Chapter 402 "Dream Boundary: The Cycle of Life and Death"
"Uh... well, since you mentioned it, I actually signed it." Lin Yi opened his mouth and said, never mind him, let's fool him first.
Doesn’t that mean that Li Huiyuan, Pan Jian, and Zhou Yuting all know something?
Then they still dare to laugh and joke?
Hand on...
Mr. Tian and the others also know?
No, I don’t know? !

He took a breath and suddenly thought that his memory node during this period was the blue bus. He couldn't remember the memory before that. Is it possible that the confidentiality agreement was so outrageous that he was forced to arrange a period of amnesia after signing it?
But... it's not right, it seems that he was the only one who was kept in the dark.
He couldn't help but feel a little pain in his head, and suddenly felt that the more he knew, the more he didn't know.
The female hostess gently touched the bookshelf in the historical academic literature section, and suddenly sighed quietly: "'Historical academic documents'...not because they are 'history' books, but because they are 'history books', some books that exist in 'waste history'..."
"You should know that since then, some books have been abandoned. In order to quickly adapt to the "new era", the number of history books printed has been greatly reduced, and professional basic books have been widely circulated...Between survival and death, this kind of spiritual food and human geography are not so important, especially human geography."
The land has been completely reduced to a restricted area..."
"A corner of a legendary outpost appeared in the Arctic Circle, and then that area was controlled..."
The female hostess sighed and said nothing more.
Lin Yi was silent for a while and said doubtfully:
"Then since you know everything, why are you applying to join the campus?"
Lin Yi found that his desire to explore the library suddenly dropped a bit. Some of the secrets of this female dormitory seemed more worthy of exploration.
He glanced at his watch.
4:33.
If the female dormitory didn't find him annoying, he could have a few words with her.
The female dormitory curled her lips: "Didn't I tell you before? It's not about money! I want to apply for Master Matthew's academic research course "On the Enlightenment of the Secret Patterns of Stars on the Desolate World"! Why is your memory so bad?"
"Uh... But it's not worth risking your life for 30,000 yuan, is it?" Lin Yi whispered.
"Damn..." the female hostess swore, "Everyone who comes here doesn't think he or she will die, okay? Artists are so brave, who knew that this place is weirder than what is said outside! If I had known this, I would have applied for extra money!"
"Uh... you said in the elevator that you wouldn't have come if you had known better..." Lin Yi reminded.
The female hostess rolled her eyes: "I was just saying that casually. In today's big environment, it's so hard to make money... With this opportunity, naturally everyone wants to make some money. How many experience quotas are there for S City University? People can’t even apply! If I didn’t ask someone to say something nice to me, I wouldn’t even be able to come!”
Lin Yi suddenly said, “You… are asking for death because of your connections? Do you have the ability to worry about thirty thousand?”
"Go away! Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you!" The female dormitory corrected helplessly, "It just happened to be that my major is more relevant, so I asked the teacher to help. It's not about money..."
"Okay. Okay, okay..." Lin Yi muttered, "As expected, people are either trapped by love or money, or both. You continue to read, and I will go to the side to take a look."
"Don't peek at me!" the female dormitory said suspiciously.
"Damn, do you really think I'm following you?" Lin Yi was speechless.
"I might not believe it if it were anyone else, but you..." The female dormitory looked Lin Yi up and down, "I would not doubt anything you, a perverted exhibitionist, do."
"Perverted Exhibitionist"
“Damn, that’s not what I wanted!” Lin Yi didn’t bother to explain, waved his hand, and walked towards the dream study sector.
Just looking at the counter area, you can't tell how much books are in a sector. After all, there may only be one or two rows of bookshelves at the beginning of the sector, but the deeper you go, the more bookshelves there are.
He didn't expect to learn anything by reading it. He was just interested in the study of dreams, so he planned to take a look at it casually.
Entering the dream science sector, he felt some faint restlessness in his heart, and it seemed that some desire to explore had begun to grow in his heart.
"How can I say that the library has a bookish atmosphere? I couldn't help but want to read it as soon as I came in." Lin Yi smacked his lips.
His eyes scanned the bookshelf, looking curiously at the books one after another.

"Dream Boundary: The Cycle of Life and Death"...
Every book looks extremely mysterious. Just looking at the title of the book, I feel that it is something deceptive. But in this place, this kind of mysterious... ah no, this kind of occult stuff seems to be the mainstream.
"How about... get a copy and read it?" Such an idea quickly came to Lin Yi's mind.
Library regulations encourage people to just wander around and have a look. Reading a book shouldn’t be a big deal, right?
He then reached out and picked up a copy of "Dream Boundary: The Cycle of Life and Death" from the bookshelf. But the moment he took the book down, he suddenly found a person suddenly appearing in the vacant space where the book had been taken off.
The man was staring straight at him with wide eyes, just across a bookshelf from him.
Seeing Lin Yi, the man's head tilted slightly, and his somewhat evil smile appeared in the gap between the bookshelves.
Lin Yi was startled, and almost summoned the bat with a trembling hand, and then inserted it into the guy's mouth through the bookshelf.
But he still thought of the article in the "Library Rules":
【When you meet other people, please note:
Don't pay attention to the eyes of others;
Don't talk to strangers, even the librarian;
You can trust the words of the librarian, but do not accept any of his requests. 】
Hence, he silently moved a few steps away, intending to avoid the guy, but the guy seemed to move close to the bookshelf and follow him.
If he doesn't move, the guy on the other side won't move either. When he moves, the guy will move with him.
He squinted his eyes and decided not to pay attention. As a last resort, his bat was not a vegetarian.
