Days went on.

These days, the impermanence of waking dreams investigated and found that Zhou Baiyu's former colleague had died.

He met Li Ping's parents, questioned the relevant staff, and finally learned that the body had been bitten by insects.

This makes waking up very uncomfortable.

In the end, this woman wanted to see Zhou Baiyu, it turned out that it was not a conspiracy, but she knew that she was dying and wanted to meet the person she missed in her heart.

In the past few days, waking up and dreaming impermanence and light are waiting for Zhou Baiyu to come back.

Konstantin and Ling Hanshu successfully completed the recruitment and returned to the stronghold.

However, because Zhou Baiyu never appeared, everyone's mood was not very good.

"If you think about it carefully, except for the first attempt, it seems that every time he goes to a place, he completes the task on the same day?"

"Gu Lou is like this, the cruise ship is like this, when I was racking my brains in the madhouse, he had already directly opened the ...... in the second hour"

"The first test may be to stay for seven days, but this time...... Jiang Xianwu said that his task is not to survive. ”

"And now, five days have passed. For five days, there was no news of him. ”

Konstantin and Zhou Baiyu were not familiar with each other, and he said something that made everyone extremely vigilant:

"In our squad, there is also a demon king level. But if Stephen doesn't come back...... It's hard to say whether this Demon King level can be considered our teammate. ”

"These days, that weird ...... Strange good-looking girl, her mood is constantly becoming irritable, if it weren't for a little monster comforting her, it feels like she might go berserk at any time. ”

Zhang Haoyun.

As soon as Konstantin mentioned Zhang Haoyun, he frowned with Guang Tongchen, he thought that he could appease for a while, but only for a while.

Waking up and dreaming impermanence is even more mindful of Zhang Haoyun.

If Zhou Baiyu can't come back......

Can everyone trick her Zhou Baiyu into going on a mission? If so, for how long? If she finally finds out about the scam or learns the truth, will it break out again?

For the first time, the Legendary Forerunner and Light are the same as the dust and the impermanence of awakening dreams, and they feel that their existence is meaningless......

They now find that the reality is so outrageous.

Zhou Baiyu is like a gatekeeper who imprisons Zhang Haoyun's corrupt side.

Now the gatekeeper is gone...... Zhang Haoyun could get out of control at any time.

Ling Hanshu was also very uncomfortable, and kept reassuring himself that Brother Zhou would be fine.

She is a peeper, so she naturally spent advance duty and went to the transit station to peep......

But the news she brought was even more desperate.

"No sound, no picture...... I'm so useless, I can't see anything, peep over to Brother Zhou's side, and find that it's only pitch black. It felt like nothing was there. ”

After Ling Hanshu peeped, he was somewhat self-blaming.

She didn't know that there was only darkness in that place.

The snow demon's peeping, coupled with Zhou Baiyu, did not appear for a long time.

This has led to everyone's expectations for Zhou Baiyu's successful return, which is constantly decreasing.

After all, none of the people who have traveled to the Land of Light so far seem to have returned alive.

……

……

The Land of Lightless.

In the dark dream, Zhou Baiyu blended in for several days, and finally gradually mastered the "vision of the night".

He was surprised to discover...... In fact, everyone has light.

It's just that the light is so dim that it doesn't seem to exist at all.

Zhou Baiyu has had a conversation with Ah Duo in the past few days.

"So everyone still has hope in their hearts, and all expectations for life are light sources, right? I see that everyone still has some light. ”

Here's how the clouds replied:

"It's not that there are no despairers...... Jiang Xianwu, once a person completely loses hope, he will choose to die. But death is not liberation in a dream, and dying here is only a simple experience of pain. ”

"People who are truly desperate live like the walking dead, whether it is pain or nightmares, it is meaningless."

"There are many such people, who have been plunged into absolute darkness and headed for the other side of the Land of Lightless...... God has taken complete control of them. They are called the dark seed. ”

"When you radiate light, people will avoid you because they have no hope, only the last instinct engraved in the genes of the organism, the desire to survive."

"We just want to live, and we can live without light. Rotting in the darkness day after day, that's it, no need to be redeemed, no need to get the light......"

