Chapter 135: The End of the Dream
The spirit fire gathered up and submerged into the flesh fragments.
The fire-contaminated wreckage staggered to its feet, then crawled faster and faster, disappearing into the end of the street.
The mass, no longer thinking about it, set out on its way home—whether it would actually return to a certain "body", or whether it would run out of vitality and dissipate on its own halfway, or if it would be intercepted and purified by something, even Duncan was unsure.
He just tried his best to avoid all hidden dangers within the scope of his ability.
After Shirley fought the strange black shadow, he was quickly analyzing the origin of the "attacker" who appeared in the nightmare, and guessing the other party's ability, and after seeing the reaction of the thing to the spirit fire, he further determined that the attacker who appeared out of nowhere was probably just a split "pathfinder".
The attacker's first reaction was to break apart and break through in all directions, which may be explained as a hasty escape, but it can also be explained as a "pathfinder" trying to send the information away - if this huge dream was really woven by someone behind the scenes, then the appearance of his own "intruder" is undoubtedly a major piece of information.
Duncan watched thoughtfully in the direction in which the debris had disappeared, and after crawling a certain distance, the other party disappeared into a cloud of rising smoke and dust, which further confirmed his suspicions:
The attacker who suddenly appeared was more familiar with the dream than himself and Shirley, and the other party had a more convenient way to move here, and also knew some invisible "passages", so the figure with the umbrella just now could suddenly appear nearby without him noticing.
In contrast, he, Shirley, and Gou, the first-time "explorers", are like headless flies in the dream world, and it is not easy to find those hidden guys.
But it doesn't matter, the fire has been spread, and a faint connection is still looming in his perception, Duncan believes that the fire he has spread out will have some gains, as long as that little bit of spirit fire begins to spread, there will be a clearer perception established, and sooner or later he will find some hidden ones in the spreading fire - and then Nina and Shirley will not have nightmares.
"Mr. Duncan??" Shirley looked at Duncan, who was suddenly silent, a little frightened, and hesitated for a long time before she dared to say, "Do you know that just now??" What is it? ”
She was referring to the assailant with a black umbrella.
“?? "I can't say," Duncan shook his head after a moment's thought, but then he looked at the burned streets around him, and said thoughtfully, "but do you remember the figure I mentioned standing at the edge of the plaza on the way back from the museum?" ”
"The one that only you can see?" Shirley immediately recalled, "Ah, the one you saw that attacked us just now??"
"Not sure it's the same," Duncan shook his head, "but it's definitely the same species, and I suspect it has something to do with the cultists who believe in the sun god - it's suspicious that both times they appear in a fire-related scene." ”
"Something to do with those cultists??" Shirley blinked, and quickly reacted, "Could it be the 'Sun Heir's Child' in the mouth of those cultists,?! ”
"Let's be suspicious of it first, although there is no evidence," Duncan exhaled softly, "but I care more about why this thing is in your and Nina's dreams than the identity of the attacker??" What is the connection between the museum scene and your dreams? ”
As he spoke, he raised his head and swept his gaze over the tall tower.
At the top of the tower, Nina was still nowhere to be seen—but Duncan was almost certain that this was the place Nina had seen in her dreams.
"Is this really Nina's dream?" Shirley was also looking around curiously, her face full of incredulity, "How do you know?" ”
"She told me about this dream, and in the dream, she was standing on the tallest distillation tower, overlooking the burning city-state," Duncan said, gesturing to the nearby tower, "It's about two blocks away from your nightmare hut, and while I don't know why, your dreams are clearly connected to each other on a deeper level. ”

Shirley was surprised, she seemed to want to ask something, but suddenly, the dog next to her seemed to have found something: "Hey Shirley, look, the umbrella that guy was holding just now seems to be still there!" ”
Shirley and Duncan looked in the same direction as the dog pointed, and sure enough, they saw a big black umbrella lying quietly on the side of the street!
Just now, their attention was focused on the attacker, and after the latter's body split, the umbrella was left on the side of the road, and no one paid attention to its existence for a while.
