"From the moment I was born, I've had the same dream every day, where the same day repeats itself endlessly."
"What did you do in your dream?"
"Robbed banks, blew up buildings, flirted with girls, joyrode in luxury cars... Since it was a dream, naturally, I did a lot of lawless things."
"Tell me about your dream last night."
"Yesterday was quite interesting. After dreaming for so long, it was the first time I dreamed about someone I know in real life. She was a very beautiful girl..."
"Mhm."
The police officer Uncle nodded as he took notes:
"Keep going, I'm listening."

Lin Xian stepped forward, caressing the engraving on the door, touching the Rhein Cat that had once again traversed 600 years:


"Logically, after such great disasters on Earth, after so many years of war, civilization interruptions, and historical gaps... such an insignificant toy as the Rhein Cat would definitely not have been passed down."

"Perhaps," CC waved and beckoned them to come inside:


"Let me take you to meet the village chief's grandmother first; she will surely welcome you, so there's no need to be apprehensive."


Lin Xian and Wei Shengjin exchanged glances and nodded their heads.
