Bronya looked at Cocolia at the top, and felt that her mother's behavior was quite strange.
But she couldn't figure out the reason, so she could only turn around and leave after Cocolia told her to go to bed early.
After returning to her room and taking a shower to relieve the fatigue accumulated from running around all day, Bronya lay down on the bed and wrapped herself tightly with the quilt.
Perhaps because she was preoccupied with something, Bronya was unable to fall asleep until the second half of the night, when she finally closed her eyes in a daze.
At the moment of falling asleep, Bronya once again entered the outer world that fascinated her infinitely.
The sea breeze with a faint fishy smell blew across the harbor full of Japanese atmosphere. The girl took off even her underwear and stood under the crimson torii at the end of the mountain path in only a thin and comfortable suspender pajamas. She opened her arms comfortably and let the sea breeze lift her gray hair.
She enjoyed the dream very much, and everything in the dream seemed so real, as if she had really come to another world.
"I really want Mother to see what the world is like when it's not covered by the cold wave."
After enjoying it for a while with her eyes closed, Bronya turned her head to look at the winding mountain path with a torii gate standing at intervals.
After spending several consecutive nights in the same dream, Bronya was certain of one thing: in this real dream, she could explore this uninhabited harbor to her heart's content.
I have traveled to many places in the past few days, and the only place I haven't visited is the end of this mountain trail.
Thinking of this, the barefoot girl walked towards the top of the mountain with light and cheerful steps, clattering over the cold bluestone steps.
Anyway, this is a dream, and there is no one in this harbor except me, so there is no need to worry about anything.
The mountain path was not very long, and soon Bronya reached the top of the mountain and saw a huge, towering cherry tree.
That is one of the core beliefs of the Sakura Empire, the sacred tree.
There is a barrier formed by a circle of shimenawa ropes under the sacred tree. Whenever the sea breeze blows here, the awakening bell will emit a crisp sound, and a rain of flying cherry blossoms will fill the sky.
Before entering this dream, Bronya had never seen cherry blossoms, nor had she ever seen such a huge sacred tree.
She raised her head and looked at the treetops that looked like a giant umbrella with a dazed look until she was blinded by the petals blown by the wind and came to her senses.
Immediately—
"ah!!!!"
The girl covered her mouth and let out an incredible low cry.
……Dividing line……
"...the sacred tree?"
When Jiang Lianqiu saw the sacred tree in front of him, he was not confused for too long before he remembered what was in front of him.
"So, this is the Sakura Empire's naval base?"
"Why did I dream about this place?"
He muttered to himself, and recalled the conclusion that von Neumeow had reached not long ago.
The blue world was obviously approaching the world he was in now because of the ripple effect caused by the subspace that carried the representation signals of two universes at the same time.
Based on the analysis of Shokaku's situation, the distance between them is now probably close enough to affect each other.
By the way, because Jiang Lianqiu keeps running back and forth between the three worlds of Star Port, Bengtie and ZZZ, these three worlds are now almost tied together.
"Is this the influence that Feng Neumei was talking about? I dreamed directly of the Sakura Empire Naval Base?"
After figuring out the reason, Jiang Lianqiu felt a little relieved.
There was no sound of people around, only the rustling of treetops in the wind and the sound of waves in the distance.
Standing under the sacred tree, Jiang Lianqiu raised his hand and pressed his palm on the rough trunk.
The touch felt incredibly real, but he did not sense any mysterious power from the sacred tree.
"It must be because of the dream..."
"ah--!"
Behind me, there was a sudden cry...
Retracting his hand, Jiang Lianqiu turned around. When he saw the silver-haired girl wearing only suspender pajamas not far away, he raised his eyebrows: "...Bronya!?"
Bronya, who was covering her chest with one hand and her lower abdomen with the other, looked up in surprise when her name was called out.
"Who are you? Why do you know me?!"
Bronya's cheeks flushed with shame and anger, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She could only constantly comfort herself in her heart, this was just a dream, it was no big deal...
Damn it! If I had known I would see strangers in my dreams today, I would have slept with my clothes on!
Jiang Lianqiu took the initiative to look away, then lowered his eyes to look at himself.
Fortunately, fortunately, his clothes were intact in the dream. If they were the same as before he fell asleep—
—Hiss, he had been having sex with Xingjian Yahu for a full four hours before going to bed. Only after Miss Ya finally wailed about her failure in cultivation and fell asleep unwillingly did he close his eyes...
Jiang Lianqiu took off the cloak he was wearing and threw it over.
"Put it on first."
Bronya's vision suddenly went dark as the cloak covered her head. She hurriedly pulled off the cloak and wrapped herself tightly, then she breathed a sigh of relief. There was gratitude in her eyes as she looked at Jiang Lianqiu.
A wonderful fragrance that I had never smelled before filled my nose. I didn't know whether it was the mysterious boy in front of me who had a natural 3.5 fragrance or whether this dress was soaked in some precious incense.
"Sir, may I ask where this place is and who you are?"
With the cloak covering her modesty, Bronya calmed down, looked carefully at Jiang Lianqiu's eyebrows and eyes, and asked the doubts in her heart.
"This is a military port called Chongying, and my name is Jiang Lianqiu."
Walking down the steps in front of the sacred tree, Jiang Lianqiu slowly walked to a place not far from Bronya, his eyes falling on the blush that still remained on the girl's face.
"Why are you here? Do people from Beloberg also dream of another world?"
Bronya: “——!!!!”
The girl subconsciously took a step back, and the sole of her bare foot hit a bump on the bluestone floor, causing her to lose balance and fall backwards.
Jiang Lianqiu pulled Bronya into his arms.
Chapter 258: How to get out of the dream
Bronya wrapped herself in a cloak and sat on the steps in front of the sacred tree, hugging her knees.
