Stage 2 Mission Reward: Jagged Slate]
…
I looked at the small quilt in the prop bag and it was hard to judge. It didn't look like it was for human use at all.
And there is this second task, which means that I can’t take my brother out with me now.
But the biggest problem that needs to be solved now is...
My brother and I have a clothing problem.
I really haven't returned to my original habit of walking my bird on the street.
My brother still looked silly, as if he didn't remember anything. His starry eyes were exposed without any concealment. He probably didn't remember anything now, but fortunately he still remembered me, his younger brother.
I was worried about clothes for both of us.
Theoretically, it could be realized in a dream just by thinking about it, but just now I relied entirely on instinct to regain our human form - the delicate task of changing clothes was a bit too difficult for me.
Then I took out the "Starry Sky Quilt" and spread a palm-sized piece of cloth in my hand.
Ah, this, like a rag with sparkling stars.
Then Veral took the starry sky quilt from my hands, twisted it on both sides with his hands and shook it down, and the cloth became bigger.
…Is it still possible? ? ?
He handed me the cloth as if to take credit. I looked at it and thought that it was better to surround myself with this than with a circle of grass.
I've seen how clothes were worn in ancient Greece before, so I think I can wear them that way too.
I took it and tried to tear the cloth apart, but I realized I wasn't strong enough. So I looked at the Book of Omniscience floating next to me and asked, "Can you use your arm?"
Two arms, one black and one white, rushed out and grabbed the cloth, but the cloth did not move at all.
"You're not going to be so strong that you can't even tear a piece of cloth, thin dog?"
The Book of Omniscience: ...
It seemed to be angry, and a bunch of tentacles stretched out from the pages and wrapped around the cloth. It used all its strength, but the cloth was still intact, not even a wrinkle.
"Pfft..." Veral laughed rudely beside him. Although he didn't remember anything, his disgust for the "Book of Omniscience" seemed to be engraved in his soul.
…The timing of my brother’s fight for favor is really strange.
He stretched out his right hand, and his fingers gradually turned black from the fingertips, then hardened and became extremely sharp. He lightly scratched the cloth stretched straight by the Book of Omniscience.
The cloth broke into two pieces.
Very good, it’s the protagonist who is in trouble. His physical fitness is excellent.
The Book of Omniscience looks autistic.
I used the vines I picked nearby as ropes and tied them simply. The simple clothes were ready. I put them on myself and then started to put them on my brother. He was very obedient and did whatever I said. He didn't do anything while I was dressing him.
Forgive him for fooling me. He just wanted to make me happy. What could he have done wrong!
The problem of clothes has been solved. Now it's the task. What do I need to know...
[…Probably something about your mission. Ahem, the backdoor ends here. If you open it again, you'll be punished.]
...Tong suddenly became reliable.
Regarding the mission, my mission is to prevent the evil god from coming. I stopped one and sent my brother to the dreamland. There is also a cat at home, but my brother's identity as a non-human container is really easy to attract people's attention.
Can we find a permanent solution here?
Let me think about it. First of all, I have to find someone to ask if there are humans in the Dreamland.
The first moon in the sky was halfway down, and there was still time. I took Villar's hand and walked towards the shore. Before we came, Xue Jin urgently gave me some common knowledge about the dreamland.
This person didn't seem to consider at all what would happen if I forgot everything. Fortunately, I remembered it.
Most humans live in the west, and there are cities there. I don’t know if ships can reach there.
I still haven't figured out the logic behind the ship's operation. It can't be a brain-controlled autonomous driving system. The competition in the electric vehicle industry is so fierce. If I can export this technology, I'll be a big shot in the automotive industry.
Anyway, let's take a look first.
I took my brother's hand and got on the boat, and the boat sailed towards the fog ahead.
“Brother…Xiaoyu…” I heard Veral’s voice, his voice heavy and ringing in my head and ears at the same time.
He seemed to remember it, but not completely.
That's fine, at least it reminds me that humans use their mouths to speak.
After a while, he looked up and looked around in confusion.
"Xiaoyu, where are we?" He asked me with a pair of starry eyes, feeling that he should have almost remembered everything. "I remember we were underground? Are you okay?"
"I'm not injured, but there was an accident." Finally, they could communicate normally. "We are in the Dreamland now."
I confirmed it just in case. "You should know where Dreamland is, right? Do you remember what happened just now?"
