Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

The moment the command was issued, the color of the flame became more and more crimson, and it protruded out of Su Huilin's eye sockets with an indelible force, spreading dazzling wings of light around. All the evil spirits approaching in the distance stopped their original strong attack, and the black shadows receded to release the covered light, and the successive screams came to an end.

During the training of "Devil Command" with the black knight, Su Erin gradually mastered the knack of using this dominance ability. In short, it is best to specify the target object of the command, which will reduce the possibility of being backlashed by the command; the tone of the command should be both mandatory and friendly, such as adding an affix such as "I allow". There's a lot more to it than that.

"Tch... you're going to deal with us at the cost of your life, right? Those bastards at Clock Nine!"

Chalt didn't feel any sense of relief. Instead, he couldn't let go of the scene of the man falling into the shadow just now. The blood-red phantom covered his vision, and he felt discomfort in his abdomen.

"The other party doesn't necessarily belong to Clock Nine, right? We can only confirm that they are the remnants of the Dream Thief."

"Regardless of whether he is a member of Clock Number Nine or not, as long as he is confirmed to be a dream stealer, it would not be wrong to expel these lunatics as soon as possible. Otherwise, there may be a steady stream of people who will sacrifice their lives to ask for our lives in the future. .”

The black cat sighed softly after hearing what Chalt said. She raised her tired eyes and said calmly:

"In short, if you return to the stronghold in the future, try to send the black mist of Xiao Lulu as much as possible, and don't walk back by yourself."

"Huh?! What do you mean by sending me as much as possible! Miss, are you trying to trick me?"

Xiao Lulu stared at the black cat with wide-eyed eyes in disbelief. The slightly flushed forehead and tip of the nose made her frown look pitiful, and Xia Yinci, who was standing next to her, couldn't help stroking it playfully. Hit her head a few times.

"No... this is your mission~ isn't it? If you let them come back by themselves, there will definitely be a risk of being followed. Although Charte has absolute observation ability now, but today he was followed all the way by others. Unaware. Right?"

Even though Black Cat just used him as an example, Chalt couldn't hold back his strong self-esteem, and raised his voice to retort:

"I can't say that! That's because this person is out of my line of sight... Besides, there are too many evil spirits nearby, so I just didn't notice him. The most important thing is that he may have the ability to track other people's footprints. That’s why it became like this.”

"How can you guarantee that you won't have more troublesome control abilities in the future? Charte, I don't mean to blame you. It's just to explain the necessity of letting Lulu send you back. Lulu will reserve enough black mist. You don't have to worry about it."

As the black cat comforted Chalt, who was prone to frizz, he couldn't help noticing the word "worry". She felt that she had to worry about these immature "children", and always felt that something would happen if they were put out of stock.

"I... I know you're just using me as an example. So I'll just explain what happened today." Chilt whispered in a low voice.

"Speaking of which, Charte, you guys are going to...'expel' the Dream Thief of Clock No. 9, right?" Seeing that they stopped arguing about how to get back, Xia Yinci walked to Charte with bright eyes. In front of Te and Elus, he asked, "Can Su Erin and I come together? I met the master of clock No. 9 once before, and you were there at that time, right?"

Chalt followed her words and tried to recall, so he remembered that everyone had an experience of confronting the number nine clock before the start of the domination war. At that time, Charte got separated from everyone, and happened to meet Xia Yinci, and together they dealt with the opponent's ruler.

"Didn't you go with Su Luoyang?"

Elus took a step forward, and before Chatter said anything, she asked the question she cared about suspiciously.

"Huh? Of course he brought him to act with you." Xia Yinci showed a confused expression of "this kind of question still needs to be asked", and tilted her head. However, she thought in her heart that it would be fine if she couldn't act together with Su Huohuo, after all...

etc……! Su Huohuo? What about people?

Xia Yinci's eyebrows suddenly stretched out, as if she suddenly remembered a very important matter. She quickly turned to Xiao Lulu, puffed up her cheeks, pointed her index finger at her, and said with a strong tone of complaint:

"That's right! Speaking of Su Huohuo...! Xiao Lulu, when you pulled us over...you left him there alone!"

