This villain is too popular.

Chapter 318 Even the best dreams eventually end.

"call"

In the VIP section of Aurora Aria, Caroline glanced at the mirrored glass on the stage for a moment, then slowly raised her head.

A snowflake drifted slowly down from the top of the concert hall and landed right on her green cat ears.

She subconsciously raised her hand and touched it; the snowflakes melted on her fingertips, leaving a few cool water stains.

Before long, more snowflakes began to fall.

Some of them landed on the stage, some on the backs of the audience seats, and some even drifted onto the tips of Jing Liuli's hair.

When snowflakes landed on Jing Liuli's face, she frowned slightly, but did not stop singing; everything remained the same.

Seeing this, Caroline said softly, "Is it snowing? It seems that the glass in the dream is also approaching her crucial moment, isn't it?"

Thinking of this, Caroline lowered her head again and focused on looking at her data tablet.

Although the current Aurora Sigh is unlikely to have any further problems.

But the task Heaven gave her was to ensure that this one in ten thousand probability event would not occur.

Therefore, even if she could enter the dream world right now and see that unique childhood memory that belongs exclusively to Jing Liuli.

But Caroline ultimately chose to restrain herself.

Because everyone else can relax, but she can't.

Even if what she does and who she is may ultimately be meaningless, she will still do it.

That is the 'meaning' of her existence.

【Mirror Glass Dream: The Rooftop of an Old-Fashioned Residential Building】

As the real-life Aurora Borealis concert hall at sea begins to snow, snowflakes also begin to fall in the city of the dream world.

The snow-covered city, devoid of its former hustle and bustle, is now filled with a rare quiet and desolation.

Squeak!

With a series of old, scraping sounds, Xiao Liuli pushed open the iron gate to the rooftop of the old-fashioned residential building with great effort.

Clutching her bulging lunchbox, she ran quickly to the Heavenly Dao.

"Here you are, Brother Tiandao, this is Grandma's tomato and egg stir-fry, and it also has your favorite braised pork ribs!"

Upon hearing this, Tiandao jumped down from the edge of the rooftop and came to Liuli's side.

When he took the lunchbox from Xiaoli, his fingertips touched the back of her hand.

The icy touch made Tiandao frown involuntarily.

Why aren't you wearing gloves?

"Forgot?"

Xiao Liuli stuck out her tongue, then put her reddened hands into her cotton-padded coat pockets and changed the subject, saying, "Brother Tiandao, Grandma said you'd be bored looking at the scenery alone up there, so she asked me to come and eat with you."

"Is that so?"

Tiandao nodded, then opened the lunchbox in front of him.

The aroma of sweet and sour tomatoes mingled with the rich, unique flavor of the braising sauce, wafting out and looking especially tempting in the cold wind.

As Tiandao ate, he looked out at the city ruins.

The once-high-rise building is now half-collapsed, with the steel bars exposed.

Although the snow-covered streets did not reveal any star beasts, the black mist emanating from the beast nests in the distance could be faintly seen.

Everything felt so real, yet somehow not quite real.

Because in reality, animal dens are not as 'gentle' as they are now.

The reason for this is that this is not reality at all, but rather Jing Liuli's 'dream'.

As he ate, Tiandao kept looking outside.

But as they were eating, Heaven suddenly spoke up out of the blue.

"When did you remember it?"

Faced with the question of the Heavenly Dao, Xiao Liuli still retained her signature innocence, but her eyes held a clarity beyond her years. "Just a few days ago."

"Yeah."

As soon as the words were spoken, the rooftop of the residential building, and even the entire dream world, suddenly trembled.

Neither Tiandao nor Liuli panicked, as if they had known all along that this would happen.

"It seems you've already made up your mind."

"Yes, even the most beautiful dreams eventually come to an end, don't they?"

Xiao Liuli nodded, then looked up at the snow falling all around her.

"The reason I like to dream is not because I am lazy, but because I am afraid of forgetting the most important people."

As Jing Liuli spoke, the Heavenly Dao and the residential building beneath her shook even more violently.

At the same time, the figure of the Heavenly Dao also began to become illusory.

Because Jing Liuli, the master of this dream world, is about to 'awaken'.

Just before the Heavenly Dao was about to leave this dream world, Jing Liuli suddenly uttered something she had kept buried in her heart for a long time.

"Do you know, Heaven, although dreams are illusory, the beauty hidden in dreams is real."

"Therefore, I want to turn the world into a giant dream, so that everyone can see the people they want to see and have a happy ending with a reunion."

Looking at the serious-looking Jing Liuli, Tiandao smiled and said, "Then your dream won't be so easy to achieve."

Hearing this, Jing Liuli turned to look at the crumbling city and the faint phantom of the Frost God in the distance, and said with a smile, "But we have to try, don't we?"

Jing Liuli's words were naive, and her tone was full of unrealistic fantasies.

But the 'ideal' contained in her words was so real that it was somewhat chilling.

Because what she wants to do, in a sense, is to control everyone.

Making everyone follow her ideas, to pursue the dreams she deems 'wonderful,' and then using those dreams to influence their reality, is no different from conquering the world.

In other words, the person saying this now is Jing Liuli.

Otherwise, this would be a standard 'villain's statement'.

After saying all this, Jing Liuli suddenly asked, "Heavenly Dao, do you think what I did was right?"

After pondering for a moment, Heaven gave its answer.

"As long as you think it's right, you don't need to ask me."

"Is this so"

Hearing these words, Jing Liuli seemed to have figured something out.

Then he looked up at the phantom of the Frost God that was connecting with his dream.

"That day, if anyone opposes me in the future, I'll tell them that you supported what I did!"

Tiandao was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Jing Liuli to say that.

Before Heaven could answer, he felt intense drowsiness.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the VIP seats in reality.

Looking at Jing Liuli in the center of the stage, Tiandao shook his head helplessly.

So, are you planning to make me take the blame for you if something goes wrong later?

Liuli, Liuli, why do you always use your cleverness on your best friend?

As he pondered this, Heaven couldn't help but laugh.

Because compared to Liuli's 'dream of controlling the whole world,' what he wants to do is far more outrageous than that.

So, it's really not certain who will take the blame.

P.S.: I should be able to finish writing the movie version all by tomorrow.
