This is undoubtedly the world of dreams.Youxiang is familiar with this scene: the white mist, the gray-purple sky, the cracked earth and the crystallized branches stuck on the ground.This must be a dream world, yes, but I am very sober.Being able to feel is not ‘falling asleep’.

Xiaoxi once said that humans usually cannot come here awake.If one day you really wake up here, there are basically only two possibilities. First, you are dead.Second, you were brought here by demons.

Youxiang thinks she is the second type.But the man in front of him didn’t know.

“Miss?”

“………”

I can’t believe the people I meet in the dream world, whether I know them or I have never seen them.Because they may be demons who want to invade your body and go outside.Xiaoxi also said so.Youxiang doesn’t know this man who is eager to talk to her.He is probably in his 20s, about the same as Mr. Kagawa…

The makeup looks like a mime, very, very tall, but now he is bent over to talk to himself… Youxiang looked up at him, and said, “Are you a demon?”

“Huh? No, no…”

“Why use interrogative sentences to answer interrogative sentences?”

“Because I don’t know! So what, I’ve been wandering around here by myself for a long time, about a few days…? I couldn’t find the exit, and I couldn’t see other people. When I was about to go crazy, I saw you Down here.” The man replied, “So… do you know what this is?”

“It’s a world of dreams…” It didn’t feel like he was lying, and although he couldn’t believe him directly, Youxiang still replied, “Someone told me that only when people fall asleep and die will come.” here.”

“It’s time to die…” As if suddenly realizing it, the man was a little discouraged.He straightened up, then took out a cigarette from his clothes and lit it, “It looks like I’m really dead. Is this hell?”

“Not.”

“No~ That’s right. How can there be a little girl like you in hell?”

“Xiaoxi told me that there is no hell… This used to be a paradise, but because the creator left, it was abandoned and became what it is now.” Youxiang explained, “Who are you? Are you a demon? “

I asked again.Do you look so devilish?The man replied with some difficulty, “I’m not a devil, little girl. I think I’m just a dead man.”

“But Xiaoxi said that the dead people won’t stay here for a long time… Did you just die?”

“I think so.” It should be.Because the memory is still very clear, as if it happened not long ago.Although there were no scars on his body, it felt like a day or two at most.The man said, “Little girl, you must have been killed too, right?”

“No.” I should not have died.If she really died, it was impossible for Xiaoxi not to come to her side.Youxiang took a look at the tattoo on her hand, but there was no reaction in the world of dreams.”I think the devil brought me here,” she said.

“Huh? Is there really a demon? What does it look like?”

“I don’t know. It seems that anything is fine. So you are also possible. Xiaoxi said~ Some people will become demons without realizing it!”

“That person named Xiaoxi talks a lot.” The man looked at Youxiang with no expression on his face. He seemed to have calmed down after confirming the fact of his death. “Then did he talk about how to ascend to heaven?” ?”

“No.” Youxiang looked around, but didn’t find anyone else, it was a bit scary… This place is actually very cold, if there is no Xiaoxi around, Youxiang would not be afraid at all.Because in the dream world, there is ‘that person’.It’s the person you don’t want to see the most.

Youxiang took off the coat she was wearing, then raised it up and returned it to the man in front of her: “Thank you. But Xiaoxi said that you can’t just trust people in the dream world.”

“He’s really annoying.” Who the hell is this Xiaoxi?The man took his coat and said, “Then where are you going now?”

“I don’t know, if you walk around, you should be able to meet the demon who brought me here.” Isn’t it really Xiaoxi…Xiaoxi, I’m very scared, come and find me.Stupid… Youxiang put her hands on her chest and said, “Then I’m leaving…?”

“…” Why did you move a little bit with a hesitant look?Seeing Youxiang’s appearance, the man almost understood, “I see~ I’ll accompany you—”

“demon!!”

“No! I want to accompany you with good intentions!”

