The first thing Angor did after logging off was to look around.
After a while, he finally saw the rabbit girl hiding in the shadows under a huge tree branch, silently squatting there.
The rabbit girl looked a little absent-minded. There was no light in her eyes, as if her mind had gone into her own small world.
It wasn't until Gleipnir walked up to the rabbit girl with his walking stick that she raised her head in a daze.
She took a long time to focus her eyes in the backlight. When she finally saw Gleipnir's figure, she came back to her senses.
Two minutes later, under Gleipnir's guidance, the bunny girl finally left the shadows and came to them.
Maybe it was because of Angor's presence, the rabbit girl was still very timid.
Angor found it hard to believe that she was the "God of War" he saw in the Dream Crystal.
Maybe this was what they meant by "contrast"?
Angor shook his head to clear his mind. Laplace looked at him and seemed to have something to say.
She hesitated for a moment and exchanged a glance with Gleipnir. "I've talked to Laplace. She's in a bit of an … accident."
When she said this, Laplace's usually calm expression changed a little.
They logged off less than three minutes ago, and Laplace didn't even move. But now, she said she had finished talking to Laplace. Angor wasn't surprised at all.
Back in the Dream Crystal, they were separate entities and couldn't communicate with each other mentally. But in the mirror world, they were both Laplace's avatars, and they were nearby. Communicating with each other was as easy as drinking water.
Telepathic communication was much faster than speaking directly.
Clearly, they had already communicated with each other mentally.
The rabbit girl must have told Laplace what happened to her. Judging from Laplace's expression, the rabbit girl's situation was a little unusual.
Could it be that she had really encountered a life-threatening monster? Or did she fail in the battle?
"What kind of accident?" Angor decided to get straight to the point.
Laplace sounded a little apologetic. "She accidentally fell into … a special dream."
"Huh?" Angor glanced at the bunny girl who was hiding behind Gleipnir. "She's in a special dream, isn't she? How is that possible? "
Angor was surprised because he saw the rabbit girl completely ignoring the crystal objects around her.
She had been focused on killing monsters, so how could she have fallen into a special dream?
No, it wasn't completely impossible.
Could it be that after she killed a monster, the crystal creation just happened to appear around her, and she was pulled into a special dream without noticing?
Laplace shook his head when he heard Angor's words.
"No, she came into contact with the crystal creations of her own accord. That's because the shape of that crystal creation is very special … "
Even Laplace found it absurd, but that was the truth. The rabbit girl, who was completely uninterested in any other crystal creations, ended up suffering a huge setback because of a rabbit ear headband.
Laplace explained the situation in detail. At the end, she sighed softly. "It's my fault."
Under Angor's puzzled gaze, Laplace didn't continue. Instead, she sent a voice transmission to Angor. "Yes, it's my fault. She fused with my childhood memories. When I injected my own memories into her body, I erased them and replaced them with the experience of being a rabbit. Because of this, she had always had a very good impression of small animals like rabbits. Because of this, when she saw a rabbit headband, she subconsciously lowered her guard … All of this was caused by the replacement of her memories. It's my fault. "
Laplace used voice transmission to explain why the bunny girl couldn't resist the temptation of the headband.
Compared to that, he was more interested in the story itself.
What kind of disaster had Laplace gone through that she would even replace the memories she had injected into his body?
Angor was curious, but he knew this had to be Laplace's secret. If Laplace wanted to hide it from her own body, why would she hide it from an outsider like him?
Angor nodded. "I see. It's not a big deal."
Laplace said, "I promised you that I would kill all the Cleaners after she went in, but this accident happened. It's my fault. I will be responsible for killing the rest of the Cleaners. "
Angor waved a hand. "It's fine. Those monsters can't do anything now. It doesn't matter if we get rid of them sooner or later. Actually, I want to know what kind of dream she went through. Why did she choose to log off when she's so strong? "
Angor had witnessed the rabbit girl's incredible fighting ability. She could easily wipe out all the enemies in the dream world if she wanted to.
Just like this time when Laplace entered the Feast of the Gluttons, there was no need to think too much at all. All he needed to do was to sweep through everything.
The rabbit girl definitely had the ability to do that. If she could, why didn't she do it instead of logging off?
"The dream she went through is completely different from the ones I saw before. All of her abilities, including her bloodline power, can't be used in that dream … "
In just a few sentences, Laplace explained the special dream that the rabbit girl had encountered, as well as the current situation.
To put it simply, the rabbit girl entered a special dream called "Circus of Sunshine".
After entering the dream, the rabbit girl was immediately covered by a bunny costume. The costume was big and heavy, which made it difficult for her to move around. More importantly, she couldn't take off the costume, and she couldn't use any of her abilities inside it.
No matter how strong she was, without the help of her bloodline power and nimble body, all her efforts would be in vain.
In other words, the rabbit girl was forced to return to her original form in the "Circus of Sunshine".
The only good thing was that the "Circus of Sunshine" didn't require anyone to fight in the dream. Or rather, there might be a fight, but the rabbit girl hadn't encountered it yet.
The "Circus of Sunshine" didn't require any puzzles. The goal was given at the beginning.
To the finish line!
Yes, to the finish line.
It sounded like a race, but in fact … it wasn't much different from a race. It was just that this track was an obstacle course.
According to the rabbit girl, there were a total of five tracks. As long as she completed all five tracks, she would pass this special dream.
The rabbit girl couldn't explain the difficulty of the track because she hadn't even passed the first track.
The first track that the rabbit girl was thrown into was called the Knife Mountain Track.
