The moment Ye Lan reopens her eyes, fantastical dream colors flood her vision.
Her consciousness has successfully entered the dream.
"Hmm, I should find Shu Yao and the others first."
Without a second thought, Ye Lan starts moving, heading straight for the entertainment district of the dream capital.
As long as this capital is the same as the real one, her decision is correct.
Shu Yao and the others should also be heading to the entrance of the entertainment district.
Ye Lan only hopes that when she arrives there, she'll see at least one familiar figure.
Then.
Ye Lan runs with all her might, moving quickly with Divine Speed B towards the entertainment district.
Although her speed is very fast, a noticeable anomaly.
But in this dream world full of fantastical colors, there are many stranger sights manifested from ordinary people's true thoughts, making Ye Lan's actions hardly noteworthy.
Ye Lan doesn't want to overly rely on the dream's characteristics to aid her movement.
It would be terrible if she were inexplicably corrupted by the Star Eclipse's power.
So it's better to be more stable.
Even though she really likes the Wish Princess she conjured in the dream last time.
Just then, Ye Lan suddenly notices something and can't help but stop.
"Huh?"
She hasn't reached her destination yet, but suddenly glimpses an unexpected person.
That person isn't Kong Yubai or Shu Yao, nor Mo Tutu, nor any Night Watcher, but the black-haired girl who was beside the Dream Narrator when Ye Lan first saw him!
She's walking alone on the road now, holding a flute, very quiet.
Ye Lan is a bit nervous, just staring at her from a distance, not making a sound.
Although the black-haired girl looks very cute, Ye Lan isn't foolish enough to approach her.
One should be vigilant when facing an unfamiliar Star Eclipse!
Just then, the black-haired girl holding the flute suddenly senses someone staring at her, so she turns her head and meets Ye Lan's gaze.
Thus, Ye Lan is discovered.
"Hmm..."
Ye Lan starts to tense up, preparing to run away.
However, to her surprise, the girl with the flute only glances at her before looking away, seemingly uninterested.
Seeing this, Ye Lan lets out a small sigh of relief.
"Phew~ Not interested in me? That's great, I thought I was going to be targeted."
However, just as she relaxes, a soft voice suddenly sounds by her ear.
"You've been targeted."
"Ugh!"
Ye Lan's breath catches, and she instinctively runs far away.
When she looks back after retreating a distance, Ye Lan finally realizes who was speaking.
The black-haired girl with the flute is standing there, even though she was far away just moments ago, she inexplicably appeared nearby, as if by magic, so scary!
"Who... who are you?"
Ye Lan asks stutteringly, her heart already thinking about running away.
Hearing Ye Lan's question, the black-haired girl with the flute answers softly: "I am a dream spirit created to wield the power of slumber. You can call me Zhu Meng Yin Yun."
"Zhu Meng Yin Yun... is that a Star Eclipse name?"
Ye Lan inexplicably thinks of this point.
At this time, Zhu Meng Yin Yun suddenly says: "Are you one of those who can clearly see dreams and reality?"
"Ah... if you mean Star holders... then I admit."
"I see, you're very impressive, but even so, you can't do anything in the dream."
"Ah... can I go now?"
"Please."
Hearing this, Ye Lan can basically confirm that Zhu Meng Yin Yun isn't interested in her.
It seems she's only responsible for playing the flute that makes people fall asleep, causing the night's dream to shatter, and doesn't seem to care about much else.
Perhaps this Star Eclipse was created by the Dream Narrator in the dream.
Ye Lan instinctively steps back.
She now only wants to quickly reach her destination and meet up with Kong Yubai and Shu Yao.
As for matters concerning the Star Eclipse in the dream, let the Night Watchers worry about that.
This isn't within her scope of work at the moment.
Ye Lan is about to start running again when a voice stops her in her tracks.
"Wait a moment."
It's a man's voice.
Ye Lan's expression immediately freezes, feeling a terrifying presence behind her.
Yes, it must be right.
The person who made this sound must be the Dream Narrator who weaves this world!
"Run away nanoda!"
Ye Lan's figure instantly disappears from the spot, already using Divine Speed B to run a long distance.
She doesn't have the courage to face a terrifying unknown Star Eclipse now.
If she had reliable companions by her side, it would be fine, but now she's all alone!
When in doubt, running away is her life principle!
At this moment, Ye Lan suddenly sees a tall, thin figure on her path ahead, it's the Dream Narrator she saw before!
He maintains a calm and gentle expression, staring at Ye Lan.
"Why are you running?"
Seeing this, Ye Lan makes a sharp turn to change her escape route, not stopping.
However, to her surprise, every time she changes direction, there's a Dream Narrator blocking the path ahead, as if he's using shadow clones.
Ye Lan is forced to stop, crouching down and covering her head defensively.
"Wuwuwu, let me go..."
The Dream Narrator walks up to Ye Lan.
"Am I that scary?"
"Yes, very scary..."
"How so? I haven't hurt you."
"Umm... I'm shy around strangers."
"Oh, I see."
At this point, Ye Lan stands up and retreats a dozen steps again, watching the mysterious man before her very vigilantly.
"I warn you, if you come any closer, I won't be polite. I'm very scary when I get angry, and I don't know what will happen then."
The Dream Narrator ignores her words and asks:
"Do you want to run away? Don't you want to know the truth? Is this your true self?"
Ye Lan narrows her eyes slightly.
"Hmm... please speak plainly, I don't want to hear riddles anymore."
Ye Lan has already pushed her courage threshold to the maximum limit, which is why she's resisting the urge to run away.
Moreover, even if she runs, she'll be stopped by this strange Star Eclipse, so it's better to ask what he wants first.
If he really wants to do something, she can always use the almighty Wish Machine.
Even this Star Eclipse surely can't resist the power of the Wish Machine.
Thinking this way, Ye Lan suddenly feels more confident.
Now the Dream Narrator also stops beating around the bush.
"I want to peek into your true self. You seem very special, but I can't see through your specialness, so... you've caught my attention."
What kind of domineering CEO talk is this?
Hearing this, Ye Lan remains silent, already guessing something.
It seems that her possession of an Exceptional Star is not only a big deal among the Night Watchers, but even Star Eclipses are interested.
This kind of specialness can't be seen with the eyes, but is felt intuitively.
So now the situation is:
Being targeted by a strange Star Eclipse.
This is troublesome.
