Magic City, the revolving restaurant on the top floor of Jinzhu Building.
Even though this is one of the most expensive places in the entire Magic City, if you want to have a meal here, you often need to make a reservation three months in advance!
But today, there are only busy service staff here, not a single guest.
Because, we are about to receive a distinguished guest here!
Three of the world's top chefs have come here in advance to prepare their own specialties.
When the time comes to seven o'clock, the magical city at night begins to give off a hazy scene...
A young man with great beauty slowly walked into the revolving restaurant.
The boss and manager immediately greeted the young man and saluted him respectfully.
The young man nodded slightly, ignoring the middle seat carefully arranged for him in the restaurant, and randomly found a seat by the window.
Then he sat there and stared at the scenery outside in a daze.
The charming secretary put aside the knife and fork in front of the young man, took out a pair of white jade chopsticks from her small bag and placed them in front of him.
After a while, the dishes were brought up one after another. The young man withdrew his eyes and began to taste them.
The only sound in the entire restaurant is the sound of young people picking up food and chewing food. You can almost hear the drop of a pin!
The service staff, three of the world's top chefs, the owner of Jinzhu Building and the restaurant manager all looked at the young man in awe, not daring to make the slightest move!
Because in front of them is a true legend!
The young man grew up in an orphanage and attended a government welfare school.
When I was ten years old, I became a god by writing a book and earned my first pot of gold.
When he was twelve years old, he founded Lanxun Group, and the instant messaging software TT developed by it became popular all over the country!
When he was fourteen years old, he established an online shopping platform called Aliduoduo, which changed the world's shopping habits in just two years!
At the age of sixteen, he began to penetrate into the physical field. Physical industries such as chips, lithography, game consoles, etc. swept the world, forming a complete hegemony in the gaming field from upstream to downstream!
At the age of eighteen, he began to enter the military industry and cooperated with many countries to establish joint laboratories!
Now the young man is twenty years old and is already a giant who can make the whole world tremble by just stomping his feet!
What?
You say this is unreasonable?!
Please, it’s just a dream. Is it necessary to pursue rationality?
Just feel good and that's it!
The young man is Lando, and he is in his dream at this time.
After he made an agreement with Tai Lun Zhinao that day, he simply exchanged a few words with Nalan Xin and others who came with him, and then went to Pandaria alone.
The reason why he dared to do this was naturally because he was confident!
After entering Pandaria, Lando fell directly into a dream, his own dream.
Although the familiar scenes in the dream made him miss it very much, this place was just a fantasy for him, and leaving was just a thought!
Of course, that would be equivalent to directly crushing the dream, and Pandaria would directly return to reality, which would be useless in solving the dream incident.
So Lando let the dream develop and did whatever he wanted, just to have some fun.
Anyway, time in dreams is distorted. Generally speaking, the twenty years of experience in his dreams can be regarded as a few lines of text in a book, which can be skipped at a glance.
Only a few hours have passed since the outside world!
After finishing a sumptuous dinner, Lando lazily held his chin with one hand, scratched slightly in the air with his other hand, and pulled out a strange bronze mask out of thin air.
It's the championship prize I got at the Star Marks Amusement Park... [Nightmare Face]!
The moment Lando took out the [Nightmare Face], the entire dream world came to a strange standstill.
In fact, as early as when the spaceship Lando and his companions were approaching Pandaria, the [Nightmare Face] started to move strangely.
After learning the whole story, Lando speculated that even if the civilization that created the "Nightmare Face" was not the original native of Pandaria, it was at least inextricably linked to it.
After Lando entered Pandaria, [Nightmare Face] began to crazily devour this special energy generated by the combination of dream power and dimensional energy.
When Lando first entered his dream, although the [Nightmare Face] was there, it was in a virtual state at the time, and he could only see a vague shadow.
After twenty years in the dream, it slowly became a physical state.
Lando could feel that after this process from reality to reality, from reality to reality, [Nightmare Face] seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation and became completely different!
The original [Nightmare Face] only has the effect of making people have nightmares. Even if you use it on the same person multiple times, it will only make them nervous at most.
Although it is claimed to be a strange object, overall it is just a toy with some magical abilities.
And now...
Lando chuckled and put the [Nightmare Face] on his face.
After waiting for so long, please don’t let me down!
Suddenly, the bronze mask seemed to be directly attached to his face, but his perspective was not blocked in the slightest by wearing the mask.
Wisps of illusory power began to gather around Lando, gradually intertwining into a black cloak and covering him.
The dream world undergoes strange changes in his eyes.
He stretched out his hand forward, and there appeared in front of him...a mirror!
The mirror was blurry. The moment Lando touched the mirror, his perspective changed again and extended beyond the mirror!
Mirror after mirror seemed to be piled up endlessly in the empty space, and in each mirror there was a figure sleeping in it.
The mirror Lando is in is one of them!
Smiling slightly, he stepped out...
It seems to be moving forward, but it seems to be falling; it seems to be in the blink of an eye, and it seems to be a long time later.
Noisy sounds filled his ears, and Lando came to a city where wildness and technology coexisted.
After briefly recalling the information Amy had shown him before, he was roughly sure that this should be the capital of the Tyran Empire... Loyai!
Orcs in a hurry, peaceful and leisurely tourists, and carefree children form a bustling downtown scene.
A group of children ran past Lando. One of them, a girl with pink fox ears, stopped in front of Lando and looked around suspiciously.
It wasn't until her companion called her that she threw away the little doubts in her heart and ran towards her companion.
Lando glanced at the little girl who passed right through him, stretched out his hand, still dressed in the black cloak, and turned to look at the glass of the street shop, which reflected the passers-by and the scenery, but there was nothing
His figure.
Reality?!
No!
This is a deeper dream world!
