Chapter 413: Nightmare
Qiu Xuan remembered what happened when she was a child.
In fact, she rarely recalls the past, especially after entering a desperate situation, and she has no time to sigh for those years that have passed.
She remembered what happened when she was a child, but what she remembered was not a reality, but a nightmare.
She was particularly prone to nightmares at that time, and she was especially afraid of the dark - this is nothing, most children who sleep alone are afraid of the dark - every day the things that pull children into those bizarre nightmares are different, sometimes aliens, sometimes hands under the bed, sometimes children playing with balls in the closet, and sometimes "twins" in the mirror.
I can't remember the content of the dream for many years, Qiu Xuan only remembers that she was standing on an animal slaughterhouse at that time, and there were dense corpses in the sky.
There were animals in the slaughterhouse, and there were human bodies, which fell on her like a downpour.
And it seems that he subconsciously knew that these were just scenes in a nightmare, and Qiu Xuan, who was still a little radish head at that time, was not particularly afraid. She just felt that everything in front of her was too absurd and weird, and although she felt uncomfortable, she still thought calmly that she would be fine when she woke up.
She never woke up.
The time she fell into a nightmare to the time she woke up was often just a matter of thought, and she had done so in the past. But never before now, even with a faint voice around you saying, "You'll never get out." ”
If it was Qiu Xuan now, she would roll her eyes and ask the voice to "climb away and don't get in the way". But in the end, people do not grow in reverse, and Qiu Xuan, who was only at the current thigh position at that time, did not have such a dead pig temper that was not afraid of boiling water. Like that sentence, how do you say it?
- No one is born to be an old dog, except for Zhao Yigui.
Standing in the middle of the rain of corpses pouring down from the sky, she could not count how long she had been in the nightmare scene, only that no matter where she ran, she tried countless methods, but she could not successfully wake herself out of the nightmare.
I'm probably going to die.
The child thought so. By this time, the corpses that kept falling from the air had piled up on the ground to the point where she couldn't get her feet, and she had to retreat again and again to avoid the disgusting things that would not touch her. In the end, she had no way to retreat, and sat on the mountain of corpses.
Almost at the moment when the body touched the falling corpse, countless faces and hands suddenly stretched out from the dense "mountain". They were horribly white and screamed silently with their mouths open, and all of a sudden, the rain of corpses that kept falling from the air was even faster, even to the point that thousands fell together.
The children sat on one of the "mountains" and watched as the hands and corpses grabbed in their direction. The panic told her to run for her life and get out of here, but she still stubbornly believed that if she "died" in the pile of corpses, she would wake up. It's just one of countless nightmares, and it's not a big deal.
She watched as the corpses drowned her in the sky. However, a second after she had been dragged into the mountain of corpses by countless hands, she saw something in the middle of the countless mountains of corpses.
There is no substance, no form, not even a perfunctory mimicry, nothing.
Some are just enough darkness to absorb all the bright colors. She had never seen such blackness, no impurities at all, no sporadic brilliance, the purest primordial and most essential darkness.
She was pulled into the center of the horrible mountain of corpses, surrounded by faces and eyes that twitched and screamed, and in front of her stood a darkness that seemed more terrifying than all the corpses combined.
The child had a small face and thought expressionlessly:
I'll pay attention to it for the rest of my life.
The darkness approached her silently, so she closed her eyes, and with a kind of funny that she had only lived to see through life and death at the age of seven, she decided to die heroically. The darkness approached, but it didn't get too close, but kept a distance, silently and arrogantly absorbing the power of the surrounding mountains of corpses.
Qiu Xuan waited for a while and then opened her eyes, she saw that the power belonging to the darkness was very arrogantly scattered on those terrible corpses, and the darkness in the center seemed to be using it to replenish energy. In the end, even the faintly existing consciousness magnetic field around him couldn't help but be angry, but he couldn't stop it, and he could only be impotent and furious.
