Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

Chapter 173 Dream and Reality

She heard the rustling of leaves, as if the giant tree was responding to her, or it could just be the sound of wind blowing through the leaves.

Yu Lan relaxed her body, leaned against the tree and sighed. She hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. Unconsciously, she closed her eyes, but her body was clearly aware of the movements around her.

After Yu Lan closed her eyes, many non-human creatures approached curiously from nearby, gradually surrounding Yu Lan, and some were even bold enough to sit directly on Yu Lan.

It is very small, looks similar to humans, and has a natural aura... It is not a monster, but a spirit.

Yulan’s teacher once told Yulan the difference between demons and spirits, which can be roughly explained as follows: animals have intelligence, and after they succeed in cultivation, they become demons; plants have intelligence, and after they succeed in cultivation, they become spirits.

Yu Lan's teacher couldn't clearly explain the difference between the two, but in general, they were all children of nature, just like humans. Sometimes, even when humans needed their strength, they would ask humans for help. The Yu family and he existed for these creatures.

However, the spiritual energy in the world gradually dried up, the old guys gradually fell asleep, and some were even forced into the mountains by humans. They began to hate humans, and the Yu family, which was born as a result, gradually declined and turned to help the "ghosts" who were closer to them.

It is also because of this that Yu Lan rarely sees monsters, let alone spirits.

"The breath of another world...are you human?"

A pair of hands gently lifted Yu Lan's head and placed it on a soft surface. Yu Lan had not slept in the first place, and did not think about hiding herself at this time. She opened her eyes, and when she saw the person above her head clearly, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her eyes.

"hiss......"

"Oh, sorry." The man said apologetically, putting his hands over Yu Lan's eyes: "It's been so long since humans came here, I almost forgot that humans can't look us in the eye."

A gentle force emanated from the man's hand, soothing the pain in Yu Lan's eyes.

"Okay, you can open your eyes."

Yu Lan slowly opened her eyes, and her pupils suddenly contracted when she saw the person above her head.

She looked at the person above her head in disbelief and murmured, "Mom...?"

"Oh, am I your mother in your eyes? It's my honor."

The woman's long curly hair fell around her like a waterfall. She smiled gently and raised her hand to tuck the loose hair around her ears behind her head.

Yu Lan looks very much like her mother, but her mother is brighter and her smile is like the September sun. Even though her child is 19 years old, she is still very lively, like a child who has never grown up.

Although the woman in front of her had a face exactly like Yulan's mother, she gave people the feeling of the sun in winter. Her warm breath dispelled her fatigue and made Yulan feel very comfortable.

Yu Lan was distracted for a moment before she realized that the woman in front of her was not her mother. She tried to sit up with her hands, but the woman gently pushed her back: "You can't move your body around right now... If you really feel uncomfortable, just think of it as accompanying an old lonely widower like me. I haven't been this close to my children for a long time."

The woman placed Yu Lan's head on her thighs, gently stroked her hair, and sighed, "Really, it's been a long time... a long time..."

Yu Lan struggled with the idea in her mind, but the man's hand was so gentle, and she felt a gentle force moistening her body, which made her feel so comfortable that she didn't want to get up. After thinking about it, Yu Lan relaxed her body and lay back.

“Are you the big tree?”

The woman nodded and said, "This is my true form. I didn't expect you to see it. You have a pair of special eyes. That's great."

Yu Lan sighed. It was true, but it also brought her a lot of trouble.

Yu Lan raised her head and looked at the sky above her head... Unfortunately, the clouds blocked her view and she could not see the complete appearance of the tree.

"I remember, I should be dreaming now?"

"Yes." The woman nodded and smiled gently. "This is your dream, and it is also my dream. I have slept here for a long time, and there are very few travelers coming in, let alone humans from another world."

According to the woman's words, Yu Lan guessed that she must have mistakenly entered someone's dream. Although this kind of thing didn't happen often, it had happened to her before, so Yu Lan didn't think much about it.

She remembered that her teacher seemed to have said that people with strong spiritual power like them would occasionally have some precognitive dreams, or enter other people's dreams, and might even communicate with gods in dreams. However, Yu Lan didn't take it seriously. She had had precognitive dreams, but communicating with gods... what a joke, there are no gods now.

"Huh?" The woman suddenly asked a question, and Yu Lan subconsciously looked up at her.

The woman stroked Yu Lan's face and said, "You have the scent of my child on you. Although it's very faint, the smell is indeed that of the child."

"Your child?" Yu Lan recalled the people she had met in confusion. She had never met any spirits.

"Yes... my child." The woman frowned and smiled a little sadly: "I have many children, and all those born here are my children, but unfortunately..."

The woman stopped talking here, as if she was lost in some painful memories.

"Don't be sad." Yu Lan subconsciously reached out and touched her brow. She was now using her mother's face. Yu Lan didn't want her mother to show such a sad expression: "Although I don't know who the child you are talking about is, the people I met who left a mark on me are all living well. Don't be sad about it."

Yu Lan was not lying. After all, there were very few people who could leave a mark on her. At least they were better than her. People who were better than her... It was not difficult to guess. Fortunately, each of those candidates was doing well.

Yu Lan's eyes drifted slightly. Except for one person who was punished because of her, it was actually okay... at least he didn't die.

"Really? That's great." The woman's sad expression disappeared and she returned to her usual gentle smile.

She stroked Yu Lan's hair, as if to soothe her emotions, or to soothe her child. Yu Lan couldn't tell, but she knew she shouldn't make a sound to disturb her.

"Child from another world, you smell very special." The woman's gentle voice was accompanied by the rustling sound of leaves: "Did you encounter anything before? Your body has become like this."

"Well... it's a bit hard to say." Yu Lan sighed. This matter is really a long story. "But it's not a bad thing."

