Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 292 Quarrel
After eating noodles and drinking wine, Shi Fei said goodbye to Chenxiang.

He was just passing by here, and seeing Chenxiang was purely accidental, or in other words, it was just what he wanted to do. Just like when he first saw Chenxiang, everything was just what he wanted to do.

Chenxiang really wanted to keep Shi Fei to stay for a few more days, but Shi Fei was determined to leave. Chenxiang had no choice but to stuff some local specialties into Shi Fei's pockets and watch him leave.

Shi Fei carried the heavy package, waved with a smile, turned and walked into the street of the town.

Shi Fei didn't walk far when he felt strange electromagnetic waves pulsating near his temple. He knew that a call had come. There was only one person who knew his phone number.

Shi Fei answered the phone, his tone calm: "Shi Zichen, what's the matter?"

"Where are you now?" Shi Zichen's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

"What happened in the small town next to Mount Hua?" Shi Fei said.

Shi Zichen said on the phone, "We are all from the Dream City, and were thrown into an endless nightmare by the Supreme God Church. We all want to return to the Dream City. I think we should be honest with each other. Don't you think so?"

Shi Fei said: "Yes! That's what happened."

Shi Zichen's voice became serious: "Some people say that you are the extraterritorial demon that appeared hundreds of years ago."

Shi Fei replied nonchalantly: "You never told me that the gods became mortals!"

The department where Shi Zichen works has been dealing with all kinds of strange things, especially the nodes left after the Emperor of Heaven blew up the Heavenly Dao. However, Shi Zichen did not reveal this to Shi Fei when they first met.

"..." Shi Zichen on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and then said, "I thought that was not important to you."

Shi Fei also replied to him, in a calm tone: "I thought it didn't matter that I was called an extraterritorial demon by the gods before."

There was silence on the other end of the phone again.

Whether in the real world, in the dream city, or even in the dream before his eyes, Shi Zichen has always been the character who handles various strange events. Over time, he naturally developed a subtle mentality of "I know a lot, I understand a lot".

Just like the last time he and Shi Fei had dinner in a noodle shop, Shi Fei treated him warmly, but he was wary of Shi Fei. He always thought that Shi Fei was just an ordinary NPC in the dream, and he was inherently contemptuous of him.

When they met last time, Shi Zichen did not take Shi Fei seriously, and only regarded him as a "chance accident" rather than a "reliance". His real reliance was to climb to a higher position after his promotion, and use the power of this world government to find the Lord of Dreams and escape from the dream.

So, when Shi Fei mentioned using his own method to find the Lord of Dreams, Shi Zichen didn't take it to heart.

Until just now, someone from another department called him and asked if he knew any detailed information about Shi Fei. He also had contact with that department, which was responsible for the files of the gods.

Over the past few decades, many former gods have reappeared in the human world. Some of them have become ordinary people, while others have come into contact with the government to jointly maintain the status quo.

That department has its own contact information for the gods in the human world.

When Shi Zichen heard that Shi Fei had appeared in this world nine hundred years ago, caused a big commotion in the Heavenly Palace, and was even taken away by a saint's magic weapon, he was shocked.

He immediately realized that Shi Fei was not telling him the truth, so he called Shi Fei to get clarification.

But he didn't expect that Shi Fei's answer was so neither humble nor arrogant, which even left him at a loss as to where to start.

Shi Zichen then realized that he had underestimated Shi Fei. He quickly said, "You are an extraterritorial demon, how can this not be important?"

"Strictly speaking, you are also an extraterritorial demon!" Shi Fei said with a smile: "Why is this important?"

To the gods, Shi Fei is an extraterritorial demon. Is Shi Zichen not an extraterritorial demon? Shi Fei's words were impeccable, leaving Shi Zichen no room for improvement. "You've lived that long?" Shi Zichen could only change the subject, with a tentative tone.

"In dreams, time has no meaning to us." Shi Fei replied indifferently.

"Why do you want to get in touch with agarwood?" Shi Zichen asked again.

Shi Fei replied: "That was just a fate left over from many years ago! I was just a passer-by passing by there."

"Do you have a grudge against Lao Zhang?" Shi Zichen continued to ask on the phone.

"I have had conflicts with many gods, but I can't find any trace of the five bastards who have had the most conflicts with me. Do you know their whereabouts?" Shi Fei asked back.

Shi Zichen was silent for a moment, then replied, "I don't know."

"Do you know who I'm talking about?"

"I know!" Shi Zichen certainly knew who the five bastards Shi Fei was asking about were. They were the five saints of the past. They were once the top existences in this world, but the Emperor of Heaven broke through the air and they disappeared.

Maybe he fell, maybe he became a mortal.

"Then do you know where Master Nanhua is?" Shi Fei asked again.

"I don't know either." said Shi Zichen.

"I don't know this, I don't know that. Why are you calling?" Shi Fei asked again.

He had completely dominated the conversation.

"I..." Shi Zichen was stunned by the question, and said anxiously, "I just called to ask about the situation between you and Lao Zhang's family."

Shi Fei did not answer the question directly, but continued: "Are you an investigator from the Dream City, or a relevant department in this world? Don't forget what you are doing?"

Shi Zichen said anxiously: "All my work and efforts are also for finding out the Lord of Dreams!"

Shi Fei said calmly: "That's good. Remember your original intention and don't be distracted by other things!"

On the other end of the phone, Shi Zichen was completely silent. He had nothing to say. He knew that he had indeed underestimated Shi Fei this time. And Shi Fei had already seen through his thoughts.

The conversation between the two ended like this, and they parted on bad terms.

Shi Fei hung up the phone and continued to follow his heart. He walked through the desert, the grassland, the bustling city, and also came to the snowfield.

After coming down from the snowy plains, he came to a remote mountain town. Even in such a remote place, there was a rural road that could be used for driving.

Shi Fei walked along the rural road for an unknown distance and came to a village. There were only a dozen people in the village, most of whom were elderly. Under a big tree in the middle of the mountain village, there was a tall man cooking.

While he was doing it, he recorded it with the camera next to him, like a food blogger.

Shi Fei thought that person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he was.

So he moved closer, ready to take a look, who it was.