＊＊＊

Below the hole in the sky. The men led by Arquette were hunting down the almost endless stream of evil spirits. Lin Yu's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the strange situation on the other side of the stronghold.

Lin Yu, who was stunned in place, felt a chill behind him. He was stunned for half a second before he realized the abnormality and turned around in a daze. The evil spirit opened its mouth wide to reveal its sharp fangs, and was about to bite off Lin Yu's shoulder, but its movements became stiff before that.

The black shadow turned into flying crumbs and dissipated, and Lin Yu saw the tea cat who rescued him by piercing the sword through the black shadow.

——To be precise, it was the dreamer constructed from his impression of the tea cat, not her herself.

"Master, get rid of the habit of being distracted from time to time as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will really die."

"I know. The problem is that the stronghold is unusual." Lin Yu frowned, hesitated for a moment, looked at Alkaite, and said to him, "Hey, Arkaite, I'll go back to the stronghold to have a look, Xue Xueer, please Take care of it. Let me know through the communication channel at any time if something happens."

Regardless of Arquette's consent, Lin Yu swooped down and approached the stronghold.

"Okay." Alkaite shrugged, instead of blaming Lin Yu for his rudeness, he responded to his back.

Xue Xueer looked at Lin Yu's leaving figure, and lowered his eyes thoughtfully.

The evil spirits are gathering in suspicious numbers and are heading towards their stronghold. However, when Lin Yu arrived halfway, the dazzling wings of light swept across the army of evil spirits. Then the evil spirit seemed to have been ordered, and retreated without any reason.

Feeling strange, Lin Yu didn't stop because of this, and wanted to land in the alley near the noodle shop to check the situation quietly. But when he was about to descend, he found that someone had already taken his place in the alley. And that person made him shudder uncontrollably.

——The person standing there is the general of clock number one.

Lin Yu, who was diagonally above, couldn't see the general's expression. Even so, he felt a strong uneasiness in his heart because of the possibility that clock number one could investigate his own stronghold. Vaguely, he saw a strange light shining in the general's eyes.

The six people at the entrance of the noodle shop didn't notice anything unusual in the alley. They discussed the direction of walking to the small bridge, as if they wanted to investigate whether there were any witnesses nearby. This scene seemed to be misunderstood by the general as "Clock No. 2 leaving the ruins", and he turned and left in the depths of the alley.

Although Lin Yu really wanted to stop him and torture him about what he was doing just now, he knew that doing so would only scare the snake away. He had no choice but to inform others that the "General" was found near the stronghold through the communication channel, and at the same time followed him calmly and turned into a deep alley.

Following the general, he turned through six or seven alleys, crossing three desolate streets on the way. When Lin Yu followed the general around the Nth corner, a dazzling and strange light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, presenting multiple rainbow-like glare lights, and his vision was taken away in an instant.

The confusion only stayed in his heart for half a second, and then Lin Yu suddenly remembered the dominance ability of "Lantern", and was surprised that he was accidentally discovered by the other party. He heard a muffled sound of cracking from the ground, and something appeared in front of him out of thin air, hitting him hard.

"Leave no room, 'Warlock'. Kill this fly with all your might."

It was the general's hoarse voice. It is impossible for Lin Yu to forget after hearing it once.

Lin Yu took a step back with his senses, and the briefly restored vision captured the man called "Warlock" as a bald giant. Soil, Lin Yu will be restrained in the next second.

"Hehe... This is the first time I've seen an alchemist who looks like a villain in professional wrestling."

The field of vision returned to the white light again, and Lin Yu did not forget to provoke when he was in danger. The moment he felt that the two pillars were about to support his arms, the sound of the sword cutting across the concrete came first, and Lin Yu lost support under his feet, and was hugged by someone, and retreated in the air.

The appearance of the dream maker was under the control of Lin Yu, who deliberately picked the right time.

"The next time we meet, I'll bring the detergent and wipe your hair brighter than your partner's white light. Remember to thank me."

