Mutt slowly opened his eyes, feeling dazed and unable to concentrate on thinking.
This is similar to the feeling of a hangover. He had accidentally drank an alcoholic drink at the team's celebration banquet before and was immediately drunk. This was the feeling when he woke up the next day.
So where is this place? His vision is still blurry and he can't see clearly.
"Are you awake?" A voice sounded in his ear. Mutt looked around and saw the rat boy Mickey.
Wait. Why does Mitch appear in a place like this? Why is the surrounding scenery crystal? Although Mutt is still a little confused, he can still think logically. He remembers that he just fell asleep with a cold on the way to Lviv.
It's just that he was caught. He has never touched the crystal stabbing sword, nor has he cut his hand with the stabbing sword. How did he come to the abyss crystal world without ever using a stabbing sword?
"Mitch?" Mutt then stood up alertly: "Why am I here? You----"
He just wanted to reach out and touch the other person, but his hand passed directly through Mitch's arm as if through a phantom, unable to touch the other person at all!
"This is it!" Mutt, who was already panicked, felt cold again.
"Calm down." The rat boy said, "You can't touch me, probably because only part of your consciousness has entered the crystal world, but your body is still in the real world."
"Part of my consciousness?"
"Well. The abyss is structured like this. Even if you only have consciousness, you can still come in." Mitch shrugged, "From the first time you used that crystal stabbing sword, a part of you has stayed in the abyss crystal boundary forever.
Every time you think of a way to go back to the real world, you don’t actually go back completely, a part of you still stays here.”
Mutt frowned.
"Are you abusing the power of the abyss crystal boundary again?" Mitch asked in a slightly reproachful tone: "It is because of the abuse that your mental fatigue reached a certain point and your body in the real world fell into a deep sleep.
.Because when you fall asleep in reality, most of your consciousness has transferred to the crystal boundary."
"How can this be like this!" the cat boy complained: "Does it mean that no matter what I do, I can't leave the crystal world? Even if I think I have escaped, once I fall into a deep sleep, it will haunt me like a nightmare."
"If you hadn't abused the power of the crystal world, this kind of thing would never have happened." Mitch said: "But don't worry, your consciousness will only stay here temporarily. Wait until your body in reality has had enough rest.
, after you wake up, you can probably go back."
"real?"
"Probably. Don't ask me." Mitch said, dumbfounded, "I've never gone back anyway. I'll stay here in the crystal world forever."
Mutt was a little depressed.
"Also, let me show you something." The rat boy stretched out his hand, slowly approached Mutt's face, and finally touched Mutt's cheek.
"Huh?! What are you doing!"
"What you have left here now is a pure spiritual body, so you can't touch me. But what I have left in the crystal world is a purer spiritual body than you. As long as I concentrate a little, I can touch it."
To you. This is the characteristic of the grain boundary." Mickey smiled and said: "Actually, I may not have touched you, I just tried to find a way to let you be touched by me."
"Hmm, I don't understand." Mutt got up from the ground and discovered that the cave he was in was Mitch's hiding place all along. Maybe Mitch brought him back. This hiding spot is located on the higher cliff side of the Crystal Boundary Canyon.
On the terrain, the monsters wandering around in the crystal world basically cannot get here.
"There's no point worrying now. Come on, I'll take you to see something interesting." Mickey walked out of the cave.
Mutt had nothing else to do, and he didn't want to leave Mitch too far, so he had to follow him. After leaving the cave, he discovered that there was a crystal bridge outside. It was the thing he made with the crystal stabbing sword last time.
The Crystal Bridge stretches from one side of the canyon cliff to the other side of the canyon, almost connecting both sides of the canyon into one.
"It's still there." Mutt couldn't help but be surprised: "Don't the abyss grain boundaries change often?"
"To be precise, the crystal boundary is constantly changing due to the thoughts of the owner of the crystal boundary. The owner of the crystal boundary is a moody and unpredictable guy, which ultimately manifests itself as the crystal boundary is constantly changing." Mickey replied:
"The crystal bridge you made last time is still there, just because the owner of the crystal world thought it was interesting and kept it. If one day he gets tired of this bridge, it will disappear immediately."
"Oh." Mutt snorted. Indeed, the Abyss Crystal Realm has its owner. The amethyst dragon that the catman boy saw last time is the absolute lord of the Abyss Crystal Realm. The entire Abyss Crystal Realm belongs to him.
All things and creations, he can turn this place upside down with just a finger. In a specific area of the abyss, what is preserved or destroyed depends entirely on the will of the Lord of the Abyss.
Mitch kept running along the crystal bridge, probably intending to run to the other side of the canyon. Mutt remembered that the crystal bridge was broken somewhere in the middle. It was broken during the last battle. Sure enough, when he reached about the middle
When they reached the position, they saw the broken part of the crystal bridge. However, the broken part was actually maintained by dozens of crystals. They floated strangely in mid-air, forming a small platform that could be stepped on. Therefore, even if Mitch's skills were not as good as
Mutt was so agile, he could still step on those small floating platforms and jump to the other side of the broken bridge.
