Chapter 375 The Starting Point of the Dream (5k chapter in )
Have you ever had a dream?
Yao Luo seldom had nightmares or sweet dreams, and he had never experienced such a thing as all kinds of power and strength flowing through his inhuman body.
But the day before the train was about to depart for the next stop, he had a dream of something indescribable.
"god".
At first, it was a scene of the beginning of the universe, upside down, gravity abnormal, everything was so blurry.
However, in this blur, Yao Luo saw a dazzling "halo" like water waves illuminating the entire universe.
In the halo, there are layers of rippling colors. The absolutely regular circles are like the embodiment of all the truth in the world, stirring in it, showing the supreme brilliance of billions and billions of stars blooming.
Looking down, a shadow that is difficult to measure with mortal standards, an indescribable "He", is sleeping in this halo.
"Harmony" Hippie.
He has three heads and one body, one body with many faces. The universe is His clothing, the stars are just pieces of the puzzle on His body, and all things are part of Him.
The open arms embrace the whole world, and the seemingly beautiful and peaceful face hides the silhouettes of the other two sides.
The moment His true appearance was reflected in Yao Luo's spiritual world, the grand, orderly "hymn" composed of countless lives, wills, spirits, independent and yet united as one, began to sing throughout the universe.
"The world is united, the stars shine together, and the supreme merits are praised by the Lord God!"
"All people are brothers, all things are of the same root, and the wind of blessing blows across the earth!"
The high-pitched singing voices spread across the worlds, round after round, as if there would never be an end. The dignified figure under the halo also seemed to never wake up.
"Is this, a dream? Or something else?"
Indescribable confusion appeared in Yao Luo's spiritual world. He was unable to resist everything in front of him and could only accept it passively.
His skin was extremely transparent, and countless tiny streams from nature flowed into his body, embracing Yao Luo in his arms amid the mighty singing.
Although he was conscious, Yao Luo could only watch the scene happening in front of him, and his spirit could not move at all. This was the first time since he came to this world.
Until the deepest part of Yao Luo's consciousness, several sources of the same star god power erupted, lighting up the stars in the darkness and shattering everything.
In a daze, Yao Luo saw the colored glaze of "memory", the azure of "hunting", and a touch of blood-red, which made him feel particularly unfamiliar.
He woke up.
"Yao Luo, Yao Luo, the conductor is calling us to a meeting! The next development is about to begin, are you there?"
Outside Yao Luo's room, Xing looked inside the door in confusion and knocked gently.
On March 7, Dan Heng, Ji Zi and Uncle Yang's rooms were in the first carriage, while her and Yao Luo's rooms were in the back carriage, so they were next to each other.
Normally, she had never seen Yao Luo being lazy, and it was always Yao Luo who woke her up...
"Ahem, come on, sometimes you need my help, Galaxy Batman, hehe."
Xing smiled confidently and was about to open the door, after all, she had been told the password to the room.
With a "swish" sound, the bright black color swallowed up the surrounding light like a black hole. The white lining without a single wrinkle was dotted with eye-catching blue. Those were exactly the clothes Yao Luo wore when he first arrived at the space station.
"Oh? Why are you suddenly wearing this? It makes me feel nostalgic."
There was three parts of regret and seven parts of nostalgia in Xing's words. Thinking back to the time when he and Yao Luo were killing everyone in the space station, it was only less than a year ago, but Xing felt as if it was a lifetime ago.
“Sometimes you have to miss your past self.”
Yao Luo rubbed his brows, adjusted the golden train ticket on his chest, temporarily suppressed the emotions in his dream, and began to think about what he had to do today.
After many days, the train has finally completed all preparations for the "leap" and can head to the next development location.
So Pam notified each passenger one by one a few days ago and prepared to discuss the development matters today.
"Didn't you sleep well? Did you stay up late playing games last night?"
The two walked side by side in the corridor. Xing held the back of his head with his hands, and watched Yao Luo's eyes twitching from time to time, feeling extremely curious.
After all, after Yao Luo came back from Yalilo VI, let alone being injured, Xing had never even seen any negative emotions such as panic or worry on Yao Luo's face. He was so perfect that he didn't even look like a human being.
And today's appearance gave him a slightly more real feeling.
He would also feel tired and distressed. In short, this change made Xing feel nostalgic.
"The conductor will speak soon. Do you want to lie down on the reclining chair on the train and take a nap? I can repeat what the conductor says to you!"
Looking at the smirk on Xing's face, Yao Luo knew that he had no good intentions, and said unhappily.
"Come on, then I guess you'll ask San Yue Qi to secretly take photos and then sell them to some shady customers, right?"
"So, that's right?! Am I the kind of person who would harm my friends?"
Xing denied it with a slightly shocked look in her eyes, then quickly turned her head away and whistled in a clumsy manner.
After all, similar things have happened before. Just like Ji Zi's photos can be sold for a good price in the space station, Yao Luo's photos can also be sold for a sky-high price in Yalilo VI.
"Okay, I'm fine, let's go."
