Seeing Coconut transform into a bat, Irin's pupils shrank.
He moved in a flash and shielded the three Mother Spirits behind him.
Seeing Irin's reflexive action, the three Mother Spirits were touched. Their Favorability level, which was already at its peak, rose a little bit more.
Irin's intense reaction made Nie Hongxiu, Bai Xiaoyi, and Gaya Koto come back to their senses.
Nie Hongxiu and Bai Xiaoyi's eyes were bloodshot. Their fangs grew silently, and a black horn broke out from their forehead. They had entered their "ghostly" state.
Gamou Koto quickly changed her attire, wearing a tight armor. Unknowingly, she was holding a chopper that was dripping blood.
It seemed that the three Mother Spirits had not spent the past thirteen years in vain. They had unlocked many new forms that Irin did not know about.
It was Grimm!
Irin did not have time to care about the reactions of the three Mother Spirits.
He stared at the bat spreading its wings on the treetop. It was as if he was facing a great enemy.
That Green, why would he appear here?
The bat flapped its wings in the sky.
A sharp laughter came from the bat's mouth.
In an instant, the sky changed color.
The sky above the oasis turned from day to night.
The originally tranquil and windless oasis was also strangely swept by gusts of chilly wind.
"Ah …" Grimm, who appeared in front of Irin in the form of a bat, paused for a moment. He folded his wings in the air and made an elegant bow. "Outsider, I'm sorry for scaring you. I just woke up from a dream."
After Grimm finished speaking, the sky that turned into night turned into day again.
The wind stopped.
All the changes that happened just now were like an illusion.
Yi Lin looked at the startled Grimm, her heart hesitating.
Why Grimm appeared here was a problem.
Another problem was that he had just shot at Grimm. He did not know if Grimm was angry or not.
"Phew …"
Irin took a deep breath and calmed down.
The elegant Grimm flapped his wings and came in front of Irin. His scarlet eyes looked at him.
"Why are you here?"
The bat frowned. "Are you humans all so forgetful?"
Irin was stunned.
He suddenly pulled open the front of his robe. The light-colored "birthmark" on Irin's body when he was born was very clear at this moment. The bat pattern in the skull's left eye blinked playfully, looking very lifelike.
"Nightmare imprint?"
"Yes." Bat lazily covered his mouth with his wings and yawned. "You've finally entered the dreamscape … Because it's too boring here, I accidentally fell asleep."
"You're saying … this is a dream?"
Green laughed. "To me, everything is just a dream."
As he spoke, Grimm drew a circle with his wings in front of Irin. Red spots of light followed the tip of Grimm's wings and solidified in the air in front of Irin, forming the shape of a "chestnut".
"Give me a chestnut …"
"Chestnut?"
"Well, in your words, I'm going to raise a chestnut."
"… Please use force."
"Chestnut: I only need to easily seal the exit from here to the outside world. You will wander in the dreamscape forever, unable to wake up and fall into an eternal sleep. Hehehe … "Bat raised the chestnut and let out a hoarse and cold laugh.
Hearing the word "chestnut", Irin's forehead began to drip with cold sweat.
But he did not answer. He remained silent.
Bat's laughter changed. With a flap of his wings, the chestnut-shaped light arc silently dissipated. "But your dreamscape is too boring. Trapping you here is no fun at all."
Irin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still did not dare to be careless.
Things happened too quickly.
He never thought that he would actually talk to Grimm in such a strange situation.
Irin and Grimm had a total of two contacts.
The first time was in Grimm Town.
The second time was in Googoo Town.
These two experiences were under the influence of the "trial", where he unintentionally broke into Grimm's territory.
But this time, Grimm had barged into his mental world.
He did not expect that the "Nightmare Imprint" that Grimm left on him in Googoo Town would form such a strange connection between the two.
Irin did not think that the one who appeared here was Grimm's real body. Otherwise, Grimm would not have descended in the form of a bat. It was more likely that he was an existence similar to a clone.
"You guys go back first."
Irin thought for a moment and ordered the three mother spirits to return to his own spiritual abode.
The three spirits were not very willing.
They wanted to advance and retreat together with Irin.
