Chapter 435: Confusion
Swish!
Chen Lun sat up from the bed with reluctance.
His solemn gaze quickly swept over his surroundings, and he found himself in an unfamiliar room, with a clear smell of flowers in his nose.
It was pitch black outside the window, and the surging light of the purple moon spilled in through the windowsill, and the atmosphere was a little quiet. The confusion flashed in his heart, and Chen Lun recalled that it was in Mrs. Caroline's apartment.
'Can the influence of the Sleeping Gate even extend into the present world......
He suddenly became extremely wary of the door that must be passed through to the dream world.
Whew!
A few smaller figures appeared beside Chen Lun's bed.
It was Nada and a dozen other black cat warriors.
"Where is this ......?!"
Nada got up and shook its head a little dazedly, and it subconsciously picked up the giant axe beside it, vigilantly observing the unfamiliar environment.
When the group of black cat warriors saw Chen Lun sitting on the bed, their faces were happy and respectful, and they hurriedly raised their paws and saluted.
"Lord Roller!"
Na A asked curiously:
"Is this the world?"
Chen Lun nodded at them, then raised his index finger and put it to his lips.
"That's right, this is the world...... But please keep quiet, otherwise it will cause unnecessary commotion. ”
"We listen to you."
Nada suddenly realized and said cautiously.
It turned its head and whispered to its black cat brothers, and in an instant, it turned into a good baby, put away its weapon, and squatted on the ground.
It's just that their curious eyes can't help but glance left and right, looking at the environment, cat-stricken, funny.
Chen Lunwan smiled, then turned his attention to the next room.
After listening quietly for a while, through the [Five Senses], he sensed that Mr. Taute was still lying on the bed sleeping, breathing steadily.
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
'Huh? Could it be that Mr. Taut is still trapped in ...... dream world? ’
He told the black cats not to wander around the room, and he teleported over a wall and appeared next to Mr. Tauter.
After a brief investigation, Chen Lun let out a long breath.
It was just spiritual fatigue and a lethargy...... By daybreak, he should be able to wake up like a normal person. ’
Glancing at the wall clock on the wall, it was already two o'clock in the morning, and Mrs. Caroline had already fallen asleep, and Chen Lun was not bothered, so he went back to his room.
Chen Lun poured himself a glass of water, then turned his head to answer them and asked:
"Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat? ”
"It doesn't matter, Lord Volumener, we're used to it."
Nada hurriedly waved his hand.
Its stomach cooed in protest, and then it was like a chain reaction, causing the bowels to sound throughout the room, one after another, like a symphony.
The black cats lowered their heads in embarrassment.
It is not easy for them to survive in the dream world, and as the pollution increases, food becomes more and more scarce, and hunger is common.
Chen Lun smiled and shook his head, looking at this group of black cat warriors with pity.
They are all transcendent creatures with simple personalities, and even if they have the strength of the transcendents in the middle sequence, they are now like ordinary stray cats, which attracts sympathy.
"Don't worry, the material wealth in this world is not as barren as in the dream world...... You won't go hungry again. ”
Chen Lun took out a stack of dry food pastries from the Blood Poetry Ring, as well as some jerky and canned food. He placed the kettle on the table aside for food, then raised his hand to signal.
"Let's make do with these first, and when it gets dawn, you come back to the station with me, and then eat some good ones."
"Thank you, Lord Volumer!"
Nada hurriedly thanked him.
The black cats saluted gratefully and immediately devoured their food.
Chen Lun looked at them with a smile, then leaned against the head of the bed, his eyes lowered.
He began to think about his experience in the dream world and the end of darkness, and many questions swirled in his mind, which made Chen Lun confused.
If Arnold is another prince of the Sun Crown, as I suspected, then why is she at the end of the darkness? Is the sinner in Dazlet's mouth referring to Arnold......
His brow furrowed slightly.
And how strong is Arnold's strength to be able to single-handedly cut through the countless years at the end of the darkness, even if only the remnants are left, he can still isolate the spread of most of the polluted insects...... If it weren't for her, wouldn't the world have faced a terrible catastrophe? ’
Chen Lun took a deep breath and took out the ring token that Arnold had given him in Wonderland, and the phrase "Hunt the darkness forever" was engraved on the inside.
