In the entire Xia family manor now, only Aoki can trust Mei Yiqiu, and the only people who can make Aoki trust are Hu Xing, Xia and the poppy beauty who came to play.

After returning from Professor Mei's laboratory, Aoki began to unconsciously investigate the mental condition of the people around him and even the people he met on the street, and if he had the chance, he entered their dreams to take a look, but he did not find a single suspicious shadow. However, it is also in line with their reasoning that the preferred targets of these extraterrestrial life forms are the best of humanity - those who wield actual power, wealth, and technology, and ordinary people seem to be safe for now.

However, the people of the Xia family are completely different. Since they chose Xia Wenyuan as their target, and they couldn't take Xia Wenyuan in a short period of time, they had no reason not to fight the ideas of the people around Xia Wenyuan. Among these people, Xia Wenyuan's wife, two sons, as well as personal doctors and bodyguards are definitely the first targets.

Aoki's intuition is that there is nothing wrong with Wu Lixia, but it is only an intuition and not reliable.

So in the end, at Mei Yiqiu's strong request, Wu Lixia and Peter both left Xia Wenyuan's study. Wu Lixia was not worried about Xia Wenyuan, and hoped that a relative would take care of him by his side, and after obtaining Aoki's consent, she called Hu Xing, who was playing with the children, over.

In this way, there were only four people left in the study: Xia Wenyuan, Mei Yiqiu, Aoki and Hu Xing.

Xia Wenyuan said, "Professor, now you can say it, right?" ”

Mei Yiqiu shook her head and said, "Not yet." He looked at Aoki, "Can you take care of his shadow a little more, if you don't die, you will be half dead." ”

"You can try." Aoki looked at Xia Wenyuan and said.

"Hey, take me." Hu Xing didn't know when Aoki would start hypnosis, and hurriedly said.

Aoki asked Xia Wenyuan to close his eyes and rest, then looked at Hu Xing and asked, "How has the practice of lucid dreaming progressed recently?" ”

Hu Xing said: "I have already felt a little bit of how to wake up, but I am not proficient, and I mainly rely on the alarm clock." ”

"What about the control of dreams?"

"I can control some of my behaviors, but not completely, and I feel tired and powerless."

"That's right." Aoki said, "Your mental power has grown a lot. ”

Hu Xing said, "Really? Can you see it this way? ”

Aoki said, "Of course, you can try to feel your grandfather's brain waves now. ”

"Brain waves? How is this possible? Hu Xing felt incredible, and when she looked at Xia Wenyuan, she found that Xia Wenyuan was already asleep, but her eyes were not moving, "My grandfather hasn't dreamed yet, right?" ”

"He's already dreaming, you have to feel his brain waves when he is dreaming, that's the only way you can get into someone else's dream." Aoki smiled and said, "Today is a lesson for you." ”

"Really?" Hu Xing was a little unconvinced, "How do you feel?" ”

"With your mental powers, of course." Aoki said.

Hu Xing tried to feel it with mental power.

In fact, she still doesn't quite understand what mental power is, but after constantly practicing lucid dreaming, the power of her consciousness in the dream realm is indeed growing, and the space of the dream realm is also expanding.

She had never thought that she could use her mental power while awake, but she did feel some peculiar fluctuations in the space around her that were invisible to the naked eye.

She began to focus on Xia Wenyuan's body, staring at his head. But Xia Wenyuan slept extremely peacefully, and no information came out of his body.

"Nope!" Hu Xing was a little frustrated, "Is it because my mental strength is still not strong enough?" ”

"You feel it again, remember to relax, don't be nervous." Aoki encouraged.

Hu Xing nodded, and began to adjust his breathing, trying to relax his whole body. At this time, she suddenly felt a relatively strong fluctuation, like a fish suddenly surfaced, bubbling there, rippling layer upon layer.

However, this fluctuation of blisters and water ripples did not come from Xia Wenyuan's head, but appeared out of thin air in the void in front of Hu Xing, and the position was a little erratic, touching it for a while, and becoming out of reach for a while.

"Ah, I see!" Hu Xing suddenly shouted, "I'm already in a dream!" ”

Under her startle, Xia Wenyuan and Mei Yiqiu in front of her turned into two blurred fog shadows, the four walls of the study suddenly went black, and then the black shadows around her quickly compressed to the middle. Hu Xing knew that his dream space had collapsed, and he wanted to keep it, but there was no way to keep it.

Aoki reached out and pulled Hu Xing, who desperately grabbed Aoki's arm like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw, and then, she felt herself being pulled out of a dark space all at once.

She saw the white walls around her, and there was nothing but a white ceiling light on the ceiling. She and Aoki sat on a spotless bed, the blankets on the bed neatly folded.

"Is this your dream or mine?" Hu Xing asked, "This is definitely not my grandfather's dream. ”

"How can you be sure?" Aoki said.

"This is your room, and my grandfather has never entered your room, so of course it is impossible to dream of it."

Hu Xing said confidently, touched the clean sheets with the palm of her hand, and suddenly saw a puddle of water stains on the sheets, which seemed to be steaming.

Her heart suddenly rose to her throat and thumped. While Aoki wasn't paying attention, she hurriedly moved her buttocks, blocking Aoki's vision with her body, covering her hot face with both hands, and she didn't know if the person's face would be red in the dream.

Aoki said, "You can feel your grandfather's brainwaves again now." ”

Seeing that Aoki didn't seem to notice her abnormality, Hu Xing secretly glanced at the sheets again, and found that the puddle of water stains was slowly drying, and she was relieved when she knew that it was completely gone.

She tried to relax her mind, adjust her breathing, and use her mental strength to feel her surroundings.

The bubbles and ripples that had been disturbed by a fish appeared in the void, this time closer. Hu Xing concentrated, and the ripples in the circle became clear, and finally turned into a deep black area, like a black hole in an unknown space.

This black hole has a great gravitational pull that attracts apricots. She felt like it was a door to another plane that she could walk into. As soon as this thought came to her mind, her body went straight to the door. She stepped softly inside, and after a dark darkness she saw the light again.

Then, she saw a reservoir, very similar to the one outside the Xia family manor, but the surrounding mountains were not the same. The water in the reservoir is also much cleaner and clearer, almost rivaling the water quality of Silferat's Fissure in Iceland's Þingvellir National Park.

Looking at the past from the perspective of Hu Xing, you can see the panoramic view of the reservoir, like a huge sapphire inlaid in the green mountain forest, just like an aerial photograph; You can also see a close-up view of the reservoir, and you can see every fish swimming in the water clearly.

This kind of scattered perspective effect like Chinese painting can only be seen in dreams, and since entering the lucid dream, Hu Xing has extremely suspected that the origin of Chinese painting is to paint dreams.

Xia Wenyuan sat quietly on the shore fishing, and his reflection could be clearly seen in the water, as quiet as him.
