Ark of the Immortal

Something influenced me to want to go to the seaside, but I didn't go. As long as I walked on the road to the seaside, there would be no obstacles on the way.

The closer you are to a safe zone in this danger, the more you can feel the problems.

It was precisely because of this that neither of them chose to go to the beach.

Yes, me too. I first tried to enter other rooms in the camp to look for people who were still awake. But they would either attack me directly after the encounter, or lure me forward and enter a trap.

Carmen looked at Kelsey and said.

During this period, I emptied the camp three times. During these three times, I killed almost all of my own people staying in the camp. But there was only one person who did not show up.

With that said, Carmen turned her attention to the undead.

Mr. Immortal, you didn't enter a dream, did you?

Well, I didn't. Sleep.

The immortal nodded.

Where is this gentleman?

Carmen looked at Logos next to her again.

In my memory, I have never met you.

I didn't sleep, Your Excellency Carmen.

Logos also said frankly.

Perhaps the people you saw in the dream did not include those who woke up?

If this is the case, then this dream is interesting.

Kelsey listened to the conversation between several people, her mind spinning wildly, linking the information together.

That is to say, Mr. Carmen has experienced twenty-six times in the dream, and I have experienced fifty-six times. The number of restarts should not be fixed. But the time of our awakening is not very different.

Furthermore, Mr. Carmen and I have never seen the undead in dreams, or we have never seen Mr. Undead use his power.

This dream can simulate the power of all of us and limit it. But there is no way to reproduce the power of the immortal, nor can we reproduce the power of people who have not entered the dream.

After saying that, Kelsey frowned again.

No, I've seen the undead once, just before I woke up.

Then, Kelsey quickly overturned his theory.

No...that time, what I saw of you was very blurry, not as clear as others at all.

Carmen listened, and he took the lantern behind him and put it in front of everyone.

The flame in the lantern was leaning against the bonfire, and the outer flame was faintly drifting towards the bonfire.

Perhaps the things that can emerge in this dream are limited by our cognition, or maybe it is a combination of all our dreams?

Moreover, Mr. Undead is very vague. This may be a signal, a signal that the dream is about to collapse.

It was only in the last two dreams that I remembered to find Mr. Immortal. On the way to Mr. Immortal, I encountered the most violent obstacles.

The last time, I successfully arrived at the door of Mr. Undead's room, then lost consciousness and returned to reality.

In other words, the undead did not appear clearly in their dreams, and they left the dream after several restarts after remembering the undead.

The Immortal was also a little surprised.

If you put it this way, doesn't he become an anchor that fixes dreams and reality?

As long as what they see is an immortal, a clear immortal, does that mean they have returned to reality?

To be honest, this inference is a bit arbitrary.

Kelsey doesn't want to limit speculation to that, she said.

However, it seems that the undead are the key to our escape from the dream. So what is the reason? Why?

Kelsey and Carmen simultaneously turned their attention to the undead, hoping to get answers from the undead.

The undead man did not speak. He just silently picked up a piece of dry firewood from the side that he had asked for from the sergeant last night, broke it in half, and threw it into the bonfire in front of him.

In fact, today's bonfires have the existence of spiral swords, and firewood is no longer needed.

But this has become a habit among the immortals.

The undead man answered the two of them silently, he didn't know.

Okay, although I didn't figure out the result, at least I found the key point.

Kelsey sighed.

But at this moment, Logos spoke.

His tone was doubtful.

Why should we pay attention to this, even if Mr. Undead is indeed a key player in the dream. But we are so sure, will we fall into this weird dream again?

Kelsey and Carmen were stunned at the same time.

The moment Logos asked this question, they realized that their thoughts seemed to be fixed.

And why would we think about entering a dream again instead of thinking about how to wake someone else up? Isn't that the most important thing right now?

Logos' words at the critical moment made the two of them wake up from a dream.

Dr. Kelsey, are you still thinking clearly?

strangeness...

Kelsey rubbed her forehead. She seemed to be affected by something unknowingly.

Logos, you're right. The most important thing now is to think about how to wake the others up.

Carmen also fell into a rare silence.

He grabbed the lantern and stared into the flames.

After a few seconds, Carmen breathed a sigh of relief and turned her eyes away from the cleansing fire.

