Chapter 195 What did you dream about just now, and why did you weep?
It now seems that the gashapon machine ability I possessed did not originate from the time my family's toy store exploded, causing me to die and travel to the wasteland ten years later.
Instead, it has existed ever since the white "ghost" saved him from drowning in the river when he was a child.
After the old Taoist priest resolved the 'cause and effect', Li Can lived a peaceful and ordinary life, without ever encountering a 'near-death moment'.
Until he traveled through time and hung himself on a high-rise building, facing wave after wave of zombies, the concept of 'near-death value' was re-established...
No, that's not right.
In his dream, Li Can's thoughts were in turmoil, and he tried to clear his head.
The restart time should be earlier.
If everything is related to triggering the 'near-death value,' then the earliest instance would be an explosion in one's own toy store...
At that time, the gashapon machine had already saved my life.
So, when he later met his sister Li Lan in the [Mysterious City] dungeon, she said that there was no trace of his body at the scene, nothing at all, as if he had vanished into thin air.
That makes sense.
Explosion, near-death experience, gashapon machine, time travel...
Only by integrating things according to these steps can we see the true nature of everything.
However, two key figures emerged: one was the "white ghost" he had talked about as a child, and the other was the "white-haired old Taoist priest."
Li Can felt increasingly tightness in her chest, and she couldn't breathe.
It's like a mountain pressing down on it.
Regardless of the circumstances, for that old Taoist priest to demand 600,000 and take him away in that era was truly...
As a result, Grandpa severed ties with Li Can's parents and has not contacted them for more than ten years.
After he was "cured", he never heard anything about his grandfather at home again.
What saddened Li Can the most was that she was an abandoned baby.
His current parents are only his adoptive parents, and his sister is not a blood relative of his.
His actual parents abandoned him.
His adoptive parents treated him like their own son, even severing ties with his grandfather to save him by offering 600,000 yuan.
Li Can's nose tingled, and the heavy feeling in her chest grew stronger.
In his dream, he was a child standing in the courtyard watching his family members bustling about, when suddenly he burst into tears without any warning.
She burst into tears, making no attempt to hide it.
The mother walked over quickly, wiped her hands on her apron, and hurriedly hugged Xiao Li Can.
"Xiao Can, why are you suddenly crying? Are you feeling unwell?"
Dad, holding my younger sister's hand, also jogged over.
"Son, crying isn't something a little man should do. Look at the little sugar figurine your dad and sister bought for you, isn't it cute? After you finish your medicine, you can eat this and it won't be bitter."
The voice of the person in the dream grew more and more distant, and gradually became inaudible.
……
The suffocating pain that had been pressing on Li Can's heart lingered for a long time.
"Human, why are you crying?" another voice asked from above.
Li Can suddenly opened his eyes, and the pillar of light above the sky had already dissipated.
He remained in the same dozing posture, lying on the chair.
The tears in the corners of my eyes are still there.
Not only was he crying in his dream, but he was also crying in his dream in reality.
"No." He wiped his face, removing his tears, and his expression returned to its usual calm.
He looked up and saw that where the garbled cloud should have been, a pure white cloud was now floating.
Standing in the sunlight, its shape constantly changes as the light penetrates and refracts.
Li Can looked at it; sometimes it looked like a normal white cloud, and sometimes it looked like a young man dressed as a scholar in a white ancient robe.
"Have you cleared the gibberish off your body?" He felt somewhat unfamiliar with the current gibberish cloud.
He was more familiar with the same old Dianyun, whose body was covered in a constant stream of random codes ever since he transmigrated.
He tentatively asked, "So you've successfully detoxified?"
The white-robed scholar, appearing amidst the shifting white clouds, nodded.
Li Can quickly got up and put the recliner back into the gashapon shell.
A person and a cloud stood facing each other.
"Let's leave it at that for now..."
"I still have residual poison in my body, but now that I am awake, I can remove the remaining poison myself, and it will be completely eliminated in a few days."
"What did you dream about just now, and why are you weeping?"
Li Can carefully considered his words.
"you mean……"
"Although there are still some residual toxins in your body, you are now able to remain conscious and clear them away through your own cultivation."
"Give you a little more time, and you'll be fully recovered?"
"So, if I get another copy of the orb later, can I use it myself?"
This was great news for him; the garbled cloud could finally be self-sufficient, no longer needing to support two things at once and constantly be on guard against it going crazy.
Judging from its current state, although it cannot maintain its human form yet and still shifts between cloud and human forms, it should be able to do so soon after it gains the ability to cultivate independently...
Li Can circled around it, carefully examining its current appearance, and couldn't help but marvel at it.
"Indeed, but you have not yet spoken. Why are you weeping?"
Li Can's face darkened slightly. "It's nothing, just a dream about something from my childhood."
"By the way, can't you speak plainly? Why do you insist on talking to me in classical Chinese? Does it make you seem more cultured?"
Although Li Can could understand the general meaning, communication was still somewhat difficult.
Yun Ming was clearly faking it; Li Can clearly heard him ask her in plain language, "Why are you crying?" while she was half-asleep.
Don't say he can only speak in plain language when he's poisoned; he clearly doesn't know when he's awake while he's asleep.
Now they're openly putting on an act with him.
"How did you know that's what I was thinking?" Luanma Cloud looked very surprised.
Li Can was speechless. He had just made a casual remark, but it turned out to be exactly what he wanted to hear, and it turned out to be the correct answer.
"Since you've already figured it out, I'll communicate with you in a way that's familiar to your era."
"By the way, I was only able to keep a sliver of consciousness before, so there were many things I didn't explain to you when you first arrived. It was rather rushed, which was really impolite."
"Now let me formally introduce myself to you."
"I am the Blue Star, and the Blue Star is me."
"It can also be explained as: I am a spirit who attained enlightenment through cultivation on Earth."
"My lifespan far surpasses that of all living beings. I have been with humanity since the beginning of time, from the earliest days of civilization until now."
"I...I..."
"Sorry, my language system is a bit disorganized, and sometimes it's hard to switch between languages..."
"Anyway, you can call me Ayun."
"Before I was poisoned, I really enjoyed transforming into a cloud and wandering the world."
Sometimes, it will transform into a different form and go for a stroll in the mortal realm.
Li Can pondered his words, which were largely consistent with her previous guesses about his identity.
Hearing him say it himself now, I'm not too surprised.
However, as he looked at A-Yun's fluttering white-robed ancient scholar image, he gradually lost his mind, as if it matched the white "ghost" he had encountered in his childhood.
They look so alike.
"Um, Ayun," Li Can asked cautiously and earnestly, "Have you ever saved a child from the river?"
