Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 270 - 270 33 Dream Interweave 4

270: Chapter 33 Dream Interweave (4) 270: Chapter 33 Dream Interweave (4) “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a world-famous fairy tale.

At the beginning of the story, Alice follows a white rabbit down a rabbit hole, embarking on a magical and dreamlike adventure.

The heroine Alice, a little blond girl in a blue dress, has almost become a cultural symbol, or meme, after the story’s long history of reinterpretation.

Shiyu Ling’s outfit was exactly the same as the girl in the book, except for her hair not being blond.

“After seeing your childhood appearance, I’ll be embarrassed to call you Alice anymore…” He would immediately think of Shiyu Ling whenever he used the name Alice again, and when compared to the current regrettable evil woman, he couldn’t help but imagine what Shiyu Ling would look like now in an Alice outfit…

Forget it, really, forget it.

Gongsun Ce muttered to himself.

He didn’t rush to read the book, covered it up in its original state, and checked the time again.

The clock on the wall showed it was 10 in the morning, the date August 27.

He found a small calendar next to the writing desk, 1999.

This was the day deep within Shiyu Ling’s dreamscape.

Shiyu Genmi came home at 3:30 in the afternoon, time just before the “Father-Daughter Harmony” scene took place.

He recalled the dialogue between them.

— “Have you been a good child today?” “Yes!

Today, I went to deliver snacks to my little brothers and sisters!”

Gongsun Ce pondered these two sentences.

He believed there were two possibilities.

One was that delivering snacks as a good sister equaled being a good child; the other was that the sentence actually conveyed two things: being a good child and then delivering the snacks.

Where would Shiyu Ling’s younger siblings be?

Where did the present Shiyu Ling plan to go?

The answer was obvious.

“The rabbit hole is the Shiyu Research Institute.”

Before he had finished speaking, Shiyu Ling said, “I need to look in the mirror!

See how my outfit looks today.”

Be careful, or a mirror woman might jump out of the mirror and give you a fright.

Gongsun Ce controlled the little girl to wander around the house, checking every mirror on the first floor, but the girl said nothing.

He followed the staircase to the second floor and found a full-length mirror in a cozy bedroom full of a young girl’s style.

The mirror reflected the appearance of Shiyu Ling.

Before he could speak, a voice came from behind the mirror.

“You are the most beautiful and kindest girl in the world!”

Your dream is a mishmash, isn’t it?

Even Snow White has been stitched into it!

And you’ve quite knowingly assigned yourself the role of the queen!

Shiyu Ling picked up her skirt and twirled around happily.

“Really?

That’s great!

I’ve always been the best!”

Again with ‘the best’…

Shiyu Genmi also stressed in their conversation that she was the best.

The mirror, the father, plus her own approval— all these could likely all be factors in Shiyu Ling’s narcissistic character.

Gongsun Ce noticed another point of interest.

Shiyu Ling always considered herself a good child, and the mirror also called her kind.

This did not match the evil woman he knew…

Rather, everything in this dreamscape made it difficult for him to associate the girl with her true identity.

Shiyu Ling admired herself in the mirror for a while and then turned around with a smile.

“I want to bring Diana!

It won’t be lonely to adventure together.”

Gongsun Ce sighed, “Kid, don’t always test my memory, okay?

I watched less of the fairy tales in cartoons.

Plus, I don’t really like that type.

When I was a child, the fairy tale I liked was ‘108 Apples Cause Chaos on Earth’…”

Fortunately, the story of Alice was well-known, so he had some recollections.

Diana was the cat that Alice kept in reality.

In the story’s Illusion Realm, there was another famous cat: the Cheshire Cat, a shorthaired cat that always grinned.

Since the Immortal Realm turned out to be just a dream of Alice’s, the Cheshire Cat was likely a projection of Diana in the dream…

But that’s another story.

Gongsun Ce controlled Shiyu Ling to search around the bedroom.

Behind the mirror, on the writing desk, under the curtains…

He searched all the places where a cat might be hidden, found nothing, and oddly realized that there were no bookshelves in Shiyu Ling’s room.

Gongsun Ce noticed a bulge under the blanket.

He controlled the little girl to lift the blanket, and a little blue-haired cat was lying on the bed.

“If we’re talking about concealment, it’s pretty well hidden…” The Superpower User couldn’t help but complain, “I hate this kind of clueless carpet search in decryption games.”

“I’ve found you, Diana!” Shiyu Ling held the cat in her arms, and Diana meowed.

Gongsun Ce felt something was strange but couldn’t quite pinpoint it.

About ten minutes had passed, and he had run out of clues to work with; now he needed to find new information.

The Superpower User returned to the living room, picked up the fairy tale book from the couch, and read the text on the two pages.

·

Alice opened the door and found a small corridor beyond it, smaller even than a mouse-hole.

She knelt down and peered along the passage, seeing a beautiful garden she had never seen before.

…She noticed a little bottle on the table, which had a paper label tied around it with the words “Drink me” beautifully printed on it in large letters.

…Having no ‘Poison’ label on the bottle, Alice ventured to taste it and found it very nice.

She drank off the bottle at one go.

“What a curious feeling!” said Alice.

“I must be shutting up like a telescope.”

…Her attention then turned to a little glass box that was lying under the table.

She opened it and found a very small cake, upon which the words “Eat me” were beautifully marked in currants.
