Chapter 28 Two Updates in One "And then?"
Xia Xifeng looked up at the dome of the church.
The dome of the church was similar in structure to the church where he woke up, both were stained glass domes.
With a "crack", the stained glass dome shattered, but the broken glass did not fall.
The shattered dome turned into powder and drifted into the sky.
There were a few more "cracks", and the temple shattered from top to bottom and turned into powder.
All the roofs and walls of the church disappeared.
A full moon hangs in the sky.
As if it was approaching the ground, the full moon grew bigger and bigger until it occupied half of the sky.
A shadow appeared in the center of the full moon, as if a god was overlooking the world.
A shrill scream came from behind Xia Xifeng.
He looked back and saw that Qin Lang had already taken the last drop of Nightingale's blood.
When the blood moon descended, Nightingale stopped moving and raised her hands in prayer.
Dwarf Jim dropped his axe, put his hands on his head, squatted on the ground and groaned.
Qin Lang, on the other hand, took advantage of the BOSS's immobility to unleash his damage, finally able to unleash all his remaining damage skills to his heart's content.
With a series of combos, each one a critical hit, the BOSS fell at the player's feet.
Qin Lang put away his swords and drank the medicine.
Although the health bar was gone, Nightingale did not die.
She lay on the ground, and kept saying words to seduce Qin Lang.
But unfortunately, Qin Lang never reads or listens to the plot dialogue when fighting monsters.
Nightingale said a lot of things, but they all slipped past Qin Lang's ears, and not a single word entered Qin Lang's mind.
If Qin Lang didn't have this ability to ignore dialogues, he would have been annoyed to death by the plot dialogues after encountering the same monster hundreds or thousands of times.
Actually it's still a bit noisy.
Reality cannot be as silent as a game, so Qin Lang can only use the plot dialogues as white noise to relax his mind.
When Qin Lang drank the medicine, the blood-red light became brighter, and the entire dream was filtered with a red filter.
Dwarf Jim's eyes were dull, like a stone statue.
Xia Xifeng took a look at the status of the dwarf Jim, which showed the word "shocked" in big letters.
When ordinary people face gods, they will be frightened by the gods' pressure and become at a loss, as if they are in a state of dementia.
But there was nothing wrong between him and Qin Lang.
Finding that pressure was useless against two mortals, Blood Moon increased its output power.
The pressure was too great for Nightingale to bear. She finally stopped making any noise.
Qin Lang turned her over and found that her stomach was deflated. Then he left Nightingale, who was not sure whether she was dead or unconscious, and walked to Xia Xifeng.
Qin Lang: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xia Xifeng: "No. What about you?"
Qin Lang: "No."
The two looked at the moon together.
After watching for a while, Xia Xifeng complained, "How long will it take for Him to come down? My neck is sore."
Qin Lang thought for a moment and took out two reclining chairs: "Sit and wait."
Xia Xifeng stretched his neck and took out a small coffee table and placed it in the middle of the recliner.
He placed drinks and snacks on the low table, and lay on the recliner with Qin Lang, looking up at the blood moon as if admiring the moon scenery.
When lying down, Xia Xifeng did not forget to replenish the blood and mana of the squatting dwarf Jim.
I hope Dwarf Jim's legs don't get numb from squatting.
Even if my legs become numb from squatting in a dream, there won’t be any aftereffects when I return to reality, right?
Xia Xifeng was thinking this when he suddenly remembered that the dwarf Jim was dead, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Xia Xifeng: "Even redder."
Qin Lang: "Yeah."
The two of them were bored waiting.
There was no way. The blood moon was hanging high in the sky, and if it didn't come down, Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang couldn't do anything to it.
Xia Xifeng put his hand to his mouth and shouted, "Stop emitting red light, it's really useless. Come down quickly and fight us."
Qin Lang listened to Xia Xifeng trash-talking Xue Yue and took a sip of his drink.
This foreign god is really embarrassing.
Qin Lang did not stop Xia Xifeng from being arrogant.
Since God is behind the system, as long as the world has not been destroyed, if God says they are fine, then they will definitely be fine.
Besides, before the fall of the sun, the Outer Gods were doing things secretly and did not dare to show up directly.
After all, they are "outsider" gods, so they have to keep a low profile on other people's territory and can only carry out sabotage secretly.
The silver moon was still there, the twin suns still shining brightly. Even in dreams, the blood moon didn't dare project too much power, lest it be discovered.
