【Law of the Abyss】

Mu Bei took a step back.

"No, what should I do if I give it to you?"

The woman smiled, and her face switched quickly like an electronic screen, with countless faces appearing on it.

"Look, I have so many faces, why don't you just pick one?"

Mu Bei shook his head: "No, no matter how good those are, they are not my face. I only want my face."

The woman quickly changed her face, this time it was the face of a young girl.

"Do you like this one?"

Mu Bei didn't say anything because he found that the woman didn't listen to him at all. No matter what he said, the woman could automatically block out his content.

After a long time, the woman suddenly lost interest in talking to him. She sat alone beside the water mirror, talking to herself.

"You must think I'm crazy. Why do I have so many faces? Why does it have to be yours?"

Mu Bei didn't say anything. He and Qin Changqing looked at each other.

Why is this woman so strange? One moment she looks abnormal, and the next she looks quite pitiful.

Seeing that Mu Bei ignored her, the sadness on the woman's face could no longer be controlled, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. Was the woman crying?

She lowered her head, her shoulders heaving up and down, she covered her face with her hands, and cried quietly.

Gradually, the noise became louder and louder, and Mu Bei couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

He sighed and took a step forward, but was stopped by Qin Changqing: "Be careful."

Mu Bei nodded at him: "Don't worry, it should be fine."

He walked over to the woman and sat down, accompanying her quietly. The woman gradually stopped crying and turned to look at him.

"If my baby were still alive, he would be about your age."

Mu Bei didn't know how to respond, so he simply ignored it and just listened from the side.

The woman kept on talking and couldn't stop.

It turns out that this is where the woman’s child finally disappeared.

From then on, the woman would wait for him here every day. She believed that he would come back one day, but she waited for so long and never saw him.

Until one day, a man appeared and gave her a boat.

"You take the helm here and send the men up."

"Where are we going up?"

"You don't need to know, the ship will know."

"But I have to wait here for my child to come back."

The woman is reluctant. She doesn't want to spend any time and energy on anything that has nothing to do with her child.

The man smiled and told her.

"One day a young man will come and ride on your boat, and he will help you find your child."

Hope shone in the woman's eyes: "Really?"

The man's figure disappeared, and a blue boat stopped quietly in front of her.

The woman looked at the man who suddenly appeared and disappeared, and a strange thought came to her mind.

Could he be a god? What he says must be true!

When a person is in despair, any glimmer of hope that suddenly appears will be regarded by him as his only hope, and he will believe in it and practice it at all costs.

Women are no exception. They believe what men say and do their best to put it into practice.

She rowed the boat and carried countless people on board, but she never met the young man the man was talking about.

The woman's heart began to waver, and she began to doubt whether everything that happened before was just an illusion.

Maybe there was no man at all, and all this was just her imagination? Maybe she didn't have a child at all, and maybe all this was fake?

However, the woman immediately rejected this idea. No, the child, her child, how could she forget him? She was a bad mother.

She spent the whole day in doubt, anxiety, self-blame, pain and uneasiness. At one point, she hated herself so much that she didn't even want to see her own face. She didn't want to face the hopeless days with such a face every day.

So she begged everyone on her boat to give her their face.

Of course no one wanted to, so...

The woman stopped and looked at Mu Bei beside her with a smile on her lips.

"Guess what I did to them?"

Mu Bei shook his head. He was horrified by what the woman said, but also felt sorry for her.

"What did you do to them?"

The woman slowly tore off her face, put it in her hand, and handed it to Mu Bei to see.

“I ripped their faces off.”

Mu Bei stared at the face in the woman's hand, only to find that it was not a face at all, but a piece of transparent, thin paper.

He breathed a sigh of relief; he was almost scared by the woman just now.

"That's of course impossible. You'll die."

The woman grinned at Mu Bei.

"I can only copy their faces so that I will have their faces too and they will not have any damage."

The woman bit the word "damage" lightly, and a cunning light flashed in her eyes, which was caught by Mu Bei.

Qin Changqing happened to pull Mu Bei at this moment, and Mu Bei looked at him in confusion.

He whispered in Mu Bei's ear: "I know who she is."

Mu Bei was a little surprised: "Who?"

Qin Changqing said softly: "Dream mother."

"Dream Mother? What is that?"

Qin Changqing immediately explained to Mu Bei.

Dream Mother is the mother of Dreamless Beast. She is the weaver of all dreams in the world. Her child, Dreamless Beast, is completely opposite to her. It cannot weave dreams and can only survive by devouring the dreams of others.

Mu Bei was a little shocked. How come he had never known that such a thing existed in this world?

Qin Changqing saw his confusion and smiled slightly.

"In the colorless sea, everything that exists is reasonable. There are always many things in this world that we cannot understand."

Mu Bei nodded: "So, her child is the Dreamless Beast?"

Qin Changqing nodded.

"I've seen him."

A beautiful face flashed quickly in Mu Bei’s mind, the young man sitting among the dreaming flowers.

Wait, why did he disappear later?

Mu Bei glanced at Qin Changqing and told him what had happened before.

"Do you still remember?" Mu Bei pointed to his neck.

Qin Changqing suddenly realized: "It turned out to be him. At that time we..."

Mu Bei nodded: "It must be a dream."

Yes, that must be the case. The Dreamless Beast can control dreams, so his Meteorite Sword became disobedient and attacked him. This makes sense.

Mu Bei didn't know what happened between Heiyuan and Wumeng Beast. He naively thought that Wumeng Beast was just hiding.

Where is it hiding? Mu Bei looked around and saw large clusters of dream flowers floating on the water.

"I understand."

Qin Changqing looked at him in confusion: "What do you understand?"

Mu Bei walked up to the woman, who was still holding the piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing in her hand.

"I know where your children are."

The dream mother's expression changed slightly, "What did you say?"

Mu Bei said solemnly again: "I know where your child is."

"where?"

"There he is."

Mother Meng looked in the direction of Mu Bei's finger, and saw only a gigantic dream flower swaying in the wind...
