Chapter 200
You may not be good at other things, but you are really good at sowing discord!
Yu Leng couldn't stand its teasing and playing tricks on others. Before, when it didn't have a face, it didn't look so naughty, but now that it has a human face, it really makes people want to touch it.
"I don't believe you! Laugh, laugh, laugh, it's really unlucky!"
Yu Leng slapped the diary three times, breaking its face before he could calm down.
Not very harmful but extremely insulting.
Yu Leng’s current attitude towards the diary is that if he doesn’t believe it after listening to it, he won’t transfer the money. He can’t be deceived at all.
Because Yu Leng actually understood that truth. If you conspire with ghosts, you will bring disaster to yourself. If you team up with ghosts, you will either become a ghost or a ghost's toy and live a life worse than death. Someone has already demonstrated it to them before.
The last time he was fooled was because he didn't know what it was, and he was also instigated by a series of riddles to have some doubts about Lu Jiamu. Now that he knew it was a ghost, Yu Leng certainly couldn't believe it anymore.
Only Lu Jiamu shared a common destiny with him. Yu Leng had decided to listen to Lu Jiamu in the future.
But there was still some information in the diary, whose authenticity was unknown, that made Yu Leng very concerned.
Previously, Yu Leng thought that the girl with glasses was a bit like Batty, but that was just his guess, but the diary confirmed it completely. The girl with glasses was a ghost transformed from a human, and the brain-shaped containment that the entire black tower relied on was a sleeping ghost.
They have seen many ghosts along the way, but most of them, whether big or small, are still alive and kicking.
They had only seen such a huge organ suddenly appear twice, the other time being the huge heart in the ghost school at the beginning.
But they were all newbies at the time, they didn’t know anything and even had a hard time staying alive, so naturally they didn’t have the opportunity or ability to come into contact with that thing. Until they left that world, they were still confused and had no idea what was going on.
But if we push back, if this one is a ghost, then that one should also be a ghost. The two so-called core seals don't sound like safe and good things. I really don't know why they have become the reliance of the doomsday base.
Moreover, two apocalyptic worlds, two monsters transformed like that, could this be a coincidence?
Yu Leng knew that if he asked the diary these questions directly, it would be unlikely to answer honestly. Instead, he would appear ignorant and let the diary lie to him again when it was empty. He still had to let it speak more.
Yu Leng waited for the diary's smashed face to heal itself: "You are a ghost, you are full of nonsense. It's hard for me to believe that what you said is true just because you said that you are maintaining a dream."
"Whether you believe it or not, what I said today is all true." The diary began to try to persuade him again and again, "You still don't understand. Traveling through time and space is beyond human ability. It is something that only gods can do, don't you think?
We mortals are already doomed to die if we get involved in this kind of thing. But now there is a loophole in front of you, and I have already told you, so you'd better not alarm her, and get out of it quickly. Abandon your own kind and be a selfish person, only then can you have a way to survive."
"Why are you talking about all this nonsense? If you continue to fool me, we will die here together." Yu Leng slapped it hard on the face again and asked in a different way, "I want to hear what the core of your mission is."
"I've just told you. Xiao Wen is the human part of the inmate, but she has some special fears and things that she can't get over, which have shaken the foundation of her existence. We are here to investigate this matter. She is really pitiful."
"You? Have pity on her?"
Yu Leng's first impression of the diary was that it was a sly and liar. It was hard to imagine that such a person would sympathize with anyone.
The messy face of the diary sighed, without commenting, and then began to express his true feelings: "Yu Leng, you really should listen to me. I have not only walked through three more worlds than you, but also walked further."
"In these two rounds, the Wheel of Time and Space did not change the bound worlds. The situation of several worlds has taken a sharp turn for the worse since we left last time. Even behind Gates 2, 7 and 9, there has been an absolute apocalypse. Behind Gates 5 and 6, ghosts are also dominating the direction of the world.
This caused you to have much less time than originally expected for the learning phase from the beginning, and you simply could not learn all the knowledge and survival skills. In addition, there were several doors along the way where you could hardly get any new information, while when we first passed through them, we could come into contact with many living people. Therefore, the ways to get information in these two rotations have been disappearing and becoming increasingly isolated. As a person who passed the previous round, I can actually see things much further than you. "
"Moreover, no one can guarantee that there will not be another absolute apocalypse in the next three worlds. If you touch such a world, you will die. As I said before, you can't return to your original world. Dying too early is what I don't want to see the most."
It seems to have some kind of art in speaking, always using the excuse of "I'm doing this for your own good" to change the subject to what it wants to say. In fact, after saying so much, the core idea remains the same, and the words are meant to attract him to join.
Yu Leng didn't really buy into this, and he couldn't tell the truth from its words, so he chose not to believe anything it said, and said impatiently, "Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
The girl with glasses was encountering all kinds of strange things that broke her cognition alone. Now a strange person approached her again. Yu Leng had not appeared for a long time, which made the girl with glasses suspect that he had died to cover her up. She was gradually losing confidence in him.
The buff on Yu Leng was also constantly weakening. Yu Leng himself could feel it, but he didn't know when the weakening began and to what extent it had weakened.
There was no time to ask for other details, and Diary kept interrupting when she was talking.
After Yu Leng vaguely knew that the diary turned into a ghost after a circle, all the accusations seemed to be directed at the existence of the Wheel of Time and Space. It seemed to be the source of all the misfortunes.
