They all call me the Outer God

Both men and women have unnatural smiles on their faces when talking about their beliefs. If I have to describe it, it is that they have abnormal feelings towards the spider god who is covered in black hair and has a human face. The love that should be there.

Riya couldn't quite understand who started this phenomenon.

If they had really seen the true form of the Bridge of Nightmares, they would never be like this again...

Many people talk about how much they love those beings, but most of the time their beliefs are not pious. Once the beings they believe in truly come, these people must be the ones who run away the fastest.

Just like now, most of the people inside have been tricked into joining the religion, and they still look innocent and don't know that they have been betrayed by the people in the church, and they will all be sacrificed to the Bridge of Nightmares tonight.

It's possible that once they fall asleep tonight, they will never wake up again.

It's one thing to say it out loud that you're willing to die for your gods, but when it comes to reality, many people can't do it.

"Maybe the brainwashing is not successful enough..."

Riya sat in a wheelchair and listened to the believers introducing him to the Church of Nightmare, and also held a serious exorcism ceremony. Although it was of no use, he still couldn't bear to brush off their good intentions.

"In praise of nightmares."

He and everyone recited His name toward a spider pattern on the wall, and then someone gave Riya a small gift, which was a spider doll, only the size of a palm.

It is said that every time people come to the meeting, they can receive different things. Before, it was fruit, and before that, it was turkey eggs. In order to get people to participate in the church's team building, their organizers also took great pains.

"We believe that dreams are the best manifestation of wishes, and Madam will eat all nightmares and fulfill our dream wishes."

"He will appear in dreams in the most beautiful posture in a person's impression. The image is not fixed, but the image that appears every time is a charming woman, and He also prefers female believers..."

Riya interrupted them: "There are quite a few men among you."

"What is this? Gentlemen are always attracted to beautiful women of the opposite sex. They said it when I joined the church. Madam Nightmare is an existence that no man can resist. As long as I meet her, I will die without regrets. ”

Now Riya probably understood that the images of many gods do not need to be very specific. They are more like symbols, and their images and deeds are allowed to be compiled by believers.

Of course, it may also be related to the story written by Falmanf. After all, his book mentioned that there is a god in the place that connects dreams and reality. Now I think this god is the Bridge of Nightmares.

"So that's it." Riya pondered for a moment. Next, he witnessed the daily team building of believers. A group of people danced in a circle around the statue, chanting the names of nightmares while dancing.

Riya's legs and feet are now inconvenient, so even if he had convenience, he would not jump with those people. Who knows, these people tried to surround him in a circle on the grounds of exorcism.

To be honest, this was the first time he felt restrained. That group of people were so noisy. If he didn't know they were an underground church, Riya would have thought this was an activity thought up by some company's boss.

"Maybe that's all they can come up with."

When he was still an employee before Riya time traveled, he was too lazy to participate in the company's team building. Those things deprived him of the few vacations he had, so as soon as he was promoted, he tried to find a way to put his former superior in jail.

Since then, the company's team building has never been held on holidays.

The current atmosphere reminded him of the old days, when everyone could be together and scold the boss without any worries...

Riya's mind wandered. He shook his head and looked at the people around him again. At a certain moment, he saw all those people disappear, replaced by a huge extraordinary creature that was half human and half spider.

But the next second, the illusion disappeared, and those people were still normal people.

"There seems to be something wrong. I shouldn't be hallucinating -"

Riya suddenly became alert, and the cheers of the people around her seemed to become a curse that was hard to hear.

"Is it the sequelae of excessive use of extraordinary abilities, or is it another reason?"

He can't recover for the time being, but this doesn't mean that Riya has lost the ability to protect himself. If he wants to, Shivall can still destroy this place in an instant.

Whether it's an illusion or not, I'm afraid we can only see the truth at night.

Riya took a deep breath and felt her flesh and blood that began to recover at an extremely slow speed.

"In praise of nightmares."

…

Night comes quickly.

The believers were all even more excited than after taking a shot of chicken blood. They lay twisted on the ground, and a huge spider-shaped sacrificial array was drawn on the ground.

“Here we can have close contact with Him, let alone dream.”

"I have a hunch that I will definitely dream about Him tonight."

"Come on, any day you don't say this, if you don't do it today, I will stuff the bread through your nostrils."

"Aren't you disgusting? It's time to go to bed, don't talk."

Then everyone fell silent.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes passed...

They still didn't fall asleep.

"..."

"What's going on? Why can't I sleep?"

Some people sat up in surprise, and then looked at the people around them. Those people also sat up quickly, looking left and right in disbelief.

The only person who really slept was Ria in the corner. He lowered his head and put his hat on his legs and slept soundly.

There was a reason why everyone couldn't sleep. While they were dancing, Ria paid them for dancing at the cost of being awake.

In other words, it was impossible for everyone to fall asleep tonight, and once tonight passed, the content of the sacrifice would not take effect.

Of course, as the one who substituted for the dream, Ria would see the Nightmare Bridge and become His sacrifice.

While everyone was still puzzled, they looked at the statues and sacrificial arrays inside the church with more and more strange eyes.

"For the sake of trade, we have to leave here. I suddenly feel that it's a bit strange to believe in spiders."

As they said, they fled from here.

After these people left, countless tentacles appeared from the corners and closed the place from the inside to prevent anyone from suddenly disturbing Ria's sleep.

...

Above the sky, the red moon was hanging high.

Countless residents of different shapes came and went in the town where they lived. Suddenly, some colorful and uncomfortable colors appeared on the ground, and disappeared quickly like smoke.

In a certain building, a group of people held hands and kept turning in circles. These people were sickly white, with loose skin and no clothes on.

