Chapter 356 The Plan About to Be Completed
"Great Britain?" Upon hearing the black-clad figure's words, Shi's expression subtly changed.
Are you going abroad?
"What I'd rather hear is 'come home.'" The black-clad figure slightly curled the corners of his lips, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his dark eyes, as if recalling some past hidden deep in his heart.
"Each divine realm has a unique entrance in reality, and Shadow City existed on a floating island in the North Sea of Great Britain during the mythological era... If you hadn't intentionally stayed here, I think our plan would have been much easier to execute in Great Britain."
"But your choice is correct. Rather than corrupting a newly awakened magical girl and starting to train her, directly using a blue-level magical girl will save us a lot of meaningless time."
Listening to the whispers of the black-clad figure, Shi lowered her head slightly, her eyes blinking unnaturally. She didn't know what was wrong with her; her mind felt a jumble of thoughts.
The surrounding shadow energy surged again, seeping out of the black lake, spreading and climbing onto the shore, like silt, lingering around Lost.
These substances are the most basic components of the Shadow World, and also the source of the extraordinary energy that grants Loss his power. But at this moment, Loss suddenly felt a slight aversion to this energy.
Her change did not escape the other party's gaze. He slightly turned his body, and the black figure stared straight at Shi.
"My child, your heart does not seem at peace."
"My God, I... I just feel uneasy..." He unconsciously clenched his fists. "Letting the whole world be swallowed by shadows, can that really protect everyone?"
"Isn't this what you wanted?" The black-clad figure didn't answer directly, but instead asked softly.
His deep voice, carrying a mad, boisterous tone and the sound of flowing lake water, slowly spread and echoed in Shi's ears.
"No war, no negative energy, no need to worry about monsters from the other world or mirror figures from the reversed world, the whole world has fallen into eternal night, and everyone can live a peaceful and beautiful life..."
"Isn't this...the life you've always dreamed of?" the black-clad figure asked again in a low voice, so gentle.
"...Yes, but..." Shi pursed her lips and raised her head slightly. "But I always feel, always feel... something's not right."
"My God, I have no intention of disrespecting you, nor do I wish to disobey your commands..." He took a deep breath and confessed frankly. "When I was helping you find the Dark Crystal, I encountered some things that have been weighing on my mind. I... I don't know if these can be considered variables."
"Are you worried about those guys from the other world?" Because what Shi brought was all dark crystals, the black figure subconsciously assumed that the problem the other was facing came from the other world.
"I know you don't get along with those guys; after all, you and your friends were fighting them before I found you."
"But after the expansion of the power of shadow last time, you should be able to see that those guys in the underworld are unable to resist the shadow. Perhaps it is possible to awaken that ancient god in the underworld, but that guy is sleeping very soundly and it is impossible for him to affect our plans."
"No, my god, I am not referring to heretics..." Shi gently shook his head.
"Are those the mirror figures from the Reverse World? You seem to be quite bothered by their existence, but you don't need to worry. The rules of the Reverse World don't affect Shadow City."
"What if it's a dream world?" Shi didn't want to hide it any longer. She waved her hand gently, and a large cystic mass of flesh slowly began to wriggle in the shadows beneath her feet. Soon, it 'floated' up.
After being stored for a period of time, the ogre's head had rotted and smelled foul, and the flesh on its surface had begun to swell abnormally. Thick fluid kept flowing out, emitting a nauseating odor. However, its original appearance could still be seen from its surface outline and the teeth in its mouth.
With a slight shift in his gaze, the black-clad figure fell silent for a moment.
Shi didn't speak, and the whole world fell into an eerie silence once again, with only the whispers in the air and the sound of the waves on the lake continuing incessantly.
After a while, the figure in black finally turned its gaze to Shi. "Where did you find this thing?"
"Deep in the Changbai Mountains," Shi replied without hesitation. "I initially thought it was some strange beast that had escaped the magical girl's hunt, but after I killed it, I discovered it wasn't a creation of the other world. It was a real 'creature,' the kind with flesh and blood."
Where did you first hear the term "dream world"?
"In the archives of the Bureau of Demonic Investigation, with the help of the power of the Shadow Corridor, they could not stop my infiltration. I saw that they were investigating a new world, which they named the Dream World."
"How is this possible..." the black-clad figure murmured, a hint of doubt flashing across his face.
