As soon as Li Qi returned to reality, he heard the sound of someone shoveling snow outside, and at the same time, Old Wu Tou's commanding voice:
"Yes, yes, yes, move it this way, you idiot, it's too much! Stop, yes! This is the position!"
Instead of feeling sad for Sun Yu who decided to die in his dream, Li Qi took one last look at the spider in front of him whose breathing was getting weaker, took a deep breath and walked out of the room.
Then he saw Old Wu Tou commanding the last member of the expedition team to dig a hole in the ground.
"...What are you doing?"
Li Qi looked at the two people busy outside with confusion, his head filled with question marks.
Old Wu Tou took out the cigarette he had already rolled, lit it with a match, smoked it, and then said to Li Qi:
"Can't you see? Digging our graves."
"Dig a grave?"
"Yes, we are probably going to die here, so we dig graves in advance so that no one will bury us after we die."
Old Wutou said with a smile.
The last member of the expedition team, the slovenly young man, heard the sound of Old Wu and Li Qi talking. He suddenly raised his head and glanced at Li Qi, but said nothing and quickly lowered his head to continue working.
Li Qi's eyes lingered on the sloppy young man for a while, and he asked Old Wu:
"By the way, I haven't asked yet, what happened to him? Why was he able to break free from Dreamweaver's control?"
Old Wu Tou was able to avoid being affected by Dreamweaver because he had discerning glasses that allowed him to see clearly between illusion and reality.
But what about the sloppy young people?
Old Wutou blew out smoke and said:
"What else could it be? It's just a strange object. Everything you can't understand in the world now can be attributed to strange objects."
"So you're saying that he also has strange objects?"
"Of course, I just don't know what it is, but the price should be mental loss. Hey, no matter what, he is still alive, which is already much better than many people."
Old Wutou chuckled.
No matter what kind of rare item the sloppy young man used and what the price was, at least now that there is less than 1% of the world's population left, he has already made a profit.
Li Qi stared at the sloppy young man and saw that he was turning a deaf ear to what Old Wu Tou said to him. He knew he was working hard with a shovel and asked curiously:
"How did you tame him? When I saw him, he looked like he wanted to kill me."
"How else can I tame him? Although he is stupid, he is not completely incapable of understanding human speech. As long as you don't intrude into his territory, he will be like some smart puppies. You can make him do things by giving him a little food. .
"When he hit you before, it was probably because you entered his territory and touched his things."
Li Qi was speechless when he heard this: "...I moved in a dream."
"Isn't that also moving?"
"Okay..."
Li Qi didn't want to argue with Old Wu on this matter. He looked at the several big holes that had been dug on the ground, and after a long silence, he said to Old Wu:
"Actually, I have a strange thing, which is like a refuge. If you want...you can come and stay at my place."
Li Qi invited Lao Wutou again.
The identity of Lao Wutou is unknown for the time being, but since he was once one of the middle and high-level members of the Antiquities Association, he must know a lot of secrets.
Li Qi didn't want to let such a person go, so he had to at least squeeze out everything about the Monuments Association.
Moreover, Old Wu Tou specializes in archeology, and Li Qi needs an archaeological expert to help him search for ancient ruins. Therefore, if Old Wu Tou can be allowed to take refuge in Dreamland Town, that would be the best thing for Li Qi.
What makes Li Qi regretful is that Old Wutou, like Sun Yu, has no intention of going to Dream Town.
He grinned, threw the remaining cigarette butt into the snow, and said:
"Forget it, I don't have a few more years to live, so I won't bother you. I think it's pretty nice here. The mountains are nice, the water...well, the snow is nice, and I have someone to accompany me, which is nice."
There was no reluctance or regret in Old Wu Tou's words, as if he really thought so.
Li Qi stopped trying to persuade him. Anyway, he just said casually that if Old Wu Tou wanted to go with him, that would be fine. If he didn't want to, it didn't matter.
After all, he still had the information tablet given by the knight in his hand.
"Okay, just stay here. I'm going to continue looking for ancient ruins."
Li Qi stopped looking at the sloppy young man who was still busy digging holes, and turned back to his room to wait for Sun Yu to die.
Only if Sun Yu dies can he obtain the ownership of Dream Weaver.
"Any clues?" When the ancient ruins were mentioned, Old Wu Tou also became somewhat interested.
Li Qi nodded: "Yes, maybe it won't take long to find it."
"That's good, but I'll give you a piece of advice. If you find that ancient ruins and you feel it's too dangerous, don't hesitate to run away immediately. The most important thing in the world is your own life. Sometimes the truth can't be found without you. It’s so important to think about it.”
Lao Wutou finally gave Li Qi his instructions.
He seemed to have something on his mind, but when Li Qi came to see him again, he no longer paid attention to this place, but went up to direct the sloppy young man digging the hole.
