"Turn back!" "Don't go any further!"
The pompom was still flying on the seemingly endless path. At this point, the natural cracks and marks on the ground had turned into long straight lines.
They looked like the actions of a living creature, and a little further ahead, these lines began to form words, the language of God.
These words only expressed one meaning: 'Leave this place', there was no other word.
Lin started flying from the place where she saw the words. After flying for about ten kilometers, the words started appearing every few meters, but now they were as dense as a swarm of insects.
They were densely packed on the ground, all telling Lin to leave quickly, and the 'tone' of the words also became more impatient.
For example, there were a lot of 'Scram!', 'Idiot! Why are you looking for death! 'and so on.
There were also a lot of 'swear words' in God's language, which seemed to be written specifically to insult the creatures that passed through here.
However, if a creature could reach this place, it must be able to resist fear, so what was the use of these insults?
The pompom continued flying, trying to find an answer.
Perhaps due to the limited space on the ground, although Lin found that there were more and more words on the ground, they became smaller and smaller.
Most of the words 9 ≠ were the same, but Lin ignored them and continued flying forward …
Let's see what will happen if this continues.
Lin continued forward for a while. From the beginning until now, she had traveled about 500 kilometers. The words on the ground continued. However, they changed from asking Lin to return to some strange words.
For example, 'Why?' There were also 'What do you want?' and so on, which became a lot of questions.
Obviously, the creature that 'created' this path didn't want other creatures to pass through here, but Lin felt that there might be a way to answer these questions.
With that in mind, Lin had the pompom extend its fur and draw on the ground. Although the words here were densely packed, there was still a small space between them.
And so. The pompom wrote very small words in between them: "Who are you?"
It seemed that it was easy to draw on the ground here, and the pompom easily wrote this word … Then, Lin looked to see what kind of reaction it would have.
… There was no reaction.
The words written by the pompom were right there, and Lin felt that if the words on the ground were written by a creature because of Lin's arrival, then Lin should have some kind of reaction when communicating with it.
But … from the looks of it, the words on the ground might have been written a long time ago.
With that in mind, Lin began to move forward …
The dense text on the ground became fewer and fewer as the pompom moved forward, and the vocabulary changed as well. There were words such as' why are you doing this … ',' what you are doing will not continue … ', and so on.
Slowly, these words disappeared. What appeared in front of Lin was … a smooth road.
This time, the road looked as if it had been polished and looked quite smooth. There were no traces at all. These things here were really interesting. Because the path was constantly changing, moving around here was not boring.
But how much longer would they have to advance?
… Lin still hadn't found the answer even after walking for almost a thousand kilometers.
The smooth road seemed to continue on without any changes. Since that was the case, he decided to look at something else, such as the soldiers.
After thinking for a while, he woke up.
Now, those soldiers were still in a dream. Generally speaking, if one stayed in a place of extreme fear for too long, not only would they go crazy, but they would also suffer from brain damage.
However, Lin later found out that they did not go crazy and their brains did not suffer from brain damage. So, he continued to let them stay.
After these soldiers entered the dreamland, they entered a special 'space'.
Just as Lin had speculated, the scene the soldiers saw was different from what Lin saw. They did not see the long road, but rather another scene.
The scene they saw seemed to 'enrich' according to the time they stayed in the dream. That was why Lin let them stay in the dream for so long.
Now, let's take a look at the mind of one of the soldiers … … what kind of environment was it? Perhaps he could obtain some useful information from it.
He did not directly enter the dream to observe it. Instead, he observed the soldier's memories. That way, he would be able to see what he experienced during this period.
Lin looked at the first soldier's memories … …
"… … this … … what did I do … …"
After entering the dream, the soldier's first memory was of him being in an alley.
At the end of the alley, there was a creature lying there. The creature's body was bleeding blue blood and there were many holes in its armour. It looked like it had been shot by a weapon.
The soldier stood before the creature that had been shot. Its whole body was trembling, filled with fear.
After that, the surrounding scene instantly changed. They were now inside a building. This building … … seemed to be a place called … … 'Court of Justice'.
"It seems you killed your friend by mistake." In the middle of the court, there was a huge creature with a height of eight meters. It seemed to be the main character in charge of the trial. It said to the soldier before it, "Because your brain was parasitized, your actions … … are not considered a crime. You can go and receive treatment."
After saying that, the surrounding scene changed into a white room. The soldier was in the corner of the room. He was filled with sadness … …
"Why … … why … …" He kept repeating.
After some time, Lin found that the surroundings had changed back into an alley. The scene from before was repeated.
So that's how it is … …
Lin then looked at the soldier's other memories. The scene just now was mainly something that happened to him in the past. Back then, his brain was parasitized by some kind of creature. That was why he killed one of his companions by mistake.
He had always been concerned about this incident because it seemed to be the one thing that affected him the most in his life. This might be the reason why he saw these scenes in the dream.
Then, Lin looked at the other soldiers' memories … …
Their situations were basically the same. These soldiers were all immersed in some kind of sad memory. A few of them were about the death of their comrades. However, there were two that were more unique. One of them was only sad because he was scolded by his superior, while the other was sad because he accidentally broke an expensive item that he bought with great difficulty.
Because they did not have any more sad memories, these were the saddest memories for them.
However … … there was one soldier that was the most unique. He was not trapped in his sadness.
"Those are all illusions to deceive me! I won't be scared by these illusions! "
Now, Lin could see him at the beginning of the path in the dream. He had broken free from his sad illusion and was walking on the main path.
Lin did not expect that one of these soldiers could break free from that state. If that was the case, the other creatures who had entered the state of sadness could also break free. Did this mean that they could complete the path? Lin suddenly had a feeling that this sad memory was a 'trial' or something … … But in reality, that was not very likely.
Although this soldier had broken free, he did not seem to be in a very good state.
Lin was currently observing him. He was constantly moving forward, but his speed was getting slower and slower … …
"Where does this lead to … …"
Fear reverberated in his mind. Looking at the path in front of him, the soldier was also quite afraid … …
"Ah!!!" Suddenly, the soldier screamed. He sped up and ran forward.
The ball of fur chased after him. The soldier was currently running as fast as he could, but with his speed, it would take him a very long time to reach the other ball of fur that had already reached the depths of the forest.
It seemed that observing him here would not reveal anything special … … After running for a while, the soldier seemed to feel tired and sat down to rest.
Lin woke up and checked his brain. She found that his brain was not exhausted. Even if he ran for a few more pompom, he would still be able to run for days and nights.
In other words, this place made him feel tired, but not really tired.
It seemed that this path had many strange feelings, but they were all 'negative feelings' that prevented creatures from moving forward.
If that was the case … …
"What is this path? Where does it lead to? "
Lin decided to ask the creature involved — — the mayor.
"What did you say? You can see the path in my mind? " The mayor had been trying to use fear to drive Lin away. He had been motionless as if he was dead, but when Lin asked the question, he suddenly became surprised. "How can that be?"
"It's just … …" Lin then told him a little about the path.
The mayor was very shocked by Lin's description. He did not seem to know about this at all … …
It did not feel like he was faking it. Although the mayor was not a cellular creature, the way he expressed his emotions was almost the same as a cellular creature.
Since it didn't know, they could only continue walking and see what would happen ….
Just like that, a period of time passed.
For a better test, Lin brought the mayor back to Kraken. It was not difficult to move him out of the city. The soldiers who were tested also stayed. Except for the one who unlocked the sad memory, Lin also brought him back to Kraken to see what would happen to him.
At the same time, Lin decided to contact other possible 'insiders'. Floating astronomy.
