"Wayne, you want to bring people from the inner world back to the outer world?"
"Is it possible?"
Three faces looked at Delain at the same time, waiting for her answer.
The Moonlight Knight of the surface world, a powerful man who cannot be replicated by the mirror, can enter and exit the inner world freely. Delain's next words will determine the fate of William and Philomena.
"impossible!"
Delain shook his head and pointed to the top of his head and said, "The inner world is the mirror space. The magic world calls it the reverse world of the surface world. This is a wrong name."
"The mirror space has already revealed everything. The world in the mirror is illusory and unreal. Even if the life in the inner world is projected onto the human world, it can only exist within the projected space."
"The real inner world is a stabilizer for the outer world. Because the inner world extracts negative information, people living in the outer world are not affected by the chaos of the void. Do you understand what I mean?"
William and Philomena were so disheartened that they slumped in their chairs without any life. Wayne couldn't bear their dejected looks and said bitterly, "Is there no possibility at all? There is a saying in the other world that if you become a demigod, you can transcend."
“An escapist statement.”
Delain first qualified this statement, and then continued: "You should be able to see that the eyes of everyone here are red. The God's Chosen Artifact can guarantee their sanity, but it cannot sever their connection with the other world, and there is no way to make them real."
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Delain shook his head: "I know this is cruel, but this is the reality. I don't want to make up a beautiful lie for you. Without the outer world, there would be no inner world. If the mirror in the sky is broken, the inner world will disappear as well."
And this world has collapsed and reorganized many times.
William and Philomena didn't listen to these words. Wayne was silent for a moment and asked, "How did the inner world appear? Was it a mirror forged by the goddess and the father to protect their beliefs in the outer world?"
"I'm not sure about that. Anyway, the inner world appeared a long time ago. It should be a kind of self-protection mechanism of the world. The void is too dangerous, and the outer world needs a mirror to stabilize itself."
Delane looked at William and Philomena apologetically, and said to Wayne, "I know what you want to do. You saw familiar faces and wanted to change the tragedy that happened to them. I tried it before, but when I came back the next time, the new world gods was still half dead. The Chosen Knights have no ability to change a world, and the... may not be able to do it either."
The word "maybe" is a bit euphemistic. No means no. Delain said this out of respect for his own beliefs.
The topic was too heavy and directly sentenced William and Philomena to death. The two remained silent and Wayne didn't know how to comfort them.
He came from the surface world and could leave with Delain. Anything he said at this time would be asking for a beating.
I could only follow the trend and ask, "Delaine, have you been to the other world many times?"
"Yes, the goddess' mission."
"Can you tell me about it?"
"Originally it was not possible. Now that you have come to the other world and seen the situation here, it is okay to tell you. Just remember not to spread it, otherwise it will be very difficult for me to handle it."
Delain said: "In the other world, there is Bai Ye Zhen Yan..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly realized and guessed that it was Wayne who changed the owner of Bai Ye Zhen Yan that day, and looked at him approvingly.
Good boy, I can see your devotion to the moonlight. You are a qualified heir.
Delain did not expand on this topic, fearing that Wayne would take out the Elemental Mantra again while asking. Combined with the Dawn Mantra next to it, this guy was also chosen by the three gods in the other world.
The scene was so disturbing that Delain didn't want to watch it.
She continued, "The Byakuya Sadako of the two worlds is different. The Byakuya Sadako of the inner world will not disappear with the destruction of the world. This may be the origin of the rumor. Because of this anchor point, I can enter the inner world as a Moonlight Knight."
"Mura, Leo, and I have all carried out the same mission, entering the other world to collect negative information."
"What's the point of collecting negative information?"
"I don't know. This is not something I should ask."
Delain pondered for a moment and said, "Collecting negative information can delay the collapse of the inner world and reduce the number of times the inner world collapses and restarts. Perhaps it is the mercy of the goddess, or it may be to protect the surface world."
“Where does the negative information you collected go?”
"Being taken back to the Kingdom of God by the God's messenger, he should have returned to the void..."
Delain didn't know much information. She was just a knight, completing the tasks assigned by the Moonlight Goddess. It would be useless to ask about things beyond her ability.