A small dark tentacle reached into her place, tentatively felt it for a second, then snorted in disgust, and turned to absorb the energy from a corpse behind her.
Qiu Xuan: ......?
The child had been in that nightmare for seven days, and the darkness in the corpse mountain with her had been sucked for seven days. Then there was finally a moment when the darkness at the core in front of me seemed to be full, and it was enough to regain all its strength, and it seemed to bounce lazily in place and disappear in front of him.
Correspondingly, at the moment when the surrounding corpse mountain disintegrated, the child opened his eyes and woke up from the bed.
She had been thinking back to the dream, the inexplicable but stinking darkness she had seen. Later, as the consciousness gradually wakes up, sometimes people will not remember what happened in the dream of the previous night, and the nightmare gradually fades from the memory, but when they recall the fragments again, it seems that it is not a complete "nightmare".
Later, Qiu Xuan watched a horror movie with her friend, and there was a scene in it that was made to be extremely realistic and disgusting mass grave. Countless hideous and terrifying corpses were piled up in a mountain and accumulated, and my friend's face changed directly at that time.
"Let's jump a little bit of progress, I can't stand it, I really don't know how the protagonist managed to get down here...... Why don't you have an expression, aren't you afraid? ”
Qiu Xuan didn't speak, nodded and acquiesced to the other party's progress bar, but she was thinking in her heart that if she was the protagonist, she probably wouldn't be so afraid.
She vaguely remembered seeing something more terrifying than the mountains of corpses, which seemed to be the source of all the fears in the world, and that even the most terrifying beings would fear it.
When Qiu Xuan was a child, she was afraid of many things, especially the dark. But unexpectedly, when she stood in front of the real darkness for the first time, the emotion she felt was not fear.
What kind of emotion is that?
Qiu Xuan opened her eyes from the shadows that were suddenly obscured in front of her, and the thing closest to her sight was the first thin hungry person to pounce on her. Behind the hungry people, there were hungry wolves that swooped up and waited for rabbits on the official road.
She flipped her palm, and a black mist ignited in her palm, and in the next second, a wide palm held her hand through the black flames. Qiu Xuan raised her head, and the man held her hand in the mountains of hideous people, and pulled her to her side with force.
Qiu Xuan had seen something more terrifying than the mountains of corpses, the source of all the fear in the world, the corner from the bottom of the Nine Abysses where not a single light could shine.
She walked on the edge of the abyss countless times, unable to distinguish whether the two sides of the strait were about to reach the other shore for salvation, or the deep fear of continuing to fall.
Qiu Xuan's fingertips pulled the man down, and kissed the corners of his lips slightly pursed in the other party's somewhat surprised gaze.
She remembered.
The wide umbrella surface was completely open, unscrupulously absorbing the vitality in the crowd, and even the skeleton handle was trembling with excitement. When the crack on the bone joint reached a certain level, the next moment, the withered white bones that covered the sky filled the vacant position, and for a while, the invisible power of the entire official road was trembling with trembling.
What Qiu Xuan longed for was never the ethereal salvation itself, what she wanted all along, all along, was the abyss.
Only then can we reach the most desired salvation.
Only then can we have that complete and complete ......
Nine abysses.
……
"This broken umbrella is really useless."
Qiu Xuan frowned and looked at the bone joints that had cracked to half of the skeleton of the umbrella handle in his hand, and stared at it for a long time, then completely accepted the fact that he was not a professional and could not repair it with his eyes, and put it away and stuffed it back into his entourage space.
Just now, the bone umbrella used the power of the necromantic space to absorb the qi of a considerable number of hungry people near the official road, and now a small area in the necromantic space has returned to its former appearance. Although the speed is still fast, but according to this situation, even if the bone umbrella is completely damaged by then, it will probably only be able to repair a few small places, and it is still a fool's dream to fully recover.
Unless she finds the same "defective product" again.