But we discovered it, Shuangri had already discovered it, right? Qin Lang pondered, then gave up thinking.
He is resting his brain now, and when the Blood Moon can no longer hold back and projects a divine body down to test them, he will use his brain to fight.
The light of the blood moon grew brighter and brighter, so bright that it seemed as if a vat of blood had been poured onto the ground, soaking the entire dream in blood.
A faint white light first appeared on Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang's bodies, and then a layer of faint blue light enveloped the white light.
The blue light connected first, and then the white light expanded, covering the blue light in the middle.
Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang were covered with two layers of covers, and the colors inside the covers returned to normal.
Then, the two heard noisy whispers.
Xia Xifeng said, "This is the indescribable whisper of God... Ah, I understand!"
Xia Xifeng looked strange.
The Outer Gods are incompatible with the dream world, so everything about them is "indescribable" and "incomprehensible."
Until the beginning of the Doomsday Era, the rules of the dream world were distorted, and the Outer Gods had bodies in the dream world. Only then could the people of this world communicate directly with the Outer Gods.
But he clearly heard Xueyue cursing very harshly.
The end has not yet come!
Qin Lang got off the recliner, ready to fight: "Maybe the system's translation function is too powerful."
Xia Xifeng nodded. "Yes, Heavenly Father is the God of Creation. To be precise, he doesn't actually belong to this world; rather, this world belongs to him. So it's normal for him to understand foreign languages and provide automatic translation."
The two didn't know the real reason, so they just made a random guess. It didn't matter anyway.
The two of them cleared the tables, chairs, and drinks and got ready.
Xia Xifeng shouted to the sky again, "Stop cursing! Are you coming down or not? If not, let's go!"
Although he didn't know how to log out of the dungeon on his own initiative, he could make some harsh remarks first.
Blood Moon's cursing paused.
[What exactly are you? Why can you understand what I say?]
Xia Xifeng: "We are your father!"
Xia Xifeng said as he hid behind Qin Lang.
Qin Lang's brows twitched.
You said the harshest words and did the most cowardly things. Xia Xifeng, don't you feel ashamed?
Xia Xifeng didn't think so.
When he mocked Blood Moon again, Blood Moon finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent down the projection of his divine body to teach this ungrateful mortal a lesson.
In His opinion, if He wants to explore the secrets of these two special mortals, He can first "capture" them.
The shadow from the blood moon descended, and a god with a body made of branches and an indescribably beautiful face half-closed his eyes and stretched out a hand towards Qin Lang and Xia Xifeng.
Then, his hand was chopped by Qin Lang.
Blood Moon: “……???”
He is using spiritual charm, how come mortals are unmoved?
At this time, mortals should remember the most beautiful and the most painful things, be tortured by the memories, and be unable to move, right?
However, Qin Lang didn't think about anything, his mind was full of fighting.
After waiting for such a long time, the BOSS finally landed and its health bar showed up. Qin Lang almost fell asleep while waiting.
Xia Xifeng sneaked back, hiding behind the tables and chairs in the church that had not disappeared, and dragged the squatting Jim to his side.
Jim's name was still green, and he was still in the team. Xia Xifeng believed the system's suggestion that the Jim in the dream was definitely not in danger.
In order to prevent Blood Moon from pulling up the bodies of the dead and reusing them, when Xia Xifeng saw that Blood Moon had no time to take care of him for the time being, he dragged the bodies to the edge of the cliff and threw them all down.
There were a lot of corpses and he was very inefficient in cleaning them up.
Xia Xifeng muttered, "Alas, I should have thrown the body down with Qin Lang when I was lying down looking at the moon. Why did I only remember it now?"
Unexpectedly, the mortals were not at all deceived by him. Blood Moon changed his mind and wanted to kill the mortals in the dream and not let them go out, so as to report to the gods of the dream world.
Mortals who are not bewitched by him are definitely protected by the gods of the dream world.
Blood Moon felt a little regretful.
His previous plan went too smoothly, and the "Heir of God" was about to come. He would soon be able to directly influence the dream world.
Unexpectedly, at the last moment, His plan was thwarted by mortals.
They have already usurped part of the authority of this world. Anyone from this world, even those favored by the Creator God, will not be completely unaffected by them.
What are the origins of these two mortals?
Blood Moon put away his contempt for mortals.
The blood color in the dream returned to His projected divine body, and the power of the projection gradually increased.
