Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

The blood-red sky seemed to be continuously stirred counterclockwise by God's glass rod, and the ripples produced turned into concentric circles of different sizes. The closer it is to the center of the circle, the darker the color, and the center has become a blood-red abyss, just like the eyes of Satan peeking at the dreamers who claim to be the rulers of this world.

"Most of the townspeople will no longer have reason, and the remaining townspeople will slowly develop in this direction... These townspeople who have become evil spirits will become the hunters of the rulers."

The tea cat dragged me and Xue Xueer through the alley together, just as I saw the sea of ​​stars that merged with the sky, the voice of dark green pupils faintly sounded from the side.

"However, you did the complete opposite of what others did in the last war of domination. You treated the townspeople like a gentle king—as the saying goes, you captured the townspeople before they turned into evil spirits. With their almost one-sided recognition, they became the only ruler who not only will not be attacked by evil spirits, but can issue orders to them, so they were called "Princess of the Spirit Kingdom" at that time."

His words made me glance at the tea cat beside me who stopped in her tracks. Her eyes were shaken and trembling, and the pupils seemed to be the sea in a storm.

"Miss Zero, why are you back?"

"Your Majesty, you...you are finally back!"

In the town I remembered, the voices of the townspeople began to echo over and over again in my mind. Could it be that it is not the "zero" in the numbers I understand, but the "spirit" of the "ghost"? Only then did I suddenly understand what the townspeople called her for.

According to previous assumptions, this town is the dream world of the dream madman, an allusion to the domination war. Now is the moment when their world is turned upside down, which shows that the dream madmen can no longer tolerate the current situation-in short, they are not satisfied with our investigation progress, and the game has not developed to the "crazy" they expected. Therefore, they turned into the earth to vent their "resentment and anger", which aroused the "resentment and anger" of the townspeople. The townspeople are dreamers who incarnate Sleeping Beauty in the real world. In this way, doesn't the "king's campaign" they talk about mean "elect the ruler in the gap between dreams"?

In other words, the ultimate goal of dominating wars from the very beginning is not for the so-called "power to dominate reality". The dream madmen who organized the war do not want to share this right with the winners. Their original intention is to elect the "king" of this world, that is, the observer who dominates the war and the ruler of the cracks in the dream. I couldn't help feeling incomprehensible about their purpose in doing this.

The evil spirits behind rushed over in hot pursuit and squeezed into the narrow alley. The mirror man who hid on the other side of the street from a slider between us breathed a sigh of relief. I also quickly patted Chamao on the shoulder, and Xue Xueer dodged together. But the dark green pupil severely restrained the tea cat's movements.

The tea cat's eyes suddenly showed a dangerous light, grabbed the hand of the dark green pupil strangling his neck, and flung it aside fiercely, the dark green pupil also fell to the ground with his puppet army helplessly. On the ground, he fell to the ground and sneered. Tea Mao, who vaguely sensed something was wrong, realized that the eyes of the evil spirits were all aimed at himself who was closest to him. The gray-haired evil spirit gnawed off a piece of flesh and blood on his shoulder.

"Come on, the so-called "Princess of the Spirit Kingdom"!? How dare the evil spirits who surrender to you dare to attack you? You are not the only one who gives orders to them!" Dark green pupil said here, holding on to the staff and shaking Standing up unsteadily, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, he nodded his head, "Oh... no matter how much recognition you have from the townspeople, you, who are no longer the ruler, cannot rule the subjects of your spiritual kingdom yes..."

"The mayor...even you..."

Tea Mao endured the pain in his shoulder and stared straight at the mayor of the evil spirit who had lost his mind. His right hand was hanging on the old man's shoulder at a loss, unable to move for a long time.

While she was plagued by lost memories, I, her ruler, seemed to suffer in equal measure. I gritted my teeth, let go of Xiao Lulu and entrusted her to Xue Xueer, and tried my best to step forward faster, trying to take the opportunity to pull the tea cat out, but they still bit her one after another and refused to let go.

