He spoke openly of his abilities. Meeting a player, and a living one at that, made him very happy. He held up the remnant he had just caught, "The remnants here are very interesting. They've clearly been dead for a very long time, um... at least billions of years, yet they haven't disappeared yet. They've even evolved strange oaths to keep them alive."

Lin Shenqu was incredibly excited. This was simply unbelievable. After all, these remnants were ordinary people. Such ordinary, weak souls had actually persisted for billions of years! Even if left standing, the souls of ordinary people would dissipate after hundreds or thousands of reincarnations. Without special opportunities, ten thousand years was the limit.

Lin Shenqu has never met an ordinary person who still has regrets after billions of years.

He pinched the dull remnant in his hand and carefully repaired this special "artifact". Only the remnant of a faint gray human silhouette remained. In Lin Shenqu's hand, a vague human face gradually appeared.

It was a teenage boy, wearing an everyday white T-shirt, black trousers, and a short buzz cut. His round face was blurry and had no facial features. Even when he was picked up by Lin Shenqu, he was unaware of his existence and just stood there blankly.

Lin Shenqu reached into the boy's translucent brain and fumbled for a long time. Regretfully, he took his snow-white hand out and shook his head. "Even if it recovers, it will be empty inside."

"Ah——" The boy let out an ambiguous howl, and seemed to be calling someone's name.

As he made the sound, many ghosts appeared nearby, staring at him but not moving.

"call…,"

The faint sound of the wind stopped, as if disturbed by the sound.

Lin Shenqu also felt something was wrong. He loosened his hand and stood away silently. An invisible big hand erased the boy who was frozen in place like an eraser.

"call……"

The sound of the wind resumed, and the silent ghosts still stood there, stunned, with orange-purple light passing through their transparent bodies.

Lin Shenqu, the wind brings rain, and the wind and mist rise at the same time.

The orange-purple sky moved.

The non-existent sun was moving rapidly, the light gradually changed from bright to dim, the outline of the city flowed in the light and shadow, and the figures of the ghosts gradually became clearer from blurry.

"It's time to go home. What should I eat today?"

"I don't want to work overtime, why hasn't this plan been passed yet?"

“It’s so tiring waiting at the traffic light.”

"The stars are so bright tonight, we can go catch cicadas."

"I don't want to write big characters anymore. Woohoo, I don't want to go to school. It's so tiring."

"Hello teacher, ■■...hasn't handed in his homework again."

"■■, good morning."

As night fell, Feng Lan clearly felt that the dream world had changed, and the ghosts kept repeating themselves incessantly.

The ghosts' voices were very low, about the same volume as the buzzing of text. The loudest sound was the obviously noisy wind in the sky.

The orange-purple clouds still fill the sky, but they appear cold at night, and lights of various colors light up in the deserted city.

Colorful signs in red, green, and blue, advertising screens, red lanterns lit up in Langfang, and orange lights in the yellow mud houses...

The city comes alive the moment night falls.

The gathered ghosts muttered and repeated the same sentence, then slowly dispersed.

"Cough cough." Feng Cuiyu coughed at a volume almost as loud as the ghosts.

"I don't want to write big characters anymore, ■■...I haven't turned in my homework yet."

No one paid any attention to the wind-driven cough. Only a few slow-moving ghosts remained, repeating the same words over and over without even glancing at him.

"It seems that after the world changes at night here, the demand for sound becomes weaker." Feng Lan also spoke in a low voice.

Lin Shenqu, infected by the atmosphere, looked around and whispered, "So, should we study the cause of the inner and outer worlds? Who is that blocked name? What exactly happened here billions of years ago..."

Feng Lan twitched the corner of her mouth and shook her head under Lin Shenqu's expectant gaze, "No, I want to take this opportunity to walk around the city."

They are exploring the privacy of a god while they are still in the god's dream. If they discover a taboo that the other party does not want others to see, it will be the end of them.

Lin Shenqu, who was rejected by Feng Lan, exclaimed "Ah" and looked at Feng Cuiyu with expectation.

Feng Cuiyu's expression remained cold as he slowly said, "I'm going to go look for my cat. If you see it, let me know."

The last sentence was said to Feng Lan. Feng Lan nodded and quickly separated from Feng Cuiyu.

Obviously, both of them knew that when they didn't know the conditions for the transition between the inner and outer worlds, the key was to explore as much as possible during this "safe" time when they could speak.

Lin Shenqu looked around and scratched his head in confusion. Feng Lan and Feng Cuiyu tacitly chose to go in opposite directions to his left and right. "Ah... why are you ignoring me? Is my suggestion not good? No one has any curiosity... Damn it..."

At night, sounds can be made, and Feng Lan's speed has increased a lot. Her spiritual sense also extends boldly. She has seen many figures of similar stature that were not seen during the day.

The only thing they have in common is that these figures have no faces.

Feng Lan stopped in a crowded fast food restaurant for five minutes and confirmed that everyone would only repeat one sentence and one thing.

"Hello, 5872, you can pick up your meal now."

"No, I want a burger! I want fries! You promised me—"

"I want a whole chicken meal with iced cola."

"Ring-ling——"

"Get your food."

Everyone was repeating themselves, frozen in a period of time, and some people couldn't even speak clearly.

Feng Lan looked at it. The clerk's uniform seemed very delicate at first glance, but in fact, it had already lost all the details, leaving only the most impressive red and black blocks, which were randomly left on the body, forming part of it.

The delivery man who comes in is just a blurry yellow block. He can only push the door, then move to the food collection counter and say "get the food", and repeat this process.

The other people in the store were equally blurry. Some of them could not even be distinguished as male or female. There was only a rough human figure sitting in the corner, mumbling something but not knowing what to say.

Because time is important to them.

It's been too long.

It has been so long that self-awareness and everything in the outside world have lost their meaning, leaving only a little memory that must be kept as an anchor.
