Returning from the abyss

Chapter 310 Dream Mirror
Even though Shang Wenxue has a weirdness that everyone can detect, everyone can't be overly alert to this person who maintains a polite and friendly attitude.After she briefly explained the arrangement of the library, Lu Ning, Ning Yeyi, and Zhou Weiyuan quickly understood how to find books, and then started to search quickly.

At this moment, Yan Rong slowed down a lot. After all, this is not her specialty. When everyone was looking for a bookshelf, she might still be matching the titles of books in a certain row.

"Yan Rong, you're actually quite slow like that." Zhou Weiyuan said.

"Stop talking nonsense! You are so careless that you miss the key book!"

"Hey……"

Although the three books are collectively called the Dreamland series, this is the name of later generations.According to Shang Wenxue, the contents of the three books are not exactly the same. "Mergan's Rubik's Cube" is a travelogue, full of absurd and bizarre fantasy stories, each of which is like a novella. "The Fairy Tales of Sodom's Hundred Nights" is a collection of many short stories. It does not use a whole story to describe a world like Mergan, but each small story faintly reflects the world view behind it.As for "Harold and the Journey of the Dream Mirror" was written earlier than these two books, it is an adventure story, which describes the adventures and explorations in various worlds from the perspective of the protagonist Harold. The series name is "Dream Mirror" "That's why it got its name, but this book is also recognized as the one that has received the most artistic processing, and the settings of the other two books are somewhat different.

The most amazing thing about this series is that the three creators don't know each other at all.

The earliest "Harold and the Dream Mirror Journey" was written two years earlier than the latest "Mergan's Rubik's Cube". Due to the difficulty of communication at that time, it was difficult for this book to circulate in Mergan's country.The styles and contents of the two books are also completely different. In addition to "The Fairy Tales of Sodom's Hundred Nights", the three of them tell stories under the same world system. Someone contacted them out of curiosity.

Harold, who was in his late nineties and was no longer able to conduct interviews, was brief in his answers.

"I had a long dream and wrote it out."

Surprisingly, Mergan and Sodom gave similar answers.

"For a while, I was always having continuous dreams, like seeing myself in another world. I thought it was very interesting, so I wrote it while I still remembered. Later, I accumulated a book .”

"Some of the dreams you have had can't be remembered clearly, but some of them are impressive. I make up those impressive dreams and tell them to the children. In fact...they quite like them."

This miraculous commonality even made some fans believe that the three of them were inspired at the same time.Some of the more fanatical even say things like "those worlds are real, they're just the pens they use to show us their existence."

With the development of science and technology, more and more people are creating creations regardless of whether they are true or false. So far, there have been more than a thousand derivative works of "Dream Mirror" just because they are a little famous, and there are countless creations. .And Harold, Melgan and Sodom naturally became the originator of this series.

——"Dream Mirror"

Lu Ning gently flipped the pages of this book. In this harsh environment, the paper of the book has become very fragile, and it will break if you are not careful.But she was still able to finish the book, which was similar to research and interviews, by candlelight.It's not too long, it was found by Lu Ning in the category of theology, and I don't know why it is classified like this.

And those three books had been found a long time ago, and everyone soon discovered that finding clues about the fundamental problem of this scene from there was simply looking for a needle in a haystack.Not to mention Sodom’s collection of short stories with a total of 120 articles, there are [-] worlds described by Melgan, and Harold’s book is thicker, and I don’t even have time to see how many worlds are included. world.

Typical information overload.

Ning Yeyi is currently reading the part about the world of lights in Melgan's book, while Shang Wenxue is quickly investigating the relevant part in Sodom's story.Zhou Weiyuan stared at Harold's book with a bored face and didn't turn a page for a long time, making one wonder if he had been distracted long ago.

In addition to these three books, everyone has also found a lot of related things, which is really "a lot".

It wasn't hard-to-find information at all, but a large amount of information mixed with unknown truth and falsehood was distributed so much that these few people couldn't read it all.

"These things alone are not enough." Lu Ning closed the pages carefully and sighed, "We need to find the supervisor, or the relevant general person in charge, and understand the scope of the LR plan, otherwise these can only be Be our distraction."

"Indeed." Ning Yeyi tapped his head, "The description of the world of lights in "Mergan's Cube" is very close to the current situation. The Legion of Lights controls the light, and other monsters are eager to become part of the Legion of Lights." But the world of lights in this book is very big, far beyond the level of a campus."

"Ah, when it comes to this..." Shang Wenxue said immediately after hearing this, her voice was slightly higher, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, "Have you tried to look at the border?"

She gestured with her hands a little awkwardly, and then said with a smile: "I took a look, and the land outside the school is covered with that dark black substance, and the outside scenery looks like It’s burning like a raging fire, and you’ll feel a burning sensation just by getting close to it.”

"It's not surprising, every world is closed." Yan Rong said.

"But there was a normal outside world in my last world." Shang Wenxue spread her hands.

"What?" Lu Ning and the others immediately raised their spirits.

"It sounds like we didn't come from the same world." Ning Yeyi smiled faintly, "Can you tell me what your previous world was like?"

"It's a dry and windy world." Shang Wenxue immediately began to describe, "The wind in that world can even make you feel like you are about to fly, but if you exclude that, you can clearly see the cities outside the campus, although those The buildings are just as dilapidated."

"tattered?"

"Weathering. Most buildings look similar to dangerous buildings. The windows have been broken long ago. Occasionally, some light objects may be blown up by the wind. If they are smashed, they may be injured."

"Then have you tried to go out and have a look?" Zhou Weiyuan asked.

"No, the campus is guarded by a group of birdmen." Shang Wenxue said this, with a look of hatred on her face, "The group of guys are sitting on the top floor of the building, things outside can come in, but things inside If you want to go out, you will be shot by high-density beams of light."

