Reincarnation Paradise: There are vests everywhere

Chapter 2082 Nightmare Demon
The ruins swayed in the distorted light and shadow. The streets were no longer straight lines, but were as complicated as a maze, sometimes rising into steep stairs, sometimes sinking into bottomless caves. Time lost its meaning here.

Nightmares are the projection of people's most secret, twisted wishes and fears. The breath of despair began to invade the forest, causing the forest to gradually become foggy. Perrin felt the ground beneath her feet turn into a soft swamp, and every step seemed to swallow her up. The trees around her twisted into strange shapes, and a faint green light shone through the branches and leaves, as if countless eyes were watching her in the dark.

Faced with such a horrifying scene, Princess Perrin did not dare to stay where she was and quickly ran into the forest.

"There are footsteps, as if someone is running." Mello's pink rabbit ears moved, and he heard some noise and walked in that direction.

"Then go and have a look." Lin Jiu felt that in this strange world, his original perception could not expand outward, but could only be compressed into a small area around him. No, it cannot be said that it could not expand, but that if it expanded outward, it would be affected by some force, and the perception would become very chaotic.

Now Lin Jiu's perception range is not as good as Melo's hearing. Melo's younger brother has the talent of wind speaking. Although Melo does not have this talent, her hearing is still far beyond ordinary people.

The wind whisperers in the nature lineage have the talent to listen to the sound of the wind, feel everything the wind brings, and use this to detect their own secret information. They are also the strongest intelligence department of the Cangyue Alliance. As long as there is any disturbance in the Dusk Jungle, they will not be able to escape their detection.

If Lin Jiu needed information about the past rather than the present, the first target he would have come to would definitely be the Windtalkers organization.

Soon, Melo and Lin Jiu saw a little girl running, and behind her was a forest that was constantly being eroded and corrupted.

"This way~" Mello could see that the little girl was not a member of their Cangyue Alliance, but she still shouted, wanting to save her.

Yilin, who was on Gungun's body, was very curious when she saw the little girl who was a little older than her coming over. She flew over with a lantern and wanted to make friends with her. Lin Jiu silently protected Melo in front of him. After all, he was not sure whether this little girl could control the changes of the demons in the dream.

It is not difficult to see that there are two opposing forces in the dream world now. The fantasy forest area where they are is the territory of Lucy, the god of dreams, and the unknown area on the other side is the territory of the devil. Lucy's territory is constantly corroded by corrupted plants and gradually covered by fog, which reveals that Lucy has fallen into a disadvantage in this confrontation.

"Hello, I'm Yilin. Do you want to play with me?" Yilin took the little girl to the lantern, flew back, and greeted the little girl at the same time.

"Wow, a flying magic lantern, so magical. I'm Perrin, nice to meet you." Princess Perrin exclaimed as she sat on a lantern that looked like something out of a fairy tale. They also had magic in the Holy Glory Empire, but most of it was based on the Holy Light Magic of the Holy Glory Hall, which was too monotonous and not as diverse as the Cang Yue Alliance's magic, which was dominated by talent.

Perrin, who had a childlike mind, immediately forgot the urgency of being hunted by the corrupt power and started chatting with Yilin beside her. After observing for a while, Lin Jiu also confirmed that the little girl Perrin had no relationship with the devil.

Not only that, Lin Jiu also learned two important pieces of information from the communication between Yilin and Perrin. The first is that although the dream world is mixed and can connect to anyone's dream, there will be a main carrier. Because the unknown demon and the god of dreams are in opposition, there are now two carriers.

Perrin in front of us is one of them, and she is also the carrier of the devil. When she enters the forest area, the efficiency of the unknown demonic power invading the forest will be greatly improved.

The second important news is that the little girl, Perrin, is the apple of the eye of the current king of the Holy Glory Empire. If something happens to the princess of the Holy Glory Empire, it will definitely cause great turmoil. However, this news is of no use to Lin Jiu, as he is far away in the Cangyue Alliance. Now is the time when demons are emerging, and the turmoil in the Holy Glory Empire is a situation where the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

"Let's go, let's speed up, otherwise this God of Dreams will not be able to hold on." Lin Jiu estimated that Lucy was "weakened". Either she was seriously injured and had not recovered, or something else happened. Otherwise, she was still called a god after the Age of Gods. She could not resist the corrosive power of a demon. It was not credible at all to say that she was in her prime.

Lin Jiu led Perrin back to the eroded area. The corrupted and twisted trees attacked them, trying to force Perrin to continue fleeing towards the forest. But even Melo could handle this level of attack, let alone force them to retreat.

The group was traveling very quickly. There was a reason why Lin Jiu was so enthusiastic. He couldn't bear to sit and watch the dream world being invaded by the power of the devil.

[You have triggered the side quest: Nightmare Demon. ]

[Side Quest: Nightmare Demon]

Difficulty level: Lv.55
Mission information: In the dream world formed by the confrontation between the God of Dreams Lucy and the Nightmare Demon, there are many demons hiding, eyeing this dream world covetously.

Mission requirements: Join one camp and expel the other camp.

Tip: Choose to join the Devil/Dream God.

Task period: 2 calendar days.

Mission reward: depends on the target killed.

Mission penalty: mandatory execution.

……

If he were in the outside world, Lin Jiu could ignore this triggered side quest and do the main quest first. But now he has been drawn into the dream and cannot escape without doing the quest, so there is no need to refuse the quest.

For Lin Jiu, the choice of camp is actually just one option. He is acting from the standpoint of Qing, and he has the initial identity of Yangyan Messenger. Other contractors can choose to go the route of the devil camp, but he certainly can't. If he switches to another camp, he will not be trusted.

On the other side of the dream world, Talida made the same choice as Lin Jiu. It was not because of her identity or telepathy, but because Talida thought that she came here to hunt down demons, and she could not forget her original intention when accepting the mission. This damn nightmare demon had slipped away, and she would not be able to vent her anger if she didn't kill that guy.

Both sides invariably moved towards the area where the opposing forces collided most intensely, that is, the midline area. Anyone who is not a fool knows that this place is the most critical.

The environment in the middle area is even more peculiar. Half of it is a dark purple night sky covered with dark clouds, which is as frightening as a doomsday scene; the other half is a bright starry sky with numerous stars and the Milky Way spanning the sky. It is breathtakingly beautiful, as if the endless dreams and hopes are within reach.

On one side of the ground was a desolate ruin, broken walls, flames, wailing and crying, forming a tragic nightmare picture. People's consciousness struggled to survive here, their faces were full of despair and pain, and every step seemed to be on a sharp blade, heart-wrenching.

On the other side is a lively paradise. Flowers are in full bloom, grass is green, streams are gurgling, birds are singing, and flowers are fragrant. Children are chasing and playing on the grass, their laughter is clear and melodious, like the sound of nature.
