No one can believe it.
Lin Huai stood up from the ground. The corpse that was originally under his body has disappeared, leaving only an open space.
—As if what he killed and questioned just now was a dream-like hallucination.
The death of the beauty in the safari suit is still engraved in his mind. Holding an axe, he stood looking at the city-state at dusk. There are many dark houses in the city-state, and there are many empty streets. He was wearing a red cloak and standing in the middle of the road. He was the brightest, most eye-catching, and most dangerous color in the entire dark city-state.
I just don't know whether this "danger" is aimed at him or those potential attackers.
This sleeping city controlled by the lazy witch is indeed in danger. Not to mention this weird city, even the two Chu Tianshu who appeared one after another are enough to make people feel terrified. But if another person is here, as long as you take away the slightest doubt that the other person is really your lover, so you don't dare to kill the other person, you may die here.
After all, not everyone can be as ruthless as Lin Huai. Even if other people know that something is wrong with the lover who appears in front of them, they will worry that they will really hurt the real lover. And Lin Huai's every move was aimed at killing from the very beginning.
"If he could be killed by me so easily, he wouldn't be Chu Tianshu."
He thought so.
Fortunately, he solved it quickly enough, otherwise God knows where these two Chu Tianshu will take him. One of the two Chu Tianshus wanted to take him to the castle, and the other wanted to take him out of the city. Now it seems that both places are absolute dead ends.
And he may have fallen into a dream the moment he entered the city—not someone else's dream, but his own dream. The person holding hands with him along the way has changed from Chu Tianshu to an unknown black thing since at some point.
Those two black things have said a lot to him—maybe they want to win his trust, maybe they want to deceive him, but the only thing Lin Huai can confirm is that the only person he can absolutely trust is Chu Tianshu after entering the dream. The words that had been spoken to him before the city.
—The real Chu Tianshu would not lie to him.
In addition, no matter how different the words are, the one thing these two shadows express together is the fear of the "night". If we look at it from the opposite side where both are deceiving him, "Dark Night" may instead be the ultimate solution to all dangers. However, Lin Huai clearly remembered that Chu Tianshu also warned him before entering the city that he must leave the City of Dreams before midnight.
This may be because the crisis that occurred after midnight was overwhelming and indiscriminate, whether it was for him or for Sombra.
That being the case, he had to hurry up and find the key to "leave the dreamland" before midnight. Both fake Chu Tianshu and one real Chu Tianshu once said that finding the "key" is the only way to leave the dream and end this small dungeon.
only…
Lin Huai looked around the city-state. There are about dozens of streets and hundreds of houses in this city-state.
- Eliminate the most dangerous castles.
To find a "key" in such a place is like finding a needle in a haystack, how easy is it
But since it's a dream...
Lin Huai closed his eyes, trying to pluck the strings in his brain to activate his ability to manipulate dreams. However, all the mental power he gave out was like sinking into the sea, and his heart was slowly sinking.
—This is indeed his own dreamland.
Healers cannot heal themselves. In their own dreams, dream controllers will also lose their invincible ability to manipulate dreams. Because what they need to resist is no longer the will of others, but their own subconscious mind that is as huge as an iceberg that is sunk below the surface of the sea.
It is nonsense to use the superconscious mind that occupies less than 10% of the overall consciousness to control the subconscious mind that exceeds 90%. However, Lin Huai closed his eyes, sat down quietly cross-legged on the street, and once again tried to use his consciousness to stir the tentacles of the dream.
After countless mud cows entered the sea, a strand of his inexhaustible consciousness finally touched a blurred scene.
The figure of the little girl in a white dress flashed across the street. She appeared at the intersection of the street as if suddenly, with a blank expression on her face, quietly looking at the girl in red sitting in the center of the street.
The girl in red closed her eyes, as if she was completely unaware of the other party's existence.
The little girl in the white dress looked at the ignorant red cloak with a weird smile on her face.
At the moment when he touched the dream, Lin Huai seemed to hear the sound of some kind of valve being opened—his mental power and manipulation skills seemed to be upgraded again.
But at this moment, he was in no mood to care about it. All his spirit was completely immersed in what he "saw".
In the chaotic and indistinct ocean, he saw many faint blue tentacles like thorny vines. They trembled quietly, took root, and wrapped a bubble, like some kind of alien creature, or like some kind of An extremely beautiful and extremely eerie and terrifying parasite.
However, what really attracted his attention was the bubble in the vine.