Ignoring Xing Keai's sophistry, Yao Luo pushed open the door of the observation car and walked into the group of people who were discussing.
"You're late, Passenger Yao Luo Pa."
The train conductor Pam stood among the crowd. At this time, Pam's figure looked particularly majestic.
With his hands on his hips, his two pairs of big ears drooped, and the smooth fur looked very nice to the touch. Yao Luo resisted the urge to grab some and greeted the others.
"It's rare. I didn't expect Yao Luo would be unpunctual one day."
Ji Zi responded gently, without much blame. After all, the atmosphere on the train was warm and harmonious, and everyone treated each other like family. This was why Yao Luo was willing to stay on the train.
"Ahem, now that everyone is here, I'll repeat it again."
Pam adjusted the conductor's hat on her head, and her big blue eyes observed the physical and mental conditions of every passenger.
"The destination of our next journey, Pinocchio's jump preparations, are ready to depart at any time."
"But before we set off, as the conductor, I have a few things I'd like you to know."
It was rare to see Pam look serious, and Yao Luo immediately knew that it must be related to the previous passengers of the Starry Sky Train.
Pam was known to remember every passenger on the train, good or bad, no matter how long they were on the train.
Although there are always separations in life, Pam is always there whenever I return to the train.
"First, we are about to go to the next stop, the star of the party - "Pinocone"."
"Pinoconi's Asdena is a galaxy filled with memetic matter. Historically, it was one of the "big holes" that leaked from the memory domain. Although thousands of years have passed, the concentration of memetic matter ahead is still higher than the average. "
"Memory quality?"
Yao Luo raised his hand, and the light and transparent memory appeared in his hand like breath, sometimes condensing into snowflakes, sometimes turning into clouds and mist, and he could wave it around and control it freely.
Everyone's attention was instantly attracted. Indeed, although they did not get along as well as the people in the car owner group, they did not forget Yao Luo's identity.
"Oh, that's right. Yao Luo is the envoy of "Memory". Doesn't that mean we can walk around Pinocchio freely?"
Xing tapped her hands and her eyes rolled around, as if many ideas were pouring out of her little head.
"Haha, if you want, it's not impossible to let you fly the whole time."
Yao Luo tapped Xing's head lightly and spoke gently.
"Don't even think about using my abilities to commit crimes, or Uncle Yang and I will have to go back to the family to rescue you."
"Ouch, I know, I know, stop hitting my head."
Everyone laughed. The feeling of having an envoy by your side to provide support is something that few forces can truly understand.
"Well, we need to be wary of dangerous ideas like Star Passenger, which is also the second point I want to mention."
Pam gave them a serious reminder, explaining why they needed to be careful. "Second, Pinocchio is the territory of the "Tongxie" family, and this is the first time the family has publicly invited other factions. Remember, the train is invited as a guest, and the rules must be followed."
Everyone nodded. Even though they were confident, this trip was a relaxing and entertaining one after all, and the nameless guest was not a troublemaker.
So as long as there is no danger, they will naturally not do anything outside the rules and cause conflicts.
"The power of harmony..."
Yao Luo was silent for a moment, the dream he had last night was still vivid in his mind. Although Pinoconi is a world made up of "memories", over the years no memorizer has been able to cause trouble in the family's territory.
This means that the family's management over the years has given it an extraordinary control over Pinocchio, and it is not something that ordinary forces can shake.
Although it has been repeatedly emphasized that the trip to Pinocchio is a relaxing and enjoyable one, all signs indicate that the depth of the "water" may be even more dangerous than when they were in the Immortal Boat Alliance.
Therefore, Yao Luo must not take it lightly.
The company, the family, Liuguang Yiting, the Sea Patrol Ranger, the Masked Fool, the Annihilation Gang, and I heard that the Xianzhou Alliance was also invited, but the alliance did not accept this invitation.
With representatives of these heavyweight forces gathered together, Yao Luo would not find it strange even if the entire planet exploded on the first day of the banquet.
"The third one, well, it's not really a request. Pam wants to make an unreasonable request."
"coming."
Yao Luo noticed that Pam looked a little embarrassed, and her two round little hands were rubbing together, which was very cute.
"If possible, I hope you can spare some time during your vacation to help find out the news about these 'nameless guests'."
Ji Zi also gave auxiliary explanations on the side. It turned out that many years ago, Pinocchio was also a station where the "trail blazer" train had stopped.
Three unknown visitors once regarded this place as the final stop of their journey. Although they didn't hold out much hope, Pam still asked them to pay attention to relevant information.
Yao Luo wrote down their names one by one. He had a hunch that this information might be important in the next adventure.
They are: Guard Tiernan, Mechanic Lagwok, and Surveyor Lazarina.
"Ah, just a name? And it might not be a real name? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
March 7th seemed a little distressed. After all, Pam rarely made too many demands on other passengers and she always did her best, so everyone on the train took Pam's request very seriously.
