The golden light spread, and what appeared in front of Zhang Xiao's eyes was a golden room.

The golden walls are shining brightly, the ornate golden furniture is placed on the golden floor, and the golden chandelier hanging from the ceiling reflects some of them in a brilliant and brilliant way, maybe not just gold, but also gold.

But beyond that, there was nothing in the room, it was empty, there was nothing to call it a living thing, and there was not even a movable furnishings in the room except for the furniture.

This place, which looks like the home of some rich man, is full of vulgar aesthetics, and although gold is not synonymous with earth, it is really not aesthetically pleasing to such abuse.

However, these are not the reasons for Zhang Xiao's foul mouth, what really makes Zhang Xiao rude is the pure gold placed in the middle of the room...... Coffin.

“…… This can't be DIO's coffin? ”

As a vampire, it makes sense and logic for DIO to sleep in a coffin, but that shouldn't be what DIO would do in Selma's memory.

Because the DIO I saw in reality before obviously does not shy away from the sun, on the contrary, the sun is just like his servant, but it sets off his nobility and mystery.

Of course, Zhang Xiao noticed this, long before he guessed that it was DIO, but even if he later guessed that it was DIO, he was not surprised, because it was not surprising what kind of changes would happen to DIO, which was already beyond the world, not to mention the small problem of vampires overcoming the sun - as far as Zhang Xiao knew, not counting those flawed ways, just counting the perfect way to overcome the sun, he himself knew that there were at least five.

The reason why many problems are problems is not how difficult they really are, nor is it that the ability is not up to standard, but the problem of being limited by vision, so since DIO can transcend fate and jump out of the JOJO world, Zhang Xiao believes that it is absolutely impossible for vampires to continue to haunt him with such a problem as fear of light.

So if it's not DIO, who is the coffin in front of you?

Most importantly, what secrets does this coffin in front of Thelma, located in the depths of Thelma's subconscious, hold secrets?

Zhang Xiao cautiously approached the coffin, but unlike the traps and crises that frequently appeared in his subconscious before, this room was unexpectedly "calm".

Step by step, until he approached the coffin, there was no danger at all, no, it should be said that there was no change at all.

This did not make Zhang Xiao relax, but became more vigilant.

"The obvious hidden place is unprotected, does this mean that the greatest crisis is in this coffin?"

But even if he is so suspicious, Zhang Xiao still has to open this coffin, and when she comes here, Zhang Xiao is here to get secrets that Selma is unwilling to confide in, and even she herself may not really know.

Click......

Slowly pushing the coffin open, Zhang Xiao finally saw the secret hidden in Selma's heart.

"It's ......"

Even Zhang Xiao, who can be called well-informed, felt incredible at this time.

……

Returning to reality from Selma's world of consciousness, it seems that the shuttle between the two worlds makes Zhang Xiao also a little conscious.

After looking at the contents of the coffin, Zhang Xiao also specially looked for any memories of the ship, and luckily, he also found relevant memories in a room on the second floor that was almost the farthest away.

After that, it was to leave, but it was not a smooth road to leave, and DIO, who was affected by Zhang Xiao's own consciousness and became more and more real, ran up and launched an endless pursuit of Zhang Xiao.

Even if it's just Zhang Xiao's memory, DIO who is trapped in the boundaries of JOJO's world is quite difficult to mess with, even if Zhang Xiao has the nightmare of becoming a platinum star in the subconscious world, but he is not a protagonist like Jotaro Kujo, not only can he not completely kill DIO, but he is also forced by DIO to be quite embarrassed.

Fortunately, the platinum star is indeed strong enough, this is completely different from the nightmare, both the basic quality and the ability to stop are extremely powerful, although it can't completely defeat DIO, but it is enough to keep Zhang Xiao, but it took more time in that subconscious world.

However, it didn't matter how much time he spent in that world, of course, his return to the real world was only a moment, so he could still faintly see the green light in front of his eyes - it was the uncontrollable stand-in ability of Thelma after his death that was gradually disappearing.

“……”

Looking at Thelma's corpse, which had completely lost his voice, Zhang Xiao was speechless, he remembered the previous battle, remembered the other party's words, and remembered Selma's consciousness of dying together...... I also remembered what I saw in the coffin in the depths of the other person's subconscious.

"That's the way of life, to go all the way to the goal you set for, and never look back even if you know it's wrong...... Not because you don't know the truth, but because when you look back, you can only see confusion. ”

Why the coffin is hidden in the blind corner of vision, and why there are no traps in the room where the coffin is placed, now Zhang Xiao has understood.

Even, he gradually determined why he was sent back to this era by the world consciousness.

Zhang Xiao raised his head and looked at the space inside the ship that was gradually shrouded in darkness, "It's time to end all this quickly...... This is a complete farce. ”

……

The energy spent on Selma was not in vain.

This "rebel group" hidden in the shadows of the cruise ship is indeed not a group of hot-headed rabble, they are DIO's subordinates in the first place, and even to some extent are completely loyal to DIO.

