Chapter 451 Don’t learn from me, little cousin
"I think the way to get out of the loop is to get people to take the initiative to do something they haven't done before in the loop!"
Night fell...or should I say evening time. Sun Yu took Li Qi and Li Qiao to another small room, lit candles, and whispered with his cousins.
Li Qi asked curiously, "Why do you think so?"
“That’s how it’s played out in the movies.”
Sun Yu blinked his eyes and said with confidence.
After all, she is a contemporary college student. She has watched many movies and TV series about cycles. Even if she has not seen pork, she has seen pigs running. If there is no other way, she can apply the methods in movies and TV series in reality, which is also a solution.
Li Qi and Li Qiao looked at each other. Li Qiao didn't know what was going on yet and gave Li Qi a confused look. Li Qi shook his head at her and then said to Sun Yu, "Sister Sun Yu, have you ever thought of another possibility?"
"What?"
"So maybe we're dreaming?"
“…”
As soon as these words came out, Sun Yu was stunned on the spot.
Li Qiao's expression suddenly changed and he looked around fiercely.
The space seemed to begin to change, and everything seemed to be transitioning towards an unreal state. Thinking of what Li Qi had just said, she suddenly understood everything and looked at Sun Yu meaningfully.
Sun Yu's eyes were empty, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. She said, "How could this be a dream? This all seems so real..."
When she said this, it was like an NPC in a game, speaking pre-set lines.
There is no emotion, only mechanical and cold.
Li Qi was silent for a moment before he spoke:
"…That's true. How can reality be a dream?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the distorted space around them gradually recovered, and the walls turned from transparent to solid. The world that was previously shaky and about to break apart now became extremely stable.
Sun Yu's smile became even brighter. She showed a clear and innocent smile and raised her hand to pat Li Qi's shoulder:
"Really? Don't scare me anymore. I really thought this was a dream."
“…”
Li Qi didn't say anything, just watched Sun Yu patting his chest and talking to himself.
The best way to make a person wake up from a dream is to make her realize that she is dreaming.
But what if this person knows it is a dream, but still intends to indulge in the dream? In that case, Li Qi has no other choice but to kill the person in the dream and force him to wake up.
But...as Old Wu said, shattering a person's dream is a very cruel thing.
Especially the dream of a dying person.
Therefore, after persuading him, Li Qi no longer mentioned anything related to dreams. He turned into Sun Yu's guide and began to help Sun Yu and everyone break the "cycle" in the dream.
Because this is Sun Yu's dream, everything revolves around Sun Yu, so as long as Sun Yu thinks she can do it, she will definitely be able to do it.
The time in the dream seemed to speed up all of a sudden. After Sun Yu's memory of the cycle was "recovered", he seemed to have become the protagonist in the movie.
She actively contacted everyone living in the village in her dream, talked with them, and found out what they wanted and what regrets they had.
Then, through your own efforts, make these people do things that are inconsistent with the cycle.
Then, just as she said herself, the cycle of these people was broken, and more and more people began to recover their memories during the cycle period.
During this period, Li Qi and Li Qiao were like NPCs following Sun Yu. They would give Sun Yu some suggestions from time to time, but they would not take away Sun Yu's "highlight moments".
Everything is like a TV drama script, the dream world is gradually moving towards the finale of family reunion.
“Is this okay…?”
As the story was about to end, Li Qiao couldn't help but ask Li Qi.
Although it is not good to shatter the sweet dreams of a dying person, Li Qiao felt a little reluctant when she saw Sun Yu happily indulging in his last dream.
Anyway, if it were Li Qiao, she would rather die knowing the truth than disappear in a daze without knowing anything.
Li Qi only responded with one sentence:
"You are not a fish, so how can you know the joy of a fish?"
"Too……"
Li Qiao sighed softly and said no more.
Li Qi looked at Sun Yu who was holding a bonfire party with everyone in the distance, and whispered to Li Qiao: "It's almost over, sister, you go back first, I'll be here."
The reason why he asked Li Qiao to come out to help was because he needed someone to cover his child's body.
Now that everything is coming to an end and it is understood that there are almost no living people except Sun Yu, Li Qiao's work can also come to an end.
She can return to the warm and sunny dream town to rest without having to stay in the cold and dark reality.
Li Qiao nodded, said nothing, and turned and left.
…
Happy times are always short.
No matter how much you want to keep this happy time, it will pass by mercilessly until the end of happiness.
Sun Yu is happy.
Even in the snowy mountains, in the end of the world without sunlight, Sun Yu was happy.
Because she was with her family and friends, enjoying a rare relaxing life in the doomsday.
If possible, Sun Yu wanted this kind of time to continue forever, over and over again, in a cycle, until the moment his soul dies.
but……
“…That’s enough.”
