That ice and snow world is reckless and vast, and there is no end in sight.

Aoki didn't know how much spiritual power it needed to pass through the dream barrier to enter the forbidden area. He was eager to give it a try and see what was there. But he knew that Hong Zhenlong's mental state couldn't support his dream for long, his dream was the only way to connect with that world, and if Aoki entered the forbidden area and Hong Zhenlong exited the dream, then the situation would become very complicated. Aoki would most likely be trapped in that space and couldn't find his way back.

He couldn't take that risk until he was sure.

However, there is one thing that Aoki doesn't quite understand - since the shadow is already in Hong Zhenlong's dream, why don't you go in directly, instead of forcing Hong Zhenlong to break through that barrier?

Aoki had wanted to communicate with the shadow for a while, to study the characteristics of the race like Lester did.

However, the shadow seemed to see his intentions and suddenly lunged towards Aoki.

Aoki felt a surging burst of spiritual power, the same as the power that suddenly erupted when Hong Zhenlong was tied to the restraint belt and became ill. At the same time, Hong Zhenlong's proprioceptive consciousness also pounced towards Aoki and burst out with the same power.

The two Hong Zhenlongs, just like the doppelganger technique, even the movements are exactly the same. Aoki knew that this was because the shadow had become one with Hong Zhenlong and influenced each other, and when the shadow had the intention of killing Aoki, Hong Zhenlong's ontological consciousness also had such thoughts.

In this dream, Aoki, as an alien invader, poses a great threat to space. If he hadn't suppressed it with his powerful spiritual power, Hong Zhenlong would have pounced like a tiger whose territory had been violated, and of course the result would only cause this space to collapse.

The reason why the shadow was able to influence Hong Zhenlong was also because Hong Zhenlong himself had similar thoughts. It's like the shadow makes Hong Zhenlong angry and rushes to the forbidden area, that is the true thought that Hong Zhenlong has suppressed in his heart for a long time, the more forbidden the place, the more he wants to go in and see, but because of the ancestors' legacy and the fear of the unknown, his curiosity is temporarily suppressed.

The two erupting Hong Zhenlong pounced at the same time, if it was just an ordinary person, he had been torn apart by the violent spiritual power at this time.

Aoki shook his head slightly, the shadow was left alone for the time being, but Hong Zhenlong would suffer a great loss of his own spirit like this, and his consciousness would also be damaged. Fortunately, the shadow has not fully grown up yet, otherwise Aoki would not be able to tell who is real and who is fake, so he would have to withdraw from the dream.

He raised his hand slightly, and the speed of Hong Zhenlong and his shadow slowed down, as if they were rushing into water, and the movement became slow motion.

The air in the dream space was slowly solidifying, and little by little something like crystal ice crystals could be seen appearing in mid-air. The movements of the two Hong Zhenlong became slower and slower, and finally stopped. Ridges of ice around them could be seen reflecting the sunlight, and a space about the size of a room was turned to ice, and the two figures were twisted like ancient creatures frozen in transparent amber.

Aoki stepped forward and stretched out a hand to gently push the part of the ice where the shadow was located, and the half of the ice fell down, shattering into tiny particles, and a small shadow of Hong Zhenlong could be seen in each ice particle.

The real Hong Zhenlong is still in the ice.

A red sun appeared in the sky, close enough to be reached, and under the strong sunlight, the ice began to melt, turning into a puddle of water, and the ice particles on the ground had long since disappeared.

Hong Zhenlong stood on the ground again.

Strangely, the scorching sun did not melt the snow on the ground, and under the bright light, there was no shadow of him.

This kind of dream rules are completely different from the dream world that Hong Zhenlong himself constructed, as if you set up a tent in the snow and live in it and turn it into a cave.

Hong Zhenlong stood there in astonishment, and suddenly collapsed, convulsing like a sheep's madness.

Aoki knew that his mental power was too much and his body had reached its limit, and he had to be let out of the dream. But Hong Zhenlong's strength at this time could no longer wake up, and he could only struggle like a nightmare.

Aoki preemptively exited the dream, and saw Hong Zhenlong on the bed with stiff muscles, straightened up, and salivating at the corners of his mouth, as if he was about to die.

Hong Kui didn't know what was going on, and shouted, "Father, what's wrong with you? Father! ”

Aoki walked over and took away the two hands that the old man had pressed against his chest, and then helped the old man up.

Hong Zhenlong's body trembled, opened his eyes leisurely, looked around, and then said to Aoki: "Thank you." ”

Aoki put the old man down and said, "Okay, you won't have nightmares again in the short term." ”

Hong Zhenlong was already in poor health, and his mental state at the moment was even worse. Aoki hypnotized him again and said to Hong Kui, "Your father needs to rest, and no one should disturb him until he wakes up naturally." ”

Hong Kui arranged for the servants to serve well, and when Hong Zhenlong was completely asleep, he left the bedroom with Aoki.

At this time, the sunset is in red, and the whole sunset scene can be seen from the floor-to-ceiling glass in the lobby of the villa.

Hong Kyu invited Aoki to dinner while enjoying the sunset.

The North American bigwigs didn't put on a grand show, and the dinner consisted of just three simple dishes: yellow onion steak, Alaskan halibut and a Chinese-style lettuce soup. The dishes are simple but very delicate, and they will make people very appetizing at first sight.

When Aoki ate, he unconsciously remembered the coal boss, and felt that this foodie was actually quite pitiful, staying in Liuying Lane all day long, in addition to the dishes made by his life, he also ate a small restaurant on the street. Aoki thought that in the future, he would still have to take him out more, and if he had more food, he wouldn't be pestering his life flowers all day to make sauce elbows. But he was afraid that the taste of crows would be more difficult to serve.

During the meal, Hong Kui smiled and said to Aoki: "What my father said is true, our family's estate is no smaller than any other family in the United States. ”

Aoki said, "Your father wants to clear his name, why don't you just go into politics?" You look at the Kennedys and the Bushes, and now Tronp. ”

"My father once said that politicians, like the underworld, are rats in the sewers and spread the plague," Hong said. ”

Aoki says, "The sewer is not dirty because of rats, but rats because it is dirty." ”

"But the presence of sewers at least makes human society look bright and clean on the surface," Hong said. Isn't that what people want? Half of the darkness can get the other half of the light, and half of the filth can make the other half clean, isn't this what the Chinese often say is one yin and one yang? ”

Aoki looked at Hong Kui suspiciously: "What do you want to say?" ”

Hong Kui said: "What I want to say is, you really don't think about inheriting the family business? ”

Aoki felt that Hong Kui didn't feel like he was testing himself as a competitor, and said strangely: "It stands to reason that you should be the most opposed to me joining the ranks of heirs, doesn't one more heir mean that you have one less inheritance?" ”

Hong Kui smiled: "You are wrong, the heir of the family does not have all the inheritance alone, he is just a manager, just like the patriarch of the ancient family." The family's assets are shared by the whole family, and we will do our best to cultivate the talents of the family, and if it were not for the fact that the Chinese would never have been able to obtain the corresponding political status in North America, we would have entered politics long ago. ”

"Even that doesn't justify your welcome to me. Power is more enticing than money, isn't it? ”

"You're right, these are not reasons. The real reason is that I don't want to be the heir to the family at all. "I used to be proud to be chosen as the heir, but since I entered the forbidden land of my dreams, I have suddenly lost interest in this worldly fame and fortune. ”

"You've been in the Forbidden Land?" Aoki exclaimed.
