Zhang Zian raised his head and saw that everything around him was still and covered with a layer of misty gray.
The little girl ran to the door of the pet shop and maintained the posture of pushing the door open;
The pale otaku girl wandered around the door of the pet shop, hesitating;
The two boys who were talking about immortal cultivation novels froze on their faces.
The policewoman had just pushed the wheelchair out of the carriage and had not yet had time to let the disabled girl sit on it;
The exhaust of the bus filled the air and had not yet dissipated;
Pedestrians, vehicles, birds, mosquitoes … and even the wind were all still.
Except for Zhang Zian himself, there were four cats, a bird, a monkey, and a disabled mute girl who did not belong to this world.
Of course, there was also Zhuang Xiaodie, who was standing in front of him. Her gorgeous Han dress was even more gorgeous and dazzling in this gray world.
She stood erect and looked down at him.
The elfins were on full alert, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The golden cat and the tea-colored cat arched their paws, the blue cat clenched its fists, and the little monkey was unarmed. The only keyboard that could be used as a weapon was smashed yesterday. It could only pick up a branch and hold it in its hand. The grey parrot raised its butt, preparing to violate the United Nations Convention and use chemical weapons …
The disabled mute girl watched from a distance, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't even speak in the dream world. Even if high-frequency sound waves could hurt people invisibly, they couldn't be used.
However, their resistance was futile in the dream world. As long as she waved her hand, they would either disappear or be forced to withdraw from the dream world.
For example, the black-and-white kitten was very sensible and did not make any unnecessary resistance.
She was the absolute ruler of this world. In order to prevent Zhang Zian from noticing anything unreasonable, she had been restrained. Now, it was no longer necessary, and there was no need to consider the butterfly effect. She could do whatever she wanted.
"Acting? You can say that, but what's the difference? Life is like a play and a dream. If you want to live comfortably, you have to learn to lie to yourself. " He didn't seem to notice the storm-like angry expression on her face. He looked elsewhere and replied indifferently. It was a tacit agreement.
"When did it start?" she asked simply.
Since when did he suspect that this was a dream? Since when did he confirm that this was a dream?
"I didn't have an exact time. The poster in the cinema was an opportunity, but I started to suspect it a long time ago. Although I didn't suspect it was a dream, I suspected that there was something wrong with my brain … What happened after that was confirmed," he answered.
She raised her head and stared at a dog-shaped cloud in the sky. The cloud was also frozen.
This reckless dog had really caused her a lot of trouble.
Zhuang Xiaodie had mastered his past memory and understood the strength that he pretended to be. He calmly accepted the unexpected death of his parents. He was too calm, so calm that she saw through the falsehood of it at a glance. So, she chose this point of entry and thought that she would succeed. Who would have thought … If the elfins did not break into the dream, she was confident that there would be no possibility of failure.
Even so, even if the appearance of the elves was an accident and a deviation, what she regretted the most was that she couldn't tell that he was acting.
Why?
When she was browsing through his memory, she could clearly see through his lies and falsehoods, but in the dream, she was led by the nose by his poor acting skills.
Why … was that so?
In fact, she already knew the answer, but she just didn't want to face it.
When she first heard it, she didn't know the meaning of the song, but when she listened again, she knew that she was the person in the song.
When she watched from the perspective of a third party, she could see clearly, but when she personally participated and became part of the dream, she could no longer remain calm and objective. She was lost in the dream.
It was really … sad and lamentable.
She couldn't forgive herself, and she couldn't forgive the elfins who caused this series of events.
She moved her eyes and glanced at them coldly. Although this was only their consciousness, it was also connected to their bodies. If their consciousness was hit hard, what was the point of their bodies?
It was not too late for them to actively withdraw from the dream at this time. If they waited for her to launch a thunderous attack, it would be almost impossible for them to retreat. As long as she thought about it …
"Thank you."
Zhang Zian suddenly said this sentence without any rhyme or reason.
Except for the grey parrot, who could only speak a few words, only he and she could speak, so this sentence was probably directed at her.
"Thank me? What are you thanking me for? "She frowned, thinking about what he was doing.
He led the slaughter of hundreds of millions of her compatriots, and she pulled him into the dream for the purpose of revenge. If he couldn't get out, only death would be waiting for him, so there should only be hatred between them. There should be absolutely no gratitude.
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to say 'goodbye,'" he said. "Although this may not have been your intention, I still want to thank you."
Yes, he wanted to say "goodbye" – he didn't have time to say it before, he couldn't say it with a smile, and he thought he would never have the chance to say it again … Goodbye.
No matter what her purpose was, objectively, she gave him this opportunity, so he wanted to say thank you.
Zhuang Xiaodie was speechless.
She should have snorted, but why did her heart have mixed feelings?
She laughed at herself. She came for revenge, but she inadvertently untied the biggest knot in his heart.
The demons in his heart were gone, and it was tantamount to being reborn.
"I don't need to thank you. I just want you to tell me – since you are acting in front of me, why can't you act more realistically? Don't you know that if I am not happy, I can end this dream at any time, and you will never have a chance to say 'goodbye!' "she asked coldly and glanced at the black-and-white kitten.
She had already lowered herself to beg him, but he still refused her, preferring to chase a kitten. She really couldn't swallow this.
He nodded. "I'm sorry, I really want to say 'goodbye' at the right time, but I don't know if the consciousness of the elves is injured or dead in the dream. Will it affect their bodies in reality? Their power in the dream is obviously greatly weakened, and they can't even protect themselves, so I can't just ignore it."
Knowing that there were cat abusers in this world, he couldn't rest assured that the black-and-white kitten would lose its power and run around, so he had to chase after it. If this caused the dream to be interrupted prematurely, then there was nothing he could do.
Every minute and every second in the dream was worth it to him.
He wanted to spend more time with his parents, but he thought that Zhuang Xiaodie's anger could no longer be suppressed. Instead of stopping the dream abruptly under her anger, it was better to stop while he was ahead and decisively say "goodbye."
Fortunately, she tolerated it until now.
No matter when the dream ended, he had no regrets.
