"Sigh..."
Seeing his sister's attitude, Fang Mo sighed complexly.
If this dream was indeed real, then it could only mean that the living conditions of his family after the accident were much worse than he had anticipated.
This could easily be seen from Fang Xin's attitude.
She might have never stepped out of her psychological shadow.
Not to mention his parents, Fang Mo suspected that no one had followed his will to throw away his belongings to avoid increasing their longing and such.
After some thought, Fang Mo took a deep breath and then continued to explain to his sister: "Xinxin, you know, calm down a bit. Your brother didn't die; I just went to another world. If you don't believe it, we can talk about this matter. Don't you believe in your brother?"
"My parents said the same thing to me."
However, Fang Xin shrank back and said sadly, "They also said you just went to a faraway place, but I'm not a child anymore. I know brother died, it's impossible to survive being crushed by a car like that..."
"Emmm..."
Hearing Fang Xin's words, Fang Mo fell into a brief headache again.
He was now caught in a paradox of reasoning.
It's like an ordinary person walking down the street and then being mistakenly taken for a mental patient. How do you explain to the doctor that you're not a mental patient?
It's not like you can cry and call your mom, saying, "Mom, I'm hallucinating, right?"
Fang Mo looked at Fang Xin and pondered for a long time. He was usually very smooth in deceiving characters in stories, but when it came to his own sister, he felt a headache and didn't know how to start.
"Well... How about this."
After thinking, Fang Mo once again spoke to his sister: "Xinxin, do you think the brother in front of you is just a hallucination? All fake?"
"Mhm."
Fang Xin nodded lightly.
"Do you know how hallucinations are formed?"
Fang Mo asked again.
"I don't know." Fang Xin shook her head and sobbed, "Maybe I miss brother too much, so I dreamed of him. This is not the first time, but I can distinguish all this..."
"Do you know? Dreams are constructed based on your own memories."
Fang Mo tried to explain: "That means, if this is just a dream of yours, then you, me, and everything here are scenes recreated by your brain using memories. But humans cannot create dreams of experiences they've never had. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"What does that mean?"
Fang Xin seemed to hear this for the first time in her dream and hesitated to ask.
"Simply put." Fang Mo saw his sister was interested and immediately started giving examples: "If you've never been to a place, then your dreams cannot piece together that scene for you. Or say you've never eaten a certain food, so even if you eat it in your dream, it won't have the corresponding taste, understand?"
In fact, Fang Mo's examples were quite easy to understand.
This is also why Fang Xin is his sister, not a brother or someone else.
Otherwise, Fang Mo would definitely use the example of a "virgin teenager dreaming about sex" because everyone would understand that since they have seen movies, their brains can create corresponding dreams. But since they are virgins, actual experiences in dreams are impossible, and the brain lacks the necessary material, so they often wake up at critical moments.
Fang Mo often had such dreams in the past.
It proved to be a very painful thing for men.
"Look, Xinxin."
Before his sister could say anything, Fang Mo once again spoke: "If brother is really just a figment of your imagination, then why can brother create these things?"
As he said this, Fang Mo's thoughts moved.
The entire space suddenly vibrated strangely, and everything outside rapidly changed, transforming the prison-like room into the glorious palace of Asgard, with bizarre alien fruits laid on the table, everything appearing so brightly lit.
"Xinxin, look up at this."
Fang Mo patted his sister's shoulder and said softly, "Have you ever seen the scenery here?"
"...?"
Hearing this, Fang Xin slowly looked up at her surroundings.
The moment she saw her surroundings, she was instantly stunned, staring unbelievably at the magnificent scene around her, looking like a lost child.
"Where is this?"
Having never seen such a thing before, Fang Xin blinked her eyes in a somewhat dazed and adorable manner.
"Welcome to Mod Paradise, Asgard."
Seeing his sister finally willing to look up, Fang Mo directly picked her up from the ground, saying, "Haven't I told you? I'm now on good terms with the gods of the Nordic region, simply asking them to prepare a palace for me is nothing. Here, try this."
As he spoke, Fang Mo suddenly summoned his stand, Steve.
Steve rummaged through his backpack and quickly pulled out a pixelated small berry.
Then, as Fang Mo reached out his hand, Steve passed it over smoothly, and with the materialization of a bright white light, a round, translucent red berry suddenly appeared in Fang Mo's hand.
"What are all these...?"
Fang Xin looked incredulously at everything before her.
"This is my stand, Steve." Fang Mo said with a smile, patting his sister's head. "How about it? Have you never seen these things before? Here, give it a try."
After saying this, Fang Mo handed the small berry over.
Although Fang Xin was visibly confused, she still subconsciously took the small berry and popped it into her mouth, chewing a few times before immediately widening her glossy, large eyes: "It's so delicious..."
"Tastes good, doesn't it?"
Seeing this, Fang Mo smiled with satisfaction.
What he gave to Fang Xin was none other than the small berries that come with the super biomes mod pack.
These round, red little fruits are not species from Earth but are unique to a game world. They appear to be a type of soft, juicy berry that at most can only restore 1 hunger point in the game, quite trashy, but due to the quality associated with MC products, these berries taste exceptionally good.
To call it a berry, yet it simultaneously possesses the flavors of various tropical fruits.
"Yum, so delicious..."
It turned out that Fang Xin also liked it very much, nodding immediately after Fang Mo's inquiry.
"Xinxin, have you ever eaten this before?"
Fang Mo materialized another berry and handed it to Fang Xin to ask.