"There will be no moon in the sky. Don't make any worthless promises to us, don't invite us to chase anything illusory. ”

"The endless night is dark and eternal, and it is good to live in the darkness, which is our only hope left. This is the humblest of lights. The darkness will not destroy us, but the light will. ”

"If you want to be friends with us, you have to learn to restrain your light, and you're doing a good job right now. Presumably...... It's painful in the night sea, isn't it? So don't let everyone feel such pain. ”

This large passage of Yun Duo's words made Zhou Baiyu feel greatly shocked.

This is the advance world.

It was the first time he had come into contact with a human race of this scale in the Advance World, and it was only at this moment that he finally understood what kind of human life was like in the post-apocalyptic era.

In the endless darkness, waiting for the decay day after day......

How desperate.

Even so, it seems that there is still life to live, because everyone here knows that the pain never ends.

When you think that this is the most painful life, those nightmares in the night sea will definitely break your cognition.

Many people eventually lost hope completely, became the walking dead, and were arranged by the eternal night to go to the other side.

But more often than not, there are people who survive with humble light.

They looked like they were already in darkness, but if they looked closely, they saw that there was a faint light on them, barely illuminating anything.

This is the will to live that all living beings have.

It is also the bare minimum amount of light allowed by Daredevil Eternal Night. Even a little brighter will be tormented by nightmares.

This conversation made Zhou Baiyu feel depressed in the past few days.

In the past few days, it has not been without good news. In order to leave here, Zhou Baiyu has also been trying to find a way to get acquainted with the people around him and understand the pioneers at the beginning.

Fortunately, Zhou Baiyu really found one.

This man's name is Xinkui, and he is an alienated person, and he is also an extremely hot-blooded young man, at least once was.

His real age is only four months younger than Zhou Baiyu. When Zhou Baiyu found Xinkui, Xinkui was spread out on the bed, expressionless.

He has been in such a place for several years. And there is no concept of time, only in a world of absolute darkness, and staying for a few years is probably as long as centuries have passed.

There used to be a multiple-choice question – if you were given a trillion and you were asked to stay in a barren place for 10 million years, would you be willing?

Probably Xinkui's feeling is like staying in one place for ten million years, no, it is endless, there is no end, no matter how long he stays, there is still longer time waiting for him in the future.

When Zhou Baiyu found Xinkui, Xinkui didn't pay attention to Zhou Baiyu.

Zhou Baiyu told a lot of things. Forerunners, save the world, regain the faith to live – but none of them make sense.

Even if his mouth is as strong as Zhou Baiyu's, and he still has the characteristics of an orator, he still didn't make Xinkui react.

However, after Zhou Baiyu left, Xinkui would be very afraid. He's going to slap himself like crazy.

Let the pain keep you awake.

"I'm not a forerunner anymore! I won't be able to go back to Songjiang either! I'm just a piece of garbage, a garbage waiting to rot and become a dark seed! ”

"Don't be fooled by the newcomer! I don't want to see nightmares above the night sea! ”

Zhou Baiyu's words actually had a great impact on Xinkui.

But Xinkui is afraid.

In his memory, there are still many people he wants to protect, but he forcibly suppresses them and doesn't let himself miss these people. Let yourself be as numb to everything as possible.

Because only in this way can we not shine.

Only in this way can you not be ravaged by the nightmare in the night sea.

He never wanted to live that dream of everything being destroyed again.

However, Zhou Baiyu did not intend to give up on this alien just like that.

Day 1.

Zhou Baiyu failed to visit Xinkui and didn't ask anything from Xinkui.

The next day.

Xinkui glared at Zhou Baiyu angrily, and after Zhou Baiyu left, Xinkui began to cry.

Day 3.

Zhou Baiyu still kept lobbying Xinkui, saying that he didn't need Xinkui to help him, he just needed to know the information.

But Xinkui went crazy and let Zhou Baiyu roll. But deep down, Xinkui is very puzzled-

How ambitious is this guy who calls himself Jiang Xianwu constantly lobbying himself?

