Chapter 136: Everlasting Since the First Time
Chapter 136: Everlasting Since the First Time
The boats made by Chen Miaowen were not up to standard. They would fall apart after being rowed by his clones for only a few kilometers, and then they would have to be rebuilt.
They went on and on, never seeing the edge of the land, nor knowing how far they had rowed, but they knew they had rowed for two hours.
Even with hundreds of clones and hundreds of Red Kings, it seems impossible to cross this sea.
"So where exactly is this? It seems to stretch on forever..."
As the main clone, Chen was only left to eat out of boredom. As he lay there, he even developed a bit of sea phobia. Seeing the seawater that was so blue it was almost black, he felt inexplicably afraid.
"Is it lonely and hard to accept?"
Even the boss Diablo would suddenly fall silent, and then suddenly speak in his mind.
In fact, he ignored Chen most of the time.
But he also felt bored. He was with that blue sphere all the time, but it didn't make a sound.
So he usually sleeps, and the feeling of sleeping as a second soul inside Diavolo's own body is completely different from usual. It's much more relaxing than before, since Diavolo, as the boss, doesn't usually sleep very soundly.
Every time he fell asleep and woke up, he could always see Chen Miaowen complaining bitterly on the sea.
So he said, "Let's go out into the sea and take a look... I remember I used to do scuba diving, and it was pretty good."
"never mind."
Chen stretched on the spiderweb-covered bed, closed his eyes and opened them again, then looked around, but all he saw was the sea.
"I can't take it anymore!"
Chen roared, hoping to summon reinforcements.
......
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
Yedan opened his eyes beside the cave entrance.
He wasn't tired, but he had slept there.
He knew that he had inexplicably spent two days in that dark alley.
But he did not suffer from hunger or pain; he remained in the state he had been in the moment he entered the alley.
To be more precise, this alley is unaffected by time or any external influences; moreover, everything about it remains unchanged and cyclical.
No matter how many hours or years pass, this alley will remain unchanged, as will everything within it.
Whether it was the blood-stained thread, the driver with half his head cut off, or the six shovels, they were all left in the same place without any change. Even when Yedan deliberately moved their positions, they were still in the same place when he returned the next time.
Even Satan, who is currently going through a challenge, remains unchanged.
They only knew that time was passing, according to the time displayed on the puppet's phone, but their own time remained frozen.
So no matter how many years pass, Yedan will still look like he's ten years old, in the same state, and will still be navigating this alley.
"Damn it! What, what am I going to do!...Satan!"
Yedan had broken down; he had repeated the challenge at least dozens of times, not counting the unconscious repetitions he had made over the past two days.
At first, he was hopeful, but after walking countless roads, although he did not feel tired, he did not find any way to escape, so he naturally began to despair.
As for the idea of digging through the pyramid, it was completely impossible, because the alley connecting the entrance to the cave had remained unchanged since time immemorial, and their shovels could not make any impact on the wall, which was as hard as diamond.
This wasn't about perseverance at all; they simply couldn't manage to cause even the slightest damage to the walls of the tomb and alleyways.
So Yedan broke down, kneeling in the alley, enveloped by countless fine lines overhead but not threatened by them, and then wept bitterly.
"Master... let's go take a look in the dream world..."
"What's the use?! We're still stuck in this alley! We still can't find a way out, this is hell!"
Satan's dream was also in this alley, and it was no different from the enclosed nature of reality; it was indeed a place where there was no way out.
"But, but, we can take risks in dreams... can't we? Master, you can't possibly die in a dream, at most in reality... no, wait a minute, Master, have you noticed? After the first time, it's been unchanging since then, you can't die, can you? You haven't felt hungry at all!"
Satan's sudden epiphany came just in time, allowing Yedan, who no longer wanted to live, to wipe away his tears, stand up forcefully, and seem to have thought of something in his daze.
"Yes, yes...you're right, but let's try entering the dream world first, we can't just try it rashly..."
So they entered the dream, pulling several puppets into it through the pupils of each other.
He then returned to the tomb and, seeing the same place where he couldn't leave, decided to conduct an experiment.
"Let them die...let them start down this path."
So they explored again. Unlike before, this time only one puppet went in, while the rest stayed at a distance. The chosen puppet walked while standing, and because of its height, half of its head, which was different in size from the driver's, was cut off.
His incomplete corpse crashed down in front of Yedan, splattering blood all over Yedan's face and body.
He merely wiped his face indifferently, then kicked away the head at his feet and walked quickly forward.
Finally, he returned to the cave entrance, and after a moment's blur, he saw the dead puppet come back to life, standing in front of him and the other four puppets, ready to receive all instructions.
Even their formation was exactly the same as before their second operation.
"So...ever since the first exploration, nothing in the alley and the tomb can possibly change, not even the dead can be resurrected..."
"So... it's the same for me. I won't die either. Even if... even if I die here, when I open my eyes, I'll still be in this formation, right?"
"Yes."
"But what's the use of that?"
The three-headed, six-armed being was speechless.
...Yedan is still in the dream, but having reached a conclusion, he leaves the dream.
But suddenly they discovered that the world outside the dream, just like the world inside the dream, had returned to the same forward march as before.
However, before entering the dream world, he was lying in the alley waiting to die, and did not return to the tomb.
"So... this influence from the alleyway is also reflected in the dream? Dream experiences can also be mirrored in reality? What kind of place is this?"
Even Satan was a bit dumbfounded; this place was completely outside the realm of normal understanding.
However, it also had a different idea; it saw an exciting hope.
"Master... my ability has completely different effects in reality and in dreams. I can use wish fulfillment!"
