Chapter 335: Fragments of Weird Painting [I]

The surroundings were filled with fog and were gray.

Occasionally, various vague shadows flashed inside, and the huge shadows twisted and stretched, as if there were terrifying monsters hiding in them that would choose people to devour.

Hu Qi's figure emerged from the mist.

He walked forward.

With every step he took, a translucent mirror would appear under his feet, forming steps that lifted his figure forward.

The scene below changes from time to time, there are dirt roads, cities, mountains and forests...

Jiji.

at this time.

There was movement coming from below.

Looking closely, it was a spherical creature.

It has countless twisted long legs and keeps rolling forward. Every step it takes leaves a pool of fluorescent mucus on the ground, in which undigested limbs and arms are wriggling.

A strange sound came out of its mouth.

Wow!

at this time.

Suddenly, a wave came from nowhere.

He swatted it away directly.

next second.

Amid the waves, an octopus monster with wings showed its head.

Its wings are made of tattered sails with strange runes painted on them. Its tentacles are hung with various relics of sailors, and its tentacles are dripping with sea water and dark red blood.

Two thick black tentacles covered with suction cups, like pythons, directly wrapped around the green slime monster and dragged it over with great force.

But the next second.

The scene changed again.

Suddenly, a huge deep pit appeared on the ground, and the two people along with the sea water were swallowed up.

If you look closely, you will find that this is not a deep pit, but a big mouth that has eaten two monsters.

A huge white tongue stuck out, covered with numb, distorted, pale human faces.

Just as the giant mouth was about to close and retract.

A huge hand without skin and with blood-red tendons exposed fell from the sky and directly flattened the big mouth.

There are many similar situations. This place is full of weirdness and strangeness, and it is changing all the time.

It’s just that these monsters appear to be translucent, as if they are unreal.

Hu Qi remained calm about the situation.

Because this place is deep in the spiritual world, that is, in the gaps between nightmares.

According to Fox Three and the memory content of the scarlet script.

The dream eyes of this world all come from the depths of the nightmare gap.

This is also the reason why the previous blood-letter script controlled and dispatched the script actors to randomly send them to the gaps between the dream eyes to collect the dream eyes.

The dream eye is like a nightmare, full of a strange and absurd power.

Because of his strength before, Hu Qi did not explore rashly.

Now that he has entered the true body realm, Hu Qi wants to explore the gap between nightmares.

If the spiritual world is the gathering place of the minds of all living beings, then the dream world is a deeper concept, and the gaps between nightmares can be understood as a deeper level of dream.

Keep moving forward.

A nightmare force continued to ripple from his body, clearing away the fog ahead.

This world is special.

The spiritual world is the gathering of the minds of all living beings and exists dependent on the real world.

It stands to reason that every living world has its own spiritual world.

For example, the Earth before.

However, although the spiritual world of Earth can be perceived, it cannot be compared with this world at all.

The spiritual world in this world is exceptionally powerful and stable.

Because of the existence of the dream eye, people can even enter the spiritual world.

This kind of situation is simply impossible to happen on Earth.

Even if Hu Qi's real body is on Earth, he can only enter the spiritual world through his soul and cannot bring his physical body.

This does not mean that the power of the main body is weak, but because there are differences in the world, the spiritual world of the earth is too fragile.

At this moment, as he continued to go deeper.

The scene before my eyes kept changing.

The originally translucent buildings and the monsters' bodies continued to solidify.

It was as if Hu Qi was getting closer and closer to the world where these things existed.

Ten more seconds passed.

Following Hu Qi's step forward.

A feeling arises as if passing through a membrane of water.

At the same time, a sense of being down to earth comes over you.

The fog dissipated quickly like a veil.

The scene that was originally shrouded in fog gradually became clear.

Looking around, he found himself in an alley in a city. The damp ground gave off a foul smell.

The walls were covered with unknown vines, which were glowing with a bloody glow, like living human veins.

The bluestone road under my feet looks like a twisted ancient snake, extending crookedly towards the unknown front.

This is a modern city, but it is full of absurdity and weirdness.

The houses on both sides of the street looked strange. Some looked like giant dolls, staring blankly ahead with their eyes.

Some are in the shape of robots, with their metal shells emitting a cold luster under the dim light.

Sparks flashed from time to time at the joints.

Some houses even float in the air, defying gravity.

And above the sky.

A city that looks like an inverted mirror, hanging in the dome like a ghost.

Everything in the city appears in a disordered manner.

The spires of skyscrapers face downward, rooted in the empty sky.

The vehicles were like upside-down beetles, driving madly in the opposite direction on the upside-down streets.

Among them, there were strange and twisted figures, floating and wandering upside down.

“Is this what is called a deep dream?”

Hu Qi's eyes narrowed.

His eyes were fixed on the bizarre scene before him, and an imperceptible ripple appeared in his expression.

