PS: Thank you to the students of "Tea Book, Listen to Yuxuan Xuanyuan" for rewarding 20,100 little red flowers, and I hereby add more

Sunlight shines through the window and into the room.

Chen Xing, who was sleeping on the sofa, frowned and gradually woke up. He opened his eyes and looked around blankly.

What catches your eye is a familiar room, wallpaper with flying cherry blossom petals, a tripod piano next to the bed, light green floral curtains, small round tables and chairs, cheap printed oil paintings hanging on the walls, antique plywood wall clocks......

Last night's dream was so real that when he woke up, he still couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a reality. He even doubted that the self in the dream was the real self, and now, it was just a dream for him.

He sat on the couch and looked out the window at the small building. A middle-aged woman in pajamas was drying clothes on the rooftop, with a cigarette in her mouth, her movements were very casual and a little bohemian.

Over time, the sluggish mind gradually recovers. He grabbed his hair and thought for a long time, finally clearing his thoughts.

Last night, he dreamed of his past self. But the memory was very vague, as if everything in the dream was covered with a layer of fog, and only the outline could be seen clearly and muffled voices could be heard.

When I woke up, there were only two pieces of information that I could remember clearly.

The fire in Raven City, the time in the black table.

Dr2616-3-12, it was his second year of joining the Thunder Light Regiment, and the place he was located was supposed to be a bar in a post town.

Oddly enough, he doesn't have a deep memory of the fire in Raven City. He is just a low-level mercenary with no relatives, no friends, and no related interests in Raven City. For him, it was just a piece of news that he had accidentally seen many years ago, and he would not take it to heart at all.

But he remembered it, and after many years, he could still dream clearly, which was a bit beyond the norm. But then again, things that involve the subconscious are difficult for even science to explain.

Normally, there are two kinds of memory, one is "conscious memory", that is, human beings actively remember something or something through subjective consciousness; The other is "unconscious memory", also known as "subconscious memory", which is the memory of human beings involuntarily and unconsciously. For example, when a child learns a language, it is a kind of non-active, instinctive memory. In addition, there are lifestyle habits, interpersonal interactions, etc., which will produce unconscious memories.

The only explanation is that he inadvertently jotted down the information and returned in the form of a dream years later.

Subsequently, the memories of the Raven City fire were like a key that opened up other related memories.

He recalled that Su Xuefei had told him that the reason why their mother and daughter left Raven City was because of a sudden fire that burned down the industry they had accumulated over the years.

She said that the mother and daughter were very lucky to be able to escape. Millions of people died in the fire, burned to charcoals, and half of Raven City burned to the ground.

Then Chen Xing remembered that the crow market in later generations was not called this name, but "crow market".

As the memories unfold, a new doubt gradually surfaced.

There is no cause of the fire in his memory. It stands to reason that this is a thing that shocked everyone in the Red Kingdom, and it is one of the four major cities of the Red Dragon Principality, but he thought about it so much that his head hurt, and he didn't think of any relevant clues.

It's as if the fire was for no reason. Or rather, everyone chose to remain silent.

He thought about it for a while, but he didn't have a clue, so he didn't think about it anymore.

Although it is a little strange to dream of such a thing, in the end, it still has nothing to do with him. Even though he was in Raven City now, the fire was three years later. Three years later, he was probably already enjoying life in Thousand Sails Harbor, or he was dying in some corner.

He grabbed his hair and wanted to get up and wash, but at this moment, he found a strange movement in the spiritual sea, and immediately gathered his mind and sank his mind into the spiritual sea.

The personal realm is the projection of psionic energy in consciousness and is closely related to the ontology. The slightest disturbance will be immediately noticed.

So, what is the personal realm, and how exactly did it come to be?

To explain this, we must first explain psionic and spiritual bodies.

Psionic energy is explained by scholars in Ivory City as "a special kind of biological energy". Broadly speaking, it is the same as electrical energy and thermal energy, both of which are a type of energy, which exists in large quantities in the void.

In a narrow sense, psionic energy is fundamentally different from electrical and thermal energy. It is a kind of bioenergy that is closely related to life. Any living thing, flowers, trees, snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds, animals, from the beginning of life, will produce spiritual energy.

Psionic energy is the carrier of the spirit of the creature, and the shell is the carrier of psionic energy. Its form is close to what people call "soul", but it is not exactly.

In the process of synthesizing psionic energy, living beings will be branded with the life mark of the main body. At the end of life, these psionic energies are attracted to each other due to the common imprint of life, forming a polymer that scholars call "spirits".

Tend to be the more powerful the creature, the stronger the psionic aggregate will be.

But spirits are not souls and cannot develop sustainably. Because after the end of life, it is impossible to synthesize new psionic energy with the imprint of life. This process is like the hematopoietic function of mammals, which loses the replenished spirit body and can only gradually dissipate into the void, turning into pure spiritual energy without lifeless marks.

When the spiritual energy in the body reaches a certain density, human beings can "see" their own spiritual body, which is the personal realm.

Chen Xing's consciousness entered the spiritual sea, and he soon found that there was a seventh rune suspended in the sky. It is translucent, looming, and has a weak sense of presence.

As soon as he came into contact, a large amount of information poured into his mind, and Chen Xing immediately understood its function.

He named this ability "Memory Backtracking". Under the tutelage of some kind of opportunity, the memories in the subconscious will reappear in the dream.

This rune is located on the side and back of the "Hazard Perception", close to each other, like two playing cards, and seems to be an extension of the Hazard Perception.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Xing fell into a new round of contemplation.

If memory regression is an extended ability to perceive danger, then it means that the appearance of dreams is a sign of danger.

In his previous life, he had seen a lot of information about danger perception to understand his own abilities.

Abilities such as hazard perception are classified as "prophetic". By perceiving the operation laws of all things, we can predict the short-term future of a certain time and space, so as to avoid dangers.

If it weren't for this ability, Chen Xing, whose own attributes were not high, and who was doing a high-risk profession like a mercenary, would have hardly lived in this cruel world for fifteen years.

So, what is the direct or indirect relationship between the fire in Raven City and him?

This question is so huge that it is impossible to think about it, Chen Xing thought about it for ten minutes and gave up completely.

That's it, life and death are mandated by heaven......

He was a human being, and although he has always cherished life, he has never felt how precious he is, and he has to be what he should be.

Thinking like this, Chen Xing happily went into the bathroom to wash up, and then went down to eat breakfast.
