heavy fog

Wen Luan "woke up".

It was pitch black, and the monotonous sound of water made the place as quiet as a prison.

Wen Luan lowered his head, and found that he couldn't see his feet, he became a shapeless mist, which made him very uncomfortable.The black water waves on the ground slowly formed a vortex, and then rolled up, outlining the human appearance.

Wen Luan stretched out his hand to stroke his messy hair, his fingers still had transparent outlines.

— What a wonderful experience, he thought lazily.

This should be the tapir's resting place, the hiding place found in the crevices of dreams, and has nothing to do with Wen Luan's own consciousness. Except when the tapir is feasting, it usually likes to hide.After Wen Luan fell asleep, his consciousness also came to such a place.

Tapirs don't have the ability of succubi, so they can't make this seemingly bad environment better.

Wen Luan looked at the black water under his feet with disgust, the muddy color made him feel very uncomfortable.

"What are you doing? How did you construct the dream, and the gaps are full of such things?" Wen Luan muttered.

At this time, a light spot suddenly appeared, and then extended down into a long and thin crack, and finally it was pushed open like a door, and a certain figure appeared from behind the door.

"A qualified tenant should not make irresponsible remarks to the landlord, especially if the landlord also provides you with board and lodging."

Wen Luan stared at Cyrus who came in dumbfounded, and was extremely embarrassed by this bizarre metaphor.

Soon, Wen Luan, who recalled what happened to them before, stood up angrily, and said with a sneer, "After you lit the fire and turned around and left, you still have the guts to appear in front of me?"

"why not?"

Cyrus said calmly, this kind of demeanor made Wen Luan want to grit his teeth even more.

"Then, Ellen, who has confirmed the 'lover relationship', when I am unable to move—let me remind you that the serious injury was caused by your mecha, answer me, where is your 'lover' obligation?" Wen Luan froze his head. Halo, questioning the other party when he catches the fault, completely ignoring his own weakness.

"There is another adjective in front of our relationship, 'secret' lover." Cyrus emphasized a certain word.

Wen Luan sneered and said, "The secret relationship is only for the Dark Council! Are you trying to say that you are talking to me... Cough, at that time, people from the Dark Council suddenly came to negotiate with you?"

This is the fact, but seeing Wen Luan's expression, Cyrus decided to keep silent.

He changed the method, full of hints, meaning looking at Wen Luan's chest, waist, and——

"I thought it was me who should be angry when I was disturbed at that time, not you." Cyrus said implicitly.

Wen Luan was very reluctant to be below.

Thinking of this, Wen Luan became discouraged, frowned and muttered: "Then you should at least think about whether I can solve the... problem by myself." I can't even move my hands, how can I solve the physiological impulse?

"The negotiations in the Dark Council are so urgent? What if you are the one who has the upper hand, so what if it's half a day late?" Wen Luan continued to question, crossing his arms in anger.

Cyrus looked at Wen Luan strangely.

There was nothing wrong with these words, but Wen Luan stood opposite and asked angrily, but there was a different feeling.It's as if someone close is complaining that his position isn't important enough.

"Huh?" Wen Luan looked at Cyrus in doubt, because the other party hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Our vision is too narrow." Cyrus said to himself.

"What?" Wen Luan was even more confused.

"Is the Dark Council our enemy?"

"Of course not." Wen Luan snorted, "It can only be regarded as a group of creatures that live in the house, have tenacious vitality, are good at concealment, and are difficult to destroy and expel—or can we call them cockroaches?"

"Yeah, the enemies are usually outside the house."

Suddenly something extra appeared in Cyrus' hand, and he threw it to Wen Luan, who caught it inexplicably.

"Snapped."

The item passed through the back of Wen Luan's hand and fell into the black water.

Wen Luan's head was full of black lines, thinking that this was not his real body.

——Could it be that his strength is so much different from that of Cyrus?Wen Luan was struggling to think, no, he wants to make up for the shortcoming of getting closer!

After calming down, Wen Luan carefully looked at the thing lying in the water. This made him even more entangled, because it was a very inconspicuous broken box, sinking slowly, emitting a faint white light after a while. Wen Luan disappeared before his eyes.

"..."

Wen Luan looked at the big hole in front of him depressedly.

That's right, it's a hole, a hole corroded by the box in this pitch-black space.The box fell out of the hole, and Wen Luan looked down, just in time to see the casino room where he was temporarily staying. The box happened to fall on top of the four-poster bed, and bounced with the thick flannel, as if stuck in a quagmire , and continued to sink obliquely.