Instead of creating trouble for yourself, it is better to live in confusion.
"Delaine, can you take away all the negative information from the other world?"
"Of course not. There is endless negative information. I can only collect a part of it." Delain pointed to the bottomless abyss behind her. When the negative information is filled, her mission will be completed.
Wayne stared at the abyss, and with his mind induction, the entire abyss was a vase-shaped container used to carry negative information. And it only goes in but not out. The Book of Greed stared at the vase. If it wanted to swallow it, it had to learn from the mouse entering the rice warehouse, and Wayne would go directly into the bottle.
"The God-chosen Knights can only collect some negative information. Most of the negative information still remains in the other world..."
Wayne wondered, "The question is, after the inner world collapsed, where did all this negative information go? Did it return to the void?"
“It’s gone.”
"Disappeared?"
Wayne was even more puzzled: "How could it disappear out of thin air? There must be a place where it went, right?"
"Good question. I don't know either."
“…”
"That's the truth. The new inner world is no different from the outer world in the initial stage. Except for some transcendent beings that cannot be copied, everything else is exactly the same as looking in a mirror. With the influence of negative information, this world is getting darker and darker, and more and more desperate."
At this point, Delain couldn't help but sigh: "The negative information that once existed no longer exists. If it was destroyed along with the collapse of the inner world, this is probably the reason why the inner world exists. She protects the surface world."
"Has that been enough?"
Philomena slammed the table and stared at Delain with red eyes. Every word of the latter was like a sharp knife, cutting her already bruised body and making it bleed profusely.
"The life in the outer world is life, and the life in the inner world is also life. I have never been illusory, and I have never thought of dedicating myself to the outer world!"
Philomena pulled out her Full Moon pistol and pulled the trigger repeatedly at Delain as if to vent her anger, but none of them hit her.
Delain did not dodge because Philomena did not dare to actually shoot her. She was furious for a few moments, then turned aside, drew out her Crescent Moon single-edged sword and chopped at the black rocks.
During this time, Delain and Wayne were both silent.
After a while, Wayne said, "Delaine, have you ever experienced the collapse of the other world?"
"Not really. If the world collapses, it will be difficult for me to leave. It's too dangerous."
Delain shook her head slightly, blaming Wayne for giving hope to Philomena and William. She had done the same before, trying to catch the moon in the water, which only added to the regret and further magnified the despair.
Delain didn't say these words. Being kind is a good thing, and she hoped Wayne would continue to be kind. She gave him a look, asking him to comfort his girlfriend.
You are so good at coaxing women, just keep lying to them, and enjoy yourself for as long as you can.
Wayne's scalp tingled. He was a scumbag, not a human scum. He couldn't bring himself to make false promises no matter what.
"Since the world is destined to be destroyed, let's play cards until the world is destroyed. I would rather welcome the destruction in happiness than in pain. Negative information can destroy the world, but it can't destroy me." William suddenly spoke.
Delain looked at William in surprise. "You can say such things and actively spread optimism to the outside world. It's a pity that you in the surface world are not the successor of the Sun Knight."
Maybe she really is!
Wayne looked at William. Was it possible that his interference interrupted Willy's process of becoming the Sun Knight?
The family background of the Sun Knight Squire and the training of Valkyrie are all potential evidences...
That's not right. If it weren't for him, Willy would have died in the town of Kafuno and would not have been able to meet the Knight Armor on Dragon Heart Island and learn the dragon-slaying swordsmanship.
Having said that, Wayne decided to go back and give it a try, maybe Willy and Dawn Proverbs were really a good match.
The same goes for Senna. The fact that the two of them can become God's Chosen Knights in the other world shows that the artifact recognizes their talents as spare tires.
At this moment, William was like a little sun, radiating positive energy. Wayne and Delain knew very well that William was lying and he was actually very painful inside. He chose to suppress the pain deep in his heart instead of letting it explode like Philomena.
Perhaps it was because of the Dawn Proverbs, or more likely because of her personality, but Veronica in the surface world had few friends, one of whom she longed for, White Moonlight, and her roommate, Willy.
