Volume 4: No One Survives in Fantasy High School Chapter 12: Weird and Confused Dreams
"'We have been here for a long time... really a long, long time... and I have forgotten why we stayed here... but overall... life here is pretty good... so a few of us old guys have been stationed here..."
Li Lin didn't want to find out how the rolling thorns made the sound, just like he didn't want to find out how his misty body condensed into a solid entity.
Everything is possible in the dream world. Two things that are not human in form are walking or rolling on a road full of mud and blood. When Li Lin stepped on it, he thought it would be slippery and soft, but it was unexpectedly tight. The flesh and dirty water did not look soft, but had a metal-like touch.
This might be one of the unscientific aspects of dreams. In short, apart from being surprised at first , Li Lin didn't care about the electronic signals. He put his hands in his condensed pockets and followed the bloody thorns on the road.
"It looks like you and your companions are old residents here?"
Li Lin shrugged his shoulders after taking a look at the big tree on the hillside that was stretching lazily and then pulling down a bird chewing on it from mid-air, with only half of its flesh and blood remaining.
"You must have lived here for a long time, so you know what happened here. I came here to investigate because I received a mission. If there are any unique clues, I will be very happy."
"'If not... you'll destroy this place...?'"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"'It's okay... it's just a joke from the void...'"
Li Lin looked at the mass of bloody thorns and felt that it should want to shrug, but this body really couldn't make a human-like expression. After all, to distinguish facial expressions and body movements, you first need a face or limbs, but this rolling mass of thorns has nothing.
Although communication should not be a problem, sometimes it is very difficult to distinguish what is deliberate sarcasm and what is a white joke based on language alone without looking at facial expressions and actions.
And Thorn obviously considered this as well. After seeming to ponder for a moment, he turned to another direction.
"'Big Head Duke... maybe he knows more than me... and what he says is more accurate..."
The rumbling sound inside the surging flesh and blood sounded like a motorcycle.
"'But if there is any surprise... there is nothing special here... or maybe dreams are always like this... you know... this place is too close to reality... and not too far from the void... there will be some obsessive things coming to this world from both sides... this is also a great trouble for us..."
"'The spiritual energy released by the creatures here is our food intake... so we rarely do anything on purpose... you have to know... even rabbits won't eat the food next to their nests... although I don't know what this rabbit is like... but I think what you said makes sense... our food reserves are unlikely to disappear on their own... but many times they break in on their own... if there is an accident... it may be those creatures that break in..."
"'Sometimes it's the undead... sometimes it's elves... maybe there are other things... they often connect here when they dream... and they are very rude... well, very rude... when they see us, they always scream or chant some spells to attack us... it hurts... you have to know that respect is mutual... since you respect me... then I will respect you... so if they attack me, I will eat them... but some of my old friends have a bad temper... sometimes they will chat with you... but there will always be something that makes them unhappy... so they are eaten..."
"You sound like victims."
"'Yes... It's very annoying... I need the spirit they spread... But if the food wants to kill you... What will you do?... You can only kill the piglets that produce the food... Although I don't know what piglets are...'"
"Yes , that's true."
After hearing this, Li Lin also felt that these nightmare creatures were quite aggrieved.
He just stayed here and absorbed some of the spreading spirit, and then was inexplicably picked out and beaten like a boss. Although he looks a bit ugly, he is actually quite easy to talk to if you communicate well.
After all, these demons, ghosts, nightmare creatures and the like all use the souls and energy spread by intelligent creatures as their food and source of strength growth. Who would complain about having too little food? But in the same way, if someone hits you, you will certainly fight back. In this case, it seems that the so-called inside story of Gaode Middle School is not them.
"When I get out, I'll talk to the school's leaders about it, and ask them to stop being so aggressive."
"'Yes, yes... That's good... We don't want students coming here all the time... Because we all need food... It's better for me to eat static food in the dormitory... The old guys in other places are getting very irritable..."
"After all, everyone would be irritable if they were in a high-pressure environment for a long time."
Li Lin lowered his head to let a wailing human-headed bird pass by, and expressed his approval of the rolling flesh and blood thorns.
The academy in the nightmare seemed to be much larger than the normal academy. Li Lin walked for a long time and killed several flesh-and-blood monsters that were ready to attack him before he came to a large open space.
In a square full of skulls, a giant with a huge head on his head was chopping a piece of meat on the chopping board with a kitchen knife that looked at least four or five meters long. Blood splattered with dull sounds, and formed a pool of blood under the square of skulls. Many skeletons and pieces of meat moved and screamed in the pool of blood, which looked like a postmodern art style.
The moment Flesh and Thorn and Li Lin stepped into the square, the big-headed giant's ears moved and he turned around suddenly.
"Who?! Is there another new intruder who wants to give me a treat?!"
"Ah, no, I just came to ask a question. It brought me here."
Do you know what happened here?
Li Lin, who was covered in black mist, waved his hand, pointed at the flesh and blood still tumbling around him, and spoke calmly.
