Xia Yibing curled her lips - she also had some complaints about this in her heart.
After spending time with Hitzfeld, her original devout faith had gradually faded. She could understand that the gods had unspeakable reasons to leave this world and run around, but at least they cleaned the house before leaving...
But there was no point in worrying about this now. She guessed it was the tree people... Hu Tao should be the tree people's spy planted next to the girl. This action might have been instructed by Nian Lun, and the purpose might be to stop Aisuen from doing stupid things... Well, there was nothing wrong with that.
Wasn't that why she came here?
So the most important thing now is to enter the dream world and find Aisuen. At least, we can't let her face those things alone.
With a gloomy face, Xia Yibing controlled Black Owl to fall onto the bed. As her consciousness gradually fell into a dream, she insisted on allocating a little of her mind to maintain "same vision".
So gradually, gradually...she saw it.
Her spiritual world seemed to be torn apart, with one part sinking into the darkness and the other part seeing the silhouette of a young girl through the barrier of reality.
It was Aisuen, she was absolutely sure.
She was walking with a group of people who looked like both clergy and peasants. There were few lights on either side of the street, but then in the moonlight she could see clearly... the distinctive spire of the building not far behind her.
There are tree branches carved on the ring... Is this Blackwood City?
No, the church in Kuroki City can't be this big.
So that's not a church but a monastery... Is that... Blackwood Town? The scene from more than forty years ago... The first Golem Dilemma?
How did she end up in that period of history? And it seemed that the sea of time did not reject her and treated her as a part of the original history?
Xia Yibing felt a little heavy in her heart.
This was what she was most worried about. If she failed to arrive in time and Hitzfeld sneaked into the secret place first, she didn't know how to find her again.
But it was too late, the hypnotic potion had really started to take effect. Her consciousness became increasingly blurred, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already in a dream.
The spirit broke away from the real body, passed through the barrier, and floated in the night sky of the research institute. What was reflected in Xia Yibing's eyes was a vast ocean of blue light.
All around, in all directions, those places where the dark clouds should have been gathered were filled with these things.
They weren’t even schools of fish anymore.
One after another, the Corrupted Blood Creatures emerged from the gray fog, some flew towards the island alone, while others led some strange-looking fish, forming a legion and surging towards the coast.
Any idea?
Xia Yibing's eyelids began to twitch.
Although she didn't know how many wandering spirits were hiding and accumulated in that secret realm, she felt that this should be the majority.
Realizing that Aisuen was going to deal with them, they decided to take a gamble and escape from Dongquan Island, the biggest breakthrough point.
And the Twin Gods Peaks...
It was indeed right to inform His Majesty in advance.
She saw with her own eyes that a Corrupted Blood One was controlling a giant louse-like insect and using its parotid glands to resonate with it.
Yes, she can "see" resonance now.
It was not completely invisible, there were bright blue spots of light forming ripples, rippling in the dream world and rushing towards the building. They penetrated the stone wall effortlessly, and seemed to be quietly affecting the people inside.
Just as she thought, at this moment, there was also a group of people at Shuangshen Peak with expressions of horror on their faces, almost shocked as they looked at the wonder before them.
That is a pool of water.
The dead water surface came alive at this moment. It seemed to have become a mirror channel, and deformed wandering spirits began to flow out continuously - things that were newly named "Corrupted Blood".
There are more than one such pools of water. God knows how many pools of water there are in the dense forest of water lilies. The police and knights who were ordered to block the outskirts of the woods were staring at the night sky in amazement... Their numbers are increasing!
"Then I declare that this is the trial goal of this winter camp—"
Amid the noise, Raymond Portman turned around and gave instructions to his students.
"Survive!"
"That's all I ask of you!"
……
At the same time, an evil disaster broke out in the mountains behind Kuroki City.
A gap was torn in the sky, exposing the gate of the manor hidden behind the illusion. A group of men in black led police dogs, pushed open the gate and waded through the snow to enter. They saw a vortex-like blue light cave at the top, from which wandering spirits were constantly escaping.
"Load the silver bullet." Ethan Doyle raised his hand and clenched his fist.
"Kill all things that don't look like humans."
"Maps, come with me."
"Our target is that house."
……
At this time, Hitzfeld is fleeing with this group of people due to a history that is entangled with the dream world.
The team had two leaders, Rafa Pisis and Bishop Arthur, each of whom had a group of followers supporting them. This led to frequent disagreements in the team's future routes and action plans, and they had to pause for a while every time they advanced a certain distance.
Of course Hitzfeld knew that this was stupid, but she didn't intend to do anything. She wanted to wait and see what happened.
"Miss Nutella!"
She heard someone calling her from behind.
Turning around, it was the "sloppy father".
"My name is Joemy Rock, nice to meet you..."
He greeted her warmly, glancing at various parts of her body.
It wasn't that he was being naughty; Hitzfeld guessed he was looking for the pistol.
"I heard Bishop Arthur and Mr. Pisis tell you about you... You saved them! And you seem to be a very good shooter..."
"Mr. Pisis trusts me, and so does Bishop Arthur." Hitzfeld said calmly, "Just tell me what you think."
She glanced to the side again and saw the petite girl hiding behind a trash can, looking over here timidly.
"I mean..." Mr. Rock rubbed his hands and suddenly lowered his voice.
"I believe you have also realized that such a team can't go far..."
