Chapter 509: Questioning the Heart in a Dream
"I came here for something else." Anti shook his hand lightly and then withdrew it, saying.

"Didn't you say you came to see me?" Iris raised her eyebrows.

"I came to you to do some serious business and to come and see you." In a sense, Anti has the talent of a scumbag.

Iris snorted disdainfully: "You're here for your own business, right?"

Anti nodded: "I want you to help me open my own dream, so that I can enter the depths of my mind... It has been delayed for quite some time, and it is time for a result."

When facing Nie Hong and Eyaluka, the stranger disappeared twice in a row, which made Anti realize that the time had come. He should face his other self and make things clear.

Before the next battle, you need to adjust your own state to be truly complete.

Iris circled around Anti and said, "This is not a difficult thing. Although you come from outside this world, you and I are now bound together. It is easy to open your dream."

"But... this is your own dream. I can't interfere with your pursuit of completeness. You will be the only one facing the scene in your dream, and I can only watch from the side." Iris reminded.

Anti nodded: "That's how it should be."

“Compared to a lot of external tests, the path of self-examination is often the most difficult.” Iris said again, “But if you can’t complete yourself, then even if you become a god, you will probably just be a defective product like that person.”

She raised her hand, and the sleeping bird bell in Anti's hand was summoned over.

"Then I hope you can still stay awake in your dream this time, Anti." As she spoke, Iris rang the bell.

A gust of wind blew, and the purple and white petals fluttered in the wind, and Anti's hair was also lifted up.

A white vortex suddenly opened up in his chest and sucked him into it.

……

On a rainy night, thunder roared and muffled sounds came through the window.

The rocking crib and the rotating toy bell above it made a crisp sound, which drowned out the thunder and woke Anti from his daze.

Such a familiar place, it’s just as expected.

Looking at his own white and chubby little hands, Anti turned over and crawled up. He was a baby.

Then he glanced to the foot of the bed and saw another ugly, dark baby huddled in the corner, looking unhappy.

"What are you doing?" The baby naturally couldn't speak, but Anti's words echoed out of thin air and reached the stranger.

"Listen..." Then, the stranger's voice responded, hoarse, sharp, harsh and unpleasant.

"Listen to what?"

"Listen... that woman's voice..."

At this time, Anti noticed that beneath the sound of the bed bell and the thunder and rain, one could hear people talking outside the half-open door.

To be precise, it was the sound of quarreling.

"Taking care of a child is too annoying. I don't want to raise one anymore."

"It's okay...Anti is quite obedient and rarely cries."

"But every time he cries, it makes me irritated. If I had known, I shouldn't have been with you... Never mind, I've done it, there's nothing to say. Just be more careful next time."

"What should we do then?" asked a weak male voice.

After a moment of silence, the female voice said, "Give it to my dad. Doesn't he like elite education? I ran away, and now I'm giving him a second chance. He probably won't mind."

This remark might be a little too outrageous, and the man was silent for a long time and couldn't speak.

"What? Do you have any objections?"

"After all, it's our child..."

"What do you mean our child? Do we need a child? He is just an accident. If you want to raise him, then let's get a divorce."

"..."

The man didn't say anything, which meant he agreed. Then the woman immediately called her father whom she hadn't contacted for a long time and repeated her meaning without hesitation, followed by another quarrel over the phone.

It's annoying just to listen to it.

"You... don't feel anything?" the stranger suddenly asked.

Anti was stunned: "What do you feel?"

The stranger suddenly pounced on him, and Anti immediately resisted. The two babies bumped into each other, and after a brief stalemate, Anti was pushed against the bed rail by the stranger.

"You were abandoned so casually and ruthlessly by your mother and transferred around like a pet. Don't you feel anything about it?!" The stranger's heavy voice kept coming, and it continued to approach Anti.

After a struggle, the bed rail finally couldn't bear the weight and broke.

Boom——!
There was a flash of lightning, followed by a loud thunder.

The two babies fell to the ground, but they had grown up to become teenagers.

The young boy Anti looked at his body, but the young stranger was unyielding and kicked him. Anti raised his hands to block, but once the kick made contact, he was kicked backwards by the huge force.

After breaking through the wall, Anti rolled on the ground to get up, standing on a green field wearing his jersey.

The stranger faced him wearing the jersey of the opposing team.

The applause and cheers all around made Anti a little dazed and lost.

"Anti! Ball!"

A voice rang out, and in front of him, a stranger kicked the ball with great force, causing the football to deform and twist, and shot towards Anti at a terrifying speed.

boom!
With a dull thud, Antii was hit in the face by the football. He fell straight down and his head hit the grass.

But the shouting around did not stop.

An Ti stood up, expressionlessly took the ball that fell from high up, then turned around and kicked it back.

boom!
It also hit the stranger right in the face.

The stranger just shook his head and took the ball away.

"Everyone hopes that you, who are so talented, will continue to play..." The voice sounded again, "Do you enjoy everyone's expectations of you?"

An old man's voice said, "No, he may make a lot of money in the future by becoming a star player, but with his talent, it's easy to make money. What he needs is more recognized glory, a real elite, a big star! He won't get that in a team like this in the future. He can't play football."

The football kicked back by the stranger turned into a basketball when Anti was about to unload it.

But the same thing goes for basketball.

He has been involved in many sports.

I received countless expectations, but then because of my grandfather's idea, I gave it up and moved on to another field.

His talent is so good that it is totally worth taking time and careful selection. Grandpa took Anti, this precious uncut jade, and hoped to find the most ideal shape for him.

During this process, Anti said nothing and just responded to the words around him.

They do whatever they are told to do.

"Are you a fucking robot!?"

The stranger shouted loudly, and swung the tennis racket down like a knife, knocking Anti to the ground. He fell into the swimming pool, and his blood dyed the pool red.

In the bottomless swimming pool, Anti floated up and just as he poked his head out of the water, the stranger slapped his head back into the water.

In such a situation, Anti maintained a calm expression. He grabbed the other person and entangled with the stranger again. The two of them fell deeper and deeper into the pool.

Until falling from the upside-down pool.
