'As Philip said, Ms. Sigh will leave during this time...'
Chen Lun looked around and found that there was no one here.
He was very glad that he had Philip's help in obtaining such secret information.
There was always a faint mysterious atmosphere lingering around, a slightly damp and cold atmosphere, which made him wonder if it might be the trace left by Ms. Sigh.
'Only an hour, maybe even less...'
Chen Lun thought that he couldn’t waste time here, so he walked straight through the Door of Sleep.
As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he felt an indescribable confusion.
It seemed that at this moment, he forgot everything.
Who am I
Where are you
Where are you going next
All kinds of questions came to my mind.
But his strong willpower immediately pulled his self-awareness back.
'This sleeping door is a bit weird...'
Chen Lun looked back with regret, then quickened his pace and walked forward.
Behind the sleeping door was a wider stone staircase leading to the dark depths below. He held his breath and followed Philip's advice all the time, taking slow and steady steps, stepping over the 700 steps one by one.
Finally, he found that the scene around him suddenly changed.
The steps disappeared.
The darkness disappeared.
The environment turned into a gray forest.
The yellow-brown soil under my feet gave off a fishy smell, and everywhere I looked, there were tall trees with lush branches and leaves that blocked out the sun.
'Natural Forest...'
Chen Lun was slightly startled, and immediately recognized the area he was in. It was exactly the same as the natural forest in the fairyland.
"No, the natural forest in the dream world is even darker and more dilapidated, and the air is even more polluted!"
He raised his hand, and within a few seconds, his palm was covered with ink-like stains, which were strange dust floating in the air. If you don't observe carefully, you can't even see it.
Chen Lun also noticed that his health points were slowly decreasing, and he couldn't help but frowned.
'The environment in the dream world is too harsh. Philip has been trapped for many years. It is hard to imagine how she managed to survive...'
He unfolded his extraordinary biological spiritual breath, and gill-like cracks appeared on his cheeks and neck, opening and closing slightly to avoid inhaling the black dust, and his health stopped decreasing. Chen Lun speculated that the dust had some kind of corruption and erosion effect.
Chen Lun took a cautious step forward.
Based on his experience in Wonderland, he avoided many dangerous areas and headed towards the town of Kazt, just like reciting a game.
Chen Lun didn't dare to touch the trees in the forest easily, for fear of provoking those desolate giants... This is the real dream world, not the fairyland, and the degree of danger cannot even be compared.
'Compared with the Dream Realm, the Fairy Realm is just a cut-down version of a novice dungeon... The Dream Realm is a complete version of the Hell difficulty.'
He thought to himself.
Soon, Chen Lun arrived at the cobblestone path leading to the town of Kazt without disturbing any polluting creatures.
'Philip told me that she placed the mythological knowledge of Fate Sequence Four - The Clown, on the White Tower in Kazite Town... and Mr. Tout's dream talk was also related to Kazite Town, so maybe we can find him there.'
A thought flashed through Chen Lun's mind.
He stepped on the pebbles covered with black dust, which made a rustling sound. He glanced at the right side of the road and couldn't help but think of the time when he met the black cat warrior Nada in the fairyland.
At this moment.
Chen Lun suddenly saw a small black figure slowly walking out of the woods behind the path, dragging a rusty and broken axe in his hand.
'What's the answer?'
He looked at the black cat walking upright and was quite surprised.
I didn’t expect to see it again!
But the other person did not look like what he had imagined. His originally shiny black hair was now dull, even rough and gray. His left eye was drooping, as if he was blind. His beard was also uneven, and he looked very old.
"Na Da" raised his only remaining eye, and his originally turbid eyes suddenly focused.
After a few seconds of silence, it said in a hoarse voice:
"Another human who has strayed here? If you don't want to die, I advise you to return the way you came..."
Seeing this, Chen Lun knew that the other party did not know him.
After all, he only had contact with the "Na Da" in the fairyland.
He slowly approached it with his silver cane, and the beast just stared at him silently. When they were about ten meters apart, it swung the axe in its hand violently and chopped down at him without mercy!
when!
Chen Lun's silver cane accurately blocked the giant axe, making a crisp sound.
The boy's hole shrank slightly, and he turned around and ran away the next second.
"Then answer."
Chen Lun suddenly spoke.
The black cat's steps stopped instantly. It slowly turned its head and looked at Chen Lun with disbelief.
"Why... do you know my name?"
Its voice was dry and even trembling slightly.
"Because I've seen you."
Chen Lun said softly.
