Chapter 2809 Sweet Dreams

After the wise master finished explaining to Xiaobao, he went to a corner of the room and took out a picture frame without a picture from a pile of miscellaneous items.

The wise master looked back at everyone and said, "I'm going to rest inside. When you're done asking questions, you can ask Xiaobao to wake me up."

Before everyone understood what he meant, the body of the wise master gradually became smaller and walked into the picture frame step by step.

As the figure of the wise master disappeared, a portrait of a one-eyed boy sitting on a mahogany swing, basking in the sunlight outside the window, and dozing leisurely with his eyes closed appeared in the picture frame that originally had no picture.

In the human aesthetic view, symmetry is the most harmonious beauty, and one-eyed people are actually difficult to look beautiful.

But in this painting, the Rembrandt-style use of light makes the light and shadow contours on the one-eyed boy's face profound and elegant, quiet and beautiful.

"Is he really asleep?" Dox looked at the sleeping boy in the painting and murmured in a low voice.

"Of course the Lord fell asleep. This painting is a sweet dream. In the painting, a short rest can..." The one-eyed little treasure in the water cup was explaining, but he suddenly stopped halfway through the explanation.

Dox looked at the one-eyed little treasure in confusion: "Continue?"

The one-eyed little treasure hummed: "Brother Erbao doesn't let me talk about the effect of sweet dreams, I listen to my brother!"

"Sweet dreams? Is it an alchemical prop?" The one who asked the question was Angel. He always felt that when Xiaobao described "sweet dreams", it seemed like he was talking about some special props, not a kind of ability.

But if it is an alchemical prop... Angel was very confused, because under the gaze of the alchemical eye, the material of the picture frame was clearly visible.

It was a wood known to Angel, and it was not an extraordinary material.

Since it was not an extraordinary prop, why did the one-eyed little treasure's tone sound so much like describing some kind of alchemical prop?

One-eyed Xiaobao continued to hum: "This is not a question from the Qingkong Poetry Room, I won't answer!"

The question that Dox asked just now has nothing to do with the Qingkong Poetry Room... Angel complained in his heart, but still said patiently: "Why don't you ask Erbao? Maybe Erbao agrees with your answer?"

One-eyed Xiaobao did not reply, but closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

A few seconds later, Xiaobao opened his big cartoon-style eyes on the water: "Brother agreed that I would explain the sweet dream to you, but I can't talk about the effect of the sweet dream."

After speaking, Xiaobao said to himself: "How to explain this? I have to talk about the sweet dream again, but I can't talk about the effect. It's so annoying!"

"How about I ask you?" Angel: "There is no truth book here. You can choose to answer or remain silent."

The truth book was taken away by the wise master when he left.

Everyone had no objection to this. Xiaobao himself was not in the contract of the truth book, so it was meaningless even if he was covered by the truth book. At most, the effect of "answering every question" could still work. But Xiaobao can answer irrelevant questions or lie directly.

Also, Xiaobao's situation is very special. If he lies... everyone can actually hear it, so there is no need for the truth book to restrain him.

"Okay, hurry up, finish asking questions early, so I can go to my mother to complain."

"Complain? Complain about us?"

"If you bully me, I will complain about you. But not yet, I will complain about Erbao brother later, he ignored me before."

Everyone listened to Xiaobao's mumbling, and they were all speechless.

Obviously Erbao had just finished talking to Xiaobao, and now Xiaobao was going to complain about Erbao ignoring him. What kind of brotherhood is this?

"Anyway, hurry up!" Xiaobao muttered for a long time, and then said loudly to Angel.

"Well, I asked the first question just now. Is Sweet Dream an alchemical item?"

Xiaobao: "No."

Angel: "Then what is it, an ability? A talent?"

Xiaobao thought for a while: "Neither. In your human terms, Sweet Dream should be considered a mysterious thing."

Mysterious thing? ! Everyone was wondering why Angel was obsessed with Sweet Dream, but now everyone's eyes are bright... This is a mysterious thing!

But the next second, everyone remembered what Xiaobao said before, that they can only talk about Sweet Dream itself but not its effects. This made everyone a little crazy again. Knowing that there is a mysterious thing in front of them, but not knowing its effect, that kind of itchy feeling is really uncomfortable.

"Sweet Dream is a mysterious thing..." Angel narrowed his eyes and continued to ask: "Then its body is this picture frame?"

Xiaobao: "Of course not. Sweet Dream has no body, it is just a dream."

