Nightmare-eating tapirs are monsters that feed on nightmares, and they are handy to deal with them, but the situation in Asuka Well is different.
"I've never seen such exaggerated malice. I don't know if it's because the child is special, or because he has accumulated too much weight... I can swallow them all, but this will inevitably cause a subconscious counterattack. If there is an all-out war, think about it." It will be difficult to successfully rescue the child.
After all, you don't want to see her wake up and become an idiot, do you? "
"It does need to be considered."
Qin Zi deeply agrees: "But you can't just leave it alone, you still need to try your best."
"Exactly, so I hope that the princess and this warrior—sorry, haven't asked your name yet—can assist me from the side."
"My name is Lin Ye." He responded casually, and hurriedly asked, "Assist you? What should I do?"
"Simple, I will try my best to deal with those malicious projections and avoid direct conflicts, but at this time I have no time to care about others, so I need you to dive into the depths of consciousness and find this child's 'self'."
The Great Eater's Nightmare smiled gently: "At that time, we will be able to bring her up from the depths. As for whether she can wake up... It depends on how well this body recovers."
"Hope everything goes well."
Lin Ye said something sincerely, but soon asked without confidence: "How do we sneak in? Can it really work?"
"Of course not now, but I will teach you the tricks and methods, and let you practice in advance, so that you are familiar with what the 'dream (spiritual) world' is like."
"Do you mean let's dream together?"
Qinzi suddenly became interested: "Okay, it sounds quite interesting!"
Hearing this, Lin Ye glanced at her, and suddenly said, "I'll come alone, you just train me."
"Oh? That's good, after all, your mental power is very strong—no!"
The nightmare-eating tapir noticed someone's gaze full of resentment, and couldn't help but change his mouth.
"Sure enough, two people are needed. If you fight alone, you will definitely not be able to pass the test!"
-
Deng!
Deng!
Deng!
Lin Ye came back to his senses and found that he somehow put on a straight suit and was standing in the center of the stage, but the lights coming from all around made him feel a little dazzling.
"Dream? It's so real..."
Lin Ye looked at his hand and found that he could see the texture on it clearly, so he couldn't help sighing.
At this moment, the lyrical piano accompaniment sounded quietly. A nightmare like a puppet was sitting in front of the piano, with ten short fingers dancing on it, and its furry body swayed slightly with the music.
Bright rose petals fluttered in the air, and lights moved along with them, hitting the stairs leading to the second floor, and then a burning figure appeared like flowing fire.
A decent and slender red dress reflected the perfect silhouette. She stepped on slender high-heeled shoes, pinched the hem of the skirt to reveal her fair ankles and calves, and walked down the stairs with elegant steps.
The delicate clavicle, delicate arms, and clean back are mixed with the innocence of a girl and the maturity of a beauty. When she Yingying came to Lin Ye and stretched out her right hand, the boy couldn't recover.
"what happened?"
The corner of Qinzi's mouth curled up: "Do you want to refuse the lady's invitation?"
"...No, how dare you."
Lin Ye imitated the appearance of a gentleman in the movie and bowed down, and reached out to catch the girl's fingertips reservedly.
"Would you please dance with me, madam?"
"Very happy."
... Soothing music echoed in the empty theater, two figures, one black and one red, performed an elegant and romantic dance music together, and the girl's face was full of joy from the heart.
And Lin Ye...
He is a mature man, so he knows what to do now, and he also knows what to say and what not to say.
That obviously tall figure, that impeccable waist, that baby fat that disappeared inexplicably on his face, that graceful neck like a swan... He didn't know anything.
What happened to Qinzi, what changed, please don't ask him, because he doesn't know anything.
But... there is only one thing.
Lin Ye, who was dancing next to the girl, felt the elastic touch coming from in front of him, and the amazing curve, couldn't help but fell silent.
He doesn't know anything, but—
This size is too exaggerated!
Chapter 105 Chapter 92: Jia - Love - Liu -!
In the huge and empty steel city, two figures descended from the sky, as light as feathers, and landed safely on the top of the building with their toes.
"Is this... the spiritual world of Asuka Well?"
Lin Ye in a student uniform and Qin Zi in a cute foreign dress stood side by side, looking down at the city from a height.
Although you can change your appearance freely in the dream, in order not to lose yourself, you must strictly maintain your original appearance. Even if Qinzi is very unhappy, she still has to come in a "real" posture in the end.
thump—
thump—
thump—
...The sound of huge metal collisions came from far away, like an old clock telling the time, echoing in this uninhabited city, occasionally mixed with the scream of steam, ejected from the strange factory A large amount of fog floated into the sky, like huge vortices falling from the sky.
I don't know if it's because of the steam, the whole world is shrouded in a gray atmosphere, and even the sky is dark and unclear.
"It's decadent, bloated and hopeless. It's like 19th-century London."
Qin Zi tapped on the building under her feet with her cane, and as expected, there was a metallic sound.
"It's just the post-apocalyptic version."
"This is just her surface consciousness, a shell created to protect herself. If we want to go deeper, we must find the entrance to the next level."
The nightmare-eating tapir has now become the size of a squirrel, lying on Qinzi's shoulder like a cute pet, but his voice is very mature, which seems a little out of character.
