Return to "Reality"

"It should be here. The structure of the dream was a little complicated, but I could still find the trail you took."

"Do dreams have trails?"

"Of course. And your trail was obvious, because all the others repeated themselves, while yours was different. Yours stood alone."

"Uniqueness?"

"Exactly. That was a very accurate way to put it." Martin turned to Hu Le and gave him a thumbs-up.

"Since we found it, let's get back quickly." Hu Le sounded somewhat anxious.

"What's the rush? Did you forget the nature of dreams?"

"What nature?"

"Time moves faster in dreams than it does in reality. You might have spent a long time dreaming, but only an instant may have passed in reality."

Hearing Martin's explanation, Hu Le suddenly remembered that dreams had such a property.

"So it's not too late for me to go back now?"

"Of course it isn't." Martin answered casually, then grabbed his wrist and pulled him forward...

The countless Doppelgangers before his eyes overlapped the instant his body was tugged. Those multicolored "onion slices" began to compress and fuse, becoming a single layer.

Hu Le felt his consciousness blur, and a thought suddenly struck him:

I'm one of the dream people too...

It was only because of Mo Ling that he had awakened from that dream.

Now that Mo Ling had awakened, it was time for him, as one of the dream people, to leave as well.

Feeling himself separating from Mo Ling, Hu Le sighed and said goodbye to the other part within his consciousness.

At the same time, Mo Ling also said goodbye to Hu Le.

The connection between their consciousnesses began to shatter, and the lonely souls were about to separate once more.

"If you get the chance, remember to spread the word about Dream City,"
