Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

"Lyfa and the others informed me that a large number of dream stealers were swallowed by the black mist, but there are still a few dream stealers wandering in this world. I am worried about their plotting a sneak attack and so on, so I let the children go to another place for a while For a while. Only Lyfa, Filia, and Gerald are with me here."

"Why aren't you with the other kids?" I frowned in confusion.

"Because of you, brother~" Su Huilin pursed her lips sadly. She stared at me and said angrily, "I have been looking for you for several days but I haven't found you. I thought you would always sleep, I was afraid that you would not find us when you came back, so I stayed here and waited for you. Who knows, bro, you haven’t closed your eyes for two whole days. Hmph~”

I don’t know if I misheard the tone of the last baby-like voice.

However, my attention was quickly attracted by other doubts.

I habitually raised my hand to move the hair on my forehead.

The time spent in prison cannot be calculated accurately, but it is estimated to be at least nearly a hundred days or more, which is about one day in reality. For unknown reasons, my dream and reality are passing at the same time, so the "two full days" Su Erin said is the actual time spent by my body.

Two days ago, I killed the two leaders of Clone Guest and Black Shadow in my dream. Due to the combined effect of drugs and ESS, sleepwalking broke out. Xia Yinci and my father were both alive and dead because of my indiscriminate attack.

Every time I think of that nightmarish scene, it becomes difficult to breathe. Although somewhere in the back of my mind is still thinking that maybe things are not going the worst way.

In a way, the fact that I was imprisoned by the Inner Research Society kept me hopeless.

After all, after this, the police arrested me for a crime that is still undetermined, and skipped all due legal procedures such as criminal investigation, court trial, etc., and directly sentenced me to serve an indefinite sentence. When I woke up from a coma, I was already in a prison that revealed a sense of abnormality everywhere.

At the same time, I disappeared almost instantly in the dream world, attracting the children's attention. In fact, I was abducted by the Core Research Association into an "isolated field", essentially transferring from my own dream to an unknown dream, and since then I have lost contact with everyone outside.

On the other hand, because the Dream Stealers were all expelled, Su Huilin returned to freedom logically. But the whereabouts of the dream stealers who are still here are unknown.

"If dream stealers add to the chaos, things will become a little troublesome..."

I let go of the hair that was curled up by myself, and looked out the window anxiously.

I don't know where Lin Yu is now. If there is a sneak attack by the dream thief, things may become more and more complicated.

"Brother...you also have something important to say?"

The awe-inspiring voice passed by his ears clearly. I immediately turned my gaze, Su Erin's feet touched the edge of the sofa at some point, she hugged one knee like no one else, her cheek was on the knee and looked at me, her slightly sensual legs were tightly pressed together , she was unaware of the seductive feeling emanating from her actions,

"No..." I just wanted to deny it, but I remembered the pockmark that Su Erin had knocked on my forehead, so I smiled and said, "There is something I need your help with."

As soon as the words fell, the voice of a child "hey" sounded from the direction of the counter. Filia struggled to drag the heavy sickle, her eyes turned into a pair of greater than less than, and finally took a few steps to walk over, but she was still separated from me by thousands of miles.

I took the initiative to get up and went over, and in a few seconds, I made up the distance between us that was still as difficult to bridge as a gap to her. Filia pouted unhappily, panting heavily, wiping the sweat beads on her forehead, flickering. Eyes raised his head and looked up at me, the extremely destructive cute eyes hit my heart.

"Thank you, Filia."

I couldn't help stroking Filia's head, she giggled and nodded obediently along with my strength.

I took the sickle she raised with all her strength, but it was not as heavy as I imagined. I tried to swing it in the direction of no one, but it was much lighter than the previous one. Although Filia's eyes are full of admiration, but I think it should be that the power value set by the dream is too small for her.

Remember that Filia and other children are the lives created by Su Huilin. Although they live in my dreams, I have absolutely no control over them.

Just like Chalt in the past, the dominance brought by lucid dreams seems unable to directly interfere with the "person" with free will.

In this way, the inhabitants of Chart's world, and the children living in my world now... Are they all undoubted human beings?

"There is no real human...?"

Even though they were born in a dream, they have never set foot in reality, so can they be called human beings?

"For me, the place to live is reality."

A deep and magnetic male voice sounded from right behind me. I suddenly felt that the other person's words were familiar, so I turned around and looked at him.

The armor that looked heavy was obviously the dark knight who once belonged to the Dream Stealer.

In reality, he had already been killed by "The Name of the Virgin", but his life continued into the dream.

