The blue bird had previously used the Burst Secret Method to consume his strength severely. Although it is only physical and mental exertion, at the cost of using this explosive secret method, it is simply a lethal dose of stimulants, but the consequence is only diarrhea. And even so, she has to concentrate on recovery first, otherwise she won't be able to show decent combat power. Just in case, you have to go to the medical department for a full medical examination.

While Phase Space covered Liucheng, some of the law enforcement warlocks were still patrolling and carrying out their duties outside. And when the countless demons besieging the Liucheng Security Bureau dissipated, they were all able to return smoothly. Some of them also rescued ordinary people who were almost kidnapped by the fluctuation of the power of pollution outside, and they were also temporarily placed in the Liucheng Security Bureau.

Multiple departments are working hard to parse Nightmare Willow City, and have received a lot of useful information. According to the results of the analysis, Nightmare Willow City is not quite the same as I originally envisioned.

The nightmare of the past, Liucheng, is a dream created by thousands of sleepers who have been used by fanatics to use their collective power. The reason why there are countless "channels" inside is because this dream is not only the dream of all people, but also the dream of everyone themselves. And now the nightmare Liucheng is no longer the collective dream of the sleepers, although the white horse forced it into the real world, but there are not so many "channels".

It's just that since we want to convert millions of people into immortals, a large number of "channels" are needed to prevent unimaginable pollution from erupting after the transformation. Frankly speaking, I was only speculating about Hakuko's purpose of "converting the entire population of the city into immortals", but now I am very close to being convinced. Because under the observation of multiple departments, the phenomenon of cutting is indeed taking place in the depths of Nightmare Liucheng, and one channel after another is generated.

This is most likely the reason why Bai Ju is artificially cutting Nightmare Liucheng behind the scenes, and it is also the reason why he did not follow Fazheng to attack.

In addition, some warlocks went to the stronghold set up by the fanatics somewhere in Liucheng at the end of November last year, and it was indeed restored to the appearance of the Liucheng collective sleepout incident, and a large number of high-precision equipment that should have been placed inside were gone.

The corpses of the members of the Mirage investigation team had said that the equipment was related to the study of the secret knowledge of dreams. At the same time, it was once a key piece of equipment used by fanatics to manipulate Nightmare Willow City behind the scenes. Hakuma is probably using those devices to cut through the alternate dimension, and once the cutting is done, he's going to truly turn everyone into immortals.

He doesn't need to really cut out millions of "channels". If you just want the undead not to gather too much, hundreds of thousands of "channels" are not impossible. The time it will take him to finish the cut is still unknown, but it shouldn't take long.

Now we have to race against time, but we still can't grasp where the white horse is, and it is difficult to even explore the labyrinth of willow city. The sirens also relied on their own knowledge to make a judgment, if they want to find a certain object in the current nightmare willow city, or go to a certain place they want to reach, they must come up with the corresponding medium just like when they cooperated with Qiao Licorice before.

To put it simply, if you want to lock down the white horse, you must come up with an item that is closely related to the white horse.

The Liucheng Security Bureau does not have a medium associated with Baiju, but there is a medium associated with Fazheng, and it is on me.

That was the fragment of Fa Zheng's own spirit body.

This is not a general relevance. I released the fragment and handed it over to the department in charge of tracking it. As the leader of the law camp, Fa Zheng is also very good at reconnaissance and counter-investigation, and he is a super main warlock, so it is very difficult to track him down, but we have his "soul fragments" here. The Security Service quickly located him.

He was in the heart of the city, and he was the direction where the polluting power fluctuations first erupted.

Many warlocks were gathered in the battle room, and I naturally participated in the discussion as the main force of the next battle.

"There are only two strategies that Fazheng will choose now: offense, or defense." Lieque groaned, "His attack has failed, that is to say, ......"

"That's where he retreated, the key to Nightmare Willow City?" I asked.

"His position hasn't moved much since then. Combined with our technicians' analysis of Nightmare Liucheng, it is undoubtedly the center of Nightmare Liucheng. He said, "And the white pony must be there." ”

"The space-time distortion in that place is very serious, and ordinary movement methods will never reach the core, even if you use the imitation elemental movement that lacks you, you will not be able to cross this labyrinth head-on." The technician next to him said, "We need time to parse out the correct route to pass." ”

"How long will it take?" Column is missing.

"Five hours." The technician replied.

"Give me three hours to get results." Column is said beyond doubt.

The technician looked at Lie Que's face and said helplessly, "Yes." ”

With that, he turned and left the conference room. The battle meeting also ended, and the crowd dispersed.

Lie Que asked me to recharge my energy first and get ready for battle. I found a vacant lounge and went in, sat down on the couch, and waited for the signal to strike.

Looking at the glowing chandelier hanging from the ceiling, some chaotic thoughts appeared one after another like a sparkling light on the sea, and then extinguished one after another.

Presumably, the final battle will follow.

Since I am fighting against Hakukoma, I have absolutely no hope of success if I do not fight on the premise of sacrificing myself. So this is both the end of this big event and the end of my life.

I wondered if I should write a suicide note, but my mind seemed to be stuffed with blank substance, and no words came out. I was finally able to meet the shattering of my dreams, but I couldn't summarize any feelings.

Maybe it's a blessing to just think about nothing. I didn't feel how bad I was now, on the contrary, a sense of peace that I had never felt like I had ever felt enveloped my soul. It seems to have dived into the depths of the sea, flattening his body on the seabed, just quietly staring at the sparkling waves above.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the lounge, which also woke me up. Where is the sparkling sea, it's just a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. I straightened my expression and said in the direction of the door, please come in.

