When the sun finally set, Lin Ye suddenly realizes something, he had been in the holy temple for almost an entire day now.
During the chat with Messiah, he had completely forgotten the passing of time, until the last ray of sunlight in the sky reminded him that the day about to end.
"Uh, should I leave?" Lin Ye says, "It's getting late."
Messiah smiles "Okay. You'll come back tomorrow then?
"Tomorrow?"
"Don't you want to come?" Messiah's smile tinged with sadness.
Lin Ye feels a little weird. After all, he was being pulled by a God to chat with. The God of Karlan is stuck on the top of the mountain, and the experience of staying there was an unusual experience. However, Lin Ye also had to admit that chatting with Messiah was still calming.
Obviously, he just met her today, but he felt like they had known each other for a long time.
Besides the fact that he finds her company comforting, she was the one who invited him.
He smiles at her.
"I will come back tomorrow." Lin Ye stands up from the floor, then suddenly thought of something and decided to ask Messiah, "By the way, there is something I want to ask you. It's-."
"About how I got into your dreams?'
"...Are you sure you don't have mind-reading skills?"
"No, I don't. Don't be silly." Messiah squints and smiles, "I knew this question would come up eventually"
"I originally thought you would ask earlier, but I didn't expect it to be delayed until now."
"... Because I forgot."
What have we talked about? Tsk, I can't remember anymore, it seems to be all small and odd things, only when I am about to leave, I think of something important.
"Do you have the ability to enter dreams?" Lin Ye asks. Messiah drinks from her teacup. Then she slowly says "A little privilege of being a god."
"But I have similar abilities."
"Wow, that's amazing."
That's sound so fake
Messiah smiles as she looks at his face "It's just a joke, but I already know about your ability, it is really amazing."
"But why do I have such ability? Many people have told me, that it isn't possible for me to have such ability, because I'm only a human."
Messiah nods "I understand, it seems you didn't treat me like a human being."
"... I didn't mean that, but you are a god." Lin Ye says, "but I'm not a god. How can I have such an ability?"
Messiah glances at Lin Ye and says, "Do you know what you are?"
"Of course, I know that. I-" Lin Ye is stunned.
Wait! My ability is unique. Whether it is Kal'sit or Amiya, they have never heard of any race possessing such ability. But Messiah has the same ability. Other races do not have this. I have it. Messiah has it. I and Messiah are not other races. So that means...Lin Ye suddenly felt uneasy.
He asks, "Am I also a god?"
"No, you are not." Messiah seems to pour cold water on top of him," There is no such weak god such as you..."
He sighs in relief.
"Hm? Does the idea of becoming a god seem undesirable to you?" Messiah asks speculatively
"Don't get me wrong. Being a God sounds great. Having absolute power and all that. However, that's too much responsibility for me to carry on my shoulders."
He sighs and looks at the mountain.
"I like being a normal person. But that doesn't mean I don't like you. In fact, I find your presence is very relaxing." He turns back to look at her.
"Is that so? I'm glad that think so. I also like your company very much." Messiah and Lin Ye snickered with each other.
Then Messiah continues their discussion "Dream entering is not specifically to show that you are a God."
"Have you seen other gods then?"
Messiah shakes her head "No."
"Then how do you know that there are no other gods?"
Messiah puts down her teacup and says, "Actually, you don't have to think about it so much. That is your innate talent. Use it well, okay?"
He got an answer that was not an answer.
Lin Ye helplessly says, "But I haven't used it for a long time. No matter how sharp the sword is, it will slowly rust if it isn't released from it's sheath. Having said that, it's not good to enter other people's dream rashly." Lin Ye said,
I really don't want to enter someone else's dream. Especially those type of dreams... he shudders.
"I didn't mean that." Messiah nods "I understand since you don't seem to be giving up soon. I will continue to enter your dream."
" ... Are you bored?"
"Have you never heard of it?" says Messiah, "The gods always are bored."
... I always feel that this sentence doesn't seem right, although it sounds pretty smooth.
"It's all right." Messiah slowly gets up, "Go back and use your abilities wisely. The real world will have many limitations for you, but the dream world is different. Learn to hone your skills. You will get some unexpected gains from it."
Messiah's words reminded Lin Ye of Liz. Yes, he brought Liz out of her dream world, and now Liz is living her life happily. The biggest achievement he has accomplished in this world.
"But I still don't know who to practice it with." Lin Ye is a little clueless.
"If not a friend, then the enemy." Messiah pulls out a black glove and then throws it to Lin Ye.
Lin Ye catches it, and asks curiously: "What's this?"
"It's from a person who wants your life." says Messiah, "You will go in his dream tonight."
Lin Ye's mouth twitches slightly: "What?"
"Are you afraid of ghosts?" Messiah changes the subject.
"They're real?"
Lin Ye is silent for a while, scratching his head: "Well, I'm still a little scared of them."
"Why are you afraid? Clearly, in this world, there are no ghosts. Of course, I am not referring to dead people, I'm referring to the fairy tales, the folklore to scare children."
"I know, but even if you know that there are no ghosts in this world, you will still be afraid. If you have to ask the reason... I can't say."
"No need to explain." Messiah replied, "This is a normal thing. You are afraid of ghosts. you are afraid of an idea, an image. The image that haunts your mind and your dreams, the thing that dwells in the darkness and gnaws at your psyche"
She then points her finger at him.
"Be the ghost in his dreams"
