Infinite Throne

   Chapter 297 Dream and Wake

  Irin heard the name again.

   As if the whole town, everyone knew Green, but not Green.

   This time, Irin's face did not show any wrong emotions such as surprise, surprise, shock, wonder, and doubt.

   He just smiled and continued to twist Ellen's fine brown curly hair with his hands.

Huh?

   It turns out that the movement of the head is really interesting.

   No wonder Yiyi likes to turn his head.

  Irin suddenly had such an absurd idea.

   "Have you seen him?"

   "Ellen has never seen it."

   Allen thought about it for a while, then shook his head vigorously.

"uncle."

Allen suddenly raised his head, looked at Yi Rin with eyes that were as clear as sapphire, and asked timidly, "I want to know, why they all have fathers, but Allen doesn't have a father? Is it Aaron... not good enough? Is it that Ellen's paintings are not good enough?"

   Allen hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head: "Is it true that Allen's painting looks like Dad, and Dad will come back?"

   "No." Yi Rin said softly, "Ellen is a good boy. Your paintings are also very... soulful."

"But…"

"Don't worry. There will be, and your father will definitely come back." Yi Rin got closer, looking at Ellen's blue pupils, as if looking at the sky: "Honey, go to sleep. When you wake up, just go to sleep. Everything is there."

   Allen heard the words, with a black line: "Uncle, how can you say such a lie to children? It's too unprofessional."

  Irin laughed.

   While chatting, Allen had already tidy up the crayons and paintings on the desktop, ready to wash and sleep.

   "Goodbye uncle."

   "Goodbye Ellen."

   took a few steps, and Alan turned his head back again with a serious expression: "Judy secretly said that if Uncle wants to, he can stay here for the night tonight."

   "Uh, please tell Judy that uncle is very busy, next time."

   "Okay! Next time definitely, I'll tell Judy another day."

   Allen didn't doubt that he had a car, he smiled lightly, and there were cute little dimples on both sides of his mouth: "Good night, uncle."

   "Good night Ellen."

   "Have a wonderful night."

  “…”

  …

  Irin paid enough for the room, and did not choose to stay at Judy's house for the night.

  —inappropriate.

  Xing Fei seemed to finally be unable to bear it, and fell asleep completely.

  Irin is alone.

in the room.

   bowed his head.

  As the sky darkened, the slightly shaking lights overhead cast a mottled shadow on Irin's face.

   He kept rubbing the ancient compass in his hand.

   on the compass.

The    pointer keeps spinning like never ending.

  Irin's expression, although it seemed that there was no change on the surface.

   But after careful consideration, it is like thinking, hesitating, and entangled.

  I don't know how long it took.

  Xing Fei yawned and walked in.

   said as he walked, "This mission is very weird. When I wake up, I can't figure out whether I'm in reality or a dream. It's hard to do! Hey wait, you should see me?"

  Xing Fei saw that Yi Rin ignored him at all, so he couldn't help but leaned forward, stretched out his hand and shook a few times in front of Yi Rin.

  When the boundaries between dreams and reality are broken, when you wake up and can't tell whether it is reality or a dream, this feeling will be grotesque to anyone.

  Irin silently put away the compass.

When    raised his head again, Yi Rin looked at Xing Fei with a genial and warm smile.

In fact, if the partner with Yi Rin this time is Little Fatty, or Pan Xiaozheng, or Oda Mai and other experienced people, when they see Yi Rin showing such a kind smile, there will definitely be more How far to hide, and will silently re-think what Irin said.

   "If it were you, what would you do if you wanted to wake up from a dream?"

  Xing Fei was taken aback: "Wait, you seem to have asked this question once."

   "Have you asked?"

   "I've asked, I'm 100% sure."

"I forgot."

  “…”

   "If it were you, what would you do if you wanted to wake up from a dream?" Irin repeated the question again.

Xing Fei saw that Yi Rin had no intention of joking. After thinking for a while, he answered seriously: "It should be doing something very exciting. Pinch your face is just one way. Or fall from high altitude? Or something else? Anyway, who You know, the dream thing is very simple when it is said, and it is very complicated when it is said to be complicated."

  Irin took out the compass again and played it over and over.

   A compass is very fun.

  Xing Fei also noticed that Yi Rin had a compass that looked nothing special in his hand, and the pointer was spinning.

   seems to be broken.

   The direction pointed by the general compass is motionless.

   The pointer of the compass in Yi Rin's hand even turned out a sense of rhythm.

The    pointer turned, Xing Fei felt a little dizzy and had chest tightness.

   Xing Fei didn't have time to ask more questions, Yi Rin asked again: "How do you know if you are in a dream or in reality?"

   "Uh... pinch yourself to see if you can wake up?"

   "You won't know if you try it now."

   Yi Rin's voice just fell, but Xing Fei didn't expect Xing Fei to really pinch it hard.

   is very hard.

   Although Xing Fei's strength attribute is not too high, he is also very cruel to himself, and his left face swells up in the blink of an eye.

   "Fuck? Ouch..."

  Xing Fei covered his face and screamed in pain.

   But still didn't wake up.

   Although the conversation between the two seemed like a joke.

   But Xing Fei already understood.

