Chapter 266 Dream Research
Xia Shou was getting ready to go to bed. When he stepped onto the ladder, he caught a glimpse of a woman's black hair sticking out from the corner of the wall out of the corner of his eye.

Alice's hands tightened slightly on his neck, and he knew it was an illusion caused by his delirium, so he chose to ignore it.

As usual, he fell asleep very quickly and entered the Root Sea first. The depth on the ruler hardly changed, and even began to gradually stop sinking, staying at 1540 meters and no longer going down.

"Could it be that as the depth increases, certain conditions must be met in order to continue sinking?"

For other deep divers, it might be a bit troublesome to continue sinking, but for Xia Shou, speeding up the sinking speed is the easiest thing to do. As long as he binds more skills to himself, these skills will drag him into the deep sea like a lead weight.

In this way, he is no longer restricted by the upper limit of his skills, which is a positive gain to some extent.

But Xia Shou also knew that although the number of stored skills could exceed the upper limit, they could not be stored without restraint. If the number of stored skills was too large and the speed of sinking was too fast, the delusion in reality would be aggravated, and he didn't know what would happen then.

Xia Shou saw that the shadows in the deep sea were getting darker and the outlines were getting clearer. Although he had never swam in the sea, the undercurrents in the sea were silently moving his position, like some kind of fate pulling him to meet certain things.

This time, he could clearly feel the current in the sea pushing him to drift in a certain direction, and the huge curved shadow in the deep sea in the distance gradually took on color, and its outline became clearer.

The deep green light coming from nowhere illuminated the sea area below 1,500 meters. In the dark green water, a huge rib that was several hundred meters long came into Xia Shou's sight. It was not necessarily a rib, but the first impression it gave Xia Shou was that it was the rib of some giant creature from some barbaric era.

His skin gradually became tighter, and the increasingly real water pressure brought a slight discomfort. Xia Shou knew that his time staying in the Root Sea had reached a limit, so he closed his eyes and left the Root Sea.

But when he opened his eyes again, he was back on campus.

"Wait, this is a dream!" Xia Shou recognized that this was his dream at first sight.

Isn’t this the dream he had yesterday!
"Do you want to practice dancing later?" Su Weiyu sat next to him, turning the tip of her pen while watching the teacher writing and drawing on the blackboard, but she glanced at him with a smile on her lips.

Xia Shou was very surprised.

This dream was a continuation of the last one, and this time it was a lucid dream. In the dream, he had the ability to completely control himself and still maintained the rationality that he only had when he was awake!

"Why do you have that expression?" Su Weiyu frowned slightly and looked at him puzzledly.

Xia Shou rubbed the desk with his fingers and the touch felt extremely real. He looked up at the teacher's lecture notes on the blackboard and they were also very clear.

He looked at the questions and the solution process carefully, and found no problems at all. It was rigorous and meticulous, and the answer was correct.

"Isn't this dream too outrageous?" Xia Shou murmured to himself in surprise.

Su Weiyu, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment, her expression changed visibly, but she quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: "Did you fall asleep in class? Did you become stupid?"

"Abnormal phenomenon?" Xia Shou turned his head and looked at Su Weiyu carefully. The other person looked exactly the same as in real life.

"What are you talking about? Let's practice dancing together in physical education class later. We will have ballroom dancing in school soon." Su Weiyu tried to correct the out-of-control dream back on track.

But Xia Shou suddenly pointed at the boy at the front table and asked Su Weiyu: "What's his name?"

Su Weiyu was startled, and the next second, the scene in front of Xia Shou quickly blurred...

Next door, Su Weiyu suddenly woke up from her dream.

"What's going on! I'm so scared!"

Even after waking up, she was still frightened. During the day, after reading the article "Coral Dream", she wondered if she had not fully developed the true effect of the coral crown. After all, the power of the coral bed in the article was so great that it seemed to be omnipotent in dreams.

Because the article also mentions the Dream Picker Bird.

The Dream Picker Bird is a god who controls dreams, and everything in dreams is controlled by Him.

Su Weiyu specifically looked up relevant information in the library and easily found a safe ritual that had been verified many times by the Control Bureau and could allow people to have lucid dreams.

The steps of the ritual were very simple, and she succeeded after just a casual try. Tonight's lucid dream was her masterpiece.

The advantage of lucid dreaming is that all the scenes in the dream become extremely real. Su Weiyu feels that the more real it is, the better. She wants to make the dream as close to reality as possible and as real as possible.

The experiment was successful in terms of results. The only surprise was that Xia Shou also maintained her rationality in the dream and asked her classmate what his name was.

How could she know! She was just a transfer student in the setting, and she had never even spoken to the classmates in her dream.

After a brief consideration, Su Weiyu made up her mind to study the relevant knowledge about the Dream Picker Bird!
"I wonder if there is a ritual that can weave dreams. It would be great if I could actively create a dream scene and throw Mamoru into it."

The next day, after Xia Shou woke up, he was still worried about the short lucid dream he had yesterday.

Is this an abnormal phenomenon?

It could be, but it could also be just a one-time lucid dream.

This type of dream is also very common among ordinary people, and there has been no shortage of research on lucid dreams.

In his book "The Interpretation of Dreams", Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud explained lucid dreams as "the reappearance of the powerful power of the subconscious mind", specifically referring to when the brain is obsessed with certain things, the dream will be taken over from the unconscious chaotic state to the semi-conscious state.

In the state of lucid dreaming, the dreamer can have the thinking and memory abilities when awake in the dream. Some people can even make the feeling in their dreams as real as the real world, but they know that they are in a dream.

"Maybe it's just an ordinary dream." Xia Shou said thoughtfully.

Thinking of this possibility, Xia Shou suddenly regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would have danced with Su Weiyu in his dream.

Xia Shou shook his head, put aside these useless thoughts, and walked towards the studio while thinking.

He will undergo the scorpion spine implant surgery tonight and will set off for the 16th century tomorrow.

Although time is very tight, with the medical department's technology, it is normal to put the patient into battle immediately after the operation.

"Brother Xia Shou, good morning! I brought you breakfast."

"Good morning." Xia Shou looked at Su Yue who suddenly appeared in front of him in surprise, "Are you going to study on your own today too?"

"Well, I didn't have any filming work this morning, so I came here. Also, I heard that Brother Xia Shou will be on a business trip tomorrow, right?"

"Business trip... well, sort of." Xia Shou admitted this statement, although he felt that considering the danger level of the mission, describing this mission as a business trip was a bit of an understatement.