In the dungeon, Lin Huai has seen dream bubbles of many people. Except for Chu Tianshu's bubble, which was large, fuzzy and opaque white, the others' bubbles revealed more or less different colors representing mood, and they were very transparent, allowing people to see the contents inside.
He has also seen the dream bubbles of ghosts—such as Lan Xiang in the Simei picture. It looks like something flowing with blood, a terrifying blood cell. Ordinary people will be aroused by the strong resentment and have nightmares after taking a look at it.
However…
"This kind of thing... is my dream bubble?"
Lin Huai spoke softly with a strand of consciousness.
He couldn't describe the bubble he saw in words. It was unlike any bubble he had seen belonging to someone else.
This bubble exudes a kaleidoscope-like color, floating spots of various colors, like a beautiful, chaotic, extremely dangerous and crazy vortex, just one glance, it will sink deeply.
He saw thousands of spots flickering crazily in this bubble, and the faint blue vines tried their best to wrap around it and even take root in it. However, the position where the vine touches it has also been distorted.
If Chu Tianshu's dream is opaque and heavy pure white, absolute blank and absolute simplicity, then his own dream is absolute chaos.
Lin Huai's strand of consciousness tried to poke itself into her own dream—and manipulate it, just as it had done with other people's dreams.
However…
On the empty street, Little Red Riding Hood opened her eyes.
Accompanied by the opening of his eyes, he covered his chest with his hand. The huge sinking feeling of falling from a high altitude woke him up, and the blood in his chest surged, as if blood would also spurt out along with it.
Lin Huai clutched her chest and let out a deep laugh for a long time.
"As expected of my own dream, the protective awareness of the dream is also very powerful." There was no sense of frustration in his voice, "Since this is the case, I can only find a soft persimmon, such as—"
Get out of this instance before dark by solving the Lazy Witch puzzle.
It is difficult to admit one's failure, but Lin Huai doesn't feel that his previous attempt failed. On the contrary, he successfully resisted the invasion of his own dreams. No matter who is the winner in dreams or consciousness, he is the one who wins in the end and proves his strength. Therefore, he is sincerely proud.
Then the next thing to do is to find where the key is... Thinking of this, Lin Huai stood up.
His eyes suddenly turned in a certain direction.
There was no one in that direction, but...
The direction where the little girl appeared before!
"It's impossible to find all the houses one by one before the sun goes down." Lin Huai thought, "The key must be somewhere special, and the most special place in this city of… "
Of course it was the little girl holding the bear.
Lin Huai still remembers that when she was walking with "Chu Tianshu", she smiled strangely at him and made a mouth shape of "you have been cheated" to him.
She must be related to the key, and she must know something even if the key is not with her.
And the little girl is wearing white clothes... Generally speaking, white clothes have always been a symbol of purity and innocence in fairy tales.
However, judging from his previous experience in fighting the Gluttonous Witch, passing this dungeon probably requires some skills and quick wit related to fairy tales. For example, the most delicious food of the Gluttonous Witch is her own tongue, and the signpost for leaving the cabin is the glass pointer in the candy house. In the city-state of the lazy witch, the placement of the keys should also be related to fairy tales.
And the story related to the lazy witch is "Sleeping Beauty".
The key words of the Sleeping Beauty story are spinning cones, deep sleep, and the kiss of true love.
Thinking of this, Lin Huai put the red cloak on his head. Wearing a red hat, he followed the direction of the little girl.
In the last twilight, the sleeping city-state was silent. Except for the sound of the wind, all he could hear was his own footsteps.
He didn't find the little girl right away, but he wasn't anxious. Lin Huai always has enough patience when carrying out activities such as cat and mouse.
The only thing he was curious about was what kind of new traps this sleeping city-state would set for him after the death of the two "Chu Tianshu", otherwise...
"If the advanced field is limited to this, it would be too boring."
When he was about to turn the corner, he heard the crisp sound of wind chimes.
"Ding dong—ding dong—"
Another wind chime sounded.
Lin Huai turned his head and saw a dark storefront. In this city-state, due to the lack of internal lighting, most of the storefronts can only see darkness when looking in from the outside, making it difficult to see what is inside.
There is no wind in the city... So, "what" rang the wind chime
Lin Huai walked towards the store step by step. Through the window glass of that house, the dark and invisible interior appeared before his eyes.
When reaching the door, Lin Huai suddenly remembered—
Before the second Chu Tianshu appeared, he also heard the sound of wind chimes.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
He heard the sound of something being chewed in that storefront.
