Nightmare Illustrated Collection Record [Unlimited Stream]

Yin Luming asked tentatively, "Mr. Shen?"

Xiao Shenlou raised his eyes slightly: "Is this my name?"

Yin Luming fell silent—"No, 'Sir' is just a title, and Shen is your surname."

Xiao Shenlou nodded: "That's it."

Then he stopped talking.

Yin Luming looked at Shen Lou's expression, a little unaccustomed to such a cold Shen Lou.

The Shen Lou he knew was a little arrogant, a little black-bellied, always smiling and acting as a riddler casually, it was hard to imagine that Shen Lou had such a cold-faced "childhood" period.

Yin Luming's scalp ached again.

Jingwei pulled his hair back vigorously, reminding him to get out of the water.

Yin Luming had no choice but to walk to the shore.

He turned his head and saw Xiao Shenlou standing there quietly, thought for a moment, and waved to him: "Come here."

Xiao Shenlou—walked ashore without saying a word.

The current state of Shen Lou looks exactly like him, looking at Shen Lou as if looking in a mirror.

Yin Luming - while taking off his clothes and wringing out the water - looked sideways at Xiao Shenlou, slightly puzzled.

Both Shen Lou and Qing Yan said before that Shen Lou's appearance was because he stole Qi Hai's body... Could it be that the fact that he created Shen Lou just now didn't happen in the real history of mythology?

Yin Luming put on his clothes again.

Shen Lou said abruptly: "What are you doing?"

"Wring out the water." Yin Luming said, "It's easy to catch cold in wet clothes."

Xiao Shenlou tilted his head, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes: "What is catching a cold?"

"It's just sickness. If you get very sick, you might die."

Xiao Shenlou frowned, as if he still didn't quite understand what Yin Luming meant.

Yin Luming looked at the appearance of Xiao Shenlou, and a trace of regret flashed in his heart—if only his illustration book was there now, he could use Lizi’s absolute memory to record the current Shenlou, and play it back to Da Shenlou floor to see.

Thinking of the illustrated book, Yin Luming got down to business: "Do you still remember where you came from?"

"remember."

As soon as Yin Luming smiled, he saw Xiao Shenlou pointing to Hongshui, "There."

"Before there?"

"do not remember."

Yin Luming squatted down, picked up a branch and drew a simple square shape: "Do you know where a book like this is?"

Shen Lou also knelt down, looked at it carefully for a while, then continued to shake his head: "I don't know."

Yin Luming was helpless: "What do you remember?"

This guy, before entering the dream, promised him that "it's all about me", but after entering this dream, the one who lost his memory was the one he thought was the most reliable.

Xiao Shenlou tilted his head: "I remember you."

Yin Luming - startled.

"You are Yin Luming."

Yin Luming blinked: "What else?"

Xiao Shenlou thought for a while, and continued: "You are someone who can be absolutely trusted."

Yin Luming was slightly startled, looking at Xiao Shenlou quietly.

"You lose your temper when you don't sleep well;

"You don't like being bitten on the neck;

"You like to punish people to face the wall when you are angry..."

Xiao Shenlou finally said, "No more."

Yin Luming "puchi"—laughed, and shook his head: "Don't remember what should be, but remember clearly what is not important."

Even though he said that, the smile on the corner of his mouth never fell.

Just when he was about to ask Shen Lou what he still remembered, he suddenly felt the ground tremble, as if a strong earthquake was happening!

The wind suddenly blows!

Yin Luming turned his head to look where the wind was blowing.

The colorful giant fish was roaring and flying towards him, with its big, stinky mouth opened in the air.

This gust of wind seemed to be just the exhalation of the giant fish before inhaling forcefully!

When it starts to inhale, this time there will be no girly fox to save Yin Lumen!

Yin Luming could feel that this colorful fish was bound to win him, and the more critical he was, the clearer his head became, he turned to Shen Lou and said, "Let's go into the water."

Since you can use Hongshui to create sunken buildings, you can also use Hongshui to create other things!

However, Xiao Shenlou did not move.

