Chapter 171 The Power of Dream God
"Xia Xiaoyu, Xia Xiaoyu, wake up! Xia Xiaoyu!"
Xia Xiaoyu felt dizzy and opened her eyes suddenly. She saw Su Ming squatting beside her, patting her cheeks.
Xia Xiaoyu blinked and reached out to touch Su Ming's body... It was warm, and Su Ming's eyes were not red, but clearly black and white, very healthy.
"What's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?" Su Ming helped her up and leaned her against the stone next to her.
Xia Xiaoyu stared at Su Ming, her expression still a little dazed. She recalled the feeling of touching Su Ming in her dream. It was so real and did not seem like a dream at all.
"Just now I dreamed that you died. You were killed by the poison in my body."
"You're overthinking it. Although I can't guarantee that I can block the toxins of the Corruptor and Plaguebringer, I am immune to the Infected or other viruses that can't kill people in a short time." Su Ming said, "So don't worry."
Xia Xiaoyu slowly raised her hands; her hands were still trembling slightly due to the remaining fear, and her body was still shaking.
It’s… so true.
"I've heard of a kind of dream called lucid dreaming. The dreamer can have clear thinking and memory abilities in the dream. Some people can even make their dreams no different from the real world, but they will know that they are in a dream... and I didn't feel like I was in a dream just now." Xia Xiaoyu murmured to himself.
Su Ming's expression suddenly became serious. Xia Xiaoyu's dream should not be a coincidence, but was influenced by the God of Dreams.
"Perhaps I have been influenced by the God of Dreams." Xia Xiaoyu looked at Su Ming.
Su Ming nodded, indicating that he thought so too.
Before, it may be because they were near Alice, so they were not affected by the God of Dreams. Now that Alice is with Flora and has lost Alice's abnormal immunity, the opponent took advantage of the opportunity.
Now, first of all, we need to know, does this kind of dream occur every time we fall asleep, or only occasionally?
If you dream about it every time, it would be very dangerous.
"Although the other party can manipulate our dreams, it doesn't seem to have any substantial impact. I feel pretty good now." Xia Xiaoyu said, "What is the purpose of the God of Dreams? What effect does it want to achieve by making us dream?"
"I'm not sure, but we must be vigilant. Its impact may not be apparent for the time being, but if we continue to let it interfere with our sleep, bad things will definitely happen," said Su Ming.
There is one thing that Su Ming is very concerned about. If he is also affected by the God of Dreams, then will his super intuition take effect in his sleep?
Su Ming recalled his past dreams. When he dreamed in the past, he never felt that the things in his dreams were fake.
Based on past experience, psychics cannot discover that they are dreaming. Occasionally, they can realize that it is a dream, but they cannot control their actions.
"Let's take turns sleeping. At least when one person is dreaming and can't wake up, the other can wake him up." Xia Xiaoyu suggested.
Su Ming nodded slightly: "It's a good idea. This is the only way for now. We will travel during the day and start sleeping as soon as the sun sets. One of us will sleep in the first half of the night and the other in the second half. This should keep us energetic."
"We must reunite with Flora as soon as possible. Without Alice, something bad will happen sooner or later." Xia Xiaoyu said.
Seeing that Su Ming was still wearing only a grass skirt, her cheeks flushed slightly. She reached out from storage box No. 7 and took out a long windbreaker and threw it to Su Ming.
"Here, wear this first. The only coat I can give you is this one. I don't think you will fit into the others."
Su Ming put on his windbreaker and lay down beside the campfire. The windbreaker gave off a faint fragrance under the heat of the flames, the same smell as Xia Xiaoyu's hair.
At this moment, Su Ming was glad that he brought Xia Xiaoyu into the white fog. If it weren't for her, he would be wearing a grass skirt, half asleep and half awake in the dark corner of the cave.
The flames in front of him were twisting and flickering. The charcoal made crackling sounds in the flames. Su Ming's consciousness began to become hazy. Occasionally, he heard the sound of Xia Xiaoyu poking the fire with a wooden stick. Then, he heard a noisy sound.
The noise became louder and louder. Gradually, Su Ming could distinguish the voices of various people inside: Flora's, Xia Xiaoyu's, Sylvie's, everyone was talking.
Su Ming raised his head blankly, drooling all over the table. There was neither Flora nor Xia Xiaoyu around, but Sylvie was sitting opposite him.
The computer screen in front of him displayed the matters he needed to deal with today. Sylvie opposite him was typing away on the keyboard as usual, occasionally taking a folder to look through it. The bitter smell of coffee wafted in the air, and everything was the same as any other morning.
When Xi Wei saw Su Ming wake up, she raised a tiny arc at the corner of her mouth and said, "You woke up just in time. You did a great job this time. Congratulations on your promotion!"
