Nobita slowly opened his eyes.
And for some reason, even when he opened his eyes, the last scene before he woke up still flashed in his mind.
In the picture, he stood in the middle of a large mass of dense corpses, his face covered with hideous bloodstains, holding two guns tightly in his hands, and then he closed his eyes, as if waiting for the arrival of some announcement.
He didn't know what that picture was, but he thought it was very subtle. There was both the emptiness and mistiness of the dream, and the pain and touch that penetrated into the bone marrow. For a moment, he couldn't tell which side was the real world.
"Well......"
After sitting up with his heavy head in his hand, Nobita subconsciously looked around, and then found Shizuka and others who were also sitting up with their heads in their hands.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but be a little confused. He tried hard to recall what happened before he fell into coma, but he couldn't remember anything.
It seemed that the other three were in a similar condition to him, with dull expressions and dull eyes, completely unaware of what was going on.
"You don't have much time left."
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in mid-air, and Nobita immediately recognized it as the voice of Black Ball.
Sure enough, as the voice fell, a black ball suddenly appeared directly above everyone.
At the same time, Nobita also discovered that the white space they were in at this time was the exclusive alien space of the black ball.
"Given the critical nature of the situation, I will temporarily disregard the confidentiality agreement and allow you to know and understand certain things."
"...What is this guy talking about?"
Fat Tiger was not fully awake at this time, and he was in a state of hearing the sounds from the outside world in one ear and out the other.
However, Black Ball's next words instantly penetrated his eardrums like a lightning strike.
"You're going to die soon."
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, but before anyone could react, Black Ball spoke again.
"To be precise, you will die in five minutes." Black Ball's emotionless voice echoed in the empty white space.
"Because the time limit that this space can carry you is less than five minutes."
Immediately afterwards, Black Ball briefly explained how he transferred the four people into its exclusive space at the critical moment when everyone was gradually eroded by negative emotions.
"At this point, the explanation of what follows will be very complicated, and I will not elaborate further here. But next, I will tell you the only way to break the current predicament, and you must listen carefully."
"Tsk, then you should tell me quickly!"
Although he still didn't understand the current situation and didn't know what the strange dream was before, when he thought about the less than five minutes in Hei Qiu's mouth, Fat Tiger became as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Afterwards, the others held their breath in unison and listened carefully to Black Ball's next words.
"I want you to understand quickly. There is one person I must mention, Momouna. Generally speaking, she is not an ordinary young girl as you think."
"...Xiao Nai? What do you mean?"
As soon as he heard the words Baixuna, Fat Tiger immediately frowned.
In fact, he had long realized that the little girl Momoko might not be an ordinary person, but he had never been able to prove it, and he had no time or energy to prove it.
But now that Black Ball mentioned it again, Fat Tiger was both surprised and curious. He also wanted to know who Momoko was, who was able to invalidate the illusion created by Nightmare in the last battle.
"To put it simply, she is the owner of [Athena's] physique."
"......ha?"
Hearing this, everyone froze in place.
"Athena...could it be the...goddess Athena?"
Xiaofu's eyes were full of doubts. He had only seen this name in games and anime. It was indeed something that only existed in legends.
"The so-called [Athena] is just a title. People with this kind of physique are very rare. What is different from ordinary people is that their body and mind are extremely pure. They are born with the ability to accommodate and isolate good intentions and distracting thoughts. This ability has a single purpose. But it has the ability to grow. At the end of the 21st century, this special physique was officially discovered and confirmed, but to this day, its origin is an unsolved mystery."
"..."
Until tens of seconds after the sound of the black ball fell, everyone's faces still maintained the surprised look at the beginning. Obviously, they could not digest this information beyond their understanding in a short period of time.
"...Perhaps I should explain this in more concise and clear language."
Seeing that everyone was still immersed in shock and did not react, Black Ball immediately added, "To put it simply, with [Athena's] physique, she is born to be the nemesis of nightmares, and will also be your key figure in turning the situation around in the future. .”
"...So, the reason why you suddenly brought her to me last time was because you already knew that she had the ability to suppress nightmares?"
After finally recovering from the shock, Fat Tiger immediately remembered that Black Ball had suddenly brought Momoko to him, and the result was that the illusion created by the nightmare was bizarrely disabled.
At that time, he didn't know what happened at all, and he never thought about connecting Baisuna with this incident, but now it seems that if Baisuna was not by his side at that time, he would not be able to solve those nightmares. So relaxed.