"boom."

The second time it rang, the box had already rolled onto the bed, and the top of the bed was gone.

Seeing that the bed was also crooked, Wen Luan let out a scream, and without thinking, he tore open the crack like a piece of waste paper, and before he jumped down, he felt a sudden increase in consciousness.

Then there was the pain from the joint wound, and Wen Luan's "body" lying on the bed came back to consciousness, completely awake.

The box fell next to him, the ornate bed turned into a hard composite metal panel, the blanket was gone, the room's furnishings were also disappearing, the floor was black, the walls were frames filled with insulating materials, The clothes in the closet fell all over the floor with a clatter, and the vase turned into an ugly iron cup with a dead branch stuck in it.

"Wait, I didn't eat it! I didn't do it!" Wen Luan blurted out after recovering.

"puff."

"What are you laughing at?" Wen Luan roared angrily, he wanted to grab the box that caused trouble, but he couldn't move his hands and feet.

A hand reached out and gently covered the lid of the box.The box disappeared immediately.

"What exactly is this?" Wen Luan asked suspiciously.

Cyrus sat on the edge of the bed, his movements were similar to those of five days ago, but then it was a comfortable and gorgeous four-poster bed, spacious and soft, and now it is so narrow that it can only accommodate two people.

The bodies are inevitably close together, and the touch through the cloth is very subtle.

After Wen Luan fell asleep, the embarrassment subsided, and he asked angrily, "I need a reasonable explanation."

Cyrus casually adjusted the buttons on the cloak, and replied: "As you can see, this thing destroyed the entrance of the Deep Blue Star's dream, so I left in a hurry."

Wen Luan frowned, recalling the only experience of escaping from Deep Blue Star: "Is the civilian interstellar port next to the ice field the entrance to the dreamland?"

Cyrus nodded.

"Brought in... by a spaceship?" Wen Luan quickly grasped the point, eyes full of surprise: "This is impossible, there has never been an item that can destroy dreams."

Of course the tapir would be terrified. Dreams are his food and a stable source of food.

Even a bully who bullies the chef will not be happy that others have the ability to bully the chef!Bullies or something, one is enough.There can be more chefs, but there must be no more bullies... Wait, what are these, Wen Luan shook his head, wondering whether to laugh or cry.

"Where did you get it, and it was unintentionally transported into Deep Blue Star as cargo? Or?" At the end, Wen Luan had slowed down his voice, and his expression became serious.

This is not a joke, Wen Luan doesn't care what happens to the deep blue star, if the dream disappears, he will have to flee with Cyrus in a hurry, only Seir is interested in the future of interstellar wandering.

"I'm glad you discovered the seriousness of the problem."

"Stop talking nonsense, how many boxes of this kind have you found?"

"How many? How many boxes should you ask—"

"What? Ouch!"

Wen Luan wanted to stand up in a hurry, but his hands and feet didn't cooperate, and the pain caused him to roll his eyes.

"It's just an interstellar spaceship. The other dozen were found by Beret at the deep blue star space checkpoint, but they were not allowed to enter the port. It's hard to predict how many of these items are inside." Cyrus seemed to be too warm. Luan was not frightened enough, and continued to reveal the shocking inside story.

"Who wants to deal with you like this?" Wen Luan was in a daze.

"Good question, I want to know too." Cyrus replied, "The Nightmare has only one enemy, and that is you."

"...I swear tapirs have no friends." Wen Luan said immediately.

The two looked at each other, and suddenly felt that the conversation was a bit ridiculous.

The old enemy is the person who knows you best.The Nightmare was so embarrassingly chased by the tapir. If there were other enemies, the tapir would definitely be the first to discover it. Similarly, if the tapir had an accomplice—is that okay? !

Where did this enemy who wanted to harm the succubus come from?Could it be the space monster next door to the Milky Way, N million light-years away?

Wen Luan couldn't help laughing, because he thought of Godzilla.

The American movie Godzilla is quite famous. Wen Luan also watched some original Godzilla movies (such as Ultraman) after that. What to play in the video room in the town depends on the boss's preferences. Those who want to pass the time have no choice. of.

So the monster from the outer universe, this hypothesis is really funny.

Cyrus stared at Wen Luan unhappily, and the latter laughed harder.

