Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, William, who was stubbornly confronting the Thief of Dreams, suddenly relaxed his tense nerves, and the consciousness imprisoned in the dream found that the shackles that bound it had become weak. As a result, William turned from dream to reality in an instant...

In what seemed to be an office, William raised his head from the computer desk, put his hands on his beating heart, and finally took advantage of the sudden intermission to breathe a sigh of relief.

In the eyes of the King of Pirates of Dreams, William, who stubbornly held back the severe pain in the last second, has lost much of the reluctance in his eyes in the next second. Not only that, his entire mental state has changed... The difference caused by the time difference The violation made Pirates of Dreams keenly realize that William midfielder woke up once in reality. And it is different from Sato Kazuhiko who forcibly stripped both subconscious and conscious.

Ren Shengcai, who possesses the dominance ability of "Prison Arena", can also prevent the surrounding dominators from waking up. This ability was born from this strange place in the cracks of the dream. "Unable to wake up" is just like life, death, dream, and waking, they are all a state. The superimposition of the same state will inevitably lead to mutual antagonism, which will instead lead to the collapse of this abnormal state itself.

"I didn't ask you to bring so many people, I just asked you to bring the ruler who has the ability of "Athletic Colosseum" on the number eight clock~"

"The name is also wrong, Xia Yinci, you are not qualified to speak of others... you have already said it's 'Prisoner's Arena'!"

"Speaking of...how about Xiao Lulu and Xiao Luoluo? Didn't they come?"

"Lulu's dominance ability has been used a little too much, so the black cat and her stayed at the ruler clock. After all, the ruler clock can't be left unattended, so I just leave this task to them."

While speaking, a girl who lowered her peaked cap lightly landed on the ground, and let down Xue Xueer who was holding her across her arms. Immediately following him was a young man with a cut head and only a punk-style shirt. His protruding chest muscles can be said to be slightly larger than Su Eirin, who should have an advantage in gender... He seems to have noticed Su Eilin's keenness Looking at me, I quickly withdrew my gaze, and landed on the well-mannered young man who was in sharp contrast with the cropped man next to him. He probably also noticed my curious gaze, and he bowed politely to us.

"It's the first time we meet. Next up is Jiang Cheng, the ruler of clock No. 8. These two are Ren Shengcai and Tong Xiyu..."

"Now is not the time to introduce yourself~" Xia Yinci interrupted the young man who claimed to be Jiangcheng, and turned slightly sideways to the lakeside, "Do you know what the goal is this time?"

"So far, I only know that I need to go to the stronghold of the Dream Thief, and this time I am not here to eradicate the Dream Thief, but to rescue the two rulers."

I was stunned for a few seconds when I heard the word "two". That's right, Lin Yu didn't know that Kazuhiko Sato had left.

"Well...that's true. However, there is one more thing to pay attention to." Xia Yinci smiled mysteriously, raised her fingers and moved them to her mouth, and blinked, "Try not to attract the attention of dream stealers."

"There's no need to do this anymore!? Leaving aside the fact that we escaped all the way just now, the movement of these No. 8 clock rulers is enough to attract their attention."

Although Chalt's tone is still aggressive, his words are indeed true. But Xia Yinci didn't think so. She loosened the fingers that formed the ten fingers, thus overlapping her arms to form a larger cross shape.

"So far, we probably haven't caught their attention."

Chart raised his right eyebrow in disbelief. Xia Yinci turned to him with a little arrogance before he could refute.

"If the King of Dream Thieves found us through absolute observation, he should have sent out Dream Thief to kill us while the evil spirits were chasing us. But he hasn't appeared for a long time, and the same is true for other Dream Thief. I think this must have something to do with the fact that once we step into a certain range, the evil spirits can't detect our existence."

She pointed to the evil spirits gathered at the gap in the barrier above, and saw that their eyes became more and more empty, and finally turned around and drifted in the direction of other rulers.

"Assuming that in order to maintain this kind of defense against evil spirits, the King of Pirates of Dreams gave up using absolute observation and could not detect our existence. I think it can explain the current situation."

"Because this kind of assumption is not necessarily correct, do I have to listen to your arrangement?"

"Don't blame me to expose you~Charter, you must be thinking about attacking the dream thief. Now that there is such a big commotion, you can ignore the question raised by Su Ruoyang just now, and there are reinforcements again, Just take the opportunity to do something wrong... am I right?"

Chalt stared blankly for a while, then let out an irritable "tss", and simply turned his back to us.