"Yo, you really have affection? Ah, it's no wonder they respect you so much for a little girl! It's a pity that everyone has disowned their relatives now, and you, who appeared as a dream maker, have no right to control them, no matter how much recognition you have. Strength is powerless too! Back when you manipulated the evil spirits and came close to devouring me, you never imagined that this day would come, right?"

"hateful..."

The attention of the evil spirits was gradually attracted to me, and the tea cat suddenly stretched out its palm and pushed it towards my chest. Assimilated by the memory, I was knocked to the sidewalk along the road by this force. At this moment, it seemed that a strange figure suddenly broke into the alley, and he used all his strength to knock away the evil spirits around him. But he is not a dominator either. I gradually saw the appearance of that person clearly. It was a store manager I saw when I first came to town.

"Your Majesty the Princess! Damn it! What are you doing to Your Majesty the Princess? Stop it!"

For some reason, the dark eyes of the tea cat regained a little light. It was as if she stretched out her hand from the bottomless sea of ​​memory, and finally swam to the surface. The memory that fetters my thinking is also liberated.

"Tea cat, they no longer have reason!"

I shouted vigorously in the direction of the tea cat. The tea cat who has really become my dream maker may obey my command, but I want her to act according to her own ideas. It's also possible that I didn't see her in the first place as a dreamer, but... as a couple. At this time, the tea cat grabbed the old man who was biting violently at the shoulder, and threw it viciously in the direction of the dark green pupils.

The dark green pupil that was hit by the hit leaned back, and quickly propped up the staff to stand firm, so the evil spirit rushed to his chest and gnawed it down forcefully. The severe pain made all the humanoid machines clutch their chests. The tea cat quickly got away from the evil spirit and came to my back. The store manager just now also closed his eyes tightly at this time, lowered his head in pain, his body mutated crazily, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already assimilated with the evil spirits around him.

But at this time, a louder and more mournful roar sounded. Extending to the street opposite to the Xinghai Tavern, a large number of people rushed towards us. Among them, the ones running in the front row are all rulers, and the ones chasing them are evil spirits similar in appearance to those in the alley. It seemed that they were all in a panic. They obviously didn't expect the townspeople to develop into this form. There were even evil spirits wandering around in the sky.

There were screams one after another, and the rulers kept tripping over each other and fell to the ground. The saliva spewed out of the undead's body as soon as they lowered their heads and opened their mouths. The sound of gnawing and screaming formed a strange symphony.

"Sorry!! I won't bully you guys anymore, please, please let me go!"

It's really a funny and ridiculous way to beg for forgiveness. At this time, the sound of someone falling to the ground suddenly came from behind, and at the same time, a hand was gently patted on the shoulder. I turned my head quickly, and saw the black cat leaning close to my ear gently hitting my ear with its warm breath. The plain white fingertips were slightly red, and they poked my cheek, which was stunned.

"Hey... Hey! What's the matter with you!"

I hurriedly stepped back a few steps, reaching out to cover the black cat's face. The brilliance in Tea Mao's eyes seemed to have dimmed a lot, but she didn't mean to complain, she just stared straight at me, looking a little pitiful.

"This kind of bad news happened in the town for no reason, so I had no choice but to blend in with the fleeing crowd ~ I didn't expect to see you just in time~"

"I didn't ask you this! Ah, you and Xiao Lulu both look like this, now is not the time to discuss this..."

However, at this moment, the dark green pupils had escaped from the mouths of the evil spirits, and he wobbled to his feet, the clothes on his chest reflecting the dark red color.

He raised his scepter and pointed it at us. The humanoid machine rushed straight again with the faint blue light.

"Bastard... get rid of you first..."

"Hey! You bastard, shouldn't you try to escape now? What the hell are you doing?!"

What I said didn't change his attitude at all. Instead, the Mirror Master next to him grabbed the scepter that he was pointing at us stubbornly.

"If we can escape by ourselves, I will definitely not stop you..."

The Mirror Master's tone was relatively calm. If the evil spirits don't float in the air, we can use this to escape, but there are evil spirits hovering everywhere in the sky, waiting eagerly for the ruler who chooses to escape by air to fall into our hands. But there is still the only way out - the height of the evil spirits' flight has not exceeded the ruler's clock closest to the ground.

