Chapter 466 The Dream Is Not a Dream?
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Maybe it's a moment, maybe it's billions of years.
When her consciousness came back to life again, Murong Ziying opened her already dim eyes. She subconsciously or habitually looked around and found that her familiar teammates were also around. She felt a sense of rareness. of comfort.
Of course, it was just a trace... He let out a long sigh, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally, and as if his spirit was completely exhausted. Based on his state of mind, he also felt a deep sense of powerlessness and difficulty in sustaining himself.
The expressions on the other people's faces were basically the same, they were all listless, looking like they couldn't get enough energy. Only Liu Mengli's expression remained calm and unchanged. She was able to feed on dreams. Although she didn't know it, it did seem to be constantly nourishing her during this period, which was of great benefit to her growth.
As for other people, they are really tired.
Since this period of time... no, maybe time doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, they can't remember how many times they have been in different dreams. This is an unimaginably long experience.
Although it is not really how many years have passed in a down-to-earth manner, this is in a dream. The concept of time is inherently vague. What really plays a decisive role is the subjective feeling.
Many people should have had this experience, that is, when they wake up from a dream, even though they may have only squinted for a short while, they always feel that a long time has passed. This is probably what it means - let What makes people feel long is not the specific time that has passed, but how they feel.
Moreover, the experiences of this group of people during this period have been a bit too eventful.
…………
They witnessed with their own eyes a war in which ancient heroic spirits were summoned for a decisive battle, just to seize the omnipotent cauldron that is said to be able to grant all wishes. The battlefield was also conducted in a strange and puzzling city, hidden from the public.
In addition to the simple need for confidentiality, it is also said that "the more people who know the mystery, the smaller the effect of the mystery", so these things must be blocked to ensure that the fewer people know, the better.
The former King of Knights was also summoned to participate in this war, hoping to seize the Holy Grail that would allow her to change the destiny of Britain. Moreover, the person who summoned her was the one whom everyone met nine years before this dream began. Irisviel arrived.
Although everyone felt contempt for the unscrupulous Emiya Kiritsugu, they still hoped that their team could win the final victory. The king can save the fate of his country, and the beautiful woman can be reunited with her daughter.
However, no, the entire Holy Grail War was played by a mysterious magician from the very beginning. Through a series of tactics such as vertical and horizontal combinations, illegal summons, etc., he dominated the general trend. Even Artoria was captured, and Irisviel eventually died as a Holy Grail vessel. It was destined to have no good outcome from the beginning.
And the most terrible thing is that the entire huge ceremony is actually a conspiracy, and even the Holy Grail that finally comes is just a container that holds all the "evil" in the world...
…………
They also entered a rather strange dream. The dream no longer contained those puzzling future scenes, but a backward and primitive ancient society that was more familiar to them. It was also an era where ghosts walked at night and demons danced wildly.
However, many inhuman things exist based on human fear, and their strength is affected by this. Most gods will tend to disappear if they lose faith. This is a very strange phenomenon.
However, people who have experienced the previous scene and accepted the setting that "the more people know the mystery, the smaller the effect of the mystery", don't think there is any problem.
Although the fear of heaven and earth has declined, the dreamland is still an inhuman era, with countless demons and monsters active on the earth. Everyone found the center of the dream without spending too much time.
It was in a large lake, where a large number of inhuman things gathered together, waiting for the arrival of the full moon night. It is said that a monster named the Yokai Sage has summoned the active non-human beings on the earth to discuss plans. It seems that he hopes to open up new territories and invites everyone to fight somewhere together...
I don’t know what will happen next. After all, the scene was quite chaotic and noisy at the time. This information was only part of what was spread in the chaotic venue.
Moreover, at that time, Murong Ziying was already furious when she saw so many monsters gathered together, their aura rising to the sky, and they seemed to be planning a shocking conspiracy to invade the human kingdom.
His character dictates that he cannot tolerate it and watch this happen. So he attacked brazenly on the spot, vowing to wipe out the demons and bring peace to the world, and he would have no regrets with his sword!
Then……
Everyone was killed in an instant.
There was no attack, no collision, no fierce fight. The moment they took action, one of the slim figures in the center looked over with such an indifferent glance.
…………
That was the first and only time that everyone faced death in a dream.
