When not in love, Sandman is still relatively reliable.
When he made the decision to go to hell to redeem Nada's soul, it was not out of impulse...
Well, this decision does seem to have been made on impulse - desire mocked him, and after the second sister bluntly said that he had indeed done something wrong, Morpheus seemed to have no idea and immediately decided to save Nada.
But there is a long period of time between making a decision and officially setting off.
He is not like the domineering CEOs on TV, who follow the wind and let the rain come, and vent their emotions when they arise.
After several days, the Sandman summoned the vassals of the Dream Kingdom and made corresponding arrangements based on the three outcomes of the trip to hell.
One result is that everyone is happy, he returns safely with Nada's soul, and the kingdom does not need to make any changes.
The second result is relatively poor. He was torn apart by Lucifer, a new Sandman was born, and the subjects obeyed him honestly... It doesn't matter if they don't obey. The new Sandman has as much power as him and can easily
Subdue rebellious ministers.
The third outcome - he is imprisoned by Lucifer, which is the worst case scenario.
In response to this possibility, Morpheus made a lot of arrangements to ensure that the chaos in the Dream Kingdom when he was imprisoned by mortals would not happen again.
After the vassals left, Morpheus left the court officials behind and explained them secretly before leaving the palace to say goodbye to his brothers and sisters, and finally to his friends.
On earth, Sandman has only two mortal friends. One mortal was an Englishman who was blessed by his second sister to live forever hundreds of years ago.
He and the Sandman meet once in a hundred years.
But this does not mean that Morpheus's social circle is small.
The Morpheus that Harley saw was only the Earth 'Morpheus', not all of Sandman.
No one can see the whole "dream".
Because in addition to earthlings dreaming, aliens also dream, and cats, dogs and other animals can also dream.
Why did Martian Manhunter immediately kneel down and salute when he saw Sandman at the "War God's Banquet" last time?
Because Martian civilization also has Sandman.
The reason why Nada and Morpheus have a sad relationship is that there is also a Sandman in Nada's civilization?
There are as many Sandman clones as there are races.
There are countless races in the universe, and Sandman must have many friends.
He said goodbye to them one by one and received many blessings.
Only with Harley, he did not receive blessings, only a helping hand.
——Maybe you can survive this time?
Morpheus thought with complicated emotions.
After hesitating for a moment, he still maintained his dream and jumped into the dream kingdom, flashing rapidly in one dream after another.
"found it."
In a dream of an old French woman, as a child she was playing in her grandfather's wine cellar when the Sandman suddenly appeared and took a bottle of wine from the cupboard.
"What is this?" Harley asked confused.
She couldn't see the scene outside, but she could read part of the thoughts he transmitted to her.
"In 1828, there was not a single bottle of Chateau Lafite left on the planet. Some can only be found in the dreams of some old people. In a few years, no one will even dream about it." Morpheus said calmly.
road.
The next moment, he jumped into another dream.
A British lord with a beard is helping a lady repair her computer.
"Shit, Queen of England?" Harry didn't recognize the person because he was decades younger.
But the man called her Your Majesty, and the scene in the dream was copied from Buckingham Palace in full proportion.
"Hi, Hob." Morpheus greeted the bearded Lord.
"Oh, my God, Morpheus? You..." Sir Beard looked down and saw the wine bottle in his hand, and wondered: "Did you come a little early?"
Or is the world restarting, affecting my memory.
We meet once a hundred years... We just met ten years ago."
The scene in the Buckingham Palace study next to him quickly faded into white light, leaving only him and Morpheus.
His dream is waking up, and the scenes in the dream are disappearing, although he is still in the dream.
"Well, you were in a dream and your memory is normal."
Morpheus gave a rare smile, a glass appeared out of thin air in his left hand, and the cork of the wine bottle in his right hand bounced off with a "bang".
"What special day is today? Your birthday?" Lord Hob asked in confusion.
Morpheus handed over the wine glass and said: "Only those who are born will have birthdays."
"What's the meaning?"
"Today is not my birthday, but it may be my memorial day... Well, that was before, and now... I had planned to come to say goodbye to you, but now there are changes, I still come.
"
"Before, now... you made me confused." The bearded man said confusedly.
"I'm going on a long trip, let's have a drink."
"It tastes really good," Hob said, smacking his lips.
"The rest is for you." Morpheus handed over the bottle.
"Oh, thank you, although this is just a dream."
Morpheus disappeared, and in the bedroom of a mansion in London, there was an extra bottle of red wine on the bedside... half of which was drunk.
"You don't need to say goodbye to them anymore," Harley said.
"Lucifer will never hand over Nada's soul easily. You know this better than me." Morpheus sighed.
Harry did know that he had humiliated Lao Lu in front of millions of demons last time, and Lao Lu would not be humiliated a second time without resistance anyway... Although Lao Lu seemed to have been humiliated often in the past few years.
.
"If you and I cooperate, nothing will happen," she said.
"But Nada's soul is in Lucifer's hands, and he has the absolute initiative..." After a moment of pause, he solemnly said: "Harry, I will not let you die."
