The duration of the Sands of Time dream is only ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, the world resets.
This is the real reason why Gu Shen will eventually return to the same place no matter which direction he sets out... Even if he is swallowed by quicksand, as long as the time reset is triggered, he will return to the same place.
If a person enters this dream alone, he may mistakenly believe that he has come to a desert with no end.
In fact, no matter how far you go, you will be brought back to the starting point by "time reset".
"The reset time of the Sands of Time is ten minutes...is it because the hourglass in reality is made according to the ten-minute timer?" Gu Shen thought of Chu Ling's first words.
If you go all out, you can complete Dream Interpretation of the Sands of Time in ten minutes.
"I see... Then the key to cracking the Sands of Time is not space... but time."
"So, where is the exit from the Sands of Time?"
Gu Shen squatted down again.
He twirled the sand and looked deeply at the sand pit at his feet.
"600...599..."
Gu Shen once again began to count down silently.
…
…
"The Sand of Time and the Green Dice are completely two types of sealed objects."
Wu Mengbai, the presiding judge of Sequoia District, asked worriedly: "If we don't find the 'law', we won't be able to get out of the Sands of Time for ten thousand years. It's been almost an hour... Lin Beizhu, how many times has the Sand of Time dream been inverted? Second-rate?"
This person's name is "Lin Beizhu", a member of the review team in charge of the Sealed Artifacts of the Sand of Time. He is an old man with white hair and a childlike face, and he seems to be in high spirits.
He stared at the hourglass in Gu Shen's hand, his eyes shining brightly, as if he could penetrate the sealed object and look directly into the dream.
"Old Wu, you seem to care about Gu Shen very much since he unlocked the 'Green Dice'." Lin Beizhu smiled and said: "The ratio of the sand of time to the flow of time in reality is one to one. This little guy is indeed He is extremely talented and quickly discovered the 'reset' property. Now he is trying to interpret dreams... he should be able to complete it soon. At this rate, he is about an hour ahead of the fastest record."
After receiving this answer, Wu Mengbai breathed a sigh of relief.
He really paid attention to Gu Shen.
The fastest record for Qing Dice is three hours and one minute.
The record for The Sands of Time is two hours and eighteen minutes.
It's not that there is a significant difference in the difficulty of the two sealed objects... The characteristics of the Sand of Time are softer than those of the Green Dice. It is more like a kind of chronic "torture". The faster the rules are discovered, the easier it is to unlock the Sand of Time. sand.
The green dice is different. Even if you know the twisting trajectory, you still need to muster up your energy to complete every necessary rotation!
"This result is very good... another new record..."
Wu Mengbai looked at the chief judge and said seriously: "I believe it was Qing Di's dream interpretation that consumed a lot of Gu Shen's mental energy, otherwise the record could have been faster. In view of his outstanding performance, I think the review will be completed when the interpretation is completed." If you are worried about the negative impact of that report, we can wait for Han Dang’s investigation results before making an audit assessment."
"..."
Tang Qingquan had no intention of giving in to the proposal of Judge Sequoia: "I understand your proposal, but... I don't agree. I stick to my original opinion. Gu Shen should complete the dream interpretation of the three sealed artifacts. If He cannot complete the 'Ghost Cage' test and I will not give him an 'S-Class' rating."
Wu Mengbai's face was very ugly.
"The characteristics of the Ghost Cage are too intense..."
Lin Beizhu, the owner of the Sand of Time, began to smooth things over. He said seriously: "Having unlocked two nightmare sealed objects, Gu Shen must be very tired. Touching the Ghost Cage again may cause great harm to him. It’s irritating and may hurt.”
"Whether it is the green dice or the sand of time, they are all dream-sealed objects that tend to 'see the laws'." The chief judge said seriously: "Since Gu Shen has shown unparalleled spiritual potential, our assessment should be More comprehensive…”
Judge Sequoia wanted to say something else.
At this moment, Gu Shen woke up from the "Sands of Time" dream.
All the arguments in the review team also disappeared at this moment...
"One hour and three minutes."
Lin Beizhu smiled and said: "Congratulations. Your score in dream interpretation is very good. How did you find the last 'exit'?"
The young man returned the hourglass to the old man with both hands. He nodded politely and smiled, but some of the blood on his face was visible to the naked eye... Even with Chu Ling's assistance, a lot of mental energy was consumed in the process of interpreting dreams in the Sand of Time. .
"Better luck."
Gu Shen smiled humbly: "I accidentally fell into quicksand... I thought I was finished, but ended up triggering the 'time reset'. Otherwise, it would have taken longer. As for the final 'exit'... I think this world Since it is not as big as I thought, the direction is not important, so I started looking for clues from the sealed object itself. I guessed that the time reset characteristic corresponds to the narrow opening of the hourglass to reset the sand grains. So I was stuck in time. At the last second of reset, I dived into the deepest part of the sand, and sure enough, that was the exit to the final interpretation of the dream.”
"It's true that you are lucky. You found the pattern through 'drowning in the sand'." The old man nodded appreciatively, "If you are more lucky, you can complete the dream interpretation by 'drowning' for the first time, which is not necessarily impossible. .”
The key to completing this sealed artifact is to reach the deepest part of the Sands of Time at the moment when time is reset.
Hourglass upside down.
The deepest end point becomes the first exit.
Gu Shen scratched his head, "Good luck, good luck, luck."
Compared with the green dice, the dream interpretation of the sand of time does have an element of luck, and without Chu Ling to help him relieve the pressure of drowning in the sand, he would not dare to try this kind of death-seeking behavior easily.
With normal dream interpretation, the time would be longer than it is now.
But it should be faster than the previous fastest record.
After completing two consecutive dream interpretations, Gu Shen felt a "palpitations" feeling in his chest. This was an emotion out of his control, and it was also his body's reminder that it was time to rest and not to continue.
Today's mental strength is still weak.
It's not a good thing to touch too much of this nightmare-level sealed object at once.
As for the third sealed object... it was also the most dangerous looking sealed object. Gu Shen knew that it might be difficult to interpret the dream as he had done before with his own strength alone.
"Gu Shen."
Judge Sequoia spoke. When Gu Shen chose to touch the Sands of Time, he faced the condemnation of his conscience.
At this moment he chose to stand up.
Wu Mengbai said solemnly: "Listen to me, the review will stop here. You don't need to continue, I will strive for an 'S-level' rating for you."
Gu Shen was a little surprised. He saw the eyes of the other big figures in the review team, most of which were encouraging and appreciative.
The only exception was the look in one person's eyes.
"No...the review is not over yet."
Justice Tang Qingquan stared at the young man and said calmly: "Gu Shen, I am the examiner for this review examination, and the final score evaluation will be based on my opinions."
"You only have two choices now -"
"One, choose to touch the third sealed object, complete the dream interpretation, and end the review!"
"Two, choose to give up. The review is over and it will not be approved!"
There was no joy or sadness on Tang Qingquan's face. He seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him, "You have one minute to rest and think about it."
"No need to think about it."
Gu Shen answered quickly, without even a second of hesitation.
He bowed deeply to the well-meaning examiners, then straightened his spine, looked directly at the justice without expression, and said, "I choose to continue."
