Volume 8, Chapter 5: Dreams Born from the Heart(1/3)
Around them, there is a hazy fog, and the colorful fog is like a ball of cotton wool, running slowly and quickly, sometimes turning into a strange shape, swaying in front of the shadow.
"Is it really in a dream?"
Shadow asked himself, was it a dream or a reality? He could not confirm it, nor could he find his companions confirm it. There was no other person around him. In the vast sea of fog, only Shadow walked alone, and no matter where he went, he could not see any sign of life.
A round easter egg rolled out from somewhere and came to his feet. With a "quack" sound, it was like a duck's cry, and the easter egg suddenly cracked.
The clown jumped out of the easter egg like magic.
With a "bang", the clown threw an easter egg out of his hand and hit Shadow in the face.
A heart-like pain spread throughout his body along his face, and the shadow staggered backwards. Thousands of easter eggs were thrown out by the clown and hit the shadow like a rainstorm. With his supersonic speed, he didn't have time to dodge and let the clown beat him up wantonly.
The shadow was so painful that it almost fainted.
"It hurts a lot!"
The clown smiled hideously.
"This is just an illusion."
Shadow gritted her teeth and said, "I am in a dream, and all my feelings are virtual, including pain."
"The feeling in the dream is the most real."
The clown's face covered in oil paint showed a mocking look: "You have always felt lonely, right? Is this also an illusion?"
The shadow flashed back alertly: "I don't understand what you mean."
"In a world that does not belong to you, do you feel lonely? You can't see your former friends and relatives, and you are surrounded by strange races."
"It has nothing to do with you."
The shadow answered uneasy.
"This sense of loneliness is like a dark and gloomy abyss, dragging you into it little by little, sinking, and despairing until you perish."
The clown's voice seemed to be a dream: "You can't go back, you can never go back."
"You're talking nonsense!"
The shadow screamed excitedly.
"For so many years, you have suffered endless pain. They torment your heart day and night. You slowly collapse and go crazy. You can't find anyone to talk to. You reject the creatures in this world, and they are also rejecting you."
The clown said temptingly: "You are lonely."
"I'm already used to loneliness!"
The shadow hissed.
The clown showed a mysterious smile: "You are also used to being abandoned, and being abandoned by God!"
Shadow was shocked and exclaimed: "How did you know?"
"I know everything."
The clown said coldly: "Because you are abandoned, you even hate yourself and your descendants!"
"Stop talking!"
The shadow waved his hands hysterically, and his snow-white fangs stretched out from his lips.
“Why not seek relief?”
The clown's voice suddenly became very gentle, and his appearance gradually blurred. A cloud of colorful mist floated by, turning into countless black figures, like a familiar hometown, calling the shadows one after another, and in a trance, the clown turned into a black shadow.
"Relax."
“How to get rid of it?”
The shadow murmured.
"Did you see the light in the distance?"
The clown pointed to the gorgeous and glowing fog in the distance and said quietly: "Walk over, just walk over, and you will be completely free."
The clown smiled at the shadow, and the broken easter eggs on the ground were connected one by one, automatically closing. The clown crawled into the easter eggs and disappeared.
The easter eggs rolled around, through the fog, and quietly approached Feiqisi.
Fei Qisi blinked blankly, surrounded by a vast golden field, with bleak stars, and the green phosphorus fire was like strange eyes, scattered around the silent, as if it was the tongue of fire spitting out from the dark earth.
Two thick and long stone pillars stood majestic in cross shapes, like terrible giants, as if they were about to break the deep night sky. Fei Qisi found that her hands and feet were tied to the stone pillars, and there were crowds standing under her feet. They were wearing white robes embroidered with golden suns, and the wind hood on their heads covered their heads and faces, revealing only a pair of colorful eyes, staring at her mysteriously.
"Why is this happening?"
Fei Qisi shouted in horror: "Why did I go back ten years ago? I am dreaming! I must be dreaming!"
"Dang", with a thick and melodious bell, a fire light ejected from the ground, like the tongue of fire spitting out from the earth. The white-robed men knelt down one after another and shouted in unison: "Sun Saint, the great God of Egypt."
"No, no!"
Fei Qisi struggled violently, and the nightmare from ten years ago was repeated again.
"Ask the Holy Maiden to receive the baptism of the Sun Fire."
The sound of the crowd was dull and heavy. In an instant, countless torches were lit up in the field, illuminating the night sky. The scorching tongue of flames moved like a demon and approached her face.
Fei Qisi's screams were heart-wrenching, and the flames burned her delicate cheeks like stiff iron bars, whipping the weak daisies.
"You dream of regaining your appearance, right? Poor child, your fate is being brutally ravaged again and again."
The clown jumped out of the easter egg and appeared ghostly in front of Fei Qisi's eyes.
"Where am I?"
Fei Qisi looked at the clown in fear.
"In the deepest part of your heart."
The clown said sternly: "Go to take revenge! Take back everything you have lost! Your beautiful appearance, your girl's precious time! Go to take revenge! Take revenge to those who tortured you! It is them that allows you to live in hell!"
With a "bang", the stone pillar collapsed. Feiqisi fell from the air, and the crowd and the fields turned into clusters of colorful mists, floating around her.
"Faced with a cruel fate, you can only be more cruel than it! As long as you take revenge, you can restore your former appearance. Isn't this the purpose of your visit to the Spirit Tower?"
With the magical temptation, the clown disappeared. Fei Qisi saw that the shadow was walking towards him step by step.
"Revenge can restore your appearance."
Fei Qisi murmured, staring at the shadow, and a strange light appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Li Qi was searching for Feng Zhaoyuan everywhere, and a small river flowed slowly in front of him. The river water was clear, and colorful pebbles shone at the bottom of the river, like easter eggs.
The breeze blew, and the white reeds swayed in the wind.
"coward."
A voice came out slowly.
Hunting strange sounds and looking around.
"coward!"
The sound echoed clearly in my ears, and it was from the bottom of the river.
Huoqi looked at the river in surprise, a pebble suddenly exploded, and a figure floated out, standing at the bottom of the river, facing him with all his eyes.
Lieqi was slightly stunned. He seemed to see his reflection in the water. The person who jumped out of the pebbles looked exactly like him.
"coward!"
The water Qi looked at him with a contemptuous look.
"Who are you?"
Huoqi asked alertly.
"I am you."
The curiosity in the water sneered: "One other you."
"I must be dreaming."
Lieqi shook his head.
"Yes, only in the dream, can you release another suppressed person."
The curiosity in the water said slowly: "You are a coward."
"I'm not!"
Lieqi frowned.
"Who are you!"
The strange hunting in the water laughed wildly, and the clear water waves trembled layer by layer, causing ripples: "You think you are kind, but in fact you are a coward. You were taken away from the position of the patriarch, but you could only run around like a dog with your tail between your tail. You dare not fight with the hunting tank because you are afraid that the essence of your kindness is just a mask of your cowardice! You have been escaping all your life, escaping hunting tanks, and escaping the responsibility that should belong to you!"
Lieqi was trembling all over and said in a trembling voice: "I don't have it!"
"You have!"
The water Qi showed a cruel smile, and he slowly stretched out his hand, and a bronze mask appeared in his hand: "Put it on, you can't live without it. Put it on, you will feel at ease and you can escape forever. Forget the Magic Yin family and the cruel struggle. Oh, I am a kind person, I can't bear to hurt anyone! Hahaha! What a ridiculous mask!"
