Chapter 205 Psychedelic Dream (9)

"Do you think the game knows what we are doing?"

With some hesitation and embarrassment, Gui Yan started talking to Ji Weihang beside her.

In order to test whether Gui Yan is still a player, a group of failed players choose a dream to enter.

When they were divided into groups to look for the dream master, considering that Gui Yan had followed Ji Weihang from the beginning, Ying Feiqiong asked them to act together.

When two people who have a mediocre relationship and have had conflicts together are bound to feel a little awkward when they are alone together.

——Of course, it was Gui Yan’s one-sided embarrassment.

However, this is also a good time to break the ice.

Therefore, Gui Yan plucked up her courage and took the initiative to find a topic.

Ji Weihang looked calm and replied, "Does it matter whether we know or not? If they know, will we give up the opportunity and not take action?"

She was sure that Yugi knew about their actions, and that this might even be something Yugi had expected.

But these demoralizing words need not be uttered.

What's more, other people may have guessed it.

Seeing that Ji Weihang's attitude was normal and he didn't show any abnormality because of her talking to him, and his tone of answer was also very calm, the burden and tension in Gui Yan's heart gradually disappeared, and she nodded and said:

"You're right. It doesn't matter what they think. What matters is what you do."

It's impossible not to do something just because there's a chance of a bad outcome.

"Two sisters!" Ren Fengpan ran over and shouted, "We found the dream master! Sister Ji will scare the dream master awake soon. Sister Ji, we should go now."

"It looks like we'll have to meet again in a while." Gui Yan waved the location prop in her hand and said, "I hope the next time we meet is in real life."

Ji Weihang nodded slightly and said, "Goodbye." Then, she turned and walked towards Ren Fengpan. They had to leave before the dream collapsed.

Gui Yan sat down on a bench on the street, waiting for the moment when her dream collapsed.

She looked up at the unchanging blue sky and white clouds that looked like a sticker, and inexplicably recalled the day when she first met Ji Linxue.

"Junior Sister Guiyan, why are you here alone? Where are Weihang and Yonghua? ... Are they refining weapons? Didn't Master's Wife ask you to exchange experiences in refining weapons? Why didn't they bring you with them?"

"Why are you crying? Is there some misunderstanding? Come here, I'll help you talk to them."

"You don't want to go? Well, do you mind if I sit here?"

"Rinxue? Well, if you want to call me that, of course you can."

"What does my name mean? My master's wife found me in the north. She said she hoped I would be like the never-ending fierce snowstorms in the north, with cruel strength and vitality. Haha, she hopes I can intimidate the world."

"Your name is also very good. 姈 means a woman who gives orders and is also a smart woman. It suits you very well. ... Do you think that Gui Lao gave you this name because she regarded you as a substitute for Master Ji 姈? Haha, it's a very cute idea. Why don't you go back and ask her?"

"Gui Yan, you're here to play again, why don't you go find Wei Hang?... Hmm? Are you here to find me?... Of course I welcome you."

"Gui Yan, you are here. A newly made spiritual treasure? Very interesting. Give it to me? Thank you. I happen to be making a spiritual treasure. Since you are here, can you help me take a look?...Ah, I have seen through it. It is indeed intended for you, but this is only the first version..."

"Gui Yan, you're here. How about we go down the mountain together today?... What a coincidence that we ran into Wei Hang and the others. Should I go up and say hello to them?... Hey, why do you think so? How could I follow them on purpose?"

“…”

"I won't die... Don't you believe me?"

Boom, the dream collapsed.

The blue sky and white clouds before my eyes were disappearing rapidly, and my vision was plunged into darkness and nothingness.

Gui Yan closed her eyes and murmured softly:

"I trust you."

In the dark cracks of dreams

Ying Feiqiong looked at the instrument in her hand, and the green dot representing Gui Yan's location suddenly jumped to another place.

Seeing the green dot start to move, Ying Feiqiong put away the instrument and said, "She is indeed a player. Next we have to wait for her to come back with good news."

That being said, they can't just wait.

Ji Weihang and Ping'an set out to find Si Ruyang to see if they could get some additional information.

