If the first layer of dreams is considered an ordinary dream, then this so-called second layer of dreams is a complete nightmare.

And it's the kind that doesn't drive people crazy and never stops.

The sound of ticking water droplets like a demon's whisper has been lingering in Tsukizakura's ears, and it sounds good at first, but after a long time, it is enough to make people irritable. The air was filled with a stench that came from nowhere, like a corpse that had been decomposing for days. As for the things that can be seen, they are all full of strange patterns, and when Tsukizakura wants to look at those patterns carefully, she is stopped by the new moon.

"If you don't want to go crazy here, don't focus on that. Shuoyue said.

Although Yueying didn't want to pay attention, everything here had those inexplicable lines, and it was impossible not to see it, so Yueying could only try to look everywhere so as not to focus her eyes in one place for too long.

"Ah yes, don't you have shoes?" "Tsukizakura looked at Shuoyue walking in front, "That's it...... It's dirty. ”

Tsukizakura, who was wearing shoes, felt extremely disgusting when she stepped on this sticky road, and the road under her feet was sticky, because of the smell, it always reminded people of something that was not very good. Shuoyue was still wearing her red and white witch costume, but she was barefoot, and her snow-white legs were exposed like this, which was usually very pleasing to the eye, but in this kind of place, she was simply defiling herself.

"I haven't worn a shoe in 10,000 years, and that's okay. ”

“…… Why don't you give you my shoes?"

"Just you?" "Shuoyue gestured at Tsukizakura's height, "What did the little boy who only came to my shoulder say, your shoes must be smelly and not easy to wear!"

Yueying opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to refute it, so she had to give up in the end.

"Is there any enemy here?"

"It's not hard for you to deal with, but well, it affects your spirit. Shuoyue pointed to the short sword on Yueying's waist and said, "Don't use your knife, use me." ”

"This is the sword ......" Tsukizakura muttered, holding the New Moon Short Sword in her hand, "Is there anything special?"

"Don't get lost, follow me, and don't get hurt. Shuoyue strode forward, and Tsukizakura had to speed up her pace, "This is different from the first layer, everything here is out of your control, it is impossible to recover from injuries, and if you die, you are really dead, and you will be trapped here forever." ”

"How can you be trapped when you die?"

Shuoyue seemed to be very annoyed why she had found this stranger with an unclear mind, but she couldn't help but explain to him: "Man has a soul! After death, the soul will be trapped here, and it will never be reborn!"

"I don't think I have to think about this after I die...... And if you still feel dead when you're dead, are you still dead?"

Faced with Yueying's question, Shuoyue couldn't answer for a while, so she could only knock the former's head in anger as an end.

Then, while Tsukizakura was very aggrieved around her head, the first wave of enemies appeared.

Basically, these enemies are basically evolved versions of the two special monsters encountered on the first layer - larger, more terrifying, and of course more disgusting.

Disgusting to the point that Tsukizakura didn't want to attack it at all.

"I'm fine, but Sister Shuoyue, do you have to stay away?"

"Joke, I'm the shrine maiden of the silver moon, and I'm 10,000 years before you in the fight!" "Shuoyue generously showed her disdain for Tsukizakura, and gave her middle finger to the monster that was rushing this way.

Then, under Tsukizakura's frightened gaze, she punched the approaching monster away.

"What are you doing with those eyes?"

"Aren't you supposed to be a spell department!" Tsukizakura shouted as she cut off the head of the second monster with a sword.

How can the shrine maiden be a hand-to-hand combat department, and it looks very neat!

"That's you little devil who doesn't know much! all the witches of my time fought like this!" "Shuoyue just played a set of combos that directly beat the monster facing her into mud, and her proficiency seemed to be stronger than Fiai's, and she didn't dislike the monster's juice splashing herself. "If I had a body, my mother would be able to hammer you into scallion pancakes!"

"There were scallion pancakes 10,000 years ago?" asked Tsukizakura in surprise after sweeping away the remaining monsters.

"You only have food in your head?" "Shuoyue shook her hair and licked her lips with her tongue, "Although I haven't eaten anything in 10,000 years!"

Tsukizakura shrugged her shoulders and said no to it.

Then, move on.

According to the topography, the place where the two of them are located is probably a small town, but there are no intact buildings here, either they have collapsed, or they are covered with sludge, and the so-called road is actually a low-lying land with less sludge than the knees.

And those monsters will run out from anywhere, but after a few hundred meters of advancement, they have already beaten no less than thirty monsters.

"I have something to warn you about. ”

"What?"

"I can be longer. ”

"Huh?" As soon as Tsukizakura made a questioning sound, the Satsuki short sword immediately turned into a two-handed giant sword, and its suddenness almost made Tsukizakura's jaw drop.

"This kind of change can be done in reality, and it is the proud skill of this shrine maiden. Shuoyue said like a child showing off his collection, "Then, don't be afraid to break it, use it hard, the soul sword is not something that will break casually." ”

"That's right. ”

"The same goes for your prosthetic hand. ”

“……”

"Don't think of your prosthetic hand as too precious, it's not good for fighting. "As a human spirit who has lived for 10,000 years, Satsuki can see at a glance what is wrong with Tsukizakura - the latter is afraid of damaging her prosthetic hand, is too conservative in battle, and prefers to save her left side, which is a great flaw in the eyes of experienced enemies.

It was because of this that Rokara was able to cut off Tsukizakura's head with a single sword.

"But—"

"I said yes, just do it! When you fight, you have to do your best, and your worries must be left behind, and if you die, you will have nothing!" Shuoyue scolded: "The soul is not such a fragile thing, are you underestimating the technology of our Silver Moon Clan!"

"I mean—there's another enemy. ”

The Shuoyue Sword, which has changed into a two-handed giant sword, is easier to cut monsters, at least you can have more than one sword, and you don't have to cut them one by one like a short sword, and Yueying likes it a lot.

In fact, the problem that Shuoyue said, Yueying is also a little aware, but this kind of problem can not be solved overnight, Yueying herself can do anything, but when it comes to the blue moon, Yueying doesn't dare to bet.

Along the way, although there are many monsters encountered, but in fact, the strength is not very good, although there is a sense of collective attack, but there is no skill, it is not difficult for Yue Sakura and Shuoyue.

And where they stopped, it was in the corner of a half-collapsed wall.

Here, lying a corpse, not decomposed, but still disgusting because it was mostly submerged in sludge.

Shuoyue knelt beside the corpse, wiping the mud off his face and revealing the corpse's face—a man in his forties, who appeared to have died in great pain.

"You know?"

"The first pilgrim to arrive here, and the 416th pilgrim, you are the second. Shuoyue explained, "He's stronger than you, it's just bad luck." ”

When Shuoyue stood up, she held a white misty sphere in both hands, and in the center of the sphere, there were some black points of light mixed with it, which looked weird.

"What is this?"

"His soul, fortunately, is not completely polluted, and I will take him out. Shuoyue put this group of souls into the Shuoyue Sword and clapped her hands, "Okay, I'm done with what I'm going to do, let's move on." ”

"But before that...... These guests have to be addressed. ”

Because staying in one place for too long—long is defined as more than a minute—the monsters gathered towards the two of them again.

"I agree. ”
