Chapter 201 Dreaming


    “………………”


    I have to say that it is indeed a bit embarrassing to sit like this in a dilapidated house in the storm.


    Everyone sat together, while the woman in a red cloak sat on the other side, just looking at them without saying a word.


    "Are you planning to go to the castle too? This lady?"


    Mistrina broke the silence first and looked at the woman with a smile and asked, while the other party trembled and shrank.


    "No...I''m just a coward...I dare not..."


    As he spoke, the woman lowered her head.


    “…Everyone was caught.”


    “???”


    Everyone was stunned when they heard the woman''s conversation at a loss, and the woman just stared at the bonfire and whispered.


    "The people who came to the junction with me, and the hands, feet, and heads that fought for me... were all cut off and turned into part of a spider."


    "Well………"


    “Woo…”


    “Ah…”


    Although she didn''t know what she was saying, the content alone made the girls look blue. Mistrina looked confused and didn''t know how to say it. Lorena was also confused. Bambi screamed in fright and crawled into Duanmu Huai''s arms. Seeing this scene, Aoji Si thought for a moment, then put down the book in her hand and also fell into Duanmu Huai''s arms.


    However, the woman didn''t care about this. She just raised her head and looked at everyone with her breathless eyes.


    "Do you know? After being picked up on a spider, people will look like insect pupa? It''s really amazing, right?"


    "That... is quite amazing."


    Imagining the body of a huge spider with the body of a person whose limbs and head were cut off, Duanmu Huai''s face also twitched. Is there something like this in the castle they are going to next?


    If this is the case, it would be really disgusting.


    “Hahaha……”


    The woman chuckled. Her appearance made Duanmu Huai feel a little like Alzheimer''s disease. Her eyes stared at the front without focal length, and she looked at nothing, but seemed to be looking at nothing. Although she raised her head and was facing Duanmu Huai and others, the woman''s eyes seemed to penetrate them and she looked directly at the void behind them.


    "Are you moving towards Stoneville City? Is it because you believe the good words of the White Mask? Or do you want to become part of a spider? If so, it''s the same as me."


    "Uh... this lady, do you want to become that...sex?"


    Hearing this, Lorena couldn''t help asking, and her inquiry seemed to pierce the pain in the woman''s heart. She lowered her head, looked at the ground, and muttered to herself.


    "But I don''t have the courage - it''s so scary to be cut off your hands and feet and your head. I really want to be the same as everyone else, but I''m so scared. I''m so cowardly."


    Well, this is still a common sense person.


    Or, normal people won’t accept that kind of limb retardation.


    “Ah, by the way.”


    At this time, the woman seemed to hear something. She lowered her head, then took out a small bottle from her arms and handed it to Duanmuhuai.


    "Can you ask you to travel with this child? It''s so pitiful to ask her to accompany me so cowardly..."


    "What''s this?"


    Duanmuhuai took the small glass bottle and took a look. It seemed that there was some kind of dust inside. At the same time, his system also made prompts.


    [Acquiring the special item "Soul Jellyfish''s Ashes"]


    [Ashes of the soul jellyfish: The ashes of the soul are boarded, which can summon the soul jellyfish, float in the air, illuminating the souls around. The crying girl jellyfish is looking for a distant hometown and will try to spew out venom. The girl jellyfish is named Kulala]


    Jellyfish? Girl? soul?


    How should this thing be used?


    Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai thought for a while, then held the glass bottle tightly and injected a trace of spiritual energy. Soon, a huge jellyfish quietly emerged out of thin air, emitting purple light, and was suspended in the air, with gentle tentacles dancing slowly, looking very beautiful.


    “Wow, so beautiful!”


    Seeing this jellyfish, Bambi immediately came out of Duanmu Huai''s arms and stared at it with wide eyes. Lorena also looked at the soul jellyfish in front of her curiously, and gently stretched out her hand. The soul jellyfish seemed to understand what Lorena meant, and also stretched out its tentacles and touched Lorena''s fingers.


    "It''s really cute, Lord Knight."


    “It’s quite cute.”


    Duanmuhuai also stretched out his hand and poked the jellyfish in front of him. The latter shook slightly, and then returned to Duanmuhuai''s side again. Although it is a jellyfish, it is so beautiful and shiny, and it is already a very cute pet.


