Just as Cui Xingshi said, the dream before him was completely blank.

There is no sky, no earth, nothing, just white.

"What should we do now?"

Cui Xingshi looked at Fang Zheng curiously. She also wanted to see what ability this human had that could solve the problem that even they couldn't solve.

"From what I can see now, she has already closed her mind. In this case, ordinary methods are useless. We need to use stimulation therapy at this time."

"Stimulation therapy?"

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Cui Xingshi and Cang Xingshi looked at each other, and both felt a little uneasy.

"What stimulation therapy?"

"It's very simple. Since she can't accept the fact that her son is dead, let's put this fact in front of her..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng took a deep breath, then he opened his mouth and shouted.

"Kazuki is dead! Hit by a car!!"

“…”

"He died such a tragic death!"

"...Um, human, this isn't a good idea...right?"

Seeing Fang Zheng yelling here, Cui Xingshi broke out in a cold sweat, while Cang Xingshi was also speechless.

"Stop talking nonsense. She has already entered her comfort zone. Your gentle approach will not wake her up even after a hundred years. Whether it is good or bad, the first thing we need to do now is to make her react..."

“BOOM BOOMY…!!”

However, before Fang Zheng could finish his words, suddenly, the entire space emitted a sound like thunder, and Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

“See, isn’t there a reaction?”

“…Is this even possible?”

Seeing this scene, Cui Xingshi and Cang Xingshi were completely dumbfounded. In order to find the old lady's heart tree, they had sneaked into each other's dreams several times before, but found nothing. As a result, Fang Zheng came here, and after shouting, this place actually responded?

"Let me call a few more times."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng opened his mouth again to scream, but at this moment, suddenly, a boy's figure appeared out of nowhere.

“Don’t do that!”

Looking at Fang Zheng, the boy spoke. And seeing the boy in front of him, Cang Xingshi was also shocked.

"Yishu?"

"Oh? Is this the son of the old couple who died in a car accident?"

Hearing Cang Xingshi's answer, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, then stared at the boy in front of him.

"That's interesting."

However, the boy looked at Fang Zheng and said in a gloomy tone.

"Please don't do that again and don't go find the tree, Mom said she doesn't want to wake up."

"Why?"

Hearing this, Cui Xingshi was shocked.

"Why do you say that?"

“It’s very simple.”

Fang Zheng shrugged and answered Cui Xingshi's question.

"Because this is her comfort zone. As you said, this is a dream, but in the dream, she can forget the cold and cruel reality... In other words, this is escape, right?"

Having said this, Fang Zheng looked at the boy in front of him again, and the latter lowered his head.

"I am here in this world, and I can be with my mother forever. There is nothing here, no scary cars, and no sad events. Mom said that she wants to live with me forever in this quiet world, and she won't have to worry about being hurt by anyone..."

At this point, a smile appeared on the boy's face, but then Fang Zheng's words suddenly changed his expression.

"So, what about your father?"

"……Father?"

"You may not know that while you and your mother were hiding in your dreams and enjoying your life together, your father was under tremendous pressure and pain. Not only did he lose his son, but his wife was also in a coma, which caused him to have mental problems. He treated this little doll as a substitute for you, as if you were still alive."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng pointed at the Blue Star Stone. Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the boy's expression became uncertain.

"Father...Father..."

"How about this, I have an idea."

Fang Zheng chuckled and looked towards the Green Star Stone.

"Why don't you open the old man's dream door as well and bring him to this world, and then the three of you can dream happily here together, right?"

"How can you say that?"

Hearing this, Cui Xingshi couldn't help himself.

"In this case, the old man..."

"That's right. He and his wife will both lose consciousness and go to heaven with their children. That also counts as being together forever, right?"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked at the boy with a livid face.

"Whether dead or alive, it's better than the current situation of being a walking corpse. There is always a time to wake up from a dream, but how it will end is not up to us outsiders to say. It depends on the efforts of the protagonist himself."

Having said this, Fang Zheng stared at the boy again.

"I understand that you don't want to leave your mother, so you stay here. However, you still have to make a choice in the end. And once you make a choice, you have to bear the consequences."

“…”

"Then make your choice."

Looking at the boy in front of him, Fang Zheng looked like a devil from hell, preparing for the final judgment.

