"Let me go!" Yu Hao shouted, and the iron armored man grabbed him firmly, dragged him back to the city wall, and threw him to the ground.

Yu Hao fell to the ground, sat up in a mess, leaning against the brick wall on the city wall, staring at the person in front of him.

The man with iron armor walked towards him, making a slight sound of metal friction. The man was tall and wore a silver helmet covering his head, like a medieval knight, and a long sword beside his waist.

The Knight came to him five steps away and stopped.

"You...you..." Yu Hao said in disbelief, "Who are you? Where is this?"

The knight turned his head and looked at the other end of the Great Wall. Yu Hao leaned against the brick wall, slowly stood up, and looked in the direction where he turned his head.

I saw a darkness in the Great Wall, the autumn wind was blowing, the fallen leaves were falling, and thousands of miles of wilderness were falling.

Outside the Great Wall, there is a darkness that cannot be seen.

"Oh, it's a bit serious." said the Iron Armor Knight, "No wonder, it's just a little bit. It seems that I'm still here in time?"

Yu Hao's eyebrows were deeply locked, and he looked at the iron armored knight in the dim skylight.

"I am your dream guardian." The Iron Armored Knight stretched out his right hand covered with metal gloves and said, "Call me 'General', and I will take care of you for the first time."

Yu Hao: "..."

Yu Hao stretched out his hand and was about to shake hands with him, but the next moment, the knight suddenly withdrew his hand and shouted, "Beware!"

Before Yu Hao could come back to his senses, he glanced at a deafening roar. A huge, pitch-black monster rushed up from under the city wall with a roar! The monster had four feet on the ground, nearly three meters high, and was covered with scales. As soon as he rushed up, the "General" instantly pulled Yu Hao behind him with his left hand, and quickly pulled out the sword from his waist with his right hand, and swept forward like lightning!

The monster roared wildly and spewed out black blood. Then the general turned around quickly and turned, clenched his left fist, covered his fist with heavy iron gloves, and hit the monster's head with a punch. It suddenly sounded muffled, and it deformed its head and fell straight out of the Great Wall!

Yu Hao couldn't help but breathe, and at this moment, darkness spread like flowing mercury from outside the Great Wall, climbing up the city wall. One after another, the rotten black wolf pack climbed up along the city wall. The general turned his back to Yu Hao, faced the rotten wolf pack, and kept waving the long sword in his hand, shouting: "Too many!"

Yu Hao panicked: "What is this? What should I do?"

The general said: "I will cover you! Get out of here first!"

Yu Hao turned around and looked into the city wall. He jumped down from ten meters high, most of which he would break his legs. The general shouted: "It's useless to escape into the Great Wall! They will chase after you sooner or later! Run along the city wall!"

The general swept away the rotten wolf on his pounce and shouted: "You go first!"

Yu Hao took a few steps back and the general chased him. Yu Hao felt a little relieved. There were more and more wolves, and he couldn't stop climbing up the city wall. He ran along the Great Wall. The general behind him was getting faster and faster. The armor made a sound. After a while, he chased him, dragged him and rushed towards the distance of the city wall.

There were many corner rooms in the middle of the Great Wall that could not be seen at first sight. The general shouted: "Run into the room!"

The rotten wolf rushed forward one after another. Yu Hao first broke the door and entered a corner room. The general immediately turned around and broke the back and knocked the rotten wolf that rushed to the front side. The two of them dodged back at the same time and pushed the door from both sides. There was a bang and the world was pitch black.

The general couldn't resist the shocking door and shouted, "Find the door bolt!"

Yu Hao groped around, tripped down on the ground, found the door bolt, and held it towards the door. There was a rumbling sound, the door was stable, still moving, and it became quiet outside.

Yu Hao gasped in the darkness and said, "Where is this...?"

"Find the Fire." The general replied in the dark.

Yu Hao said: "Where?"

"I don't know, but there will be." The general said again.

"What does it mean?" Yu Hao was dizzy. He was obviously burning charcoal, but for some reason he came here, and was chased by a group of inexplicable wolves, and an iron armored knight appeared.

"As long as you believe there is a fire, it will appear." The general explained, "The soldiers guarding the Great Wall will leave fire, right? Otherwise, how can they ignite the beacon fire."

Yu Hao thought about it, so he turned around and touched along the wall, touched a shelf, followed the shelf for a long time, and touched a small thing.

"It's a lighter." Yu Hao said.

"There should be a light." The general said again.

Yu Hao pressed the windproof lighter, and a "buzzing" sound spewed out flames, illuminating a small area. There was indeed a lamp under the shelf. The general held it, and Yu Hao lit it up, and the corner room suddenly lit up.

The surroundings are empty.

Yu Hao looked at the armor through the light and suddenly became a little curious about the man inside.

"What the hell is this?!" Yu Hao asked for the third time, "Tell me!"

The general did not move at all, facing the light, as if he was in a daze.

"Life is short." The general said calmly, "Since he has given up the idea of ​​living, why still escape in front of the wolf pack?"

Yu Hao sighed and replied, "If you have hope of living, why bother to die?" He said that, he leaned against the wall of the corner room and sat on the ground, a little annoyed.

"What makes you want to survive?" The general sat down next to Yu Hao, put one hand on his shoulder. The armor was very cold, but Yu Hao had the urge to cry.

"I don't know." Yu Hao murmured.

