In the blink of an eye, the sky in Jinx's memory world... turned dark.
The light disappeared.
And darkness...
coming!
"Embrace the darkness."
The moment the memory world turned off the lights, the fake Jinx slowly changed his appearance in the darkness. If Baker saw this scene, he would definitely know who it was.
Eternal Nightmare Nocturne!
A pair of cold eyes opened in a faceless black shadow, and on both sides of the body were a pair of terrifying blades.
This is Nocturne, an existence that has broken away from the non-physical world into the physical world, a demon that is completely refined and condensed from the nightmares of countless creatures in the Valoran universe.
A true devil.
It is said that the creatures in Valoran dream in the same place, which is the Planet of Dreams, a planet that only exists when creatures dream. Nocturne ran away from this planet.
Nocturne got rid of the shackles of the spiritual realm and entered the mortal world after waking up from the dream, looking for the fears that grew wildly in the real darkness as his own food.
Jinx, a runaway loli who was transformed by an alchemist and is always hiding her fear with madness, is undoubtedly a great spiritual food for Nocturne.
even.
Nocturne also developed Jinx into a mount of his own?
For example, Jinx is destroying, while Nocturne is quietly absorbing the souls of those who were frightened by Jinx's attack. On the other hand, it is inhabiting Jinx's memory world, preventing Jinx from destroying the world. X's self-repair.
Just now.
Almost at the moment when Sentinel Arthur came in, Nocturne felt something was wrong, but similarly, the world outside Jinx's memory world also made Nocturne feel something was wrong.
He was discovered.
Because the world outside Jinx's memory world is a mirror world, where neither Baker nor Barbara are afraid of anything, so Nocturne thought that he was being targeted. , and Dom Cobb and others came in specifically to eliminate him.
As the saying goes, strike first to gain strength and strike later to suffer disaster. Nocturne also understands this truth.
fortunately.
Jinx's memory world is not so much Jinx's as it is the one that Nocturne has been running for many years.
In these years, Jinx has had moments of sobriety, but they have been short-lived. This is all because whenever Jinx is awake, there will be a Jinx in the memory world, and soon, he will be sensed by Nocturne. When Jinx was awake, he killed him directly out of fear. Once again, the bird occupied the bird's nest and Jinx fell into the rhythm of Nocturne.
This is why Jinx sometimes says "Maybe we should settle down and live a stable life".
actually……
Jinx wants to be a good person.
Nightmare Path!
Nocturne revealed his true form and threw a Shadow Blade directly at the same time. Then, the Ignorant blocked the building in front of him, walking straight through it and daring to reach Dom Cobb as fast as possible. In front of others.
soon.
Almost at the moment when Nocturne was about to touch his face.
There was a bang.
Turn on the lights.
Nocturne was stunned for a moment, and moved sideways into the shadow of a building.
Eames, the actor, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the world brighten up and said: "Although I don't know what the situation is, I can control this place."
If the memory world is compared to a game, then Jinx, Nocturne, and Eames are the so-called authorized players. Jinx is undoubtedly the first authorized player, but Jinx left the game early. The only person left with the greatest authority is Nocturne. Unfortunately, Nocturne also gave up his authority when he restored his true form when he chose to turn off the lights.
obviously.
Nocturne probably didn't expect to be here. Behind him was Eames, who had stolen Jinx's authority this time.
what to do?
Nocturne, who was in the darkness, stared at the Dom Cobb team and others not far away, who firmly protected Eames, who played Jinx, in the middle. His green eyes kept turning.
The next second.
Nocturne's eyes fell on a chemical factory not far away.
Nocturne can also appear under the light, but Nocturne comes from the Dream Planet. Even if Nocturne breaks free and comes to the material world, Nocturne has an entity, but that entity is very fragile.
Moreover, Nocturne's special skill is killing people in dreams. Although Nocturne has reached the highest level, which is the so-called point where the opponent can kill people in their dreams without sleeping, there is still a limit.
Only when the target is in the dark, or in a corner where sunlight cannot shine, can he directly and forcefully kill the target person with a single blow.
