Although the crow is sometimes unreliable, Aoki knows that it never drops its chain at critical moments. In terms of mental power, that cat may not be weaker than the crow, but the crow has been in the battlefield and love field for a long time, and this bird has more than a special ability of strong mental power, plus its mouth that can grind the flower of its life to a temperless, it should not be difficult to stabilize the white cat.

Aoki stepped into the dark realm with peace of mind.

After a brief period of nothingness, a depression suddenly opened up in front of me, with a few crops planted in the sparse past, and a few low-slung houses next to it, which looked like rural houses from decades ago.

Aoki remembered that he had seen this place in Yao's mother's dream when he first entered it. This is supposed to be Yao's mother's hometown, where she lived with her grandmother when she was a child.

In the distance, it was foggy and difficult to see clearly, but the doors of the houses were open. Aoki stepped over the depression and walked directly into the house.

There was a woman sitting in the room, wearing a rich blue cheongsam, with a beautiful face and graceful bearing.

Aoki felt familiar, and carefully distinguished, and found that this woman's appearance was somewhat similar to Yao Jingjing, but it was obviously not Yao Jingjing, nor Yao's mother. Moreover, there is a trace of residual spiritual power in this woman's body, that is to say, she is not dreamed of by Yao's mother, but a consciousness body with independent consciousness like that cat. It's just that the remnants of her consciousness are very weak, not as strong as the cat.

"You're finally here." The woman said.

Aoki was stunned and said, "You know I'm coming?" ”

The woman said, "Somebody will come, either you or someone else." ”

Aoki said, "Since you already knew that someone was coming, and you had been waiting, why did you let the cat stay outside and not let people in." ”

The woman said, "Only by breaking through the protection of the white cat is the one I am waiting for." ”

Aoki seemed to understand something and said, "That cat was tamed by you?" ”

The woman nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"You're an old lady, aren't you?" Aoki remembered that Yao's mother had said that their surname was Jiajia, and that they were surnamed her grandmother, and now this dream should be Jiajia Village.

"Old lady?" The woman was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Yes, yes, I should have thought that I would wait until you came, I am already very old, maybe my granddaughter is already old!" ”

She laughed for a while, and then said: "My name is Jiayifang, and the Jiazhou family left me this one, and it will be decided to come to me." I have to guard this little thing that my ancestors watched, and now that you're here, I can go. ”

Aoki asked, "What are you guarding?" ”

Ji Yifang smiled: "I can't tell you yet, because I don't know if you are the person I am waiting for, and I have to test you again." ”

"What to test?"

"What do you see what this is?"

As soon as the young lady raised her hand, a transparent triangular pyramid appeared in the void.

Aoki didn't know what it meant, and looked at it in a daze, always feeling weird.

The triangular pyramid rotates slowly, radiating circles of energy at its apex, forming a plane, like a rippling surface of water.

Then, this layer of water is like a mirror, with a triangular pyramid reflected on it, which is connected to the vertices of the triangular pyramid below, forming a symmetrical mirror image.

Aoki immediately thought of the logo of the Alliance of the Awoken. He had seen the triangle with the two vertices connected more than once, but it was the first time he had seen such a three-dimensional picture.

"Alliance of the Awoken?"

He was a little excited, and couldn't help but use his mental power to gently touch the two triangular pyramids.

I don't know if there is a difference between the upper and lower floors, the triangular pyramid on the top is much darker than the color below, the one below is transparent, and the one on the top has a little golden yellow.

However, Aoki soon discovered that the golden yellow was not the true color of the triangular pyramid, but that the triangular pyramid above it was filled with fine yellow sand.

Po –

Stimulated by his spiritual power, there was a slight energy fluctuation, and the vertices where the two triangular pyramids were connected collapsed, and a small hole appeared, and the yellow sand in the upper cone began to rustle into the cone below, forming a thin vertical line.

Aoki was stunned, wasn't this the hourglass model of time that Professor Mei had discussed with him?

There is less and less sand inside the upper triangular pyramid and more and more sand inside the triangular pyramid below. When the amount of sand below exceeded the above, the energy of the plane where the two cones were connected fluctuated more and more, and it didn't take long for the two cones to twist and switch places.

The triangular pyramid with more sand ran to the top, and the less went to the bottom, and the sand continued to flow from the top to the bottom.

Of course, this is in a dream, and there is no real gravity in the dream space, and the so-called up and down here is just a concept, but visually, Aoki sees this as such, a bit like a delicate mechanism, which is affected by buoyancy and turns upside down when the power contrast between the two ends changes.

It's like throwing a half-filled gourd into the water, the heavy part is definitely underneath, and the empty part floats on the surface. But if there is a mechanism that pumps water from the inside of the gourd and pumps the water from the lower part to the upper part, then when the weight of the upper part exceeds the lower part, the hoist will turn upside down.

After the two triangular pyramids are reversed, because they are different from the beginning, the triangular pyramids at the bottom are empty at the beginning, and at this moment there is sand in both cones, but the upper one is more, so the sand flows for a long time, and the amount of sand below exceeds the above, and the two cones are reversed again.

In this way, the two triangular pyramids kept reversing, and the time for conversion became shorter and shorter, until at last they became like windmills, and they kept spinning and turning there.

Perpetual motion machines?

Aoki knew that it would not be difficult to create such an effect in a dream, because the dream space did not follow the physical laws of the real world. But if there is no such memory, how can such a thing be created in a dream?

Who is this young and beautiful old lady?

"You're from the Alliance?" He asked.

Ji Yifang smiled and nodded: "You're here, I can finally go." ”

Aoki found that the old lady's residual mental power was weakening, so he hurriedly used his mental power to protect her and asked, "Wait, what are you waiting for me to do?" What exactly is hidden here? ”

"You don't know? ”

Aoki shook his head, he really didn't know.

"Then you can ask, but I may not be able to answer." I'm just a remnant of my own consciousness, and I've left a little memory and obsession in my granddaughter's consciousness, and I can't tell you all about it. ”

Aoki knew that what the old lady was saying was right, that when the old lady was dying (maybe earlier), she used some magical method to strip her consciousness a little bit and seal it in a dream space for her granddaughter, Yao's mother. Therefore, this part of Yao's mother's memory cannot be retrieved, because this dream space did not collapse at all, but was hidden and became a dark area.

"What are you hiding here?" He asked.

"This is a key that our family has guarded for generations."

"Keys? What key? ”

"The key to the Holy Land."

"What holy place?"

"Awakening Sanctuary."

"What is the Awakening Sanctuary?"
