Before Master Wu could respond, Huo Mian said, “Can I replace him? I want to replace him. Let him come out and I’ll go in, okay?”
Master Wu shook his head. “I understand how you guys feel. Su Yu is my disciple, and he’s the only disciple I’ve ever taken in my entire life. Of course, I don’t want anything to happen to him, but there’s really nothing I can do about it… When Su Yu entered the dream for the second time, I told him, “There are only two outcomes for you this time. First, the dream creators will kill you and your people. Second, you guys will successfully kill the dream creators. Your friends will all come back, but you will stay in the dream forever.”
No one said anything. They just listened quietly.
Master Wu continued, “I emphasized the pros and cons of this many times, but Su Yu still chose to do this. It’s obvious that you guys are more important to him than himself, so… please respect his choice.”
“Master Wu, what will happen to Su Yu in the dream? Will he be in danger? What will he encounter? How will he live in the dream alone?” Jiang Xiaowei was indeed a doctor in psychology, and the questions she thought of were all questions that no one could think of.
She had already accepted the fact that Su Yu had stayed behind in the dream.
However, she wanted to know what Su Yu will be like in the dream after everyone left. What would he encounter? Would he be in danger?
Sure enough, after Jiang Xiaowei asked, everyone looked at Master Wu expectantly.
It seemed like everyone wanted to know what Su Yu would experience in the dream.
Master Wu sighed. “I’ve never experienced anything like this before, so I don’t dare to think too much about it. However, according to my personal analysis, since the dream creators are dead, he’s not in any danger. However, you guys are gone too… He’s probably alone in the dream. No matter what he’s going to experience, he will always be alone. The dream creators are dead, so everything that was created by the dream creators would collapse. Su Yu is the only real person left in the incubus, so he’s probably the only one left. What’s scary now isn’t whether he’s in danger in the dream, but the endless loneliness.”
After Master Wu said that, everyone understood what he meant.
In the dream, Su Yu would not age or die. There was no danger, and he didn’t need to eat or drink.
However, he would always be alone and would have no concept of time.
Just thinking about it made one despair…
There was a saying from somewhere before that the scariest thing in this world was not death, not separation from life, but eternal loneliness.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Su burst into tears.
“Yu, you silly child… What am I supposed to do if you do this? My heart hurts… Let me go in and keep you company, my child.”
Mrs. Su cried her eyes out…
Especially when she saw everyone return safely and only Su Yu was still asleep.
“Master Wu, how should we settle him down now?”
Lu Yan remained calm.
Su Yu was already like this, and his soul seemed to be trapped in the dream, unable to return.
Only a body remained in the real world as if it had fallen asleep.
To put it nicely, he was asleep.
To put it bluntly, he was in a vegetative state.
Master Wu looked at the asleep Su Yu and felt extremely depressed.
“He might continue to sleep like this without aging and dying… but he will never wake up.”
“Should we send him to the hospital? Should we put him on nutritional fluids?” Lu Yan asked.
“No, he doesn’t need anything. He just needs to lie here quietly.”
“What if Su Yu’s body in the real world died? What would happen in the dream?” Lu Yan asked all the unexpected questions.
Master Wu looked at Lu Yan with a complicated expression.
