Esther frowned and opened the door in front of him again. It was still the same room as before.
"It feels like I've fallen into a horror movie." Esther said to himself as he looked at the empty room without any changes.
"Just be direct and blow up the entire space." Dark red magic power condensed on Esde's hand.
Just as he finished speaking, the walls on all sides of the room collapsed instantly, and Esther was able to walk out of the damn maze. Outside the wall, there was a pure white space.
Esther thought to himself what he should have done earlier.
Disperse the magic power condensed in your hands.
But after a while, Esther began to look around at this pure white space. It was spacious, white, and seemed to have no end in sight. It was completely opposite to the fearful space that the nightmare had created for itself.
However, the negative emotions generated by staying in such a space are definitely not small.
It's like the abyss and the end of the world in Pirates of Gallibee.
There is no one in such a vast place, and it doesn't matter if you are alone for a short time. But as time goes by, anxiety and loneliness will slowly invade people's hearts. In the end, the fear will not be less.
.
Humans, after all, are still social animals.
After walking in such a place without reference for a long time, you will always feel numb. Even Esther cannot avoid this. He can only keep dripping his blood on the pure white ground to ensure that he can walk safely.
is a straight line.
Stop and go, there are no celestial bodies in the sky, and it is impossible to distinguish between day and night. The only mobile phone that can be used to check the time has no effect in this nightmare space.
In such a vast space, he was really at a loss.
If he really couldn't get out, he could only destroy the nightmare along with the space.
"Huh?" Esther suddenly stopped walking.
Because he found that a bed appeared in front of him at some point, and there was a person lying on the bed.
Perhaps it was Nightmare who guessed Esther's thoughts, which finally caused some changes to appear before his eyes.
"We're here." Looking at the girl on the bed, Esther whispered.
Esther came to the bedside and was surrounded by blue flowers. These were the flowers of the ghost lantern grass. The blue color decorated this extremely monotonous space.
"Ghost-cage lantern grass has the effect of requieming souls, but its withered flowers are called the guiding light of the dead." Esther looked at the sleeping girl on the bed and whispered: "She is about to die."
"Yes -" The black mist was like an ink stain falling into water.
"Do you think that since you are in your nightmare space, I can't do anything to you? Do you dare to appear in front of me because you want to know how death is written?" Esther said lightly.
"I don't want to die yet -"
"Can you save her-"
Esther looked at Nightmare, and its cloudy eyes seemed to be filled with chaos.
"If you don't want to die, wouldn't it be better to change the host, or do you have feelings for your current host?" At this point, Esther seemed to almost laugh, as if it was the worst thing he had ever heard.
Funny joke.
Nightmare's answer did not disappoint him.
"One Eye controls her life stone. Once I change the host, One Eye will kill me and her together -"
Nightmare repeated to Esther, "I don't want to die——"
"So, you want me to help you?" Esther narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Nightmare acquiesced to Esther's words.
"It's not impossible to ask me to help, but you have to give something." Esther said to Nightmare.
Nightmare's cloudy eyes stared at Esther and said, "What do you want?"
Esther smiled, "Let me think about, for example, your freedom?"
Nightmare said: "You want to control me, just like One Eye -" This is something it cannot accept. It is precisely because One Eye controls it that it always lives in the gap between life and death.
"You have no choice, either agree to my proposal, or die with her." Esther pointed emotionlessly at Liya, who was sleeping on the pure white bed.
Nightmare glanced at his host silently.
In the end, it could only compromise with Esther: "Okay, let's make a deal——"
"You agreed so quickly, which saved me a lot of trouble." Esther said: "What are your plans? Are you going to change the host, or continue to be a parasite on her?"
Esther walked to Liya's bedside and asked Nightmare.
The nightmare's distorted voice replied: "One Eye can sense me, but I can't leave her body."
Esther nodded understandingly, "In other words, you can't leave her, at least until One-Eye dies."
Esther suddenly said: "Why don't you just let me out and let me go and kill One-Eye directly? This way, it will be over once and for all."
Nightmare looked at him with cold eyes, and had no intention of letting Esther leave. Although it had reached a deal with Esther, it did not mean that it trusted him.
"It doesn't look like there's anything to talk about." Esther knew from the Nightmare's expression that the other party wouldn't agree. Anyway, he just casually tested it to see how intelligent the Nightmare was.
"Since I can't separate you from her body, I can only seal you in her body." Esther said: "As long as you wake up for a moment, you will unconsciously devour her spirit and even soul. In the end,
, her soul is broken, her body dies, and you will die with her."
"So, I can only seal you. Although it cannot completely solve the process of you devouring her soul, the speed will be much slower. At least, it will allow you to live for a while. As for the next problem, it is not my responsibility.
Don’t worry anymore.” Esther put his finger on Liya’s snow-white forehead.
Blood overflowed from his fingers, forming a sealing array on Liya's head.
During the sealing process, Nightmare did not put up any resistance, which also made Esther's seal go very smoothly. After a short while, the seal was completed.
At the last moment of falling asleep, Nightmare said to Esther: "Remember your promise, vampire."
"Also remember your promise, from now on, your freedom will be completely taken away." Esde also said.
"I just want to live -" Nightmare's voice gradually disappeared.
After losing the power of the nightmare, the pure white space began to fragment, and Esther knew that he was about to leave.
"Although the development is different from what was expected, the result is the same. It's enough. I wonder what's going on outside?" Esther said to himself, then picked up Liya, who was still sleeping, and took her with him.
, walked out of this nightmare-created space together.