“Hmm~”

It’s suspicious to be so active~~ He is obviously a man who looks like a villain!Wearing fancy clothes and weird face makeup!And smoke a lot!Youxiang looked at this person suspiciously, and she said, “What’s your name?”

“Won’t you say your name first?”

“Xiaoxi said that she can’t tell the devil her name!”

“Then I can’t tell you my name?”

“Well…then call your uncle!”

“Call me brother anyway!!” Why uncle! !Am I looking bad and old again? !If I’m dead, don’t hit me like this, I say!The man retorted for a while, and then said helplessly, “Then I’ll call you… cabbage.”

“What is that! Why cabbages!”

“Because I like cabbage. So you’re…cabbage chick!”

“No!!”

“I’ve already decided~”

“You really are a devil!! Uncle devil!!”

“What kind of scary creature is the uncle demon? Hey! It sounds really stinky!!”

The two of them were like this, and their relationship suddenly became better for some reason.Then we walked together.Although the dream world is boundless and has no exact direction, but no matter which direction you go, you can see the black city in the distance.

“That city is so strange.” The uncle devil said after a while, “No matter which direction you look, you can see it. You can walk towards it, but you can still see it when you turn around. And no matter how you go, you can’t Approaching.”

“Yeah. Xiaoxi said that there used to be the throne of the gods. So we can’t go there, and it seems that we can’t keep staring at it!” Youxiang replied, “And… I always feel that place is scary… Xiaoxi, where have you been?”

“You… really gave that thing a name?”

“Huh?!” An unfamiliar voice rang in Youxiang’s ear, it wasn’t from this uncle devil, it was from another… never heard before!She stopped abruptly, then looked around.no one…

“Huh? What’s the matter?” Uncle Demon didn’t seem to hear anything.

“I heard… a voice.” The voice was terrible.It’s different from Xiaoxi’s.Rather, it’s closer to the feeling of meeting Mister Fear for the first time.That voice is probably… the real devil’s.Was he the one who brought himself here?Why……

“Huh?” What sound? I didn’t hear anything.But… the uncle demon saw something, there seemed to be a figure in front of him, “Hey, do you think there is someone over there?”

That’s… that figure, with some thin and wobbly shadows.Youxiang is all too familiar.Even through the mist, he could be recognized, so he took two steps forward, and the figure spoke: “You Xiang, why don’t you come and help me?”

His tone was questioning, just like his previous eagerness.Every word feels like an accusation, but in reality, every word is…

“help me.”

help.I knew it clearly, but every time I acted as if I didn’t know it.She clearly knew what he meant, but there was no way to save him.I don’t know how to save him.It’s all my own fault.If I hadn’t made a promise to him at that time, if… I hadn’t said or done anything, wouldn’t he have been in so much pain?

“It’s fragrant, why?”

“sorry!”

“Why?!!”

“sorry!!!”

I don’t know what to say to him, I can only apologize.I can only apologize loudly to him.I wanted to run to him, but when I stretched out my hand——

“Hey, cabbage!” But the man beside her stopped her.Uncle Devil grabbed Youxiang’s hand and pulled her back, “Although I don’t know what a devil looks like, the thing opposite is definitely not who you think it is!”

What……?Youxiang suddenly came back to her senses, and she saw clearly that the figure behind the mist turned out to be a monster in a black, bloody, tattered robe.The monster came out from behind the mist with a hideous face, and hissed at Youxiang and the others as if complaining that the prey that had just arrived in its mouth flew away! !

“Cabbage! I say cabbage!! Stand up! Let’s run!!”

“Don’t call someone a cabbage so seriously, you bastard!!”

