His short, curly gray-green hair was all wet. His forehead was covered in sweat, and his cheeks were pale.
This was what Angor saw when he found Sunders.
When Sunders noticed Angor's arrival, he cast a Cleanse spell to remove the sweat on his forehead.
"You're here?" Sunders summoned a chair and asked Angor to sit down. "Are you ready to leave?"
"I might need to stay here for a while," said Angor as he glanced at the glass bottle on the table.
The bottle was empty. At the same time, Angor sensed a familiar aura coming from it.
"A Twisting Protozoa?" Angor looked at Sunders. Sunders' expression was normal, but his face was still pale. "You went to the Nightmare Realm, professor?"
Sunders lowered his head and nodded. "Yes, I went there for some reasons."
"Something about Greya?"
Sunders nodded. "Yes. I used a Twisting Protozoa that contained Greya's soul energy and went to the Nightmare Realm where she lost her body. I want to locate the Nightmare Realm again. "
Sunders remained silent for a while. His eyes were deep and lifeless as if he was recalling something.
"What happened next?" Angor asked.
Sunders shook his head. "I … I don't remember."
Forgot? Sunders continued, "I only remember that I reached a dark intersection. My memory was automatically blocked. I can't remember anything else. "
The Nightmare Realm was full of strange things. Sunders' memories were blocked several times when he entered the Nightmare Realm. However, the blocked memories were mostly about important objects, such as Singularity Dispersive Meditation, which he could not remember or bring out, or some letters or books he read in the Nightmare Realm.
This time, what was a little unexpected was that it wasn't the memory of any object that was blocked, but his entire experience was blocked.
Before his memory was blocked, he was still walking on a long, dark path.
Something must have happened after that intersection.
Maybe he encountered a battle or saw something important. Either way, he could not remember anything. The last part of his memory was in a dark space. Sunders could feel wind moving around him, which meant it was not an enclosed space.
However, Sunders was panicking as if he was about to face a great terror, so he used the Twisting Protozoa and returned to reality.
"I don't know what happened between the intersection and the final pitch-black space. My memory of the entire experience has been blocked." "But I have not forgotten that 'feeling'. Panic, fear, fear … all these feelings are still in my mind." Sunders' eyes were filled with complicated emotions as he continued, "But I did not forget that 'feeling'.
Sunders felt cold sweat all over his body when he recalled those feelings. One could imagine that something extremely terrifying must have happened at that time.
Angor's hair stood on end as well. He felt a chill down his spine.
Even though Sunders had entered the Nightmare Realm many times, each time he did so, he was always on tenterhooks.
The Nightmare Realm was just too creepy.
"Maybe" Sunders looked at Angor's eyes.
Angor's Nightmare Form was very powerful. If he could remember Singularity Dispersive Meditation, then the memory block would not affect him much.
"But you've just broken through. It's dangerous for you to go to the Nightmare Realm where Greya lost her body. But once you've stabilized your strength, you can try exploring the outermost area of the Nightmare Realm. "
Of course, Angor would only do that if the Queen of Stitches did not come after him again. He would have to go to the Nightmare Realm next time to test it out.
"Let's talk about the Nightmare Realm later. Back to the topic. You said you're going to stay in Dark Castle for now. Why?"
Angor followed Sunders' words and did not ask about the Nightmare Realm. Instead, he told Sunders about Flower Sparrow's answer.
"I see," Sunders nodded. Sunders nodded. "I didn't think they'd actually come up with something like that."
"Yes. That means she's going to stay in Dark Castle."
Sunders nodded. He did not comment on Flower Sparrow's decision.
"But Flower Sparrow offered me a deal," Angor said. "That's why I'm here, sir. I'm not sure about it."
Under Sunders' gaze, Angor told Sunders about his conversation with Flower Sparrow.
"… No doubt about it. Flowey must be referring to the dream wasteland. I don't mind bringing Bobota into the dream wasteland, but I'm worried that the dream wasteland will be exposed to the eyes of a powerful demon god. "
Sunders considered for a moment. "I can't say for sure. But I remember a wizard once did a study on the influence of a demon god on his or her followers, and he did some comparative experiments. Maybe they can give you some ideas."
Angor was speechless. Someone did that?
Sunders noticed Angor's confusion and explained, "Wizards live for a long time, and it's not uncommon for them to study all kinds of strange subjects. This topic was no longer that unpopular. However, anyone who gets involved with a demon god's work will not end well. That researcher ended up being targeted by a demon god, and … well, let's not talk about it. "
Angor recalled the time when he followed Sunders to the Valley of Souls to see Ness, Ness was also studying something about sex.
Speaking of which, Sunders briefly explained the wizard's research to Angor.
Believers of demon gods could be found all over the general planes. It was impossible for them to pay attention to everyone. They would only pay more attention to the potential seeds. However, before these seeds turned their potential into actual strength, they would not be valued too much by demon gods.
So how did the demon gods value their believers? The answer was the oath they took when offering sacrifices.
If a believer's oath was to sacrifice everything to the demon god, the believer would be completely transparent to the demon god. The demon god would know everything about the believer, including everything about the believer's ancestral root.
In other words, as long as the believer offered his or her everything, even his or her consciousness, the demon god would be able to find it.
If a believer's oath was to offer his or her soul so that his or her soul would return to the demon world upon death … In this case, the demon god would not know much about the believer.
Of course, if the demon god wanted to check the believer's memories, he or she would be able to find out about the believer's secrets. However, it would be impossible for the demon god to find something that had nothing to do with the believer's soul.
In conclusion, whether or not taking in Bobota would expose the dream wasteland to the Demon God depended on what kind of oath Bobota had sworn when he made the sacrifice.
If the oath Bobota chose was not a complete sacrifice, then there was still room for negotiation.
However, Bobota must not reveal anything about the dream wasteland to the demon god before his or her death.
Otherwise, the demon god would still be able to find out about Bobota's soul. Only when Bobota's soul was completely cut off from his or her consciousness, allowing his or her consciousness to be brought into the dream wasteland and become a resident of the Dream Realm would he be able to avoid the demon god's prying eyes.
Of course, there might be some risks involved. But at this level, it was impossible to completely avoid them.
Still, Angor planned to visit the dream wasteland and discuss with Freud about how to view this matter from the perspective of a "dream".
Angor told Sunders about his idea, and Sunders nodded in agreement. Before Angor could return to his soundproof room, Sunders suddenly spoke.
"Oh, there's something else I haven't told you yet."
Angor turned around, expecting Sunders to tell him something about the relationship between the demon god and his believer.
"Earlier, when you were meditating in your soundproof room, Kimberly sent an apprentice to look for you."
"Miss Kimberly?" Angor frowned. "Is it about alchemy?"
"No. Someone from the R&D department is looking for you." Sunders gave Angor a strange look.
R&D department? Floating Mech City?
Angor was surprised. He just left Floating Mech City not long ago. Why would someone from the R&D department want to see him? And how did they know he was in Dark Castle?
"Who is it?" Angor asked out of curiosity.
"I don't know. They didn't come to Dark Castle. They used other methods to send messages. If you want to know more, you can ask Kimberly. "
Angor nodded.
He didn't know why the R&D department wanted to see him. But considering their loose rules, it shouldn't be anything important. Angor decided to go to the dream wasteland first.