    Look, there are still pets.


    Looking at the soul jellyfish in front of him, Duanmu Huai was in a good mood. Didn’t he say before that he would catch a small animal as a pet sooner or later. Now, I’m not here? This soul jellyfish is also quite cute, right?


    "Thank you, this lady."


    Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also bowed to the woman, and the latter waved his hand.


    "It''s okay, and the soul likes you very much. I think this kid will be happy with you."


    "Anyway, I still have to thank you... I wonder if there is anything we can do for you?"


    "That''s the case..."


    Hearing Duanmuhuai’s inquiry, the woman hesitated and thought for a while.


    "If you are going to Stoneville City, please help convey it to everyone who has become a pupa: I love you, although I am still very scared, but sooner or later I will become exactly the same as everyone else... I am finally less afraid of pain."


    Hearing the woman''s words, everyone was speechless, and Duanmu Huai had to nod. After receiving Duanmu Huai''s answer, the woman seemed to be relieved. Then she bowed to everyone, curled up in the corner next to her, closed her eyes and fell asleep.


    Looking at the sleeping woman, everyone didn''t know what to say for a moment.


    "King, you won''t really tell those people..."


    “Let’s talk about the situation.”


    Faced with Lorena''s inquiry, Duanmuhuai also grabbed her hair helplessly.


    "Just listening to her, I think there will be no good things in Stoneville City... In short, let''s take a break first."


    Soon, everyone fell deeply into sleep, while Duanmu Huai sat in place, staring in front of him. At this moment, suddenly, Aojisi''s voice sounded.


    "Owner."


    "Huh? What''s wrong? Ojis?"


    "What does it feel like to hurt...?"


    “Oh…ah…”


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai realized that Aojisi was a doll and would not feel pain. For her, no matter whether she was removing her limbs or her head, she probably didn''t feel this way. Perhaps it was the fear that the woman had when she was engaging in the limbs before that aroused Aojis'' curiosity, so she had this idea.


    "What... what should I say? For ordinary living organisms, pain is an instinctive manifestation. If you are hurt, you will feel pain, and pain will remind you that there is danger here..."


    “……???”


    Hearing Duanmu Huai''s words, Aojisi still looked at him with unimaginable eyes, which made Duanmu Huai not know how to explain for a moment.


    It''s like you explaining colors to a blind man and telling him what blue is and what red is, he can''t imagine it.


    Or if she asked herself what it felt like to breathe, Duanmuhuai might not be able to answer.


    "Do you still remember Jae Wei?"


    "…………Um."


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s inquiry, Aojisi''s expression sank slightly and she nodded.


    "How do you feel when you think of her?"


    "I have no idea."


    As Aojis said, he reached out and placed his hand on his chest.


    "I just feel that something is strange here, and I seem to have become weak, don''t want to move, don''t want to think about it..."


    “That’s called sadness.”


    Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and touched Aojisi''s head.


    "This will happen when people feel sad. How did you feel when your father passed away?"


    "It''s similar to Javi at that time, but it seems... stronger."


    Speaking here, Ojis frowned slightly.


    "It''s even stronger...it feels like the whole body is torn apart...it''s an indescribable feeling..."


    “That’s pain.”


    "But, am I not injured?"


    "That''s a mental pain, and it''s almost the same as a physical pain."


    "So that''s it, that''s pain..."


    Ojisi pressed her chest and murmured to herself, then she leaned against Duanmu Huai.


    "But...this way, it feels much better."


    As he spoke, Aojis closed his eyes.


    "Please let me stay like this for a while, okay? Master?"


    "Of course, have some rest."


    Duanmuhuai touched Aojisi''s hair, then leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.


    The deep darkness is as smooth as silk, with a soft touch.


    When Duanmuhuai opened his eyes again, he was not wearing clothes, but lay on a bed, beside him, a white shadow was hugging him.


    “Ah…my king…”


    There was only one light in the dim room, and the soft touch came, mixed with the woman''s gentle breathing and whispering, which appeared in Duanmuhuai''s ears.


    "Please let me hug you tightly and feel your warmth...My king...I can feel your power, the power full of destruction and death... Please wake up...become our..."


    The voice gradually faded away, and the next moment, Duanmu Huai fell into a deep sleep again.
