[Comprehensive Yingmei] I cover this earth

After leaving the meeting room, Ian returned to the living cabin alone.

On the way, the last smile that Luther showed to him and the words he said were always in his mind.

"Although the bet is a bit too big, after all, the game has already started, and there is no reason to quit halfway." He seemed to be a little unexpectedly calm, "It's you——you don't look like that silly autistic kid who only knows how to play. My child, your temperament has changed. Can I suspect that you have actually regained your sobriety?"

At least in this moment, in the moment of ordering pollutants to self-quarantine or kill, you no longer feel like the captain of the Gestalt sweepers.

In this moment, you are "Samurai".

Ian didn't give an answer, and Luther didn't care too much. He said, "I won't ask why you refuse to wake up, I just want to ask..."

After a pause, he said, "Is there any sense in what we're doing?"

……

Does it all make sense?

Ian, who had returned to the living cabin, hadn't opened the door to go in. When he looked up, he saw Clark sitting on the roof looking down at him with a smile.

Ian was not surprised. He stepped on the ground slightly, jumped up into the air, and landed firmly beside Clark.

"Clark?" he asked. "What's wrong?"

"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?" Clark patted him on the shoulder, let him sit down beside him, and said with a little guilt, "Sorry, Ian. I have been busy with a lot of things recently. I can take you out to play."

"...It's okay, I'm having a good time myself." Ian said.

Ignore the words of the increasingly crazed natives who bow to him whenever they see him.

"We have to carry out the plan starting tomorrow." Clark said, he sighed, "Although you may not understand what I'm going to say next, but...if the plan is successful and we can successfully get out of this dream , and we can get along well for a long time in the future.”

They had just met for less than half a year, and this sudden dream broke all the peaceful life, and even made Ian into what he is now.

Ian:  …

Although, he suddenly felt that the top of his head sank, as if someone had planted a flag on it.

"Sometimes I'm really curious." Clark said, "Bruce and the others said that people who join Star Nest are driven by their own wishes... Ian, we have never talked about this topic, but I Still want to know, what is your wish? Maybe I can help."

Ian fell silent the moment Clark mentioned the topic of "dreams".

He raised his head and looked at the boundless starry sky. At the end of the darkness is a magnificent and gorgeous nebula. The boundless universe is expanding tirelessly. The footsteps of civilization are chasing the end of the universe, which will never be touched and tireless.

"I..." Ian said, but paused again.

Clark was slightly taken aback. He just asked a tentative question, but he didn't expect Ian to actually answer.

"I don't know...I'm not sure if I know." Ian had a blank expression on his face, "But I wish I knew."

Clark looked at Ian, saw the confusion in those strange but beautiful eyes, stretched out his hand to rub his head, and sighed softly.

Most people in the world have countless desires, and they are always running around for these desires, or in other words, consuming their lives, and think that this is the meaning of everything.

As for Ian, his wish is to wish that he can have a wish.

If it was the time when they lived together in the real world, Clark might not understand what Ian meant, but now he can understand.

Most people's wishes point to a "better situation or outcome", but for Ian, he has no idea what is better.A crippled scavenger who was born in the Gestalt, was born connected to the center, possesses most of the necessary knowledge of the universe, and whose only mission is to kill, his world is a huge cocoon, and he cannot see the outside world, or Willingness to know.

Even if he is a free man now, how can the inertia brought about by past experience be eliminated in a short while?

"This world is beautiful." Clark said, "When we go out, I will take you to meet more people and go to more places. We can go to another universe for a walk, there is no gestalt there, Although there are many hidden dangers, overall it is relatively orderly."

Ian nodded.

The two sat quietly on the roof for a while, and Ian said, "Clark."

Clark: "Huh?"

Ian: "..." He was silent for a long time, and finally said, "It's nothing."

He looked sideways at Clark's firm and angular chin, and dropped his eyes after a moment.

He actually understood what Clark said about the dream just now.

——Yes, as Luther said, he was actually awake.

He didn't know when he realized that he was dreaming. Maybe it was the moment he saw the imprint of the secret star, and the power of the gods affected him; maybe it was earlier, he didn't remember it, and it didn't matter.

The moment he realized the keyword dream, he remembered everything.

Including "Sweet Dreams", a solution to the dilemma created by the old sun.

The solution is actually very simple, he just needs to wake up, and this is not difficult for Ian.As long as he realizes that he is dreaming, he has the initiative and can wake up at any time.

But what about waking up?

