I am a swordsman, my swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, I am always dueling with all kinds of masters, and I have never lost a single one, so I have a high reputation in the martial arts, but I have always had a real and weird feeling, I actually feel that I am not from this world!

This feeling seems to have been with me for as long as I can remember, although my martial arts are strong, it is difficult to integrate into this world, I am looking for my own world every day, but I don't know where it is?

In order to stay away from the crowd, I live in a place with few people, but fortunately I am not lonely, because my wife Sun Xiaoling has always been with me, she is a famous lady in a green house who sells her art but not her body, we hit it off a year ago, and then we became husband and wife.

We set up a hut in the sparsely populated countryside with a fence around it, and every once in a while a vegetable vendor would pass by and supply food to my house. Sun Xiaoling is only responsible for cooking and running the house, and I am responsible for the source of life, I am one of the masters in the martial arts who can rely on martial arts to eat, because I am famous, and almost everyone in the martial arts wants to beat me and become famous, so every time I compete with me, I have to let the opponent make a satisfactory bet before I am willing to do it. If I lose, my life will be given to him; If I win, the bet will be mine.

The fact that I'm still alive means that I win every time, and at the same time I've gotten a lot of money and become a rich reclusive man, but I never kill, just point.

Although fame and fortune have been gained, the feeling of 'I don't belong in this world' has become stronger and stronger, which makes me more and more depressed, like a child who has lost his land.

Until one day a master appeared, which made my heart move.

Her name is Wu Yue, and she is a master of using hidden weapons, which is nothing special. What excites me is her weapon, the weapon she uses to launch the hidden weapon is very small, it can be held with one hand, and every time she launches the hidden weapon, it will be accompanied by a sound similar to the firecracker', the hidden weapon shot out is fast, accurate, and ruthless, even the masters of the Tang Sect who are used to using hidden weapons have never seen this kind of thing, which is unique to Wu Yue, Wu Yue declared to the entire martial arts that this kind of thing is called 'gun'.

I have the impression that the gun is a long, two-handed weapon, and it is unlikely that this long weapon will be mixed with a concealed weapon. And when I learned that Wu Yue had a 'gun' in his hand that could fire hidden weapons, I had a sense of familiarity that I hadn't seen for a long time, and I thought that if I could see this kind of 'gun' with my own eyes, maybe I would be able to think of something? So I decided to go to Wu Yue.

What I didn't expect was that I hadn't gone to her yet, but she gave me a letter of challenge, and the bet was very rich, and she made an appointment to compete tomorrow in the small bamboo forest next to my house, which made me ask for it. Actually, for me, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's important to look at her weapons.

At this time, my wife, Sun Xiaoling, was sitting next to me in a light-colored gauze dress, her expression was full of sorrow, and it could be seen that she had no confidence in my tomorrow's competition. She had never been worried about my previous competition, maybe it was a fear of the unknown.

The next day, the sun was shining all over the earth, everything was full of life, but the bamboo forest outside my house was full of murderous energy, and I knew that Wu Yue was coming.

I came to the bamboo forest with a sword with a scabbard, and a woman in a long purple dress was smiling at me, and her smile was grim.

It is undeniable that she, like my wife, is also an extremely beautiful woman, and it is no wonder that her life is like a legend. And I have a similar feeling about her, as if she doesn't belong in our world either.

She laughed, "I knew you wanted to see my weapons, so I came to you." ”

I didn't expect her to know what I was thinking, so I took the opportunity to say, "That's right, if you don't mind, show your weapon." "I'm looking forward to it.

And she laughed again, laughing unscrupulously: "Can't be bright, as soon as I light up, you will not be far from death, this weapon is something you are familiar with, but you have forgotten it now, it's ridiculous, you like this dream so much, I can let you live in the dream for a while." ”

She actually said that I was familiar with this weapon, and it seems that my previous feelings were not delusional! But her words made me feel inexplicable, why did she say things like 'you like this dream so much', what did that mean?

I asked, "What exactly are you talking about?" ”

She suddenly stopped smiling, and looked at me very seriously: "Hey, you've been in a dream for too long, and you don't seem to remember anything, so let me send you back!" ”

After saying that, she took out her legendary weapon, this weapon was completely black, and it was really small, and she held it in her hand just right, but although I had that familiar feeling, I still had no clue, only felt hazy.

