"Qi He, did you not just say that everything Vadim is experiencing right now is a world created by his subconscious?"
Gustav, watching the screen of the device for a long time, finally asked this question in a muffled voice.
"Indeed, I did say that."
"Then why would Song Lan appear in such a place?"
Gustav had heard that the more one dwells on something during the day, the more likely they are to dream about it at night. This saying refers to the idea that an obsessive fixation with someone or something often leads to their appearance in one's dreams.
Could it be...
that this Vadim, ever since being defeated in Zone Four, has been constantly preoccupied with thoughts of the person who defeated him?
