She noticed that these "humans" were also composed of bright blue spots like the fish. The fish did not attack them after they fell, but were startled and many small fish fled far away.
Are they afraid of humans?
Hitzfeld hesitated whether to find a small fish to test the danger, but she quickly gave up the idea because she remembered that the nightmare was not over yet, and there were other strange things after the person fell down.
Soon, the weirdness she had remembered came.
Another black shadow passed through the film, but this time the thing that descended was neither a human nor a fish, but rather had the characteristics of both.
That wasn't right either - Hitzfeld denied the thought - calling them fish would be an insult to fish.
The upper body still retains a human shape, but the lower body extending from the waist is not a fish tail, but a sparse, jagged strip of soft meat.
She couldn't quite describe what kind of limb it was. She said it didn't look like a tail, and she couldn't see what it was for. If she had to describe it, it was more like their lower body had turned into rotten flesh, and then the rotten stuff suddenly shrank and stretched.
Well, it looks a bit like a slug's tail.
The following scene was even more disgusting. After these things appeared, they immediately found all the people who fell into the water and began to "stick" to them enthusiastically.
They will use their strong arms to hold the drowning person tightly, wrap their tails around the person's legs, and then move their faces, which are barely visible, close to the person, and use their necks - or perhaps somewhere near their chins - to stick to the person's face.
The scene that Hitzfeld saw in her nightmare was not as clear as this time. She wanted to know what was going on, so she stuck her head out a little and stared at the sky with wide eyes like the vole.
It was no longer dark there. The world behind the film was like water waves with a faint blue light. It was under this light that she was sure she saw: those who were caught and fell into the water were being assimilated by these monsters.
The first part to be assimilated is the face where they are attached. The monsters will extend a strange fleshy organ from the junction of the neck and chin, and use this organ to pierce the flesh.
Hitzfeld was sure that this was not a transformation. The process was extremely crude and no sophisticated technology could be seen. If people had not really changed afterwards, she would even suspect that this was a mass murder.
Something is transforming the drowning man.
Those blue light people also struggled fiercely at the beginning, but soon, their skin bulged, their legs burst, and a lot of blood spread in the night sky, as if some invisible force was forcibly tampering with their bodies.
It's like kneading plasticine.
It was originally a human body, but was reshaped into that ugly shape.
Then the actual mating begins.
She saw that the transformed monster also had flesh buds extending from the side cheeks, and the flesh buds on both sides were entangled with each other, and their "tails" were also entangled with each other.
In a trance, she thought she saw genetic spirals filling the night sky.
She gradually became nervous because she clearly remembered who came in the last scene of this nightmare.
She wanted it to end, she wanted to wake up, but something unexpected happened at this moment - she felt something approaching, and when she turned around, she saw the ferocious shark's mouth wide open.
"Click!"
The teeth closed, but didn't bite anything. Hitzfeld floated to the second floor and continued to hide. He looked at the giant shark searching back and forth below, his chest heaving.
There should be no light coming in from this angle... How did it find me?
Her sight quickly fell on the blue light vole. She picked up the vole, looked at the x-mark, and a ridiculous guess came to her mind.
The effect of the Blue Flower spread to the wound, causing this thing to attract wandering spirits to come closer?
This is not normal.
Let’s take the dream world of a certain black agent as an example. The last time a group of them went in to spy, most of them relied on the first-person perspective.
Hitzfeld is a little different this time, as she relies on her own perspective, so the things in the dream interact with her in some way - this is possible and reasonable because she was there when the nightmare happened.
But it is very abnormal that things in dreams would also react to blue light voles.
It’s like you recorded a video from the past, and the things in that video actually react to you who are watching it... Isn’t this against cause and effect?
"There's only one possibility."
She raised her gaze again, through the night sky, through those "genetic spirals", to the bright blue film, staring at the world behind the film.
"That is not a nightmare. The so-called 'Spiritual Sea' is unique. As long as it manifests, it is 'real'."
Things get interesting.
She couldn't help but wonder whether the Spiritual Sea was really as she had originally thought, a specially opened secret realm of the Gods.
If so, then in theory, spirits can use it to jump through space.