"To be precise, it's immunity." Suddenly, Black Ball spoke, "With her special physique, she is naturally able to isolate most negative mental energy, and as long as anyone has direct physical contact with her, she will Everyone can share her abilities as long as they don’t resist.”
"Share... her ability?" Nobita lowered his head and muttered to himself after hearing this, "So... you mean, let her help us protect ourselves from the negative emotions everywhere outside?"
"But... doesn't it mean that there must be direct physical contact? How can Xiaonai keep in contact with all of us?" Fat Tiger asked.
"I said that although this ability is single, it has the potential for growth."
"...Growth?"
"That's right."
As soon as he finished speaking, a petite figure suddenly appeared above the crowd.
I saw a slight smile hanging from the corner of her mouth, wearing a pure white dress, and her eyes were still covered with a layer of white cloth. It was Momona.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the girl who appeared like an angel at this time.
She was seen hanging in mid-air, and her whole body was exuding a strange light, which gradually began to bathe everyone.
After a moment, Nobita opened his hands and looked at the light flowing in his palms, feeling suddenly at ease.
"This is……?"
"The ability to grow to the second stage is shared," Black Ball explained.
"The second stage? In other words, did you help her evolve her abilities?" The man next to him asked after thinking for a moment.
"No, she realized this on her own," Black Ball said, "In fact, I don't know how to help her in this aspect. My knowledge of [Athena] is second only to what I can do within my authority. All information found."
"This feeling... is so comfortable, like taking a bath in the bathroom at home..."
Shizuka closed her eyes, her hands seemed to be embracing these gentle lights.
While everyone was immersed in it, Fat Tiger, who had been silent since just now, had a strange look on his face for some reason.
He has been thinking about one thing since just now, how could he have saved Mozuna on the street by such a coincidence, and how could Mozuna be the owner of the rare [Athena] physique by such a coincidence?
His intuition told him that this was no coincidence.
If you think about it carefully, Baisuna's identity and origin have always been a mystery. Before this, Baisuna had never shown her special abilities. How could Black Ball know?
Unless... from the beginning, it was the Insider.
"Brother Fat Tiger."
His thoughts stopped suddenly, Fat Tiger raised his head and looked at Baisuna hanging in the air.
"Can I really... do something for everyone?"
Suddenly, Fat Tiger was stunned.
Now is the critical moment, how to save the city and even the entire world from the nightmare is the top priority.
Perhaps Momona's true identity is not important. Although she suffers from a serious disease, she still maintains a positive heart and is often eager to do something for them in this world full of despair.
Thinking of this, Fat Tiger's frown gradually began to relax, and then he said in a gentle tone:
"Of course, Xiao Nai."
After receiving Fat Tiger's approval, the smile on Baisuna's face became sweeter. She spread her arms, and the light blooming on her body became more intense, covering everyone inside.
"The time is almost up." After a while, Black Ball suddenly spoke.
"Really..." After a moment, Nobita raised his head, a firm light flashed in his eyes.
"Xiao Nai, thank you. I haven't relaxed like this in a long time." Shizuka's face was rosy and she smiled and thanked Momo Nai above.
"Finally...are we about to face the final battle?"
Although there was still a hint of timidity in Xiaofu's eyes, there was more of courage and determination.
"It's going to be over, everything."
Fat Tiger stood up, his eyes like daggers.
"If you are ready, I can teleport you out at any time." Black Ball said.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and a firm smile appeared on their faces unconsciously.
"We are ready!"
The next second, everyone said in unison.
Black Ball didn't say anything nonsense when he saw this, and immediately opened the exit to the different space.
Nobita clenched his fists and was the first to pass through the exit without saying a word, followed closely by Shizuka. Although Xiaofu hesitated for a moment, he did not fall behind the team and followed the third one through the exit and left.
Immediately afterwards, Fat Tiger, who was at the end of the queue, also took steps towards the exit. At this moment, the black ball hanging in the air suddenly plummeted, and finally blocked him impartially.
"Um......?"
Looking at the black ball blocking his way, Fat Tiger felt a little confused. However, when he was about to say something, the black ball spoke first.
"I know what you want to say, but if you want to complete the final mission, the strength of just a few of you is not enough."
When Fat Tiger heard this, his thick eyebrows gradually tightened.
"You guy...what do you want to do?"