Sitting in front of the fire, Sun Yu raised his head to look at the bright night sky and spoke softly.
Such a beautiful night sky does not exist in reality. This night sky comes from Sun Yu’s own fantasy.
Therefore, when Sun Yu realized that her ideas could change the world, she had already figured everything out.
She just refused to admit it.
But now, Sun Yu felt that it was enough.
"Are you satisfied?"
Li Qi sat next to her, sipping the bowl of hot mutton soup made by Sun Yu's mother, and asked softly.
Sun Yu nodded, then shook his head: "Not satisfied, maybe I will never be satisfied."
"Then you are really greedy."
"Yeah, I'm just greedy."
Sun Yu exhaled and watched the mist he exhaled dissipate in the air: "Or... I'm unwilling to accept it."
I am unwilling to be separated from my family like this, and I am unwilling to let my life end here.
Obviously, she should have a good life, maybe a very ordinary one, with some minor ups and downs, or maybe one day she suddenly had the opportunity to make a fortune.
But no matter what, it shouldn't be like this, quietly welcoming the end of one's life in the snow and ice.
She shouldn't be like this, and the world shouldn't be like this.
Sun Yu held the mutton soup made by her mother in her hands. She seemed to see herself in the mutton soup.
That monster-like spider.
After staring at the reflection in the soup bowl for a while, Sun Yu put his lips close to it and drank the hot mutton soup.
Li Qi also imitated her, drank up the mutton soup and exhaled slowly.
Then he heard Sun Yu say: "But I think it's enough. It would be better if you didn't come to disturb me."
"Even without us, you will understand everything in the end."
"Maybe." Sun Yu did not comment. She stood up and looked at her friends and relatives gathered in the distance, then turned around and looked at the darkness farther away.
She slowly raised her hand and pointed to the depths of the darkness: "I know what you are looking for. What you are looking for should be here, but not in reality, but in a dream."
Li Qi looked into the distance following her finger, and could only see darkness.
Li Qi asked, "Why are you sure?"
"Because when I was weaving the dream, the relic you were looking for had not 'gone far'. I could still feel it. It was not until I sank into the dream that I lost its trace.
"And in my last memory, it disappeared in this direction."
"…walk away? Can the ruins move on their own?"
"You shouldn't ask me this. I don't know anything. I'm just an ordinary person who accidentally got something strange and thought he had a golden finger."
Sun Yu suddenly laughed when he said this: "I thought I would be the protagonist, but I didn't expect... I might be a passerby who can't even be considered a supporting role."
"You are already better than many ordinary people." Li Qi said something that could not be called comforting at all.
But I have to admit that what Li Qi said is right.
Compared to those ordinary people who died in confusion without even knowing what happened, Sun Yu at least possessed powers beyond the ordinary.
Even though this power came at the cost of her transformation, she at least had a nice dream at the end of her life.
Sun Yu smiled and said nothing.
Li Qi then asked: "Can I ask where you got your rare item?"
"Is this thing called a strange thing?" Sun Yu asked first, then said, "A special grocery store."
“…”
Another grocery store? Li Qi frowned slightly. Sun Yu continued, "It just appeared at the entrance of the village, but strangely no one saw it. I didn't want to take the risk to find out what was inside, but... I couldn't control myself."
Sun Yu recalled and whispered, "It was as if something was attracting me, making me want to go in and take a look. Then I went in and took the headscarf that looked like a spider web."
Sun Yu's experience was the same as Xu Leying and Xie Yan's. They all walked into the grocery store uncontrollably and chose the rare items that best suited them.
If we look at it this way, Sun Yu is obviously a person who has had some kind of adventure. If the price of dream weaving was not the deformation of the body, Sun Yu might really be able to survive.
Li Qi was wondering what the grocery store was when he heard Sun Yu say to him, "Go away. I don't want anyone awake to disturb your last sweet dream."
"Maybe I can save you."
Li Qi didn't move. He stared at Sun Yu and said.
Sun Yu's spirit and body are still there. If he can enter the dream town in this state, even if his body will gradually weaken, Sun Yu's spirit will be able to remain stable.
Even if possible, those people whose soul fragments were forcibly left by Sun Yu could survive in another form.
But unfortunately, Li Qi's rare kindness was rejected by Sun Yu:
"No, just let me drown in my sweet dreams. I don't want to face reality."
Sun Yu said the words to escape. She stood up, patted the snow off her butt, and walked towards the crowd in the distance. Finally, she said to Li Qi: "After I die, Dreamweaver will be handed over to you. You can use it however you want. Finally... don't learn from me, little cousin."
After she finished speaking, Li Qi's eyes changed.
He returned from his dream to reality.