"It doesn't seem like it." After examining the berry for a moment, Fang Xin then shook her head: "Not only have I not eaten it, I've never even seen it."
"Right."
Fang Mo said, patting her head: "Since you've never seen or eaten this before, your brain can't construct it. The same goes for the scenery you see before you that you've never seen... So, you're not dreaming, all of this is real."
"Really?"
Hearing this, Fang Xin's body began to tremble slightly, not knowing whether it was from excitement or nervousness: "But... isn't brother dead?"
"Well, my physical body should indeed be dead."
Fang Mo said, touching his chin: "But it seems my soul didn't die, just went to another world. I've been trying to find a way back, and only now have I sort of figured it out..."
"So, brother can come back?"
Fang Xin asked nervously.
"Should be able to..."
Just as Fang Mo was about to nod, at that moment, the entire world came to a halt.
It was as if someone had pressed the pause button, and the whole world turned from color to grayscale, except for Fang Mo, who retained his original colors, while his sister in his arms became motionless.
"Hm?"
Seeing this bizarre scene, Fang Mo frowned.
However, in the next second, billions of dazzling lights flickered in front of him, followed by a multitude of orbs that materialized out of nowhere, assembling into the form of Yog-Sothoth.
"Yog?"
Seeing the figure, Fang Mo was a bit surprised but immediately asked, "Did you do this? Is this dream real or fake?"
"This is real."
From within the dazzling orbs, a voice devoid of warmth responded, "I do not mean to intrude on your dreamscape, but there is something that Nyarlathotep asked me to remind you."
"Nyarlathotep? What is it?"
Fang Mo inquired.
...
Then the voice of Nyarlathotep came from within the orbs.
"Friend, first I must congratulate you on finding what you were looking for."
Nya's voice slowly emerged from within: "But I must remind you of one thing. I have already confirmed that your dreams are connected to a world that is extremely distant and fragile. That world is so fragile that if you attempt to teleport there directly, it might lead to some less than ideal consequences."
"...What?"
Fang Mo was also stunned upon hearing this.
"It's actually quite normal for this to happen. After all, not every world has the same level of robustness."
Nyarlathotep's tone was quite natural: "We are the great wills that dwell above the stars, our existence even transcends reality. If we were to forcefully descend into a fragile world, it would bring about immense karmic retribution. There's no helping it."
"I have already observed this world. There are no extraordinary miracles here."
Nyarlathotep continued: "If you forcefully descend, it wouldn't destroy the entire universe, but as you open a portal, more things that don't belong to this universe will enter it. It seems like you care about that world, so I thought to remind you."
"Are you saying... I can't go back?"
Hearing this, Fang Mo began to grasp the situation, feeling somewhat irritated: "Isn't there any other solution?"
"You don't have to be so anxious."
Nyarlathotep's voice continuously emerged from the bubbles: "Since you have found the coordinates of this world, you will eventually find a way back. I'm just saying this world is too fragile to bear most of the energy and matter we transmit, but there is still a way."
"What way?" Fang Mo asked.
"Although this world cannot bear most of the energy and matter we transmit, it can still transmit information."
Nyarlathotep suggested: "Just like you are doing now, you can completely use your dreams to connect to everything in that world, control everything there in your dreams, and there will always be people willing to become your followers in their dreams. Then you can take over their minds, turning them into your avatar walking in another world."
"So, you mean... possession?"
Fang Mo was not foolish and immediately understood Nyarlathotep's idea.
Of course, this was indeed a method. If he couldn't physically travel there, then taking over a body seemed feasible. He could just say it was a form of possession...
"Alright, I have said everything I needed to."
Seeing that Fang Mo understood, Nyarlathotep also let out a laugh: "Well, I won't disturb you any longer, I'm leaving now."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The bubble flickering in mid-air dimmed.
Clearly, Nyarlathotep had left, but Yog-Sothoth didn't seem to like causing trouble, at least not interested in Fang Mo at this moment, and without saying anything further, it just vanished into this dreamscape.
And after Yog-Sothoth disappeared.
The previously frozen gray and white dreamscape once again came to life.
"Brother?"
Fang Xin, who hadn't noticed anything, immediately looked excitedly at Fang Mo upon returning to normal: "You can come back now, right?"
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Fang Mo hesitated for a moment.
If it had been just a moment ago, he might have readily agreed, but after Nyarlathotep's reminder, Fang Mo realized he was still a bit away from truly going home.
"Not quite yet."
After thinking, Fang Mo honestly responded.
"...Why?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xin's eyes immediately reddened. After what had just happened, she had completely opened up her heart, and now, bursting into tears, she directly hugged Fang Mo: "Brother, I was wrong, I won't eat ice cream anymore, it's all my fault, please, come back, brother!"
"No, wait..."
Seeing this, Fang Mo immediately tried to console her: "Xinxin, listen to me, your brother isn't unable to return, it's just that there are some prerequisites, understand?"
"I don't care about the conditions..."
Fang Xin cried pitifully: "I don't care... I want my brother to come back!"
"Your brother is now..."
This sister's crying made Fang Mo somewhat unable to cope, anxiously scratching his head, then suddenly brightening up: "Ah, right, I know! Xinxin, don't be afraid, your brother... is actually about to become immortal!"
"...Ah?"
Hearing Fang Mo's seemingly nonsensical statement, it was Fang Xin's turn to be dumbfounded, staring at Fang Mo with wide eyes, completely puzzled.