He said that it was Su Erin's instructions that entrusted him with strong willpower and allowed him to exist.

Should all the places I live in be considered reality?

I quickly turned back to the direction behind me, and saw Su Erin's confident and beautiful purple pupils.

"Can you use the dreammaker?"

"During the two days you were away, I tried to use my control ability and summon the dreamer. In order to prevent the same thing from happening again."

After saying that, Su Huilin turned around, lifted her long hair that was pouring down, and the jet-black wings suddenly tore through the fabric of the gauze skirt behind her, and slowly spread the wings of the devil.

The heart twitched suddenly. I know better than anyone that Su Huilin loathes and even fears herself. Therefore, after the war of dominance ended, she had to reject her demon-like self, shut out her past self, and become an angel-like existence in the eyes of the children.

"Is that... really okay?"

"Huh? What's the matter? If I can't even protect myself well and drag others down like a burden, then I'm not much better than I was before."

The fallen angel spreads the wings of the devil.

For herself who is not right and left now, Su Huilin sincerely shows a smile of relief.

"Hey... don't you like it, bro?"

She approached me with great interest. Bright eyes gleamed softly.

It has to be said that no matter what kind of image Su Huilin appears in, she can perfectly surpass it, and in anyone's eyes, she is too beautiful. The fallen angel's attire now makes it difficult to pick out any bad things, but it still exudes a unique charm wantonly.

I didn't know how to answer her for a while.

"Hey, don't tease your brother..."

"Is there? Strange. I think it looks pretty."

Su Huilin smirked and took a step closer to me, tilting her cheeks foully.

"Are you embarrassed?"

His cheeks immediately became hot. I swallowed involuntarily. However, Su Huilin stretched her arms wide open, as if waiting for a hug.

Seeing that I stood there in a daze and didn't respond, Su Huilin actually jumped into my arms and hugged my body, burying her face in my chest.

"Brother, hug~"

"Wait... let's get down to business!"

Leaving the town, I consciously or unintentionally distanced myself from Su Huilin. Su Huilin walked in front tacitly, with her hands behind her back. She didn't expose the flush that was still on my cheeks, and her tail fluttered left and right. , I can't see the look on her face.

A few minutes ago, I briefly explained to her what I had experienced in these two days.

Although Su Huilin didn't say it directly, there was clearly distress in her eyes. In addition, the gestures also revealed worry and a bit of concern.

I was worried about my father and Xia Yinci, whose life and death were unknown; I was worried about my feelings, and I didn't dare to ask them about their current situation.

In the end she still didn't ask, she simply turned her back and walked in front of me alone; I knew she cared, but I kept silent.

When the two were silent, Su Huilin suddenly stopped coldly. I realized that there was a clue to Lin Yu's whereabouts, so I no longer cared about the little thoughts of the two of them, and immediately approached her in three steps at a time.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing this, Su Huilin raised her head and looked in front of me, but her gaze went straight through me and landed on the scenery near me.

This is the center of the Violet Sea. In the four directions, the front is the sea, and the right is also the sea. Only behind you can barely see the seaside town, and the golden light across the sea on the left.

In fact, the sunlight hits the metal track, making it look like a golden line stands out of thin air.

"Lin Yu seems to be nearby."

Su Huilin's line of sight revolves around her, and finally falls back to the unreachable horizon. She frowned, looking confused.

It really doesn't look like there are people around here, unless someone has dived below the surface of the sea. But the radar-like device she improvised did show three overlapping white dots right there. Leaving Su Huilin and I aside, the third white dot should represent Lin Yu.

The fact is that there is no one around.

I vaguely felt that something was wrong, and suddenly my eyes drifted downwards, and the focus fell on the purple sea water below.

There are no more waves and the sea is unusually calm.

Then—

The abnormal sound cut through the sea in an instant, and the danger passed through the sea and approached the sight. In the nick of time, I pulled out the scythe from the nothingness, and slashed the sharp attack straight away. But the sound of the wind still kept coming and going across the sea, and the well-planned offensive hit like a tidal wave in an instant.

It is impossible for me personally to block all the attacks. I immediately hugged Su Erin's body and retreated, trying to reduce the possibility of her being injured, and at the same time swung the sickle to prepare for defense.

Almost at the moment when the confrontation was approaching, the figure of the dark knight stood in front of us, spreading his hands forward, propping up an invisible barrier.

The attack rained down, colliding with the barrier to form vortex-like ripples.