Meimeng will be withdrawn from his spirit body, and the metropolis will return to its original appearance, but Meimeng is still hidden in the metropolis, and may parasitize the next unlucky person at any time, creating a second dream. Back and forth, never ending.

Although the Eye of the Secret Star can kill Mei Meng directly, it is at the cost of the lives of almost all the people in the metropolis. No one can bear the price of his direct attack, even if he does not target them.

Ian knew very well that after Metropolis was enveloped by the enchantment of dreams, the time inside the enchantment was suspended at that moment.And at that moment, Clark was the closest to him.

This also means that if he escapes from the dream and ejects the beautiful dream from his body, there will be a high probability that Clark will be the next one to be tricked.This is the disgusting and difficult part of the dream, if it is not completely killed while it is still outside the body, then there will be no peace forever.

However, among all the members of Star Nest, Ian is the least adept at manipulating spirit bodies.This is also the reason why he can't do anything about the entire dream universe. He can't kill the dream without affecting the people in the metropolis.

Although Meimeng has completely turned into a dog at the foot of the Eye of the Secret Star, this matter is precisely because the intelligence between the warrior and the Eye of the Secret Star is one-way.

The information that the samurai knew was known to the eyes of the secret star.

However, the information known to the Eye of the Secret Star may not necessarily be known to the warriors.

Of course, it is not impossible to know, but the pollution price paid may cause more serious consequences.

Clark didn't know why Ian hesitated to speak. He thought for a while and said, "I still have time tonight. I'll take you to a place."

Ian: "Where?"

Clark stretched out his hand to hug Ian, and said with a smile: "You will know when you go."

……

What Clark took Ian to was a planet two star systems away.

Looking from a distance, the planet exudes a fascinating light under the light of the star, and the countless smooth and flat cut surfaces are shining with different colors of light, which is crystal clear.

"Isn't it amazing?" Clark took Ian floating in space, "On the earth, they call this substance a diamond, but this substance is not very common in the ecological environment of the earth, so it is very valuable. But in On this planet, more than 90.00% of the crust is covered by diamonds."

He paused and said with a smile: "Do you know what is the most interesting thing? This star was abandoned by the Federation. The reason given is that the crust is all diamonds, and the habitability is too low to be colonized. "

As a result, this planet that was not recognized by the Federation and the creatures of the entire universe became the most precious treasure left in the sea in this starry sky.

Ian opened his eyes wide and looked at the planet, with a twinkle in his eyes.

"I like it," said Ian, "but, maybe...it still looks too drab."

"Perhaps life has already sprouted under the diamond crust, and a new life form is brewing." Clark said, "It's just that our understanding of the universe is still too narrow to understand those possibilities that sound incredible. "

After finishing speaking, he looked down at Ian and said, "But no one can deny its beauty and preciousness, and its meaning of existence is unique."

Ian was slightly taken aback, and he also looked at Clark, with a smile slowly showing in his eyes.

He just didn't like to talk, or he was used to not talking, not because of his slow reaction or stupidity, he could easily hear the meaning of Clark's words.

……

After returning to the residence, Clark mysteriously took out a beautiful fingernail-sized diamond from his pocket, and handed it to Ian: "This is for you, is it beautiful?"

Ian took the diamond and said, "Is it from that planet?"

"Well," Clark said, "because it looks like your eyes."

The dense cuts on the surface of the diamond are extremely flat and smooth, as if it was cut by a machine, it is crystal clear, reflecting light of different colors, and it is indeed very similar to Ian's eyes.

Ian held up the diamond and placed it in front of his eyes, as if carefully looking at the outside world through the clear material.

"Thank you, Clark." He said, his eyes lit up, and at that moment, they were even brighter than the diamonds in his hands.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Luther returned to the habitat, he opened the communication link and connected to Bruce Wayne's terminal.

"Wayne." He looked up at the pair of clear blue eyes on the opposite side, and said in a deep voice: "I have two things to tell you, considering how well you know 'them', maybe you are the only one who can Someone who understands the situation and responds appropriately."

Without waiting for Bruce on the opposite side to react, he immediately said: "First thing, I'm infected, don't worry, I will die in a place where no one is there tonight. The coordinates of the current storage location of the spore bomb have been sent to Your terminals, secure them."

Afterwards, he ignored Bruce's slightly astonished expression, and continued:

"Second thing...you need to talk to 'Samurai'. Maybe he has a very different opinion about Sweet Dreams than we do."