When the white light covering his sight dissipated, Lin Yu could no longer see the general and warlock. "Tea Cat" deliberately led Lin Yu into the direction where the evil spirits were densely packed, so as to confuse the general and the others. But because of this, it took them a lot of effort to break free from the group of evil spirits.

Lin Yu, who was sitting by the curb, looked down at the tattered clothes on his body, and managed to spit out the dust that had run into his mouth. He let out a sigh of relief. "Tea Cat" was not much better, but she was too busy taking a nap to pay attention to such things.

"Snoring..."

Lin Yu stretched out his index finger and poked her cheek lightly with his mouth curled up. The fingertips felt a cotton-like but smooth touch, but she just frowned slightly in displeasure, showing no intention of waking up. I don't know if that's how she charges.

Seeing that she was obsessed with "staying in bed", Lin Yu came to her with her head bowed to the right, sometimes poking her right cheek, sometimes poking her left, and finally using both index fingers together to touch the girl back and forth in a strange rhythm. Soft cheeks.

Finally, "Tea Cat" rubbed her eyes and raised her head. Her eyes seemed to be wide open and a little distracted due to lack of focus, and her expression was unusually dull, making one wonder if she was sleeping with her eyes open.

"you wanna die?"

The cold voice made me shudder. The familiar words made Lin Yu suddenly regard the girl as a real tea cat, and couldn't help but gasped in multiple senses. Lin Yu couldn't help asking himself, did he even like the fact that the tea cat had an abnormal waking mood from the bottom of his heart?

"It's not good...it's not good to like it to such an extent."

The tea cat that Lin Yu likes doesn't seem to be part of her, but the whole of her performance during this time together. And if he could still see her, Lin Yu would put her unknown personality that she might show in the future into his favorite list.

This level of liking will gradually evolve the other party into a part that you cannot give up. That is the so-called, never leave her again.

Humans are social animals, but Lin Yu is not used to living in groups and prefers to be alone, so he doesn't like the change of "no one can do without them". Lovebird may be the object of his longing, but it is also something out of reach in his mind.

In the end, Lin Yu was just afraid of breaking up when he realized that he couldn't do without the other person, and he was afraid of falling into "dependence".

"Hey... Master (Master), are you angry?"

"Tea Cat"'s sudden accusation made Lin Yu recover with shudders. When he noticed that the coldness in her light brown eyes disappeared without a trace, leaving only the tea cat's chronic laziness, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing. But if you stay here and don't leave, I'm really going to be angry."

Lin Yu moved away from the tea cat's gaze, and stood up half a step back. Tea Mao also stretched and stood up, the light spread on her snow-white shoulders and arms, outlining soft lines.

However, when she narrowed her eyes a little, her movements suddenly froze for a moment for some reason.

"What's wrong?" I asked her puzzled.

The girl didn't speak, she raised her fist and stretched it out in front of me, straight in front of me, pointing to my back. As for the direction of her finger, it should be the sky above the empty street, but at this moment it is a black shadow that is depressing and makes the heart beat faster.

Lin Yu instinctively had the idea of ​​pulling the "tea cat" into the alley, but the evil spirit didn't seem to notice them, and had no intention of following them at all, just "hurrying" non-stop.

The shadows of the undead covered the sky and seemed to be surging in a certain direction.

In the past, evil spirits would be attracted every time the distance was farther than now, and there was no reason why they could not detect their own aura.

"Let's follow up and have a look."

The black shadows were migrating somewhere in the sky, and Lin Yu and the "tea cat" tracked their whereabouts in the alley. Not long after, Lin Yu gradually found himself walking into a familiar alley. When he passed the alley at the end, Lin Yu suddenly understood what was going on with this sense of familiarity.

——The destination of the evil spirit is the sea of ​​stars on the edge of the town.

Lin Yu lay on the wall beside the alley, sticking out his eyes to observe the movement outside the alley. When the evil spirits in the air come near here, they will crash-land to the ground, and then pass through the door of Xinghai Tavern incessantly. Sombra's movements were extremely coherent, without any hesitation.

"Hey, they seem to want to leave the domination war?"

"Tea Cat" put his fingers under the cherry lips and said thoughtfully.

"Why, why?"