"I just want to ask you a question. Did she have any direct relationship with the Wheel of Time during her lifetime?"
The diary answered simply: "She was already like this when we arrived. How could I possibly know what happened during her lifetime?"
The dislike between Yu Leng and Diary has always been mutual. Seeing this, he immediately scolded: "Don't you know that you are still bragging about yourself?"
Yu Leng punched the diary a few more times, turning its face into a mess. Before it could react, he simply admitted defeat, stood up and ran away.
He ran away, but the revenge for being beaten had not yet been settled.
Diary also understood that his buff was no longer effective, so he staggered to his feet, swung his scimitar lightly, and prepared to chase after Yu Leng and kill him directly.
Yu Leng ran and shouted: "Killing me will do no good except to scare people!"
Yu Leng has just entangled everyone for too long and wasted too much time. It is indeed not wise to take revenge on Yu Leng now. The most urgent task is to coax the girl with glasses and not let this dream continue to be distorted and broken.
The natives of the Black Tower did not achieve very good communication results after finding the girl with glasses. The girl with glasses was still in a state of doubting reality, was very afraid of them, and even wanted to continue to escape.
Several researchers could only move aside a little, and one of them even took out something like a manual and started telling the girl with glasses a crappy fairy tale from a distance, trying to make her think of some good things and thus improve this broken dream.
But it didn't work.
Although the horror story told by Yu Leng was just a few words, the hint was too strong, and it negated all their operations from the core. It was especially useful for a confused amnesiac like her who had almost no worldview.
The more bizarre the scenes appeared, the more frightened and uneasy she became. However, the more frightened and uneasy she became, the more the scenes would conform to her fantasy, and bizarre scenes would appear. The two were in a vicious cycle, causing the entire dream world to begin to distort due to cognitive confusion.
The ghost that had jumped out from the girl with glasses before no longer pretended to be shady and began to twist continuously. Several ghosts held hands and circled on the ceiling, singing karaoke together. The costumed doll also let out the clear, low laughter of a girl as it crawled.
Yu Leng listened carefully and heard what they sang together: Friendship lasts forever, and friends are unforgettable. Our gathering will never end, and our friendship will never end, until we reach the end of the world!
Friends~Friends~We love you forever, and nothing can separate us.
No matter where you go, no matter what difficulties you encounter, remember that someone will always love you~ We will accompany you to the other side of the world~
The unique lively voice of a young girl rang out from all directions, resonating in the shopping mall. She was in her prime, vigorous and energetic, cheerful and sunny, just like the sun rising at eight or nine o'clock in the morning to the singing.
The clothes racks in the mall began to rotate one after another, and like a carousel, they began to play music.
Yu Leng ran through the bizarre square, looking around and trying to analyze this dream world.
Diary followed closely behind, but had already put away the scimitar. His tangled face had returned to that of a righteous young man, and he was obviously afraid of irritating the girl with glasses again.
When Yu Leng first entered this dream world, he clearly received two intentions. One was that the monster consciousness kept saying that it wanted to go home, and the other was that the girls in professional suits who surrounded them and looked down at them ran away and disappeared the moment the monster consciousness became clear.
At first, Yu Leng thought that those girls in suits might be bullies, bullying the girl with glasses, causing her to fall to the ground and keep thinking about going home, so Yu Leng asked if anyone bullied her.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
What she cares about or fears is not being bullied.
Although those girls were all wearing professional suits, the background music was so heartfelt that the relationship between them was probably not just that of colleagues.
It's good enough if there is no intrigue among colleagues. How can there be such pure emotions?
Is that a childhood friend? A best friend? A classmate or a roommate?
Seeing Yu Leng running towards her from afar in the twisted and chaotic square, the girl with glasses' eyes lit up and she forced a smile again: "You're still alive?"
"I told you, a little loser like that can't beat me." Yu Leng pretended to be calm, "But you, you have to remember it quickly. Where did all your friends go?"
The girl with glasses still didn't seem to react much, so Yu Leng could only emphasize again: "Think about it carefully. You can't live alone until you are this old, right? You will always have roommates, classmates, or best friends who are so close to you that they don't want to be separated from you for the rest of your life. Friends who truly love you and care about you will not separate you even after graduation."
The girl with glasses seemed to be inspired by a word in this sentence, and a glimmer of light appeared in her blank eyes.
The singing outside became louder and louder, and the whole world began to sway and dance.
Our gathering will never end, our friendship will never end!
This seemed to make her feel familiar. The girl with glasses said infatuatedly: "Prom..."
Yes, graduation.
The young girls, whose immaturity has not yet completely faded, put on their professional suits again, gathered together and wished each other a bright future. This is the main material of the core sealed object's dormant dream.
But their friendship must have ended, because the world outside the dream had already ended.
Although at present, there is no sign of anything as terrifying or unbearable as described in the diary.
The diary had reassembled its image by this time and walked over, asking softly, "Xiao Wen, do you still remember me?"
The girl with glasses stared at it blankly.
I have to say that the diary is very good at disguising its image. Although it has been broken several times just now, its whole body still reveals a refreshing feeling of calmness and ease.
It gently embraced the girl with glasses, blocking her view of the Twisted Mall and the Black Tower natives outside, just like a pure angel spreading its wings to protect another person: "Good girl, don't be afraid, you've done very well. Nothing happened outside, let's go home together."
The entire Dream Mall was silent for a moment because of its comfort.