So their base, hidden in the hull, is not only hidden, but also not improvised.

Naturally, there is more than one route to the base, but outsiders are completely unaware of it.

Thelma is naturally not an outsider, and even a high-level for this "rebel" organization, if it weren't for the fact that her stand-in is too dominant in this place, she won't take the initiative to attack the enemy at all, so the route that Zhang Xiao dug out of her mind is naturally true and credible, and even quite secretive - a secret route that most of the other organization's own people don't know.

The next road was calm, as if the previous crisis was a dream, no one had met it, and only a few surveillance places could not see Zhang Xiao under the cover of the nightmare.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Zhang Xiao was roughly sure that the place where he was now was not far from his final destination, but then he stopped, because his body was now extremely unwell.

"The condition of the body is very bad, the injury is getting worse and worse, and the movement alone has consumed all the strength, although my soul strength is still relatively sufficient, but this body itself is no longer enough to move."

From the body itself, Selma's attack has been successful, only the charred corpse of her own death remains, Zhang Xiao's possessed body is also almost dead, the strong radiation has caused more than ninety-five percent of the body's skin burns, after ten minutes of development, not only the original injury is more serious, but also due to Zhang Xiao's soul, this body is not really dead, the deformed mutation seems to be absorbing the power of Zhang Xiao's soul to spread all over the body, one by one, blisters, ulcers grow and spread everywhere on the body, and part of the skin is charred, and some body tissues proliferate strangely, forming large and small sarcomas.

Such a body can no longer play a big role in protecting the spirit, on the contrary, the strange mutation may also affect the possessed soul, Zhang Xiao must make a choice at this time.

"Although it is a slow death for the soul to leave the body, if you carry this body, let alone fight, it will be a problem to walk......"

Zhang Xiao recalled the information he got from Selma's subconscious, and after comparing it, he determined that although the destination was not far away, it was impossible to sneak in further, and now he could only invade quickly and complete the mission and leave before the enemy realized his goal.

Zhang Xiao knew that he had no choice, and relied on his powerful soul power and the help of nightmares to take the initiative to break away from this body that was no longer a form.

This process was not pleasant, even more numbness than when possessed, but with a feeling of weakness and emptiness, Zhang Xiao's body was light, and he finally broke away from the physical body that had accompanied him for a period of time, and with it came a sense of relief.

Zhang Xiao realized that what he thought was right, the mutation of this body could really affect his soul, and the current sense of relief was not his imagination.

What's even more weird is that even though Zhang Xiao's soul has been deformed and mutated and even looks charred, this body has not died immediately with Zhang Xiao's soul leaving the body, and the large and small sarcomas on his body are still up and down like breathing.

Even Zhang Xiao felt that he could still vaguely feel the perception of this body.

This strange feeling did not affect Zhang Xiao's plan, and with a movement of his mind, Zhang Xiao controlled the nightmare to completely envelop his soul, which was an experience he had in the previous battle in the world of JOJO, he could make the nightmare wrap around his body, so that he could control the nightmare operation like driving exoskeleton armor, and at the same time protect his own soul.

But something unexpected happened to Zhang Xiao, this time it didn't feel like being in armor like before, this time, Zhang Xiao seemed to be truly one with the nightmare.

Nightmare originally had a seven-point similar face to Zhang Xiao, and at this time it has become exactly the same as Zhang Xiao himself, and the slightly illusory body has also condensed into reality at this time, although he has not met anyone yet, but Zhang Xiao believes that at this time, he has been able to be seen by ordinary people, and even contacted, that is to say, the most buggy ability as a stand-in has not been inherited by this body, it seems that Zhang Xiao has obtained a more powerful body.

But in fact, this is not the case, in addition to losing his ghost-like body, Zhang Xiao also gained the ability to be a substitute.

It was a wonderful feeling, he used to perceive the world and use his abilities through a stand-in nightmare, but now he seemed to instinctively do.

The fusion of his soul and his avatar seemed to have undergone some changes beyond his expectations.

"Is it the difference and connection between the stand-in and the soul? Produced a degree of complementarity? It's a little unexpected. ”

However, Zhang Xiao also found that this bond was a little too tight, and it seemed that it was much more difficult for him to get out of the nightmare now than it was to get out of the mutated body just now...... It may not even be possible to get out of it.

This kind of thing Zhang Xiao himself did not expect at all, or it is impossible for a normal stand-in messenger to experience this kind of thing, after all, most of the stand-in messengers are humans, but in fact, if you want to study it carefully, it is not without such examples.

Anubis God, the origin of this stand-in is very magical, it is a stand-in formed by the soul of a swordsmith attached to the knife after the death of a five-hundred-year-old swordsmith, according to reason, there is no kind of stand-in that can only be launched after the death of the stand-in messenger itself, such as the infamous BIG, or even if the ontology death stand-in can act according to the rules of the stand-in cheap trick, but when it comes to magic, the Anubis God can be said to be the perfect combination of the stand-in messenger and the stand-in in addition to not being able to move on his own.

