Chapter 17: They Have Changed

A square with a strange circular pattern. When Lulunaka and they fell here, the place didn't seem to change. There are no depressions in the ground, no holes, only flat ground. But Lulunaka and they are gone, and a white mist fills the place.

Maybe it's Lulunaka and they fall and the ground returns to its original state, or maybe ...... The whereabouts were just an illusion on the part of Olga, none of them were here, no one asked questions, and no one knew the answers.

I don't know how long it was, but Patin appeared in the thick fog. He didn't look very good, and his face was full of exhaustion. Patin breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of himself in the white mistβ€”the unsettling pale fog was lovelier than anything he had ever seen, especially after experiencing what had happened before his eyes up until now.

How long has it been?Patin looked up at the sky, but all he could see was a thick fog, which completely covered the sky...... No, or rather, the fog enveloped him.

Patin lowered his head and looked at the ground. For him, the stone bricks on the ground are already something to be missed. He stomped on the ground hard, not the feeling of stepping on a hollow floor, and there should be dirt and rocks underneath, not empty. So is that feeling of falling really just an illusion? If it is an illusion, then where are the other people who should have been here now?

Patin looked around and couldn't see anyone but him. It didn't take long for Patin to see the others, though.

In the mist, a tall figure approached him, which made Patin a little nervous at first, not knowing what was coming. But after seeing the face of the person who came, he was relieved.

Coming closer is Olga. Patin felt like he hadn't seen Olga in a long time - though he didn't know if it was his delusion or if time had really passed in reality. But seeing Olga's appearance made Padin really feel like he might have disappeared for a long time.

Olga's old face didn't look any different from before, and in Pattin's opinion, if there was anything different from before, it was probably because Olga's expression was different from before. Olga's face gave Patin a strong feeling, and the old man in front of him, in this strange environment, his expression was too calm and peaceful.

"Should I say it's been a long time? Edgar. Olga spoke to Patin first. When Patin heard Olga's words, his heart relaxed a little. The old man in front of him should not be a fake, and it seems that Olga and his experience are similar.

"How long?" asked Padding.

"I can't see the dawn...... Burning night. Olga replied.

Patin didn't seem surprised by Olga's strange answer, he just shook his head, "I'm in an enclosed space where I can't even see the sky, I don't know how long it has been, and my sense of time has become dull and blurry. ”

"It wasn't a short time. Olga said.

"But it seems to be just an illusion of illusion. "So, how long have we been in reality?"

Olga was silent for a moment before continuing, "Maybe it's just a ...... Dream. But the dream is real, and it seems to be different for you and me. ”

"If it's just a long dream, you and I seem to have changed a little. Patin said.

"Looks like you can feel it too. Olga said. Patin nodded, "Where is the person who caused us to have a strange 'dream' now?" he asked, looking at the fog around him, "Or did she fall into her own hallucinations too?"

"There is no doubt that this must have something to do with her. Olga's hand touched his waist, and the hilt of his sword was no longer hot, but as cold as a piece of ice. "Only by finding her can we know the answer. ”

"I don't know if I'll have the courage to question her, Olga. Patin said, looking a little sluggish, "I'm not as ignorant as I was yesterday, and I'm more awake than I was yesterday...... Because of this, there are more things that can be felt, and about Lulunaka...... It's even more frightening. Patin looked at Olga, "What kind of mood would you be in by your words?"

Olga was silent for a moment before answering Pattin, "At least, I hope she can stop playing with other people's lives." ”

"She's already doing that. Patin said.

The two hadn't talked for long, and now that Julius and Lulunaka were gone, it wasn't a good time to talk. They still hadn't figured out what Lulunaka had done to send them into a strange illusion β€” or a dream β€” of what Julius was doing and what Lulunaka was doing now, all of which Olga was worried about.

Olga heard a strange noise coming from a building somewhere around this square. He followed the prestige, and in the fog, the barely visible silhouette of the building was not far away, which convinced him that he was indeed back in reality.

Patin also heard the movement and looked over there with Olga. "I hear you. Patin said.

"Me too, sounds like Julius's voice. Olga said, and walked quickly to the making noise, with Patin following him.

As soon as Olga walked in, she met Julius. Julius sat down against the wall, his legs straight and his head tilted to the side, looking like a position only for a wounded man.

"It seems that people have not really disappeared. "And where is Lulunaka?"

"I don't know. But let's solve the problem at hand. Olga said, walking over to Julius and crouching down. Julius closed his eyes as if he was asleep, and Olga shook his shoulders vigorously, unresponsive. "If he's dreaming, it's too unremarkable. "It's not like a nightmare, it's not like a dream." ”

"If you say that, it seems like you're doing a nightmare. Patin said, "Can you wake him up?"

Olga tried, and even slapped Julius the face, but to no avail. "No, it seems that this dream is not so easy to get rid of. ”

"Maybe he'll have to be like you and me, and he will wake up on his own. ”

"I don't know if he can do it on his own. Olga said, looking at Pattin, "You and I can, it doesn't mean that he can bear it as a child." ”

At this time, a purple mark appeared on Julius's forehead. Olga reached out and touched Julius's forehead, which made Julius's skin sink slightly, and he touched the side of Julius's head and the back of his head, touching the same marks.

The purple mark looked like a head ring that had been placed on Julius's head.

Julius, with his eyes closed, turned up at the corners of his mouth and smiled, looking like he had a good dream. But Olga doesn't think Julius's dream is a good dream, it should be a nightmare disguised as a sweet dream.

Patin also saw something in Julius' head, "It feels bad, it's definitely not a good thing." "Whatever happens to him in his dream world, if it goes on like this......

"I've got to wake him up. Olga said, and then pressed his palm against Julius's head, "God knows what he's seeing now, but the worst is better than seeing Lulunaka in a dream." ”

"I watch over you and Julius. Patin said, then sat down cross-legged near the doorway, "If Lulunaka shows up...... Hopefully she'll help this kid. ”

"I hope so. Olga closed his eyes, and his eyes glowed white, piercing through his eyelids and landing on Julius' tightly closed eyes.
