Chapter 6: Dreamland
Alliance Calendar 2nd Star Era 63512 Cosmic Year
It was approaching summer afternoon, and the scorching sun was scorching Ling Han who was sitting by the window. The empty campus was filled with the smell of burnt earth.
The sleepy Ling Han looked at the trees outside the window and was looking forward to the end of get out of class. For some reason, he always felt that this summer seemed to be much more difficult than in previous years, which made him very uncomfortable as he already likes cold and hates heat.
Even when the teacher called his name and asked him to get up to answer the question, he was still half asleep and half awake.
"What's wrong, classmate Ling Han, have you not decided how to answer this question yet?" Teacher Jia asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"No, no, I just want to ask...what class is this?"
…
"Get out and stand for punishment!"
Under the roar of laughter from his classmates and the glare from the teacher who wanted to eat him alive, Ling Han walked out dejectedly.
"Why are you laughing? I ask you why you are laughing!" Teacher Jia turned around and slapped the podium and roared, the veins on his forehead popped out, and then he said some sad words: Why did I choose it in the first place?
This class of yours is the worst I have ever taught. The physical education teacher for the next class is sick and will be changed to physics!
Listening to the wailing sounds of the students in the classroom, Ling Han, who was facing the harsh sunlight outside the door, thought about the night five days ago again.
On a starless night, he who rarely dreams had a strange dream that day.
In the dream, he was in the center of the vast universe, with countless stars and planets passing quickly before his eyes and gradually moving away until they twisted, deformed and finally disappeared into the endless darkness.
In a very short period of time, one star after another flashed before his eyes, from rebirth to death. It was not known how long it had passed. There were fewer and fewer stars floating in front of him, and the vast universe gradually became darker. It seemed that
It's like we've reached the edge of the universe.
Until the last star in the last galaxy twisted and disappeared behind him, he finally felt that he was no longer moving, or that he had completely lost his direction.
I don't know how much time passed, but in the darkness, he suddenly realized that he was on the edge of a huge rift. Pain, despair, regret... These inexplicable emotions seemed to condense into a bottomless abyss, eroding his spirit.
Just when his mind was about to be completely controlled, a pair of giant red pupils outside the dark rift opened instantly!
Full of fear, he suddenly felt his feet hit the ground, and a feeling of weightlessness swept over his body and he fell down. Only then was he able to break free from his dream.
There was still no change in the original room around him. He was frightened and woke up, gasping for air and trying his best to calm his breathing.
"So it was just a dream, it scared me to death..." Ling Han subconsciously wiped the big beads of sweat on his forehead in a daze.
"Fortunately it was just a dream."
Sitting up from the bed, he was sleepless after being disturbed like this. He reached out to turn on the lamp on the bedside table, but found that there was no response no matter how hard he pressed it.
"Wow, even drinking water can clog your teeth. Is there a power outage at this time?"
"Forget it, let's find some water first." Without the light, I had to fumble around in the darkness for a while, but accidentally knocked over the water glass on the table, accompanied by the sound of something falling to the ground. Now I couldn't even think of how to get up.
Annoyed, he rolled out of bed, found a small candle from the drawer in the dark, and lit it. The weak flame cast its shadow on the whitewashed wall. For some reason, Ling Han felt a chill from the soles of his feet.
When I touched it, I couldn't help but shudder.
Looking along the spot where the water glass had fallen, he saw that besides the water glass, there was also a new mechanical watch he bought a few weeks ago. He quickly went up and picked up the watch from the puddle.
"Why is it only two o'clock in the morning? Time passes so slowly." He threw the watch casually into a box that didn't have much space.
A strong wind blew outside, beating the whole house, and a cool and moist air came in through the crack in the door.
"Oh my god, my parents don't have the memory to close the balcony window!"
I pushed open the side door of my bedroom by the balcony. My parents had already fallen asleep next door. The wind outside was stronger than what I heard in the room. The forest in front of the house was blown away by the wind.
As expected, the southernmost window was not closed properly, and the wind was pouring in from that corner, mixed with sporadic rain and rolled up sand. After a thunder, the rain outside became more intense.
After going up and using all his strength to close the window against the wind, he brought a mop to get rid of the accumulated water that had fallen into the balcony. As soon as he picked up the mop and wanted to drag it down, many white spots floating in the beach caused a stir.
his attention.
"This is a star, why are there tails trailing behind it..." He looked at the sky, and dense white dots appeared like a meteor shower.
This planet is near the asteroid belt. Because of its gravity, it often attracts some meteorites to fall on this planet to form a meteor shower. In the past, most of them would be consumed by the atmosphere in mid-air, but this time the atmosphere is obviously unable to digest these meteorites. Meteorites are filling the sky.
It grows in size at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When he remembered to avoid one of the meteorites heading straight for his house, it was too late.
Thousands of rays of light as bright as daylight have descended from the sky and are flying towards various places on this continent.
The dazzling light and the strong dizziness made him feel nauseous, and an unbearable headache followed one after another. He found it very difficult to breathe, and gradually lost consciousness and passed out.
…
"Son? Son! Ling Han? Wake up!"
"Uh~" He gradually opened his eyes in his father's arms the next morning.
"Ah!" After realizing that he was still alive, he suddenly sat up straight, frightening his father who was holding him.
"Huh? Not dead?" he shouted excitedly, touching all over his body.
Then he looked around: "The house is still there..."
On the other hand, his father Ling Huai was confused. At this time, he ignored Ling Han's soliloquy and repeatedly asked him if he wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up.
"No...it's nothing. Maybe I'm sleepwalking. I'm okay..." Ling Han tried hard to piece together the fragmented memories of last night.
"But having said that, there is nothing serious. My face just hurts a little. Why is it still swollen? Is it because I caught a cold last night?" He touched his face and said to himself.
"Oh, that's not the case. Your dad just kept you awake no matter what, so he slapped your ears a few times. It might have been a little harsh." His mother, Ding Yu, interjected.
"Look at you, tell me to be gentle, look at the child's face is swollen!"