He raised his head, looked at the terrifying giant fish that covered the entire sky, slowly stretched out his chubby hand, and said with a single word:

"I remembered - something.

"You can't let Yin Luming get hurt.

"so……"

Behind him, the blue flood that had been rippling by the strong wind trembled suddenly, then rose into the sky as if being summoned, condensed into one after another with sharp water blades, and rushed fiercely towards the giant fish in the sky over!

Within Yin Luming's field of vision, countless light blue water blades were more brilliant than meteor showers, rising into the sky like fireworks, and finally gathered on the fish.

The giant fish, which was bigger than a mountain, desperately struggled to retreat, but it couldn't keep up with the speed of the water blade. In the blink of an eye, it was completely pierced by the water blade!

The big fish rolled its belly a few times in the sky and fell completely silent.

Then its body gradually became transparent, completely dissipating in a piece of blue light.

Yin Luming looked at the sky in surprise.

Compared with the big Shenlou who used the light blade, the shot of the small Shenlou with the water blade is completely different.

After killing the big fish, Xiao Shenlou's expression remained the same indifferent, without any change, he just turned his head and said to Yin Luming, "Don't be afraid."

Yin Luming glanced sideways at him, and suddenly laughed: "I'm not afraid."

He stretched out his hand towards Shen Lou.

Xiao Shenlou also stretched out his hand without knowing why.

Yin Luming held his hand, and his tone became soft unconsciously: "Come with me."

Xiao Shenlou nodded and said without hesitation: "Okay."

……

Two children who seemed to be only five years old were walking by the river in primitive times. According to normal circumstances, they should have added a meal to the nearby beasts; The animal is dry, and then the fire is turned on to start roasting.

Although it was a phantom born from water, Shen Lou could turn it into a fire at any time if he wanted to, which disappointed Yin Luming who was expecting Shen Lou to draw out the fire of anger and regret.

The section of Tu Shan was cut off out of thin air - the topography of the layer was easily recognizable, and they headed towards Tu Shan.

On the way, Yin Luming noticed that real creatures appeared in the flood waters.

It's not a translucent illusory phantom, but a real aquatic animal like that giant fish.

It's just that their shapes are all kinds of strange. Some fish have an octopus body under their heads, and some crabs have two bird wings on their claws... It's like a child's graffiti.

Xiao Shenlou noticed Yin Luming's gaze: "Want to eat?"

"No." Yin Luming shook his head, "Do you know where those...um, fishes come from?"

He didn't expect Shen Lou to provide an answer at first, but he didn't expect Shen Lou to reply quickly: "I imagined it."

"Who fantasized?"

"A lot." Xiao Shenlou pointed to the blue floods indifferently, "The sea water of the Sea of ​​Nothingness will absorb all imaginations and condense them into shapes, and there will inevitably be mixtures in the middle."

Yin Luming frowned: "What is the Sea of ​​Nothingness?"

Not long after entering the Nightmare game, Shen Lou mentioned the Sea of ​​Nothingness several times.But at that time, Yin Luming thought that the Sea of ​​Nothingness was just a description of the void beyond the dreamland; looking at the current Hong Haishui, is there really an ocean of the Sea of ​​Nothingness?

"The sea of ​​nothingness is everything beyond the barriers of the world." Xiao Shenlou said without thinking, "All worlds are born from the sea of ​​nothingness, and will eventually return to the sea of ​​nothingness. There are no real rules in the sea of ​​nothingness , and there is no concept of time,—everything is uncertain,—everything has countless possibilities, which is completely opposite to the real world.”

Yin Luming frowned as he watched a shrimp with insect wings fly up from the flood and then jumped into the water.

He thought of the chaos before Pan Gu created the world in Chinese mythology.

Not only Chinese mythology, Greek mythology, Nordic mythology and other civilizations have descriptions of chaos, which sounds very similar to the sea of ​​nothingness.

Yin Luming asked: "Why does the water from the sea of ​​nothingness enter the real world?"

