Chapter 186 The Void Beyond Dreams

Chapter 186 The Void Beyond Dreams

After below or below.

Behind this door is a wider and deeper place.

However, this is probably the end, the deepest part of Hallownest.

Ahead was an abyss that was even deeper than the one before, with stones that could be used as stepping stones floating in the air in a disorderly manner.

The little knight didn't hesitate and jumped down.

Wan Yi followed and started another journey of whereabouts.

As the height dropped, the surrounding scenery gradually lost its color. The chaotic and dark environment made Wan Yi lose his sense of space for a short time. When he reacted, he couldn't remember how long he had fallen.

But finally, the descent came to an end, and Wan Yi saw the scenery below.

If you want to use the simplest words to describe the scenery in front of you, that is: a pile of corpses.

Just like when Wan Yi first came to this boundary space and time, countless insect corpses piled up to become everything in this scene.

The difference from the Hill of Corpses is that these colorless corpses are all very similar to the Little Knight.

The discolored and broken masks are piled up here, which makes one shudder at a glance, and at the same time, one can feel an unknown sadness.

Wan Yi and the little knight walked among the corpses.

Uh-huh!

A black particle floating in the air suddenly enlarged and turned into something like a black ghost, floating towards Wan Yi and the little knight.

It was completely black, with only the cracks on its body and its round eyes glowing white.

There is no joy or sorrow, only greed and hatred for existence.

If you compare it, you will find that its head is quite similar to the broken corpse masks around it.

This is not the only one. Around the Knight and Wan Yi, more particles expand to form such shadows.

The Little Knight and Wan Yi realized something was wrong and quickly started running away.

Fortunately, these things floated very slowly, and were immediately left behind by the two.

But if you are accidentally surrounded by them, it will feel very troublesome.

Suddenly, the corpse in front of him collapsed when the two arrived, revealing a deep passage.

The little knight jumped directly into it, and Wan Yi followed suit. It's very narrow here, and Wan Yi and Little Knight, two little men with two heads, had to be squeezed together in some narrow places.

But they didn't stop because of this.

As long as the two pass by, the seemingly harmless black particles around them, as if they are just background plates, will suddenly expand and become shadows chasing them.

The two were parkouring all the way in the passage, and finally their eyes suddenly became clear.

What appears in front of you is a "coast".

There is a dark "ocean" in front of you, and a huge lighthouse stands on the coast.

There was no ripple in the pitch-black sea, but Wan Yi couldn't help but feel suffocated when he looked at the sea.

Use the soul-eating wand to sense, and you can't feel a trace of soul power around you except yourself.

And if he concentrates his attention and perceives it carefully, a huge will will emerge from the dark sea, as if it wants to swallow him directly.

The stuff here is just...

Just as he was thinking about it, the little knight released a soul spell on the sea in front of him.

As soon as the soul spell approached the sea, the originally calm sea suddenly revealed its ferocious side.

The "sea water" turned into tentacles and sharp claws and directly grabbed the soul spell, crushing it instantly, and in the process there were constant howls like beasts.

It wasn't until the soul power was scattered and swallowed up by their blackness that the sea surface returned to calm.

Wan Yi and the little knight were silent for a while: "Are we going to fly over?"

There is a tunnel on the other side of the sea, and that is where the little knight wants to go.

But part of that tunnel is immersed in the sea. Even if they fly through, the ocean will catch them and tear them apart.

Then, Wan Yi and the Knight looked up at the lighthouse in unison.

The Knight and Wan Yi climbed up to the lighthouse.

This lighthouse seems to have been abandoned for a long time. Some of the passages have been disconnected, and you can only climb normally by relying on the floating rocks around it.

And there are other shadows forming and approaching halfway.

Wan Yi and the little knight fought their way through and reached the top of the lighthouse.

The little knight stopped at the door of the lighthouse room, took a stance, and the shadows surrounded him.

Wan Yi rushed into the room without looking back.

His eyes quickly swept across the room.

A small room, a huge lamp and a turned off activation mechanism. Next to it was the corpse of a bug. It was rare that it was not the white mask of the Little Knight, but a silver-white beetle.

This beetle was completely dead with black liquid flowing all over it.

It appears to have been the original lighthouse keeper.

Wan Yi grabbed the mechanism and activated it directly.

Brag!

As if the day illuminated the night, fierce light shone out instantly.

The little knight outside was dealing with the shadows. After the light appeared, the shadows turned directly back into black spheres and then shrunk into black particles floating quietly.

