she became a god in a dream

Chapter 17 Chapter 17
Shen Dong stood at the door of this library.

To her surprise, there was nothing wrong with the library.

Normal renovations, normal librarians, normal processes.

She went up the stairs and found a book with a cat's head printed on the cover on the left shelf on the third floor of the library.

Shen Dong sat in a secluded corner with this book.

Rubbing the edge of the book with her fingers, she opened it.

"Aww~" A cat with a fishbone pattern jumped onto the table with a slight leap.

"You smell like that rabbit."

That rabbit doesn't even have a body, but it actually has a smell?
Shen Dong smiled and nodded, "I send my regards to you on behalf of Mr. Rabbit."

Lady Cat sits gracefully on an open book.It has a pair of bright golden pupils, as if it seals two suns.

"Dear Lady Cat, I would like to borrow that magical book that tours anyone."

Looking at those golden pupils, Shen Dong was a little dazed. For a while, he felt that he was back in his childhood, and saw a stray cat under the big tree in the orphanage. For a while, he felt that he was back in the Jiangliu District Elementary Education School. The mottled cat stood in the garden watching her.

What is this cat doing?To peek at her dull memories?

"Of course you can borrow it." Ms. Cat's eyes turned aqua-yellow,
"I didn't mean to offend just now. It's just that there is a crisis that is going to befall each of us. I just want to find a way out. But you are not from the present, right? What happened here is the past, history for you. You What changes is only the bubble of fate, the endless branch of the endless river."

[This scarlet trial is quite serious. ] Urghast never felt that this was a city that really existed.

Shen Dong looked at the cat: "Can you make it clearer?"

"Now is not a good time to speak clearly. Shen Dong, we will meet again, and by then you will have understood everything that happened now. And I will die in this catastrophe and be resurrected in the future with you."

Ms. Cat stepped aside from the open book, closed the book with her tail, and gently swept the cover of the book:
"Be careful when using the Book of Adam. If you see a strange man with golden hair, please help him as much as possible."

The cover of the book is wrapped with intricate patterns, and the edges of the flowers are outlined with gold threads.

On the second floor of the Deep Blue Library in City No. 2, a well-placed book on the bookshelf disappeared.

Shen Dong silently read the title of the book in his heart: The Travels of Ivan Adam.

The cat lady disappeared, and Shen Dong found that the surroundings suddenly became noisy. She looked up and saw the signboard of the Starlight Library. She had never entered the library.

People coming and going in the library are like a never-ending river, while Shen Dong is a clumsy stone.

[Open it. ] Urgast has always been very active in joining in the fun.

As soon as Shen Dong had the idea of ​​going on a parade, the twelve posters she saw in the doll factory automatically appeared in the back of her mind.

As the screens continued to change, the last two posters covered in red paint gradually became clear.

Shen Dong appeared in the sky a thousand meters above the city, and he could see the dazzling city that never sleeps when he lowered his head.

At this distance, she couldn't see the promotional video played upstairs in the center at all.

But she heard an excited voice explode in her ears:

There are still five days before the first sacred birth in the scarlet world!

This time is midnight tonight.

In the next second, Shen Dong saw red lights starting to rise from all over the city. Against the backdrop of various light sources, it seemed like a thin layer of red mist shrouded the city.

"What is this?" Shen Dong frowned slightly.

The red mist continued to spread, and when it touched the invisible boundary, it spread inward again.

Shen Dong saw a huge hood covering the entire city.

With a thought, she appeared on the top of the central building, standing in front of the light screen that was playing the promotional video.

A city that accommodates millions of people would never have imagined that there would be a day when it would become so silent. The large and small light screens would go dark one by one, and the shuttle trains would stop slowly.

The carnival crowd found that their bodies had turned into a void of red light, and before they could even let out a scream, they melted into the red mist at the top of the city together with other red lights.

The red light in the sky accumulated more and more, turning into a solid and flowing ocean, the sky began to rain, and the city was lost, turning into the appearance in Shen Dong's dream.

This is the final task of the Scarlet Judgment, and it is also the catastrophe that the cat lady said.

Standing at the bottom of this red ocean, Shen Dong felt the increasing rain and was a little out of breath.

If she wants to successfully complete the main mission, she must escape the city before midnight tonight.

The paint on No. 12 posters was erased by an invisible force, and the picture in front of Shen Dong's eyes darkened, and she appeared above the Red Sea, at the edge of the city.

She didn't see anything special about this place, but heard some faint voices.

Shen Dong kept staring at the rain curtain and the red sea, thinking about ways to escape from the city.

Suddenly, the voice became louder.

It was a scarlet train coming out of the void, the huge and dazzling headlights broke through the rain, passing by her with rising water vapor.

It passed through the barrier that blocked Hongmang.

Since then, the huge roar has been echoing deep in Shen Dong's heart.

-

In one of the most ordinary fast food restaurants in the Heidu neighborhood.

Shen Dong paid for a set meal and sat next to Heiya and Mao Ye.

Mao Ye, who had refilled the water several times, held the cup: "Is this delicious?"

"Delicious." Shen Dong took a bite of the freshly baked hamburger.

Black Crow reminded him friendly: "If your identity is correct, you have money in your account and can spend it."

Although the kid in the wilderness didn't speak much and his mouth was tight, she could still see his nervousness and embarrassment.

This should be the first time the wilderness has experienced the scarlet trial.

Soon, a set menu was placed on the dining table in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.Black Crow's share was sponsored by Mao Ye's friendship.

Shen Dong cut off the beginning and the end of his experience, and briefly summarized it.

Hei Ya took a sip of his drink, then turned his head to look at Shen Dong:

"You mean, you met a strange rabbit at DreamWorks who made a prophecy about the end of the world. Residents who stay in the city until midnight tonight will turn red lights into the sky. And the only way to escape the city is Board a train that doesn't exist?"

"Well, that's about it." Shen Dong nodded, expressing his approval.

Mao Ye wiped his mouth: "Then let's look for clues to the train now."

"Should we tell the rest of the team about this news?" Black Crow waited for Shen Dong's response.

Shen Dong squeezed out the last bit of ketchup and ate it: "Don't worry, the three of us are enough for the current investigation mission. Too many people will get in the way."

After eating and drinking enough, the three of Shen Dong got on the suspension train to the city lord's residence.

Because if there are survivors in this disaster, they must be the most powerful and the most informed people in this city.

On this issue, Mao Ye and Black Crow, two people who have life experience in the scarlet world, have the most right to speak. They said in unison: "The city lord."

[The city lord. ] Now the two have reached a consensus with one shot.

The novice Shen Dong followed behind them: "I think so too, then let's go to the other side of the cloud field where the city lord lives."