"Your physical strength is exhausted. Is this a good thing? This won't do. You must take good care of your body." The woman sighed softly and raised one hand. The elves around her threw themselves into her arms with laughter.

"As a thank you for talking to me, I will help you regain your strength. This is the only thing I can do."

"Ah, is it possible?" Yu Lan was a little surprised. He was still worried about how to replenish his strength. Although eating Yin Qi can replenish some strength, it can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. The best way is to find a place with abundant spiritual energy to meditate. But in the game world, Yin Qi is more than spiritual energy, so this is impossible.

Ah...no, isn't there a place with abundant spiritual energy here?

As if she saw the doubt in Yu Lan's heart, the woman smiled and said, "Don't worry, although this is a dream, my power can directly affect your body in the other world."

She stretched out her hand and tapped Yu Lan's forehead. Gentle power flowed from her fingertips into Yu Lan's body: "After all, this is the abode of the soul..."

A power that did not belong to her surged into her body. Yu Lan had to close her eyes to digest it, and soon she fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at Yu Lan's sleeping face, the woman showed a kind smile.

She raised her head and looked into the distance, where little elves were playing in the air.

Where is her child now?

----

"Yeah...I slept so soundly." Yu Lan sat up from the bed and stretched.

She yawned and reached for her phone, only to find that it had run out of battery and was turned off. Yu Lan found a charger and recalled her dream while waiting for the phone to turn on.

Was it really a dream? It was so real that it was a little scary. The tree with an invisible canopy, the unidentified woman... and the body that didn't feel tired.

Yu Lan clenched her fists in surprise and discovered that her magic power had actually recovered to the level when she first came to the game world, and it even felt like it had exceeded the level at that time.

Quick mana recovery without side effects! Awesome!

After turning on the phone, the message notification tones kept ringing. After previewing the messages, I found that most of them were from Cynthia and others, and there were also many missed calls from Yingsheng.

Yu Lan looked at the time and found that she had slept for four days.

Wait...Four days?! Four whole days?! Can a human go without food, water or sleep for four days?!

Yu Lan's breathing stagnated, and then he shook his head. He felt that there was nothing wrong with his body, and he didn't even feel hungry, so he thought there must be nothing wrong.

Ah...if it was at this moment, Erwin would probably express his concern for her as soon as she remembered this matter, and then tell her about her current physical condition.

I'm still not used to Erwin being away.

Yu Lan curled her lips, and after washing up, she called Yingsheng back, but she didn't expect to hear the ringing outside the door the moment the call was connected.

"Huh?" Yu Lan opened the door puzzledly and found Yingsheng and Mi Ji standing in front of her door. One of them was holding a cell phone and was about to answer it, while the other raised his hand and was about to knock on the door.

The three of them looked at each other. Mi Ji was the first to react and greeted Yu Lan with a smile: "Good morning, Xiao Yu."

"Good morning, both of you. Come in first." Yu Lan scratched her head embarrassedly and took them into her room. "I'm sorry, I slept very soundly these past few days, and my phone was out of battery and turned off, so I just saw the message on it."

"Oh, I guessed it was like that." Mi Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After listening to what my brother said, I was quite worried about you, and I couldn't contact you, so I took the liberty to come and see you."

"How did you know I was here?" Yu Lan ordered takeout on her phone. Although she wasn't hungry, she wanted to chew something. "Did you have breakfast?"

"Not yet." Yingsheng was not polite and ordered some porridge using Yulan's phone.

"The two people you rescued are now working in our guild. I heard what they said."

"Ah, those two people." Yu Lan thought of the two people she rescued that night. At that time, after she finished playing the game, she found that the talisman she drew was not destroyed, and she did not go in to check on the situation of the two people. She thought that both of them listened to her obediently.

"Well... it's like this, we have something we want to ask you for help." Mi Ji lowered his head, with a serious expression on his face. He pondered for a long time and said, "After Hang Hang came back, he told me that he felt a little unwell and then fainted. I took him to see a therapist in the city, but they couldn't find any problem."

"I asked Gu Yan what happened in the dungeon, and asked again after Hang Hang woke up. I felt that something was really wrong, so I wanted to ask you."

"Hmm? What happened to Hang Hang?"

At this time, the doorbell rang. The delivery speed in the main city is very fast. After all, the deliverymen are not human, and their speed is much faster than that of humans.

Yu Lan smiled sheepishly: "Yingsheng, can you help me get the takeaway? It's not convenient for me."

Yingsheng looked at Yulan with some doubt. She was dressed neatly and her room was tidy. What was inconvenient? But thinking that he would also have a share of the takeaway, Yingsheng did not refuse: "Okay."

The door in front of him opened. The delivery man was startled, but he was relieved when he saw that the person in front of him was a man: "Hello, I hope you enjoy your meal."

"Okay." After taking the takeaway, the delivery man ran away quickly without looking back, as if there was a ghost in this place.

Yingsheng couldn't help but touch his face. Did he look so scary?

"Oh, thank you, thank you." Yu Lan took out the takeaway and put it on the table: "Where were we talking just now? Oh, why did Hang Hang faint?"

Mi Ji scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth and shook his head: "I don't know. After waking up, he said that he felt like he was stuffed with a memory that didn't belong to him, which made him feel very uncomfortable."

Mi Ji repeated to Yu Lan what Hang Hang had said to him, and Yu Lan was thinking while eating.

"Memories that are not my own...?"

Yu Lan frowned. Implanting memories into people requires direct contact between the implantee and the implanter. But from what Hang Hang said, he didn't have direct contact with the evil spirit, nor did he have direct contact with any powerful ghosts. This was strange.

"Where is Hang Hang now? I need to go see him."
