My dream connects to three thousand years later.

It's a pity that Chapter 1 can't be skipped!

"So, for you, the whole world is a dream?"

"Yes! To be precise, it's an incredibly realistic dream! Every time I fall into a deep sleep in the real world, I wake up in this dream world!"

"And I fall asleep in this dream world, and I also wake up in the real world."

A long queue formed at the bank counter, while some people who weren't in a hurry chose to wait in the bank's lounge area. On a sofa against the wall, a man and a woman were chatting and laughing quietly.

"Is it possible that this world is the real world, and the other side is a dream?"

“Absolutely not!” Chu Zhu said decisively, without waiting for the woman to ask a question, “Because as long as I die in this world, I can choose to wake up in another world.”

"The next time I enter the dream, I will reset to a random point in time within 24 hours before my death! Of course, I can also choose not to wake up in another world and directly force a reset to a random point in time within 24 hours before my death."

“It’s just that it’s really uncomfortable,” Chu Zhu said lazily, sitting on the sofa. After thinking for a moment, she gave a somewhat inaccurate analogy, “It’s like staying up all night! Of course, it’s uncomfortable, but sometimes when I’m stuck or desperately want to solve a puzzle, I’ll force myself to stay up until I completely solve it!”

"But that was in the past. I could handle it when I was young... Now, if I don't wake up in reality and reset five times in a row, I feel like I'm about to die!"

After a brief pause, Chu Zhu continued, "Would you consider a world where the dead can return to their original state as real?"

"You're really interesting. When you say you were young, do you mean you're old now?" Lu Muxue, who had dyed her hair red, became interested.

"However, according to your logic, doesn't that mean the world has been reset countless times in your eyes? And that you're eager to unravel a certain mystery? You treat the world as a dream, as a game! So, you think you're like a player in a game, knowing a lot about this world from a god-like perspective?"

"I wouldn't call myself God! After all, I'm far from being omniscient," Chu Zhu chuckled. "But I know about 60% of what's going on in this city."

"So, all you know about this city right here?" Lu Muxue blinked.

“Other places know too, but the farther away they are, the less they know!” Chu Zhu shrugged. “But it’s all the same, because as long as I want to know one thing, I will eventually understand the truth!”

After a moment's thought, Lu Muxue chuckled, "Little brother, is this how you flirt with your older sister? Too bad, I'm not your type! But, the whimsical ideas of young boys during puberty are indeed quite interesting! I don't completely dislike them. How about we talk again when you're a bit older?"

"Unfortunately, all of this is true." Chu Zhu remained calm as always.

“How could that be?” Lu Muxue found it amusing. “Even if you’re young, you should know how sensitive this is if it’s true, right? What will you do if I leak it out? Aren’t you afraid that after I leak the information, you’ll be arrested and tortured by bad guys?”

"I told you, it's just a dream!" Chu Zhu said noncommittally, then added meaningfully, "Besides, if nothing unexpected happens, you won't remember it for long!"

Lu Muxue: "Hmm?"

According to what was said before, as long as he dies, time will reset, which means he's about to die? Or is he going to commit suicide? No!
Lu Muxue found it increasingly amusing; how had she fallen for the other person's rhetoric? Shaking her head, she casually pulled out her phone.

"Your mom will call you in about twelve seconds! Then she'll tell you she can't come anytime soon," Chu Zhu said abruptly, her attitude as lazy as ever. "As for the specific reason, it's because she ran into her best friend, whom she hasn't seen in a long time, on the way! They got so engrossed in chatting that you'll have to suffer a bit..."

Anyway, your business today isn't urgent!

Lu Muxue paused in her action of opening the screen, looking at Chu Zhu with a strange expression. "So, you actually know my mom? No way, she's starting to arrange blind dates with kids like you now? She shouldn't be this cold and distant..."

At that very moment, the phone rang.

Lu Muxue was stunned for a moment, her brows furrowing more and more. She estimated in her mind that about ten seconds had indeed passed.

After answering the phone, Lu Muxue chatted casually for a couple of minutes before hanging up.

"Alright, although I don't know what price she paid you to play this prank on me! But now," Lu Muxue's eyes darted around, her tone changing, "I'll give you double the price, how about you come back with me to get rid of this prank? As long as..." "Ten!"

"Ok?"

"Nine, eight, seven..."

Watching Chu Zhu calmly count and stand up, Lu Muxue inexplicably thought of what Chu Zhu had said earlier...

Death resets everything! And—

If nothing unexpected happens, you'll soon forget...

No, why is she getting more and more involved with what the other person is saying?

"Five, four..."

Chu Zhu acted quickly, grabbing Lu Muxue's wrist and calmly pressing her against the wall, just like herself. One side was a wall, the other a pillar! It created a natural... perfect spot for a wall slam, a place with no escape?

Lu Muxue: "???"

Seriously? I thought it was a cute little puppy, but it turned out to be a big wolfhound...?

The next moment.

"Boom——"

A deafening roar, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, erupted, causing the entire bank building to tremble violently. The powerful impact shattered the bank's glass curtain wall, sending countless shards of glass flying in all directions like deadly projectiles.

Lu Muxue: "...Huh?!"

She blinked blankly, wondering if she was still asleep. She stiffly turned her head and looked around.

Flames, the stench of burning flesh, and screams of agony from people.

The once neat and orderly business hall was now a scene of hell. Tables, chairs, and counters were blown to pieces, with wood chips and metal parts flying everywhere, and some fragments stuck in the walls.

Some customers and bank employees were thrown against the wall, their bodies twisted and deformed, with blood gushing from their mouths, noses, and ears, staining the surrounding ground red.

A little further away from the explosion, some people were hit and pinned down by falling ceiling debris, only able to make faint cries for help; others had deep cuts from flying glass that exposed bone; and still others were engulfed in flames, rolling around in agony.

Everything was real...it was disgusting!
"You!" Lu Muxue turned her head blankly, looking at the composed Chu Zhu. His background was a sea of ​​fire, yet he was completely unharmed; not even his clothes were blackened by the flames!

She would believe you if you said you were filming a movie here.

"I'll save you this time!" Chu Zhu said calmly, but then laughed out loud, "However, you'll soon remember nothing... After all, everything that happens in a dream is meaningless!"

Lu Muxue: "..."

Chu Zhu placed one hand on Lu Muxue's shoulder and gently pressed down, causing her to sit on the ground with a thud. Chu Zhu then casually pulled up a pile of half-burnt, tattered money tree from the explosion, completely covering Lu Muxue behind it.

"Don't come out if you don't want to die! Then," Chu Zhu turned around, took a fox mask from his pocket, and put it on his face, "Time to move on to the story mission!"
