Chapter 188 Hypocritical Death (Happy New Year Everyone)
"I don't really like people making deals with me."
Fei Lun waved his hand, then took out a cigarette from his arms and put it in his mouth.
"But...it's okay to listen to it."
"Of course, but before that... I would like to invite everyone to go to the City of Dreams and see for yourself..."
As the sound sounded again, soon, beams of light descended from the sky, enveloping everyone.The invisible weightlessness came, just for a moment, and the next moment, Fei Lun felt his feet landed on the soft grass.He opened his eyes and looked in front of him. Then, Fei Lun frowned involuntarily.
What he saw in front of him was a not-so-big stone church. On both sides of the church, people could be seen coming and going. They were wearing cloth and robes similar to those of the Middle Ages. Not far away, several people could be seen. A monk-looking man was talking there.The church in front of him didn't look that big, but it gave Fei Lun a very familiar feeling, with white wall bricks, a red round roof, and... the blue flag fluttering in the wind.
"I finally understand why you didn't use World of Warcraft as the test background."
Looking at the North County Abbey in front of him, Phelan shrugged his shoulders involuntarily.
"I have to say that the aesthetics are not bad, although personally, I prefer Gilneas or Silvermoon City."
"This was my father's favorite game during his lifetime."
And at this moment, the voice sounded again.
"Under the leadership of my father, I have also played this game, so... I still have a deeper impression of it."
"So, this is the capital of dreams?"
"Yes."
Hearing Fei Lun's inquiry, the voice sighed faintly.
"This is the real capital of dreams, a world that only belongs to the dead in the gap between existence and reality and unreality. Everyone you see here is not the living, but the dead. Their souls It regains its physical body here, so it can survive forever."
"Really? But I think they had a lot of fun role-playing."
Looking at an old paladin not far away, Fei Lun couldn't help but whistled.I saw the old paladin saying something to the apprentice paladin beside him with a solemn expression.The trainee paladin in front of him listened to him respectfully, his devotion to faith and his conviction for the old paladin were almost clear at a glance.If this is a certain film studio, then Phelan really thinks that these two must be stars with excellent acting skills-you can see how deep the drama is.
"of course."
To this, the owner of City of Dreams quickly responded.
"Because anyone who enters the city of dreams will have their memories erased, and then new memories will be reimplanted to start living here."
"... Very good and powerful, I finally understand why the infiltration of all forces ended in failure."
Hearing this, Phelan nodded involuntarily.As he said, he now finally understands why the owner of the Dream City has been able to control the Dream City, but has not encountered any resistance.People like to cuddle together, especially in the wasteland. If those people didn't want to gain satisfaction by conquering the world after entering the Dream City, it is absolutely impossible.
Take the Black Hawks as an example, even if they knew they were dead, they would never go back.But it's not difficult to form another Black Hawk regiment here, and then compete with the owner of the capital of dreams, isn't it?But why do so many people come in, but obediently obey the orders of the Dream City?As the saying goes, Baonuansi* is based on the internal conditions of the capital of dreams, so these people haven't set their minds on conquering the world long ago?
And now, Faerun's question has finally been answered.Any soul memory that enters the Dream City will be reset and then re-implanted... In this way, it is of course impossible for them to resist the Dream City.Because in their memory, they will think that they are born to be a member of this place, and live here until they die.just like………
"Hello, traveler, are you going to Stormwind City?"
The red rose wearing a priest's robe appeared in front of him, and watched curiously with a smile on her face. At this moment, the woman had completely lost the toughness and coldness she had before, but showed what a priest should have. tenderness.Glancing at the red rose, Fei Lun smiled slightly.
"Of course, I plan to take a boat north from Stormwind City to Draenor."
"Draenor?"
Hearing Fei Lun's answer, Red Rose was a little surprised.
"This is the first time I've heard of it... What is that place?"
"It's a frozen continent. It is said that there are many interesting things there, so I plan to go there and have a look."
"So this is ah…………"
Hearing this, Red Rose also showed a leisurely and fascinated expression, and then she looked at Fei Lun again.
"So, sorry, traveler, I have a letter here, can you please give it to my father? I have something to do now, but I have to report to him..."
"Of course no problem."
After receiving the letter in Red Rose's hand, Fei Lun smiled slightly.