"so what?"
"I know you are a noble lord, and I believe you have the ability to take us away."
The man looked at her seriously with a firm expression.
"I personally support you."
"…If you have any ideas, I and many others will stand on your side."
Chapter 94: Walnut's Obsession
According to Hitzfeld's speculation, Doris Rock is Walnut.
That was the little girl who was watching her from behind the trash can. She looked so dirty and like a skinny monkey, without any of the tenderness of a girl.
Then Joemy Rock must be the father she never wanted to mention - Hitzfeld thought at the time that this father must have done something extremely shameful in Walnut's eyes, which made her too embarrassed to talk about it under such circumstances.
Hitzfeld didn't care about the truth of the matter. It had already happened. There was no need to think about it or dwell on it.
But now it seems that if we follow the mysterious master's hypothesis that "she can't leave because she is trapped in Walnut's nightmare", then her obsession with this matter is too deep.
It was deep enough to form a lock. If she couldn't let it go, anyone who accidentally entered the dream might have to wait until an entire round of plot was completed before they could leave.
So how long is this "whole round"?
Hitzfeld felt that it was basically the main body of a nightmare, which was similar to Xia Yibing's "dream of tragic death of family members" and her own "dream of patricide", and would only end after the deepest darkness descended.
I don't have time to wait that long.
she said to herself.
Xia will not let me continue to act recklessly... She will definitely pass the message back to Wayne through special means. Action should have already been taken outside.
This was not what Hitzfeld wanted to see. After all, this was the trouble she had caused. She didn't want more people to sacrifice because of it, nor did she want anyone else to pay any price for this matter.
She had to solve it herself - this was the only thing she refused to compromise on.
She has to find a way to solve this nightmare puzzle, and she has to get through the shadow of Doris Rock as quickly as possible.
And it was not enough to just do this, she had to find a way to make the other party feel relieved and free from this nightmare.
You really mean well but end up doing more harm than good, my housekeeper...
The emotion was reflected on her face, and she didn't know if her expression at the moment could be considered a bitter smile. But Doris was obviously frightened, and she shrank back again, and after a while she emerged again, with only two eyes showing to observe this side.
Hitzfeld glanced ahead and saw Bishop Arthur talking to Rafa Pisis...or maybe you could call it arguing.
The two disagreed on the route of action. Bishop Arthur believed that they should take small and narrow paths because the shadows there would be convenient for concealing their figures.
But Rafa Pisis believes that we should take the high road.
"Taking the main road is the most efficient," he said patiently. "The town has been experiencing riots for almost two weeks. Many of those alleys are blocked. It takes a lot of time to clear the obstacles. And the dirt caused by the blood and corpses... It's easy to get sick if you come into contact with them."
"Even so, it's better than your crazy idea!" Bishop Arthur rejected it while waving his hands. "You said we were crazy... I think you are crazy! Take the main road? Are you afraid they won't see us?"
"Compared to us, they are more afraid of being discovered by the black-clad people! They are also prey! They dare not chase them openly on the road!"
"But there hasn't been a single person in black on this street since three days ago! Who can guarantee that this place is still under their control?"
The two men insisted on their own views, stubbornly holding their own opinions and refusing to give in. Dozens of refugees looked at this scene blankly with sticks and shovels, not knowing who to support.
Shaking his head, Hitzfeld walked towards the trash can.
She planned to talk to Walnut.
But Pinocchio - assuming that she was still dreaming about Doris Rock, she must have deliberately forgotten all information related to reality.
She didn't look like she knew Hitzfeld at all. When she saw her coming, she wanted to hide inside, but she accidentally stepped into a puddle of water and fell backwards.
At the critical moment, Hitzfeld reached out and grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back with a little force.
She is not very strong, but girls are lighter.
"Your name is Doris?"
Noticing that Jomi Rock had disappeared behind the crowd and that no one else was looking at him, Hitzfeld reached out and smoothed the girl's bangs, looking closely at her face.
Malnutrition.
This is the first impression.
There is a lot of dirt on her face, but you can still tell her skin is very white. But it's not the healthy white, but a pale color, which is a bit scary with the sunken eye circles.
Malnutrition + congenital weakness + severe lack of sleep.
Even if such a child did not die in the Golem disaster, it would be difficult for him to live long if he lived a normal life.
"I am Doris."
Perhaps the help made her realize that the girl in front of her was not a bad person, and the girl nodded and answered the question.
Then she hesitated and asked Hitzfeld, "Are you a transcendent?"
"Why do you ask?" Hitzfeld was a little curious.
"Because Dad never makes a mistake in choosing someone." Doris said seriously, "He has never made a mistake once... He chose you, so you are the best among all the people."
Is your father a speculator?
Hitzfeld remembered the story Walnut told her, in which she was deliberately sent to the Pisis family by her father.
So he chose Pisis at that time, and now he found that I am more suitable than Pisis, so he chose me?
Why did he choose me?
She was a little puzzled, because although her skills and courage had been initially recognized by the two "captains", the scene of her suppressing the fear demon was not seen by others.
Just based on what he heard, Joemi Rock dared to bet so much on me?
Choose one of the two people who were arguing above - either one would be more appropriate than this behavior, right?
[He may have been contaminated.]
The mysterious master suddenly spoke, startling her.
[You should get some information from her and find out what kind of person her father is.]
