After recognizing who the leader in the mural was, Klein subconsciously suspected that this was the content of his dream.
However, he quickly rejected this idea, because the unfortunate Anderson was not anyone he knew, nor was he anyone he had ever met or had an impression of, and it was highly unlikely that he was an extension of his dream.
Anderson clearly said that he became unlucky because of seeing the mural, and he had a strong connection with the mural, so this must be part of his dream!
Gathering his mind and looking carefully again, Klein quickly discovered that the murals here were different from the murals that Little Sun had seen in the abandoned temple of the True Creator.
The background here is a sea burning with golden flames, while the previous one was a barren and dead plain;
The destination here is the depths of the sea, and the previous one was a high mountain in the distance, with a huge cross and an upside-down person on the top of the mountain;
Here, the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroboros has black mud under his feet and fish with their heads inserted into it upside down, while the previous one was a winding river.
It’s not the same mural, but more like a record of different stages of a pilgrimage... Klein nodded with some guesswork.
The following scene has emerged in his mind:
Long ago, at a certain time in the Fourth Epoch, Ouroboros, the Tail-Swallower, led a group of devout pilgrims or the remaining followers of the True Creator, and came to this sea area by ship, chased by many powerful enemies.
For some reason, He abandoned the ship and, relying on the help of the "True Creator" or his own power, directly split the sea and led the devout through here and into the "God-forsaken Land", preserving the flames of organizations such as the "Redemption Rose" and the "Aurora Society";
In the "Land Forsaken by Gods", they crossed the barren plains and built temples on the "pilgrimage" route, which were the same kind that little "Sun" and his friends later discovered.
Judging from the fact that the "Mercury Snake" Will Auceptin was forced to restart his cycle and reversed into an embryo, the "Tail Devourer" should still be alive... Does this mean that He led those "pilgrims" to finally reach their destination - the sanctuary of the "True Creator"? Does this mean that the sanctuary of the "True Creator" is somewhere in the "Forsaken Land of God"? Thinking of this, Klein suddenly had some inexplicable feelings:
If my guess is correct, it means that no matter how the "Silver City" saves itself or passes on the torch, when the "True Creator" fully wakes up or returns to normal, they will inevitably perish!
When you are very close to the evil god's kingdom and sanctuary, your existence has nothing to do with your own efforts!
It's like the foam stirred up by the surging sea water; when the wave passes, it will disappear.
The human race and human civilization are so fragile under the gaze of the evil god.
"No, we can't be so pessimistic. I was just guessing. Maybe it wasn't Ouroboros who caused Will Auceptin, the Speaker of the School of Life, to reincarnate. Maybe the 'True Creator' won't be able to recover or wake up so easily. He may be under the seal of the Seven Gods...
“So, Silver City still has a chance to open up the road between the ‘God-Forsaken Land’ and the outside world and move out before the evil god breaks free! This is probably why the chief of Silver City wants to release the ‘Shepherd’ elder. They must use every bit of power they can…” Klein forced himself to retract his thoughts.
He immediately became a little worried, fearing that by coming here he had fallen into the "loop of fate" created by the "Tail Devourer".
At this moment, he instinctively wanted to walk four steps backwards, into the gray fog, and forcibly retrieve the memories that might have been erased. But in the end, he suppressed this impulse and decided to observe first.
From the perspective of interpreting symbolic symbols, there is no circulating river here, only black mud with fish stuck upside down, which represents that there is no cycle of fate, only the entanglement of bad luck!
This is consistent with what Anderson said!
"As the king of angels, Ouroboros certainly doesn't have only one move, 'Cycle of Fate'. It's completely logical that different temples and murals use different abilities... Besides, this is a dream!
“Moreover, even if I did nothing and really fell into a loop, constantly repeating the conversation with the ‘Admiral of the Stars’ and the experience of planning to observe, the problem can be solved when next Monday comes. By then, the Tarot Club will definitely not be able to be held as scheduled. Miss ‘Justice’ and the others will definitely pray in confusion, and I will be able to use this to regain my memory…” Klein suddenly felt confident, and the panic and tension in his heart either disappeared or were hidden deep inside.
He raised his head and looked forward, and found that the hall was very deep, with no end in sight. The light coming in from the door was only limited to the entrance, and the rest of the place was quite dim. The deeper he went, the darker it got. He could only vaguely see wooden doors on both sides, but he didn't know where they led to.
Looking at this deep and dark scene, Klein's desire to continue exploring dropped to the lowest point:
"Here we have encountered the murals left by the Angel King. Who knows what will happen if we go deeper and enter other rooms..."
The fear of the unknown is an extremely ancient emotion. Being able to foresee danger but not knowing where it comes from is the unknown that can bring the strongest fear. Klein examined himself for a few seconds and stopped moving forward.