Rubbing his thumb lightly on the ring, he wondered if he could find an opportunity to ask Princess Anna about the relevant information.
As a veteran player of the plot party, Chen Lun smelled the important task of the royal family's secrets from these clues...... Perhaps, he can dig it out and get a huge reward.
There was silence for a long time.
Chen Lun shifted his thoughts again.
He recalled the large, hideous black-red "star" he had seen at the end of the darkness......
'From it...... Or the black substance dripping from her surface gave birth to countless Didak Bugmen, which, according to Philip, are derived from Distrak, the father of darkness of the old gods...... So that black-red star, is it the ancient gods? ’
Chen Lun's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
However, the transcendent knowledge I have acquired through long-distance observation is the path of the Black Sun, and the deity at its end is the Mother of Darkness...... What is the true nature of the black and red stars? ’
In addition, a derived problem also made Chen Lun puzzled.
That is, the path of the black sun and the path of the moon are very similar, and I don't know what kind of relationship exists between the two. According to the current era, there is hardly any description of the "Black Sun Faction" in the records of the Occult Realm, let alone any "Mother".
Chen Lun vaguely remembered that when he received extraordinary knowledge, a desert voice sounded in his mind, and the most impressive thing was the sentence "The sun only needs one".
Could it be that voice is the sun god?!" ’
He was taken aback by his own speculation.
But based on such clues alone, such an inference is reasonable.
After all, the one most likely to say this is the Martyr Father.
'If we consider that black and red star as the Father of Darkness, Distack, then in the land of Matthew under the continent, the Red Mother, which is the only source of light, is most likely the incarnation of the Father of Darkness...... So much so that the insect pollution has not only spread from the dark ends, but has even begun to wreak havoc underground. ’
If the world is compared to a big tree, then at this moment, the inside and the roots of the tree have begun to erode, and perhaps when the pollution reaches a certain level, the big tree will collapse and destroy in an instant.
Chen Lun's mood became heavy.
He lifted his hand and pinched his slightly swollen temple.
Finally, who was the one who helped me when I left the dream world? ’
Chen Lun knew very well that he was intercepted by Lady Sigh at that time, and if someone hadn't helped him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
'Sigh lady, Dominia......'
He remembered the name, and the dark red hem of his dress.
"Lord Roller, we're full."
At this time, the voice of the answer pulled Chen Lun back into his thoughts.
He turned his head to see Nada and the rest of the black cats standing up, grateful.
"Thank you for the food, Lord Roller!"
Chen Lun smiled slightly.
"No need to be polite, you guys should rest first, and when it is dawn, I will take you out of here and go to the 'Gatzt Town' in another dimension."

Early in the morning.
Mrs. Caroline got up early, washed up, cooked breakfast for Chen Lun, and then went upstairs with a plate.
But soon, her voice of surprise resounded through the apartment.
"Oh! Mr. Tauter! You're finally awake?! ”
"Good morning, Miss Caroline."
Taut leaned against the doorframe, slightly nervously arranging his old suit, and smiled in what he thought was charming.
If it weren't for the slippers and the slightly messy and sparse hair, it would have been like a good "encounter".
"Thank you for your care this year, Caroline, I ...... I don't know how to repay you. ”
Tauter's eyes showed uncontrollable affection, and he opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know where to start.
Mrs. Caroline wiped the corners of her eyes lightly and smiled slightly.
"What do you say, if you hadn't stopped me from the attack, I would have died...... The person who said thank you should be me, Mr. Taut. ”
Taut smiled, his eyes fixed on Mrs. Caroline.
A moment later.
In the restaurant on the ground floor.
Mr. Taut gushed to Mrs. Caroline about the wonderful journey in the dream world, who only listened intently, covering his mouth from time to time with a look of surprise and wonder.
Chen Lun silently ate breakfast and shook his head secretly.
Mrs. Caroline, of course, did not take it seriously, but she was very cooperative, acting as a qualified listener, which could not help but make Mr. Taut even more expressive.
The two have been old neighbors for nearly ten years, and after experiencing life and death together, their relationship has become closer. It can be seen that Mrs. Caroline's feelings for Taute seem to have undergone some subtle changes.
Chen Lun just thinks that it is a good thing that Mrs. Caroline can meet someone she loves at such an age.
