Chapter 220: The Demonic Forest
Morpheus used the reality he could see as a guide, and at the cost of the hard-won light, finally opened a passage for the tribesmen who were immersed in the dream to leave the dream.
The people who don't know why followed the reality that suddenly appeared, and before they knew it, they all woke up from their dreams.
The ice field, which was originally silent, finally had the movement of people.
Lights slowly lit up from the tribe.
And Wright's expression finally relaxed a little.
Morpheus had his back to Wright, and he had lost his light again, and even when he was facing the woman he loved, he still couldn't see her clearly.
So, if it's destined to be in vain, then why turn around?
"Everyone, are you awake?" Morpheus asked softly.
Wright nodded, then whispered an "um".
"That'...... I'm a monster, and it's time to retire. Morpheus spread his wings and was about to leave the cold ice field.
Seeing Morpheus leaving, Wright's heart suddenly moved, and he subconsciously called: "Little Ink ......"
She may have sensed something in her heart, but even though she called Morpheus, she really didn't know what she should say again.
In that case, then ...... Forget it......
A bitter smile rose at the corner of Morpheus's mouth, and he shook his head slightly, then flapped his wings and soared into the sky.
He was in the sky, flying and stumbling.
Wright looked up and saw a brilliant aurora suddenly appear in the night sky.
Morpheus shuttled back and forth in the aurora, and in a short time, he was already disappearing into a field of splendor.
"This is Aurora, Xiaomo, you should see it better than me." Wright stood on the shore of the icy lake, muttering to the sky.
And Morpheus, who was in the aurora, didn't really see the aurora in Wright's mouth until that day came ten years later.
Ten years have passed, and Morpheus has traveled all over the world, seen many changes in the world, but has never met a person who can make his heart move.
He no longer lingers in other people's dreams, and his ability to dream is sealed by his own hands as the king of dreams.
This awakened god has been completely lost in darkness, and the light he has finally regained because of the awakening of the god has long been lost in the cold ice field.
Morpheus never imagined that he would return to his hometown, but at the guidance of a woman he met on his journey, he returned to the ice field once again.
It's just because that woman said that as long as she holds the demon contract, she can easily get the love that she can't find for a long time or has already passed by herself.
Almost without hesitation, Morpheus signed a contract with the woman named Anti to involve the demon, and after signing the contract, he was impatient to come to the ice field again.
Morpheus tries to find the tribe on the ice field and reconnect with Wright.
He had had enough of longing, and his attachment to Wright continued unabated.
But when Morpheus flew back to the ice field, he found that it was still silent and dark.
Ten years later, this day coincided with the reappearance of the Thirty Polar Nights on the ice sheet.
But in the tribe next to the ice lake, the houses inhabited are still there, but among the tribes, there is no trace of human population.
While Morpheus was hesitating, the woman named Anthi and the man with blue eyes walked slowly on the surface of the glacial lake.
This is the far north of the earth, even if Morpheus's black wings are strong, it still takes three days and three nights to fly here, but what kind of abilities do Anthi and Horus have, and they actually stepped on the ice when Morpheus was most confused.
"It was Horus who saw that something was wrong with you, so I teleported here with him." This is the answer given by that beautiful woman.
Morpheus was worried about Wright's safety, but he didn't bother to ask anything more at the moment.
"Where's Wright?" Morpheus hurriedly asked when he heard the voice of the comer.
Anti and Horus glanced at each other, and Horus immediately opened the Sky Eye very tacitly.
The Old Acquaintance function of the Sky Eye was instantly activated, and then Horus tapped Morpheus's forehead with his finger, and the image from the perspective of the Old World Eye instantly poured into Morpheus's mind.
It was the year after Morpheus was gone, and after he had paid a great price to save the people of the tribe who had sunk into their dreams, they had only lived peacefully for a year.
The following year, before the night of the thirtieth pole arrived, these people repeated the same mistake again.
The long-term dream once again swallowed these people.
But this time, there is no one who can pay the price of light to save these greedy people from their dreams.
Halfway through the thirty polar nights, the ice field was completely turned into a dead field.
The stench of carrion caused the hibernating ice bears to wake up from their slumber, find the tribe, and gnaw at the flesh of everyone.
And Wright, the only one who is still alive in reality, has never surfaced again after falling into the ice lake because he couldn't stand such a violent stimulation and was chased by an ice bear.
Originally, during the season of the first to 30th polar nights, the surface of the glacial lake would form a layer of ice thick enough for people to walk on due to the cold weather.
But on the shore of the lake, there was a small hole half a meter square, which Wright had made with his own hand with the kind of crushed ice hammer used for winter fishing, but Wright had not knocked out this little hole for fishing in the first place.
It can only be said that the ice bear chasing her gave her the courage to make a desperate bet.
When Wright had nothing, she finally chose to end her life.
By the time the Eye of the Old World was played, Morpheus was already in tears.
It was he who personally harmed this ice field, this tribe, these people.
On the ice field, there are no more sweet dreams, let alone nightmares.
But Morpheus still didn't give up, he didn't want to believe what he "saw" in his head, he refused to believe that Wright had disappeared into the lake.
He suddenly flapped his wings and flew into the air, then flipped his wrist and commanded that the world above the ice field, the dreams of all living beings must be opened for him.
All the creatures that dreamed, animals and insects, responded to the request of the Dream King, opening a door for him to enter and exit the hole in his dreams.
And in reality, the dream gate that materialized in reality stretched out a transparent string one after another, and countless dream strings were easily restrained in Morpheus's hands.
Following those dream strings, Morpheus never saw a single dream about Wright.
This woman, who once made Morpheus unforgettable, disappeared into Morpheus's life so easily, for her, Morpheus got everything, but gave up everything.
The ice field where Wright lived gave Morpheus the happiest dream, and at this moment, the mutilated and dried corpses in the tribe became the most real existence in Morpheus's dream.
And in the midst of these dry exorcisms, Morpheus once again sensed the breath of himself.
It turns out that people's greed and obsession can be so deep, when time passes, when life is in exile, and everything is turned into nothingness, those people's desire for sweet dreams is still so clear and audible.
Among those intertwined desires, there is even a touch of reality that only Morpheus can perceive - a reality that belongs to Morpheus alone!
Suddenly, Antie handed Morpheus a seed.
She said that in this world, only Morpheus at this moment can turn this seed into a forest.
Although Morpheus did not believe it, after receiving the seed, the appearance of a whole forest appeared in his heart.
He sowed the seed on the ice field, and the seed took root, following Morpheus's despair and desire, and spread rapidly to the tribe.
Vines, instantly crawling all over the ice field.
And the empty shell left by the lost life in the tribe has become the best fertilizer for this kind of growth.
Morpheus manipulates the plants, absorbing the sins that once belonged to him.
When the emerald green vines have absorbed the nutrients, the phenomenon of going back to the origin occurs.
Morpheus only felt that although there was not much left of the reality that had been dispersed after the passage of time, the only ones that were left were still absorbed into his body through the absorption of vines.
His eyes were able to open again, but this time they were far less round and larger than they had been when they had been opened the first time.
Morpheus's eyes opened a small slit, like a missing moon in the sky, with a heartbreaking arc.
And the vine plant also grew quietly in the night, and after Morpheus gradually opened his eyes, it grew into a lush forest.
"This is the Demon Forest." Anti looked at the green shade that covered the ice field, and said to Morpheus with a smile, "And you, the King of Dreams, are the master of this forest from today onwards. ”
