Barrier of Light

Gu Shen sighed softly.

The second hypnosis was inevitable... Zhou Yexin was indeed sharper than others, she even captured her own blazing fire.

However, before hypnotizing her, he decided to tell the young lady the truth she was searching for.

"That wisp of fire...is the same thing as your pocket watch." Gu Shen said calmly: "There are indeed phenomena in this world that cannot be explained by science... Your experimental research direction is correct, and your thinking is not problematic. Dreams and the material world There are inextricably linked, the two influence each other, the material will affect the spirit, and the spirit will in turn determine the material."

"This is one of the reasons why Mr. Tang Qingquan sent me here..."

Gu Shen gave Zhou Ye's approval for the new experimental direction.

But unexpectedly, she didn't show any look of relief and ease.

calm.

It was very peaceful.

Only calm.

Finding the extraordinary in the world of ordinary people is a lonely road full of thorns and wind and snow. From studying in Central Continent to sampling in Dadu, this woman's experiment has suffered a lot along the way.

"I know."

But she just smiled, stared at her pocket watch, and said: "...My experiment is right, I have always known it."

She raised her head and asked, "Mr. Tang, are you the same person?"

"Yes... in a sense, we are all the same people, but a smaller group of guys are luckier."

Gu Shen didn't know what made the young lady so determined.

He suddenly thought of the Awakening Decree, and thought of what Hu Pan Cui Zhongcheng said, that extraordinary awakening can be controlled by humans, and if one day the decree is really promulgated, then everyone has the possibility to become a superhuman.

Perhaps in the future, the secrets of extraordinary beings will no longer be secrets.

After a moment of silence, he looked into Zhou Yexin's eyes and said seriously: "People like us... are called 'transcendents'."

"Extraordinary..."

Zhou Yexin murmured softly and lowered his eyes, his hair falling down to cover his cheeks.

No one saw that her eyes were slightly moist.

She took a deep breath, wiped her face, and when she raised her head again, there was a blazing fire between the brows of the boy opposite her again.

"Sister Xiaoxin, thank you for taking care of me these days..." Gu Shen said in a very soft voice: "Now is not the time, please forget all this."

The flame flickered.

The pocket watch vibrated, as if it was about to confront Gu Shen this time.

Zhou Yexin smiled happily and held her pocket watch.

The next moment, as the owner falls asleep willfully, the hands of the pocket watch no longer move restlessly...

"In the end...it's you."

Gu Shen focused his eyes on the faulty pocket watch, his blazing fire flashed out, and came to Zhou Yexin's eyebrows, slowly blending in: "Let me take a good look at your real origin in the dream. "

…

…

The vehicle is speeding.

The sun is dazzling.

Opening his eyes, Gu Shen saw the shadows of cars passing by on the asphalt road, and his ears were filled with the sudden distant roar and noise.

This is the first time he has entered this kind of bright and warm dreamland. There are no oppressive dark clouds or weird rules. This is like a real afternoon world. He can even feel that his mood is quite cheerful. ...

His original intention was to use this hypnosis to go to Zhou Yexin's dream to investigate the origin of the pocket watch. Although the aura contained in this extraordinary item is weak, it belongs to the category of sealed item after all.

"The first memory you have about pocket watches...is your childhood?"

Gu Shen lowered his head.

He saw his young and white palms.

Then... he felt himself walking forward slowly. Although his eyes could move freely, the movements of his body were not under his control.

The owner of this body is childhood Zhou Yexin.

Although he came to the dreamland, he was just a spectator, or a ghost living in the body of his master.

"careful."

A broad and powerful palm landed on the top of his head.

Gu Shen saw a tall man in a suit holding "myself". The man's voice was very warm, which made people feel inexplicably at ease, but his face was covered by a broken mess...

"Is this... Zhou Yexin's father?" Gu Shen was startled, "But... why is his face missing?"

The girl in the dream whispered in grievance.

"Dora is missing...I want to find her..."

The man squatted down, countless garbled words flowing on his face, but his voice was still heartwarming, "Don't cry, daddy will buy you another one."

"But... if you buy another one... it won't be Dora..."