"The purpose this time is to rescue William, and the focus is also on the point of "relative secrecy"~ To put it bluntly, it is best not to attract their attention and cause unnecessary trouble. I know that some people think about revenge and other things , but now is not the best time. There will definitely be great opportunities in the future when you regain your strength, it depends on whether you are willing to rescue your companions who are still alive~"

Noticing that Ren Shengcai's folded hands trembled, Tong Xiyu also bit her lower lip lightly, rubbing the front end of her peaked cap with her fingers.

"Besides, since it is a relatively secretive operation, it needs some unnoticed abilities~" Xia Yinci gave me a subtle sideways glance at this point, "like Elus, the released Magic is a relatively conspicuous type, so it is suitable as a character who appears in the situation of "discovered"... In short, it is a "candidate"~"

"Well... according to this selection method," Lin Yu looked around at everyone, and said slowly, "I, Su Ruoyang, Chart, Su Huilin, and Tong... Tong Xiyu are suitable for this operation .”

"Wait a minute, Su Erin's leg is injured now, I think she should stay too."

As soon as I raised my hand to express my disapproval, Tong Xiyu walked up to Su Huilin's side. While brushing her sideburns to the back of her ears, she bent down to check Su Huilin's right leg, and then said nothing. He stretched out his palm and gently pressed it to the injured area. After a flash of light green light, her hand slowly left the wound, and Su Huilin also frowned in a daze, and jumped off the black knight's arms.

"Thank you...Tong...Tong Xiyu?"

Tong Xiyu didn't complain about the fact that she called her name in a questioning tone, but shook her head indifferently, still unwilling to say a word. Or did she feel that there was no need to speak?

"In this way, Su Erin will have no problem~"

Hearing what Xia Yinci said, I couldn't help turning my eyes to look at her. I remember that Xia Yinci has two control abilities. As long as gravity is not manipulated, the other "invalidation of the control ability used by oneself" actually meets the requirements of secret operations. But Xia Yinci's gaze suddenly met mine, and I quickly avoided her gaze. Forget it..she should have her own considerations.

"Then...then what are we people who stay here going to do?"

Jiang Cheng stopped Lin Yu who was walking to the lake with some concern. He chose Lin Yu without asking Xia Yinci, presumably something happened between him and Lin Yu that made him trust Lin Yuyou.

"Just like what Xia Yinci said, if we happen to be discovered, it will be your turn to help."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu stepped into the lakeside. Only then did I realize that the depth of the lake was just submerged to the position of his knees. After confirming this, I followed Chart, the last one in the team, and jumped down. The bright red lakeside is icy cold, and the feet in the water are a bit too heavy. It seems that the distance is extremely long, but we only took a few steps, and the tavern is close at hand.

"I see... half-truth, half-false? Playing illusions in the dream world, 'false on top of false', is really something that can only be created by a hypocrite..."

Lin Yu's words as if he was talking to himself made me stunned. I originally wanted to walk side by side with him, but I really couldn't walk freely in this water, so I had to ask him through two or three people:

"So have you been here?"

"No...just now when we came here at full speed, this area was full of forests, and we couldn't see the lakeside at all. We ventured down to a position where we would be overtaken by evil spirits, and finally saw you..."

Speaking of which, he seemed to recall unpleasant and embarrassing memories again, and curled up the corners of his mouth in displeasure, "In the end, I ran into that hateful barrier! What is the origin of that dark guy?!"

"Well..." Seeing that Lin Yu was asking himself this question, Su Huilin stepped on the dividing line between the ground and the lakeside, while smiling sideways at me, and pretending to be mysterious, she said, "Say, it's a long story Oh..」

Hey, why even Su Erin started to use this Xia Yinci style of fooling? The way she looked at me just now was so "bad"... It is absolutely illegal to seduce my brother!

"Su Ruoyang, I didn't expect that, you are really hugging from left to right, the old lover is on the other side of the lake, and the new love is on the other side of the lake..."

"This is my sister! My sister!" I defended every word, and glanced at him angrily, "And that's not my old lover, do you understand my childhood sweetheart? My childhood sweetheart!"

Lin Yu glanced at me with a smirk suspiciously, then cautiously approached the tavern. What do you mean this guy...

"Although I sneaked in quietly and rescued William..." Lin Yu glanced through the window, then turned to look at Su Huilin beside me, "Can you let that dark guy come out again?"

Su Huilin raised her head, and a dark and strong figure changed from a phantom to a real one. Lin Yu took two steps closer to him and put his palm on his chest.

