Chapter 78 Guidance in Dreams
"Accept." Anti said.
Many uncertain dangers are not within Anti's consideration, and his idea is still "it doesn't matter". Working for a mysterious and powerful boss behind the scenes, walking in this strange world, he can accept all kinds of deaths that he may encounter.
Even if the death is worthless and meaningless.
If you want to see the scenery, you have to move. How much you can see in the end, how much scenery you can take in before you die, that is what he mainly thinks about.
As the words fell, the words in front of him disappeared.
Anti held a string of purple and white bells in his hand, on which was a relief of a bird.
[Sleeping Bird Bell: The suffering person who is awake in a dream calls for a bell for dream guidance. As long as he rings it in the dream, guidance will come.]
[——The bell in the dream seemed to have not rung for a long time.]
Gently shake it and a crisp bell sound will be heard.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing up Anti's clothes and hair, and white feathers suddenly flashed before his eyes.
Anti's eyes widened slightly as he heard the gentle breathing.
"Ah... a code that was familiar yet somewhat strange woke me up from an endless dream of decadence. The person I saw became increasingly unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that I could not find him at all in my memory..." A hoarse and low female voice came from Anti's side.
Anti turned his head and looked.
A tall woman, wearing a gray dress with exquisite patterns, and a black cape on her shoulders that looks like bird feathers. Her long, messy white hair partly falls naturally and partly hangs on her shoulders, with a hint of purple at the ends of her white hair.
The eyes were completely black, the sclera and pupils were all black, with only a white stripe dividing the two. The eyes were like two dark suns, not like those of humans.
The woman placed her hands on her abdomen and bowed gently to Anti: "Hello, passer-by in the gap, I am... Iris. I'm sorry, I can't remember a lot of things. I hope I can help you."
"Hello, my name is Anti." Anti introduced himself.
"Although I may forget it soon, I will try my best to remember it, Mr. Passerby." Iris's voice did not change.
It seems that the situation of this "guide" is better than the new boss behind the scenes thought.
Good luck?
"Excuse me, where is this?"
"This is the gap between dreams, the boundary between spirit and matter, illusion and reality. Dreams born from the thoughts of countless creatures gather here, isolated from each other but yet close yet distant. Here, time and space are disordered and almost meaningless, so many lost beings in the dream world can find a rest here. But they themselves cannot be sure whether they are just a wisp of falsehood in the dream or their true self."
"..."Anti stared at Miss Iris in silence.
"Any questions, Mr. Passenger?"
"I do not understand."
"Are you a fool, Mr. Passerby?" Iris smiled slightly, but her words were quite aggressive.
"Maybe that's true, and you don't even intend to remember my name." Anti said bluntly.
Iris sighed: "You are in a special state and are pulled into a dream. This dream may be about one person or a group of people."
Now it is easy to understand.
"The mixed dream world actually has this characteristic. Even the people from the dependent land can dream here?" Anti turned his head again and looked at the hospital in front of him.
This obviously modern-style building does not belong to the mixed dream world, but to the Blue Star.
"Family land?" Unexpectedly, Iris actually looked puzzled.
"Huh?" Anti was also surprised.
He has always been a newbie who knows nothing but acts as if he is not afraid of anything. But now there is another person who seems to be lacking in knowledge.
Anti could only use his own clumsy description to tell Iris what the "Family Land" was.
It should be okay to copy Safin's words.
After hearing this, Iris showed a slight surprise, but soon returned to her original indifferent expression: "Is that so? Another material world. After waking up, the world has really changed a lot."
"Miss Iris, when were you born?" Anti asked calmly.
According to the records in the Hunmeng Realm, the people of the land appeared at the end of the Wandering Gods Era.
"I don't remember." Iris said simply.
"Are you forgetful, Miss Elise?"
"Maybe it's true." Iris also replied simply, and then said, "But I must have fallen asleep in a beautiful era. I have forgotten a lot, but I still remember one sentence."
"please say."
"'You are the guide of the suffering souls, the ominous bird that pulls the dreams. When you are awake, the world is asleep.'"
"I don't understand." "Mr. Passerby, you are very rude."
"Miss Forgetful, you are very bad at speaking."
Iris ignored him and continued, "I think my slumber is a good thing for the world, but now that I have awakened, I want to guide you..."
She looked at Anti.
"It's probably hard to soothe him to sleep."
Anti:?
"Come on, I will guide you towards sobriety. Perhaps during this period I can remember more things and get you out of here sooner." Iris walked forward while talking to herself and walked into the gate of the abandoned hospital.
Anti shrugged and followed Iris into the hospital.
"Some dreams will restrict the sleeper. But not in this dream. As long as you can recall what you had when you were awake, you can get help when you are awake." Iris explained as they walked.
"Like this?" Anti said, and stabbed his hand directly into his abdomen.
Iris turned to look at Anti.
Stab it!
Anti pulled out the hammer, threw it up lightly and caught the handle: "It's true." The pain was felt without any delay, this dream was so real.
Iris: "...Mr. Passerby, are you really a sober person?"
"It should be." Anti nodded, then calmed himself down.
Ding~.
The feeling of calmness is still good.
Iris nodded slightly: "It doesn't look like he has sunk into the dream and been assimilated."
Anti looked at Iris: "What you just said is that there is still danger in this so-called dream, right?"
"Yes."
"What about you?"
"I don't need help, Mr. Passerby. I can provide you with assistance in my dreams. If you are a coward, I can do everything for you. However, the degree of power I can mobilize is generally similar to yours. If you are really a coward, then I can only live and die with you." Iris said calmly.
"Then it seems that I don't have to live and die with you, that's great." Anti tilted his head and said thankfully.
As he was speaking, Anti suddenly felt that he was being watched and turned his head sharply to look at the hospital's inpatient building.
Behind the neatly arranged windows was complete darkness, and the scene inside could not be seen clearly.
"I was stared at the moment I came in... Are you disliked by the owner of the dream, Mr. Passerby?"
"I don't even know whose dream this is." Anti said, and suddenly remembered the last look of An Busheng when he was chopped into pieces by him. The feeling just now was also very similar.
"...Not necessarily. Maybe it's really disliked." After thinking about it, Anti changed his words.
Just as Iris was about to speak, she heard the sound of heavy footsteps.
A pot-bellied figure, naked from the waist up and wearing a hospital gown from the waist down, his skin full of suture marks and his lips completely torn off, revealing his gums and inhuman spike-like teeth.
The strange man saw Anti and Iris from afar, paused, then suddenly waved his hands vigorously and took big steps forward.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the monster burst out with amazing strength and rushed directly in front of the two people.
Iris stood in front of Anti at the first moment. She held two curved knives in her hands and acted accurately and decisively, cutting off the opponent's fat arms.
But the arms that were severed by Iris did not stop moving. After falling to the ground, they jumped up directly and continued to attack. Iris continued to swing her two swords to respond.
As the applause rang out, Anti came behind the fat man and swung his hammer across.
The fat man's head was taken away directly from his neck, and his moving blood vessels and nerves were still connected, but they were torn off by Antiga's force.
The head fell to the ground, Anti's body was splattered with blood, but he did not stop and hit the head several times with the hammer.
After the body behind him lost its head, it immediately collapsed to the ground, but it was still twitching.
At this time, Iris cut both arms into several pieces, turned her two knives and aimed them at the headless body. A purple-white light flashed on the knives, and the flesh and blood were shattered in an instant.
Iris' body was also splattered with blood, and she didn't wipe it off either. She turned to look at Anti.
Anti was looking at the fat man's remains.
"Flesh Slime again?"
