300, the mystery of the Holy Land
The appearance of the alliance logo made Aoki excited.
He gently stroked the rock and probed it with his mental powers, expecting that there would be mysterious handwriting on the stone, writing the history of the Alliance, which could provide him with a little information to retrieve his memories, or that there was a secret passage under the stone that connected to another dimension.
But he was disappointed.
Stones are just stones, symbols are just symbols, there is no writing, no secret doors, and no passage to another space.
In Aoki's memory, he had never been to the desert. However, he felt something familiar, as if he had been here before.
He thought about it carefully, and his head hurt, as if ten thousand ants had crawled into it. The pain was connected to his body, not just a simulation of consciousness. It shows that his subconscious mind is constantly releasing energy in his brain to search for memories at the moment, but his nervous system is warning himself not to do such useless work!
Is this the Holy Land of Awakening that the Guardian Fang said?
From the perspective of spatial perception, this is a dream-like place, but it is more realistic than ordinary people's dreams, a bit like real-life dreams. But Aoki did not find a conscious subject in this space. This is a bit unreasonable, it stands to reason that without the subject of consciousness, there would be no spiritual support, and then this space should have collapsed a long time ago.
But this space is so stable! There are only two possibilities that can make a space behave so steadily without mental support.
The first possibility is that it is in the middle of a space, and there are many more stable spaces around it, like a beehive.
The second possibility is that it is not just an illusory dream, but a real one. It has a counterpart in reality, and someone has created a huge real-life dream with powerful spiritual power, just like the pig cage cave that Aoki encountered in southern Yunnan.
But this desert is obviously much bigger than that cave.
Aoki remembered Matake Kitano. In that cave, Kitano left the symbol of the Alliance, and later Dewar also confirmed that Kitano was a member of the Alliance of the Awoken. The alliance should be not the only one in the alliance who has mastered the method of creating this kind of real-life group dream, and this desert may be made by a certain master, or a group of masters together.
Aoki prefers the latter over the two guesses. Of course, it may also be that both exist at the same time, which is a real-life dream space and is in the gap between other spaces.
If so, then his current location is likely to be on some desert on Earth, and at the same time on the edge of some other mysterious universe.
It seems that in order to solve the mystery of this "holy place", it is necessary to find the corresponding place in reality.
But there are so many deserts on the earth, and the terrain of each desert is similar, where will this correspond to the Sahara? Taklamakan ? Or Arab?
It's time to make up for geography class, Aoki thought.
He surveyed the nearby terrain and noted down the locations of some large sand hills and exposed rocks, wondering if he would be able to find them when he went back. It's a pity that the consciousness space can't be photographed, otherwise you will find an expert to know it at a glance.
Although it is certain that this is the holy place mentioned by the Emperor, Aoki does not know what this space means, after all, switching between different spaces may cause changes in time and space. Fortunately, this space seems to correspond to the three-dimensional reality of reality, and it is connected by the dream corridor, so it should not be staggered in time with your own real space.
But he didn't dare to stay long, who knows what will happen when he stays here for a long time.
As soon as his mind moved, something like the hourglass of time appeared in front of him, and when he injected spiritual power, the hourglass spun at a rapid speed, and soon formed a black hole, like a dark door.
This time, I'm much more proficient than before, and I guess next time, I can make the corridor appear directly with a single thought.
He entered the door, and the deep, long hallway appeared in front of him.
When the old lady said the key, what exactly did she mean by this corridor? Or is the key hidden in the desert at the end of the hallway?
If it is the former, then it can be confirmed that the desert is an awakening holy land. If the latter is the case, then the holy place is elsewhere.
At the beginning, the parasitic consciousness invaded Yao's mother, an ordinary person, probably for this dream corridor, or the desert at the end of the corridor.
But how did they know that the "key" was in Yao's mother's brain?
The more Aoki thought about it, the more complicated it became, so he simply ignored it. With another thought, he walked out of the dream corridor. This time, he didn't go back to the place where he met with Ji Yifang, obviously the space had collapsed, but Yao's mother's dream was still there, so he returned to the place where the crow and the white cat were.
The crow and the white cat no longer face each other in tension. The spiritual power of both sides has been put away, probably because the place guarded by the white cat no longer exists.
The cat stood there and meowed into the void, its sapphire eyes revealing infinite sadness.
The crow comforted beside him: "Hey, don't be sad, it doesn't matter if your home is gone, you can come and live with me for a while." Do you know, our place is good, downstairs is the bar, every day is very lively, you can sing, drink, chat, put my sister uh is not talking about me, I am not interested in sister! Those women who have you so white"
When the cat saw Aoki come out, it screamed even harder, and there was even a little resentment in its eyes.
Aoki used his mental power to communicate with the cat, and the cat lowered its head.
The crow stroked the fur on the cat's back with its wings and said to Aoki, "Oh you're back, I was just about to tell you that her name has been chosen, and she is called Ruxue." Well, yes, Ruxue, how do you hear the name? Isn't it nice! Oh my God, how talented I am! We can't call her Xiaobai, that's too cheesy. If you want to express white, you can use many methods, such as flour, lime, etc., but such a metaphor is not good enough, and I think of snow, snow in winter, oh so beautiful, so apt! Ruxue, you think it's a good name, don't you? ”
The cat didn't roll its eyes this time, and it seemed that it had acquiesced to the name. But Aoki knew that the reason why she didn't object was because she probably had that name in the first place.
"You're so smart." Aoki praised, "How about giving you the job of 'naming' our studio in the future?" ”
The crow raised his head proudly very much, and then suddenly came to his senses and said, "Ahem what is that, it's better for you to do business, you know that a genius like me will never bend his waist for five buckets of rice." I chose the name because "
He glanced at the white cat next to him, "It's because I have love in my heart that I can come up with such a wonderful name." If you don't have love in your heart, you can't come up with a nice name. Like snow - like snow——, you listen, when I call this name, every sound is full of love"
Suddenly, the cat rolled its eyes again.