Willy's ability to pry open the eldest lady's closed heart was not because she was close to the water, but because of her optimistic personality that made Veronica willing to accept her.
This muscle man is so kind!
Delain nodded repeatedly. Although Wayne's taste became more and more shaky, his vision was still online. William had a gentle heart under his strong body. He was a companion worthy of love...
The scene was too bad, and Delain couldn't make it up anymore. He reorganized the card table and chips in his mind and asked William to play cards with him.
Coincidentally, Willy is consistent in her appearance and character, and her hobbies are the same as Delain's, and she is also a card player.
Delain acknowledged this excellent poker partner and praised him highly, saying that after returning to the table world, he would definitely visit William and play with him for three days and three nights.
William secretly thought it was interesting. She in the outer world would definitely give Delain a little shock.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see it.
William looked aside and saw Philomena hugging herself and crying. Wayne was comforting her without saying a word. He just stood quietly beside her.
William was a little envious. He also wanted to be comforted, but if he imitated Philomena, it would only make Wayne helpless.
William had no idea what Philomena in the surface world was like, but he was very sure that Philomena in the inner world did not like Wayne.
"Boy, you are better than her."
"I own the Dawn Mantra, this comparison is unfair."
“You’re better.”
Delain likes William too much, but unfortunately the mirror is an illusion and he cannot take William away. He can only look forward to meeting him in the surface world.
To be honest, although she disliked it, she was also very curious about how William and Wayne interacted in their daily lives.
We are all friends, so it shouldn't be a problem if she takes a peek, right?
————
Two days later.
Four people sit opposite each other at the cliff card table.
"Damn it, you cheated again!"
"If you're not good at it, practice more. If you can't afford to lose, don't play." The voice of a gambling monster came from behind the chips.
"How could this be..."
Delain was furious and put his hands on the table. He was about to use all his strength to move a mountain, but Wayne got there first and overturned the table.
Overturn other people's tables and leave them with no tables to overturn.
Delain: (dish)
The icy beauty was so angry that she was shaking with anger. She pulled out Bai Ye Zhen Yan to teach Wayne a lesson. Wayne was not at all out of step and also pulled out Bai Ye Zhen Yan. Their faces were pressed together, and their noses were only a fingertip away from touching.
William tilted his head. If this trend continued, she would have another big sister in the surface world.
Philomena watched the farce expressionlessly, with a flash of red light in her eyes from time to time. Without any magical weapon to protect her, she was too deeply affected by the negative information, and her situation was very bleak.
Knowing that the world is doomed to be destroyed and that she cannot leave, Philomena's jealousy towards her outer self turned into hatred. She wanted to drag Wayne along to stay with her so that her outer self would die alone.
Delain and Wayne stared at each other for a moment, then looked at the abyss below the cliff in surprise: "It's full, mission accomplished, we can retreat now."
William's expression darkened, he stood up and congratulated with a smile. Philomena frowned and grabbed Wayne's sleeve.
Wayne blinked: "How about...staying and playing cards for two more days?"
"I don't care..."
Delain shrugged, jumped into the abyss, and when he came back, he had a silver bottle in his hand.
The vase is like a bright moon, with smooth lines, a mouth that converges slightly inward, and complex and delicate patterns carved on the body of the vase.
If you look closely, you can see a shadow of a person holding a vase in the light reflected by the patterns.
Delain is the Moon Knight, and this figure should represent the Moon Goddess.
She put the sealed Aquarius into her personal space, reshaped the chips on the table and continued playing cards, and was not in a hurry to urge Wayne to leave with her.
It can be seen that Wayne is quite conflicted now.
Delain said nothing. She could teach the heir how to use the White Night's Words and teach him various combat skills, but the heir was still too young. The heir had to figure out the future path step by step on his own.
The trajectories of life are different, and the principles that apply to her may not necessarily apply to Wayne.
Wayne, your life span is destined to be longer than that of the people around you. Being involved in too many emotions is not good for your future. Sooner or later, you will learn to restrain your emotions and become numb and ruthless in order to protect yourself.
Delain thought silently in her heart but didn't say it out loud. Being callous and ruthless was too selfish. She liked Wayne very much now.
