Chapter 115 wonder: The dream should be shattered.
No... Why would I think of such words? Which "I" do you mean?
K... And why can I so easily conclude that the man in front of me whose face I can't see clearly must be the K in Linglan's memory?
Faust pulled Wonder's shoulder with a grim expression, but found that even through the mask, he could see the other person's confusion and helplessness.
"Don't you have any impression of these memories? Then whose memories are these... No..."
Faust frowned as he looked at the solid rattan cocoon. Behind the young law enforcer with a complicated expression and blurry features, another person who was too familiar to him also appeared here.
"How is it? Does this meet the requirements of the Senate? A true carrier of life and death."
Queen smiled and took a puff of cigarette, then she walked forward swayingly and looked at the translucent rattan cocoon with K.
The young lily of the valley, buried by the vines, was lying there, sleeping quietly, as if trapped in a dream from which it would never wake up.
"...I remember the design we needed at the beginning was for two people."
K sighed: "Where is the other boy?"
Queen shook her head with a hint of regret: "He is not qualified as a carrier of death. The soul tag awakened in the final ceremony is the space system. Maybe he will become a surprise force for me. It doesn't matter. There is always a place for that child in the two places of Demon Apostle and Law Enforcement Bureau."
Faust sneered. The boy he was referring to should be the young Spade. The formation required that death and life be divided into two parts. At the beginning, those priests certainly did not really believe that Lily of the Valley alone could bear the cost of the formation, so they prepared two carriers, Lily of the Valley and Spade.
Unfortunately, Spade's awakened soul tag has nothing to do with death, so these two concepts are all concentrated on Suzuran alone.
Faust felt a headache when he thought about the first thing he did after becoming Queen's subordinate, which was to help her take care of that naughty kid Spade. The past is dark and cannot be retrieved. In the past ten years, as the Queen's chosen deputy of the Demon Apostle and the mentor of Spade, he has helped the dramatic Spade to deal with the mess left by Spade. Although he hates the character of that naughty boy, if it weren't for Spade's character, he would not be able to succeed so easily now.
The dream of death is continuing, and all people's souls will be left in the underworld, enjoying endless happiness as long as he can leave the memory of this thief.
Everything will end, that terrible reality, the terrible future, and everything terrible will become a sweet dream.
Faust clenched his fists and pulled Wonder's shoulders. "Who are you? Don't say you are just an ordinary person who is curious about the Ten Commandments. How could the Queen exist in the memory of an ordinary person?!"
Wonder sighed, slapped Faust's arm away, and explained in a disgusted tone: "If I knew, I wouldn't be here with you in shock."
Faust took a deep breath and said, "You really don't know? But how is it possible? The memories that can appear here must be the most profound components of a person's soul. To be honest, I have been paying attention to you for a long time, Phantom Thief Wonder. Although you are collecting the Ten Commandments, you are always concerned about the location of Bai Ye. What is your purpose?"
Faust's voice fluctuated greatly in emotion, and the questioning was so loud and urgent that Wonder was a little confused.
Wonder raised his lips into a sarcastic smile, forcing himself not to reveal his identity, maintaining the cover of [Miracle]: "Come on, isn't Bai Ye's fate entirely up to you? Why on earth do you pretend to be worried about him?"
Wonder spread his hands and said, "Besides, facing that guy's unreasonable soul tag ability, if there is a real confrontation, I should be the one who needs to worry more, right?"
"What do you know? You don't understand anything at all. You don't know what I am--"
Faust took a deep breath. He looked like he was about to say something, but subconsciously he glanced at the queen in his memory. The queen's existence was fear itself, making him feel that he was still being monitored by that woman's eyes anytime and anywhere.
His hands were shaking. Ever since he became the Queen's assistant, he would easily fall into this kind of great panic. The Queen was an unfathomable and powerful being. All the tasks she issued had only one requirement that had to be completed, but Faust often disagreed with the tasks she gave to the demon apostles.
Rather, it is very repulsive.
You need to cause chaos, you need to kill demons, you need to enter the other world, walk through the dark land in the dark space, fight with countless sticky and terrifying monsters, and get the soul particle items that the queen wants to collect from those powerful demons.
Even... it is necessary to confront former colleagues and law enforcers.
