Chapter 292: Dream and Reality (2-in-1)
"It's the cabbage!"
A second later.
Xing Fei was so frightened by the face that he had no facial features that his soul almost left his body and returned to his place. I saw that his lips trembled slightly, and he finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.
In a trance, he seemed to understand something.
When Xing Fei was shocked.
Irin chuckled lightly and directly raised his knife to kill the faceless man.
Laugh at!
Yi Rin didn't use any bells and whistles, and this knife slashed straight at the faceless man's neck, cutting his throat with a single sword.
When Yi Rin made a move, Xing Fei's face sank, after all, he was also an experienced apostle. After being surprised, Xing Fei's hands wearing pure white gloves slammed into the metal frame beside him.
On the back of the glove, the circular texture flashed, and the metal frame was actually decomposed and reorganized by the light in the blink of an eye, and two delicate daggers appeared in Xing Fei's hands.
"Refined!"
But Xing Fei had just had time to refine it into a weapon out of thin air, and Yi Rin's knife had already chopped off the faceless man's head with no facial features, as smoothly as chopping melons and vegetables.
The imaginary scene of blood rushing did not appear, the head rolled in the darkness to the point where it did not know, and the faceless man who had lost his head seemed to have no pain at all, and grabbed Irin with his backhand.
The two hands suddenly stretched out and twisted, and the five fingers turned into sharp claws, tearing at Irin's head and chest, respectively.
Although melee combat is not Rin's forte, before Irin's mental attributes have grown to this point, most of them have relied on a handful of blood jasmine to maneuver around the monster pile. As long as the monster is too outrageous, Irin's melee ability can make him not fall behind to some extent.
Irin snorted, and in an instant, he flew up and kicked at the Faceless Man...... Ah no, now the chest of the headless man bounced backwards with the shock of the flying kick.
Now that Irin's dual attributes of force and agility are available, even if he can make a cameo appearance as a melee apostle, he will not be easily seen by others. At the very least, Xing Fei still thinks that Yi Rin is an authentic agile side apostle, after all, the way Yi Rin is currently fighting, except for moving the knife or moving the knife, there is no sense of disobedience.
Irin's strength attribute is not weak. But when the kick hit the headless man's chest, the headless man didn't move, and the terrifying shock force came along the soles of his feet, giving Irin the illusion that he had kicked the reinforced alloy plate.
"Let me come!"
Since it is a monster killing, Xing Fei has nothing to be afraid of, as long as he can touch it, it is a monster.
As long as it's weird, there's a blood bar.
As long as there is a blood bar, even if it is a god, you may be able to kill it.
The apostle's idea was as simple and crude as that.
Compared with the traps of various cheats in the trial, for the apostles, the monsters that can be killed are cute.
When he landed, Xing Fei was full of pride, ready to fight with Yi Rin for three hundred rounds with the headless man in front of him.
"Let's go!"
Walk?
Xing Fei rolled up his sleeves for a moment, and his expression was suddenly stunned.
Yi Rin saw Xing Fei carrying two small daggers, his expression was about to move, and when he quickly crossed Xing Fei's side, he kindly reminded him.
In the narrow room, the two of them couldn't use it, and as soon as Yi Rin broke through the door, the headless man couldn't catch up with Yi Rin, so he could only pounce on Xing Fei.
On the face without facial features, two faint black lights appeared at the position of the eyes, which was extremely terrifying. The two arms are as soft as bones, thrown into propellers, like two soft tentacles, which makes people think about it.
I'm thinking of a ghost!
Xing Fei didn't even have time to say a word at this moment, so he slammed the door shut before the headless ghost pounced. At the last moment, Xing Fei activated his ability again, and the light on the crack of the door flashed, and the door frame and door were welded together, and they could no longer be opened.
He slowly breathed a sigh of relief after he expertly welded the door to death.
"That headless man, it feels a little fierce."
Wait a minute.
Headless?
Something seems wrong?
Xing Fei recalled the last scene that came into his eyes, and the breath that had just been relieved was suddenly lifted again, and it went straight to the Tianling Gai, turning into boundless cool air and exhaling out of his mouth.