In such a dream, why does he dare to look forward to the future?

What about the light in him?

Won't he be ravaged by the monsters of the sea in the night sea?

Xinkui gradually became curious.

But on the fifth day, Zhou Baiyu didn't see Xinkui, and on this day Zhou Baiyu did something that was more physically demanding.

The sixth day was the same, because on the fifth day, Zhou Baiyu was not satisfied with things, so he continued to transform.

On the seventh day, Xinkui thought that Jiang Xianwu had given up. But on this day, he was moved by Jiang Xianwu's words.

Zhou Baiyu directly prepared a killer plan. On this day, Zhou Baiyu came to Xinkui's door, and he was closed by Xinkui.

Zhou Baiyu was not in a hurry, and said slowly through the door:

"I'm not going to lobby you anymore. I also promise you that I will never harass you from now on, and I will not ask for any information from you. ”

"I just need you to do one thing, go and sit in my room. Believe me, you will definitely be very happy after you go, and you will definitely believe that you are starting to encounter good things. ”

"If I don't go, I might consider saying your name all the time I face nightmares in the Night Sea......

Inducements are pointless. No one believes that good things will happen in this place.

But coercion is really useful, Zhou Baiyu's practice of not talking about martial arts finally made Xinkui waver.

There's absolutely no way I'm going to think about leaving here anyway, and I definitely don't believe anyone can redeem me......

He was so self-suggesting, for fear that he would have a little extra light on his body.

Zhou Baiyu finally pulled the alienant Xinkui and went to his house.

Since it is the eternal dream of the Night Demon, in fact, everyone is the same in the eyes of the Eternal Night.

Naturally, everyone's dwelling place is just as simple.

Speaking of Zhou Baiyu's house, it is a little more dilapidated than Xinkui's. The previous owner of this room had been reduced to a dark seed.

Xinkui didn't understand Zhou Baiyu's intentions until ...... He activated the talent of the alien and saw Zhou Baiyu's bed.

"It doesn't seem to make sense for the Alien, so you have to see something real." Zhou Baiyu pointed to his bed. The durability is 11/11.

Xinkui didn't expect that what Jiang Xianwu said was true, as long as he came to this room, he would understand what the situation was at a glance.

"This ...... How the hell is this done? It's a work of art! ”

In Zhou Baiyu's eyes, the name of the item is called [The forerunner who will not dream of shining in the eternal night of youth. 】

In Xinkui's eyes, the name of the item is much more serious - [Good Dream Bed.] 】

A sentence in the item's introduction made Kokoro realize the value of this thing here - dreaming wantonly, and not entering the Night Sea until the durability is exhausted.

"Art...... That's art! Why can you do it? ”

Zhou Baiyu spread his hands:

"I thought this should be the standard for us aliens? Reacquaint yourself with me, I'm a second-order alien, Jiang Xianwu. Baichuan Sanctuary Guild. ”

The guild was specially emphasized because Zhou Baiyu remembered that He Guang Tongchen had said that there were also Baichuan guilds and people who had entered the recruitment of the Endless Night, and they were aliens.

And the reason why Zhou Baiyu judged that Xinkui was an alienator was because when he looked at Xinkui's house, he found that the house had durability.

In other words, Xinkui has actually been alienating items.

Zhou Baiyu felt very strange, although he thought that this bed would make Xinkui like it, which could be regarded as analyzing the needs according to the environment, and then creating the needs to do what he liked.

The mouth is only the surface, and every time Zhou Baiyu convinces the other party, he actually shows his actual value.

However, Xinkui's reaction was still too big.

"Standard? I'm not like that, I just want to say that the god of bullshit difference and chaos, he must be the most rubbish of the nine old gods, right? ”

This kind of mental activity has also been experienced by Zhou Baiyu. But later, Zhou Baiyu has slowly changed his opinion of this god.

But he doesn't deny it—

This profession is really cheating, and I can say that I am full of European spirit all the way, and I am constantly hanging up.

But what about the other aliens?

The conscription of other aliens is probably a different story.

"When I first entered here, I wanted to leave here because I thought I could be alienated......"

