Chapter 1426 Sixty-eight. The Prophecy of the Eternal Dreamer
Lu Li looked down at the swamp below.
The oval dark yellow world is buried in the black earth, like an embryo, as if it contains life.
Explore along the edge of the eggshell-like swamp, which wraps the Midnight City on the ground and the Midnight City terminal underground. Gazing at the swamp, it seems that you can glimpse the trapped creatures in the yellow eggshells.
What do these lives trapped in the swamp represent, the nutrients in the embryo?
Regardless, those weirdos who had been reluctant to form an alliance were forced to face the swamp.
The membrane on the outer layer of the swamp blocked communication and prevented leaving. Lu Li did not confirm whether he could still enter because he could not do so yet.
Staying outside can exert greater power than rushing in.
"The only thing that can fight against the weird is the weird."
The eternal dreamer's whispers echoed in his ears as he sat at the window.
"Go to Dark Star City, you will find the answer there."
An underground city built by strange people and connected to the main line of the old sewer.
Lu Li had passed by there before, when it was still being pruned. As for the weird ones, a few months was enough for them to dig out a vast underground world.
Compared to this, Lu Li realized that the frequency of Eternal Dreamer's prophecies seemed to have become more frequent.
Because the development deviated from his prediction, or is it moving towards the predetermined future?
That's not a bad ending...
His dark eyes reflected the oval world under his feet. Lu Li recalled his inquiry at that time: "What can you tell me in the limited future you foresee?"
Instead of thinking about nothing but completing the goal like a tool, Lu Li is more accustomed to thinking.
"When you come to the old sewer, you will be guided into the hotel by a trace of blood. The spider weaving a trap lifts the skirt, and the ecstasy and bone-corrosive venom makes you lose yourself. When you wake up from the prison, you will encounter
The last bloodline trapped here. Protect it and escort it to Dark Star City..."
"So specific?"
"Because in the future you haven't asked yet, you will encounter it by chance."
As Lu Li inquired about the future and learned about the future, the thread called the clue was inevitably disturbed, and Lu Li could only approach it proactively.
——But the future after revealing the truth is also part of what the Ever Dreamer predicted.
“Is this going to fix the swamp?”
"Yes..." The Ever Dreamer raised his deep, wise, and indifferent eyes to all things, "The swamp will disappear on the earth... This is the final outcome."
But considering the forward-looking prophecy of the Ever Dreamer...it may not be Dark Star City that solves the swamp, but the countless possibilities that extend from it.
For example, Lu Li's last remaining method was to simulate the gaze of the vast deep space.
The swamp is no more mysterious than Prada. Under that star-gathering eye, a ghoul is indistinguishable from an ancient god.
It may only solve hidden dangers and cause greater trouble.
The owner of that eye is undoubtedly more likely to destroy this fragile world than the swamp.
Unless everything is irreversible, Lu Li will avoid simulated gaze.
"Come back soon."
On the eve of departure, the merchant brought the urging and concern of the twisted shadow.
"It won't be long."
…
Just like in the fable, the villagers sneered at the children who shouted "Wolf is coming". When the wolf actually appeared, the panicked villagers were in a hurry.
Lu Li was walking along the chaotic main sewer line. The weird people around him were looting, migrating, and screaming. To a certain extent, it was no different from the time when Belfast people crowded into the port and wanted to escape.
But there are also many weird things that go against the current like Lu Li.
The weirdos are scattered - but threats teach them to unite.
Wearing a black robe and wandering around the main plot, Lu Li later met the traces predicted by the Eternal Dreamer, who guided Lu Li into a simple cave hotel——
Densely packed spiders crawled in the dark corners covered with cobwebs, ranging in size from soybeans to the size of fists. Thousands of vicious compound eyes stared at the intruding uninvited guests.
Lu Li suddenly stopped, letting a group of spiders that looked like peas pass by first.
The prophecy described by the Eternal Dreamer seemed a bit charming, and it lifted his skirt and made him feel ecstasy. But it was just the poison floating in the air that made Lu Li lose consciousness. When he woke up, he had appeared in a dungeon and saw the Eternal Dreamer.
A prophetic "being" that needs protection.
A timid, thin alien with spider-like limbs and compound eyes.
He reminded Lu Li of Ida, the spider girl he briefly walked with in the illusion of Midnight City.
"Do you know where to get out of here?"
The Ever Dreamer didn't tell Lu Li what to do. Lu Li said at his own pace: "If you stay here, you will be killed."
"I can't get out."
The spider boy curled up his jointed limbs and hugged his thin body.
"Tell me how to get out, and I'll take you away."
Lu Li observed his body and thought about what the "last bloodline" predicted by the Ever Dreamer represented.
"I have no idea……"
The weak Spider Boy didn't know anything. Lu Li didn't waste any more time, unfolded his dream, and led the Spider Boy who was caught off guard out of the prison and appeared in a corner of the main line.
The spider boy was startled by Lu Li's power, and then panicked at suddenly entering a strange environment - it stayed in the prison longer than expected.
This emotion brought it close to the subconscious and brought it out, the only familiar existence, Lu Li.
Feeling his sleeve being pulled, Lu Li tilted his head slightly, and then carefully moved away the "last bloodline".
He noticed a familiar and obscure aura from a dark line in front of him.
With the spider boy who dared not let go of him, Lu Li approached the hidden line and brushed his palms against the muddy rock wall.
The sludge melted and collapsed, and a huge cave stretching out among the houses appeared in front of us.
Lu Li recognized this underground city that he had crossed paths with before - Margaret fell into this place and waited for a long, long time until he rescued her again.
This underground city that was once located between giant trees and swamps moved here?
Or is their meeting no coincidence?
Lu Li's intrusion was discovered by the "villagers". They gathered around and recognized Lu Li.
With no time to explain too much, Lu Li summoned the merchant and said before leaving: "The merchant will come and tell you what happened above."
…
A sea of colorful flowers and shrubs are clustered around.
Lu Li stood among the flowers.
Dreamer, lighthouse, tree whisperer...
These cursed titles are of little use when facing the swamp.
These flowers made the spider boy standing nearby recognize Lu Li: "Are you...a human? You are..."
Unfortunately, something seems to be affecting its sanity, making it difficult for it to think, and it falls into confused murmurs: "Are you my knight?"
"Why do you say that?"
The spider boy's temperament changed, becoming childish and noble: "In human stories, knights will appear to save the suffering princess."
"almost."
Lu Li was noncommittal because this was indeed what he was doing.
