Chapter 2952 The morning that never returns (twenty-seven)
It was about two hours ago, at midnight.
"Hmm, meow--" Hal was lying on the bed, soundly asleep.
But in his dream, a strange white object was approaching, and ordinary dreams began to turn into a black atmosphere, and he fell into a nightmare.
Another boy with animal ears and a human face appeared in front of the Leopard Man boy riding an evil-looking cone snake.
"Is it the new host of [The Seat of Gluttony]?" The beast-eared boy said: "You haven't been eaten away by [Despair] at this time, either because your heart is strong enough, or... you are so powerful.
Is the thing protecting you?"
"You...what are you talking about?" Hal asked in a daze: "Where is this place?"
"It's just a dream." The other party replied.
"That's right, meow." Hal blinked, and suddenly remembered who the other party was: "You are... Uduluq Lacrusu Salzachus meow."
"Your Creator." The other party snorted and said, "Thank you for remembering my name, kid. My name is originally too noble to be expressed with your voice. Even if you hear it once, you will never be able to use your mouth to express it.
It was accurately retold. But okay, you said it. As a race of law enforcers, you are still a little different from others. On this point alone, I express my basic respect to you."
Hal, the leopard man boy, was stunned for a while, then turned around and looked around. The surrounding scenery was a dark void, and he could personally feel that this was the place where Udluk had been staying for a long time.
This is not so much Hal's dream as [reality].
While he was dreaming, his consciousness was pulled to the place where Uduk Lacrusu Salsaces was, that is, in this dark abyss. Because of the influence of the Holy Grail fragments, their subconscious
Connected in some way.
"You...have been staying in a place like this, meow?" Hal asked in a low voice, "In this...nothing, dark world, meow?"
"Ah, it has been since a long time ago." The other party replied: "I am the last batch of Namulus people to be created. Not long after I was born, [Degeneration of Souls] attacked the Star Ark. My people want to
Protect me from the pollution of [soul decay]. So they put me into the stasis dormancy chamber and sent me into the abyss. There is some kind of deal with the people of Namulus in a certain realm of the abyss, and there is a place where everything is still.
Space. My people and I have been sleeping in it until the right time comes, before we can return to the world."
"But we've met Meow before."
"In the abyss, yes." Udluk replied: "I have been given a task and cannot sleep forever. I met you when I woke up. But not long after, I still have to sleep again.
.Just being awake is a kind of poison to me. It will gradually take away my life and let me eventually enter [the decline of my soul]."
What he said was true. Hal could definitely feel that the other party had no reason to lie, and in this dream, he and Udluk seemed to have the same mind. He had a rough idea of what the other party was thinking.
, so he knew that the other party was not lying.
The other party probably knew what Hal was thinking, so he told everything, because he had no need to hide it.
"It's so... pitiful," Hal said.
"Pity?" The other party seemed to be offended, and suddenly said angrily: "What? Why? You are just a child of the law enforcement race, how dare you pity me as the creator?! Who do you think you are!"
"But you've never seen the real world, haven't you, meow?" the leopard boy asked in a low voice: "I just keep sleeping in order to survive, in this... dark world with nothing, meow. This can be considered a real life, meow."
?"
The other party was silent.
"Um...Udluk, can we be friends, meow?" the leopard boy asked again.
"What did you say?!"
"In such a dark place, sleeping alone..." Hal whispered: "If it were Hal, he would definitely not be able to bear it. Meow."
"……so what?"
"So... that..." Hal thought for a long time before he thought of what to say: "Hal was wondering if you would like a friend... to play cat with you?"
The other party was silent for a long time.
"You want to say that I, the noble creator, need a friend like you to relieve my loneliness?" The other party still felt offended: "You are impatient with life, aren't you?"
Ugly, nightmare-like bone cone snakes came from all directions, sticking out their tongues at the little leopard boy. Each monster looked very vicious and cruel.
Hal took half a step back. Then his back hit something.
Behind him, there was a huge human-like white spirit body, supporting him like a mountain. The spirit body exuded a warm and soft light. The spirit body stood like that, as if telling Hal that all this would not happen.
There is a problem. It also seems to be on the high-speed Uduluq. Don't play Hal's idea, otherwise it will be a fierce battle.
"Yes. There is a powerful guardian behind you." Udluk snorted, "No wonder you are so arrogant."
"I'm not arrogant, meow..." Hal frowned and said, "Hal really wants to be friends with you——"
"Get out!" Before Hal could finish speaking, the other party roared angrily.
