Turning the pointer back slightly, when Gongsun Ce in the dream stepped into the apartment building, he was not idle in reality either.
"——!"
The air vibrated, explosions resounded, and invisible power raged around the young man, threatening to smash all the furniture in the hall before his eyes. The sleeping gray-haired young man never imagined that his superpower would become restless after falling asleep.
Shigure Reiichi knew the origin of this phenomenon.
The dragon's power does not come from itself. When they fall asleep on weekdays, their consciousness only lingers in shallow dreams, and they never truly lose control of their bodies and minds. And when the dragon species truly falls into a dream and shrinks his consciousness...
The ability that used to be like an arm's length will gradually lose control.
Yan Qi wiped his mouth.
"Watch it, boy Shigure. This kid's mild rampage can be dealt with using this trick..."
He drew a symbol on the palm of his hand with a pen, but it was not the square or five-pointed symbol that Yan Qi usually used, but a modified star-shaped coat of arms belonging to a certain knight. Yan Qi raised his hand and pressed Gongsun Ce's heart, and read out a fluent common language: "The creator who pursues the truth, the dawn star who drives away the dark night. In the name of justice, righteousness and morality, please use your own aura, Guide this person out of confusion, help him stay away from the abyss of evil, and give him the protection of the right path!"
The superpower that was about to go berserk calmed down instantly. Yan Qi slowly raised his hand, and the crest on his palm had disappeared.
Reiichi Shigure, who was watching, could not hide his astonishment. As an expert, he had too many questions that he wanted to ask. But the task at this time was not to delve into his friend's past. He suppressed many thoughts and only said: "I remember, Mr. Yan."
"You're not stupid." Yan Qi sat down on the sofa, "Let's see if he can do it in one go."
"After successfully falling into a dream, it is not difficult to find the aura."
Yan Qi said gloomily: "Nonsense, it will only be troublesome after you find it."

I feel a little embarrassed to suddenly bring up this topic...
Have you ever had the experience of being spied on while taking a shower?
Or, the experience of being caught while changing clothes?
The above are common "welfare" plots in some comics. Readers will smile knowingly after reading them, and the characters will blush and yell twice before letting it go.
but……
What if these events happened in reality?
That would be bad.
I am afraid that the one who is seen will be very unhappy and even fall into rage. In many areas, this is sufficient reason to go to court, file a lawsuit, and make the snooping party pay the price. The whole picture of Gein's body is personal and private. For some people, the invasion of privacy is more barbaric than physical violence, more excessive... and intolerable.
However, the body that is so valued is not the most private place. Humanity also holds another secret. A place that is completely isolated from physical means of exploration and that only you can know and touch.
soul.
The soul is hidden deep inside the body, invisible and intangible. No matter how others use violence to coerce, they cannot touch the realm that does not exist. There is everything that belongs to human beings there, and there is a side that they would never show to the outside world...
Therefore, the depths of the soul are the real privacy.
If someone is peeping here, the emotions the person involved will have may be ten times, or even a hundred times more intense than when someone is peeping in the real world...
"roll!
"
In the dream, Gongsun Ce, who was wearing black hair and black clothes, screamed hysterically: "Get out! You are not allowed to run into the depths of my heart without authorization... You are not qualified!
! "
The almost crazy anger comes from an unprecedented sense of shame.
Deep in a person's heart is a place that even he himself cannot truly understand.
Through communication and collision, others can enter the hearts of others. But in the depths of my heart, only myself can step in. It is a place where even parents and loved ones are automatically isolated. It cannot be trampled on, it belongs to its own sacred territory. This has surpassed any "privacy" in the physical sense and is the most private and private place a person can have.
Dreaming is a way of going deep into the soul, and the bottom layer of the dream is a manifestation of the depth of the soul. Now the depths of his soul have been stepped upon by others, occupied by others who have nothing to do with him. It's like a gangster has stepped into the secret base of childhood, like the most precious diary has been peeked into by others, like every part of the body has been clearly seen...furious, shocked and unbelievable. It swept through the young man's brain and made him lose his mind in an instant.
"how dare you!
! "
The silver-haired woman said nothing, just looked at him quietly. Gongsun Ce's voice became hoarse. He stretched out his right hand ferociously, trying to strangle the woman's neck. Only halfway, his left hand grabbed her wrist.
"You are also a figment of my imagination." Gongsun Ce gasped, "Just like Big Brother and the others, they are hallucinations that appeared from my memory."
Alandia finally spoke. Her voice was calm and calm, without any personal bias, and she only stated the facts she knew. She was at two extremes from Gongsun Ce.
"I am not an illusion." Dawn Knight said calmly, "I am the power given to you by Airandia."
A pure white substance appeared in the hand of the silver-haired woman. She closed her hands and the white substance disappeared instantly, just like Gongsun Ce usually did.
Gongsun Ce was speechless. He wanted to tell himself that this was also a hallucination, something like his inner demons, symptoms of psychosis, or the embodiment of negative emotions. But the friends he imagined all had completely different appearances from reality, with his unique prejudices in them. Even Mo Yuankai hid his body in the shadows.
But the Alandia in front of me was different. She kept her original appearance, spoke the same words, and used the power that belonged to her.
Islandia was not his fantasy.
Airandia wouldn't lie to him.
The black-haired Gongsun Ce sat on the small bed in despair, as if he had lost all the strength in his body.
"...Why are you here? You should stay somewhere further outside. Only I can get in here."
The Dawn Knight sat back at his desk.
"Ce, you put me here yourself." She pointed out the truth sharply, "because..."
"I don't want to hear it, shut up."
Gongsun Ce responded rudely, without caring about any etiquette or friendship. He had completely forgotten about searching for inspiration. There were more important things waiting for him to solve. He had to calm this woman down, preferably get her out. Because the Dawn Knight can always find out all the truth. Including the deepest secrets he hides in his heart.