"Well~ I didn't expect that the No. 1 clock, which insists on absolute independence, would have a time to ask for help~"

The black cat still looked at ease, as if it had no self-knowledge of being trapped. Obviously, the evil spirits coming from the alleys and streets have blocked all our exits.

The dark green pupil glared at the black cat fiercely, and the scepter was firmly held down by the mirror master, unable to move. In the end, the dark green pupil who couldn't find any other way out forcefully shook off the Mirror Master's hand, retracted the staff in front of her body, and let her weight rest on the top of the staff. The dark green pupils were full of reluctance.

"Don't worry, I promise that when we meet next time, we won't have any cooperation."

"Oh. I can't wish for it." The black cat shrugged its head and spread its hands, and then looked up and down at the dark green pupil, "Then please instruct your puppets to break through the sky... Anyway, you and those evil spirits are counted on the basis of numbers. Advantages, mutual restraint is the most suitable for you~ Over there, I will trouble you to use your "Infinite Mirror Image" to project more puppets and help open the way~"

"Understood——" just when Huang Mao was about to do it, he suddenly remembered something, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wait, why did you become following your orders... you woman is too self-talking Come on! Since we are all told to open the way ourselves, why should we ask you to cooperate!"

The black cat didn't answer him, but covered its mouth with its right hand and yawned, while stretching out its left hand and lifting it up slightly. Green vines burst out of the shell suddenly, piercing through the body of the evil spirit who silently came behind the mirror master and planned to bite it down. Only then did the mirror master realize what he turned his head suddenly.

"There are still more evil spirits than puppets in number, so you need to project~ But you need to put all your energy in the air, and the evil spirits on the ground naturally can't deal with it... Of course, this is the purpose of cooperation~"

Perhaps it was because of the approaching evil spirits, under the pre-emptive situation of being attacked by the black cat, the mirror master didn't have time to think about it, so he had to twitch the corner of his mouth and throw out the broken pieces of the mirror one after another.

Although he seemed to be throwing it aimlessly, but when the scepter in the hand of the dark green pupil pointed into the air, and the humanoid machine revived and rushed into the air, it was found that the mirror master's throwing method had ulterior motives— - Every lens that stays in the air is angled towards most of the golems. It seems that this is done in order to increase the number of puppets that can be copied.

Immediately afterwards, "Infinite Mirror Image—" As the mirror master threw out the stick, the image of the puppet in the mirror surface became clearer and clearer, and the sound of sand pattering became more and more intense, and the duplicated puppet burst out of the mirror suddenly. The situation in the air thus changed into a roughly one-to-one correspondence between puppets and ghosts. Seeing this scene, the irrational evil spirits on the ground grew juice-oozing wings on their backs, trying to rise up to support them.

"Damn it... what the hell are you thinking..."

Like the gates to hell opening one after another, hungry demons let their desires ravage the town. Suddenly someone entrusted Xiao Lulu to me gently. Immediately, Xue Xueer's timid voice "Vientiane copy——" came from the ear, and suddenly bloody mouths appeared from the curtain wall in front of the rising evil spirits, biting the evil spirits fiercely The flesh and blood on the shoulders are so barren that the bones are distinct.

In the blink of an eye, the evil spirits who stood opposite each other with the curtain wall as the axis began to bite each other. But as more and more evil spirits on the ground grew incomplete wings, cracks gradually appeared in the curtain wall.

Powerless, I clenched my fists tightly. He could only watch Xue Xueer's raised hands trembling unceasingly, and when the second hand of the clock swept across her numbers, he could barely recover some strength. It is clear that the time that is about to arrive is my control time, but whether it is "mind reading" or "one person with thousands of faces", it will not be of any use in this situation... This is something that I can't do even if I admit myself .

The two sides in the sky are indistinguishable, and it is still impossible to break through the siege. A sword shadow flashed by my side, and the sound of piercing the flesh and cutting the bones burst close to my ears. The tea cat swiftly pulled out the blade of the sword that had pierced through several dry bodies, turned around towards the entrance of the alley, let go of the hilt and threw it out, pushing the crowd back into the alley, and the sword received her The order came back to her.

