Chapter 114: The Mask of the Fungus Man

A diminutive fungus man walked up to me.

"I am your guide. It said, "You should be tired, come with me." ”

I followed in its footsteps without even thinking about it, and many years later, when I think about this scene, I feel as if I have lost the ability to think during this time period.

I don't know where all the mushroom people that were all around just now have gone, and the huge pocket country is like just me and the guide in front of me. I walked barefoot on the white stone path, covered only with the light veil of moss that had just been turned into a moss, and before I had gone far, the light on the patio slowly faded, and night fell.

My guide was silent, and lit the lamp in his hand, and almost at the same time, countless golden, silver, and green lights flickered one after another in the shadows of the trees, and I could not see the other germs holding the lamps, and for a moment I thought they were youkai floating from the ground or something.

Many small sounds filled the air as if they were floating over my head, and I could hear the singing, as if singing the stars shining day after day, and the laughter, falling like silver bells on the golden leaves.

As the night grew thicker, the clouds came out of nowhere, and soon I couldn't see anything but the lights that led me in front of me.

I don't know how long I walked, the clouds in front of me finally dissipated, and a huge tree hole appeared in front of me, I couldn't see the top of the tree, nor could I see the scene around the tree, the lights flooded the whole world like a sea of stars, except for the stars, only me and the tree hole in front of me appeared.

"Let's go check it out. A voice said to me, "There's sweet dreams in it." ”

My actions were completely controlled by the strange lights and sounds, and my legs went into the huge tree hole on their own.

The gold is all over the ground, you can catch it with your hand, all kinds of jewels are scattered around me, there is no shortage of curiosities and exotic toys, no wonder the empress said that there is gold everywhere here, there are so many in a tree hole alone, and other places can be imagined, maybe those golden leaves are made of gold?

"It's all yours," another voice came out of nowhere, "and whatever you can take is yours." ”

If Guan Qing were standing here, he would definitely shout that I don't understand the value of jewelry, right?

But to me, these things don't appeal at all...

The vision suddenly changed, and by the time my mind finally started to spin again, the sight in front of me had become unimaginable.

This is... My home?

Familiar room, familiar table, familiar everything.

It's a home I haven't been back to in years. How did I end up here? By the way, dreams, this is a dream.

"Xiao Ke, come. A pair of hands patted me on the back.

My whole body froze, it was my mother's voice. If this is a dream mirror, it is really a dream that is too real, the touch of the corner of the table, the taste of the food, and the real temperature behind it. I tried several times and finally turned my stiff body around.

"Xiao Ke, come back. She said, "Stop thinking about ghostwriters, come home and be a normal person." ”

I opened my mouth, but I couldn't say anything, and my vocal cords felt like they were choked.

"Child, you have worked too hard, come back, find an ordinary wife, an ordinary job, and don't have to think about things that don't belong to humanity every day. "This time, it became a smiling father, who had never spoken to me in such a gentle tone.

Why do they say this to me in their dreams? The more I think about it, the more strange it becomes, but I can't ask anything.

Why don't I want to go home? Why don't I want to be an ordinary person? Isn't it always my dream to be an ordinary person? to be able to play games with my peers, watch competitions, discuss the girls I like, and not have to worry about being scared all the time, and I don't have to leave home to be an ordinary person.

Yes, I actually feel very nostalgic for home, and I want to go back, I really want to go back.

But... How could it be? How could I just leave the ghostwriter alone?

As soon as I thought of this, my throat suddenly became sound again.

“... Father. "My voice was a little choked.

Tsubaki stood in front of me smiling as she had seen her for the first time. Looking at each other, I think I think of you before I can see you. And what are you thinking about right now?

"Let's go, let's go on a trip. Her pale gray hair was braided into long braids, a white shirt and denim shorts, and if it weren't for her clear blue eyes, she would have looked like an ordinary girl.

How long has it been since I've seen you? How are you? After all, you're because of me...

"Yek, why are you so boring!" she pouted, exactly as she usually did when she was a child, "and didn't say a word, like a nerd." ”

I laughed out loud, and she really made me laugh all the time. It's a dream, so even if you say it, it doesn't matter.

When I thought about it, I was relieved.

"I was so embarrassed when I first met you, and now that I'm traveling alone, I'm still overwhelmed a lot of times. I said.

Tsubaki's eyes were a little confused, "What do you say?"

"Every time I didn't know how to go, you would be there for me in various ways and drive me forward. I touched her head as before, "When I was running away from humans, when I didn't dare to face youkai, when I didn't want to admit that I was timid, and even after I left Tianbei Groceries, you kept appearing in my life." The real you, or the illusory you like now. ”

Tsubaki was about to speak, but I interrupted her, "Listen to me first." ”

She pouted, but nodded.

"You obviously don't have much power, but you always try to protect me, I'm obviously cowardly, but I also want to protect you. I said, "Surely you have had a great time traveling, and I'll take you to the places I read in the books, find a sunny morning, put our bags in a big suitcase, and set off from there." ”

Tsubaki, I'm laughing.

"But not yet, not now. As soon as I finished speaking, Tsubaki's smile froze.

"I still have a lot of things to do, I haven't recovered your file yet, I haven't figured out what the hell is going on with the ghostwriter, there may be a lot of anxiety and timidity in the future, but I will find a way to overcome them one by one, and when I solve all these things, we will go on a trip together, okay?"

Tsubaki's face began to blur, and I felt a little sour in my heart, what a coward, who only dared to say these words to an illusory scene.

However, there is one thing I understand, the friendly welcome of the fungus people is just their masks.

Gold and Gentle Township are not just as simple as the literal meaning, the dream mirror just now is two choices, choose the beauty in front of you, or give up these ways to continue to ghostwrite, Kong Chuan's advice is reasonable, this is indeed a good place to recognize yourself, what you need most, the weakest place, and the most feared thing.

So next, who will be the gentle township?

"Ye Ke!" it was Guan Qing, he was holding my arm tightly, his head was covered with sweat, and his eyes were full of panic, "Please, help me!"