For the evil spirits, killing the ruler should be their mission. What can make them abandon their mission?

"It's very simple~ They don't want to die. So they want to escape through this door."

Lin Yu couldn't help but froze for a moment because of the tea cat's calm and calm words, and he couldn't help but let out a sneer from the depths of his throat.

"Don't want to die? Don't use such human-like terms to describe what the evil spirits think? I won't be able to do anything like this..." There was a wave of nausea in my heart for no reason, "Speaking of which, why do they think this Surely a door would allow them to escape?"

"Because the predecessors of the evil spirits were the townspeople of this world, and the predecessors of some townspeople were seniors who had participated in the domination war. If there are any of them, they should have heard of such things. Since their predecessors are" People”, it’s not surprising to have thoughts of not wanting to die~”

"Just now all the evil spirits withdrew from the stronghold, probably caused by Su Eirin~ Perhaps Su Eirin's order intentionally or unintentionally awakened their original thought-"I don't want to die". That's why they rub shoulders one after another like this to leave~"

The tea cat's words made Lin Yu shake his head vigorously, and he leaned back against the wall. Just as he was about to calm down, his slightly tired eyes suddenly widened in shock. Lin Yu suddenly remembered an important thing.

"Across from Xinghai Tavern...is it leading to the real world? Wouldn't the evil spirit go to reality?"

This kind of thing can't just sit idly by... Letting this monster in the dream come to reality, wouldn't the reality fall into chaos?

Lin Yu hurriedly turned around, ready to chase into the Xinghai Tavern to return to reality, and stop these evil spirits, but the tea cat unhurriedly reached out and grabbed Lin Yu's shoulder, stopping Lin Yu who was about to leave.

Turning around, Lin Yu just wanted to ask what's the matter with the tea cat, but Xue Xueer, who was left by him at Arquette, somehow appeared in the alley and stood behind the tea cat, which made Lin Yu's words suddenly change Sample.

"Xue Xueer? You...why are you here?"

Xue Xueer pursed her lips and did not answer his question, but asked Lin Yudao:

"You, do you want to return to reality?"

"Hey... first come, first served, I asked you the question first, right?"

"Well, he wants to return to reality." Tea Mao spoke to himself instead of Lin Yu to answer Xue Xueer's question.

"I think it's best not to do this. After all, it is not clear whether we can return here after going to reality. Although if the Xinghai Tavern is there, we have the right to return to reality. But it is also possible to "return to reality" A symbol of forfeit and retirement."

Xue Xueer's words shook Lin Yu a little. The tea cat put down the hand on Lin Yu's shoulder and said softly:

"Just like they said, returning to your own dreams will be treated as a waiver~"

"According to what you said... is the current Xinghai Tavern just a trap for us?"

Lin Yu stopped his thoughts of catching up, muttered to himself, and leaned back against the wall helplessly.

"Master, it's time for me to leave ~ staying here will affect the master."

"Tea Cat" tilted its head slightly, and asked Lin Yu for instructions. Now his dream maker is no longer in the state of "appearing at any time", but relies on Lin Yu's energy, which is different from the tea cat who used to be the dominator as the dream maker.

Seeing that Lin Yu agreed to his request, the "tea cat" disappeared in front of Lin Yu.

Lin Yu sighed, and secretly planned to switch to the mode of using the dream maker in the future, so that he could no longer do whatever he wanted like before.

"Xue Xue'er, didn't you let you stay with Arquette?"

"Arket agreed to my coming."

After hearing Xue Xueer's answer, Lin Yu inevitably didn't know how to react. He simply stopped pursuing the matter and said:

"Let's go. Even if we can't stop them, staying here will be helpless and a waste of time."

It is more appropriate to tell the matter to other people and let someone like Su Huilin handle it.

The two returned the same way, but met a lonely person on the way.

"Su Ruoyang? Why are you here alone?"

"Ah, it's a long story... Actually, I don't know what's going on. It should be the white cat who took Xia Yinci and Su Huilin away?"

Su Ruoyang scratched his head in embarrassment, raised his gaze embarrassingly, and said in a low voice:

"They must have been taken back to the stronghold. But I don't know the way back to the stronghold, so I happened to meet you."