As a young person, it's always good to be cheerful.
The card game continued, and although there were laughter and joy, the atmosphere became increasingly depressing.
In the end, Delane won a hand from Wayne, but he had no sense of feeling any more happy about getting revenge. He pounded the table with his chips in a depressed mood.
The atmosphere was so bad that she wanted to wait somewhere else.
Boom!!!
Below the abyss, an inexplicable vibration came, as if some giant beast woke up from a long sleep. The terrifying aura it released rushed up into the sky, shattering the spatial barrier and merging the space behind the sea of fog and Highway 114 into one.
The sky was spinning and the earth was spun. A vast pressure like the ocean came down from the sky.
The four of them only felt palpitations. The sticky air made every breath heavy, making it hard for them to breathe. An unspeakable fear came over them.
Even Delain, who was at the demigod level, widened his eyes at this moment.
In other words, it was precisely because of her demigod-level power that she was able to sense how terrifying the awakened beast was.
"There are still such things in the other world..."
Delane looked into the abyss in disbelief: "What exactly is this? Is it a sign of the collapse of the inner world, or is it this sign that caused the collapse of the inner world?"
A silver light shone in her eyes, and her sight penetrated through layers of space. Behind the abyss, in the boundless depths of the inner world, she saw a group of black clouds lurking.
The darkness was mixed with red lines, twisting and wriggling, with no fixed appearance or form. Tentacle-like black tentacles extended outward, piercing into the earth of the other world, absorbing endless negative information.
As Delain was in shock, a violent wave of thought hit her, causing her body to freeze. A streak of blood flowed from under her nose on her pale face.
"Having thoughts means being alive..."
Delain acted decisively, waved his hand into the air, threw Bai Ye Zhenyan out, broke through the mirror-like space fragments, and raised his hand to press Wayne's shoulder.
"We can't stay in the other world any longer. We have to leave now."
Wayne was about to speak when his hand tightened. He turned his head and saw Philomena with red eyes.
"Don't hesitate, they can't leave this world. If you don't believe me, I can show you clearly." Delain refused to write about the sorrow and parting at the critical moment of life and death. The story was too long, and if it was dragged on to the end, he would definitely be caught up by the monster.
She punched and kicked Wayne and the other two into the space channel, then leaped and flew towards the light at the end of the channel.
This is a colorful and unpredictable dream space. Countless gorgeous fragments are slowly rotating, combining to present various shapes and colors, like a kaleidoscope. The pattern is changing every moment, full of infinite possibilities.
Beautiful, but dangerous.
This dangerous passage has many exits. If you make a mistake, you will be in a desperate situation with no way back. Delain has Bai Ye Zhen Yan to anchor the space of the surface world, so with her leading the way, there is no need to worry about getting lost.
Wayne and other two followed closely behind. Wayne recorded with his thoughts, broadened his horizons, and learned new knowledge.
William and Philomena ran very fast. Both of them were mentally prepared that they would not be able to leave, but the way to survive was right in front of them, and they couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.
What if?
No one wants to die while they can live.
In front of the passage was an unreachable spot of light, and behind the passage, black tentacles rolled over at some point in time.
The terrifying feeling of oppression and the strong negative information made Delain's scalp tingle. He stretched out his hands, grabbed William and Philomena, and his speed increased by three times.
Wayne followed closely behind half a step, not slowing down at all.
The two were moving very fast, but the black fog behind them was moving even faster. Wherever they passed, the kaleidoscope world was eclipsed and the sound of shattered mirrors could be heard one after another.
Speed!
Feelings of fear and anxiety intertwined in the hearts of the four people.
A tentacle stretched out from behind Wayne, and at the end of the tentacle, an eyeball opened, trying to see what kind of life was at the end of the darkness.
If there was a monster made up of purely negative information, he might be able to use the Book of Greed to pin it down on the dining table.
It’s not certain who will eat whom!
Nothing could be seen. At the end of the dark abyss, there was only a pair of scarlet eyes and a hazy black figure.
It is not a brainless monster filled with negative information, as Delain said, but a living being.
Very powerful!!