Ignoring the human lifespan limit and having a transcendent ability that can be used at no cost, this is arguably the best example of a stand-in emissary fully gaining the ability of a stand-in.

The reverse is also true, the stand-in gets rid of the weak ontology of the stand-in messenger, and the stand-in who has lost its restrictions has truly become an independent individual.

Zhang Xiao's current situation is similar, he combines his soul and stand-in, and completely obtains the extraordinary ability of the nightmare, and the nightmare is rooted in the human subconscious sea, as long as there are creatures that can have nightmares, he is an immortal and immortal existence, and he has lost the limitations and weaknesses of Zhang Xiao's body.

The two are one, Zhang Xiao and Nightmare complement each other, and it seems that they have vaguely reached another level.

Of course, Zhang Xiao can't do this now, he only has a hunch, because he and Nightmare are far from being separated from each other, otherwise it is not that it is difficult to get out of the Nightmare's body, but that he and Nightmare do not feel that they are separated from each other at all - normal people can take off their clothes, but there is no one who can take off their bodies, this is the same reason.

But there is no doubt that Zhang Xiao is now walking in the level limit beyond the trialists, not a warrior, not a hero, in a sense, he is no different from those gods who hold up the divine throne and ignite the divine fire to condense the godhead, or in other words, the nightmare rooted in the subconscious sea of people, as if the nightmare of some kind of rule is manifested, far higher than ordinary gods.

Overtaking in corners, Zhang Xiao, who had previously lamented that he was just a poor cannon fodder, suddenly stepped into a situation that he couldn't imagine before.

But again, he has just embarked on this road now, and he only has a premonition about it, not to mention the distant future, even now, he has no certainty of defeating DIO.

Shaking his head, Zhang Xiao decisively pulled back the idea of deviating.

'It's a bit unexpected, but it's definitely good for me at this stage and for the distant future, because it's important that I have a bigger future and that I can play as a stand-in and as a stand-in now.

Yes, this is important, the information that is spied on Thelma's head is not just a hidden passage, but also contains important information about the enemy.

"In addition to that German Junker of Carter von Heinrich's suspected Nazi, it should be noted that the enemy also has two powerful stand-in messengers."

"Selma doesn't fully know the stand-in abilities of these three people, but judging from the appearance and some battles from the sidelines, that Heinrich's stand-in is the most mysterious, and it seems to be some kind of absolute defense, and the specific record is that he once faced a sniper attack more than two hundred and fifty meters away, and he didn't know it in advance, but he killed the enemy unscathed."

"The second is a Russian, codenamed vodka, which is really a simple nickname for Russians, but his ability is extremely weird, and he seems to have the ability to manipulate fire, ice, and atmosphere, I don't know what kind of stand-in this can do."

"The third is a Frenchman, a black man named Henry, and his stand-in is the only one whose name Thelma knows, called Revolution, which should be called Leather @#命? But the ability is still weird, and it seems to be able to twist the will of the enemy through words? …… It's really worthy of its name. ”

Of course, there are more than three stand-in messengers for the enemy, but according to Selma's memory, these three people are not only strange but also powerful, which requires Zhang Xiao to be vigilant.

Of course, more importantly, these three people are the most likely to carry the "arrow".

I don't know what Heinrich thinks, the "arrow" is not always on his body, but is kept by three people in different periods, as for whether there are more people, Selma doesn't know, but in terms of Thelma's strength and status, no matter how many people there are, she should be right, so this information is trustworthy.

"I didn't expect that Heinrich to be so bold as to hand over the arrows to someone else."

This was a real surprise, and of course it did win the trust of the fanatics, and made this alternative group of faith quite united, which shows that Heinrich was definitely not a stupid person, on the contrary, he was quite smart.

Heinrich's purpose in doing this was definitely not for the safety of the "arrow", but it caused trouble for Zhang Xiao by accident.

can't determine where the goal is, this is the reason why Zhang Xiao stopped here, otherwise, if there is a wave of rapid advance, Zhang Xiao will not have a chance to achieve the goal before everyone reacts.

However, bad news is often accompanied by good news, according to this situation, the "arrow" is definitely on the body of one of the three, not hidden somewhere, so as long as you kill those three people, you can definitely get the "arrow...... And those three people usually don't leave their respective residences! ”

Carefully recalling everything he knew, Zhang Xiao did not delay, and his body jumped to the ceiling above his head.

Although this place is in a ship's cabin, the space can even be considered large, and there are lights everywhere, there are no real shadows, plus the enemies that are not dense but are everywhere, there is really no suitable route to sneak into.

But sneaking into this kind of thing is different from person to person, with Zhang Xiao's ability to inherit the nightmare at this time, as long as there is such a way that can not be bumped into head-on, he can completely rely on his sense and speed advantage to avoid the eyes of others first.

So what could be better than the ceiling?
