Chapter 13: The Sea of Mirrors in Dreams
The vastness of the ocean that can accommodate transcendent beings, which has been the origin of life since ancient times, and contains countless miracles and mysteries, seems to be slowly and steadily releasing strange energy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I don't know when he drifted here, and the boy who had been in a coma seemed to wake up from the innermost layer, and slowly expanded his senses.
"...... here" The teenager, who was still a little confused, observed the different environment outside through his perception, and was slightly surprised. Of course, he remembered that he had been in the dark cavern of the earth a moment earlier, but he had suddenly found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.
It stands to reason that even the strongest human beings would feel panic or fright when they were suddenly taken to a strange place, but at this moment, the boy in a strange state seems to have given up such unnecessary emotions.
The young man seemed to have discovered such an abnormality in his rapid thoughts, but after a little perception of his state, he added a sense of doubt.
The endless indifference of emptiness from the outside eroded his current body, and this slightly familiar state reminded him of the moments he had felt after his death in his previous life.
I'm afraid that I should be in a state of pure consciousness or soul right now? Even if he came to a certain terrible conclusion, the teenager did not have too many mood swings due to the state.
Life or death, such philosophical speculation also made the young man quite brain-draining, and for a while he didn't know if his body in this life was really destroyed by the blow of the green light.
"But is this life shorter than the last...... It's quite normal in these times. "Thinking back to this crazy world full of mutations, and taking on the position of a rather dangerous admiral, it is quite possible that he will die suddenly at some point.
Just as the young man calmly analyzed the danger of this world, a different kind of warmth suddenly rose in his heart, which was becoming more and more cold.
It was not an illusion, but a force of mind full of attachment and inexplicable affection, and seemed to have an inseparable relationship with him. The young man inquired into it and realized that this seemed to be a spiritual contract with Veneto, which made him instantly overturn a series of ideas.
The contract between the Admiral and the Ship's Lady must be maintained only if both parties are still alive, and at this moment, relying on this he can push his body back is still alive.
The boy who knew this important information even stabilized his mind that had been silent. Even if he already feels that it is God's affection to live another life, he does not want to leave the world easily at this moment, his ideals, ambitions and responsibilities are not in sight, and he still retains the hope of life.
Of course, at this moment, he did not seriously think about why he could sense the contract of Veneto alone, perhaps this is also the consequence of the fact that most people do not realize that the initial ship is important to an admiral.
After the young man's mind was released, he involuntarily prepared to control his body and wanted to move somewhere else. After all, in the depths of this extremely dim ocean with little light, it really doesn't feel right.
But after struggling for a while, he finally found that he didn't seem to take the initiative to change his position, but was surrounded by an inexplicable force.
Just as the boy was thinking like this, a spark of thought popped up a term that surprised him a little:
Lucid dreaming
The teenager who had taken a higher meditation course in the academy was naturally aware of the rumors recorded in the ancient books, but he had not taken them seriously before in this era when he could interfere with dreams with instruments.
At this moment, the scene in front of the young man's eyes suddenly changed, and the young man who was originally bound in one place was carried up by an inexplicable force, constantly moving higher from the depths of the ocean.
The dim and turbid waters were constantly changing, as if they were becoming clearer and clearer by the light from above, but to his surprise, there was no life here.
Yes, all signs of life are completely gone, and the boy who observes his surroundings by scering can confirm that there are no even the smallest and most tenacious bacteria here. You must know that although the temperature of the water here is low, there are still essential elements, why does it not live up to the minimum demand for life?
Is this still the earth? Such an environment was far beyond the limits of his cognition. You must know that even in that environment full of strong radiation ultraviolet rays, life can still draw nutrients from the harsh environment to grow.
Whether it is the crevices of glaciers in extremely cold and extreme day, or the extremely hot magma frontiers, there is the slightest life. Even planets in outer space have some of the simplest structures of life. But all this miracle of life is completely lost here.
The sheer tranquility, leaving only the dead silence atmosphere that seems to be unchanged for eternity and seems to be frozen in time, makes the teenager who replaces the five senses with perception can't help but tremble. This is the real desperate realm of life, the absolute realm of death where all life does not exist.
And as the scenery continued to jump, the young man's original doubts gradually solidified on his face, turning into rare horror.
Heading from the depths of the sea to the shallows, he naturally witnessed the huge ice and land that shrouded the endless sea. However, this is completely different from his previous understanding, which is that most of the icebergs in nature are lurking under the surface of the sea, but at the moment the seawater crystals he observed are mostly stiff and fixed on the surface of the sea.
The boy who turned to mid-air sensed the limit of the release, and was able to roughly confirm that the place was completely covered by unknown crystals, and the whole world turned into pure blue.
Turquoise crystals? Where do you seem to have seen it?
Just thinking like this, his position continued to rise, and that spiritual power could only barely observe a small piece of crystalline area, until he reached the limit, but he inadvertently sensed the area that released infinite jade-colored brilliance.
"The fragment itself...... What is it...... Why is that light so similar? This was the only question on the teenager's mind before he lost consciousness again.
…………
In the real world where the teenager is unconscious
In the cave of the mountain stone wrapped in pure blue crystal, a young man is being held tightly by the girl behind him. The boy's admiral uniform was stripped off and draped over his chest, but behind it was occupied by the girl.
She was leaning her petite body against the young man's back, but her delicate face was involuntarily lowered, as if she didn't want to think too much about things.
