“He is coming.”
In the Tianjin Underground Research Institute, a deep voice was heard among the scattered spirits.
"The General Staff is already waiting for your news."
"All major war zones, including the Yellow River and Yangtze River, are also on standby."
Mr. Chuan, who was covered in bandages and wearing a cloak, reported slowly and leisurely. You Jian asked impatiently, "Where is He? You don't have to do anything. I will lead the team to kill Him!"
Ren Zuo lazily sat on the seat of scattered spirits and said calmly: "He does not exist in reality. No matter how sharp your sword is, it cannot have the slightest effect on Him."
You Jian frowned slightly, and his hunched back slowly straightened up. "So we can only watch Him arrive? Where is He?"
“Almost.” Ren Zuo said, “If the Watcher gave me the correct information, He is now in a dreamland between reality and illusion.”
"We can't get in? You can't get in either?"
Ren Zuo shook his head: "Don't think too highly of me. I can't even fully analyze the secrets of the soul. This kind of dream trial that is beyond the current cultivation system and out of touch with reality, I can't intervene for a while. The army and other extraordinary people also don't have the ability to intervene."
"So what should we do?"
Inquiring voices came from several screens. Ren Zuo looked at the distant parties on the screens and said calmly, "Wait."
"Wait?!" Someone was puzzled: "So we just watch that 'god' with unknown purpose come to Earth and control our dreams?"
"yes."
"Every one of us needs to sleep and may dream. There are almost no spells that can control dreams... so aren't we just at the mercy of others?!"
"no."
Ren Zuo said: "You are the ones who let yourself be slaughtered, but I won't."
Seeing their stunned looks, Ren Zuo raised a smile and said, "Humans are ultimately made up of matter and soul. No matter how powerful that god is or how well he can use dreams, if he wants to hurt me, he will either attack my body or my soul."
"Unfortunately, although I don't have any special abilities, this nearly two months of seclusion has already allowed my cyclone to reach the upper limit of the world. My body and soul are always at the peak state allowed by the world..."
“No matter how strong he is, if he dares to extend his claws into reality, I will chop him up one by one. Even if there are a hundred of them, I will drag him out of his rat’s nest!”
The arrogance and confidence in Ren Zuo's tone made everyone silent. You Jian couldn't help but ask: "What realm have you reached now? Seventh turn? Eighth turn? Or..."
Someone said, "Honorable Master Ren, we have no doubt about your strength, but we are not you. We have no defense against that strange existence. What if He deliberately avoids you and controls other mortals instead?"
"Letting people die in their dreams is already a relatively good outcome. What if He can control humans through dreams? Most humans nowadays are just mortals, not monks. Moreover, monks may not be able to resist the control of dreams."
"Although the Asgard and the World Tree may not sit idly by, but... we can't pin our hopes on extraordinary organizations outside the world."
Faced with their worries, Ren Zuo was a little stunned.
“Hmm…” Ren Zuo rubbed his temple, smiled and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t make it clear.”
"I just said, 'I can't get involved for a while.'"
"To put it another way, if you give me a little more time," Ren Zuo said calmly, "I can find the so-called dream and kill the alien directly."
Ren Zuo's credibility and power are beyond doubt, and everyone is finally relieved. However, people always talk to each other, and someone asked: "According to the intelligence of the Watcher, although the god may be evil, the trial seems to be real. Can humans really control dreams and become gods? If so, Ren Zuo, do you think we can..."
"puff."
Ren Zuo couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "You seem to have some misunderstandings about 'dreams'. Do you think that 'dreams' are similar to spiritual energy and are a resource that can be utilized?"
You Jian asked curiously, "Isn't it? And this is a resource created by us humans. Now I don't know if the spiritual energy is a mutation from the farts we humans have released over the past few decades, but dreams must be made up of our dissipated spiritual energy, right?"
“Yes, and no.” Ren Zuo shook his finger: “You Jian, and you too, are too far from my realm, so there are some things you can’t see… But, I can feel that “He” is here, and I can also feel that the so-called dream also has its own will.”
Everyone was slightly startled, You Jian frowned: "All things have spirits?"
Ren Zuo nodded: "If dreams are really resources that anyone can harvest, then why would there be apostles entering dreams? I don't know the significance of apostles to dreams, but the apostles were definitely not summoned by that alien.
