Xu Dingjia saw Jiang Cheng's thoughts and explained: "Awakeness can only last for a short period of time, and now they have fallen into nightmare consciousness again. My mission now is to maintain the status quo and protect them from the influence of Lu Fuyuan's mental power. Continue The correct driving route. Because you are a descendant of a real person, you can stay awake. I need you to maintain your sanity. If an unexpected situation occurs, I can only rely on you. I hope no accidents happen. "
"Will this make it safe?" Jiang Cheng was still worried.
Xu Dingjia said: "Now inside the car, an independent space can be temporarily formed, which can block the nightmare consciousness to a certain extent. As long as there are no messengers from the ancient gods to cause trouble, we still have hope of reaching the lunatic asylum safely. So, again, we can't An accident happened. But this is beyond my control. I can only pray that my luck is not so bad."
"Luck?" Jiang Cheng frowned and hesitated.
Xu Dingjia looked at Jiang Cheng almost at the same time and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Cheng was about to say something, but Xu Dingjia beat his head and said angrily: "Damn it, I seem to have forgotten something! Although I am more awake than ordinary people, after all, I am still affected by nightmare consciousness. This is it now, I really don't know. What will it look like when two o’clock comes.”
Jiang Cheng looked at the time. It was twelve o'clock in about ten minutes. At this time, he also felt that his attention seemed to be a little scattered and it was difficult to concentrate. In a daze, he had a question and couldn't help but say it: "Didn't you experience nightmare consciousness when you were sleeping in the open air?"
Xu Dingjia said: "At least I have a perfect human constitution, and I am prepared for this situation. Usually in the past, I would sneak into an ordinary person's house to spend the night. People in this city sleep very hard at night, so I As long as you leave early in the morning, you'll be fine. By the way, you seemed to have a question to ask me just now."
"Is there any?" Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and he also forgot what he was thinking just now.
Xu Dingjia pursed his lips and said, "It seems that you have also been affected by nightmare consciousness. We have all forgotten some things."
"Will that have any impact?" Jiang Cheng asked uneasily.
Xu Dingjia shook his head, "I don't know, because we don't remember whether that thing is important at all, and what impact it will have on the current situation. We just hope that the forgotten thing will not matter. Next, everything depends on our luck. ”
"Luck?" Jiang Cheng's heart beat faster, but he didn't know what the reason was.
What Jiang Cheng didn't even know was that the conversations and questions about "luck" had happened just now. Due to the influence of nightmare consciousness, their thinking and memory are declining. All sudden thoughts and premonitions will disappear like meteors, making it difficult for them to focus their remaining attention on them. They were only left with the most critical idea that they were still trying to maintain, which was to rush to the lunatic asylum for refuge. In fact, Jiang Cheng didn't dare to ask, and Xu Dingjia didn't dare to say, because they could hardly remember the purpose of rushing to the lunatic asylum. Because of their extraordinary talents, they believed that their current approach was the only way to survive, and they did not dare to let the slightest doubt shake this last idea.
In this silent and chaotic night, the two of them had already started a battle with the city's consciousness. This process is not as thrilling and thrilling to the senses as hand-to-hand fighting, but the degree of danger is even worse. Without being there personally, it would be difficult to understand what they were feeling at this moment.
If we want to make an analogy with ordinary people's experience, it is like a state before going to sleep. At the moment when one is about to fall asleep, one's consciousness will become very blurred, thoughts lose restraint, and various illogical scenes are formed in the consciousness. However, because there is still the last trace of wakefulness, one can feel the bizarreness of that scene. , thus raising doubts. If doubts are deliberately strengthened, people's consciousness will refocus, which will cause people to wake up from falling asleep. But if people give up questioning and begin to accept the illogical connection of thoughts from scene to scene, it also represents the last trace of lucidity or loss of reason, and the next step is to truly enter sleep and dreams.
Even with this analogy, it is likely that many people still have difficulty understanding it. Because people who can have memories before going to sleep have generally had similar experiences of lucid dreaming.
All in all, Jiang Cheng and Xu Dingjia had passively entered a state of sleep before they knew it. Once you relax mentally, your consciousness will sink. Their result will not be as simple and easy as falling asleep, on the contrary, they will enter the dreamland of the city. Whether good or bad, the dreams of advanced beings are difficult for humans to understand. For humans, they are terrifying and vast nightmares. If human beings' fragile consciousness stays there for a long time, it will soon be crushed and crushed by the city's subconscious as deep as a black hole, and finally assimilated.
What the results of assimilation will be, no one knows. Because such humans have disappeared in this city, and no one knows where they went.
The next journey was boring and chaotic, because the consciousness of Jiang Cheng and Xu Dingjia was in a fuzzy state. The only thing that was clear and clear was the idea of going to the lunatic asylum. Cars roared across the road, and the sound of wind outside the car window was monotonous and cold.
In a certain corner of the city, a tall figure stood by the road. He looked into the distance, as if his sight could penetrate the night and reach the target several kilometers away. He looked at it for a while, slowly lowered his head, and his eyes fell on the watch. The time displayed on the watch was eleven fifty-one.
The tall figure muttered something to himself, breathing heavily and slowly. Suddenly, he stretched out his arms toward the distance and let out a low drink.
Looking at the receding scenery outside the car window, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and numbness spread from his back to his scalp. The uneasy feeling was so sudden and strong that Jiang Cheng, who was originally in a state of confusion, sobered up a lot.
"There's danger!" Jiang Cheng shouted almost instinctively.
Xu Dingjia was the most sober among everyone, and he was the only one who could separate his mind and ask: "What will happen? What did you see?"
"I don't know." Jiang Cheng rubbed his head frustratedly and uneasily. Although the descendants of real people have the gift of prediction, this is not an ability that Jiang Cheng can master now. What's more, the current situation is extraordinary, and staying awake is extremely valuable.
Xu Dingjia murmured: "Could it be that what we forgot is a very crucial thing? What on earth is that? Damn it!"