Wayne heard a faint voice in his ear. The monster was looking for him because he had not restrained himself in the other world in the past few days, allowing the Book of Greed to eat a lot and snatch away the monster's food.
The monster is not full and wants to turn Wayne into food.
Delain also plundered the negative information and filled a bottle with it. Why don't you look for her?
Wayne was very puzzled. If we talk about looking at the dish to eat, then the honest man deserved to be pointed at with a gun. Looking at the way DeLaine hurriedly ran for his life, he was clearly a dish of food as well, not much better than him.
It has nothing to do with the amount of negative information Delain collected. It should be a problem of quality. The Book of Greed does not eat the same dishes twice. Perhaps because of this, it took away the food that the monster cared about.
Snap!
Ka La La————
The traces of broken glass leapt over the four people and reached the light spot in the distance before them. Seeing this, Wayne split into large pieces of white foam, which multiplied rapidly to block the passage behind.
The black tentacles drilled through the white foam and swallowed it up in an instant.
Wayne sensed through his mind that Bai Mo had lost contact and that if he was eaten, he was really eaten. There was no possibility of him parasitizing and reproducing in the other's body.
Is this thing's life level so high?
Wayne was terrified and gave up the idea of competing with him. He followed the guidance of his heart and accelerated again and again.
The light spot in the distance was getting closer and closer. After walking most of the way, Wayne noticed large areas of black exuding from William and Philomena's bodies. The closer they were to the surface world, the less negative information in their bodies.
At the same time, the red in his eyes faded, and his thinking became more rational and closer to his self in the surface world.
Furthermore, their bodies began to become transparent and could reflect light outwards like mirrors.
It turns out I can’t take it away!
Wayne didn't have time to sigh, he raised his hands and placed them behind the two men, trying to reshape their bodies by polluting them.
At this moment, William suddenly broke free from Delain's hand, and when he passed Wayne, he stepped on him, using the force to speed up himself and also made Wayne speed up.
Wayne looked back in surprise, and what he saw was an extremely bright golden sun.
William, who took the initiative to break away, got rid of the mirrored body. His weak body regained the strength of the Sun Knight and persisted for three to five seconds before being submerged in the endless darkness.
Wayne's eyes widened and he stopped abruptly.
Delain seemed to have known this for a long time. He raised his hand, hooked Wayne's neck, and carried him forward.
"Don't do anything stupid. I'm no match for that thing. It's useless even if you go."
As she spoke, Philomena's eyes were clear, and she took the initiative to break her mirrored arm, staying where she was without moving forward.
Wayne looked over in confusion and read the lips on the face in the mirror.
"My previous performance was too bad and disappointed you. I am definitely not like this in the outside world. She is not much worse than William. You are not allowed to look at her the same way you look at me."
Without the negative information, Philomena took the initiative to stay and wished herself in the outer world happiness.
The four-colored moon phases flashed back and forth, and after a slight sound, darkness engulfed them.
boom!!
Before Wayne could react, a bright light appeared in front of his eyes, and he was taken away from the space channel by Delain and returned to the surface world.
Bai Ye Zhenyan, who was hanging in the air, retracted his light, and a second before the black tentacles touched the surface world, the space channel collapsed and disappeared.
Everything is back to normal.
Wayne stared blankly at the disappearing space passage, speechless for a long time, but his fists were clenched tightly.
After a while, he spoke stiffly: "Delaine, am I too weak?"
"You are still young. I am hundreds of years old and I can only escape. What can you do?" Delain patted Wayne's shoulder without much comfort.
If you feel you are weak, grow up quickly. You should understand this principle. Don't let your big sister teach you.
Wayne was silent for a long time, looking at the location of the space channel. Tragic faces flashed before his eyes, and he promised himself: "One day, I will change this world!"
…
The other world.
The destruction that Delain had expected did not happen. The mirror was still the same mirror. Apart from the wasteland, everything was sunny and bright.
At the dark end of the abyss, tentacles of negative information dance in disorder.
If you look closely, you will find that these tentacles are dancing because they want to escape from this place.
In the dark central area, the figure riding a black horse was hazy like fog.