According to the intelligence from the Watchers, the apostles have many combat powers in the dream, and when all the apostles die, aliens will come.
Therefore, the apostles were most likely summoned through dreams and used as weapons to fight against aliens!
Do you think that a resource that can only sit and wait for death will have such a sense of self-protection? Will it summon an apostle to protect itself?
Dreams may not be able to think, but since they would refuse to be controlled by aliens, why do you think they would be willing to be controlled by humans?"
You Jian was stunned for a moment: "Because dreams are dreamed up by us Earthlings... Of course we Earthlings are qualified!"
"Then if aliens come to Earth and sleep for a few days, wouldn't they also be qualified to control dreams like the people on Earth?"
Ren Zuo leaned back in his chair, facing everyone's gaze, sighed, and said, "We humans should neither be too self-deprecating nor too self-conceited."
“We are neither servants nor masters.”
"Dreams are actually no different from demons, monsters, ghosts, and other beings that are different from humans. It's just that their life forms are incomprehensible to us."
"Ordinary demons and monsters are relatively weak, so we can still manage them, but for powerful beings like dreams, we'd better put them on an equal footing and cooperate with them."
The people on the screen were silent, and someone said, "Then can we contact it...?"
"If it is really the dream of the people of the world, then it must know the current living conditions of aliens on the earth." Ren Zuo looked at Mr. Chuan and said, "When Xiao Chuan can appear on TV openly to represent the Great Wall, maybe it will take the initiative to contact us."
Finally, Ren Zuo heard a satisfactory answer: "...We will advance the "Xuan Guo Magical Resident Identity Card Regulations" as soon as possible."
Ren Zuo was secretly happy, but his face remained calm.
Take your time and don't rush.
How can we knock on the door of the fairy palace without creating a prosperous era?
I will create a world where we can live together.
Nine-tailed fox, just wait for me in the fairy palace!
Ren Zuo, who was only 22 years old, was immersed in his ambitious plan.
"So," You Jian suddenly asked, "dreams may not be kind to us humans?"
Ren Zuo came back to his senses: "It may have good intentions. It summoned apostles to resist aliens, which means it trusts Earthlings more."
"However, if the people on Earth also want to master it... it's like when a bunch of relatives come to your house for a party, but the relatives' children suddenly want to rush into your bedroom and destroy it. Do you think you will still have good intentions towards the relatives' children?"
…
…
"Is this all part of your plan, Yinyue?"
Ren Suo stepped on the distorted and illusory rooftop of a high-rise building, glanced at the silver moon hanging high above his head, jumped forward but fell on the road, continued to climb up but walked into a European-style castle.
The closer you get to the silvery ball of light, the more severe the distortion of the dark side of the moon becomes. In the end, tall buildings and houses are piled together in a mess on the ground. When you turn the corner, you will suddenly see a lake with a few houses floating on the lake and a tall building on top of the houses. It is more abstract than a Picasso painting - you will definitely go crazy if you stay here for a little longer.
But Ren Suo didn't care about the absurdity in front of him at all. Although the road was twisted, the silver-white ball of light was motionless in the distance. He used all his strength to activate "Ghost Sprint" and "Magician's Feather of Immortality" to overcome the obstacles.
He was reviewing the game content of "Hunting Night" and the new information revealed by Luna.
In the game, Luna can obtain a miracle without cost by using the genuine "Miracle Full Moon". At that time, Ren Suo thought it was a gift from the dark side of the moon and took the initiative to eliminate Luna's cost.
After all, the miracles Luna obtained were extremely powerful, and if they came at a price, they would certainly be extremely difficult to deal with, but she had to fight the nearly invincible monster Moon God. If the miracles she obtained came at a price, unless the miracle was to instantly kill the monster Moon God, Luna would not be able to hold out for dozens of rounds until the dark side of the moon awakened all the apostles in dream death.
However, Ren Suo only now realized that Luna's use of "Miracle Full Moon" also came at a price.
The price is her memory.
In fact, it was an illusion for Ren Suo to think that "Miracle Full Moon" had no price: his "Miracle Full Moon" that required a price was actually the authentic version, while Luna's "Miracle Full Moon" was a personal exclusive version.