"This is your dream," said the general. "The dark world outside the Great Wall is your subconscious mind. Once you jump down, your life will end from now on. The last thought of survival will be extinguished. The yearning for living and the only hope will fall into the subconscious mind."

Yu Hao: "..."

"Do you want to survive?" said the general, "You decide for yourself."

"I remember... I haven't had this dream, no, I have done it!" Yu Hao murmured, but he remembered it in an instant. For a long time after his grandmother passed away, he had dreamed several times repeatedly, standing on a high wall, hesitating whether to jump down.

There was a wasteland inside the wall, and there was an abyss outside the wall. He kept wandering on the city wall, and he wandered like this for many years.

"Everything here is changed by your hints to yourself." The general said casually, "Putting the door bolt means that you think the room is completely safe, so, listen? It's quiet outside."

After a long silence, the general's voice sounded again.

"Don't blame me for meddling in other people's business, you don't really want to die."

"Why?"

"Because you are still here," the general said, then patting Yu Hao on the shoulder, like a reliable big brother, stood up and stood up, "not jumping off the city wall."

"You are right." Yu Hao sighed, but his eyes became brighter at this moment. "I'm still hesitating, but I don't know why I hesitated."

"It's enough to say this. Since you haven't made up your mind yet, let's try it." The general looked at the ceiling of the corner room with the light.

"What to try?" Yu Hao frowned.

The general murmured: "Let the sun rise, otherwise even if you just return to reality, next time, you will... anyway... well... you look at it."

Yu Hao held the light and looked up. There was an enclosed skylight on the ceiling of the corner room. The general said, "Come on, I'll send you up first. There should be a ladder above. Put the ladder down."

Yu Hao said strangely: "Isn't it my dream? Why do you know better than me?"

"This is common sense..." the general said, stomping slightly, putting his hands on his palms, signaling Yu Hao to come over, and Yu Hao stepped on his palms.

"...and the psychological suggestion I gave you by the way..." The general raised him to his head, Yu Hao opened the skylight, put the light outside, and climbed up.

Where Yu Hao stood was a high place in the corner of the Great Wall. The platform extended out of the platform, with a huge siege crossbow standing on it, and there was a ladder next to it. He looked out at the platform, and at that moment he saw more and more rotten wolves, climbing over the Great Wall, flooding the huge wall like a crucian carp crossing the river.

The black tide is like a fast growing vegetation, spreading continuously on the Great Wall.

"More and more!" Yu Hao shouted down.

The general replied below: "Let me go up first! Is there a ladder?"

Yu Hao put down the ladder, the general quickly climbed up the platform, took a look, and said, "Oh no, faster than I thought."

"What should I do?" Yu Hao asked.

The general looked into the distance, nearly half a kilometer away, there was a towering pedestal.

"The goal is to light it up," said the general, "and someone will come to save you."

"Who?" Yu Hao asked.

"Ask yourself," said the general, "rushing over the Great Wall."

The city wall road leading to the beacon tower was covered with rotten wolf, but they did not seem to notice Yu Hao and the man in iron armor, but went one after another to climb over the Great Wall and headed towards the pass, as if there were delicious foods to attract them in the distant sky inside the Great Wall.

"Be prepared." said the general, "I'll jump first, follow me, don't be afraid."

"Wait." Yu Hao sorted out his thoughts and suddenly asked, "This is my dream, right?"

The general said "Hmm?" and turned his head to look at Yu Hao from his helmet. Yu Hao asked again: "If I want a lighter, I have a lighter. If I want a ladder, I have a ladder. Then... can I make you more powerful?"

The general replied without thinking, "Impossible."

"Why?" Yu Hao frowned.

The general said: "There is not much time left, are you sure you want to listen?"

Yu Hao hesitated for a moment, and the general said, "You just need to remember that our abilities are limited now. You who stand here are not the real you, but just a part of the self-awareness of the entire 'you'."

Yu Hao: "What...what? Then what about you? Why are you the Guardian?"

The general drew his sword and murmured, "I am not part of this dream. You can treat me as an outsider... ready to jump!"

"Wait!" Before Yu Hao could hear clearly, the general had already swung his sword and jumped into the city wall corridor!

Yu Hao had no choice but to make up his mind, quickly chased the general, jumped down the city wall corridor nearly three meters high, and climbed up the city wall to find them and rushed towards the general.

"Give me a weapon!" Yu Hao shouted.

The general threw the sword to him, and Yu Hao took it. The general turned out to be naked and opened the way ahead. Yu Hao shouted, "What about you?"

The general grabbed a rotten wolf and punched the wolf's head with one punch. His iron fist seemed to have ten thousand pounds of force, and his heavy armor was carrying nearly two hundred kilograms of force, rushing around. Yu Hao held a lantern in one hand and a sword in the other, swept away. The sword was extremely sharp, and he cut it into two halves as soon as he hit the rotten wolf.

The roar and anger resounded through his ear drums. Yu Hao only subconsciously followed the general in the melee. The two of them cleared a way and rushed towards the Great Wall beacon. Yu Hao almost fell several times. The general's powerful hand held his wrist tightly and shouted: "Pick up the lamp!"

Immediately afterwards, Yu Hao felt his body light and was picked up horizontally by the waist. The general ran a few steps, then jumped, and the wolf pack scattered, fifty steps, thirty steps... like an arrow leaving the string, rushing towards the beacon tower!
