Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

The theater played Lin Yu's past.

Because Lin Yu was imprisoned in the dream prison isolated from the world, she lost the ability to lucid dream and the right to go to the cracks in the dream. The 14th Domination War could not decide the final outcome, so it did not come to an end.

The next thirty-seven years are like a bubble, which immediately bursts the moment it touches fate, making only an insignificant sound and disappearing without a trace.

Lin Yu was sitting alone by the concrete wall in the dark and humid restricted area. The unnamed worm crawled like a snake, slipping away from the gap left under his legs.

Lin Yu kept staring ahead, as if someone was standing opposite him. But in fact, there are only sealed iron bars, flashing warning lights, and a seal that says "Keeping out", revealing the atmosphere of no one entering from time to time to the outside world.

I don't feel hungry, and I don't have any physiological needs that normal people should have.

The room deep in the restricted area seemed to be tailor-made for such Lin Yu. There was only a wooden bed in the corner that creaked when lying on it, and there was nothing else.

Even the light does not exist, and dies with time.

The designer of the room seemed to be ridiculing Lin Yu with the rudimentary layout, "Didn't you say that this prison is just a dream? If that's the case, you shouldn't need anything you need in real life, right?"

But Lin Yu never complained. In other words, he has become so numb that he has lost all emotion except a sense of meanness. Only when Xiao Lulu insisted on sneaking to visit him every now and then, his eyes could flicker the candle light a little, but it flickered and blew it out soon.

Lin Yu was just waiting for someone. Waiting for the pet in the mouth of the dream maniac to save him and the people he cares about one day.

"I have to admit that even if you climbed up by cheating, you have at least a bit of aptitude for killing gods. It's a pity that the person who should come here is not you, but the person hidden in your memory. Next time If you still have a chance, you might as well bring your friend with you.”

The cruel words wiped out Lin Yu's hope. He seemed to be trapped in a raging fire. Even though the chance of surviving is slim, I still look forward to someone outside the window to pull me out. This is the unique expectation of life in the fire.

Before he knew it, Lin Yu closed his eyes tiredly.

The picture seemed to be submerged in water, and then it clearly reflected the previous bedroom, where Lin Yu at the desk was using his arm as a pillow. A quick knock on the door outside the screen woke him up. Lin Yu clicked his tongue, scratched his head and got up lazily. When he walked to the door, he heard a female voice outside, and opened the door hesitantly.

The angle of view was swept down from the corner above the door. I couldn't see who Lin Yu was talking to, but the voice seemed to be Su Huilin.

It looks like a surveillance video. The past time is marked below, "May 28, 2018 12:52".

The two talked for a while, and Lin Yu suddenly closed the door and walked into the bedroom, picked up a pile of homework and handed it to the other party, and dismissed her after a few casual explanations.

Lin met the other party and closed the door after leaving. Just as he was yawning and preparing to go back to the bedroom, unexpectedly there was another knock on the door. The other party moved cautiously, as if even he was not sure whether he had found the wrong door, and he was so light that he would float away at any time.

The perspective switches to the direction facing Lin Yu. Sliding perforations are suddenly added to the upper and lower sides of the screen, just like the video in the film. Lin Yu opened the door viciously, but the moment he looked over, he froze in front of the door, his eyes staring straight.

"That...do you remember me?"

The girl outside the door pointed at herself, her clear eyes showed some suspicion. The tear mole at the corner of her eye is dotted with her seeming laziness, which is matched with her long brown hair tied into a single ponytail. Lin Yuguang couldn't suppress the unspeakable longing in his heart just by looking at it one more time.

Time goes on forever. Countless memories are forgotten every second, only her figure remains the same as before.

"I'm here, dreaming."

Lin Yu's inner worries staggered from the screen to form a voice-over, and the film that was still sliding seemed to be urging him to speak the lines he had already decided. He wanted to open his mouth but felt stuck in his throat, repeatedly falling into silent reincarnation several times.

Suddenly, the perforations inlaid on both sides of the picture disappeared.

Liberating Lin Yu from his memory, he lowered his gaze with a sense of despicability, clenched his clothes on his chest, and trembled as if his fists were stuck to his chest.

"I haven't seen you."

"Huh? I'm the 'brown-haired idiot'."

The girl blinked her eyes, and her soft tone seemed that even she was not sure of the answer. But Lin Yu's attitude of refusal was very tough. He grabbed the door handle and prepared to push the door forcefully.

"do not know."

Suddenly raised her hand against the door, the girl stubbornly refused to let go, the trembling light in her eyes proved that she mustered a lot of courage.

"Or is it 'Idiot Magical Girl'?"

