Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

I was momentarily at a loss for this man who raised his head and looked up, and whose words and deeds were accompanied by a strong charm.

The tea cat beside him didn't care at all, it disturbed the fluffy tail, and the small pointed ears on its head drooped in confusion and lazily.

Most of the residents in the town followed William who had left here. Although not everyone recognized him, it was enough to show that he also had a certain popularity among these people. If this town accounts for a proportion in the game rules, it is unlikely to have a very heavy weight. After all, once it does, the rulers who have participated will have a certain advantage... and the observers seem to be working hard to eliminate the advantage.

"Um, that..."

"Shut up!" I interrupted No. 6 without thinking, "By the way, who the hell are you... who invited you?"

Seeing that my tone was repulsive to him in every aspect, No. 6 lowered his head a little aggrieved. He seemed to want to answer my words, but was interrupted by someone who suddenly joined us.

"I invited you. What? Are you dissatisfied with the person I invited?" This pleasant voice like a bell made me lose my mind for a short while, and the black cat hair accessory that flickered past the corner of my eye made me frown frown.

Beside Xiao Luoluo, who looked casually, was Xiao Lulu who deliberately made an expression of displeasure. I can't help being a little wary of Luo Luo... In short, I just can't let go of my guard against her.

She had a faint smell of danger. This feeling disturbs me.

"Of course not." I answered her quickly, trying to keep my eyes on her as steady as possible, but she smiled slightly, leaned into my ear, and let out a soft breath. This made my whole body almost go limp, and I quickly took a step back to keep a certain distance from it.

"What are you afraid of? Will I eat you?" Xiao Luoluo put her hands behind her back and stretched her eyebrows when she saw my excessive reaction, "I kindly remind you, because you must have misunderstood something. However, since you If you don’t appreciate it, forget it~”

She spread her hands with pretending regret, blinked her eyes and gestured goodbye to me, and walked away before I asked.

"Hey... you guys just say what you have to say! Everyone is a jerk." I put down my hand irritably, but Xiao Lulu still stayed here and had no intention of leaving.

"Can I interject now..." No. 6 asked carefully and softly. Without raising my head, I waved at him casually, signaling him to figure it out. He was relieved when he saw this, " This is probably the second time I have entered lucid dreaming, I have no experience other than that, but oh... I have been paying attention to this matter, because I am a trainee reporter for a news agency.”

"Could you please summarize your words in less than 30 words? What kind of news agency are you if you don't know the key points?"

"How do you know? Our president also said so?"

"Well, you have 14 characters left."

"What... what? No..." He covered his mouth in astonishment, as if he was seriously facing my request. When his frowning eyebrows finally opened, he said cautiously, "You are probably a netizen I have met."

It is indeed controlled within ten words. But what he said made me confused for a while, and I couldn't help recalling the ID I used to communicate with me on the forum in the past. I searched for the two keywords of "current charging" and "sultry", but I still couldn't get it in my mind. After finding the answer, I simply compromised and raised my head to look at him.

"Who the hell are you? What I mean is...you have successfully grasped the key points and passed the basic level. Now you can explain your content in detail."

It seems that this boy is quite easy to fool. After hearing what I said, he happily made a successful gesture, then pursed his lips and looked into my eyes.

"There are too many people here, can we communicate with each other face to face?"

＊＊＊

Although I was a little reluctant, I reluctantly agreed to his proposal with my mouth curled up, but! ——

"Why did you follow me, you super idiot? You can't understand!" I said weakly, staring at Xiao Lulu.

"Tch... I'm too lazy to talk to you." Xiao Lulu folded his hands and turned his head away. No. 6 raised his eyebrows lightly, and leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to speak eloquently.

"A few days ago, I received news to follow up the incident of the automatic operation of the abandoned factory's midnight system..."

"Is this an urban legend?" I inadvertently complained.

"No! Since then, I have often been followed by people, so I found out that this incident is unusual. I went there later, anyway, it is related to a scientific research institution that conducts secret research! I found that they were actually studying the "Dream Realm" "Video Recording System"...and I stole a piece of data there..."

"You really... dare to steal."

I didn't expect that the words of No. 6 would inexplicably meet Xiao Lulu's strange brain circuit, and I looked at her with some sadness.

"I'm not qualified to say anything about others, hey, why don't you go with your dangerous sister!"

"You idiot... Who are you calling dangerous! Anyway, you can't control me if I don't leave."

I pointed at Xiao Lulu, but I didn't know how to drive her away. Seeing that No. 6 was eager to continue talking after being interrupted by us, I still put down my finger.

"...The information seems to be a person related to the organization, but the records are too incomplete. I only know that this person has a blog on the Internet. If it is characteristic... it has something to do with "vampires"."

