It was dusk when I saw Leonard again.

They are undergoing a new round of treatment in the stronghold of the Shimmering Gold Chamber of Commerce.

Although Zhu Jue had already eliminated a group of people in advance, their battle was still not very easy.

In addition to the previous wounded, this time there were a few more hanging colors, but fortunately, the personnel were neat and there was no combat attrition.

Therefore, the atmosphere is not bad, Rao is grinning in the process of bandaging, and most of the people still have smiles on their faces.

"Looks like it's going to turn out well?"

Taking the drink from the Chamber of Commerce employee, Zhu Jue sat down next to Leonard, his gaze lingering on his bandaged right arm.

"An arm for that bastard's life, no loss!"

Holding the wine bottle in his left hand, Leonard poured it very boldly, and then put two magic props on the table and pushed them to Zhu Jue.

"This is the reward promised to you before, and this time thanks to your help, otherwise I don't know how to end it. ”

"Can you help me send it to Neil City and hand it over to the Chamber of Commerce over there for safekeeping, and I'll send someone to pick it up later. ”

Looking at the stand-in puppet, Zhu Jue thought about using the teleportation channel of the Dream Brigade to send two things to the hands of the black swan.

After all, he didn't plan to use them now, and when he returned to the real world, he couldn't take these two things with him, and if he followed the path of the Shimmering Gold Chamber of Commerce, it would take him a week to get them, to say the least.

"No problem, we have something to send anyway, and it won't take much effort to mark it up with you when the time comes...... Actually, we can share the teleportation channel with you, as long as you promise me a few conditions. ”

For Zhu Jue's request, Leonard not only did not refuse, but put forward more favorable conditions, and after seeing the former's strength, he inevitably had some kind of idea in his mind.

"Don't think about it, I'm not going to join you. ”

The teleportation channel within the realm of this illusion is undoubtedly a special resource, and naturally it is impossible for outsiders to use it at will.

Leonard proposed sharing, and the implication was nothing more than to solicit Zhu Jue.

"You're not like the gentleman, he wants to take advantage of both sides, that's why he swings back and forth between us and the Dream Eater, but you've completely broken with the Dream Eater now......"

"Hey, the same reason I heard from you a long time ago, and you don't know the reply I asked her to give, even if you want to persuade me again, so you can change it to a new reason. ”

Interrupting Leonard's chatter, Zhu Jue waved to the waiting chamber of commerce employees as he spoke, and when the latter came over, he handed over a piece of paper, and then waved him away.

"Then I'll change to a more practical one, according to the information we have obtained, the recent mutations in the Dream Realm have become more and more frequent, simply put, there is a situation similar to the real world!"

Moving his ass twice and leaning closer to Zhu Jue, Leonard said in a low voice.

In order to recruit Zhu Jue, he also went out and prepared to take some "dry goods" out.

"You mean the Spiritual Pollution Source Monster?"

Zhu Jue quickly understood what Leonard meant.

"That's right, the members of our Dream Brigade often travel around the Dream Realm, and a large part of the time is spent looking for items that can help the soul awaken, so we often receive some special messages. ”

Speaking of this, Leonard took another sip of wine to moisten his throat,

"First of all, we have to understand that this world has always been full of monsters with spiritual pollution sources, and a considerable number of them overlap with the real world, such as ghouls and Shatak birds...... In fact, I've met merchants selling Shattuck's eggs before, and some of the more special or powerful people in the Dream Eaters use them as mounts, so if you come across such people in the future, remember to walk around. ”

"Don't digress, keep talking about mutations. ”

Reminded of it, Zhu Jue's mind couldn't help but recall the businessman he met in Fang Doushan's spatial rift five years ago.

He should be the guy with a special status that Leonard said.

Because his combat effectiveness is really average.

There were a lot of good things in his hand, which also made Zhu Jue come into contact with the dream realm for the first time at that time.

"In the past, these monsters from the source of spiritual pollution, whether it was a shatak bird or a ghoul, although they often appeared in some specific areas, and there were many witnesses in the realm of the dream, but there were never human beings who mutated because of them, maybe there were people who went crazy about it, but there were absolutely no mutants, so for a while we tried to study the reasons for this, of course, the result was nothing. ”

"And then?"

"Just in recent years, our people have found that the spiritual pollution source monsters that were originally not in the river water with the human well water began to consciously attack the human settlements, if it is just a single individual, it is easy to understand, after all, the forest is big and there are all kinds of monsters, but the problem is that the state of their display can no longer be defined simply by attack, more like aggression!"

