Chapter 574: Dream World

“No, it’s the blue planet.”

The answers that voice provided were as vague as usual, but this time Xiao Lin immediately reacted as he said strangely, “Blue planet? Are you talking about Earth?”

“No, based on terminology, Earth was only called so after the fifth era, while Blue Planet was its name since the first. It was named so after its color. This is something life has set forth in the universe, which is that sight was the most direct reaction…”

“Fine, fine! Call it Blue Planet!” Xiao Lin’s head hurt as he interrupted the other person before he pulled the topic back. “You said that sky fishes could hypnotize people. Are you saying we’re currently hypnotized?”

“That’s right, which is why I can talk to you. I’m not allowed to interact with you too early, as it would break the laws, but the sky fish’s existence was not within our expectations. The flow of time can be anticipated, but the sands of time are never certain, so I can talk to you here.”

Xiao Lin sighed, not bothering to ask why it could not interact with him too early because he already knew that it did not know. He ignored what was said during that time since he knew it was a theory that he could not grasp.

“How do I wake up from this false hypnotic world?” Xiao Lin continued to ask, pausing before he added, “Just tell me how to handle the sky fish. I feel that it would be hard to fight it since it can hypnotize us without us knowing. Does it have any weaknesses?”

“The sky fish itself is ordinary in strength, which was why it was hunted to near extinction during the first era. The dream world has very mysterious powers. Even though the hypnotist is the sky fish, the dream world still needs a form of support.”

That voice started to sound fatigued, so it hastened its speech. “I don’t have much time left; the shards you collected can wake me up from slumber for short period of time, but the power of the shards is still not enough, and I will quickly fall back asleep, so I will transfer the location of the other shards to you. I hope we will meet again soon…”

After that, Xiao Lin felt a strong and formless pulse of energy come out from the blackhole; the energy pulse cracked the meditative world, and at that moment Xiao Lin’s head felt like it had exploded. He woke up abruptly as his body trembled.

“Monitor, what happened?!”

Everyone gathered over as they looked on as their monitor panted heavily, as if he had just gone through a large battle. Xiao Lin waved them away, indicating that he was fine, but he could not help but massage his temples. His head hurt too much; that energy pulse should be something like a pulse of memories. At that moment, a large amount of information flooded into his brain, and he felt like his brain was lagging in the same way that a computer would.

“All of this is… My god, who is that person!” After calming down, Xiao Lin quickly digested the information in his head. Even just a small bit of it was enough to shock him.

“What person? Where is this person?”

The rest of them were very curious, and Xiao Lin smiled softly as he recovered, “I think I already know how to get out of this place.”

“Really?”

“That’s great! The monitor really has his ways!”

“Get out?”

…

Xiao Lin did not continue, he remembered the words that person said when he was meditating. What frustrated him was that, since there was not enough time, the instructions were very vague.

The sky fish itself is ordinary in strength, which was why it was hunted to near extinction during the first era. The dream world has very mysterious powers. Even though the hypnotist is the sky fish, the dream world still needs a form of support…

That was the only clue.

In truth, after realizing that there were no signs of life around them, Xiao Lin had a suspicion, and now his suspicion had evidence behind it.

There was no way for there to be anywhere devoid of life in Planet Norma, unless that place was an illusion. That had been Xiao Lin’s guess; the dream world could be said to be an illusion, and just like that mysterious voice said, the dream world was a mysterious power.

What was the support of the dream world?

Xiao Lin’s expression slowly turned strange. He could not help but look around at the other six around him. They were looking at him in anticipation and anxiety, waiting for their monitor to explain and make a decision.

If this was the dream world after being hypnotized, then it could only be his own dream world. In his dream, other than himself, everyone else should be fake, including his so-called companions around him.

However, even if he knew it was a dream world, it was not easy to wake up from it. If he failed to wake up, then he would be asleep until the examination ended!

He tried some ways to wake himself up, such as pinching himself, but the clear feeling of pain made him feel like he was not dreaming.

Maybe death?

Xiao Lin shook his head. He would pass on such a dangerous method. After all, his pain felt real, so what if dying in the dream world would end up in him really dying?

He could not accept that, so the key lay in the support.

What was the support point for the dream world?

Xiao Lin worked hard thinking about it. The voice had given him a clue, but he still had to grab onto the clue to find the key to the door.

As he remained sitting, he tried to move around to make his body more comfortable, but he almost fell down as he did so. Xiao Lin suddenly remembered that his left hand had completely lost all feeling. He prepared to stand up, and at that moment, his body stiffened as a flash appeared in his mind.

Support… If it could be understood at the point of communication between the real world and the dream world, then the support point should be in the real world and not in the dream world. Xiao Lin had always been very smart, and thinking about it, he felt like such a mysterious and massive hypnosis would not be something that could be conventionally understood. The power might need to be stored in the real body in order to be effective in the long term.

And his left arm had lost all feeling after that night. He had thought that it was the act of that strange fish, but the sky fish did not have that ability.

Maybe his left arm was the support for the dream world!

That was why he had lost all feeling, because the left arm never entered the dream world, so he naturally could not feel it. It was possible that his thought process was off. After all, who would dream of missing an arm? However, in this world, normalcy did not apply, just like how he could not imagine a fish that could live above the clouds and swim in the winds.