He only has so much power at his disposal. If he tries his best to kill Qin Lang, he will no longer be able to influence the entire dream.
When the dream environment turned into normal colors, the veil on Xia Xifeng also disappeared.
"I..." Dwarf Jim opened his eyes and sat down on the ground.
He looked around blankly and found Xia Xifeng trying to move the body and throw it off the cliff.
"Wind? What are you doing?" asked Dwarf Jim.
Xia Xifeng ran to the dwarf Jim and handed him the tranquilizing potion: "Are you awake? What's wrong?"
Dwarf Jim drank the potion and wiped his mouth: "It hurts everywhere."
He paused, then laughed miserably and said, "So I'm already dead."
Xia Xifeng was stunned.
The dwarf Jim said calmly, "I just had a long dream. I dreamed that I was dead, and everyone in our caravan was dead."
Xia Xifeng was silent for a moment, then said, "No, your daughter is not dead. You protected her. Do you remember her now?"
Dwarf Jim clenched the medicine bottle in his hand.
He stood up and did not answer Xia Xifeng's words. Instead, he asked, "Tell me, what should I do to truly die?"
Xia Xifeng said, "I don't know. But we can help Qin Lang defeat that thing first."
He wondered if he could just say the word "Outer Gods" to Dwarf Jim.
Some NPCs will go crazy when they hear the word "Outer Gods".
It should be okay to refer to it as "that thing", right?
When Xia Xifeng said "that thing", the projection of the Blood Moon Divine Body opened its eyes and glared angrily at the blasphemer... Xia Xifeng who blasphemed again.
Qin Lang took advantage of the moment when he turned his head and hit him on the neck, cutting off half of his neck.
He had no choice but to straighten his neck and turn his head back, not daring to be distracted again.
Blood Moon was extremely puzzled. Even if "He" couldn't project much power, his abilities were mysterious and unfathomable. How could this mortal, whose overall strength wasn't very strong, always avoid his killing moves and even fight him on equal terms?
Xueyue wanted to recruit Qin Lang and promised him many benefits, wanting him to be his spokesperson for the gods.
Qin Lang...Qin Lang didn't listen.
He filtered the plot dialogue again.
Xia Xifeng listened to it, wrote it down, and went back to share it with Mr. Amuruo and Mr. Suer.
Dwarf Jim looked at the projection of the divine body. Just one glance and he had a splitting headache. His health and mana bars dropped rapidly.
Xia Xifeng quickly healed him: "It seems that you can't help directly, then come with me and throw the body down."
Dwarf Jim rubbed his head and said, "What's the point of throwing away the body?"
Xia Xifeng said, "Just in case. What if he pulls the body up and hits us? If we throw the body off the cliff, even if he pulls it up, it will take a long time for it to climb the mountain to get to us."
Dwarf Jim: "..." I always feel that what Xia Xifeng said is weird.
But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it?
Dwarf Jim nodded. "Okay, let's go together. I'll protect you so the corpse doesn't get up right away."
Xia Xifeng rolled up his sleeves: "Okay!"
Keep moving the bodies!
Oh my god!
Because Nightingale was a small boss, Xia Xifeng was most worried that Nightingale would come back to life, so he and the dwarf Jim threw all the mummies off the cliff before touching the bodies of Nightingale and the people she controlled.
Xia Xifeng's concerns and caution were correct.
When Xia Xifeng touched the body of the old woman that was shattered by the dwarf Jim's ultimate move, his head buzzed and hallucinations appeared before his eyes.
("Oh, I made money again, buy ten potatoes!" The old woman in a towel shawl smiled and handed the coin to the vendor.
The vendor smiled and packed the potatoes for the old woman, giving her a few onions as a gift. "When can you tell my fortune for me? I heard you're pretty accurate."
The old woman shook her head. "My divination is indeed very accurate, but it is useless. I tell others about my divination, and no matter how hard they try, they still end up in the future I foresee. Alas, I guess I have to move on again."
The vendor asked, "Why?"
The old woman smiled bitterly: "They can't change the future, so they take their anger out on me."
The vendor asked again, "If you knew this would happen, why did you still tell fortunes for others? Because you were short of money?"
The old woman shook her head again. "No. I simply hope that one day the future I predicted will change. No matter how many times I predict a future I don't want to see, I hope to change."
Xia Xifeng stared at the body of the old woman in front of him.
He was just in a trance for a moment, and his movements did not stop at all, as if nothing had happened.
