Volume 4: No One Survives in Fantasy High School Chapter 22 Welcoming
"You...seem to have changed a little..."
"Huh? What's wrong with me?"
After going through the ritual again and returning to the nightmare world, Li Lin looked at the thorn bush that was still rolling obediently in front of the teaching building and said with a smile.
"You seem to have become even more...inexplicable..."
It's hard to put into words...
Although the thorn bush has intelligence, its intellectual ability is obviously problematic, and it seems that it cannot come up with any precise logical words or sentences.
It was blocking the front of the teaching building and rolling continuously. The thorns and flesh were crushing and making strange noises, as if this guy was thinking.
"You have become clearer... Originally, your reflection in the nightmare was hazy and blurred... Everything about you is uncertain... Because you are a mortal... And now you have gradually revealed your true appearance... You are sacred... But at the same time, you are also destructive... You are different from us... I am very curious about what path you have taken... This may be what I need..."
"I'm sure you don't want this. First you have to face what you're afraid of. Do you have anything you're afraid of?"
"I have no idea……"
"Then isolate you from any contact with the outside world... Well, considering your age, maybe it will be thousands of years? Once such a period of time passes, you will know what fear is."
“…I think that’s called despair.”
"Haha, well said."
The figure in white in the nightmare laughed and said.
When fear is not formed, it will plunder other people's thoughts and turn into fear, but when fear is formed, the spirit will also change. Although it is still the same person in terms of fluctuations, the posture presented is completely different.
Most people are afraid of blood and flesh, because intelligent creatures themselves advocate kindness and order. It is better to say that it is because the nightmare world is so ugly that it shows how much intelligent life loves order. So when Li Lin, wearing a white robe, a crown on his head, a quiver on his waist, and a golden bow on his back, appeared in front of the thorn bush, it even thought that something was wrong. Is there really an intelligent life that is afraid of a brilliant posture? Or is it a fear from the heart?
However, the advantage of plants is that they don't have to think about so many things. Although they won't evolve to any extent, they won't collapse to any extent either. Looking at Li Lin, who was surrounded by a sacred light but also had a vague sign of destruction, the flesh and blood thorns rolled over and soon gave up thinking about Li Lin's posture and turned to another question.
"Big Head Huck... He's very scared now..."
The thorn growled and grumbled:
"He thinks everything is the result of his own mistakes... He thinks you have been expelled from the nightmare... He thinks everything is a manifestation of disaster... So now he is hurting himself to express his holiness... But I think it's useless..."
"It is indeed useless. The purpose of blood sacrifice is to directly devour living things for sublimation. If he mutilates and devours himself, there is no other use except to become a monster. There are things like food sacrifice in the East, but if there is none here, he will be in big trouble. Please help me pass on the message. I actually have nothing to do."
"Tell him...won't you go see him..."
"What's the point of me going? It will only scare him more, and I still need to look up some information."
"Is that so..."
"Goodbye, then."
"goodbye……"
The thorn bush grunted and the rolling body made way for a narrow passage.
Li Lin's body passed through the passage, leaving marks of defeat on the road he walked on. Countless maggots and blood spread around the footprints, as if crushing out the essence of the earth.
Moreover, it was completely different from the originally highly aggressive black fog. Around the white light that was lingering around him, the darkness and phantoms were growing madly. Some of the originally fragmented thoughts quickly grew into heads, lingering around him, constantly narrating something strange, and then turned into light smoke.
"...It's still the same as us...just a different face."
After taking a look at the traces of corruption imprinted around Li Lin's footprints, the thorn bush muttered something and rolled towards the square where Big Head Hake was.
It had to convey Li Lin's consolation so that the unfortunate giant would stop torturing himself. Although the death of a nightmare creature could reduce the burden and pressure of the surrounding world, the plant brain of the thorn bush did not want to think so much. He just wanted what belonged to him. It was not demanding.
"So we're going this way..."
Bidding farewell to the rolling thorn bushes, Li Lin identified the direction in the nightmare world and walked towards the library.
The poisonous creatures and monsters around him no longer avoided him, but followed him, as if they had encountered some extremely familiar creatures. Countless poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions followed the man in white, as vast as the ocean.
Occasionally, some twisted poisonous insects shuttled through the ground, and the loose soil under his footsteps was filled with a whole circle of maggots and strange sticky substances. Although the core was surrounded by holy light and hymns, the surroundings made these monsters extremely happy. This strange and creeping march was silent, quietly following behind the man in white, devouring and killing everything along the way.
By the time they arrived in front of the library, the poisonous creatures behind him had become larger and more terrifying . Hundreds of twisted eyeballs stared at the building in front of the man in white, as if a single order would turn them into an army and destroy everything in front of them. The old building seemed to be frightened after seeing such a formation. The strange-looking library stood there for a while, and a sigh came from inside.
"I'm a little weak, so I'll ask those things behind you to disperse..."
“…”
The monsters behind the man in white collapsed and disintegrated in the blink of an eye like melting snowflakes, turning into countless mosquitoes and flying away.
At almost the same time, the door of the library slowly opened to both sides, revealing the core inside. Li Lin smiled slightly and walked in without any concern.
