Chapter 58: Dreams Are Not Dreams?
I don't know how long it has been.
Maybe it's a moment, maybe it's billions of years.
When her consciousness came back to life, Murong Ziying opened her eyes, which were already a little dull, and subconsciously or habitually looked around, and found that her familiar companions and teammates also appeared beside her, and she felt a little rare comfort.
Of course, it's just a glimmer...... He let out a long sigh, feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and his spirit seemed to be completely overdrawn. Rao was in his state of mind, but he also felt a deep sense of powerlessness and unsustainability.
The faces of the others were basically the same, they were all listless and unmotivated. Only Liu Mengli's expression was indifferent, there was no change, she was able to feed on her dreams, although she didn't know it, but it did seem to be constantly replenishing during this time, which was very beneficial to her growth.
As for the others, they are really tired.
Since this time...... No, maybe time doesn't matter anymore, anyway, they can't remember how many times they have been in different dreams, it's an unimaginably long experience.
Although it is not really how many years have passed, it is in a dream, the concept of time is originally vague, and it is the subjective feeling that really plays a decisive role.
Many people should have had this experience, that is, when they wake up from a sleep and wake up in a dream, even if they may have only squinted for a while, they always feel that a long time has passed, which is probably what it means - it makes people feel that it is not how long it has passed, but how they feel.
Moreover, the experience of their group of people during this period of time is inevitably too magnificent.
…………
They witnessed a battle to summon the ancient Heroic Spirits to fight a decisive battle to capture the Cauldron of Almighty, which is said to be able to grant all wishes, and the battlefield is also fought in the midst of strange and incomprehensible cities, hidden from the people.
In addition to the need for secrecy, it is also said that "the more people who know about the mystery, the less the effect of the mystery", so it is necessary to block these things and ensure that as few people know about them, the better.
The former Knight King was also summoned to participate in the war, hoping to capture the Holy Grail that would change the fate of Britain, and it was Alice Field's side that everyone had seen nine years before the beginning of this dream.
Although everyone felt contempt for the unscrupulous Emiya Kiritsugu, they still hoped that their group would be victorious. 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 beginning, and through a series of methods such as combining vertical and horizontal, illegal summoning, etc., the general trend was dominated. Even Artoria was captured, and Alice Phil eventually died as a vessel of the Holy Grail, destined for no good from the start.
And the worst thing is that the whole huge ritual is actually a conspiracy, and even the last Holy Grail is just a container for all the "evil" in the world......
…………
They have also entered a rather strange dream, in which there are no longer those puzzling future scenes, but a backward and primitive, more familiar ancient society, and it is also an era of ghosts walking at night and demons dancing wildly.
However, many inhuman things rely on human fear, and the strength of the gods is affected by this, and most gods tend to disappear when they lose their faith, which is a very strange phenomenon.
However, people who have experienced the previous scene and accepted the premise that "the more people who know about the mystery, the less the effect of the mystery" will be, they don't think there is any problem.
Despite the decline of the fear of heaven and earth, it was still an inhuman time in that dream, and there were countless ghosts and ghosts active on the earth. It didn't take much time for the group to find the center of the dream.
It was in a large lake, where a large number of inhuman things gathered together, waiting for the night of the full moon. It is said that it is a youkai named Yokai Sage, who summons the inhuman aliens who are active on the ground to discuss the plan, as if to open up new territory and invite everyone to fight together......
I don't know what happened next, after all, the scene was quite chaotic at that time, and this information was only a part of the chaos that spread in the chaotic venue.
Moreover, at that time, Murong Ziying was already furious when he saw so many monsters gathered together, and he was also suspected of discussing a shocking conspiracy to invade the human kingdom or something.
His character is destined for him to be unable to endure and watch such a thing happen. So he attacked blatantly on the spot, vowing to sweep away the demons, and return a bright world between heaven and earth, with no regrets!
And then......
Everyone was killed in an instant.
There was no attack, no collision, no fierce fight, it was just a figure in the center of the few slender figures at the moment they moved, and they looked at it so indifferently.
…………
It was the first and only time that everyone faced death in a dream.
After that, Murong Ziying became more reticent, but she also restrained a lot because of it.
