The water level of the underground river has remained at that position and has not changed. There are some dark shadows floating in the river.

The others, including the mad beggar, were quiet, while the others cried out, "Help! There's something in the water! Help me! ...... "Because of the struggle, his body could not balance, and he choked and coughed again.

Aoki watched all this coldly, and continued to think about the details of this criminal plan.

"Are you the main designer of this plan, or is it your master Dewar? But I guess you're very busy, so let the medicine woman manage the cave? Because the medicine woman is already engaged in human trafficking, you can go around looking for some people who are suitable to help you sell drugs. It just so happens that Yao Po has a certain reputation in the eyes of the local people, and she naturally has the ability to dream clearly, so your master took her as an apprentice and taught her some skills of pretending to be gods and ghosts. ”

"But I still can't figure it out, neither you nor your master can construct such a powerful underlying space rule, and overlap with the real space to a certain extent, so that everyone who enters the cave enters the same dream space. How do you do that? ”

After listening to Aoki's analysis, Cuckoo laughed: "You are so smart, you are really a genius!" Unfortunately, no matter how smart you are, it won't work, and you will end up like them. ”

At this time, the water level of the underground river began to slowly recede.

An empty cage creaked open on the edge of the cliff.

"This cage is for you." Cuckoo said.

Aoki felt an invisible force envelop his body and enter the cage. He didn't resist, as if he had walked in on his own. He needs to slowly explore the rules of this space, what is unique about it in addition to simulating the rules of space in the real world.

"You think such an iron cage will keep me in place?"

"Knowing that the power that trapped you comes from the entire space, not this cage, why bother asking?" The cuckoo looked very confident, "You can try to see if you can escape." Ah, I really want to see how long it takes for someone as strong as you to be locked up before he goes completely crazy! ”

The water had receded completely, so shallow that you could see the rocks at the bottom of the river.

"You're only a part of this dream, aren't you afraid you'll be trapped in it too?" Aoki said.

Cuckoo smiled: "Don't worry about me, if you don't master the laws here, how can I trap you?" ”

"So, are you acknowledging that this place was neither created by you nor by your master? So can you tell me, what the hell is this place? I can't escape anyway, at least let me be a ghost! ”

"The ghost? No, it won't. Don't worry, I won't let you die. With such a handsome and strong man as you, how could I be willing to let you die! The cuckoo fell from the rock wall, her long white hair retracted, and she returned to her coquettish appearance in the small wooden building, "When you lose your sense of self, I will take you out." ”

"I'll give you a haircut, change your clothes, and get dressed up. I think you must be very handsome and handsome like that! ”

"I'm not going to let you go to a beggar who sells drugs. I'm going to take you back to Masuba and plant a seed in your consciousness to make you fall in love with me! ”

She stepped barefoot in the river and walked to Aoki's cage, "A powerful awakened person has a seed of love for me in his consciousness, and he is proud to be my subordinate all his life, no matter what I ask him to do, he is willing, ah~~ It's exciting to think about it!" ”

When he heard that he was going to get a haircut and change clothes, Aoki had a funny expression on his face: "You're crazy!" A woman shouldn't be so arrogant. ”

The cuckoo laughed: "Can't I be crazy? Well, I might as well tell you that this is my territory, and even my master is no more familiar with the rules than I am, because I was the first to discover this place. It was also in this place that I met Situ for the first time. ”

When she talked about Situ, she looked intoxicated.

"Situ? Why is it Situ again? Could it be that he made this place out of the way? Aoki asked.

"Of course not!" "But he helped me activate this place when I was thirteen years old. You won't understand how excited I was at the time! That's when I realized that there was something more fascinating in the world than poppies. ”

The expression on her face was as shy as a girl in love.

"Thirteen years old!" Aoki was puzzled by the woman's mature age, "So you just wanted to seduce Situ at that time?" ”

Cuckoo had a stunned expression: "That's right, it's a pity that he was unmoved." ”

"But weren't you supposed to be in Burma and Vietnam when you were thirteen? Isn't your master Dewar from there? ”

"Yes, but Master often brings me to China, otherwise how do you think I can speak Mandarin?"

Aoki nodded, looked at the endless cage on the bank of the river, and asked, "How many people have you killed?" ”

"I don't know about this, everyone was brought by my unlucky senior sister." "But drug trafficking through this line only started after Muka returned, and in less than two years, it didn't hurt many people." ”

"You don't seem to be interested in drugs." Aoki said.

The cuckoo said, "What is there to be interested in, I am a living poppy!" ”

While they were still chatting, the water level of the underground river began to rise again.

"Huh? It's not right today, it's a little early. The cuckoo seemed to feel a little strange, "Forget it, I'll go first, you can stay here slowly." ”

"But I want to remind you that my senior sister is dead, and you lure the police over again, and no one will bring you food these days." The cuckoo smiled slyly, and stepped back as he spoke, "The water of this underground river is drinkable, there are fish in the water, and there are sometimes rats, snakes, or other animals crawling in the hole, and if you can catch them, you won't go hungry." ”

As the cuckoo's figure faded away, the light in the cave dimmed until it fell into darkness.

Aoki tried to shake the iron bar of the cage with his hand, and it was so strong that he didn't even make a sound.

Nothing could be seen in the darkness, only the feet could feel the coldness of the underground river. The water level was rising, and the chilling sensation was spreading up the legs.

Aoki carefully felt what was happening to him. All this is not only the rule of this dream, but also the feeling that one's real body obtains. So, what kind of environment is the real body in now?

The river overflowed his waist, then slowly over his chest and neck. He felt a chill in his jaw, then his nose.

Instead of throwing his head up and desperately trying to breathe in the air like the other people in the cage, he allowed himself to be immersed in the water, revealing only the messy hair.

He knew that consciousness would not drown.
