Chapter 1361: The Ruler of the World
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Since another elf was involved, everyone knew of the urgency and seriousness of the issue at hand.
Nobody knew what kind of elf is was or what kind of abilities it had. All they knew was that it could quietly cross the physical barrier and cause people to fall asleep. This was the time when everyone needed to work together, but now Famous abruptly said that he wanted to go to bed…
This… this was unreasonable!
Had the rest not known that Famous’s concern for Zhang Zian wouldn’t affect one of the elves, they might’ve started to fight over it.
However, everyone needed him to give a reasonable explanation.
Famous also knew that it wasn’t a good time to be sleeping. He could only vaguely explain, “There is an elf who may know the clue. I don’t know the specifics, sot I have to go to my imagined world and ask them.”
Everyone believed that Famous wouldn’t lie, but everyone knew that there were only two elves in Famous’s Imaginary World: Old Time Tea and Xinghai. Whom was he referring to?
Famous glanced at Xinghai and said, ” Please look after Zhang Zian for now. I’m going to sleep.”
His tone suggested that he wasn’t asking, but rather demanding. He had made up its mind even if the other elves opposed it. He needed to sleep so he could be closer to the truth.
Everyone saw that his will was unshakeable and thus said no more.
However, the problem was that Famous never tried to sleep over a short period of time. Besides, in such a stressful situation, he couldn’t sleep!
Upset, Famous tried to lie down, first on his side, then looking up at the ceiling. He tried all the possible postures so many times, yet he still couldn’t fall asleep. The more he couldn’t sleep, the more anxious he became. The more anxious he was, the less sleepy he felt. It was a vicious cycle that insomniacs constantly experience; it was quite painful.
“If we’re too loud, do you want to sleep in another bedroom or the storage room?” Vladimir asked, meaning well.
Famous shook his head. If he left his familiar sleeping place, he might’ve not been able to sleep at all.
Just as his anxiety grew as if he were an ant on a hot pot, he suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ear.
“Forgive me, for I have sinned…”
With a sudden shake, his neck was poked numerous times without giving him a chance to react. Back and forth, back and forth… The blood supply to the brain seemed to have been briefly interrupted each time.
He saw black in front of his eyes as his consciousness quickly dissipated. He lost control of his body and went limp. His final thought before then was, “What the hell?! Old Time Tea, you’re so cruel!”
With that, he fell asleep.
…
Famous sat up, enraged.
He was no longer on the second floor of the pet shop he knew of, but in a quiet woodland.
The younger version of Old Time Tea stood in front of it and asked with a stern look, “Brother Famous, what is the meaning of this?”
“Forget it, it’s nothing,” Famous said.
He turned around and saw Xinghai, who looked suspicious.
Xinghai had an unexpected expression.
Famous took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “I know that you have an urgent matter to attend to and must leave. I don’t want to stop you, but I hope you can explain it not only to me but to the other elves that are waiting. Do you understand?”
Famous had many questions. Besides wanting to ask about what happened to Zhang Zian earlier, he also wanted to know what Xinghai meant before when he said, “Famous, you are the one that created me.”
Xinghai nodded. “Meow… Xinghai will wait here for you to return.”
“Brother Famous…”
Only Old Time Tea knew nothing about the current situation, much like Shihua in the real world. However, this Old Time Tea was cultured and wouldn’t yell like she would.
Famous explained about the situation to Old Time Tea in detail; since the flow of time between the Imaginary World and the real world was different, it didn’t make much sense to try to save himself time here. It is better to let Old Time Tea in on the situation. Perhaps he could come up with some useful suggestions and help him out a little.
“Oh… so it’s still going on…” Old Time Tea was shocked after hearing what Famous shared.
Famous looked at Xinghai again. “That is all I know. Xinghai over there should tell you the rest.”
Xinghai looked up as if staring at something in the distance.
“Hey~ Famous, do you remember when I first appeared here?”
Famous certainly remembered. How could he have forgotten?
He used to choose to forget everything because it was too painful except for this one thing. He would rather bear the pain it brought him and thus continued to remember it.
That night in Berlin…
It was the most glorious moment of his life. For the first time, he stood on the highest podium of the festival using its own name. He enjoyed the spotlight, listening to his name resounding throughout the world and listening to Zhang Zian speaking on his behalf, of what he wants to do the most: to donate the earnings made from the movie to benefit the hungry children in Africa.
It was precisely on that night that he became close to Zhang Zian.
It was also on that night that Xinghai appeared in his Imaginary World and joined him and Old Time Tea on their journey towards Binhai town.
“Meow… Famous, do you think your ‘crisis predictor’ can only predict a crisis a few seconds before it happens?” Xinghai smiled. “You are wrong! At that moment, when you truly trusted Zhang Zian, you were also subconsciously worried about his safety. Unlike the simple-minded Xinghai in the real world, you thought more about the future. You knew that no matter how strong Xinghai, Fina and Old Time Tea were, they can’t fight an enemy that attacks from dreams. Thus, you created me in your Imaginary World!”
“I am Xinghai, but not Xinghai… I am born your subconscious, based on your hopes, enhancement, and support of Xinghai~”
Famous was stunned as his brain was filled with this series of shocking facts. He needed a moment to process it all.
“You… are you kidding me?”
Xinghai spread his arms as if embracing the whole world.
“Hey… Famous, why are you so surprised? Although this world is based on one of Old Time Tea’s memories; this is a world you created! You are the creator of this world! You are the ruler of this world! ”
“So, Famous, please don’t get cocky,” Xinghai stared deeply into Famous’s eyes. “You can do all this on your own, but you lack self-confidence and admire Xinghai so much that you created me to do it for you…”
Famous has always had this kind of attitude in this world, much like in the real world. He disliked the limelight, especially whenever he was in the presence of many powerful partners. He didn’t mind giving them the flowers and applause instead.
That was unless he was the protagonist of his own movie.
Xinghai put down one of his front paws and waved with the other. “Meow… Before you go, Xinghai wants to say something to you; your heart will be as generous and open as the world!”