Lin Yu clenched his teeth, trying to hold back the tears, sore eyes came from his eyes. He clenched the doorknob tightly, swallowed his heavy breath, and expressed an unquestionable refusal.

"This is my home, please leave. I don't have any impression of you."

"Huh? You called me that last night?"

The girl tried her best to smile, but sadness escaped from her eyes. The meaning of the words of the past is completely different.

Lin Yu, who finally made up his mind to look up, caught the sadness hidden in the girl's eyes. The emotions that surged like a tsunami weighed down Lin Yu's neck, and his whole body sizzled like a burnt pyre.

"If I hadn't met you from the beginning, none of the subsequent stories would have happened."

The tea cat suddenly grabbed the hem of the clothes, its eyes wavered, and the misty rain caused ripples. The horizon falls into monotonous black and white.

"Although without the color brought by your appearance, my world will always be dark."

There is no way forward, and nothing worth fighting for. Even the dream maker, who represents the person he loves, is a gift given to him by the tea cat.

To be mediocre, to die alone.

"However, if I had never experienced color, I would not feel pain even in the dark."

You won't always be looking for it, but feel more and more that you have lost something precious.

"Sorry. Forgive me for not being able to fulfill our agreement and disappoint your expectations. I can't realize the wish you entrusted to me. The person you chose is not qualified to challenge the gods. I can't win, and I can't bring you back the power that dominates the war. The truth. This time, please let nothing happen.”

The beginning of the story is a mistake.

All the happiness extended from this is a bubble that will dissipate in reality sooner or later.

The tea cat should choose someone, not himself.

If it's her innate inability to reject others, it's her tenderness that keeps her from telling me the truth.

Then this error-finding game should be written by yourself.

Lin Yu clenched the doorknob again, made up his mind to push it open, and the narrowed crack creaked to drive the tea cat out of the door.

"I really didn't recognize the wrong person, huh."

Suddenly, the tea cat's voice overlapped with Lin Yu's memory again. The train travels to unknown places along different tracks, to find it comes and goes and turns back to the original track.

"Our story begins here, but we didn't just meet today. Even if you think it would be nice if you didn't meet me, this is not the place for you to cut off the fate. Because when I met you yesterday, I It’s up to you not to choose.”

Tea Mao's tone warmed up, she smiled in Lin Yu's moist vision, her tear-filled eyes shone softly.

"Going back to the more distant past, we got married five years ago. The encounter with you has long been a predestined accident, and you are the only person I should choose. So, please don't regret being with me no matter what. my encounter."

"But I don't have the ability to meet your expectations." Lin Yu shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "You have no reason to choose me."

"I like you very much. The reason is enough." Tea Mao said as he raised his cold little hand and pressed it against Lin Yu's cheek, "Don't forget. No matter what, I am half a god. What you have now is the favor of the gods. Oh~」

"I... am not qualified..."

"The mere qualification to challenge the gods, I will try my best to give it to you as a gift. Or is it that I, who is also a god, can't compare to the god who denies everything about you?"

The tea cat put away its smile and tilted its cheeks, looking tentatively at Lin Yu whose eyes were wet with tears.

Her existence will always shine on his future like a light.

Lazy like a cat. Refreshing like tea. It just so happened that cats and tea were both Lin Yu's favorite things in his life.

"Lin Yu, I don't think happiness is an accessory. Since I chose you, I should pray for you. Although as a god, I don't have the confidence to bring you happiness, but I will do my best as a god. , work hard for your happiness."

The tea cat lightly stood on tiptoe and hugged Lin Yu's neck. Lin Yu couldn't help hugging the tea cat's shoulder.

Their foreheads touched, their noses touched each other, and the feeling of connecting with someone came to their hearts.

The tea cat closed her eyes quietly, feeling the temperature of Lin Yu's body.

The warm breath blew on Lin Yu's face, and half an unforgettable summer came.

But summer is leaving.

Tears fell to the back of Lin Yu's hand and flowed down the bend of his arm.

Sensing uneasiness in an instant, Lin Yu hurriedly opened his eyes. The tea cat sobbed softly with its eyes closed, tears rolling down its cheeks. Lin Yu wanted to comfort the tea cat, but his body was as if petrified.

"I'm leaving now."

Lin Yu looked directly into the tea cat's misty eyes, and tried hard to squeeze out a sound from his throat.

"With only the power of half a god, it is really impossible to make changes. Even if I pray for you with all my strength, I can't stop the sad things from happening. So, since I want to do my best as a god, then I must Facing the fate I once evaded."