"I don't know." Xiao Shenlou shook his head, "The more perfect the rules of reality are, the thicker the world's barriers will be. Only a new world with imperfect rules will be easily crushed by the waves of the sea of ​​nothingness."

Yin Luming raised his head and looked at the great waterfall that was always hanging high in the sky: "What about the influence of external forces?"

"external force?"

"Creatures in the sea of ​​nothingness—are there any?"

Shen Lou frowned: "Yes, but the 'creatures' in the sea of ​​nothingness are different from the 'creatures' you understand in the real world, they are in a different dimension from the real world, and they are unknowable and undisputable to the real world exist—and they have no access to the real world."

"That big fish." Yin Luming watched the giant fish fly out of the big waterfall with his own eyes, "What will happen if it is forced into the real world?"

"You can't enter." Xiao Shenlou insisted, "Just like you can't enter the world in the mirror. You can only make your shadow reflected in the mirror, but at that time your shadow has nothing to do with you. After the 'creatures' are projected into the real world, those projections will adapt to the rules of the real world, have entities, and have their own thinking and ideas."

It was the first time Yin Luming knew about this, and his eyes fell on Xiao Shenlou.

Little Shen Lou is Shen Lou who entered this dream together with him, so what he is talking about is Shen Lou's understanding of this world.

Although Yin Luming looked at the little Shenlou he had created, but...

Yin Luming thought for a while, but asked directly: "Are you the projection of a creature from the Sea of ​​Nothingness?"

Xiao Shenlou was stunned for a moment, his eyes drooped slightly, and he shook his head: "I don't know—I shouldn't know either."

"why?"

"Do you think that you are a projection of other existences in the real world?" Xiao Shenlou said indifferently, "—ordinary people don't think like this and dare not think like this, because—once you feel that you are just a projection, everything in life would become meaningless.”

Yin Luming touched his chin lightly: "Not necessarily."

Xiao Shenlou looked at him in confusion.

"Whether I am a real person in the real world or a projection of something in the sea of ​​nothingness, I am always myself, and only I can decide what I become."

Xiao Shenlou stared at him blankly, then lowered his head after a while: "I don't understand."

Seeing that Yin Luming was still going to speak, Xiao Shenlou raised his head and insisted very stubbornly, "I am the phantom you created, there is no doubt about it."

Yin Luming had already guessed Xiao Shenlou's identity, but he didn't expose him, and changed the topic: "Why do these imaginary creatures in the sea start to have entities?"

"A change in imagination." Xiao Shenlou resumed his previous expressionless face. "In the past, the illusory creatures in many people's imaginations should be in a translucent state. Later, as the imagination gradually became more detailed and gradually changed, the sea of ​​nothingness absorbed The content of the imagination fills the interior of the conjured thing."

Yin Luming nodded: "That is to say, they are no longer phantoms, but have real entities."

Shen Lou nodded.

Yin Luming looked up at the sky again: "In this case, human fantasy about nature and myths should be born soon."

Myths and stories all come from the fear and worship of nature by the entire human group.

If the Great Falls did not appear, then those myths would only change and disappear from generation to generation of civilizations, and only vague legends would remain in the end; but the sea water of the sea of ​​nothingness that can turn all imagination into reality means that The patron saints and saviors that the tribe prays for will gradually change from nothingness to reality.

Now the biggest wish of all creatures in the world, including human beings, must be to solve the cataract and flood.

If the sea water of the Sea of ​​Nothingness can really turn people's wishes into reality, then Nu Wa should have appeared and acted soon.

Yin Luming turned his head and said, "When Nuwa closes the gap in the wall of the world, and Dayu controls the water, the world will be able to restore peace."

Xiao Shenlou shook his head: "It's not that simple. The transformation of the world by the void sea is irreversible."

He pointed to the place where the big waterfall fell in the distance - the huge crater had been smashed out by the continuously gushing sea water, and it had completely turned into an ocean.

"On the surface of the sea of ​​nothingness, there are only corners, and in the depths there are larger and more phantoms."

Yin Luming frowned.