It is not difficult to understand - here, Kuroki City is set as place a, and Dongquan Island is set as place b. It is known that there is a mysterious space c hidden around both of them. As long as you enter place c from place a, you can theoretically jump from place c to place b quickly.
Place c is the Linghai.
It is the destination that all the remaining souls and flying spirits desire.
Chapter 59: Shadows on the Seashore
Pfft!
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard something falling into the water, not caught by her hearing but more like falling into the lake of her heart.
Looking up, a woman with loose hair fell through the light film. Some wandering monsters nearby immediately swam towards that side at high speed - they only wanted humans, and had no requirements on the gender of humans.
Hitzfeld was furious. She didn't do the experiment to see this kind of thing. She quickly calculated the pros and cons and consequences of doing this in her mind, and finally couldn't help it. She reached out to touch the left eye and pulled out a slender ice needle from it.
"Whoosh-"
The monsters that rushed towards the woman who fell into the water suddenly stopped in the air. After another two or three seconds, their bodies exploded with a bang, like broken ice sculptures exploding into powder.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
The seal was lifted, and the ice needle swam happily in the night sky. All the spirits that dared to approach, whether they were healthy wandering spirits or disgusting wandering spirit monsters, were killed by it. Hitzfeld took advantage of this gap to swim up to the night sky and reached out to catch the woman.
Turning over, she revealed a charming face. The first thing she saw after opening her eyes was the person she had been thinking about day and night, so she couldn't help but murmured: "Am I having a sweet dream...?"
"It's not a sweet dream, it's a nightmare." Hitzfeld said to her with certainty.
Yes, this person is Xia Yibing. Strictly speaking, it is her spirit.
According to Hitzfeld's previous speculation, it was not incredible that Xia Yibing's spirit traveled thousands of miles to appear here. She even suspected that this nightmare was also driven by the other party's idea of "wanting to see herself" - the mysterious master must have done something with this.
"Am I really in a dream?" Xia Yibing woke up quickly, and then she felt something was wrong: "But I seem to have had this dream some time ago..."
She couldn't remember, just like most people. If she didn't have that particular nightmare, most of her other dreams would be forgotten as soon as she turned her head.
"That's me recreating the dream," Hitzfeld continued. "I used developer to replicate the dream. Obviously, this is not a dream but a ritual. Something wants to harm you and me."
"What is that?" Xia Yibing asked reflexively.
Hitzfeld did not answer.
The woman followed her gaze and looked around, realizing that the two of them seemed to be in the center of a storm.
All the blue light spirits went crazy. They rushed towards this side from all directions, but suddenly stopped when they were less than ten meters away, and their bodies exploded into ice powder after a few seconds.
The speed of the dead bone ice needle was too fast, and Xia Yibing could only see a passing afterimage. The afterimage finally floated back to the girl and was held in her hand, as if she were controlling it with her own arms. Seeing it, she was simply... relaxed and stunned.
Aisuen looks quite handsome like this...
"Wait." She seemed to be a little confused. She was not sure if this was a symptom unique to dreams, but she found the key to the problem anyway: "Are you the real Aisuen?"
Is it a real person, not just a figment of her imagination in a dream?
"I am a real person." Hitzfeld looked at her face, "not an illusion like them."
She had thought many times about how the two of them would meet again after their hearts were untied, but she had never expected it to be like this. There were even signs of this meeting a few days before.
Then, without waiting for her to explain anything, the woman hugged her tightly and sucked her hard a few times, just like Ashley sucked Lily.
"This scent and feeling are indeed real... Wow... Aisuen, I really miss you so much..."
Will people who have normal dreams but are not entered into dreams by spirits lose their IQ in their dreams?
Hitzfeld was not used to her change and tried to push her head away, but failed.
"Aren't you worried about those things?" She had no choice but to ask, "Aren't you afraid that I'm also fake, that I might be lying, that this might be a conspiracy against you, and that you're risking your life by sticking to me like this."
"Are you stupid?" Xia Yibing looked at her as if she was stupid. "Have you forgotten the connection we established in Longguo? Do you think I can't sense whether you are you or not?"
Hitzfeld was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it and it seemed to be true.