Having said that, she closed her mouth and didn't say anything more. Silence fell abruptly between us, and I looked at her in disbelief, raising my brow.

"Don't tell me you're done talking? Didn't you say that I'm a netizen you've seen? You ate this paragraph?"

"I think you also know that in order to attract readers, the title is a little deceptive, shouldn't it be too much?"

The reporter's nature can be seen at a glance, and the face of the headline party is really ugly! I actually forgot that this man is a member of the news agency. Although he is an intern, the essence is the same!

"Just because I look like a vampire in this world, you came here to trick me?"

"No...and I didn't mean to lie to you. There's a reason." His eyes looked at me sincerely, and I closed them for a few seconds, and when I opened them again, I glared at him.

"Your reason had better convince me, otherwise I will definitely take revenge on you even if you are my teammate."

"...After entering the research institute that day, I met a young girl there. She called herself Xiao Luoluo...invited me to enter her dream world. It seemed that by some means, I would enter her dream world every night. In the dream...from this, I meet her every night. It is because of her...that I appear here to join the game."

So, Xiao Luoluo and this person are not acquainted at all, but just happened to encounter the missing number of people, and without the consent of the unlucky guy who broke into the organization, he was pulled into this war? But how could Xiao Luoluo have anything to do with a research institution? What a mess.

"Really, I didn't intend to leave with that document at first, but she secretly stuffed the document into my bag..."

"You really are a headline party, right? What's the reason? After a long time, you just perfected the stories that are not true or not?"

"The reason is Xiao Luoluo... just now at the clock above, she asked me how my information was going, and I told the truth..."

"Oh? You mean you said it was related to vampires, and then that dead black cat asked you to come to me?"

No. 6 hummed quite bluntly, and I rubbed my temples, feeling a little annoyed. Being targeted by reporters is one of the most troublesome things in the world. Xiao Luoluo obviously did this on purpose, either purely for fun, or noticed that I was suspicious of her, and intentionally dug a huge pit for me and pushed me down.

I really want to understand the 11 rulers other than myself. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle, and Xiao Luoluo, the most mysterious figure, is naturally my goal. And now it is true, so I can't pay attention to her often. Really a cunning guy.

"Let's meet after we wake up from the dream!" No. 6 took a deep breath, and then directly made such a proposal. How could I be targeted by you! If you also know the contact information in reality, I must have no leisure in dream reality in the future!

"Hey, you are not necessarily in the same real world." A familiar voice came from my ear, and at some point the tea cat turned into a cat again and sat on my shoulder.

"You guy...you are so thin, why did you become as fat as Garfield when you turned into a cat!" I complained helplessly, she hung her head lazily, stretched her waist idly, and then lay down back on my shoulders. The soft pads scratched my neck, giving me the illusion that she was acting like a baby.

"I don't understand what you mean..." No. 6 took a step forward. He seemed to accept the strange setting that the cat was talking. He remembered that when he was a child watching Doraemon, he often couldn't accept the talking character of the civet cat in the movies. Sure enough, the reporter's psychological quality is good, right? Although it is an internship.

"Similar to the dream world, there are different and parallel dream worlds composed of "imagination"... The real world is also divided into many different parallel worlds composed of "stories". The key to the existence of these worlds is to "recognize 』…In short, you may be in different real worlds, and you may not see them when you go back.”

No. 6 pondered the cryptic words, and I was finally relieved to get rid of this guy anyway. But suddenly I felt someone grab my arm, I was startled by his sudden move, and quickly moved away.

"What are you doing?"

"At least tell me the name? Isn't there a saying that says that, once you know the name, it will be easier to meet you?"

The question is why do I want to exchange names with a boy, and then look forward to the day when the two of them meet... I have already said that my sexuality is normal...

"It's annoying. My name is Lin Yu. My ability is mind reading, but I'm too lazy to read some people's minds. Do you understand?"

"Oh~ My name is Xue Xueer, please give me your advice!" He covered his mouth and stretched out his hand. I looked at him with some confusion, but I couldn't reach out for a while because of a strange feeling.

No, no, no, no, no, something is wrong, but where is it!

I just said that many times I don’t want to read my mind. It seems that I will slap myself in the face a little bit now... I took a deep breath and opened the door to connect with other people’s hearts. A brain flooded into my head, doubts about my indifference in the face of his outstretched hand occupied most of it, I put aside these dense threads, and finally found the crucial thin rope.

"You...you...you are a girl? You can't be a big guy in women's clothes, right?" I hastily closed the entrance of the Nianxiang, and took a step back and leaned against the wall.

Recalling the feminine gestures he has sometimes made since his appearance. Presumably Xiao Luoluo wanted to tell me about this just now! So what was I worrying about just now?

