Chapter 358 and Nightmare
Carol dragged Li Qi forward.
They came to the center of the capital of the mist world, met Li Qi's parents in that life, and also met Li Qi's student in that life, Ronnie.
Their appearance was no different from what Li Qi remembered. In Li Qi's eyes, there were only those passers-by who didn't care. Their shapes were silhouettes and facial features drawn with black pen.
Li Qi knew why this was, and also knew why Carol and the others appeared in front of him.
But Li Qi did not shout irrational words to these people, such as "You are all fake."
He just followed these people chatting obediently and talked about the past.
Li Qi's arrival made his mother Chris and his father Geer very happy in the mist world.
They really gave all their love to Li Qi, until they saw that Li Qi was indifferent, they disappeared into clouds and smoke.
Carol and the others left, and soon the images of Li Xueren, Li Wenxin and others appeared in front of Li Qi.
Then came Li Qi's son Li Bofan, and the descendants of the family he knew.
Compared with those who appeared before, Li Qi was more familiar with these relatives and friends from the previous life.
He can recognize everyone here, and he can also recognize all the descendants of the Li family who belong to Li Qi's bloodline after Li Bofan.
Looking at them, Li Qi suddenly laughed and whispered to himself:
“When I was more than a hundred years old in my previous life, I understood a truth.
"The past is the past after all. No matter what regrets you leave, the past cannot be changed or go back.
"So, even if you let me see this, what's the use? My steps will not stop because of this. I will keep looking forward until there is no way forward."
After Li Qi finished speaking, all the shadows in front of him turned into smoke and dissipated.
In its place is a pure white space.
There was only Li Qi in this pure white space, and nothing else.
After a while, a soft female voice came:
"Wouldn't you want to live with someone you care about?"
"I think, but I know that the past is the past. No matter how beautiful the dream is, it is still a dream after all. But I still want to thank you for letting me have such a beautiful dream."
Li Qi said to the female voice.
Yes, this is a dream. Everyone in the town, including him, is actually in a dream.
Dreams are divided into exterior and interior, and the left and right paths are the ones leading to the exterior and interior.
But no matter which way you go, a 'mirror image' will be created on the other side.
The mirror image will be exactly the same as the main body. Even if, like Li Qi, you have practiced spiritual skills, the main body and the mirror image can be interoperable and convertible.
So for Li Qi, he doesn't distinguish between the original body and the mirror image.
Once it comes into contact with the mirror image, it will be the true body no matter which side it is on.
Because of this, Li Qi appears here.
If there are no accidents here, it should be a superficial dream, representing a 'beautiful' dream.
And everything created before was not something created by the person who spoke. She just touched Li Qi's spirit and allowed Li Qi to transform into the characters in his memory that left a deep impression on him.
It was precisely because of this that Li Qi was not angry.
After all, everything comes from Li Qi's own memory, not false things created by others.
Hearing Li Qi's thanks, the female voice stopped talking.
She did not continue to speak, but the white space gradually disappeared.
Colors reappeared, buildings rose from the ground, and Li Qi's figure appeared in the town again.
He looked back at the mansion standing behind him. In the mansion, Sun Xiaoqing was looking at Li Qi slightly worriedly and nervously, as if Li Qi had not set off yet.
But Li Qi himself knew that he had just left the town and gone deep into this superficial dream, only to be sent back by the owner of the strange object in the end.
She had no intention of asking Li Qi to leave here, even if she knew how special Li Qi was.
But at the same time, she didn't mean to target Li Qi, it seemed she just didn't want him to leave.
"Is it the price of the rare item, or..."
Li Qi thought about the reason why the holder of the rare object would do this, but there was too little information at the moment, so he could not guess what the real reason was.
After thinking for a while and unable to guess the answer, Li Qi turned his gaze elsewhere.
The scenery in his eyes once again overlapped with the scenery in his other self's eyes, and he whispered to himself:
"That's it during the day, but what about at night?"
If you go out here during the day and you will encounter sweet dreams, what will you encounter when you go out at night over there?
Nightmare?
If it was really a nightmare, Li Qi was a little curious.
Judging from the situation of the dream here, the things produced in the dream are based on Li Qi's memory.
What appears in the dream are the beautiful scenes in Li Qi's memory, or the beautiful scenes that he wants to realize.
If the nightmare is the same, it means that the thing that Li Qi fears most will be transformed there.
But the problem is that Li Qi himself doesn't know what he is afraid of.
I don’t know what will appear in the nightmare over there.
…
The day was quiet on the other side.
Without knowing the truth about the town, the townspeople here are still living as usual.
Li Qi disguised himself as an ordinary child and wandered around the town.
