Volume 2 Eternal Sleep Chapter 43 The Third Night
When Lin Mo woke up, she opened her eyes and saw the familiar ceiling of the hotel room, she turned her head to look in the direction of the door, Ai Yu had her back to her, there seemed to be another person in front of her, the two of them were talking about something, Ai Yu looked very excited.
Lin Mo frowned, feeling that her throat was dry, so she opened her mouth slightly, and said in a slightly hoarse and small voice, "Water ......"
There was a loud bang on the right, Zhao Xiao suddenly stood up from the chair, the chair fell to the ground because of such a big action, he hurriedly helped the chair up, rushed to the table to pour water, "Sister Lin, are you awake?" I'm going to pour you water!" ”
Because of this movement, Ai Yu turned her head sideways, she met Lin Mo's gaze, and walked to Lin Mo's bed in three steps and two steps, she held Lin Mo's hand, "Are you okay?" How does it feel? Is there anything else uncomfortable? ”
Yin Weiyu also stood beside her bed, and Lin Mo realized that the person who was talking to Ai Yu at the door just now was her.
Lin Mo sat up with the help of Ai Yu and Yin Weiyu, she leaned against the head of the bed, took the warm water handed over by Zhao Xiao and drank two sips, and then raised a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, it's no big deal." ”
Ai Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lin Mo's face carefully, and made sure that she was indeed in good shape, so she let go of Lin Mo's hand that was holding tightly, "Dinner time is almost coming, are you going to the restaurant with us or will I bring you something back to eat." ”
Lin Mo remembered the situation he met in the White Rose Garden in the afternoon, and the fact that he saw the injured Xu Qingran Jiang Xian and Shen Junyao before he fell unconscious, and decided to go to the restaurant with them to eat and discuss the situation.
"I'll go with you."
"Why don't you rest in your room? Ai Yu and I can bring things back to you later. Yin Weiyu asked worriedly.
Lin Mo shook his head, already struggling to get out of bed, Ai Yu saw that her appearance was unstoppable, so he stopped talking. Yin Weiyu stepped out of the room first, as if she was going to knock on the doors of other rooms to call someone.
For dinner, there was a rare Chinese cuisine, fragrant roast duck, golden fried squirrel fish, shredded potatoes with green peppers, shredded pork with sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy chicken and tomato omelette, everyone had a bowl of white rice in their place, even the cutlery was replaced with chopsticks and spoons, and the knives and forks had long been removed.
Jun Yao picked up the chopsticks in her hand with some hesitation and stared at this table of Chinese food for a long time.
It's really customer first, and we listen to their opinions......
Jun Yao retracted her gaze and was about to pick up the vegetables when she felt a slightly hot gaze, so she turned her head to look to the right, only to see Xu Qingran looking at her intently. When he met Jun Yao's eyes, Xu Qingran was obviously flustered, he raised his hand and rubbed his hair, and looked out of the door in embarrassment.
"Wow! Today is actually Chinese food! Chen Yang said happily, he immediately ran to his seat, behind Chen Yang were Zhao Xiao, Ai Yu and Lin Mo, Ai Yu deliberately chose a position next to Lin Mo to sit down, Xu Qingran looked at the necklace around Lin Mo's neck, and then asked, "Is your body okay?" ”
Lin Mo smiled slightly, shook his head, and picked up the chopsticks placed on the table, "It's okay anymore, please don't worry." ”
Everyone was very satisfied with this dinner, not only because they hadn't eaten Chinese food for a long time, but also because the taste of this dish was so authentic, so good that they didn't have to be picky, and it was basically at the level of the God of Food Competition. It seems that the system is well prepared in terms of eating and does not intend to treat them harshly.
When the last person put down the chopsticks, he realized that the meal had been eaten for almost an hour. Xu Qingran cleared his throat and was ready to start a heavier topic, "This afternoon's harvest is not big, but it is not small. I didn't expect this garden to hide such a murderous ......."
