Chapter 3020: Deep Dive Team

~9 min read 1,674 words

Goddess · Shata Ye didn't agree immediately, but asked for the old knight's opinion. The old knight remained silent, meaning everything was decided by Goddess · Shata Ye.

"Are the people you want to kill ordinary people? I won't go to slaughter the weak again."

"No."

"That's good. We will help you kill people. Please let the time that has stagnated here recover. They... are very painful."

The 'they' Goddess · Shata Ye mentioned were the residents located deep in the dream. One had to 'deep dive' in the dream world to see those dream residents.

Goddess · Shata Ye was not of the orderly faction, but rather of the chaotic-evil faction. Before coming to the dream world, she had killed at least tens of thousands of crazy scholars. For a long time, due to the influence of Ancient God energy and excessive slaughter, she had fallen into madness. At that time, she slaughtered a city.

When she regained her reason, she was standing in the burning black flames. The city had turned into ruins, and hundreds of thousands of civilians had been slaughtered by her.

At this moment, what Goddess · Shata Ye wanted to protect were those dream residents. This was like repenting and atoning for her sins.

In fact, Goddess · Shata Ye and the old knight were both like this. Before coming to the dream world, they were both people with heavy sins, eventually losing everything, their hearts empty.

Guarding the dream world, as well as the dream residents deep in the dream world, was the only thing they could do. If they lost even this, they would have no meaning to live, becoming two empty shells.

Su Xiao didn't intend to cut Goddess · Shata Ye's soul chain yet. The reason was that when the second layer of the soul chain opened, the Ancient God's seal would be even weaker.

At the moment, establishing space coordinates first and letting the contractors on his side come to 'deep dive' was the best choice. After that, he would deal with the space-time power transaction. When these were all completed, he would cut the soul chain to deal with the Ancient God. This was the most stable way.

Goddess · Shata Ye and the old knight both put away their respective weapons. Shata Ye knelt in the innermost part of the cathedral to pray. The old knight squatted down, looking at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. He was extremely friendly to canine creatures and prepared to teach Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang how to shake hands. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang directly performed a handstand + 360-degree spin big split handshake for the old knight, which left the old knight a bit dumbfounded.

"Shata Ye, how many hundreds of years old are you today?"

Baha spoke with a smile. Goddess · Shata Ye didn't speak, just looked at Baha, which made Baha shiver.

At this time, there was no danger in the outside world of the dream world. As for the inner world reached after deep diving, the situation there was still unknown.

According to Goddess · Shata Ye, the dream world had two layers. The dream world Su Xiao was in at this moment was the outer world, which was the material world. After deep diving, he would enter the inner world, which was the spiritual world.

The inner and outer layers of the dream world had exactly the same buildings, terrain, etc. The difference was that in the spiritual world, there were many dream residents and dream monsters.

Dream residents were not dangerous; they were spiritual bodies and wouldn't actively harm anyone.

Dream monsters were different; they would devour foreign consciousness. How they were formed was unknown.

The 'deep dive' that Goddess · Shata Ye mentioned many times was entering the spiritual world.

Regarding this, Su Xiao had no interest. He was only responsible for setting up space coordinates. Afterward, professional personnel in this field would arrive.

Su Xiao took out a metal rod the length of a small arm from his storage space and pierced it into the ground. The metal rod expanded, and a pulse spread, spreading until it affected the entire dream world, and this pulse dissipated.

【Space coordinate setting in progress, estimated time 4 hours and 24 minutes.】

Seeing the time required, Su Xiao walked toward the outside of the cathedral. The reset of the dream world would begin in more than three hours. He had to wait for a reset here before returning.

Returning to the thick fog area, Su Xiao opened the fog door and returned to Madam Snake's wooden house with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha.

Returning here, Su Xiao collapsed on the bed and fell asleep. He hadn't fallen asleep yet when Yueling started muttering about wanting to go to the dream world to see. After being looked at by Su Xiao, Yueling went to the corner to face the wall for punishment.

Yueling couldn't enter the dream world; she had to watch Madam Snake. Madam Snake belonged to the neutral-good faction, who didn't care who she helped as long as she wasn't harmed. In such a chaotic Dark Star world, one either had to be strong or be like Madam Snake; otherwise, one wouldn't live long.