Seeing Black Cat's doubtful expression, he sighed and added:
"The Cat God sent me here."
In order to gain the other party's trust as quickly as possible, Chen Lun had to use Maggie's name.
"Cat God?!"
The animal was very surprised and shook its head repeatedly.
"The Cat God has abandoned us. How... How could this happen?!"
Chen Lun frowned calmly, but on the surface he showed a gentle smile.
"The Cat God has never abandoned you."
He grabbed the axe handle, and the next second, the rust on the axe fell off instantly, and strange words emerged, emitting a dazzling light.
"Curler! You are the Curler of the Cat God! You are here at last!"
The man opened his mouth, looking shocked.
Hot tears immediately filled its only eye, and it began to sob.
The blessed weapon of the Cat God reacted violently. This is definitely the scroll of God!
"What happened here? Can you tell me?"
Chen Lun asked softly.
It cried for a while, then its voice became quieter. Then it took a deep breath, raised its head and said in a deep voice:
"Master, it's too late. Everything is too late... The town of Kazt no longer exists. All the residents of Cat Town are dead. Everyone is dead..."
Chen Lun was slightly stunned.
He frowned and fell silent.
This is completely different from the experience in Wonderland, where the town of Kazt is plagued by a wave of pollution, but the cat town residents still live well.
"I don't know when it started, but Cat Town could no longer resist the pollution. In just a few days, the White Cat Clan was slaughtered, and even the High Priest Daye... turned into a polluted monster! Only a few of our Black Cat Clan who were stranded outside survived."
It was as if he had finally found someone to talk to, and he could pour out the pent-up grief in his heart.
"I often think of my mission, which is to find a way out for my hometown, but now my hometown is gone... We, the Black Cat Clan, have lost the meaning of living."
Chen Lun looked at its grief-stricken expression and knew the reason it returned to this cobblestone path was probably to reminisce about the past.
Sighing secretly, Chen Lun then asked:
"Can you take me to see your current settlement?"
Nada wiped away her tears and nodded gently.
"Please follow me, Master Curler."
It dragged its huge axe and walked towards the woods.
Chen Lun followed closely behind, and after walking for about six or seven minutes, he saw several simple tents built against large rocks.
To his surprise, by the campfire, seven or eight elderly black cats were surrounding an old man, listening attentively to what he was saying.
The old man sitting in the middle had sparse hair and wore a pair of high glasses on his nose. He looked thin and haggard, but his face was full of expression when he spoke.
"Mr. Tote?"
Chen Lun exclaimed in surprise.
"Um?!"
Taote stopped talking, turned around and looked over with a look of shock.
"You... you are?"
There was a look of thought in his eyes, but he looked like he couldn't remember.
"I used to be Mrs. Caroline's tenant, and I often went to your bookstore to read."
Chen Lun explained.
Only then did Taote suddenly realize.
"So it's you, kid! You took my book before and didn't pay for it!"
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the other party only remembered this incident.
Taote asked again with a puzzled look:
"How come you are so unlucky that you end up here?"
"I came here to rescue you because I received a request for help from Mrs. Caroline."
Chen Lun smiled.
"Save me? Do you have a way?!"
Taote looked surprised, and even showed joy in his eyes.
"Caroline asked you to come... She has me in her heart, hehe."
But soon, Taote's expression became suspicious again.
"You have this ability?"
"Don't ask so many questions, Mr. Tote. I just want to ask if you want to return to the real world... You have been in a coma for a year. Mrs. Caroline is worried all day long and has become haggard because of you."
Chen Lun shrugged and said calmly.
Taote's face changed.
"Yes! Of course I do! I didn't expect that I was unconscious for so long... I thought only a few days had passed..."
After hearing Taote's words, Chen Lun realized that the dream world had a great influence on him and might have tampered with some of his cognition of time.
"Since you want to go back, please wait for me here patiently for a moment. I will take you back to the real world later."
Chen Lun said.
He immediately called Nada and asked about Mr. Tote.
"Mr. Taote is a human we rescued in the Natural Forest... He is a poor man who accidentally entered the dream world."
That answer said.
"He's a good storyteller. The Black Cat Warriors were all depressed because of the destruction of Kazt, so Mr. Tote told us some stories about human history, such as the process of civilizations rising again after their homes were destroyed. This encouraged everyone, and we are all very grateful to him. He is also deeply respected by everyone."
"So that's how it is."
Chen Lun nodded.
He turned and looked back at the fire.