If our thinking is being influenced by others without knowing it, then who can guarantee that we are in the waking world now?

Carmen's words stopped both Kelsey and Logos.

The undead man stretched out his hand to Kelsey.

hand.

Kelsey didn't ask the undead man what he wanted to do, but directly stretched out his hand.

The undead man grabbed Kelsey's hand, and the flames in the undead body poured into Kelsey's palm in an instant.

It made a full circle along her body and then came back again.

no problem.

But if your thinking is affected, you can't detect it.

That's what Kelsi said, but her expression was still a little more relaxed.

Thanks.

There is no doubt that the immortal means that the two of them will not fall into self-doubt.

The basis for staying awake is to believe in the results of your own thinking.

There was another strange silence.

This is the first time for the immortal to see Kelsey who is so silent.

After the conversation with the doctor, Kelsey no longer seemed as aggressive as before.

On the contrary, it was when Kelsey questioned the undead this morning that the undead regained some of his original feelings when facing Kelsey.

In the end, it was Kelsi who spoke.

No matter how much, since Mr. Immortal will not be affected, all we need to remember now is that the Immortal serves as the anchor of reality.

Once any of us discovers any anomaly in the environment we are in, we should immediately confirm our memory of the undead. After discovering the anomaly, we should immediately try to find the undead.

Kelsey glanced at Carmen as if pointing.

Then... Your Excellency Carmen, have you heard of such a situation before?

This was a situation Kelsey had never encountered before. After jumping out of her thinking cocoon, she immediately asked Carmen.

some.

Carmen nodded, he said.

Just after the Great Quiet occurred, the seaside was regarded as a no-go zone. This happened in some areas near the coast for a period of time.

At that time, after the church awakened some people with cleansing fire, others also recovered quickly. Although some people were missing, there was no subsequent impact on those who were awake. So at that time, the church just regarded this situation as a The legacy of the Great Silence.”

Carmen rubbed her hands.

This is also the first time I have personally experienced a dream. If I had known it was such a strange event, maybe I shouldn't have let go of the clues.

Great silence.

This is not the first time that the undead man has heard this word. In the previous conversation with Scout, Scout also mentioned that incident to the undead man.

That event marked the beginning of Iberia's decline. The specific causes and circumstances are known only to a few people.

These people either disappeared for a period of time after the Great Silence, or were controlled by Iberian officials.

So, the Great Silence, what happened?

The undead man vaguely felt that this dream might be related to the major incident decades ago.

Carmen shook her head.

I can't remember anymore.

Everyone turned their attention to Carmen, who could only say a little apologetically.

I'm very sorry, but I really can't give an answer. I did experience the Great Silence, but not long after, I forgot about the relevant situation and only remembered that such a thing happened.

Memory, interference?

the immortal asked.

I don't know, I almost forgot what I did that year and where I was during the Great Silence.

Carmen's tone was also a little confused.

It's like being covered with a layer of fog, and the memory gradually disappears. The only impression left is that, just like its name, when the Great Silence occurs, no sound can be heard, infinite quiet and silence .”

When she heard this description, the fire girl, who had not spoken a word during the whole process, loosened her grip on the undead gauntlet.

The undead man turned to look at the fire girl beside him.

? Seemingly sensing the immortal man's doubts, the fire girl smiled and shook her head, indicating that she had no problem.

I'm not sure... I can't give an answer, I need more information.

Carmen ended his memory of the Great Silence and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that recalling this incident is also somewhat difficult for him.

Anyway, let's try the cleansing fire first. When a similar incident happened last time, we used the cleansing fire to successfully wake up some people who were trapped in dreams.

Can.

Kelsey agreed, this is the only way that can be thought of at the moment.

And just when everyone was about to go out, kick open the doors one by one, and test the cleansing fire.

Another burst of rapid footsteps sounded from the window.

Everyone only had time to turn their attention to the window when they saw a black figure crash into the window.

Wow...

The whole piece of glass shattered, and the sound of broken glass falling to the ground came one after another, and at the same time, a figure slowly fell to the ground.

Scout holds a crossbow in his left hand, a short knife in his right hand, and a long musket he carries on his back.

The eyes hidden under the goggles swept over everyone, and finally settled on the undead.

Immortal...
