Chapter 642: The Mirror of No-Legacy Dreams and Still Like a Dream
The Mirror of No-Legacy Dreams and Still Like a Dream
Hmm?
The former number two and current number one of 【Memory】, Still Like a Dream?
Qin Xin is him!?
Cheng Shi was stunned. Out of caution regarding the opposition of faiths, he wanted to retreat a step to pull away the distance, but once he thought that the other was also a Fire-Spreader, and even the founder of the Fire-Spreaders, he stood his ground, though the expression on his face became increasingly strange.
Good fellow, as a believer of the God of Joy, I always end up with you top-ranked 【Memory】 players. If He finds out, won't He go back to mocking me?
But then again, if Qin Xin really is Still Like a Dream, why hasn't the God of Joy made a move yet?
Li Jingming has nothing to do with 【Deception】, yet he was dragged into the 【Nothingness】 camp. This person from the mirror is even a Fire-Spreader personally protected by Him; there's no reason to let the other suffer "bitterness" in 【Existence】.
But looking at this mirror... Cheng Shi's gaze looked again at the mirror that was like a gem cross-section, hiss—
It doesn't seem very bitter either.
"SSS-rank Sub-God Relic, 【Mirror of No-Legacy Dreams】, a 【Memory】 mirror that can use dreams to cover 【Existence】 to achieve the effect of recalling the past!"
These words were clearly not said by Cheng Shi; he didn't know any dream or relic or mirror. These words were said by the knowledgeable believer of 【Truth】.
Wang Mou seemed to know these things very well, and it just so happened that Cheng Shi was most willing to listen to these things, so he sent a fiery gaze toward the other like a supporting actor, the meaning clearly saying:
If you can speak, say more. The more knowledgeable you are now, the more face you will recover for the image loss caused by your clown-like behavior of fleeing just now.
Wang Mou's eyelids twitched. Perhaps he understood Cheng Shi's meaning, so he coughed lightly and continued without any embarrassment:
"It is said that this is the only Sub-God level creation of 【Memory】, the 【Mirror of Memory and Delusion】, a Sub-God relic born after it shattered."
"That mirror, whose status was comparable to the 【Truth Instrument】, shattered into two halves. One half became the 【Mirror of No-Legacy Dreams】, and the other half transformed into another SSS-rank Sub-God relic, 【My Nightmare, His Dream】."
"It's just that the latter has long since sunk into the vast sea of history, with no news at all."
"But I know that the 【Mirror of No-Legacy Dreams】 must be in the hands of 'Still Like a Dream'. Qin Xin, I didn't expect you to be him, and I didn't expect Still Like a Dream to actually be a person from the mirror. I always thought you were a Dream-Peering Ranger, after all, this name..."
Qin Xin smiled and didn't make a sound, but Cheng Shi was even more curious.
"I say, Scholar, oh no, Doctor, since you haven't seen 'Still Like a Dream' with your own eyes, how do you know he has this mirror?"
"Very simple, naturally it comes from intelligence."
"Wei Mu once sharply critiqued this mirror, saying that what it brings is nothing but a foolish dream. I've been matched with Wei Mu, so naturally, I knew about it."
"Who is Wei Mu again?" Cheng Shi blinked.
Qin Xin's smile gradually faded, and he replied with a complex expression: "The one from 【Foolishness】."
Cheng Shi looked surprised: "The God-Chosen of 【Foolishness】?"
"Yes, the highest score on the known path to godhood, the top of the fault line on the Ladder of Audience, the absolute devotee of 【Foolishness】 faith, someone intelligent to the point of madness, whom no one can fathom... the Behind-the-Scenes Dramatist."
Behind-the-Scenes Dramatist!
Cheng Shi's gaze condensed. So the God-Chosen of 【Foolishness】 is also a mage?
Looking at it this way, the mage profession is popular; it has produced so many God-Chosen.
Just as the few were discussing in low voices, Li Wufang also arrived nearby. His expression was a bit ugly; after all, the problem occurred under his surveillance. Regardless of the reason, he had messed up the mission he took on himself, so it was inevitable that he would lose face.
