Chapter 10: Dreams and Reality

More than a month has passed since the last resentment incident.

Even if there were large-scale casualties and injuries caused by resentful spirits attacking pedestrians on the street, it unexpectedly did not cause large-scale panic, but was called "gas leakage" for nonsensical reasons... There is no way, after all, ordinary people cannot see creatures like ghosts.

The burning of the house of resentment made the real estate developers even more happy. Just three days after the fire, there was a construction team on the land. As for the horror legends in the past, they had long been thrown out by those merchants who were desperate for their own interests.

And no one has ever appeared in my life, just like a month ago, a month ago, a month ago, a dream.

Sometimes I think, maybe it's really a dream.

But when it comes to dreaming, I have dreamed more times in this month than usual.

In my dream, I went to more places than before.

For example, in the bamboo forest covered by night, where I saw the scene of a white-haired girl burning with flames confronting the black-haired girl as noble as a princess.

...I even picked extremely precious natural bamboo shoots from there and brought them back to reality.

————————————————

"is that so."

I excitedly told Lianzi about bringing back bamboo shoots from my dream, but I only got her words.

"What... shouldn't you be more surprised by Lotus seeds? When I found bamboo shoots in the room, even I was shocked."

"Well... I'm sorry, but Meli, if it's a bamboo shoot in my dream, how could it be brought back to reality?"

"Ah, I haven't thought about this before. What do you think of Lianzi?"

Because I was just taking the next day with bamboo shoots for lotus seeds to show them, and I didn’t think too deeply. So the lotus seeds that major in super unified physics should have more professional opinions.

"Did you say you travel through time and space in your dream? Is Hawking's theory of time pointer reversing? Well... Then maybe the world in your dream is the memory of the soul that constitutes matter."

“…wait, say something I can understand.”

This is the idiot Lianzi, who always pops up some professional terms without any concerns about whether others can understand it.

After hearing what I said, Lianzi sighed and said, "It's true, Meli, you idiot, don't you understand?"

...I just don't want you to say that.

Maybe I saw the expression on my face or maybe I satisfied my little vanity. Lianzi continued: "Have you heard of the story of Zhuang Zhou dreaming of butterflies in ancient China?"

"In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of being a butterfly, and he was a lifelike butterfly. He was a self-speaking of his ambition! He didn't know Zhou. He suddenly realized that he was a sensation. He didn't know Zhou's dream was a butterfly and? The dream of a butterfly was Zhou and butterfly, and there must be a distinction between Zhou and Zhou and butterfly. This is called material transformation."

I have very confidently recited this Chinese ancient Chinese text. After all, my major is relative psychiatry, and I still have a good understanding of these things.

"bingo, the meaning of this passage is that if the dream is real enough, then people have any ability to know that they are dreaming and cannot tell the difference between dreams and reality, right?" Lianzi snapped his fingers and said.

"... Although the original meaning of this passage is not what you said, it's almost the same."

"Then, I have indeed discovered the entrance to other worlds." Lianzi smiled confidently: "Look, because there are so many clues."

Is this a jump speed too fast?

"Wait! You talk about the entrances and clues of other worlds... aren't these things in my dream?"

I couldn't keep up with Lianzi's jumping thinking and quickly shouted and interrupted her.

“Is there anything strange about this?”

"It's strange no matter what!"

"So, we're going to explore the world in your dreams, Meli. Listen to me, why do children in this country look unhappy... Meli, do you know?"

“…why?”

"It is because scholars who think like you have made them regard dreams and reality as the same thing. Your theory is wrong."

Lianzi's words made me dizzy, and she so easily denied the doctrine I insisted on?

But Lianzi did not stop, but continued: "It is because of the fact that dreams are seen by the simple brain and inserted into reality. There is an objective existence that can be believed outside of the subjectivity, and there is an absolute real existence."

"Is subjective real? What you are talking about is simply contradictory. Didn't you dream because you don't agree with subjective? And the evidence is the bamboo shoots you brought back."

Although I really wanted to refute it, I couldn't refute it because the bamboo shoots were lying quietly on the table.

Seeing that I was silent, Lianzi's tone became happier, which was a sign of her interest in something.

"Dreams and reality are different. Therefore, we can work hard to turn dreams into reality, so the children will laugh!"

"Come on, open your eyes. Dreams can become reality. Let's turn dreams into reality together!"

———————————————————

Although Lianzi's goal is great, this idiot with only action has no idea where to start turning dreams into reality...

So when she asked to investigate, I thought of Onmyoji and the old monk that night.

[Since that day, I have started to dream more... Is it related to that experience?]

After I had this idea, I naturally recalled a place name that Onmyoji once said that day, Moya Shrine.

This shrine is located on a mountain outside the city and has a long history. And because there are hot springs on the back mountain, there are many rumors in the school, such as being good for the skin...

And somehow, the Moya Shrine suddenly expanded its scale from a month ago, turning many shrines into its branches. From a time perspective, it happened to be the right one.

So we decided to go to Moya Shrine to investigate on this day.

And when I was at the foot of the mountain, I could also feel something similar to a barrier on the mountain, but...

Who could have thought that this ladder was so long!

When I finally climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the quaint shrine, I was so tired that I had no strength at all.

"What a Merry, you need exercise, and physical strength is also necessary for activities."

"You think everyone is super-powered with you..."

Lianzi didn't take my exhausted complaints to heart, but looked to the direction of the shrine and said, "Huh? It seems that someone has come out."

Following Lianzi's sight, I saw two people.

One of them was wearing the witch's costume, while the other...

"Ah! It's you!"