"It's an honor to serve you, miss. I wonder if I'm lucky enough to know your name?"
"of course."
Red Rose nodded immediately, and then she bowed to Fei Lun before she spoke solemnly.
"My name is Sally, Sally Whitemane. Please also give this letter to my father, Alexandros Mograine. He is a paladin. As long as you go to Stormwind City, tell the guards Show this letter, and they will take you to my father."
"Ok."
Squeezing the letter in his hand, Fei Lun put it away with his backhand.
"I will pass it on to your father."
"Thank you, traveler. Then, I still have something to do, please forgive me and take a step first."
Seeing Fei Lun put away the letter, Red Rose also showed a happy smile, then she turned around and trotted away.Looking at the back of the red rose, Fei Lun shrugged his shoulders.Then he turned his head and looked at Delin and Franka beside him.
"That woman has completely forgotten her master."
Franka also saw this scene, and naturally widened her eyes curiously, and said.Delin next to him looked at Fei Lun and smiled slightly.
"How does it feel to be ignored by women, Master?"
"Very average, nothing special to care about."
"So, do we still need to go on?"
"Of course."
Phelan understood what Delin was referring to, so he nodded quickly.
"You have to remember, Delin. I am a good person. The so-called good person must keep our promises. Whether the other party is dead or alive, we must do our best to fulfill our promises. Only in this way can we be worthy of God, Be worthy, be worthy of yourself. We promise, and then fulfill it, this is what a human being should do! I have no shame in my heart!"
"That's really good. It would be even better if there is no selfishness of your master in it."
"Human beings can only move forward by relying on desire. If there is no desire, then there is no meaning for us to live."
While speaking, Fei Lun raised his head and glanced at the sky.
"Okay, let's go."
The distance from Northshire Abbey to Stormwind City is neither too long nor too short.And just as the three of them were walking along the country lane, the voice sounded again.
"I was at my father's side when the cataclysm started. In fact, I can't remember what happened, I just remember the screams, the earth falling apart, the flames like the end of the world, and the pain I will never forget... ..."
Fei Lun didn't speak, just listened quietly.He believed that it was impossible for this voice to draw him in nostalgically, and what it said was obviously related to the "deal" it wanted to propose.
"When I woke up again, I found that everything around me was in ruins. My father and everyone else I knew were dead. At that time, all I could do was helpless calls and prayers. But It was useless. But soon, I discovered that a glowing beam of light with strange characters appeared in front of me, and then... everything changed."
"You are really lucky."
Hearing this, Phelan couldn't help sighing.During the catastrophe, the people in the ruins of the city died the most and were the worst.But someone as lucky as the owner of the City of Dreams is so lucky.The node authority of a city can bring powerful power, the bigger the city, the higher the node authority level.Although Fei Lun can't see what the node authority level is in the Dream City, but there must be more than five levels, and the owner here can actually obtain the control right of a node immediately after the catastrophe comes, that is simply heaven. Pie off.
That's basically the odds of buying a lottery ticket for five bucks at the curb and ending up with a billion-dollar jackpot.
"I don't think I'm very lucky... After so many years, I've figured out many things. To be honest, I don't know myself. It's better to live like this, or to die in the catastrophe."
"A lot of people have the same problem."
The gate of Stormwind City was already in sight. Seeing the appearance of Faerun and his party, soldiers immediately came forward to ask their identities.Fei Lun took out the letter and stuffed it into the soldier's hand.
"Believe me, after the cataclysm, there are countless people who feel that it is better to die than to live. Some people have lost their children, some have turned against their friends, and some have had to violate their beliefs in order to survive. And morality... Well, this is a normal phenomenon, just like people will inevitably have pimples, in fact, it is not a big deal. But after a while, you should live, you still have to live... Isn't it?"
"…………"
This time, the voice didn't speak for a long time, and Phelan didn't say anything more. He just followed the guards into Stormwind City boredly, and then saw the Lord Knight, then handed over the letter to him, and got a six-compartment backpack. As a reward... I have to say, this paladin is really stingy enough.
After secretly slandering, Fei Lun turned around and left with his backpack without saying a word, but just as he was about to leave, suddenly, the voice sounded again.
"So, I'm like this...do I still live?"