"That, that, that, that faceless head, it's growing out again!"
No wonder he saw that horrible face again!
After Yi Rin saw Xing Fei "welding" the door to death, he looked at this side from a distance, thoughtful.
"What the hell is this monster? Feels a bit like the cabbage that the kid painted? ”
Xing Fei gasped slightly, shocked.
In fact, the monster itself is not terrible, but a good person, suddenly turning his head, there is no face on his head, this is caught off guard, and normal people will be startled.
It's like watching too many supernatural movies, as long as there are some new episodes and unexpected scenes, they can still scare people into adrenaline rushes.
Irin's silence was momentary, then he said, "Be confident." Remove the words 'sort of'. ”
"Won't it?"
Xing Fei subconsciously clenched the brand-new factory dagger, and a ridiculous thought flashed through his mind.
He suddenly remembered that although the time in the room just now was short, there was a lot of movement. The kid who is not very good at painting actually didn't even react at all, and was still lying on the bed and sleeping, which is very scary to think about.
Irin's nodded: "Whether it's last night's stars or this faceless man, it's likely that they were born because of Allen." ”
"How is that possible? No...... It's really possible. ”
Xing Fei first subconsciously said, and then immediately shook his head, his eyes flashed, and he refuted himself.
In trials, anything is possible.
The more outrageous something is, the more likely it is to happen.
"And ......"
Irin suddenly looked at the door that seemed to be welded to death, and continued, "I have reason to suspect that this door can't stop that guy at all." ”
As soon as the words fell.
A hand, eerily through the door, reached out from behind it.
"! Through the wall? ”
Xing Fei's pupils shrank suddenly, and he screamed straight to the groove, without hesitation, and ran directly towards where Yi Rin was.
He looked back.
The headless man strangely walked through the door and appeared in front of the two.
In the darkness, two faint black lights flashed on the faceless man's face, blending in with the pitch-black background.
Xing Fei spoke extremely quickly and muttered to himself: "No entity? No, it can't be, but just now, you kicked him? Could it be an 'indeterminate quantum state'? When the sense of existence of the quantum state is weak enough, it can penetrate everything, and when the sense of existence of the quantum state is strong enough, no force can destroy the existence of the headless monster? It's too buggy, right? It's incomprehensible! ”
Yi Rin looked at Xing Fei strangely.
What the hell is he talking about?
Quantum mechanics?
"Follow me!"
Irin already had an idea.
Without saying a word, he swept upstairs.
Upstairs?
Isn't it caught in an urn?
But—
Xing Fei looked at the door and looked up the stairs again.
Gritting his teeth, he finally decided to trust Irin's judgment.
After all, this guy seems to have discovered something.
Hey?
Wait a minute.
It seems that Lao Tzu is the spiritual side!
But at this time, Xing Fei didn't care too much, followed Yi Rin's footsteps, and went all the way to the third floor.
The Faceling doesn't seem to have good eyesight because it doesn't have eyes, and its movements are slightly sluggish. When Yi Rin and Xing Fei completely disappeared in front of him, he shook his body and walked towards the third floor step by step.
Irin returned to his room.
Xing Fei followed.
In this intense situation, no one raised topics such as "it is very embarrassing for a lonely man to be in the same room".
"Close the door."
Xing Fei understood, slapped his palms, and the texture on the gloves flashed, and the door was completely welded to death.
Although Xing Fei also knew that he couldn't resist that guy's footsteps at all, that faceless man was a weird monster that could pass through walls. But welding the door of the room can make Xing Fei feel a lot more secure.
"What now? Well? What do you do lying down? ”
I didn't expect to turn around.
I saw Irin's lying directly on the bed, closing his eyes, with a calm expression waiting for death.
Da, da.
Outside the door.
The footsteps of the faceless man could be heard!
He's coming!
Xing Fei was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to the window, wanting to see how much health would be lost by jumping from the third floor, and whether he would die.
But it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look makes Xing Fei stunned again.