The entire track was a long ropeway suspended in mid-air. The ground below the ropeway was covered with mountains of knives. Once she fell from the ropeway, she would be pierced by the knives.
It looked dangerous, but with the rabbit girl's balance, it was very difficult for her to fall.
The only difficulty of this track was the time.
The time limit of the Knife Mountain Track was half a minute. The length of the ropeway was about 1,000 meters according to the rabbit girl's visual estimation.
The rabbit girl couldn't use her bloodline power and was wearing a cumbersome costume. With the Dream Crystal's physical fitness, it was very difficult to complete a 1,000 meter ropeway in half a minute.
With only one chance, the rabbit girl failed.
The moment the time limit ended, the rabbit girl felt her surroundings change. She appeared in a circus cage and became a little rabbit that was being booed by the audience.
Immediately after, the rabbit girl received information about this special dream.
[Challenger's code name is: Black Rabbit]
[Challenger Black Rabbit has initiated a solo challenge in the special dream 'Sunshine Circus'. ]
[Challenger Black Rabbit has failed the challenge. Current progress is' Knife Mountain Track '. ]
[Challenger Black Rabbit has completed 0/5 of the track. Exploration rate is 0%. ]
[Because challenger Black Rabbit has not reached the settlement condition, 'Sunshine Circus' will continue to operate. ]
[Because challenger Black Rabbit has failed the challenge, it will be forced into a sealed state. ]
[When the challenger is sealed, he will not be able to leave the Sunshine Circus. ]
This was all the information that the rabbit girl had received.
It was because of this information that the rabbit girl knew that there were five tracks. In order to pass, she had to complete all five tracks. And now, the rabbit girl hadn't even completed one track.
Since the rabbit girl failed the challenge and could not move, she had no choice but to log off.
"Can the punishment be removed?" Angor couldn't help but ask after listening to Laplace's information.
If it couldn't be removed, wouldn't the rabbit girl be sealed forever?
Laplace considered for a moment and nodded. "It can be removed. But there are only two ways to do so."
The first way was for the rabbit girl to start a new challenge. If she succeeded, she would regain her freedom. However, she could only do it once per day. She had already done it today, so she could not do it again.
The second way was for someone to touch the headband and enter the rabbit girl's track to start a new challenge. If the challenge was successful, both the rabbit girl and the new challenger would be able to leave.
This was the method the rabbit girl learned. So far, it seemed that the second method was the only one that could save the rabbit girl as soon as possible.
As for letting the rabbit girl challenge herself once per day, no one knew how long it would take for her to come out.
However, even with the second method, it was hard to say who would succeed in saving the rabbit girl.
"I didn't know a special dream could seal people's abilities …" Glepnir sighed. "Looks like we underestimated the authority of Wonderland."
When Glepnir completed "Glutton's Feast", he didn't think this special dream was that special. But now, it seemed that they still underestimated the power of Wonderland.
They could easily clear a special dream that allowed them to use external items. For this kind of special Dream Realm that couldn't use external items, it wasn't easy to pass it just by relying on one's physical constitution.
"What should we do now?" Angor looked at Laplace. "If there's no other way, should I —"
Before Angor could finish, Laplace cut him off. "No need. I'll go."
Angor opened his mouth and tried to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything. Laplace must have misunderstood. He thought Angor was going to save the rabbit girl, but Angor didn't mean to take the lead. Angor was thinking about using the Authority Tree to interfere with Wonderland and see if the rabbit girl could be released.
Since it was a "beautiful" misunderstanding, Angor didn't say anything else.
After making up his mind, Laplace told the rabbit girl to go online first. She would try to challenge "Sunlight Circus" soon.
Before that, Laplace decided to collect the rewards from the 'Gluttony's Banquet' first.
Soon, everyone came online again.
This time, they came online near Fairytale Mountain, where Luigi was pacing back and forth.
When Luigi saw everyone appearing around him, he nearly jumped out of his skin.
"A beautiful dream soothed my heart, but …" Luigi quickly began to recite a poem.
However, Laplace didn't give him any time to recite his poem. "Cut the crap. Let's get down to business."
Laplace didn't hesitate to tell them about his situation.
After saying that, Laplace looked straight at Luigi, waiting for him to use his intuition to give an answer.
However, Luigi's intuition didn't work on the reward. Instead, he noticed that everyone was acting a little strange.
"Did something happen? Why do I feel like you're all acting strange?"
Laplace didn't want to explain, but after some consideration, he decided to tell Luigi about the rabbit girl.
After Luigi finished listening, he fell into silence.
No one said anything and just waited for Luigi's answer.
He didn't know what the others were thinking, but he was feeling a little emotional.
There were two reasons why he felt this way. First, he was amazed by the power of Wonderland.
When he entered the Dream Crystal, he tried to use the Dream Gate to locate the rabbit girl so that he could forcibly pull her out of her special dream.
But it was a futile attempt.
The power of Wonderland was obviously greater than that of the Dream Gate, which meant the two were incompatible.
Even the Dream Gate couldn't get the rabbit girl out of the special dream.
From this, it could be seen how powerful the authority of Dreamwalking Wonderland was.
As for the second reason, it was Luigi.
At first, Angor thought that Luigi wouldn't be able to resist the temptation and would come to Fairytale Mountain soon, while he didn't have to worry about the rabbit girl.
Angor even told Laplace about his opinion.
Unfortunately, he failed.
Although Luigi looked like he wanted to go up the mountain, he restrained himself in the end. On the other hand, the rabbit girl, whom he thought would be very determined to eliminate the demon, unexpectedly fell for the bait and entered a special dream.
As expected, one couldn't judge a book by its cover.