"I...I'm not..." He (she?) said while avoiding everyone's eyes. Xiao Lulu looked at me suspiciously, clearly questioning my words. And the tea cat said "Hey", and then there was no reaction. It seems that she doesn't care too much about things that have nothing to do with her. It's not like I just don't care.

"Not at all convincing...Xue Xueer, no wonder it doesn't sound like a boy's name."

"..."

"Why does a girl appear as a boy in the dream world!"

"Our appearance in the dream world is our own subconscious mind. She treats herself as such a boy." The tea cat yawned exaggeratedly, and scratched me with its paw as if to appease me. The heart that complained frantically.

Just when I was about to say something, the tea cat on my shoulder suddenly jumped down, and there was a hint of cold vigilance hidden in the lazy eyes.

"The masters of other clocks have also come down." She softly explained the reason for being on guard. I raised my head, and I clearly noticed the people approaching the town with neat steps and majestic momentum. There were far more than 12 people, and the serious and depressing atmosphere made me very uncomfortable.

"It's the group of clock number one." Xiao Lulu clicked his tongue, showing that he didn't like this group of people very much. It's really rare to agree with an idiot like her.

"...It's unreasonable, why are there so many people!" I glanced at Xiao Luoluo full of surprise, only to see her frown slightly.

"I don't know. But I have the impression that the one at the front is No. 1 there." Xiao Lulu raised his head, following her gaze, I looked in that direction, the man's face was covered with colorful marks The eyes are full, and the eye sockets are dyed bright red. Simply looking is a very dangerous person.

Immediately behind him is a general with a green vest and jeans casually matched, with yellow hair that looks carefree, and a woman who looks like a doll but has a certain leadership temperament waving a fan and wearing a foreign dress... After the distance, they are all soldiers wearing uniform camouflage uniforms and goggles.

"It's better to avoid them. They don't look very friendly." The tea cat tilted its head, and there was no panic in its tone, but it inadvertently pulled our hearts.

Seems to be waiting for my response. If we stay here, we should face them directly. We will suffer a disadvantage in terms of numbers. I still don't want to take it as a bet for 4 hours. But after thinking about it for a while, they should have also noticed that there must be a special reason for the town to appear, so they came here to investigate.

But... Now I can only leave them with the opportunity to obtain information. Thinking of this, I nodded to the tea cat and stepped back in the opposite direction. But suddenly a flash of sword light flashed from behind and hit Xiao Lulu directly, and Xiao Lulu turned around and stretched out his hands against the long sword glowing with silver light, and shot out from between her palms. The black mist that came out suddenly shattered it.

"Finally found you! How despicable, quickly hand over our boss!" There are some vague impressions... I seem to have noticed them before, because apart from No. 6, only their No. 1 position is vacant Yes, I also made guesses about the condition of the two clocks. The speaker is the clock, number 2 of clock number twelve.

"I don't know...who made your boss..." She said this, her eyes froze for a moment, she covered her mouth gently, as if thinking of something, "Wait, what you said "boss", is it Is it that idiot little dragon who yelled for a fight when he came here?"

"Dragon man... yes!" Someone responded loudly, with a proud look, "Are you afraid?"

"Shut up, you shut up, people call our boss an idiot, you are still, yes, you are a ghost!" No. 2 slapped the man on the head with such force that he swooped directly to the ground, half The head sank into the ground, and the man kept pushing the ground with his hands, seemingly trying to pull the head out from inside.

"If you continue like this, you will be noticed. You can either release their No. 1, or stuff them in too..." I leaned close to Xiao Lulu's ear and reminded me softly. It seems that because the distance is too close, I feel that Xiao Lulu glanced at me with some embarrassment.

She took a deep breath, waved her left hand lightly, and a black mist floating up and down appeared in the center of us. The turbulent black mist spat out a part of the long sword that had been swallowed up earlier, as well as a person whose whole body was covered with snow. The man coughed forcefully, slapped all the snowflakes off his body roughly, and quickly stood beside his teammates.

"You can go away. Don't block our way." Xiao Lulu said to them rather domineeringly, and the half-dragon-shaped No. 1 quickly lay in front of her.

"This way, it is an insult to let me spend so long in that kind of ice and snow! I will definitely pay you back double."

"You came to trouble me by yourself, what do you want to do?" Xiao Lulu frowned, and the dissatisfaction accumulated between his brows intensified.

"Hehe, there are 12 of us including our boss, and you only have one, two, three...three people! Don't let me mess around there. Let's do this, you kneel down and give me three bangs." Sorry? I promise to let you go immediately." After that, No. 2 let out a sharp laugh, and many people under his guidance also laughed.

That number 1 also seemed to feel that what he said was not very good, so he pulled him hard. No. 2 replied with a look of "it doesn't matter".