Those old black cats really respected Tote. When he spoke, they just listened silently, with gratitude and recognition in their eyes.
This made Chen Lun sigh, perhaps this is the reward for the brilliance of human nature.
Although Taote was just an ordinary person, his kindness enabled him to be rescued by the black cat and survive.
"Well, do you want to leave here? I can take you to the real world."
Chen Lun thought about it and asked the black cat.
The answer was very surprised. It was silent for a moment, then said hesitantly:
"Master Curator, it doesn't really matter where we go... Without our hometown, there is no meaning for us surviving black cats to live. If it weren't for Mr. Tout's encouragement, we would have even planned to charge into the town of Kazt and have a final fight with the polluting creatures there."
"Don't be so pessimistic, then. The Cat God has never abandoned you, and the town of Kazt has not necessarily been destroyed..."
Chen Lun comforted.
"Master Curler? What do you mean by this?"
That answer is very puzzling.
Chen Lun thought about it and decided to use unconventional means to save these black cats.
He extended his index finger and gently touched Nada's forehead.
You cast mind transfer on the target "Nada"!
Will is being judged...
The target's willpower is 48 points, your willpower is 82 points, the judgment is successful!
The familiar scene of Cat Town suddenly emerged in Nada's mind.
Countless white cats walked and greeted each other on the streets of the town with smiles on their faces. Blacksmiths were hammering red-hot metal embryos. Old cats were hawking fresh fruits and vegetables. The Daye High Priest and his guards walked slowly on the red city wall, causing a wave of respectful calls.
Tears fell from the one eye of Nada again.
“It’s them… they are my family members from my hometown.”
"Then the town of Kazt lives well in another world. Believe me, I can take you there."
Chen Lun said in a deep voice.
Nada no longer hesitated, took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
"Thank you, Master Curler. This must be the will of the Cat God! I will convey your wishes to the remaining brothers. I believe they will not refuse!"
Chen Lun hummed.
He immediately said hello to Nada and said that he would go back to the town of Kazt and come back later to take them away.
After leaving this secluded settlement, Chen Lun continued walking along the cobblestone path.
Not even a moment.
He came to the stone bridge in front of the town of Kazt.
However, the statue of the cat god that originally stood at the bridge head had been destroyed and shattered into pieces of stone on the ground. Even the stone bridge was broken into two parts, and the moat underneath was covered with pebbles and the bones of countless cat creatures.
Only the ruins of the red city wall remained, stained with dark brown and black blood and stains, looking dilapidated and miserable.
Seeing this scene, Chen Lun suddenly had an illusion that "the fairyland and the dream world are like two world lines in parallel time and space."
He flew into the air above the silent town of Kazt.
Looking down, most of the buildings in Cat Town have collapsed and destroyed. There are almost no intact buildings or decorations. Only small white bones and dried blood can be seen scattered everywhere.
Woo!
A shrill scream echoed in the center of the town.
Chen Lun looked over and saw a fat, spherical, polluted creature wriggling on the broken stone square. Its fur was torn, and only the tortoise-colored tiger stripes could be vaguely seen. Its body was covered with dense cat legs, and its head was stitched with several different cat faces.
He immediately guessed that this might be the corrupted high priest of Cat Town, Daye.
"He is quite strong, with a physical quality close to that of a Sequence Five Transcendent…"
Chen Lun stopped in mid-air and sighed.
'Send it off for the last time.'
He raised his hand and threw out a dozen magic flying cards.
*

*
Chen Lun shot out a ball of extraordinary flame, burning the pool of flesh and blood in front of him to ashes.
Immediately, he came to the gate of the white tower in the town with an expressionless face.
Look up and take a closer look.
This white tower was originally a defense facility on which the town of Kazt depended for its survival, and it was also a temple dedicated to the God of Cats. But now, it has long been dim, and its originally white exterior walls are now covered with black dust and blood stains.
Chen Lun pushed the door open and walked up the spiral staircase.
In the attic on the top floor, the altar of the cat god was gone, leaving only a mess.
He patiently searched for a while, and finally, guided by his intuition, he found an old book in the innermost corner.
Chen Lun dusted off the book, and the title of the book appeared on the cover—
The Life of a Master Showman: Philip's Autobiography
Looking at the "showy" title of the book, he immediately confirmed that it was most likely the mythological knowledge that Philip left for him.
A prompt popped up on the panel, confirming that this was a mythological book.
Chen Lun's heart suddenly surged.
"I finally got the mythical knowledge of Destiny Sequence 4!"
