Chapter 50

Hu Xing doesn't know where she is now. He saw the sewer and grandpa in the sewer, as well as the shadow tangled with Grandpa, but she knew she was not in the sewer. She can see them, but they can't see themselves.

"What the hell is this?" Hu Xing asked.

Aoki shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"You say that dreams are created by yourself, so nightmares should also be created by yourself. But why should people create a terrible world to scare themselves?" Hu Xing said: "just like my grandfather now, why should they create a shadow to kill him in their dreams?"

Aoki said: "People's nightmares are often stimulated by the outside world. For example, when I burn your toes with a lighter while you are asleep, you will dream of a fire burning your body; when I pour some water on you, you will dream of a torrential flood. Of course, even without such external stimulation, you will have nightmares. That's because you have fear in your heart, which is hidden in your subconscious mind When you dream, the subconscious will visualize your fear by weaving relevant memory materials. The darker the heart, the more nightmares you have. "

"But I'm sure --" Aoki's face became dignified. "This shadow was never created by your grandfather. It doesn't belong to the product of your grandfather's consciousness. It's an intruder!"

"Intruder?"

"Yes, intruder," Aoki said, "Just like us now, we can also be called the intruder in your grandfather's dream, but we have stayed at his border, not to disturb him, let alone invade him. If you get closer, his conscious space will be disturbed, the space will fluctuate, and the dreams of ordinary people with weak mental power will collapse and he will wake up from bed. If the dreamer's spirit The force is much stronger than you. You may be bound by his space rules and can't escape, or even be attacked by him. "

"You mean that shadow is another person like us?" Hu Xing asked.

Aoki said, "not quite. It can disguise as the shadow of your grandfather, which shows that it has a very close relationship with your grandfather. If your grandfather is a schizophrenic, it makes sense."

Hu Xing thought it was incredible and said, "impossible! My grandfather has never had a mental problem."

Aoki said, "that's very troublesome. The shadow obviously has independent consciousness and knows everything about your grandfather. He can control the light in your grandfather's dream, which shows that he knows the rules and spatial structure in the dream clearly. He even knows what your grandfather's consciousness will do next."

"It's terrible! Why did he want me to kill my grandfather?"

"To be exact, it's not killing your grandfather, but killing your grandfather's ontological consciousness," Aoki said.

"What's the difference?" Hu Xing asked.

"If he succeeds, your grandfather's brain and body will be his in the future. That is to say, your grandfather won't die. He eats, drinks and laughs with you every day, but this person is probably not your grandfather, but another person. You can also call it - giving up!"

"Ah, it's terrible!" Hu Xing opened her mouth. "Aoki, you have to help my grandfather. He's a good man. This family can't do without him. You must have a way to destroy the intruder, at least drive him out of my grandfather's body!"

"I'll try."

Aoki then took a step forward. Strangely, they had been at the boundary of Xia Wenyuan's dream. They were very far away. When they took this step, they came to Xia Wenyuan as if they had crossed a space-time corridor.

At this time, the long shadow was climbing along the wall of the sewer to Xia Wenyuan's head.

The head of a thin shadow hung upside down from the top of the cave. It opened its mouth and showed its dark teeth. In its mouth was a dark, bottomless hole.

But the arrival of Qingmu obviously disturbed it. The shadow and Xia Wenyuan turned their heads to see them at the same time.

"Who are you?" almost at the same time, Aoki and Xia Wenyuan's shadow asked the same words.

The surrounding dream space suddenly vibrated, like the earthquake at the beginning of the earthquake. The muscles on Xia Wenyuan's face also shook with the space, looking very painful.

Hu Xing only felt that his chest was hit by a heavy weight, and his brain fell into a short-circuit stagnation for a moment.

The shadow looked back at Xia Wenyuan, and then looked at Aoki: "you can stop him from quitting his dream!"

Aoki said, "tell me who you are. Maybe I can let you go."

The shadow showed a ferocious look: "why?"

A crow suddenly flew through the sky outside the sewer outlet and shouted "quack".

The shadow seemed a little afraid and shook a few times. "Whew" returned to the wall and said, "you can't hurt me. I'm his shadow. If you hurt me, you hurt him!"

"Really?" said Aoki, taking two steps forward, pulling the board on the water and making a more wonderful tap sound than the ground.

Another crow croaked. The crow flapped its wings and flew out of the rock. As soon as its claws were closed, it caught the shadow.

The shadow wailed bitterly under the crow's claws.

"There shouldn't be a shadow in your dream." Aoki said, "people have a shadow because they have a dark side. If your heart is full of light, where can you get the shadow!"

Hu Xing unconsciously looked at his feet and saw nothing.

"No! There can't be such a man! At least he's not!" roared the shadow.

Aoki took a look at Xia Wenyuan, and Xia Wenyuan's body shook obviously. Aoki knows that the shadow is telling the truth. If we don't clarify its origin, it's impossible to make the manager of such a large family without darkness.

"Who are you?" Aoki asked. His voice was no longer so lazy, but became deep and loud, like the bell in the temple, hitting people's hearts.

"I'm Xia Wenyuan," said the shadow painfully.

"Who the hell are you?" Aoki asked again.

"I'm Xia Wenyuan." the shadow looked more and more painful.

Aoki sighed and stopped talking.

The crow suddenly tightened its claws, then flapped its wings, "quack" and flew to the depths of the sewer. The shadow was caught into pieces by the crow's claws, and scattered in the dirty water with the crow's away.

Only the shadow's painful cry echoed in the sewer: "I'm Xia Wenyuan..."

Xia Wenyuan curled up in the corner. The light outside the exit came in and shone on him. On the water beside him, a faint dark shadow slowly emerged