"I spent five days studying this kind of box carefully. After destroying most of it, I have figured out its structure. The effect is stronger after the box is opened, but humans can't do this. The box cover It is a one-off, and it needs a strong force to destroy it." Cyrus knew that Wen Luan couldn't understand such complicated academic terms, so he tried to explain it simply, "It's very ordinary, mainly a wonderful circulatory system that stores energy. The mysterious thing is The kind of energy that can destroy dreams."

During the research process, Cyrus almost destroyed his laboratory at the Deep Blue Star Military Weapons Research Institute a hundred times. Fortunately, the dream repair function is powerful, and he has enough power to squander this time.

"I don't feel any power." Wen Luan shook his head, in fact, the box passed through his hand directly.

Cyrus was silent for half a minute.

Then everything in the room began to change, and the bustling and busy port hall appeared in front of Wen Luan, like a memory replay.In front of the bed was Cyrus and the Great Elder who were talking five days ago.

Soon the scene disappeared, and it turned into a conversation between John and the black cat.

"It's a pity...the enemy came here for the 'Dream Demon'!" The black cat's voice was blurred, and all the images behind it disappeared, and the room returned to the original comfortable and luxurious guest room.

Wen Luan was already dumbfounded.

Devil party?secret party?The history of the split of the Dark Parliament?Another group of magical creatures that rushed over to share a piece of the pie after the succubus awakened?It's amazing.

"Wait, if the Demon Party also wants the right to live in the dream, why destroy the dream? Could it be to show you their ability, which is too stupid!" Wen Luan found doubts.

"I have already had a second conversation with the Dark Council, and they said that the Dark Blue Star Dreamland is not to the liking of the Demon Party." Cyrus frowned, and picked a suitable word, "The dark creatures who wanton indulgence are more willing to appear A living hell."

"Get lost, are there any humans willing to come in?" Wen Luan cursed.

Cyrus said nothing.

Wen Luan continued to curse in a low voice, when suddenly he thought of something, he raised his head and met Cyrus' deep golden pupils, his gaze had a deep meaning.

They opened their mouths silently and said one word at the same time:

"Awakening."

The Dark Council has regarded the Deep Blue Star as its headquarters for a long time. If the Demon Party really has the subversive power that the Great Elder said, and would like to occupy the dreamland, why has there been no movement for 2000 years?

"I'm assuming that there is a mysterious guy who is very interested in you." Wen Luan looked at Cyrus jokingly, squinting his eyes and said, "He can create a box that destroys dreams, he is not a demon, let alone darkness Biological, but very strong—no doubt! He is currently cooperating with the traitors of the Dark Council, and with this help, the Demon Party dares to go to war."

Cyrus clapped his palms lightly, nodded and said:

"Bringing this kind of box in is a condition agreed by the Devil Party."

"I'm afraid it's more than that, I guess it also includes helping to capture you alive." Wen Luan continued to stare at Cyrus with a strange look, and smiled lazily, "The tapir in the east has been missing for 2000 years, it's hard to imagine that someone else destroyed the dream to catch me, the goal Only the 'awakened succubus'."

Cyrus was not annoyed at all, and agreed with his good temper: "Yes, and only the 'Succubus' is the target, and 'Ellen' is not at all. This is the reason why Deep Blue Star has never encountered a crisis before."

Wen Luan laughed out loud.

He smiled and said, "Inkabas, who has become the target of the mysterious organization, how do you feel now?"

Cyrus bowed his head very cooperatively, and spoke earnestly: "I'm very surprised, at least I didn't realize that I have such great value."

Wen Luan stopped smiling.

——That's right, what is the mysterious enemy going to do to catch the awakened succubi?

Even if it is a creature that also eats dreams, why does it have to wait for the dream monster to awaken?In fact, the most powerful moment is after the succubus awakens. The succubus does not have a real body, it is an existence of nothingness, and it cannot be eaten.

"Like me, have you taken a fancy to your appearance?" Wen Luan teased.

"The succubus doesn't look like this every time." Cyrus said expressionlessly.

Wen Luan said helplessly, "Then do you know what treasure, what important secret?"

Cyrus shook his head slowly.

"So?" Wen Luan rolled his eyes, "I don't understand this, did they arrest you just to put you in the zoo?"

"There must be a place for you in the zoo." Cyrus did not show weakness.

"Can I apply for a cage?"

"..."
