I Like This Dream!

This thought only flashed for a moment before An Xu put it aside.

Seen from the sky, humans and animals are as small as beetles of different colors, or the kind of picture with low definition under a black and white filter; the screams and roars are mixed in the wind and snow, and the smell of blood is frozen under the city. An Xu could only smell the cold wind. After that moment of emotional resonance, An Xu's heart was far away from this land again.

She was indeed touched by the desire to live on both sides, but when a person is equally touched by both sides of the dispute, the person's position is no different from that of not being swayed by either side. A hungry cheetah chases an antelope. If the cheetah cannot catch it, it will starve to death. If it catches the antelope, it will be eaten. What should we do in this case? Anxu doesn't know how to do anything. She will happily eat this show and admire the beautiful figures of cheetahs and antelopes.

An Xu didn't realize at all that there was anything wrong with watching the human-animal battle in the "dream" with the mentality of viewing the animal world.

Lydia sneezed, reminding Anxu that she was not here to watch. Sorry, magical nature! She said without sincerity in her heart, I want to brush up my book and don't have time to wait for everything to develop naturally.

When a heavy weight falls on one side of the shaking balance, the battle has come to an end.

There were no survivors who could bring a message to the beasts here, so when the fist-sized orange-red "plush ball" fell into the beasts, the surrounding red-eyed beasts only moved aside a little. Having said that, they couldn't hide away even if they wanted to. The city walls were so crowded like a tourist attraction during Golden Week, and there was no room to move in the capital subway during rush hour.

So when the small ball exploded, a quarter of the beast group evaporated.

Corpses were flying everywhere, and minced meat was splashed all over the city wall. The ball lightning struck in the center of the herd, and the surrounding beasts that were lucky enough not to be crushed by the blow acted as a protective belt for the shock wave. The people on the city wall were stunned. Fortunately, even the strange beasts on the wall were thrown into chaos amidst the loud noise. There was a cassette-like stillness on the battle line just now. All the creatures looked at the disaster under the city wall with dumbfounded eyes. Then, they witnessed where the disaster came from.

The maiden of heaven.

The silver-white ball of disaster emerged between her hands, slowly getting bigger and then smaller, and finally so small that she could hold it with one hand. She was shaken all over, and her suspended body began to rise and fall erratically, falling dozens of meters without warning before stopping before hitting something. The people on the wall were almost at her level, and her face and trademark light blonde hair could be seen.

"The one favored by God!"

"Blood Anna!"

Two completely different exclamations sounded at the same time.

The spell of silence was broken, and the strange beasts on the city wall pounced on the defenders again, and the border troops fought as if they had just woken up from a dream. Only the onlookers in the city wall who had not had time to stand in had enough time to notice something strange about the girl in the sky: her eyes were wide open, but they were not normal eyes, but bright electric light.

Lydia fainted without a word amid the overflowing current. An Xu had no spare time to notice this. Just now, her perception of the outside world suddenly broke.

There are various reasons and omens for this happening. It might as well be said that it is strange that the girl's ignorant and fearless act led to problems now. Even a rechargeable electric board will reach its limit if it is consumed too frequently. People who blindly use their control power to compress energy, eat crystal cores at will, and abuse their powers just because they have replenishment, will What will be the result?

The electric bead in her hand fell and continued to grow in size in mid-air. When it touched the ground, it was already the size of a bathtub. Its explosion caused everyone nearby to temporarily lose their hearing. The solid city wall shook violently. A corner of the fortress that had stood for half a century disintegrated in just a few minutes, which was enough to allow the beast tide to easily enter the city. However, at least now, this function is not necessary, and there are no more strange beasts left in the city.

An Xu felt like he was floating.

It's like going back to the moment when I broke free from the shackles in the academy. My frozen body is no longer a burden, and my soul's senses are a hundred times sharper than my body. She rose involuntarily and flew to the thick clouds in the sky. The attraction was like a meteorite thrown towards a massive star. An Xu suddenly understood the desire of the alien beast.

There is indeed something in the clouds, something that can make them stronger. The desire of strange beasts for it is like the pilgrimage of believers. As long as they meet God, they can receive gifts.

The same goes for Ansu.

Anxu, to a certain extent, is really lucky. If she had not used her powers so recklessly, her hidden danger would not have broken out so early; if her hidden danger had not broken out at this time, she would not have received the gift of the first snow by accident. The golden core of the soul shattered, it exploded like that ball of lightning, only for the fragments to regroup under the strange pull of gravity.

Countless golden threads reappeared, as if each gear was in its proper place. They are very unstable, and a slight fluctuation in their mood can lead to failure. Mortals must have great wisdom and perseverance to keep calm when their lives are in danger. But Anxu, the guy who never realized he was dancing on the blade, ran like a sleepwalker through the path filled with venomous snakes.