He began to recall carefully, and then his expression began to stiffen.
Then I watched him transform those starry eyes back into human eyes little by little.
...Even if you are slow, I can still see the changes. Why are you trying to cover up your mistake?
"Xiaoyu...I can explain." He swallowed.
I felt like laughing. "Let me hear your excuse, Villar, or Lin Luoan?"
Good, he looks stiffer.
"I'll listen to your explanation carefully when we get out, brother." It was really interesting to see the honest non-human fidgeting. It seemed that his brother looked really easy to bully.
【You are just narrow-minded. 】
Shut up, Tong.
We went ashore when the first moon set.
This time we went to a town. On the way from the dock into the city, we saw many people of all races, including some that didn’t look like humans at all.
Everyone seemed to be used to it.
However, when they saw Villar and I, many people showed horrified expressions.
I looked at the two of us uncertainly. We were in human form, harmless, youthful and energetic. Our clothes were a bit strange, but some people's clothes were even stranger than ours!
…Then a soldier-like figure appeared.
"Where do you come from, distinguished guest?" The soldier was wearing medieval armor and holding a spear in his hand. I don't know if it was my illusion, but he seemed to be trembling.
"Is this important?" Villar began before I could say anything.
His voice was different from when he spoke to me, devoid of any emotion.
It wasn't an illusion. After hearing Villar's words, the soldier trembled even more violently.
"No...it's not important. Please come in." He seemed to want to say something else, and finally said it as we were about to leave, "Guests, please restrain your divine power...other gods might notice you two guests."
Divine power?
What divine power?
...Ah, I think I understand.
The starry halo on Verar and the golden light emitted by the golden heart in the center of my chest - these are all things that they call "divine power".
Although we are both in human form now, what was first revealed in the dream world was our true form. Our current form is not a physical entity like in reality, but just a mimicry.
Therefore, the energy released made these real humans feel terrified.
It is equivalent to saying openly: I am not a human being, you are a bunch of ants.
That's a bit rude.
I pulled Veral into the alley, called out the "Book of Omniscience", and started looking up guides on the street. A familiar piece of paper was handed out with another string of spells on it.
When we came out again, no one paid much attention to us.
I finally had the energy to look around, and then I saw a tall tower in the center of the town.
It is particularly eye-catching among the small buildings with the top three floors.
I have a feeling that this is our destination.
After reaching the tower, I found that it was a tower without a door. However, in the dream world, we cannot use common sense to speculate. Maybe it is some kind of idealism like "I think, therefore I am", "it's not the flag that moves but the heart that moves", and what you wish for will come true.
Then I saw Villar knocking on the tower with ease.
A stone door appeared in front of the two of us.
...Why are you so skilled?!
"I came here when I was a kid," Veraer said. "I was accidentally sent here when I was trying to escape being hunted. It was in another city, and there was also a tower like this there."
“Some people call it the Tower of Babel.”
I looked at this tower that reached into the sky and whose top was out of view, and suddenly I felt that this name was very appropriate.
The Tower of Babel in the Old Testament of the Bible, which leads directly to heaven, only appears in dreams. So where does it lead to?
Veral and I walked in together, and the stone door closed behind us.
…
We were still climbing the tower when the second moon was about to set.
To be honest, if you want to go to heaven, you really need some physical strength. In this day and age, can Dreamland keep up with the times and have an elevator?
If I didn't have the body of an evil god, I wouldn't be able to hold on for this long today.
I brought my cell phone with me, and today I got the highest number of steps.
"How long will we finish climbing?" I asked the person next to me who had been here once.
"have no idea."
"have no idea?"
"Before, I only had to climb three stairs to reach a room. It didn't take this long." Villar said honestly, "Then I got something, and from then on I could hide my eyes."
"So the ability to mimic is acquired?"
He nodded.
"Because I was often hunted because of my eyesight problems, my father had to blindfold me, but I would still be discovered."
"...We haven't walked this long because neither of us has a strong enough desire, right?"
What on earth is going on with this tower? The product manager who designed this tower should not be mute!
Then I began to think hard about how I could complete the task and prevent those gods from descending upon my brother. Perhaps I finally had a wish.
As the second moon set, a room appeared at the end of the stairs and we walked in.
Then I froze.
This room.
How could this be a theater?! Why are all the decorations around here Q-version standees of evil gods?!
What is the judgment on my wishes?
