Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 280 Journey
Shi Zichen felt dizzy after a few days of hard work. He knew it was caused by lack of rest.

I have been staying up late to work overtime every night these days, and I just set up a big tent anywhere on the mountain to sleep during the day. It would be strange if I could sleep well.

In their line of work, the workplace is not fixed, and overtime is commonplace. But unlike those workers who work 996, who create profits for their bosses, they work overtime to serve the people and for the stability of the country.

No matter how hard or tiring the work is, they are willing to do it.

When he arrived at the town at the foot of the mountain, he was about to take a shower and rest when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

That person is...

He thought he was seeing things, but he secretly changed the angle and looked at it again carefully.

No, it won't be wrong!

Shi Zichen was about to open his mouth to shout, but he realized that he didn't know Shi Fei's name at all. So he thought for a moment and shouted, "Building 30!"

He remembered Shi Fei said that he lived in Building 30 of Chunhua Community.

The man didn't respond, so Shi Zichen shouted again, "Hey, Chunhua Community Building 30!"

The man turned around with a little confusion, and when he saw Shi Zichen, his eyes changed from surprise and astonishment to surprise.

Shi Zichen confirmed through eye contact that the man was the one he had met in the Dream City before.

"You..." Shi Fei walked over and said pretentiously: "You are...why are you here?"

"I was wondering, why are you here!" Shi Zichen was also surprised that Shi Fei was here. Shouldn't this person be in the Dream City?
"Your colleague found me and said he wanted to see you..." Shi Fei said, "He said his name was Lu Nanxing."

"Lu Nanxing..." Shi Zichen's expression changed slightly, and he guessed: "Could it be..."

Since Shi Fei is no longer in the Dream City, what about Lu Nanxing?

"This is not the place to talk, come with me!" Shi Zichen said.

They came together to Shi Zichen's car, which was a shabby sedan.

It's quieter here.

"Could it be that Lu Nanxing is here to track me and has fallen into an endless nightmare with you?" Shi Zichen expressed his guess.

"That's right! Is this an endless nightmare? But I don't think there is a nightmare here!" Shi Fei said sarcastically: "In the last world, that was a nightmare. The Old Ones were everywhere. Tentacles and eyeballs, so disgusting."

"Tell me about you and Lu Nanxing first!" Shi Zichen cares about his colleagues very much.

"Okay!" Shi Fei called Lu Nanxing over and told him in detail how he discovered that the world was a dream, his past was hypocritical, and how he was wrapped in black fog.

"You..." After hearing about Lu Nanxing's whereabouts, Shi Zichen looked at Shi Fei and said calmly that his past was a dream: "You are strong enough!"

Isn't it true that most people would collapse when they knew that their past was all a dream and that they were just NPCs in the Dream City. Their outlook on life would change dramatically.

"…It's okay! We must always look forward!" Shi Fei said.

"That's right! We have to look forward! My name is Shi Zichen, I believe you have heard my name from Lu Nanxing." Shi Zichen stretched out his hand.

"My name is Shi Fei. We are still a family!" Shi Fei also stretched out his hand.

After shaking hands, Shi Zichen said, "I was thrown into a nightmare by the Supreme God Church. Luckily, I am doing pretty well here."

"That's pretty impressive!" Shi Fei said, "I actually did better in nightmares."

A place like Nightmare is so prosperous, that's quite a feat! "Because this is not a nightmare for humans, but a nightmare for gods." Shi Zichen said with a strange smile, "So it's more friendly to humans."

"Huh?" Shi Fei was stunned and said, "Do gods also dream?"

Dreams are human subconsciousness. Immortals can restrain their subconsciousness and therefore do not have dreams.

"This immortal is rather strange. He particularly likes to dream." Shi Zichen said, "He has had many dreams, most of which are beautiful dreams, but this place is a nightmare."

"What would be considered a nightmare for a god?" he asked rhetorically.

Shi Fei understood: "Of course he has no power at all and has become a mortal!"

"That's right!" Shi Zichen said, "So in this dream, there will be many gods who have fallen to the mortal world, and there will also be some special situations. I have been in this dream for more than ten years, and the department I joined now is to deal with this."

"You actually joined such a department?"

Shi Zichen shrugged. "There's nothing I can do. I have to keep living. Just like you said, I have to look forward. I also have a job in the real world."

He told Shi Fei in detail about his work in the real world, which was similar to this department's and involved dealing with some special situations.

"Oh~" Shi Fei said, "I have a question now, why do you know that this dream was made by a god?"

In the previous dream, Shi Fei was ejected from the dream before he even saw the Lord of the Dream.

It is difficult for people in a dream to know that it is a dream. Shi Zichen is just an ordinary person, how can he find the master of the dream?
"Because people in the department have seen him." Shi Zichen said frankly.

Shi Fei asked, "Where is he?"

Shi Zichen said: "He traveled all over the world, but I never saw him. Only senior people in their 70s and 80s saw him twice. It is said that he was a very free and strange old man wearing old clothes."

Shi Fei stared at him and said, "So, have you thought of a way to return to the Dream City?"

Since I have been thrown into an endless nightmare by the Supreme God's Church, is there any way to return to the City of Dreams?

"Of course I have thought about it!" Shi Zichen said as a matter of course: "If I stay in this department for a long time, I will be promoted and get to know the truth of this world, and then find the Lord of Dreams. Then, I can ask him to help me get to the next dream."

"Is the next dream the Dream City?" Shi Fei asked.

"Not necessarily! In the endless dream, people will not grow old and die anyway." Shi Zichen said: "If you are lucky, maybe, but if you are unlucky..."

He didn't finish saying bad luck, but Shi Fei understood what he meant. Bad luck was another nightmare, so he would continue to look for the Lord of Dreams and send him to the next dream.

One after another, one day, they will return to the city of dreams.

"This may take a very long time!" Shi Fei sighed and said, "It's like a long journey."

Shi Zichen said seriously: "But this is the only way!"

He had no other solution, but he had a stupid solution. Although the stupid solution was a little stupid, it was better than having no solution at all.

Only in this way can he return to the city of dreams from his nightmares, or even back to reality!

As for staying in the dream and becoming an immortal dreamer, he had no such idea at all.

"Are you going back to Dream City too?"

After a while, Shi Zichen suddenly asked.