"I'm not touched by this at all. If you really want to thank me, when we take Nada's soul out of hell alive, you can also give me a bottle... No, I want to fill the wine cellar.
Lafite in 1828.”
"Okay, there's no need to visit other friends. Once the final arrangements are made, we'll wait for Kane to come back."
...
Kane is the Cain of the Dream Kingdom.
He was regarded as a messenger by Morpheus and sent to hell.
"Ahhhhh..."
At this time, under the bloody red clouds in the depths of hell, Kane's miserable howl resounded across the sky.
Lucifer spread his wings and soared, and the fallen angel's black wings flapped gently. His figure was like an arrow, streaking across the land of magma, fire, smoke, ice, howling undead, and rampant demons.
His right hand grabbed Kane's hair and lifted him up to fly in the sky.
"Look, do you see clearly? This is hell. What do you think of when you see them? Millions of demons and countless mortal souls. Can you find a trace of happiness?"
"Ah ah ah, spare me!" Kane struggled with his limbs and burst into tears, "I'm just a messenger."
Lucifer glanced down boredly, "Why can't you follow my train of thought?"
"Pain, struggle, despair... I only see these, no happiness." Kane cried.
"That's all?" Lucifer was dissatisfied and continued to hold his hair and walked around hell twice, from the first level to the ninth level.
"I also saw eternity...things here are boringly repeated over and over again."
"What else?" Lucifer asked.
"And..." Kane thought quickly and thought hard, "Your Majesty, can you stop? I'm dizzy and my whole body hurts."
"You know the Snotics, right? They read the Gospel of Judas and firmly believe that I created heaven and hell. They also worship you and believe that only by releasing the desires in your heart like you can you be saved."
"That 'Cain' is not me. I am a dream creature, as harmless as the Easter Bunny." Kane said aggrievedly.
"You are such a boring guy." Most of the interest in Lucifer's eyes disappeared.
"I'm giving you a hint, don't you understand? The proportion of Snothians going to hell is not higher than that of other sects."
"I can't see it," Kane said with a cry.
"Look with your heart, you are Cain, and you can feel the cry of believers."
"I can't feel it, I'm not Cain." Cain yelled.
"Then have you ever killed a brother?"
"I couldn't help but kill every day, sometimes three times a day." Kane said.
"So, you are Cain, the existence they believe in."
Kane tried to relax his mind, and slowly, he actually heard a faint cry.
"Ah, I heard it, Your Majesty, you are right, the depraved Snostic sect is calling me." He screamed in surprise for a while, and then asked doubtfully: "But what's the use of it?"
Lucifer landed on a desolate hill, threw Kane aside, looked up at the sky and said: "There is no happiness here, only the same pain and despair.
There is no faith here either. There are more Christians than mortals, but even less extreme cult Snothians.
There is no hope here, we don't even have a say in the One above us.
There is only endless bondage here..."
He turned around and asked: "Your master once humiliated us in public, and we swore to destroy him. Do you know?"
Kane murmured: "There are rumors, but I'm not sure... Rumors are often exaggerated and untrue."
Lucifer turned back and continued to look at the turbid, dark red, low and depressed sky in the distance, "I can tear him apart easily."
"Your power is supreme, my master himself acknowledges that you are the greatest under God."
This time Kane was sincere and spoke firmly.
Because Morpheus really told him, and said frankly in front of all the ministers of the Dream Kingdom: God comes first, and the old road comes second. He is no match for Him at all, and he will probably never come back.
That's why he made arrangements for his funeral in advance.
"But I can only watch him leave proudly." Lucifer sighed.
"You have an open mind." Kane complimented.
"Haha..." Lucifer sarcastically smiled, "Why did I fall from heaven to hell?"
"You're proud..." Kane's face changed slightly and he couldn't continue.
Lucifer has the most proud heart and cannot bear the "humiliation" of kneeling before the Son of God, which shows how small-minded he is.
His Sandman master publicly humiliated Him, and the feeling of humiliation must be ten or a hundred times stronger than kneeling before the Holy Son.
"Yes, I am a proud person, but my pride has been riddled with holes by you..." Lucifer's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Now, he is here again,
I want to stab him again."
Kane didn't dare to look up, his body trembling under the gloom, depression, anger and many other substantial emotions emanating from him.
Lucifer looked into the distance, with a hint of confusion on his face, and murmured softly: "Now, do you still think that 'ruling hell is better than serving heaven' (ps)?"
Lao Lu's heart was ups and downs, his emotions fluctuated violently, and he failed to control his momentum, which made the "brother killer" next to him on the verge of collapse in fear.
"Without a doubt, Your Majesty Lucifer, everything you said is right." He collapsed on the hill, covering his face and choking.
"Milton wrote in "The Lost Garden" that 'Lucifer rebelled against God, and then proudly declared that he would rather be king in hell than be a slave in heaven.'
But Witch Harley also wrote in her "Harry's Creation" that "all the angels in heaven call her 'aunt', and they will kowtow to her 100 times when they meet."
"This..." Kane was in a state of confusion, "Witch Harley wrote it blindly."
"Then why did you all believe Milton's lies? I didn't say anything at all. I didn't say anything."
