Chapter 201 Reopening
Several researchers over there tried their best to coax someone to sleep, but it succeeded in coaxing him to sleep with just a few words. How could this be tolerated?
Seeing that it had such great ability, Yu Leng immediately grabbed the girl with glasses and tried to pull her out. His right hand trembled, and he slapped Diary in the face again, but this time he did not smash its face to pieces to reveal its true appearance.
"Don't listen to its lies. It's just trying to deceive you and take advantage of you."
Diary was still pretending to be the Pure Holy Father, so it was naturally impossible for him to draw his sword and chop Yu Leng directly.
The girl with glasses stepped back, patted her on the back, and made a soft hushing sound like coaxing a child to sleep to attract her attention: "Don't listen to him, he is lying to you. Everything will be fine, we can go home together."
The unusual scene in the mall gradually returned to normal, and it seemed that the girl with glasses was really coaxed.
Yu Leng began to persuade her to think more about her friends and classmates, think about the abnormalities in this world, and wake up quickly.
The diary then said, "If he continues to influence you like this, I will kill him. I will clear the obstacles for you."
Although it was said to the girl with glasses in a high-sounding manner, in fact it was threatening Yu Leng to shut up.
The verbal dispute between Yu Leng and Diary has not yet ended. They are still trying to sabotage each other like two fighting cocks pecking at each other. At the same time, they shake off their feathers and take turns to spread their wings and appear, trying to gain more trust from the girl with glasses.
The girl with glasses, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up at this moment: "Go home... go home to what home? This is my home... You don't want me to take you back home, do you?"
The man and the ghost fell silent at the same time and looked at the girl with glasses who was still lowering her head.
"You two are really interesting."
After the girl with glasses said this, her hand had already pierced through Diary's chest, piercing it through the heart.
She didn't know whether it was because of the reduction of external drugs or the constant harassment from Yu Leng in her dreams, but she had woken up unknowingly.
The girl with glasses looked at the diary. Her expression was no longer dull and wooden like before, like a gullible naive person. Her eyes were cold and gloomy. "Do I still remember you? Of course I remember you. After all, it's not common to see strange faces here."
When the diary heard this, it glanced at its chest and immediately understood the situation. It no longer insisted on maintaining its human form, and immediately turned back into the abstract form of tangled ropes, quickly pulling away from her.
The girl with glasses took back her hand, which was clean without any blood stains. She pushed her glasses and said, "No wonder I can see you again. You are dead too."
The diary didn't respond, but turned around and tried to escape from this dream.
The girl with glasses said, "You are tasteless, I won't eat you. I am not interested in your family either."
The monster did not stop it, and it quickly succeeded in escaping from the ocean of consciousness.
Yu Leng entered this dream in order to prevent the diary and the core seal from having too much contact and to reach an agreement. Now that it has run away, he naturally wants to run away quickly.
Some of the remaining Black Tower natives wanted to escape while others wanted to stay.
But although the dream had not been broken, several shadow tentacles stretched out from the ground against the norm, entangled everyone and fixed them in place.
The girl with glasses gave a sly smile, and it was obvious that even though she had let the diary go, she was not going to let anyone else go.
Yu Leng shuddered and immediately begged for mercy: "I'm different from them. I'm here to help you. You see, it's all thanks to me that I woke you up."
The girl with glasses woke up and was no longer stupid. She snorted coldly: "There is not a single good thing."
Obviously this is not a reason for it to let him go.
Yu Leng's brain began to work rapidly.
Just now, when the two ghosts were communicating, they did not avoid him. The girl with glasses recognized the diary, which directly confirmed that the statement in the diary that the person was a participant of the Wheel of Time and Space and that he passed through this world was true.
The girl with glasses said that the diary is dead, and she was talking about you too, and she didn't seem very surprised.
Something very bad seems to be happening.
Yu Leng asked in a low voice tentatively: "Do you remember? Those doors, the world behind the eleven doors, the journey through time."
The fact that he successfully said these words made Yu Leng's heart skip a beat and he felt a lot colder.
Because of confidentiality rules, any attempt to leak the existence of the Wheel of Time and Space would be blocked. However, in this situation, whether or not he would be banned from speaking didn't really matter, so he dared to speak boldly.
But there is only one possibility for him to be able to speak completely to the girl with glasses now.
"oh?"
The girl with glasses had heard it, and suddenly an interested expression appeared on her face.
After she looked at him for a moment, the shadow tentacles actually let go of Yu Leng. She was actually prepared to let him go for this reason that had not yet been fully explained.
The girl with glasses smiled maliciously: "Then go away."
As soon as she let go, Yu Leng quickly pulled himself out of the dream.
The girl with glasses was not very surprised when Yu Leng suddenly disappeared from her sight.
The Dream Mall also quickly and automatically reorganized itself into the appearance of a normal mall. Several girls in professional suits walked out of different shops, staring at the people in the mall and smiling.
The girl with glasses has already remembered.
When she regained her memory, all her confusion made sense.
She kept having this mall dream because the prom that year was the last good thing she remembered. After that, everyone died.
Want to go home - not long after graduation, she fell into a terrifying cycle. The belief that kept her going through each of the eleven rounds of the game was that she wanted to go home and see her family and friends again. She didn't believe she would lose.
She wanted everything to be better, to be like before - but when she came back, she was banned from speaking, and the world became more and more crazy and desperate. She could never go back to the normal past. It would never be better, everything was completely over.
Nothing can separate us - so it kills them all, and death cannot separate them.
We will accompany you to the other side of the world~
But death and the creation of a ghost cave were not the end. Even after becoming a ghost, it did not let them go. The power of a single ghost was ultimately limited, and in order to become a more powerful monster, it devoured them all.
