The sound of old dreams is like a cold desert, causing everyone's heart temperature to drop to freezing point.
Flameheart looked at his companions in disbelief.
He clearly remembered the process of getting acquainted with Jiu Meng. It was a few years ago. When they had just left the city-state and stepped into this wasteland, the two had a fierce argument and almost started a fight. It was the giant arm that beat them both.
After a pause, it finally stopped.
He clearly remembered the memories of the three of them forming a team, hunting, harvesting, and fighting in the wilderness, the bonfires, the starry nights, the laughter, and the bloody battles.
How could such a person be an insect in disguise?
Are these bugs already able to imitate humans to this extent?
The more Flame Heart thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
He was sweating coldly, his face was pale, and he was in a trance while looking at the dull old dream.
"Calm down, calm down, maybe the old dream is controlled by some mysterious power. As long as we leave this ruins, as long as we leave this ruins, he will get better."
Flameheart explained that it was not just for old dreams, but also for herself.
By now, even if Yan Xin doesn't admit it with her mouth, she already knows everything in her heart.
He is not a human being.
But like those wilderness hunters, they thought they were human bugs.
The insect queen in the Nameless City has the power to control people's hearts, and naturally also has the power to control the hearts of the insect swarm. In order to deceive people who come to the nameless city, the insect queen controls the spirits of some of the insects she gave birth to, making them think that she is
Humans are wasteland hunters. They walk in the nearby wasteland, tricking other wasteland hunters into exploring the city and becoming food for the insect queen.
The appearance of this body, these memories, this personality, and even the current fear were all given to it by the Queen of Insects.
Even the emotion of despair is hypocritical.
Genuine fakes.
Flameheart took two steps back and fell onto the gravel.
He suddenly laughed wildly, as if he was laughing at this twisted world.
His laughter echoed in the ruins of the night and soon started to tremble.
"Hahahaha...haha...ha..."
Flame Heart's voice finally got stuck, and her laughter stopped abruptly.
His expression was dull, numb, and rigid, like a puppet who had given up on performing.
"Halloween."
Cursing words came out of his mouth.
The giant arm was just silent.
He glanced at Lu Jian and then at his companions.
The fear disappeared from his eyes, and Juzhuan took out the energy bar Lu Jian gave him from his chest pocket, tore open the package and took a bite.
“It’s really delicious.”
Juzhuo said with emotion while chewing.
"Can you please do something for me?"
At this point, even if it is a false memory and personality, Ju Wan still wants to resist a little bit.
"Can you please let me die as a human being?"
He dropped the energy bar packaging and opened his arms.
The corners of Juzhuan's mouth twitched, and his lips opened and closed, as if he was about to make a sound, but he tried to suppress it. He was in some pain, and opened his mouth again. This time, he exhausted all his strength, and Juzhuan could not restrain it.
The arrival of the instinctive end.
"Ten thousand......"
The painful expression suddenly changed to numbness, dullness, and stagnation. The moment the corner of Juzhu's mouth dropped, Shia raised her hand.
Bang——
The giant wrist's head exploded, and the whole person collapsed. The blood seeped into the silver gravel, showing a deep color.
In the eyes of Lu Jian, who understood the truth, and in the field of vision of [True Vision], these three wilderness hunters had already turned into hideous, ugly, pitch-black insects.
The power exerted on them has completely disappeared. At this moment, Giant Arms, Flame Heart, Old Dream, and the other team of Iron Fist, Faceless and others have completely disappeared from this world.
Only monsters that look exactly like other bugs are left.
Shia waved her hand to free the other two people. She bit her lower lip lightly, as if she couldn't accept this situation.
"Are they humans or insects?"
The mage girl didn't know whether wasteland hunters like Big Arm, Flameheart, and Old Dream really existed, or whether these were just the inventions of the Insect Queen from beginning to end.
Is it true that many years ago, there really was such a group of wilderness hunters who accidentally entered here and were killed by the insect queen and then collected their memories?
Have similar tragedies been staged thousands of times in this nameless city?
Although the Queen of Insects has been killed, there may not be similar tragedies in the future, but there are hundreds of thousands of people who have suffered disasters in the past?
Moreover, the cognition of these people has been completely rewritten, and they are unable to detect all this. So, have human beings themselves also had their cognition rewritten by some more supreme existence?
Even myself here can't prove that I'm not just a lump of flesh, I've just been given false memories and a disguised body.
Siya felt like her rationality was ignited like burning wood. Her eyes blurred for a while, and her brain felt like it was being driven into by a red-hot iron rod and stirred wildly. The girl couldn't help but squat down to relieve the pain.
She could clearly see that there seemed to be an invisible finger scratching across the irregular gravel on the ground, writing systematic words.
【You know the crazy truth】
【Sanity-2】
She was breathing heavily, and her eyes were bloodshot.
At this time, Lu Tan's hand suddenly placed on Xia's shoulder.
Shia turned to look at her companions.
Lu Kan's expression became serious, indifferent, and lacking in agility.
He opened and closed his mouth and uttered a word that shocked Shia's spirit.
"Halloween."
The mage girl suddenly straightened her body, and the discomfort caused by the decrease in rationality disappeared, replaced by extreme nervousness and a conditioned reflex to raise her hands.
Just as the spell in his palm was about to take shape, Lu Tiao suddenly grinned.
"I lied to you."
He showed a mischievous smile and patted Shia on the shoulder again.
"Stop, don't do it, we are one of our own, I was just pretending, I was just pretending!"
Lu Tuan hurriedly stopped Shia from smashing the Void Explosion Technique onto himself.
"How's it going? Are you feeling a little better now and not so sad?"
He also proudly asked about Sia.
"...I should still thank you?"
Shia raised her eyebrows.
"You're welcome, it should be done."
Lu Tan replied.
Shia threw the Void Explosion Technique in her hand.
The invisible energy ball passed by Lu Tan's ears and flew into the distance, making a sharp explosion.
"..."
Lu Tiao felt that he might have just experienced the biggest life crisis since entering the Quiet Place.
"The mission has been completed, we can go back."
Shia put down her hands and used magic. She had never felt so powerless.
In the past, Shia believed that magic could solve all problems. If it couldn't solve the problem, then it was because she didn't learn enough magic.
But now, she discovered that some things really couldn't be solved with magic.
The impact on her cognition made Shia feel far more tired than the crazy scenes she saw.
"...We can keep in touch in this way in the Quiet Land. If we encounter some missions that we can participate in together in the future, I will inform you."
After Lu Tan simply told Shia what Drizzt had told him, he suddenly had an inspiration.
"Don't you know a Chosen One named Du Danping?"
"who?"
Shia's face was full of doubts.
"No, it's nothing."
Lu Tan shook his head and immediately chose to return.
When he and Shia disappeared into the silver desert, everything fell into silence.
But, suddenly, a tentacle stretched out on the sand, and then a smaller insect crawled out of the desert. It didn't say Halloween in its mouth, it just dragged its slightly bloated abdomen, in the rising sun.
, climbing hard towards a corner of the city.
Just like the dawn will always come.
Life will always find a way.