He thought about what to say and what to do.
He should first let Alandia go out for the sake of etiquette, and then find the aura in the shortest possible time, so as to stay away from this place completely, and never see her again. She is just the embodiment of power, not the woman in his memory. He had no reason to respect a body of pure power.
Gongsun Ce thought about his opening remarks: Please understand my rudeness, and please go out first. He took a deep breath, raised his head, met the woman's eyes, and said, "...I'm sorry."
Gongsun Ce was stunned. He couldn't say the opening line he had in mind, but he unconsciously revealed his true feelings.
"I'm sorry, Miss Airandia. You understand how I feel..."
"I understand." The silver-haired woman nodded, "I'm sorry."
She apologized, which made Gongsun Ce even more uncomfortable.
"No. It's not your fault. I can't control my emotions, and I still am. I shouldn't have yelled at you. I...I have always used your power, you saved me many times, I... …”
He covered his head in pain: "...I miss you very much."
He tried to make some witty remarks to brighten the mood, but as before he was at a loss for words. How could he be like this? Where are his etiquette, his lies, and his words? How could Gongsun Ce be so incompetent that he couldn't even control his own words...
Suddenly he knew the reason. This is the depth of his soul, and he cannot deceive himself.
"Ce, I also miss the time when we acted together." Alandia said simply, "And now you should look for the secret deep in your heart."
The Dawn Knight opened the desk drawer without asking the owner of the house for his opinion. She pulled out a large book as tall as a person from the drawer, and its thickness far exceeded the storage capacity of the small drawer.
There are three big characters written in pencil on the cover: "Gongsun Ce".
Gongsun Ce opened the first page with his own hands. Hidden in the big book was another big book. The cover of this book read: "Help all people with superpowers achieve freedom."
He opened the second book tremblingly and saw a slightly smaller volume with the words: "Protect Everyone's Lives."
Gongsun Ce's actions are getting faster and faster, and there is a new book hidden behind each book: "Prevent Disaster from Coming", "Defend Fairness and Justice", "Imitate Big Brother's Actions", "Don't Cause Trouble to Everyone"... until Finally, he saw an extremely small book.
This is a handmade hardcover book with a dark gray cover made of leather. There are gilding lines on the corners. The curvature of the book ridge is perfect. When you open the cover, you can also see the lining made of wet rubbings. But there is not a single word on the cover, no author, and no title.
Gongsun Ce took out the small book. He turned over the pages of the book, which was of excellent quality, and didn't see a single word until the last page.
All the paper was blank, nothing was written in the book, it was a beautifully decorated waste.
Meaningless.
Gongsun Ce's hands trembled. He asked in an almost pleading tone: "I'm not at the deep end yet, am I? Is this... I guess... a fantasy like a torch like that?"
The Dawn Knight looked at him quietly without saying a word. Gongsun Ce became more and more restless. He didn't even know why he couldn't calm down: "Don't make fun of Miss Airandia at this time. I suggested you not to be so serious, but this... such evil nature Jokes don’t suit you!”
Arlandia finally responded to him and gave a brief conclusion.
"This is the deepest part."
How to explain this? There is aura and nature in the deepest part of the dream, and in this book... Gongsun Ce tapped the cover of the wordless book anxiously and shouted like a child: "There is nothing in this book! There is nothing!"
"
He threw the wordless book aside and carefully examined the huge book cases wrapped around it, hoping to find out the real contents. But he was disappointed. Those things were not even books, just gorgeous empty shells.
Gongsun Ce pushed all the book cases to the ground and sat back on the bed.
"……ha."
He scratched his head with both hands and chuckled softly.
He figured it out. He has carefully prepared so many layers of clothing and so many reasons for himself. When someone feels something is wrong, he just needs to take out another book from "deeper". Each book looks very thick, enough to carry a person's life. . His disguise was so exquisite that no one could have imagined that after peeling off so many layers of shell and breaking so many surfaces, what he would end up with would be another fake book.
He even deceived himself. Whenever he had some thoughts of self-doubt, he would immediately pull out the cover of one of the books and read it, so that he could feel at ease and go about his daily life with peace of mind...
I can't hide it now. I can't hide it no matter what. Even if he tries to deceive himself again, the Dawn Knight will never forget the truth.
"Hey hey hey."
He shrugged his shoulders and laughed shrilly.
"Hey hey hey, woo woo hoo, hahahahahahahaha!"
Gongsun Ce's laughter was so sharp that it almost pierced his own eardrums. He patted his thighs, laughed to tears, and spoke while leaning forward and backward.
"It seems that I have no aura, Miss Airandia! I have nothing, hahahaha!"
Gongsun Ce felt that his emotions were extremely excited and exaggerated, much stronger than in the real world. But he feels that this is normal, this is the reaction that people should have, and it is the most real emotion in the human heart after abandoning all complicated and superfluous restraints. Then he felt more at ease, shook his cloak and laughed loudly.
"Look at how beautiful this book looks, just like my outfit. I'm such a clown... What am I doing with my life?"
The laughter shook the building, and everything in the field of vision trembled. Outside the window, there was a strong wind, the sky was filled with dust, and the black sun in the sky shone brighter and brighter.
He seemed to awaken something in his heart, something sharper than laughter, as if a big fish hidden in the sea of sand had bitten the hook and was about to be picked up by the fisherman in the sky and revealed from the depths of the yellow sand. full picture. The power that brought about destruction is coming out now to help him get out of his predicament!
He was sincerely happy. Great, this is where he belongs.
This is the ending that suits him best.

In reality, Yan Qi cursed loudly.
"Fuck, it resonated even before I found the aura's terminal sword!"