"excuse me……"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yu's eyes reflected the ancient clock shining with golden light. He closed his eyes gently, and the eyelids fluttering from time to time seemed to prove that he was exploring something. However, when he opened his eyes again, Lin Yu had completely disappeared from here, only two identical black knights stood facing each other like two ends of a mirror.

Su Huilin watched them curiously, then nodded with satisfaction. She quickly signaled the real black knight to leave, so only Lin Yu's fake black knight remained in place. For some reason, his expression was extraordinarily serious, as if he had detected something cruel.

"No wonder... no wonder you only mentioned the matter of saving William, but didn't mention a word to Sato Kazuhiko... So he's gone, right?"

My heart convulsed at his sudden mention of it. Looking at Lin Yu's suddenly enlightened eyes, I grabbed the clothes on my chest in some pain. He shook his head quickly and forced a wry smile.

"Sorry...now is not the time to mention such things. Saving William is the most important thing."

"Yeah. That.. Speaking of which.. Saying things like this may be able to achieve the thing of 'being quiet'..." I thought about scratching the hair on my forehead, and suddenly remembered something, and raised my eyes thoroughly, " Lin Yu...um...I'm still a little unaccustomed to you becoming like this...Anyway, you brought me and Su Huilin in together."

"Uh... can you tell me why?"

Before Su Huilin used the devil command on the black knight, he seemed to be responsible for a mission related to Elus, but came to Su Huilin's dream world by accident, and a series of things happened after that.

"We met the black knight in Su Huilin's world. Besides Watanabe Feng and him, there is another dream thief. After the dream thief who didn't know that the black knight turned to our side went back, he must He will tell the Thief of Dreams what he knows. From this, the Thief of Dreams probably knows that the black knight strayed into Su Huilin's dream world. According to his temper, even if the original purpose of the black knight is not Su Huilin and For me, when the black knight returns, we should also dedicate us who met on a narrow road for him.”

"That's right..Okay..Then please stay here with Chart and Yuyu. If we don't come out within five minutes, then please use your dominance, Chart, okay?"

"Oh, I'm afraid you won't be able to figure it out in five minutes."

Chatter's answer is always easy to extinguish the enthusiasm that has been gathered after hard work. Seeing Lin Yu's surprised and sullen embarrassing smile, Su Huilin and I couldn't help but smile at each other.

Just like that, the counterfeit "Black Knight" clamped Su Huilin and me with two hands, kicked open the wooden door with his feet, and his burly figure just squeezed through the door. The smell of meat and the intoxicating atmosphere of the wine poured into the nasal cavity together, making me almost choke and cough.

"It's really a place where students shouldn't be brought in..." I vaguely heard Lin Yu say this in a low voice, just as I wanted to complain about him in my heart, my head hit the corner of the dining table, and my brain I was dizzy. Probably noticing that I groaned in pain, Lin Yu hurriedly lifted me and Su Huilin up a little, until we reached a height a little distance from the table.

Hmm...Hopefully this nausea in my stomach is caused by the dizziness from the impact I just had, and not my fear of heights.

"Yo, you're finally willing to come back."

Someone in front tapped the black knight on the shoulder. I squinted my eyes slightly to look at that person, and remembered that he was the star of the speed of light I had seen at the entrance of Xinghai Tavern.

"But it's a pity that you came back at the wrong time. The carnival time of torture is over."

Following the direction where Light Speed ​​Star's hand casually pointed, William, who was tightly bound, lost consciousness and fell to the side of the counter, with an iron rod as long as half his body stuck in his bloody abdomen. This made William curl up on his side on the ground.

"Why isn't my beloved king here? Tell me where is he now?"

After finishing speaking, he noticed that the corner of Lin Yu's mouth twitched in disgust. Presumably he couldn't bear the humble and awkward way of speaking of the Black Knight, right?

"You don't know, the effect of "Prisoning the Arena" just now disappeared suddenly, and the old fox on the second clock can wake up now... In this case, no matter how much the king and we torture him, as long as he hides in reality to recuperate If you come back with a good attitude, no matter how cruel the torture is, you won’t be able to kill him for a while. So the king is staying in the house and losing his temper now!"

"I see.."

Thinking about it carefully, it might be that the ruler with the same name ability brought by Lin Yu played a role. Just as he was thinking about it, another figure suddenly approached him. The man stared at Su Huilin who was next to him mischievously, and walked two steps closer with eagerness to fight, his treacherous expression was extremely annoying.

"Don't talk about this, the girl you brought back is really pretty... How about you lend her to my brother to play for an hour before you bring her over to the king, isn't that okay?"