Suddenly, they stretched out their hands to tear the skin on their bodies, and countless spiders crawled out from behind the skin and rushed out of the building.

They talked to each other in their own unique way, making a "hissing" sound.

[He is coming]

[He has awakened here]

[Who will stabilize Him and don't let Him contact the Spider God]

[It seems to be a step late]

[...]

[Why do I smell the smell of crawling chaos...]

[You are crazy, dare to mention Him here - there are too many of His believers here, don't let them contact! ]

These spiders climbed everywhere, warning the residents to inform them immediately if they found someone wrong.

However, when a spider climbed into a building and was about to see if there was anyone inside, there was a sound of someone coming down the stairs.

It looked up in disbelief, and the figure of that person was reflected in its eight dark eyes.

It saw a young man with a cane standing on a high place looking down at it, and then walked down the stairs step by step.

The young man's movements were neither fast nor slow, and could even be called polite, but every time he moved, the spider's body would tremble.

Fortunately, the man did not walk towards it, but walked to the table beside him after going down the stairs and picked up an open magazine from above.

"The text on it does not belong to Enderes, but the building is exactly the same as Enderes."

Riya discovered just now that the place he was in was simply a replica of Burgess Town. If it weren't for the abnormal number of extraordinary creatures outside the window, he would have thought he was still in the original town.

Not long ago, he fell into a dream, and through the sacrifice of his believers, he successfully saw the existence called "Nightmare Bridge" by the believers.

It's just that the place where the Nightmare Bridge appeared was still Riya's own dream.

In the city sealed by the fog, the tall and beautiful lady took on a human posture, but she was still weaving something in her hands.

She was two meters tall, and her expression softened when she saw the red moon above her head.

"Don't be so nervous. I have always lived on the border between reality and dreams. I am real here. If I wanted to do something to you, I would have done it long ago."

The Nightmare Bridge observed Ria's dream and frowned slightly, but soon, she looked at Ria again: "Since you want to enter the fantasy dream, then I will give you this opportunity. I hope you will make good use of it and don't let down the expectations of the old gods."

"Child, you are much more important than you think. We have put the heavy responsibility of stopping the natural disaster on you."

"You may be our only hope."

As she said, she closed her eyes, and Ria's dream instantly changed.

Everyone disappeared, the surroundings became dark, and a spiral staircase appeared on the ground that led to nowhere. It extended almost infinitely below, and it was hard not to wonder if it had an end.

[Go down from here, don't look back, go all the way down, and you will see what you want to see]

Riya heard that the voice of the person behind him had changed, and he also felt a chill on his back. Perhaps during this period, the Nightmare Bridge had changed back to its original form of a mythical creature.

[Remember, don't look back]

[Don't trust what you see too much inside]

[When necessary, ask for help from the cold spiders inside, only spiders can be trusted]

He whispered.

[I give you the privilege. If you need it, chant my real name in the ancient language. I will know everything you say]

[Call my name - Atlak Nakya]

As he said this, he watched Riya walk down the stairs. Along the way, he would experience countless hallucinations and calls to stop him from continuing to go down, and Riya never looked back again no matter what voice he heard throughout the whole process.

He also saw the two gatekeepers guarding the gate of the Dreamland. The two of them were very friendly and let him go down directly, without any sense of coercion at all.

Now, Atrak, who had witnessed everything, retreated back into the darkness. No one knew what was going on under his long black hair, but when his figure was about to disappear, the void was filled with the spider's weird and inexplicably pleasant laughter.

[This sacrifice... is beyond my expectation]

[Living divine consciousness, it really woke up and can move]

[Very interesting]

[Very interesting]

...

That's what happened before, and now what Leah has to do is to find out what the difference is between here and the outside world.

But in fact, this place is almost exactly the same as the original world except for the different residents.

There are also humans here, they are all people who have strayed into the dreamland, and it seems that they live very comfortably here.

This made Leah feel cold all over for a moment, he seemed to have discovered something suddenly, but he didn't dare to think about it further.

The spider on the ground stared at Leah vigilantly, and as it looked, it suddenly felt as if there was a shadow behind it.

So it turned around and saw a black feathered creature that was extremely huge to it, and the creature was staring at it with two golden eyes.

"Gu."

Little Shival swallowed the spider in one gulp, then jumped onto the table and showed Leah what he had caught not long ago.

It spits out a ball of jelly-like substance, which has its own wisdom, showing a strange life form that is not completely material, and its color does not belong to any color in its impression.

Judging from the extent to which this thing is still crawling after being thrown on the table, it should be some kind of juvenile creature, but when the creature crawls, it seems that only a ball of phosphorescent color can be seen moving.

"How did you catch the extraordinary creature back?"

Riya watched the thing on the table still crawling, and the color at the front of it was like a tentacles to explore the surrounding information, and then suddenly stood up.

It was alert, not because of Riya and Shiwa, but because someone suddenly took a glass and covered it, directly covering it.

"I've been looking for you for so long, now you can't run away!"

The man's hand pressed the glass tightly, he laughed a few times, and then suddenly found that the two lives on the side were looking at him.

He stared at Leah for a long time, wondering: "Are you... a human?"

Leah: "If you think I am, then I should be."

"Are you someone who just came to Dreamland? I haven't seen you for a long time. Let me introduce myself. I am..."

"Falmanf Scarborough."

The man was shocked: "How do you know?"

"You can guess it just by looking at that iconic head, and you probably can't imagine that I came here to find you."

"What do you want from me?"

"To urge you to update."

"What! You guys are urging me to update all the way to Dreamland!!"

"Yes, I am your loyal reader. I have read every one of your books carefully, even over and over again. When I think of people like you no longer creating, I feel like I have lost the meaning of life."