It would be a waste of time to entangle with them any longer. When I was about to drag Xiao Lulu away, I found her showing a terrifying expression that I had never seen before. That kind of cold eyes instantly swallowed up my courage to strike up a conversation. What disturbed me the most was that the black mist continued to emerge from her body and gradually gathered into a ball from all around.

"If you don't want to die, get out immediately."

I gritted my teeth and wanted to grab Lulu's shoulders to calm her down a bit, but when I came into contact with the black mist wrapped around her body, it burned directly on my skin, as if using this This way is telling the difference between this time and the previous impulses. I quickly withdrew my hand. It seems that this guy's dominance ability is still very terrifying when he is out of control.

The tea cat tugged at my trousers, jumped onto my body, stopped at my shoulder, and said in a voice that only I could hear:

"She's in danger now. Don't get close to her casually..."

The black mist burned the thin clothes on her body, causing some damage to the fabric, and in a few places, the fair skin was clearly displayed. I shook my head hastily.

However, those 12 people had no intention of leaving at all, instead a few people continued to laugh at something exaggeratedly. At this time, Xiao Lulu naturally lost the idea of ​​continuing to wait for them to leave. The next second when the coldness in his eyes deepened by a minute, the distorted black mist directly filled the bodies of those people, and the black mist directly covered the 12 people. The individual was pulled into the air.

Obviously someone started to panic, especially No. 2 who was feeling uneasy and struggling constantly. And Xiao Lulu stood on the spot, just made a movement like ravaging and tearing paper lightly, the body of No. 2 was directly pushed by the black mist in all directions, he cried out in pain, and followed the movement of his body in the next second. With a crackling sound, the flesh was pulled into several parts and scattered on the ground.

This kind of situation caused everyone else to show a look of panic, and some even desperately begged for mercy, but Xiao Lulu still looked at them coldly as if he hadn't heard it. Of course, I have neither the will to stop her, after all, they themselves are cheap, even if they have the ability to stop her - the black mist can't distinguish between enemy and friend, and they pretend to drill into my body.

With the sound of body exploding and hoarse screams sounding one after another, the black mist didn't intend to pull me into the air... I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately it wouldn't tear me into pieces too.

——In just a few seconds, the 12 rulers were all out of human form.

"You..." The black mist gradually spread in all directions, I was a little confused and wanted to say something to Xiao Lulu, but the strange color in her eyes that turned back made me swallow what I wanted to say went back.

"Shut up. Or I'll tear you apart. It's the same if you use mind reading." Her words instantly made me lose the courage to pry into her heart. I didn't know what they said to make her so angry, and I didn't expect Xiao Lulu to be so scary when she was angry. However, she didn't take many steps forward before she stopped suddenly, and then her body fell to the right. Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, I quickly stepped forward three steps and made two steps, the first step hugged Xiao Lulu's body, the soft touch from her body, and the purple hair, Then it fell into my arms.

"All the rulers of clock number 12 will be wiped out, and the killer will be the ruler of clock number 2. A death penalty will be added to clock number 12, and the death time from 4 hours will be extended to 8 hours."

Suddenly, the sound that spread throughout the cracks in the dream reached my ears. I raised my eyes to search for the source, but I couldn't find the source of the sound for a while. It seems that observers will be reminded of what happens. At least it just explained the team, but didn't tell the information about the killer himself.

Xiao Lulu, who was lying in my arms, frowned in discomfort, and his cherry lips lost some blood. Everywhere on the skin exudes scorching heat. There is still some black mist remaining, and it will still tingle if touched directly. I tried to touch the temperature of her forehead, and found that the temperature from her forehead was much higher than other parts.

"What's wrong with her?" Xue Xueer coughed forcefully a few times, presumably because of the black mist just now. Looking carefully around, the walls and ground of the alley have spider silk-like cracks of different sizes.

"It's probably an overloaded state. It's probably similar to me just now. But it's a little more serious." I put my speculation into words. Turning off the opponent's clock in a short time, although I feel that this woman has some intellectual problems... But I have to admit, she is really a terrifying character. If the black mist just now can be used casually, I doubt that the winner can be directly determined.

Suddenly, the brain picks up an inner voice outside of us, and that voice has a subtle, easily detectable hostility towards us.

I hurriedly looked in the direction of the source of the release of this emotion, and then suddenly lost my voice - as expected, such a big movement still caught their attention... The super-large team at clock number 1 is not far away The sky looks down on us. I clicked my tongue, and it seemed that a confrontation with them was inevitable. The eyes of the weirdo in the lead seemed to be asking which ruler it was that caused such a commotion just now.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes fell on Xiao Lulu who was in my arms.
