Chapter 243: The Night of Dreams
In the pitch-black void, the light was so eye-catching, and at this moment, Lin Tuo also confirmed the authenticity of the one-eyed giant's words.
It was indeed the same as the "stars" he had seen when he broke through the realm.
In the next second, the ball of light seemed to be a little overwhelmed by the huge number of requests that kept pouring in.
Some were stunned, and some collapsed.
The bright light froze for a moment, showing signs of being extinguished again.
Lin Tuo was momentarily dumbfounded, thinking that it couldn't be caused by the huge amount of data...... That's the end of the calf, but fortunately, after a moment of sluggishness, the light is back up and running.
"Scared me." Immediately, Lin Tuo, who breathed a sigh of relief, was surprised to find that rows of new requests began to emerge from the light cluster.
Not a wish request, but a spellcasting request.
It sounds a bit mysterious, but at this moment, Lin Tuo really feels as if he is wandering in a torrent of information.
As far as you can read, you can read the specific content of more than a billion wishes at will.
and can be "agreed" or "denied" by choice.
"I can choose any of them to fulfill my wishes." Lin Tuo suddenly woke up, and then, he discovered another interesting thing.
That is, the information around you is also different.
Some are bright and some are gray.
At the thought of him, he instantly realized that the desire of the bright color could be satisfied, and the gray one could not be satisfied......
"Sure enough, the Prayer Candle can't fulfill all wishes, and there is a set of rules inside." Lin Tuo was not surprised.
He had expected this earlier.
The logic is also very simple, if this artifact really has no restrictions on the types of wishes, then there is no need to run away when it was hunted down by Hathaway and other transcendents.
It is completely possible to manipulate people to make a wish that "all pursuers die immediately...... Or something like that.
Even more directly, wouldn't it be invincible to promise that "one's abilities will not be limited in any way"?
But in fact, it is still being chased around.
In the end, he was forcibly banned by Lin Tuo with a "big silence", thus collapsing...... All this shows that not all wishes can be fulfilled.
It's just that Lin Tuo never knew what this judging mechanism was.
Thinking of this, Lin Tuo first touched his consciousness to those "gray" and "unsatisfying" wishes, and tried to read the content randomly:
"I want to have endless wealth."
"I want to be the most powerful person on the planet."
"I want to live an endless life, to stay young forever."
"I want the ability to make a wish and be fulfilled at any time."
……
Lin Tuo's mind was immersed in a dark torrent, and one after another wishes flowed in front of his eyes.
A significant number of them are duplicates.
After flipping through for a while, Lin Tuo found that most of the wishes were big and vain? And some of them are more detailed? But it is also classified as unsatisfying.
Retracting his gaze, he immersed his consciousness in a torrent of wishes that could be satisfied:
"I want a new car."
"I want a million dollars to settle the debt."
"I want to be young and beautiful."
"I want to get rid of the disease? Get healthy. ”
……
Lin Tuo raised his eyebrows? Do you find this part of the desire specific and subtle, and varied? Generally more practical, most of them are related to the material, human condition.
"Is it really a rule?"
Lin Tuo tried to summarize the rules? But for a while, I couldn't figure out a clear result.
"Do you want to try casting a spell? See the effect? ”
Lin Tuo's mind turned lightly? It was decided to pass these wishes to take a concrete test.
So, he began to pick and choose, first removing part of the dark side of human nature in his wishes...... How many of these desires are there? Such as wishing for the death of a specific person? Such as forcibly appropriating the opposite sex, such as covering up traces of crime......
The list is breathtaking.
Immediately, he eliminated some of the desires that might cause social harm...... Even if the requests don't reveal overt malice and can only last one night? But it can still be harmful.
In the end, he set his sights on the remaining relatively harmless wishes? and try to "agree".
When he operates on the bottom of the candlestick? The broken pattern lit up slightly, and Lin Tuo was surprised to find? The prayer candle seems to be trying in some unknown way? Drawing aether from the spirit realm? to consume.
It's just that it is probably limited to the degree of damage, or the need for wishes, far less than the original devouring and pouring out, but a little trickle.
Immediately, in the quiet study, on the delicate and simple candlestick, the candle flame began to shake again and again.
Every time he trembled, a faint aura was opened, enveloping the entire sand table.
……
Huaguo, it's late at night.
In an old residential building, most of the windows are pitch black, and only a few are still lit.
In a dim window, a middle-aged woman who had just put her toddler to sleep came out tiredly, glanced at her husband who was snoring loudly in the bedroom, and walked from the narrow aisle to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast......
The house was small, there was no living room, the kitchen was cramped and cluttered, the old wall skin was partially peeling off, there were traces of water seepage, and the leather-covered stove was lined with miscellaneous items, and when the wok was lifted, it gave off a disgusting smell of oil.
The woman pressed her forehead with the back of her hand, sighed softly, and then skillfully and numbly began to sweep and clean up, carefully and slightly.