Xu Qingran didn't say anything halfway through his words, he looked at Lin Mo, obviously giving her the right to speak, Lin Mo nodded, and was as good as a stream, "At the beginning when you decided to take the lead in entering the White Rose Garden to see the situation, I didn't feel any danger, but after you, Jiang Xian, Jun Yao and Ai Yu moved one after another, I suddenly felt a very strong spiritual pressure, and the system prompted me that I was an ethereal spirit, and the danger level was extremely dangerous, and then the figures of the four of you began to become blurred." My immediate reaction was that it was a spatial warp, and the Ethereal Spirit was very weak when using the spatial warp, so I attacked at that time, hoping to seriously injure it while it was weak, so as to achieve the purpose of pulling the four of you back to the real world. ”
"It's just that I didn't expect the power of this ethereal spirit to be so strong, I even injected the power of the spirit medium when I used Kagura Bell to attack, but this ethereal spirit can still fight against me for five or six minutes, and when I think I can't stop it, it suddenly escapes, as if it's hiding from something." Lin Mo continued, "This ethereal spirit ...... I can feel that it is not the same ethereal spirit we met before, maybe not the same ethereal spirit, after all, the witch who rules Eternal Sleep Town cannot have only one slave, but it is also possible that it is the one we met before, but he is stronger. All in all, even this ethereal spirit in an extremely weakened state with space warp cannot be fought against it, and it has left for some unknown reason, perhaps because there is something more important to do, such as killing you. ”
"The Ethereal Spirit has distorted space, so we're entering its other dimension?" Xu Qingran asked, Lin Mo nodded, affirming Xu Qingran's guess, "Can the ethereal spirit have two different spaces at the same time?" ”
"It's not just ethereal spirits, demons and monsters, and even gods that can have different dimensions. The stronger the power, the more different spaces can be created, but the different spaces also need to consume power, so what we generally encounter is a different space, but it doesn't mean that they can't create more. ”
Xu Qingran nodded, "The different space that Jiang Xian and I entered is obviously not the same as Jun Yao and you, at the beginning we found that you had all disappeared, and we remembered the Senluo illusion we met in the bell tower in the morning, so I tried to go back the same way, but when I saw that Jiang Xian could continue to use her prop umbrella sword, I understood that this was not Senluo's illusion." We saw Avarice, the Lord of Greed, in this alternate dimension, and she was angry that we had trespassed without permission, and she attacked us. After all, it is the power of the gods, Jiang Xian and I are mortals, so naturally we can't fight against her, but fortunately, my golden pupil is an item of the thunder god Thor, and it can be regarded as the power of half a god. ”
"But Avarice doesn't seem to be planning to kill us, in fact, her attacks are deliberately controlled, and the last white rose that hurts you is initially aimed at your heart, but I see Avarice's wrist flip slightly, and then the flower is deflected and pierced into your arm." Jiang Xian said, she sighed, "What role did this Lord of Greed, Avarice, play in this mission, in the incident of the child's disappearance?" She appears in front of us frequently, and as a relatively terrifying hidden boss, she has no murderous intent for us。。。。。。 That's weird too! ”
"Jun Yao, what happened to you? I see you're hurt too. Xu Qingran shook his head, he couldn't answer Jiang Xian's question, how could he guess what Avarice was thinking, if he could understand her so little, how could they fight?
Jun Yao talked about what happened to her, "Actually, I had a dream last night, it was a very strange dream, I dreamed of Avarice and Elizabeth. ”
As soon as Jun Yao said this, everyone was shocked, and they didn't know if they were surprised that she could still have dreams related to characters during her mission, or that she was frequently involved with the hidden character Avarice.
"You dreamed about something between them? Be...... About what? Ai Yu's tone of voice became cautious for some reason, Jun Yao glanced at her, and described her dream as a rough one, "In the dream, I was standing in the rose garden, I saw Elizabeth walk into the garden, Avarice greeted her, so the two of them sat in the gazebo and talked, they said a lot of things I didn't understand, but the word I heard the most was 'reincarnation'." ”
"Reincarnation?"