Taking advantage of the time when the black knight intercepted the attack for us, I lifted the sickle high above my head, grasped the handle of the knife and slashed down on the water surface. In a moment, the purple sea water was scattered on both sides like violet petals, finally exposing the interior of the sea water.

Su Huilin blocked the burst of airflow with one hand, held the detection device steady with the other hand, and found the position of the third white dot.

"Brother, it's right behind you!"

I turned around quickly, and the sickle crossed my neck for half a turn, and I grabbed the handle with my right hand. The black blade penetrated into the hole just opened from the sea surface, hooked the opponent's collar and dragged him out of the sea.

"whispering sound……"

The opponent changed the direction of the attack, and the airflow that turned into a blade gathered towards me. I split the fabric of his clothes in the air, and I was the first to cut off his head with a knife. The airflow that seemed to be gathered on purpose suddenly slackened, and dissipated like a deflated ball with a whistling sound.

The azure blue crystal shards drifted away from the blood gushing from the neck, and were swept below the surface of the sea by the waves of the recovered sea water.

"The sixth Dream Stealer that appeared." The dark knight casually put away the barrier in front of him and explained, "There is still half of it left."

"I have troubled you for the past two days."

I owe my thanks to the Dark Knight.

"Nothing, if it wasn't for your dream to take in my lord, I would have already lost the willpower my lord entrusted to me, and I would have disappeared into nothingness." The black knight nodded slightly, and still said in a respectful tone, "So be patient I will take my leave first. My lord needs to constantly consume mental power to maintain my existence, so I should not stay for long."

With the acquiescence of me and Su Erin, the dark knight gradually disappeared.

Seeing that Su Huilin's expression is always indifferent, I can't help thinking that when she was called by the dark knight with various honorific titles, her face would often flush. At that time, she always had a frosty face, and always held the aloofness of rejecting people thousands of miles away. Now she falls into the mortal world like a fairy who does not eat fireworks, and she has a lot of human affection when getting along with her.

"Let's go... Lin Yu is really not here."

Su Huilin put down the device in a little disappointment, and the white dots displayed on the screen were only me and her.

Could it be that Lin Yu was scattered to other dream worlds?

I thought about all the possibilities, and Su Erin and I were going back to the town first. But after walking a few steps, the scorching sun suddenly dimmed. I instinctively looked up at the sky, and there was a rumbling sound like a thunderstorm in the distance, and the black clouds coming from nowhere gradually converged to one point.

Under the black cloud is the center of the previous golden track, now like a sudden black line, dividing the boundless sea into two sides.

At the same time, Su Erin's radar also reacted abnormally, and the alarm sounded. Su Huilin and I looked at the screen at the same time, and saw dense white dots appearing on the left border of the map.

If it weren't for the limited boundary of the radar display, perhaps the number of white dots would be several times the current display.

Aware of this abnormality, I immediately grabbed Su Huilin's arm, changed direction and approached the railroad track on the left, and abnormal color blocks flickered in the space under the black cloud, as if a realist painter suddenly used abnormally colored paint to embellish the space. The scenery paints the sky in dazzling gold, and makes the sun glow with a blue halo.

Su Huilin and I ran on the long railroad tracks, looking up at the incredible scenery in the distance.

If you carefully observe the gathered black clouds, you will notice that they are like a large amount of black mist floating in the sky, and it is impossible not to think of the black cat.

If he guessed correctly, Lin Yu had already completed his task and successfully built the world gate leading to the lower prison. As for the black clouds in the sky now, it is the black cat's ability to control when it is released, and it is sending the criminals up, so that at the same time it can explain the densely displayed white spots on the radar device.

The next step is to use the "door" opened by the Core Research Association to create a huge impact on the lower layer and break through to the dream layer that is closer to reality.

The situation gradually became clear, and I must join them as soon as possible.

According to my experience of dreaming back to reality due to the state of near death, and the experience of driving the dream thief out of the dream before, the only person who can create an internal shock is me, and if there is no accident, it is my "fantasy clock" impact.

All accidents have inevitability. Lin Yu's ability to control the dream, my ability to control, and the necessity of the black cat for nuclear research are the prerequisites for victory in this battle.

However, the radar device sounded the warning bell again. I saw six white dots appearing on the other side of the map, moving towards the middle of the track just like us.

Su Huilin suddenly looked at me in blank dismay, and got a possible answer almost at the same time.

"Brother..."

"Well, I know...it's very likely to be the three dream stealers. After all, such a sudden movement, it is impossible not to attract their attention."