Under the light?
Once noticed by the target, the opponent may seriously injure Nocturne with just one bullet.
Think about it.
Nocturne took the lead in walking through the darkness, heading towards the chemical plant not far away.
They will definitely come.
If everyone's memory world has a core area, then the chemical plant in front of them is the core area of Jinx's memory, because it is also in the chemical plant that Jinx turned into a runaway loli.
After Nocturne gave up his authority, the actor Eames quickly checked the current memory world database, and then discussed it with Dom Cobb and the other three.
Jinx's memory world has two levels.
The first floor is the memory world of the runaway loli Jinx where they are now, and the other floor is the memory world of Jinx.
The former symbolizes Jinx's disorder and madness.
The latter symbolizes Jinx himself.
Dom Cobb looked at the three of them: "What are your suggestions?"
Outpost Arthur said: "Destroy this layer directly and keep the second layer."
Architect Adrian nodded: "I agree with Arthur."
Dom Cobb looked at the actor Eames.
Eames said: "I am also inclined to Arthur's proposal."
There is something weird about this first layer, and their mission this time is to repair Jinx’s memory world. If there is only one layer, then they can only repair it laboriously, but there is a second layer, anyway, this layer The building is basically in pieces and has little value for repair. It is better to blow it up and keep the other one. Then it will be OK to fill in some lost memories.
The employer, Baker, only asked for someone who was in normal condition, and did not say how to do it specifically. Since he didn't say it, it was just for them to watch. No one would give up the shortcut and take the long way for no reason.
Dom Cobb thought for a while: "Okay!"
Eames pointed to the location of the chemical plant with thick green fog not far away: "That's the key point connecting this layer to the next."
Jinx's turning point was in the chemical plant.
so.
This chemical plant is the only well-preserved building in this dilapidated city.
Blast him.
It would be equivalent to blowing up the world, and at the same time destroying Jinx's ten years of memory from the age of eight to now eighteen.
…
Apartment 820 Fifth Avenue.
After seeing that Dom Cobb's team successfully entered Jinx's memory world, Baker took Barbara and left the mirror world.
Anyway, he can observe any movement in his mirror world anytime and anywhere.
This is also true of the stone door in the villa in England.
Hydra has been destroyed, and the beehive and the like, wouldn't it be nice to just stay on an alien planet? The beehive is an alien when it comes to the earth, and on that planet it is still just like a ball.
A planet is as long as a planet, and a test subject can be as long as Egg. This is nature. How powerful does the hive brain have to be to think that the earth is better than an alien planet?
Anyway, it would have been Baker.
Baker is unwilling to return to Earth. It is crowded with people. Looking through the history of the entire Earth and the history of Chi Guoguo's wars, it is well known that Baker is a peace-loving person.
"I am leaving."
"good."
Baker said to Sera who was coming down the stairs. Sera was not leaving the apartment building, but had made an appointment with Alexis downstairs to take an art class together.
It's inside the apartment building, very safe.
soon.
Sera glanced at the mirror world unfolding in the living room with some curiosity, and then went out.
Barbara noticed, and after Sera went out, she looked at Baker, who was drinking a drink at the bar as usual, and said, "Can Sera see the mirror world?"
Beck nodded and then shook his head.
"how?"
"I think it should be possible, but I didn't ask."
"Why?"
"privacy."
Baker said that at the beginning, his style of conduct was indeed similar to that of the Eastern Kingdom, but after so many years, Baker still absorbed some of the essence of the West.
Like privacy or something.
However, although Baker did not ask Sera, Baker could feel that Sera was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The changes mentioned here refer to personality and eyesight.
After all, Sera inherited the genetic code of Angel, the only angel queen in heaven. Baker could know without asking anyone. The inheritance of this genetic code is somewhat similar to the inheritance of the Sword of Legend to Barbara.
Barbara obtained the inheritance of the will of the blade, but such an inheritance is dead, which is why the Legendary Sword asked Mr. Xin to give Barbara some tricks.