Deep dreaming.

According to the information he obtained.

It is the final place where all negative and dark thoughts, as well as strange and absurd things, are buried in the hearts of all living beings.

The nightmares experienced by ordinary people are nothing more than sporadic images glimpsed in the cracks at the edges of nightmares, and brief experiences of some terrifying things.

But once you accidentally step into this deep dream realm, it is like falling into an invisible giant net, with almost no possibility of escaping.

In reality, the explanation for this deep dream is.

It is like a strange space with self-awareness, with cycles repeating over and over again.

Like a never-ending maze, every time you feel like you are about to catch a glimmer of hope or find clues to the exit, the surrounding scene will change and reorganize.

New obstacles appear out of nowhere like ghosts, trapping people in this illusory cage.

However, these are only secondary.

In fact, the most dangerous things in the deep dreams are the monsters constructed from the dark thoughts of all living beings.

"Uncle! Do you want to buy balloons?"

A sudden childish voice sounded from one side.

I saw a boy who looked about eleven or twelve years old appear out of nowhere.

The boy's lower body was normal, just like any other child.

It's just that the head is very big, twice the normal size.

The face, which should have had all five features, now only had one eye and a mouth.

The huge single eye emitted a faint red light like a blood moon, occupying half of the face.

And in that grinning mouth, there was a row of densely packed, sharp teeth, flashing a cold light in the dim light.

The boy held a bundle of balloons tightly in his hand.

These balloons turned out to be human heads with different expressions.

Those heads were either twisted in pain or laughing wildly.

What was used to tie up the human head balloon was actually a bunch of creepy thin intestines, which were still stained with undried blood and emitted a pungent fishy smell.

Hu Qi just glanced at it lightly, without stopping at all, and walked straight forward.

"Uncle, why are you ignoring me?"

The boy's voice sounded again.

His figure teleported in front of Hu Qi like a ghost, blocking his way.

In that single eye, the greedy light was like a burning flame, staring at Hu Qi.

"Uncle, do you have no money? It doesn't matter. Just give me the balloon you have on you and we can exchange it. How about that?"

There was a hint of cunning in the boy's tone.

Seeing this, Hu Qi stopped.

His eyes swept over the boy.

"I can have any of them, please?"

"Of course!"

When the boy heard Hu Qi speak, the corners of his mouth raised.

Just one second.

His smile froze on his face.

The hand that was originally tightly holding the balloon loosened involuntarily.

Those human head balloons seemed to have gained new life and kept laughing wildly.

They quickly flew up into the sky, dragging their intestines, and swayed and floated in the dark sky, like a group of strange ghosts.

The boy covered his neck tightly with his hands, and a strange gurgling sound came from his throat.

His body fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.

Only the big head was freed from the body and suspended in the air, with shock and fear still lingering on its face.

However, due to the lack of rope, the head flew directly into the air.

Soon, it reached a certain height and stopped.

At this time, the human head balloons that had flown away from his hands quickly gathered back towards the boy's head.

With a greedy look on his face, he opened his mouth and bit the boy's head.

The creepy sound of flesh being torn apart was heard.

“No…don’t…ah…”

Miserable cries echoed in the night sky, and bits of red and white things fell from the sky.

By the time it dispersed, the boy's balloon head had disappeared.

Hu Qi didn't care.

Go straight ahead.

What happened just now was the embodiment of a nightmare from the deepest part of all living beings’ hearts.

It's not the Dream Eye itself.

Therefore, killing is useless.

Unfortunately, sometimes, if you don’t take action, the other party will seek death.

Hu Qi could only reluctantly delay his time to meet the other party's small request.

After all, he is a good man who respects the elderly and loves the young.

along the way.

Hu Qi was attacked by various monsters.

However, no matter what kind of monster.

As long as you step into the ten-meter area around Hu Qi, you will spontaneously combust for no reason and turn into a pile of ashes in an instant.

These monsters seemed to have a certain degree of intelligence, but not much. After seeing their companions die one after another, they continued to attack Hu Qi.

After discovering this.

Hu Qi directly released a trace of Dream Eye's aura.

There were at least hundreds of dream eyes that he had devoured, and even if only a little bit of it was revealed at this moment, it would be extremely terrifying.

For an instant.

Those monsters disappeared completely as if they had seen something horrible.

Even after sensing Hu Qi's presence, they would stay away from him.

After that, he had a smooth journey and headed towards the abnormal place that he sensed.

Soon, Hu Qi arrived at the city center and walked into a building.

The interior of the building was dark and eerie, with only the elevator emitting a blood-red glow.

The stairs on the side look relatively normal.

Anyone with a normal mind can sense the strange atmosphere permeating this place.

Anyone who has seen horror movies knows that normal people would not choose a small environment like an elevator in such a situation. Once they encounter danger, it is difficult to escape...