After hearing this, Lin Ye couldn't help but look at it in doubt: "Why is it like a puzzle game?"
"Remember, everything here is actually a manifestation of the spiritual world. The so-called 'dream' is not completely unconstrained, but exists according to certain rules.
A disorderly dream won't last long before it collapses... and this child has been sleeping for a long time, and here she has built an extremely large and complete world, which naturally has its own laws of operation. "
The Nightmare Tapir explained: "If we want to find her body consciousness, we must abide by the rules here, otherwise it will be a violent crack... I don't need to say more about the consequences?"
"Understood." Lin Ye nodded.
Anyway, he has also watched "Inception", so he still has some understanding of these things.
"But how to find it?"
"...the sound stopped." Qinzi said suddenly.
Lin Ye was taken aback, and then realized that the bells that had rang throughout the city—supposedly—had stopped.
After losing this main theme, all I could hear was the whistling of steam gushing out and the sound of biting wind. Although it was noisy, it inexplicably made people feel extremely lonely.
It was also at this time that a sharp scream came to the ears of the three of them.
"what!!!"
Qinzi's eyes suddenly changed: "There are others!"
Tapping her toes lightly, the girl raised her crutches as if by magic, turning it into an umbrella, and when it opened, it took her down like a parachute.
Lin Ye was not so troublesome, he stomped his feet directly in the direction of the sound, his body instantly turned into an arrow that flew from the string, and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, flying over the gray stone slabs and bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.
"where is it?"
One step ahead, Lin Ye rushed into the narrow alley, but after entering, he could only see various pipes along the walls, and a little sunlight leaking between the tall buildings. There were neither road signs nor any signs , like a maze.
And after that scream, there was no further movement, which made Lin Ye hesitate for a while.
"Here!"
Qinzi with an umbrella is like walking on the moon. Every time he jumps, he can advance seven or eight meters. He quickly catches up with the forest, and then chooses a direction without hesitation.
"I saw it up there!"
Just that moment?
Lin Ye was surprised by Qinzi's keen observation ability, and immediately followed without thinking.
Sure enough, after passing through two corners, two people and one beast came to a dead end. In front of them was a towering steel building, which completely blocked the sunlight.
However, in this shadow, bright red blood spread on the gray ground, and fragmented human bodies were scattered everywhere, seemingly random but following a certain pattern. The tragic scene was deeply reflected on the two sides. In the pupil of the human eye.
"..."
Qinzi put away the umbrella and used it as a crutch to approach the corpse step by step. Lin Ye leaned over like him, and the moment he saw the relatively well-preserved face of the corpse, his eyes widened slightly.
"Flying bird..."
This frightened face is exactly what Asuki Asuki looks like in reality!
It's just that now her limbs have been cut off, and she is scattered not far from her torso like a piece of toys. Her stomach has also been cut open, and the internal organs including intestines and uterus are placed around her, forming a large body. circle.
Even Lin Ye held his breath for this weird scene.
"No, Lin Ye-kun." Qinzi showed physical disgust in her eyes, but she corrected without changing her face, "She is not Asuka Iki."
"Ok?"
"Her name is 'Jiaai Liu'."
"—!"
As soon as the name came out, Lin Ye was shocked, and looked at Qinzi in surprise—because this name is the code name of those "Flying Bird Wells" who died in dreams in the "Original Book"!
In the original world line, Asuka was also being killed by murderers in the spiritual world as he is now.
And when she was used by the mastermind behind the scenes (Hayaseura) to solve the case, she passively experienced the victim's death experience again and again... At that time her name was "Kiaai Liu".
But how about Qinzi...
However, before Lin Ye could ask, Qin Zi pouted, motioning for Lin Ye to bow his head.
"It says on the badge."
"Oh?"
Lin Ye looked down, and sure enough, he saw an identity badge similar to a passport on the corpse, with a bust of Asuki Ikiji and the name "Jiaai Liu" on it.
"This is a reminder." Qinzi said calmly, "If you want to solve the mystery of this world, you have to start from this corpse, or from the prisoner."
Lin Ye frowned: "The body is here, but where is the murderer?"
"The murderer is you!"
Qinzi suddenly turned around, pointed at Lin Ye and shouted loudly, startling Lin Ye.
But soon the girl laughed out: "I'm just kidding."
"...Are you still in the mood to play this at a time like this?" Lin Ye was speechless for a while.
"Maybe it's a bit inappropriate."
Qinzi nodded, then looked past Lin Ye and looked behind him: "But it's true, isn't it?"
Lin Ye reflexively turned around to look, only to see a black shadow flash past the intersection where they came in.
"Humph!"
Lin Ye narrowed his eyes, but paused when he was about to chase, and looked at Qinzi worriedly.
"I have bodyguards." Qinzi smiled and rubbed the cute pet on her shoulder, "Hurry up and chase after her."
"Okay, you wait here for a while, don't walk around."
Lin Ye stepped on his feet and shot out like a bullet: "Come back and tell me how you found the murderer!"
"Bon Voyage."
Qinzi watched Lin Ye leave, and the smile on his mouth gradually faded.
She would turn around and continue to observe the corpse on the ground, quite focused.
