By this time, everything had returned to its original state, and there were no more formidable iron fences blocking the road, and the smell of ethereal gloom permeated the corners. I looked left and right, but I couldn't see Patel's shadow, he was gone.

I anxiously searched for Patel, wondering if he was haunted in his dreams, and that the surroundings must not be good. So the worse the environment, the more it attracted me to move forward. Sure enough, I finally caught a glimpse of him in a disgusting little mecca, and the scene around this small mezzanine was hard to see, and the lines were unusually messy and chaotic, just like his brain's thinking.

At the moment, Patel was still running like a storm, and I hurried after him.

"What are you looking for?"

He was so focused on himself that he didn't pay any attention to me.

I followed his gaze into the distance, and a young woman with a very beautiful and slender back was holding a pair of little boys and girls of the same age on the left and right, strolling in the distance without hurry. They appear and disappear from time to time, and they walk like they are walking like flowing water, which is very soothing. I could see at a glance that it was Patel's wife and his young twin children, because Chari had shown me a photo of the family before the simulation.

At this moment, even though his wife and children's steps were so small and slow, Patel could not catch up with them. There seemed to be an insurmountable gulf between Patel and that beautiful young mother.

"Stop blindly chasing after them, these are useless actions!" I knew that in the illusory nightmare, no matter how persistent Patel tried, even if he chased the sky, he still couldn't catch up with his beloved wife and children. Because there must be some ulterior secret among them, like the magpie bridge of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl that can never be connected.

I tried to hold Patel, but he shook my hand so hard that I almost slipped.

At this time, all of Patel's mind was focused on finding a way to chase after his wife. If you try to stop him by force, it will definitely backfire, and you have to go with the flow to turn the situation around. So I pretended to be confident, and said, "I am afraid that we will not be able to continue the chase like this, for they must be playing a cat-and-mouse game with us, and we can do the opposite." If we suddenly turn around and run in the opposite direction by surprise, it is very likely to arouse their curiosity and attention, and confuse their judgment. Do you think this is possible? "Actually, this idea is not the best idea, but I can't think of a more effective way to keep Patel at bay.

But I never expected that Patel really believed it, and immediately turned his head in a daze and said, "Really?!" Then let's give it a try. ”

It was too late, and Patel had already turned around and turned in the opposite direction. He's changing so fast that I can't keep up. I think it's probably because Patel has been chasing for quite some time and is exhausted, so he had to, and willingly adopted, my advice.

Patel was panting heavily, and his running speed slowed significantly, and it was obvious that he was too tired to move. After only a few steps, Patel and I turned our heads in unison, and I was really worried that my haphazard plan would be self-defeating, and if Patel's wife continued to go her own way, and if she was still going her own way, then I really couldn't do anything. But God finally favored me once. The moment we look back, everything we see instantly turns into a raging fire, and the flying fireworks crackle and shout, as if to announce that everything has settled. And the woman------ Patel's wife, was about to turn around and show her beauty, but she was devoured by the fire of the prairie fire.

I didn't even think about it, but I knew that this ending was expected. Reuniting with loved ones in this dreamscape is a rare thing, and it must be a luxury to be close to family members so easily that we are far from finding the source of the secret. But Patel couldn't accept this reality, and the physical exertion combined with mental torture caused him to fall straight to the concrete floor. I leaned down in regret, trying to wake him up as best I could. At this juncture, suddenly everything around us spun around me at a rapid pace, and I knew that we were about to leave the simulated space and return to the real world.

I opened my eyes and let out a long breath, in fact, it is quite good to get rid of the invasion of nightmares and return to the bright real world. Patel also woke up, but his eyes were glazed, and there was a tender and grief-stricken thought in his eyes, which made people feel sad as well.

