Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

The Dominator Clock, whose true identity is the "symbol" of the real world.

To put it another way, which is not rigorous - the clock here is one with the real world, and they live and die together. In any case, at least in my opinion, it would be an understatement to say so.

I really didn't expect such a secret to be hidden behind the dream world, and I couldn't predict how many equally shocking things are waiting for me in the future... Maybe I have already noticed it, but I have been consciously avoiding autonomous thinking all the time .

Facing William's words, I stepped back helplessly, and slumped down on the chair behind me weakly. There was a sharp sound as the chair legs rubbed against the ground, and the smell of smoke mixed with the smell of alcohol permeated between us.

Vaguely, a pair of mournful eyes stared at me. I also looked back at the past, showing a mocking smile, I couldn't understand what Xia Yinci was thinking, the only thing I understood in my heart was...

——It’s the same this time, you once again hid it from me.

"If Su Luoyang doesn't participate, then it doesn't make sense for me to participate either."

Xia Yinci lowered her head, and the lowered eyelids made it difficult for me to see what kind of eyes she was looking at when she said this. In a daze, I wanted to ask the meaning of Xia Yinci's words, but no matter how much I looked at her, I got a silent answer. He simply tried his best to think about what she meant, but the answer he got was completely denied by him, and he felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body.

"If I participate, you will participate...Why? Why are you? Why are you saying that now? If you don't make it clear, I don't understand at all!"

I couldn't help but let out the wailing of a loser, and the more exaggerated noise came from around me, which made my wailing even more like a powerless struggle.

People cannot always understand each other. Even though I understand this in my heart, I am not willing to let the misunderstanding deepen. However, if you don't tell me anything all the time, you can only let the misunderstanding deepen, right?

In a daze, with the general paralysis of giving up cognition and thinking, my eyes were suddenly covered with a blurred filter. The expression on Xia Yinci's raised face also swayed, becoming blurred and unrecognizable.

Ahh, it's your iconic, sad wry smile again. I blinked my eyes, vaguely so determined.

"Hey. So far, are you planning to quit?"

Suddenly, a pleasant and familiar voice came to my ears.

The timbre is so clear, but it makes me feel irritable. The speaker murmured softly far away, yet seemed to be close to me. She was so unreal that my heart fluttered a little.

The tinnitus that stings the eardrum cuts through the surrounding noise. I stretched out my hand in confusion, trying to wake myself up, only to find that everything had stopped in this silent surrounding.

In addition to Xia Yinci's wry smile, William, Elus... other people's eyes are also focused on me. Elus was eagerly waiting for my answer, and the black cat raised the corners of its mouth jokingly, showing an attitude that no matter what the answer was, it had nothing to do with me. The waitress in nightgown-like attire approached the next table, but someone tripped her, and the wine glass on the plate fell down, and the liquid stayed in mid-air, not up or down.

In this static world, apart from me and the girl, there is only time extending toward infinity. This extra sense of unreality makes me have an ethereal feeling that it will be a long time to reply to them. This illusion made me feel less nervous about the choice. The stone that was pressing on the heart also hung up. But it also gave rise to a wave of unsteady apprehension.

I turn my eyes slightly. The quiet eyes of the girl in the dark coffee sweater are watching me quietly, as if as long as I don't answer, she will stand here at the end of the world. The indifference in her eyes has not diminished, and she is still so inaccessible.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for a while, the silver hair seemed to be much longer than when they met last time. The naturally scattered silver hair came out from under the sweater behind him, revealing the ends of the hair tied with a bow. Like a tail, it ripples with her every move.

"Qian... Yan, is it?"

I didn't have the confidence to call out her name, but she didn't seem so disgusted, but she didn't mean to answer me either. I can only feel that time is passing by for me, and I am being watched coldly by her.

The tense nerves relaxed again, and his head immediately dropped.

"Hey, what do you think? Should I quit...or do you want me to stay here too?"