"Hey, Lin Yu... are you reading other people's minds and assimilating yourself into the other person's appearance, just to pretend to be the other person?"

The tea cat glanced at me briefly, then jumped up and rushed towards the army of undead brought by the fleeing rulers, swung the sword that seemed to reflect what it saw, and brought the evil spirits together with the rulers who were mixed in. It was thrown towards the endless sea of ​​stars that turned into blood. Her pupils turned to the upper right, making the tear mole at the corner of her eye clearly dotted in my field of vision.

"If that's what you think, then 'one person with thousands of faces' is really the worst ability~" Tea Mao's tone was unhurried, but I could hear some eagerness. Or maybe it was because of my unilateral misconception that I was anxious about my own powerlessness. In short, the tea cat with its back to me said, "Try it... Please use your ability on Xiao Lulu~"

The tea cat in front of me swung its sword again, ignoring the evil spirits surrounding it and biting its own flesh and blood. Behind me, the black cat's dancing hands stretched out vines to pierce the bodies of evil spirits. Move your gaze upwards: one side is the mechanical army with dark green eyes, the puppet mirror image made by the mirror master, and the evil spirit replica made by Xue Xueer, and the other side is the evil spirit that hunts and kills the ruler. The resulting gap is still not enough to break out of the encirclement.

Suddenly, the black cat in his arms frowned and raised his right hand with difficulty. The small black sparks stirred at her plain white fingertips, and the black mist did not follow her command for a long time to appear, but in the end it was she who overwhelmed and put down her palm, on the verge of losing consciousness. I want to reprimand her to stop this kind of behavior that is tantamount to suicide, but I am not qualified to do anything.

"Try it... Please use your ability on Xiao Lulu~"

As if the voice had been cast a spell to re-echo over and over again, I let go of my tightly clenched fist. The sound of the pendulum clock "Boom, Boom, Boom" was heard from above the head, and the heart caught up with the sound, which meant that the time had passed to 12 o'clock, and beat. I lightly hung my index finger between Xiao Lulu's brows,

A heavy heart door was opened towards both sides, and the sea of ​​emotions flooded in from the other end and drowned me. The surrounding space was filled with sea water. I waved my arms desperately, trying to swim to the surface, but even the ceiling was flooded with water, and no matter how hard I beat it, it still remained motionless.

Finally, I sank to the bottom of the sea feebly, but what my back touched was not a hard rock, but the soft but extremely reliable back of another person. I quickly turned my head to look at the person supporting me... Xiao Lulu also looked back at me with the same surprised eyes. Her eyes were like a bottomless abyss, and the next second I fell into her eyes, opened my eyes and returned to the town where evil spirits were rampant.

Xiao Lulu in his arms closed his eyes tightly, frowning his brows in pain from time to time. Confused, I stretched out my hand to smooth the hair on her forehead, but found that the palm was too small, and then I realized that what I stretched out was Xiao Lulu's small hand - which means "one person has thousands of faces" What's the point of pretending to be Xiao Lulu to activate it again? I hugged her tightly, but the faint black mist hanging on the back of my hand caught my attention.

"I assimilate myself into the appearance of the other party, just to pretend to be the other party?"

I suddenly puffed up my eyes and widened them. The meaning of this sentence was conveyed to my heart by the voice of the tea cat. A voice next to my ear kept urging me, "Hurry up, use her dominance right now." I stretched out Xiao Lulu's slender arms tremblingly, aiming my palm at the surrounding area surrounded by the evil spirit. The only gap, even the sound of swallowing seemed to overwhelm any mourning.

In an instant, a sparse black mist appeared near the gap out of thin air. Gradually believing in that voice, I felt that the eyes reflecting the ancient clock were hot, and I tried my best to condense the particles floating around the sparse black mist at the same point. The black mist gradually became thicker, and the tone became " Darkness" is one step closer. Sweat had already soaked my back, and only then did I understand how difficult it is to use Xiao Lulu's ability. The feeling of exertion was as if I would lose everything even if I was slightly distracted. Swallowed and squeezed dry by the black mist. Not long after, only the hazy shape of the black mist remained in the field of vision.