I almost jumped up and slapped him hard, but Lin Yu's arm was tied tightly to me, and at the same time he said to him without changing his face, "I don't have time to do this kind of meaningless flattery to you. Get away wherever you go."

"Hey, don't put on that old look of looking down on people. You just treat that streaking boy and Little Spark as your brothers. I don't think you care about the others."

It sounded like a messed up name at first... After thinking about it for a while, I realized that he was referring to Lightspeed Star, and the dream stealer who was playing with fire next to them. It seems that the relationship between the Dream Stealers is not as harmonious as I imagined, it is better to say that they exclude each other, right? Maybe I can use this to do something in the future.

"The Dream Stealers I identify are only a few people plus the king!"

The "Black Knight" glared at him fiercely, and shouted passionately. This momentum really shocked the man. In fact, Lin Yu swallowed hurriedly while turning his eyes away and snorting coldly.

"Tch.. Inflated guy.."

Lin Yu hugged me and Su Huilin approached William on the ground step by step—because I speculated that the time I could stand still this time would not exceed 10 seconds, so I could only stop time at the position closest to William, and put Su Huilin on the ground as soon as possible. Rin and William were led out of the tavern. Lin Yuwo was unable to take care of it, and he had to rely on his own disguise to find a way to escape. In a nutshell this is our plan.

And just when I pinpointed the right moment to hint to Lin Yu to put me down, a cold voice without ups and downs interrupted our action.

"I'm really surprised, isn't this the Dark Knight?"

The deadly sense of oppression made me take a cautious glance at the person who came, only to find that what was coming was a figure who was far smaller than other dream stealers, but exuded an inexplicably depressed aura. His gaze flicked over the three of us one by one vigilantly, and finally landed on the "Dark Knight" in the middle. And Lin Yuxiang, who played it, knelt down on one knee in a hurry, bowing his head to show his respect.

"My respected king, I'm back—these are the other two masters of clock No. 2 that I dedicated to you!"

Unexpectedly, this unusually thin guy turned out to be the King of Pirates of Dreams, and there was no time to praise Lin Yu's adaptability, so Lin Yu let go of me and Su Huilin, so we fell on William's bed with a muffled grunt. both sides. The iron rod stabbed in William's abdomen touched the palm of my hand, and I felt a severe burning sensation for a while, and I felt itchy, and the upper and lower rows of teeth rubbed against each other and fought.

At the same time, I could feel the anxious gaze of the King of Pirates of Dreams, and I couldn't make any movements that aroused his suspicion. I had to pretend to fall to one side under the weight of my body, and then I was separated from the abnormally icy iron rod. open.

"Very good...you made me feel better. Everyone who traveled with you is back, but I haven't seen you... I almost had some bad misunderstandings about you."

While speaking, the King of Pirates Dream casually waved his hand to signal the black knight not to be too polite. The fake knight finally straightened up humbly, but his nerves were still tense, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

It is said that Pirates of Dreams has the same "absolute observation" as William. If Xia Yinci's assumption just now is correct, then he must be in a state where he cannot use it now. And based on the fact that we have no intention of making so many suspicious actions, the King of Pirates of Dreams did not pay more attention, presumably her guess is correct. I think Lin Yu should have already figured out how to take advantage of this.

"There are still some things I haven't figured out. Regarding you, the reward of the Dark Knight, I will definitely give you the reward in the future. These two rulers, you leave it to the "Punisher" to deal with."

It is reasonable to say that the tone of this sentence should fluctuate a little, but he seemed to spit out something that had nothing to do with him without emotion. And the man called "Punisher" also stood up and walked towards us with heavy steps. Compared with the King of Pirates of Dreams, the torturer's figure is simply different, and he is a little too strong.

However, seeing the figure of the Thief of Dreams gradually disappearing, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief—what we are most worried about now is actually angering the King of Thieves and forcing him to ignore "something that we hypothesized to limit his ability to use." "things" burst into absolute observation. Once this happens, we will be in a very dangerous situation if we are chased by another absolute observer in an environment full of evil spirits.

"Oh, that's right..." Nerves suddenly tightened, and my whole body seemed to be frozen. I clearly felt that oppressive sight sweeping over the back of my head. "William I put here, you can use it as you like... This is an extra reward I gave you. However, you should also pay attention to whether Tito can bear it."

Apparently, Lin Yu almost thought that he had been exposed just now, and he was stunned for a second before bowing humbly in response to the "big reward" from King Thief of Dreams. Thief Dream King also turned around again in satisfaction. The moment I watched his thin figure disappear, I lightly elbowed Lin Yu's waist, and he instinctively shrank to the side and let go. Me and Su Erin, at this time I released the shackles that held back the passing time.