Although Youxiang wanted to escape quickly, the thing on the opposite side was too fast!They rushed over before they had time to do anything!Because there was no time to escape, the uncle devil immediately hugged Youxiang and tried to protect her with his body, but the moment the devil’s claws touched his furry coat——

The roar of the dragon came!The demon froze in place abruptly, as if time had stopped, it froze there, and fled into the mist the next second screaming!The remaining two looked at the sky in astonishment. A pure white dragon was planning to go there. After two circles, it also got into the black-purple clouds and disappeared without a trace.

“Am I dreaming…cabbage…?”

“This is… the world of dreams!” And who is the cabbage!

It turned out to be a dragon… Isn’t that a fantasy creature?Such a big one…pure white, quite handsome!Still thinking this way in his heart, the uncle demon came back to his senses, and he found that the surrounding scenery had changed at some point.In the fog that was originally empty, there was an extra platform, and there was nothing on the platform——

“I’ve been to this place,” he said, “I’ve been wandering around here for a while before I met you.”

“This altar…” It was pure white, like a tombstone.There should have been something on it, but it was taken away.Youxiang stood up, and she came to the front of the altar, and found a line of words floating on it——

“The louder I scream, the more frightened my soul becomes.”

It seems that I have heard the sentence somewhere… In what book did I read it?Youxiang was still thinking about it, but suddenly, there was a sound of tearing air in her ears, she raised her head, and a man with huge black feather wings descended from the sky, and Youxiang stepped back three steps in fear until she bumped into him to convince her Uncle Devil: “You…you are…”

“I am the source of your fear. Human beings.”

The man with wings landed on the ground. He had long black hair and was wearing a black tight top and leather pants and boots. The silver chains wrapped around his body made a slight sound. His attire was almost exactly the same as Xiao Xi’s, but his age He looks much older than Xiaoxi, and he has an almost coquettish appearance.

At this time, he showed a smile: “I… am arrogant. I am the strongest demon, the most terrifying nightmare you can touch.”

“Arrogance? Xiaoxi…?”

“Oh, you mean, the demon who made a contract with you. Oh… If you are serious, he and I are indeed the same thing. He is my successor.” The demon tilted his head arrogantly, He said, “But he is so useless. He can’t move because of a demon. Forget the two guys of anger and death, but the arrogance will be controlled by the demon. Isn’t this a joke?”

“Xiao, Xiaoxi…”

“Now is not the time to care about him, little human girl.” As if feeling Youxiang’s fear, Arrogance opened his huge black wings. Because these wings were too much like a night sparrow, Youxiang was afraid to hide In Uncle Devil’s coat.However, the more Youxiang hides, the happier this arrogance becomes:

“Your own problems are obviously bigger. I was only entrusted to help you, but I didn’t expect you to get into such a big trouble yourself. The moment you said ‘I will help you’, you There’s no going back. Human.”

Sure enough, I was brought here by… this demon.He is Xiaoxi’s senior, the… the most powerful demon that Xiaoxi said.True arrogance.You Xiang said, “But I…that person…”

“You can’t help him.”

“But I have promised him!”

“He cannot be helped. His fate, the fate of those whom he expects, cannot be changed.”

“He just…wanted to save his family…” Although I knew it.Although Brother Bazel also said that we can’t just change someone’s life or death.But I can’t ignore it, I can’t say that to him.Resign yourself to fate, your family must die.How could it be possible to say such words!

“…I really can’t help it.” I really don’t want to care about it… Arrogantly sighed.He said, “So regret it, but it’s too late. Human. The blue knight. This will become your responsibility and your mission. If you want to change their fate and save the ‘family’ .So…you should be familiar with this—this…huh?”

In the middle of speaking arrogantly, he originally waved his hand to signal the altar next to him.But when he turned his head, he found that there was nothing on the altar.He looked at the empty altar in shock, and got stuck in place for almost half a minute: “…”

“Hmm…Xiaoxi’s senior, what’s wrong?” Youxiang asked cautiously.

“Where did it go?” Mr. Arrogant looked at the empty altar in disbelief, and said, “It was still there just now. Such a big rebirth gem!”

