Chapter 147: The Strongest Nightmare
The gravity of Moon City is the repulsive force of the clouds, so Zhou Yu doesn't have any unusual feeling when he stands in the upside-down Moon City, just like in the real world, whether he is in the South Pole or the North Pole, the feeling is the same.
The rhizomes like blood vessels in the moon pillar hung down from the center of the ceiling, branching more and more down and thinner, densely protruding into the ground, looking like a dark red tent from a distance, and a little disgusting up close.
Zhou Yu squatted down and touched it, these "blood vessels" were cold, a little rough to the touch, and if you didn't look at the color, they were very ordinary roots.
"It would be nice if you could enter the root dream realm by pulling the roots, so that you don't have to go to the foundation moon city to touch the rattan, if everyone really does." He stood up and looked at the Shadow Demon behind him.
However, it was empty behind it, and it was gone.
Zhou Yu immediately looked up at the Moon Pillar, thinking that the Shadow Demon was bored and wanted to go back, but he couldn't see it on the Moon Pillar, and he couldn't find it around.
"It can't be ......" He remembered that the shadow demon collided with the ball lightning, causing his whole body to be burned, could it be that he had been holding on just now, and he died after coming here?
Impossible, it only took him a few seconds to crouch down and touch the roots of the tree, even if the Shadow Demon really died behind him, the corpse would not have disappeared so quickly, and there was no black smoke in the air, it would definitely not be dead.
Met an enemy?
This is the most likely, the ability of the Shadow Demon can make it instantaneous, as long as the third eye can see, it can be reached in the blink of an eye, it may have encountered another nightmare.
After opening [Blind] and taking a look, he didn't find anything abnormal anywhere he could see, and Zhou Yu began to run wildly around Moon City, looking for traces of the Shadow Demon.
The edge lines of the building will affect the line of sight, not too far to see, can only run to find, he took the moon pillar as the center, went out in a circle, farther and farther away from the moon pillar, and finally came to the city gate.
The upside-down Moon City did not have a city gate, but by the city wall, Zhou Yu found the Shadow Demon and pressed his back against the wall, looking nervous, looking around, as if he was afraid of something.
It can make the Shadow Demon afraid, this concept alone makes Zhou Yu scared, he carefully looked around, but found nothing, so he walked towards the Shadow Demon.
If there is a nightmare that he can't see, it's useless for him to be on guard, so he might as well walk over generously, if he can lure the invisible nightmare out, the Shadow Demon might be able to kill the nightmare.
The Shadow Demon's three eyes were wide open, and he saw Zhou Yu from a distance, but he was still clinging to the wall, ignoring him and looking around.
"What are you looking for?" Zhou Yu didn't expect a response from the Shadow Demon, so he asked casually.
Then, Shadow Fiend looked behind him.
Zhou Yu turned his head violently, still driving [blind], and saw a dummy model standing next to a building hundreds of meters away, wearing a very formal black suit and a black tie, facing them, but there were no facial features on his face, which was the kind of bald dummy that was very common in the window of a service store.
The special feature is that the model has a pair of wings on its back, cape-like wings with the tips pointing downward, and like the dummy's head, they are gray-white and made of what looks like stone instead of plastic
It stood motionless, like a clothed statue.
There must be something wrong with the dummy, but Zhou Yu really couldn't understand why the Shadow Demon was afraid, he turned his head to look at the Shadow Demon and was stunned for a moment.
"What do you see?" Zhou Yu asked curiously, turning his head to follow the Shadow Demon's line of sight.
He saw a mannequin in a formal black suit and tie, with a pair of wings behind him, no facial features, and what looked like a stone statue.
There must be something wrong with that thing, but Zhou Yu couldn't understand why the Shadow Demon was afraid, and he looked back at the Shadow Demon and was stunned for a moment.
"What do you see?" Zhou Yu turned around for the third time and saw the dummy, frowning slightly, unable to understand why the Shadow Demon was afraid of that thing, and turned his head to look at the Shadow Demon again.
Fourth, fifth, sixth ......
The frowns became tighter and tighter, Zhou Yu didn't know what was going on, a strong uneasiness rose in his heart, and he stuck to the wall like a shadow demon, and suddenly saw the dummy model a few hundred meters away.
"Angels?" He knew there must be something wrong with the dummy, but he didn't understand why the Shadow Fiend was afraid, so he took a closer look.
The dummy is a bit like a slender ghost, but it is neither thin nor long, about 1.8 meters, the figure is very standard, and the pair of wings is nothing special, very similar to the wings of the angel statue in the cemetery.
"Angel statue?" Thinking of this word, the uneasiness in Zhou Yu's heart was even stronger, and it was also mixed with some fear, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally understood the reason for the uneasiness.
He thought of The-Weeping-Angels.