In the dark of the night.
in the fog.
Faintly, the shadows of countless huge creatures emerged.
There are fish floating in the air.
A four-legged monster that towers into the sky like a skyscraper.
There were swarms of locusts buzzing by.
There are countless swaying butterfly shadows.
In the depths of the mist, there seemed to be all kinds of strangely shaped plants, twisting and turning.
The spectacle in front of him made Xing Fei's mouth widen involuntarily, like a dream.
Those strange creatures and plants, like slides, just flashed in front of Xing Fei's eyes, and then quickly disappeared, or suddenly appeared in another corner, very mysterious.
Dada.
Behind.
Footsteps are closer!
Here it comes!
Here it comes!
!
That guy is coming!
Xing Fei hurriedly came back to his senses from the wonders outside, didn't dare to delay any longer, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to jump down, and ran away.
With his ability, it shouldn't be a problem to refine a staircase or something.
As long as there are enough "materials", even if it is a building, Xing Fei dares to try to "refine it".
"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"
on the bed.
Irin who was sleeping with his eyes closed was already snoring slightly.
One hand, silently, passed through Xing Fei's welded door and passed in directly!
"This guy is finished."
Xing Fei slapped his palms, and the texture behind the gloves flashed.
He turned around and was about to look at the bed again, and by the way, he gave a second of silence to the guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and who could still sleep before he died.
But just after Xing Fei turned around.
Irin, who was lying on the bed and snoring, turned out to be nowhere to be found.
Facelings, come and see you.
"it!"
Xing Fei was about to jump down.
And right now.
In the dark.
A short red knife silently protrudes from the Faceling's back, splitting the Faceling in half with a single slash.
In the blink of an eye.
All of the Faceling's movements froze suddenly, and with a sudden slash, it tore apart from the middle, turning into a cloud of black powder and falling to the ground.
"No, no?"
Xing Fei's eyes widened.
Irin silently put away the knife.
He curiously looked at his palm, and Xing Fei in front of him.
"You, how did you kill it?"
Irin smiled and said:
"In a dream."
In a dream?
Xing Fei heard it in a fog.
Yi Rin looked at Xing Fei with a strange gaze: "What are you doing with one foot stepping out?" Jump? What can't you think about? ”
Xing Fei looked down and remembered that he was straddling the window with a JIO, so he smiled awkwardly and calmly, and silently withdrew his foot.
Right now.
The puddle of black powder on the ground, like a corpse, suddenly condensed into a strange human head.
"Allen...... Yes...... My Allen...... Ai ......"
Xing Fei's back was rubbing and the cold was blowing.
But the faceless man only deceived the corpse for a few seconds, and then turned into powder again and disappeared.
Xing Fei cautiously stepped forward.
He rubbed his foot on the powder and made sure that it would not bounce back at all, before he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Didn't all the attacks just now have no effect on him? Why did it suddenly work again? Wait, this is what you're capable of? ”
Xing Fei looked at Yi Rin in surprise.
Irin, who shook her head, "Actually, you can too. ”
"Yo?"
"You'll know when you get some sleep."
Xing Fei: "? Who are you fooling? ”
Ten minutes later.
Xing Fei fell asleep and let out a heavy snoring sound.
In the blink of an eye.
Xing Fei, who was lying on the bed and falling asleep, disappeared strangely. By the time he came to his senses, he was already beside Irin.
Outside the window, the distorted light scene flickered in and out.
All kinds of strange beasts loom in the thick fog.
Xing Fei looked at his body curiously, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that looking at his limbs and palms gave him an illusion that would be distorted at any time. But on closer inspection, that illusion quickly faded away.
"I'm ...... Dream? ”
Yi Rin smiled slightly and explained, "Actually, from the moment I saw the painting of Ailu, I began to wonder what the true face of this 'Grimm Sacrifice' was. ”
"How many cabbages?"
Xing Fei asked.
"......, no, it's the first painting. The first picture of Alan depicts a starry sky, but Judy accidentally tears it in half. As the saying goes, I think about it every day and dream at night, because Alan cares too much about his paintings, so when he sleeps, this scene also turns into Alan's dream. ”
Whether it's the stars that are within reach.