The tea cat's strength in hugging Lin Yu inadvertently increased a little, as if expressing his fear of the upcoming event in this way.

"I just found out recently. The purpose of the domination war is actually the observer's war. Through the domination war held every seven years, 13 winners are selected to become gods, and finally these 13 gods are allowed to play the final game."

Lin Yu suddenly realized what the tea cat meant, and the panic in his eyes almost ran out of his immobile body. But he still couldn't get rid of the tea cat's blockade, so he could only watch the tea cat make a decision.

"It was my withdrawal at the beginning that led to the shortage of observers, which led to the emergence of the 14th domination war. Another dominator, 144 people suffered from mutual plunder, deceit and betrayal, life and death, and self-sufficiency. The ending of killing each other. Just because of my evasion, it caused such bad consequences. Letting you endure such pain for no reason is also my dereliction of duty as a god?"

The tea cat finally showed its bright eyes, and its smile still resembled that cup of tea, but Lin Yu could no longer feel the fragrance of the tea at this moment, leaving only the bitter smell.

"I'm sorry, Lin Yu. I'm the one who should really apologize for being so useless as a god. This time the domination war failed to tell the winner, and the observer's war is still insufficient to carry out the war. After 7 years like this The 15th Domination War will be held again, and more people will be implicated. So this time, let me take the initiative to accept the invitation of the Dream Madman.”

The close foreheads gradually parted, and a hazy light passed between the two.

"But no matter what happens in the future, I will always be a god that belongs only to you."

The tea cat took a few steps back, her eyes still showing a bit of reluctance, but she finally turned around resolutely and disappeared into the white field of vision.

When he left, he took Lin Yu's memory with him.

As if waking up from a long dream, completely forgetting everything that happened in the dream.

All that was left for Lin Yu were the tears that slid down his cheeks.

Lin Yu wiped away the tears that were still dripping from the corners of his eyes, looking at the water stains on the back of his hands, he was lost in thought for a moment.

"Did I just fall asleep?"

The screen went dark briefly, and when it resumed, it was still in the restricted area. Lin Yu lay quietly on the wooden bed, raising her arms to her forehead. Until the sound of footsteps in the distance caught his attention.

It was not the usual visit from Xiao Lulu, because he did not see the light from the flashlight.

Lin Yu got up and looked towards the direction of the door, his pupils dilated suddenly and the corners of his mouth twitched uneasily when someone came.

Su Ruoyang, who was supposed to win without a fight, wore the same prison uniform as himself, and fell into the same situation.

Fragments of memories that had been erased appeared intermittently, and Lin Yu felt a sharp pain deep in his brain, and he couldn't help but stop when he was about to walk to the door. He vaguely felt that what he had forgotten was a very important thing, but he couldn't remember what kind of thing it was.

I just remembered that someone told him that the 14th Domination War didn't tell the winner.

Seeing that Su Ruoyang was about to leave, Lin Yuqiang endured the severe pain and ran to the railing and rushed towards Su Ruoyang's figure, but there was only the sound of the chain hitting the iron railing.

Lin Yu drove away the dizziness caused by the pain, and gritted his teeth to express the despair that had accumulated until now. The screen was dark at the right moment.

"Yo... It's been a long time, Su Ruoyang."

As if the curtain of a long movie had come to an end, the lights in the movie theater were turned on in an instant. Everything in sight is immediately deprived by the strong light, and involved in pure and flawless white.

The dazzling sunlight from the sky fell down, leaving a dry touch on his cheeks. It's like the feeling of water on the skin after it dries up. Dazedly aware of my own tears, I raised my arms to block the hot noon sun, and tried to open my eyes. The tears lost the barrier of the eyelids and broke the bank.

"Is what just now... Lin Yu's memory?"

When Lin met Yuda in the same dream, the strong empathy caused their memories to overlap unintentionally.

The moment after the black cat manipulated the space to send us to a dream, Lin Yu constructed a conceptual device he called a "consciousness circuit" in order to prevent us from being scattered to different places, so that our thoughts can be connected as one.

If there is no accident, the phenomenon similar to recalling dreams just now is probably the result of Lin Yu's dominance unintentionally.

I sat up slowly. The scenery that rushes into the eyes is the sea formed by the violet petals, extending to the limit of the sight, responding to the warm sunshine above the distant horizon, and sweeping the misty halo.

"Speaking of which... there is no room for thinking about such things..."

Wiping away the tears that blurred my vision, I immediately got up and walked towards the town behind me.

This is my dreamland, Lin Yu is not familiar with the environment here. If Lin Yu came here before me, it should be more likely to go to town.

After all, no one would run into the sea without knowing it, right?