Duncan stepped over, and he finally had a chance to take a closer look at the big black umbrella, but after seeing the appearance of the inner layer of the umbrella, he couldn't help but let out a "huh".
He imagined what this umbrella would look like when it was always held in the hands of the attacker - it could be an extraordinary item engraved with runes, or it could be an anomaly that looked ordinary on the outside but actually had many characteristics, but in any case, considering the attacker's own weird and terrifying abilities and form, the style of this umbrella should definitely develop in the direction of the evil sect.
However, the bottom of the umbrella was completely different from what he imagined-
He saw extremely complex man-made structures, with hexagonal delicate lattices densely arranged on the skeleton, forming a form that seemed to be some kind of ?? Solar panel-like form, and between the deep purple lattice gaps, he saw tiny pipes and wire bundles, and in the center of the umbrella, an elaborate device like some kind of control center connected the umbrella handle to the surrounding lattice array, far more sophisticated and complex than any steam mechanism in the city-state of Purland.
Duncan stared at the thing dumbfounded.
The sense of science and technology, his first reaction is the sense of science and technology!
This thing is by no means an extraordinary item, and the style of painting is completely different from some "anomalies", let alone a device made by the current city-state civilization, this umbrella is an extremely delicate and complex technological creation.
It?? From a civilization that is incomprehensible to some modern city-state!
"What is this?" Shirley looked at the internal structure of the umbrella in shock and confusion, she couldn't understand what it was at all, and she lacked Duncan's knowledge of coming from another world, she only felt that this thing was a hundred times more complicated than she imagined, and even looked a little dazzled, she subconsciously stretched out her hand, "It looks like??"
"Don't touch it!" Dog interrupted Shirley with a sudden voice, "This looks like some kind of blasphemous prototype." ”
Shirley was stunned: "Blasphemy archetype? What's that? ”
"Creatures from some forbidden history, things that should not appear in the real world, but are forcibly stuck in the real world," Ah Dog said in a serious whisper, "I don't know how to explain it to you??" Because I don't know what the principle behind this is, anyway, you just remember that there are some histories in this world that have been 'locked up,', and the things that have been born in these forbidden histories are blasphemous archetypes, and usually, their very existence is harmful to real-world creatures?? Don't touch it when you see it! ”
Shirley suddenly nervously withdrew her hand, and Duncan glanced at Ah Dog thoughtfully: "This is also the 'knowledge' that the dark demon is born with,?" ”
"Sort of," Dog shook his head, "Not all Shadow Demons know this, it's just that I was born closer to the Head of the Shadow Lord, so I have more knowledge in my head. ”
Duncan hummed noncommittally, his gaze resting on the strange black umbrella, and at that moment, as if it had lost some kind of "support", the umbrella suddenly began to disintegrate and collapse rapidly before his eyes.
The delicate lattice structure gradually became transparent, the skeleton and wire bundles faded and turned into gray debris floating in the wind, and the complex device that was the core melted down like heated wax, and before the thing completely melted away, Duncan's corner of his eye suddenly noticed a small text printed on one of the parts of the device.
It wasn't the lingua franca of the city-state today, nor was it any other language he was familiar with—but the meaning of the words still came to mind:
"K-22 spectral filtered crystal nucleus."
In the next second, the entire umbrella, including the last part, was scattered in the wind.
Duncan slowly stood up, and at this moment, Shirley, who was standing beside him, suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! What about my hands??"

Duncan looked at Shirley's arm and found that not only his arm, but also his entire body was gradually becoming transparent and blurred.
Shirley was suddenly shocked: "Help, help, help??"
"Save the fart!" Ah Gou directly interrupted Shirley, "You're about to wake up!" You've woken up from this dream for the first time normally—thank you, Mr. Duncan? ”
Shirley reacted at this time, and quickly looked at Duncan, only to see that the other party's figure was also gradually dissipating in the dream.
Duncan smiled and waved his hand to the girl in front of him, "Good night, and good morning - don't forget to wake up Nina for breakfast later." ”
