37 The Siren's Dream
Alternate space.
Somewhere in what looks like an abandoned aquarium, Joe Licorice finds a seemingly unremarkable mirror fragment.
"Probably that's it...... "the key to leaving this alien space." ”
This is not a surprising answer. On the way, I also had a discussion with the blue bird, the middleman is through the mirror when he leaves the different space, and Qiao Licorice also enters in the form of smashing a mirror when he enters the different space, so will the exit of the different space be related to the mirror?
On the contrary, Qiao Licorice didn't keep up with the topic, because from her point of view, she didn't enter the alien space in the form of smashing a mirror, but first arranged the ritual of entering the alien space in the real world, and when she came to her senses, she had already fallen on the floor of the alien dimension.
In this way, the blue bird and I also came back to our senses and were in a different dimension. But if there were other people watching from the other dimension at the time, they might have witnessed us smashing a mirror into another dimension.
"But it seems like it's just a fragment, judging by the shape...... I think there's another half. The bluebird observed the fragment.
Joe Licorice agreed, "I have to make up the other half." ”
But now that we've found half of them, it's only a matter of time before we find the other half.
We continue to set out to navigate the unpredictable dimensions of the Otherworld, while confronting the demons that are attacking from the shadows.
Those demons do have a variety of appearances, some like ghosts, some like beasts, some like inorganic things, but in the end they are all spirits, so it is always wrong to attack them with spiritual spells.
There are also individuals who look like people, or even women who look like women.
When I used to play horror games, I occasionally saw some designs for monsters with beautiful female shapes, and one of the more famous games had a monster that looked like a nurse. Although it is a monster with a twisted face, it has a slender and plump body, and it moves slowly towards the character controlled by the player with a nervous twitch in a marionette-like movement.
It's undoubtedly a monster without a mind.,If you encounter it in reality.,I'm sure anyone will make people hairy.,Can't give birth to the slightest lust.。 But when I saw that image through the screen, I had a twisted desire deep in my heart. It's like when I sit in a classroom and fantasize about a zombie crisis at school, I think about how to bind and imprison a beautiful girl on the way to escape and use it as a tool to vent my desires.
I don't know how many people have done this horrible and despicable fantasy? I sometimes have a hard time understanding why I have such fantasies. A terrifying monster without a mind appears in front of him in the form of a young and beautiful opposite sex, and he should feel disgusted and frightened, but for some reason he has a twisted desire. Today I have no impulse to the normal opposite sex, even if I admit that I like the blue bird very much, I have never been able to have that kind of desire for her body, but I am eager for the opposite sex of monsters in my heart.
Unknown, terrifying, dark, death, beauty, pleasure...... In my mind, I gradually sketched the posture of "it".
The demon that was approaching in the distance, mimicking a woman, was destroyed in an instant by a powerful thunderbolt.
"There's still that kind of demon in human form...... It scared me to death, and I saw that the uncanny valley effect was about to kick in. Bluebird breathed a sigh of relief.
I still haven't reacted a little, "Ahhh......h
"Huh?" She looked at me suspiciously, "Are you...... Interested in that? ”
"No ......"
"Really?" she asked. ”
I reflexively said, "Really." ”
She asked, "Really, really?" ”
"Really...... No, fake, I'm interested. "I'm still telling the truth to the bluebird.
"Yes......" she turned her head, as if muttering, "should I catch one for him to play with......
"What did you say?" I almost doubted my ears.
"Nothing!" She said without looking back.
Qiao Licorice, who was buried in the metal compass, suddenly raised his head, "Could it be that Blue Bird, you are vomiting because your body can't satisfy Li Duo!" ”
Before she could finish speaking, she was elbowed to the stomach by the blue bird in annoyance.
I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, I used to see some unladylike and stupid women who bubbled up in the little news on the Internet to help the man they like find other women...... It's not good for me to say that, but is she really okay with the blue bird?
"What are you doing, I'm just thinking about it, how can I really let you and monsters do that kind of thing!" Bluebird said loudly, "All right! Stop thinking about all that mess and keep going! ”
Qiao Licorice whispered, "Obviously, the most messy head here is you......"
