Chapter 224 'Land of Exile'

"Shit! Don't run!"

In the golden hour, in the dream.

"Listen to me, I swear I won't hurt you! Why are you still running away?" Lin Yu's voice echoed in the mist of dreams, with a hint of helplessness and eagerness.

"Come on, face me...fuck me...fuck me! I'm standing right in front of me!" Lin Yu followed closely behind the monster, shouting loudly, trying to calm it down with words.

However, the monster seemed to be in another world. It turned a deaf ear to Lin Yu's call and continued to flee desperately.

No, it must have heard it, otherwise why would it flee in such panic? Lin Yu thought to himself.

"Are you worried that I will repeat the same mistake and cut off your tentacles again? Don't be afraid. I promise you that I will not do it this time. I really mean it."

"Aren't you angry about what happened last time? I'll just stand here and let you stab me to your heart's content, how about that?" Lin Yu faced the monster that was constantly retreating in front of him, his tone full of sincerity and compromise.

However, the monster continued to flee...

"Damn it, I gave you so many chances, but you insisted on playing with me like this!" Lin Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with uncontrollable anger, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if every word was accompanied by a roar in his heart.

He swung his hand violently, and in his palm, a branch shining with emerald green light appeared like an arrow shot from a bow. With a "whoosh" sound, it flew straight in the direction where the monster fled, accompanied by a sharp sound of wind.

The branch drew a graceful arc in the air and accurately wrapped around one of the monster's tentacles.

However, at this moment, it made an astonishing move. It waved the rest of its tentacles without hesitation, and with a flash of cold light, it cut off its bound tentacles. The broken limbs drew a bloody track in the air and fell to the ground with a muffled "click" sound.

"!!!"

Seeing this, Lin Yu opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

He took a step forward suddenly, the ground under his feet trembled, and roared: "I, Lin Yu, will fight you today! Let's see whether you can run or I can chase you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu's speed suddenly increased. He shuttled through the air like a ghost, leaving behind a trail of afterimages, and went straight towards the monster.

At Lin Yu's speed that seemed to be able to see through everything, he approached the monster again.

But this time, he did not rush to attack. Instead, he took a deep breath, and his chest swelled. A dark and deep breath surged out of his body. Then, a huge, dark hand covered with black lines suddenly broke out from his chest, and with destructive force, it grabbed the monster that was still struggling to escape in the air.

The monster let out a series of shrill roars and twisted its body wildly, but it was unable to break free from the clutches of the dark hand.

Lin Yu, on the other hand, had a stern face and sharp eyes, staring closely at the prey in his hand. It was just a little bit away from escaping into the mysterious purple mist again and escaping his control.

But at this moment, everything is a foregone conclusion.

"Run? You still want to run? Run again and let me see?" Lin Yu grabbed it and pointed at it with his other hand.

"Can you stab me? If you don't stab me, you can't run away...right?"

"It's no use staying here forever, right?"

"Oh..you can't talk."

"There are a lot of eyes on this tentacle... Is it poisonous? Can I touch it?" Lin Yu asked it.

But the monster did not respond.

When Lin Yu touched it, he felt a chill.

"If you don't do it, then I will?" Lin Yu said to it.

When Lin Yu raised the tip of the tentacle, he tried to stab himself.

"I'm not a masochist..."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he held the tentacles and stabbed himself.

"Pfft"

The imagined pain did not come.

Lin Yu felt dizzy and then fainted.

...

"Brother? Big brother? Wake up..this place is ours..."

Lin Yu seemed to hear someone calling him in his ear.

He gradually woke up from his sleep.

Lin Yu opened his eyes, sat up, and looked at the group of children around him.

"Big brother, are you homeless too?"

"Although we sympathize with you...but this seat is ours...if possible...can you please move aside?" One of the children said to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu stood up and looked at them in confusion.

The place where I just lay was in a small alley, and there was a sofa deep in the alley...

There was a blanket on the ground and wire mesh around, and there were lots of pillows.

"Where is this place..." Lin Yu asked them.

"Don't you know, big brother?"

"This place is called the Land of Exile. If you want, you can come here to experience the 'suffering in a dream'..."

"If you can't stand it... you can leave, but it won't be so easy to come in next time, because Mianmian doesn't have that much time to take care of us..."

"Sure enough...that meme is the key to the problem..." Lin Yu said to himself.

"What?" the child asked.

"Nothing, you guys... uh... just pretend I didn't say anything." Lin Yu shook his head and left.

"They volunteered... Why should I worry? Maybe in real life... they are all talented people with status..." Lin Yu laughed at himself.

...

"Everyone sang really well. I rarely try this style of music, and I learned a lot!" In the distance, a man stood on a simple stage and spoke to the crowd below.

There were many TVs on the stage, but only one was playing.

"I really don't know how to thank you, Miss Robin. In just a few days, the children have made such great progress." The woman at the side expressed her sincere gratitude to Robin.

"Ms. Grissa, I only taught them how to speak, but it was you who taught them to have hope in life. Life in reality must be very hard, right?" asked the robin.

"You figured it out." Grissa slowly lowered her head.

“Every time they say goodbye, the children are reluctant to leave this land of dreams. But I have visited every corner of Liumeng Reef and visited every person. They all told me that this broken dream... is not worth lingering on.” The robin said softly, and then looked at the vortex in the distance that looked like a black hole.

"Haha, you are indeed the son of Harmony that everyone expects."

"Emma and Andy are both orphans I adopted. Carol, who is blind, works in a nutrition house outside Pinocchio. Gary has suffered from autism since he was a child. They are not yet adults, and they cannot realize their family's dream."

“If people are compared to birds, these children are all fledglings born with incomplete wings. But in this dream, they can get complete wings. Even though they fly stumblingly, they are soaring with their own strength.”

"As for me, an old man who lost both legs...if it weren't for this dream, I wouldn't even be able to walk up to them." Grissa smiled helplessly.

"I'm glad you've started a new life in Pinocchio's dream, but..." The robin suddenly fell silent.

"Don't worry, Miss Mockingbird. Dreams have meaning, but they are not everything. The children and I understand this. No matter how long we fly in our dreams, we will eventually return to reality. But you see, Emma and Gary are no longer ashamed of themselves. Carol gradually understands how to face the troubles of blindness. Andy is much more lively than before. Even I have become more optimistic."

"We learn to live in dreams, and then return to reality... learn to survive. This is the meaning of dreams..."

“If your wings are unfortunately broken, then lend them to each other. Don’t be greedy for the illusory sky in your dreams, because we have the right and the ability to fly to a wider world.”

Lin Yu listened to their conversation quietly from a distance.

At this moment, Lin Yu also understood the true meaning of dreams... not just for fun...

When they said goodbye, Lin Yu transferred the abundant power of the past into her body and into the bodies of every child.

When they return to reality... they will probably be surprised, right?

Lin Yu shook his head, not knowing whether what he was doing was right or wrong.

Then Lin Yu took a step and walked towards the robin on the stage.
