Speaking of the Jade Dream, I first came to the New Territories for about three months and heard from veterans who were hiding in the wilderness. The legend is a prop that subverts time and space, which can create an independent space with distorted time and space. After entering the Jade Dream, time will be greatly slowed down and extended. A hundred days in the dream, and a moment of waking up in the dream is like a dream of yellow beams in ancient legends. However, although this legend has been widely circulated, no one has seen the true face of Jade Dream with his own eyes. Most people who swear to introduce their functions cannot come up with conclusive evidence.
Therefore, the Jade Dream is just a legendary prop for people to YY.
I put two reporters on the ground and said to Lu Wei.
"You mean, are we trapped in the Emerald Dream now?"
Lu Wei on the opposite side nodded: "At least this is the most reasonable answer I can get at the moment. You can look at the scenery outside the window." As he said that, he patted the windowsill behind him.
The scenery outside the window looked nothing unusual. The students walking on the campus were still in groups of three or three, and the somewhat abnormal campus atmosphere. It was no different from what I saw before entering the building. What I had to say... After careful observation, I finally found something inappropriate.
There were a few students who were walking quickly and were in a hurry. Before I walked into the teaching building, I walked to a certain location. After entering the building, it had been at least ten minutes. Why are they still there now?
When I turned around, I saw Lu Wei showing a strange smile.
"Mr. Wang, welcome back. This trip across time and space took thirteen minutes and twenty seconds, which was more than three times faster than ordinary people."
Thirteen minutes and twenty seconds? Is there such a long time? I feel that only five seconds have passed.
Lu Wei said: "But in my eyes, Mr. Wang stood in front of the window for thirteen minutes. In this building, all windows can be regarded as the intersecting part of the jade dream and reality. When your eyes or attention is focused on the reality outside the building, this phenomenon will occur: your consciousness follows reality, while your body stays. When the intersecting ends, it will be like Mr. Wang experienced. You think that time has only passed a few seconds, but in fact, thirteen minutes have passed in the jade dream. It is precisely because of the asymmetry of time that I initially judged that this is the internal space of the jade dream. After all, apart from this, I have not heard of any props that can distort time."
I turned on my phone and checked it. As he said, thirteen minutes had passed. If so, Lu Wei's analysis would be very likely true.
The Emerald Dream... is really eye-opening! It subverts time and space, this is an unprecedented adventure. If written in an autobiography, it will undoubtedly be a highlight.
But the question now is, how to get out? Lu Wei and others were trapped in it for twenty days, and now they are trapped in the crowd. It seems that they can't hold on for long. So, have they tried to escape during this period?
"Of course there are. I have basically used all the solutions I can think of, but I still stay here. Look at this."
As he said that, Lu Wei threw out a thick folder outside the window. The folder seemed to have entered another dimension as soon as it passed through the window, and disappeared out of thin air.
"Due to the ambiguousness of the internal and external timelines, when crossing this realm line, the speed of the first part that goes out will be different from the subsequent part, and then... it will be the difference between the body and the head."
"...So, have you tried to directly break the wall?"
"It is strongly recommended not to do this. Now, this teaching building is an independent space. If the windows on the wall are intertwined by reality and dreams, then the walls are the support of the entire space. It is irrelevant to break the window - do you still remember the thirteen minutes passed by Mr. Wang just now looking out the window? In fact, if I pat your shoulder during that period, you can call you back. But breaking the wall is equivalent to forcibly destroying the space. The time and space dislocation caused by that time is not so easy to call you back."
As he said that, Lu Wei smiled slightly and rushed to the corner of his mouth to the Red Army. "Three people have fallen into the other side. After the first person broke the wall, he suddenly stopped moving like a stone sculpture. Then someone patted him on the shoulder and fell into it. The third person shouted, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he turned into a stone sculpture."
"So, you can't break through hard. No matter how strong you are or how fast you are, you can't do anything to this law of space, right? And you have basically tried other abilities and will fail when you touch the dividing line. The only thing that is possible to break through this limit is Huang Xiaoyue's teleportation. Unfortunately, the girl disappeared after being possessed."
"In addition, the generally known information is: the time and space in this building are not stable. The closer it is to the second floor, the slower the time flows. The location we are now is probably the core. At the main entrance of the first floor, the time flow is basically consistent with the outside world. But anyway, it is not possible to get out, so it is better to let the time flow slower, right?"
"Oh? What logic is this? Even if you can't break it out, what if someone breaks it out from the outside?"