However, the look in his eyes when he looked at the crowd was a bit awkward but not dejected, and the sunny energy on his body hadn't dissipated because of this accident.
He first touched his head in embarrassment, and then said to Qin Xin with a serious face:
"Strongman Qin, excuse my disrespect. Don't think I'm useless; I truly misjudged today. Wu Cun's emotional outburst was too sudden; I really didn't anticipate it."
"However, I don't always misjudge. I noticed you when you came, you..."
"Forget it, I'll say it directly. I originally thought you didn't care about this trial, but when you took out this mirror, I knew that it wasn't that you didn't care, but that you had already buried a trump card here, right?"
Qin Xin still smiled and didn't speak. Instead, Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, remembering the disguise the blind man had told him about that happened within the Mediocre Society.
If the Mediocre Society at that time was a trap set by Qin Xin using this mirror, then is it possible that the ruins where he was currently located, which had been annihilated, were also a trap set by him?
!!??
This believer of 【Memory】 had long used his own means to prevent this accident?
A sharp light flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes, and he looked straight at Qin Xin. Qin Xin felt Cheng Shi's gaze, smiled, and nodded:
"Not bad. Consider defeat before victory; only by taking precautions can one have room to maneuver."
"I did indeed set a trap in advance, and separating from the Doctor wasn't purely to find you and Mingyu, but this time it wasn't my deep planning, but rather I should thank the investigator for trying his best to hold back the Annihilator, delaying her outburst of destructive desire until after my layout."
As he spoke, Qin Xin waved his hand and took the mirror back into his space. As the mirror disappeared, everyone only felt as if an invisible barrier before their eyes had broken open, and those gray-white ruins poisoned by annihilation actually became fresh again.
The mess gradually faded, reality was recolored, the disappeared 【Existence】 appeared one after another, the extinguished city block glowed with new life, pedestrians wove through like fabric, houses stood in rows, and everyone stood on the roof of some house, watching this magical scene before them, feeling that everything just now was nothing but a dream.
This was not a recreation of the past, but it was more shocking than a recreation of the past.
Who could have thought that everything that had just happened was actually all in a dream of 【Memory】?
But that was not a pure dream, but a disguise of 【Existence】 parallel to reality!
Look, the Gate of Downward Fall before them was the same as ever, as if it had never experienced such a disaster of 【Annihilation】.
Cheng Shi was shocked in his heart, dumbfounded. He slowed down his spirit and didn't look at the indifferent Qin Xin, but instead looked at the corpse of Adric in the other's hand, asking with some uncertainty:
"So, this NPC in your hand is also fake?"
"No, it's real." Qin Xin smiled and explained patiently, "I just used the power of the mirror to complete this piece of 【Existence】, and this is also the most useful part of the 【Mirror of No-Legacy Dreams】."
"I know you are curious why I could write the entire small town into my memory in just 3 hours. You are wrong, Cheng Shi, the memory of the Gate of Downward Fall didn't come from me, but was already here."
"【Memory】 is not a fantasy unique to an individual; it is a collection of all things entangled. Even if I hadn't passed through here, the 【Memory】 here would have already 【Existed】."
"The reason why the 【Mirror of No-Legacy Dreams】 is crowned with the name 'No-Legacy' is because its collection of memories has no omissions. Through it, I can directly find the memory belonging to a certain area, turn it into a dream, and thus completely cover it over reality, temporarily changing 【Existence】, or rather, distorting 【Existence】."
"And after this piece of 【Existence】 changes, I can break the dream again and restore the area smeared by the accident to its original appearance."
"This is the magic of 【Memory】, and it is also the reason why I am never afraid of 【Annihilation】 believers."
"So no need to worry, the miner you found is real, and the lady the Doctor found is also real."
"【Memory】 is never false. You can also say that the land under your feet that has just been restored is also real; it was just annihilated in a dream."
"And when the nightmare disappears, the world is still beautiful."