"The guardian angel of the weathered world?" Ning Yeyi opened another chapter of the book in his hand, and read out a paragraph of text:
【Angels should return to heaven, but why do you stay here?
I asked this question, but the angel did not respond.

Angels always stand at the top, rarely responding to what happens on the ground.I was lucky enough to see an angel fly once, ride the wind with its broken wings, and turn everything in an area into light as God's punishment.

So, I understood that they cannot be lifted into the air.

The broken wings can only support one gliding, once they leave the high place, it will be difficult to return, this is the destination of the angels.

But in this way, the number of angels will continue to decrease, right?

This idea is also wrong, after all, how did the first angels come about?I didn't know that at the time.

"Guardian angels come from the Kingdom of God."

The mysterious traveler said so, then wrapped his robe tightly and walked away in the strong wind, as if revealing some terrible secret.

But where should the Kingdom of God be located? 】

"There are quite a few of those birdmen." Shang Wenxue shook his head, "And there is no need to launch a suicide attack at all, they occupy the commanding heights, and the attack launched from above is enough to destroy those who try to cross the border, and you don't even need to go off the field yourself .”

"But if there are a lot of them... are they really the highest combat power in that world?" Lu Ning asked this sentence.

"How to say?" Shang Wenxue gave her a strange look.

"In this world, we already know that the Legion of Lights controls the light, and the leader of this legion is the Lantern Bearer. The strongest one in the rainstorm world should be the Rain Master. Obviously, there is a real ruler in these worlds, right?"

"Yes." Ning Yeyi said, turning a few pages back.

The priest is always wrapped in a large robe, even his face is tightly wrapped.It is always whispering incomprehensible mantras, as if it will not stop until the end of the world.Those who tried to attack the priest would be attacked by the angels first. Such a situation was naturally suspicious, but the priest would not respond to any external events.

"Tsk." Shang Wenxue smacked her lips, "It's a pity I didn't see it..."

"Don't talk about that, what do we have now? Do we need to go somewhere else? The night in this world can be said to be safer, and it should be a good time to act." Yan Rong said.

"Well, I think I should take advantage of this time to go to the three locations mentioned in the mission." Lu Ning expressed her thoughts, "Since it is necessary to go to investigate, it means that there must be clues there, and no matter which one The world will do."

"Then I propose to go to A1." Zhou Weiyuan said, "We can just go back and talk to them, and then go around a park area to get there. It will take less than 10 minutes."

"If you want to go there..." Shang Wenxue hesitated for a moment, looked at the crowd, "Get ready for battle."

"What? Are there powerful monsters there?"

"There are tourists there."

Shang Wenxue's expression seemed to be giving advice, but there was a hint of eagerness in her tone.

"I heard some tourists' comments, so it is almost certain that there are many tourists there. I don't know if there are any monsters, but there will definitely be a big battle with tourists mixed with fish and dragons."

"I heard you right, you seem to be looking forward to it?" Yan Rong raised his eyebrows.

"Aren't you looking forward to it?" Shang Wenxue asked her back.

Yan Rong looked at her, and then at the others.

"If it's just me, I'm not worried, but if it's a team action, I don't want everyone to be in danger."

"Ah, ah, I really deserve to be a man of Firemane, admirable." Shang Wenxue said in an exaggerated tone, "Then I don't seem to be suitable to act with you."

"Are you sure you are not affected by this scene?" Yan Rong asked in a deep voice.

"How could it be? It might be a little more troublesome at dusk, but now the situation outside is as pleasant as going out to admire the moon! I'm sorry, am I being too rude? Please don't worry, I am like this after all People...so it is not suitable to act together with you." Shang Wenxue bowed slightly to everyone, "It is also a great thing in life to join hands with you for a short time. I hope we can have more topics to talk about when we meet next time, sorry I'm going ahead."

So saying, she put on her hat, took her cane, and went out.

After a moment of silence, it was Lu Ning who spoke, "Yan Rong, what's going on with her?"

"I don't know. After all, I haven't actually met her. But from some friends who have experienced the scene with her, this person is difficult to communicate with but very reliable. I thought it was that kind of stuffy personality, but I didn't expect ...It can only be said that being famous is not as good as meeting."

"Let me ask a question that may be a bit stupid..." Zhou Weiyuan raised his arm, "Compared with her, who would win in a real fight?"

"It's mostly me who fights head-on, but her methods should be more about assassinations and conspiracy. You always say Wu Wuer, but that's just the form of the ring fight. It's really not so fair. scene?"

"So you don't necessarily win?"

Yan Rong seemed to understand Zhou Weiyuan's meaning: "You use my strength for risk assessment, right?"

"I'm not sure about this person's personality at all, so I should take some precautions, right?" Zhou Weiyuan put the books on the table back into his backpack, "But she's right about one thing, if there are really many tourists there, we You have to be ready to fight."

Everyone packed a few books and walked out of the library. Yan Rong also took a handful of white candles. Shang Wenxue didn't take back these things when he left, but Yan Rong thought they might be useful in the future.

Back at D1, Ning Yeyi told everyone about the discoveries in the library and current plans.She didn't avoid Teng Zijian and the others, but only slightly modified the experience of the monk Wenxue, saying that she was a classmate, and took the opportunity to draw the conclusion that "many people are going to A1 to investigate, there should be some clues about escape there".

The word "escape" was extremely tempting to Teng Zijian and others, and when Yan Rong and others had distributed the items and were ready to act together, Teng Zijian finally couldn't help but speak.

"Excuse me... can we go and see with you?"

Ning Yeyi gave Zhou Weiyuan a wink behind his back, and Zhou Weiyuan walked up to Teng Zijian with a smile on his face, and started bargaining, which he was best at.
