They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 360 Spider God
Both men and women have unnatural smiles on their faces when talking about their beliefs. If I have to describe it, it is that they have abnormal feelings towards the spider god who is covered in black hair and has a human face. The love that should be there.

Riya couldn't quite understand who started this phenomenon.

If they had really seen the true form of the Bridge of Nightmares, they would never be like this again...

Many people talk about how much they love those beings, but most of the time their beliefs are not pious. Once the beings they believe in truly come, these people must be the ones who run away the fastest.

Just like now, most of the people inside have been tricked into joining the religion, and they still look innocent and don't know that they have been betrayed by the people in the church, and they will all be sacrificed to the Bridge of Nightmares tonight.

It's possible that once they fall asleep tonight, they will never wake up again.

It's one thing to say it out loud that you're willing to die for your gods, but when it comes to reality, many people can't do it.

"Maybe the brainwashing is not successful enough..."

Riya sat in a wheelchair and listened to the believers introducing him to the Church of Nightmare, and also held a serious exorcism ceremony. Although it was of no use, he still couldn't bear to brush off their good intentions.

"In praise of nightmares."

He and everyone recited His name toward a spider pattern on the wall, and then someone gave Riya a small gift, which was a spider doll, only the size of a palm.

It is said that every time people come to the meeting, they can receive different things. Before, it was fruit, and then it was turkey eggs. Their organizers also took great pains to get people to participate in the church's team building.

"We believe that dreams are the best manifestation of wishes, and Madam will eat all nightmares and fulfill our dream wishes."

"He will appear in a dream in the most beautiful posture in a person's impression. The image is not fixed, but the image that appears every time is a charming woman, and He also prefers female believers..."

Riya interrupted them: "There are quite a few men among you."

"What is this? Gentlemen are always attracted to beautiful women of the opposite sex. They said it when I joined the church. Madam Nightmare is an existence that no man can resist. As long as I meet her, I will die without regrets. .”

Now Riya probably understands that the images of many gods do not need to be very specific. They are more often like symbols, and their images and deeds are allowed to be compiled by believers.

Of course, it may also be related to the story written by Falmanf. After all, his book mentioned that there is a god in the place that connects dreams and reality. Now I think this god is the Bridge of Nightmares.

"So that's it." Riya pondered for a moment. Next, he witnessed the daily team building of believers. A group of people danced in a circle around the statue, chanting the names of nightmares while dancing.

Riya's legs and feet are now inconvenient, so even if he had the convenience, he would not jump with those people. Who knows, these people tried to surround him in a circle on the grounds of exorcism.

To be honest, this was the first time he felt restrained. That group of people were so noisy. If he didn't know they were an underground church, Riya would have thought this was an activity thought up by some company's boss.

"Maybe that's all they can come up with."

When he was still an employee before Riya time traveled, he was too lazy to participate in the company's team building. Those things deprived him of the few vacations he had, so as soon as he was promoted, he tried to find a way to put his former superior in jail.

Since then, the company's team building has never been held on holidays.

The current atmosphere reminded him of the old days, when everyone could scold the boss together without any worries...

Riya's mind wandered. He shook his head and looked at the people around him again. At a certain moment, he saw all those people disappear, replaced by a huge extraordinary creature that was half human and half spider.

But the next second, the illusion disappeared, and those people were still normal people.

"There seems to be something wrong. I shouldn't be hallucinating -"

Riya suddenly became alert, and the cheers of the people around her seemed to become a curse that was hard to hear.

"Is it the sequelae of excessive use of extraordinary abilities, or is it another reason?"

He can't recover for the time being, but this doesn't mean that Riya has lost the ability to protect himself. If he wants to, Shivall can still destroy this place in an instant.

Whether it's an illusion or not, I'm afraid we can only see the truth at night.

Riya took a deep breath and felt her flesh and blood that began to recover at an extremely slow speed.

"In praise of nightmares."

……

Night is coming soon.

The believers were all even more excited than after taking a shot of chicken blood. They lay twisted on the ground, and a huge spider-shaped sacrificial array was drawn on the ground.

“Here we can have close contact with Him, let alone dream.”

"I have a hunch that I will definitely dream about Him tonight."

"Come on, any day you don't say this, if you don't do it today, I will stuff the bread through your nostrils."

"Aren't you disgusting? It's time to go to sleep. Don't talk."

So everyone fell silent.

10 minutes, two 10 minutes, three 10 minutes passed...

They still didn't fall asleep.

"..."

"What's going on? Why can't I sleep?"

Some people sat up in surprise, and then looked at the people around them. Those people also sat up quickly, looking left and right in disbelief.

The only person who was really asleep was Riya in the corner. He lowered his head and put his hat on his lap, sleeping deeply.

Of course there was a reason why everyone couldn't sleep. While they were dancing, Riya paid for their dancing at the cost of being awake.

In other words, it is impossible for everyone to fall asleep tonight, and once tonight passes, the content of the sacrifice will not take effect.

Of course, as the one who falls into the dream instead, Ria will see the Bridge of Nightmares and become his sacrifice.

While everyone was still confused, their eyes looking at the statues and ritual formations inside the church became more and more strange.

"Business matters, we have to get out of here. I suddenly feel that it's a bit strange to believe in spiders."

With that said, they fled from here.

After these people left, countless tentacles appeared from the corners to seal the place from the inside to prevent anyone from suddenly disturbing Riya's sleep.

……

Above the sky, the red moon hangs high.

Countless residents of all shapes and sizes were coming and going in the towns where they lived. Some colors that were so colorful and disturbing suddenly appeared on the ground, and then disappeared quickly like smoke.

In a certain building, a group of people were holding hands and spinning in circles. These people were covered in sickly white skin, with loose skin, and were not wearing any clothes.