"My God, are you aware of the existence of the dream world?" Shi asked.
The pitch-black world fell silent all at once, as if a pause button had been pressed. The sounds of voices and flowing water disappeared, leaving only the black figure suspended in mid-air, silently watching the loss, seemingly lost in some kind of contemplation.
After an unknown amount of time, the strange voice of the black figure echoed again.
"The Dream World..."
"I haven't heard that word in a long time..."
His gaze flickered slightly. "My god, what kind of world is that? Why are creatures from there here? Why do some people enter that world in their dreams?"
"Knowing that won't help you execute our plan."
"But.:"
"Loss." A gaze from the black-clad figure swept across like a razor, fixing on Loss. "...What you need to consider now is how to complete our plan."
"The dream world is far beyond our reach, and that's not something you need to worry about right now. As long as our plan is successfully implemented, the whole world will be under the protection of the shadows."
"At that time, neither the underworld, the reverse world, nor the dream world will be able to threaten our lives."
"And you... can also live happily with your friends, forever carefree, forever experiencing beauty."
Shi Chao gazed languidly at the black figure. "...As long as shadows shroud reality, we'll be happy, won't we?"
"My child..."
The black-clad figure spoke softly, a shadow extending from his fingertips, slowly lifting Shi's chin.
"Shadow City will grant people eternal life. Those mortals will evolve, and they will gain extraordinary powers like you. In the shadows, they won't even feel the changes in the world, because everything they want will be readily available in the darkness..."
"So yes, you will be happy, just like eternal life in the darkness, each of you can attain eternal happiness."
She opened her mouth slightly, her red lips a little dry.
She paused for a moment, then a bright smile slowly spread across her face.
"My God, I know what to do."
"Um"
The figure in black nodded slightly, his eyes filled with approval.
"Go and prepare, my child, to activate the anchor point of the floating island of Great Britain and welcome the arrival of Shadow City."
Shi nodded heavily, then quietly turned around and walked step by step into the darkness.
In the quiet environment, only the sound of Shi's footsteps fading into the distance could be heard, and as he watched Shi's departing figure, the smile on his face slowly faded.
My gaze shifted, and there was the grotesque head still on the shore, its empty pupils staring blankly, as if venting some kind of resentment.
The black-clad figure's gaze gradually turned cold.
The next moment, the calm lake water suddenly boiled, and then a huge monster leaped out of the water and swallowed the ogre's head whole.
The monster had three heads: a goat on the left, a python on the right, and a lion in the middle gnawing on the head of an ogre. The entire monster was pitch black, looking like a deformed creature made of mud.
With a low growl, the monster slowly turned around and approached the sullen figure, its terrifying appearance surprisingly exuding a sense of docility.
"Don't rush...don't rush..."
The black figure gently raised its hand and stroked the huge lion's head.
"Soon..."
The underground parking garage of the Demon Surveillance Bureau building in Yandu, China.
This area is not only filled with vehicles belonging to civil servants, but also with official vehicles belonging to agents of the Demon Surveillance Bureau. These are mostly ordinary sedans, since agents cannot operate in a high-profile manner, but there are also specially made armored vehicles.
At this moment, there was one more "car" stored in the garage.
Amidst the utter astonishment of the agents guarding the vehicles and equipment, Tang Zijun and Katie boarded a magnificent steam train, one after the other.
Half of the steam train is embedded in the wall of the underground parking lot, with only a portion exposed. If it weren't for the automatically opening doors, people who didn't know better would probably mistake it for a wall.
"How did the chat go?" Seeing Tang Zijun's figure, Juan Erduo hopped over to greet her.
Once on the train, Tang Zijun stretched wearily. "...Thank goodness, everything that needed to be discussed has been discussed. Ugh... You know what, parking the train here actually feels like getting on the subway."
"Hehe." Curly-eared guy chuckled foolishly.
Leading Tang Zijun back to her seat in the carriage, Katie turned and asked, "Brother, where are we going next?"
"Where to?" Tang Zijun raised an eyebrow. "Home, of course. Where else can I go? If I don't update soon, my readers will say I'm abandoning the story."
"Okay, let's go home!"
Katie's lips curled up, and Curly Ears jumped onto the table.
"Time to go home~"
As the train started moving, a whistle, seemingly from a distant dimension, slowly began to play.
Woo-woo-woo