"It seems that Elizabeth is solving a problem about 'reincarnation', and Avarice is also being troubled by a 'reincarnation'." Jun Yao reasoned, and she went on to talk about what she was injured about, "Ai Yu, you also heard it at the time, and I said 'I've been here before', because the position I was standing at that time was exactly the same as the perspective I had when I dreamed last night. I was about to explain my dream to you, only to find that you were gone, and then Avarice appeared. ”
"You met Avarice, too?" Xu Qingran felt incredulous, obviously Lin Mo said that this alien space was created by the ethereal spirit, so it should belong to the ethereal spirit, but whether it was the alien space that Xu Qingran and they entered, or the alien space that Jun Yao and the others entered, they did not meet the ethereal spirit or its owner witch, but Avarice appeared in the two alien spaces. It's so strange that Avarice has completely suppressed the Ethereal, so it can be said that it can run rampant in its other dimensions, but since Avarice is already so powerful, isn't it easy to take back the power of Eternal Sleeptown? So why is Eternal Sleep still the way it is?
"Yes, I was supposed to trespass without permission, but she didn't blame me or become hostile to me, and she even invited me to sit down with her for tea." Jun Yao looked puzzled, which made Lin Mo frown, as if he was thinking about something.
I sensed that she wasn't going to kill me, so I asked her what her intentions were. I've also said before that Avarice was the final boss I met in my last mission, and I saw through the fact that she had set up a dead end, and I exposed it in front of everyone, so that we all survived, as the light rain can prove, after all, she was also in that mission. ”
Yin Weiyu nodded cooperatively, expressing affirmation, "That's true." ”
"So Avarice didn't like me at least, but she saved me again and again. I was curious, so I asked her why, and that's when Avarice suddenly said someone was coming, and she left. I returned to the original different space, I saw Ai Yu motionless, and was about to step forward to see your situation, when I saw the masked man we saw in the clock tower standing outside the garden not far away, he attacked me without saying a word, so I used my props to barely fight him, but I was too weak, one was injured by his scythe without paying attention, I thought I was dead, but suddenly the rose petals in the garden gathered and surrounded the masked man, and then the masked man disappeared. Then I saw Ai Yu return to his original state, and you all know what happened after that. ”
Jun Yao's experience made everyone stunned, Jiang Xian seemed to be the first to react, she slowly spoke, "When Avarice fought with us, he kept manipulating the rose petals, which means that the rose petals we met when we entered behind the white light were also controlled by Avarice, she wanted to prevent us from entering here at first, so inference, you said that you couldn't beat the masked man, just when you thought you were dead, The Rose Petals surrounded the Masked Man and he vanished, all done by Avarice. ”
"She's helping you." Jiang Xian said affirmatively.
The subtext of her words is - why is she helping you.
Jun Yao heard Jiang Xian's words, but she couldn't answer, so Jun Yao was silent, and everyone was silent.
At this time, Xu Qingran suddenly spoke, "Actually, I have a doubt, the tasks we received and the stories behind the missions all follow strict realistic cognition, just like Eternal Sleep Town now maintains a medieval style, so the frequent appearance of the witch element is even the ultimate key to the mission." Another example is the task "Caged Bird" that Lin Mo and I completed before, which is set in the Japanese shogunate period, so the historical figures that appear are all real and from that era. But now what we're going to happen to me makes me a little confused. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"If the information given by Jun Yao can know that Avarice is the lord of greed, the god in charge of greed among the seven deadly sins, and the source of the seven deadly sins is the Bible, that is, Christianity, then its mythological system is Christian mythology. But while I was fighting Avarice, she saw that my golden eyes belonged to Thor, and she said that she knew Thor. However, Thor is a god under the Norse mythological system, and the Norse mythological system and the Christian mythological system are two independent systems, and according to common sense, they can never intersect. ”
Jiang Xian laughed softly, "Perhaps, it's a but, or maybe what we know is not the truth of the story, and what this system task shows us is the real story?" ”
Lin Mo looked at the time of the clock hanging on the wall, and looked at Xu Qingran, "It's not too early, everyone has been tossing for so long today, it's time to go back and rest, right?" Are you going to carry out that plan tonight? ”
Xu Qingran thought for a while, "Although we have fallen into an undetectable sleep for two consecutive nights, and we haven't been able to find the difference between us and the residents of the town today, but let's take a gamble and try again, after all, there are only three things, if it is the same today, we will find another way." ”
"Okay, let's do it for now, let's go back to our rooms and have a good rest, tomorrow we have to do our best, after all, we don't have much time."