At this moment, she was pointing her weapon at me, and I felt like she was holding an arrow in her hand, full of threat at all times.

I was about to deal with it, but my wife, Sun Xiaoling, ran out of the house and shouted at me, "Be careful of her secret weapon." ”

I waved to Sun Xiaoling: "Go back to the house, it's dangerous here." ”

After saying that, something strange happened!

Wu Yue, who was on the other side, seemed to be very angry when he heard our conversation, only to hear Wu Yue say angrily: "Wang Xuan, you care so much about a person in a dream, but you can't remember me at all, so what am I, let me give her a ride first." ”

Wang Xuan is my name, and Wu Yue's words are like a jealous woman angry at me, this is really ridiculous, I don't know Wu Yue at all, why would she say such things?

Wu Yue's movements were too fast, and the thing she was holding in her hand suddenly made a firecracker sound, and then I didn't see anything, and Sun Xiaoling's heart spurted blood, and then Sun Xiaoling fell to the ground, it seemed that she had been hit by Wu Yue's hidden weapon.

I was stunned for a moment, Wu Yue's secret weapon was really amazingly fast, which surprised me and made me angry at the same time.

Obviously it was my competition with her, but she attacked my wife, this kind of disregard for the rules of the rivers and lakes made me angry, I pulled out the sword at once, and used the sword as a hidden weapon to use the internal force to move the sword to Wu Yue, with a sword qi, the speed of the flying sword is extremely fast, I dare to guarantee that people with weaker skills will definitely die under my flying sword immediately, but no matter how fast the flying sword is, it is not faster than Wu Yue's hidden weapon.

She gave me two loud firecrackers with the weapon in her hand, and it looked like there should have been two hidden weapons, my sword was cut off by her first hidden weapon in the air, and my chest was hit by her second hidden weapon.

I knew that I had already lost, and the moment she killed Sun Xiaoling, I knew that I was going to lose, because I had never seen such a fast secret weapon!

At the moment, I was barely lucky enough to survive my short life, but I knew I was going to die soon, and I muttered, "Hurry, too fast, I've never seen such a fast secret weapon." ”

Wu Yue sneered: "Of course it's fast, this is a weapon made in the future, not understandable in your time, and you don't know that you are trapped in a dream now, I killed you and your wife, in fact, I was saving you." ”

I said to myself: "Dream, dream......" Just as my consciousness was about to disappear, I understood everything in an instant as if I had returned to the light......

Yes, I am not a person of this era at all, I remember that I was in a dream, it seems that I am stuck in a dream and cannot extricate myself, in fact, the era I really live in is the 22nd century, and all this is the result of my creation.

I was an inventor of that era, invented a dream machine, and I worked with a well-known game company with the intention of mass production. I need to test the effect before production, only I am familiar with the operation of the dream machine, I decided to test it myself, the interesting thing is that the dream machine I invented can enter the same dream world in pairs, so I took my wife Sun Xiaoling to test it together!

Sun Xiaoling is indeed my real wife in the 22nd century, the strange thing is that I don't know Wu Yue, and I can't take Wu Yue into a dream, where did she come from, why did she come to save us?

The saddest thing is that even if I am shot by Wu Yue and die from this dream, I probably won't really wake up, because this dream of the swordsman is just a dream within a dream......

2.

After I died, I went back to the previous dream, I gradually became conscious, and when I opened my eyes, I was being tied to a pillar in a dark room!

At this moment, I was covered with wounds all over my body, and a heart-rending pain spread throughout my body. This dark room is not big, and besides me, there are four strong men, and they are responsible for the execution of me.

As soon as I woke up, they found me, and I heard them excitedly say, "This guy has been faint for almost a day, and now he finally wakes up." Then the four of them laughed a few times, and a man wearing a peaked cap and a plaid shirt began to whip me again: "Tell me, where did you hide Miss Sun?" ”

The old wounds were not healed, and new ones were added, and I endured the pain, regretting my decision to test the Dream Maker myself.

Here's the whole thing.

In the reality of the 22nd century, my wife and I decided to experiment with a dream machine together, and we entered a dream world set in the old Shanghai era, and we were both very interested in this era and wanted to experience it. I set myself up as a rich boy, and Sun Xiaoling set myself up as a famous dancer in Shanghai. When we enter the dream, we are so excited that we are so excited that we are engaged in our role.

