Chapter 3: Dreams? Reality? (below)
As the night deepened, it suddenly began to rain in the sky, which gradually washed away the blood on King Cheng's body and woke him up.
"Tina."
Listening to King Cheng's murmur, Tina nodded with tears in her eyes, "I'm here." ”
"We ...... Let's cremate Claire and Yulan. ”
In this way, King Cheng held Youlan's corpse, and Tina held Claire's corpse and slowly walked into the crematorium.
……
The next day, after King Cheng and Tina watched Claire and Youlan's bodies being sent to the crematorium one after another, King Cheng even felt like his legs were filled with lead, and he couldn't move, so he still had to rely on Tina's support to reluctantly walk back to the hotel.
That's it, for the next ten days, King Cheng has been in a state of half-asleep, drinking as long as he wakes up, and sleeping when he is drunk, Tina has persuaded many times but it is useless, but no accidents have happened.
Finally, when he was about to reach the goal of completing the mission, suddenly there was a burst of screams from the room where Tina lived next door.
King Cheng was still half-asleep at this time, and he was stunned for a moment, but then his brain began to gradually wake up.
Tina is in danger!
At this time, due to the death of Claire and Youlan, Tina's importance in King Cheng's heart has reached a very important point, so he rushed to the next door like crazy, but what he saw was a woman holding a gun at Tina's head, and after King Cheng rushed in, she had just pulled the trigger!
"Bang!"
The bullet instantly penetrated Tina's eyebrows in King Cheng's desperate eyes, and the next moment, Tina fell to the ground and died!
"No!"
The moment he became a king was already completely crazy. He rushed at a rapid pace. Then he opened the bloodline again, conjured up a large knife, and slashed at the woman. He wants her dead!
At this moment, the woman was frightened by King Cheng, she wanted to escape, but she was not King Cheng's opponent at all, and she was cut down to the ground by King Cheng in a single face!
When King Cheng saw that the woman was on the verge of death by his own knife, he immediately gave up the knife without hesitation, squatted down, began to have red eyes, gritted his teeth, and smashed his fist at the woman.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
But three punches. With a 'click', the woman's head was already smashed to pieces by King Cheng in anger!
Then, King Cheng looked at Tina tremblingly, but at this moment, she had become a pink skeleton......
After sending Tina to the crematorium, King Cheng stood on the street overnight with the ashes of his third daughter, and at noon the next day, the voice of the system came as promised.
"Inception mission complete, teleportation begins."
The dazzling brilliance swallowed King Cheng, but this time his mood was completely different from before. Because he didn't come back alone......
After returning to the main god space, King Cheng suddenly remembered something after getting drunk. He hurriedly looked at the resurrection option on the crystal pillar, but ...... There was no more!
"Lord God, why can't you resurrect them?"
"Resurrection? No one died. ”
The cold voice of the system suddenly sounded.
"How is that possible! Tina, Claire, and Yulan, they, they're all dead! ”
King Cheng roared angrily, but the system slowly spoke.
"No, they don't exist!"
"No, they exist!"
King Cheng roared violently, but the next moment, he was suddenly stunned.
Wait a minute!
Could all this be a dream?!
That's right, it must have been a dream!
Thinking of this, King Cheng suddenly took out the spinning top as if he had found a spiritual pillar again, and wanted to turn it but his hand trembled several times without success, and after succeeding, he found that the spinning top was still spinning for a period of time and the momentum weakened, and finally fell to the ground.
No! It must be a dream...... By the way, it is said in Inception that the person who enters the dream realm does not know when the road appeared there!
Thinking of this, King Cheng carefully recalled every action in the past few days.
Finally, Cheng Wang recalled the night of his first visit, and he found that he couldn't remember a little clearly, and he couldn't remember exactly how he got to the hotel room from the toy store, as if he had teleported...... All he remembered was that he was desperate to come back, and the next moment he appeared in the hotel room, and no matter whether it was Tina, Claire, or Yulan, they no longer had a familiar feeling about them.
