Xiao Bai sat by the lake, worrying about her suspected "time travel". She still hadn't figured out her situation. Looking at the surrounding environment, it really didn't seem like someone's prank. Even on Blue Star, there wasn't a place this shabby and primitive. Besides, no one would spend so much money to build a set and hire extras to "play" with her, right? And her appearance...
She rubbed her cheeks vigorously. There was no trace of disguise or makeup. She suddenly looked several years younger. Even special effects makeup could not be flawless. So, did she really travel through time?
"Hello, hey, hey! Shu Ling, Shu Ling, are you there?"
Xiao Bai frantically called out to the Book Spirit in his mind, but the Book Spirit, which usually appeared cursing when called, was completely silent today.
Xiao Bai gently placed her hand on her chest, where the contract space was located, and used her mind to sense the contract between her and the book spirit, but there was still no response.
"Could it be...I really traveled through time?"
While Xiao Bai was sensing the contract, the book spirit also sat cross-legged on the open book, floating in the air, with his eyes closed, sensing the contract between him and Xiao Bai. After a while, he opened his eyes in disappointment and said in a low voice:
"It still doesn't work. I still can't feel the connection with Xiao Bai. It's really strange!"
Murong An, who was standing by the window, turned around and looked at the girl lying quietly on the bed to Shu Ling's right, frowning slightly.
He had originally planned to explore the depths of the underground fissures, the cause of the animal mutations, and the gray fog, before escaping. However, Xiao Bai suddenly passed out, and he couldn't continue exploring. He had no choice but to escort him out and take care of him. He then went to the Qiyi Exchange to hand over the Tianxin Community mission and report on the underground fissures there. He would leave the rest of the exploration to the Blue Star authorities. For now, it was more important to determine the cause of Xiao Bai's coma. Otherwise, Xiao's mother would burst into tears.
Murong An moved his gaze to the cabinet beside Xiao Bai's bed. On it stood a small arc-shaped fish tank. Inside the tank, a grayish-white fish as long as a finger was lying listlessly at the bottom of the tank. It was the big fish that originally parasitized the underground crack nightmare.
He did not hand over the big fish. He had a feeling that keeping the fish might be useful.
After many unsuccessful attempts at contract sensing, the book spirit began to search for information and flip through books frantically, striving to find all the information related to nightmares that he could remember.
"Squeak~"
The bedroom door was pushed open, and Father Xiao walked in with a glass of water and fed the water to the unconscious Xiao Bai. However, after feeding him for a long time, the water started to flow from the corners of his mouth. Father Xiao's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Is Mama Xiao okay?"
"The doctor just checked him out. He said he fainted because he was too sad. He'll be fine once he wakes up." Father Xiao said, his voice choking again.
Murong An was a little at a loss and a little annoyed. He suddenly regretted bringing the unconscious Xiao Bai back, which only added to the sadness of the two old people, but he regretted taking him out even more. If he had not taken him out, perhaps this incident would not have happened.
"Alright, alright, why are you crying, a grown man? Didn't the doctor say he's fine, just temporarily unconscious? There's always a way to wake him up!"
Uncle Grandpa's loud voice came from the door. He and Master Li had just sent the doctor out. When he came back, he saw Father Xiao crying. He was irritated and angry:
"He's not missing any limbs, he's just unconscious. Cultivators are bound to get hurt! Since you've embarked on this path of cultivation, you must be prepared to get hurt! Okay, stop causing trouble here and go take care of your wife!"
Uncle Grandpa drove Father Xiao away, pulled over a chair and sat down, pretending to glance at Shu Ling next to him casually and coughed a few times. Master Li immediately understood and closed the door of the room.
"Tell me, what happened?" said my uncle, and then he pointed casually in the direction of the book spirit: "Also, what is this?"
There is nothing that cannot be told to others. Father Xiao and Mother Xiao have always known about the book spirit, but they just didn't dare to tell anyone about his origins before. After all, weapon spirits are too rare, and it would be a crime to possess a treasure. With the abilities of Xiao Bai, father Xiao and mother Xiao, they simply cannot protect him. If too many people know about it, it will cause unnecessary trouble. But now that uncle and Master Li have found out, Murong An can't hide it anymore, so he summons the little elf of the red spider lily, and together they help the two little guys through.
The explanation used is: the book spirit is the spirit of the instrument that Xiao Bai contracted by chance in the suburbs of Su City, and the red spider lily elf is the one he picked up.
No matter whether the two people listening believe it or not, he himself believes it!
After hearing the cause of Xiao Bai's coma and the origins of the two elves, even a calm uncle was surprised. He tried hard to control his expression and pretend to be calm, but in fact he was complaining in his heart: It turns out that little guy Xiao Bai had hidden so many things from them! But these are not the main points now. The main point now is:
"How can we wake Xiao Bai up? The human sea of consciousness is very complex. According to you, there must be something wrong with Xiao Bai's consciousness. Is this related to the nightmare?"
As expected of an old man who has eaten more salt than young people eat rice, he can see the problem very clearly.
"It must be the Nightmare's ability that triggered something. Nightmares have the ability to control a person's spiritual consciousness. This is how they can remain parasitic in a person's sea of consciousness without being discovered, and continue to absorb spiritual consciousness until the spiritual consciousness is completely absorbed. However, Xiao Bai's situation is different. Under normal circumstances, even if a spiritual consciousness is controlled by a Nightmare, it will not disappear from the sea of consciousness."
Murong An did have some understanding of nightmares, but he was at a loss because he couldn't find Xiao Bai's spiritual consciousness.
The book spirit flipped through the information related to nightmares. What was written in the information was indeed not much different from what Murong An said, but when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had grasped something, and immediately and quickly looked up other information.
“Found it!”
After a while, Shu Ling's surprised voice sounded in the room.
At this time, Xiao Bai was squatting on the ridge of a field by the stream, eating a peach and chatting with a young man who was weeding in the field.
"Hey, do you need my help?"
Xiao Bai scratched her head. She didn't know the dark-skinned young man in front of her, but he seemed to be from the same village. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of any good topic to strike up a conversation. Since he was working, she might as well try to get close to him and help him with his work!
However, Xiao Bai had a good plan, but no one responded.
The dark-skinned young man who was wielding a hoe heard this, raised his head slightly and glanced at her, then said with disdain: "Don't even think about relying on me, I won't marry you!"
Xiao Bai was dumbfounded!
What?!
