Chapter 4187: Dream of Death
Luweiya was not feeling well tonight. She was not a witch, and like Retsia and Dorothy, she would always have such times. So after everyone was ready to rest, she could only stand at the top of the stairs on the third floor and wave goodbye to Xivi with a smile, and wished her luck tonight.
"Can't you help me?"
"You know, Xivi, I can't tonight."
Saying that, Luweiya touched her stomach, while Xivi reminded her full of hope:
"But besides... isn't there..."
"Oh, this won't do, Xivi, I'm not that kind of girl."
Xivi actually knew very well what kind of girl Luweiya was, but the purple-eyed girl really didn't help. So Xivi, who had made up her mind, planned to test her recent progress tonight. She also asked everyone for a lot of techniques.
But it turned out that on a night when she was alone, the night activity ended faster than ever before.
"I... Xia De, I can still do this."
"No, no, Xivi, this is very good, you are very good."
Xia De thought this was comfort, but Xivi seemed to feel that her self-esteem was damaged, and then insisted on challenging her limits. As a result, the sound even disturbed Luweiya and Little Mia upstairs. The cat, who was woken up, specifically ran down from upstairs to scratch the door twice and then went back.
Xivi finally fell into a deep sleep with a smile and fatigue, muttering "Hailey" and "Elesser" before falling asleep, not knowing what she was planning.
Xia De had no dissatisfaction with Xivi. The older witches in the council had their own charm, but Xivi seemed to be very taboo about Xia De saying so.
After washing up, he held Xivi and fell asleep quickly. Xivi's long hair had the smell of the sea, which did not refer to the salty fishy smell of seafood, but... a feeling that was difficult to describe beyond the sense of taste.
Also because of this smell, Xia De, who fell asleep, first dreamed that he was sailing on a boat, and then dreamed that a storm overturned his boat.
When he realized he was dreaming, he was lying on his back on a familiar small boat. Above his head was solidified thick darkness, and in front of the boat, which was the front of the small boat, was the cold light of the silver moon.
Everything around was dead silent, but even without sitting up, Xia De could sense that around the small boat, white souls were walking in the black water, walking towards the half-sinking huge moon facing the bow.
"Hmm... so, am I dead?"
【No, it's just a dream.】
"Her" smiled gently. Xia De didn't understand why he would dream of this place, but he was glad that at least what he dreamed of was not that red sea. Compared to 'life', 'death' was better.
It was when Xia De was letting his imagination run wild that a slightly familiar childish voice came from his chest:
"God of Cats, are you awake?"
"Hmm?"
The surprised Xia De tried to keep his body still, but raised his head slightly, and then he really saw a well-behaved black kitten squatting on his chest.
Its eyes were silent dark blue—like ghost fire, and its whole body was pitch black as if it was about to merge into the background of this black water area.
This was the cat Xia De and Mr. Bernhardt met when investigating the sewers during the Moon Bay incident. They found its former owner for it, and finally watched it walk into death and reunite with its mother at the sunset Moon Bay pier.
And in the battle with the Evil God at the end of the Moon Bay incident, Xia De, who was defeated and died, had seen it in this water area. The cat and other souls related to Xia De sent Xia De back to where he came from and gave him the blessing to defeat the Evil God.
"It's you, long time no see."
Xia De said with a smile, and then confirmed that this moment was both a dream and not a dream. And when he sat up from his small wooden boat, the little black cat with shiny black fur under the moonlight of the underworld ran onto his lap.
"God of Cats, why are you here again? Mother said, you shouldn't come here often."
The little black cat continued to "say", it and all the souls here did not have the power to speak directly. This kind of communication was more like spiritual communication, and the evidence was that it was licking its paws while talking, and a mouth clearly could not do two things at the same time.
"This is my dream, I'll probably leave in a while. It was indeed not right to come last time, but this time I'm just... passing by."
The cat put down its paws and asked innocently:
"Then can you pass by here often to visit me?"
"You can't say such things."
A calm female voice came, and Xia De realized that there was actually a person standing beside the small boat. It was also a soul Xia De was familiar with, Mrs. Hela Osenfurt.
She was still the same as every time she appeared, wearing a black dress with a black veil on her face. Compared to the soul of the little black cat that was very similar to a normal cat, this lady was synonymous with "undead" just by standing there.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
The small black cat apologized, looking like it also knew this lady. As for Xia De, he was very happy to have such a dream and meet so many "acquaintances".