Wan Yi came out and looked at each other with the little knight.

The two returned to the seaside below and tried again.

I found that under the light, this black sea was quite peaceful, without any restlessness.

Wan Yi separated his clone and stayed in place, and then he and the little knight stepped on the water and began to cross the sea.

Nothing happened along the way, and the two went deep into the tunnel together.

Although in the last section of the journey, because the light of the lighthouse could no longer shine, the "sea water" there became restless again. Because the range was not large, Wan Yi and the little knight easily bypassed it.

After passing through a short tunnel, Wan Yi and the little knight saw a huge black "ball".

One side of the ball was broken open, and the sharp tear looked like a bloody mouth.

The little knight came to the front of the ball, and the ball with unknown texture but rough surface actually reflected the little knight's figure clearly.

Wan Yi probed his head.

Then he was surprised to find that he was also reflected.

"What is this?"

The little knight reached out and took out a "sword hilt".

There is only a handle, which looks like a small toy, but has the pattern of a dream flower on it.

The power was stimulated, and white light emitted from the hilt of the sword, condensing into a sword body without a fixed shape.

The little knight swung his sword directly at the black ball in front of him.

Ding!

There was a clear and ethereal echo, white light flashed in front of Wan Yi and the little knight, and the little knight fell to the ground.

Wan Yizheng was about to say something when the scene in front of him was spinning and he fell to the ground.

"What does it have to do with me?"

"The body has been infected?!"

"It's so damn good!"

Wan Yi closed his eyes as they celebrated together in his mind.

Go to the theater!

He opened the theater door and walked in.

Suck...

Then I heard what sounded like someone whispering.

Wan Yi looked towards the auditorium and saw Luo Xi and Fu Kong. The two were sitting on their seats with their legs spread apart and their bodies leaning forward. They were holding a bowl of noodles in their hands and making noodles together.

"What are you two doing?"

"Eat noodle."

"No, why are you eating noodles here?"

"Fukong told me that I should eat more normal food, so he cooked noodles for me." Luo Xi raised his head and said, "It's really delicious. It's much more delicious than what I ate in the village before."

Wan Yi went up and took a look: "Isn't this clear soup noodles? It doesn't even include the vegetable leaves?"

Isn't it right? The food in the theater is so miserable?

So why not just create more fragrant and hearty noodles?

Just now Luo Xi said that Fu Kong cooked it. If you dare to love Fu Kong, you will do this!

Fu Kong looked over with cold eyes and said nothing, but those beautiful eyes told all his dissatisfaction.

"Captain, what's this above?" Luo Xi pointed to the stage in front of him with his chopsticks.

Fu Kong said: "Don't point at people with chopsticks. It's unhygienic and impolite."

"Oh." Luo Xi quickly put it down.

And Wan Yi also looked towards the stage.

This time it was even more outrageous than that time with Big Moth.

The entire stage was filled with dark liquid.

Wan Yi approached the stage.

The black liquid suddenly moved, and finally turned into a huge shape with eight sharp eyes emitting white light. The horns on its head were winding and bushy, and it looked ferocious.

The liquid condensed into tendrils on its body, and Wan Yi felt the eight eyes focus on him after scanning the environment.

"Why do you want to drag me into a deep dream again?" Wan Yi said speechlessly.

The opponent's tentacles tried to extend outside the stage, but like the giant moth, they were unable to leave the confines of the stage.

Excluding the element of joking, Wan Yi put his hands on his hips and looked at the existence in front of him.

"Who are you? You should have been with me since I entered this boundary time and space." Wan Yi said.

The eyes of the being in front of him flickered and he said nothing.

Do you think "cut scenes" are really just for atmosphere enhancement and beauty?

It’s not like I’m actually playing a game and downloading a dungeon.

When Wan Yi entered the boundary before, the dream flower pattern that appeared in front of him, and the constant abnormality, he realized that the nature of this boundary was not a "worm", but a "dream".

But when Wanyi's body entered, there was still one layer of things in the "cutscene" that had not been explained.

The darkness that finally saturated everything.

The other clones did not have this part when they entered, but Wan Yi did.

This is abnormal.

But other than that, there was no sign of this blackness appearing again.

But as he approached the black abyss outside, he gradually got the answer.

Wan Yi is not just a "cockroach".

If it were just an ordinary bug with the appearance of a "cockroach", then even if it had the blessing of many extraordinary powers, it would not be able to resist the black power originating from the bottom of Hallownest.

That is--

Void.

