Chapter 16: The Sleeping God

"Beautiful, isn't it?" a deep, magnetic voice sounded.

Everyone looked back, and the main entrance of the palace opened at some point, and at this moment there was a young man wearing a light blue cloak and a simple blue battle armor inside, and the lower god was dressed in a bath towel. The man's face is so handsome that it is almost bewitching, especially the high bridge of the nose and melancholy eyes, which makes people ignore his somewhat nondescript dress.

The man's figure is also quite well-proportioned, with well-defined muscles on his exposed skin, and his skin is so white that most women would envy him.

Wu Chun is sure that if such a man is definitely an idol who fascinates thousands of girls on the earth, he will be more rebellious than a certain XX in South Korea. However, among the gods of the underworld in Greek mythology, Wu Chun, such a handsome man, really can't remember who it is. But the poppies in the courtyard reminded him of a man, a shrine that had not appeared in the original episode of the God of War world.

Sleeping God...... Hypnos is the sleeping god of hell in Greek mythology, his twin brother is Danadus, the god of death, and their mother, the goddess of the night, Nikos, is the sister of Gaia, the goddess of the earth. It is said that his hypnotic abilities are not even able to resist Zeus, the king of the gods!

Hypnos has all kinds of legends on the earth, and even appears in many works, the only thing in common is that the palace is full of poppies, just like Wu Chun sees now, and it is because of this that Wu Chun made a judgment.

Originally in the underworld, Hypnos and his twin brother Danadus served around Hades, one in charge of death and the other in charge of sleep, and their status was second only to Hades and the queen of Hades. Wu Chun didn't expect to encounter a god of this level just after stepping into the underworld.

"These poppies are indeed very beautiful, and their appearance is bright and attractive, but in fact if they are seduced, they will fall into a place of no return, and if you fall asleep with them, you will never have a sweet dream. Wu Chun had something to say, and as he spoke, he turned around and prepared to signal to his companion the time to make a move.

Unexpectedly, Wu Chun's expression froze!

Whether it is the chosen ones such as Tifa, Milu, Charlilu and Sarah, or Kratos, the protagonist of the plot, they all disappeared without a trace. Behind them was empty, except for red poppies fluttering in the wind, as if they had never existed in the first place.

"You know the poppy very well, yes, for many people, the poppy is a symbol of the devil! They will slowly poison humans, but those humans cannot refuse the temptation of poppies. Hypnos plucked the poppy and sniffed it gracefully at the tip of his nose, pacing forward as he spoke.

His movements were very slow and gentle, and even the landing point of each step was calculated, and he didn't step on a poppy flower in the dense crowd of poppies.

Compared with Hypnos's calmness, Wu Chun was slightly worried in his heart. He wasn't worried about himself, but about Tifa and them, because Wu Chun had already judged what was going on.

Hypnos was originally in charge of sleep, and legend has it that even the god-king Zeus could not resist his hypnosis, which shows his ability, Wu Chun thought that he was already asleep at the moment, and if there was no accident, everyone else would also fall asleep.

Unlike any other type of attack, sleep is invisible and insubstantial, and you don't know when it will start. In terms of characteristics, illusion abilities, such as sub-dreams, are somewhat similar to it.

And now Wu Chun secretly pinched himself fiercely and found that there was actually a sense of pain! It stands to reason that there is no pain in the real sleep, or the pain can wake people up. But now that Wu Chun felt pain but didn't wake up, it was a little weird.

"Isn't it in a dream, no, it's impossible, the god in front of me is the god of sleep, and the greatest ability is hypnosis, so it must be in a dream, it seems that it is not so easy to wake up at all, and you need to find the right opportunity. Wu Chun said secretly in his heart.

Hypnos seemed to see through Wu Chun's thoughts at a glance, and he said casually: "You don't have to wonder if you are asleep, whether it is a dream or reality, as long as you can get happiness, the other qiē doesn't matter at all, don't you think so?"

Speaking of this, Hypnos pointed behind Wu Chun and said, "Look, the person you have in mind has come." ”

Wu Chun turned around and saw a snow suit. The snow coat in a pure white long skirt looked very holy, especially the red poppies set off this beauty, which actually made Wu Chun a little distracted at this moment.

As soon as he saw Xueyi appear, Wu Chun's first sentence, who was slightly confused, was: "Xueyi, why are you here, what about the rest of your group?"

"Spring, everyone is gone, I'm the only one left, I can only come to you. ”

Still the familiar voice, Wu Chun subconsciously kept telling himself, "This is not true, this is not Xueyi, this is not ......" but his words naturally said: "What kind of nerves are those guys, are you okay, since you are here, let's act together!"

"Well, but it's so beautiful here, it's not like hell at all, it's more like heaven. I want you to accompany me, it doesn't matter where you are. Xueyi rarely grabbed Wu Chun's sleeve and made a coquettish look like a little girl.