The girl's ruddy complexion is not just due to shyness. It's more due to the changes in her unusually high body temperature. The way the radiant core converts radiant energy into heat energy has caused her body temperature to reach more than fifty degrees, which is already a conspicuous heat source in this cold cavern with an average of only twenty degrees.
Instead of being bored to train her controllabilities, she used this method to heat a teenager with a very low body temperature. Not long ago, after the teenager fell into a coma, his body temperature began to drop rapidly, and the girl who was afraid that she was not controlling the conversion of heat energy properly, naturally had to use such a crude way to keep warm.
To say that when the boy was still awake at the moment, it was natural to take out some field daily equipment from the boy's subspace, but when the boy fell into a coma, such methods came to naught, and there was no such thing left in Veneto's subspace.
The girl's heart was actually very anxious, the boy had been unconscious for one hour, fifty-three minutes, and forty-seven seconds, and the girl remembered every minute and second of the waiting time clearly. But what made her feel powerless the most was that she didn't know how long the teenager would fall asleep and be in a coma.
"Sister Veneto? …… Hasn't Mr. Commander woken up yet? Even through the spiritual link, she could roughly understand the worry of the blue-haired girl who was waiting at the entrance of the cave.
After all, in terms of intimacy, the lively and energetic Mogador has a fairly good relationship with the Admiral, and most of the time Mogador will stick to the Admiral in the office if he has no tasks.
Thinking of this, Veneto was inexplicably a little uncomfortable, but then her duties as a flagship allowed her to accurately report the current state of the Admiral in order to reassure them.
"No, maybe we'll need to keep a vigil here tonight." After calming down a little, Veneto made some mental preparations for several people in advance.
"Uhhh......hh
Neither Guy nor Aritus nor Veneto, who was in charge at the moment, gave the order to allow a few men to abandon their garrison duties and enter the cave, so even Mogador, who was quite active and playful in the past, was quite disciplined. Of course, this is due to the fact that Veneto is in charge, and the majesty of the flagship makes them can't help but restrain their minds.
The slight tremor in her chest made her a little stunned, but then she only thought that it was an illusion caused by her too nervousness, and she couldn't help but hug a little when she felt the cold body of the young man.
"I hope the Admiral will wake up soon...... That fragment is still too dangerous, and the Admiral must not be allowed to touch it easily next time......" The girl thought to herself with such annoyance, but she did not realize that the half-seated young man had opened his blue eyes.
The cold and stiff body made it difficult for the boy to move, but even so, he could still feel the softness and warmth coming from his back.
Not...... Well, it was only now that he finally confirmed that Veneto was indeed a young girl. It is not the same as Mogador, who is still a child before it has yet to develop, after all, the difference between having and not is much greater than the difference between big and small......
Maybe it was because of the emotional turmoil that made the body tremble slightly, and even the girl who was originally a little distracted noticed the abnormality.
"Admiral?" The girl asked softly with a glimmer of hope.
"Ahem......" The young man originally wanted to say something, but his muscles were stiff and uncontrollable, and he could only cough lightly to indicate that he was awake.
"Admiral! You're finally awake......" The girl wanted to say more, but it was hard to get out. The tremendous pressure caused by the Admiral's coma was instantly released, and even the suppressed emotions in the past turned into tears.
It wasn't until today's sudden incident that the girl really realized that Aritus was an indispensable person for herself. It is not only the responsibility that comes with the spiritual contract, but also the absolute trust and reliance that comes from what the two have experienced. If it weren't for the existence of the teenager, she might have lost her way and not only went anywhere.
"Sorry...... I didn't expect this to happen...... Ahem...... "The young man who had just recovered spoke a little reluctantly, but he still replied to the girl. He knew that it was Veneto who had been taking care of him during the time he was unconscious.
"The Admiral is so worrying...... If you don't say anything, it's also ...... this mess," the girl snuggled tightly behind the boy and complained.
"Alright, I'm fine......" The heat coming from behind him and the energy generated by the radiation core in his body gradually began to recover, but when he tried to force himself to stand up, he encountered great resistance.
"The Admiral's temperature hasn't returned to normal...... Even if the Admiral gives an order, it will not let go. Veneto looked away, as if trying to hide the tears from his face.
But she may have forgotten that this admiral of her own can release her spirit to perceive the outside world, and the young man whose mental power is extremely active at this time can naturally notice what is happening behind him.
Even if he has been in the psychological age for more than 30 years, he doesn't know how to comfort the girl when he sees the girl crying at this moment, and he said with some embarrassment:
"It's not nice to cry......"
"...................................." The girl suddenly recalled the Admiral's perceptual ability, and tried to restrain the expression on her face, but the increasingly red face betrayed her inner thoughts.
"The Admiral is too messy...... I don't know what that fragment is, so it might be safer for me to pick it up......" The girl changed the subject, a little awkwardly said.
"No! Have you forgotten the last time you touched that spot of light and were unconscious for hours...... This thing is more of a threat to you......" Aritus flatly rejected Veneto's request.
"But the Admiral is in danger too! How can we, as ship mothers, not protect the Admiral! Veneto's voice rose a little and shouted.
"But I don't want anything to happen to you...... Forget it, next time this kind of thing should be handled more carefully. Faced with this mysterious substance of unknown origin, and after encountering two accidents, the boy finally restrained his original curiosity and inquiry.
Who can deny that there is no danger behind these fragments? Just a little bit of strength can make the ship girls unconscious, and even he seems to have some reaction to it, and the boy can't help but start to summarize and reflect on this incident.
However, after encountering such a crisis, he also has his own extraordinary gains, and at this moment he can only roughly sense that something seems to have changed.