Weeping Angels are one of the most impressive characters in Doctor Who, they are perfect creatures as old as the universe, they do not exist when observed, they turn into angel statues when they are looked at by any creature, and only when they look away or blink, they move, quickly approaching their target, obliterating them.
The premise of the Weeping Angel is very similar to SCP-173, both are original, and the idea should come from the game "123 Wooden Man", which is world-class, just like hide and seek.
Unlike SCP-173, Weeping Angels do not break people's necks, they do not take human lives, but time, and anyone touched by them will be transported outside of their own timeline to a new timeline and location, while the target's original timeline is taken by the Weeping Angel.
To put it simply, a weeping angel is a creature that can "cross over".
There is another reason why the dummy is associated with the Weeping Angel, and that is the suit on the dummy.
Another terrifying character in Doctor Who is The-Silence.
The setting of Silence is an ancient monster, there are many of them, and they have been living on Earth for a long time, and when you see a Silence, the moment you look away from it, you will forget the existence of Silence, forget that Silence once appeared in front of you, and you can only remember it when you see it again.
The silences are all dressed in black suits and red ties, and their faces are horrible enough to give a child nightmares.
"It's ...... Angel of Silence! Zhou Yu felt that the dummy was a combination of silence and weeping angels, all nightmares came from human nightmares, and he didn't know who made up the silent angels.
Silence is not as powerful as the Weeping Angel, and there is a way to deal with it, and that is to record their appearance when you see it, and even better if there is a photo or video.
But this trick can't be used against the Weeping Angel, any image of the Weeping Angel will eventually turn into a real angel, and if you have a picture of the Weeping Angel, then it will soon come out of the photo and erase you; If you have a video, it will come out of the display and erase you.
And staring into the eyes of the Weeping Angel for a long time, it will be imprinted in your mind and eventually turn you into a Weeping Angel.
If you can't see it, you forget, if you can't see it, you can't move, if you don't have eyes, maybe something will happen if you look at it for a long time, if it's really a silent angel, isn't there no way to deal with it? You have to look at it, but you can't look at it.
Zhou Yu thought about it carefully, and felt creepy, how many times have you seen the Angel of Silence on the way here? How many times have you seen it since you came? He didn't remember at all, only this time, and once he looked away, he had to forget even this time.
Shadow Fiend must have learned the power of the Angel of Silence, so he is afraid.
What now?
The Shadow Demon is also very strong, but after the strength increases, it is not impossible to deal with it, and the Silent Angel has no way to deal with it at all, and now I don't know how fast it is and how strong it is, just the ability to touch and pass through is very tangled.
"You're leaning against the wall, which means that the Angel of Silence also likes or has to go around behind the target? Is it safe to stick to a wall? Zhou Yu was almost about to turn back to see the Shadow Demon, but he held back in time, still staring at the Weeping Angel and said, "Why don't you keep an eye on it, and I will carry you, let's go back?" Who can fight this kind of bug-like nightmare?。 ”
Hearing Zhou Yu talking to him, the Shadow Demon turned his head to look at him, and when he turned his head, he forgot about the existence of Silence, and immediately searched for it, and soon found the Angel of Silence again, with a terrified expression on his face.
"How many times have you watched it? If you look too much, the Angel of Silence will drive you crazy. Zhou Yu said, came to the shadow demon and squatted down, and said, "Come, just do it, I'll carry you, you come, right...... Why should I carry you? ”
He followed the Shadow Fiend's gaze and suddenly remembered why, and whether the Shadow Fiend wanted it or not, he carried it on his back.
The Shadow Demon didn't resist, and Zhou Yu carried it on his back and walked towards the Angel of Silence.
Whether it was a stab, a cut, or a slash, the blade could not hurt the Angel of Silence, it was really a statue, still facing the position where Zhou Yu and the Shadow Demon were just now, motionless, as if it didn't know that Zhou Yu had come to its side.
He could only retreat away, the Shadow Fiend staring dutifully at the Angel of Silence, his third eye unblinking.
The position where Zhou Yu retreated was the Moon Pillar, and he wanted to hide in those vein-like roots, so that he didn't have to guard behind him.
Every time I look back at the road, I forget the existence of the Angel of Silence, but fortunately, I just can't remember it after I lose my gaze, instead of losing my memory. , as soon as you see the silence, you can remember everything.
But when he was too far away to see the Angel of Silence, the problem arose.
Zhou Yu couldn't remember why he was carrying the Shadow Demon on his back and turned around, causing the Shadow Demon's gaze to fall away from the Silent Angel.
The Shadow Demon came down from Zhou Yu's back, his face still worried, scratching his ears and cheeks in thought, but his attention was quickly attracted by the doors of the surrounding buildings, and he wanted to touch the darkness inside the door.
"Don't, I always have a feeling of uneasiness, figure out the situation......" Zhou Yu was about to pull it again, but this time it was a little late, and the shadow demon's fingertips touched the darkness, and it was sucked in with a "whoosh".