It is a huge dream composed of everyone in the entire Pandaria who fell into a dream. It is a deeper dream world than the personal dream Lando experienced before!
[Nightmare Face] once again began to absorb special power as before.
After thinking about it, Lando still didn't take any other action. He was already looking forward to the subsequent changes of [Nightmare Face]!
Just like a ghost, Lando began to wander in the dream world of Pandaria.
A year later, when he passed by a certain school, he met the pink fox-eared girl again.
At this time, she was walking hand in hand with another girl on her way home from school.
Suddenly, the pink fox-eared girl stopped, looked around excitedly, and shouted, "Dad, is that you?"
Lando was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused.
Another girl asked particularly strangely: "Xiaotong, what's wrong with you? Isn't your father already..."
Xiaotong didn't get a response, and couldn't help but said in despair: "Mom told me that after death, people will enter another world, where they will watch their relatives. I just felt my father looking at me!"
Another girl said speechlessly: "That's all a lie to children. Do you believe it?"
Xiaotong said firmly: "You don't understand. I have felt similar gazes before. It must be my father looking at me from another world!"
Seeing Xiaotong's firm tone, the other girl glanced at the sun in the sky and felt that the surrounding area seemed a little colder.
"Xiaotong, don't scare me!"
As they moved further and further away, the conversation between the two girls gradually became quieter.
Lando thinks it's time to leave Loyai and go see farther places!
time flies……
Five years!
ten years!
fifteen years!
Lando traveled to many places in Pandaria, and also discovered an interesting thing!
The degree of time distortion in the dream world is far greater than that in personal dreams!
In his personal dream, Lando experienced twenty years, and a few hours passed in the real world!
In the dream world, sixteen years have passed, but only a few minutes have passed in the real world!
[Nightmare Face] Although it is constantly devouring energy, the progress is quite slow. Obviously it will take a long time to complete the next transformation!
Lando returned to Loyayi again and wandered around this bustling city at will.
Suddenly, a series of salutes interrupted his meditation. When he looked up, he saw a newlywed couple undergoing a ceremony.
The groom is a gentle orc with a gentle temperament, and the bride is actually Xiaotong, whom she has had a relationship with before. The bridesmaid accompanying her can also be vaguely recognized as another girl who had a good relationship with Xiaotong back then.
.
The moment Lando turned his gaze to their group, Xiao Tong seemed to feel something. He suddenly looked back and looked in Lando's direction. His eyes were full of surprise, with tears surging in them.
Seeing the bride's behavior, everyone else thought she was crying with joy. Only the bridesmaid seemed to have thought of something and followed her eyes, but naturally found nothing.
Does this little girl think that he is her father coming to see her get married?
Lando thought a little dumbly, but it had no impact on him. He felt that he was quite destined to this girl named Xiaotong.
Time passes again...
ten years!
Twenty years!
Thirty years!
…
During this period, he also met Xiaotong several times again. Lando found that as time went by, the former gradually could no longer feel his presence!
It seems that some of Xiaotong’s qualities are gradually disappearing as she gets older!
In front of the hospital bed, the old Xiaotong has entered the last moments of her life.
Her children, grandchildren, relatives and friends all gathered around the hospital bed, and they were not too sad, because Xiaotong had a happy and healthy life, and it was considered a happy death to live to such an old age!
Lando also watched her quietly.
Suddenly, Xiao Tong tried her best to open her eyes wide and pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something.
Her son hurriedly came forward and heard Xiaotong say such words...
"Is it you, Dad? Have you come to pick me up?"
When Xiaotong's breath disappeared, Lando followed his premonition and came to another hospital.
Here, a little girl with pink fox ears was just born. Her mother called her...Little Tong!
Lando watched all this quietly, and after a long time said to himself: "Dream reincarnation?"
The little girl named Xiaotong gradually grew up. One day, she seemed to sense something. She opened her eyes wide and looked into the air and asked: "Dad, is that you?"
a hundred years!
Two hundred years!
Three hundred years!
…
Lando discovers that this dream world is more interesting than he imagined!
After five hundred years, [Nightmare Face] finally swallowed up enough special energy and changed again!
Spiral patterns appeared on the smooth mask, and strands of gold appeared on the edges of the black cloak, which outlined some strange patterns.
A group of tangible and illusory light appeared in Lando's hand, which made him understand that he could turn it into any weapon he wanted.
Looking at his own attire, Lando playfully transformed the illusory light into a black sickle.
It looks like he is dressed like the legendary God of Death!
The perspective changes again. Looking 'up', the void space there contains independent dreams of intelligent life. The layer I am on is a larger dream world. Looking 'down', there are still dreams there.
There is a deeper darkness!
With a chuckle, he made a sudden stroke with the sickle in his hand, and a passage leading to a deeper dream appeared in front of Lando. Without hesitation, he stepped directly into it.
The space is turning!
Time is twisting!
Some deep darkness is constantly surging, there is no good, and it is not evil!
When Lando stopped, he had already arrived in front of a primitive and barbaric tribe.
When the people in the tribe saw his attire, they immediately knelt down in fear. Some colorfully dressed natives who looked like priests sang and danced around him to worship while playing primitive rhythms.
This tribe is very large, and there may be millions of people if you look at it.
Ignoring these natives, Lando looked up at the sky. After observing for a while, he came to a conclusion.
here……
It is the dream of the world!
You can also think of it directly as a historical reflection of Pandaria!
Lando withdrew his gaze and looked at the natives who were worshiping around him again, a strange guess vaguely emerged in his mind.
Are these guys...
The natives of Pandaria?!
In the records of the Tyran Empire, there are only some simple descriptions of these natives such as 'crazy', 'evil', and 'vulnerable'.
The final result is that the clan has been exterminated!