He turned to Anderson, who was chopping the huge tree with an axe:
"Why are you here?"
Anderson looked up at him and sneered:
“I’m a treasure hunter.
"What do you think I'm doing here?"
Treasure hunter... Klein asked casually:
"Is there a treasure here?"
Anderson continued to work on the so-called canoe, and his voice suddenly became deeper:
“This sea is filled with treasures.
"As long as you can get it successfully and get out alive."
That’s true... But the problem is, if you’re not a demigod, it would be very dangerous here, and a demigod would be even more dangerous here... Klein looked into the depths of the hall and said:
"Do you know what's there?"
Anderson followed his gaze and took a look:
"have no idea.
"At least one-third of my companions formed a team, went there to explore, and never came back."
"Do you mean the real world or the dream?" Klein asked carefully.
Bang!
After the axe fell, Anderson smiled and said:
“Of course it’s the real world.
"The other one-third of my companions explored forward in the dream, and they also did not come back."
…Klein took a breath, thought for a moment, and said:
"Where are their real-world bodies?"
"It mutated into a monster and killed many of its companions." Anderson pulled out the axe and chopped it down hard.
when!
With a crisp sound, his axe broke into two pieces. Because the break was at the back, the fragments flew onto his body.
Fresh red blood immediately flowed out of Anderson's right chest and abdomen like a spring.
He covered a wound with his left hand, raised his head, looked at Klein, and smiled bitterly:
“I said that after I saw that mural, I have been shrouded in bad luck.
"Fortunately, it's not too bad. At least they didn't ruin my ordinary handsome face."
...How did these two adjectives come together? Klein watched Anderson quickly remove the fragments, treat the wound, and take the potion. He found that he was emotionally stable and skilled, as if he was used to it.
Klein put one hand in his pocket, playing with the coins inside, and asked carefully:
"While your companions were exploring, you and the rest of them stayed behind to study the murals?"
Anderson was stunned for a moment, tied the medicine bag back to his belt, wiped his mouth and said:
"No.
“I belong to the one third that explores forward.”
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth gradually widened, revealing a warm smile.
This... Klein's pupils shrank, and he slightly arched his back and raised his left palm.
At this moment, the dazzling sunlight shone, everything was bright white at first, then faded and disappeared.
Klein opened his eyes naturally and found that it was noon again outside.
He took out his gold-cased pocket watch, opened it and took a look:
"Only half an hour has passed. This dark night is a bit short...
"That unlucky Anderson just now looked normal, but I didn't expect him to be so scary!"
After getting out of bed, Klein suddenly remembered one thing: the "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin had not yet "replied"!
Was it because everyone's dreams were pulled into that world and not connected to the spirit world that He couldn't locate it? Or, did He sense the aura of the Tail Devourer Ouroboros and dare not approach? Or, was there something wrong with this sea area itself? As his thoughts turned, Klein decided to verify it.
As for how to verify it, the method is very simple, that is to go back to sleep at "noon".
However, he was not in a hurry to do so because he didn't know if there was any taboo against sleeping during the day here.
After putting on his baseball cap, Klein walked outside the captain's room and knocked on the door.
After three knocks, he withdrew his hand and waited patiently.
Not long after, "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya opened the door.
The confusion from the dream was gone from her face, and she put on her thick glasses again.
"Can I sleep during the day?" Klein asked bluntly.
Cattleya nodded:
"Can."
After answering, she hesitated and said:
"Just now in the dream, you seemed very active?"
Thinking of the dangers hidden in this sea area and that he might be forced to reveal something later, Klein decided to take the initiative to lay the groundwork.
He looked at Cattleya and smiled politely:
"Yes.
“This is a gift from my Lord.”
My Lord... There was a noticeable flicker in Cattleya's eyes hidden behind her thick glasses.
She frowned, which was rare for her, but then relaxed without asking any further questions.
Klein thought for a moment and added:
"Be careful Heath Doyle."
Cattleya obviously understood what he meant and answered directly:
"Don't worry, he has a sealed item, and the negative effect makes him only hear sounds that come from very close to the source."
This is a clever use of negative effects... Klein stopped talking, took off his hat, saluted, turned around and left, walking back to the room.
He lay down again and once again fell asleep with the help of meditation.
In the dream world, he woke up and saw the familiar dark wasteland and dark spires.
Phew, luckily, we can get in touch... Klein breathed a sigh of relief and walked all the way to the tower. He saw scattered tarot cards and new handwriting in the old place:
“There are many dangers out there, but the most dangerous is the dream after night falls.
“This doesn’t mean that you will disappear if you don’t sleep, but you must remember one thing:
“Don’t explore that dream!
“Never explore that dream!
"Since there is not enough space here, I will not explain the reason. Well, just kidding, the reason is that it contains some dreams left by some gods."