"Now I have to replace Xiao Lulu..."

Xiao Lulu, whose body was tightly grasped by me, gently grabbed the clothes on my chest, and she weakly opened her eyes, but the clear light in her eyes cleared away all my obscurity.

"Hey.. Relax~ That black mist is like a black hole, the more you put yourself into it, the more you will be swallowed by it. You are manipulating it, so don't be manipulated by it..."

I don't know if I am Lin Yu in her eyes, or another self in her heart. But her voice did relax me, and my dim vision regained its light. Following that strange feeling, I loosened my five fingers one by one, and the black mist that was about to move suddenly exploded. Whether it is an evil spirit, a replica or a humanoid machine... as long as it is near it, it will be swallowed up by the black mist.

"The gap in the encirclement...!"

Lifting his head, he could clearly see that there was a gap through which he could pass. The dark green pupil who realized this first jumped up with ease and rushed straight to the gap. I was just about to rush over with Xiao Lulu, but a sense of dizziness made me take a step back, and the palm against the hot forehead turned back into my own. The weak left hand almost caused Xiao Lulu to fall to the ground, but fortunately the tea cat supported her in time.

"Can I go?"

I blinked my burning eyes vigorously, and nodded my head. The tea cat bit its lower lip, and threw the sword in its hand heavily at the tide of evil spirits rushing from the right. The sharp sword rotated rapidly and split the bodies of many evil spirits in two. Tea cat took the opportunity to put my wrist on her shoulder, and took us up into the sky. Following closely behind the black cat that was dragging Xue Xueer, he passed through the gradually narrowing gap.

The evil spirits who had lost their prey roared unwillingly, and stretched out their hands to me, the tea cat, and Xiao Lulu who were closest to them, and switched hands with their teeth and claws, as if they wanted to jump up and pounce on the prey floating on the sea. sharks, but the invisible barrier blocked them under a certain height. The ferocious face was squeezed under the barrier a little ridiculously.

"Sure enough, the undead can't reach the height of the ruler's clock."

The words that the dark green pupil said inadvertently made me look at the clock closest to the ground, which is at the same height as us at this moment. However, when I was about to separate from the masters of Clock No. 1, a strong dangerous atmosphere permeated the air, and then my body shook violently—the tea cat led me quickly past the Mirror Master without a sound The throwing stick.

"Huh? It's a little too much to attack the partner who just cooperated~"

The black cat's expression didn't know whether to describe it as "interested" or "sulky". But one thing is certain: she guessed that once she escaped from the siege, the rulers of Clock No. 1 would turn their faces immediately. But Mo Lutong didn't expect that the mirror master would do this, and hesitated in place. Fragments of the mirror below kept floating up, merging with the incomplete swing stick hanging in the air.

"Excessive? Originally, our cooperative relationship was established on the premise of being trapped below, right?" Mirror Master said while controlling the stick to chase after the tea cat. "What's more, this is an excellent opportunity. Two of your rulers have already fallen into the state of "overload" with one foot, and the other two are almost on the verge of limit. And I still have more energy. When will the war wait?"

"You bastard..."

He couldn't even utter abusive words, and the dry pain in his throat was as hot and painful as if he had swallowed a can of chili oil raw. But at this time, I noticed that Xiao Lulu's eyes were looking at me faintly, as if she was hinting at me—unexpectedly, I understood what she was thinking, because I was also thinking about the same thing. things.

I stared closely at her eyes, although my whole body screamed and protested to rest, I still persistently jumped into the abyss of her eyes, and this time when I opened my eyes again, I had already become Seeing Xiao Lulu's appearance, it is probably the reason of "the first time is born and the second time is familiar", right?

Xiao Lulu and Xiao Lulu counted down silently. When the tea cat turned sharply to avoid the swinging stick again, we stretched out our left and right hands respectively, as if there was a mirror between us. Both I and Xiao Lulu summoned the black mist with the posture of pulling out the last bit of strength, but the black mist of the "main body" is indeed much thicker than my fake, and the area is much larger than me.

