Chapter Eighty-Seven: Confusion
In the dark, Kiki feels like she's going to be in the psychedelic sea again. Sure enough, this time she really revisited the same place again.
But this time, the mood is completely different from the last time, just like seeing the fugue mentioned in the book before. The sky is still clear and beautiful, and the clouds are steaming; The sea, as usual, is gentle and vast, rippling and rippling. The sky and the sea are connected by the horizon, with the sky below and the sea above. It is estimated that the nerves in the brain that control anxiety are cut off, making the mood feel very relaxed.
Lying in the heavens of this world, facing the vast sea. There was no fear, no burden, no sense of your body, everything was lighthearted. It is very comfortable to see the clouds gently blowing by, and you can also hear the faint sound of the wind and the waves.
I don't know if it's sleepy, but a large circular plane appeared in front of Kiki's eyes. Like a calm lake, it looks like a giant mirror.
Strange, is this a legendary mirage? Kiki wondered. At this moment, the scenery appeared in the plane mirror. From the blur to the blur, it was a large garden. One by one, the flowers grew huge, and they covered a large hillside with golden sparkling. The flower is easy to identify, it is a sunflower.
Out of the flowers came a girl holding a large handful of colorful flowers. She sang a little song with a clear singing voice and danced in a fluttering manner. Kiki was a little indifferent, she always saw this girl in her dreams, and the valley of streamers.
Suddenly, a thought reminded Kiki of the legend of the Drifting Bottle. At this time, she found that the girl in the mirror in front of her stopped singing and dancing and looked straight at her: "Are you ready?" ”
Kiki was stunned and at a loss.
"You can come back if you want. Flowers and plants will be happy as well. "The girl's voice was very strange, very much like her own voice.
Kiki opened her mouth to speak, but found that she couldn't make a sound. She was surprised, why was this happening? She tried to scream, but to no avail, she moved her hand to use gestures to speak body language. But she found that the girl in the mirror didn't seem to understand what she wanted to say at all, and she didn't even see her figure at the moment.
At this moment, the mirror was like a lake after being hit by small stones, and it shook out a circle of ripples that changed from small to large. Wipe the scenery out of the mirror, and in an instant there is nothing left in the mirror.
Kiki had understood that she was trapped in her own dreams again. Only this time it is estimated that it will not be so easy to wake up. For people with somewhat incomplete memories, they are too attached to past memories, and sometimes they will trap themselves in dreams. Even if you wake up, you can't necessarily tell which is reality and what is a dream.
After the large mirror in front of me calmed down after the ripples dissipated, another scene slowly appeared: a mermaid with a familiar figure, swimming gracefully in the mirror, gradually clear from the initial blur.
Yikes! Isn't that Sister Rakshasa? Behind her was the castle of the anemones, which was even brighter and more majestic than she had ever remembered. Kiki was secretly surprised.
"Kiki, be brave. You can do it, you are the best. Rakshasa said to her in the mirror.
Kiki really wants to ask Sister Rakshasa why? But she found that she still couldn't make a sound. She was a little anxious and a little helpless. Why, exactly? Let her find the answer has been fruitless, no matter how hard she tries, the Rakshasa sister in the mirror is always indifferent.
In frustration, a tear slipped from the corner of Kiki's eye. Dripping to the large mirror opposite, in the trajectory of the teardrops, Kiki suddenly found that it was her own tears that shattered and blurred the memory in the large mirror. However, when I found it, the image of the large mirror opposite had been shaken by the ripple radiation, and it was cleaned little by little, until the large mirror also disappeared into the vast sea.
"No!" With a scream, Kiki woke up from her dream. Lying on the bed, I was shocked to sweat. Look at the hourglass in the room, oh! I slept for a long time.
Before she could get up, Du Bin's words before she left after sending her outside the imperial city echoed in her ears again:
"Kiki, Dad was seriously injured in an accident before he came to find you. I thought about a lot of things during my healing, and I used to think that my wife and daughter were dead, so I became a pirate under the sea. After meeting you and Rakshasa, I found out that I was not alone, but after Rakshasa died, I heard that the cause of death of your mother, who is also my wife, may be related to an invisible person, but I didn't expect to find you when I was looking for him......
All people are born with their own missions, and I can't let my beloved wife die in vain. I'm going to find the invisible man and ask for an explanation, and give myself an explanation, leaving no regrets.
So Kiki, it's not safe for you to be around a pirate, and Dad wants to send you back to the Imperial City to stay temporarily, and then he can pick you up when he is done. Don't run around if there's nothing to do, it's relatively safe in the Imperial City. ”
Kiki didn't say anything more, she understood: Dubin's father, who had always been strong, wanted to settle her in the imperial city instead of keeping her by his side. It can only show that Dad must be going to do something more dangerous and difficult, and he has no time to protect her. And she didn't seem to be able to help herself, so she had to go back to the imperial city according to her father's wishes, and try to meet the empress by the way, and confirm whether what the Dongdong Monster told her in the Elven Tomb was true or false.
Dubin's pet shark has dominated the oceans for hundreds of millions of years, just like a natural soldier in the ocean. There is a natural hero's blood flowing in the body. The same is true of Dubin's personality, and he will definitely do what he naturally decides.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for taking the liberty of interrupting and occupying your precious time.
For a long time, I often saw a different me in my dreams, and saw a different scenery, which was not the same as the self in front of me and the fantastic and magnificent scenery in the ocean. I couldn't even tell which was real between me in my dreams and me now. The story of the dream and the fragments of the ocean scenery were screwed together, leaving me with no direction. I often have strange voices echoing in my head, could it be that I have paranoia?
But luckily, no one ever thought I was paranoid, on the contrary, many people who seemed to know my background were hiding it from me with a special look and words. So the world of the ocean makes me feel terrifyingly mysterious.
I always feel like there's someone above me what's going on with me? Every day, the scenery is always calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging in the dark. I am like a person who has been stuffed in a bubble, drifting with the tide in the ocean of vague life. For this reason, a sense of loss often comes to mind, and it is impossible to distinguish between illusion and reality.
But I really want to know who can be trusted. From knowing Master Quelen to Master Thousand Thorns, why did they die? After the appearance of Acantero and the Invisible Man, why are they trying to awaken my memories, to awaken memories that I myself can't tell the difference between true and false? Then there was a father who protected me like a daughter. Am I really his daughter?
Why did the Invisible Man tell me that Quillen had written a letter to kill me, and was that true? Did this man save me or kill me? What's going on here?
Is it that my existence was a mistake in the first place, and that I must be born under the curse of the patriarch? Who can give me an answer, so that my heart no longer suppresses this myriad of confusion, so that the mystery in my dream can be solved satisfactorily. ”