Faust of the General Administration of Law Enforcers and Thousand Faces among the Devil's Apostles are identities prepared for him by the Queen herself. Sometimes Faust feels that his consciousness has been torn in two. On the one hand, he is the beloved reserve leader of the General Administration of Law Enforcers, even the reserve chairman, the new Jack.
On the other hand... he is the deputy of the boss of the Demon Apostle, who is the most hated by the General Administration of Law Enforcers. He often just seriously injured an enforcer yesterday, and the next day he would be the host and recite the eulogy at the funeral of another sacrificed enforcer.
His soul had been torn into two halves, black and white, and Faust unconsciously clutched the fabric on his arms.
"Then I'll leave it to you to take care of. By the way, isn't the 'variable' we're looking for in the plan here yet?"
K touched his chin. His voice was bright and convincing, but for no reason it made Wonder feel the long-lost fear.
"He hasn't appeared yet, but I have arranged for Faust to look for him. Oh, that's the subordinate I just found. He is a very capable subordinate. Don't worry, I will definitely help you find the key things the Senate needs, no, the most important 'key'."
Queen tapped the vines with her pipe, and K finally seemed to be interested. She looked up and warned, "Don't forget not to let anyone except your chosen subordinates get in touch with the 'key'. Diamond is indeed very sensible, but that doesn't mean his friends are the same, especially Heart."
Queen smiled: "I know, I know. The 'key' will only pass through the square. No, now it should be Faust's hand, the red heart, and even Fanlan who can only rely on me to survive. They will not know anything. In any case, the Senate is serious this time. K, at least we all know this fate in advance. Speaking of which, the people in this land are really pitiful..."
The queen showed a venomous smile: "They don't know that the end of fighting against the devil is that everyone will become the nutrients of 'God' and move on to the next era."
"nutrient……?"
Wonder felt a sharp pain in his temple. He pressed gently to relieve the abnormal pain, but the tearing sensation remained. He could even feel his soul screaming, wanting to get closer to K with fear and anticipation.
"Nutrients..."
Faust's eyes widened. He took a step back, his pupils trembling slightly. "...I should have known it earlier...I should have known it when Queen came to me...The Demon Apostles and the Law Enforcement Bureau are so opposed to each other, and their top leader is the same person. This situation cannot be caused by Queen alone. There must be others..."
"The only existence higher than the Sun Enforcement Bureau is the Senate that manages everything... Only souls who have made great contributions to mankind can enter the Senate, the modern Hall of Valor... Throughout the operation of the Sun Enforcement Bureau, only King, one of the three chairmen, has entered the Hall of Valor."
Faust fell to the ground. Wonder wanted to open his mouth to get more information, but he also staggered and fell down because of the severe headache. Queen and K did not continue to speak. The two stood there side by side until K turned around.
"Okay, Queen, you can go do your thing now. Leave this girl to me. I will let her play her due role...close the door to the underworld and cover up the fact that the Demon King is dead."
K stretched out his hand, and imperceptible soul particles filled the air. Wonder barely focused his sight and saw that the vine cocoon opened quickly, as if it was afraid of K's arrival.
No, K did not use soul particles, he just existed there, causing the Demon King's vine cocoon to spread out uncontrollably.
"Next, in the future, everything will proceed according to the script of the Senate. All life will be transformed into nutrients for the coming of the 'Age of Gods'. Queen, do what you need to do. We will wait together for the coming of the truly great Age."
K turned around, looked in the direction where Wonder and Faust were curled up, and smiled confidently.
"After the dream of death is completed."
When K finished speaking, Wonder only felt a sharp pain in his brain. The fragments of broken fate flashed before his eyes. Those fragments were quickly becoming clear, as if the broken fragments had finally found their complete self and began to declare their existence.
Blood, endless blood spread on the ground. Wonder seemed to have seen the real future. The dark green mist of death covered the entire world, and no urban area could escape.
K, Queen, and T173's light screen were suspended in the clouds, looking down on everything proudly.
Countless clues are intertwined in Wonder's mind, and the truth is about to come out.
K is King. He appeared there not to save Lily of the Valley, but to create the illusion that the law enforcers are righteous, so that Lily of the Valley can enter the Law Enforcer Headquarters and become an indispensable part of their interconnected Ink City plan.
