Chapter 395: Fear in the Dream

The white ceiling exudes a familiar smell.

The crisp chirping of birds could be heard outside the window, as well as the sounds of people on the street and the sound of vehicles driving one after another.

"Classmate Li Yang, please answer this question."

“What events in the development of ancient Greek democracy laid the foundation for Athenian democracy?”

On the podium, the teacher tapped the blackboard with his pointer.

A pair of sharp eyes stared straight at Li Yang.

The classmate next to me secretly opened the textbook to the page of knowledge points, pointed at the content on it, and whispered reminders.

Li Yang stood up stupidly and answered: "At the beginning of the sixth century BC...Solon's reforms..."

The teacher on the podium nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, sit down and don't be distracted during class time."

"Students, we all know..."

The hustle and bustle of the classroom, the familiar noise.

Everything was like throwing Li Yang back into his dream.

Li Yang confirmed that his system was still there, and his authority and ability were also there.

So, now I am even more confused.

Didn't it mean that this dream would make him see what he fears most?

How could this... directly start taking him back to history?

"Dong dong dong——"

Just as he was wondering, the classroom door was suddenly knocked open by someone.

A familiar figure was standing outside the door, waving gently towards Li Yang:

"Hi~"

Li Yang widened his eyes and blurted out:

"Artemis!?"

"No, you..."

"Why are you here!?"

The visitor was none other than Artemis, who was wearing a school uniform.

With a smile on her face, she pointed to her head:

"Don't forget that the authority you used once belonged to me."

"To a certain extent, our consciousness is one."

After saying that, he opened his legs and walked slowly inside.

Unexpectedly, there was no teacher or classmate in the entire classroom, because Artemis's appearance felt strange.

He was still attending class normally, talking about knowledge points that were completely meaningless to Li Yang today.

"I don't know what it looks like over there...but what I see here is very strange."

"But...it doesn't matter."

"Since we are connected together, let's go out together."

With that said, he stretched out his hand towards Li Yang.

But Li Yang shook his head and said:

"No, wait a moment."

"There's someone I want to meet."

Artemis tilted her head in confusion:

"You...should know that this is all fake, right?"

Li Yang nodded.

Artemis was very puzzled: "Then...why are you still obsessed with dreams?"

Li Yang smiled: "After all, this may be my only chance to see them."

Artemis frowned slightly: "Them? Who are you referring to?"

Li Yang shrugged and did not answer.

Artemis sighed helplessly, walked over and sat down next to Li Yang:

"Well, you don't mind if I get closer to you, do you?"

"My dream here is a bit weird."

Li Yang was a little curious: "Why, what are you afraid of?"

Artemis smiled:

"I saw myself transformed into a penguin and thrown on a snowy iceberg."

"Right now, there is a large pile of penguins squatting next to me, all looking at me eagerly."

Li Yang smiled, knowing that she was talking nonsense without even thinking about it.

But since she doesn't want to tell herself, then forget it.

If you continue to ask questions, you are just asking for trouble.

Time passed by minute by minute, and it was gradually time for school to end.

Li Yang stood up, not even bothering to pack his things, and was ready to go out.

Seeing this, my deskmate asked in surprise:

"Li Yang, are you going crazy? You don't even bring your homework!?"

Li Yang glanced at him, grinned, and did not answer.

Follow the memory in your mind.

He walked through the busy road and came to the familiar door.

I went up to that all-too-familiar floor and gently knocked on a certain door——

"Dong dong dong——"

Artemis has been following Li Yang, a little confused:

"Are you...knocking on the door?"

"I'm getting more and more curious about what you're looking at."

Soon there was the sound of "pattering" walking inside the door.

Then, the door was slowly pushed open.

A familiar face appeared in front of Li Yang:

"Left your keys at school again?"

"Why didn't you bring your schoolbag with you this time? Did you go to the Internet cafe again?"

"Come in, wash your hands quickly, and get ready to eat!"

A rather complicated smile appeared on Li Yang's face:

"Hey, that's good."

"mom..."

Artemis opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But looking at Li Yang's expression, he finally stopped talking.

Li Yang walked into the house and looked around at this home full of memories.

Hanging on the wall are paintings from his childhood, and the bookshelves are filled with books he has read countless times.

Every corner is full of warmth and familiarity.

Artemis stood aside quietly, not disturbing Li Yang's memories.

She knew that this moment was of great significance to Li Yang.

Li Yang sat on the sofa, holding his hands tightly together, as if thinking about something.

A trace of barely perceptible sadness flashed across his eyes.

Artemis sat opposite him, looking at him quietly.

She knew that Li Yang was talking to his heart, which was a spiritual baptism.

"I know all this is fake, but this feeling... is really real."

Li Yang closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Artemis whispered:

"Dreams are sometimes more real than reality. It can touch our deepest emotions and let us face our truest side."

Li Yang nodded, opened his eyes, and looked at Artemis:

"What about you? What is your dream like?"

Artemis smiled slightly:

"Me..."

"I also saw... what I looked like when I was born."

Li Yang smiled: "Really? That sounds good."

Beside him, the flames burned.

There was a dead silence in the dead star remains.

Artemis stood among countless corpses, looking at Li Yang in the light, and smiled elegantly:

"Yeah..."

"It's really good..."

Artemis sighed: "You have to know that the meaning of this dream is to scare you, so that you have to give up in the trembling."

"The more beautiful things you see, the more likely it is... to be torn apart more tragically."

"For your own good... no matter how unforgettable the dream is, you must know how to give up."

The two fell into silence, each immersed in their own thoughts.

After a while, Li Yang stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the world outside the window.

After a long time, he slowly turned around and said to Artemis:

"Well, let's go, there are still many things waiting for us to do."