The other party is a dream stealer who is more or less involved in dominating the war. It is quite possible that he knows Lin Yu and the black cat. According to the series of revenge-like actions they have made against me before, it is very likely that they will sneak attack Lin Yu and the others.

The problem was that Lin Yu and Hei Mao didn't know about this situation. At that time, the bell for the end of the self-retirement came too suddenly, and our actions inevitably made mistakes. Designing the first layer of dreams into my world, but not telling them the situation here in time is our most important mistake.

Although there are only 6 Dream Stealers remaining, only he and Hei Mao are the rulers in Lin Yu's side. The other criminals can't even protect themselves from the attack. If they launch a sneak attack, Lin Yu and Hei Mao may not be able to withstand it .

"Can I still use the "Fantasy Clock"? Expel them all at once like last time?"

Hearing Su Erin's suggestion, I immediately closed my eyes, imagining the pointer floating in my hand, but I still didn't have the real feeling of grasping something.

no. Sure enough, the drugs from the Core Research Association played an interfering role. Without decades of practice like that of Lin Yu and Hei Mao, he would not be able to use his dominance ability at all.

Now we can't rely on the imaginary clock, we need to use other methods to create a way out.

"We can't let these dream stealers disrupt our plan again and again. We can only lure them away... Are you okay?"

Although Su Huilin is now able to ask the dream maker to help, and according to her, she has contacted the dominator ability in the past two days, but I really don't think her dominator ability can recover to a few percent in just two days, and her "devil king" "Command" itself is a self-destructive trick.

If she can use that "talent" in reality, then there is no need to worry about letting her deal with six dream stealers alone, but now she doesn't seem to recognize her terrifyingly strong "talent" , let her accompany me to deal with those dream stealers whose dominance ability is still unknown, I have to say it is a risky decision.

"It's okay." Su Erin nodded at me seriously. As if sensing the concern in my eyes, she immediately said, "Your sister is not an idiot. If she thinks she will drag you down, she will never be so stupid as to act with you~ Please believe me. "

Since Su Erin said so, of course I have no reason to refuse. If you want to be stingy with even this little bit of trust, it will deny our more than ten years of fetters.

Jumping down from the rails to the surface of the sea, we moved forward at full speed in a straight line, heading towards the location where the Dream Thief was expected to arrive.

Not long after, they ran into Dream Thief head-on at a position 100 meters away from the railroad track, but different from the number of people shown by the radar, three of them were hiding under the water.

"Yo... It's really a narrow road to enemies."

One of them immediately put on a defensive posture, clenched the hilt of his waist with his right hand and stepped back half a step.

I grabbed Su Erin's arm and turned the sickle to cut a straight line through the water before he could make a move. The impacting waves instantly separated the two sides, exposing the two people under the water. Another person hid in the water, but failed to force him to reveal his real body. But now I can only leave some room for myself and tolerate unexpected errors.

I hurriedly pulled Su Huilin towards the end of the track, my pace was urgent but deliberately slowed down, while paying attention to their movements on the map.

The purpose is to distract the Dream Thief, we don't need to confront them head-on. After all, the opponent has an advantage in numbers and has the ability to dominate the enemy's darkness. Now as long as they find the right time and let the dark knight restrain them in the cage formed by the four walls at the same time, the current task can be completed smoothly.

"What should we do? Shall we chase now?"

Hearing this, the man from just now glanced at the black clouds in the sky that seemed to have a gap, and the hilt of his sword made a rubbing sound when he held it.

"Needless to say? These guys definitely have other plans! Go after them and see!"

Hooked.

Su Huilin picked up the radar, and the white dot representing us on the map is deviated from the route, gradually moving away from the black cloud in the center of the track. But one of the white dots suddenly accelerated, approaching the two white dots in front representing us. At the same time, a black shadow passed under the water surface, pierced in front of us and burst out of the water surface.

It was the fish that slipped through the bottom of the water before.

I quickly pulled Su Huilin back, and unexpectedly, I was outflanked by the dream stealers chasing after me.

"Dare to chase after me, does it mean that you are not afraid of being swallowed by the black mist?"

Scanning the enveloping Dream Thief, I slowly put my hands on my chest, pretending to do the same movements I used every time I used the imaginary clock.

"It's useless to bluff. If you can use that trick, you don't need to run, right?"

It was the result I expected that the other party saw through my deception, but the Dark Knight should take advantage of this opportunity to call out the four-sided barrier, but there was no response for a long time.

Sure enough, he couldn't attack his "old friend"?

I squeezed Su Erin's little hand tightly, turned around and looked directly at the "Light Speed ​​Star" blocking us.
