Chapter 68: The Second Dream
Maybe it's because of the feeling of relief after laughing heartily, or maybe it's because of the tense nerves that haven't been relaxed for days. Anyway, after talking to the old Ranger Quinn, André had the most restful sleep in a few days.
This time, he inexplicably re-entered the strange dream that had haunted him.
The joint research institute where he worked in his previous life - "9573".
Walking aimlessly in the empty and unmanned experimental building, Andre, who was incarnated as "Dragon White Light" this time, wandered in the dream for a long time, but did not find anything abnormal. A laboratory building with normal power supply, undefended laboratories, and no popularity is a very strange thing in itself.
It wasn't until he searched room by room until he reached the six-and-a-half-story stairwell that André discovered something slightly different from the other rooms in the entire building.
It was an electronic lock metal fence door that needed to be verified by palm prints, and the indicator light flashed a non-dazzling but very eye-catching red light.
Since there was no other way to explore the building, which had no doors or windows to open to the building, Andre had no choice but to try to open the electronic door and prepare to continue exploring.
"Hello, Researcher Qin Jinyan, Characteristic Verification Department...... Verified ...... "With the soft but emotionless synthesized sound of the smart electronic lock, the alloy door leading to the upper floor slowly opened a gap symbolizing the unknown after emitting a subtle metallic sound.
But Andre in the dream was stunned......
Qin bedrock?
Who's that!?
Isn't my name Long Baiguang, in what gene!?
The sudden discomfort caused Andre to feel strong unease and suspicion, and he rummaged through his pockets in a panic, and then pulled out an identity card from which he felt a little familiar.
"9573 Joint Research Institute, Characteristic Verification Department, Qin Jinyan", the card made of composite materials is a young face that is completely different from "Dragon White Light", but it also makes Andre feel a little familiar......
Is this really a dream made up of memories of my past life!?
André, who had no memory of the specific experiences of his past life and was like seeing flowers in a fog, had such doubts for the first time. However, the laboratory building and every laboratory gave him a sense of familiarity that he had not seen for a long time, and even included the faces of "Long Baiguang" and "Qin Jinyan...... And this familiar name.
At this time, Andre just wanted to find a mirror and personally confirm what kind of face this body in a white coat had.
But he also noticed that the light source at the corner of the stairway upstairs didn't seem to be quite the same as the incandescent light, anyway, the whole building had already been briefly seen, so it was better to go upstairs and have a look first.
Turning the corner after stepping up the stairs, the dazzling sunlight shone directly on Andrei's face, making him squint and raise his hand to cover it.
It's a surprising desert, and the scenery in the distance is gravel except for the loess. Not far away, the concrete platform appears to be a tarmac for large helicopters, and appears to be littered with debris and weeds due to lack of clearance.
It turned out that the so-called "sixth floor" of the laboratory building was actually the basement floor of the underground test facility, and there were several entrances similar to the "laboratory building" in the wall composed of cement walls and barbed wire. Andrei seemed to suddenly think that those were supposed to be the entrances to the other experimental buildings and living quarters.
Although the Son of the Abyss wanted to find a clear mirror in the living area at the moment to verify what was going on between "Dragon White Light" and "Qin Jinyan". But there was something within the walls of the base that caught his attention in the first place.
It was a huge sand dune that wasn't supposed to be inside the research facility, though it was easy to see that the entire research base was built in the desert or on the edge of the next door. However, it is clear that the complete sandy geology is not suitable for the construction of underground facilities, and the moving sand dunes deep in the desert will also cause a fundamental obstacle to the daily maintenance of the base.
In summary, although it is arid, there should be no sand dunes that can move with the wind, as the poplar forest not far from the base illustrates.
But how did this huge sand dune, which is nearly three stories high, end up inside the base? Could it have fallen from the sky out of thin air!?
It is not strange that there are many incomprehensible places in the dreamland, and what child has not experienced a more bizarre dream? Judging from the previous experience, these things that made him feel abnormal were exactly what this dream world, which was so real that he could barely distinguish between real and fake, wanted to pay attention to him.
The scorching and fluffy sand dunes were not suitable for climbing, and it took a lot of effort for Andrei to reach the top of the hill with both hands and feet.
A stone platform with a distinctly different style from the entire dream appeared in his sight, and the mysterious and peculiar black marks on it, Andrei, although almost all of them were unrecognizable, still knew their approximate provenance. They are all supposed to be runes composed of shadow runes and ancient demon scripts, perhaps recording a lot of mysterious information that is plausible but may indicate some unknown meaning?
In addition to these, there is also a gravure on the stone platform the size of an adult's palm. From the sharp claws, these details seem to be more like the horned and fire demon palms under his command, rather than designed for humans.
"Do you need demon blood?" said Andre muttered as he held out his hand.
A strange black-purple "light" suddenly appeared in front of the Children of the Abyss, and it was accompanied by a blue arc of electricity, slowly expanding from a singularity, and a powerful attraction came from it, bringing up a lot of wind and sand and a lot of dust that people could barely open their eyes!
"Portal!?" In the next moment, Andre, who couldn't resist the powerful suction, fell into the abyss behind the oval space-time rift......
......
Livia, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked at Andrei, who was still frowning in his sleep, and sat up so suddenly, the succubus who was still a little distracted just now and wanted to touch Andrei's delicate cheeks was so frightened by her actions that he respected His Highness and almost fell under the bed.
Andrei, who woke up in a dream, looked around a little dazedly.
Well, it's in Andrarui's own bedroom.
Looking at the empty stone bedside table, the Child of the Abyss touched the top of his head, and then plucked the inexplicable thing off his head—the crown of blood-colored thorns again.
"It was already on your head when I woke up, Your Highness. Because this may be out of the will of the great abyss, the slave will not dare to disobey ......" Livia lowered her head and explained with some fear, although Her Highness did not say it explicitly, but the succubus knew that the last time, Her Highness had suspected that she had put this crown on his head while she was sleeping.
"You're doing the right thing, don't just take it off the next time you see it running over my head. Andre patted the succubus's white and delicate shoulder comfortingly. It's just that at this time, he didn't have the heart to think about other issues, and it was obvious that the strange dream eight achievements originated from this strange living plant that was also strange and could move on its own.
And the source of the dream is just as the succubus said, it is very likely that the guy who made demands on himself when his body was formed, the dark source who questioned how to be a good leader, asked him to guide this group of confused bastards!
Well, at least it creaked quietly when I needed help the most. Not as completely irresponsible as imagined!
"Livia, you go and contact the elven and dwarven elders, and gather the leaders of your clan who don't have the logistics at hand. Andre brushed his cheeks with clear water, sobering up his still somewhat confused thoughts.
......
Seeing that everyone gathered was very serious waiting for him to speak, facing dozens of subordinates and a larger number of foreign friends, Andre finally said the revelation he had received in the thorny dream.
"I wanted to go to the top of Shattered Hollow Mountain and maybe I'll know what to do next. ”
