Chapter 4452 Dream Person
Chapter 4452 Dream Person
Moon Dew was now completely immersed in the illusion.
She saw a little witch leave home, saw her riding a broomstick and flying through the sky, soaring through the azure sky and clouds that looked like snow-covered branches, the earth teeming with life...
Even before the story gets to the main point, the moon and dew are already completely captivated by this opening scene.
These were worlds she had never seen before, and landscapes she had never experienced.
Even though the fairy's stories often mentioned such a backdrop, she had never seen it herself...
A feeling of joy welled up from the bottom of my heart.
As she was filled with excitement and joy, tender green shoots finally broke through the soil in the flowerpots in the third-floor room, stretching out their soft bodies.
Angel didn't notice the subtle changes in the third-floor room; his gaze remained fixed on Moon Dew.
Before anyone knew it, Yuelu also got on a broomstick and flew through the air with the little witch Kiki from the story, their laughter filling the air.
Although Yue Lu was just an audience member, she seemed to have broken the fourth wall and become silent and tacit friends with Qi Qi, traveling together.
Every now and then, the two of them would exchange a glance, absorbing each other's smiles into their hearts.
And this, naturally, was also done by Angell.
Originally, "The Witch's Delivery" was just a fantasy story, and the little witch Kiki was just the main character. But since Moon Dew was completely immersed in the story, Angel didn't mind letting her interact with Kiki.
However, there is one slightly troublesome point: Moon Dew is indeed flying on a broomstick.
Others who witness illusions are merely observing, but Moon Dew is actively participating. Therefore, to prevent her from flying out of the illusion, Angor had to constantly change her direction and stabilize her anchor point, making her believe she was truly flying forward while spinning in place…
anyway.
Angell never expected that Moon Dew would ultimately choose "The Witch's Delivery".
Speaking of which, the story of "The Witch's Delivery" tells the tale of a little witch named Kiki who leaves her warm family and begins a year-long independent training.
In this process, Qiqi stepped out of her comfort zone, learned to be self-reliant, overcame loneliness and setbacks, and also gained friendship and happiness.
Although the main theme is growth and experience, it is essentially a fairy tale.
Angell simply thought the story fit the Witch's House well, so he put it on the screen, never expecting that Moon Dew would choose it.
He had been worried that Yuelu might hate the story, since she had said she didn't like fairy tales.
But now it seems that Yuelu is quite satisfied.
Time flies.
Yuelu saw that Qiqi had arrived in a city without witches and had begun her training there.
As the story progresses to this point, Angel suddenly realizes that while half of Moon Dew's attention is still on Kiki, the other half is constantly gazing down at this novel city.
Looking at the bustling streets, the Big Ben clock tower, the stream flowing under the bridge, and the pedestrians resting and picnicking on the riverbank...
Moreover, as the city's appearance unfolded, her gaze increasingly fell upon it.
"If you like this city, you can go and have a look."
Angell's voice reached Moon Dew's ears.
Moon Dew's eyes lit up, but then she seemed to remember something and looked back at her companion Qiqi, who was still flying in mid-air, with a hesitant look.
“Qiqi’s story has begun. She will be working and cultivating in the city from now on… During this time, her focus should be on cultivation. You can take this opportunity to see the sights of the city.” Angel’s voice was gentle, like a feather brushing against Yuelu’s heart.
She hesitated for a while, but when she saw Qiqi looking at her with encouraging eyes, Yuelu finally nodded: "Okay."
Moon Dew waved goodbye to Kiki, then swooped down and flew towards the city on her broomstick...
Angel didn't speak again, but watched as Moon Dew continued to observe the city, moving through it, and occasionally summoning a magic book to draw a corner of the city's scenery.
The drawing is very childish, but it suits Yuelu's age.
During his observation of Moon Dew, Angel discovered that Moon Dew was full of curiosity about everything. She would be curious about the color of the soil under her feet, she would lie on the lawn to watch how the dewdrop fell from a vine, and she would observe other people's behavior patterns and secretly imitate them...
It was as if she had never encountered any of this before; everything was as if she were seeing it for the first time.
This reminded Angell of what Moon Dew had said before: "I have never left."
Was she really always confined to her home and never went out?
Angell was really curious, so he simply asked.
Yuelu was skipping along on her way to Qiqi's workplace. She was a little surprised by Angel's sudden words, but she didn't think anything was wrong.
Pedestrians on the street often chat as they walk together.
She had never experienced this before, so now was the perfect time. —Although her mother told her to avoid talking to strangers and just listen to the story, this time the story was different; she was actively involved, so she naturally had to adapt.
Yuelu: "Yes, I used to stay at home all the time and never went outside."
Why not go?
"Because Mom won't allow it..." Yuelu tilted her head and said cautiously, "Besides, Mom told me before that I should try not to answer questions from strangers, but I made an exception for my older brother this time."
Angell smiled and said, "It's my honor."
Angel believed Yuelu's words. Since her mother told her not to answer questions from outsiders, that was fine. He would ask fewer questions and guide her to answer them herself.
“You just mentioned that your mother has been gone for a long time. In that case, you can go out and see the world, just like Qiqi. She also left her family, came to a new place, saw new scenery, and met you.”
