Dream world.
As the pixel vehicle returned to Daxia, the hatch popped open, and Jin Yi carried the semi-conscious Lin Qiye on his back and rushed to the headquarters of the Night Watch!
“Hey, Lin Qiye! Just bear with it a little longer… We’ll be there soon!”
"You can't die! You haven't even sent me home yet!"
Jin Yi's figure was as fast as lightning, with his silver-white hair flying in the wind. Feeling the sound of Lin Qiye's painful struggle behind him becoming smaller, he spoke hurriedly.
"Put me... down..." Lin Qiye said hoarsely.
"Come down? We'll be in the medical department soon!"
"Put me down... My condition... they can't cure it."
Seeing Lin Qiye was so persistent, Ji Nian hesitated for a moment, but still put him on the ground.
Lin Qiye leaned against the corner of the wall, barely standing up straight, breathing heavily... He felt that the counterattack from Azathoth in his mind seemed to have weakened a little, which gave him a chance to catch his breath.
"Damn it, you actually attacked me..."
Lin Qiye's gaze seemed to penetrate the barriers of this universe and look towards a higher dimension.
Azathoth's instinctive counterattack directly awakened his consciousness from the "instigation" and, relying on his own power, directly trapped Lin Qiye's consciousness in this dream universe on the verge of destruction...
If he cannot leave here as soon as possible and return to the higher-dimensional world, his consciousness will sooner or later disappear completely with the destruction of this dream world.
But now the "Lin Qiye" consciousness that he left in the high-dimensional world, that is, the little boy, is completely suppressed, which makes it difficult for him to escape from this dream world...
"Is there any other way... Is there any other way??"
While Lin Qiye was thinking hard about how to leave here, he tried to use his consciousness to forcefully break through this dream world. The severe pain in his head rose again!
Looking at Lin Qiye, who was sweating all over and had a hideous face, Ji Nian wanted to help, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only grit his teeth in anxiety.
Jingle Bell-
Just then, a crisp cell phone ringtone rang.
"Cell phone... Whose cell phone is it?" Ji Nian was stunned. Listening to the voice, it seemed to come from himself.
But she clearly didn't bring her cell phone!
She felt her pocket to confirm that it wasn't her phone ringing, and then she set her eyes on the pixel brooch on her chest...
Jinian was stunned for a while, and suddenly an absurd idea flashed through her mind. A wisp of pixel particles floated out from the brooch and formed a toy pixel phone in her hand.
Jingle Bell!
The toy phone without batteries or phone cards actually lit up and made the same ringtone as before!
"No way! Is it really that outrageous?!" Jin Yi's eyes widened.
The toy phone she made casually not only received the message, but the ringtone also traveled back in time to five seconds ago, ringing when the phone was not yet made? ! !
The scene before her was completely beyond Ji Nian's understanding. The next moment, the phone in her palm inexplicably slipped and fell precisely in front of Lin Qiye.
On the screen of the pixel phone, a line of information is clearly visible.
-we are coming.
The moment he saw these four words, Lin Qiye froze in place.
Boom! !
A dull roar suddenly came from above, echoing in every corner of the earth.
The people in the shelter, the night watchmen in the city, the bewildered Ji Xiang, and Lin Qiye who was struggling in pain, all looked up at the same time, and saw that the stars that were originally swallowed by the endless red light were reappearing at an alarming speed!
Boom!!!
The second muffled sound was heard, and the stars in the entire universe flickered, and the dazzling light filled the universe!
"This sound... why does it feel like someone is knocking on the door?" Ji Nian murmured in surprise.
Knock on the door.
Yes, knock on the door.
This sound coming from the depths of the starry sky is the sound of knocking on the door!
Boom!!!
The third knock on the door sounded, and the entire universe flickered again, as if...
Someone is outside that world, knocking on the starry sky again and again! !
Boom-boom-boom-boom! !
As the knocks on the door became more frequent, countless stars in the sky began to flash at a high frequency, vaguely interweaving into a mysterious mark... It was a huge circle composed of countless stars, with two straight rays of light intersecting on it, like two sword beams, cutting the dark universe apart!
The moment he saw this mark, Lin Qiye's body began to tremble uncontrollably...
That is the mark of [Night]!
Above the nothingness, a huge portal was outlined out of thin air.
It was a majestic and tall stone gate. With its appearance, endless gray fog surged out!
The ancient portal slowly opened in the gray fog, and four crimson figures walked out of it... They did not belong here. Like Lin Qiye, they were also "shadows" projected from the higher-dimensional world into this dream world.
Four crimson cloaks fluttered in the wind. They passed through this shattered world and came to the struggling Lin Qiye...
The leader squatted down slightly, stretched out his hand towards Lin Qiye, and spoke gently:
"I told you... we'll find you, Captain."
Lin Qiye looked at that familiar face, and the loneliness and pain that had been suppressed in the deepest part of his heart finally burst out. He opened his mouth, but in the end he only uttered a few words...
"Long time no see... Qingyu."
Deputy captain of the Night Squad, An Qingyu.
"How can it be said that you and Deputy Captain An haven't seen each other for a long time... I am the one who hasn't seen each other for a long time, right?" Cao Yuan shrugged and said bitterly, "I was the first one sent to the high-dimensional world by Qingyu."
Ghost Jiang Er floated in the air and stuck out his tongue, "If that's the case, I'm the first one to die!"
Shen Qingzhu looked at the weathered Lin Qiye in front of him, was silent for a moment, took out a cigarette from his arms and handed it to him.
"Want one, Captain?"
Lin Qiye's eyes swept over everyone one by one. This time, he did not refuse. He held the cigarette with a wry smile. Shen Qingzhu rubbed it with his fingertips and lit it...
“Cough cough cough…” Lin Qiye lowered his head and started coughing.
The smoke was very strong, and it choked Lin Qiye so much that tears filled his eyes.
"How did you ..."
"The Key to the Gate was originally created with the energy of a higher-dimensional world. Behind the Gate of Truth is actually connected to a higher-dimensional world." An Qingyu patiently explained, "In the original universe, I completely controlled the Gate of Truth and became the new Key to the Gate. After ascending to a higher dimension, I then wandered around in the higher-dimensional world with this gate...
The higher-dimensional world is too big. I have traveled alone in the higher-dimensional world for countless years and studied various higher-dimensional energy forms. During this long period of time, Cao Yuan and others have also completed dimensional upgrades one after another, so we have been looking for you by following the traces of the higher-dimensional world.
I observed the celestial phenomena in the higher-dimensional world and discovered the dimensional storm caused by Azathoth, so I followed the direction and came here..."