Perhaps seeing that everyone did not understand, Xiaobao thought for a while and continued: "The Lord Master once said that the predecessor of Sweet Dream was a fragment of a blank dream floating in the sea of ​​empty mirrors. By chance, it collected a large number of beautiful dreams, and under the promotion of the right time and place, it transformed into a mysterious thing... a mysterious dream."

"It has no body. The reason why it was collected by the Lord Master was thanks to the help of a white-haired elder sister with heterochromia. Now, it is stored in a special mirror world."

"Don't think that the Lord Master entered from this picture frame. In fact, the picture frame is not important. The Lord Master can enter from any mirror."

Others may not understand, but Angel probably understands.

This is actually a mysterious thing in an abstract sense.

In Kuroli's records, Angel saw many similar mysterious things. For example, the disordered thing "sprout" is actually a mysterious thing in an abstract sense, because there is no need to find its body to enter the sprout, and no one can find its body. You only need to read the corresponding characters to enter the disordered rhythm of the sprout.

There is also "the heartbeat of the lonely clown", which has the effect that all creatures who hear the heartbeat will dance for it. At first glance, it seems that the heart is a mysterious thing, but it is not. The heartbeat is the core. And the mysterious thing of the heartbeat is also considered in an abstract sense.

In addition, "growth rays", "old dreams", and "echoes" can all be classified in this category.

Therefore, when Angel heard about the mysterious thing without a body, the sweet dream, he was not surprised.

Compared with its form of existence, Angel is more concerned about the process of its birth as described by Xiaobao.

Is the birth process described by the wise master true, or is it made up at random to fool Xiaobao? If it is true, can we find the key to the birth of the mysterious thing?

"How can the wise master know the birth process of the sweet dream so clearly? Did he see it with his own eyes?" Angel thought about it and asked the doubts in his heart.

"The master said it was this process, that's it, why do you have any objections?" One-eyed Xiaobao didn't understand why Angel asked this. In his memory, the wise master almost never lied. Since the wise master said so, the process must be like this.

On the contrary, it was the suspicion of Angel and others that made One-eyed Xiaobao feel uncomfortable.

Angel also heard the disgust in Xiaobao's tone. After thinking about it, he added: "I just feel a little sad. Why am I not so lucky to witness the birth of the sweet dream like the wise master."

Hearing Angel express his envy of the wise master, One-eyed Xiaobao immediately put away his dissatisfaction and hummed: "The master is great, how can you compare with him."

Angel smiled and nodded, looking like he agreed.

After confirming that Xiaobao's mood had become positive again, Angel continued to ask: "Is this sweet dream related to dreaming?"

Xiaobao was about to answer, but suddenly, as if realizing something: "Humph, I won't tell you."

Angel: "I understand if you don't tell me. But I'll guess its mechanism, okay?"

Xiaobao: "Whatever you want, I won't say anything anyway."

Angel: "Will sweet dreams make people fall asleep?"

Xiaobao didn't answer, but Angel detected "disapproval" from Xiaobao's emotions through super perception.

If this emotion is placed in other environments, it basically means that Angel guessed wrong. But at the moment, it doesn't mean anything.

Because the wise master entered the frame in front of them, and then showed a sleeping posture in the frame, this basically told them clearly that sweet dreams would make people fall asleep. Therefore, it was normal for Xiaobao to show disapproval.

Angel naturally understood that he asked this question first just to let Xiaobao relax so that he could better perceive Xiaobao's emotional ups and downs next.

"When you fall into a deep sleep, the sweet dream will play the role of a mysterious object." Angle paused: "The effect may be that when you dream, there will be some positive benefits?"

Xiaobao's mood fluctuated slightly, but this fluctuation was more of doubt. The source of doubt began when Angle said "positive benefits".

Angel also felt very strange about Xiaobao's doubts. He didn't understand whether this meant that he was wrong.

While Angle was thinking, Xiaobao said: "Uh, what is positive benefit?"

Angel: "..."

He was thinking deeply about what Xiaobao was wondering about, whether he was wrong. As a result, Xiaobao didn't understand the meaning of Angle's words at all.

"Positive benefits are positive effects."

Xiaobao: "Isn't this nonsense? Would the Lord let himself have negative effects even if he sleeps?...Okay, okay, I know, I won't say it."

Xiaobao was talking to Angle in the first sentence, and Xiaobao was silent for a while in the second sentence, obviously talking to Erbao. It is likely that Erbao asked it not to continue talking.

What Angel asked was not nonsense, because mysterious things don't necessarily give benefits. Whether good or bad.

