Chapter 56: The Vortex

On the golden sea without wind and waves, Lu Yun opened his eyes.

He was accustomed to seeing a completely different scene after a period of darkness, and he reflected it at the first time, this was his "dream".

What is in front of Lu Yun's eyes now is the incredible sea of dreams that he has seen many times since he was a child.

It's just that when Lu Yun came here before, he had a hazy bird's-eye view, not to mention his body, he didn't even have a clear consciousness, let alone realize that he was dreaming in a dream.

Now, he can clearly realize that this is not reality, but his "dream".

But Lu Yun couldn't manipulate his body as freely as he did in the dusk, but it was already much better than before, and he could only move his gaze when the sea without wind and waves rippled last time.

This time, Lu Yun had barely controlled his body to move.

Of course, this is a bit reluctant to move, because Lu Yun can only let his body slowly translate in mid-air, and he can't actually control himself.

It feels like you're using some kind of remote-controlled device.

But it's better than not being able to do anything, and since Lu Yun has been in and out of dusk many times, he has begun to wonder if the golden ocean he has been dreaming of is the same place as dusk?

With the mentality of exploration, Lu Yun began to fly in a certain direction in the sky above the golden ocean.

Because there was nothing in the range of his eyes except the golden sea and sky, Lu Yun had no idea what he was going to.

In the more than twenty years he has lived in the residential area, Lu Yun, like most suburbanites born after the war, has never seen a real sky due to the existence of the canopy.

In the school run by the Aether Corporation in the suburbs, Lu Yun's teacher once said in the general education class that in the real sky beyond the canopy, there was an incomparably huge fiery fireball called the sun.

The sun is like an aether tower in a residential area, when it is bright it is day, and when it is dim it is night.

In addition to the sun, the real sky is just a larger curtain that is as monotonous and boring as the canopy, and it is only because the current place of residence is full of dangerous pre-war relics and post-war anomalies that the company chooses to use the canopy to protect the place of residence.

As for the sea, since the company also goes overseas, there is a port bordering the sea at the northern end of the residence, but generally only employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs need to go to sea.

I heard that the real sea is blue, and there are countless waves of all sizes and sizes churning on the sea, which is completely different from the silent ocean that Lu Yun sees now.

There are no waves, Lu Yun's vision is cast into the distance, only the boundless sea and sky.

I don't know how much time has passed, Lu Yun has floated in one direction for a long time, the golden sea and sky have not changed in the slightest, and no matter how far away, it has not changed.

Lu Yun felt that he was a little tired, and according to his experience, such a feeling meant that he was about to wake up.

Sighing in his heart, Lu Yun felt a little regretful for this fruitless night, he stopped, ready to wait in place for the moment when his consciousness returned to darkness.

With one exhale, one inhale, Lu Yun's eyelids that he didn't know existed became heavier and heavier, and his vision became blurred.

Pain! Pain!

Suddenly, Lu Yun felt a piercing pain, he had never suffered such pain before, as if his whole body was crushed and crushed, extreme pain.

But Lu Yun couldn't struggle, he couldn't even scream, but he still had a feeling of "sleepiness", under this extreme pain, not only did not disappear, but became more and more intense.

This inexplicable pain made Lu Yun involuntarily look down, looking towards the golden ocean, and what he saw this time even made Lu Yun forget the pain for a moment.

It was a whirlpool, which rolled up the whirlpool of the entire ocean as far as Lu Yun's eyes could see, but the strange thing was that although this whirlpool was extremely huge, Lu Yun still felt that the ocean was calm.

In the center of the huge whirlpool was a deep cave that was so dark that there was no light and no shadow, and Lu Yun was directly above this deep hole at the moment.

The pain made Lu Yun unable to condense for a long time, but he couldn't struggle, the extremely contradictory feeling made Lu Yun almost crazy, and even, he felt that the huge pit below was pulling him over little by little.

Unlike the sight of countless suicides seen after being pulled away by George for the first time, Lu Yun's instinct told him that the deep hole with no light and no shadow would only tear him apart and swallow him until his existence was completely erased.

Lu Yun wanted to leave, wanted to leave in the opposite direction.

But it was useless, Lu Yun couldn't move, he could only passively feel that he was getting closer and closer to the deep hole...

More and more... The closer...

!!!!!!

Lu Yun woke up, and before being completely inhaled by the deep hole, he woke up from his dream and successfully returned from the golden ocean.

He gulped his breath, cold sweat soaked his clothes, and the paralyzing feeling of extreme pain still remained on his body, making Lu Yun unable to distinguish between reality and illusion for a while.

Lu Yun glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the dormitory, the time displayed on it was more than 5 o'clock in the morning, and there were still more than 3 hours before work, but Lu Yun, who had palpitations, could no longer sleep peacefully.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Yun took off his shirt, got up from the bed, and turned on the lights in the dormitory.

The feeling of being in the light made him feel reassured, and Lu Yun decided to use a training assistant to help him temporarily forget everything in his dream.

"Hello, Employee Lu Yun, I'm your training assistant, number B-121."

B-121's voice was no different from the last time it was turned on, Lu Yun quickly chose the training mode, with Momo's precedent, if he and the training assistant were injured in a fight, it might happen in the subsequent containment.

Therefore, Lu Yun chose the training mode and numbed himself with the most basic movements.

The deep cave without light and shadow, the huge whirlpool that appeared inexplicably, the golden ocean that Lu Yun had dreamed of since he was a child didn't seem to be as he originally thought, just a dream.

With a punch, a huge muffled sound echoed in the dormitory, Lu Yun's strengthened body was unimaginable to ordinary people, but even with this strength, Lu Yun still felt powerless.

The feeling of not being able to move, to struggle, or even to scream made him feel an emotion almost for the first time.

One kind of emotion, when facing George and facing the strong man in the rafting area, has never had -

Despair.

……

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was time to rotate production, and Lu Yun, who was sweating like rain, turned off the B-121, and went to the bathroom to take a shower and change into clean clothes.

At this moment, Lu Yun looked completely new, and he looked ready to welcome a new day in his dark gray uniform.

However, when Lu Yun lifted his watch and reconfirmed the post-war anomaly he had been assigned to, a strong sense of uneasiness once again came over him.

Is it because Lu Yun has a natural fear of the danger of the D-class?

Is it because the effects of his previous dreams are still haunting him?

Lu Yun didn't know, he sincerely hoped that his feelings were wrong.

In any case, a new day began, Lu Yun took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the dormitory.