"Did you say anything?"
"Nothing!"
After a few moments, we finally found the other half of the mirror fragments.
Joe Licorice splices the two pieces together to form a complete palm-sized mirror.
"Alright...... This way you can get out. She finally let out a sigh of relief, "If I'm not mistaken, in this alien dimension, this mirror only exists at one time. If you want to find a second one, you have to wait until the first one is used. ”
Bluebird asked curiously, "How do I use this?" ”
"I think I should inject spirituality into it first......" Qiao Licorice pointed to the mirror with his finger.
Suddenly, the mirror became gigantic, life-size and suspended in front of us.
She continued, "Then you can smash it." ”
"Smashed?" I asked, "Is there anything specific about it?" ”
She thought for a moment and organized the language, "What must be said...... It is to let your whole body be reflected in the mirror, and your eyes should also look in the mirror well, and then break it. ”
"Okay......" I walked over to the mirror and looked at myself in the mirror.
When Bluebird and Joe Licorice were ready, I swung my siren blade and slashed down at the mirror.
In an instant, the mirror was torn apart, turning into pieces one after another, and even the entire scenery in my eyes was also reduced to pieces, revealing the darkness that I could not reach. And when all the colorful pieces melt away like snowflakes, there is only darkness in sight.
I felt nervous for a moment, staring at the darkness that I didn't know how far it went.
But it didn't take long for me to realize that the reason why my vision was dark was because I had my eyes closed.
So I opened my eyes.
In front of me is a street of people coming and going, the sky is already dark, but the streets are full of colorful lights, and my ears are full of the noise of fireworks in the world from time to time.
"We're back......," Bluebird's voice sounded from the side, "This seems to be a pedestrian street in the North District?" ”
When I turned my head, the bluebird was standing beside me, and Qiao Licorice was also together. No passers-by cast their eyes at us, as if we were standing here. And when I heard the words of the blue bird, I also noticed that the street in front of me was indeed a little familiar, as if I had been here before. However, my family lives in the southern district of Liucheng, and rarely comes to the street of this northern district.
It's back...... This realization caused my muscles to relax unconsciously tense and a feeling of exhaustion welled up in my mind.
At the same time, I also noticed that some of the dust on myself and the blue bird was gone.
Matter from another dimension cannot be brought to the real world, not even dust.
"It's half past eight in the evening...... The date is also correct, and the time error is very small......" Qiao Licorice took out his mobile phone to log in to the Internet, checked the current time, and then said to us, "It's almost disbanded, right?" I feel like I'm dying of exhaustion......"
"Okay, thank you, Lord Grass, for saving your life!" Bluebird smiled and hugged Qiao Licorice.
I also sincerely thank you.
Joe Licorice looked at me and hesitated.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
She said embarrassedly, "I have something I want to ask you for help tomorrow afternoon, can you come over for a while?" ”
"Absolutely." I was a little curious about what she was talking about.
But she didn't seem to have any intention of saying it now, "Okay, I'll tell you where to meet tomorrow, goodbye." ”
After that, she said goodbye.
Bluebird looked at me, "I haven't eaten dinner yet, and you haven't eaten either, have you?" Let's go to dinner together. ”
Just now, I was looking for a way to survive in another dimension, but now I started talking about dinner as usual...... I admired her rough nerves, but I happened to be hungry, so I followed her.
As I walked along the road, she naturally took my hand, interlocking her fingers, like a glue-like lover.
In fact, we are lovers. It's just that I may not be very open about her love. I only have two to four years to live, so who can I make a lifelong agreement with? I shouldn't have been so close to her, but I should have stayed away from her.
However, this soft hand was so warm and powerful, as if it was saying that it would never let go of me, and it seemed like it was sure that I would never let go of her.
Yes, I don't want to let her go.
I want to protect her too.
"Bluebird, what are you going to do next?" I asked, "Do you want to keep tracking the middleman?" ”
"Of course...... Although I would like to say this, the intermediary will definitely leave Liucheng. She said, "They have been chased so embarrassed, there is no reason not to leave." Not ......"