Everything, whether it is the DM system or the t173 system, is a conspiracy of the Senate. They want to turn all the lives on the earth into the energy of "ascension to godhood" that they collect, and the General Administration of Law Enforcers and the Demon Apostles are just the best tools in their hands.
K and Queen's plans are closely linked. The former even guesses across memory and time that Faust will not seriously complete their plan in the end.
"Are you okay? You look like you're in pain."
Faust took a deep breath. He seemed to have fallen into a state of numbness. Fear still enveloped him, but he forced himself to regain his strength, stood up, and reached out to Wonder who was kneeling on the ground.
"If you don't mind... I can help you adjust your mental state. After all, I'm a psychiatric specialist, so I can still comfort you."
But Wonder just raised his head suddenly, grabbed Faust's hand and pulled him down.
The silver-haired young man staggered, and his body, which had been trying to stand firmly, lost its balance and fell to the ground again. Faust suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Wonder's voice was calmer than he expected: "I was just about to ask you what you wanted to do, didn't you hear me?"
Faust gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up and get away from this inexplicable madman, but Wonder held his wrist tightly and had no intention of letting go.
"Do you hate me?"
The Phantom Thief suddenly spoke.
Faust's expression changed instantly. He didn't understand why the emotions he had hidden so well were seen so clearly by the person in front of him in an instant.
"I'll know why you hate me, more than this..."
The young thief just stared at him coldly with his starry eyes: "Are you still pretending that you didn't hear it? How long will you continue to deceive yourself in this pathetic way?"
Faust suppressed his anger and said, "What do you mean? I don't understand."
Wonder sighed: "You are more cowardly than I thought. Are you still afraid to face the reality? Then let me be the bad guy. Anyway, you hate me for some reason."
Wonder leaned forward slightly, and Faust seemed to realize something. Cold ice began to spread around the two of them, but Wonder did not stop.
"I'll tell you the truth you don't want to know. I know you don't want to follow Queen's plan, so you endured and lurked until now to achieve your goal. But you just heard it, K knows everything."
Wonder took a deep breath and did not give Faust a chance to refuse. He spoke word by word, "K is the King who entered the Senate. He is the superior of the Queen. You should know better than me what all this means."
"Even if you feel that you have worked hard to escape fate and turned the underworld of death that is about to devour the entire world into a dream of death that you have transformed, for K and Q, this is still part of the plan written by the Senate!"
"Then what else do you want me to do?!"
"If I don't trap you in the land of death, your souls will become part of the DM system, a crazy game directed and performed by the Senate."
"It is much better to be a follower of death than to be the holy grail blood of the DM system."
Faust suddenly shouted loudly, slapping Wonder's hand away, his voice trembling: "The script written by those guys cannot be modified! They directly wrote the destruction and restart of this world into the Wheel of Fortune! Although I don't know how they did it... but nothing will change, everyone will become the energy for them to start a new era in extreme pain! What can I do? Sleeping forever in the dream of death is better than watching everyone I care about die in pain, and my soul is broken into the energy for others to become gods, and never be freed, right?!"
"As long as they are in the embrace of death, nothing can take their souls away!"
Faust sneered, his voice trembling so badly that it even became difficult for him to keep himself afloat, but he still tried to make himself look more majestic, at least the majesty of a mastermind.
Countless ghostly green threads continued to spread. Wonder looked up and saw that every corner of the Ink City was falling into a dream of death with the Skeleton Town as its center.
People fell asleep in the dark green mist. That was the real reality and also where Faust's soul particles were shrouded at the moment.
Faust sneered: "I haven't even asked you about your purpose in collecting the Ten Commandments, and now you're pretending to be a good guy?"
Wonder just chuckled when he heard this impolite question. His voice was still a little weak due to the severe pain just now, but he was very firm: "Originally I didn't know why I wanted to collect the Ten Commandments, but now I know that in order to achieve their goal, the Senate needs the power of the Ten Commandments. That's why they have been collecting these legendary things..."
Wonder sneered: "And I am here to destroy their purpose."
Faust's spiritual dream was successful enough, and T173 could not sense it, so Wonder became unusually relaxed, with a bit of youthful recklessness.
"I collected the Ten Commandments so that they could not succeed."
Faust was stunned, and the smile on Wonder's lips became more and more obvious. After being controlled by players for such a long time, he finally found his own path and gave a loud slap to those crazy people who watched others struggle and controlled other people's lives.