要是小世界游戏机给了他残缺版的能力，肯定会标注出来，就像他以前的分身能力「斗争战士（残）」。
只是任索在游玩的时候，一直都处于第三人称视角，根本无法感受到露娜的情绪，才错判为露娜的「奇迹满月」没有代价。
然而仔细一想，代价是记忆这件事却是非常合理：在月之暗面，他们的肉身都并非实体，他们除了自己的灵魂外，根本没有其他可以支付代价的资本。
月之暗面要让露娜在全盛状态下与怪物月神战斗，又要露娜付出代价，那自然是只能消耗露娜的灵魂记忆。
唯一的问题是——
为什么月之暗面不帮露娜支付代价？露娜可是与怪物月神进行最终决战，如果露娜失败的话，月之暗面可就直接陷落了。
是月之暗面无法帮露娜支付代价，还是根本就是故意的？
任索根本没办法验证自己的想法，但他知道最后的结果：露娜消耗所有记忆，化为一片空白，成功执掌月之暗面封神。
如果这一切真的是月之暗面的安排……
任索感到一阵毛骨悚然：月之暗面召唤了二十八名试图对抗杀戮月神，发现露娜获取了杀戮月神的大部分能力，并且要杀戮月神进行最后的决战，便赐予露娜足以对抗杀戮月神的「奇迹满月」，但却将代价恒定为‘消除记忆’。
到最后，露娜取得了胜利，但也化为一张白纸，不仅无法掌控月之暗面，反而是很有可能与月之暗面融为一体。
月之暗面未必有思考能力，它这种举动，可能是一种保护自己的本能。
现在铠甲、穿山甲、青龙偃月刀等等乱七八糟的东西都能变成有智慧的妖怪，相比下来，月之暗面变成一个有防御本能的特殊灵气存在，并不出奇。
那么，小世界游戏机知不知道月之暗面的阴谋呢？
它肯定是知道的。
小世界游戏机能将原版「奇迹满月」奖励给任索，就代表它完全洞悉月之暗面的布置。
它为什么不出手？
任索稍微一想就得出答案了。
首先，只是小世界游戏机的能力很玄乎，你说它很强的吧，也的确很强，能预知所有将要发生的未来；你说它很弱的吧，也确实很弱，除了任索控制的游戏角色外，它几乎没有其他影响现实的途径。
其次，也是最重要的——小世界游戏机，判定这个结局是美好的，它接受这个结局。
月之暗面虽然获得空白的露娜，但露娜从始至终都是任索的游戏角色。
因此，月之暗面终究是落到小世界游戏机，落到任索手上。
至于露娜的想法，露娜的情绪，露娜的记忆，那就不是小世界游戏机会考虑的事项。
轰隆！
一道白光飞过，若不是任索机警迅速后退一步，差点就被一剑两断了。
任索真是万分感谢这份不知从何而来的战斗素养，又或者他的天赋真的是在战斗上？
反正，当他看见自己的敌人是一名杀机凛然的白发道士时，心里居然一点害怕都没有。
哪怕这个道士的相貌明显就是玄国目前最为热门超级强者，四转修士，道士游戬！
“连他陷入狂暴化了吗……”任索看见游戬双眼里的血光，心知这次命运终于对他这只可怜的小绵羊下手了。
普通NPC会被杀戮月神的气息污染，那么英雄联盟的强大修士自然也会被污染！
任索并不认为自己能打得过游戬，但目前这个游戬又不是真游戬，而且还陷入狂暴化，他稍微试探了一下，发现游戬的攻击方式极为单调，飞剑的操控也很迟钝，任索想要躲避并不难。
但任索想要击杀游戬那就是扯谈，他的法术连击碎游戬的护体法术都做不到。
游戬在现实里可是万里长城第一高手，任索相信，就算他晋升四转，也肯定会被游戬单方面吊打，就像他会被东承灵乔木依单方面吊打一样。
因此任索只好一边躲避飞剑一边往银白光球赶路，就当做后面有条狗追着。放在游戏里，说不定他会多出一个【移动速度+10%】之类的buff。
然而祸不单行，任索跑着跑着，远远看见前面居然冒出一个光芒四耀的精英boss——炽天使！
炽天使明显就是守望者天使扎克的投影，实力极为恐怖，虽然天使扎克每次出场都被人吊打，但他就是很强，肯定能碾碎任索。
任索想避开炽天使，但炽天使却是不停往他这边靠近。等距离稍微近一点，任索才看见居然炽天使是在追杀十个人！
被炽天使追杀的十人也看见任索，一名红发女远远喊道：“蓝魔女的奸夫！”
