This kind of hug is a little strange, but also a little familiar. After letting go, both of them had relaxed smiles on their faces.
"Thank you Sean - you took me out of the madhouse and into this life. I couldn't ask for a better gift.
"Come on, man. The world needs you."
Sean looked behind the moonlight at the brightly lit parade. Lian Na and their three children happened to pass by here. They stopped and waved to this side.
"You go first." Sean pointed, and the moonlight turned around and saw his family.
Sean watched him walk into the family, and watched them walk into the celebrating crowd, like a river flowing never to return.
Peace of mind, no worries. He turned back to the house and closed the door gently.
Looking around the place where he had lived for decades, he took a deep breath and put the Eternal Night Ark on his face.
Among the lively crowd, Moonlight turned back and looked at the hut. There was still candlelight shining through the window, as if Sean was still there.
"Why isn't Sean here?" Lina asked with a smile.
"He..." Yueguang hugged his wife and walked forward with the youngest child in the family, "He has more important things to do."

There was a moment of darkness, and the surrounding air became damp and cold. What I smelled through the mask was no longer the joyful smell of burning incense during the Shambhala celebration. Instead, it was a damp fishy smell. This smell inexplicably reminded Sean of the story of Pinocchio, as if he was currently inside the body of some giant sea creature.
Sean opened his eyes, and through the Eternal Night Ark, he found that he indeed seemed to be in some kind of biological cavity. Surrounded by tight fleshy folds, there is a faint fishy mucus between the folds, and in front of it is a huge dark green lens, dirty and blurry.
Just as he was still thinking about where he was, he suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from the outside world.
"...It has been twenty-eight days, you are wasting your time! I said, no one can wake up from 'that dream'!
"It's impossible for him to wake up again. We don't have to wait any longer! If we don't leave, the next time the night patrol comes to visit, we might be doomed!" It was a man's voice, an unfamiliar voice.
The answering voice made Sean's heart a little excited for a moment - it was Moonlight, and his voice was a little cold: "No. He is different from others, he will wake up."
"Dead brain!" The man's voice was obviously anxious, "If I had known you were so stupid, I wouldn't have taken care of you and let you die in your sleep!"
Sean had already gotten up. He found that his coat was missing, his body was sticky, and his body had lost a lot of weight, but he was still healthy. He sat up and looked at the surrounding scene through the dark green "hatch cover".
It seemed that he was in a cave. The man who spoke was wearing a black robe and his back was facing this way. There were several people standing in front of him. Sean squinted to see, they were... Moonlight, Ivan and Olivia.
Are they all here? Sean felt a sense of relief in his heart.
At this moment, they were gathered around a green bonfire. The calmness and composure seemed to indicate that they had spent a considerable amount of time here.
Sean touched the smooth hatch cover with his hand and discovered that the transparent lens was actually soft, like a strong film. He tried to push it forward with his hand, and the entire film was twisted and deformed.
"Look!" As if he noticed the movement here, Ivan's voice came from a distance.
Sean exerted some more strength and pierced the membrane with his fingertips. The membrane curled up and the outside air rushed in. The same dampness and coldness, but with a faint smell of burning. He stood up from the chamber.
"Xiao!" Several people stood up from the green bonfire and shouted almost simultaneously.
Sean blinked and looked at his guys as if they were in another world.
The man in black robe turned around. He is a short, stocky man with noticeable dark circles under his eyes. After seeing Sean, his eyes widened in shock: "Really, are you really awake?"
"This is impossible! No one can leave such a dream..." In his horrified shouts, Sean stepped out of the chamber and withstood Moonlight's excited embrace. Before he hugged himself, he noticed that Moonlight's beard had grown long, and the edges of his mouth were fluffy gold - how long had it been?
"Good guy! I knew you could wake up!" Moonlight grabbed Sean's shoulders after letting go. He was so excited, "Others may not be able to do it, but you can!"
Sean was still a little weak, so he let Moonlight support him and sat down by the fire. After sitting down, he first took a serious look at the face he had not seen for a long time.
While practicing meditation in Shambhala, he almost sealed these memories away. And during his travels even longer ago, he only occasionally recalled...
