Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 94 Farewell to Taozi (Revised Edition)

He spent the afternoon restlessly. At night, Xing Tianyu entered the Nightmare Space as soon as it was dark, and flew to the location of Tao Lesi's Nightmare Space with his Viking fighter. He guessed that the other party was probably in the Nightmare Space. For those who have just acquired the ability of the Nightmare Lord, they will never give up the opportunity to enter the Nightmare Dimension.

Sure enough, the huge silver nightmare space was right in front of his eyes.

Through the barrier, Xing Tianyu looked inside. To his surprise, he didn't see any luxurious palaces or amazing scenery. Instead, he saw a simple street in a village. In the small courtyard of the wall, there is a very typical northern dwelling. The yard is full of apple trees, peach trees and plum trees. An old white dog is lying under the kennel, and several hens are pecking in the chicken pen. Looking at the corn in the trough, there is a simple swing made of rubber tires near the wall in the yard. Tao Lesi will just sit on the swing, swinging for a while, thinking about something quietly.

Xing Tianyu got into the nightmare space, fell far away, walked through the rough street, and walked into the small courtyard.

"good evening."

"Good evening, uh—senior." Seeing Xing Tianyu's arrival, Tao Lesi seemed a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

Being called senior is still a very new thing for Xing Tianyu, but it is not wrong to think about it. As a nightmare lord, he is indeed the opponent's senior.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you, and I'm planning to go on a long trip recently."

"So that's it." Tao Lesi seemed a little sad, "I thought you came to play with me."

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of time in the future, we can often play together when I come back." Speaking of this, Xing Tianyu couldn't help but want to laugh, why did he say this as if he was still a child, and why he always wanted to play.

"By the way, where is this place?" Xing Tianyu simply changed the subject.

"My childhood home has been demolished and rebuilt into a factory or something. I don't know what it is, because I haven't visited it for ten years, but I always I can't forget, I often think back to when I was a child, and I always dreamed of this place in my dreams, but the dream was always vague. Every time I dreamed that I went back to the old house, I would suddenly remember that I no longer lived there, and then Will wake up, but now it’s fine, with the ability of the Nightmare Lord, I can restore every plant and tree in my house. I thought I couldn’t remember what my home was like at that time, but these two days After trying a little bit, I found that it can be restored completely realistically, and the result is just like returning to my childhood."

The more Tao Lesi talked, the more excited she became, pointing to the grape rack in the corner of the yard, "When I was young, the grapes on the rack were always red one by one, and I would pick one when the grapes were red. , I have eaten all the grapes in my family, and my dad told me to wait until the grapes are fully ripe before eating, but I can't help it.

Have you seen that peach tree?

One of my favorite fruit trees when I was a child, the peaches on it are delicious, and it bears a lot at a time. I started eating the peaches when they were still very green, and I couldn’t finish eating them until they rotted.

Have you seen that pear tree? I planted it when I was 12 years old. It is said to be a new variety. At that time, I was always looking forward to the fruit of this pear tree. Unfortunately, I went to boarding school before it grew and borne fruit. Afterwards, the house was also demolished, and it didn't have time to grow a single pear until the day it was cut down. "

As Tao Lesi spoke, her tone gradually became sad.

"Peach, who is that outside?"

A voice came from the old house, and then a woman who looked sixty to seven times similar to Tao Lesi came out of the house. The woman was about 30 years old, and she looked about forty. It's completely a costume from the previous world.

Seeing Xing Tianyu, the woman was obviously taken aback, "Who is this?"

"Mom, this is my friend Xing Tianyu, and Xing Tianyu is my mother."

"Oh, please come in, please come in, have you eaten? I just steamed steamed buns and made soup. Do you want to eat some together?"

Xing Tianyu couldn't laugh or cry for a while. He didn't expect Tao Lesi to have such a dream, but well, he can probably understand why the other party would do this. People always miss the past, and sometimes he misses his hometown.