Yes, it's a dream!
Thinking of this, King Cheng seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and instantly conjured up a towering building in the main god space, and standing on the top of the building, looking at everything around him, it seemed to be so real, but he firmly believed that no matter Tina, Claire or Youlan, it was impossible to be so weak......
The only explanation is that this is a dream space!
Thinking of this, King Cheng slowly closed his eyes, and then jumped down, the feeling of falling in an instant made him feel extraordinarily real.
"Ahh
With endless anger, King Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and in an instant, he suddenly woke up as if he had just had a nightmare...... Here, it's still a toy store, but the salesperson is gone......
It turned out to be a dream!
Taking a deep breath, King Cheng tried his best to calm his heart, and then an endless joy spread from the bottom of his heart.
Whether it's Tina, Claire, or Youlan, they are all survivors who have experienced so many mission scenarios, even if they face B-class survivors, they can't die so easily, not to mention that those so-called B-class survivors are not opponents at all under their own hands!
Thinking about it, King Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and now, he was back in the toy store again, that is to say, it was still the night of the first day, and the experience of the previous month was just a dream!
After spending half an hour trying not to think about all the scenes in the dream, King Cheng slowly sat up from the chair of the empty toy store, and wanted to reach out and pick up the spinning top in front of him, but when he thought that the spinning top was useless at all, he still didn't stretch out his hand. Walked out slowly.
Walk down the street. King Cheng was extremely puzzled. Who and how did they bring themselves into their dreams? Why don't you kill yourself?
Although he couldn't figure it out, King Cheng slowly walked back to the hotel, because he still wanted to confirm one thing!
Standing in front of the door of the hotel where the third daughter originally lived, King Cheng wanted to reach out and open it several times, but he was afraid that all this was just a dream, Tina, Claire and Youlan were not behind the door at all, everything was just his own fantasy.
Finally, after a few deep breaths. King Cheng finally mustered up his courage, and with a 'pop', the door was slowly pushed open by King Cheng, and the next moment, he really saw three familiar shadows!
Tina, Claire, and Yulan, they're all there!
"Tina, Claire, Yulan......"
King Cheng stood at the door, opened his mouth, and wanted to say a thousand words, but at the end of the day, he just called out the names of the three of them.
"What's wrong with you?"
Claire seemed to notice that something was wrong with Cheng Wang, and immediately got out of bed with a frown and walked over.
Seeing this, Tina also realized that Cheng Wang's situation was not right. hurriedly walked over and said, "It's been a few hours since you went out, and I was worried about whether you would have a problem...... What's going on? ”
King Cheng did not speak. Only after slowly closing the door did he enter the room and lay on the bed without speaking.
This scene made Tina, Claire and Youlan stunned, they had almost never seen King Cheng like this, no matter when, King Cheng was the kind of person who seemed to be hit in their eyes, after all, Tina died at the time, and King Cheng was quickly excited......
But what they didn't know was that last time it was only Tina who killed King Cheng, and this time in the dream, it turned out that Tina, Claire and Youlan all died in front of him one after another, especially King Cheng was very affectionate, and this blow almost made King Cheng collapse.
Lying on the bed, King Cheng tried to calm down the sad emotions in his heart several times, after all, they were all alive, it was enough, but there was no way to alleviate it, until King Cheng suddenly realized something.
Wait a minute!
Could it be that it's still a dream here?!
Thinking of this, King Cheng suddenly jumped to his feet, and then his eyes instantly swept to Tina.
Tina just saw Cheng Wang with a feeling of excessive sadness, and was just about to inquire carefully, when suddenly she saw Cheng Wang jump up from the bed, and then stared at herself as if she was looking for something, she hurriedly spoke.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
King Cheng didn't pay attention to it, although he knew that he couldn't see anything if he saw it so simply, but since the spinning top was useless, how could he tell if it was a dream.
