Chapter 154 I Have Been in the Nightmare World for Ten Years!
The castle is located in the center of the Kingdom of the Sea and is also the highest on the island. It is made of gray stones and has towering walls. Its appearance looks simple and grand, not as gorgeous as the castles in fairy tales.
When the carriage arrived at the castle gate, the gate made of heavy wood was slowly opened by the people inside, making a dull sound.
Entering the interior of the castle, the first thing you see is a spacious courtyard with a clean and tidy stone paved floor and a mermaid-shaped fountain in the middle.
Yang Dongqing kept looking at the scenery inside the castle with a vigilant expression, guarding against every bush or rockery, for fear that some monster would suddenly pop out.
He has experienced the nightmare world several times, and has never seen such a safe nightmare.
Soon, the two got off the carriage, led by the consul into the castle hall, and met the so-called king.
The king is a middle-aged man. His skin is not as dark as the people outside. Instead, it is very fair. His angular face has a unique temperament accumulated over time. There is a warm smile on the corner of his mouth. He does not look like him at all. A king is like the uncle next door.
However, Sumu and Su Mu's eyes did not focus on the king, but kept looking at the seven people sitting on the seats on both sides of the hall.
The clothes of these seven people are completely different from the citizens of the Kingdom of the Sea. Some are in suits and leather shoes, some are in sportswear, and some are wearing short skirts.
Obviously, these seven people are nightmare apostles!
The eyes of the seven nightmare apostles were also focused on the two Su Mu, but their eyes were strange, anxious, panicked, and even desperate.
But that's not entirely the case. Two of the seven people seemed to be in ruins, leaning on the seats with dull eyes. Behind them stood a pretty maid, rubbing their shoulders.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Yang, hello, I am the king of the Kingdom of the Sea. Of course, as a modern person, you can also call me by my name, Hu Jie." The king said with a friendly smile.
Yang Dongqing was stunned and blurted out: "You are from reality too!?"
King Hu Jie said bluntly: "Yes, I also come from reality. I am from the Longyuan Empire. I wonder which country among the seven empires you two come from?"
"Longyuan Empire?" Yang Dongqing was shocked. Even as a scumbag, he knew some basic common sense. The real world was ruled by seven empires, and the most powerful country among them was the Longyuan Empire.
"Red Flame Empire." Su Mu smiled.
"Oh? The Red Flame Empire? That's a coincidence. Among the Nightmare Apostles who came in this time, it seems that Miss Mu Qing is also from the Red Flame Empire." Hu Jie looked at the seven Nightmare Apostles, the only one wearing a short skirt. girl.
The girl in the short skirt frowned with her delicate eyebrows, as if she had something on her mind. She had no intention of speaking and just nodded politely.
Yang Dongqing glanced at Mu Qing curiously, with a flash of surprise in her eyes. Although Mu Qing looked cold, it did not affect her appearance at all.
Her face is small and delicate, her skin is fair, as if she is only the size of a palm, like a white porcelain doll, her long straight black hair is styled into a princess cut, paired with a red JK plaid skirt, and she is less than 1.6 meters tall. , very much like a girl from a comic book.
Yang Dongqing couldn't help but take a second look, thinking that she would also buy Jasmine a JK outfit when she went back.
"I know you two must be confused now, but don't worry, the dinner will start soon. Let's chat while eating."
Not long after, the servants in the castle began to bring plates of dishes, which filled the long dining table. It seemed to be a dazzling array of dishes, but if you look closely, you will find that they are basically fish, shrimp and other seafood, or wild vegetables and potatoes.
After everyone took their seats, the king began to speak slowly.
"You two don't have to be too restrained. I know it sounds incredible, but in fact, this dream island is not as scary as you think. It is different from the nightmares you have encountered before. It is safe and safe on the island. Without any nightmare monsters, the only threat comes from the sea.
You can even live here safely. "
Su Mu took a sip of the coconut wine unique to the Kingdom of the Sea and asked: "Mr. Hu, as far as I know, the nightmare apostle cannot survive in the nightmare world for a long time. Even if the current nightmare cannot be eradicated, it will automatically wake up and return to the real world when the time is up. , I wonder what you mean by a stable life?”
Hu Jie smiled slightly and was about to explain, but was interrupted by an excited nightmare apostle.
"What do you mean? He means we can't go back! None of us can go back to the real world, we can only live on this damn island forever!" The speaker was a young man in sportswear. He clenched his fists and looked ferocious.
"What did you say!?" Yang Dongqing suddenly stood up from his seat: "What do you mean you can't go back!?"
He was anxious because he wanted to go back more than anyone else, and Jasmine was still waiting for him.
The young man in sportswear said with an ugly face: "If you can't go back, you can't go back. Just ask him."
He pointed at the king, then stopped talking, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking one glass, he poured himself another glass, as if he wanted to drink away his sorrows.
Yang Dongqing looked at the king with some difficulty: "Mr. Hu, what do you mean by not being able to go back?"
"Hey." Hu Jie sighed: "Mr. Yang, I know it's hard for you to accept. It's hard for every nightmare apostle who comes here to accept it, but this is the fact. This nightmare is not the ordinary nightmare we have experienced in the past. It has been invaded by the power of Poseidon."
"What do you mean by being invaded by the power of the Sea God? What does this have to do with not being able to return to reality?" Yang Dongqing became more and more anxious. He had to go back!
"The Sea God is the god of the nightmare world. No one has ever seen Him, and no one knows what kind of existence He is. The only thing I know is that when the power of the Sea God invaded this dream, its connection with the real world was completely cut off. In the past, the nightmare apostles only needed to survive in the nightmare for a period of time, and then they would naturally return to the real world.
But due to the power of the Sea God, no one can go back." Hu Jie looked sad, as if he was recalling some past events.
"I don't believe it! What a bullshit Sea God, I must go back!" As Yang Dongqing's emotions fluctuated, he couldn't help but appear metallic.
"I can't go back." Hu Jie sighed, "Mr. Yang, do you know how long I have been here? Ten years! A full ten years!"
"What!?" Yang Dongqing was suddenly shocked. His first reaction was to disbelieve it. How could a nightmare apostle stay in the nightmare world for ten years?
He subconsciously looked at the reactions of other people around him, but found that everyone looked sad and no one questioned it.
"Yes, it was ten years ago. I entered this nightmare ten years ago. At that time, I was attacked by the undead siren. Their strength was not strong, but they could not be killed at all. I originally planned to kill all the nightmare monsters and then break the nightmare and return to reality. When I found that they could not be killed, I changed my strategy and waited for the time to come and automatically return. But I waited for a month, two months, even a year, two years, and I did not wake up from the nightmare.
During this period, many nightmare apostles came. Like me, they also couldn't wake up. We realized that this nightmare was a dead end and we couldn't go back at all.
Later, after years of exploration, we learned that the culprit of everything was the sea god. The sea god is the god of the sea, and the undead siren comes from him. His power affects this nightmare."