Fortunately, in the twenty-second century, Sun Xiaoling is also a star, and her singing and dancing skills are very exquisite, so on the stage of this dream, she performed very well and won countless applause. I take my men down to the big Shanghai dance hall every day to watch Sun Xiaoling's performance, in the dream of old Shanghai, my identity is not her husband, just a son-in-law who admires her.

However, during the test, I found that one problem is that I can't control the other people in the dream, they have their own consciousness and activities, and Sun Xiaoling and I are just two characters in the dream.

Since this is the case, it will inevitably cause some disputes like the real world, and then something happened!

Due to my frequent contact with Sun Xiaoling in my dreams, this behavior angered a gang boss, because this gang boss fell in love with Sun Xiaoling.

At first, I thought it was ridiculous and didn't care, but then the boss sent people to constantly threaten me and let me leave Sun Xiaoling, and I felt that something was serious. In this dream, if we want to return to reality, we have to die in the dream, and I am afraid that if I am controlled by these gangsters, and I can't die, it will be troublesome.

After a few days, in order to avoid these troubles, I decided to take Sun Xiaoling out of my dream.

On this day, Sun Xiaoling finished dancing and finished work as usual, I drove her to a suburb, and after stopping the car, I planned to shoot her in the car to make her dream, and then I shot myself again. Unexpectedly, when I picked up the gun and pointed it at her, she screamed: "Ah, what are you doing? ”

Her horrified expression was as if I was really killing her, did she forget that I was taking her out of her dream? I hurriedly asked: "Are you too deep into the play, we are now experimenting with a dream machine, I shot you to death, just to take you out of your dreams, what are you afraid of?" ”

She waved her hands: "No, no, I don't understand what you're saying, don't kill me, don't kill me." As soon as she opened the car door, turned around and ran, I froze, and when I was about to shoot, I found that she was gone.

Unexpectedly, this dream had such an impact on her, she seemed to be stuck in the dream and forgot who she was......

According to the setting of my dream machine, our real time and dreams are different, in real day, in the first layer of dreams is a year, and we have only lived in the dream for a few months, and she sank into the dream.

It seems that this Dream Machine is not as simple as a game, its authenticity has too much impact on people, at this time, I already have an idea of destroying the Dream Machine, so as not to harm more people.

Of course, I had to find Sun Xiaoling immediately to let her dream, and now that she is gone, I have to go back to her the next day.

But the next day, Sun Xiaoling disappeared, and I was anxious to find her. But no, on the road, I was suddenly hit in the back of the head, and I fainted......

3.

After that, I was kidnapped by these gangsters, and what I feared happened!

They suspected that I had hidden Sun Xiaoling, tied me to a pillar in a dark room, tortured me constantly, and forced me to ask about Sun Xiaoling's whereabouts.

But the pain of being beaten was so real that I couldn't stand the torture, so I had to activate another emergency setting of the Dream Maker, intending to enter a deeper dream to escape temporarily.

Due to the lack of technology, this dream machine can only rely on death to dream, which is also a disadvantage of this dream machine. If we forcibly pull the thread connecting the dream-maker to us, it may make us trapped in a dream forever, and I have repeatedly told people in reality that they must not do this, so there is an emergency setting.

This emergency setting is a last resort, that is, once I encounter this helpless situation in my dream, I can use my consciousness to constantly prompt the dreamer to send a distress signal, and the staff in reality can help us when they see the distress signal, and operate the dreamer to let us enter a deeper dream.

Luckily, I taught the 22nd century group of merchants how to operate the machine, and there was no way to avoid suffering. Now I regret that my wife and I came to experiment with this imperfect dream machine......

After I successfully called for help, as soon as the emergency setting was activated, my wife and I both entered a deeper ancient dream, that is, the dream that I was a swordsman and my wife was a famous lady of the Qinglou. As for the identity of the second layer of the Ancient Dream Realm, I had already set it up in the machine before I experimented with the Dream Maker.

After entering the second layer of dreams, the disadvantages were even more exposed, and because the time of the dream was inconsistent with reality, even I was lost.

The setting of this dream machine is that one day in the twenty-second century is equivalent to one year of the first dream, and one day of the first dream is equivalent to a hundred years of the second dream, and if there is still a chance to enter the third dream, the time will be so on.