"Impossible... Except for specific people, others cannot reach the Emerald Dream. Didn't you notice that there are so many students outside the building, but none of them walked into this building? Besides, the elites of the Red Army and the Special Operations Team in Liaobei are basically here, so others come here and die, right?"
"...You are really frustrated, and they are trapped here."
Lu Wei laughed: "We have no choice. Although Team Leader Han took action to relieve the trouble for a while, a group of super fierce mutants suddenly appeared in the center of the city, and directly intercepted us. As soon as we met, we started fighting and fleeing, and were forced to come here. The Red Army guards were much more 2B. They actually had the same idea as us, wanting to catch Zhao Kui and rob the Zhao family's New Territories magic weapons. As a result, they couldn't find anyone after they came. Later, they didn't know where to get news, saying that there was Zhao Kui's mistress here, but they foolishly bumped into him and could not get out again, hahahahahaha!"
...If you laugh, do you believe it or not, I will kill you?
"Okay... Then, after hearing what I said, Mr. Wang, do you have any ideas?"
"Well, my idea is very simple. And very practical."
Lu Wei suddenly felt spirited: "What?"
"Wait until you die, what else can it be?"
Lu Wei immediately lowered his head and sighed.
At this time, a timid and slightly stiff voice came from beside me: "I'm sorry to bother me, I seem to have heard of the Emerald Dream you mentioned."
Lu Wei and I turned our heads at the same time. The one who spoke was the long-haired Sakurajima reporter!
Lu Wei moved his eyebrows: "Have you heard of it?"
Changfa reporter said: "Yes, Shinko and I went to Qidian City in New Territories to interview the president of Misaka Trading Company. He mentioned the Jade Dream, saying that many people in Qidian City use the special effects of Jade Dream to extend the time to conduct special experiments. However, the disadvantage is that the use of this kind of prop must be among the operators. Once the operator leaves or dies, the heart of time will be automatically lifted..."
Lu Wei and I looked at each other, and for a moment, I really didn't know what to say.
After a moment, I asked her: "Are you sure?"
"Yes...yes, so what President Misaka said at that time." The short-haired reporter raised his hand to add.
Jade Dream... It should be true in theory. I have only heard of this one that can affect time and space. I don’t think there will be a duplicate name like Jade Dream. Misaka Trading Company is a long-known New Territories Trading Company. It is basically the largest New Territories Trading Company in Sakurajima. President Misaka Trading Company is a person with a strong voice and a very high reputation in the industry. So...
There is most likely no mistake in the information about the Emerald Dream. In other words...
"The manipulator is in this building!"
Lu Wei and I reached the conclusion in unison, but this conclusion seemed so strange at this time... If the operator was in the building, it would be unreasonable that Lu Wei and the others could not find any abnormality after staying for more than 20 days? Then...
The two of them swept to the hall outside the door at the same time. Among those who were closing their eyes and resting, was there a rebellious boy? So, who could it be?
Lu Wei suddenly asked the long-haired reporter: "What do you still remember? About the Emerald Dream."
The long-haired reporter showed a hard-working expression and said, "That interview was not long ago, so I still remember it very clearly, but President Misaka did not say very much in detail about the topic of Emerald Dream... The general content is that Emerald Dream can be extended, but the operator must be in it. Death or evacuation will relieve the Emerald Dream. Then, President Misaka seemed to have said something unexpectedly, as long as the operator is alive, the control of Emerald Dream is very simple, that's it."
Just be alive? In this way... wouldn't a person with an extremely strong survivability seem very suspicious? According to the current trend, if I hadn't accidentally entered, you would have been the last survivor, right?
Lu Wei immediately retorted: "If I were a manipulator, I should try every means to hide my existence instead of standing in front of you so conspicuously, right?"
"That may not be. If it weren't for Sakurajima's little sister, I wouldn't know that there were such restrictions in this Emerald Dream."
"... Besides, if I were a manipulator, it would be impossible to let someone like you come in? Judging from the situation we are in, in ten days, there will be no more living person in this building. Putting you in will add variables, right?"
"It may be that you want to do it once and for all? You said that no matter how strong my ability is, I can't break through the space limitations here. So this place is a dead end for me."
"...It seems that no matter what I say, I can't get rid of suspicion."
"You don't need to deliberately clear yourself of suspicion, because it's not very important for me whether you are a manipulator or not."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"It's very simple, because... as long as I kill everyone except me, I will naturally go out, right?"
If it were normal, I would be a little worried, but now you are all desperate, why would I be embarrassed not to take action?
