Chapter 557 Nightmare

"Next, be careful, try not to talk, we are about to enter the range of 'Nightmare'." The white horse whispered to Rhodes on his back.

"I see." Rhodes replied.

He looked up at the front, and a thick gray mist shrouded the front, purple lightning flashed from time to time in the dark cloud-covered sky, and there was a sharp dividing line between the blue and clear sky above his head.

The white horse carried Rhodes into this world shrouded in gray mist.

Strange whispers, howls, and sharp laughter sounded in Rhode's ears from time to time. When these sounds sounded, there would be blurred lights and shadows flashing in the mist, as if creatures making weird sounds were hiding in the surrounding mist Average.

Recalling the previous experience, this kind of scene would not make Rhodes feel any discomfort at all.

When he experienced those weird and terrifying things before, the main reason why he was afraid was that the aggregate of fear consciousness amplified his sense of fear, as if quietly using an irresistible fear technique on him.

The white horse slowed down and walked quietly in the mist.

Rhodes felt that the surrounding gray mist might be the same thing that made up the white horse and the big tortoise in essence, and it was the consciousness of countless people.

Looking at it from another angle, they are now in this gray mist, in fact, they are staying in the body of a strange creature that has not yet formed.

The white horse moved forward quietly, walking towards the depths of the fog. After an unknown amount of time, the surrounding fog gradually thickened to the point that Rhodes began to have difficulty breathing.

With every breath, Rhodes felt that this gray mist seemed to be corroding and polluting him. If he stayed here for a long time, he might be completely assimilated and swallowed, becoming a strange creature.

He could feel the erosion on his body, but the erosion on his mind might have become serious long ago, but he couldn't find it himself.

Rhodes can only hope that his soul has become stronger during this period of time, and he can persist for a longer period of time under this erosion.

He suddenly felt a little strange, since this place is so dangerous, why doesn't the white horse return to the lake it is so familiar with and go to the real world from there?

For the white horse, it is not in a hurry, why should it take this risk?

Rhodes hadn't noticed this before, and had been thinking about Missel.

It's too late to discover the problem now, they've gotten to this dangerous place.

The white horse used to be a pure-minded creature in the conscious world, but now it has truly gained autonomous consciousness and has its own thoughts. Rhodes doesn't know what its current personality is.

In case it is a character that will do anything for a little profit, bringing Rhodes here will give it great benefits...

Rhodes shook his head. Logically speaking, Baima's current personality should be similar to that in the story, proud, trustworthy, and even a little rigid.

"How long will it take?" Rhodes asked in a low voice.

"Soon." The white horse replied in a low voice.

"Since you think 'Nightmare' is very dangerous, why do you still risk going from here to the real world? Are you in a hurry?" Rhodes asked again in a low voice.

"I was born in this imaginary world. According to the rules, I can't leave here, and if I want to leave, many weird things will happen to prevent me from leaving, just like before I won the race." White Horse explained,

"Although that lake also has a passage to leave this world, my former friends all lived there. If they were all manipulated to attack me like that witch, I would definitely hurt them if I wanted to leave.

And the fairy in the middle of the lake is not much weaker than 'Nightmare', 'Nightmare' is the existence of your human beings born of nightmares, and in the fairy tales spread by your humans, that fairy protects children from nightmares. "

After listening to what the white horse said, Rhode felt that it should be true, not like it was fabricated temporarily to deceive him.

Not long after moving on, the white horse stopped.

"I seem to have lost my way. I've been running in circles since just now," Baima said.

"Maybe that kind of influence is starting to work, preventing you from leaving this world." Rhodes said calmly.

Then he jumped off the back of the white horse and looked around.

He didn't dare to use his mental power to detect the surrounding situation. After leaving the body, his mental power might be instantly eroded by the mist, which would quickly affect him.

Rhodes patted his head, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

He put his internal force outward, forming a protective cover on the surface of his body.

Just as he thought just now, the internal power after the fusion of magic power can not only eliminate the curse, but also help him counteract the erosive effect of the mist around him.

Rhodes didn't know whether it was because the effect of the Calamity of the Wise hadn't been completely eliminated as he felt, or because he had been worried about Missel just now and thus lowered his ability to judge.

"How do you judge the location of the passage?" Rhodes asked.

"The world feels unreal to me all the time, and the passage to the real world radiates a sense of reality.

When you become a "god" in the mouth of ordinary humans, you can also experience this feeling. "The white horse explained.

"I can feel the illusion of this world, but I can't feel the sense of reality emanating from that passage." After thinking for a while, Rhodes said: "I feel that this place seems to give me a stronger sense of illusion than the lake you used to live in. .”

After listening to the white horse, he was stunned: "You may feel wrong, this is not right...

The surroundings of the passage leading to the real world should be closer to reality. The lake only has a sense of reality around the small island in the middle of the lake, and you have never been there.

You can see that the surrounding gray fog is so thick, we must be in the core area of ​​the gray fog now, and it should be more real than any place you have been to before. "

Rhodes closed his eyes and sensed carefully for a while, and said with some doubts: "I don't seem to be wrong. When I entered this world, I deliberately sensed the difference between this world and the world of the dead for a long time, that illusory feeling I remember it all now, and it feels more unreal to me here than there."

"I see." The white horse's face suddenly changed: "We may 'fall asleep' after entering the mist, this is one of the abilities of 'Nightmare'."

"I have a question, why do you know these things? You haven't seen it before, how do you know its ability?" Rhodes asked again, and his heart became vigilant again.

"Hey, do you think this is the first time I have self-awareness? I have had it a few times before, but accidents happened before I left this world...

Although the consciousness was completely obliterated, those memories were inherited by the newly formed self.

This is the third time I chose to escape from this passage. If you still fail this time, you can see the ignorant me again when you go back to that lake.

But it's not me, even if it gains self-awareness and wakes up its memory, it's just another illusory creature with my memory..." Baima explained.

"Don't worry, I will help you escape here this time." Rhodes patted the back of the white horse.

　Thanks for the monthly pass of 2332112313!
　　Staying at home these days, but I don't have any mood updates. Several new types of pneumonia have been diagnosed in our community.

　　Even my grandpa's younger brother and his wife were admitted to the hospital, and now they can't be contacted in person, and they don't know if they have been diagnosed.

　　My family members sat with them and had New Year's dinner when the epidemic was not very serious some time ago...

　　I wish everyone good health!