When I entered the second layer of dreams, I forgot that I was dreaming because of the impact of the surrounding environment and people, and I was lost in the dream, if it wasn't for that Wu Yue to save me, I am afraid that I would still be dreaming with my wife in ancient times!

……

Now, I have returned to the dream of the first layer of Shanghai Beach and continue to suffer, I have finally come back from the dream of the second layer of ancient times, and I must not fall back into it. So at this time, no matter how these four strong men tortured me, I endured it, and no longer sent out a distress signal, just looking for a chance to escape!

At this time, a man with a dark expression said to me: "You are really persistent, for the sake of a woman, you don't even want your life." ”

I said weakly: "I really don't know where Sun Xiaoling is, even I'm looking for her, how can I know where she is?" ”

"Hmph, who believes?" After saying that, the whip of the man in the cap hit me again.

In fact, I could have bitten my tongue and killed myself, but I didn't dare to use this trick, first, I was not sure that I would die in this way; Second, I still have to find Sun Xiaoling.

In view of this, I can only endure torture, which is a nightmare.

Of course, miracles still happen!

Just as I was holding back the pain, suddenly, the door of the dark room was kicked open, and I, the housekeeper of my dream, broke in with some thugs and guns.

They quickly brought the four strong men under control, and I was glad that I had set myself up as a rich boy and that someone had come to my rescue. Then my housekeeper untied my rope and helped me out of the black house, and to my surprise, I walked out of the black room and came to the road, where I saw Sun Xiaoling, who was standing next to my car.

It can be guessed that the housekeeper should have driven my car and brought them with him, Sun Xiaoling was wearing a blue cheongsam at this time, which looked particularly charming.

I was overjoyed and hurriedly sent the housekeeper away, and then I dragged my scarred body and drove my own car to take Sun Xiaoling away.

In the car, Sun Xiaoling looked at me who was covered with injuries and cried sadly: "Wang Xuan, I hurt you and made you suffer." I knew they had kidnapped you, so I hurried to inform your butler, and if I hadn't fainted for almost a day in the middle of the journey, we would have arrived long ago. ”

I know that Sun Xiaoling is still trapped in a dream, I don't know that I am dreaming, she has been faint for almost a day, and she has entered that ancient dream like me.

I don't dare to shoot her directly now, for fear of scaring her again and letting her run away, so I have to find the right time to do it. At this time, I was very cooperative with her and said: "I don't blame you, I'm afraid those people will catch up after a while, we have to leave Shanghai quickly." ”

Sun Xiaoling nodded, and suddenly asked, "Why did you hold a gun at me that day?" ”

She wouldn't understand the current state of the problem, so I had to vaguely tell her that I was a little delirious that day.

I drove quickly out of the city and into a secluded suburb, where I thought it was best to do it. So I stopped the car, Sun Xiaoling looked at me suspiciously, and I quietly touched a small pistol that was usually hidden under the seat!

But at this moment, a person suddenly appeared in front of my car, and I instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

4.

This person is Wu Yue, I didn't expect her to come to this dream of mine again, she looks the same as in ancient times, but she is dressed differently.

She was wearing a white shirt at this time, a striped vest on the outside, and a pair of coffee-colored pants underneath, slightly showing the petty bourgeois literary temperament of this era, while she was holding a gun in her hand and pointing it at us!

I stared at her and said, "I didn't think you'd come again." ”

She sneered: "You still remember me, it's really rare, I thought you forgot that you were dreaming again!" ”

Sun Xiaoling nervously asked me, "Who is she?" ”

Before I could speak, Wu Yue fired a shot at Sun Xiaoling, and the bullet hit Sun Xiaoling directly through the front window of the car, and Sun Xiaoling died on the spot. If I forget that I am in a dream, I am afraid that I will start to get excited again when I encounter this kind of scene, but now I want to thank Wu Yue for helping me send Sun Xiaoling out of the dream.

I breathed a sigh, wondering why Wu Yue knew that we were dreaming, this dream machine I invented can only provide two people to dream, I have already brought Sun Xiaoling, it is impossible to take Wu Yue into a dream again, who is she?

So I asked, "Who the hell are you?" ”

She didn't speak, she just shot me, and when the shot rang out, I was instantly dead......

