Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 170 The Truth
"As far as you can remember..." Lu Nanxing didn't laugh, but said seriously: "Has it been a long time since there has been any winter?"

"How is that possible?" Shi Fei almost laughed out loud, "It will be winter in a few months. Are you... Forget it, I'm going out soon, how about we talk about it another day?"

Shi Fei immediately ordered him to leave. He felt that the little fat man in front of him was simply wasting his time, and what he said was incomprehensible and illogical.

However, Lu Nanxing did not intend to give up.

He decided to give Shi Fei some drastic measures to let him discover the truth of the world, so as to break through his psychological defenses and obtain more clues about Shi Zichen.

Someone once revealed the truth about the Dream City to the "Dream Man" in person.

Some "dreamers" will think this is nonsense and laugh it off; while others will realize the illusion of the world and fall into madness, or begin to pursue the so-called "reality".

Lu Nanxing was also gambling, betting that after Shi Fei knew the truth about the world, he would reveal more information about Shi Zichen to him.

It was risky! But he was already taking risks, so why not take even bigger risks?
How can you catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den?

"Do you want to know the truth of the world? Do you want to understand the meaning of life?" Lu Nanxing suddenly spoke, his voice low and mysterious.

Shi Fei looked at him as if he was looking at a madman.

He began to regret letting Lu Nanxing into the house.

What the hell, they let in such a fool talking nonsense so early in the morning!
"Yes or No?" Shi Fei made up a random question.

He also understood the joke, it was purely to kill time on his way south.

Lu Nanxing smiled slightly and said slowly: "Do you know? This place... is actually a dream."

"Dream you!" Shi Fei couldn't help but yelled, "Get out of here!"

He dreams every day, how could he not know what it feels like to dream?

No one knows how to dream better than him!

"It seems you don't believe it!" Lu Nanxing said slowly.

Nonsense, who in their right mind would believe that?

Lu Nanxing decided to add fuel to the fire: "Then think carefully, how long has it been since you left this city?"

"How long?" Shi Fei sneered, opened the door and motioned Lu Nanxing to leave quickly. "I'm not on a business trip, so I won't leave the city unless it's necessary. It will probably be a few years."

In the past few years, he has hardly left the city, and he doesn't even have the desire to leave.

"How many years is several years?" Lu Nanxing asked with a smile.

"Several years..." Shi Fei answered subconsciously, but the words were suddenly stuck at his lips.

He thought carefully about his life in the past few years, but found that apart from going to work, going home from get off work, eating, and sleeping, he seemed to have no other memories.

When was the last time you went out of town?
How...why can't I remember anything at all?
Seeing Shi Fei frowning, Lu Nanxing continued, "Can't remember? Have you ever thought about what you did for a living before? Where did you go to college? Where did you go to elementary school?"

My previous job, it seems...it seems to be something else?

Shi Fei felt his mind went blank, as if it was blocked by something and he couldn't remember anything.

He is obviously in his thirties and has changed several jobs, but why is there no impression of him at all?

As for college, he remembered that he went to school in a very far place, had a bad relationship with his classmates, and even had a fight with them.

But where is that?

Who did he fight with?

Can not remember!

I can't remember anything!

What happened to my memory?
Shi Fei's face turned pale, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. He tried desperately to recall the past, but found that his memories were like a white mist, vague and elusive, impossible to grasp or see clearly.

Seeing Shi Fei's pale face, Lu Nanxing decided to give him another strong dose of medicine. He slowly said, "Do you still remember your parents?" "Parents?" Shi Fei's face suddenly changed.

His past was all fake, but his parents couldn't be fake too.

He has no friends, no lover, but he still has parents!

His parents worked hard to raise him, how could he forget them?

"I called him a few days ago. He said they were raising aliens and were getting rich. If life in the city was stressful, he would let me go back!" Shi Fei muttered to himself, as if trying to convince himself, "I have parents."

But at the same time, a greater fear emerged in his heart.

Because he can no longer remember what his parents look like.

Their faces, their voices, even their names...all blurred.

Why……

Why is this happening!

"If this is the alien you are talking about, do you think it is possible?" A picture of an alien appeared on Lu Nanxing's mobile phone.

It was a strange creature, with a long and slender body, well-defined muscles, and long forelimbs ending in sharp claws. Its torso was covered with a black exoskeleton with a fine texture on the surface, which looked both hard and flexible.

Technology and brutality, perfectly combined!
How could such creatures be farmed to make a fortune?
[…Now the village is raising aliens, and is slowly becoming wealthy. If it’s hard to make a living in the city, you can return to the village and raise aliens…]

When Shi Fei recalled what his parents said on the phone, it seemed so strange.

"No! I want to go back and take a look!"

Shi Fei yelled, rushed out of the house and headed straight for his car.

He started the engine and the car roared towards the road. Before dawn, his speed instantly soared to more than 120 miles per hour, like a roaring beast, rushing through the city streets.

His face was full of anxiety and cold sweat ran down his pale cheeks.

He couldn't believe it, it was all fake, it was all a dream!

No friends, no lover, no parents!

Then what is the meaning of his life?
He drove northwest along Tianbei Road.

He remembered that his hometown was only a few dozen kilometers away from the city, and it took no more than an hour to drive there.

But... I don't know why.

He drove on Tianbei Road for a long time. The scenery on both sides was still familiar, but he never drove out of the city.

He kept wandering around the city, as if he was caught in an endless loop.

Shi Fei's face became paler and paler.

He finally realized that what the fat boy said might be true.

He drove and drove, maybe an hour passed, maybe two hours passed.

At daybreak, he filled up another tank of gas and drove from dawn to dusk.

But he was still on Tianbei Road, and the familiar buildings were still on both sides, as if this road would never end.

"Bang! Bang!"

Shi Fei slammed his forehead against the steering wheel, tears as big as beans flowed from his eyes, and his eyes were full of despair!
It's all a dream!

He has no relatives, no past, and even no real self.

He has nothing and lives in an illusory world!
