Vision is born from orange.

Entering the Source Realm again—I usually call the Dream World the Source Realm now, because I thought it would be more appropriate to call it that way after learning the reason for the name—this time I was different from the previous two times, and this time I was very sure that the reason for my entry into the Source Realm after falling asleep this time was due to the oranges.

Not only because of the golden glow I felt in my hazy sleep before going to bed, but also because now I have the orange in my hand. Obviously, it was outside the hut that was placed in the wasteland world before.

In addition, there is another strange thing, the source realm entered this time seems to have changed a lot. First of all, I returned to the place where I first entered, that is, in the ruined city that had been crying all along, surrounded by ruined walls - but it seemed to be more broken, and it seemed to glow with a faint yellow light. By this time, the whole city had stopped crying and mourning, and had become somewhat quiet. Quiet and scary.

And then the most impossible thing to ignore is the sky of the Source Realm...... The color of the sky in the Source Realm is generally a strange gray, with occasional reddish or purple parts, but most of them are obscured by clouds. But now, when I looked up at the sky, I could not find the slightest trace of clouds, and the whole sky was emitting a golden halo, cascading like a wave.

It's spectacular.

The whole world used to be gray, but now it looks like a warm yellow color.

If I had to say that this change was the yellow filter that Tangerine put on me...... I don't believe it.

But I think this change should have something to do with oranges...... Something to do with the mysterious fortune teller, for example?

I remember that his fortune-telling booth also seemed to be orange.

It is estimated that yellow is probably the personal characteristic color of the fortune teller?

I pondered for a while, and subconsciously pulled into my pocket. The pollen is still there, that's good.

"Nourish...... Snort-" The orange in his hand suddenly made a sound that belonged to the radio - "Hey, hey, can you hear me?" ”

Although the voice was a little distorted, I could tell that the voice coming from the orange was that of the fortune teller.

"Ah, I can hear you." I hold up the orange so that it is at eye level.

"You should remember me. I told you a fortune in the holy city that day. He seemed to be talking to me through Tangerine: "I'm sorry Tangerine sucked up your radio. But now the orange also functions as a radio, and you can control the orange through consciousness communication when you return to the inner world. ”

Belch...... Is my radio so missing?

Receiver - sound - machine -

"What happened that day in the Holy City?" I asked.

I have to make sure that the disaster in the Holy City that day has something to do with me.

"Oh, there's an unfortunate thing that pops up in the Holy City, and then ...... Put a new ...... Spur spur - the summoning is coming...... And then nourish ...... He broke through the ground of the holy city, and the holy city was gone. I'm fighting this guy right now. ”

“？”

“？？”

“？？？”

I was straight up puzzled. "Dry rack?"

And evil gods? Fortune teller...... Is it so powerful?

"yes, it's about a dozen light minutes above your head." Tangerine calmly conveyed a very strange message: "The old one is very stable, and the new one is very irritable, if I don't drag him, the inner and outer worlds will have been hammered by him a long time ago." ”

I looked up at the sky. A golden halo of light filled the entire canopy, and the universe was surging with golden waves. Other than that, nothing can be seen.

Is this a fairy fight?

"I didn't want to get involved in these things." In the orange, the fortune teller's voice continued: "I originally wanted to see the scenery, and then go to other worlds to see more and have more fun." I've seen a lot more beautiful scenery now than those guys. As a result, the scenery is now destroyed by such a purely accidental event, which I can't bear. Hey, I'm so tired. ”

I don't quite understand what he said. But I can probably understand what he meant...... Presumably, he didn't want to fight the evil god, but if he didn't fight him, the world would be destroyed, so he had to fight.

However, seeing that he can still fight the evil god who destroyed the Holy City in an instant, and can also chat with me leisurely with oranges through means, I feel that the fortune teller may be much stronger than I thought.

Well, even so, I don't know how strong the evil god is. But in short, it's definitely much better than me, that's for sure.

"I know what you want to do." On the other side of the orange, the fortune teller spoke again. "If you want to find the truth, this outer world is undoubtedly the best repository. Oh yes, you call it the Source Realm, or the Source Hell. Of course, maybe you can also go to the Rift Valley, which I haven't been there yet, and maybe there will be some special clues. ”

I see, the fortune teller called the source world the outer world and the wasteland world the inner world...... The fortune teller should have a higher vision than everyone else, and there should be some special reason why he is called so.

He said to me before, "If you want to know the truth, you can't just look for it in the wasteland. "Is it true that I am looking in the Source Realm?

Well, but the fortune teller is so powerful, why...... Why don't you just tell me?

In my opinion, as a transcendent powerhouse, since he is "willing to tell me where to find the truth", it should be easy to "tell me what the truth is".

I did want to ask—but I held back. I always feel that asking this sentence at this time will seem that the fortune teller's superior demeanor is a little untenable. I can probably guess why. I found that "some of the people I feel close to" always have some "obsessions", such as the doctor is obsessed with what plague, what P03 is obsessed with the ultimate immortal, the Ranger Knight is obsessed with knightly behavior, and the lighthouse boy seems to be obsessed with what lighthouse to pursue.

And this fortune teller, presumably, is obsessed with "scenery". The purpose of all his actions is for the sake of "scenery".

Perhaps, in his opinion, if he told me the final result I wanted directly, it would be uninteresting, without any "scenery", and if he told me a general direction, and then let me find it myself, then he helped me (though I don't know why) and obtained a kind of "scenery" in the sense he wanted to see......

Hmm, that's reasonable.

Later, the fortune teller didn't seem to talk much, and the frequency of the halo formation in the sky was getting faster and faster. I guess the dry frame has entered the white-hot stage, and he can't talk to me anymore.

In the end, he just said that this orange can interfere with "dreams" to a certain extent, for example, when I enter a special environment, it can help me see some special scenes in this environment.

I didn't quite understand it, but I remembered the hallucinations I had seen when I went down to the basement with the doctor, and I seemed to understand the purpose of oranges......

Oh, puzzle props.

That's fine.
