Frankly speaking, Lucretia's mind was blank at this moment - - blank for nearly two or three seconds before she regained her ability to think and realized what was happening before her.
Falling into a nightmare contaminated and corroded by the Sun's children. What's more terrifying is that in the depths of this nightmare, he suddenly sees his father who has returned from subspace. What's even more terrifying is that the sickle in his hand is slashing at his father's neck. .
Now, this scythe has lost its control. The green fire is burning on its pitch-black blade and handle. It is as if it has entered another dimension and can no longer be controlled by itself. Lucretia is stiff and trying to hold on in vain. Holding the sickle in his hand, he held it in for a long time before saying: "You...the sickle in your hand is so unique"
[Do you always act like this when you are nervous?] Duncan finally let go of his hand, and the green flames dissipated.
【What's going on here?】
As the flames subsided, Lucrecia finally felt that the scythe condensed by the power of dreams and curses was back in her hands. She hurriedly grabbed it and took a half step back, ready to answer her father's question, and then For a second, a sense of crisis suddenly struck from close by.
The [Inferior Organisms] of the Sun's descendants finally reacted, and they obviously would not give themselves the chance to talk about home affairs in peace. With the flickering light and shadow in the sun, several shadows swooped behind Lucretia, almost Without a chance to think, Lucretia turned around suddenly, and the scythe in her hand turned into a whip wrapped with thorns. However, just when she was about to throw out the whip, the shadows rushed towards her. But suddenly they stopped in mid-air and appeared, as if they had lost their source of power, they fell to the ground and struggled violently.
At the same time, Heidi, who was controlling several clones to barely support herself, suddenly felt the pressure around her lighten.
She transferred [self] from one dying personification to another in good condition, and then watched in shock as the black-clothed figures around her fell down one by one, like fish being grilled by Lie You. , struggling hard on the ground.
The depths of their black coats of unknown material continued to swell and squirm, and those horrific limbs began to rot and decompose rapidly, accompanied by disgusting sounds, terrible stench, and filthy pus and blood gradually spreading from their bodies. Come on.
Even as a professionally trained psychiatrist, Heidi couldn't help but take two steps back when faced with this scene. Then she seemed to notice something and subconsciously raised her head to look at the sky - but in the The moment she raised her head, she controlled her impulse again.
The terrifying experience of seeing the [Children of the Sun] when she looked up was still deeply imprinted in her mind, making her afraid to verify her guess.
At this moment, she heard the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of Lucretia say to herself: "It doesn't matter, the sky is safe." 】
For some reason, this sentence seemed to carry some kind of powerful power. Even though there was no reason, Heidi's mind instantly thought -
A strong impression: the sky is safe.
She slowly raised her head and looked at the [sun] hanging high in the sky, glowing with heat.
That [thing] is still floating quietly above the forest. Countless twisted and tangled tentacles and pale eyes are piled up like random and growing meatballs. The light is like a blazing flame. On the surface of this horrifically deformed [meatball] Rising and burning---yet in the depths of the flame, a touch of green spreads and quickly covers the entire surface of the entity.
The moment she saw those twisted tentacles and pale eyes, Heidi could not help but feel a touch of fear in her heart. However, she soon realized that her mind had not been affected by this [witness]. to erosion.
The pollution of the [Children of the Sun] seems to have been blocked by the spreading green fire, or... it has been corroded and assimilated by the latter, making it harmless.
The dying struggles and roars of the [Inferior Organisms] tortured Lucretia's eardrums. Those black-clothed human-like and inhuman things were dying quickly in the alienated sunlight, as if they were dissolving in strong acid. She was confused. Looking at this scene, he turned to look at Duncan: "What's going on?" 】
[I polluted their temporary sun. Now, this sunlight is 'poisonous' to them.] This is the experience I learned from Pland's 'Black Sun Incident'. These 'residues' can only Survive under specific [sunlight.]
Duncan said calmly, then raised his head and stared at the twisted existence still floating quietly above the forest.
He thought of the [Black Sun] he had glimpsed through the [Golden Mask] before, and thought of the pale ancient god who was dying under the burning of the crown. However, compared with the [Black Sun] he saw originally, it was higher at this moment. The thing hanging over this dream world is obviously much smaller and much weaker.
So...it seems that this is the [Son of the Sun] that those crazy believers call him.