A powerful repulsive force pushed Hal away from the abyss and drove him away quickly.
"Hmm...!" The Leopard Man boy got up from the bed and realized that everything just happened was just a dream.
Or maybe, that is also a real, real dream.
"Chirp?" As if he wanted to comfort Hal, the little white carp he raised swam out from the special subspace pocket and came up to the leopard boy's cheek and rubbed it a few times.
"Hehehehe... don't be like this, Pochi, it's so ticklish." Hal chuckled, amused by the balloon fish.
Then he shuddered again and said, "Pee..."
He looked at the clock beside him. It was now 0:30 in the morning. It was already late at night.
"I, let's go, meow." Hal was still a little afraid of the dark, but with his pet little carp accompanying him, he, a little leopard, dared to go to the bathroom at night.
So he climbed out of bed, put on the holographic projection bracelet, and turned on the holographic projection device. The device disguised him as a small golem, perfectly concealing his true appearance as a leopard boy. His parents told him to do this
It was necessary because a bad guy wanted to sneak onto the ship and kidnap him. He disguised himself as a golem, and another child on the boat who was originally a golem disguised himself as him in order to confuse the bad guy who wanted to kidnap him.
Late at night, the corridors of the Dawn were quiet. No one was around, and everyone had gone to sleep.
The Leopard Man boy tiptoed to the bathroom, wanting to finish his work quickly and then go back to sleep. But when he finished his toilet and went to the sink to wash his hands, he inadvertently glanced at the mirror in front of the sink.
"Huh?"
This casual glance startled him. Because what he saw in the mirror was not the appearance of the golem reflected in the holographic image, nor his true appearance as a leopard boy, but...
——Muppets?!
I don’t know when, he was wearing a gray and black puppet suit. The puppet suit still looked like a puppy. The funny big hood, ears perked up energetically, grinning, looking funny and cute.
.The layer of leather on his body is soft, fluffy, and looks like artificial fluff. He is also wearing blue suspender shorts and a white shirt in the style of a teenager.
This appearance is no different from those mascot-like puppets in amusement parks that entertain children with balloons.
Hal has of course been to an amusement park, and he is no longer a child. He knows that those mascots are actually staff dressed in puppet costumes. He also knows that he is wearing the same puppet costume now, and
It seems to be specially customized according to his figure.
Is this some kind of joke? When he went to the toilet just now, he was still normal and didn't feel anything abnormal. Why did he look like this when he washed his hands and looked in the mirror after urinating?
He tried to take off the puppy hood of the puppet costume. But it was very tight and seemed to be integrated with the entire puppet costume, making it impossible to take it off. He also found that he was clearly wearing this kind of puppet.
Although he was wearing clothes, there was no feeling of stuffiness. The thing seemed to be integrated with him. He couldn't feel its existence at all, and he couldn't feel that he was wearing such heavy "clothing".
Is this a holographic image? Could it be that the holographic system is broken and instead of projecting the appearance of the golem on him, this strange puppet costume is projected?
But he knocked on the hood and found that it was real. The hood was as hard as a helmet. Under the soft fluff, it was as hard as steel and could not be dented at will.
This is not a holographic image. This puppet suit is real, and I don’t know when, maybe when he was sleeping, someone stuffed him into this puppet suit.
"This is not funny at all, meow." Hal said angrily, "Who's kidding me, meow?"
Of course, no one would answer him.
He tried to take off the doll suit, but it didn't help. There were no zippers or buttons. The doll suit was not divided into top and bottom. It was all one piece (including the ridiculously big hood).
!).
"Oh my god, meow--" The Leopard Man boy couldn't take off his doll costume after trying for a long time. He started to get a little anxious: "Brother! Dad! Help me, meow!!"
He shouted while running outside. However, he couldn't shout very loudly in the doll costume. Most of the shouts echoed in the ridiculously big puppy headband instead of being spread far away.
Boom! He fell onto his back after running a few steps. Wearing a clumsy puppy puppet suit, it was very difficult to move. However, he did not feel any pain when he fell. The thick fur outer layer of the puppet suit, and the
The unreasonably hard puppy headgear provides sufficient protection for the leopard boy in the puppet suit.
He wanted to run to his room to find his father, or to go to the green garden and teleport room to find his brother, but the journey was a bit far, and he doubted how far this clumsy self could run without getting exhausted. But the common room was right there.