After that, Murong Ziying became more taciturn, but she also restrained herself a lot.
There is great terror between life and death. Even the impact of death in a dream is quite terrifying. It can both temper one's character and leave a shadow. Perhaps he has not changed his mind, but at least he has begun to consider whether his teammates will be dragged down by his actions.
And with the convergence of the swordsman who was most likely to become an uncertain factor in the team, the dream became much simpler. It's not that they really didn't do anything, but they still worked very hard in the dream. Searching for hidden information clues, trying to decipher and find the path.
It's just that at least he won't take action directly when his brain gets hot, and then make the dream come alive instantly, causing terrible counterattacks and corrections.
Next, there is still a very long journey...
——They entered a dreamland where parasitic monsters were rampant, devouring human brains, and hiding in human society...
——They have also entered a completely unfamiliar world, witnessed the sky and the earth falling apart, the stars in the void turning into great beings, and ancient gods and demons awakening under the earth, leading to a dream of the end of the world...
——They also entered a dream memory just nine years ago, which actually happened to be the record of Ouyang Mingzhu's father being killed and her soul being taken away and taken to Jimo...
This journey feels really infinitely long, and it can be said that everyone has gained a lot, whether it is their state of mind, concepts, or their ability to deal with the world, etc., they have grown more fully.
And they also vaguely understood it, thinking that they and others might be traveling back and forth in time. After all, they did find a lot of information in the dream, and overall, it was consistent -
It seems that those modern scenes are the world thousands of years later, and the close ancient dreams are what happened in exotic and distant countries.
There are only two lost people who know everything, but they say nothing because it is unnecessary and cannot explain why they know so much. Moreover, the people behind the scenes obviously want to give these plot characters the illusion of traveling through time in this world. , they think it’s better not to cause trouble.
But this still can't change the psychological fatigue of everyone. Although they have never stopped, so many "reincarnations" have really pushed their bodies and minds to the limit.
…
…
Murong Ziying looked around subconsciously and found that she and others appeared inside a modern building this time, standing in an empty corridor.
The rays of the setting sun were warm and genial, shining through the windows.
On the other side were empty rooms with no one in them. There seemed to be only some tables and chairs stacked up, and they didn't know what they were used for... The two lost people once again recognized that these were classrooms.
In that case, what school building did they appear in this time? So whose dream is it this time?
Xiuyu subconsciously looked out the window into the distance, and sure enough she saw the huge sports ground under the setting sun. There were many young and energetic students coming and going, and she could also hear some laughing and playing sounds.
This made her feel a long-lost, strange yet familiar feeling.
And just outside the building, there were many boys and girls in school uniforms coming in and out, laughing or sighing into the cool evening breeze... This was a movement that should have been noticed immediately, but she was really too tired. too tired.
Both the body and mind are stretched to the limit, and the sensory perception and thinking reactions are much slower as a result. It is like the result of ordinary people staying up late for a long time to practice immortality. It takes several seconds to react to what is happening right in front of them.
"This dream... I don't feel that it has any properties that belong to a dream."
Liu Mengli said softly. The girl who always acted relaxed and calm had a serious expression at this moment.
"What do you mean?" Murong Ziying asked subconsciously.
"It's completely different from the previous dream. I can't tell whether it's a dream or not. If I come to another world..." Liu Mengli said seriously, "If what I expected is correct, I'm afraid... I've already arrived at that person's location. land.”
"..."
"..."
Murong Ziying suddenly looked solemn, and everyone else also cheered up. Is it finally time to see Zhenzhang?
Even if it’s just a quickie, how many years has it been? ! Hmm...how long has it been going on? When they thought about this problem, everyone felt dazed for a while, as if a long time had passed, or it seemed like it was just a blink of an eye.
But if we really reach the end of this journey and have to meet the mastermind next, I'm afraid this scene is also very dangerous and not as peaceful as it appears...
Everyone looked at Murong Ziying subconsciously.
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion..." Lengjun Sword Immortal was a little embarrassed and could only say this with a tight expression.
The previous one was really unimaginable and terrifying. There was obviously no fireworks before taking action. Not to mention that Murong Ziying had no clue, and even others didn't get any warning.
Neither of the two lost men had ever thought that those soft and frail figures were actually demigods - at least that was the case judging from the performance in the dream.