"Hey! Why are you still in a daze? Don't you want to take revenge for falling for ten minutes!?"

Driven by the mirror master's words, the dark green pupil finally pointed the staff in our direction. At the same time, the two clouds of black mist have been pieced together, forming an entrance that is as long as a person. The tea cat looked at me with worried eyes, and broke into the black mist without hesitation.

Still unable to let go of my hanging heart, I turned my head anxiously, the mirror master stared fiercely, turned his right arm twice, swung his stick out of his hand and flew towards the black cat following us. And the huge vine that pierced the ground and quickly pierced the air knocked away the stick with lightning speed, and the mirror master yelled out the name "Araki", and escaped from the prisoner with the help of his dream maker. Disastrous fate. The black cat and Xue Xueer came to this side of the black mist. The disguise of Xiao Lulu on my body also instantly disintegrated due to the loss of strength and the black mist, and I fell powerlessly into the smell of green grass on my face.

There are endless green grass everywhere. But the sky is still crimson, so this place is still a gap between dreams. It's just that I didn't see any evil spirits, and even the track of the ruler's clock was so blurred that it was almost impossible to recognize. According to this point, this place should be far away from the town, and there will naturally be no evil spirits in places that are inaccessible.

Anyway... finally escaped from that picture scroll of hell. Dominating a war, as I expected before participating, always puts me in danger.

If the dark green pupil and the tea cat invited me at the same time, what would be the result?

I think, the answer will not change. I will not accept the invitation from Molutong, I will still choose the tea cat. Because compared to other dominators, I don't have the desire to directly use the final reward to achieve it. The real reason for me to participate in the domination war is the tea cat besides the guilt. Without the conversation under the stars that day, I wouldn't have participated in the domination wars out of guilt alone. Her appearance is the real "fuse".

I supported the grass behind me, and finally had the strength to sit up reluctantly. Probably because I was overwhelmed by the burden just now, and letting the dreamer stay in the cracks of the dream will continue to consume my energy, so the tea cat left quietly. It really fits the gentleness of the tea cat style... On the other side, Xiao Lulu was lying on the grass with his eyes slightly closed, as if he didn't intend to get up.

Maybe he noticed my gaze, Xiao Lulu frowned and opened his eyes, looking at me without saying a word.

"Hey... why did you participate in the domination war?"

"Why do you ask such a question?"

Xiao Lulu's tone was still a little weak, obviously he did not recover so quickly. However, his eyes obviously dodged. Looking at her expression is definitely not a reason for "using it to escape from the Core Research Association".

"I'm interested... You don't look like the type to participate in a domination war, and you don't seem to be forced to. It's interesting..."

She glanced at me, blinked quickly, her pupils hid in the corner, and her face was inexplicably dyed a cherry red color. The action of biting her lip seemed a little aggrieved.

"You...don't tell others...I...I want to..." She sat up feeling at a loss, and gently put her neck on her neck. "I just... thought it would be cool to be a ruler..."

Her faltering words made me a little confused for a while, and the resulting silence was pressed in my throat and teased quietly, so I finally couldn't help but burst into a "poof" laugh.

"What are you laughing at...! I'm telling you this very seriously!" She puffed up her cheeks in displeasure, and hit my shoulder with a fist, "Hey, Lin— - Encounter -!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore, I won't laugh anymore." I suppressed the urge to laugh, and put on a serious look, "Then what kind of ruler do you want to be?"

"Well...well, I prefer gentle kings," Xiao Lulu's expression made me sure that she really answered seriously, she suddenly stretched out her index finger, and added in a deep tone, "However, You have to show courage at critical times. For example, those who do wrong must be severely punished...!"

"Ah, unexpectedly he is a just king..."

"It's annoying, don't laugh at me anymore!! I knew I wouldn't tell you...Idiot Lin Yu!"

To be honest, it seems that I really can’t be blamed, let Xiao Lulu and the black cat stand together, anyone will think that the black cat has the superior temperament of the ruler.