"This is unscientific." Mutt couldn't help complaining as he stepped on the floating platform and jumped over. However, the abyss boundary is not the real world, but a high-dimensional hyperspace with dimensions much higher than reality. The laws in reality are not perfect.
Apply it to the abyss. Everything that appears in front of Mutt is just "simulating reality" at best. It does not need to be completely consistent with common sense. As long as the Lord of the Abyss has this intention, the crystal bridge can even become a pool floating in the air.
The liquid can even spill rainbows below.
With doubts, Mutt followed Mitch to the other side of the canyon. This was the platform where he fought the Thunder Giant last time. The traces of the last battle were even completely preserved and had not been changed by the Lord of the Abyss. Even that
The "exit" from the abyss crystal boundary has also been retained, but it has been closed. There are no enemies around the platform, so it seems to be safe for the time being.
"So you did try to use that exit to leave." Mutter said, "But the exit will no longer be opened, is that right?"
"Yeah. Almost." Mitch replied: "But I knew from the beginning that I couldn't leave. I didn't have much expectations."
"You really don't want to go back, Mitch?" Mutt asked: "You give up hope of escaping here so easily?"
"Didn't I tell you," the rat boy sighed: "Even if I can go back to the real world, I will still be the same person a long time ago. I am immortal in the crystal world, but that is not the case in the real world. Maybe I will be alive as soon as I set foot in the world.
The real world will turn into a mummy or turn into ashes, leaving nothing behind. Just thinking about this makes me very scared."
Mutt was silent for a while: "Forget it, I won't force you. But you should also understand that you can't stay here forever. If you stay in the abyss crystal boundary, your spirit will gradually be eroded and you will eventually go crazy.
------"
"Then it will become the same existence as those crystal monsters. Yes, I understand." Mitch replied: "But it has been a long time since I fell into the crystal world. I still maintain my appearance.
I'm not crazy about my appearance. This is probably the arrangement of the Lord of the Crystal Realm. He thought I was a fun toy, so he kept me like this and didn't turn me into one of those crystal monsters.
"
"But he's moody. What if he gets tired of you one day?"
"Then just take it one step at a time." Mickey smiled bitterly: "My destiny is completely controlled by the Lord of the Crystal Realm. What can I do?"
Mutt didn't answer. He looked the rat boy up and down. Usually, Mitch only wore a pair of shorts, fearing that the few remaining fabrics would be torn and damaged by the crystals in the crystal world. But today Mitch was wearing Mutt.
He brought him new clothes from the Abyss Crystal Realm and walked so far away from the cave where he was hiding. The child seemed very happy. Did something good happen?
"Here. Take a closer look." Mitch led Mutt to a huge crystal. The surface of the crystal was like a mirror, actually reflecting a certain kind of scenery.
"This is it!" The cat boy just took one look and was shocked.
Because he saw Albert's face through the crystal.
No. Not only that. Albert, reflected in the crystal, was holding a small thing and delivering that little thing into someone's hands. The scenery changed in an instant. What was reflected in the crystal was black.
The face of the bunny girl Nina. One side of the crystal reflected a white-gloved cat paw, soft, a real kitten's paw. The paw was curiously poking Nina's chest, as if
In "stepping on the breast".
"What's going on?" Mutt couldn't help but ask.
"This is the vision of a kitten." Mitch replied, "It's probably the vision of you when you become a kitten."
"What?"
"This mirror reflects your vision in reality. I have confirmed this before." Mitch said: "First of all, let me explain that I did not deliberately peek into your private life. I just accidentally discovered this and looked at it a few more times."
It’s just the eyes."
Mutt frowned. Although Mitch said he didn't peek deliberately, if this crystal could really reflect the scenery Mutt saw in the real world, wouldn't all of his private life be exposed?
"Now your consciousness fell into a deep sleep and ran to the crystal world. In reality, you turned into a cat, and your body was temporarily controlled by the animal's consciousness." The rat boy continued: "The girl is holding
You, I think you are a real cat. Well, you can only see the scenery from here, but you can't hear the sounds from the other side. So what happened over there?"
"Probably he was entrusted." Mutt looked at Albert's retreating figure through the crystal mirror and knew that they had arrived in Lviv. And Albert handed Mutt, who had turned into a kitten, to Ni.
He took it into Na's hands and left on his own.
The kitten stretched out its paws to keep Albert, but the tiger man walked away without looking back. He was either going to the refuge stone room to rest, or to participate in the battle. No matter which one, he would not know it for the time being.
Return to Mutt.
I really care about what will happen next. Mutt swallowed. Being in the crystal world, he could not interfere with himself in reality, so he could only watch through the mirror.
"It's just us next." Nina said to the kitten. Although Nina's voice couldn't be heard from here, Mutt had learned a little bit of lip reading and could guess who the black bunny girl was from her mouth shape.
Said something.
"Before we start, let's get along well." Nina held the kitten and walked to the side of the hall and sat down: "We have fresh trout caught from the river, do you want to eat it?"