Yuelu thought for a moment and said, "But Qiqi can fly from home to this city... I can't."
Angel could sense that when Yuelu said those words, there was a hint of resistance and fear in her voice.
Angel thought for a moment and said softly, "If you're feeling scared, you can look at Qiqi. Before she left home, didn't she also worry about this and that? But in the end, she overcame her fear and stepped out of her comfort zone."
"Moreover, as you just saw, although Qiqi encountered some difficult customers and experienced some setbacks here, she overcame them one by one."
"You can do it too."
Yuelu shook her head violently: "No, Qiqi isn't in a dream, but I am... We'll encounter terrifying dream beasts outside. Even if there aren't any dream beasts, the consequences of accidentally entering someone else's dream are terrible..."
Angell: "..."
His silence was not because he was unable to speak, but because he was shocked.
He had previously wondered why Yuelu would mention the dream beast—did she know he was dreaming? But now, Yuelu's words seemed to point in a direction he had never considered.
Is Yuelu someone who lives in a dream?
This……
Angell remained silent for a long time.
If this is true, then perhaps this is what makes this giant dream bubble so unusual.
A dream bubble from a dreamer.
Angor suppressed his shock and maintained his previous tone, saying softly, "If it's because of the Dream Beast, then we should indeed reconsider."
“However, not all places in dreams are dangerous. I know a city in a dream; if you'd like to experience it, I can take you there.”
Angel didn't directly ask Moon Dew if she was the person in the dream, because the question was too pointed, and Moon Dew's hard-won relaxation of vigilance would probably make her alert again; so he decided to first let her dream of dawn, and then ask her later.
After all, dreamers who have been to the Dream of Dawn have one characteristic: "There is a certain probability that they will enter the Dream of Dawn directly without going through the Dream Bubble in the future."
As long as the moon dew continues to arrive at the Dream of Dawn, all kinds of questions can be answered gradually.
However, after hearing Angor's words, Moon Dew looked at him with suspicion. —Even though she was still in the illusion, and Angor wasn't actually beside her, she still accurately located his direction.
"I feel like the older brother's tone sounds like he's trying to kidnap a child." Yue Lu snorted: "Mom used to imitate those bad adults and knock on the door to kidnap me. I'm very experienced. I can always see through it and never open the door."
Angell: "Your mother is amazing, and you're amazing too."
After a pause, Angell added, "But haven't I already stepped into your house?"
Yue Lu was taken aback. "Oh, that seems so."
She thought for a moment, then asked cautiously, "But big brother, weren't you sent by the fairy sister to tell stories?"
Fairy sister? Another new clue?
She previously mentioned that "big brother doesn't fly," implying that she might have seen people who fly... Could this be referring to a fairy?
Moreover, the word "fairy" inexplicably reminded Angel of the story he had heard in the Lombardy shop before.
Just then, this dream bubble appeared again in the rumba shop.
Angell narrowed his eyes, not answering her question directly, but changing the subject instead, saying, "Then do you think the stories told by the Flower Moon Fairy are better, or is my storytelling method better?"
Without hesitation, Yuelu said directly, "I like big brother's stories. Fairy sister always tells me fairy tales, and they make me so sleepy."
"Although I should have gone to sleep by now, and the fairy sister was indeed telling a bedtime story, I don't want to go to sleep so early."
As Yuelu finished speaking, it seemed that she had really reached the "time," her eyes glazed over for a moment, and she let out a big yawn.
But she quickly shook her head to clear her mind.
She'd finally come across an interesting story, so she couldn't go to sleep so early!
Moon Dew's words made Angel's expression even more subtle.
He specifically mentioned "Flower Moon Fairy," and Yue Lu did not deny it. In other words, the fairy sister she mentioned is most likely the Flower Moon Fairy.
Judging from her tone, the Flower Moon Fairy often comes to tell her stories.
This is clearly not right.
Considering that Juanjuan wanted to find the Honey of Dreams, and it seemed to be favored by fate, it just so happened to stumble upon this giant dream bubble after leaving the rumba shop...
Angor already had a vague idea in his mind: perhaps the moon dew was related to the honey of dreams.
However, Angel wasn't very interested in the so-called Dream Honey or Moon Goddess Mead, since he had never seen the real thing or its effects, so he had no real feeling or expectation for it.
More than the honey of dreams, he was actually more curious about the "sleeping" that Moon Dew mentioned.
Yuelu said that the fairy sister would tell her bedtime stories.
And she would fall asleep while listening to the stories.
The fact that she yawned just now confirms that she does indeed feel sleepy here.
That's really amazing.
Angel had previously speculated that Moon Dew was a figure from a dream.
A person dreaming within a dream—doesn't that sound like a nesting doll?
Speaking of which, after Yuelu falls asleep, does she still have dreams? Do dreams still scatter throughout the dream world? Do dreams form dream bubbles?
If her dreams form dream bubbles, then what is this dream bubble now?
Angel was very curious, but he didn't intend to ask directly. Instead, he made a slight change to the plot of the illusion.
