"Do you remember Dream City?"
"I do, why?"
"That's where we're going back to, Dream City."
...
Yin Yue seemed restless on the road, his troubled gaze only confirmed my unease. At that moment, it felt like he was about to leave at any time.
"Yue, you're familiar with Dream City, right?" I tried to change the subject to mask my anxiety.
"Yes, that's what my father left for me."
"Dream City belongs to you?"
"Is there something surprising about that?"
Yin Yue's tone made it seem like I was the one who was uninformed. Did everyone know?
"It originally belonged to the Demon Royal Family, and each generation's heir must approve it before it can be accessed."
"Wow, so you can control such a vast Dream City at will?"
I envied him; I had personally experienced Dream City, and it was terrifyingly large and beautifully stunning. It was an illusion like the shrine of Mosang, but vastly different.
"No, the place you visited last time was just the tip of the iceberg of Dream City."
After Yin Yue said that, I was stunned. If that was just a part of it, it was truly unimaginable.
"Why can't you control it all? Isn't it all yours?"
Silver Moon's bitter smile seemed weary. Throughout our conversation, he always appeared distracted.
"Because I am a part of it, or rather, I am the core of Dream City."
I was completely confused and did not understand what Silver Moon meant. Suddenly, the feeling of fear intensified.
"Moon, what do you mean?" I was afraid of his answer.
Silver Moon smiled, reached out to ruffle my hair, and pretended to be relaxed as he said, "Soon, we will play a game."
"What is it?"
"I'll tell you when we get there. Don't worry, with White Soul's Desire Stone, you won't be in too much danger."
Why is it "you" and not "us"...
"Moon, you won't leave us, right?" As I said this, my confidence somehow diminished significantly.
Silver Moon smiled faintly and remained silent.
Looking at the familiar stone tablet at the entrance with the golden characters " Dream City", I felt an urge not to go in.
Hesitating, I was left outside wandering alone. Silver Moon turned back and took my hand to lead me inside. He held my hand tightly, making me reluctant to let go.
It was still that extravagant hall, but the crowded and intoxicated academy was gone, along with Elder Qian.
"Since leaving the academy, I have taken this place back. No one can enter here except us," Silver Moon explained.
"What about Elder Qian?"
"He has chosen his own camp; why should I keep him?"
Sigh, how could I forget? We are in this war, the real battlefield.
“Xi Meng, this is for you.” Saying this, Silver Moon took off the ring from his hand and handed it to me.
I reflexively accepted it, and upon seeing the melancholic blue Life Stone, I couldn't calm down for a long time.
“Now, I can tell you about that game.” Silver Moon spoke each word slowly, piercing my heart like a needle.
“I will soon disappear; I don’t know where I will appear. Throughout the process, I will have no form. This Life Stone is the limit. If one day it shatters, then I will disappear forever.”
“Are you scared?” Silver Moon asked.
“Yes, I am scared.” Indeed, I was scared; my trembling right hand seemed unable to hold the ring.
“Don’t be afraid, Xi Meng, everyone will stay with you.”
“And you?”
“I—will wait for you.”
How many times has Silver Moon said "I will wait for you"?
I couldn't help it; I turned away, not wanting him to see my weakness.
“Don’t be afraid. That Life Stone actually shattered into three pieces. One piece is sealed within me, one piece is sealed in this ring, and the last and largest piece must be drawn out by completely turning me into a non-physical form and merging with it. After that, I will be controlled by it. So if we don’t find each other, I will become part of it, buried forever in Dream City.”
“I don’t want to lie to you, Xi Meng, I like you. I have liked you for a very long time. So please find me, okay?”
An embrace without warmth allowed Silver Moon to say goodbye. I didn’t turn around because I couldn’t bear it.
“So, Xi Meng, do you have anything you want to say to me?” Silver Moon’s voice was very soft. If he hadn’t spoken in my ear, I might not have heard it at all. But it pierced straight into my heart.
There are many questions I want to ask you. Along the way, I've been filled with doubts about you. But still, I can't bring myself to ask.
Silver Moon received no response, lowered her arms, and said, "It's okay. If you haven't found me, it should be expected."
Why should it be? I hadn't even had the chance to ask when Silver Moon continued,
"Well then, the game has begun. I've named it—Finding You."
...
"Moon—"
She really disappeared.
"Xi Meng, follow me." The Wild Ghost said.
I felt a bit dejected as I turned to walk towards everyone.
The Wild Ghost seemed very familiar with the area, leading us through twists and turns. The places we passed were not unfamiliar; they were all the spots we had walked together over the years.
"This is it." The Wild Ghost stopped in front of a narrow door.
Opening it, oh my god, what did I see?!
