Uplifting Journey

Although Naga's appearance is more than two meters tall without a tail, there is definitely not so much space in his body to stuff such a huge lump of green matter.

Like the blue-and-white figure that instantly erased the alleyway, the green long rope that jumped from the pale banshee's body into Cheng Bin's body also had the unique texture of a stand-in. This weird parasitic presumably has something to do with its special ability.

After the green cable entered his body, Cheng Bin, who was as free as possible, felt an inexplicable force disturbing his spirit, and that force was trying to guide his spirit to run.

However, since this guiding method seems to be based on the design of ordinary humans, it has little effect on Cheng Bin, which makes him have to try to actively interpret and cooperate while maintaining a part of his mind.

Changes on the spiritual level are only instantaneous.

In the short time before the alleyway disappeared, Cheng Bin felt that the world in front of him suddenly "dimmed"——

As if reversing his previous process of adding detail to the world through observation and thinking, everything from the vast sky to the land full of buildings becomes blurred from the most subtle.

Color, sound, texture, weight. All the information channels that support the existence of things are completely distorted, and the lifelike illusory world degenerates from clear photos to distorted ink paintings to distorted mosaics in an instant.

As if detached from the canvas and arrived at another parallel level, Cheng Bin's body was not erased instantly like the alley, but overlapped with the distorted and fused buildings after the alley disappeared.

However, this overlapping scene is fading rapidly, and the blue and white humanoid double, together with the entire previous world, completely fades and disappears in Cheng Bin's senses.

What's more amazing is that after losing all external senses, what Cheng Bin sees is not the darkness in the normal world, but the pure white that melts everything. The appearance of the Naga he temporarily simulated is also in this pure white that erodes the senses slowly disappeared.

When the power to guide his spirit disappeared, Cheng Bin shook his body and came back to his senses——

At some point, he had already recovered the appearance of an ordinary youth when he first entered the world.

After bending over to sit up, Cheng Bin looked down at his hands thoughtfully, and then turned his gaze into the distance.

The place where he is currently is a small oasis in the desolate Gobi. In the distance, there are only a handful of plants dotted among the sandy gravel. The lower edge of the setting sun has already touched the distant horizon, and the dim red light is slanting towards the earth. , drawing countless long and narrow shadows on the undulating ground.

After looking at the sunset, which was almost indistinguishable from reality, Cheng Bin withdrew his gaze and looked to the side.

A crashed old-fashioned monoplane lay quietly in the grass next to it. The nose with the propeller and the lower fuselage were seriously damaged. Judging from the damage to the grass and land behind the tail, it should have gone through a lot of tossing crash landing.

In the open space without grass and trees next to the crashed plane, a simple bonfire was built between several big stones. Beside the bonfire, a green figure sat quietly on the stone with his knees propped up on one hand and a dry branch in the other. Fiddling with a bonfire.

A humanoid creature that is obviously a stand-in, with a few exoskeleton-like white hoops on its body, its transparent skin is filled with surging fluid, and the pale green light like a night pearl is constantly emitting from the fluid to the outside the body.

——Glowing cantaloupe. It's really vivid.

After staring at the stand-in for a while, Cheng Bin glanced sideways at a few empty sleeping bags with ashes beside the bonfire, then stood up and patted the ashes on his buttocks and back, walked slowly to the bonfire and chose a random one. Stone sat down.

After Cheng Bin sat down, the green avatar who seemed to be in a trance, his eyes still on the bonfire, came back to his senses, and turned his head slightly to look at Cheng Bin who stretched out his hand to warm the fire.

The green stand-in has no mouth, and the lower half of its face is completely covered by a closed white exoskeleton like a respirator, but this does not affect his speech. When Cheng Bin turned his eyes to meet him, a mature and gentle The man's voice came out of nowhere: "Even if I do something wrong, you can wake up immediately, should you say that you are 'Cheng Bin'?"

Sensing some unfriendly taste in the other party's words, Cheng Bin smiled: "It sounds like you know me very well, but I was brought here without knowing anything, can you introduce your situation and purpose?" ?"

"Unfortunately, based on the bad behavior of 'Cheng Bin' in the past, the rebel army has not yet reached an agreement on various issues about you." The green double shook his head slightly, and his tone was rather complicated, "I am also waiting for news. In fact, you'd better lie down for a while longer."

"Rebel Army?" Cheng Bin glanced sideways at the sun, which was gradually covered by the earth, and then turned back to stare at the green stand-in and asked, "An organization that resists the ruler of this virtual world? What happened in your world?"

The green stand-in turned his head and looked at Cheng Bin with crystal-like yellow eyes, which contained indescribable emotions.

Sorrow, hatred, grief, remorse... Intense and complex negative emotions are finally overwhelmed by deep water-like calm.

"Our world. My name is 'Green Emperor', or you can also call me 'Kakyoin Noraki' as a human being." The green double turned his head and lowered his gaze to the bonfire. "According to your habits, in the Other worlds should have collected information related to me, right?"

