Chapter 196 (1/2)
That piece of ice and snow, the world is vast and green, and there is no end at a glance.
Aoki doesn't know how much spiritual power it takes to enter the forbidden area through the dream barrier. He wanted to have a try and see what was there. But he knows that Hong Zhenlong's mental state can't support his dream for long. His dream is the only way to connect with the world. If Aoki enters the restricted area and Hong Zhenlong exits the dream, the situation will become very complicated. Aoki is likely to be trapped in that space and can't find his way back.
He can't take the risk until he's sure.
However, Aoki doesn't quite understand that since the shadow is already in Hong Zhenlong's dream, why don't you go in directly instead of forcing Hong Zhenlong to break through the barrier?
Aoki originally wanted to communicate with this shadow for a while, just like Lester, to study the characteristics of this race.
However, the shadow seemed to see his intention and suddenly rushed towards the green wood.
Aoki felt a surging and explosive spiritual force, just like the force that suddenly erupted when Hong Zhenlong was bound by a restraint belt. At the same time, Hong Zhenlong's noumenon consciousness also rushed towards Qingmu and burst out with the same force.
The two Hong Zhenlong is as like as two peas in a body, even in action. Aoki knows that this is because the shadow has become one with Hong Zhenlong and interacts with each other. When the shadow has the intention to kill Aoki, Hong Zhenlong's ontological consciousness also has such an idea.
In this dream, Aoki, as an alien intruder, poses a great threat to space. If he had not suppressed it with powerful spiritual force, Hong Zhenlong would have rushed like a tiger whose territory had been violated. Of course, the result would only cause the space to collapse.
The reason why shadows can affect Hong Zhenlong is that Hong Zhenlong himself has similar ideas. It's like the shadow makes Hong Zhenlong rush to the restricted area in anger. That's the real idea that Hong Zhenlong has been repressing in his heart for a long time. The more the forbidden area is, the more he wants to go in and have a look. It's just that the curiosity is temporarily suppressed by the legacy of his ancestors and fear of the unknown.
Two exploding Hong Zhenlong rushed up at the same time. If they were just ordinary people, they would have been torn apart by the violent spiritual power.
Aoki gently shook his head, leaving the shadow for the time being, but Hong Zhenlong's spirit will be greatly damaged and his body will be damaged if he doesn't have a good intention. Fortunately, the shadow has not yet fully grown, otherwise Aoki can't tell who is true and who is false, so he can only quit his dream.
He gently raised his hand, and the speed of Hong Zhenlong and his shadow slowed down. It was like rushing into the water, and his action became slow action.
The air in the dream space is slowly solidifying, and you can see crystal like things in the air. The two Hong Zhenlong moved more and more slowly, and finally stopped. You can see that the ice edges around them reflect the sun. About half a room has become ice. The two figures are like ancient creatures frozen in transparent amber, twisting their teeth and claws.
Qingmu stepped forward, stretched out a hand and gently pushed the part of the ice where the shadow was. The half of the ice fell down and crashed into small particles. A small shadow of Hong Zhenlong can be seen in each ice particle.
The real Hong Zhenlong is still in the ice.
A red sun appeared in the sky, so close that it was within reach. Under the strong sunlight, the ice began to melt and turn into a pool of water, and the ice particles on the ground had long disappeared.
Hong Zhenlong stood on the ground again.
Strangely, the scorching sun did not melt the snow on the ground, and he had no shadow under the strong light.
Such dream rules are completely different from Hong Zhenlong's own dream. It's like you set up a tent in the snow and live in a cave.
Hong Zhenlong stood there in amazement, suddenly fell down and twitched like a goat.
Aoki knows that his mental power is consumed too much and his body has reached its limit. He must quit his dream. But Hong Zhenlong could not wake up at this time, and could only struggle like a nightmare.
Aoki quit his dream first and saw Hong Zhenlong on the bed with stiff muscles, straight body and salivating corners of his mouth, as if he was about to die.