"Tell me more, the monsters are starting to huddle?"

At this time, Zhu Jue's curiosity for knowledge had been unconsciously aroused by Leonard, and he couldn't wait to ask.

He had a vague feeling that he seemed to have grasped some key clue in Leonard's narrative.

The end of the fantasy world mentioned by the high-ranking priest who appeared in the dream during the dream inquiry of the members of the "Zero" organization in the Shenzhen-Hong Kong area.

Is it a hint at what's happening everywhere right now?

"Yes, we've seen large numbers of ghouls or night demons operating in other areas, but we've also found some even more terrifying phenomena in some areas that haven't been fully explored...... Have you heard of the City Without Gates?"

Perhaps in order to prove the truth of what he said, Leonard threw out a specific example.

"No door...... The city?"

Zhu Jue raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose to hide the surprised expression on his face.

If it weren't for the fact that no one knew about the previous conversation between Dillas and Lobelin except for the two of them, Zhu Jue even suspected that Leonard had eavesdropped on the conversation!

"It was a city in the Eastern Desert, about three years ago, and suddenly it became a dead land, not to mention people, not even animals, all the life forms living in it disappeared without a trace!"

At the mention of this, the expression on Leonard's face was a little gloomy, and he paused,

"We suspect that there are very special spiritual pollution source monsters in the local area, some of which are like the star colors that appeared near Yecheng in the real world five years ago...... You should always know Yecheng, the first city to have a cataclysm. ”

(You may not believe it, but not only do I know, but I am also a personal witness to the Star Lottery incident and the main trigger of the Yecheng cataclysm.) ）

Zhu Jue scolded in his heart, but the expression on his face was well concealed, but he nodded a little perfunctorily, indicating that he knew about it.

"Did you find anything about the Gateless City?"

When he was in the port of Dilas, Zhu Jue promised to help Lobelin investigate what happened back then, and now he happened to meet a possible insider, of course Zhu Jue couldn't let go of this opportunity.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it to you here. ”

At this point, Leonard is not ready to sell off, after all, what they know is only a small part of the content, and the investigation in this area has actually reached an impasse a long time ago, and there are no valuable clues, but some things still have to be emphasized,

"I can tell you part of the information as an extra reward for your help this time, but you have to promise not to share it with anyone. ”

"I have to say that I'm starting to take a fancy to your organization. ”

The energy of the Dream Brigade was indeed a little beyond Zhu Jue's expectations, and he couldn't help but praise him.

"Two years ago, the brigade organized an expedition to the city without gates, and after returning they searched for similar descriptions in our internal collection of dreams and the real world according to some local facts, and finally we found a related description in a special ancient book. ”

For Zhu Jue's praise, Leonard was obviously very useful, and it was estimated that there was also some effect of alcohol, and he couldn't take care of it as soon as he got up, and said in a muffled voice,

"It is located in the dark frontier that transcends time and space, rarely appears in the world, and the words that call it are so terrifying that not only can they never be spoken, but they must not even be remembered...... It's the ultimate corruption, and the moment it arrives, it's like generations have passed!"

Even if it was only a fragmentary story, Leonard still frowned when he came back to his senses, and slapped his mouth with some annoyance, probably regretting that he had mentioned this part so easily without any preparation.

Zhu Jue on the side suddenly noticed a special energy that suddenly appeared around him, and the stone bricks under his feet and the ups and downs of flying in the sunlight by the door suddenly felt a little unrealistic.

It seems that it will completely dissipate in the next second.

The conversation between the two ended abruptly, Leonard felt speechless, on the one hand, he felt that Zhu Jue's strength should be fine, and on the other hand, he was a little worried that his spirit would be damaged, so he was a little embarrassed, Zhu Jue quietly wrote down this passage, thinking about how to get more clues from the former's mouth.

"So what are you thinking about, do you want to join us?"

After a long silence, it was Leonard who started a new topic first.

"I'll be honest with you, it's impossible to join, I'm already having enough identities now, I really don't have the heart to join another organization, and I also have something very important in the real world in the near future, I won't stay too long in the dream world this time, and I'll be back soon. ”

Leonard made a good impression on Zhu Jue, so he was not ready to prevaricate him with ambiguous words, but chose to confess straightforwardly,

"But I hope to deepen my cooperation with you, my Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce also has some ability in the Dream Realm, and coupled with the spatial rift, it will definitely provide you with a lot of convenience...... I don't think you have time now, so when the matter here is over, let's find a chance to talk about cooperation, how about it?"