The inheritance of genetic code is different.
It's said to be inheritance.
It might as well be called reincarnation. To put it bluntly, Sera is Angel, but Angel is not Sera. The inheritance in the genetic code is Sera's. Naturally, the speed of fusion is far faster than that of the Legendary Sword.
and……
Baker thought for a while and looked at Barbara: "Actually, Sera's changes are somewhat beyond my expectations."
Barbara looked at Baker curiously: "Exceeding your expectations?"
Beck nodded.
The time flow on the Pandora planet rented by Baker and Hell Lord Mephisto is increasing month by month. According to Baker's estimation, the first batch of residents of Heaven will be born in the middle of 2009.
But right now?
Time seems to be running out. According to Baker's observations about Sera, in less than half a year, Sera will completely integrate her genetic code.
By that time, Sera may no longer be Sera, but Sera, the Queen of Angels.
so……
Time waits for no one, which is another reason why Baker is unwilling to delay going to Wakanda. Whether it is due to his own considerations of becoming a god or his arrangements for Sera, within half a year, the Kingdom of Heaven must be born. Baker must become a god.
Baker thought this and then said to Barbara: "You can go to heaven when the time comes."
Barbara was slightly startled: "What?"
Baker nodded: "The universe is so big, there's no need to focus on a small broken ball, right?"
Barbara laughed: "Let me ask you a question."
"What?"
"How do I go to heaven?"
"of course……"
When Baker said this, he got stuck. What's worse, he dug a hole for himself, and it seemed that he was going to be buried in it.
Barbara looked at the stuck Baker, smiled when she saw it, and said directly without asking any questions: "If Sera returns to heaven, she should be able to recover her memory, right?"
Baker thought for a while: "Should."
The methods of Dom Cobb's team are very powerful, but they are only useful for people with a level of god.
Gods and above should be useless. To put it bluntly, Dom Cobb's method is equivalent to deletion without emptying the recycle bin. One of the biggest characteristics of gods is their photographic memory.
Therefore, after Sera became Holy Sera, she should be aware of the memory that was thrown into the recycling bin.
Barbara shrugged: "So, I can't go."
Please.
Barbara feels that no matter what happens to her and Beck in the future, Sierra's biological mother is Josie Michael after all, not her Barbara Morse. Even if Sierra doesn't care about it after awakening her memory, Barbara cares about this.
The most important thing.
Barbara looked at Baker: "Heaven is what you want to give to Sierra, isn't it?"
Baker nodded and did not deny it. Ever since he knew the genetic code of Heaven and Sera, this matter has been decided. Whether it is the destiny of the sacred Sera or Baker's compensation, in the final analysis, Seira After all, Baker's blood is flowing in La's body.
Again.
Baker was not generous enough to give the rule of the Kingdom of Heaven to someone with whom he was not directly related.
His two younger sisters, Irene and Nova, are impossible. Naturally, Andy and Vivian are even more impossible. Baker himself is not willing to be a leader of power, so Sera is the real Destiny Serra.
Looking at the expression on Barbara's face, Baker changed his mind and immediately understood Barbara's concerns. He shook his head, smiled and said, "Forget it, just don't go if you don't want to go."
Barbara blinked: "I want to go."
Baker frowned slightly and looked at Barbara, woman, are you synonymous with being capricious and unpredictable?
Barbara then smiled and said: "The kingdom of heaven belongs to Sera, not us."
Baker understood Barbara's voiceover and looked at Barbara speechlessly: "Do you think the planets belong to Chinese cabbage? There are so many unowned planets."
The planet of the hive is considered suitable for human habitation.
but……
The place looked yellow at first glance. Baker was not a desert person and had no interest in that kind of planet.
at this time.
Ding!
Baker was slightly startled when he heard the sudden plug-in sound.
what's the situation?
"Ding!"
"Discover the Eternal Nightmare Nocturne."
"If you kill, you will get the Magic Bead, and the extra reward is [Spider Queen's Legacy]!"
"..."