Next to him, there were always people on the Dawn who stayed up late or even stayed awake (such as the weird uncle with a metal frame). It was obviously a more reasonable choice to seek help there. So Hal ran to the lounge, falling two or three times along the way.
.
In the lounge, Sefer and Seglade, who just couldn't sleep, gathered together and drank in front of the bar. The man in charge of bartending was Gladiator Bereld, and the big man seemed to be very good at making cocktails.
I have an idea, I am using a cocktail shaker to shake the juice and wine.
"Don't you have a game tomorrow? You're up so late and still drinking. Is there really no problem?" Bediwell complained at the side.
"Mr. Bedivere will have a game tomorrow." Saifei also complained: "You are up so late and still playing games. Is there really no problem?"
"I'm going to sleep right away, waiting for me to find the next save point." Bediwell said: "Why are there so few save points in this crappy game."
"No, it's an instant save. The so-called save point you're looking for is actually the restart point, which is the campfire where Meow is reborn." Seglade replied, "If you're killed by a monster, you'll be reborn from that campfire Meow."
"So isn't this the save point..."
"So, the game is archived in real time. If you exit the game now and go to the startup interface, it will save the last position of the character..." Saifei tried to explain.
"So, even if you save the location, it's useless. If you load the file and go back and get killed by a monster on the road, won't you have to be teleported back to the previous campfire?" But obviously, for someone like Bediwell, it's useless.
For a novice player who has only played the game for an hour or two, the explanation is meaningless. He still stubbornly believes that he must find the next "save point" before he can quit the game with confidence.
"Eh... if you like it, that's fine." Saifer covered his head and didn't want to say anything more.
At this moment, a weird guy in a puppet suit ran in from outside.
"Pigeon! Meowth!" The guy's words were very vague (after all, he was wearing a heavy hood). He was dancing around in a hurry to express something, but no one could understand what was going on.
"Who is this...Hal meow??" Although he couldn't understand what the other party was saying, Seifer vaguely recognized his brother's voice: "Hal? What do you want to do in this puppet costume, meow?"
?"
"Help me! Help me! Meow!" Little Hal in a puppet costume was still dancing there, looking very anxious. The little carps around him were also jumping up and down anxiously, surrounding him.
Hal spun around.
"What's going on?" Bediwell also came over to see what was going on: "Where did you get the puppet costume?"
"Fangwo bastard (let me out), meow!" said the Leopard Man boy: "Don't beat (the puppet) to pretend, drag (take it off), don't catch (drop it), meow!"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, relax, let's talk about what's going on first, meow." Seglade asked: "How on earth did you get in, meow?"
"It's a cloth knife (I don't know), meow! The actor Shang Xing Laiqu ironed the thin tip (I woke up at night and went to the bathroom), and I used to call it Jiang Zi (that's what it looks like) meow!"
Bedivere covered his mouth and snickered on the side, and was glared at by Saifer and Seglade.
"Sorry, sorry. But it's so cute." Bedivere rubbed the puppet's puppy ears. Those parts were soft, elastic, and felt good.
"Stop playing with me! Dimple (save me), meow!" Hal protested angrily.
"I would like to know how you went to the bathroom while wearing this puppet costume." Berelard on the side also stopped mixing cocktails and came over to take a look: "Could it be that... you peed in it?"
"There's no such thing as kerosene, meow!"
"So you became like this after going to the bathroom?" Saifer asked again, looking back and forth at the puppet costume on Hal. At this time, he walked behind his brother and found that behind the puppet costume
A vaguely shining thing: "Ah, I found the zipper."
"Najiu Wa Keta (then pull it open), Fangwo Rogue (let me out) Meow!" Hal said anxiously.
"Yes, yes, don't worry, meow." Saifer and everyone else winked at each other and started to pull the small zipper.
Snap——
The zipper was opened, and then, the inside of the puppet suit appeared in front of Saifei and everyone.
"Hey, this is...?!" I thought it was Hal who was trapped in the puppet suit. He could easily rescue the Leopard Man boy by finding the zipper, but the scene inside the puppet suit was frightening.
Everyone jumped.
That's no ordinary puppet costume.
After the zipper was opened, a piece of bottomless darkness was revealed. In the darkness, there was a translucent spirit body that looked like a boy and emitted gray-white light, "wearing" this puppet costume.
"Hal, you..." Saifer tried to reach out and touch the translucent spirit body, but it was like touching the air, and his hand went directly through it.
