"This place has also been affected by the collapse of the plane, and it seems that it won't last long."
Su Ming was walking down the corridor of the castle holding a rabbit, and his figure could be reflected on the black marble floor, but the rabbit looked much more excited than him in the reflection.
"This is the first time I have entered the castle of the King of Dreams. It was cool when you knocked out the castle butler. How did you grow your tail?"
The white rabbit is wearing a red checkered vest. One of its front paws is holding Su Ming's armor gap to fix himself, and the other is holding a cigarette from another world.
As for how the rabbit's feet caught cigarettes, and where did it learn to smoke, Su Ming didn't know, nor did he want to know.
"It's not a tail, but a tentacles. Many marine creatures have it."
Su Ming avoided a fallen boulder and looked at the portraits hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor. These portraits were also dreams.
It's just different from the bubble shape of human dreams. These dreams are not placed on the wilderness, floating like balloons in the sun.
Rather, it was treasured in the castle and turned into a painting with constantly changing pictures, placed in a dark corridor, and may be occasionally seen by the owner here.
They are dreams of other things, such as a mountain, a lake, a castle, or a universe.
Yes, for the Sandman, everything can be dreamed, and dreams are his power.
Unfinished stories, unwritten poems, and unborn characters can be seen here in the country of dreams. Everything is a dream.
All this sounds incredible. Why would he know something that never existed?
Therefore, the Sandman has been trapped in the logical circle of ‘I dream of butterflies, and butterflies dream of me’ for a long time. Compared with his relatives’ death and his elder brother’s fate, he appears more uncertain and nervous.
However, Su Ming now has a guess that the disappearance of the Sandman occurred before the fall of the total body. Perhaps he had already sensed that Papetua was about to wake up, so he went out to solve the problem.
After all, he was once a human being, and the incident of Barbatos, from a certain perspective, he pitted Batman and the main universe.
Maybe it's because of conscience's troubles, he plans to do it himself this time. But now it seems that the problem has not been solved, he seems to be solved by the problem instead.
Although the endless family is strong, a mountain is higher than a mountain. As a rule, they are not the strongest force in the DC universe. A truly powerful existence does not care about the rules.
Su Ming knew before that the DC world after n52 was not complete, and it was not the omnipotent universe level of the "Infinite Universe, Infinite Earth" before.
On the Marvel side, there is an almighty universe-level framework, including "Men in Black" and other Marvel universes, which are now stronger than DC.
Sandman and Lucifer... Are you planning to take this opportunity to upgrade the dc multiverse?
So breaking the wall of origin did what they wanted, but what should we do next? Do you expect Lucifer or God to jump out and challenge Papetua at a critical moment?
It's not realistic, and Su Ming doesn't like putting hope on others.
In order to deal with the Laughing Bat, he came here alone, and there are deeper doubts that need to be answered here.
Xiaofu ape gave him some hints, asking him to come here for ‘consultation’ is actually stealing information.
The hairy animal is actually quite familiar with Lucifer. After all, one runs a bar and the other runs a nightclub. They serve similar customers, either a sorcerer or a devil.
"You are a person who has been living in dreams. I heard that you have a special ability to distinguish what is reality and what is dream, right?"
Su Ming stroked the ears of the rabbit, remembering the delicious food he had eaten at the night market when he traveled to Xichuan that year.
The rabbit didn’t notice it. It proudly patted its chest:
Yes, just like these paintings on the wall, they are dreams. They are nothing and don’t exist in any place. And a smart rabbit like me, even though it is. Fantasy species, but I live in the country of dreams, so I am real."
"Um....... It sounds like a testing ground for practicing fantasy." Su Ming touched the rabbit's head, recalling whether he bought paprika in Stormwind City?
It doesn't seem to be. I was in a hurry to buy a bag last time, and I didn't practice much cooking.
"Perhaps, but don't you think that masked people in uniforms like you are actually some kind of fantasy? It's just that you live in your own'land of dreams'. Reality and dreams are just like bystanders and obsessed by authorities."
The rabbit took a deep breath and said vicissitudes of life. He also stretched out his paw and flicked the ashes out, like a big boss.
Su Ming paused, the rabbit said so well, he was speechless.
Sure enough, are the guys who can see the rules these days are monsters?
"Okay, let's not talk about that. The thing I need you to help me find should be some kind of record or secret code." Su Ming let go of the rabbit's head, and he looked around quickly: "It is best to find a clue to the Lord of Dreams. If you can’t, find some information about the multiverse.
"Then we shouldn't waste time here, turn left in the corridor ahead and see a picture frame there?"
"I see, there is a...gas mask in the frame."