She thought about it again, "With his strength, he can become a cadre in some big organizations, but for some reason, he is incognito and lurking in the black market in Liucheng, there may be something he wants here...... Maybe he'll stay in Liucheng? ”
"Why don't I help too?" I said, "Although the middleman is not as strong as you, this incident also proves that he is not only a helper, but also very good at setting traps, even you may suffer, so ......"
Before she could finish speaking, she interrupted loudly, "No! You can't come! ”
I was a little surprised to see her so excited, but then I thought that it might be a problem on Lie's side. At that time, Lieku warned me not to inquire about and meddle in the mission of the blue bird, and now I have not only inquired, but also planned to interfere. Column vacancies may not sit idly by.
As a result, Bluebird's reasons were different from what I thought.
"There's a succubus on the middleman's side!" She exclaimed, "You're going to be smitten when you meet that succubus!" No, no, no, no! ”
"Uh...... Not necessarily. "I don't have much confidence myself.
"Aren't you interested in things that look like people and aren't human? And when I was in the dream, I was specially consulted about succubi! ”
"It's not a special consultation, I just asked casually."
"Not interested, why are you asking? If you ask, you are interested! She said categorically.
I can't argue with that, because I do be basically only interested in things that look like people and non-people, and very much.
If you are against a succubus, a human-like and inhuman thing that specializes in charm...... Maybe she'll stand across from me and smile at me, and I'll be defeated.
And the blue bird is both the same sex and has no abnormal habits, Rao is so also fixed by the succubus for a second, which shows the power of its charm.
I had to promise her that I wouldn't interfere this time.
She smiled widely.
"But don't worry, if there is any progress on my side in the investigation of the intermediary, I will also share the information with you." "You still want to keep tracking the Siren's hand," she said...... Right? ”
"Yes." I nodded.
"I'll help you." She held my hand harder and harder.
After eating, I said goodbye to the blue bird and returned to my temporary accommodation. But it shouldn't be called a temporary residence now, it's already my permanent residence. Although it is not excellent as a place to live, it is better than simplicity, and it is comfortable to live alone. I lay my body flat on the bed and went to sleep.
Then, I had a bizarre dream.
In my dreams, I saw "it" again.
Wearing a white ruffled dress, it held my hand and walked through the bustling streets of Liucheng. In contrast to the old days of hiding, we walked openly among the crowds, sometimes buying snacks and drinks, sometimes looking at clothes and accessories, and even laughing and talking together.
I listened to it tell me about the movie, and I watched it eat ordinary food, all of which I had dreamed of in the past.
I used to do a lot of work to bring it to my side, cooking, storytelling, music...... I worked hard to learn the dishes that were so well received, I worked hard to collect touching stories, and I occasionally hummed the songs that the front table hummed to me...... But those efforts all failed. Unconsciously, I also gave up in discouragement.
For the sake of it, I am willing to fall anywhere, but ......
How I want to listen to it, to know what it thinks, to eat the same things as it, to be moved by the same things.
As long as we can be together, it doesn't matter if we fall or soar.
But could this just be my self-righteousness?
I'm deeply fascinated by its magical charm, but if it one day truly becomes a human and has a true humanity, will I give it up without mercy?
Just as I can't tell the truth of it, I can't tell my own heart.
Chaos, frenzy, sticky...... Our relationship always seems to be full of indistinguishable elements.
I said to the people around me, "Let's stop here." ”
It...... Or rather, she nodded at me and let go of my hand.
I have realized that this dream is not a dream of natural formation, but of some spiritual force.
The "it" in front of me is not purely composed of my memories, but just some kind of foreign object in this set skin.
"Can you please change back to your original state?" I asked.
"I don't have the so-called 'as is.'" She said, "But since you ask for it, I'll change my appearance." ”
After saying that, her body shrank directly, and she actually became a young girl-like "it".
I was dumbfounded, no longer bothered by my appearance, and asked straight to the point, "Who are you?" ”
She walked briskly in front of me, then turned lightly and made eye contact with me.
"I am the light of your life, the fire of your desires, your sin, your soul."
"It's easy to put it simply." I say.
She put it succinctly, "I am the Siren Blade." ”