"It was the first day, and the light I gave off that day could probably illuminate a large area of the neighborhood...... But the next day I didn't dare to shine. ”

"Later, I keep entering the night sea, you know, whether you have light or not, for a long time after you come here, you will continue to enter the night sea to look at those monsters......"

"I've ...... I can't remember what it's like to really sleep comfortably. ”

"We are not real, here, the more desperate people are, the thinner they are, I told you that I used to be one hundred and sixty pounds, do you believe it?"

Xinkui's words gradually increased.

This is a good thing, indicating that he is gradually unloading his defenses.

As an alienated person, although he knows that this profession is a cheat, he can survive a few conscriptions, and more or less, Xinkui has still alienated a few positive items.

So he knew very well that the only reliable thing about this unreliable god was that the description was at least accurate.

The description says that this item can have a good dream, so it must be a good dream.

On this day, Zhou Baiyu exchanged rooms with Xinkui.

He wondered, hadn't Xinkui ever alienated enough to get him out of his nightmare?

But later Zhou Baiyu discovered that this is survivor cognitive bias.

Not to mention the items alienated by Xinkui, the initial deviation rate is 99%, and there are only five times a day...... And in this case, it may not be possible to have five times.

Even if the alienation comes out of the positive alienation item, it may be more comfortable to sleep or the toughness of the bed is improved...... It seems to be a positive alienation, but in fact it is of little use.

And the most terrifying thing is that the essence of alienation is the same as the gacha, with hope and expectation.

These hopes and expectations are fatal in dreams.

Again and again, he was full of hope to alienate, but the result was that he was ravaged by the deep-sea beasts in the night sea......

Who can withstand this? Over time, when Xinkui thinks of alienation, she instinctively rejects it.

Therefore, after Zhou Baiyu made the finished product, Xinkui reacted so strongly and bluntly said that this is a work of art.

……

……

Next.

When Zhou Baiyu talked to Xinkui face-to-face again, Xinkui's attitude towards Zhou Baiyu changed even more-

"Brother Jiang, Dad! Daddy Jiang! Let me stay with you! Let's swap houses! Please! Please! ”

"I ...... yesterday Woowoo...... I dreamed of my mom and dad and they gave me a lot of delicious food...... Do you have a wife? Do you have children? In my dream, I have a wife with a fleshy face, she is really cute! ”

"I can't live without this bed! I can't live without it! Do you know how I've spent all these years? ”

Zhou Baiyu felt funny again, and felt that the people here were very pitiful.

These days, he also keeps entering the night sea to be destroyed.

But in the end, when the light completely dissipates, it is always protected by a necklace that wakes up from impermanence.

Although in the dream, the props are gone, but the necklace of waking up impermanence is worn on the body, and entering the dream, even if it is a dream within a dream, it also protects itself.

So although every night is tortured, there is always a fire that is kept before complete despair.

Then when he woke up the next day, Zhou Baiyu was full of fighting spirit again.

But others weren't so lucky.

Even the alienated Xinkui can't bear such torture.

So after experiencing a "sweet dream", Xinkui completely broke the defense.

The desperate dreams again and again just let him know that he was miserable now.

He also wept secretly.

But despair and pain only made him grit his teeth and bear it, and beauty and light really broke his defenses completely.

Xinkui almost knelt and begged Zhou Baiyu.

After a long time, Zhou Baiyu calmed the emotions of the good heart, after all, he had done the work of the big sister many times.

When Xinkui completely returned to normal, he no longer hid it, and he knew almost everything about Zhou Baiyu.

At the same time, he asked a lot of questions and showed a desire for the outside world.

When emotions rise and fall, people will have the desire to talk, and what they are most afraid of is to be tense all the time.

Zhou Baiyu knew that he had been here for a long time, but he was afraid that he would not be able to leave it for a while, so he was also very patient.

Basically, what Xinkui wants to know, he will also be satisfied.

"How is our president now? Let me tell you, Brother Jiang, I always worship that we will grow...... His knife is the envy of even the best in the world. ”

Zhou Baiyu couldn't help but laugh, the knife was in his hand, if this kid woke up, he would probably be very envious?

