Chapter 35. Nightmare 1
"I thought it was hidden deep in the desert."
The silver fox muttered.
Zhou Jinru glanced at her, in fact, this statement is not wrong, even between reality and dreams, it is still in a desert.
Kobayashi Zongxin warned loudly: "Attention! We are getting closer and closer to the Eternal City! ”
The group of them obviously stood still and did not move, but the black city far away in the sky was constantly approaching, and in just a few minutes, it was already close in front of them.
I don't know when, a stone and brick road appeared in the desert, leading to the Eternal City.
Partridge, kneeling on the ground, trembled and scrambled to his feet, his tone tinged with reverence: "Behold, Lord Nightmare is calling us! ”
He couldn't wait to walk up the stone brick road, and after running a few steps on his thin legs, he found himself being lifted.
The thin old man was suspended in the air, waving his limbs wildly, unable to struggle, and he shouted with anger on his face: "You ignorant fanatics! How dare you be presumptuous in front of Lord Nightmare! ”
"Quiet, if you say half a word more, I'll pull out your tongue."
Mr. Four, who was wearing a mask, said a rather terrible threat in a flat tone, and Partridge immediately closed his mouth, and could see that this person was different from the other four, and he had a terrible anger on his body.
Zhou Jinru nodded with satisfaction, looked at the others, and said lightly: "Kelsey and I came late, I don't know the specific situation, now I have a question, I hope you can answer it." ”
Kobayashi Zongxin nodded: "Please speak." ”
"This man said to bring you to the Eternal City, and all he had to do was take that map and say a prayer after the sun disappeared, so why did he have to take the adventurers? Listening to his tone, there are more than a group of people who have been here before, and according to the rumors circulating in the outside world, no one who has seen the Eternal City should have been able to leave, this is a trap. ”
His subtext is that people like you can be deceived?
Silver Fox crossed his arms: "First of all, for your question, we have already answered it before, the Eternal City cannot trap us, and it cannot kill us, this is the difference, and secondly, the condition given by Partridge is that we protect him from entering the Eternal City, and there will be danger on the way." ”
"Okay, now it's no problem," Zhou Jinru nodded at Kelsey, motioning for her to put the old man down, "I know that you all want to go to the city now, please cheer up 120,000 spirits, although you will not die, but you will definitely be uncomfortable if you are injured." ”
Linlang glanced at Kelsey, looked at her husband, and said nothing.
Wrong!
Something is wrong, Kelsey would trust that man so much!
The thing that brought up Partridge was definitely Mon3tr, and there was nothing fake about that, so Kelsey wouldn't be someone else's pretend.
That is, now there is a stranger who has gained her trust.
Zhou Jinru didn't mind their eyes, he walked up to Partridge, squatted down patiently, and said seriously: "I'm sorry for what happened just now, please don't mind." ”
"Humph!"
The old man snorted and turned to walk towards the stone brick road.
Kobayashi Zongxin said in a low voice: "Wouldn't it be too cautious?" ”
Zhou Jinru shook his head slightly: "Staring at him, so many adventurers died here, how can it be so simple." ”
"To be honest, your tone and style of doing things are very similar to a friend of mine."
"You can take me as him for a while, maybe there will be a lot less estrangement between us."
Zhou Jinru was the second to embark on this path, and the amazing thing was that every time he took a step forward, the distance between him and the Eternal City was accelerating and decreasing, and the actual time spent was much less than expected.
But the closer he got to the black city, the heavier the depression became, as if he was not facing a silent ruin city, but a fortress of war.
"The rumored Eternal City turned out to be like this, look at those ballista carts on the city walls, after so many years, they can still be intact?"
Kelsey's expression was solemn, and his tone was serious: "There are many secrets in this land, and I can feel that this city is still alive, and it is not dead. ”
"I feel that way, too."
Linlang followed half a meter behind Kelsey, and the person walking behind her was her husband Kobayashi Munobu.
The silver fox held the detector in his hand, and his brows were tightly locked: "The air composition is normal, there is no peculiar smell, and there is no need for a gas mask for the time being." ”
"We couldn't see the city before, could it be because of the optics in the desert?"
"Nope."
Zhou Jinru and Linlang spoke at the same time, and the latter motioned for him to speak first.
"I have a special ability that no illusion can work, and the city is not real."
After thinking for a moment, Linlang shook his head and said, "It's really not real, if it's through optical effects, I can see through it." ”
"That ......"
"Dreams, or historical backtracking, hehe, sounds amazing, but we're walking in a piece of history."
Zhou Jinru is very familiar with these things, he has experienced them a few times, from the dream ceremony of the Deep Sea Council to the dream simulation of Rhode Island, he has long been familiar with the road.
Sometimes dreams are no different from reality, the difference is in the perspective of the person experiencing it.
"Be careful!"
Kelsey, who was following Zhou Jinru, suddenly shouted, Zhou Jinru had already moved before she made a sound, and there was nothing in front of him, but his hand was like an unpredictable prophet, leaned out in advance, grabbed something with his five fingers, and threw it on the stone brick road.
Rumble!
Masonry cracks!
A twisted monster gradually emerged, unable to recognize a human form, let alone what it was.
Zhou Jinru stepped on the twisted monster with one foot, letting it struggle and not move at all.
"This is a distorted creature, maybe a human being, or an animal, let it go!"
Partridge, who didn't know where to hide, came out and shouted at the top of his voice.
Zhou Jinru looked at him, and the latter shrank his neck, as if remembering the previous threat.
"Do you know what this is?"
"Of course I do! Lord Nightmare's cowardly army and King Sargon's personal guard led the war against the demons, and in the end, the scales of war tipped in our favor and the demon invasion was completely defeated! ”
As a riddler, Partridge proudly speaks of his achievements that year.
Kelsey on the side looked at him quietly: "This is a long time ago, the people who experienced it have long been buried in the ground, history has become legends, legends have become myths, and now the people of Sargon only think that it is a heroic epic." ”
After finishing off the twisted creatures with their own hands, they were only a few hundred meters away from the city gate, but at this moment, a low horn sound echoed under the gray sky.
