Chapter 201 Dreaming

“……………………”

I have to say that sitting like this in a stormy shabby house is indeed a bit embarrassing.

Everyone sat together, while the woman in the red cloak sat on the other side, just looking at them without saying a word.

"Excuse me, are you also planning to go to the castle? Miss?"

Mysterina broke the silence first, looked at the woman with a smile and asked, while the other woman trembled and shrank her body.

"No... I'm just a coward... I dare not..."

While speaking, the woman lowered her head.

"...Everyone has been grafted."

"???"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the woman's ignorant conversation, but the woman just stared at the bonfire and said in a low voice.

"Those who came to the junction with me and fought for me...the hands, feet, and heads were all cut off and turned into parts of the spider."

"Well……………"

"Woo..."

"Alas……"

Although I don't know what she is talking about, but the content alone makes the girls' complexions turn blue. Misterina looks confused and doesn't know what to say, while Lorena is also confused, and Bambi is confused. With a low cry of fright, she got into Duanmu Huai's arms. Seeing this scene, Augis thought for a while, then put down the book in her hand, and got into Duanmu Huai's arms.

However, the woman didn't care about this, she just raised her head and looked at everyone with a pair of dull eyes.

"Did you know? After being attached to a spider, a person will grow like a chrysalis? It's really amazing, isn't it?"

"That...is pretty amazing."

Duanmuhuai's face also twitched as he imagined a giant spider full of human bodies whose limbs and heads had been chopped off. Could it be that there is such a thing in the castle they are going to next?

If so, that would be disgusting enough.

"Hehehe..."

The woman chuckled, Duanmuhuai felt a bit like dementia in her appearance, her eyes were staring at the front without focus, she looked at something, but she didn't seem to see anything at all. Although she raised her head and was facing Duanmuhuai and the others, the woman's eyes seemed to penetrate them, looking directly at the void behind them.

"Are you heading towards Stonewell? Is it because you listened to the good words of that Mr. White Mask? Or do you want to become a part of the spider? If so, then you will be the same as me."

"Uh... Miss, do you want to become that... a limb?"

Hearing this, Lorena couldn't help asking, and her question seemed to pierce the pain in the woman's heart. She lowered her head, looked at the ground, and muttered to herself.

"But I don't have the courage to have my limbs cut off and my head cut off. It's really terrible. I really want to be like everyone else, but I'm really scared. I'm too cowardly."

Well, this is more or less a person with common sense.

In other words, normal people would not accept that kind of limb grafting.

"Ah, yes."

At this time, the woman seemed to hear something, she lowered her head, then took out a small bottle from her bosom, and handed it to Duanmu Huai.

"Can you please take this child on a trip together? It's too pitiful for her to accompany such a cowardly me..."

"What's this?"

Duanmuhuai took the small glass bottle and took a look, there seemed to be some kind of dust in it. At the same time, his system also made a prompt.

[Obtain special item "Ash of Soul Jellyfish"]

[The ashes of the soul jellyfish: the ashes of the soul are lodged, and the soul of the soul jellyfish can be summoned. It floats in the air and illuminates the souls around. Kurala]

Jellyfish? girl? soul?

How should this thing be used?

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai thought for a while, then clenched the glass bottle tightly, injected a bit of spiritual energy, and soon, a huge jellyfish quietly emerged out of thin air, exuding purple brilliance, suspended in the air like this, one by one The soft tentacles danced slowly, looking very beautiful.

"Wow, so beautiful!!"

Seeing this jellyfish, Bambi immediately got out of Duanmuhuai's arms, and stared at it with wide eyes. And Lorena also stared curiously at the soul jellyfish in front of her, and gently stretched out her hand, only to see that the soul jellyfish seemed to understand what Lorena meant, and also stretched out its tentacles, touching Lorena's fingers.

"It's really cute, Lord Knight."

"It's pretty cute."

Duanmu Huai also stretched out his hand, and poked the jellyfish in front of him. The latter shook slightly, and then returned to Duanmu Huai's side again. Although it is said to be a jellyfish, it is so beautiful and glows. It is already a very cute pet.

