Section 303 The Dream Man

Lu Wu came to his senses, and only then did he realize that he was not in the cave now.

After all, the cave was surrounded by earth and stones, and in fact, the entrance to the cave was still relatively narrow, with a maximum width of two or three people walking side by side, and the height was uneven, and you had to be short when turning.

And he's in a very weird space right now. Not to mention the earth and rocks that are close at hand, the surroundings are gray, like a fog, and nothing can be seen.

"Master, what's going on, where is this?" Lu Wu asked subconsciously. But unfortunately, this time he couldn't hear the master's voice in his ears. Lu Wu reached out to touch it, only to find that the Bluetooth headsets that had been hanging on his ears were gone.

What's going on?

He pondered what had just happened. Yes, just now he entered the cave, and at the bend of the cave, he was short to avoid a thing that protruded from the top of the cave, I don't know if it was a clod of soil or a stone or a tree root, and suddenly his eyes were dark, and then he found himself here.

But Lu Wu believes that this possibility is infinitely close to zero. And even if he did hit his head hard, he would still be in that cave or in the medical tent at Camp Thomas when he regained consciousness at this moment.

And it's weird all around. The cave he had just entered, although it was a cave, was clearly on earth, that is, in the material world. And here, he couldn't figure out if it was the earth.

There is a gray fog all around, and you can't see the border. In fact, not to mention the borders, you can't even see what is under your feet. I just feel that my feet are on the ground, and I can't confirm anything else. The surroundings were also quiet and terrifying, and no sound could be heard. It must be used as an analogy, but it reminds him of the inside of Holoera. Because of Amber and Dumb, Lu Wu has the opportunity to enter Holoera, which, according to Amber, is half spirit and half material, or is it half virtual and half real?

He walked forward and walked a little wayβ€”and he coughed a few times to break the dead silence of the world. But nothing worked, at least it seemed that everything he did didn't make sense. It's hard to say how far we've come, but the world doesn't see borders. Of course, Lu Wu also knew that this situation was likely to be going around in circles by himself - the left and right feet of humans are actually of different lengths, which means that if there is no way to judge the direction and just walk forward on their own, it is actually going around a big circle. This is well documented, and the ancients often encountered this situation in the desert.

I don't know how long it took, but in the end, Lu Wu's heart began to get anxious, and he shouted loudly: "Hey, is there anyone?"

No echo could be heard all around, his cries vanished, and the world remained dead silent.

"The master is gone...... How could the master be gone? And amber...... Am I being attacked? Or am I dead? Is this the world afterlife?"

Could it be that I accidentally crashed into a rock and killed myself? Although Lu Wu was very young, he had indeed considered his own death more than once. But this way of dying...... It's a little too ironic, isn't it?

Suddenly, he saw a hazy figure in the fog ahead. Although he didn't know who the other party was, whether he was friend or foe, Lu Wu still walked over there.

Then he saw a stranger.

A medium build, neither fat nor thin...... Well, how to put it, people with no characteristics. However, there is no need for more, just by seeing the condescending meaning in that person's eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up with a hint of sarcasm, you know that this person is not a friend, if not an enemy. No, it should be said, that hostility is actually quite obvious - not strong, but obvious.

"Who are you?" Lu Wu asked as he stood still.

"You should be...... Lu Wu?" the other party did not answer, but asked a question. "Well, it looks like it's the Governor of the Banshee Gate, I've seen your picture. Well, it's like. ”

"Are you...... Styranian?"

"Bingo," the other man snapped his fingers. "I guessed right, but unfortunately I didn't win a prize if I guessed right. ”

Having said that, the other party did not make any dangerous moves...... No, it should be said that some kind of vague intuition told Lu Wu that the other party couldn't do anything here.

"Oh, by the way, according to the polite rules of earthlings, I should introduce myself, that, my name is ......" the other party smiled. "Well, in fact, the name doesn't mean much, I have a Chinese ID card, and a passport, what is the name on it...... Sorry, I didn't really bother to memorize such inconsequential things. In this case, you can call me 'Dream King'. ”

"Dream King?" Lu Wu immediately realized something. "Here it is...... Dreams?"

"Your dreams, to be exact. The Dream King replied. "So you see, you don't have to look so nervous. It's a dream, I can't hurt you...... I've heard that there is this supernatural ability to kill people in dreams on Earth, but I don't want to see it. This power ...... It's terrible, killing people invisibly. If I had this power, I would ......."