"It's too much, don't you know the way back to your home base?" Lin Yu raised his eyebrows and laughed at Su Ruoyang wantonly, "Then why don't you find Xiaolu Road? Doesn't Yin claim that there is one machine that can make us all Has anyone contacted the equipment at the base?"

"I tried... but no one replied to me. Maybe it's not there?"

"Wow..Stupid cat is really unreliable!! Forget it, we just happened to go back to the base, so you can come with us."

Then you just said such a series of nonsense just to show the dignity of your teacher?

Su Ruoyang secretly complained about Lin Yu's awkward personality in his heart, but he could only think about it in his heart.

However, just as the three of them rushed towards the stronghold, Lin Yu wanted to tell Su Ruoyang about the tavern, but suddenly stopped in his tracks. His originally relaxed expression became extremely serious, and his breathing became short of breath.

"What, what's the matter?"

Lin Yu clutched the clothes on his chest tightly. The voices that kept coming to Lin Yu's mind were intermittent cries for help, almost incomplete.

"Hey! What's going on? Talk!"

The sound stopped abruptly, and Lin Yu didn't get any response, only meaningless thinking noise remained. As for what the other party said, Lin Yu couldn't distinguish clearly, only knew that the other party's tone was very urgent, and the strong emotion seemed to be so real that it rushed to his face.

"Xue Xueer, take Su Ruoyang back to the stronghold, and tell him about the Xinghai Tavern by the way."

Lin Yu, who dropped this sentence, hurried into the air before he could explain. Su Luoyang, who was still out of the situation, asked anxiously:

"What happened?"

"There's no time to explain! There must have been an accident on the 3rd and 8th clocks...As soon as you return to the stronghold, get the rest of the people to rush over to help! We're in the cave above!"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yu hurriedly accelerated and rushed to the sky.

"Wait...!" Xue Xueer stared weakly at Lin Yu's back, her expression was a little pale, she said dumbfoundedly, "But I don't know... the way back to the stronghold."

Lin Yu's figure had disappeared from their field of vision, Su Ruoyang turned around and looked Xue Xue'er up and down in disbelief.

"You, you don't know how to go back?"

"I haven't been there much...how could I know the way back..."

Xue Xue'er lowered her head aggrievedly, Su Ruoyang helplessly faced the sky with her palms on her face due to her flickering eyes.

"Huh... In short, let's try to contact Xiao Lulu again. Lin Yu just asked you to tell me something about the Xinghai Tavern, right? You should tell me what is going on when the time comes, so that OK?"

Su Ruoyang's proposal was not good, but Xue Xueer had no reason to refuse, so he nodded his head and silently acquiesced.

The glass windows of the nearby buildings have been damaged, just enough to allow them to pass through. While Xue Xueer was describing the situation of Xinghai Tavern, the two of them entered the building, then turned out from the opposite window, and came to the narrow but unobtrusive alley.

"Will the evil spirits migrate to reality in batches in order to survive? If so, the reality will indeed become very bad..."

Su Ruoyang let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that if there is time, it is necessary to go there, but now there are more important things. When he established contact with Xiao Lulu again, he only waited for four or five seconds before Xiao Lulu's voice finally rang in his ears.

"Ah...it's Su Ruoyang, right? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the reason why you came here in a hurry to borrow your sister is because there was trouble in the stronghold just now! As for your girlfriend, she was dragged here accidentally."

"Female? Girlfriend? Me, this...you should send us back quickly, Xue Xueer is here too."

Su Ruoyang stretched out her index finger and scratched her hot cheeks to hide her turbulent mood.

"OKOK! Let me find your location, now..."

The sound stopped abruptly. Su Ruoyang's mood that had just turned around was overwhelmed with unease, he frowned and asked the other end a few times anxiously, but he never got any response, only the noise of suspected electronic signal noise.

"what happened?"

However, he couldn't allow him to think, the deafening roar blew a gust of wind, attacking Su Luoyang's perception——

The evil dragon waving its huge wings in the sky opened its golden pupils like the apocalypse. The leading dragon stretched out its sharp claws and slowly cast a shadow over Su Ruoyang's place. The temperament is enough to make Su Ruoyang feel palpitations.

