After the man disappeared, silence returned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was no baby around, and it seemed that the blood moon ritual had been interrupted, as if everything had ended with the death of Mei Gao's nurse.
He walked back the way he had come, and as soon as he came out of the door, he saw the woman in white bow to him, and then disappear.
Maybe it's because the obsession that has been binding each other has disappeared, so it seems that the woman should be the mother of the baby.
This is the last of the castle, and there is nothing left unexplored. If the ritual of the Blood Moon was to end, then there would be no need to stay here.
But before he returns to the Hunter's Dream, he still has a few things to confirm.
Take out the hand rattle again, although the other party did not explain, but he can also understand the use, and the effect is similar to that of the rattle woman.
He didn't plan to use it now, but he could gain some knowledge from it in addition to using it correctly.
After a moment he withdrew the rattle, then took a step, and the next moment the space around him rippled. In a daze, he had left Mansis' nightmares behind, and reappeared in front of him in the hospital where he had first woken up.
The streets outside were still in tatters, and the blood moon still hung ominously in the sky, plunging the world into unrest.
The breath of the living was no longer felt along the way, and the dead silence was stronger than before.
As he passed a house, an unexpected movement stopped him from moving forward.
The iron-barred windows seemed to have been violently broken by something, and he remembered that the people who lived in the house had helped him.
As he approached, a beastly figure burst out of the window to attack him.
He subconsciously prepared to draw a knife, but instead grabbed the opponent's neck and pressed it against the wall on the way.
The other party is still struggling, and the black hair all over his body shows that the other party has been seriously beastified and has no help.
He surveyed the other's body, which was still wrapped in bandages.
He still remembered that the person who helped him was also from a foreign country, because of illness and physical problems.
"I'm sorry."
His words could no longer reach the other party's ears, and he applied force to his hand to end the other party's life as quickly as possible without any pain.
"Is it because of the Blood Moon?"
This is not a surprising circumstance, and it can even be said to be an inevitable consequence.
Crossing the street, we re-entered Templar Street.
Thankfully, the people in Orton's chapel haven't been beastived, but that doesn't mean it's any better. Everyone was huddled up alone, sometimes muttering, crying and laughing, and their spirits were almost in a frenzy.
When he came to the man in red, the other party could still recognize him, and he was in the best mental state among the people.
"Thank you, hunter. It's a real refuge, but I'm afraid no one will come again. There was no breath at all outside, and I suspect there was no one on the street anymore. Oh, God save us. Yanan is finished. ”
After speaking, the man in red made a sound that seemed to cry and laugh.
He left the chapel and stayed there to help these people as well.
Along the way, he walked through almost every area around Yanan.
While exploring the surroundings, he discovered a special situation. Although the blood moon hangs high in the Templar Street, in some places such as Old Yanan, the sky is still a white moon. It's as if they're not on the same plane.
After discovering this, the thoughts in his heart gradually turned into conviction.
After the investigation was completed, he returned to the Hunter's Dream through the lantern, and surprisingly, the Hunter's Dream that had always been the same was now burning in flames.
The fire spread to the exterior wall of the workshop, but the overall structure remained intact.
The puppet still stands by the stone steps, unresponsive to the flames behind it.
He walked over quickly, and spoke before he could speak.
"Good hunter, here you are. Dawn is coming. This night, and this dream, is coming to an end. ”
The other party seems to already know about his situation.
"The old hunter is waiting for you, right under the big tree."
"I see."
He nodded, and walked towards the large tree on the side of the workshop.
There was a very large tree on a slope covered with white flowers, so there was no mistake at all. The tree still has leaves, but it has a feeling that it is about to wither.
Approaching the big tree, just as the puppet said, the old hunter sat in a wheelchair in front of the root of the tree.
"Well done, hunter. The night is coming to an end. You will die, forget about this dream, and wake up in the morning sun. ”
He was not surprised to hear the words of the old hunter.
"Sure enough, the world itself is a dream."
The words that the Nightmare Lord had said when he died, the strange scenery that appeared in different areas here, and the reality of the deepening understanding and contact with this world all revealed this information. Whether it's the hunter's dream, Yanan's, or Mansis' nightmare, it's all the same.
But even though it's a dream, it's not an ordinary dream. When there is no difference between a dream and reality, is it still a dream? What is the boundary between dreams and reality?
"Answer me."
Interrupting the old hunter's next words, he forced his gaze at the other party.
"Who is sustaining this dream?"
“……”
The old hunter was silent. But it's not about how to answer.
"Hehehe."
Suddenly, the old hunter laughed, and a compelling aura emanated from him.
"Looks like I'm not going to answer."
He was ready for battle, and the old hunter got up from his wheelchair.
"In that case......
In an instant, it was impossible to grasp what was happening, and the figure of the old hunter had disappeared from the front.
"The results are no different."
The second half of the sentence suddenly came from behind him.
He pounced as fast as he could, and when he looked back, the old hunter had moved behind him.
Perhaps because of his calmness, the old hunter did not attack just now.
"Can't you see through it?"
Even if he had actually mastered the method of moving through the dream, he could not grasp the old hunter's movements, which seemed to have nothing to do with the skill itself.
"And ......"
"You can't run away from the prey that is targeted by a hunter."
The means of moving in the dream are sealed.
"So I said it wasn't different."
The old hunter appeared behind him again, and this time it must have been a fatal blow.
"Really?"
Bell~~~!
The crisp bell rang suddenly, and the movements of the old hunter behind him stopped.
"What...... Is it? ”
This is probably the first time that the other party has been shocked. However, it should not be because of a sword piercing his chest, but because a third person appeared here itself.
"Finally in."
The man holding the moonlight sword said lightly.