"Should we continue to play this illusory game until everything falls apart, or should we let the whole family go to heaven together, or should we let them let go of their pain and start a new life?"

At this moment, Cui Xingshi and Cang Xingshi did not dare to breathe. Although Fang Zheng's tone was relaxed and his expression was quite calm, for some reason, they felt a feeling from Fang Zheng that they had never experienced before. They were extremely nervous. So the two puppets stared at Yishu anxiously, waiting for his final decision.

In the end, Yishu disappeared into space without saying a word.

"Human, what you just said was too vicious."

At this moment, Cuixingshi finally recovered, carefully pulled the corner of Fangzheng's clothes and complained.

"Someone has to play the villain, and I'm telling the truth. Even if Cang Xingshi is willing to play the role of grandpa's son for the rest of his life, what will happen to him in the end? Do you still need to arrange his funeral?"

“…”

Faced with Fang Zheng's venomous tongue, Cang Xingshi opened his mouth, but finally lowered his head dejectedly.

“Boom boom boom…”

At this moment, the ground suddenly began to tremble again, and then the light curtain around them suddenly shattered, and then a withered garden appeared in front of the three people. The whole garden looked unusually deserted, and the tree in the middle of the garden was bound by thorns and vines, and its leaves were almost all withered and yellow.

"That's Granny's Heart Tree!"

"Then it's your job now."

Fang Zheng took a step back and made a gesture, while Cui Xingshi and Cang Xingshi looked at each other and nodded.

"Water Dream!"

"Langbi Ka!"

Along with the two people's calls, two spots of light, one green and one blue, emerged from their hands, and then turned into a watering can and a pair of large scissors. Then Cang Xingshi gripped the scissors tightly, took a step forward, and chopped down the dead tree in front of him. Then the thorns and vines wrapped around the trunk were broken one after another.

Then Cuixingshi raised the watering can high up, and the next moment water sprayed out from it, pouring on the roots of the big tree. After a while, the originally dry tree grew fresh branches and leaves. Although it has not fully recovered, but as of now, this big tree that was about to wither has regained its livelihood and vitality.

"ha……!"

Seeing this scene, Cui Xingshi and Cang Xingshi both smiled happily, and at the same time, the boy's ghost appeared in front of them again. He stared at the three of them and then spoke.

"Please tell Mom and Dad that I will always be with them..."

After saying this, the boy's ghost gradually faded and then disappeared.

"Well, it looks like our mission is over."

He clapped his hands, looked around at the garden that had regained its vitality, then looked towards the Green Star Stone and spoke.

"Let's go back."

Not long after everyone left the dream world and returned to reality, the old grandmother who had been sleeping soundly finally opened her eyes. The old grandfather who came after hearing the news cried for joy when he saw this scene - Fang Zheng did not want to get involved in the affairs of this family and directly let Cui Xingshi take him home.

"I never thought you could actually do it..."

Looking at Fang Zheng with a complicated expression, Cui Xingshi didn't know what to say. Although Cang Xingshi still didn't come with her, at least now Cang Xingshi should not be abused.

"This is just a small thing. I'm used to it."

“Humans…”

Seeing Fang Zheng planning to go back to rest, Cui Xingshi hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth to ask.

"Were you trying to scare the child with those words you said before?"

"How is that possible?"

Facing Cui Xingshi's question, Fang Zheng shook his head again.

"I told you, if you make a choice you have to bear the consequences, and the consequences he faces are nothing more than those. To be honest, I personally don't like to just rely on big talk. Sometimes, the cold and cruel reality is the most effective."

"Wow... You're not that old, but you sound like an old man when you speak."

"Haha, maybe I'll live longer than you."

Facing Cui Xingshi's complaint, Fang Zheng chuckled, then turned around, lay back on the bed and started reading.

Cui Xingshi stared at Fang Zheng, hesitated for a long time, then quietly approached and pushed him.

"Human."

"Um?"

“Uh… that…”

Seeing Fang Zheng turning his head to look at her, Cui Xingshi blushed.

"Um... Anyway, thank you. No matter what, you helped me and Cang Xingshi, so..."

As he spoke, Cui Xingshi raised his left hand and turned away with a red face.

"So...it's not impossible for me to make a contract with you..."