任索脸色一黑，心想你喊恋人都好啊，丈夫也行，大不了男朋友了，为什么就指定是奸夫这个充满渣男气息的称呼？
红发女看见任索背后的道士，喊道：“道士游戬……？引他们两个相遇，看他们会不会打起来！”
“好！”
于是他们两伙人慢慢逃到同一条路上，看道士和炽天使会不会打起来。毕竟守望者和万里长城只是明面上合作，背后可是恨不得对方全组织跌入屎坑淹死，好让自己独占地球第一超凡势力的称号。
然而，并没有。
接下来便是道士和炽天使追杀他们十一个人，虽然这两位精英BOSS狂暴化后，几乎毫无技术性可言，但他们的硬实力实在太强了，他们十一个人被打得抱头鼠窜。
任索继续往银白光球方向逃跑，红发女顿时急了——任索跑得比他们快，他们如果不跟着任索跑，那游戬和炽天使就会只追杀他们十个了！
红发女大声问道：“你跑回去干什么？我们刚从那里逃出来，那里很危险！”
“我要回去救人。”
“救谁？救蓝魔女？”
红女发笑了：“蓝魔女都要封神了，她哪还需要你救？”
“她不想封神。”任索说道：“封神就是一个阴谋，一个月神与月之暗面编织的阴谋。”
“我不管那么多，你快点将道士引走！”红发女冷声说道：“这是你的敌人。”
任索转过头看了她一眼：“吔屎啦你。”
红发女愣了：“你说什……”
“吔屎啦你。”任索向她比了个中指：“我看起来很像老实人吗？”
红发女怒了：“我是联邦守望者米兰德，等我回到现实……”
“那你知道我是谁吗？”任索冷笑一声。
米兰德眼神一凛，她认真观察了一下任索，“你是谁？所有人进入月之暗面都调整过容貌，与现实有一定分别，我认不出你。”
难道蓝魔女的奸夫是哪个超级强者？
又或者是玄国隐藏的王牌修士？
就在米兰德思考的时候，任索呵呵一笑：“我就知道你不认识我，我就看看你回到现实怎么找我麻烦。”
米兰德微微错愕，旋即恼羞成怒：“那我就不回到现实里，我现在就让你知道得罪守望者是什么下场——”
“闭嘴。”
跑在他们面前的任索回过头，平静地看了他们一眼。
眼神里的淡漠杀机，刺得米兰德将嗓子眼里的脏话都吞回去了。
米兰德遍体生寒，全身颤栗。
被狂暴化的道士和炽天使追杀，都没让她感觉到生命危险，但蓝魔女奸夫的杀机，真的让她感觉到自己会陨落在这里。
那双眼，甚至让她想起某个曾经吊打队长天使扎克的神秘存在。
任索深吸一口气，继续在扭曲的世界左拐右拐，解释道：“我要回去救她，我不会逃的。”
米兰德沉默片刻，问道：“蓝魔女都拿到25枚银月之晶，即将要成为月之暗面的神灵……你想怎么救她？”
“走过去，抱她走。”
米兰德忍不住笑了：“你为什么会这么想？蓝魔女都要封神了，她还会跟你走？”
“因为她在向我求救，”任索看了米兰德一眼，平静回答道：“她不想封神，她想和我回家。”
察觉到任索眼神里的认真，米兰德收敛笑容，面无表情问道：“你凭什么？”
米兰德虽然不知道任索的实力，但她可以确定，任索绝对没到四转修为。
如果蓝魔女无法自己中止封神仪式，那他又有什么办法救蓝魔女？
任索摸了摸胸口的银月之晶，深吸一口气：“奇迹。”
米兰德挑了挑眉：“你是使徒？”
“不是。”
“……”
沉默片刻后，米兰德忽然对他说道：“我们帮你引走炽天使和道士。”
此话一出，任索和其他人都惊讶了。
“为什么？”任索不解。
“如果你能阻止蓝魔女封神，那也符合我们联邦，我们守望者的利益。”米兰德说道：“既然我们得不到，那就也别让其他人得到。”
这个理由确实很有道理，任索点点头：“谢谢。”
"That's a secondary reason. The main reason is that I think you're quite handsome." Mirande winked at Ren Suo. "I'm the Watcher Mirande. My cell phone number is XXXXXXXXX. You can have dinner with me when you get back."