Of course, he would also avoid the sight of the knight during this period, so as to prevent the knight from really going to trouble Sun Xiaoqing, and to prevent himself from being treated as a child and protected by him.
After knowing that this was a dream, Li Qi's actions became quite free.
He no longer had to worry about the battery problem, after all, it was only his consciousness that existed here, and naturally there was no need to consume the battery.
As for why he didn't notice this before, it was because Li Qi didn't know that this was a dream at the time. His subconscious thought that his body needed to replace the battery, so he would always pay attention to the body's power.
Now there is no need to worry about those.
Li Qi ran around the town, and no one doubted his actions, but just thought he was more playful.
Li Qi took advantage of the daytime to run the entire town and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal in the current town.
It seems that as long as they don't violate the "rules" of the town owner, the people here can live safely.
Li Qi explored the town during the day, and at night, while everyone was asleep, Li Qi opened the window in the room.
"After I leave, no matter who comes, don't open the window."
"What about you coming back?"
"I will open the window myself when I come back, don't worry about me."
Li Qi said, and jumped out of the window.
His small body fell on the lawn downstairs, and Li Qi didn't even bend over and roll. He started to leave directly after landing.
After knowing that it was a consciousness that existed here, Li Qi's behavior was obviously much bolder.
Because in the dream world, the strength of consciousness determines the strength of oneself in the dream, and in terms of consciousness strength, Li Qi thought that no one in this world would surpass him.
Hundreds of years of consciousness strength, plus the spiritual strength of the fourth level of Tiangong Soul Transfer, allow Li Qi to become a superpower with hypnotic ability even in a world without any extraordinary abilities.
So there is no need to worry about Li Qi's safety here.
It is better to worry about the safety of this unknown user of the strange object. Li Qi promised that as long as she dared to appear in front of him, he would take the strange object from her hand in an instant.
Stepping out of the mansion, Li Qi gradually walked away from the town as he did on the other side.
But unlike the daytime, when Li Qi left the town, endless darkness surged towards him.
The town disappeared in the darkness, and the moon in the sky also disappeared at the same time.
All Li Qi saw was endless darkness, a darkness that was so dark that he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.
Darkness represents the unknown, and it can trigger the deepest fear in people's hearts.
But this didn't work for Li Qi. He didn't know how much he had experienced, and with his own super strength, even if he couldn't see things, he could hear and feel them.
For him, darkness and the unknown were not equal, let alone the word "fear".
If the "nightmare" here was only this degree, then Li Qi was a little disappointed.
But it was obvious that the darkness that enveloped Li Qi was just an appetizer, and the next one was the main course.
After being wrapped in the thick darkness for an unknown period of time, Li Qi's eyes were bright again.
When the darkness surged like a tide, the familiar city street scene reappeared in front of Li Qi.
A man appeared in front of him, a man in a suit with short hair. When Li Qi saw him, his pupils couldn't help shrinking. He quickly flipped through his memories and found the man's name in the depths of his long-forgotten memories:
"Ma Chen?"
"Hmm?"
The man in the suit heard Li Qi's voice, turned his head to look at him, and then smiled and said:
"Good morning, Li Qi, you came so early today?"
"Today..."
Li Qi was slightly stunned and turned his head to look around.
He found himself standing in front of a building at this moment. There were office workers in formal suits around him, and everyone had a cup of coffee in their hands.
Li Qi also had one in his hand.
He looked at Ma Chen, and then at himself, and his memory returned to the most distant past, which was the past before the time travel.
At that time, he had just been promoted to a regular employee in a company during the internship period. According to his colleagues, his career was on the right track.
At that time, Li Qi thought he could settle down. He learned from others to drink coffee and work in the office every day, but the final result was that he had to do all the dirty and tiring work, repeating boring work day after day.
Overtime, being conscripted, and suddenly being assigned work by the boss became Li Qi's daily life at that time.
Then one day... Li Qi became Li Qi in another world.
After that, it was endless time travel until now.
Li Qi never thought that one day he would stand in front of that unpleasant company again. He turned his head and looked at the company, frowning and wanted to use his ability to break this unpleasant nightmare.
However, what surprised Li Qi was that he couldn't do it for a while.
At this moment, Li Qi suddenly understood what he was afraid of.
He was afraid that he would return to that boring daily life, he was afraid of losing the power he had accumulated for several lifetimes, and he was even more afraid of being in a world without any extraordinary power and no way forward.
It was because he had experienced the taste of extraordinary power and the feeling of using power that he was unwilling to lose these.
This is exactly what Li Qi fears.
This is also the "nightmare" he is about to face at this moment.