Later, there will be a night scene where Angel will arrange for Kiki and Moon Dew to lie on the roof and chat.
At that time, Qiqi will whisper it to herself.
It seemed to be a question to himself, or perhaps an inquiry.
Now, Angel simply went along with her words and said softly, "Since you like it, then continue experiencing it. This story isn't over yet."
Just then, Yuelu arrived at Qiqi's workplace, a small delivery stall.
The story then unfolds as expected.
Moon Dew witnessed Kiki's growth, saw her dejection after being bullied, and also saw her fear as her magical abilities gradually weakened. But in the end, Kiki relied on her inner strength to pick herself up again.
That night.
After another day of delivering goods, Qiqi was so tired that she climbed onto the roof and lay down under the iron frame. Through the gaps in the clothes that were still a little damp, she looked at the starry sky.
She whispered, "I hope I have a good dream tonight, a dream without picky customers, without the little black cat running around, and without the soaked herring and pumpkin pie..."
After speaking, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Yuelu beside her: "And you? What kind of dream do you want to have?"
Yuelu was taken aback.
She paused for two seconds, then said softly, "My dream is unchanging; there's nothing to look forward to."
Kiki let out a soft, bell-like laugh: "Although unchanging dreams seem a bit boring, it's okay, there will be more to look forward to when I wake up!"
"I have the afternoon off tomorrow, I'll take you to see the city's green parks!"
Yuelu laughed: "Okay."
The conversation was brief, as if it had never happened.
After that, Qiqi closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The night sky changed instantly, as if accelerating, ushering in a new day.
Moon Dew had experienced this many times before, so she wasn't surprised. In this story's world, time only slows down when the story is unfolding; otherwise, the story speeds up continuously. One second it's white doves soaring in the morning, the next it's fireflies fluttering about.
She's used to it.
The next day, Qiqi went to work and experienced growth.
In the afternoon, Qiqi said she was going to take Yuelu to the Green Park, but suddenly a rainstorm started, and the airship in the sky malfunctioned and was about to fall. The people on the airship panicked.
Upon seeing this, Qiqi bid farewell to Yuelu, saying she was going to fix the malfunction.
"But Kiki, your magic has already..."
"My magic may have weakened, but I can still fly, and I can save people!"
Yuelu gritted her teeth: "I'll go with you!"
After she finished speaking, she picked up the broom and flew into the sky with Qiqi.
But for some reason, his broom couldn't fly anymore.
Qiqi told Yuelu not to worry, that she could manage on her own, and then flew alone towards the airship...
Yuelu watched Qiqi walk away, her eyes filled with worry.
He muttered a complaint under his breath: "Why did my broom suddenly stop working? Ugh!"
After a moment of silence, Angel's voice reached her ears: "Because this is the story of the little witch Kiki."
Moon Dew turned her head and found that Angel had come to her side at some point, and together they were looking up at the airship in the sky.
How did you get in?
Angell joked, "Don't you call me brother anymore? You asked me why I came in? It's because I'm here to witness the ending of the story with you."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Yuelu's face: "Is the story coming to an end?"
Angell: "Every story has an ending, that's inevitable... but I'm happy about it."
Yuelu asked in confusion, "What's making you happy?"
Angell: "I'm so glad you enjoyed the story."
Moon Dew nodded silently: "I like this story, but now I want to help Qiqi... Big brother, can you make my broom fly?"
Angel didn't speak, nor did he turn to look at Moon Dew; he simply stretched out his hand in front of him.
"Did you see that?"
The torrential rain fell, passing through Angell's palm and continuously dropping to the ground.
"This is a world in a story. We are just spectators. Everything is an illusion. Just like this rain won't wet our hands, you can't touch those people, and you can't help Qiqi."
Like Angell, Moon Dew spread out her hands.
Despite the torrential rain, her hands remained completely dry.
“If you want to feel the dampness of water,” Angell turned to look at Moon Dew, “I can take you to that city of dreams, where there is a river with roaring, rushing water, and even just by the riverbank you can feel the unrestrained moisture.”
Moon Dew remained silent. She did want to experience the world, but not now.
"I...I want to fly to the sky."
"That's Qiqi's story; we're just readers."
“Even as a reader, I want to fly in the sky and watch Qiqi grow up up close.” Yuelu grabbed Angel’s sleeve: “Please, big brother, I… I will see the ending of the story, and then I will go to the city you mentioned with you.”
Angel glanced at Moon Dew and said irritably, "The way you're talking makes it sound like I'm forcing you to make a choice... I'm not forcing you, and I'm not lying to you."
"Fine, fine, go if you want."
Angel snapped his fingers lightly, and the broom, which had been stationary, suddenly started moving, carrying Moon Dew into the sky and speeding towards Kiki's location.
After a while.
The story ends.
Having regained her magical abilities, Kiki saved everyone on the airship at the last minute, and in front of everyone, she and Moon Dew embraced.
Even though they couldn't touch each other, at this moment, they seemed to feel each other's warmth.
Until the halo dissipated, the illusion melted away like water.
Qiqi turned into bubbles and disappeared, while Yuelu stood there for a long time, finally letting out a deep sigh...
