"Ahh Zhao Baian gasped for breath and opened his eyes on the bed with a scream.

Ah, it turned out to be a dream! She held her head in her hands, curled up, and kept clutching her hair, trying to calm down.

Even though he has experienced a lot of dreams so far, it is because of this too real feeling that Zhao Baian can't quickly withdraw when he wakes up. It felt as if she had two realities stacked on top of each other.

"Whew~" As soon as he closed his eyes, Fang Zhihua's body lying on the sofa without moving kept flickering in front of Zhao Bai'an's eyes. When I opened my eyes and looked at my hands, there was only a trace of moonlight barely squeezing in the dark night, and my black hands seemed to be stained with blood.

It was still deep at night. Now that you're so sober, it's better to make a cup of hot chocolate to calm down further.

Zhao Bai'an quietly climbed out of bed, and the sweaty layer inside his pajamas had begun to dry. Walking to the end of the hallway with the cup in hand, she pushed open the door to the activity room.

Hey, there's no one in the activity room.

Zhao Baian thought he would see Gao Yanran. Shouldn't she be holding a notebook in the activity room at this time?

Zhao Bai'an, who was full of doubts, poured a full cup of hot water at the water heater, and the heat after melting the chocolate powder rushed out of the cup like a mushroom cloud, and she took a deep breath. Well~ It's a reassuring aroma of happiness.

Zhao Baian held the hot mug and opened the door of the activity room again.

A coolness swept through the whole body, and even the heat on the hands decreased a little.

Outside the door of the activity room, a huge high hall with a white dome and marble benches scattered around the white railings is not far away......

Yes! Here it is...... White Church!

But......

Zhao Bai'an looked back, and behind her was indeed an activity room-like room, and her pajamas had also turned into white short-sleeved singles and white shorts, with blood stains on them.

Zhao Bai'an's heart couldn't help but feel a wave of discomfort. Fang Zhihua's lying body flashed in front of her eyes again.

What the hell is going on here? If she continues to do it, she will suspect that she is crazy!

Zhao Baian put down the mug in his hand and walked into the white church alone.

The door to the activity room automatically closed behind her, and Zhao Bai'an stepped out of the milky white door that was about half the height of the entire dome. The aroma of chocolate disappears and is replaced by a rusty gas.

Last time, I didn't have time to take a closer look, but at such a close distance, the gate seemed even taller. There was a faint relief on the door panel, and she reached out to touch the door panel, a piece of smoothness, and the relief seemed to grow from the inside out, which only existed on the inside of the door panel.

Above Zhao Bai'an's head, white lacquered metal strips intertwined and twisted to form branches that spiraled upward. At the top of the gate bloom the same white metallic flowers.

No, it's not so accurate to say it's white. The coating on the metal flowers has partially peeled off, and the exposed areas have rusted. On the petals, rust-brown spots are dotted, as if ...... It's like dried blood.

What did Zhao Baian smell of rust? Or bloody gas?

In this way, the White Church seems to feel a little different to her now. Although it was still so quiet, the light cast from the high place cast a faint layer of blood on all the white.

The calm and peaceful atmosphere was filled with unease.

Or is it actually all her retinal problem?

Zhao Bai'an's temples jumped suddenly, the whole person was in a trance, and her eyes couldn't focus for a while, so she had to sit on the ground weakly with her back against the door.

"Click, click, click," there was a sound of footsteps.

Kindness? Someone?

"Click, click, click, click," someone was walking towards Zhao Bai'an.

Who is it?

A teenager dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt and white shorts like her didn't know when he appeared on the fence.

Ah, that's ......

"Magician...... "Oh no, it's not, when the young man got closer, Zhao Bai'an finally saw his face clearly, as well as those eyes, "Miki ......"

Huo Miki, who looked a little similar to Chen Yudi, walked all the way to Zhao Bai'an's eyes.

It was as cool as a breeze, sweeping away the bloody breath in her nostrils.

"What's wrong? It feels like you're a little confused. For the first time, a deep voice came from a body with fiery red eyes.

"Miki, your presence here means ...... It's really a dream here......" Zhao Bai'an wanted to speak and stopped, but she had obviously come from the activity room just now.

"That's right, this is the world I exist, which is what you call a dream."

"But ......" The strange feeling has not disappeared, and besides......

"You... It's the first time I've seen you appear as a man, so I'm a little overwhelmed at once. ”

"Hahaha, Xiaobai, didn't I say it a long time ago? As far as I'm concerned, I don't have any gender. Huo Miki sat down beside Zhao Bai'an and leaned against the door with her.

"Yes, I know. It's just you this time...... Looks a bit like someone I know. ”

"Oh? Yes. Huo Miki pursed his lips and smiled lightly at Zhao Bai'an, "That's probably because you want me to appear with such a face now." ”

Huo Miki's words suddenly pulled Zhao Baian back to the day he first met him on Red Heart Island.

- "It's not just me, this Island of Hearts, it's all because of your preferences, your wishes. ”

"Why... Why do I have memories of Hearts Isles? And Siqing, Si Li, Fang Zhihua... Even the curry rice with Ji Qiu and them can be remembered clearly! The more Zhao Bai'an thought about it, the clearer his memory became, and the tighter his brows wrinkled.