The girl sobbed and wiped her cheeks hard, trying to look across the road, her voice broken: "I lost Dora... I want to find her..."

The man who couldn't see his face clearly reached out his hand and wiped away the tears on the girl's face.

"Don't cry. It won't look good if you cry... Dad will take you to find Dora."

He pulled the girl across the street and then across the lawn.

Gu Shen noticed... the color of this dream suddenly changed, the original warm sunlight began to dissipate, the clouds were covered by lead clouds, there were no noisy cars around, and the whole world became silent and lonely.

It's just that the man holding hands always keeps a steady pace, giving people a very strong sense of security.

Finally, the two stopped in front of a villa with red bricks and white tiles.

The day is over.

The lead cloud is overwhelming.

The dream at this moment is no longer as warm as it was at the beginning, but reveals huge depression from all directions.

"Dad...I saw Dora!"

The girl shouted with joy. Under the eaves of the villa, there was a rabbit puppet hanging, a small puppet, with its body floating in the wind.

Just after taking a step, the girl's expression of joy froze and her voice suddenly stopped.

The originally clean little rabbit doll has been penetrated through the chest, hollowed out, and hung up by a red string. It is swaying and covered with dirt.

"We found Dora."

The man spoke in a very soft voice: "Xiaoxin, stand here and don't move. Dad will help you take Dora home."

He walked towards the villa.

There was a thunder in the lead cloud.

Accompanied by the sound of thunder, the villa in the dream suddenly exploded, large pieces of glass suddenly burst, raging tides burst out from the back room, and the flames soared to the sky, and the majestic flames instantly engulfed the father's figure——

The girl stood there in a daze, with a ferocious sea of ​​scarlet fire reflected in her pupils.

She stood on the edge of the fire.

The weeds at my feet had just sprouted a small flame, which was immediately extinguished by the heavy rain.

Thunder trembled, rain poured down, and the whole world was cold and silent. Only the dilapidated villa danced in the light of the sky. It was as hot as purgatory.

A tall figure, in the core area of ​​the explosion, was hit by a huge impact, was immediately thrown into the air, and fell heavily to the ground, but he did not die... Instead, he struggled to get up and knelt on the ground , moved slowly, and finally he came to the edge of the heavy rain and the blazing tide. With trembling hands, he handed out a doll.

The surface of the puppet rabbit is coated with a light red coating, as if time has been turned back and restored to its original clean and stain-free appearance.

"dad……"

The girl's voice was very low. She took the rabbit and held it tightly in her arms. She recognized the man who was burned to a state of disfigurement.

This time, the man did not wipe away her tears.

He raised his palm helplessly, wanting to make contact, but was restrained in the end.

"Xiao Xin...be obedient from now on..."

The man smiled gently, and the scarlet flames had completely engulfed him, making him look like a miserable bloody man. This is a flame that ordinary people cannot understand, as dazzling as blood, as if it can engulf everything and burn everything.

The strong wind howled, and the bloody firelight swayed wildly in the heavy rain, like an evil ghost laughing wildly.

Dad's figure was burned by fire, blown out by wind, and shattered by rain.

This fire wave lasted for a long time. The girl stood in the heavy rain, hugging the rabbit tightly. In the dream world, countless passers-by passed by. They were all unimportant people. Blurred faces.

Finally the siren wailed and the ambulance arrived.

Many people gathered in front of the burning sea of ​​​​fire. They watched, investigated, and collected evidence.

But there is nothing left here.

Not even a fragment of clothing could be found, and all traces that could prove the man's existence were burned into nothingness.

Only one lone survivor remains...a little girl holding a stuffed rabbit.

After a long time, everyone dispersed.

After the fire, there were no sunny days in this dream. It was always rainy and gloomy.

"..."

The little girl felt a hard object inside Dora's body.

"Click."

"Click."

In the silent dream, this orderly, monotonous beating sound appeared.

The girl took out the rabbit stuffed doll, the only relic left by her father in the fire.

It was a pocket watch.

This pocket watch was severely damaged. The dial was broken and it was no longer possible to keep time correctly. The hands were permanently fixed at the 12 o'clock mark.

but.

Still beating.