As mentioned earlier, although the other side is hostile, this hostility is not very strong. Combined with what he said, Lu Wu faintly sensed a very bad taste. In fact, the more relaxed the other party's attitude and the more unscrupulous he became, the stronger the uneasiness in Lu Wu's heart. This attitude of the other party towards him...... It's no different from looking at the dead. It's obviously a hostile position, but the other party is polite to you and doesn't hide it without concealing it, which can only say that he thinks you are dead.

"Why do I dream?"

"Of course I pulled you in. The Dream King spread his hands and replied.

"Then I'm ...... now"

"I guess I fell asleep on the ground. Dream King said. "Slept soundly. ”

Lu Wu remembered the master's previous reminder that in that cave, there was a person who should be asleep. At first, he thought that the sleeping man must be a captive, but now he suddenly realized that the sleeping person was none other than the Moon Warlock himself.

Yes, the Stygian is waiting for him right here. It's understandable if Warlocks have some inexplicable messy superpowers (e.g., Rangers have the ability to hide the remnants of magic.) The Radiant Moon Warlock doesn't understand this ability at all), but why is he waiting here? shouldn't he ...... Even if he got the machine and forgot to remove the marker (the one in the sky that I don't know if it was a balloon), he should be on the way to search for the artifact right now, where is there any spare time to deal with the Radiant Moon Warlock!

"Why...... Will you be here?"

"If you're fishing, how can you fish when the fisherman isn't there?" asked the Dream King.

"Fishing, you're saying it's a trap?" There's nothing strange about the trap itself, but as mentioned earlier, the Dream King shouldn't have the time to do it right now. "......Why? Two of you, one with the artifact, and the other stays to set a trap and wait for the rabbit?"

"Waiting for the rabbit?" is obviously not proficient in idioms. However, this did not affect his understanding of Lu Wu's words. "You're wrong, I'm just one person. Ah, this kind of thing can't be more than a few people, right? One more person is one more risk of leakage. ”

This is in line with Amber's speculation, but Lu Wu is still puzzled. "Why?"

"Because the artifact was lost. The Dream King spread his hands again. "I don't know where it went. I don't have a choice. ”

"There's no choice? That artifact is precious, isn't it?"

"Very valuable and unique. The Dream King admitted. "You don't know how much effort the academics in our camp have spent...... However, it is completely unparse, let alone backward copying, and even the underlying principle cannot be found. Now there is only one one. ”

"Then you lost it......"

"The consequences are severe, beyond imagination. The Dream King sighed. "It can be said that if I am asked to bear the responsibility, then I will die, and nothing can save me. According to the understanding on Earth, it is almost possible to think that I am in a court-martialed court for malfeasance, and what about that court-martial...... In recent years, I haven't heard of anyone who has been charged with such a crime to get out alive!"

This is in line with Lu Wu's understanding, the Stygian Warlocks have never been known for being tolerant. Of course, the appearance of "devouring" also made them more severe and intolerable.

Lu Wu felt that it was a little toothache. If you lose your artifact and you're going to be executed, then what you should do is do your best to find it, instead of setting a trap here to deal with the Radiant Moon Warlock. Although the chances of finding it are not high, the latter is a suicide. Obviously, the great sin of losing an artifact can't be undone by killing a few enemies. Of course, if you want to say that killing a First Lawyer, it is also a peerless achievement, and you may be able to offset it, but no one can be sure that it is the First Lawyer. That's why both Lu Wu and Amber insist that this shouldn't be a trap.

It is impossible for a Lunar Warlock to have the leisure to set a trap, unless the loss of an artifact is a deliberate illusion.

"So," said the Dream King. "Since I can't find the artifact, then I think about it, the only way to survive is to keep this responsibility from falling on me. ”

But you are the carrier, and it is not your responsibility to lose the artifact, so whose responsibility is it?! Lu Wu opened his mouth, but this sentence was not spoken.

"When I came to Earth, I was quickly attacked by a large number of Radiant Moon Warlocks. Dream King said. "Although I resisted, after all, I was alone, weak, and faced with a strong enemy, I could only barely fight a bloody way through my best efforts, but the artifact fell into the hands of the enemy in a fierce battle...... If this is the case, then it is clear that the blame should not be placed on me, but on the man who sent me. Apparently she leaked the news, which led to this defeat. ”

Lu Wu suddenly understood where his mistake was. It can only be said that he does not know enough about the psychology of the Stygian Warlock. In other words, he lacks the experience of having no choice but to understand what a desperate person can do.
