125. True darkness
Aoki didn't expect to see this familiar symbol in the mountains of southern Yunnan. He closed his eyes, calmed himself down for a moment, and reached out to touch the top of the cave.
The rock walls were covered with moss, and the entrance was damp and smooth, and it was cold. The coolness spread throughout his body with the palm of his hand, making him shiver.
The cuckoo asked anxiously outside, "How is it?" Do you see it? ”
Aoki said, "I saw it, but what should I do?" ”
The cuckoo said, "Touch him, touch him!" Touch him like you caressed his lover's face...... Forehead......" she seemed to think of something, and her face suddenly turned red, "although you are all men, but ...... It's okay to have two handsome men, right......"
The crow standing aside and waiting heard that something was wrong, and said suspiciously: "Quack, what did you say?" Man? What do you see? ”
"You have to feel it with strong mental power to touch the entity, I don't have it anymore, I can't see anything anymore." Cuckoo said dejectedly.
"No, no, no, no," the crow shook his head, "I mean, before, for the first time, what did you see?" ”
The cuckoo said, "When I saw Situ's face, he was on the rock wall. His eyes were gentle and he looked at me like a lover. I touch him with mental power, and he has a substance, and then I, I ......"
"Wow, I heard you were thirteen years old at the time." The coal boss calculated, "Well, thirteen years old is not too young for a crow, but a human ...... What a strange species! …… Well, and then what? ”
And then ...... I found myself able to communicate with the power of the entire space here, and I was able to use the power of space to control the consciousness that entered here. Of course, it's only to a certain extent, and I can't fully control it, so in this space, I don't dare to go very deep, and I have never touched ......"
Cuckoo continued, remembering what had just happened, she used her arms to protect her body, looking a little scared, "I've never met a Japanese. ”
Aoki didn't pay attention to their conversation, but closed his eyes, carefully feeling the coldness on the rock wall. Slowly, he noticed the two triangles protruding from the rock wall, glittering in his mind.
Of course, Aoki knows this isn't true. It was in a dream, and he closed his eyes now. This thing still gives him a different experience both tactile and visual, affecting his consciousness.
It's an imprint of consciousness.
Aoki thought about it. This is the backdoor left by the original dreamer, like deliberately leaving a bug in the game's backend. Game designers can take advantage of this bug to modify the data of players and NPCs to quickly clear the level.
When the imprint of consciousness is deeply imprinted in your consciousness, you can gain sufficient authority. The size of the authority is directly proportional to your own spiritual power, so the cuckoo only gets a part of the authority here, and the medicine woman's authority is even smaller.
I don't know how much Situ has gained? Could it be all?
Thinking so, Aoki began to accept the etching of the imprint of consciousness.
"It's never going to be the same as what you see." The crow said to the cuckoo, "I guess what you see here is what you want to see." Well, that's it, so you see a man, then my master...... Oh my gosh......"
The coal boss tilted his head to look at the hole, "Who will this idiot see?" Oh no no, no, I have to take a look, for the sake of my dear Ruhua, for my sauce elbow! ”
As he spoke, he spread his wings and staggered into the hole with two claws that were good at jumping but not very good at walking.
"Hey, man, who do you see?" The crow stepped on Aoki's body and jumped next to his shoulder, looking up, "Quack? What is it? Croak! ”
It stretched its neck and pecked its beak at the vertex where the two triangles were connected, and the symbol suddenly made a 180-degree turn.
Although it still looked the same after turning around, it startled the crow: "What the hell! ”
Suddenly, it heard the sound of a crashing wave against the reef, coming from behind it.
The coal boss took a few steps outside the cave, carefully sticking his head out, and saw a huge wave of water in the abyss outside the cave rolling upwards.
It shrank its neck in fright and shouted, "Run...... Quack ......"
But before it could finish its words, the water was already pouring in. The powerful currents of water swept around it and Aoki's bodies, and exited the cave again, falling into the dark abyss.
Before falling, the coal boss quickly grabbed Aoki's hair with its sharp claws.
……
Aoki was receiving the etching of the imprint of consciousness, and suddenly felt the space around him collapse rapidly, just like the feeling of a dream collapsing the space when he woke up, but he couldn't calmly withdraw as he had done in the past, and his consciousness sank into darkness.
The only feeling left was the feeling that the hair on the top of his head was being pulled by something.
I don't know how long it took for him to come back to consciousness.
When I opened my eyes, it was still dark and I couldn't see anything. Wet underneath, I could feel the water slowly rising.
Aoki tried to sit up, but his head slammed into the top.
He fumbled in his pocket and found his phone. The phone was wet, but it still worked, and he turned on the flashlight.
He found himself still in this vaulted cavern.
The top of the cave is carved with a pattern that appears indistinct under the moss cover.
He wiped the moss with his hands, and the two triangles appeared. When he touched it with his hands and felt it with his mental power again, there was nothing but a cold feeling.
Just as he was about to give up, he noticed that there seemed to be some small nicks on the side of the symbol. He scraped off all the moss marks and mud on it with his fingernails, and when he looked closer, he found that it was a line of Japanese:
Kitano Masatake dreams are here.
……
The water level rose, and the waterfall outside the cave began to grow larger, and the sound of rushing water could be heard.
Aoki had to withdraw from the arch. He was also sure that he had withdrawn from the dream at the moment.
That symbol may not only be a backdoor for the dream-maker, but also a self-destruct device. It must have been him or the crow that triggered something that caused the underlying structure of this dream to collapse.
The cuckoo was lying in the river outside the cave, wearing the same clothes as in the small wooden building, and there were no signs of tatters. The river had already submerged her body, and Aoki went up and touched her snort and neck veins, then opened her eyelids and looked at her, giving up the idea of rescuing.
Iron cages hung on the banks of the river, the wires on the rock walls above had fallen off, and the spotlights had corroded and rusted.
The cage, half-submerged in water, reflected a faint black light under the flashlight. Many of the cages were littered with white bones, and some were still in full human form.
Aoki walked back along the riverbank, and soon heard the cry of "woo" and the cry of "help".
He walked over and saw Hanraiko's father and several brothers locked in a row of cages, and at this moment he saw the light of his mobile phone, lying on the iron railing and looking at him for help. Han Laizi didn't move at all, floating in the water, obviously dead.
The iron door of the cage at the end was open, and Aoki knew that this was the cage he had just been locked in. It stands to reason that between him and Han Laizi, there is also a crazy beggar. Strangely, the door of the cage was also open, and the mad beggar was gone.
There is a bunch of keys hanging from the cage door.
Aoki took off the key, walked to the cage of Hanraiko's family, and held the key in his hand: "I will give the key to Xiaoqin, you wait, if she is willing to come to save you." ”
The men in the cage looked at him, their eyes full of resentment that wanted to kill.
But as Aoki turned away, no matter how much resentment, anger, remorse, and fear, everything was swallowed up by the boundless darkness and silence, except for the sound of tapping and tapping footsteps in the distance.
