Chapter 810 The Queen of Time
"The biggest difference between humans and animals is not intelligence, but complex emotions, because various intertwined desires drive civilization and the times." I looked at the crystal in the palm of my hand. This is the most primitive power of a person. How strong is it? No one could tell except the butcher.
I tried to absorb it several times, but maybe I didn't master the correct method and couldn't open the crystal shell at all.
"Black Robe and the others haven't caught the butcher so far. It seems that the butcher has successfully escaped from here. I have to leave as soon as possible." The map that the old man gave me before his consciousness disappeared marked several butchers who may have escaped. location, including the former site of the Underworld Show.
"There are still three fragments of my reincarnation mirror to put together. One piece is on the unlit road in the deep dreamland, and the rest should be hidden on the butcher. After all, he seems to have collected mirror fragments for a while."
Will wrapped around my body, when I walked out of the small building, the neighborhood outside had changed.
Gray and white spider silk blocked all the buildings, and the entire block turned into a huge spider nest.
I returned the same way and found Master Wang who was frightened by the shadow of the spider and his scalp was numb. At his strong request, I took it back into the ghost ring. As for the dream talisman the size of a fingernail, I did not take it off.
After I was completely out of this neighborhood, I breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the broken sky above my head, as if there was a big hole in the night.
The hole no longer shrinks and seems to have stabilized. On the other side of the hole, something can be vaguely seen slowly approaching.
"The flow of time in this area is too abnormal, but as long as I leave here, I still have a chance."
According to the old man's memory map, the unlit road in the deep dreamland is more than ten blocks away from here, and it is also the nearest marked location from here.
"The Butcher is a staunch supporter of the show, so it makes sense that he fled to the old show site when he was weak." I gathered my breath and hurried on at full speed, trying to avoid any conflicts.
After leaving the area covered by the loophole, the time flow rate in the deep dream returned to normal.
In the first few blocks we passed, probably because of the proximity to the sky loophole, all the dream creatures living in them had escaped, and the few who had not left were hiding in the buildings.
When I got farther away, I clearly felt that there were a lot of strange eyes around me. Most of them were hiding in the dark, looking at all the living creatures passing by with malicious eyes.
After walking two more blocks, a large group of thoughts began to appear in the sky, and heads were dancing in the night. The scene was particularly scary.
It is not too difficult to avoid the prying eyes of nightmares and the shadows of giant spiders, but it is extremely difficult to pass through the blockade of a large group of thoughts without being discovered.
I was discovered by thoughts several times, but what surprised me was that even if those thoughts saw me, they did not show any intention of attacking me, nor did they invite friends to reveal my location.
"Why do I feel so weird, as if these malicious thoughts of abandonment are protecting me?" I don't know what happened to me, or it may be because of some unknown changes in the outside world.
The journey was uneventful. When we approached the unlit road in the deep dreamland, the surroundings suddenly became much quieter.
Neither nightmares nor thoughts dare to come near this place.
"It feels like nothing has changed since the last time I came in." The dark streets, strange-shaped street lamps, twisted and folded alleys that seemed to have no end.
Stepping into it, I paid close attention and moved forward slowly.
"No. 44, Lightless Road..." I buried my head in search, and I don't know if it was my imagination, but the night seemed to be getting darker.
"If I were a butcher, where would I be hiding at this time?" Putting myself in his shoes, if I were being hunted by black robes and betrayers, the chance of hiding on an unlit road is not high. This place has special significance for anyone. For any force, it is a place that must be searched.
The second time I came to the unlit road in the deep dreamland, not only did I not feel familiar, but I also had a vague feeling of strangeness and danger, as if this place had been set into a trap.
"Something's not right. It's too quiet around here. The betrayer may have arrived here one step ahead!" I didn't have a map before, so I didn't dare to wander around in the deep dreamland. I was afraid of getting lost, so I was delayed for too long in the loophole-covered neighborhood.
"The flow of time is different, I can't risk going in now." I retreated quietly, like a wild cat wandering in the dark night, my movements were light and I didn't make any sound.
After retreating to the outskirts of the unlit road, I used my judgment and suddenly saw, not far from the entrance to the unlit road, a bench next to the deserted street, with a man wearing a variegated robe sitting on it!
He wore a hood that covered half of his face, leaving only his slender chin and thin lips exposed.
I saw this person when I first entered a deep dream (see Chapter 551 for details)! Xia Chi once told me that this person was a lunatic among the betrayers, and the Deep Dream Show was almost destroyed by him alone!
I still vaguely remember what this man once said to Xia Chi. He seemed to disagree with Little A's plan and was going to kill me directly. He also said that he would never cause any further trouble.
Thinking of this, I paid more attention, wrapping my body with my will and not making any sound.
"What is he doing?" Hiding in the dark, I took advantage of my eyes to watch secretly. The man in a variegated robe didn't notice me. He was focusing on the things in his hands, which were painful miniature dolls. , only the size of a baby's finger, but the expressions of each doll are lifelike, as if they were real people!
"The only things in deep dreams that can imitate human expressions and have extremely high intelligence are nightmares." I was speechless. The nightmares that others avoid are just dolls that can be manipulated at will in the hands of a man. This man's strength is shocking. .
As I continued to observe, things surprised me one after another.
The man randomly scattered the miniature figures in his hands on the ground. The figures seemed to have entered a maze and were wandering around. I was curious and strained my eyesight to see clearly.
Under the man's feet was a map of the unlit streets, which was very detailed and had a certain three-dimensional feel, like a miniature city.
Many low buildings are restored to a very high degree, and in the very center of the map, there is a small tombstone.
"Nightmare, map, city? And a tombstone symbolizing death?" I looked at the countless little people crawling around the edge of the map, and suddenly a very bad idea came to my mind. I turned my head and looked towards the outside of the unlit street. I don't know when Deep dream monsters with different looks are coming from other neighborhoods and swarming towards the unlit road!
"Has this lunatic discovered me? Is he targeting me, or is he chasing the butcher? Or, does he simply want to 'clean' the lightless road?!" There are nightmares and monsters in all directions. I want to hide only Running into an unlit road is equivalent to slow suicide.
Just when I was hesitating, a strange roaring sound came from the night sky. I couldn't hear it clearly just now, but I just felt that the air seemed to be stirred. Then everything slowly began to tremble, and the surrounding buildings, Neighborhoods, even whole tracts of land!
The map drawn at the feet was destroyed, and the miniature figures on it staggered one by one. The face of the man sitting on the bench wearing a variegated robe slowly changed. His thin lips pressed together, and he raised his head and looked at the horizon.
The dreamy night was still intertwined with all kinds of magnificent light beams. As the vibrating sound continued to grow louder, the gorgeous lights were swallowed up, and a large group of black shadows covered the sky and rolled over!
"That's..." I almost couldn't believe my eyes. That endless existence that stretched across the night sky like dark clouds was actually made up of "thoughts"!
Whether it was nightmares or other monsters, they began to flee crazily, and the area where the dark clouds crossed was completely silent.
Gradually, a dark cloud of thoughts enveloped the unlit road and the surrounding blocks.
Seeing this scene, the man in a variegated robe grasped the armrest of the bench with his fingers, but he still did not get up, but stared in a certain direction with his eyes.
Following his gaze, in the dead city, countless thoughts were flying overhead, crooked and weird buildings stood quietly, and footsteps suddenly sounded on the deserted streets.
High heels stepped on the road of dreams, and a woman wearing a paper mask was walking towards the unlit road!