Suddenly, they reached out and tore the skin off their bodies, and countless spiders crawled out from behind the skin and swarmed out of the building.

They talk to each other in their own unique way, making "bah" sounds.

【He is coming】

【He woke up here】

[Who is going to stabilize him, don’t let him come into contact with the Spider God]

[It seems a step too late] [……]

[Why do I smell the scent of chaos...]

[You are crazy, dare to mention Him here - there are too many His followers here, they must not be allowed to contact! 】

These spiders climb everywhere, warning the residents to notify them immediately if they find someone wrong.

However, when a certain spider climbed into a building to see if anyone was inside, the sound of someone coming down the stairs suddenly came from the stairs.

It raised its head in disbelief, and the figure of that person was reflected in its eight dark eyes.

It saw a young man with a cane standing on a high place looking down at it, and then walked down the stairs step by step.

The young man's movements were unhurried and could even be called polite, but every time he moved, the spider's body would tremble.

Fortunately, the man did not go towards it. Instead, after going down the stairs, he walked towards the table beside and picked up an opened magazine from above.

"The writing on this does not belong to Endles, but the architecture is exactly like Endles."

Ria had just discovered that the place he was in now was a replica of Burgess Town. If it weren't for the abnormal number of extraordinary creatures outside the window, he would have thought he was still in the original town.

Not long ago, he fell into a dream, and through the sacrifices of his followers, he successfully saw what the believers called the "Bridge of Nightmares."

It's just that the place where the Nightmare Bridge appears is still Riya's own dream.

In the city sealed by fog, the tall and beautiful lady took on a human form, but she was still knitting something in her hands.

She was two meters tall, and her expression softened significantly when she saw the red moon above her head.

"You don't need to be so nervous. I have always lived on the boundary between reality and dreams. I am real here. If I wanted to do something to you, I would have done it long ago."

Bridge of Nightmares observed Riya's dream and frowned slightly, but soon she looked at Riya again: "Since you want to enter the dreamland, I will give you this opportunity. I hope you will make good use of it and don't let it down." meet the expectations of the old gods."

"My child, you are much more important than you think. We have all placed the heavy responsibility of preventing natural disasters on you."

"You might be our only hope."

As she said that, she closed her eyes, and Riya's dream suddenly changed.

Everyone disappeared, the surroundings became pitch black, and a spiral staircase leading to an unknown place appeared on the ground. It extended almost infinitely below. It was difficult not to doubt whether it had an end.

[Go down from here, don’t look back, go all the way down, you will see what you want to see]

Ria heard that the voice of the person behind her had changed, and she also felt a hairy feeling on her back. Perhaps during this period, the Nightmare Bridge had changed back to its original mythical creature form.

[Remember, don’t look back]

[Don’t trust too much in what you see inside]

[When necessary, ask for help from the cold spider among them, only the spider can be trusted]

He whispered.

[I give you the privilege. If necessary, chant my true name in the ancient language. I will know whatever you say.]

【Call my name——Atrak Nakya】

As he said that, he watched Riya go down the stairs. Along the way, he would experience countless hallucinations and calls to prevent him from continuing down, but Riya never looked back no matter what sound he heard throughout the process.

He also met the two gatekeepers guarding the gate of Dreamland. The two men were very friendly and let him go without any sense of coercion at all.

At this time, Atrak, who had witnessed everything, retreated into the darkness. No one knew what his thoughts were on his face under his long black hair, but when his figure was about to disappear, the void was filled with the strange and inexplicably sweet sounds of spiders. laughter.

[The sacrifice this time...is really beyond my expectation]

[The living godhead consciousness is really awake and can move]

【So interesting】

【So funny】

……

That was what happened before, and what Riya has to do now is to explore how this place is different from the outside world.

But in fact, except for the different residents, this place is almost identical to the original world.

There are also humans here. They are all people who have mistakenly fallen into the dreamland. They seem to live very comfortably here.

This made Ria feel cold for a moment. He seemed to have discovered something suddenly, but he did not dare to think about it further.

The spider on the ground stared at Ria warily. As it watched, it suddenly felt as if a shadow enveloped it behind it.

So it turned around and saw a group of black feathered creatures that were extremely huge for it. The creature was staring at it with two golden eyes.

"Goo."

Little Sval swallowed the spider in one gulp, then jumped on the table to show Riya what he had caught not long ago.

It spits out a jelly-like substance that has an intelligence of its own, represents a strange life form that is not completely material, and has a color that does not belong to any color it remembers.

Judging from the fact that the thing was still crawling after being thrown on the table, it should be some kind of juvenile form of creature, but when the creature crawled, it seemed that only a mass of phosphorescent color could be seen moving.

"How did you capture the extraordinary creature?"

Ria looked at the thing on the table that was still crawling. The color on its front was like a tentacle to explore the surrounding information, and then it suddenly stood up.

It looked alert. This was not because of Riya and Swale, but because someone suddenly came over to it with a glass and covered it directly inside.

"I've been looking for you for so long, now you can't run away!"

The man's hand was firmly pressed on the glass. He laughed a few times, and then suddenly found that the two beings on the side were looking at him.

He stared at Ria for a long time and asked doubtfully: "Are you... a human?"

Riya: "If you think I am, I should be."

"Are you new to Dreamland? I haven't seen you for a long time. Let me introduce myself. I am..."

"Falmanf Scarborough."

The man was suddenly shocked: "How do you know?"

"You can guess just by looking at that iconic head, and you probably wouldn't have guessed that I came here specifically to find you."

"What are you looking for me for?"

"Reminder."

"What! Are you urging me to come to Dreamland!!?"

"Yes, I am your loyal reader. I have read every one of your books carefully and even read them over and over again. When I think of such people no longer creating, I seem to have lost the meaning of life."
