Chapter 34: The Blood Rose (23)
The caterpillar is a man's height and sits on a throne.
As soon as it crawled out of the cocoon, it stretched out a thick, short, fat forefoot, and pulled out a hookah like a trick, smoking a cigarette, ignoring Wei Fengci and the slime under the throne.
Xiao Chang has not yet recovered from the strong contrast of momentum. Wei Fengci suddenly manipulated the imp under the throne and shot a flaming arrow at the caterpillar.
With a "ding" sound, as soon as the flame arrow touched the caterpillar's body, it bounced off like a plastic toy, and even the 1 point of damage that was forcibly deducted was invisible.
"Brother Feng! Why did you suddenly start a monster?! Xiao Chang was directly frightened.
"That's not a monster, it's an NPC." Wei Fengci said calmly.
Sure enough, after the caterpillar was attacked, it finally raised its eyes slowly and slowly spit out a puff of smoke at Wei Fengci's location.
"Is there something wrong? Travelers from other worlds. ”
"It's okay, just see if you can blow up your equipment." Wei Fengzi replied bluntly.
The caterpillar frowned, looked at Wei Fengci's tall troll appearance, and then looked at the imp under the throne who had no autonomous consciousness, and said in an old voice:
"Warlock...... A human offspring who sacrifices their souls to demons. Do you know what you've done? ”
"Brother Feng, this caterpillar has something...... Even the Queen of Hearts can't see through our transformation disguise...... "It's rare for a small change in IQ to go online." But Wei Fengci just smiled and responded to the caterpillar:
"That's a flaming arrow, a rule of bells and whistles."
The caterpillar naturally didn't understand Wei Fengci's stalk, he just knocked his pipe on the armrest of the throne at random, just this simple action, the terrifying number -9999 directly appeared on the head of the little ghost under the throne, turning into a wisp of green smoke and dissipating.
The caterpillar looked at Wei Fengci deeply and said in a deep voice:
"I am the 'truth.'"
As soon as he finished speaking, his name appeared above his head.
Truth, LV99.
"It's pretty casual to get a name." Wei Fengci smiled.
"Wonderland is the gap between reality and dreams...... There are rules that have their own in this world. Beings born here cannot lie, and the names we are given will also represent who we are. ”
The truth said slowly:
"My name is 'Truth...... So every word I say is the 'truth' of this world. ”
"So what?" Wei Fengci asked, "What kind of place is this?" Why are you here? ”
"Good question." Truth slowly narrowed his eyes and took a puff of his cigarette:
"Here...... It is the birthplace of the Exterminating Dragon, part of the 'Void', the Throne of Bones. ”
"What is the Dragon Slayer?" Wei Fengci asked.
"The existence of the Exterminating Dragon is similar to yours, and they are all creatures that do not belong to this world." When he heard the words of truth, Wei Fengci frowned slightly.
"The operation of Wonderland has its fixed rules, just like nature, which is eternal and unchanging. Whether it's the Queen of Hearts, the Queen of Chess, or the entire town of Draver, all the creatures here are destined to be born here, and each has its own predetermined life trajectory. ”
"The Queen of Hearts and the Queen of Chess, that is, the two princesses of the former kingdom, Iresbeth and Milana, they are destined to have conflicts because of an accident, so they are antagonistic, and the failure of the Queen of Hearts and being imprisoned in the underground world is also an inevitable result."
"Until one day, the Void invaded this world. Imprisoned underground, the Queen of Hearts signed a pact with the Dragon Slayer to free it from the Void and extradite it to Wonderland, in exchange for which the Queen of Hearts would be able to harness the power of the Dragon Slayer and reclaim everything she had lost. ”
Truth paused, and lit the throne beneath him with hookah:
"The Throne of Bones inhabited by the Exterminating Dragon has a huge evil power, and the poker soldiers who are teleported in will become more powerful and more violent."
Wei Fengci frowned:
"I can understand that the Dragon Slayer isn't here, it should be somewhere in Wonderland right now...... But why are you here? ”
"The reason is simple." Truth spits out a puff of smoke:
"The first thing the Dragon Slayer did after entering Wonderland was to find me and swallow me in his stomach."
Wei Fengci was stunned: "You can't beat it?" ”
The caterpillar narrowed his eyes slightly: "Sometimes, the truth can indeed kill...... But truth is not a rude and reckless man. ”
"You're all prisoners, and you're still stubborn here." Wei Fengci couldn't help but smile: "Since the dragon is so powerful, isn't Wonderland ten dead?" ”
The truth did not respond, it looked at Wei Fengci meaningfully, and after a while, said softly:
"Time passes very slowly in this space...... So, while in captivity, I also had a lot of time to think about things. I've found a way for the Exterminator to connect with the Atlas, and I'm ...... the same way Summoned you. ”
It was only at this moment that Wei Fengci finally understood the worldview of this copy.
"For thousands of years, Wonderland has been running steadily – like a train running on tracks. The battle between the Queen of White and the Queen of Hearts will also be a historical inevitability, but the invasion of the Exterminating Dragon has disrupted all this...... If we don't get everything back on track, the world will end. ”
Truth Says:
"So, I need your help, Traveler from another world...... Only you, who are also not part of this world, can have the ability to fight against the dragon. ”
"Not really." Wei Fengci smiled bitterly:
"I specialize in controlling the bells and whistles of the flame arrows can't even touch your hair, and you can't win the battle to destroy the dragon, so how can we win?"
"Not really." Truth shook his head and said:
"The Exterminating Dragon came from the Void, and that's why it was able to defeat me. No matter how powerful a creature is, if it enters another world, it will also be restrained by the laws of the world...... It is now being assimilated by the Wonderland, and its power is being weakened. ”
It paused:
"And now you have successfully crossed the path of the dead to the Throne of Bones. This means that when you return to Wonderland, you will also have a power similar to that of the Dragon Slayer who first arrived in Wonderland, which will be the key to defeating the Dragon Slayer. ”
"So we're going to be like those card people, covered in blue light?" Xiao Chang's eyes widened.
"The power conferred by the Void Society is unpredictable, and the possibilities vary from individual to individual. What kind of power is up to you to discover. ”
Truth twisted his massive body and slammed his pipe:
"It's about the same time. You still have a task to complete...... Remember what I say. If all goes well, maybe we'll see you again. As a deal to defeat the Exterminator, I will give you a chance to find out the truth about yourself...... The premise is that you can 'recall' the things you have forgotten......"
"Forgotten things...... Wei Fengci was stunned, and the system forced to switch to the first perspective again, and on his left hand, the name tag with his name written on it was shining.
"Wait......"
When I wanted to ask something more, the truth had already spit out a puff of smoke to Wei Fengci and Xiao Chang, and in the smoke, the vision in front of the screen gradually blurred......