Accompanied by this voice, strands of gleams of light appeared in front of Fei Lun, and then these gleams gradually took shape, and soon, a girl who looked about the same age as Franka appeared in the In front of Phelan.She looks very similar to the ghost in World of Warcraft, if anything, then this "ghost", with a little more popularity.
"This is not my image in the game, but my form in reality. I don't understand, I feel like I'm dead, I saw my dead body with my own eyes, and I can feel my heart stop I'm dead, but I'm not going to heaven or hell, I'm just here, year after year, day after day..."
"I see."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Fei Lun was not surprised at all.Thinking about it carefully, the city of dreams has always been closed to the outside world, and there has never been any trade. How could ordinary living people persist here for so long?Even if you don’t have to worry about food and drink, what about diseases?What about accidental injuries?It has been many years since the catastrophe happened. Look at the old man in District [-]. He was still full of vigor back then, but now he is thinking about finding a grave for himself.
But a ghost naturally doesn't need to consider these issues.
Especially considering the special ability of the city node of Dream City, Fei Lun very much doubts whether the materialization of the girl's soul will be shaped by the influence of the energy of the node --- this is not surprising. When it is a node, there is also a monster that is affected by the energy of the node and changes, and can even cut space.
Compared with it, Fei Lun felt that the ghost in front of him was much more normal.
"Aren't you surprised?"
Seeing Fei Lun's indifferent expression, the ghost girl became depressed instead.Delin and Franka didn't respond, she could understand, after all, the group of angels and demons who came here were like this.But Fei Lun should be a human being. In fact, she had already thought about how Fei Lun would react when she appeared.May be nervous, may be afraid, may be wary.But I didn't expect that the "big brother" in front of me just looked at her so calmly, as if he saw an ordinary person on the side of the road.
This instead hit the ghost girl.
"Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. If you are like me and have walked a lot in the wasteland, you will find that all kinds of weird things will happen here. One more you is not too much, and one less you is a lot." .So..." As he spoke, Faerun spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders. "... To put it bluntly, it's not a big deal. So, what do you want me to do? It shouldn't be such a boring thing as asking me to kill you with my own hands."
"of course not."
Hearing Fei Lun's inquiry, the ghost girl shook her head.
"I hope you can take me out of here."
"………leave here?"
"Yes, I want to leave. In fact, in a previous test, I overheard someone say that in the distance, there is a strange gathering place. The people living in it are not human beings, but A ghost like me, so I want to leave here and see the situation there with my own eyes... I want to know what I am, but it is very irresponsible and unwise for me to leave here alone. Therefore, I have been looking for someone who can take me out of here...and now, I have found you."
"I?"
"That's right, you are the first person who can escape from the test. You can leave here, and judging by your appearance, you don't have any nostalgia for this place. Your wish is for me to open the city gate and pass through here." Well, then I hope you can take me away together... In return, I promise to become a part of your team and fight side by side with you."
"…………"
Hearing this, Fei Lun did not answer immediately. On the contrary, he narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the ghost girl in front of him.
Judging from the appearance, the ghost girl should be about the same age as Franka when she died, about eleven or two years old.But Fei Lun didn't believe that she really only had the mind of eleven or two years old.After all, people change, and let's not say that this girl has been running a gathering place for so many years.Among other things, just digging pits step by step from the beginning of the test of the Dream City to the end, it is definitely not done by those innocent and kind girls.Therefore, if you are deceived by her appearance, you will suffer a lot.
"Then what about the City of Dreams?"
"I will entrust those familiars to take care of it. Originally, they were responsible for the management here. After all, I also made a deal with them at the beginning......"
"Allow them to choose this place as their nest?"
"…………"
The ghost girl didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Besides, after my observation, I found that you and these two... Miss Shimo get along very well. I don't think you will treat me special because of my identity."
Hearing this, Fei Lun was silent for a moment, then he carefully looked at the ghost girl, and then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Well... If you were a man, then I would fight you hard right now, but... Although I know you are not that simple, I have to admit that your appearance is really to my liking. Beauty, I have always refused anyone who came, and the more the better. Since you are willing...then, of course I welcome it."
As he spoke, Fei Lun stretched out his right hand.
"The transaction is established."
PS: I wish you all a happy new year and good luck, I am here to extend my claws to everyone~~