"As for these things..." The woman snorted coldly, stretched out her right hand and grasped it in the air. The next moment, white light exploded in the air, and the dazzling Changxia Light Sword was summoned out by her.
"Swish!" A snow-white bolt flew out diagonally, splitting the giant blue shark that was swooping down from the air into two.
"As long as I wake up, it will only take a few cuts."
Hitzfeld remained silent, and the silent one also released ice needles. The two began to cooperate in slaughtering these blue light wandering spirits, killing all those who were crazy enough to approach.
The blue field mouse huddled in the girl's arms and trembled. It suddenly discovered that the temporary support it had found seemed to be more terrifying than those enemies.
Especially after the ice needle appeared, its fur stood up. A sense of fear from the soul drove it to run away quickly.
Unfortunately, it was held in the girl's left hand and could not escape no matter how hard it struggled.
"How did Aisuen become so powerful?" Xia Yibing cut off another large wandering spirit, turned around and saw that Hitzfeld was killing faster than her.
It was quite fast. It took her 1-2 seconds from the time she swung the knife to the time the knife flew out and killed the target. But in 1-2 seconds, that strange ice needle could penetrate five fish.
The efficiency is quite low, and she gradually becomes anxious again - doesn't this mean that I am the one being protected by Aisuen?
Thinking of this, she stopped swinging the knife and just stood there staring at the girl in a daze.
"……Fool."
She heard the girl scolding her quietly.
"Give me your hand."
He obediently stretched out his hand and let him hold it.
"Swing the knife again and see."
Xia Yibing was stunned at first, then she showed a look of sudden realization, clenched Changxia tightly, felt it carefully, and slowly swung a knife into the void.
The blade of the Changxia Sword transformed at this moment. The bright white light converged and turned into a translucent outline that wrapped around the sword, vaguely like a crystal texture.
This ray of knife light was also very different from the previous one. It was thinner and longer, slashing diagonally and penetrating the bodies of multiple wandering spirits. Not only did it cut them smoothly, but the remaining spirits also quickly froze, and ice crystals exploded in the air.
And then - the ice crystal fragments blown away by the explosion penetrated more wandering spirits, pulling them to explode together.
It was like a chain bomb, she killed dozens of wandering spirits with just this one strike.
"This……"
Even though she was mentally prepared and knew the principle behind this, Xia Yibing was still shocked.
I do have this connection with Hitzfeld, and her power can be passed on to me and replenished in Changxia to strengthen it...
But this seems too exaggerated.
"It's like this for spirits." Hitzfeld commented, "Changxia's own lethality to spirits is very high. It's normal for it to have this kind of power after being strengthened by the ice needles."
"But its true evolution is in the real world. You should be able to use the ice blades outside, but the power will not be as strong as in the dream."
"Aisun..." Xia Yibing's eyes looked around the night sky.
While explaining, the girl did not give up killing, and the remaining wandering spirits were all killed by ice needles.
This kind of Hitzfeld made her feel a little strange.
"follow me."
Her wrist was pulled, and Xia Yibing only had time to let out a "ouch" before her body was pulled upstream, as if she had passed through a thin membrane.
where is this place?
After entering, all the blue lights disappeared. The surroundings looked like a real dream - the gray fog inside was rolling and surging, Xia Yibing had no idea where this place was and why Hitzfeld brought her here. She just felt that the girl was the only one who knew how to go - she kept pulling her in a straight line without any pause in between.
Then suddenly—they penetrated another layer of membrane.
After a brief trance, Xia Yibing quickly recognized that it was the western beach of Dongquan Island.
There was a large rock standing on the beach, which the agents jokingly called the "Resurrection Stone". She was sure she was not mistaken.
"It's time for you to go back."
Hitzfeld said to her.
"Be careful when you dream next time, don't come here."
"Aisun." Seeing that she wanted to leave and turn around to jump back into the sea, Xia Yibing quickly grabbed her hand and asked her seriously: "...What on earth happened to you?"
At this point, it was no longer the time to wonder whether she was Hitzfeld or not.
She just wanted to know what happened and how they finally met here. The girl only said these things and then went back.
