Chapter 2817: Chapter 2812: Who Rules the Abyss of Dreams
The evening sky remained clear.
In a split second, having returned to the bookstore, Fu Qian sat back in his luxurious chair, observing the view outside the window.
The weather was pleasant, but unfortunately, only a sliver of the sunset’s afterglow remained.
The good news was that despite only a sliver of afterglow remaining, there was no sign that tomorrow’s sun wouldn’t rise.
Although the number thirteen is indeed somewhat unlucky in theory.
With a sigh, Fu Qian touched the empty cup before him and took a kettle from the side to pour himself some more.
There was still some warmth left; although Gan Baobao’s craftsmanship might have been lacking, the quality of the tea itself was excellent.
Before entering the warehouse, he had given a bit of advice on this side.
He particularly emphasized that although there may be too much unfairness between Transcendents and ordinary people, in the face of true death, fear is the same.
At this moment, it unexpectedly felt a bit like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
This mission was not only unusual, but the number 48 plus 13 seemed to cast a shadow over everything.
Even the item number was 013.
In the past, this might have been considered a coincidence, but not long ago, the power of numbers had just been demonstrated.
Not to mention the similarity between the numbers of the items related to Mr. Ji Sr. as an example.
Of course, one should always think positively; even if it was just thirteen days, it was nearly two weeks.
Not to mention, there was even a small additional reward this time.
Bernard...one of the duo from the coffee bookstore, has actually been to Demon Mountain?
In return for assisting with supplementing information related to Laxik, Mr. Mo Sr., although the final content provided wasn’t much, was sufficient to confirm that it was indeed the deceased and not just someone with the same name.
Somewhat unexpected, but also reasonable.
Let’s not forget that the two of them could even venture over to see the Witch, a local Moon God’s Enchantment, which was even less incredible.
Not to mention, it had already been demonstrated that the reason for their unique constitution was likely related to the Nightmare Corridor.
...
Yes, in Fu Qian’s view, after this mission, there seemed to be more elements to connect.
So much so that Annalise’s midnight nightmare appeared to possibly have a deep connection to the Nightmare Corridor.
One reason was even in the name itself; the corridor seemed to have a dream element in it, and this name was personally certified by Brother Interlocutor of the indigenous people.
Although calling himself the Master of the Dream Realm for quite some time, this special power seemed to have no true master - like the Master of Dream Abyss or Jue Emperor.
This experience inevitably made one suspect if there was some towering presence hidden behind this special concept beyond reality.
Could it be the Original Moon? It seemed quite involved.
Furthermore, could the Original Moon’s existence be related to the appearance of the Nightmare Corridor?
Let’s not forget the Dark Moon that came after It had a clearly significant connection with the Nightmare Corridor.
As for the second reason, the other virtuous mission related to Laxik, the reward obtained upon completion was the Return Edict.
And during the subsequent return from the Witch, it was personally authenticated by the warehouse as being related to the power of the Nightmare Corridor.
The combination of both is sufficient to prove that "virtue," even if not occurring within the Nightmare Corridor, is a place closely connected to it.
Therefore, the probability that another task related to Laxik also possessed similar attributes undoubtedly increased significantly.
All of these adding up, Bernard accidentally getting involved and even becoming a part of it seemed very normal.
So what amused Fu Qian was, on the one hand, his way of handling it.
One could only say that every abnormality indeed has its reason; the Lester mentioned by Mr. Mo Sr. had a high probability of being Wayne Falter.
It seemed that during the process of mental treatment/intervention for Bernard, his own spirit had suffered some damage.
I wonder if this was the motivation behind his subsequent part-time job as a night guard and his complicated attitude towards the precursor’s story.
Believing it at one moment, disbelieving it at another, in Fu Qian’s view, this undoubtedly belonged to the case of the healer being reverse-polluted by the patient. Was this disease-root planted first by that rooster-head?
Task’s conclusion, however, truly proved his hesitance was justified.
The precursor demonstrated extreme operation and proved himself to be the Master of Prophecy.
In the game against Servis, the model was essentially like this—
The precursor could indeed foresee the future up to a certain period and write it down on paper.
Servis, by spying with his planted personnel, found this out and indeed arranged things according to the content.
As a result, although the prophecy did come true, both regarded it as their achievement while indulging in self-doubt.
After all, even from the perspective of the precursor, Servis’s actions were akin to mud on trousers. Whether it was or wasn’t, it was.
Actually, in a way, it was quite similar to being in a psychiatric hospital, step by step doubting oneself until truly descending into illness?
Thankfully, in the end, the rogue arrived, through a skit for three, managing to drive the doctor mad.
In the aftermath of the sanatorium situation, the possibility of Servis and the precursor’s situation swapping was quite high.
Of course, coming back to Bernard, how he left, although the old man was vague, clearly demonstrated that he possessed traits proving he wasn’t mad.
The more intriguing specific detail was that Bernard was surprisingly "the first intruder."
No matter how you looked, that guy wasn’t that old, meaning the Divine Dream left from the Mythic Era had remained undisturbed for years?
Then why was it broken this time?
It’s definitely not a boring question because it involves a more personal—why was there this mission for oneself?
It seemed simply to throw oneself into a predicament, and success was achieved as long as one came out, what was the warehouse actually trying to achieve by such actions?
Once anything involved the Nightmare Corridor, many things became bizarre and hard to comprehend.
Unsure if there will be a chance later to consult Brother Bernard for more details.
"Tilani?"
The brain swiftly processed, not delaying Fu Qian as he looked up at the sky, silently reading another name in his heart.
...
Still no movement?
Unfortunately, even as night had truly fallen within a moment, there wasn’t a moon to be seen in the sky, let alone the Red Moon.
Resulting in Fu Qian, while caressing his newly obtained "weapon", drinking yet another cup.
From the moment he came out, he was waiting, seeing if there would be a special reaction from the Red Moon due to this experience and acquisition.
Sadly, everything was so tranquil, forcing him to increase his dose and try calling out "its name."
Regrettably, the result remained unchanged, and even the tea in the kettle had once again run out—never mind.
With a gentle sigh, Fu Qian got up and left his loyal chair, heading straight towards the airport in the dimness.