Perhaps it was Li Qi's illusion. After Old Wu Tou left, he seemed to see a fleeting shadow of a young figure next to Old Wu Tou.
…
Sun Yu survived for two days before dying.
She had been holding on for a long time, and in the last two days she had used all her life and energy to use Dreamweaver. Being able to hold on until now was considered the result of strong willpower.
Looking at Sun Yu's rapidly changing body, Li Qi could probably guess that a long time had passed in the dream that Sun Yu had woven.
It was probably the life of an ordinary person, or even longer than a lifetime.
This was enough for Sun Yu, so in the end, Sun Yu left this world without any regrets.
At the moment her life disappeared, the dream on Sun Yu's head naturally slipped off her head.
The dream scarf slipped off, and the spider silk wrapped around the entire house also disappeared.
In the empty room, there were only two cold human mummies and a huge white spider.
"…Old Wu may have to dig a bigger hole."
Looking at the giant spider, Li Qi made a cold joke.
But no one heard it.
No longer looking at the giant spider, Li Qi leaned over to pick up the dream like a headscarf and put it on his head.
According to Sun Yu's last instructions, the ancient ruins are obviously hidden in the dream world.
This is consistent with Li Qi's initial guess about the traces of the ancient ruins.
Now that Dreamweaver has changed hands, Li Qi decided to explore the dream world. After all, he has been curious about the dream world for a long time.
Please...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
The use of Dreamweaver is not difficult. Wear a headscarf on your head and close your eyes to weave your own dream like weaving cloth.
That's it.
The location of the dream will overlap with the location of reality, and the general direction will not change. The only change is the environment in the dream.
So Li Qi doesn't have to worry about not being able to find the location pointed by Sun Yu after entering the dream.
Just like entering a dream town, Li Qi closed his eyes and opened them again. When he opened his eyes again, he had come to the sunny field.
This is a simple dream that Li Qi wove for himself.
Sunshine, white clouds, blue sky, grassland.
It's almost the same as the background wallpaper of Windows before.
In this sunny world, Li Qi imagined a straight road leading to the distance.
This avenue was paved with cobblestones, and there were fragrant flowers on both sides of the road. The road could not be seen at the end, and it extended all the way to the direction that Sun Yu pointed at at the end.
Li Qi walked towards the end of the road, as if he was on a picnic, or as if he was taking an aimless walk.
The time in the dream was passing by little by little, and Li Qi did not know how long he had walked.
It seemed like a few seconds, and a few days, and a few months had passed.
Until Li Qi stopped on his own initiative.
It was not that he wanted to stop, but on the way forward, a shop appeared that just completely occupied the entire road.
This is a small shop.
A grocery store that looks a bit old.
"..."
The grocery store that suddenly appeared in front of him was full of the style of the 90s in Li Qi's memory.
This was different from the descriptions of Xu Leying, Xie Yan and Sun Yu. For a moment, Li Qi wondered if the grocery store he encountered was different from the one they encountered.
But the attraction coming from the grocery store still made Li Qi sure that the grocery store in front of him was the one he had heard about from Xu Leying and others.
Standing in front of the grocery store, Li Qi stopped for a long time.
In the end, he did not avoid or bypass it, but raised his feet and walked towards the grocery store and crossed it.
Dinglingling——
The sound of the wind chimes after the door was opened was crisp and pleasant, and Li Qi's eyes were bright.
The inside of the grocery store was similar to what Xu Leying and others described, with several rows of shelves standing side by side, and all the shelves were full of various strange and bizarre items.
Li Qi looked at the shelves of the grocery store, his eyes swept over one strange and bizarre object after another, and he could feel a strong attraction from these strange objects.
It seemed that every strange object here was attracting Li Qi and asked him to take them away.
"Is anyone there?"
Li Qi's eyes did not stay on these strange objects for long. He walked to the cashier counter of the grocery store and shouted in the direction of the warehouse behind.
But no one responded.
Li Qi narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at the low cash register, supported himself with his hands and jumped over. Then he stood behind the cash register and waited quietly.
It was quiet all around. Nothing strange happened. There was no "security system" to throw him out as Li Qi imagined.
It seemed that the grocery store did not resist other people coming in here.
This should be the place where the salesperson stood.
Behind the cash register was the warehouse. Li Qi looked at the empty cash register without any coins and continued to walk towards the warehouse.
The door of the warehouse was tightly closed. Li Qi put his hand on the door handle and tried to open it, but found that the door of the warehouse was tightly closed, as if it was fixed to the surrounding environment.
He continued to exert force and even used magic for strengthening, but the door still did not move.
"Interesting."
The more stable the door was, the more Li Qi wanted to open it.
Seeing that he couldn't open the door in front of him by conventional means, Li Qi simply used force. He raised his foot and kicked the door heavily!