As soon as I asked, the corners of my mouth slightly curled up with a hint of sarcasm.

Haha, no matter how irrational you are, you should have a basic degree. I would be so stupid as to ask such a question to the high-ranking Qianyan. How could she, who considers herself a bystander, give me any answer.

Recalling the past, I seem to have been in a passive state.

I think that if I don’t show my seriousness, people will not bother me because they feel that I am unreliable, but in fact, people in the world always have their own misunderstandings, and I will definitely accept them as the basis.

Counting with fingers, besides Xia Yinci and Su Huilin, it seems that only Xiao Luoluo saw my seriousness.

Even though the disguise was easily seen through by her, she felt inexplicably uneasy...but it was undeniable that there was a faint joy in her heart.

There was a faint sound in my ears, I raised my head numbly, and leaned against the wall in a thousand-faced boredom. On the mural hanging on the wall panel is a giant dragon covered with grass-green scales, and many soldiers with heavy armor on their shoulders stand up to fight with unbearable iron swords. I turned my eyes back to Qianyan, she was silent, and only gave me her answer with a disgusted look - that is "deciding on my own affairs".

Sure enough, I didn't expect it. In essence, what is the difference between Qianyan and Xia Yinci... They never give me a positive answer.

"Since you are not interested in my decision... why are you here? Are you trying to laugh at me?"

I don't know if it's because of my low self-esteem, or because of my aggressive questioning attitude, she twitched the corners of her mouth slightly dissatisfied, stretched out her right hand, which was covered by the long sleeve and only showed slender fingers, and walked around her front to hold her. left arm.

"I'm not bored enough to watch your excitement. It's your own will to stop time. I'm just your dream maker."

I raised my eyebrows. Her words gave me a mocking sense of difference. She has always assumed a condescending attitude, dominating the sovereignty of my dream world, but she calls herself a dream maker.

On the other hand, the dreamers of other rulers all make me feel that they are the one being dominated.

"By the way, when the so-called utopian clock appeared, you, Qianyan, appeared by my side too... Hey, does it mean that you, the dream maker, are always by my side? It's just that in this When will I see you?"

"I don't know." Qian Yan staggered my gaze. It's not the kind of timidity that doesn't dare to tell the truth, but the lazy answer to my perfunctory, "How on earth did you decide? I'm not so bored that I keep watching you hesitate."

"Then you don't have to stay here."

"You don't need to say. I would have left long ago if I could." Qian Yan glanced at me angrily. I don't know why that cold gaze fell on me, and my heartbeat would be accelerated by it.

"Oh? So there are things you can't do? I thought you were omnipotent."

"..." Qianyan didn't seem to want to talk to me anymore. The bubble gum in her mouth "popped", she folded her arms, and the cold light in the eyes under the hood moved.

"If I withdraw from the domination war, I should return to my original life, and it will be as if nothing happened between Xia Yinci and Xia Yinci. The adventures of these few days will disappear in my memory like a dream." Said. I shook my head, "No... it is also possible that the state of lucid dreaming is still preserved. From now on, whenever I dream, I will appear as the creator god of my own dream world, but it will be restricted by you Qianyan , can’t go to the Dream Palace?”

While imagining the future, I said this to Qianyan. Although it's like talking to yourself. I thought about how I would respond. In just a few seconds, I wanted to escape here several times, simply avoiding this problem.

"...The rules of the dream maniac must be destroyed."

Suddenly, a voice flowed from the ear, but directly hit the heart. The heartbeat missed a beat. I suddenly widened my eyes and looked back at the speaker.

Qianyan opened her red lips lightly, seemingly unintentionally, and the blown bubbles burst again and made a sound in the silence.

"If I remember correctly, you said it yourself."

I lost my voice, unable to refute anything, not even respond to her words. Qianyan's eyes moved from the front to the lower right corner, and her gaze stayed on me.

"I will continue to dream with you. Hmm. That seems to be what you said too."

