Chapter 859: Lucid Dream

If Jon knew what was going on, it meant he was having a lucid dream.

In most cases, dreamers could control such dreams to a certain extent such as turning themselves into supermen.

But for now, Angor didnt see any traces of such manipulation yet. Actively changing the course of a dream would easily cause it to become unreasonable, illogical, and more obvious than common dreams. And of course, the drastic changes all tended to be in the dreamers favor.

Jon had spent a long time talking to his neighbors and watching his wife, while everything he interacted with was fluent. This dream was almost a perfect recreation of Jons old memories, which was a rare case for lucid dreamers.

A small girl with a double-bun hairstyle, pink princess skirt, and a large school backpack rushed into Angors view and crashed into Jons legs.

Angor looked more closely and saw the girl resembled the woman above in many ways.

The girl was running too fast, so the accident knocked her to the ground. She looked about to cry, like any other kids who painfully fell on their b.u.t.ts.

Hey, Muey, Jon called her name.

The girl looked up and perked up in a second. Daddys back!

She jumped back up and hugged Jons legs without minding all the dirt and wrinkles on her clothes.

Dont do that again, alright? Jon put a hand on her head. Thank goodness Im not a lamp pole.

The woman in the stilt house also came to them with a bright smile, and the three of them went into the house together.

Inside the cozy house, Jon spent a peaceful moment exchanging lovers talks with his wife while their daughter napped quietly in Jons arms.

Angor also enjoyed the serene sight that seemed to be the best dream possible for Jon.

By listening to their conversation, Angor learned that Jons wife was Shan Harvey, while their daughters name was Shan Muey.

Harvey was a full-time housewife who fully devoted herself to looking after their home. Muey was now second-year at her primary school, which was only a street away from their house, so Muey usually headed there by herself.

The blissful family moment continued on for a long time.

Our recent subject is done, Jon said during dinner, I can remain home for a month from now on.

Both Harvey and Muey seemed glad to hear this. Apparently, they didnt get to unite much due to Jons profession.

However, what Jon said next troubled everyone.

As I told you last time, the coming project is supposed to be a teamwork between different nations. To watch over the test subjects provided by China, I need to join the labs in New York.

Youre going abroad next time? Harvey dropped her chopsticks.

Jons current workplace was still within their city, which meant it was convenient for them to see each other as long as Jon found a few days to rest. But if they were to get separated across the ocean

Its written in the plan. The project is too important to give up now. It will probably take me several years. I asked the HQ whether I could take you with me.

What did they tell you?

Its approved. Jon nodded.

Harvey didnt seem happy about having to move to the USA all of a sudden because there were so many problems to settle, such as loss of friends, financial concerns, and the education of Muey.

Jon patiently waited for Harveys decision while looking at her pa.s.sionately as if he were trying to imprint her looks into his mind while he still had time.

Angor was now certain that this was a lucid dream. The great sadness in Jons eyes only belonged to someone who was away from his family for decades, not mere months.

Seeing his wife still weighing her choices, Jon decided to persuade her. Please, come with me. Apart from staying together, I would like to introduce you to my favorite student as well.

Harvey made up her mind and agreed, at which point, the dream suddenly shattered to fragments that swirled around Jons body.

The mirror-like shards showed Angor lots of different and amazing sights, which seemed to be more of Jons memories, such as metal cars flying in the sky, large traffic tunnels built under the ocean, more family moments with Harvey and Muey, academic conferences joined by professionals in doctor uniforms All these fragments had Jon as the main narrator, who slowly turned from a young a.s.sistant to an experienced senior scientist.

Angor found himself floating in a brand new environment after the last fragment went away. It was a laboratory room fully enclosed by metal walls. He looked around and quickly felt dazed when seeing all sorts of hi-tech equipment and screens showing something he couldnt recognize.

He saw many doc.u.mentary movies related to such things before, but he never saw the inside of such a leading-edge lab so up close.

Jon was sitting in front of a gla.s.s container while writing on something. There was a strange plant inside the container. The plant was receiving some kind of spray coming from an irrigation device nearby.

Another researcher in a white robe suddenly appeared next to Jon. Your team is up next, Jon. Wait, where are the rest of you?

They went to another department on call. Ma.s.s deaths have been recorded for Specimen P. Jon sighed. Im afraid Im on my own today.

I see. Take Specimen R with you then. Number 7 to 13. Thirty minutes will do. The Alien Eye has remained inactive these days, so we dont need to prolong the observations.

Jon watched his co-worker leave the room and remained still for a moment.

Angor had no idea what was going on until he saw Jon take out five gla.s.s incubators, one of which contained something he recognized.

It was the Morning Dew.

Angor heard about the incident that brought Jon to the Old Earth. It was when Jon experienced an unexpected disaster caused by the Alien Eye while working on Morning Dew.

When an unknown force dragged Jon to a foreign world, he carried both the Alien Eye and Morning Dew with him.

But

The Dream Weavers supposed to give Jon a sweet dream. Why is Jon dreaming about the day of the disaster?

This was the biggest nightmare in Jons life!

As Angor looked in confusion, Jon was beginning to tremble badly as if he was afraid of something.

Jon knows whats going to happen

Angor was hoping that this was a lucid dream because it could make it easier for him to directly talk to Jon, should he successfully learn subsequent arts.

The door of the lab room was suddenly pushed open, and another researcher went inside.

We confirmed, Jon. The decay is caused by the Alien Eyewhats going on? Not feeling well?

Its nothing. Maybe I caught a cold last night. Jon hid his true condition.

Should I handle the job this time? The researcher moved to take Jons containers, but Jon quickly rejected the offer.

Im fine. Tell our men to concentrate on their end. Ill handle our schedule.

Jons strange att.i.tude had further confirmed it for Angor that Jon was purposely proceeding with the dream in a certain way. This didnt seem like the work of the Dream Weaver. Rather, it was probably Jon himself who set up the plot.

But why would he do such a thing?