The old woman's body parts were still lying quietly on the ground, motionless and without any abnormality.
(The old woman excitedly said: "Do you really know how to change the future? My predictions can really be changed?"
The gorgeously dressed, beautiful lady covered her smiling red lips with a feather fan: "Yes. This is the word of the gods. Come, follow me, and when you see my gods, you will understand."
The old woman hesitated. "Can I really trust you? Who is the god you believe in? Where is the church?"
The beautiful lady smiled: "It's just a dream. Don't be afraid..."
She held out her well-maintained hand: "Hold my hand and get some sleep. When you wake up, you'll know I didn't lie to you. This is in the city, you won't be in danger if you get some sleep."
The old woman stretched out her hand, dry as bark. "I want to believe you. I want to save this city. There are many good people in this city. They work hard and help orphans and the elderly. They shouldn't die inexplicably from a sudden plague."
The beautiful lady nodded: "You are right, let's change together."
The old woman's hand touched the beautiful lady's hand, and a shadow moved from the beautiful lady's hand to the old woman's hand.
The old woman's body was instantly torn into pieces, like a dwarf in the caravan being killed.
Soon, the shadows stuck to the corpse and the old woman opened her eyes.
She was confused and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Xia Xifeng picked up the old woman's body parts and threw them off the cliff.
He once tried to burn the mummy, but it was not flammable.
He couldn't even let the bodies rest in peace in his dreams.
What can he do?
Xia Xifeng picked up the middle-aged man's body parts again.
(“Witch! Stop!” The middle-aged man, wearing sturdy armor, rushed towards the beautiful lady with his sword raised.
In an instant, he was dismembered.
Then he woke up and bowed respectfully to the lady, like her escort knight.
In front of the noble lady, a female knight with multiple wounds on her body shouted in grief and anger.
Flames erupted from her body, burning herself to ashes.
The beautiful lady became instantly angry and kicked Ashes hard.
The middle-aged man stared blankly at everything before him, tears welling in the corners of his eyes, but he didn't cry.
Xia Xifeng threw the middle-aged man's body off the cliff.
He remembered the middle-aged man once saying that his wife was an excellent berry pie maker.
The middle-aged man's wife is also a castle guard knight, a knight who can make delicious berry pies.
Xia Xifeng walked towards the two children again.
The bodies of the two children were still intact and could be held in Xia Xifeng's arms.
"Mom and Dad!"
"Run! Run with my sister!"
"Please, let the children go. They are still young and they don't understand anything."
The beautiful lady said enthusiastically, "They are exactly what I need. They will surely be able to carry the power of the gods and become the vessels of the gods' heirs!"
The beautiful lady ordered the middle-aged man and the old woman to capture the two children.
The two children did not die immediately, but were taken to a very luxurious place by the beautiful woman.
They became child prostitutes. 】
Dwarf Jim couldn't bear it and said, "Are you really going to throw them down too?"
Xia Xifeng said, "This isn't reality, it's just a dream, you know. They're all dead."
Xia Xifeng let go of his hand.
Dwarf Jim closed his eyes sadly.
He did not see the hallucination that Xia Xifeng saw, he was just sad because the two corpses were two children.
Dwarf Jim is a very kind man. He not only loves his own children, but also likes children who have no relationship with him.
Children are so cute. They come into the world knowing nothing, explore the world curiously, and gradually become colored by the colors of this world.
The responsibility of adults is to protect children so that they can see colors that make them happy.
As for sadness and despair, when children grow up, they will gradually understand it themselves, so there is no need to force them to grow up too early.
When the dwarf Jim finishes a long journey and returns home to rest, he will work as a teacher in the dwarf school, explaining to the dwarf children the places he has been to and the scenery he has seen.
He is recognized as the dwarf with the best temper in his hometown. He won't get angry even if a child pulls his beard.
So even though Dwarf Jim knew that the children had died long ago, he still felt sad for them.
Xia Xifeng took a few deep breaths, walked up to Nightingale, and said condescendingly, "Stop pretending. I know you're not dead."
Xia Xifeng was just tricking Nightingale, but Nightingale actually opened her eyes.
The dwarf Jim nervously protected Xia Xifeng behind him.
The nightingale lay on its back with its limbs propped up, like a spider.
Many shadows appeared behind her, supporting her stiff body as she "stood up".