Ren Suo blinked, then said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "You want me to contact you, and then you can find out my real identity and cause trouble for me, right?"
"Hey? How come you... Of course not, I'm telling the truth." Mirande quickly denied it, waved to him with a smile, and changed direction with the other watchers, leading the Taoist priest and Seraphim away.
Without the pursuers, Ren Suo could finally travel without worries. But the twisted dark side of the moon was too difficult to walk, and Ren Suo still took a lot of time jumping up and down.
At this time, Ren Suo saw a ray of moonlight piercing through the silver-white ball of light in the distance.
At the same time, a ray of moonlight also shone on Ren Suo.
Ren Suo immediately activated the "Miracle Full Moon" and immediately saw the miracle wishing machine start to work.
First row of patterns: Luna wearing a yellow light-striped vest.
Second row of patterns: +1.
Third column pattern: +1.
Running once is not enough, the miracle wishing machine starts running for the second time!
The first row of patterns: Ren Suo dressed very handsomely.
Second row of patterns: +1.
Third row pattern: +1.
Ren Suo's consciousness fell into the memory tunnel, and in the blink of an eye the distorted world turned into a joyful playground. Gu Yueyan stood beside him and looked at him in surprise. Luna stood on tiptoe and hugged Ren Suo, and pecked his lips quickly with her little mouth.
That was the memory of Luna performing the Moon Ritual with him.
However, darkness appeared unexpectedly, engulfing the playground, the pedestrians, and Gu Yueyan, leaving only Ren Suo and Luna.
But this time Luna didn't say a word, her eyes were full of reluctance. She hugged Ren Suo gently, and just like in her memory, she gave him a long wet kiss.
A little sweet, a little salty. The sweetness is because of her lips, and the saltiness is because of her tears.
When Ren Suo returned to reality, he fell to the ground from his rapid movement and rolled several times. He lay on the ground retching continuously. He endured the chaos in his mind that was like the appointment of the Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms, and stood up tremblingly.
He heard the sound of Luna being hit by the monster Moon Goddess, and her bones and flesh all let out a muffled groan.
He remembered that Luna did not die this time, but just lost 99% of her blood.
Only 99% of the blood was lost...
Ren Suo did not regret his past decision in the game. He was just using Luna to tell himself that the pain in his head was nothing.
That’s right, Small World Game Console really doesn’t care about Luna.
But it kindly gave Ren Suo an option.
It left a foreshadowing in the game, giving Ren Suo a "Miracle Full Moon". It was just up to Ren Suo to decide what to do.
Ren Suo can choose to watch the play play out quietly, but he can also choose to take another path, a path that has never been woven in the game, a path that has never been confirmed by his own eyes, a path where life and death are uncertain.
"You didn't deserve this ending, and I will never let my game end in tragedy."
Ren Suo managed to maintain his body shape, then immediately activated the "Magician's Feather of Immortality from Standing Still" to move at high speed, using the pain to speed up his awakening.
Looking at the silver-white ball of light getting closer and closer, Ren Suo once again unleashed the "Magician's Feather of Immortality from Standing Still" and risked his muscles bursting in order to cross the barely traversable and rugged road in front of him!
He couldn't be late without the game console to help him.
It is very rude to make a girl wait for you.
"I don't know if this is love or not. After all, I seem to have similar feelings towards Cheng Ling, Mu Gongzi, and Yue Yan... If this is love, then I am such a scumbag."
"Besides, you and I have only known each other for a few days, and you are my game character. Although you and I have done a lot of things that only lovers do...but normally speaking, my feelings for you are at most just lustful."
"only……"
"only……"
There was another obstacle of a building that looked like ruins. Ren Suo did not hesitate and once again unleashed the "Magician's Feather of Immortality from Standing Still". The internal organs in his chest began to ache redly.
Although Ren Suo found many excuses for himself, he was still very aware of a helpless fact.
Small World Arcade doesn't care about Luna.
But he cares.