After that, let's save some use, and see if we can take it back to Hephaestus to repair it - although the two of them knew that it was not very pleasant before, but after all, business still has to be done. What's more, a person like a forger may not be able to get along with money, but it is absolutely impossible for him to get along with a forging process that symbolizes the pinnacle level of the world plane.
"I was caught up in an organization before......"
Qiu Xuan put away his umbrella and probably told Qin Jiuyuan about what had happened on the thirty-seventh official road before. Now that the situation is already like this, she should be expelled from the organization if she is directly absent from work according to the rules, and there is no need to beg to go back with a dead face.
"So what do we say after that? Do you follow the official road back to Drow City or do you have a better route? ”
The black market merchant who was walking next to him was silent and did not speak, Qiu Xuan asked again, and then turned his head to look after getting another silent response.
The expression on the black merchant's face looked a little silly, he didn't even look at the road at all, and almost stepped on a crack in the open surface again.
"What are you thinking?"
"No, I didn't think about anything...... Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
Qiu Xuan was speechless for a moment, and let him go, walking there step by step, watching step by step, remembering the route.
After remembering the location of the twenty-third crack on the surface, the black merchant who had been smirking on the side without using his brain or remembering the way finally put down a little expression, stretched out his hand and pulled Qiu Xuan's arm.
"Someone's coming," he stared for a moment. "Probably ...... Five. ”
Qiu Xuan also sensed the unusual atmosphere in the air, but the basis for her judgment was the slight tremor coming from the ground under her feet. Such a tremor is familiar, if it weren't for Otsay having another giant, then there would have only been one person.
The Chainsaw Man followed all the way here.
This was the first thought that came to her, but then she narrowed her eyes at the sight in front of her.
The chainsaw man was not at the forefront, his huge body fell behind a person, and the person looked a little familiar, and when everyone walked into the range of vision, Qiu Xuan suddenly realized who it was.
Yu Tang.
I met it in the black market on the second basement floor before.,That beautiful beauty stall owner.。 She also traded in human bone ornaments, and later did business with Tom and them.
Qiu Xuan really didn't expect to see Yu Tang in Oselle, but after thinking about it, he felt that it made sense. After all, Yu Tang's underground black market in Zhuoer City is so mysterious that she only appears in a very small time, and no one has ever seen her return to her "home" once.
The speculation of other gossip black businessmen is that Yu Tang is a descendant of a small lord on the ground who came out to experience life at the grassroots level, but the truth is that her base camp is in Osser.
Wait a minute.
Qiu Xuan suddenly paused. All the people in this organization are executioners, and Yu Tang is clearly an aborigine, why did she join this organization full of executioners, and why did she appear in front of her as a leader at this time?
"We meet again...... Aph. ”
Yu Tang walked at the front of the crowd, and the five people who followed, Qiu Xuan, had all seen them in that base building, and they were obviously familiar faces in the organization.
"I had just returned from Drow because something was wrong with the beam I was passing by...... Oh yes, you're here too, Renault."
Yu Tang said a few words, and then shrugged his shoulders and said hello as if he had just seen Qin Jiuyuan. The latter didn't pay attention to her, and she wasn't annoyed, she just talked to herself.
"We were also quite unlucky, we were stuck at the end of the gluttony contest and wanted to come back, so we chose a random beam, but there was a collective riot of the city's citizens...... It's a big fuss.,If you want me to say that the gluttony contest will be canceled.,I didn't expect those law enforcers with holes in their brains not to announce the suspension of the game.,The contestants are eating the city people on the stage while rioting underneath.,I'm really convinced.。 ”
"Ah, Renault, I remember you were the one on the beam!"
Qiu Xuan subconsciously turned his head to look at Qin Jiuyuan, who shook his head and said that it was okay, and then continued to look at Yu Tang with a sharp gaze.
Qiu Xuan looked back at Yu Tang again, "It turned out to be you." When I saw you in Drow City before, I thought you were an aborigine, but I didn't expect you to ......."
She paused suddenly, as if someone had suddenly choked her throat and couldn't say a word.
An unbelievably absurd thought crossed her mind.