“Huh? Rebirth Gem?!”

“Huh? That thing is a gem?”

Youxiang’s voice overlapped with Uncle Demon’s voice, they both glanced at each other, and then at the arrogant opposite.Arrogantly frowned, he said: “Spiritual body. It’s you, have you seen it? Did you take it? The rebirth gem?”

“This, this…” Uncle Demon suddenly showed embarrassment, “That is, are you sure it is a gemstone? Because, it is very soft, like a fruit… So…”

“so……?”

“Look, I’ve wandered around this place for so long. Although I don’t feel hungry or thirsty at all, I have to eat something, right? When I saw a crystal-clear fruit glowing red, I immediately …”

“You?!”

“Eat it.”

Arrogant and Youxiang just stared at this person (spiritual body) in a daze.There was silence for about five seconds to organize the language.But Pride said nothing.Whenever he feels that human beings are good enough, human beings will immediately break through his lower limit.But Youxiang choked out a sentence: “Don’t you have a stomachache?”

“Yeah. It’s okay. That thing doesn’t taste good at all. It has no moisture and no taste.”

——”Because it’s not something to eat at all!! What the hell is going on with you human beings!!” Finally, Mr. Pride went crazy, “Why! Why on earth would someone be able to eat the gem of rebirth! The experience is unheard of !! I have been alive since God created the world! This has never happened before!! You are amazing, I say!!”

“Thank you.”

“I’m not complimenting you!! How can anyone with a normal mind just eat something that doesn’t look good!! Even if they’re not normal, they won’t eat it!!”

Total gaffe, Mr. Pride.It’s not as scary as it was when it first came out.Youxiang looked at Arrogance who was already scratching her hair, and she said, “That, Mr. Arrogance! Calm down! That, the rebirth gem has been eaten! What should we do next?!”

“…” Hearing this question, Arrogance suddenly calmed down, he looked at Youxiang with a blank face (with ashen eyes), then turned around and left suddenly, “It’s hopeless, it’s over, just wait for death .”

“Hey?!! Wait, wait! Don’t give up so quickly! Mr. Arrogant!!”

“That’s right! I just ate something! It’s not my fault, I say! Isn’t it?!”

“If it’s not your fault, who else could it be?!” Arrogance couldn’t bear it and turned around to refute.Then he sighed deeply, as if deflated, and continued, “No way. Pale Knight. You have no choice now. To save whoever you want to save. Whether it’s the one who wants to save ‘family’ The old man, or the person in your heart who is waiting for the redemption of the ‘light’. You have to go back.”

“Go back with the ‘Gem of Rebirth’.”

“But…” Youxiang said, “There is no rebirth gem anymore?” Wasn’t it eaten!

Arrogance didn’t answer right away, he stood there and looked at the uncle demon.

“Huh?” Youxiang made an unbelievable voice, “Isn’t it? It’s not what I thought, is it? Then? Mr. Arrogant? Don’t you?” Do you want to bring this strange ghost uncle? !

“Yes. Otherwise, what else can I do.” Mr. Arrogant also looked helpless, “It’s troublesome… In short, the method has been told to you. As for the reason… because you chose to help ‘people who cannot change their fate’. If If you want to persevere, the only way to go is to get the gem of rebirth. Of course, you can also give up. But in that case, the demons parasitic on you will grow wantonly because you violated your heart, and then kill you.”

“………”

“If you want to live, you can only do this. Even if you do it, you may die, but if you don’t do it, you will die. This is a road full of thorns, not peaceful, and alone. The blue knight ——Youxiang. Make your own decision.”

The author has something to say:

Are demons very careless?

That’s right.They are very careless.But this one’s arrogance is actually very powerful, Xiaoxi is the kind of very young devil, who doesn’t understand anything, and doesn’t know anything.And that’s just arrogance in its fullest form.I also said before that because he fell in love with humans, he left.Xiaoxi was born.