"It's up to fate. Considering the diversity of the Nameless Guest, we might be able to find their descendants, or even have a very small chance of meeting the "real person". "
Ji Zi smiled and comforted everyone, saying that a journey is a journey, and even if they carry all kinds of "baggage" on their shoulders, they cannot let the luggage become a burden on the journey.
So she didn't have high expectations and just asked everyone to enjoy the invitation.
After Pam finished talking about the precautions, she gave some common instructions and asked everyone to pack their luggage. After all, when they arrived at the family’s territory, it would not be as convenient as on the train.
While everyone was apart, Yao Luo told Ji Zi and Walter about his dream last night.
"You mean, you dreamed of the star god Xi Pei of Tongxie, and it was very real?"
Ji Zi and Walter did not just laugh off Yao Luo's words, but took it seriously like a real parent.
After all, if an ordinary person has such a dream, at most it means that he is not in a good mood, and he will even praise it as a good dream.
But when it comes to Yao Luo, it seems extremely unusual.
"Pinocone is the family's domain. Perhaps your ability of "memory" resonates with the planet itself."
Walter's face was serious and he made a reasonable guess, and Jizi temporarily agreed with this point of view.
"Normally speaking, there won't be any major problems with Pinocchio's memory quality, but everyone's physical condition is different, and different situations may occur. Yaoluo passengers, please be careful, ah."
Pam was knowledgeable and gave Yao Luo serious instructions. Yao Luo also took the opportunity to stroke the conductor's big ears a few times, which caused Pam to be dissatisfied.
"Haha, no matter what difficulties we face, as long as we work together, we will be able to face them."
"Ah."
Yao Luo nodded. Although the uneasy feeling in his heart still did not dissipate, he was relieved after all. After all, the other people on the train were worthy of his trust.
"10, 9, 8, 7..."
After packing the luggage, the announcement of Pam's preparation for the jump sounded from the radio. Yao Luo and Xing sat together on the large and soft red recliners, quietly waiting for the arrival of the jump.
"3, 2, 1!"
In the starry sky, the moving train turned into a flash of light in the void. The power of "opening up" destiny tore a rift in the imaginary energy, drawing a dazzling track in the vast starry sky.
At the moment of space migration, Yao Luo, who had experienced previous jumps, should have felt very familiar, but for some reason, he had a strange... sense of déjà vu?
Just like the scene before him, it had happened to him thousands of times. Before his consciousness could react, his body's instinct responded.
His arms instinctively swung forward, and an eight-sided Han sword flashing with colorful light appeared in his hands. Yao Luo recognized that it was the power of "memory" in his body.
"thumping!"
The space changed suddenly. At this moment, Yao Luo felt that under his feet was a vast and boundless space of consciousness. The original place where he stood turned into a bottomless ocean.
In the distance, a huge void filled the entire space, continuously sucking everything into it.
And in front of him was a woman he had never met before, but who made him feel like he had seen her before.
Her long white hair went past her waist, her graceful figure and sharp temperament made her extraordinary at first glance. In this black and white space, she was the only one.
The blood-red crystal was attached to her right hand like an arm armor, and what she held in her hand was a shining "red" in this black and white space.
It was a samurai sword, a blade that brought "death".
Her eyes were so complex, so complex that even Yao Luo could not understand the emotions contained in them.
All I saw was a line of blood and tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.
[Yao Luo, please rest in peace. You are not yet able to "wake up".]
The woman's voice is very pleasant, like the sound of an orchid in a valley, or like a song echoing in the endless darkness.
Before Yao Luo could come to his senses, the sparks from the collision of swords echoed throughout the space.
The speed at which this woman swung her sword was something Yao Luo had never heard of before, as if it could even surpass time.
Yao Luo instinctively wanted to stop it, but a lot of information appeared in front of him, making him hesitate for less than one ten-thousandth of a second.
But at this moment, the blood-red blade passed over Yao Luo's sword, and the figure of the woman appeared behind Yao Luo.
A huge sword shadow crossed the entire sky. The ocean beneath his feet and the black hole in the distance shattered together, witnessing this unrivaled sword.
Faster than light, quicker than lightning, this woman's strength surpassed almost everyone Yao Luo had ever met before.
The blade gently passed across Yao Luo's throat, as if there was no pain.
Beautiful flowers spread from the wound, blocking Yao Luo's vision and turning everything into black and white.
Yao Luo's body fell down, but he did not feel any loss or pain.
Watching his own blood staining the pool water and everything around him being swallowed by darkness, Yao Luo actually felt a long-lost sense of "security".
Because Yao Luo still had one thing he hadn't explained to Ji Zi and Walter.
After waking up from last night's dream, the "song" that resounded throughout the universe did not disappear. Instead, it lingered in his mind like a maggot in his femur.
But now, the song that was resounding in my mind was also cut off by the knife light!
Yao Luo looked at the woman, and she also looked at Yao Luo. She seemed to say something, but Yao Luo could no longer hear it.
【………】
On the street of Pinocchio, an elegant woman's expression suddenly changed, and she took out a few glittering divination cards from the air with a solemn look.
Among them, the largest and most shining card is slowly...
dissipate.