Irin smiled bitterly and pointed at the red-eyed bat in the air, flying leisurely as if he was doing backstroke. "If he really wants to do something, for now, it doesn't make any difference whether you guys stay here or not."
Grimm agreed with Irin's opinion. "Yes, outsider, you know yourself well … I don't like weak female species."
The three mother spirits instantly fell silent.
They looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.
After so many years of being together, their relationship with Irin was like family.
They were really worried.
But since Irin and the bat had said so, they could only helplessly go back to their spiritual abode through their own small windows and peep at the movement here through one of the windows.
Since there was no way to deal with the other party, Irin simply sat down on the oasis.
The bat landed on a rock not far away from Irin.
It was a rare opportunity. After thirteen years, Irin finally had the chance to talk to Grimm. Back then, when they hurriedly left in Googoo Town, Irin was full of doubts.
After organizing her thoughts, Irin began to ask the teacher on the rock like an ignorant elementary school student.
"How should I address you?"
"I dare not tell you my real name. That's a taboo name that will make you wander in endless nightmares whenever it rings in your mind. You'll be safer if you call me Grimm. "
"… Understood. Grimm, you said that this is a dream, but that's only to you. So, to me, what is this place? "
Grimm folded his wings and made a gesture of pondering. After a moment, Grimm replied, "You are the registrants of the 'Xi Paradise'. In your words, this should be the 'Pivot'."
"'Pivot'?"
Grimm smiled and said, "This is the central area of the registrants of the Xi Paradise, the place where ideology manifests. So, I slept here, but unexpectedly, I fell asleep. "
Thirteen years … to Grimm, was it only the extent of a nap …
Grimm yawned, seemingly uninterested, and continued, "Your 'Pivot' seems to be the default skin of the Xi Paradise. Your sea of consciousness is too small, it's not worth mentioning. This dream, it's not worth it. "
Default … skin?
This term, why did it sound weird?
Grimm's words revealed his disdain for the cash-rich online game's skin.
Being casually despised by the big boss, Irin did not feel anything. However, Irin noticed a detail in Grimm's words and immediately asked, "Sea of consciousness?"
"Yes," Grimm used his wings to point at the small oasis lake. The bat nodded its head and said with certainty, "Sea of consciousness."
"…"
"'Dream' … Oh, sorry, the scenery of the 'Pivot' varies from person to person. But your 'Life Authorization' has been decoded by the Xi Paradise and reproduced in the form of 'source code', it's easier to interpret. "Grimm looked sleepy, as if he had not woken up yet, his tone was lazy and weak.
He first pointed at the lake and said, "This is your 'spirit'."
Then, he pointed at the few unfruitful coconut trees and said, "This is your 'agility'."
Finally, he pointed at the round stone under his butt and said, "This is your 'strength'."
Irin never thought that the various attributes on the apostle panel would be in the form of 'scenery' here.
So, this' Pivot ', was it not another manifestation of the apostle panel?
No …
Irin quickly corrected her thoughts. To be more precise, the apostle panel was a more direct representation of the apostle's' Pivot 'with data.
Irin's expression was calm, but in her heart, she still maintained vigilance. Grimm's appearance in her 'Pivot', it was hard to say whether it was a blessing or a curse. But at the moment, Irin had no other way to deal with it. She could only think of a way to appease this big boss.
Once again, she deeply felt her own weakness.
She felt like a little girl in the Wanxiang Brothel, being pushed around by the brothel's customers without any resistance.
Just the word 'tragic' was enough to describe it.
Irin's heart was distressed, but she could only ask honestly, "What about will, luck, and charm?"
"Oh, you're talking about other things." Grimm rolled up his wings again and pointed at the tender grass in the oasis. "This is your 'will'." After saying that, Grimm flew up to the top of the coconut tree and waved at Irin.
Irin obediently followed and floated beside the bat.
The bat pointed at a malnourished 'coconut spore' that was only the size of a grape and said in disdain, "This is your 'charm'."
"… What about 'luck'?"
"Tch." Grimm floated down again and circled around a few rocks for a long time before finally finding it. He shook his wings and gestured for Irin to come over. He pointed at a withered little white flower between the rocks and said, "Here, I almost couldn't find it."
"…"