But he didn't know if he would wake up, so he didn't dare to give people false hope.

He just said:

"I've seen it, the guild is all right, not long ago the guild leader cleared a version 2.30 insane asylum, and became friends with an outlander in the guild."

"The two of them teamed up to clear the special mode twice, once in endless mode and once in friendship mode. It's legendary. ”

Xinkui came to be interested:

"There are still such masters in our union? Alienators? ”

"Yes, a character who appeared recently was discovered by the president's discernment, and the world's best was also rushing to ask for it at that time. When you get out, I'll introduce you......"

After the last sentence, Zhou Baiyu suddenly regretted a little, it is difficult to say whether he can go out.

Fortunately, at this moment, Xinkui's interest is elsewhere:

"An alien who can help each other with the president...... It doesn't seem that my profession is weak, but that I am weak......"

No, believe me, you were able to persist in such a hellish place without becoming a dark seed, you are already strong.

This pit is very weak.

Zhou Baiyu complained in his heart.

Xinkui pulled Zhou Baiyu to keep telling about the legendary alien who was like the president.

"What the hell is a succubus like...... I'm so envious. ”

"Gu Lou? That Gu Lou where no newcomer can come back alive? Awesome! ”

"It's a pity I can't get out...... I'd love to meet this big guy. ”

"Demon Extravaganza? He killed so many demon kings by himself? ”

"Absolute moments? Sister Lin said! This is one of the Aliens' strongest abilities! Great! ”

"The real world is also distorted? Yes...... can solve the demon king level faster than the world's peers, he is really too strong, and there are such powerful people among our aliens! ”

"Sister Lin will probably be very active and enthusiastic when she sees her, right? I don't think I've ever seen Sister Lin smile at me......"

The last sentence made Zhou Baiyu inexplicably a little uncomfortable.

However, I have to say that Zhou Baiyu still feels that Xinkui is very kind, and this is the first alienated person he knows.

When I take you out, I'll tell you who that alien really is.

Zhou Baiyu silently promised in his heart.

In this place, all promises, probably only at the moment when they are done, dare to say it.

Bringing anticipation and hope to others is tantamount to hurting others.

The Night Demon Eternal Night has equated hope with pain, making the people here gradually become deformed and distorted.

Zhou Baiyu took a deep breath:

"If you still want to know what's going on outside, just ask me, I know the impermanence of waking dreams, and I know a lot of people......"

"By the way, there are a lot of interesting things in the real world, too."

"You can ask me anyway, but Xinkui, I also have questions for you, don't worry, I won't pull you to do anything crazy, but I need to know, you have been here for so long, has anything happened?"

"Do you know some information...... Like how to get out of here? ”

Zhou Baiyu began to talk about the topic.

Xinkui no longer has anything to hide this time:

"A few years ago, there used to be a man here...... He brought hope to everyone, he got out of a dream and woke up once......"

Xinkui threw a bombshell directly with a word.

Zhou Baiyu asked:

"How did he get out of his dreams?"

Xinkui's tone was sad:

"His name is Jin Yi, and he tells everyone that there must be a moon in this world, and he will take everyone to see the moon...... He was really a very passionate person, and at that time, together with the clouds, he convinced everyone here. ”

He said that God is afraid of the light, so he wants to take the light from everyone. God is also afraid that everyone will wake up, just wake up and let the light shine...... God will become weak. ”

"His rhetoric is crazy, but he really has that kind of contagion, as if he can convince everyone."

"Everyone absolutely trusted him, they all believed that what he said was true, and everyone began to remember the good things in life......"

"Little by little, everybody is stirring up hope, regaining hope, and finally mustering up courage...... Entrusting everything to Kim E-ul. ”

"The country without light at that moment is almost like the country of light...... The huge light converged on Jin Yi's body, causing Jin Yi to wake up. ”

"I happened to see it at that time, and I was thinking...... It may take the light of many people, to gather in one person, to wake that person up. ”

"The Night Demon is just to prevent someone from waking up, so he will keep taking everyone's light."