For a while, I seemed to have found an answer that seemed to be the answer, "If Su Luoyang participates, I will participate. If he does not participate, then there is no point for me to participate." The answer to why she said this sentence, Isn't it because of a promise I made myself? I haven't had time to think it over clearly, and I haven't thanked Qianyan for her unintentional reminder. In the midst of hesitation, I saw the corner of Qianyan's mouth curled up first. I desperately wanted to see if I was wrong, but everything around me started to go into motion first.

Then, her voice also disappeared in the field of vision that circulated again. Everything is like a dream, but on second thought - all this happened in the dream.

The noise hit his ears again, and his unwavering gaze flickered again. Xia Yinci's pupils seemed to be filled with expectations placed on me, as well as a trace of deliberately hidden worries.

I looked away, and the sound of the wine glass falling to the ground followed the passage of time. The bubbling liquid spread over, and the waitress in the red dress lowered her head to clean it up. The guests at the other table were raising their wine glasses high, and they bumped the glasses together with a cheer. The water droplets from the wine in the glasses scattered in the air, dancing, dissipating, and falling crystal clear under the light. I seem to have seen a similar scene when I went to the tavern to find my father.

"How much longer do you have to think~"

Elus finally couldn't bear her temper, she puffed her cheeks and tapped her staff vigorously, breaking the silence at our table first. Obviously I was the one who was forced to ask the answer, but why is Elus showing a face full of grievances.

"If you can't make up your mind, you can ask me~ Anyway, the contract between you and me is still established, so you can ask me if you don't understand anything!"

"Little cutie, how are you going to decide?"

In this way, the black cat followed closely behind, and those eyes that were always tempting to bend into a crescent moon seemed to lock me.

"It's quite popular...Although it's not your class teacher, but as a teacher, I recommend you to make up your own mind." Lin Yu put on the tone of an adult facing a child, which unexpectedly made people feel a little funny.

"Well, although I hate Lin Yu, I'm not wrong... The decision is indeed up to you." The white cat said with a hearty smile. However, the damaged attire on his body can't help but make people feel a little bit fanciful.

"Let's decide~ I invited you to join me, and I will leave it to you to not quit~" Xia Yinci smiled forcefully, and the sadness in her eyes made her feel a little distressed.

"Even though I know that you don't know much about the world of dreams, I'm still very angry. Now, do you think I'm just so unbearable in your eyes?"

Xia Yinci, it seems that you have never been what I imagined... Of course, you will not be what I expected.

"I'm sorry, but you haven't forgiven me yet, but I'm even more angry than you."

A genius girl of the free department. Everything you decide may come from your own will. However, probably because of this, you can always surprise me.

"Whether this is an observer's game, a ruler's war, or this is just a real dream, you are not kidding, so I will continue to dream with you."

Therefore, I made such a promise, not only with the expectation of being able to figure out what happened at that time, but I also want to accompany you to continue dreaming.

"If Su Luoyang participates, I will participate. If he does not participate, then there is no point for me to participate."

Perhaps this sentence has been your answer all along. You take it as the answer to everything, so this is the only answer you will never hide.

"...I, I probably found it." I choked up for some reason, my eyes flickered, and I tried my best to focus on Xia Yinci. She also looked at me with such sad eyes, which made me dare not Continuing to look directly into those eyes, he could only turn to look at William, "I must have found the reason why I must participate in the domination war."

At some point, Su Erin, who was leaning lazily on my shoulder with squinted eyes, glanced at me with a faint smile.

Probably she also knew that she couldn't speak, so she simply didn't open her mouth.

"I... will stay."

As soon as I finished speaking, I set my sights on Xia Yinci, who was also looking at me with a bewildered look. After a long time, as if all sleeping things were revived again, a smile appeared on her face, and the sadness in her pupils gradually faded away.

The depression that had been accumulating in my chest finally dissipated like a broken dark cloud.
