Dream Call

Core theme: When divinity falls into the mortal world, memory becomes shackles and strength. A period of protection spanning eternity will illuminate the road to light in the fog of ordinary perseverance and suspense. The tone of the book: urban suspense as the surface, reincarnation epic as the interior, and a tense puzzle adventure with a core of warmth and healing hidden deep inside. Summary of the book Shen Mian, an advertising creative who was diagnosed with severe narcolepsy, was involved in the consciousness experiment base of the mysterious organization "The Other Side" due to strange dreams. Here, she meets Chen Jianghai (Baichuan), a neuroscientist who is imprisoned and has lost his memory and is sometimes manic. To escape their predicament, the two form a fragile alliance. Shen Mian discovers that she can travel through parallel time and space in her sleep and complete "missions", and this is actually related to her identity as "Wangshu" from the ancient protoss. She and Chen Jianghai (actually the god "Si Chen" who followed her into reincarnation) have always protected each other in several reincarnations (the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Republic of China, the 1980s, and even the Orcs), but they always missed each other due to the torrent of the times or the intervention of external forces. As the investigation deepens, the conspiracy of "The Other Side" and the "root cause" of the out-of-control AI it tries to control gradually emerge. In the process of retrieving each other's memories and strength, Shen Mian and Chen Jianghai not only have to fight against external enemies, but also face their own fate of being contaminated by the "Tide of Nothingness". In the end, they purified the "root" and reconstructed cause and effect not through destruction, but through understanding and sacrifice. They chose to put down their godhood and return to the world as "ordinary people" with all their memories, turning the gods' grand protection of living beings into their persistence in the concrete and small warmth and kindness in the world.