This...... How could it be a dream?

Zhao Bai'an pressed his temples on both sides of his hands incredulously.

"And I could clearly realize that I was in a dream, as if... It's like what I know in real life! ”

"Xiaobai, don't panic." Miki touched her head, "It's not strange that you can have such a perception here. Although this is a dream, this is the temple of your subconscious, the center of the operation of the dream world, and it is not surprising to have such a cognition. ”

"The temple of the subconscious?" Zhao Bai'an chewed on what Huo Miki said, "I thought Red Heart Island was the center." ”

"The definitions are somewhat similar, but the functions are very different. It's more like a deep operating center, so you have memories and thoughts here that are very similar to reality. And Hearts Island is more like a surface node, the cloak of a subconscious temple or something, in the end it is just a dream story. Your dreams will reflect a lot of your subconscious, as if every time I change my image. ”

"No, how do you know so well? You know we're in a dream! But you are also the product of my dream! Does everyone in my dreams know that they are in my dreams? Mr. Rabbit and Ah Mushroom, are they all cooperating with me! ”

"Hahaha, it's not." Huo Miki laughed, and then sighed slightly, "They really live in this world. And I just know that this world is your dream, and there are some working mechanisms that I don't know, and I don't think even you know in reality. ”

"Besides, I'm only going to get through my memories here, so you don't have to worry about whether the Red Queen is acting." Huo Mimu paused, pointed at Zhao Bai'an with his right index finger, and then pointed at himself, "To some extent, I seem to be synchronized with you, or connected. ”

"Oh~ That's it!" Zhao Bai'an nodded, "So you can always show up at certain moments when I need it, and you are indeed the most special one." ”

Huo Miki crossed his legs, turned his face to look at her sideways, and said, "I can know so clearly because I was born here, this subconscious temple. ”

"At the beginning...... I don't know how long ago I woke up in that circle. Miki narrowed his eyes at the low railings in the middle of the hall.

"At first glance, I saw you who claimed to be Zhao Bai'an, and at that time, ah......" Miki began to recall like an old man.

"You said you're only 12 years old, that's about that tall." He raised his arm and gestured in the air, "You also gave my name." ”

"Then you told me that this is a church, which is actually a subconscious temple, but you say that this is a church, because the church represents a white and peaceful place in your heart."

"Later, you brought me to Hearts Island, and I mainly settled there and became the Red Queen. I wouldn't remember that if I was there, anyway. ”

"I see... Miki! You know a lot. ”

Huo Miki smiled heartily at Zhao Bai'an: "What I know is actually just what you know, I just pulled them out of your head and presented them to you." ”

"By the way, Miki," Zhao Bai'an suddenly thought, "Then what did you look like in the first place?" ”

A helpless smile appeared in front of her: "Xiaobai, in this world, we can't see ourselves in the mirror." So what I was like in the first place, only you know. ”

Yes? But......

"But...... Now that you've forgotten, let it go with the wind. Huo Miki seemed to see Zhao Bai'an's guilt.

"My initial appearance was just your subconscious at that time, don't care, you have grown, and I should also change."

"Well...... Thank you for comforting me Miki. It's no wonder that I wanted to confirm it when I became Siqing, but I couldn't see it clearly. ”

"Oh yes, Siqing!" Zhao Bai'an suddenly remembered what she had just experienced, and chatting with Huo Miki had a feeling that what had just happened had become a distant existence.

"Siqing stabbed Fang Zhihua just now, are you also there?" She looked at Miki Ho.

"Why...... Why did I become Siqing later? Or did Siqing become me? As Zhao Bai'an recalled, the light in the subconscious hall seemed to become even more dim, "Miki, that's like...... It's like I'm really killing someone, and it's a terrible feeling. ”

"Little white ......" Huo Miki moved towards Zhao Bai'an's side and hugged her who was trembling slightly, "Although it is true that there has not been such a situation before, I think you should have been too involved at that time." ”

"You know, these are your dreams, and even if they really happened in reality, they were just re-screens in your dreams. So, I think you're too involved, and you're pulled straight into the first perspective in the dream. Your flustered feelings are actually empathy for Siqing. ”

"So, it's not you who stabbed people, Xiaobai, you don't need to blame yourself for worrying, and you can't change such an established fact." Huo Miki patted Zhao Bai'an on the shoulder while comforting, "Do you want to see what happened to Fang Zhihua?" ”

Yes......

"Follow me." Huo Miki stood up and took Zhao Bai'an's hand and pulled her up from the ground, and she found that the blood stains on her clothes had long since disappeared.

Walking through the subconscious hall horizontally, step by step, as he got closer and closer to the wooden door on the other side, Zhao Bai'an's flustered and abnormal mood under the influence of Siqing gradually calmed down, the light above his head returned to colorless, and the milky white door he walked in just now was slowly healing, and the rusty flowers were recovering their white coat piece by piece.

Bypassing the massive pillar, Hizumiki pushed open the wooden door.