As the leader of the failed players, Ying Feiqiong stayed behind to discuss the cooperation between the two parties with the NPC leaders. Ren Fengpan and Eliza had a special link, so in case of special needs, he was also left behind.

They went back to the NPC.

——Because NPCs cannot enter other people’s dreams at will, they did not participate in testing Gui Yan’s identity.

The failed players were still waiting for the exploration results. Bai Zhiyu was responsible for going back to contact the failed players. Ji Chengyuan felt it was boring to stay alone as a demon, so he went along.

——

Gui Yan looked around and found it a strange place.

There were floating islands everywhere, connected by jumping platforms. She was standing on one of them.

This is an environment without spiritual energy, but physical fitness has not been weakened.

"Hey, new guy." A figure flew by, "Hurry up, the back is going to collapse."

Gui Yan looked back and immediately started running forward like the others.

The floating island and platform roads at the rear were constantly collapsing and falling into the bottomless clouds below.

Gui Yan quickly caught up with the person in front and asked as she ran: "Who is the dream master here?"

The person who kindly reminded her looked at Gui Yan who was catching up with her in surprise and said, "Dream Master? What is a Dream Master?"

Gui Yan glanced at the man and said, "You are not a player?"

The man was confused: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Gui Yan nodded, approached the other person, and then pushed the other person off the floating island.

"Ahhh what are you doing!!"

The man fell from the sky, his screams echoing in the air for a long time, his figure fell into the layers of white clouds and soon disappeared.

If it is not a player and a communicative being, then it must be the dream master.

Just as Gui Yan expected, the dream collapsed with a loud bang.

The scene before my eyes changed, and the next moment, I was in another dream.

Gui Yan stood on the clouds, looking down at the magnificent palaces below.

She took in the details of the palace complex.

The more detailed the place is, the more likely it is that the dreamer is there.

When entering a new dream, all players will look for the dream master. As long as they find the dream master, they can find other players.

There is no prohibition on using spiritual power here. After finding her purpose, Gui Yan jumped off the clouds and landed on the earth.

"Wow, how did you fall from the sky?" The young man in a complicated green dress looked curiously at Gui Yan who fell in front of him.

Gui Yan looked at the other person's clear face, then looked at the slow-moving, faceless "people" around her, and without hesitation, she grabbed the boy and jumped onto the house, taking him to the nearest lake.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Being dragged around by Gui Yan and landing by the lake, the young man was not afraid at all and was still obsessed with the previous question.

Gui Yan glanced at the young man and made up a story: "I just jumped down. I am a deity from heaven, so I don't need to worry about falling to my death."

The young man uttered "oh" with a look of distrust: "You are lying. You don't talk like a god at all. Besides, how can a god be like you? You have scars on your arms."

Gui Yan glanced at the marks of weapon refining on her arm and said confidently, "You are ignorant. This is my battle medal, so of course I can't just remove it casually."

She scanned the surroundings, trying to wait for other players, but there was no one.

The boy thought about it and believed it, "You have a point."

Gui Yan glanced at the young man, then at the lake in front of her, wondering whether to wake up the dreamer and change the dream or to wait a while, which option would allow her to find the player indicated by fate faster.

Just as Gui Yan's hand was eager to touch the boy's neck, a scream was heard that resounded through the sky, and a figure fell from the sky and appeared in their sight.

The figure fell into the lake with a splash.

Gui Yan paused, and the boy curiously poked his head in, "Another immortal? But falling directly into the lake doesn't look like an immortal."

The man poked his head out of the water and turned out to be the dreamer of the previous dream, the one who was pushed off the floating island by Gui Yan.

Seeing Gui Yan, the man shouted and paddled towards the lake: "Don't run! Fight me face to face if you dare!"

The young man tilted his head to look at Gui Yan and said, "Your enemy?"

Gui Yan ignored the declaration of war from the people in the lake and also ignored the questions from the young man beside her.

She looked up at the person walking slowly in the air and said:

"So it turns out that the person I'm looking for is you."

The man walking in the air landed in front of Gui Yan.

Looking at her with a calm gaze, the elder of Yingtian Sect said, "You are the disciple of Ding Ding. You have the fresh scent of Ji Weihang. Why? She must not be a player."

——

In order to prevent accidents, Ping Si placed a location as soon as she entered Si Ruyang's dream.