"Long time no see, madam."
He continued to greet, and the lady standing by the boat nodded gently:
"The underworld moon shines here, and eternity is just a moment. For us, the separation from you is not long ago."
"Yes, there is no concept of time and space here, this is just the concretization of the concept before death."
Xia De expressed understanding, reached out and touched the black cat on his lap, and the latter also narrowed its eyes and responded. The touch of the soul was a bit cold, but very gentle.
"Speaking of which, do you know why I would appear here?"
Xia De asked the lady by the boat for advice again. Although the husband of Hela Osenfurt was the powerful demon "Stone Heart" Stone Osenfurt, she herself had not been exposed to too much occult knowledge during her lifetime.
It was just that after death, before the underworld moon, any soul would become very peculiar, so she behind the veil answered Xia De's question softly:
"Normally, you shouldn't come here easily, even in your sleep. Under the illumination of the underworld moon, death is very stable. Unless you actively desire to come here, there shouldn't be any accidents."
Although Xia De had considered whether to disturb Detective Sparrow, that was just a thought. He had never urgently wanted to appear here recently:
"No, no."
He denied:
"I don't have this desire."
While speaking, he supported himself on the boat with one hand, slightly twisting his body to look at the half-sinking moon in the distance. There were countless blurred figures moving forward before the cold silver moon. They were walking towards the end.
"Could it be that this underworld moon summoned me?"
The lady wearing a black veil had a very soft voice:
"Perhaps, the moon thinks you need the power here."
Xia De thought for a while:
"Recently I have been worried about a special area called the 'Sea of Origins'. Could it be because I don't want to dream of that red sea, so I would dream of this place?"
Although he hadn't tried it, Xia De could almost be sure that in the area of that pink beach and red ocean, the door of death would definitely not be opened. Although the "Sea of Origins" was not a special space left by the Ancient God, that area would definitely resist death extremely.
"God of Cats, what kind of power do you need now?"
The small black cat asked, and Xia De smiled and touched it again:
"You don't need to worry about this, I will handle it myself. I'm not brushing you off, it's just that even I don't know what I really need.
That red sea, that silver monster, are as strange to me as a dream. Death might help me, but I don't know what I really need to do."
The cat didn't understand, so it had to continue licking its paws.
Mrs. Hela Osenfurt suggested:
"Perhaps, you can find more souls to discuss this matter."
Xia De had seen many dead people along the way, and many of them were killed by his own hands. But at this moment, bathing in the cold light of the underworld moon, Xia De shook his head:
"Better not disturb the peace of the dead rashly. Besides, I really don't know what I need. If someone wants to help me, the other party should be willing to appear actively, just like you."
He said so, and finally did not call anyone:
"Cat, madam, thank you for accompanying me in this dream, otherwise it would be too boring to be alone."
The lady wearing a veil shook her head gently, and the black cat looked very happy:
"Then before I wait for my master, every time you come in the future, I will come to see you! But I can't appear every time, mother sometimes doesn't let me appear."
"Then you have to listen to your mother."
Xia De smiled, he felt that this dream could not last too long. He thought about whether he should call Miss Feilian's father, but he immediately gave up this meaningless idea.
Xia De picked up the black cat on his lap, and then turned around completely to face the half-moon of the underworld. He sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, closed his eyes, and felt the cold moonlight.
After the cat was put down, it squatted obediently on Xia De's left side without disturbing him. And Mrs. Hela Osenfurt on the right side of the boat also turned to face the moon.
There was no shadow in death. The light of the underworld moon slightly penetrated the two souls. When it shone on Xia De's face, it only illuminated his calm face.
Life and death are opposite to each other. To solve the big trouble of life, death is indeed the best means. Everyone dies, even the "First Child" is a mortal thing after all.
Xia De guessed that perhaps this dream was reminding him to seek methods to defeat the "First Child" from death and the underworld moon. It's just that he didn't understand what he needed to do for the time being. He only knew that he was very calm at this moment.
He liked this dream.
The moonlight illuminated the small boat and the souls. He sat on the bow and fell asleep. The cat and the lady wearing a veil accompanied him on his left and right. Even in death, the Outsider was not alone.
The black cat quietly glanced at Xia De who was bowing his head, and then rubbed against his leg with narrowed eyes.
【Outsider, you have gained the blessing of a newborn soul: You are more easily liked by newly born life.】
【Validity: 3 months.】