"Okay, okay, accompany you, it's really beautiful here, wait, what about Hypnos?" Wu Chun realized that Hypnos behind him didn't know when it had disappeared, and at the same time, the solemn palace was missing.

When Wu Chun turned around again, in addition to seeing the snow clothes with affection, he also saw the blue sky and white clouds, flowers everywhere, and picturesque scenery. And not far away in the woods, there are two simple houses.

"This is?" Wu Chun wondered in his heart, he always felt that something was wrong, as if it shouldn't be like this, and he shouldn't be here. But a qiē is so natural and harmonious......

"Spring, what's wrong with you, that's our new home, how beautiful the scenery is, we can live here freely. Yingying is still waiting for us, she must have cooked a meal, let's go!" Xue Yi took Wu Chun's hand and ran like the two houses.

Wu Chun was pulled by Xueyi and ran around, and suddenly remembered his wish.

"Yes, it should be like this, Xueyi and I fulfilled our wish and resurrected Yingying, so we were free and found such a paradise on earth, living carefree. I vowed to make up for the snow suit and make her happy. Thinking in his heart, the corners of Wu Chun's mouth showed a happy smile.

Soon, Wu Yingying's figure appeared in Wu Chun's sight, and the girl's happy smile made Wu Chun forget about the tragedy that happened not long ago, and even Wu Chun himself felt that something was slowly pressed in his heart, deeper and deeper, farther and farther away. And now, the beginning of happiness is about to begin......

"Are you really happy?" Tifa asked herself inwardly.

She looked at her former family, lovers sitting around drinking and chatting, whether it was Claude or Baroque (Final Fantasy 7 characters), with happy smiles on their faces. Even everyone else is the same. Yuffie even beckoned to Tifa.

The HRE Corporation collapsed, Jenova was wiped out, and the Earth finally gained its hard-won peace. Luckily, none of Tifa's companions died, and everyone was safe. But Tifa felt a lingering shadow in her heart. She didn't know what it was, but she knew it was her truest memory.

As if seeing Tifa distracted at the bar, Claude walked over slowly.

As the male protagonist of the final fantasy VII, Claude has the same handsome face as most of the main characters, with yellow hair and personality, and wears a black casual jacket, which can be described as cool and handsome.

"Don't clean it up now, it's rare that everyone is so happy, let's have a few drinks with everyone!" Claude said as he leaned on the bar.

Tifa shook his head lightly: "I'm a little tired, you go and accompany Alice!"

I don't know why, after saying this, Tifa's heart seemed to be hit by something, and the feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

On the edge of the table, a big-eyed girl in a red coat, pink dress, and two twisted braids happened to smile at Tifa. This girl is the heroine of Final Fantasy Seven, despite her early death in the original plot. The last survivor of the ancient race - Alice.

Tifa suddenly realized at this time, "yes! Claude likes Alice, how did I forget that...... Alice? I remember Alice was ...... Ah, my head hurts!"

"Tifa, Tifa!" Claude shouted with some worry as he saw Tifa holding his head in his hands and looking pained.

"I'm fine," Tifa looked up again, her expression was a little more than that, she looked directly at Claude and asked, word for word, "Why is Alice here? Isn't she dead?"

The wine glass in Alice's hand, who heard this not far away, fell directly and shattered on the ground.

"What are you talking about, Alice is here, something is wrong with you today, do you want Alice to die, or do you want us all to die? Isn't that what you want us to be together? Isn't it what you always wanted everyone to live together carefree and happy?" Claude's voice was a little stern.

"Everybody's happy and carefree life together......" Tifa muttered over as she lowered her head so that no one could see her expression. But her body began to tremble, and it became more and more violent.

No matter how others called her, she didn't respond. Because Tifa is fighting at the moment, and the object of the battle is herself. Two voices kept ringing in Tifa's head.

"Living happily ever after, that's how it should be. ”

"No, there are still many things, and I know that there are still many things that are not done, and this happiness is false. ”

"How come, you see that everyone is fine, and Claude is also around, what is not satisfied?"

"But Claude doesn't love me!"

"So what? everyone will be happy together, don't think about those ethereal things, whether it's the salvation space, or Wu Chun or something, let it be buried forever!"

At this moment, Tifa's body shook and the trembling stopped, and she still had her head down, but her face did not seem to be as gloomy and gloomy as it had been at first.

After a long time, when Tifa looked up again, his face was full of smiles, resolute smiles.

She said loudly: "Thank you, another me, you reminded me that even if this is really true and happy, what I still have to do is to complete the final goal with Wu Chun, and then it will be true happiness." ”

After hearing Tifa's words, everyone with various expressions all looked at her, and they all showed knowing smiles on their faces.

"If I can do it, I'll be with everyone. But now, I'm sorry everyone. Tifa swept carefully over each of his companions. Every time she glanced at someone, the latter would turn into a little light and fade away......