After    exclamation, Xing Fei's expression became extremely solemn: "What you actually want to say is that we have no way to tell whether we are in a dream or reality?"

  Irin nodded and shook his head again.

   "But, I obviously fell asleep."

  Irin retorted: "Who told you that when you fall asleep, you enter a dream?"

   "But you clearly told them so..."

  Xing Fei just said this sentence, but he suddenly remembered the sinister smile of Yi Rin after confronting the trio, and suddenly realized: "Wait, are you fooling them?"

   "What are you talking about? They asked. I kindly told him, didn't I also charge you money? How can this be considered cheating?"

  Irin smiled.

   "Wonderful!"

  Xing Fei slapped his thigh with great force and pain.

   But still didn't wake up.

  Irin continued: "I personally think that dreams can simulate all appearances, but a certain fact that a person's subconscious 'believes' in the deepest part of his subconscious, there must be no way to simulate a dream."

   "For example, a top that never stops spinning."

   "Or a flower that never dies."

   "Or, someone who is completely dead, and who believes in his heart that he will never reappear."

   "A landscape that can never appear in front of you."

   "Something that can never be seen."

Yi Rin gave many examples in succession, Xing Fei nodded while listening, "I understand, as you said, 'falling asleep' is not necessarily a dream, and 'waking up' is not necessarily a real awakening. ? Then, to truly judge whether you are in the dream world or the real world, you need to find out what subconsciously believes 'absolutely impossible'?"

   "Once 'this' happens, it means that we are still in the dream world, not the real world."

  Xing Fei is also on the spiritual side after all, and his brain is banging, sorting out Yi Rin's thoughts on the plot trial.

"If this is the case, then the real danger of this trial is likely to be here! If you can't even distinguish between dreams and reality, and you go to sleep stupidly and fall into a dream, shouldn't it be... the worst may be , will never wake up?"

   thought of this.

  Xing Fei was extremely frightened when he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

   "Very likely." Yi Rin nodded: "I think this may be the biggest danger in this trial. I guess they haven't discovered it yet."

   "What the hell? Then you lied to them to kill monsters in their dreams? You are good or bad. However, I like it, hehe."

  Irin slammed the cover of the compass and closed it tightly, but after putting it away, he said, "Actually not, it is necessary to fall into a dream. If you don't fall into a dream, you will not be able to complete the main quest at all."

  Xing Fei figured out the deep meaning hidden in Yi Rin's words: "You mean... you actually already know how to pass this trial?"

   "That's right." Irin sighed softly.

   "Damn it! Then wait! Hurry up and go."

  Xing Fei rolled up his sleeves, wishing he could directly kill "Green" and chop him into minced meat so that he could return to the real world.

   He is still busy looking for ancient alchemy books all over the world to study.

   How can I have time to spend in trials?

   "Don't worry." Yi Rin raised her head, looked blankly at Xing Fei, smiled and said, "I haven't told you how to wake up from the dream."

   "Huh? Please speak."

   "For us, what is 'absolutely impossible' to happen and can't let 'it' happen?"

   "Well, a lot." Xing Fei was tangled.

   "Yes. There are indeed many. But there is one thing in common for all of them. That is..."

  Xing Fei was taken aback for a moment.

   The reason why his mood changed was not because of Irin's words.

   is the direction from which the sound came.

   from behind him.

   In front of him, Irin had disappeared without knowing when.

   The speed is unbelievable.

   In the blink of an eye, Irin had circled behind him.

But…

   What is this guy doing behind me?

   Is the back more fragrant?

  chi—

  Xing Fei had a lot of thoughts flashing through his mind in an instant.

   But none of them are reliable.

   and suddenly.

   With the sound of a crisp knife piercing the flesh, from inside his body, after passing through his ears in some strange way, when he reacted again, Xing Fei could clearly feel the sharp pain in his chest.

   It was a blood-red knife.

   That knife looks familiar.

  The knife completely penetrated his chest, penetrated from behind with unparalleled precision, pierced through his heart, and emerged from his chest.

   That relaxed and happy feeling gave Xing Fei the illusion that his equipment was all paper.

   "It's 'death'. For us, the thing that is absolutely impossible is death. And the thing that can survive after death is even less likely to appear in reality. So..."

  Xing Fei's eyes were dark, and the second half of the sentence was even more inaudible.

   After Yi Rin took Xing Fei away with one knife.

  He looked down at Xing Fei's body.

  Ten seconds.

   Twenty seconds.

   Thirty seconds.

  Xing Fei's corpse suddenly turned into black dust and melted into the ground, in the same way as the faceless corpse.

   "Sure enough."

   feels wrong.

   has no confusing value, nor is it true.

   The way the corpse is handled is even more wrong.

  Zizzy—

   The black and white TV that had been playing junk TV commercials suddenly made a harsh noise.

  After the noise.

   was cut off by Yi Rin with a knife, and the TV host "Green", who was supposed to be cool, appeared on the show again.

   And it was live.

"Yo! Good evening. Welcome to the beautiful and warm town of Green! This is a dream holiday paradise! Now, it's the annual 'Green Festival' again! I don't know what will happen in this year's Green Festival. What kind of spectacle? Please wait and see.”

   "I wish you all a wonderful night."
