Chapter 4: Sinners
"Dreams are related to thinking, and thinking can break through the limits of time." Regarding the timeline, Taibai said: "Regarding the timeline here, there are two things you need to remember: first, the time in Moon City is different from the time in the real world, no matter how long you stay here, it is a momentary thing in the real world, don't worry about someone waking you up, it will not affect your sleep quality, on the other hand, you must have enough sleep to enter Moon City, not a nap to enter again." ”
After a pause, she continued: "Second, the rattan dream - that is, the dream within a dream - has no timeline, and you can even enter the dream of the ancients, maybe a hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, or even ten thousand years ago, so after entering the rattan dream, you had better not say too many irrelevant things to the dream weaver, so as not to leave something in the dream weaver's subconscious and cause the butterfly effect, although the probability of this happening is very low. ”
"The butterfly effect? It's a synonym for trouble. Zhou Yu frowned and said: "According to this, it is impossible for us to enter the dream realm of future generations, so as not to know the future and create a butterfly effect." ”
"Correct." Taibai squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Yu: "Are you really working in a coffee shop?" It doesn't look like it can be thought of in an instant. ”
Zhou Yu pursed his lips and interrupted her: "Comrade, your ideological consciousness is not high enough, there is no distinction between high and low professions, everything is beneficial to ......"
"Gotta don't give me a politics lesson." Taibai also interrupted Zhou Yu with a smile.
While he was laughing, a man suddenly walked in through the door.
This is an Oriental man, wearing a black suit, a bit like a tunic, the material is soft, his wet hair is combed back, his right hand is in his trouser pocket, he is handsome and cool, and he is barefoot.
Seeing Taibai's smile, he was a little surprised, stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Zhou Yu again, his brows furrowed in an imperceptible magnitude for a moment.
"He's a bento, newcomer, you take him to the Moon Pillar, I've already roughly said about the Moon City, and the Moon God Tree and Dream Fu haven't been said yet." Taibai got up, pointed at Zhou Yu and finished talking to this person, then turned his head to Zhou Yu and said, "He is a 'hidden dragon', you follow him to the moon pillar, and ask him if you have any questions." ”
"Hidden but not revealed, the virtuous and unexpected, good name." Zhou Yu gave a thumbs up to the hidden dragon and asked Taibai, "Are you leaving?" The location of the wake up is random, which means that it is difficult for us to encounter it again in the future? ”
Taibai smiled and walked towards the door: "Yes, it's hard to meet again, but you can learn how to contact one day, and you can see it then." ”
"Oh, okay." Zhou Yu watched her walk out of the door and disappear into the rain.
"Let's go too, if there are any problems, we will talk about them as we go." Qianlong smiled at Zhou Yu, his smile was very sunny, and he turned around and walked towards the door, but after turning around, his face became a little gloomy.
"Okay." Zhou Yu followed him to the door, and saw that Taibai just walked around the corner and disappeared, so he asked curiously, "Why didn't she go to the Moon Pillar?" Doesn't it mean that only the moon pillar is safe? Could it be that she likes to kill nightmares? ”
"She just can't get close to the moon pillar." Qianlong took Zhou Yu to a big road, the road was very wide, but the road was curved.
"Why?" Zhou Yu was even more curious, Taibai said that the moon pillar is the core area, a very important place.
"Because she is a sinner." Qianlong said calmly: "In Moon City, sinners are those who have killed people, and they are never allowed to come near the Moon Pillar again. ”
Zhou Yu was stunned and involuntarily stopped.
The hidden dragon didn't look back and continued to walk forward: "Don't stop, my zero power will cause troublesome nightmares." ”
"Taibai killed the bad guys, right?" Zhou Yu didn't rush to leave, looked around, and looked at the corner where Taibai disappeared, but unfortunately she couldn't be found anymore, with the identity of "sinner", the chance of the two meeting again was even slimmer.
Qianlong nodded: "That's a bad guy that many people want to kill, but like the real world, you can't kill just because the other party is a bad guy, not killing is one of the few strict rules in Moon City, and not being able to get close to the Moon Pillar is also a very severe punishment." ”
"Oh." Zhou Yu nodded and quickly followed the hidden dragon.
If there was no rule that no killing was allowed, then the living environment of Moon City might be 10,000 times crueler than it is now, and the sinners were just not allowed to get close to the Moon Pillar, at least leaving a way to live.
Qianlong said lightly: "In Moon City, although we can heal no matter how many injuries we have, we can feel pain when we are injured, so if there is a conflict, we can fight, and use beatings, amputated limbs, and even Ling Chi to vent our anger, but we can't kill people." ”
"Well, it's nice to resolve conflicts in such a simple and crude way, but there aren't many conflicts, right? Everyone is busy brushing zero power, by the way, in addition to entering the rattan dream, what other way can you get zero power? Zhou Yu didn't ask anything related to Taibai again, Qianlong's coldness was too obvious, and the reason was not difficult to guess.