Someone pushed the door in, two people, my parents.

I was stunned.

"I've heard you're about to take part in a very dangerous battle." Father said.

Who said that? No, it doesn't matter. The two of them sat down on the couch across from me. I can't think of anything I should say in return. The mother stopped talking, and then looked at the father, as if to give him the power of conversation. The latter observed my expression and said, "That girl has already told us about your experience over the years, so you don't need to say anything more. ”

That girl is talking about the blue bird. I don't know how Bluebird told my parents about my experiences over the years, whether it was flat and straightforward, or did it pass over certain places? Anyway, that's something I can't be honest with my parents. Taking a step back, I couldn't have been able to speak frankly to my parents about anything in the first place. But I don't think it's the best thing to keep hiding, so I'm grateful to her for being able to help me say it.

My father didn't seem to be waiting for me to react to his words, but continued, "According to what I've heard before, when this is over, we'll forget all that happened today, or distort it into other inconsequential experiences, right? ”

"Yes." I nodded.

"There's no possibility of writing it down?" He asked.

"Nope." I say.

"That's right......" he sighed, then looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling, as if remembering something.

After a moment, he sighed and said, "When I was twenty years old, I had a dream. ”

"Dreams?" I asked, puzzled.

"At that time, I wanted to go to university, but my parents didn't believe that I would be able to pass the exam, and my family didn't have much money, so they arranged me to work for a construction company with relatives, and they didn't support me when I said I wanted to work and study. I was sad and didn't want to work and didn't deal with my colleagues. They go out to dinner, and I'd rather lie in the staff dorm room and read second-hand magazines. "I fell asleep and dreamed," he recalled. In my dreams, I wandered through an empty, labyrinthine city full of monsters trying to eat me, and the sky didn't brighten no matter how long it passed. Then, I met a teenager who was much younger than me. ”

"He looks like me in the past, and has incredible strength, just like the fantasy of me when I was a teenager. But he told me that when I grow up, not only will I not be able to become the ideal version of myself, but I will also become a failed middle-aged person who can't do anything. He lamented, "I want to be alone and free, but he said that I will be forced by my parents to marry a woman in the same situation in the future; I don't want children, but I will still give birth. That's it, it's nothing more than stepping into the same life as many people. But he also said that the child I raised with great difficulty will evaporate in the mountains in the future, which is very unreasonable. ”

"The person you dreamed of was me, and you weren't the one you dreamed when you were twenty years old. That's a hidden event that you experienced last year. I said.

"Yes, maybe I'm misremembering, or maybe it's the result of a misinterpretation of the memory I said earlier, but let me get on with it first." He sighed, "All in all, when I woke up at the age of twenty, I didn't take it to heart. Because it was a dream after all, and I gradually forgot about it after that. However, in recent years, I have slowly remembered the bizarre dream I had when I was younger. It seemed to be a prophetic dream, and what happened after that was exactly what it said in the dream. I married a wife and had children, but I couldn't make a good career, just lived like a lot of middle-aged people. ”

"A lot of parents say that when you have a child, you will naturally like it, but I can't do that. I often think that if I didn't have you, it would be like you had been given a body to speak and walk like the invisible shackles that had been imposed on me around me, and I felt like I was not free all the time. "On the other hand, I know that you are not wrong, and I should treat you well." My parents never thought about my feelings and were full of thoughts about how my life would govern, so I thought at least you would be free to choose. You can do whatever you want, and I will never make irresponsible remarks about you, let alone try to be the ruler of your life. ”

"You did fulfill the promise you made to me in your dreams." I say.

I mean this from the bottom of my heart. As promised in a dream, he worked hard to make me feel free of food and clothing, so that I could study with peace of mind. He said that his parents used to beat and abuse him when he was a child, and that he never did that to me. Actually, my living environment is very comfortable.

That's why I used to be so childishly awkward, just because I felt that my parents didn't care enough about me, I couldn't help but lose my temper. If it weren't for the fact that children who grew up in a comfortable environment, they wouldn't be so naïve.

When I look back after becoming an adult, I see how superficial and low-level troubles it is. And for me in the past, it was simply dark.

"At the end of the day, we still didn't think about your feelings, and we never cared about you." He said, "I'm sorry. ”

"It's my duty to say I'm sorry." I said, "I've always had a misunderstanding of you. ”

"It's not a misunderstanding." He smiled relievedly, "Besides, although it is still in the process of your so-called secret incident, this conversation we have here is just an ordinary conversation between parents and children, and it should not be forgotten afterwards." ”

"Maybe." I'm not so sure.

"Although I only thought it was a dream last time, since I can still remember it now, it means that I haven't really run out of my head. I think that even if I can't remember this conversation today, it must have been precipitated in my heart, and I may subtly change many of my views in some form in the future. So when the time comes, I hope you can come back to the door and talk to us. At this point, he added with a smile, "Don't pretend to be anyone else this time." ”

Then, he stood up and wanted to leave the lounge. But instead of standing up, the mother reached out and grabbed him, reminding, "Don't forget what the girl said." ”

He suddenly said, "By the way, you see my brain, I always forget the most important things. ”

With that, he walked up to me. What is this intended to do? I looked at him suspiciously, only to see him hesitate slightly, then spread his arms and give me a hard hug.

My mother slowly stood up and hugged me tightly from the other direction. He didn't say anything, just hugged quietly.

It took a while for them to go, and I finally came back to my senses.
