Chapter 83 83. Birth
"Mushroom, think about it. If this is truly a dream, wouldn't the correct approach be to throw you into a new environment, hide some of your memories, and make you completely unaware that you're dreaming? Wouldn't that be much easier?"
Hearing Xia Feng's words, Mushroom was stunned.
"That makes sense, doesn't it?"
"I" Mushroom opened his mouth and blinked his confused eyes. No, that's not right. Maybe this instrument can't hide my memory?
No, this isn't right! If it can't even be hidden, then this device is useless! The more she thought about it, the deeper her frown deepened. She felt like her brain was going to explode!
Seeing Mushroom's tangled expression, Xia Feng felt anxious for her and said helplessly, "Don't think too much, this is reality."
"I" Mushroom suddenly realized that she might have been overthinking, but she was also afraid that she was really in a dream.
She lowered her head in frustration.
"Have you thought it through?"
"I, I don't know. I can't tell the difference."
Xia Feng: “.”
The state of the mushroom made Xia Feng inexplicably think of a thought experiment called "Brain in a Vat".
The experiment envisions a scenario where a person's brain is placed in a tank filled with nutrient solution and connected to a supercomputer through nerve endings. The computer transmits information to the brain according to a preset program, allowing the brain to produce a completely real perceptual experience in the perfect, bug-free world simulated by the supercomputer.
So how does this person distinguish whether he is in a tank or in reality?
The answer is naturally——
There is no way to distinguish them at all. This is an assumption that cannot be proven.
So since I can't tell the difference, then I won't tell the difference! Xia Feng realized that sometimes there's really no need to think so much. He simply raised the knife across his neck with his backhand and smiled slightly:
"Let's get back to the basics, Mushroom. You don't want me to die, do you?"
"!" Mushroom's pupils suddenly shrank.
When she saw the slight bleeding on Xia Feng's neck due to the light touch of the blade, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, her face turned pale, and she immediately understood everything.
Yes, even if the probability that this was a dream was as high as 99% and Xia Feng was fake, she would not dare to bet on the remaining 1%.
So there was no need to think so much, let alone consider the consequences! She quickly shouted, "Okay, okay, okay! I admit it, I admit Yue Hongli is my mother, isn't that enough?"
"!" The prince was already getting impatient and was about to press the red button, but he didn't expect that the mushroom would give in as soon as Xia Feng swung his sword?!
He was immediately overjoyed, ecstatic, and smiling!
"Okay, okay, Xia Feng, you did a great job!" The prince grinned and looked at the woman in the red dress.
Xia Feng was startled and looked over at the same time.
The red-dressed woman slightly raised her fair chin, and the black ribbon on her glowing nose slowly disintegrated. Wow - in an instant, it turned into black air waves that spread out instantly!
At the same time, the entire space was visibly distorted, as if the air had substance and weight, and the three people present were suffocated.
"Buzz—"
Amidst the surging air waves, the fairy-like red skirt, untouched by dust, fluttered in the wind, her black hair danced wildly, and a hint of golden light emanated from the woman's slightly closed eyes.
In the glazed coffin, a woman in a phoenix-like robe also had golden light flowing from her eyes. She clasped her hands together, her alluring face meeting that of the woman in a red dress who was looking up from a distance. Swoosh—
The two of them suddenly opened their eyes at the same time, and their eyes were filled with golden light. Before Xia Feng and the others could figure out what was going on, the woman in the red dress instantly disintegrated into tiny pieces of red light and floated towards the glass coffin.
It disappeared into the eyes of the woman in fairy clothes.
At the same time, a dark golden cross mark appeared between her eyebrows, but it changed into a dark black ※ symbol in an instant. The light and dark flowed and twisted and changed repeatedly, making the woman's face look holy yet with an alluring charm.
Seeing this scene, the prince's breathing became more rapid. With trembling hands, he walked step by step towards the ice-blue glazed coffin against the layers of invisible air waves, staring at the woman in the coffin in fascination.
As if he had thought of something, he suddenly turned his head to look at the thoughts behind him and grinned: "I see, this is how it is. I suddenly understand what you want to do!"
"ah?"
"When the princess awakens and opens her eyes, her pupils will be filled with golden light. When the golden light fades, the first human she notices will be recognized as her master and used by her."
The prince looked at Xia Feng thoughtfully, "No wonder you suddenly changed your attitude. Are you looking for an opportunity to snatch the princess from me?"
Having said that, he chuckled and waved his hand. The boundless field barrier suddenly turned from transparent to black, blocking Xia Feng's sight.
The princess also cannot see the outside world.
To be on the safe side, the prince tilted the mushroom's cabin so that the princess could not see the mushroom.
This way, there would be no risk! The prince returned to the glass coffin with confidence, his eyes looking expectantly.
Xia Feng stood outside the barrier, his eyes twitching slightly. The prince was really cautious, but it was of no use.
When the prince told Xia Feng how to recognize his master, Xia Feng understood everything.
When the princess wakes up and opens her eyes, she will recognize the first person she notices as her master. He has actually experienced this before.
It was when I fell asleep for the second time!
The first time I dreamed, I was chased by a group of zombies and came to the outside of Pingshan Hospital. The second time I dreamed, I entered Pingshan Hospital and saw a woman trapped in a glass coffin.
He still clearly remembered the conversation in his dream.
"Are you my unborn wife?"
"Ah? I have a husband."
The woman's eyes were indeed filled with golden light at that time. When he approached, the golden light faded, revealing a pair of rose-red eyes, staring at him in surprise and curiosity.
It was probably at that time that he recognized his master, but the birth date had not arrived and the birth ceremony had not been completed, so he did not receive any information.
But this is very strange.
It's outrageous that this woman was able to skip the birth ceremony and directly meet someone in her dream to recognize her master!
The prince probably didn't realize that the birth ceremony was not a necessary condition for the master recognition ceremony, but a sufficient condition. The master recognition ceremony could be completed without the birth ceremony.
If the prince knew that such a thing existed, he would be furious.
The only two things that still puzzled Xia Feng were why it was him and how the princess did it.
After all, he saw that the princess in his dream looked confused and had no idea what was going on.
Just as Xia Feng's thoughts flashed through his mind, information emerged in his mind.
[The imaginary curse is broken, and the power of existence is recognized by the 'world'——]

"boom!!!"
The pitch-black boundless field shattered, and a column of terrifying golden light melted the roof and shot straight into the sky.
As the space distorted, Xia Feng saw the scene inside.
The ice-blue glazed pavilion gradually dissolved, and a woman in the divine phoenix robes, with her black hair fluttering, was placed in a column of pale golden light.
But the golden light in her eyes quietly dissipated, revealing her rose-red, foxy eyes, which blinked slightly and looked at the world curiously.
The prince grinned and forced himself to look happy as he walked forward. His figure came into the woman's sight, but the woman tilted her head slightly, seemed a little confused, and began to look around.