This time the dream exploration was over, but the Abbot of Arthas and Chari still sat in their seats, and they were both staring at me nervously, hoping to get something unexpected and good from me, but I didn't know where to start, and after thinking for a long time, I squeezed a sentence out of my teeth: "Patel's nightmare is so sad and sad that I am in turmoil." ”

The second scenario was supposed to be in full swing, but I was utterly hopeless about the inquiry. Patel's scribbled and weird, extraordinary nightmare world, the more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became. I don't have the confidence or the determination to get involved again. I have been hesitant and indecisive in the past few days, and Patel's sins are not superficial, and if my sins are tied again, it is as if I have sunk into an abyss from which I will never recover. After the last experiment, I have come to realize that for a small person like me, there is no ability to climb up, let alone push Patel's soul out of the deep well. I fear that if I go into Patel's nightmare again, I might also fall into it, and become a big madman who confuses right and wrong.

For several nights, I was engulfed in obsessive nightmares, and today was no exception. As soon as I fell asleep, I was haunted by a series of nightmares. Suddenly, my eyes widened, and in the midst of such a desolate corpse strewn across the field, there was a delicate gambling table, and at the table sat a bewitching and gorgeous girl. She turned a blind eye to everything around her, just smiling intently at me, still fiddling with a delicate deck of playing cards in her hand.

"Come with me." The girl spoke, smiling languidly, clearly close to me.

But I didn't pay attention to her, and stared at the table in front of me.

The bewitching girl noticed my eyes, so she squinted and said, "Do you want to gamble?" That's not fun, it's going to be a loss. ”

"Maybe not necessarily......," I druffled, my tone soft and hard.

"I dare to pack the ticket, you will definitely lose badly. Which one would you choose between 99, 9999% or 0·0001%?! It's a ridiculously simple question, you don't have to think twice to guess the answer, it must be the former! There was a scornful sneer on the girl's lips.

"Not necessarily, I'd rather choose the latter!" I said stubbornly.

"In that case, well, let's take a gamble. It seems that you can only be convinced if you are defeated. The girl sat up straight on her toes and began to shuffle the cards slowly. Her face was suddenly filled with unstoppable pride.

But in less than a minute, the ghostly situation changed dramatically, the bewitching girl who was shuffling the cards and the gambling table beside her drifted away like a wisp of black smoke from a frivolous ghost fire, and the same position was replaced by a girl with a pink face. I recognized this man at a glance. Isn't this the little girl I met earlier on the edge of the camp of the Fearless Sect who was serving by the old monk's side!

She looked at me and said with a shy smile: "I agree with your choice very much, and I support you very much." Even if you can predict the future trend, there is still hope for change, so you must not be discouraged. Weighing the pros and cons doesn't work in everything, sometimes whether things turn out to be successful or unsuccessful, you have tried and experienced it, and that's the most important thing. Even if it ends up failing, you have a clear conscience. ”

"But my good friend's life is pinched in the palm of my hand all the time, I really don't dare to take this risk!"

"I understand your thoughts, but blindly cringe, looking forward and backward, but will miss the opportunity, lose everything, it is better to let go of the fight to be happy, so that you will not have regrets for life."

"You have a point. But if you can show the way, you can do more with less. "I'm still hoping for a shortcut.

"Oh, then you're looking down on me. In fact, the development of any thing has its two sides, even the king Lao Tzu outside the clouds only knows one of them, does not know the other, so you can only rely on yourself in everything, there is no shortcut, just the so-called personal river to know the depth......"

"Only when you taste pears can you know the sweetness and sourness."

"Yes, it's the same old saying."

"I know what you mean, you have to do it, so that even if you fail, I don't think my friends will blame me."

"That's right!"

We opened our eyes and looked around in a trance, only to realize that this was another dream within a dream! I knew that whether it was the gods telling me in a dream, or the silent dialogue between me and my other self through the psychedelic illusion of dreams, they were all teaching me earnestly. No matter what you do, don't be overly inferior or overconfident, but never forget the word bravery.

After this unquiet night, I am more mature and steady, and I am more composed. I have made up my mind that whether I go up the sword mountain or go down to the sea of fire, I must not be afraid of my hands and feet, and I must do it myself. In doing so, even if you are defeated, you will still be victorious!
