Ji Weihang entered the Wish Game to find her missing enemy and resolve a fifty-year-old grudge. She never expected that within the game, she'd accidentally fulfill her childhood dream of saving...
Chapter 201 Psychedelic Dream (5)
Leaving the meeting room and returning to the street, Ying Feiqiong led them to an open space, then blew a whistle to call the kite floating in the sky.
This was a kite in the shape of a female eagle. It flew down in an unnatural way and hovered in front of the girls. A green elf the size of a palm flipped down from the kite, hanging in the air by the silk thread, and said to Ying Feiqiong, "Are you going back?"
Ying Feiqiong hummed, "Thank you for your help."
The green elf glanced at the number of passengers, nimbly climbed onto the kite, and dropped a small piece of bamboo.
The bamboo is hung under the kite with silk threads, and it magically expands, becomes larger, and becomes three-dimensional, eventually turning into a bamboo basket.
After entering the bamboo basket, the entrance and exit gap was automatically sealed, and the kite took off, carrying a group of humans, demons and monsters swaying along the wind towards the gathering place on the Jijiang Continent.
Ji Weihang stood on the edge of the bamboo basket, looking at the scene below without saying a word.
Fu Xuan glanced at her and took the initiative to bring up the topic, asking Ying Feiqiong: "Who are the people from your place? Haven't you seen Aunt Kunling and the others?"
Ying Feiqiong said: "The ones you care about are Bai Zhiyu, Zhong Lingxiu, and Ping Yi. We have never seen them. We guess that either they are not players and are not in the same place as us, or they have not been taken away by the game."
The former means that they are still alive, but we just haven't seen them, and the latter means that they are indeed dead.
Ji Weihang said: "It should be somewhere else. How well do you know about this collective dream realm? Do you have a map?"
"We should be the group that has the deepest understanding of the entire collective dream realm." Ying Feiqiong took out a map and the girls gathered around to look at it.
On the map, the collective dreamland is a circular continent. The area where the edge meets the horizon is called the no-man's land. This area is infinitely extended, and no one can approach it except newcomers who appear at the border of the horizon for the first time.
In addition, the settlement is divided into five major areas.
The East District was the “Chonghai Plain” they had just left;
The West Side is a “neon city” where technology and race coexist;
The southern area is a "tropical desert" where heat-loving races mix;
The northern area is the "howling snowfield" where cold-loving races live together;
The central area is the "Taoyuan Wonderland" where all the immortal races live together, and it is also where they want to go.
The five major areas are separated by the "Four Mountains" automatically formed in the collective dream realm.
The Sifang Mountain Range is called Sifang, but it is not square. It extends infinitely towards the boundary of the sky and is also called the Boundless Mountain Range.
"That's the Sifang Mountains." Ying Feiqiong pointed ahead.
The vast green forest extends to the end of the sight.
Yun Rui thought: "How did Ji Chengyuan get through and find you?"
Ji Chengyuan said: "I didn't get through. I took risks inside and got lost, so I wandered around. Later, I followed the familiar scent and found the cultivators from Jijiang Continent. They were the ones who took me out."
Yun Ruisi thought: "You are so lucky. You brought enough food with you to last until you meet them."
Fu Xuan explained to Ji Weihang in a low voice: "Here, we need to consume a certain amount of spiritual energy every day. The companion beasts in the mountains, which are unowned places, will disappear after death. Eating them raw will cause poisoning, so they cannot be used as food."
Ji Chengyuan looked at Yun Ruisi and blinked, "No, I didn't bring any food in."
Yun Ruisi raised her eyebrows in confusion.
Ji Chengyuan said frankly: "The companion beast will disappear when it dies, so I eat it raw." He gave a thumbs up, "It tastes good. The toxins are like peppers when they take effect, and it's numbing."
Yun Ruisi: "...As expected of a demon clan."
Ren Fengpan thought about the companion beasts he had seen, and it took a lot of effort for him to suppress the urge to feel nauseous and vomit.
Ji Weihang and Fu Xuan, who didn't know much about companion beasts, didn't react much.
Ying Feiqiong brought the topic back to the point and said, "Here, water is the carrier of dreams. Through most water bodies, you can enter the ongoing dream, while a small amount of water bodies are gaps in the dream.
"In order for Ren Fengpan to get in touch with Elisa again, we have to enter the dream gap. This is not only to gain Ji Weihang's trust, but also to confirm what is hidden behind this clue. There are so many of us, but no one has ever met an NPC they know."
Ying Feiqiong glanced at Ji Weihang and did not say that she thought this was also a variable brought about by Ji Weihang.
"What kind of dreams have you entered?" Ji Weihang suddenly asked.
Ying Feiqiong replied: "Ruling the world, destroying the world, saving the world, blowing up schools, blowing up companies, killing people, being hunted, flying into the sky and into the ground, getting rich overnight... most people's dreams are what they are."
Ji Weihang asked: "Are these dreams of real people?"
"It should be." Ying Feiqiong understood what she meant, paused, and said, "Ping Si accidentally entered Si Ruyang's dream."
In other words, it is possible for him to connect to Blue Star or Jijiang Continent through dreams.