Now, this descendant of the sun is quickly being swallowed up by the polluted flames, and the light and heat it emits is being converted into things that are enough to incinerate itself. However, this weird and terrifying [creature] does not show any painful reaction. It is still It just hung in the sky quietly and silently, as if there was no pain or fear at all.
Simply radiating heat, like a real sun.
However, when Duncan looked at its pale eyes, he always felt that this thing actually had a thought - it was thinking, it was observing, it had a purpose, and it had reason. It was not like the dying black sun that just wanted to extinguish itself. , unlike those crazy cultists who only want to destroy the entire world.
What is this [creature] thinking about right now?
[What are you thinking about?] Duncan couldn't help but ask in his mind.
[Can I go back? 】Deep in the vague lake information sent back by the ghost flames, he heard a voice that sounded calm and gentle, "There is nothing here that I am looking for." 】
Duncan's eyes widened slightly for a moment.
However, the next moment, just when he wanted to establish more communication with this [son of the sun], an illusory roar suddenly came from the sky, and then the burning flame suddenly shrank as if it was collapsing inward. It became a small dot, and the next moment, the ghost flames that lost their target suddenly scattered in all directions.
The [False Sun] overlooking the forest disappeared.
A dim and slightly red sky light replaced the [sunny] sky just a moment ago, and the entire forest fell into a dusk-like atmosphere.
Lucretia's surprised voice came from the side: [You destroyed it? 】
[No,] Duncan shook his head slightly and said the information he had sensed just now, [It left. That was not its true body, but just a projection formed by a descendant of the sun in a dream, just like a Tao. The tentacles used for perception, now it withdrew those tentacles from the dream. 】
Lucretia nodded thoughtfully, but soon she suddenly discovered something else: [Wait, where was the Annihilation cultist just now? 】
[He ran away,] Duncan said casually, [When those 'inferior organisms' died, he continued to reduce his sense of existence, and then when the false sun in the sky collapsed and faded, he took advantage of the chaos and ran away. 】
Upon hearing this, Lucretia immediately frowned and subconsciously looked around the forest that had fallen into a dusk-like sky: [Damn it... I was also diverted... I should have left a curse on him... ··】
[It doesn't matter,] Duncan just waved his hand, [Let him run first - okay. 】
Hearing this, Lucretia frowned slightly and raised her head to look at Duncan: [You... let him go on purpose? 】
Duncan did not answer her directly, but squinted his eyes slightly, as if sensing something, and then smiled and shook his head.
He has seen me anyway.
Then he didn't pay attention to Lucretia's expression that changed instantly, but turned to look at Heidi who was standing anxiously more than ten meters away, trying hard to reduce her presence.
He came in front of the psychiatrist—strictly speaking, in front of a large group of Heidis—and first checked the other person's status.
There were about seven or eight Heidis with large and small injuries on their bodies. Among them, three Heidis were extremely seriously injured and were flopping on the ground like dying fish. Their personality parts had obviously been evacuated, leaving only some conditions-based parts. Reflexive death convulsions, and the two Heidis seemed to be in good condition, one of them stood there with a dull expression, and the other nervously avoided Duncan's gaze.
Duncan glanced at the [—large group of Heidi] in front of him expressionlessly, and sighed in his heart—the way of psychiatrists in this world is really wild, and the schizophrenia is actually more schizophrenic than schizophrenia, and then he went straight past the normal [Heidi], with a nervous face and evasive eyes, came to the psychiatrist with a dull expression.
【Are you okay? 】
The dull-looking [Personality] was suddenly startled, and a vivid expression suddenly appeared on his face: [How do you know? 】 She has now of course guessed who this tall and majestic person who brings endless pressure is in front of her. She is already extremely nervous. She originally thought of using her personification to cover it up to avoid facing this terrifying subspace shadow. 】 Communication, but I didn’t expect that not even a second passed.
[You will use your personality clone to protect yourself when you are nervous,] Duncan said with a smile and a friendly attitude, [Of course, I didn't expect your 'personality clone' to be so... powerful, now I'm impressed. 】
[Sometimes... patients with schizophrenia are more difficult to deal with, and they can't beat them if they have too few points...] Heidi explained subconsciously, but then she reacted, [Wait, how did you know... ··】
Duncan smiled and raised his hand to point to the amethyst pendant on Heidi's chest [Strictly speaking, this pendant was given to you by me...]
