Red Moon Returns

"She didn't tell you?"

"As I said, she said she had a satisfactory result and she didn't need me to worry about her. But I don't believe it, so I want to verify it with you. In fact, I haven't made up my mind to verify it with you before, but since you are willing Testing me for her made me feel relieved."

"You just said that if you choose to believe her, you won't jump repeatedly. Don't you think you are contradictory?"

"These are two different things. They are not contradictory at all." Lynch frowned and urged, "I have read the memories. She has already taken the lead and sacrificed once in the mythical era. She has a criminal record. I am afraid that she is addicted and wants to do it again."

"Are you worried about her?"

"Uh-huh, of course, that's my neighbor. She's been with me for I don't know how many years. Now I have to huddle in her moonlight to sleep. You think I'm worried..." Lin Qi suddenly paused, He coughed dryly and said, "No, I mean I don't like to see someone sacrifice for me. I'm not qualified to comment on the behavior of sacrificing for the whole world, but if you sacrifice for me, I will owe a favor that is difficult to repay. This is not The results I want to see.”

"..." A faint sigh came from his consciousness, and Lin Qi seemed to see the dignified queen's sad expression, "When you activate all the divine powers, the supreme will in the divine powers will merge into one, forming a complete sacred will, also called God. At this time, the residual will seeds we left in the divinity will be activated. Using this as a guide, our sleeping memories in the dreamland will directly awaken from the divinity and occupy your existence. For us, the process is controllable and we can choose not to wake up."

"Um?"

"In this way, you can indeed take over the divine power that originally belonged to us and resurrect us to become the new supreme. But without this last connection, we will always stay in the depths of the dreamland, falling into an eternal sleep, and never wake up again. ”

"Is there no third way to go?"

"Maybe there is, but I don't know."

Lynch bit his cigarette holder and fell into silence. The woman made of stars also stopped speaking. She faced him across the galaxy. It was not until the bag of tobacco was burned out that Lynch pinched his eyebrows and sighed: "I regret it a bit, Nick." Aunt Si, if I hadn’t chosen this path, she wouldn’t have had a chance to recover, but she wouldn’t have fallen asleep forever. What about now? Can cutting off the connection between us really allow her to return to the dreamland temporarily?”

"It seems that you are really worried about her. I am very satisfied that you can have this idea, but unfortunately, you can't. And in the end, only she can decide whether she wakes up, and you can't stop her."

Lin Qi lit up another handful of tobacco with an expressionless expression.

"However, I don't suggest you think about how to stop her now. It's too early."

"Um?"

The hand that lit the fire stopped in the air, and Lynch stared at the lady made of stars with a focused expression.

"The silvery white moon is bright and flawless, and is the guide in the dark night. The crimson moon is hazy and mysterious, and is the protector in the dark night. The creatures of the first era regarded the back of the crimson moon as the entrance connecting fantasy dreams and the real world, and the crimson moon The moon itself was gradually given the role of defender by faith to guard the dreamland against mysterious invasions. This is her priesthood and the basis of her existence. It is unchangeable. Affected by this, she takes it as her own duty to fight against the dreamland and protect the world. , and it is inevitable that she will be infected with the spirit of self-sacrifice that some protectors often have. I am not surprised that she would make such a promise to you, so I believed it as soon as you said it."

"but?"

"But I know her better than you. She is different from Fiona. Fiona may really sacrifice herself for this, but Luna is sensible. She knows what she is doing and what she has to pay most of the time. cost."

"Including taking the lead in self-sacrifice to fight against the erosion of the Dreamland?"

"Do you even know about the erosion of the dreamland?" Goddess Nyx paused, "Yes, including that time, she is kind, but she is not crazy, and she still retains the most basic reason. In fact, she is kind. It was indeed the last moment, and the whole world was on the verge of being swallowed up by the dreamland. Once that happens, the world may not be affected, but there will not be many living creatures left, so we...well..."

"It goes without saying, I can probably understand."

"You can even do this...Okay, I understand. Anyway, there is a glimmer of hope according to Luna's suggestion. If you don't accept her suggestion, destruction is the only outcome. Otherwise, why do you think all the gods agreed? Because then is the only way out."

Lynch nodded: "I take back what I just said."

"Well, so even if she sacrifices herself, she is calm and will not commit unnecessary self-destruction. She made this promise to you. It may be that this is the only or best way out. It's impossible not to do this, but It’s also possible that she really has another way out, but it’s not convenient for others to know about it yet.”

"Just another 'person'?"

"The same goes for other gods." The old aunt's voice had a hint of annoyance, as if she was glaring at him, "I will spy on you when I come into contact with her, but you don't have to hug her." If you have too much hope, she probably won't reveal it to me. And you don't have to worry too much. Since you choose to believe Luna, you might as well continue to believe that she has really found a solution. I’m really just looking for excuses, and it’ll be too late to think of a solution when the time comes.”

Lynch nodded and suddenly slapped his forehead: "By the way, thank you. When I just woke up, if your believers hadn't provided her memories, I wouldn't have been able to survive until now."

"That's for the carrier she chose, not for you."

Lin Qi grinned and said with a smile: "Look, I just said that a favor is a favor. The key to whether I am grateful or not is whether I receive the favor. As for the purpose of your favor, that is your business and has nothing to do with me."

"...It's up to you." The old aunt snorted coldly, "I will tell them to cooperate with you on that thing. So, what else do you want?"

Hiss, why did this old aunt start chasing people away as soon as the deal was settled? She is so heartless.

Lin Qi thought for a while, then instinctively lowered his voice and asked: "Auntie, tell the truth, you are not the one behind the Shadow Alliance. If it were you, just tell me directly, and I will betray and surrender immediately, so there is no need to go to so much trouble."

"??? How about I let you stay in the dream forever, so as not to betray you later." Lin Qi found that the chair under him suddenly disappeared, and he almost sat down on the ground. He was so frightened that he quickly showed an honest smile, Listening to the old aunt say, "It's not me, and I'm sure it's not Fiona. The possibility of Mika (Happy Girl) is also very small. She has no interest in it. It's hard to say for the other nine. Between the gods, They cannot peek at each other, otherwise it would be a declaration of war."

"Then do you know why he did this?" Lynch asked tentatively, "The world was protected only after heavy losses. Why would he actively induce a catastrophe to destroy the world? I don't understand it."

"It may not be to destroy the world. There may be other purposes. I'll pay attention to it later and let you know if I find anything."

"Thank you Aunt Nix." Lin Qi immediately stood up with his hands down respectfully, as serious as an elder, and said with a smile, "Please take more care of me in the future."

"Forget it, let's talk about another thing." The goddess said in an eerie tone, "What does old aunt mean in your language?"

Eh?