Su Ming stared at the other person blankly and asked blankly, "What promotion?"
"Of course you were promoted to district chief. You cleared out monsters like Bai Wu. Everyone can see your strength. Arthur is no match for you. He has withdrawn voluntarily and expressed his gratitude to you publicly." Sylvie gave Su Ming her signature mysterious smile, but this time it was gentler. "You didn't disappoint me."
"Really? Thank you for the compliment, Minister." Su Ming scratched his head embarrassedly.
He remembered that he had broken the white fog. After defeating the Plague Messenger, he defeated the Corruptor. Together with Flora and Xia Xiaoyu, he finally defeated a dreamer and discovered the truth about the white fog.
After defeating the dreamer, they happened to encounter a cloud of white fog and returned to the real world.
They were the only group of sane people who came out of the white fog. After they brought out the intelligence, the alliance attached great importance to it and sent a large number of specialists into the white fog to suppress that alien world. It is said that most of the residents in the white fog world have been controlled now.
The current achievements are all due to the intelligence he brought out.
Su Ming recalled the information in his mind and a smile appeared on his face.
Suddenly, Su Ming's expression froze.
He felt a subtle sense of disharmony, an indescribable, unreal feeling.
What's going on?
"Su Ming! Come out with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."
Another voice interrupted Su Ming's thoughts. Flora stood at the vent of the office, waved at Su Ming with a bright smile on her face.
"Minister, I'm going to go out for a while."
"Go ahead, you have a long vacation, relax." Sylvie said with a smile.
As Su Ming walked out of the office, Flora said, "I brought Milo to Dongyang Island. The family agreed to my request! Thanks to you, I was able to get a promotion!"
"Congratulations." Su Ming didn't know how to respond, but he was happy for Flora from the bottom of his heart.
"Oh, by the way, Milo still needs treatment, right?" Su Ming asked.
Flora shook her head: "I don't know why, but Milo's condition is much more stable now. There is no need to take risks for the time being. Eating the most ordinary spiritual salt every day can control the condition."
"That's great. It seems like you're getting better." Su Ming said with emotion.
Flora nodded, lowered her head, held Su Ming's hand, and said sincerely: "Thank you, thank you for everything so far!"
"I didn't do anything, there's no need to be like this." Su Ming felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to pull his hand back.
Flora stared at Su Ming with her emerald green eyes. Her eyes were like an overflowing lake after a summer thunderstorm, reflecting magical light. They were breathtakingly beautiful and made people unable to look away.
The sunlight coming in from the window shone on Flora's pale face, and a blush appeared on her pale cheeks.
Flora hesitated for a while, her pink lips slightly opened, and she mustered up the courage to say, "If...if you don't mind! Can you date me with the purpose of getting married? This time...I'm serious!"
Su Ming stood there in a daze, opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer, and thought of Xia Xiaoyu.
Oh, right! Where is Xia Xiaoyu? Where is she now?
"Su Ming, why are you still here? I've been waiting for you outside for half an hour! It's not gentlemanly to keep a lady waiting for so long. Ah...what are you doing! Why is Flora holding your hand! Didn't you agree to my proposal yesterday? Do you want to go back on your word?"
Xia Xiaoyu trotted over and asked in surprise.
"No , how is that possible! Things are not what you think!" Su Ming defended himself while recalling what Xia Xiaoyu said in his mind.
That's right, Xia Xiaoyu proposed to him yesterday. Although it is not nice to let a girl propose, since it was Xia Xiaoyu, it doesn't really matter. No matter who proposes to whom, it is a one-man show between the two of them. As long as they are sure that they like each other, they don't need to care about other things.
Thinking of this, that strange feeling reappeared in Su Ming's mind - that unreal feeling.
Su Ming blinked and looked around. Employees from the Investigation Bureau were coming and going, and everything seemed normal. Not far away were lockers for storing express items, and on the left was the front desk that received visitors' inquiries. The girl at the front desk was flipping through a copy of "The Complete Works of Weird Things" leisurely, as usual.
It's normal... Everything is normal, everything is the same as usual.
But, vaguely, it always makes people feel uneasy.
"Hey! What are you thinking about!" Xia Xiaoyu walked forward and separated Flora and Su Ming's hands. She gently pinched Su Ming's cheek, forcing him to lower his head and look at her. " Why you look dazed? Did you take a nap in the office just now?"
"Yes, I slept for a while." Su Ming admitted honestly.
"Huh - I really can't do anything about you. If it was someone else, I would have been angry a long time ago, but since it's you, it's a different matter.
Well, say goodbye to Flora! We should go take wedding photos. I have picked out the style I like and I want you to see it. "
"Xiaoyu, I always feel like something is wrong." Su Ming grabbed Xia Xiaoyu who was about to leave.