According to myths and legends, Dayu did encounter obstacles from many monsters when he was controlling the water.

Xiao Shenlou turned his head to look at Yin Luming, and whispered softly: "One more thing, I don't know if you have guessed it."

"what?"

"It is not only the fantasy of the original life in your world that will be absorbed by the sea water of the sea of ​​nothingness." Xiao Shenlou said literally, "Those lives that you call illusory, they can also fantasize, and they will also be absorbed by the sea of ​​nothingness." The sea becomes reality."

Even being born in the water of the void sea, they are more likely to turn fantasies into reality.And they have no interest in land, and I'm afraid they would rather the sea continue to flood and submerge the whole world.

Yin Luming realized the seriousness - he couldn't wait for Nuwa to appear.

……

Even though the little Shenlou lost the memory of the big Shenlou, Yin Luming still believed that Shenlou would not make mistakes in this knowledge.

He quickened his pace and returned to Tushan.

Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Xiao Shenlou created a big bird with the sea water of the void, and flew them directly to Tu Shan.

When Yin Luming returned to Tushan, he almost frightened Si Wenming and Nujiao.

The phantom created by Shen Lou has the same real entity as the fish, making the two tribes who have already started to migrate here think that the enemy is coming, and when Yin Luming and Shen Lou get off the bird's back together It was only when the misunderstanding was barely resolved.

Looking at Shen Lou who looked like Yin Luming, Si Wenming was so shocked beyond words.

Yin Luming introduced Shen Lou's identity as the phantom he created, quickly skipped it, and simply modified the information Shen Lou told him into a way that people of this era can understand and told Si Wenming.

Si Wenming—while heating him hot water—meeted Nvjiao’s eyes, and said in surprise, “You mean, as long as we try to solve the great flood, the great flood will disappear by itself?”

"No, the point is to solve the big waterfall in the sky." Yin Luming said, "There's a hole in the sky, and the hole has to be blocked."

"I know this too." Si Wenming said angrily, "The question is how to do it?"

Yin Luming had already thought about it before: "Worship."

"Ok?"

"Aren't there many worshiped gods or totems in the tribe? Pray to them and pray that they can save the world."

Si Wenming looked at Yin Luming like a fool.

Nvjiao came in with a handkerchief: "I still have a linen towel here, let's use it first."

Then he said with a smile, "Although it is our tradition to worship totems, the survival of the tribe is not the salvation of the gods, but our own fists."

Yin Luming never imagined that he, who was brought up with a materialistic education, would come to teach people in primitive society to worship nature.

But with his current size, he couldn't do more, so he could only patiently say: "Try it? After all, the Great Flood can create phantoms..."

Si Wenming looked at him seriously for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing: "That's right, you can fantasize so much at such a young age! Hurry up and take a hot bath and sleep well."

Yin Luming: "..."

After all calculations, forget that he is only a child about five years old now, not only can't do anything, he doesn't even have the right to speak.

Si Wenming-tucked him under his arm: "If you don't obey me, I won't take you out from now on."

Yin Luming sighed silently, and turned his head to meet Shang Shenlou's slightly confused eyes.

Shen Lou looked at how Yin Luming was being held under Si Wenming's armpit, and tilted his head: "You like this?"

Yin Luming: "...I don't like it."

"That……"

"Because I can't beat him."

Si Wenming laughed "haha" and slapped Yin Lumeng's ass with a "slap": "Little brat, how old do you want to beat your father? Wait another ten years!"

He turned his head and said to Shen Lou again, "Since you were created by Qi Hai, you are also my son, remember to be obedient at home, and don't go out to wander around! Otherwise, be careful and I will spank your ass!"

Xiao Shenlou nodded thoughtfully: "If you don't obey, you will be spanked."

Yin Luming: "..."

Don't teach his family Shen Lou strange things.

……

Although Si Wenming didn't quite believe Yin Luming's words at first, but he couldn't stand Yin Lumeng repeating more, and Si Wenming joined forces with the Tushan tribe where Nvjiao belonged to, and sent a message to all the tribes he knew, asking them to pick up the gods again. ritual of worship.

