Chapter 66: The Purpose of the Arrivals

  "Who are you!" Su Qi asked cautiously, could it be the person who trapped himself in the seal?

  No one answered, and suddenly a thick fog gathered from all directions around Su Qi Rao's side. The dark fog was like the rolling black clouds in the sky before a storm, sweeping across the entire boundary with lightning speed. Even the mutated cockroaches that were chasing Su Qi Rao were wrapped up in the fog, struggling until they completely lost their trace. This fog actually had life!

  The originally white boundary suddenly turned dark, leaving only a faint light reflected on Su Qi's body, allowing him to avoid completely losing his direction within the boundary. However, the remaining light was like a candle flame swaying in the wind, seemingly about to disappear without a trace at any moment.

  "Who are you?" Su Qi Ruo cautiously looked around, her hand gripping the water sword tightly, ready to strike at any sign of danger.

  "Is this important?" The fleeting voice suddenly appeared again, with a hint of seriousness in its tone, and this time, judging from the sound, Su Qi was certain that she didn't know this person at all.

  "Don't pretend to be mysterious!" Su Qi Ruo was paying attention to the surroundings at all times and had no leisure to entangle with him on such a boring issue.

  "I'm not pretending, this is simply your world." The voice with obvious puzzlement sounded again, seemingly unable to understand why Su Qi was asking a question she already knew the answer to.

  "What's my world?" Su Qi couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all, "What are you talking about? I don't get it." If this is my world, why would such disgusting bugs appear and keep chasing me? Besides, I wouldn't even set up a boundary, how could this be my boundary. However, Su Qi didn't voice these questions out loud.

  "A person's dreams are either black or white, and of course some people's dreams can be in color. Now this world is your dream, so when a strong desire for mineral water appears in your consciousness, a bottle of mineral water will really appear." He explained patiently.

  "Why would I appear in my own dream?" The newcomer's willingness to explain her confusion suggested that he was not an enemy. Since he was willing to enlighten her, Su Qi did not mind him educating her, and she realized how little she knew about the world of gods and demons.

  "Everyone will appear in their own dreams."

  ……

  Su Qi thought to herself that this person must be doing it on purpose, absolutely!

  It seems that he had noticed Su Qi's pale complexion, and the newcomer spoke again, "Anything that happens in a dream will be reflected on your body. If you die in your own dream, you will also die in the real world. Of course, this is not just your dream, but also someone else's dream. Have you heard of 'Dream Exhaustion'?"

  "What's being wasted? What thing?"

  "Procrastination is a monster that can sneak into people's dreams and feed on their happiness."

  "Is being idle also a kind of demonic behavior?" Whatever was harmful to oneself, Su Qi would automatically categorize it as part of the demonic tribe.

  "Yes."

  "Are you a demon or a god?" Su Qi suddenly changed the subject, leaving the newcomer momentarily speechless. This question made people feel that Su Qi had deliberately set up a linguistic trap. In fact, Su Qi didn't think so much, she simply thought of something and asked it out of curiosity.

  The man fell silent for a long time, so long that Su Qi Ruo and the others waiting with him gradually lost their patience. However, she didn't find it convenient to urge him on, after all, he had just saved her from the mutated cockroach's mouth, so she should at least show some courtesy towards her savior. "Is it very difficult to answer? If it's that hard, then forget it." Su Qi Ruo thought for a long time and felt that perhaps she had asked something she shouldn't have.

  "It's useless for you too." The tone of the newcomer remained unchanged.

  It's really useless, Su Qi thought to herself. "How do I get out of here?" If she was killed by her own dream, wouldn't people laugh at her? Lu Ke would probably be so angry that he'd smoke with rage. Normally, if something unexpected happened, Lu Ke would rush over to save her right away. Why didn't he come this time? Was it because being trapped in one's own dreams made it hard for others to find her?

  "Killing idleness is enough."

  "How to kill?" As soon as this question came out, Su Qi Ruo felt that she had asked a very silly question. What else could be used to kill but spiritual power? "Right, what does the Void Beast look like?" Su Qi Ruo timely supplemented a practical question, knowing what it looked like before taking action. Alas, Su Qi Ruo once again lamented that she knew too little.

  "The void is skilled at using the deepest fears of humanity to create dreams, but since it's in your own dream, as long as you want to see it, you can see it quickly."

  "Alright." Su Qi Ruo thought to herself, trying hard to see the void, seeing the void, seeing the void... This idea had been repeated countless times in her mind, yet she still couldn't see the void's figure. The dream world she was in was also pitch black, without any change. Su Qi Ruo couldn't help but wonder if she had been deceived?

  "You have too many thoughts in your mind." Perhaps seeing Su Qi's puzzled eyes, the person kindly reminded him.

  "What distracting thoughts? If I don't hold my breath and meditate, what distracting thoughts do I have?" Su Qi's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of resentment.

  "Your subconscious has not accepted your current ideas and certainly cannot affect your dreams."

  As soon as the stranger said this, Su Qi's mind suddenly cleared up. Dreams are influenced by a person's subconsciousness. If it was in his own dream, then his inner thoughts would naturally be reflected in the dream. Now that the dream is pitch black, it means that he himself didn't have any dreams in reality. If virtual waste can utilize dreams, then the mutated cockroaches and caterpillars that appeared earlier were things he feared in his subconsciousness being utilized by virtual waste. However, now that the mutated cockroaches and caterpillars are really gone, it means that this person with unknown intentions can drive away the dream created by virtual waste, which also means that he can influence his own dreams. Then, he has abilities similar to those of virtual waste, or he is virtual waste itself.

  He's just wasting time!

  Su Qi was startled by his own thoughts, but if he were just a waste of space, he could have killed himself just now and wouldn't have bothered talking to himself for so long. It seems that he is not a waste of space, but rather a member of a race with abilities similar to those of a waste of space. But what did he want to do by intruding into his own dream? Was it simply to save himself? But he didn't even know this person, what other purpose could he have?