No matter what that guy is, after killing him, he will at most eat some pollution and accelerate the process of being polluted... There is nothing to panic about. After all, his current pollution threshold may exceed the average nocturnal species.
And he has both, very polluted and very pure. To a certain extent, the nocturnal species shouted "Great Mist-clad Light Chaser" when they saw it. Of course, to another extent, he may also be the ration that the angel sculpture wants to eat the most.
Who wouldn’t be confused after seeing Tang Monk’s meat being moved? It makes sense to be remembered.
Lin Yi laughed at himself, he was a hot cake wherever he went now - well, he was a hot cake in the literal sense.
He opened "Dream Border: The Cycle of Life and Death" and started reading...
Foreword:
"The border of dreams is the border of the world. Vague and mysterious..."
"I have gone through layers of fog, trying to decipher the meanings hidden behind the symbols in dreams, to understand why some dreams are like dark abyss, leaving me with lingering fears when I wake up..."
“This book records not only the research on dreams, but also my inquiry into the deepest and most secret corners of the boundary between the soul and the world when I was building a dream. I hope that every reader who opens this book will find resonance with his or her own dreams and a connection with the world. Let me embark on this journey to the border of dreams that is full of fantasy and mystery..."
"——"Dream Builder-HX-S-023""
Lin Yi was shocked when he saw the last signature.
"Dream Builder Number! This was actually written by a certain Dream Builder?!"
Invisibly, the professionalism of this book has risen to a higher level.
Unlike the old men and women who change skins when promoting a product in Chinese TV shopping, the author of this book does not need to say, "It is well known that our X family has been studying dream building for generations," "It has been like this since my grandfather's time," "Now I want to make a decision that goes against my ancestors and record the process of dream building in a book," and so on...
The preface of this book is simple and clear, and is directly marked with a signature.
What is professionalism?
This is called professionalism!
Lin Yi opened the text, and the content was indeed the "Dream Builder-HX-S-023"'s description of the process of building his own dream and perceiving the boundary of the dream:
"That was the first time I reached the boundary of the dream, and it was also the only time I reached the boundary of the dream..."
"It happened in December of X999, on the eve of the Spring Festival. I accepted the order from the organization and went to the Arctic Circle with the "Moon-III" survey team to search for traces of the existence of the "Black Moon Outpost" recorded in the "Book of Roots"..."
"On the way to join the "Moon-I" survey team, I seemed to hear some kind of call, and the voice was whirling in the wind. Sweeping and spreading in the polar storm, blurry and clear..."
"That night, after trekking and surveying along the way, I quickly fell asleep in the camp..."
"I noticed something abnormal as soon as I fell asleep. I knew I was dreaming. This feeling of lucidity and confusion is very strange... I knew that I was about to embark on a dream-building journey..."
"Darkness came like a tide and wrapped me tightly. I walked forward in chaos. There was no solid ground under my feet, only endless void... There was a faint light around me, like the debris of distant stars, but it could not illuminate the way forward..."
"My consciousness began to scream, trying to break through the fog of this dream, but my body could not help but float with the invisible gravity..."
"I felt fear, but also felt an unprecedented desire. I was about to peek into the taboo, as if I reached out and touched a corner of the gauze that the Creator had covered on the crystal mural. I touched it, and as long as I uncovered it, I would see a completely unknown mysterious world..."
Just reading the opening chapter, Lin Yi was addicted to it.
He slowly sat down with his back against the bookshelf, gently opened the pages, and his eyes slowly wandered between the words.
At first, those words were like a trickle, calmly outlining some vague scenes in his mind.
But as the reading progressed, his thoughts seemed to have stepped into an increasingly rapid river. He felt himself being pulled by an invisible force, approaching the depths of the dream, the boundary described by "Dream Builder-HX-S-23"...
Lin Yi continued to penetrate into the world depicted in the book. He felt that he was standing in a fog, and the ground under his feet seemed to be non-existent. Every step he took was as if he was stepping on cotton, without a solid touch.
He knew that the dream world described in the book began to come alive before his eyes. He seemed to have seen the original appearance of life, which was a faint but hopeful light, like the first star born in the dark universe, and he was following the trajectory of "Dream Builder-HX-S-023", walking towards the edge of the dream.
His ideas are so clear, just like "Dream Builder-HX-S-023" was so clear at the beginning...
The light flickered and gradually condensed into a small embryo, which began its journey of growth in the warmth of chaos. He could feel the vigorous vitality. Every cell division was like a song of life played, full of infinite possibilities.
But gradually, as the pages of the book turned, the shadows began to spread quietly, and the surrounding mist seemed to be alive, slowly wrapping around his ankles, and the cold and wet touch seemed to penetrate his senses and fall on his body.
Some of the mist gathered in front of him and formed various vague shapes, resembling humans but not humans, resembling beasts but not beasts. They bared their teeth and claws at him, but made no sound. As soon as he came closer, the mist dissipated, as if it had been blown away.
He watched the constant reincarnation of life and death at the border of the dream. He began to be immersed and sinking, but he seemed to feel some kind of terror and despair that he could not escape...
Just when this feeling began to erode his soul, he began to run and escape again following the words "Dream Builder-HX-S-023", trying to escape from these terrifying phantoms, but his legs seemed to be bound by invisible ropes, and he could only move with difficulty.
He gradually understood the despair felt by "Dream Builder-HX-S-023", but he was unable to break away. He could only let his consciousness follow the words of "Dream Builder-HX-S-023" and sink little by little in this chaotic place of illusion and reality...