Now, following the prop link, Ping Si and Ji Weihang entered Si Ruyang's dream.

This is a city located on the seaside. The air is filled with humid water vapor and a faint fishy smell that lingers even after being processed.

Roadside shops are all hung with various fish-related signs. Some people are selling fried fish, and the fragrant oil aroma covers the fishy smell and moisture.

The overly real and strong flavor of life obviously comes from reality.

Ping Xi walked with Ji Weihang towards where Si Ruyang was, saying, "This is Ah Hai's hometown, Chaosheng City. She grew up here, and left when she was eighteen and headed north, where she met you and me."

Ji Weihang glanced at the environment of Chaosheng City and said, "If she is dreaming, isn't she immersed in the memories of her youth?

"This seems to be similar to the failed player's personal dream? Could it be that she was just immersed in her personal dream and failed?"

Ping Si said: "It's impossible. Personal dreams are isolated from the collective dream realm. This is also a part of the collective dream realm after all.

"Moreover, all failed players have independent consciousness in their dreams. There is no such thing as being immersed in a dream."

Ji Weihang asked: "Will ordinary players immerse themselves in their own dreams? What is their game process?"

Ping Si said: "Players who are still playing the game will be randomly sent into the ongoing dream after receiving the game's mission in the Dream Land.

“Players need to know how dreams work, how to leave them, and find the way to reality.

"They will not enter their own dreams unless they encounter a powerful dream master and lose their self-awareness."

Ji Weihang thought for a moment. The first dream he had after entering the dream world neither matched the "personal dream" of a failed player nor the process of an ordinary player.

If the player who is playing the game does not enter his own dream, why can she connect with A Quan and Yu Yuan's real dream in the gap of the dream?

Could it be that the two of them also fell into the dream gap? And happened to be next to her?

Ji Weihang asked: "In the gaps of dreams, we will fall into dreams woven by our subconscious mind, right? Is it possible for the dreamer to know things in his dream that he himself does not know?"

Ping said: "This can be divided into two situations. One is that your subconscious mind reveals details that your conscious mind has not noticed.

"The other is that without your knowledge, your spiritual energy is connected with the spiritual energy of others and information is shared.

"If it's the latter, it doesn't mean the other party is very close to you. The gaps in the dream are full of floating spiritual energy, but under normal circumstances, it won't affect us."

Ji Weihang nodded to show that he understood.

As this topic came to a temporary end, Si Ruyang appeared in front.

Si Ruyang, wearing a thin blue short-sleeved shirt and short hakama, was sitting on the threshold of a house, basking in the sun leisurely, with an automatically rotating bamboo fan beside her.

Ping Si stopped and said, "You go ahead. My presence might trigger the defense mechanism."

Ji Weihang walked towards Si Ruyang, while Ping Si hid in the street corner and watched.

Si Ruyang squinted her eyes to bask in the sun and ignored Ji Weihang who was approaching.

"Si Ruyang." Ji Weihang called the other person's name.

Si Ruyang seemed not to hear and did not react.

When he was about one meter close to Si Ruyang, Ji Weihang was blocked by the air wall and could not move forward any further.

Ji Weihang did not make any unnecessary movements. He just confirmed that Si Ruyang did not respond to him, and then retreated back to Ping Si.

"It seems like I am indeed dreaming." Ji Weihang said, "But, will ordinary dreamers also isolate themselves from failed players?"

Ping Xi said: "No, we can usually get close to the dreamer, or create a nightmare to wake him up. Ah Hai's case is a special case, I have never encountered it, and I don't know what to do."

Even Ping Xi, an old man who had been here for a while, didn't know how to deal with this situation, let alone Ji Weihang, who had just arrived, he had no idea.

Ji Weihang thought about it and decided to put it aside for the time being. He said, "It shouldn't be a problem for a while. Why don't we go back first? There may be news from Gui Yan."

Ping Si shook her head: "I want to stay here to watch over her, you go back, they need you over there, but I am not necessary."

Ji Weihang didn't persuade Ping Si much, just told her to be careful, and then left here along the prop link.

When Ji Weihang returned to the Tower of Rules, Gui Yan also arrived at the same time as her, bringing the people she found.