"There are three ways to increase Zero Force, the best way is to enter someone else's dream through the Luna Tree and complete the task; The second is to hunt nightmares, the stronger the nightmare killed, the more zero power you get; The third is to look for the zero crystals in all corners of Moon City, that is, the crystals of zero force, but good zero crystals are always in very dangerous places, so this method is rarely used, no matter which method is used, it is always good to keep a low profile in Moon City. Qianlong replied to Zhou Yu's question briskly, but in the end, the warning in his tone was very obvious.
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Agreed, I have a friend who said that as long as you are as low-key as, no one will step on you." ”
Hearing such vulgar words, the hidden dragon frowned and didn't say anything.
…………
The nightmare never appeared, Zhou Yu followed behind the hidden dragon, walked along this curved road for a while, and finally saw the bottom of the moon pillar, where there was a triangular entrance, and there was a small square in front of the entrance, and there were many people in the square.
The hidden dragon, who was silent for a long time, finally spoke: "In Moon City, no one will force you to do anything, you can enter the rattan dream, hunt nightmares, find Zero Crystal, and explore Moon City, but it is best to stay near the Moon Pillar and resist those 'extraordinary nightmares' who are attracted by everyone's zero power, that kind of nightmare cannot be dealt with by one person, there are many people and strong people near the Moon Pillar, there are many strong people, don't worry about a powerful nightmare chasing you." ”
Zhou Yu nodded, and said with some hesitation: "There is a very important question I want to ask. ”
"What?" The dragon asked, looking back.
Zhou Yu pointed to his inner stuff with two index fingers and said, "You all have clothes, why am I naked?" Can you tell me where you got your clothes? I'm going to get one too. ”
The rain didn't stop, and his chin and crotch were dripping.
"What you wear to sleep, you can wake up with what you wear, if it's inconvenient or unaccustomed to sleeping in clothes, you can also find a nightmare with clothes after waking up, kill the nightmare and get the clothes, the clothes will automatically absorb your zero power to maintain the original state, and it won't disappear until you leave Moon City, but the shoes are hard to find, so it's all ......naked," Qianlong said this, suddenly stopped, and a restless look appeared on his face.
As soon as he saw his appearance, Zhou Yu knew that something was wrong, and before he had time to ask, he felt the vibration of the ground, full of rhythm, as if there was a piledriver working far away.
He just felt the vibration, and the hidden dragon could feel that the vibration was getting stronger and stronger, which meant that a huge nightmare was approaching, and said a word in a deep voice: "Run!" ”
Zhou Yu reacted very quickly, the tail note of the word "run" had not yet fallen, his feet had already stepped out, he rushed forward in the rain, and the hand knife ran out, he felt that the strength of the hidden dragon should be similar to that of Taibai, and Taibai easily solved those nightmares just now, and at this time the hidden dragon fled without a fight, which is enough to show the seriousness of the matter.
The hidden dragon ran next to Zhou Yu, looking back from time to time, every time he turned back, Zhou Yu's tension increased a little, and after a few times, he finally couldn't help but look back, and his knees were slightly weak in fright.
I saw a huge nightmare in the distance behind him, sixty or seventy meters high, the body was the same as a human, but the head was obviously different, the eyes, nose and mouth were very protruding, like a shaved Chihuahua, the arms were relatively thin, like a snake body can be bent at will, the hands were like crab claws, only one leg, but extremely thick, the feet were hooves, jumping forward, each step could cross a long distance.
Just by looking at the body shape, you know that this should be the transcendent nightmare that Qianlong said.
The people near the moon pillar all moved and concentrated in this direction, each with a weapon in their hands, some standing in the square ready to attack, some jumping onto the roofs of nearby buildings to attract the attention of the nightmare, and some hiding in the gaps between the buildings, intending to carry out a sneak attack.
Turning back again, Zhou Yu roughly estimated that the nightmare would be able to catch up with them in another minute or so, and the frequency of its jumps was not too fast, if he was lucky, the nightmare would jump over his head, and if he was unlucky, he would be stepped on.
"Into the path?" Even if he can run a thousand meters in a minute and rush to the small square, he probably won't be able to escape the Nightmare's attack, and the Nightmare's feet are too big to fit on the path, even if the Nightmare can trample the house down, they can avoid the Nightmare's sight before being stepped on, and the Nightmare will most likely ignore them and jump straight towards the moon pillar.
"No, keep running, the closer you get to the moon pillar, the better." The hidden dragon glanced back, expressionless, unable to see what he was planning.
Zhou Yu could only continue to run, this feeling of not knowing anything and not being able to grasp anything made him very uncomfortable, strong men, tentacles, and giant nightmares could easily kill him in seconds, and he could at most put down Edward and trample on the little spider, which made him feel very aggrieved.
In addition to the grievances, there is a faint uneasiness in the heart, part of the uneasiness comes from the nightmare, but more from the people in the moon city, people are more terrible than nightmares in many cases, such as the hidden dragon next to him, the attitude of the hidden dragon is already obvious, the question is what is he thinking? What's the plan?
