Dreams Become Reality

Lu Zun stood proudly on the stage, his expression one of madness.

From his perspective, countless terrifying memories fluttered through the air, constantly drilling into other people's minds.

The black lines left by the inducer have become increasingly bright.

Soon, the Leviathan Rift will appear on the earth, and everyone will fall into the abyss with the most horrific memories, suffering the most painful death.

His plan is about to succeed.

No one can stop it.

As for Qin Yiguan and his group, Lu Zun had long since ignored them.

Qin Yiguan squatted on the ground, comforting Teacher Qing.

Look at the scene.

Everyone was groaning in agony; the horrific memories in their minds had rendered them immobile.

UM-3, ranked third in Fusion Rate, and Mang Zhong, ranked second, were located far away and remained unharmed.

Jiu Zhengxuan's brain had been pierced, and he lay in a pool of blood. He was dead, but his eyes stared straight at the sky, as if telling the world that he could not accept what was happening before him.

Jingye Meinan was also writhing on the ground, groaning in pain from his head.

Whether Teacher Qing can regain her memories is entirely unknown.

Rumble.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and in an instant, cold raindrops began to fall on everyone's bodies.

Qin Yiguan then looked at Chen Mudou, who was not far from him.

She slumped to the ground, her thick glasses covered in water droplets, her face ashen, motionless like a statue.

"Mudou."

Qin Yiguan called out.

Chen Mudou was in a daze and did not respond.

"Mudou."

Qin Yiguan's voice became calm, "Actually, I also have many secrets that I haven't told you."

Chen Mudou made no move and remained silent.

Qin Yiguan didn't seem to care, and slowly said, "I actually have many personalities."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Mudou's body twitched slightly, but only for a moment before the gloom in her heart overwhelmed her again.

Qin Yiguan laughed and said, "There are some evil villains in my personality. I don't want to face them, but I can't control everything. In the Experimental Zone, they materialized. Like all humans, they appeared in front of me, talked to me, and even fought me."

"Just like the Jiang Mingshu."

"But Mingshu, it protects you, it makes you happy."

Chen Mudou remained unmoved.

Qin Yiguan sighed and said, "The reason why the Gemini Superbrain wants to materialize what's in our minds is perhaps because it wants us to see the most real things. What is reality? It's that things exist, but they can't necessarily be seen with our eyes."

As he spoke, Qin Yiguan looked at the dead Jiu Zhengxuan.

"Some people can't accept reality. Jiu Zhengxuan is like that, and so am I."

"Jiu Zhengxuan cannot accept that his father, Lu Zun, is an extremely evil person."

"I cannot accept the fact that my adoptive parents died by my own hand. I have seen my adoptive father's memory file more than once, but I dare not look at it."

"This is the least courageous thing I can do. No matter how many people I can cruelly kill, no matter how ruthless I seem to outsiders, it's still a thorn in my heart."

"It's fine to deny 'bad memories'."

Qin Yiguan then looked at Chen Mudou: "But you're even less intelligent. Why deny those most beautiful memories? You spent so much time with Jiang Mingshu, experiencing so many things together. Regardless of where he came from or what his true nature is, these experiences are the most real."

Chen Mudou remained unmoved.

"Mudou, do you know?"

"In fact, the Metaverse existed from the very beginning of humankind."

"However, back then, humans called it—a dream."

Qin Yiguan paused for a moment, scanning the surrounding land.

"The current Gemini Metaverse is, in fact, humanity's dream."

The saying "life is like a dream" has become a complete reality in the present day.

"In life, it's very difficult to judge what is real and what is fake."

Whether the Jiang Mingshu exists or not is merely a matter of opinion.

"In ancient times, there were eminent monks who were pure of heart and had few desires, yet lived incredibly fulfilling lives. The ultimate truth they realized was that the inner world is far greater than the external world."

There was a moment of silence.

Chen Mudou finally turned around slowly, "Thank you, Boss Qin. I know you're trying to persuade me, but no matter what you say, Jiang Mingshu doesn't exist. Just like Lu Zun said, no one in the whole world has ever seen Jiang Mingshu, no one knows what he looks like, no one knows what he wears..."

Chen Mudou paused, tears welling up in his dry eyes again. "Actually, in my interactions with the Mingshu, I've discovered more than once that no one around me can see him. It's like a beautiful dream, which has finally been shattered today. I now clearly realize that he... doesn't exist."

Who said that?

Qin Yiguan suddenly smiled and looked into the void. "Jiang Mingshu is an exceptionally handsome blond man. He is wearing a black Magician's suit, which looks like a nobleman's tailcoat. The suit is embroidered with gold foil patterns, and I happened to have studied those patterns before. They are the spiritual totem of Magician: two snakes entwined around the Mercury wand, a symbol of balance and opposition."

"He was wearing a Magician's top hat with a ten-pointed star on it, representing the number 10 and symbolizing a continuous and complete cycle."

"His smile has a charming curve at the corners of his mouth, giving off a gentle and very reliable feeling."

Chen Mudou's body suddenly froze, and he slowly turned his head to look at Qin Yiguan.

Qin Yiguan then chuckled and said, "Oh, by the way, that top hat-shaped brooch on his chest, was that a gift from you? I must say, it suits his style perfectly."

Chen Mudou's eyes widened, and his lips trembled slightly. "Boss Qin, you've seen him? How could you possibly have seen him? Where did you see him?"

Qin Yiguan smiled meaningfully, "In the Future."

In the CHP4 incident.

Qin Yiguan ran, desperately running, using his [Time Lag Syndrome], and ran ahead of time.

He foresaw what was about to happen.

They also brought back news of Song Miao.

He also... met the Magician.

It was the Magician, in the Future, shielded Qin Yiguan from one of Lu Zun's attacks!

But in that brief encounter, Dr. House's nine-linked rings rang out, and the boy returned to reality.

But he remembered the Magician's appearance.

"Mudou."

"You are a good girl. You are brave, thoughtful, and kind. You deserve everything."

You have to believe me.

"I saw Jiang Mingshu in the Future, which means he has always been there!"

As he spoke, Qin Yiguan hugged the trembling man tightly, "Teacher Qing said, 'Go forward bravely, live up to your youth, and have no regrets.'"

"Now, I'll add one more sentence."

"Where the heart leads, the spirit will follow; dreams will eventually become reality."
