It was a very comfortable sleep. When Rhodes woke up again, he felt refreshed and energetic.
He was about to get up and continue studying the pistol when he suddenly heard a rustling sound at the door.
"Hey, are you okay? Let me take a look!"
"Go away, I didn't even see you!"
"Let me do it, you idiot..."
Rhodes frowned and walked gently to the door.
The door was suddenly opened, and Wayne and the green-haired man suddenly fell into pieces.
"Oh, oh? Ah, Rod, you got up so early. I couldn't get enough of my charcoal and dropped it on the floor. I was looking for it..."
Wayne explained hurriedly, fumbling around on the ground.
"I also dropped my charcoal..." Green Head explained while stroking Wayne's body.
"Take your hands off me!"
Rhodes looked at them expressionlessly.
Although their hands were groping around, their necks were stretched out to peer around the room.
"No one! Are you lying to me?"
"I'm not lying to you. I saw the team leader go into his room with my own eyes, and he still hadn't left until nightfall."
The two of them were touching each other and whispering in low voices.
"I was standing guard at the door in the morning. Did he fly away?"
"impossible……"
"bathroom!"
The two of them jumped up and shouted in unison: "I need to pee! I need to use the bathroom!"
Without waiting for consent, they squeezed past Rhodes and rushed in.
But the bathroom door was not closed, and it was empty inside.
"no one!"
"Impossible, did you leave in the middle of the night?"
"I don't believe it. How could you kick someone out while sleeping? You must be lying to me!"
"You're the one who lied!"
The two of them walked out of the toilet room while complaining to each other.
And Rhodes was already sitting at the table reassembling his spirit gun. Such boring gossip didn't deserve to take up half a second of his time.
"Huh? What is this?"
Rhodes replied briefly: "Spirit Spear."
"What?" Wayne turned his head in an instant, his eyes staring at the parts on the table like magnets.
The green-haired man asked curiously: "Where did you come from? Psychic firearms can't be fired by freshmen, right?"
"A gift from a friend."
"Wow, your friend is so generous." The green-haired man said enviously, "The cheapest spirit gun costs more than a thousand silver cords."
And Wayne was so envious that he almost drooled: "Whoever can give me a gun worth a thousand silver cords, I can do anything for him."
The green-haired man said with disdain: "That's all!"
Although he said this, he still sat down with Wayne, chatting and watching Rhodes assemble.
Time passed little by little, but Rhodes still failed. The complexity of this firearm was much higher than he thought, and it was different from physical firearms. There were many components that he didn't recognize, and he didn't dare to use brute force in case of damage. It would be difficult to handle.
The green-haired man looked at it for a while, then yawned out of boredom: "Let's go, let's go, this thing won't be ready for a few weeks."
Wayne's eyes flashed green: "Rod, can you let me try? I feel that the inner plug should not be placed here, it should be near the air return port."
Rhodes, who had been indifferent to his surroundings, suddenly raised his head: "Do you know about firearms?"
Wayne said with some embarrassment: "I have liked these construction machinery gadgets since I was a child, but my family is very poor and I can only play with scrap products, but I feel that their principles should be similar."
"Okay." Rhodes decided to believe him, "Try it."
"great!"
Wayne cheered, quickly took the parts from Rod's hand and started assembling them.
"Well... the butt of the gun should be under the piston, the recoil spring should be hung behind the spiritual pressure meter, here is the gas rod... here is the push trigger, um - the piston should be connected in the middle..."
Wayne's hands moved up and down flexibly, and after just a moment, a brand new Raven-style gun appeared in front of him.
The table was clean, not a single part was left.
"Haha, I succeeded!"
Wayne's expression looked even more satisfying than getting the gun, and Rhodes' next words made him want to kiss this good brother.
"Tear it apart and teach me again."
About an hour later, Rod finally learned how to assemble the gun under Wayne's guidance, and also learned how to load and unload bullets - he needed to take off the outer butt shell to extract the empty cartridge case and insert the new one. The bullet presses in.
Now, Rhodes only had one last thing left.
Buy bullets.
"Raven" used real silver bullets, and he had used up the previous seven rounds.
Taking into account sudden accidents and other situations, Rhodes thought that he should buy at least fifty rounds.
Fortunately, real silver bullets are not controlled items and can be purchased in many places inside and outside the academy. They are also a standing stock in the logistics office.
But unfortunately, it's not cheap, costing seven silver cords a shot.
Rhodes only had a total of forty-two silver cords on him, which was only enough to buy six rounds.
Six shots, if you shoot quickly, it will be finished in six seconds.
It's faster than ejaculating a man in seconds.
Of course this wouldn't work, but fortunately Green Hair had some skills and found an "acquaintance" to help him guarantee the loan of fifty hairs.
"I'm helping you because we are like-minded."
The green-haired man handed him two boxes of real silver bullets.
"I really don't know why you are so anxious to get so many bullets? I said don't mess around in the academy. Be careful of being caught by the defenders. It's not as simple as deducting credits. Weapons can only be used in the training ground. .”
"Also, next time I fall in love with the teacher, don't steal it. I haven't learned to use psychic powers yet. It's all because you stole the opportunity for me to blend in with Teacher Karaman's spirit."
He talked a lot and wanted to talk to him about a learning method called "Blending of Spirits", which is actually "voyeurism + obscenity".
But Rhodes had no time to pay attention to him, took the bullet and ran away, making the latter stomp his feet in anger.
"Forget it, this guy is so ruthless, Wayne, let's go to the Goblin Bar together."
The green-haired man turned his head and showed a slightly lewd smile.
"There are many beauties from Beast City today. Believe me, you will like them."
——
Rhodes ran back to the dormitory, sent the gun and bullets into the dream several times, and everything was ready.
