Frankly speaking, Lucretia's mind was blank at this moment - it was blank for nearly two or three seconds before she regained her ability to think and realized what was happening in front of her.
What is more terrifying than falling into a nightmare that is contaminated and corroded by the children of the sun is that in the depths of this nightmare, he suddenly sees his father who has returned from the subspace. What is even more terrifying than this is that the sickle in his hand is slashing at his father's head.
neck.
Now, this scythe has lost its control, and the faint green fire is burning on its pitch-black blade and long handle. It is as if it has entered another dimension and can no longer be controlled by itself. Lucretia's whole body is stiff but she is trying in vain to hold on.
Holding the sickle in his hand, he held it in for a long time before saying: "You... the sickle in your hand is so unique..."
"Do you always act like this when you're nervous?" Duncan finally let go of his hand, and the green flames dissipated, "What's going on here?"
As the flames subsided, Lucretia finally felt that the scythe condensed by the power of dreams and curses was back in her hands. She hurriedly grabbed it and took a half step back to prepare to answer her father's question. However, the next moment
In a second, a sense of crisis suddenly struck from close by!
The "bad creatures" of the Sun's children finally reacted, and they obviously would not give their enemies a chance to talk about their daily lives in peace. With the flickering light and shadow in the sun, several shadows swooped behind Lucretia.
!
With almost no chance to think, Lucretia turned around suddenly, and the scythe in her hand turned into a long whip entwined with thorns. However, just when she was about to throw out the long whip, those who rushed towards her suddenly
The shadows suddenly stopped in mid-air and appeared, falling to the ground as if they had lost their source of power, and started struggling violently!
At the same time, Heidi, who was barely supporting herself by controlling several clones, suddenly felt the pressure around her lighten.
She transferred her "self" from one dying personification to another in good condition, and then watched in shock as the black-clothed figures around her fell down one by one, like fish being grilled by the scorching sun.
struggling hard on the ground.
The depths of their black coats of unknown material continued to swell and squirm, and those horrific limbs began to rot and decompose rapidly. Along with the nauseating sounds, the terrible stench and filthy pus and blood gradually spread from under their bodies.
Come.
Even as a professionally trained psychiatrist, Heidi couldn't help but take two steps back when faced with this scene. Then she seemed to notice something and subconsciously raised her head to look at the sky - but when she raised her head,
In an instant, she controlled her impulse again.
The terrifying experience of seeing the "son of the sun" when she looked up was still deeply imprinted in her mind, making her afraid to verify her guess.
At this moment, she heard the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of Lucretia say to her: "It doesn't matter, the sky is safe."
For some reason, this sentence seemed to carry some powerful power. Although there was no reason, a strong impression instantly appeared in Heidi's mind: the sky was safe.
She slowly raised her head and looked at the "sun" hanging high in the sky, glowing with heat.
That "thing" is still floating quietly above the forest, with countless twisted and tangled tentacles and pale eyes piled up like randomly growing meat balls, and the light is like a raging flame, rising and burning on the surface of this deformed and terrifying "meat ball".
——However, deep in the flame, a touch of green was spreading, and quickly covered the entire surface of the entity.
The moment she saw those twisted tentacles and pale eyes, Heidi could not help but feel a sense of fear in her heart. However, she soon realized that her mind had not been affected by this "witness".
erosion.
The pollution of the "son of the sun" seemed to be blocked by the spreading green fire, or... was eroded and assimilated by the latter, making it harmless.
The dying struggles and roars of the "inferior organisms" tortured Lucretia's eardrums. Those black-clothed human-like and inhuman things were dying quickly in the alienated sunlight, as if they were dissolving in strong acid. She was confused and confused.
Looking at this scene, he turned to look at Duncan: "What's going on?"
"I polluted their temporary sun and now it is 'toxic' to them.
"This is what I learned from Plande's 'Black Sun Incident' - these 'residues' can only survive under a specific 'sunlight'."
Duncan said calmly, then raised his head and stared at the twisted existence still floating quietly above the forest.
He thought of the "Black Sun" he had glimpsed through the "Golden Mask" before, and thought of the pale ancient god who was dying under the burning of the solar corona. However, compared with the "Black Sun" he saw originally, it was hanging high at the moment.
The things in the sky above this dream world are obviously much smaller and much weaker.
So...it seems that this is the "son of the sun" mentioned by those crazy believers.