When Si Wenming was grilling meat, he talked with Yin Luming about the previous god worship ceremony: "Before, the sacrifices were promoted by the emperor city and the witches, and we were required to offer food, mulberry, silk, etc. to the gods and the witches. After the great flood came, most of the altars of the witches were flooded, so no one did this anymore.”

Yin Luming was keenly aware of the slight disdain in Si Wenming's tone, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You don't like offering sacrifices?"

"Call me father!" Si Wenming patted Yin Luming on the head, and then laughed, "It's not that I don't like it... well, I just don't like it. The people of the tribe worked so hard to plant and weave it. Things, to be enshrined to those gods who are useless and do not exist at all? So far, the witches have said nicely that the gods will protect us, and when the flood comes, they will run faster than the other."

Yin Luming looked at Si Wenming in surprise.

Under certain circumstances, religion is a means for the upper class to exploit the lower class. Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Si Wenming has already seen through this point.

"Then why agree now?"

"It seems useful now." Si Wenming handed a piece of barbecue to Yin Luming, "hehe" - smiled, "Since it's useful, let's use it."

Yin Luming took it and handed it to Shen Lou first.

Xiao Shenlou shook his head: "I don't need to eat."

"Try it."

Xiao Shenlou lowered his head and took a bite.

Si Wenming raised his eyebrows childishly: "How about it, is it delicious?"

Xiao Shenlou swallowed: "What is delicious?"

Yin Luming thought for a while and said, "I'm happy when I eat."

Xiao Shenlou thought for a while, then nodded: "Happy."

Yin Luming was a little skeptical, leaned over and took a bite of the barbecue in Shen Lou's hand - almost spat it out.

He wiped his mouth helplessly: "Father, you forgot to put salt."

Si Wenming said "Ah", and went to get the rock salt with a smile: "The chat was so happy that I forgot."

Yin Luming turned his head and looked at Xiao Shenlou again: "Are you happy to eat this?"

Xiao Shenlou said: "You gave it to me, so I'm happy."

Yin Luming paused, the corners of his mouth curled, and then he shook his head: "I actually miss you a little bit, who knows how to beat around the bush."

Xiao Shenlou said, "Si Wenming like that?"

Yin Luming glanced at Si Wenming, who was smilingly rubbing rock salt on the barbecue, and was startled.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Shenlou who had always had a stern face, and suddenly recalled several times in his head what he had heard from other people:

——"You are a bit like Shen Lou. I mean you at night."

Looking at it now, Xiao Shenlou's indifferent look is really a bit like the stern look of him who can't sleep well at night.

And in his previous life, Qihai, who was raised by Si Wenming, should have inherited a personality similar to Si Wenming's, cheerful but slightly arrogant, likes to talk around the bush, and will lose the chain at critical times.

Yin Luming looked at Si Wenming and gently rubbed the bridge of his nose.

I really don't want to admit that I was such a person in my previous life.

I remember Shen Lou said that his personality was gradually formed after he snatched Qi Hai's body in the nightmare game, and he was obviously also influenced by Qi Hai's body.

Yin Luming glanced at Shen Lou who was concentrating on eating meat without salt with his head down, his eyes dimmed slightly.

Although Shen Lou lost his memory, he was still the Shen Lou who had a good impression of him; he was also Yin Luming who had established a relationship with Shen Lou.

But in the real Qihai's previous life, Qihai and Shen Lou were very strange to each other.

At that time, would he and him get along so intimately?Or are they cautiously testing each other out like he just entered the nightmare game?

Thinking of the Nightmare game, whether it is player Ling or Shen Lou, they all call each other their endless enemies... I am afraid the result is not very satisfactory.

Yin Luming sighed softly, and suddenly stretched out his hand to rub Xiao Shenlou's head.

Xiao Shenlou looked up in confusion.

Yin Luming laughed: "It's okay. I'll take you to sleep after eating."

They didn't get along well in the previous life, at least this time they can make up for it.