After confirming for the last time that nothing was missing, Rhodes returned to the dreamland.
When he came to the back of the obelisk and touched the surface of the obelisk, the blood-red text appeared and flickered slightly.
"Two sunsets" has long become "one sunset".
Although Rhodes has never seen the sun since arriving in this world, people in this world still divide the day into morning hours, noon hours, evening hours, and night hours, and generally work and rest according to these times.
That proves that, at least once upon a time, there was a sun here.
It may or may not exist now, but no matter what, if we follow common sense, at this eve, the last sunset will end, and an unknown invasion will come.
Rhodes glanced at the pocket watch he brought here specially.
The time now is three o'clock and seven quarters past noon.
A day here is equal to four whole hours, one whole hour is equal to four clock hours, and one clock hour is equal to nine quarters.
According to this rule, Rhodes calculated in his mind and knew that it was approximately 5:40 pm Earth time.
Twenty minutes left.
Rhodes once again organized his supplies.
Elf grass juice, spirit tree dew, and red powder are all in his arms.
The "Raven" had been debugged a long time ago, and Rhodes fired a shot into the open space, proving that it could work normally in a dream.
After adding a round of real silver bullets and holding the butt of the gun in his right hand, Rhodes was ready to take action.
Twenty minutes passed in a blink of an eye, noon had passed, and evening had arrived.
The sun goes down.
Rhodes closed his pocket watch with a snap and tensed up.
However, nothing has changed.
The gray mist is still flowing slowly, and the pale land is still silent.
This color-faded dream is still the same.
Until Rhodes looked up and saw the infinite distance, the deep gray fog had been dyed black.
It spreads at a terrifying speed, just like the sunset on the horizon turns black, the quiet and mysterious atmosphere is broken, and the heart-stopping danger is quickly approaching.
On one side of the obelisk, even if Rhodes did not touch it, the bright red text still appeared, flashing rapidly, like a sign of the coming doomsday.
Rhodes' heart was in his throat, and he held the gun tightly in his right hand, his psychic energy ready to go off.
Suddenly, a huge monster stepped out of the black mist.
At this moment, all Rhode's fear, worry and timidity disappeared from the bottom of his heart, leaving only peace.
He skillfully evoked spiritual energy, tapped his brows, and opened the eyes of his soul.
The dream world has not changed, but the image of the monster has become clearer.
It is about five meters tall, covered with black fur, with huge claws and deformed legs. Its head is not visible, except for two glowing red eyes.
Rhodes had already raised his spiritual spear, and his spiritual energy gathered at an unprecedented speed, and his spiritual pressure meter soared into the sky.
The next moment, huge claws pierced his body and tore open his head.
Severe pain came from the depths of the soul, the world became twisted and broken, and darkness enveloped everything.
When Rhodes opened his eyes again, he had returned to the dormitory.
Neat bookshelves, mahogany wardrobes, beautiful and spacious desks, exquisite rooms, bright lights, and a faint fragrance floating in the air - this is the dragon's hand essential oil lit by the dormitory administrator in the corridor.
How is this going?
Rhodes was dazed for a moment, but then a tearing pain came from deep in his nerves, and he had a headache that was almost splitting.
Rhodes fell off the bed directly. The continuous severe pain made him almost unable to think, and only the instinct of rolling was left.
The bench was knocked over by him, the desk was knocked over by him, and a small cyan bag fell on his chest.
Rhodes's already scattered will suddenly found a starting point.
Kashan’s words yesterday came to mind:
"This is poisonous viola juice, used for pain relief. I heard that you guys..."
Pain relief!
Rhodes' broken mind only understood this one word.
He grabbed the small bag and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
The moment he bit it, poisonous pansy juice splashed out in his mouth, and a bitter and sour taste quickly climbed up along the nerves.
His sanity recovered from the sour taste, and the severe pain subsided in the sour taste. Finally, Rhodes became aware of the existence of thinking.
He knelt on the ground and gasped for air, feeling as if he had returned from hell.
When I stood up, I realized that my whole body was soaked. The tearing pain still continued, but it had dropped to a level that humans could bear.
Rhodes looked at his hands, which were empty.
Did I just die?
If I am killed in the dream, will I return to the material world?
The severe pain came continuously and rhythmically, but it could not hinder Rhodes' thinking.
He remembered it clearly.
This happened once before, when he first came to this world, his head had always been in such severe pain.
Later it was discovered that this was because the dark shadow of the [Prince of the North] was attacking the obelisk.
So, now that giant wolf-like monster is also attacking the obelisk?
If the obelisk is broken, am I really dead?
A strong chill rose from his back, and Rhodes knew that he had to return to the dreamland quickly.
Even if he is no match for that monster.
The severe pain at this time was much stronger than before. The obelisk might not be able to support it for too long. If he let it go, he would definitely die.
Rhode endured the pain, crossed his thumbs with both hands, and formed a lightning symbol.
My vision blurred for a moment, and my soul soared into the sky.
His vision quickly returned, and he found that he was exactly where he was just now, with the spirit gun, true silver bullets and red powder falling at his feet.
And the black monster is violently attacking the obelisk.
The cyan stone tablet is already covered with cracks and is crumbling.
The pain became clearer, and the poisonous pansy juice could no longer be suppressed. Rhodes quickly picked up the gun and drank the red powder. His soul became restless, and his spiritual power instantly rose.
boom!
A huge spiritual light flashed at the muzzle, and pure white rays shot out, hitting the monster like a laser.
Tiny stars scattered in all directions, but the monster was not damaged at all.
But in the next moment, golden light came out from the monster's chest, and the sharp blade of light pierced through the hit part, tearing it in half.
