Ark Undead

Just as the Undead turned to look out the window, the Fire Mage woke up.

She remained pressed against the undead, then slowly raised her head to look at the undead, seemingly still somewhat dazed.

"Ah."

The immortal used his right hand, which wasn't being held by her, to gently tidy up the messy strands of hair on her forehead.

"I'm awake. You can continue and rest."

"Well..."

The Fire Maiden nodded in a daze, then lowered her head again.

The Undead originally thought that would be the end of it, but the Fire Maiden became restless instead.

She moved closer to the immortal, trying to get close to his chest, and even pulled on his arm and wrapped her arms around his waist.

The Undead ignored the Fire Mage as she fiddled with her arm, and instead asked her about other things.

Judging from how much she was struggling, she probably just wanted to close her eyes and rest for a little while, not that she was really sleepy.

"The glass broke last night. What happened?"

When he turned to look at the window, he discovered that one of the windows was broken, something he hadn't noticed in his dream.

Just as the Undead had predicted, once inside the dream world, he was completely unaware of any unusual occurrences in the outside world.

However, since the Fire Maiden said there was nothing to worry about, the Undead could truly entrust himself completely to her.

Yes.

As she spoke, the Fire Maiden sat down in the Undead's lap, then took the Undead's hands and wrapped them around her waist, chuckling softly.

“An old friend followed the scent and came here. It seems you made a deep impression on him during the day.”

"Lapp?"

The Fire Maiden nodded.

"It's him."

No need to guess, the Undead can figure out who it is with just a little thought.

Only Lapp and he had met before, and Lapp could move through the Sea Creatures without being attacked, so he must also know the destination of these Sea Creatures.

By following their trail, you can find your location.

"Lapp, Greyhound, and W together."

The Immortals Theory.

"It's not far from here."

"You saw Mr. Greyhound and Ms. W in your dream?"

"I am surprised," the Fire Maiden asked.

"They're here too?"

"Yes, Greyhound, very useful."

This is an affirmation from the immortals.

Greyhounds always seem to be able to help the undead in strange ways; it's unclear whether this is a coincidence or some kind of special luck.

"Shall we go and see them?"

The Fire Mage casually traced the patterns on the Undead's arm armor with her hand and asked indifferently.

The immortal shook his head.

"Not for now. Greyhound has his own purpose. Besides, we should meet again in our dreams."

"As for Lapp...Patch, we'll have to wait."

The Undead have a theory: Patch's appearance doesn't seem to indicate that he's realized he's lost his memory, meaning his situation might be different from last time.

He didn't even realize that he had forgotten many things.

On the other side, the ruins of a seaside village.

W and the greyhound also slowly woke up.

Like the Undead, the two of them completely lost consciousness after the navigation room was engulfed in darkness. When they woke up again, they could hear the wind blowing from the sea and smelled a familiar scent.

"Mr. Lapp, you're making soup again."

The greyhound weakly pushed itself up from the ground.

After each time I emerge from a dream, I always feel a brief period of exhaustion.

"I was just worried you'd be hungry after you finished work. Here, this is for both of you."

Lap was squatting down next to the two of them, carrying two bowls of steaming soup.

Seeing that they were awake, I put two bowls of soup in front of them.

"So, what did you learn today?"

Lapp was very concerned about the two's itinerary.

Greyhound nodded and said.

"We should have reached the ship you mentioned, but we were having trouble finding any information. We simply left a mark on the ship to mark our return, and then, after exploring for only a short while, we were driven back by the dream."

"Wow, you found it? That wasn't easy."

Lapp looked calm, showing none of the surprise Greyhound had expected.

This made Greyhound secretly nervous.

Lapp didn't seem surprised that they had found the ship, but why had he been urging them on so much before?

"Then you guys rest first. After you've had some soup, I'll tell you all about what you've learned from this dream journey."

Lap stood up from the ground with a smile and walked out of the dilapidated house without any hesitation.

W and Greyhound exchanged a glance, and W asked in a low voice.

"Aren't you going to tell him you encountered an immortal?"

"There's no need, and the Undead probably have plans in place."

Greyhound's eyes gleamed as he spoke.

"Do you remember how exhausted he looked when he came back yesterday?"

“Lapp and the Undead must have met, and even fought. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have specifically warned us yesterday not to get close to Mr. Undead.”

W realized it instantly.

She nodded and said nothing more.

If they reveal their connection to the Undead, it might cause Lapp to drastically change his attitude towards them.

Before they can fully ascertain the information about Theresa, their best course of action is to maintain the status quo.

As for the relationship between Lapp and the Undead.

Let them handle it themselves.

418. Methods to get to Agor

The immortal has awakened.

The news didn't spread quickly. Instead, it was discovered by Scout when he was the first to run into the room where no one was dead to check the situation.

However, more than two hours had already passed since the immortal awoke.

This time, Scout was delivered by the blades of the Deepsea Hunters, just like before.

Scout doesn't seem to have found a giant ship like the Undead.

Although he did kill the undead-like Nightmare and saw the campfire, the location teleported by the campfire is not fixed.

After all, even the undead were teleported to two or three different locations around the campfire before finally being transported to the giant ship.

According to Scout, he first killed the undead in the dream. Then, he was teleported by a campfire to a completely incomprehensible research institute, where he even saw afterimages of some researchers.

These afterimages cannot communicate with him, and Scout cannot actively touch them.

It was practically a re-enactment of the past, and Scout could only calmly watch as an observer.

However, the language spoken by those afterimages wasn't too different from the language they spoke. Although Scout couldn't understand some of the words, he could still make out what they were saying through body language and various facial expressions.

In short, what Scout saw seemed to have nothing to do with Agor.

In the end, it was Gretia who found him and sent him out.

Before killing Scout with her spear, Gladys specifically instructed Scout to find the Undead as soon as he came out, and that everyone should gather in the Undead's room.

Scout was very obedient and didn't ask why. After leaving the dream, the first thing he did was look for the immortals.

Immediately afterwards, other people also came to the room of the immortals.

This includes Logos, who entered the dream with Scout, several bounty hunters who are gradually awakening, as well as Carmen and Kal'tsit.

Apart from Kal'tsit and Sharp, everyone else entered the dream.

After waking up this time, everyone's faces showed a certain solemnity.

The three deep-sea hunters, in particular, looked at Kal'tsit and the undead with very strange expressions.

"Although we should be exchanging information here, you should go first and tell us why it has to be in Mr. Undead's room."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Scout took the initiative to start a conversation.

"It seems the information you've obtained is extremely valuable. Perhaps even enough to shake you all?"

The three bounty hunters looked at each other.

Skadi was simply puzzled as to why Godia and Laurentina were in such a hurry, while Godia and Laurentina themselves didn't know how to broach the subject.

Finally, the two bounty hunters who had been traveling together in the dream for a short time spoke up.

"We met the Doctor in our dream."