I woke up, I finally woke up, and now I'm in a room in this game company, and there are some high-level executives standing next to me, and although I haven't lived in the 22nd century for less than a day, I've been living in my dreams for a long time, and my memories are so complicated that I feel like an old man who has gone through all the vicissitudes of life.

These high-level executives were very excited when they saw me wake up, and one of them asked, "Dr. Wang Xuan, how is the effect of the test?" ”

I quickly unplugged the thread that connected me and my wife, and at the moment I just wanted to destroy this dream machine, which had too much effect on people, and could make people addicted to dreams, or they could make people suffer in dreams. But I can't destroy the Dream Maker right away, the executives of the company standing next to me are a bunch of philistine businessmen, and if I do, they will definitely stop me.

So I said coldly: "It's not good, this machine still needs to be improved, I'll take it back and upgrade it." "I'm going to destroy this machine when I bring it back.

At this time, I called my wife home, but I didn't expect that my wife Sun Xiaoling was still in a coma, I yelled 'not good', and quickly probed her snort and found that she was still breathing, could it be that she sank too deep in her dream and couldn't come back?

Without much thought, I quickly put the dreamer back into a small box, carried the box in my hand, and then quickly ran out of the room with my wife on my back.

Soon I took the elevator downstairs and there was my solar-powered flying car parked outside the company, which was a product of this era, and I put my wife in the car and drove to a nearby hospital.

I just had to type my destination on the computer in the car, and the car would drive automatically, and since the dreamer was so small, it was easy to destroy it, and on the way to the hospital, I smashed the dreamer in the car, and I was relieved that it couldn't hurt people anymore.

When I arrived at the hospital, I sent my wife to the emergency room, and in this era, there are intelligent robots everywhere serving humans, including the guides and cleaners in the hospital, so the whole hospital seems to be very efficient.

Now my wife is in the emergency room, I have to stand outside the door and wait, looking at these robots coming and going, I sigh in my heart: high technology has brought a lot of convenience to people, but it has also contributed to the inertia of human beings, human beings are more and more dependent on machines, thus becoming slaves of machines little by little. The Dream Machine also verified this fact, and people who are under the control of the Dream Machine will only learn to escape and sink. Although the dreamer was destroyed by me, who can guarantee that there will be someone like me who is also inventing the dreamer? It seems that people are getting wiser and wiser, but less and less wise......

While I kept sighing, I also remembered that Wu Yue, she has always been a mysterious figure, who is she and why did she appear in my dreams?

I was anxiously pacing back and forth outside the door of the emergency room, things in the world are really coincidental, I was thinking about Wu Yue's affairs in my heart, she actually appeared in front of me at once, I looked up and saw her, almost frightened to the ground.

Her appearance has not changed, only her clothes have changed, and she is standing in front of me in a dress that suits the atmosphere of our time.

I managed to calm myself down and asked, "You reappeared, who are you, and why did you appear in my dreams twice?" ”

Instead of speaking, she took out a gun and pointed it at me, as in a dream.

I broke out in a cold sweat, I've come back to reality, I'll die if she shoots, what does she want to do, does she want to kill me?

I said angrily, "You're crazy, I'm not in a dream anymore, what the hell do you want to do?" "I tried to snatch her gun.

She quickly took two steps back and said loudly, "Don't move! ”

I was afraid that she would mess around, so I had to stop moving.

She smiled weirdly: "Since you want to know who I am so much, then I will tell you that I am actually your real wife, and you are still dreaming." ”

"What?" Her words undoubtedly sent me a bolt from the blue, "How is this possible?" ”

I couldn't believe her words, I remember it very clearly, how could the world that felt so real still be a dream?

"In our time, dreamers were as common as game consoles," she says. Sadly, you are a person who is addicted to dream machines, and you have forgotten that you are dreaming, so in reality, you are a 'dream addict' sufferer. You and I are a couple, and I don't want to see you indulge in dreams all day long, so I also borrowed your dream machine to sleep with you to save you. You've been through so much in your dreams, and I hope you wake up and understand my painstaking feelings. Before I could reply, she shot me in the chest.

I clutched my bleeding chest and looked at her with complicated eyes as my consciousness blurred. I pray she's not a psychopath, and I hope what she says is true so that I don't die. I just don't know, if I wake up again, will the world there still be a dream?