The door, the wall was too thin, the sound was a little loud in the night, after a while, finally cleaned up, she looked out towards the old wooden frame, a little dirty balcony window, the field of vision was pitch black, a strong loneliness poured into her heart.
She wiped her hands, picked up her phone to look at the time, and then clicked on the group chat, flipping through the messages she hadn't had time to read.
After a while, she saw someone talking about the topic of making a wish on the spirit net, her expression changed, and then she suddenly had a whim, put down her mobile phone, folded her hands, closed her eyes, and said in a low and hoarse voice, as if with emotion:
"Mystic spirit, listen to me: I want a new house, bigger, with a living room, a clean kitchen, and a dishwasher......"
Her voice was low, and there was no reverence in her tone, more of a thought than a dream.
However, in the next second, an aura that ordinary people could not perceive spread from the sky and swept over the old buildings.
The woman opened her eyes, then laughed self-deprecatingly, yawned, and prepared to go to bed.
But then, she suddenly heard a slight noise, a flower in front of her eyes, and a slight shake under her feet.
She tried to hold on to the wall, but was surprised to find that the whole room was being turned upside down!
The small space is stretched out to become spacious and bright, the old wall skin is replaced by beautiful and bright wallpaper, and the leather floor underfoot is replaced by a softly reflective mahogany......
When I turned my head, the narrow kitchen had become neat and orderly, everything was neatly arranged, and a huge dishwasher took over the entire view.
"Ahh She exclaimed.
The husband and children in the room were also woken up, looking blankly at the unfamiliar surroundings, their eyes full of dullness.
……
The night was dark.
Somewhere in another city, a young blind man carefully rolled over, fumbled his slippers, and expertly walked to the bathroom like a normal person.
After a while, he returned and carefully climbed into bed, but he couldn't sleep, he picked up his phone, pressed it, and then poked and poked in the fast-paced mechanical sound, entered the chat software, and began to "listen" to the chat history.
The voice was too fast for ordinary people to understand, but he still felt it was too slow, and whenever he read a picture from a group chat, an annoying "unrecognizable" voice would come out.
Eventually, he overheard a discussion about wishes, and the group asked each other if they had been fulfilled, but without exception, none of the wishes were answered.
Some people are calm, some people are lost, and some people question the authenticity of the activities of the spirit net......
After a pause, he knocked on the screen, paused his reading, and then was in a daze for a while, and then spoke softly, and said hopelessly:
"Mysterious spirit, listen to me: I wish I could see the world with my own eyes, just one glance."
After saying that, the room was still calm and nothing had changed, he sighed, put his phone aside, closed his eyes, and retracted to prepare for bed, but was suddenly alarmed by the sound outside the window.
He subconsciously turned his head to "look" over, and then his eyes were pierced by a beam of light swept by the car outside the window.
He sighed, turned his head away, and then suddenly froze, the whole person jumped up like a spring, regardless of the discomfort in his eyes, his eyes widened, staring at the window under the moonlight, and the whole person was completely stunned.
After a few seconds, he suddenly shouted loudly, which caused his parents to wake up from their slumber, and in a panic he pushed open the door, and saw the young man in the room with wide teary eyes, and looked over:
"I ...... I see it! ”
……
The other side of the globe.
It was just dark, and the curly-haired boy Rory hurriedly ate dinner, ran back to the bedroom with the sighs of his parents, and then looked at the required time in his home country, and took out a notebook from his school bag without giving up.
Lying on the bed, turning the pages full of wishes, he cleared his throat and said:
"Mysterious spirit, listen to me: I want a robot to help me with my homework."
"Mystic spirit, listen to me: I want a car that can be transformed."
"Mysterious spirit, listen to me: I will ......"
After reading a few pages, there was a knock on the door, and then it was pushed open, revealing the mother's helpless face: "Rory......"
"Mom, I'm busy, please don't disturb me, okay?"
The mother took a deep breath, held her forehead, reluctantly withdrew, and said solemnly to her husband at the table:
"Your son is crazy."
The husband coughed, subconsciously pressed the long wish list folded in his pocket with his hand, and agreed:
"I think so."
As they spoke, the husband and wife heard Rory's muffled voice coming from the door:
"Mystic Spirit...... I want a sister who is so cute that it explodes. ”
In the next second, an invisible aura flickered, and a baby-faced girl suddenly appeared on the empty chair next to the dining table.
Very small, wearing a princess dress, the moment she appeared, she glanced at the bewildered man opposite, and smiled sweetly:
"Daddy."
Turning his head, he looked at the woman like a wood carving: "Mom." ”
After a brief silence, the woman suddenly hugged her head, pulled her long chestnut hair, screamed, turned and kicked the door of Luori's room, and shouted:
"Rory! What do you see?! ”
……
Off the mountain.
In the quiet room, the candle flame in Lin Tuo's hand continued to ripple round and round.
Drawing on the ether from the spirit world, in a mysterious way, one wish after another is granted.