She was focusing on something else.

The clouds, the wind and snow, the sky, the earth...the whole world disappeared, leaving a blank space with only two existences in the blank space. Anxu saw a priest with black hair and black eyes. There were smile lines at the corners of his eyes, and the smile seemed to grow on his face. Opposite the priest is a huge white bird, as big as a house. The moment An Xu saw them, her heart moved. She suddenly realized that she remembered where this feeling had appeared.

Wasn't it the one that broke out in the seminary? That sense of intimacy and familiarity, as if seeing each other again after a long absence, made An Xu feel close to the two strangers who suddenly appeared.

The white-feathered bird and the black-robed priest were confronting each other. Their landing point could not be seen at all in the void. It was unclear whether they were in the sky or on the ground. The priest stretched out a hand to the bird. Although he didn't see any blood, Anxu felt that they were both injured. The white bird made a sharp cry, which was so harsh that it made people dizzy. Anxu groaned, the priest turned to look at her, and the white bird took the opportunity to fly away.

"It's not time yet." The priest looked at Bai Bird's back and sighed.

An Xu looked at his regretful side face and sighed for some reason. It was strange, she didn't even know what happened. The priest turned his attention to her again and said, "We meet again, and it's earlier than expected."

"Who are you?" An Xu asked.

The priest looked a little surprised. He said to himself, "You really don't remember? You don't even remember now?"

An Xu looked at him in confusion.

The priest smiled, his smile was like a spring breeze, and Anxu couldn't help but smile too. The intimacy he gave An Xu was exactly the same as the one he felt in the academy, but it was more...how should I put it, less intense than that existence, just like the difference between the moon and the sun.

"Well, it's not that important." The priest looked at An Xu from a distance and said with a smile, "Goodbye, my little sister."

His body blurred for a moment and began to disappear into the void.

An Xu suddenly felt a sense of violation.

The priest's smile did not spread to his eyes. He looked smiling, but his calm and boring eyes were exactly the same as An Xu's - but this was not the reason why she felt weird.

The golden thread in the soul moved very fast after seeing the white bird and the priest. The moment the priest disappeared, it solidified into another core. The new spiritual core is not an unstable ball of electricity, but a much smaller, dimmer solid. The reorganization exhausted its energy, but the moment the reorganization was completed, Anxu felt that the world was completely different.

Like a tadpole growing a tail, like a caterpillar emerging from a cocoon and becoming a butterfly, it is simply a leap in life form. She was extremely tired and sober. When she looked back on what had just happened, the sense of inconsistency suddenly became clear.

Why did she sigh?

Why is she smiling?

Does she really want to be close to them?

An Xu couldn't remember the reason for those reactions at all, and the remaining good feelings instantly turned into dissatisfaction. You could call it irritation. This kind of emotion that does not come from the heart is like being forced into the garbage in the house. Looking back on the behavior just now is like waking up from a hangover and recalling the night before, and found that I was lying in the mud and had a knot with a frog. Got married.

"Hey, who are you?" she shouted loudly, but there was no answer in the empty space.

An Xu took one step, two steps, and then started running. Her body (?) was so light that she couldn't feel where it landed, couldn't hear her footsteps, and she didn't know how far or how long she had run. She thought that the dream was probably changing again, and that the time and space between the two dreams had no meaning.

As she ran, her eyes dispersed, and her body disappeared, as if she was immersed in meditation. In the huge space, she could only hear her heart beating, and her heart was golden. She saw fire falling from the sky, deep pits on the ground, and many sheep running around. The scene was very familiar, like entering a dream that she had done many times and forgotten every time she woke up.

The scene changes.

It was early morning just now (wait, when did the void become early morning?), but now it has become evening. She saw all kinds of strange beasts wandering not far away, and each of them looked very troublesome. Compared with the cannon fodder monsters that were wiped out before, these guys are like elite boss monsters, with the names on their heads having different colors. A man in ragged clothes crawled over. Perhaps because there was not much meat on his bones, the beasts ignored him.

She watched this emaciated man crawling towards her dying, as if he was about to die with every step, but he miraculously struggled to reach her. The man raised his head with difficulty. There were two will-o'-the-wisps in his eyes, as if his whole life force was burning in them.

"God..." he shouted hoarsely, "please forgive us!"

She didn't take this strange guy seriously, and neither did the strange beasts around her. The man was praying, crying and laughing. His body was getting weaker, but his spirit was getting more excited. No one expected that he would pounce on her and bite her legs frantically.

He said: Thank you for giving us this Holy Blood and Holy Body! Thank you for sacrificing yourself for our sins, nourishing our souls, and saving us from this sinful and hopeless age! God! I am willing to serve as your servant and lead the elect into your kingdom! Let the raging beasts and the unbelievers fall into hell together!
