"But they’re singing a song that calls to ..."
Tian Bufan retorted, "Isn’t it possible that they’re actually calling to all those who can hear them?"
"But that singing..."
"You’ve indulged too much, Old Lin," Tian Bufan interrupted, "There are 7 minutes left. Have you decided what to say?"
Lin Yi quickly shut his mouth and, after a quick ntal pivot, voiced his final question: "Tonight, as I faced the attack of the Graveyard of the Deceased, I had a sudden thought. Could it be that the Graveyard of the Deceased, Snake Nest, and other similar alien sculptures are all fragnted entities based on the sa mother entity?"
"Like that Tsunade Hokage in ’Water Shadow Ninja,’ doesn’t it have a snot slug summoned beast? Could it be that, like that summoned beast, the alien sculptures that have invaded the reality layers are essentially the sa?"
"Emmmm..." Lin Yi suddenly realized that Tian Bufan might not have read this manga, and perhaps only Wei Liang would understand this analogy.
"I understand what you an... It’s like a fishing net," Tian Bufan slowly began, "Suppose there is an alien sculpture mother entity, and this mother entity is trapped by a fishing net, and its flesh is squeezed out by the net, appearing as separate individual pieces."
"At the sa ti, the fishing net acts like a layer, and those pieces squeeze through the net, penetrating the layer, reaching reality, looking like distinct individual entities."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!! When it cos to understanding, it really has to be you, Young Master Tian!" Lin Yi clapped his hands.
"It’s you who speaks without coherence..." Tian Bufan was speechless.
"Hehehe..." Lin Yi chuckled awkwardly and quickly continued, "So I think the Snake Nest over there in Little Days and the Graveyard of the Deceased on this campus are all part of the main body. What kind of horror would the main body be? If we encounter a stronger Graveyard of the Deceased during our action tomorrow, what should we do?"
He added, "Yesterday, as I crossed the Stone Bridge, I was attacked by an imnse alien sculpture like a mountain... You saw it too, right?"
"I call that thing a ’High-level Alien Sculpture’... Could it be the main body of the Graveyard of the Deceased? Or perhaps even it is rely a part of so main body? Could the Graveyard of the Deceased be just... a tiny piece of so indescribable entity?"
"Like... a small tuft of cow hair on a cow’s body?"
Lin Yi spoke rapidly, voicing many conjectures at once.
He was now not particularly afraid of the Graveyard of the Deceased, but as Tian Bufan ntioned the fishing net, if tomorrow night the "High-level Alien Angel" took advantage of the Grey Mist Invasion to sneak so flesh past the net’s boundary, it would be a significant safety hazard for him, wouldn’t it?
He couldn’t let his guard down.
Tian Bufan pondered, "These issues... indeed need solving, but you also don’t need to worry too much. We are a team. So burdens aren’t yours alone to bear."
"Tomorrow, during the day, I’ll go to the Desolate Land one more ti," Kuai Hongji suddenly spoke up, "Accompany you."
He wasn’t speaking to Lin Yi but conversing with Tian Bufan.
Tian Bufan had to make a trip to Corpse Bone Forest, and he just happened to be going in the sa direction.
"Old Lin’s concerns are entirely valid..." Kuai Hongji continued, "To be cautious, I’ll bring the Zealot’s Matrix and make so adjustnts. It should help sowhat."
"It’s best to keep things from that layer from crossing the boundary."
"Alright... let’s go together then." Tian Bufan did not refuse Kuai Hongji, "If there are any issues, we’ll discuss them tomorrow."
Lin Yi still wanted to say sothing, but Tian Bufan interrupted, "Alright, don’t say anything more. One last minute, just listen to ."
After speaking, Tian Bufan left no room for Lin Yi to doubt as he directly said, "After entering the dream, you’ll see more than Maozi’s experiences, but don’t forget. When you see Maozi, no matter what, try your best to guide him, using your knowledge of the Dream Boundary, to find the Contractor’s room or the Observatory."
"This is an action that will definitely fail, but it can eliminate a wrong choice for our action tomorrow."
"In theory, no matter what, nothing should happen to Maozi, but don’t go too far."
"But the most important thing is — rember my words, always rember..."
"Don’t get lost in the ’ti’ of the dream!"
"Got it?"
"Ah? Uh... Oh, got it, got it." Tian Bufan’s last words made Lin Yi’s scalp tingle subconsciously, but before he could savor them, Tian Bufan’s icy words had already echoed in his ears.
"Sleep."
After saying this, Tian Bufan closed his eyes.
Lin Yi’s gaze swept over the clock on the wall.
23:59:56, 23:59:57...
Tick-tock, tick-tock...
Lin Yi silently counted in his heart, "3...2...1..."
"Sleep..."
"Snore..."
May 11, X023, 0:00:00.
The instant the clock’s hands returned to zero, Lin Yi suddenly felt his body lighten abruptly, and it was as if he’d fallen slightly and then floated in mid-air.
He "opened his eyes," surrounded still by a sky drifting with light clouds, and he was just descending.
He raised his wrist to glance at his watch.
0:00:08, 0:00:09...
"Really fell asleep in seconds..."
Lin Yi chuckled to himself. Nowadays, he could increasingly clearly cognize his dream, and conversely, he was a bit unsure of when he slipped into a dream while in reality...
"’Don’t get lost in the ti of the dream’? When falsehood becos truth, does truth also beco falsehood?"