"That looks like a gas mask in the eyes of you humans, but in our eyes, it is the crown of the Lord of Dreams. Wearing it, you will be the next King of Dreams."
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple, just click on your head and you will be promoted to the rules of the universe and become a member of the endless family."
"Then why is Daniel missing for so long, and no one of you takes his place?"
"Because we can only live in the country of dreams, you let us escape before, where can we escape? I know that in the Lord's world I will become an ordinary rabbit, and become your human food, even if I wear a crown, Just add some precious metal seasonings to the pot."
Su Ming understood that there are prerequisites for inheriting the kingdom of dreams. First of all, it needs to be a human being, and there is a certain world that can be used as a root.
It cannot be the fantasy species in the dream country, and naturally it cannot be creatures such as undead or demons.
Maybe it still needs to be recognized by others in the endless family, if so, that's the hardest step.
"You don't seem to be an ordinary rabbit, you know a little too much." Su Ming looked suspiciously at the white rabbit in his arms.
The rabbit spit out a puff of smoke with a deep gaze, and said lightly: "Just because I speak nice and philosophical? These are not secrets to us, and who doesn't have any stories yet?"
"Uh...well, I'm not sure if I have time to listen to the rabbit story, but now what should I do if I don't want to be the rule of the multiverse?"
"Same, take off the mask, buckle it on your face, and explain to it that it's just a borrowing. As a human being in your master world, there shouldn't be a big problem. After all, you and our master are hometowns.
"Are you sure there is no problem? If I am bound by the rules of the world, even the rules of the multiverse, it will be a great loss to me. I am proficient in bbq."
"Absolutely no problem. This is not a curse artifact. It will force you the power you don't want." The rabbit rolled red eyes and said helplessly: "You can communicate with it. Now it is like Dreamland. Circumstances, you are still everyone's savior, and I will not lie to you."
Su Ming stretched out his hand and took off the mask hanging on the wall. It was very light, like a feather in his hand.
News came from both the strangulation and the cloak. This thing is very ordinary, it is an ordinary gas mask.
No matter the material or structure, there is nothing unusual.
This is the biggest anomaly, right?
Su Ming took a deep breath. The helmet melted and faded. He put the mask close to his face. Through the two glass eyepieces on the mask, he could see the rabbit looking up at him.
buckle.
A strange smell filled the mask, not the smell of sweat for many years, but a sweet, sweet smell like cake.
The world you see with the mask on is no different, except that everything becomes blurred and not so real.
"It seems... useless?" he asked the rabbit.
"You need to breathe, don't hold your breath, relax and take a deep breath, and experience the smell of dreams." The rabbit patted his chest, it was hugged on his chest, and he could feel the human lungs not moving at all.
"...Whee...whoop."
There seemed to be Darth Vader standing in the corridor, and the sound of breathing through this mask was like a black warrior, without a lightsaber in his hand.
No, there are lightsabers too, and the godslayer can imitate lightsabers.
"How?" the rabbit asked eagerly.
"I saw the road and the nightmare." Su Ming answered it, but the rabbit really didn't deceive people, it was a good rabbit.
He had to admit that he was very wary of talking rabbits and cats, and blamed the fairy tales he had read when he was a child.
"Then let's find the secret hidden by the master. If the servants in the castle are not all fantasised characters, I guess they would have found the master long ago."
The rabbit stuffed the cigarette into the three-petal mouth, adjusted a comfortable sitting posture in Su Ming's arms, and raised his legs.
Dreamland is full of fantasy characters. For example, Giggs, the steward of the castle, is the steward of a in a TV series; Abel and Cain, who are in charge of miscellaneous affairs, are, not to mention, brothers in the Bible story; the maid Lilith ~EbookFREE.me~ This is the witch in Solomon's legend; even the gardener of the castle comes from Poe's horror story collection.
"As a detective, I just have occupational diseases that like to find other people's secrets." Su Ming followed the white footprints that suddenly appeared in front of him.
They floated more than ten centimeters above the ground, swaying around, like smoke and clouds.
This may be the way Daniel had walked, and the gas mask gave Su Ming a guide. As long as you can see what Daniel did last before leaving, Su Ming believes that he can reason out the truth.
"Are you a detective?" The bunny ears moved up and down with the death knell: "We actually have a lot here. Do you know Sherlock Holmes? Or Polo?"
Su Ming curled his lips. He is not a Kudo washing machine. He likes to compete with others to reason. What are these world-famous detectives to do with him here:
"For seasonal jobs, I can work as a part-time detective when I need it, but more often as a part-time homicide suspect."
"Goo..." The rabbit made a sound of swallowing saliva.