Or the sky torn apart from the depths of the fog.
In fact, they are all reflecting Alan's dreams.
"A child's imagination is much richer than that of an adult, and in his dreams, the stars are not a cosmic phenomenon, but a palpable existence, so on the first night, that strange phenomenon appears."
Ahh
Xing Fei listened to Yi Rin's analysis and was dumbfounded.
But it is impossible to refute it.
It's just that this conclusion is too weird, too appalling, and beyond the imagination of normal people.
Dreams become reality?
That's outrageous, isn't it?
Yi Rin didn't care whether Xing Fei could accept this reality, lowered his head, as if he was talking to himself, and muttered to himself: "Alan has always been curious, who his father is, but Judy has never told him." However, maybe even Judy doesn't know who Alan's father is. In short, in Allen's imagination, his father should be the image in the painting. ”
But he didn't know what his father looked like, so the part of his face was left blank. He probably didn't expect that the image of this 'faceless man' would appear in his dreams. ”
Although Xing Fei thought it was incredible, he still followed Yi Rin's brain, held his glasses, the lenses lit up, and said in a deep voice:
"In other words, this trial will turn 'Allen''s dream into reality? No, then we ...... Now in a dream? Damn, you and I actually talk in a dream? The setting of this trial is outrageous, right? ”
Irin nodded at first, then shook his head, "No." That's not quite right. In fact, the setting of 'turning dreams into reality' is not this trial, but this 'Green Town'. It is precisely because of this strange phenomenon in 'Green Town' that the tower chose this place as the trial scene. ”
Xing Fei pondered for a while, felt that it made sense, and shrugged helplessly: "You're not wrong to say that." Wait, according to your train of thought, the reason why you were able to easily kill the 'Faceless Man' just now is because you entered a dream and are in the same dimension as the 'Faceless Man', so the 'Faceless Man who can't be killed' has become a 'little monster' that can be killed? ”
Yi Rin nodded, agreeing with Xing Fei's words.
At this time, Yi Rin noticed Xing Fei's feet, subconsciously rubbing the black ash on the ground, couldn't help but sigh, and reminded: "For Allen, the corpse of the 'faceless man' you stepped on with your feet should be regarded as his father. ”
Xing Fei's face was expressionless for an instant, and he silently moved his feet away.
I thought about it.
Xing Fei still has questions that have not yet been solved.
He frowned, looked around, and couldn't help but ask, "If it's a trial world, it's not strange if you think about it carefully." It's just that what I can't figure out is that if we say that the space we are in now, the dream and the reality will coincide, and the creatures born in the dream will be mapped to the real Grimm Town, but after we fall asleep, why does our essence disappear? ”
"Actually, it's not hard to explain." Irin smiled, "Normally, when you dream, do you find that you are actually dreaming?" ”
"Uh...... Not really. ”
"So, if you see your sleeping body in a dream, you will wake up that you are actually dreaming, right?"
Xing Fei's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly thought of a possibility: "Wait, according to that, our bodies in reality ...... Isn't it completely undefended? ”
Irin, who thought for a moment, said, "It's possible, but it's also possible that it's not. After all, reality coincides with the town of Grimm in the dream realm, and it can be said that this place is both reality and dream. Since the two coincide, it is more likely that ...... In the same world, there will be no two 'me and you'. Unless, the dream wakes up. ”
Xing Fei thought about it, and felt that this bend was getting more and more headaches, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is too complicated, if you think about it again, your brain will want to explode." ”
"Hehe, it's not that complicated, just treat this place as another world. The monsters in the dream are projected into reality, and if you want to cause damage to these monsters, it is only possible to be in the same dream. ”
"Okay." Xing Fei rubbed his aching temples: "It's good to treat it as an ordinary monster." ”
Xing Fei is also accustomed to the state of dreams.
Sometimes bent, sometimes straight, twisted all around.
"Where are we going now?"
"Do the task." Irin said as a matter of course.