Its effect is actually more of a "counter-rule", that is, an effect that cannot be distinguished by logic.

Just like "The Heartbeat of the Lonely Clown", dancing to the sound of the heartbeat, is this a positive effect or a negative effect? ​​Neither, it just makes you unable to control your desire to dance. Whether it is a mortal or a legend, they will sing and dance to the sound of the heartbeat. When a single person enters the rhythm of the heartbeat, without the help of teammates or outsiders, it is basically an unsolvable effect.

Xiaobao's understanding of mysterious things is obviously not comprehensive, so according to it, it is reasonable that the Lord can't give himself a negative effect.

Xiaobao himself didn't think he provided any information, but in fact the information he provided was quite useful.

This is a mysterious thing that can give the user a positive effect, which is extremely rare among mysterious things.

"Mysterious things are not necessarily all positive effects." Angel followed Xiaobao's words and said: "Generally speaking, mysterious things will have some negative effects."

Angel originally wanted to lure Xiaobao to ask questions, but Xiaobao was not fooled and kept humming and humming without saying anything.

Angel could only continue to talk to himself: "For example, I have heard of a mysterious thing, it is an inconspicuous cabin. As long as you live in this cabin, you will be immortal."

When it comes to immortality, Xiaobao didn't feel anything, because for a "child", this word is not very attractive. But everyone else present, all cast their eyes on Angel.

"If there is such a mysterious thing, you are not lying, right?" Dox asked.

Angel: "Yes."

"Can you really be immortal?" Dox asked with shining eyes.

Angel nodded again.

Dox's eyes lit up, but just when he wanted to ask for more information about the cabin, he suddenly had an idea: "You just said that mysterious things usually have negative effects, so what are the negative effects of this cabin?"

Angel did not hide it and said bluntly: "You can't leave. As long as you stay in this cabin, you will never get old or die, but once you walk out of the cabin, you will die instantly."

Dox: "... I think only Wai can afford this kind of immortality."

'Homeboy' Wai said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not going out forever, okay? If I don't go out, how can I go to your broken bar?"

Angel ignored the dispute between Dox and Wai, but continued to talk about the negative effects of mysterious things: "However, there is a way to remove the negative effects, and the way to remove them is actually in the name of this cabin."

Angel's way of telling the story, coupled with the suspense that deliberately whetted the appetite, not only made everyone look over with confusion, but even Xiaobao's big eyes were full of curiosity.

"The name of this cabin is the lonely cabin."

When Angel said this, Kael whispered: "Lonely... cabin? The cabin is not a living being, how can it be lonely?"

Kael's mumbling seemed to remind everyone.

Dox: "Could it be that the cabin is very lonely and needs someone to accompany it, so the people who accompany it will live forever?"

Angel smiled and looked at Dox, motioning him to continue.

Dox: "Once the person who accompanies the cabin leaves, the cabin becomes lonely again, so it punishes the betrayer and makes him die immediately?"

"You said that the way to solve the sudden death is in the name of this cabin. The most prominent part of the name of the cabin is undoubtedly "loneliness", so if it is no longer lonely, can it solve the sudden death?"

Dox continued to think according to this logic: "Thinking about it this way, in fact, as long as there is another person to accompany the lonely cabin instead of the existing one, the cabin will not be lonely, and it will not die suddenly when leaving?"

Angel clapped his hands and gave Dox a "thumbs-up": "The explanation is wonderful, and the answer is indeed as you said. As long as someone can replace the people in the cabin, the people in the cabin will be safe when they leave."

"However, the lonely cabin will not always exist in one place, and its appearance will change with the place it goes. Therefore, the first person who steps into the lonely cabin is basically someone who accidentally enters. Stepping in, then, how can he let others replace him? "

"Cheat. Use words to deceive passers-by, and use magic messages to deceive friends. "

"So, if one day any of you receives a message from a friend asking you to go somewhere, and that place is a wooden house, then you have to be careful, you might be cheated. "

When everyone was lost in thought, Angel changed the subject: "Then again, I just gave this example to say that it is normal for mysterious things to have negative effects, but most of them also have ways to remove negative effects. "

"Sweet dreams are not necessarily all positive effects, maybe they also have negative effects. "

Angel looked at Xiaobao: "Based on the name of the mysterious thing, Sweet Dreams must be a beautiful dream, and beautiful dreams are the easiest to indulge in, and even make people unwilling to wake up. Then could it be that the negative effect of this sweet dream is actually that once you fall into a dream, you can't wake up on your own?"