However, since she is serious... I should also seriously wish her well——"Okay...then hope that Xiao Lulu's Hongye can achieve something." It sounds... There is still inevitably a hint of joking involved....but I have to say, this time I mean the blessings seriously! In the final analysis, there is a huge contrast between this matter itself and her temperament. I can't help but can't accept it.

"Speaking of... where did the black cat go?"

I asked the question as if talking to myself, while looking around. The dizziness still climbed to the back of my head along with the shaking of my head, and it seemed that I would not let it go for the time being. In the distance, the lonely figure of a young girl caught my gaze. I froze for a while, my gaze paused, I stood up straight unsteadily, and walked towards the girl...

While I was walking towards the black cat, Xue Xueer was also walking towards this side. Obviously, when we first met, she wanted me to help her domineeringly, but now that she is relatively familiar with the matter, she gave me a timid look, and she didn't know why she was so embarrassed, "Well...she asked me to help her. Go and see how Lulu is doing... so..."

"There's no need to report this to me."

"Is that so? I'm sorry..."

"No...that's not something to apologize for..."

...

The green grass made the sound of "snapping" by the footsteps stepped on, and the girl sat at the turning point where the grass gradually formed a downhill trend. Just as I was confused and wanted to ask her "what are you looking at here?", I couldn't help being attracted by the dim yellow light spot at the end of her looking direction. It's like looking out of the window through a book rolled into a stick and accidentally catching Chuyang's miniature in the circle of vision, which is both surprising and warm.

Around that point of light, all the blood was swept away by the light it emitted, and behind it was "pure white" that I had never seen in this world.

"I'm a little jealous that you were the first to discover such a beautiful scenery."

I said casually half-jokingly, and lowered my head to take a look at the black cat sitting quietly on the grass, hugging its knees. But my arms couldn't help trembling——her eyes were shining with lonely tears, she was staring fixedly ahead, her left hand held tightly to the clothes, and a few wrinkles formed, just like I was caught by her. Look wring out the dented heart.

"Hey. I can't laugh or cry if you accidentally saw me like this."

The black cat still didn't look at me, but there was a slight emotional upheaval in his voice. There is a clear difference from the usual black cat who can keep calm no matter what happens and do inappropriate things, but I can't say exactly what the difference is. I just think that at this time she may have put down her disguise and sat next to me. The one in front is the real Xiao Luoluo.

"If you eavesdrop on what I'm thinking, I won't let you go."

Her cold tone made me feel a chill. This commanding tone still hasn't changed in the slightest. I quickly raised my hands and shook my head as much as possible to gain confidence.

"I don't just pry into other people's minds when I have nothing to do..." This sentence seemed to be ironic to myself, so I had to add another sentence, "Of course I am referring to the current me."

The black cat glanced at me lightly, with a sly smile in its eyes. But just for a moment, her pupils were filled with bitterness again. Lying silkworm jumped slightly with the movement of squinting, and she looked forward again.

"That dream stealer..." The black cat's speech after a long silence made me focus on her again, her eyes were still trembling, "I'm talking about the child who tried to save me in Xinghai Tavern last time ...What I just said to deal with is his problem."

Her words made me stunned for a while, and then I remembered that there was indeed a strange boy who looked young at that time. At that time, in order to claim credit for his achievements, the invisible man hijacked the black cat who had no extra precautions against the ruler of clock twelve. With the help of my mind-reading me, I also saw the scene where the black cat deliberately avoided the boy in the town and once did something to him.

"His name is Peter.. In the past, he, me, and Lulu were imprisoned in the Core Research Association. He and I were in the same room. We agreed to escape together. At that time, I also regarded him as a The only companion other than Lulu...but when the professor handcuffed us, he took the opportunity to escape alone."

The black cat smiled softly, with helplessness and resentment mixed in his voice. And a tinge of guilt that eludes me.

"Then one day he came to me in a dream...he told me that because he couldn't escape without taking care of us. He said that he understood this at that time...he knew that the agreement to escape together was not feasible Yes, and childish. He participated in the domination war and wanted to use the rewards won by the Dream Thief to help us escape. I actually understand why he escaped alone, but..."