Cheng Bin nodded silently—Noriaki Kakyoin was mentioned in both the script information and the information collected in human society before.

He was one of the companions who died in the battle against Dior's forces when Joseph, Jotaro, and Polnareff crossed half the world to expedition to Egypt.

The actual time of this world, according to Cheng Bin's observation and estimation, should be similar to the world he stayed in before. It seems that the Kakyoin in this world survived the battle with Dior, but I don't know what happened to the other people. .

The Green Pope gave a brief account of his and his companions' battle experience against Dior. Judging from his brief narrative, the development of relevant events in the early days of this world is highly consistent with Cheng Bin's original world.

But after a brief description, it is a key event that affects the entire world.

"...During the trip to Egypt, we planned to take this plane to cross the Gobi." The green emperor looked back at the crashed plane among the broken vegetation, "but an enemy substitute envoy beyond our imagination got on the plane and directly That caused us to make an emergency landing here."

The green emperor who turned his head looked at Cheng Bin, and sighed in a low voice: "At that time, besides my companion, there was only one baby on the plane that we kindly took to see a doctor. Can you imagine? A baby less than one year old, but A stand-in messenger with mature thinking and terrible malice?

"That's an extremely terrifying genius. He has a substitute 'Reaper 13' who dominates the dream. When we fall into the dream without the protection of the substitute, we will become his toys without any resistance. In the dream In the Incarnation of Death 13, he is almost God

"What's even more terrifying is that all the injuries we suffer in the dream will be synchronized to the real body, and when we wake up, we will completely forget everything we encountered in the dream."

Recalling the struggling battle with no gunpowder smoke and almost no traces, the Green Pope sighed with lingering fear: "If it wasn't for my quick wit, I left a message in the dream by hurting the body, if it wasn't for luck, I found a substitute and brought it into the world." I am afraid that we will never have the chance to embark on the journey again.”

After the words were finished, the Green Pope was silent for a long time before continuing: "However, with the disappearance of the dream, except for me who brought the double into the dream, everyone else has forgotten the existence of the enemy, and that enemy is indeed In the end, I didn’t mention this to other people about a baby less than one year old, and I didn’t make up my mind to completely eliminate him, I just punished him with a small punishment.”

The emerald green fists clenched unconsciously, and the green emperor said with a trace of remorse: "But my mercy this time has brought endless troubles

"Everyone is dead. Joseph, Jotaro, Polnareff, Abdel, Izzy. Before the decisive battle with Dio, the comeback of Reaper 13 came like a nightmare."

Halfway through the sentence, the Green Pope couldn't continue—that real nightmare has always haunted his spirit, and just recalling that experience is a kind of torture.

Cheng Bin was silent - it is impossible for ordinary human beings to stay awake forever, even Jotaro, who is physically stronger than ordinary doubles, can't do it. A double who rules dreams is a deadly threat to any ordinary person.

Even considering the profound influence of the substitute on the growth process of the carrier, a mature substitute messenger less than one year old is an extremely terrifying existence, and to what extent such a substitute messenger will reach after having more time to grow, that is really a mystery. unimaginable.

After waiting in silence for a while, Cheng Bin asked the Green Emperor: "Everyone is dead. How did you survive?"

The Green Emperor gave a wry smile, he looked at his green arm, and then sighed: "I don't know if I'm still alive or not. Perhaps the reason why I survived in the first place was because Death 13 wanted to take revenge on me. Punish him."

Cheng Bin recalled the smiling Grim Reaper who covered the sky before, and judging by his attitude when he announced the mission, it was clear that the "glowing cantaloupe" green emperor was the main goal of the hunting festival, while Cheng Bin, who was more important in the reward level, was just incidental. It can be seen how deep the grievances between the two parties are.

Thinking of some details mentioned in the script, Cheng Bin asked curiously: "What did you do to him so-called punishment?"

The Green Pope pointed his head at the open space beside him, and said calmly: "When I was here, after I woke up from a dream, I forcibly fed him his own excrement in order to teach him a profound lesson."

Literally feed shit.

Cheng Bin coughed lightly and turned his eyes away - this is really a feud that is as deep as the sea, and don't blame others for pursuing revenge.

After experiencing so many tragedies, the Green Emperor looked back on this incident, and he couldn't feel even a sliver of happiness in his heart. He sighed again: "Perhaps it was because of that experience that Reaper 13 left a deep psychological shadow.

"In this world supported by countless human dreams, where countless subconscious minds and memories converge, this fragment of memory scene is also something that Reaper 13 subconsciously wants to avoid, so I will bring you here Here, here, too, it takes a lot of effort for the enemy to find and attack us."

The place where subconsciousness and memory meet together?

Cheng Bin chewed on the words of the green emperor, and then asked: "What happened after that? Reaper 13 is the ruler of this dream world, right? How did the world become like this step by step?"

The Green Emperor looked at Cheng Bin, and snorted in an unhappy tone: "This question, I have to ask you 'yourself'!"