"Jin Yi did it...... Unfortunately, he was limited to waking up. ”

"Everyone watched Jin Yi's figure disappear under the light little by little, and they were all excited, thinking that Jin Yi had really left the country of no light."

"But then...... Jin Yi soon returned. ”

Zhou Baiyu was stunned.

Xinkui sighed:

"He woke up, but when he woke up, he was still faced with a dark night, and under the darkness, he was quickly hypnotized......

So he fell into a dream again, and once again returned to the land of no light. All his efforts were reduced to ashes......"

"The nightmares of the Land of Lightless finally know that there is still so much light hidden in the bodies of this group of people, and the nightmares are both scared and excited."

Zhou Baiyu noticed the key point - he was afraid that he could understand, why was he still excited?

"Nightmares need light?"

"Yes...... It is said that it is necessary to constantly absorb the light of people to activate a treasure for the owners of nightmares, that is, gods, which can turn reality into illusion and reality into dreams......"

"These are all things that I gathered when I was still hopeful...... But it didn't really work, and I knew it wouldn't change anything. ”

Nightmares and the god of nothingness!

Zhou Baiyu's eyes widened and he looked at Xinkui in surprise......

Amazing Aliens! I can get such information!

At this moment, Zhou Baiyu finally knew why Yongye wanted to imprison these people.

It's activating the Treasure of the Gods! Complete the divine bestow through the Treasures of the Gods!

Create a world where there is nothing but nothingness.

Jin Yi returned to the dream realm, and then was tortured alive into a night seed...... In the end, Jin Yi became a part of the night, which was the night demon's punishment for him, and he became a part of the night, staring at these people who could not escape forever. ”

"And all the people who trust Jin Yi and have the courage to burst out for Jin Yi...... All of them were squeezed hard. ”

"Some people have become dark seeds, and some people are still alive, but the body in the dream is as thin as a ghost......"

"Everybody's broken...... Completely devastated......"

"Brother Jiang, there will never be such an opportunity again, and there will never be one person who can convince everyone like Jin Yi......"

"No one can wake up again, and when they wake up, they will fall asleep again because they are facing the night!"

"Don't try to escape from here, keep your memories, what you can recall will be your only treasure here!"

Zhou Baiyu was silent for a long time.

He can imagine how dazzling the boy who firmly believes that there is a moon in the world is at the moment of arousing everyone's hope......

He could imagine how much everyone expected of him when that young man shone brightly.

Oh, yes...... There will never be anything like this again.

There will be no one like Jin Yi who can be trusted by everyone.

And these people ...... Can it really still emit light?

After the brutal suppression of the Night Demons, do they dare to shine?

"Don't get your hopes up in vain...... The current situation is an iron house that has no windows and is impossible to destroy. We are all sleeping people, we do not feel the sorrow of death, death may be relief for us. But we ...... I'm afraid of being woken up! ”

What a dark world.

In a country without light, tens of thousands of people have lost the light of life forever, just to create a god in the dark night?

Zhou Baiyu's heart was surging.

It takes enough light to gather in one place to wake up a person.

And when you wake up, you are likely to fall asleep again......

Because when I woke up, I was still facing the night.

He remembered that he had been teleported into the night, and then he had fallen asleep by the rules of the night......

That's why I appeared here.

It was, indeed, an iron house with no windows, and it was almost impossible to destroy.

But is it really impossible to destroy?

"If I wake up...... How about turning your watch and dispelling the night? ”

Zhou Baiyu walked out of the room, he raised his head and stared at the thick night.

It's as if I'm looking at Jin Yi, who has been reduced to a part of the night.

The loser who rebelled against the Daredevil a few years ago and the one who challenged the Daredevil again a few years later seemed to have a heart-to-heart connection at this moment.

In the vision of the night, Xinkui saw Zhou Baiyu's back......

After hearing such a desperate history, this Jiang Xianwu ...... It's faintly glowing.

Yes, the scorching light barely covered the necklace's smoke.

At this moment, Zhou Baiyu looked at the night sky and made the same sound as Jin Yi back then:

"I'll definitely show you the moon!"
