Chapter 1849: Chapter 1844: Morning Slumber
"What do you need me to do?"
After Lanaia, Professor Lisa, who was satisfied both materially and psychologically, finally proposed to take her leave.
Meanwhile, Research Assistant Miss Liushuang, upon confirming with Fu Qian that her help wasn’t needed, maintained her good attendance habits and headed to the Swordsmanship Department.
In the morning at the laboratory, only Fu Qian and Su Gao remained.
As Su Gao appreciated the surroundings, he directly inquired about the test content.
"Dreaming, do you remember our last meeting?"
Fu Qian responded straightforwardly, showing a ring on his hand as he spoke.
"That special dream? I remember."
Examining the dreamlike ring, Su Gao nodded.
"Including what I said last?"
Fu Qian continued to ask with satisfaction, naturally referring to not taking on the pursuit mission of the Frost Demigod.
"Yes."
"That’s good. However, today’s test is unrelated to that. I need you to enter the dream once more and try to control it as much as possible."
As he spoke, the ring began to shimmer, and the Clear Dream Ring opened immediately.
"Moreover, this time the dream won’t be very stable, so you must ensure it doesn’t break apart during the process."
...
Back during the Nightmare Corridor event, faced with the arrogant Alarakir, Su Gao had already demonstrated something extraordinary.
Not only did she immediately notice the pull from the dream realm, but she also directly entered it in reverse and maintained lucid dreaming awareness.
Later, with just a glance, she banished Brother Interlocutor, showcasing the Echo Power’s prowess.
This is precisely the talent I need.
Last time, in this very place, I attempted to carve a new path from the dream realm to the Mental World, and even touched upon the place where the gods were confined.
The final conclusion was that it completely confirmed my unique outsider identity, as some places were inaccessible.
The virtual realm created by the Clear Dream Ring is essentially a playground completely under my control.
Not only do I not dream automatically, but even this active dream shows no signs of connecting with the wisdom beings’ Mental World.
Honestly, this doesn’t affect me too much.
Even if Red Moon’s consciousness isn’t fully awake, it’s still not difficult to open a door for me.
Interestingly, when previous attempts failed, Fu Qian’s focus was already on the unequal treatment of outsiders.
Why did this situation occur?
Or what is the essence of the Emissary’s Mask "syncing" to this world?
Clearly, many warehouse predecessors adapted well to the local customs.
This is undoubtedly a deep subject, best approached by seeking advice from more predecessors on one hand, and on the other, having the rare teammate like Su Gao with such unique traits conveniently appear.
Fu Qian’s idea was to see if she could help open a channel from the dream realm to the Mental World.
This would assess the severity of the discrimination faced by outsiders.
...
The dream expanded, and the scene remained unchanged.
Miss Su Gao entered almost completely in sync, without any resistance.
"It does seem quite unstable."
She clearly kept the previous words in mind, remained silent initially, sensed for a while, and then gave her conclusion.
This was because the dream even lacked a theme.
As the Master of the Dream Realm, how could one not sense the soap-bubble-like tremors of the dream as Miss Su Gao gazed around?
Undoubtedly, this dream was set by Fu Qian with Su Gao at its core.
But compared to previous operations, the biggest difference is that Fu Qian didn’t set any conditions for the dream’s end.
Without an endpoint, everything in between becomes hard to define.
The end condition is essentially an anchor for the dream’s existence; it is precisely the end that makes the middle process more stable.
However, the purpose of this attempt is to let Su Gao maximize control over the dream involving her.
Fu Qian has always kept the key points of dream erosion summarized in previous practical experiences clear.
Most ordinary dreams exist with the premise that the subject does not realize they are dreaming; once they do, it becomes unstable or even shattered.
Yet, realizing this also brings a benefit: one no longer walks through the dream as an ordinary person but transforms into a master-like figure similar to oneself.
Now, Miss Su Gao needs to do is ensure the dream doesn’t shatter, and maximize the development of the second point; only then can the dream break free from its restraints.
Put simply, I need to foster a dream subject with almost the same authority as a master, and let her surprise me.
Therefore, elements like end conditions, belonging essentially to my strong imprint, must be avoided as much as possible.
Although this increases the difficulty for Su Gao in maintaining the dream.
"Find the balance point, step into the deepest part... this is your dream, I’m just a spectator."
Facing Su Gao’s assessment, Fu Qian nodded without changing his sitting position.
"Alright."
Responding with just one word, Su Gao, fully understanding, no longer paid attention to Fu Qian.
She stood up, walking in this not too large space, and quickly gained a lightness that wouldn’t exist in reality amid the unconstrained sound of her footsteps.
She seemed particularly fond of the curtain’s pattern, and after a moment she came to the window, gently caressing and appreciating it, she pulled it aside.
Behind the curtain, on what was originally a stone wall, there was now a door.
Wonderful.
The door has nothing to do with Fu Qian, this change clearly indicates Miss Su Gao’s high degree of control over the place.
Additionally, the dream stabilized.
The volunteer didn’t disappoint and did very well.
Creaaaak—
At this moment, that small round-top door was opened with a not too pleasant sound, both near and distant, outside was a suffocating darkness.
But it wasn’t night; it seemed even more tranquil, and as Su Gao took a step outside, Fu Qian even felt the silent whirlpool within—
That’s all.
Just as Fu Qian sought to experience more, it was already a sunny morning, with no trace of Su Gao.
The answer is that discrimination against outsiders is severe...
With a long sigh in heart, Fu Qian ended the dream in reflection.
Still in his laboratory, while Miss Su Gao, who assisted in the test, lay on the table before him.
Looking at her sleeping face, sweetly sleeping like never before, Fu Qian took a sip of the slightly cool tea beside him, not in a hurry to wake her.