Ji Weihang moved his wrist, as if he could feel the light touch of the thread of fate.
"Wait a minute, let Bai Zhiyu and Ping'er go down with us. Yun Ruisi won't be needed."
Bai Zhiyu's master's wife Wanqi Shuang is still in Jijiang Continent, so we can try to arrange for them to meet.
Ping Si had entered Si Ruyang's dream. After Si Ruyang became a player, the two were more likely to meet.
There were two reasons for not letting Yun Ruisi go along. On the one hand, Ji Weihang couldn't take care of too many people. On the other hand, Ji Weihang suspected that Yun Ruisi might be an undercover agent in the game.
Ying Feiqiong glanced at Yun Ruisi and said, "Okay." Originally, she had not planned to let Yun Ruisi follow her. They had not passed the probation period, so they were just brought along.
If Ren Fengpan is not the protagonist who wants to contact Eliza, he must leave, and Ying Feiqiong does not want Ren Fengpan to leave.
Yun Ruisi smiled meaninglessly. She was not an adventurous person to begin with.
Next, Ying Feiqiong told them some precautions when entering the dream gap.
After Ying Feiqiong finished explaining the 366 dream companion beasts in detail, they finally arrived.
Taoyuan Wonderland is very similar to Jijiang Continent, with small towns, cities, floating islands, forests, plains, and deserts, and different areas have their own characteristics.
The kite stopped in the center of the central city. When she got off the kite, someone came up to her and said to Ying Feiqiong, "Sister Feiqiong, Sister Pingyi suddenly felt something and went to the No. 1 gap with the city lord. The city lord said that when you come back, go there to find her."
"It seems that Ping'an has already sensed the existence of his Taoist partner." Ying Feiqiong joked, "Xiao Weihang, as soon as you came, clues popped up one after another."
Ji Weihang said calmly: "When the plot reaches the right place, clues will naturally emerge."
The messenger looked at Ji Weihang secretly, and when she glanced at him, he immediately looked away.
"Senior Sister Yun, why don't you say hello to me?" Ji Weihang took the initiative to say.
The messenger turned around and asked in surprise: "Do you still remember me?"
Ji Weihang said: "Of course, you entered the sect together with the senior sister, and you are the junior sister of the senior sister, how could I forget? When you returned from your travels, you also brought me Xiaqi candy."
Senior Sister Yun looked dazed and said, "Indeed, I did bring you some Xiaqi candy." She came back to her senses and looked at Ji Weihang with a gentle smile on her face. "It's been a long time since we last met. I almost forgot what you looked like. I didn't expect you still remembered me. You've grown up so much now."
Ji Weihang said: "I will never forget you."
This seemed to hit the other person's heart. Senior Sister Yun forced a smile and said hurriedly, "I'll be leaving first. I have something else to do."
Everyone noticed the slight nasal twang in her voice, but no one brought it up.
They left the city in silence.
When they saw the wellhead representing Gap No. 1, the man with a sword on his back by the well also saw them.
Ji Weihang and Bai Zhiyu, who was carrying a sword on his back, looked at each other. Bai Zhiyu was the first to look away and looked into the well.
She held a fishing rod in her hand, with the fishing line hanging down into the well, swaying from time to time.
Fu Xuan asked, "When we go in, won't everyone be tied up with fishing lines?"
Ying Feiqiong said: "The fishing rod is suitable for one person, and others will be used by multiple people."
As they were talking, they were only one step away from the wellhead.
As soon as she saw them, Bai Zhiyu began to reel in the line. This was not to pull the people in the well out by force, but to alert them that something was happening outside the well.
When they were very close to the well, the fishing line was pulled hard twice and Bai Zhiyu reeled it in quickly.
As they stood by the well, a hand climbed up the edge, and then a person climbed out of the well, wet. His finger-long short hair stuck to his scalp, dripping with water, his clothes stuck to his body, and his powerful muscles were angular.
"Ji Weihang." Ping Xi pushed back the wet hair that was covering her eyes and said, "Long time no see."
"Long time no see." Ji Weihang said, "Have you found Si Ruyang?"
Pingyi jumped down the well, shook her head quickly to shake off the water, and said, "No. I felt that she was very close to me, but there were too many dreams blocking us, so Bai Zhiyu pulled me out. Are you here to help?"
Ji Weihang said: "I just did what I had to do. It can't be called helping."
Ying Feiqiong explained the current situation to Bai Zhiyu and Ping Xi.
Ping Xi groaned, puzzled, "She doesn't believe us, so why should we prove to her that we are us? Beat her up and she'll know it's us."
Having said that, he prepared to approach Ji Weihang.
This scene was too familiar. Ji Weihang subconsciously took a step back and couldn't help wondering, why is Ping Yi still like this?
Ping Xi said proudly: "Look, she obviously knows it's me."
Bai Zhiyu, who had been silent the whole time, reached out to stop Ping Xi and said, "Stop making trouble."
Ping Xi stopped and said with a curled lip, "Okay." She raised an eyebrow at Ji Weihang, "I don't need to prove myself, right?"
Ji Weihang found it somewhat amusing, and the inexplicable vigilance in his heart dissipated a little.