All the friends disappeared, they merged into one and accompanied it to the other side of the world.
This was the thing that shook the foundation of the girl with glasses' existence.
Xiao Wen was taken in by the research institute, and she was the small part of humanity that was cut out from her dream. However, as a human being, she could not accept this reality when she came to her senses. Therefore, the bizarre dream world was always on the verge of breaking apart, unless she lost her memory.
After discovering that its core ability was closely related to time travel, they still treated it like a beast of burden.
The last time those strangers sneaked into her dream, they were there to investigate this matter, about her lost memory.
They only found out that she ate all her friends and was a ghost, but at the last moment of decision, they were confused by the ignorant Xiao Wen and separated the fact that she was a ghost. They thought that ghosts might have human nature and felt sorry for her, so they did not have the heart to reveal the truth.
Instead, it helped the institute put her back into a deep sleep, causing her to be trapped in this dream for all these years.
But as a ghost, it doesn't think there's anything wrong with eating its friend. Its friend has always been accompanying and supporting it in a different way.
The supernatural powers of each series are like the authority scattered by the gods, and ordinary people or ghosts can only possess a small part of them. If you want to get infinitely close to the gods and truly reach the other side of the world, you must eat everything.
The dream world began to gradually shatter, and the image of the girl with glasses disappeared in an instant.
*
Outside the dream world, Lu Jiamu let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the very human-like brain-shaped containment object. He was no longer so active in trying to adjust his state, as if he had finally woken up from a dream.
Then, like a legless octopus, it waved its edge and pushed away the remaining pipes and lines on its body.
This slight movement knocked the person standing on it off his feet.
Some people began to scream and shout "Containment Breach! Containment Breach!" and prepared to run away.
The ghosts and monsters who were originally chasing and blocking Lu Jiamu and preparing to beat him half to a pulp suddenly changed their attitude at some point. They no longer chased and attacked him, but quietly moved to separate Lu Jiamu from the remaining living people.
As the core seal gradually awakened and stopped trying to connect to other adjacent time and space, a light door quietly opened a crack. The wheel of time and space that had been squeezed out of the line was connected again.
Lu Jiamu began to look for Yu Leng all over the ground.
Yu Leng was just on the edge of the brain, but now he was bounced up and thrown out. He looked dazed and didn't run anymore.
Although Diary and Yu Leng seemed to have always been at odds, the ghosts did not attack him at this time.
Lu Jiamu didn't know if he was stupid, so he quickly ran over and picked up Yu Leng, and stumbled towards the light gate with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
At this time, another voice shouted: "Wood...wood..."
Lu Jiamu looked back and saw that it was a diary.
A ghost was holding up its broken and separated body, its head shaking around like a top, as if it wanted to see something but had no idea where to look.
It should have also noticed the appearance of the Wheel of Time, but it couldn't see the door.
It is not a participant, it is just a broken book. If it does not rely on them, it will not be able to go back.
The ghost holding it pulled its head off and threw it towards Lu Jiamu like a ball.
Lu Jiamu didn't catch it, but kicked it back, and it was picked up by other ghosts again.
The diary said shamelessly: "Don't abandon me."
It seemed that he was sure that Lu Jiamu would not give up it.
Lu Jiamu looked at it quietly.
In fact, unlike other people who simply had the basic desire to survive, Lu Jiamu's biggest concern from the beginning was to study Fang Gu's death diary and decipher the contents therein. This was his obsession.
He essentially went on for this obsession. Before he had thoroughly read the contents of the diary, he would not likely abandon it.
Diary was also very clear about this, so it came over to call him shamelessly.
But it had been secretly plotting to kill him all along, which was not a normal situation. It really went too far this time.
It would be a bit ridiculous to simply bring up the so-called "past friendship" and let him reminisce about the old times at this time. Lu Jiamu had already thought so, and the diary could not have been unaware of it.
Or does it think that there is some other trump card that can completely convince him in such a short time?
Lu Jiamu ignored it, but did not run directly into the light gate. Instead, he stood there and prepared to listen to what it was going to say.
What made it so confident that it could team up with them again so quickly after failing in the backstab attempt?
"Rule book! That rule book!" the diary said suddenly. "I will be your rule book!"
It certainly doesn't say this because it has the power to make rules.
It's probably talking about the rule book behind door number six that rolls the dice unreasonably and assassinates all its holders.
Although the rule book looks sick, it is indeed using the power of rules to restrain ghosts and monsters, allowing the living people in that world to have a chance to survive.
Why does it keep shaking people to explore dangerous environments? The answer given in the diary at the time was that it was doing its duty to observe the blocked area, and was bored and watched the people being shaken take risks for fun.
But the diary doesn't tell so many truths. Now it seems that the more positive it is, the more lies it contains. No one knows what the reality is.
In fact, when it comes down to it, no one has ever clearly told them what is a ghost and what is a special item, and how to define the boundary between the two.
If the rule book is a ghost, firstly, it doesn't look like a ghost, and secondly, it is using its own abilities to fight ghosts. But if it is not a ghost, it has independent consciousness, intelligence, and can harm people.
This was difficult to explain in the past and was very confusing.
But what if ghosts from different sources have different inheritances and are in opposition to each other?
At that time, the strange thing was not a ghost, and it was the diary that told Lu Jiamu. Now thinking about it, it might be a lie. Those who are not alive but still have intelligence are all ghosts.
In fact, those two broken books are probably birds of a feather, no wonder the arrogant rule book decided to let them go almost immediately after coming into contact with the diary.
I almost thought that the diary had some magical power, but it turns out that it just relied on the ability to deceive people with its eloquence.