She rubbed her feet lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
The dream was too real, and all her senses were indifferent to reality. The pain from bumping her foot just now hadn't subsided yet. What made her even more uneasy was that the soles of her bare feet, which used to be milky white with a healthy blush, had turned pitch black all the way...
Being seen in such an indecent state by a member of the opposite sex made Bronya wish for the first time that she would wake up from this dream as soon as possible.
The moment Jiang Lianqiu sat down next to her, Bronya's body stiffened visibly.
Bronya had been trained by Cocolia as the next Great Guardian since she was a child. She held a highly respected position in the entire Beloberg. However, she had never interacted with the opposite sex like she did now.
She frantically began to look for topics to talk about and took the initiative to ask about the current situation.
"Mr. Jiang, why do you appear in my dream?"
"Just call me by my name." Jiang Lianqiu propped his chin up with both hands and looked out at the distant sea. "I can return this question to you. Maybe the number 12 here is actually my dream?"
"Huh?" Bronya opened her eyes wide. "But, I've been dreaming about this place for several days now, and before, there was no one here except me."
Is this so...
Jiang Lianqiu was probably certain that this was probably not just a dream.
Seeing Jiang Lianqiu looking thoughtful and silent, Bronya frowned with some dissatisfaction.
"Lian Qiu?"
"Sorry, I was just thinking about something." Jiang Lianqiu came back to his senses and explained, "According to what you said, this shouldn't be a simple dream."
"How did you get in here?"
"I don't know." Bronya shook her head honestly. "Since the past few days, I've suddenly had this dream every night before going to bed."
"Rather than this, I'm curious, who are you?"
"You should have heard of aliens from outer space, right?" Jiang Lianqiu replied casually, "You can think of me as such a person. If I remember correctly, before your world was hit by the cold wave, aliens from outer space also descended upon it, such as those city builders."
Could aliens from outer space have such magical abilities?
Bronya was extremely surprised, but still couldn't figure it out: "Then why do you know me, Lianqiu? And why do you know so much about Beloberg? Beloberg hasn't had any outsiders come here for hundreds of years."
"That's just because you people think that no outsiders will come." Jiang Lianqiu shook his head.
Facing Bronya's puzzled gaze, Jiang Lianqiu told this girl, who had never had any contact with outer space, some information about other civilizations in the starry sky that knew about Yarilo, starting from the invasion of the antimatter army, to the outbreak of the star core disaster, to the company's judgment that Yarilo VI had fallen, etc.
Bronya's mind was in a mess after hearing this. She didn't expect that just by having a dream, she could know these secrets so easily.
"Star core... I've never heard Mother talk about this kind of thing before."
She didn't notice that because the information Jiang Lianqiu revealed was too shocking, she no longer cared about why Jiang Lianqiu knew her.
"Because she has been bewitched by the star core."
“——!!!!”
Bronya's expression froze, and then she became a little annoyed.
"You can't say that about Mother!"
"That's the truth, Bronya. Considering the time, you should have already come into contact with Xing, Sanyueqi, and Danheng, right?"
"You two are in the same group!" Bronya opened her mouth wide, "Wait, who is Dan Heng?"
Danheng didn’t set foot on Yalilo?
This doubt only flashed through Jiang Lianqiu's mind for a moment before dissipating. He continued, "Judging from your reaction, Cocolia has already told you that they are rebels trying to overthrow the Great Guardian?"
"I know you don't believe it now, but if possible, you can go to the lower area and meet those people who were blocked there by Cocolia."
"Also, the Xings appeared in Beloberg to seal the star core. They are pioneers on the path of development, clearing the galactic orbits and connecting one world after another. It is precisely because of their existence that different worlds in the universe can communicate with each other."
"The explosion of the star core severed the interstellar sea routes, isolating your world from the outside world. However, if the star core is sealed, the isolated Yalilo VI can be reconnected to the stars."
After Bronya digested the news for a while, Jiang Lianqiu turned the topic to Cocolia.
"However, star cores can also bewitch people. Cocolia was like that. Seeing no hope, she was bewitched by the star core and came up with the idea of letting everyone be engulfed by the cold wave, transforming them into monsters in the Rift, and coexisting with the cold wave and the star core."
"By the way, that star core is located on the top of Everwinter Ridge."
Bronya sat there in a daze, unable to accept this fact for a moment.
"Mother...how could she...?"
"Anyone who lives a life of despair, discovering that generations before them could only watch helplessly as the world was engulfed by a cold wave, with no way to reverse the situation, would suffer a mental breakdown. After all, only a few can persevere and maintain their original heart."
"Speaking of which, can you tell me about Xing and the others?" Jiang Lianqiu asked casually again.
Bronya, already in a state of confusion, didn't give the sudden change of subject any further thought. She replied, lost in thought, "Mother ordered their capture, but I lost them while leading the pursuit. They fled into the lower districts."
"I don't know who the Dan Heng you're talking about is. Among the three, apart from Xing and Sanyueqi, the one you mentioned, the remaining one calls herself Jizi."
Why did it change to Ji Zi?
"I'll ask them for confirmation." After calming down, Bronya raised her eyes and said to Jiang Lianqiu seriously, "I will also go to the downtown area as you said."
"As long as the facts are confirmed, I...I will definitely stop Mother!"
"Hurry up." Jiang Lianqiu nodded. "Because of the appearance of outsiders, Cocolia may take action in advance."
"She might still be saved now, but if she completely corrupts and accepts the power of the Star Core, then sealing the Star Core will also mean she will cease to exist."
Hearing this, Bronya suddenly became very anxious.
"But...but...how can I wake up on my own?!"
Chapter 259: The Trigger is Watching
"Don't worry."
Seeing Bronya almost crying, Jiang Lianqiu comforted her.