"Kill Green?"
"Or else?"
"Nonsense! But where is 'Green'? ”
Yi Rin looked at Xing Fei strangely.
Xing Fei was stared at by Yi Rin's strange eyes, and subconsciously shrunk his neck: "What do you mean by these eyes?" ”
Actually, what Irin wanted to say was, why don't you think about it yourself?
But Irin, in the end, decided not to say anything, so as not to hurt Kazuki.
"Walking around, there are some places that I care about."
Irin said, preparing to leave.
Xing Fei suddenly lowered his head, stared at the puddle of black ash on the ground, and after a moment of silence, he said, "That 'faceless man' seemed to have spoken for the last time. ”
Irin's silence.
"Do you think it could be that this 'faceless man' was created in Allen's dream as the role of 'Allen's father', and just now in Allen's room downstairs, this monster mistakenly thought that we were going to hurt Allen, so it attacked us?"
In the room, the atmosphere froze again.
I don't know how long it took.
Irin, shaking her head, whispered, "Let's go." ”
Xing Fei quickly followed.
None of them spoke about it again.
But it seems that the faceless man who has only been a "father" for a few minutes has unconsciously left a shadow in a corner of the hearts of the two.
When passing by Alan's room, Yi Rin and Xing Fei specially confirmed that Eren was still asleep.
The overlap between dreams and reality is very strange. If it weren't for his personal experience, Xing Fei might not have believed that this kind of thing would happen to him.
After leaving Judy's Inn.
Xing Fei couldn't help but say his thoughts: "In this way, the biggest danger in this trial should be the monster created in Allen's dream?" But as long as this matter is discovered, the difficulty of the trial is actually not so outrageous. ”
"Quite the opposite." Xing Fei, who was denied by Yi Rin's speed of light, said: "Do you think that this child is special, and only Allen's dream will become a reality?" ”
When Xing Fei heard this, his eyes froze, and he subconsciously said, "You mean ......?"
"It's not Allen that's in problem, it's the whole town of Green. It is a special phenomenon of 'Green Town', which turns everyone's dreams into reality. And how much malice can a small child have in his heart? And even if there were, it was only to the extent of a prank. ”
Irin paused, raised his head, and stared at the night sky.
Deep in the night sky, the fog twists and makes it impossible to see the end.
"If a terrible resentment is born in someone's heart, and this resentment is somehow manifested in a dream......"
"No, it won't!"
After Yi Rin's reminder, a terrifying speculation suddenly flashed in Xing Fei's mind.
In other words, theoretically, there should be no upper and lower limits to the difficulty of this mission. It may be easy to say, but if it's hard......"
Irin pointed to his head, "It's all imagination. ”
"What's more, we don't know who the 'Green' we really want to kill is."
"But since I know that there is such a strange phenomenon of 'combining reality and dreams' in Green Town, the hint of the main quest is more obvious."
The two of them quickly recalled the initial quest prompt.
[There's everything here.] 】
Where do you dare to use the description 'everything'?
Only...... In dreams.
In dreams, there is everything.
Other words.
"The 'Green' we want to kill in the main quest is hidden in the dream world!"
The two quickly left Judy's Inn.
Shortly after the two left.
Two figures, coming from the darkness.
"It seems a little quiet tonight. Are you all asleep? ”
"It's possible that it's because we kill on TV during the day, creating an atmosphere of 'it's dangerous in a small town', so these ordinary people don't dare to come out."
Fifty-six said with helplessness on his face.
The two of them are fifty-six and eighty-one.
The two of them, one wearing steel gloves in both fists, and the other holding a huge hammer on his shoulder, walked lightly.
A pitch-black shadow swayed strangely on the ground behind the two.
"Therefore, although the mental side is not good at force, sometimes, the brain is still very good."
"There's a good chance those two guys have some idea about this main quest that we don't know about."
Fifty-six whispered.
"Seventy-three, go up and have a look, take it easy, don't kill it."
"Hmm."
The shadow on the ground whispered, and then swooped down, pulling a long shadow on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into Judy's Hotel.