"Are you crazy? You want to confront them head-on? How is that possible?"
Faust didn't even react. He muttered these words as if he was completely unable to understand Wonder's madness.
"You...want to do that? It's impossible. Being able to save their souls in dreams is already the limit. We can't even--"
"Yes, I can."
Wonder said seriously: "Because it's me. I'm the key that the Senate is frantically looking for, so I can definitely do it."
Faust's pupils shrank slightly, and he felt like he couldn't breathe for a moment. Intense joy and spreading shame tore each other apart in his heart, and in the end, he only said a hoarse voice that didn't sound like him at all: "...I see. That's why Bai Ye never showed up in the underworld. I thought he fell into a space crack that even my soul particles couldn't cover. It turns out—"
"Yes, that's what you think. I can probably guess that you would rather go to such extremes than let me fall directly into the hands of the queen. The reason is that I am the most special existence in the Senate's plan."
Wonder sneered: "I'm afraid without me and the Ten Commandments token, they can't do anything."
Wonder looked at Faust, and this time his starry eyes were full of invitation: "The cooperation you reached with me as a cube must be honored, otherwise I will tell Teacher Red Heart and the others, and let your old friends laugh at you for the rest of your life."
Faust stared at Wonder in a daze, then quickly lowered his head. He was silent for a long time before he dared to look up at Wonder. His voice was somewhat bitter, "...I owe you an apology. Even if it was to prevent you from falling into the hands of the Queen and letting you be noticed by Red Heart, my methods were too extreme and ruined your life."
Faust gritted his teeth, and his body transformed from the soul body of memory to the body of reality: "Just now in the underworld, it was because my dream was not successfully constructed, so I could not escape the surveillance of the queen, and could only attack you. No matter what... no matter what, no matter how you want to retaliate against me, I will accept it."
Wonder stared at him until Faust, the owner of the psychic soul tag who was good at mind control, couldn't help but look away.
"Okay, that's it."
Just when Faust thought he was going to be torn to pieces by Wonder, Wonder suddenly laughed out loud. He picked up a playing card and stabbed it hard into Faust's shoulder. Blood dripped down Faust's shoulder. Faust looked at Wonder in astonishment. Although he did make a move, the wound caused by the playing card was not even one-tenth as serious as the one caused by Faust's ice spike.
"that's all?"
Faust looked at Wonder in disbelief: "You think this is how you vent your anger?"
Wonder shook his head: "Of course not, you have to agree to another condition of mine."
Faust took down the playing card, wiped off the blood on it, and sat up straight with a serious expression: "Please speak."
"Turn off your dreams. At least for a while."
Faust was stunned for a moment, and then he made sure that Wonder was not joking, and then he tried to change the other party's mind with a twisted expression: "If I turn it off now, the Senate who have noticed my betrayal will definitely take measures immediately. They will-"
Wonder shook his head: "No, the ultimate enemy is the Senate who wants to use souls to create gods. This is a fact we must face. You can't protect yourself and others in a dream and choose their death just because the enemy is too powerful."
"It doesn't matter even if it's the Senate." Wonder smiled and said, "We will definitely succeed in defeating the Senate. If we fail, you can open your dream again and pull everyone into the underworld to prevent the Senate from achieving its goal."
Faust, who was denied, sneered: "This is the best way, at least the best way so far. You can't even break my dream, how can you make me believe that you can do it."
Before he finished speaking, the golden threads had already torn apart the surrounding dark green barrier. Faust widened his eyes again, and the next second, You Yu's iconic laughter appeared very close to him.
"Wonder?! Are you there?!"
Youyu's figure was getting closer and closer, Faust could feel not only him, but also the water color, lily of the valley, red heart, and even emerald... No one chose to indulge in the dream of death, everyone woke up and tore apart the dark green mist.
The dream... was shattered?
Wonder smiled: "I just said, you have to trust Youyu and the others."
"Is this your plan? You hold me back while those guys are out there looking for ways to destroy the dream? To be honest, it's not a very smart plan."
Faust turned his head sharply.
"As long as it's useful." The smile on the thief's mouth was almost exactly the same as Youyu's.
It is a fusion of absolute self-confidence and assertiveness.