You see, there are still pets.

Looking at the soul jellyfish in front of him, Duanmu Huai was in a good mood. Didn't he say before that sooner or later he would catch a small animal as a pet, and now that's it? This soul jellyfish is also pretty cute, isn't it?

"Thank you, lady."

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also bowed to the woman, who waved her hand.

"It's okay, and the soul likes you very much, I think this child will be very happy with you."

"Anyway, I still want to thank you... I wonder if there is anything we can do for you?"

"In this case……………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's question, the woman hesitated and thought for a while.

"If you are going to Stonewell City, please help convey to everyone who has become a chrysalis: I love you, although I am still very scared, but sooner or later I will become exactly like everyone... I am finally less afraid of pain."

……………is it necessary?

Hearing the woman's words, everyone was speechless for a while, and Duanmuhuai could only nod his head. After getting Duanmuhuai's answer, the woman seemed to be relieved, then she bowed to everyone, curled up in the corner next to her again, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Looking at the sleeping woman, everyone didn't know what to say for a while.

"Master Knight, don't you really want to tell those people..."

"Let's talk about the situation."

Facing Lorena's question, Duanmuhuai also scratched his hair helplessly.

"Just listening to her words, I don't think anything good will happen in Stonewell... In short, let's rest first."

Soon, everyone also fell into a deep sleep, while Duanmu Huai sat on the spot, staring at the front, at this moment, suddenly, the voice of Aojisi sounded.

"Owner."

"Huh? What's the matter? Augis?"

"Pain...what does it feel like?"

"Hey... ah..."

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai finally realized that Augis is a puppet, so she will not feel pain. For her, no matter whether it is removing limbs or head, she probably will not feel this kind of feeling. Perhaps it was the fear that the woman said before when the limb was connected that aroused August's curiosity, so she had such an idea.

"Well... How should I put it? For ordinary life forms, pain is an instinctive expression. When you are hurt, you will feel pain, and the pain will remind you that there is danger here..."

".........???"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Augis still looked at him with unimaginable eyes, which made Duanmuhuai didn't know how to explain for a while.

It's like you explain colors to a blind man, tell him what is blue and what is red, he can't imagine it.

Or if she asks herself what it feels like to breathe, Duanmuhuai probably won't be able to answer.

"Do you remember Jiawei?"

"…………………Um."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Augis' expression sank slightly, and she nodded.

"How do you feel when you think of her?"

"I have no idea."

As Augis spoke, she stretched out her hand and placed it on her chest.

"I just feel that there seems to be something strange here, and the whole person seems to have no strength, I don't want to move, and I don't want to think about it......"

"That's called being sad."

Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and touched Augis's head.

"It's what happens when you're sad. How did you feel when your father died?"

"It's about the same as Yanwei at that time, but it seems... more intense."

Having said this, Augis frowned slightly.

"It's more intense...the feeling seems to be that the whole body is being torn apart... there is an indescribable feeling..."

"That's the pain."

"But I'm not hurt?"

"It's a mental pain, and it's about the same as a physical pain."

"So that's it, that's the pain..."

Augustus pressed her chest, murmured to herself, and then she leaned against Duanmuhuai's side.

"But... this way, it feels so much better."

While talking, Augis closed her eyes.

"Would you please let me stay like this for a while, master?"

"Of course, take a good rest."

Duanmuhuai stroked Augis's hair, then leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

Deep darkness, smooth as silk, soft to the touch.

When Duanmuhuai opened his eyes again, he was not wearing clothes, but lying on a bed, beside him, a white shadow was hugging him.

"Ah... my king..."

There is only one light in the dim room, and the soft touch, mixed with the woman's soft breathing and whispering, is presented in Duanmuhuai's ear.

"Please let me hold you tight and feel your warmth...my king...I can feel your power, the power full of destruction and death...please wake up...be our... ..."

The sound gradually faded away, and the next moment, Duanmu Huai fell into a deep sleep again.