There is a great terror between life and death, and even the impact of death in a dream is quite terrifying, which can temper the mind and leave a shadow. Maybe he hasn't changed his mind, but at least he is starting to think about whether his teammates will be dragged down by his actions.
And with the convergence of this sword immortal who is most likely to become an uncertain factor in the team, the dream after that has become much simpler, not that they really don't do anything, but they are still working hard to find hidden information clues in the dream, trying to crack and find the way.
It's just that at least you won't do it directly as soon as your brain is hot, and then make the dream instantly smart, attracting a terrifying counterattack correction.
What follows is a very long journey......
- They have entered a dream realm where parasitic monsters roam the streets, devouring human brains, and hiding in human society......
- They have also entered a completely strange world, and witnessed the sky crumbling, the stars in the void turning into great beings, and the ancient gods and demons awakening under the earth, leading to the dream of the end of the world......
- They also entered a dream memory just nine years ago, which happened to be the record of Ouyang Mingzhu's father being killed, and he was also taken out of his soul and brought to Jimo......
This journey feels really infinitely long, and everyone can be said to have gained a lot, whether it is mood or concept, the ability to deal with the world and other aspects have grown more sufficiently.
And they also vaguely figured it out, thinking that they and others might be shuttling back and forth in time, after all, they did find a lot of information in the dream, and on the whole, they all corresponded-
It seems that those modern scenes are the world thousands of years later, and the approaching ancient dreams are what happened in a foreign and distant land.
Only the two lost people know everything, but they don't say anything, because there is no need and no explanation for why they know so much, and the people behind the scenes obviously want to create the illusion of time travel in this world for these plot characters, and they feel that it is better not to tear down the stage.
But this still can't change the psychological fatigue of everyone, although they have not stopped, but so many times of "reincarnation" have really brought their body and mind to a limit.
……
……
Murong Ziying subconsciously looked around, and found that he and the others appeared in the interior of a modern building this time, standing in an empty corridor.
The glow of the setting sun was warm and warm, shining through the windows.
On the other side were empty rooms, and there were no people in them, as if there were only some tables and chairs stacked up, and I don't know what they were for...... The two lost people recognized the classrooms again.
So, what school building did they appear in this time? So whose dream is it this time?
Xiuyu subconsciously looked out the window in the distance, and sure enough, she saw the huge sports field under the sunset, there were many young and energetic students coming and going, and some laughing and playing sounds could be heard.
It made her feel a long-awaited, strange and yet familiar feeling.
And just outside the building, there are many boys and girls in school uniforms, laughing or sighing into the cool evening breeze...... It should have been something that could have been noticed immediately, but she was really tired and tired.
The body and mind are overdrawn to the limit, and the sensory perception and thinking response are much sluggish, just like the result of ordinary people staying up late for a long time to cultivate immortals, and it takes a few seconds to react to what is happening in front of them.
"This dream...... I don't feel anything of a dream. ”
Liu Mengli said softly, the girl who has always behaved relaxed and calm, her expression at this moment is quite dignified.
"What do you mean?" Murong Ziying asked subconsciously.
"It's not like the previous dream at all, and I can't tell if it's a dream or not, so if I come to the other world...... Liu Mengli said seriously, "If it's not bad as I expected, I'm afraid it's ...... We have arrived at the place where the man is. ”
“……”
“……”
Murong Ziying's face suddenly turned solemn, and everyone else also cheered up, is it finally time to see the real chapter?
Even if it's a good time, how many years has it been?! Well...... How long has it been coming? As soon as they thought of this question, everyone felt a trance, as if a long time had passed, and it seemed like it was just a blink of an eye.
But if you really get to the end of this journey, and then you have to meet the mastermind behind the scenes, I'm afraid that this scene is also very dangerous, not as peaceful as it appears......
Everyone subconsciously looked at Murong Ziying.
"Don't worry, I have my own measure......" Leng Jun Sword Immortal couldn't hold his face a little, and could only say with a tense expression.
The previous one was really an unimaginable horror, there was obviously no fireworks before the shot, not to mention that Murong Ziying didn't notice anything, and even the others didn't get any warning.
Neither of the lost people could have imagined that those delicate-looking figures were demigods—at least judging by the performance of the dream.