Looking at these faces at this moment, he really had an indescribable feeling. Due to the long passage of time, the people and things in the past seemed to have turned from memories into his own imagination, and in the long dream that was like an exile in the void, the imagination turned into a shadow... Sometimes he was not even sure whether everything in the past was It didn't really happen, it was just some self-deception fantasy.
Until now, sitting in front of them, looking into their eyes, Moonlight, Ivan, Olivia... it was as if the memories frozen deep in the ground were gradually melting. It was as if my imagination had come alive, and I felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and happiness.
It seems that after searching for thousands of years, I finally found my true place.
At this moment, only Olivia Wind Chime could directly feel Sean's feelings. The lightning of happiness turned into a warm current in the crimson bond, causing the flywheel in her body to synchronize with Sean's heartbeat. Sean smiled knowingly at himself. This is a secret that belongs only to them. She held her chin and moved closer to the flames. Her eyes were shining like stars, and her face was finally not so serious.
In this world outside the ordinary world, the person who holds the candle always feels that the internal organs are cold. Sean's suffering made her feel that surviving had become a cold thing that only needed to be carried out. It wasn't until he woke up that she felt a kind of life emerge from the cold parts.
"Is there any water?" Sean had been feeling uncomfortable before, and suddenly realized that he was thirsty. Moonlight on the side quickly picked up a leather water bag, and Sean pulled out the stopper and drank. The water washed out an icy path in his body, giving Sean a more solid feeling.
Having finally quenched his intense thirst, Sean stuffed his water bladder. While slowly becoming familiar with everything again, he raised his head and began to observe his surroundings. They seemed to be located in a huge space. The huge dark green stone pillars were carved with densely packed bionic lines, like the weird skin of some kind of towering creature. The upper end of the "giant leg" disappeared into the darkness, and such pillars extended toward both ends. They appear to be located in a large pagan temple.
He turned back to look at the chamber where he slept before. The entrance to the damaged membrane was opened on a giant dark green slanted limb. There were many flesh-like wrinkles on the limb... Sean frowned unconsciously. These things in front of him were magnificent. And with many details, it is obvious that they are man-made from the material point of view. But the strange thing is that the sophistication of its bionic decoration penetrates every inch, and it seems to grow spontaneously...
A huge palace that can grow spontaneously comes to mind...
I'm afraid this isn't even the earth anymore. I feel a little chilly in my heart.
The bonfire in front of me was also strange. Its fuel appears to be the bones of some strange creature. The creature's bones were black and green, its limbs were asymmetrical and numerous, and there were seven holes in its skull, as if it was quietly studying Sean in the fire. The flames were smudged by a certain chemical substance in its bones, giving it a strange green color.
Sean's friends are obviously not surprised by the surrounding scenery. What they care more about is...
"Sean, what did you experience in your big dream?" Evan Burns squatted by the fire. The Eye of Annihilation was wearing light-colored robes, but the clothes were obviously much damaged and dirty. "You have been sleeping for twenty-eight days..." Ivan couldn't help but shake his head slightly, as if he was incredible at this number.
After waking up from a dream that lasted tens of millions of years, even Sean still felt slightly dizzy. In order to regain his composure, he tried to tell the story from the beginning. However, everything he gained from practicing in Shambhala was his trump card, so he omitted matters about practicing.
"More than a million times?" After hearing Sean's rough description, Moonlight 1902 opened his eyes wide, "You tried more than a hundred times..." Moonlight was speechless, he couldn't understand what that meant - he didn't either He woke up from a dream, but he only found a way to wake up after trying more than 20,000 times. Searching and searching, he was almost in despair. He originally thought it was a terrifying enough experience...
What happened to Sean?
There were too many topics to talk about, and he wanted to grasp some basic information first. Sean temporarily stopped telling his experience and asked: "Where is this place?..."
He had just been searching for the source in the complicated memories, and finally, he recalled the last scene in the real world...
He angered the Lord of Dreams. Arthur Merlin used the angel's heart to attract the attention of the heavens. A "calling" of incredible magnitude came...
"What happened after that?" He asked with a slight headache and frowning.