Xia Xifeng: [Don't be distracted. Her health bar isn't showing, so she's probably just going through the storyline. Even if her health bar did show up, Jim can still defeat her.]
Qin Lang: [Yes.]
He was very regretful.
Reality is different from games, and he is not cautious enough.
Next time I will ask Amuruo how he can grind someone’s bones into ashes in a dream.
Xia Xifeng looked at the strange Nightingale and said, "You said they were all guilty and deserved the punishment. What crimes did they commit?"
A strange smile appeared on Nightingale's lips.
The same strange smile appeared on the face of the projection of the Blood Moon Divine Body that was fighting with Qin Lang.
Curiosity is a necessary condition for seduction.
As the projection of the Blood Moon Divine Body smiled, Qin Lang's sword brushed past His face.
Before Qin Lang could make a move, Xia Xifeng swung his sledgehammer at Nightingale's face, knocking her to the ground.
"Although this face is not yours, don't laugh. It makes me want to vomit." Xia Xifeng stepped on the hammer to prevent Nightingale from getting up again.
In the hallucinations he saw, although there was a very beautiful lady in each one, the ladies looked different.
But Xia Xifeng firmly believed that "they" were the same person.
It’s all this “Nightingale”.
By the same token, this "Nightingale" is probably not "the complete her".
Those favored by the Blood Moon God will not die so easily.
When Xia Xifeng stepped on the hammer, hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes again.
It was still the town where the old woman, the middle-aged man and the two children lived.
This time, Xia Xifeng saw gangsters cheating and deceiving, rude adventurers bullying the weak, and the nobles and clergy who seemed high and mighty but behaved in a dirty and disgusting way behind the scenes.
The "Nightingale" and the blood moon showed Xia Xifeng the evil of the world.
Xia Xifeng blinked, and the illusion disappeared: "And then?"
"Nightingale" did not open its mouth, but the sound entered Xia Xifeng's ears.
The voice was sweet, like a tongue dipped in honey, gently licking Xia Xifeng's earlobe.
[They were so ugly that they were punished by God. Don’t you think they deserved to be punished?]
Xia Xifeng scratched his ears: "And then?"
[They were punished by God...]
Xia Xifeng said impatiently, "And then? I ask you, what then? Is your divine punishment punishing evil and promoting good? After punishing evil and promoting good, do you re-establish a better order? Okay, needless to say, I know you didn't. That's what a crappy god does. They catch a bad guy and excitedly shout, 'Oh my god, I saw a bad guy here, and everyone in this city is guilty, guilty as well! I'm going to punish you all.'"
Xia Xifeng released his foot from the hammer.
"This incident is also recorded in the Fengxian County Tribulation in Journey to the West. It's similar in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad."
Xia Xifeng replaced the hammer in his hand with a mace staff.
"But no matter how foolish the Jade Emperor in the novel is, and how he treats mortals like ants, he never personally sends his men to specifically target kind ants. Get lost, you idiot."
The staff knocked Nightingale away.
"I will find you." Xia Xifeng looked at the falling Nightingale, "Next time, I will really kill you."
He remembered every Blood Moon follower after the Doomsday Era.
He will find this "Nightingale".
In a magnificent castle, a noble lady woke up from a nightmare.
She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, but couldn't remember what nightmare she had.
"Is one of the dream bodies the gods gave me missing? Did you accidentally run into another powerful person?" The noble lady said coquettishly, "Hmph, when my gods come, I will take back all the suffering I'm going through now."
She got out of bed barefoot and walked into the bathtub in the next room to take a bath to drive away her mental fatigue.
The bath was filled with smoke, and the blood in the pool was as beautiful as rubies.
She sighed with satisfaction, picked up a piece of facial skin and put it on her face.
The dark circles under her eyes faded away, and her skin became as pink and tender as a baby's once again.
In the dream, Xia Xifeng threw all the corpses off the cliff.
Qin Lang was not distracted, but the projection of Blood Moon's divine body was distracted.
He was certain Xia Xifeng had been in this illusion many times, so why had his spirit remained unshaken? He could see no opening for an invasion.
Seeing the power of the gods, even if you are not bewitched, you will at least be afraid, right?
Fear is also a wavering feeling. As long as the spirit of a mortal wavers, the tentacles of the gods will seize the soul of the mortal.
The look in Xia Xifeng's eyes when he looked at him was not the awe he would give to a god who had the power to kill or give life to mortals.
His eyes looked like he was looking at a monster.