The two of them went in with Tao's mother and had a bland lunch. During the meal, Tao's mother kept praising Tao Lesi's grades in school, how obedient and sensible, Xing Tianyu, as a bystander, listened to everything. A little embarrassed, but Tao Lesi seemed to be enjoying it.

After eating, the two returned to the yard, but suddenly there was the sound of selling popsicles and ice cream outside.

"Hey, do you still sell popsicles here?"

"Of course, my dream is 100% highly restored!" Tao Lesi yelled to the outside, wait for the popsicle seller, and after yelling, he hurriedly pulled Xing Tianyu out of the gate of the yard. The popsicle vendor pushing a bicycle and carrying a foam insulated box, wearing an old blue four-pocket jacket, blows a nostalgic wind.

"[-] cents for popsicles, [-] cents for ice cream, [-] cents for cream ice cream, what do you two want?"

"Two cream ice creams!" Tao Lesi said as he handed over a ten-yuan bill, and then waved his hand in a rich manner, so there's no need to look for it.

The two sat under the big willow tree outside the yard and ate cream ice cream.

Xing Tianyu vaguely remembers this kind of old-fashioned cream ice cream, but it is not clear, but when he can remember, this kind of ice cream has completely withdrawn from the stage of history. This Tao Lesi actually ate this when he was a child, so how old is this girl? ah?Shouldn't he be older than himself?
But asking a woman's age is a big taboo. When Xing Tianyu was struggling with this question, Tao Lesi suddenly asked, "Why me? Why did you make me the Nightmare Lord?"

(Of course it is because there are merit points to be taken.) Xing Tianyu thought to himself.

But of course Xing Tianyu would not say that, "Well, I think you are a very special girl--well, this excuse is too bad, in fact, I am a bit too lonely, and there is no one around me People who share a common language with me, the more people have this amazing ability, the fewer people who can share a common language with me, so when I saw that you have the potential to become a nightmare lord, I guess I wanted to put You become like me, so that at least someone can talk, otherwise I have such abilities myself, but I can’t share them with others, and I can’t even let others know, which is too boring.”

Tao Lesi seemed a little moved after hearing this. "That's really a compliment, but it's okay, I don't have many friends anyway, let's add WeChat friends, and we can go out for a night out together when we have time."

Xing Tianyu wanted to say no, but it didn't hurt to think about it, so they left numbers with each other.

By the way, after leaving numbers with each other, Xing Tianyu finally remembered his business.

"I was afraid you didn't listen carefully last time, so I came this time to remind you, don't leave the nightmare space recently, there are dream-eating squids around, this is no joke."

Tao Zi nodded, and then asked strangely, "Speaking of which, I was still surprised last time. What exactly is a dream-eating squid?"

"A kind of monster," Xing Tianyu said about the dream-eating squid.

"Then no one will clear up these monsters?"

"Of course there is," Xing Tianyu had no choice but to explain the hunting mission and so on.

The more Tao Lesi listened, the more she frowned, with an unbelievable expression on her face, "Wait a minute, you can still do missions in Nightmare World? You can also form a team to fight monsters? Why do you say it looks like an online game? You are not lying to me, are you?" ?”

Xing Tianyu shook his head with a wry smile. In fact, he was also very strange. The gap between this nightmare world and what he imagined was too great. The more he learned about the nightmare universe these days, the more he felt a strong sense of disobedience. , I often wonder if I have entered a fake nightmare world?This inexplicable and weird sense of dissonance made him feel that something was wrong. Although he couldn't tell what the nightmare world should look like, at least it shouldn't be the one he saw now.

He originally thought it was just his own illusion, because the other nightmare lords he met didn't seem to have this doubt, but now he heard Tao Zi say that, and he realized that he was not the only one who felt this way.

However, it doesn't matter if both of them feel this way, he doesn't have time to figure out what's going on now, he still has a plane to catch tomorrow.But when I come back this time, I must figure it out.

After saying goodbye to Tao Lesi, Xing Tianyu left Tao Lesi's nightmare space. Early the next morning, Xing Tianyu took a taxi to the airport.