Suddenly, Claire looked at King Cheng deeply, as if she saw something, and suddenly spoke.
"I've found you to be a stranger...... You seem to have gone through something that we haven't experienced. ”
The speaker had no intention of listening, and King Cheng instantly looked at Claire, "You see that?" ”
At this time, Tina and Youlan also heard that something was wrong with King Cheng, after all, the difference of a few hours made King Cheng seem to have changed a lot, and he spoke so impulsively.
"King Cheng, what's wrong with you?"
Tina was in a hurry and hurriedly spoke, but King Cheng ignored it and just stared at Claire without making any other movements.
Seeing this, Claire gently stroked her burgundy hair and slowly spoke.
"You must have been brought into a dream, otherwise it would not have changed so much in just a few hours...... And you're wondering if you're still dreaming. ”
King Cheng looked at Claire deeply, yes, Claire is indeed much smarter than in the dream, but how can he be sure that this is not another dream? After all, there are a lot of dreams in the movie, if you believe it, it will cause some serious consequences, and it will be worth the loss!
Claire shook her head, "I can't prove it for you, because I just have my own mark." ”
As she spoke, Claire took out a pocket watch from her arms, which was the one she saw Claire holding when she entered Inception.
"You asked me what this was for, and I said that you would know the truth by then, so I'll tell you now......"
As she spoke, Claire slowly opened the case of the pocket watch, and then began to twist the clockwork, and after twisting it around, she slowly let go of her hand, and the hands of the pocket watch began to walk.
"Tick, tick, tick......"
In this way, everyone stared at the pocket watch, and after walking for about 5 minutes, the pocket watch suddenly 'clicked' to a stop, and at this time, Claire spoke again.
"This is my mark, it won't stop when I writhe in my dreams."
"Why do you stop when I spin the top in my dreams?"
Listening to Cheng Wang's words, Claire shook her head, "The mark can't be moved by others, if it moves, it's useless, and the spinning top you bought at the toy store will certainly not be useful." ”
King Cheng frowned when he heard this...... It's troublesome, how to determine if it's in a dream, and in the dream, you won't remember how it appeared in the dream, that is to say, if you don't determine whether it's in a dream, you may suddenly enter the dream world and go on in a daze.
"You don't have a marker, but you can recall if your memory has been interrupted, and if not, then it's almost certain that this isn't a dream space."
Hearing Claire's words, King Cheng also knew that there was only this way, and then he closed his eyes and recalled, and after a long time, he finally breathed a deep sigh of relief...... That's right, this is the real world.
Thinking of this, King Cheng nodded deeply, "Anyway, we must be careful of some other team of survivors, after all, although their strength is not good in dreams, they are all B-level." ”
But hearing King Cheng's words, whether it was Tina, Claire, or Youlan, they all showed surprised looks, and Tina hurriedly spoke.
"King Cheng, are you sure you're not wrong? Is the other side strong? ”
King Cheng also realized that something seemed to be wrong at this time, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Claire spoke slowly.
"The ultimate task we heard was: to deal with another team of survivors in 30 days."
King Cheng was stunned...... How is this possible? Solve a team of B-class survivors?
"Maybe it's because you've entered the Dream World Realm before the system prompts."
Tina hurriedly spoke, but King Cheng still didn't understand the situation, but the next moment Claire's words made him understand instantly.
"King Cheng, if the other party's strength is weaker than ours, and they came to this world realm first, and they stayed with the protagonist, then they will definitely let the protagonist help them...... In this way, the other party directly asks the protagonist to help them bring you into the dream, and implant ideas, such as implanted ideas that the other party is very strong, and they enter this task scene later than you, so what will be the result? ”
"Results ......"
Cheng Wang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Claire deeply and slowly spoke, "As a result, I didn't dare to fight them at all when I met them!" ”
Cheng Wang's heart was beating faster when he said this, after all, he didn't expect the other party to be so smart...... (To be continued......)