There was a ding-dong sound.

Hu Qi reached out and pressed the elevator button.

The elevator door at the side opened directly, and soft light poured out.

He stepped into the elevator. The interior was no different from that of an ordinary elevator, except for a slightly old house sale advertisement on one side. The advertisement showed a young woman with a strange smile on her lips.

However, after noticing Hu Qi's gaze.

The corners of her originally cracked mouth narrowed a little and turned into a normal smile.

Hu Qi ignored it.

He raised his hand and pressed the highest floor - the 53rd floor.

The elevator rose smoothly and everything was normal.

With a crisp 'ding-dong' sound, the elevator door opened and Hu Qi walked out of the elevator.

Just as the elevator door was about to close, the young woman who had been smiling in the house selling advertisement blinked, her body trembling slightly, and she looked at Hu Qi's departing back with fear.

Hu Qi was naturally aware of the situation behind him.

It’s just that these things cannot provide him with modification values, so as long as he is not provoked, he is too lazy to do anything.

Walking out of the corridor, Hu Qi stepped into a spacious space, which seemed to be an art exhibition.

The walls are covered with all kinds of paintings, including abstract paintings, realistic paintings, impression paintings, meticulous paintings, and freehand paintings.

The only thing in common is that the scenes in these paintings are all dark, weird and bloody.

When Hu Qi passed by, he could even clearly feel a stream of gazes being cast out from it, observing Hu Qi obscurely and fearfully.

For these things.

Hu Qi didn't interfere.

He walked straight to a realistic painting and stood in front of it.

This is a square painting about one meter long and wide.

The scene depicted in this painting is extremely simple.

In the mist, a small island emits a faint light.

However, it is completely different from ordinary paintings, as if it has life.

Standing in front of the painting, Hu Qi could clearly hear the sound of waves hitting the rocks and even feel the damp water vapor blowing on his face.

He stretched out his hand curiously and tried to touch the picture. Strangely, his palm passed through the frame unhindered, as if the painting did not exist in this space.

When he withdrew his hand, the painting was still hanging on the wall.

The only difference was that a piece of thin paper that looked like it was made of some animal skin appeared in his hand.

When I spread it out, I saw that it was exactly a corner of the painting in front of me.

Probably about one tenth.

Seeing this, a look of surprise appeared on Hu Qi's face.

"interesting……"

If his guess was correct.

The source of all dreams in this world comes from this painting, or more precisely, the island in the painting.

"If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be a strange painting. Do I have to collect all the pieces of the strange painting before I can enter it?"

Hu Qi muttered to himself.

Look at this thing in your hand.

He could clearly sense the extremely strong nightmare power that permeated above.

Compared with other dream eyes, it is more intense.

Records about it emerged from his memory.

Weird painting, one of the nine original dream eyes.

Compared to other original dream eyes, it is more mysterious.

It appeared very early.

Even for Fox Three, there is not much record about him in the Scarlet Script.

I just know that this thing exists.

As for what this Dream Eye looks like and what abilities it has, no one knows.

All we know is that for tens of millions of years, the most powerful dream masters of each generation have searched for traces of the strange painting.

Among them was the dream master who called himself "Tian".

Before, he thought that these people were just coveting the power of the Original Dream Eye.

But now we can make some guesses based on what we have seen.

It didn't seem to be what he thought.

But there are other reasons.

As for that 'Sky', it is very likely that he is not dead, but has entered a strange painting.

“This all seems to be getting more and more interesting.”

Hu Qi's eyes flickered.

To be able to become the strongest dream master in every era, one must at least have great luck.

He may even be the lucky man of an era.

These people have all searched for traces of the strange painting. Could it be that they are also looking for the source of the dream eye like him?

It would be fine if there were only one or two.

All of them.

This possibility seemed almost impossible to him.

Then these people have other purposes.

It is obviously not easy to find traces of the strange painting.

But this did not pose a problem for Hu Qi.

Because he didn't need to look for it.

This kind of thing can be completely left to Wei Fan.

The other party is the man of destiny in this era.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will also look for clues to the strange painting.

And he only needs to be responsible for intercepting.

Think of this.

He took a step forward and disappeared right where he was.

……

Inside a mountain.

There actually existed a huge space.

The surroundings were gloomy and the light was dim.

The dome is extremely high and extends in an arch shape, like a black jade disk embedded in the earth.

The carvings therein resemble pythons, winding and coiling, intricate and intricate.

It is covered with densely packed small holes, inlaid with white beads emitting faint light.

In this environment, it is like the stars in the night sky being obscured.

below.

The double-eaved hipped roof is majestic, and the flying eaves and brackets are like a roc soaring into the sky.

Boom!

suddenly.

There was a big hole in the wall of one of the halls, and sand and rocks were flying everywhere.