Opposed to the real "light", there are shadows of nothingness, dark beasts, and empty forms.

There is a void in his "cockroach" body.

And the initiator of all this is the most powerful advanced creature in Hallownest.

Facing Wan Yi's question, after the being in front of him fell silent, one of its tendrils stretched out, and a black badge appeared from it.

This badge is the image of a shadow, pitch black with deep stripes, with only two eyes showing bright white.

It seemed to want to hand this thing to Wan Yi.

But if Wan Yi doesn't pick it up, it won't be able to deliver it.

Luo Xi and Fu Kong looked at each other and chatted with each other. The originally atmospheric scene was ruined by the "sucking" sounds.

Fukong just said that it's impolite to point at people with chopsticks. Doesn't he know that it's also impolite to make noises while eating?

No, Wan Yi can guarantee that he did it on purpose.

Suddenly, Luo Xi raised his head and glanced at the black existence in front of him and said, "troupe leader, it wants to cooperate."

"Cooperation? Wait, why do you understand?" Wan Yi was confused about the content at first, but suddenly turned to the question of why Luo Xi could understand what the other party was saying.

"It should be the dual effects of fire and sea. Mr. Liang Rendao said that although my body is shackled, my consciousness is rising to a higher level, so I can hear some abnormal sounds." Luo Xi pointed to his ear and said .

Wan Yi nodded and looked at the existence in front of him again.

"Its existence is more special than ordinary higher creatures. It cannot even be called a creature. It has no dreams, only infinite emptiness. Therefore, normal existence cannot accept its nihilistic will and requires communication at a higher level. .”

Luo Xi looked at the void existence and said.

Wan Yi said: "What does it want?"

"It sees the power of the troupe leader, and hopes to use the troupe leader's power to immerse the dream into the void."

"If you are not a dream, that means you are not actually this thing with 'dream' as the main boundary... Void... Are you from next door?" Wan Yi asked the person in front of him.

The black line outside the "Zerg" boundary, codenamed "Void".

Matches performance.

"Yes, it exists outside of dreams. It wants to gain more power in the 'dream' world, so that it can help it unify the void."

"Then I refuse." Wan Yi turned away and said, "If you talk to me normally, you can talk about it. What does it mean to do things secretly?"

"It admits that it underestimated you, and now hopes to establish cooperation on an equal footing. It can grant the power of the void, or more assistance and gifts."

Hearing this, Wan Yi narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "What did you see in me?"

Faced with this question, Luo Xi said nothing. It seemed that the other party had not responded yet.

After a moment, Luo Xi frowned and said, "One you, thousands of you, endless you."

Fu Kong unconsciously stopped being embarrassed and watched this scene quietly.

Wan Yi thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and tapped it gently: "Leave the things, I will think about it for a while."

The opponent's eyes flashed with light, and then turned directly into a vortex. The black void liquid was sucked into the vortex, and finally condensed into a black particle and disappeared.

Leaving that black badge on the stage.

The theater returned to calm, and Wan Yi walked onto the stage, picked up the badge, and looked at it carefully.

Luo Xi finished translating and continued talking.

Wan Yi thought about it and came to the entrance of the theater: "If my dear friend comes up, please help me ask."

"Yeah." Fu Kong responded lightly.

Wan Yi left the theater.

Opening his eyes, Wan Yi found that it was not at the same place where he fell asleep, but on a high platform.

It is the entrance to this abyss.

He realized something and turned around to look.

A small figure who looked almost 90% similar to the Little Knight, except that the horns on his head were longer and sharper than the Little Knight's.

It follows a white figure.

The Pale King…

They seemed to be leaving this sad abyss.

Suddenly, a small black hand rested on the edge of the platform at the entrance, and the little knight's head poked out from below.

The Pale King left without looking back, and the figure who looked very similar to the little knight glanced back.

At this moment, it and the little knight seemed to be looking at each other.

But it still turned its head, ignored the little knight, and followed the footsteps of the Pale King.

The little knight's hand trembled slightly, and when he could no longer hold on and slipped away and fell, Wan Yi suddenly appeared and grabbed the little knight's hand.

The little knight's body trembled, as if he was surprised that Wan Yi would appear here.

The next moment, light filled their vision.

Wan Yi and the Little Knight woke up and found that the two of them were still lying in front of the black ball, but Wan Yi's hand was still holding the Little Knight's hand.

"How was this dream?" Wan Yi asked with a smile.

The little knight stared at Wan Yi for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.
