Chapter 170: Dreams and Phantoms (Part II)
Dizziness and distorted vision. Shilinya had never tried this sensation, it was like a hangover, but it was more severe.
The hangover was getting stronger, the hallucinations were eating away at her brain, and now she could see the strange world and hear the whispers of confusion, the touch on her body was gone, and she couldn't remember where she was.
The bizarre physical sensation brought her not only mental messiness, but also a wave of nausea, like seeing some mentally polluted ghost animals.
"Are you awake?" Shirinya said softly but forcefully as she noticed someone slapping her face during a long period of insanity.
(āvā) Uh-huh......"
"Get up when you wake up. "It seems that this is my mother.
The world of light and shadow slowly faded into her eyes, and what entered her vision was bright and soft sunlight, but the strange thing was that this sunlight did not convey any temperature to her, as if it were a shadow.
"This is the ......" blurred vision gradually cleared, what appeared in her eyes was the MC block world she had seen before, the difference is that now this block world has no boring and monotonous blankness, and there are several basic colors.
Deep blue sky, white puffy clouds, green leaves, brown earth, and graffiti-stained buildings......
The scenery in front of her seems normal, but the last building she sees gives her the illusion of whether she is in a postmodern art exhibition, and the colors on the buildings can only be created by a drunken Picasso with splashes of ink.
"Uh...... When did you become like this......" Shilinya's original hazy state immediately disappeared, and the changes in front of her really scared her a lot.
"I was made like this by that puppet, and I wanted to experience the style of another world in person...... The result ......" Alicia, who was standing nearby, rubbed her temples and complained, her disappointment was self-evident.
"Really?" Shilinya looked around and found herself and her mother sitting on a chair made of squares, and the cube people with several basic colors in front of them came and went, they were like puppets of fate arranged by a fixed program, and they were familiar with the two who were completely wrong with the style of painting.
"Is this my dream?" Shilinya asked, puzzled, as only her mother seemed to be able to answer.
"Here are the remnants of the intruder's memory. ā
Intruder? It seems that she has a very big opinion about her past life......
Shilinya thought of this, and the state that was originally between confusion and sobriety became extremely entangled, as if the gap between herself and her mother was her predecessor.
"Don't think about that. Suddenly, Shilinya found herself in her mother's arms, her hand gently caressing her head, just like she had done with a toddler ten years ago, "I can help you get rid of the intruder." I'll get you back to normal. ā
It's not what she wants, but what should she tell her? Shilinya struggled.
"Mom ......" for a long time, Shilinya made up her mind to confess her thoughts to the other party.
"Something?" But it wasn't her mother's voice that responded to her first.
Shirinya, who was embraced, was slowly released, her eyes past her mother, and finally she saw the doll slowly walking from the distant street. She is still wearing a dress with a black tone, and the black and white outfit is particularly conspicuous among the many square people with only monotonous colors.
"Who is she?" Shilinya didn't have any information about the person who suddenly appeared in front of her, she didn't know the identity of the other party, let alone the purpose of the other party.
"The god of dreams and phantoms. ā
"Well?" Why did the legendary dragon see the heads and tails of the gods appear in front of him one after another?
"She doesn't have a name, because she thinks it's nothing more than an ethereal thing, you can call her a dream. She was the only one who accepted the title given by others. Alicia explained as she stared at Shirinya's eyes that weren't focused on her.
"Dreamy?" Shilinya prefers to call the other person a nightmare, a god who lives in other people's dreams and feeds on the fears of others by creating nightmares.
However, nightmare is a derogatory term, and it is undoubtedly rude to address each other when they meet.
"What is she here for?" Shirinya, seeing that the nightmare was still far from herself, immediately asked her mother. Little is known about this deity, who exists in an ethereal dream. What is it that she enters into people's dreams for, just to collect fear for her own food?
There is a lot of controversy about this deity in the books Shilinya has seen, and there are a thousand different theories among a thousand researchers, and each one is far from each other.
"For those memory dregs. Alicia shifted Shirenea's dreamy gaze to herself.
"So, what are we doing with her?"
"You can't make a deal and you can't let her gain memories in vain without any effort. As she spoke, the corners of Alicia's mouth had already drawn a shallow smile.
"Say what you think, my new sister. Before she knew it, Dream had come to the side of the two, her eyes made of unknown materials staring at the mother and daughter staring at each other.
"I need to get some intel in exchange for allowing you to get what you want here. Alicia didn't take her eyes off because of the arrival of the people around her, her eyes were always on Shilinya in front of her, and her every move, the slightest change in feelings, was included in it.
Isn't that mine? How can I trade it with others without asking myself?
Shilinya heard her mother's words, and her originally calm heart was turbulent. She seemed to feel that the scene in front of her had been seen somewhere, and where was it?
That's right! How similar to the parents in the previous life peeking into their own diaries and handling their own things without asking!
"Do you care about those things?" witnessed all the changes in Shilinya's feelings, and Alicia's face grew darker.
"I care, those are me, my last memories. ā
ā......ā
"It seems that the question of ownership has not been dealt with by either of them. Dream quickly lost patience with the conversation between the two, "Come to me when you guys are done discussing it!"
"Stop!"
"Yes. "The puppet that was about to leave immediately stopped his steps, deftly turned around, and returned to his original form," long story short. ā
"I guess you know what I'm here for, right?" Alicia gave up making eye contact with Shilinya, and she left the rectangular chair where the two of them were sitting.
"You want to get information about Islevi, but unfortunately I can't help you with anything about it. The puppet sighed softly, and its childish head lowered in frustration, like a child who couldn't get a toy, "I'm not familiar with him, and I don't know any information about the other party." But I also want to live and study here, and maybe we can talk about other exchanges. ā
Shirinya looked at the diminutive figure in front of her in disbelief, wondering why the other party actually agreed to her mother's offer of a deal, and was willing to pay the price for staying in this place.
"I just captured his apostle, do I think you can help me then?"
"That's fine. "The puppet's head taps its head" was able to enter his apostle's dreams to gain her memories and get information about him. But I don't think you can get much out of it, because he's known for his cunning. ā
"When his apostle rushed at us, he reacted very strongly, and I think that apostle must have a very important secret in him. At this moment, Shilinya immediately interjected into the conversation between the two.
At the time of the siege, the anger expressed by Isleivi, who was possessed by the dragon, is still engraved in his heart. I think that the undead infighting I saw was the work of the two undead high-level, and Mary, who was directly hitting the city wall, might be mutinied, and she must have carried some important information to cause Isleiwei to react so much.
"Whatever. The puppet does not refute Shilinya's explanation, and in his opinion, the fight between the two sides does not have much to do with him.
"You, stay," the doll commanded as he pointed at Shilinya, before saying to Alicia, "Go back and get ready." ā
"Yes. Alicia suddenly leaned down and approached the puppet's little head, "Don't make a small fuss about her." ā
"Did you go out of your way to come in here just to threaten me?"
"Hmph. ā