While searching for Lin Yu's figure, I shouted Lin Yu's name loudly. Other than that, there was no other way to communicate with Lin Yu. Lin Yu's "consciousness circuit" did not play a role in communication, and the two of us finally separated as he expected.

When walking to the gate of the town. A hand suddenly stretched out from behind covered my mouth, and the name I was about to say made my stomach feel sick, and the steps I stepped out stopped in place. The palm close to my lips exuded a fragrance, and my eyes followed the blue petals fluttering in the air. I recognized the identity of the other party in an instant, and turned around in a daze.

The girl was still in that milky white gauze dress, and she stared straight at me with jewel-like pupils. The indifferent color in the eyes hides the joy of meeting again.

"I finally found you."

Su Huilin raised her right eyebrow pretending to be displeased, and gently hugged her chest. For some reason, the tone sounded a bit coquettish.

"Sorry, a lot of things have happened since then, so I didn't find you immediately."

"I'm not angry." With a hint of resentment in Su Huilin's voice, she closed her eyes and turned her head away, and complained softly, "Last time, you made me wait for you for half a year and ignored my existence all the time. I'm used to it. .”

It seems that she is really unhappy.

【She regards you as the only light, you should give up everything to respond to her, right? 】

I suddenly remembered what Lin Yu said earlier, and I couldn't help but feel a heavy sense of guilt in my heart, and my chest felt heavy.

"Pfft... Brother, why don't you have a long memory!"

Su Huilin's bulging cheeks were deflated like a balloon, she suddenly covered the corners of her mouth, and giggled, seeing my bewildered reaction, the smile in her eyes became more intense.

"I'm just kidding~ How could I be really angry with you... Heck, to be honest, what kind of expression is that on your face, I can't help it at all."

"What! I'm seriously thinking about how to get your forgiveness, okay?"

It suddenly occurred to me that such a scene had happened not long ago. Su Huilin's temperament has become so teasing, I am getting more and more helpless with her. Especially when she couldn't help smiling and looked over with frank and innocent eyes full of interest, how could I get angry because of her prank.

"I'm sorry bro."

Su Huilin still couldn't hold back her smile, she just smiled and walked behind me, pushing my back and walking to the small shop next door.

"Hey, you're so heavy! Brother, you go on your own. It's not very convenient to talk here. We'll talk about important things later."

Having said that, Su Erin's hands were still sticking to my back, and I walked into this shop that was suspected to be a weapon shop one after the other. As soon as I entered the door, I saw my sickle lying quietly on the counter. A pair of white and small hands stretched out from behind the counter, and they wiped the scythe until it shone brightly.

"Is it... Filia?"

I called out the name suspiciously, and the girl suddenly stood on tiptoe, poking out her eyes that seemed to be shining brightly.

"Hey, this is what you left behind, big brother. Do you still remember Filia?"

Hearing this, I nodded, then lowered my eyes to carefully observe the sickle that Filia was cleaning.

To be honest, compared to my previous impression, this scythe looks a little strange.

The handle of the scythe was wrapped with better silk and satin, and the blade turned completely black like the night sky, as if it had been coated with a layer of paint, but it didn't seem to weaken its sharpness at all, on the contrary, it made people feel stronger.

Simply put, it gives me a completely different feeling than before.

"I heard that in order to protect me last time, you threw everything away to protest against the Dream Thief~ Although I hope you can give priority to your own name, it is good that you are fine. Now most of the Dream Thief have evacuated you The dream seems to be the effect of your fantasy clock."

Su Erin explained, took my hand and sat down on the edge of the sofa. After she finished speaking, Filia suddenly showed admiration in her eyes, and screamed excitedly.

"Filia saw it all. The big brother was so handsome protecting his sister. At that time, many villains saw the majesty of the big brother and escaped through a door. But the big brother dealt with the two clones and the risk The big villain who came out of the black shadow disappeared. Filia doesn’t know what happened.”

"The villain she's talking about is the ruler who invades your dreams." Su Erin on the side acted as an interpreter.

"And then! Filia saw a large black mist coming out, swallowing up a lot of villains! Gerald, Lifa, Delia, Bella and many, many people saw it Aww! It’s exactly the same as the black mist that Big Brother defeated those two big villains, no matter how you think about it, it was summoned by Big Brother!”

I try my best to recall what happened at that time. Although I don't have the impression that I have done such a thing, when I dealt with clones and black shadows, I did use Xiao Lulu's dominance ability, and with the intention of driving all dream stealers away The thought of going out spread the black mist.

"However, there are still quite a few fish that slip through the net and hide in a corner of this world."