Now, this descendant of the sun is rapidly being swallowed up by the polluted flames, and the light and heat it emits is being converted into something that can incinerate itself. However, this weird and terrifying "creature" does not show any painful reaction, and it still remains.
It just hangs high in the sky quietly and silently, as if there is no pain or fear at all.
Simply glowing and generating heat, just like... a real sun.
However, when Duncan looked at its pale eyes, he always felt that this thing actually had a mind - it was thinking, it was observing, it had purpose and reason, unlike the dying black sun that only wanted to extinguish itself.
, unlike those crazy cultists who only want to destroy the entire world.
What is this "creature" thinking about right now?
"What are you thinking about?" Duncan couldn't help asking in his mind.
"Can I go back?" Deep in the vague information sent back by Ghost Flame, he heard a voice that sounded calm and gentle, "There is nothing here that I want to find."
Duncan's eyes widened slightly for a moment.
However, the next moment, just when he wanted to establish more communication with this "son of the sun", an illusory roar suddenly came from the sky, and then the burning flame suddenly shrank as if it was collapsing inward.
It became a small dot, and the next moment, the ghost flames that lost their target suddenly scattered.
The "false sun" overlooking the forest disappeared.
A dim and slightly red sky light replaced the "sunny" sky at the previous moment, and the entire forest fell into a dusk-like atmosphere.
Lucretia's surprised voice came from the side: "You destroyed it?"
"No," Duncan shook his head slightly, talking about the information he had sensed just now, "it left. That was not its true body, but just a projection formed by a descendant of the sun in a dream, just like a beam for
The tentacles of perception - now it has withdrawn those tentacles from the dream."
Lucretia nodded thoughtfully, but soon she suddenly discovered something else: "Wait, where was the Annihilation Cult just now?!"
"He ran away," Duncan said casually. "When those 'inferior organisms' died, he continued to reduce his sense of existence, and then when the false sun in the sky collapsed and faded, he took advantage of the chaos and escaped."
When Lucretia heard this, she immediately frowned and subconsciously looked around the forest that had fallen into a dusk-like sky: "Damn... I was actually diverted... I should have left a curse on him...
"
"It doesn't matter," Duncan just waved his hand, "Let him run for a while first."
Lucretia was slightly startled when she heard this, raised her head and looked at Duncan: "You... let him go on purpose?"
Duncan did not answer her directly, but squinted his eyes slightly, as if sensing something, then smiled and shook his head: "Anyway, he has already seen me."
Then he didn't pay attention to Lucretia's sudden change in expression, but turned to look at Heidi, who was standing uneasily more than ten meters away, trying to reduce her presence.
He came to the psychiatrist—strictly speaking, in front of a large group of Heidis—and first checked the other person's status.
There were about seven or eight Heidis with large and small injuries on their bodies. Three of them were extremely seriously injured and were falling to the ground and flopping like dying fish. The personality part of their bodies had obviously been evacuated, leaving only some parts based on conditioned reflexes.
convulsing with death, and the two Heidis seemed to be in good condition. One of them stood there with a dull expression, while the other nervously avoided Duncan's eyes.
Duncan glanced at the "large group of Heidis" in front of him expressionlessly, sighing in his heart that the psychiatrists in this world are really wild, and their schizophrenia is actually more schizophrenic than schizophrenia, and then he went straight past the full-fledged psychiatrist.
With a nervous face and evasive eyes, "Heidi" came to the psychiatrist with a dull expression.
"Are you okay?"
The dull-looking "personality" was suddenly startled, and a vivid expression suddenly appeared on his face: "How do you know..."
Of course, she had already guessed who the tall and majestic person in front of her, who brought endless pressure to people, was already extremely nervous. She originally thought of using her personal avatar to cover it up to avoid facing this terrifying "subspace shadow".
communication, but I didn’t expect that I didn’t hide it even for a second.
"You will use your personality clone to protect yourself when you are nervous," Duncan said with a smile and a friendly attitude, "Of course, I didn't expect your 'personality clone' to be so...powerful before, but now I'm deeply impressed.
.”
"Sometimes... schizophrenic patients are more difficult to deal with. They can't beat them if they have too few points..." Heidi explained subconsciously, but then she reacted, "Wait, how did you know..."
Duncan smiled and raised his hand to point to the amethyst pendant on Heidi's chest.
"Strictly speaking, this pendant is given to you by me."