"Thank you very much, little Jack, although I don't know how you did it, but I believe Pompeii's words and believe in your ......"
Mrs. Caroline turned her head at this time, warmly refilled a cup of flower tea for Chen Lun, and said kindly.
Mr. Taut also looked at him from the sidelines, and there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes. As an eyewitness, of course he knew that everything that happened in the dream world was not false, if it wasn't for Chen Lun's rescue, he might still be trapped inside, and his body in this world would fall into a deep sleep forever.
"You're welcome, Mrs. Caroline."
Chen Lun drank flower tea and responded politely.
He glanced at the two old men and slowly got up.
"Now that Mr. Taut has awakened, it is time for me to leave...... Thank you very much for the morning and flower tea, I loved it. ”
"Is this leaving? Little Jack ......"
Mrs. Caroline and Mr. Taut hurriedly got up and reluctantly held on.
However, Chen Lun politely rejected the other party's proposal on the grounds that Wang Cheng was busy with affairs.
In the end, the two sent Chen Lun to the door of the apartment.
"Little Jack, you must bring little Floyin over when you have time in the future, you are always welcome here."
Mrs. Caroline held Chen Lun's hand tightly.
"Of course."
Chen Lun patted the back of Mrs. Caroline's hand lightly.
Then, with his silver cane in his hand, he took off his black top hat and made a gentlemanly salute, then turned his head and waved his hand away. Without the two of them noticing, more than a dozen small black figures popped out of the window on the second floor one after another.
In Babu's frightened whimper, he followed Chen Lun's back.

Chen Lun used the cloud leap to take Nada and his group of black cat warriors to the royal city.
Return to the central district of the church district of Kang.
He didn't alarm anyone, and directly led the black cats into the conference room.
"Lord Volumer, can we really still see the peaceful hometown in our impression?"
The answer asked, apprehensively.
Chen Lun chuckled and nodded.
"Absolutely."
He immediately sat down in a high-backed chair and raised his hand to the dozen black cats in front of him. Illusory turquoise vines peeked out of his cuffs to form a quaint book, Philip in Wonderland, which then turned over without wind.
Whoop -
White light flashes.
Chen Lun was a little surprised to find that the black cats were different from the others who entered the fairyland, they disappeared into the present world with their bodies.
'Because it's a dream creature?' Or are they the original materials that make up the fairyland, so there is such a special situation......? ’
He then entered Wonderland as well.
The small town of Gatzt.
Nata the Black Cat and the rest of his companions stood at the top of the White Tower's attic, their paws clinging to the transparent crystalline wall, staring blankly at the bustling streets below and the ubiquitous White Cat inhabitants.
High Priest Daya had a lazy demeanor and told the white cats in the square, and the white cats looked longing and joy, and the atmosphere was thriving.
Groups of white cat guards, armed with swords and shields, practiced in the open space below the red city wall, gesturing with the one-eyed captain's orders.
Nada couldn't help but shed tears.
"Gatzt...... Kaztt ...... It's good that my hometown and relatives are still there. ”
"Captain Nada, shall we go down and talk to them?"
An old black cat asked softly, wiping the corners of her eyes.
Nada opened his mouth, then shook his head in relief.
"No need...... It is enough to see that the hometown is still the same. ”
Chen Lun also said out loud at this time:
"Nada, in the dense forest outside the town of Kaztt, there are many members of the Black Cat Clan...... Among them, there is you when you were young, do you want to go and see it? ”
"Another me?!"
Nada was surprised.
"Yes, this space is called 'Wonderland', and it can be regarded as a world created by Maggie, the god of cats...... There are many reproductions of the dreams and creatures here, including you, of course. ”
Chen Lun explained slowly.
Nada and the black cats looked at each other.
Soon, Nada suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed greatly.
"Lord Volume! I remember! Before our Black Cat clan left their homeland, High Priest Daya told us about the oracle sent down by the cat god...... 'The Scroller will one day come with hope to save the Khazt and save the Cat clan.' ’”
Nada waved his paw and said excitedly:
"Maybe this 'fairyland' in your mouth is where hope lies! Those who died in the dream world, as well as the ruined town of Kazt, will take root here and continue in another way! Even, in the near future, to be reborn! ”
Chen Lun listened with a smile until the last sentence of the answer was spoken, and he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
'In the near future, to be born again......'
