"Don't sell me out," he said.
Whose voice? In a daze, I can check my thoughts.
"Don't sell me out," the voice continued, calmly. "I'll be worth a lot of money though."
"Nesis?" Yicha heard the voice and tried to sit up, but he only felt like he was turning half a circle in the darkness.
He reached for it - and when he came, he brought Nesis's dream with him.
There was nothing in his arms, he didn't even touch his chest.
The darkness was not illuminated, and it seemed that he was already in a dream.
Yi Cha did not act rashly to break the dream.
"Don't sell me," Nesis said again.
"Are you talking to me?" Yi Cha asked after thinking about it.
"Yes. I said you."
Yi Cha rubbed his brow and thought for two seconds, finally understanding what Nesis meant.
Rare dreams are extremely valuable to dragons and djinn, and the dreams of the Omniscient Eye can be exchanged for large sums of treasures in the Dream Maker Cradle.
The dragons are currently experiencing the loss of dreams. This rare dream should be more precious here than the nectar in the desert.
Thinking of this, he was completely awake and looking around.
The darkness of this dream was not without gaps. After turning around, I saw a small dot of golden light shining in the distance.
"You actually worry about such a thing."
He flapped his wings and drifted towards the golden star. "It really surprised me that he was even worried enough to show consciousness to me."
"It's natural, I have to prioritize survival."
"So what if I sell this dream? You are the combined force of the belief in seeking knowledge. As long as this power exists, your existence will one day be united again."
"really."
"Hibernate. Then rise again. This is what you have done before. Why did you deliberately interfere with the process of destiny this time? If I sell you, even if this dream is disintegrated, you will still come back, because the combined force of seeking knowledge will always exist."
"You're right," Nesis said, "but not this time, every time."
The golden star turned into a golden branch, then a golden thin pillar, and finally revealed its original appearance: an inch of golden light shining through the door.
Yi Cha stood outside the door and did not go in immediately.
"Every time?" he asked.
"Every time," Nesis said, "Every time I deliberately interfere with the course of fate."
"What you said is completely different from what others said."
"Others?"
Yi Cha peeked inside along the crack in the door. Against the pure black background is the white desert, and there is a golden back in the desert - the golden light radiates from there.
Just looking at it made my eyes sting, my head buzzed, and my whole face almost burned.
Yi Cha quickly dodged to the side, stared into the darkness with soothing eyes, and rubbed his face with one hand.
"Those guys who like to talk about fate." He pressed his face and waited for the heat to subside. "You know. Your old poker buddies, Lan Lewen, Ruimu Gange, the Featherless One, and some new ones are betting on the side. They are all emphasizing fate and mission to me."
Nesis snorted.
After a long time, he asked in a very soft voice: "Why don't you come in?"
"I think this is good." Yi Cha put down his hands and said simply, "We haven't gotten to the point where we don't need to maintain social distance."
"You are really good at talking nonsense." Nesis's voice was clear and flat - it was impossible to tell whether there was room for humor in it. "You are afraid. You are afraid of being swallowed up by me and becoming a puppet of my trust."
"Aren't you going to do this?"
"That's what you think."
"Is my idea not correct enough?"
Nesis didn't answer for a while. Yi Cha realized that the continuous questioning just now was indeed a bit hasty.
Since Nesis appears as a fully embodied ideology, he may have a corresponding temper and character—there is indeed the possibility of angering him.
"I would say, that is becoming a god." Fortunately, Nesis only paused for a short while and then said slowly, "Your field of vision will be a thousand times wider than it is now."
"Great. It's a pity that I can't get in. Your golden light is going to burn me." Normally, Yi Cha would match it with a smile, but at this moment, the smile can be dispensed with.
"This is the all-seeing light that can transform you."
"Since you have all-seeing consciousness, why not tell me what you know. I have some questions that I need your answers to. Thank you for meeting me.
By the way, I'm just fine sitting here. "
Yi Cha sat down out of thin air in the darkness.
Nesis sighed softly.
"You are indeed the life closest to me." He said, "Your thoughts...are almost exactly the same as mine."
"Now you know how annoying I am." Yi Cha laughed.
"I don't hate you."
Nesis's voice remained calm. "Instead, I need connection between you and me. I won't pass up this opportunity to connect. So, don't trade me away."
"I won't."
"Really? It seems like I was worried for nothing."
"You're not worried."
Yi Cha suddenly stopped laughing and said, "Stop talking. When you mentioned the 'Faith Puppet', I knew you weren't worried.
Since you already know that I have such a concept, you know that I will not agree to your request to become a god.
You also know that we have similar ideas, so I will not trade you out - after all, you suddenly showed me full consciousness for other purposes.
So, what do you want to do? "
"I have to make a request first before it can be rejected, right?" Nesis, whose intention was exposed, did not panic, but his voice was mixed with a smile, "Step into this golden light and become me."
"No."
"Why?"
"Because you are not me, and I am not you. I don't know you well enough, so how can I give in to your will? Moreover, you are not as omniscient as you said.
Judging from the cyclical competition between you and Lan Lewin, you are in a low period of being suppressed. Now that I am one with you, I am afraid it will only make the means to solve the problem less and the power weaker. "
"you're right."
Nesis paused for a moment.
"I don't even know how to refute you, Chaint Sinkardstu," he added.
The tone contained the intention of ending the topic.
The golden light shining through the gap flashed - something was released from the slightly open door that separated Yicha from the pale desert.
The door quickly closed again.
The door is completely closed. But the thing remained outside - a golden sheep.
Yi took a look at the closed door and reached out to touch the sheep's head.
A sudden sensation of falling seized him.
Five seconds later, Yi Cha woke up from his dream.
The silk sheets were scorched with lava-like sweat, and the air was filled with the smell of paste. He bounced.
There were charred silk embers stuck to his back, and the lamp lit by the illumination spell had gone out.
But something still glowed in a corner of the dark room.
Icha touched his arms and found Nesis's dream ball lying peacefully in its original place. He stood up and approached the glowing thing, bending down.
The same golden sheep as in the dream lowered its head and rubbed his hand.