Su Huilin stood still in the air steadily, but I ignored the pause time and fell heavily to the ground. I had no time to care about the pain of my chin hitting the hard floor, and the time I could be still was really limited. Without hesitation, I quickly grabbed the hands of William and Su Erin, and dragged them towards the door of the tavern.

However, it was still too reluctant, and time suddenly flowed slowly. At this moment, a cold touch flicked away my arm, and I let go of the hand holding William along with this strange force. Looking back, I saw Qianyan's iconic pair of cold eyes. She held her head up and gave me a sideways glance in a condescending manner. Then she picked up William and put it on her slender shoulders, and walked out without saying a word. tavern.

Although I was surprised by her sudden appearance to help, I didn't hesitate, and quickly backed away from the tavern with Su Erin in my arms. As soon as he exited the tavern, he hit something strange on his back. I hurriedly came back to my senses, and found that Qianyan's right eyebrow was twitching slightly, as if secretly complaining about me hitting her face with my back just now.

"Yeah. Sorry!"

I clapped my palms vigorously, and looked behind my hands to the ground.

"Huh? So all you have to do is apologize."

Unknowingly, the time seems to have exceeded ten seconds. Although I didn't raise my head, I felt that Qianyan's eyes were on me, and the cold temperature rose to the point where my heart warmed up. I felt a slight tickle in my throat, as if a feather was gently picking at my throat... Perhaps it is more accurate to describe it as "the muzzle of the gun is inserted into the mouth, but the gunman teased himself jokingly and refused to shoot". As appropriate.

"Also...thank you, thank you, Qianyan..."

"Barely pass. Next time when you say thank you, please at least look into the other person's eyes."

Clarifying the beautiful voice, I finally couldn't help but look up, but Qianyan didn't leave me a chance to catch the answer to the question "What is the exciting look on her face when she speaks with a smile?" She disappeared before my eyes one step earlier, and the negative film, which had barely kept time still, fell apart in an instant because of her disappearance.

I suddenly became curious, this cold guy is always uncertain, what is her nature like? In other words, which side is her real appearance?

— Now is not the time to think about such things. The Dream Thief will definitely catch up, and it will be a matter of time before the Dream Thief finds out about this matter... and no matter what, the injured William must be brought back first!

"Charter, please stay behind, please control the timing to invalidate your dominance! Su Huilin, you take William to the other side of the lake, and Tong Xiyu is in charge of treating William. Are you okay?"

I hastily instructed them, and Charte seemed to be used to being bullied over and over again. Even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, he just frowned slightly with disdain, and nodded his head perfunctorily. Su Huilin also stretched out his hand to signal, and the phantom formed by the dust on the ground showed the appearance of a dark knight. He hugged William horizontally, and hurried to the opposite side with Su Huilin.

There was an incessant uproar in the tavern, and I patted Chart on the shoulder as a gesture, and quickly jumped down to the lake. Not far away, Lin Yu's fake dark knight came out of the tavern, pretending to be chasing me and standing in the front, followed by the Dream Stealer, who was even more heinous than an evil spirit , and the dark knight on the other side was hastily called back by Su Huilin.

"Damn it... has this kid already planned it?" Lightspeed star shouted angrily, and then teleported behind the fake black knight, "I'll chase them, at my speed they can't escape with the wounded of."

"No! That kid has the ability to stop time," Lin Yu shook his head pretending to be serious, and said every word, "It just happens to be more than enough to deal with you!"

"I have no choice but to inform the Thief of Dreams?! As long as there is absolute observation from the king...these people will absolutely—"

"Are you an idiot? If you tell Thief of Dreams about this, he will definitely be angry because so many people can't look down on a brat... At that time, all of us present will be implicated and punished!"

Lin Yu didn't seem to expect that this tricky problem would be refuted by their own companions. He quickly seized the opportunity and said with high spirits, "Then we can only catch them back with our own hands? So many people It shouldn’t be impossible to do this, right?” Facts have proved that the passionate atmosphere is always easy to make people lose their minds, and the dream robbers responded to Lin Yu’s call in unison.

Suddenly someone grabbed my collar from behind, and it was Charte who carried me to the other side of the lake. Chart must always keep the shortest distance from Lin Yu in order to complete the task of breaking the back.

When we got to the lakeside, Chart dropped me violently. Fortunately, this time I quickly adjusted my legs and stood firm, otherwise this would probably be the fifth time I bumped into something today.