In a panic, Su Luoyang quickly pulled out the sickle to the side, and swung it in the posture of cutting off its thick arm, but was easily blocked by the overly spacious nails on the devil's claw, and the sickle and Su Luoyang were shocked together. Three meters away.

"Yo....It's really a narrow road to the enemy, isn't it? It doesn't take any effort to meet the master of clock number two."

The speaker stood on the top of the building on the right side of the alley, his dark green pupils coldly looked down at Su Ruoyang and Xue Xueer. Next to the speaker stood a boy in a green uniform, dressed like a postman. Oddly enough, he wears an odd antenna apparatus by his depressed hat.

"It's the people with clocks one and twelve."

In this war of domination, only the ruler of clock number 12 will be transformed into a dragon in Western European mythology. At the same time, Su Luoyang recognized the man with dark green eyes and the crutch with three skulls on the top that he held in his hand.

"How about this. Didn't you guys want to form an alliance with us and have been stubborn until now?" Dark green pupil glanced at the two people in the alley casually, suddenly pulled out an exaggerated fierce smile, and said in a cold voice, "Prove your strength , kill them both."

The tone is clearly pure use, even Su Ruoyang, an outsider, can hear it, but the rulers of the 12th clock are ecstatic when they face the use of the dark green pupil, as if they can get their wish as long as they complete the task assigned by the dark green pupil like.

"You all back off from me, and it's enough to leave it to me alone."

Just by vibrating its wings, an unbelievable hurricane is coming. Su Ruoyang quickly took a step back, protecting Xue Xueer behind his outstretched left arm, and swung the sickle with his right hand to block the sharp claws of the leading green dragon.

"Boy, tell me where Lin Yu and the black mist girl who always follow him are. Then I will leave you a whole body, so that you won't be kicked back to reality with nothing but a pool of blood."

Su Ruoyang stretched out his left hand and took out another sickle out of the air, grasping the gray-black handle tightly, crossed the sickle in both hands, and pressed it against Qinglong's single claw. Even though his feet kept rubbing backwards and the ground rolled up a layer of dirt, Su Ruoyang still tried his best to approach the opponent.

"Why did Lin meet them?"

"Do you still need to ask? How can someone who fooled us to such an extent let go?"

The force of the oppression is getting stronger and stronger, the arms are gradually unable to straighten, and the elbows bend weakly. The condescending dragon spit out a hot breath from its mouth. With its fierce roar, the unbelievable strange force embedded me in the mud almost below the knees.

But also thanks to this, Qinglong temporarily weakened the offensive. He adjusted his posture to smash my scythe away with more force.

There are only me and Xue Xueer here, and it is impossible to deal with them who have an absolute superiority in numbers. The best way is to escape here quietly. The problem was that there were dragons hovering in all directions, blocking our escape route in every direction.

My dominant ability is "Fantasy Clock", and I cannot use the ability to stop time or go back. Xue Xueer can create a curtain wall that replicates the target object. No matter which direction I think from, the only way I can go is to assist Xue Xueer's "copying".

Su Luoyang quickly drew up a simple plan. He swung aside the sickle in his left hand and turned it into blue crystal chips. He placed the silver sickle held in his right hand in the center of his body, and put his defensive posture, while his left hand was attached to his chest to try to grasp the false pointer.

It's completely different from the previous mood. In the past, he rushed forward with the feeling that even if he had nowhere to go, he would come back in four hours, but now because he knew that "being killed will usher in real death", he had no choice but to desperately try to survive.

Sweat oozes from the palm of his hand, Su Ruoyang has no time to take care of this wet discomfort, the light in his eyes suddenly becomes sharp, the golden flame reflects the carefully carved ancient clock, and the pointer trembles to my serial number.

The roar of anger and the sound of the pendulum "clanging" followed one after another.

The sickle in the right hand hit an unstoppable impact, and at the same time, the left hand also felt exactly the edges and corners of the pointer.

"Imagine the hands of the clock, go to the time you should freeze—"
