I had a dream.

In the dream, the world seems to be immersed in darkness, and there is no light near or far. In the darkness I heard someone talking, and it seemed to be right next to me.

"It should be safe here, right?"

"Technically, no problem. But...... Not insured. ”

"Alas. If it really doesn't work, just do it a few more times, and I won't believe it......"

"It's useless, if it's really ...... No matter how many times I came, it was in vain. ”

"yes. It doesn't matter if it's safe here, at least it's safer than outside. ”

"Ahh

The conversation came to an abrupt end, and a light lit up in the darkness.

I looked around, and there were many figures standing around me, standing around the light in the center, and I couldn't even count how many people were around.

Maybe it's because the lights aren't bright, and although there is some permissible visibility around, I can't make out their faces. However, the edges of the figures are sleek and not angular, and the voices of conversation are not electronic, so they are probably human beings rather than intelligent machines.

I didn't understand what they were saying, it was like a meeting of riddlers. It sounds like something dangerous is happening, and the group of Riddlers have made a shelter to hide, but suspect that the shelter is not very safe.

It was unexpectedly a lucid dream—but it was distinctly different from the dream world of the Source Realm, where I couldn't interact with the things around me, or even move, as if I was fixed in a certain position. At most, control your camera to move within a certain amplitude.

I realized that the light that was on was not your average lamp.

I have seen many lights, the wall lamp in my basement, the chandelier in the house, the crystal lamp in the illusion of the ancient castle in the source realm, the neon lamp in the holy city, and the Buddha lamp in the Buddhist gate. Although they have different shapes, at least they all have a normal "shape", even if it is a high-tech Buddha lamp, at least I can barely see the shape of a lamp.

But this "lamp" is very mysterious, at first glance there is only a miserable white ball of light, emitting a dim white light, after a closer look, you will find that the outer edge of the ball of light has a thin line cube that is bound to it.

If the only purpose of a lamp is to illuminate...... At the moment, the lamp is estimated to have reached its final form - only the luminous body remains.

The figures stopped talking loudly and began a small exchange of words - I could even hear someone whispering in my ear, presumably a technical discussion about security, mixed with a lot of high-end jargon - which I barely understood.

But from this point of view, my lucid dream is probably "possessed" by "a certain figure", observing the experience through his perspective?

At some point, I woke up from the cold metal chairs to find that the hall was lit up, and the walls glowed with a crystal blue glow, softly reflecting the entire space.

The lighthouse boy was lying on another row of metal seats next to him, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

P03 somehow dismantles one of the walls of the hall and tinkers with the instruments behind the wall. Although the walls have been torn apart, the cutouts are very neat and tidy, and the instruments inside are well arranged, and there is no indication that this area has been dismantled by P03, and it is as fine as the anatomy in some picture books I have seen in the past.

I couldn't help but think of the entire laboratory equipment I encountered last time in the Source Realm, because the two intelligent machines that should have been present at that time were all gone for various reasons, and I didn't know how to operate or check those instruments covered in metal shells. Now that P03 is a smart machine present, I might be able to get some of it.

I was about to lean over when the lighthouse boy on the side woke up and grabbed me.

"I just saw you." He said. "Were you dreaming?"

These two sentences made me a little confused, and I didn't understand the meaning of the lighthouse boy for a while.

"You mean, you just saw me in a dream?" I pondered for a moment.

"Yes." "In the middle of the crowd, in the center of the crowd is a spherical lighting device," he said. ”

Hey, really.

"You also dreamed that you were one of the crowds?" I wondered.

"No, I'm looking at you from a bird's-eye view, and one of them has a special power that grabs my attention, and I think it feels a bit like you, so just ask."

What's going on, could this be some kind of dream world similar to the Source Realm? Otherwise, can you still dream online?

"Because the Hume level here has started to be abnormal, it's normal for this to happen." P03, who was not far away, spoke up: "Although this place has been abandoned for a long time, after all, it was once 'used', and its influence has been retained to this day. ”

"Did you find anything?" The lighthouse boy asked.

"Of course." P03's display screen showed a strange stick figure smile: "This is an abandoned site called the 'former Noboto Site', and because it was abandoned, there are a lot of empty rooms that have been built but are not actually used. ”

"'Former' Login Site?" The lighthouse boy interrupted, "So there is still a 'present' Dengyuan site?" ”

"Yes." The P03's display flickered, flashing streams of data - seemingly showing the relevant data from the instruments next to it. "According to the information here, after the construction of the Dengyuan site was halfway through, the builder thought that there was a problem with the site, so they stopped further construction and moved to another more suitable site to build a new Dengyuan site, which was only used for a short period of time."

"So, is there a location for the new Dengyuan site? And, can the entrance device here still work? The lighthouse boy asked.

"I don't know what kind of entrance device to the outer world you are talking about, what device you are referring to......" P03 made a helpless expression, "But I guess what you are looking for should be the core equipment of the Dengyuan site." According to the data, most of those devices were disassembled and transferred to the new Dengyuan site, and a small part was directly discarded. ”

"And the new Dengyuan site, although there is coordinate data here, but this data does not have a corresponding coordinate editing method in the Buddhist information database, so although there are coordinates, but I can't infer where the new Dengyuan site is." P03 added: "But I'm pulling up more information here, and maybe I'll find some new information that I can use to locate it." ”

"Okay, thanks." Hearing this, the lighthouse boy sat back in his seat and began to think.

The lighthouse boy smelled what he wanted to know, and now it was my turn to ask.

"What do you mean by Hume?" I asked.

"I don't know exactly what the academic definition is, but it's basically a measure of the impact of some anomaly. If there is an abnormal fluctuation in the Hume index, whether it goes high or low, it means that something has happened there – and generally speaking, it is lower, which means that something not so good has happened. ”

P03 said this, suddenly as if he "thought" something, and said, "I've found the location of the new Dengyuan site - here." ”

Its display suddenly switched to a map showing the location and direction of the Great Rift Valley where we were, as well as the location of the new Dengyuan site.

"This position...... "The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes."

"Isn't it a holy city......