In this world where demons danced, the average lifespan of a Son of the World was under 20 years old. A pile of big pits was waiting for them, such as the 'gentle' Great Sage, the 'benevolent' Mother God, the 'reasonable' Kodo School, and the 'friendly' Soul Zhong Ta.

Unless a Son of the World like the Nameless Captain appeared, they wouldn't be able to grow up at all. Even having the world's attachment was useless.

After resting for a few hours, Su Xiao returned to the dream world. Out of the thick fog, the Central Zhong Ta in the distance pointed to 7:13. This was morning, but the moon hung high in the sky. The dream world didn't have the concept of daytime; 23 hours and 59 minutes were all night.

The journey was smooth, and Su Xiao arrived at the cathedral. Goddess · Shata Ye was still kneeling there, her hands clasped in prayer.

The space coordinates had been set up. Su Xiao pressed his hand on it and activated it through the Reincarnation Brand.

【Prompt: The hunter has successfully set up space coordinates.】

【Contractors will soon be teleported into the cathedral. The hunter needs to ensure there is no danger in the cathedral. The three contractors about to arrive in this world have combat power lower than this world.】

【Prompt: After solving the time stagnation of the dream layer, the three contractors who arrived in this world will be forcibly returned to Reincarnation Paradise.】

【You have completed the hidden task: coordinate establishment.】

【You obtained World-class treasure chest x1.】

【You obtained Honor Crystal x3.】

Three contractors were about to arrive. Looking at the content of the prompt, these three contractors were not Tier 8. However, these three were good at dealing with 'puzzle-solving events.' In the spiritual world, they needed logical thinking, insight, patience, and perverted survivability more.

Space fluctuations appeared. Goddess · Shata Ye, who was praying, opened her eyes. Her hand raised, and the Repentance Sickle flew into her hand, being grasped by her.

With a swoosh, Goddess · Shata Ye disappeared in place. When she appeared again, the sickle blade of the Repentance Sickle was already hooked on the neck of a short figure that had just appeared.

"What the hell!"

The short figure shouted, the voice being neutral.

"Is this an enemy? Or, someone you found?"

Goddess · Shata Ye leaned down slightly, just waiting for a word from Su Xiao. The Repentance Sickle in her hand would hook and break the newcomer's neck.

"Our own people."

"Excuse me."

Goddess · Shata Ye retracted the war sickle and bowed slightly.

"What the hell is this? Almost died as soon as I arrived."

A little girl? No, a little boy spoke. He wore a duckbill cap, looked neutral, and was dressed like a detective.

Snoring sounds came from a sleeping bag. Hearing this snoring, the little detective revealed a wicked smile. He jumped high and made a one-legged stance, his toes bearing his full weight landing, stepping on the middle section of the sleeping bag. For the person in the sleeping bag, this was a vital hit.

"Damn it!!"

A scream came, and the sleeping bag arched into a V-shape. Hearing this scream, Su Xiao felt somewhat familiar.

"You two be serious. A puzzle-solving event has come, and it's very dangerous here."

A female voice came. Su Xiao turned his head to look, and their eyes met. Su Xiao and the newcomer were both somewhat surprised.

The newcomer was vigilant at first, then embarrassed. The newcomer's name was Nairoi. This name wasn't loud among contractors, but she had another title, which was Stan's ex-wife.

The zipper of the sleeping bag opened, and a man who was sleeping in a daze sat up. He scratched his messy hair. Careful observation revealed that this sleeping bag had many functions and was a piece of equipment. At critical moments, it could also perform hydraulic filling, so even if falling from tens of thousands of meters, there would be no problem.

The man who sat up from the sleeping bag was none other than Brother No-Umbrella.

"Woof?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was dumbfounded. It certainly knew Brother No-Umbrella, but with Brother No-Umbrella's logical thinking ability, could he really handle the time stagnation in the spiritual world?

This wasn't Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang having prejudice against Brother No-Umbrella. Brother No-Umbrella's IQ certainly wasn't low, but his logical thinking ability was simply diarrhea. For example, A, B, C, and D sat in a row. A is Xiao Ming, B is Xiao Bai, C is Xiao Hua, and D is Wang Tiedan. May I ask, after A and C swap positions, who is to the right of Xiao Bai?

Brother No-Umbrella's answer was, Xiao Hei. ===== CHAPTER 3021 =====