She took a deep breath, and slowly turned her gaze to my side, with a smile on her lips that made people think, "I can't forgive him."

"And then..." I swallowed the depression that blocked my throat and made me breathless, and finally made a sound, "Did you go to see him today?"

"Well. I made a deal with him. From now on, I will never see him again between dreams."

When she said this sentence, her tone paused word by word. I suddenly widened my eyes, but for some reason, the black cat looked at me with raised eyebrows and smiled.

"You don't think I killed him, do you? I did kill a lot of rulers in the dream world, but that was before participating in the war of domination. What's more, no matter how Peter helped me through the most difficult time , I just used my dominance ability to let him withdraw from the domination war. In addition, he admitted that he didn't want to participate in the domination war, maybe he would thank me, right?"

The tone is full of self-sarcasm. The black cat kept the curvature of its mouth, stretched its bent knees, and lay back on the grass pretending to be at ease.

"Hey, you've been keeping Xiao Lulu in front of you all this time, and let us only focus on her outstanding ability. Is it just to hide yourself? Black cat, what is your dominance ability...?"

The black cat glanced at me mysteriously, sighed softly, and hooked its index finger towards me. It always felt like she had unknowingly changed back to her usual appearance. I hesitantly moved my ear to it, secretly preparing to be teased.

"I won't tell you~ I only told one person."

Sure enough, he meant to tease me on purpose. That's right...it's been hidden from us for so long, how could it be so simple to tell me.

"However, I still have to praise you~"

As soon as the words were finished, a tingling sensation hit my ears, and I quickly retracted my head as if shocked by an electric shock. I retreated a long distance before stopping, staring at her in horror and itching.

"It's pure love~ This is just a reward for you to guess that I used Lulu to hide myself~" She licked the corner of her mouth ripplingly, leaned her head down and stared at me, "Just now I heard you ask my sister to participate in the domination war What is the reason for this? I might as well tell you that I came here to become a dream maniac, what do you think?"

My hand, which was carefully touching the ears, stopped for a moment. Her words made me look at her with confusion and depression, as if my whole heart was submerged in the bottom of the sea. This is not a reason for participating that contrasts with her image, it is different from Xiao Lulu. But why take such a thing as the purpose? To become a madman of dreams, what do you want to do...or...

"Actually, it doesn't have to be to become a dream maniac.. Others of the same level should be fine too?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

I didn't expect that I would unintentionally turn my thoughts into words, and I didn't expect that my whispering to myself would be heard by her...

This made me hurriedly put up my hands, and at the same time denied it flatly, "No, nothing, nothing!"

"However, it's not nothing...but there is something I want to tell you and Xiao Lulu." I scratched the hair on my forehead, and the black cat looked at me with concern, "Core Research Association Affected by the geographical location, it has a high synchronization rate with the dream. In other words, what can be done in the dream, the core research association can also do theoretically.”

When I said this, I released the heavy breath that was stagnant in my heart from my mouth, like a drowning person who tried his best to swim from the bottom of the water to the shore with his survival instinct. Immediately I stood up.

"Just try to use lucid dreaming to break the handcuffs that bind you there."

The dim light still makes one's heart involuntarily quiet down. Knowing the fact that Xinghai Tavern is now under the jurisdiction of Clock No. 1, it's almost time for me to go back. I don't know what happened to William and the others in this short hour, and did Su Luoyang find any relevant clues...

"That's right...! Su Ruoyang and the others have escaped from the hands of the evil spirits?" I hurriedly stopped and looked towards the ruler's clock that was faintly visible in the distance, "I still have to check the situation over there." OK."

I step on the soft ground, stand up and approach our clock...

"Hey! Lin Yu, where are you going?"

"I'll go back and check the situation! You can stay here too."

Even if they are allowed to stay here, it is impossible for them to stay, as expected, the voices of them following behind came from behind...

Although I also asked Yin to help watch out if the dream thief took the opportunity to attack the clock and send us a message with his unique magic props in an emergency, but in fact, I was a little worried.

Just now it was okay to talk near the clock, but now at this distance... it is inevitable to be a little worried.