Ying Feiqiong said: "If the NPC that Ren Fengpan saw was not fake, it means that there may be a collective dream domain of NPCs here. This is new information. We should verify the authenticity of this information."
Ping Si said: "Okay, okay, I understand. Will you help me find Ah Hai from now on?"
Although he said "you guys", his eyes were fixed on Ji Weihang.
Ji Weihang said: "Of course."
Pingyi immediately turned to the wellhead and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go."
Ying Feiqiong said helplessly: "Wait for the guards to come."
Guardians, as the name suggests, are responsible for guarding the safety of those who enter the dream gap.
With so many of them wanting to go in, a lot of guards will be needed.
There are very few people like Wangkong who directly tame companion beasts as guardians.
Most organizations can only use some props that can pull people out, and it is impossible to tame intelligent companion animals.
While waiting for the guards, the atmosphere at the well was a little awkward. No one seemed to want to talk.
Ji Weihang looked at Bai Zhiyu who was standing aside with a sword in her arms and said, "Do you know that I sneaked into the Wanjian Sect and stole Tianjiao's sword bone, and also made a sword with your sword bone."
Bai Zhiyu looked at her, and after a moment, she smiled, "Well done."
Ji Weihang looked at the sword in Bai Zhiyu's arms and said, "Your new sword?"
Bai Zhiyu said: "Well, I made the sword of redemption myself."
Ji Weihang looked at Bai Zhiyu, wanting to say something, but paused and said nothing. Finally, he just hummed and said:
"I will find Master's wife and the others."
Bai Zhiyu lowered her eyes and hummed.
Ying Feiqiong on the side glanced at Bai Zhiyu and rubbed her with his fingers.
Ji Chengyuan whispered, "Why, are you worried about her?"
Ying Feiqiong did not answer.
"Where is Zhong Lingxiu?" Fu Xuan felt that Ping Xi had a good temper, so he moved closer to her and asked in a low voice.
Ping Si also lowered her voice and said, "She's out."
Fu Xuan wanted to ask more questions when the sound of footsteps interrupted their conversation.
"I brought all the idle guards here." said Senior Sister Yun who was walking in the front.
Most of the guards were dressed casually, and some were yawning sleepily, as if they had just crawled out of bed.
Senior Sister Yun didn't look at Ji Weihang. She talked to Ying Feiqiong alone for a few words and then walked to the side. She was not a guardian, so standing here would be a hindrance.
Ruisi, who did not enter the well, also followed.
The guards spread out a net and put it on the bodies of several people who were about to enter the dream gap. The mesh just fits around everyone's waist and cleverly prevents it from falling to the ground.
After making sure that the net was loose but not messy and would not hinder movement, the guard asked who the "central person" was. He shook the net, and it immediately broke, trapping a single person from head to toe. Only the net of Ren Fengpan, the central person, was still around his waist.
If you look closely, you can see thin lines connecting the central person and the others.
Like a spider web.
Now you can go in.
Fu Xuan pulled the net line on his head and said jokingly, "It's not a fishing rod, but a fishing net."
Ying Feiqiong said: "This fishing net... this net will help us not to get separated, and it won't hinder our movements. It is the best prop for multiple people to enter a dream."
Although it looks strange and cumbersome, the net is as if it is not there and does not hinder movement.
Ren Fengpan needs to be the first to enter the well. Everyone’s landing point for entering the dream gap is different. Starting from the center, it will be easier to reach the position they want.
After Ren Fengpan jumped into the well, the network cable hung at the edge of the well, and the next one was Ji Weihang.
The last person to go down the well was Bai Zhiyu. Before she went down, she said to the guard, "When I come up, I want to see Zhong Lingxiu."
"Okay, City Lord."
She looked into the dark well, closed her eyes and jumped in.
Before she completely lost consciousness, Bai Zhiyu heard a familiar voice again:
"Hey, are you Bai Zhiyu from the Wanjian Sect? I heard that your goal is the same as your master's wife's, to help the world? Then please help me and help me stop the senior sister behind me! Thank you very much!"
"Sister Zhiyu, save me!... Hehe, I'm so bored, can you practice sword skills with me? What? Inappropriate? Today is my dear senior sister's birthday, which is equivalent to my indulgence day. What's the point of being appropriate? Take my sword!"
"Bai Zhiyu, you are so inappropriate! You believed some ridiculous news and tried to attack my master's wife, and then you blocked my sword for no reason. What does my suicide have to do with you? It's so inappropriate! I will never call you sister again!"
"Don't cry... Could it be that you fell in love with me in just one day... cough cough cough... I knew I was the most lovable... cough cough... I'm sorry..."
Bai Zhiyu opened her eyes, and all her emotions disappeared.
At this moment, she was in a dense forest, with no one around her.
There was a rustling sound behind me.
"Sister Zhiyu, save me!"
The young man who ran out of the woods shouting had already unsheathed his sword before he even reached Bai Zhiyu.
The sword flashed.
The head fell to the ground with a thud.
Bai Zhiyu sheathed his sword and began to move along the net without even looking at the boy's head that had fallen to the ground.
