The surroundings were full of fog and gray.

Occasionally, various vague shadows flashed through it, and the huge shadows twisted and stretched, as if there were terrifying monsters hiding in them.

The figure of Hu Qi emerged from the mist.

He walked forward.

With every step he took, translucent mirrors would appear under his feet, forming steps, lifting his figure forward.

The scene beneath your feet changes from time to time, including dirt roads, cities, and mountains and forests...

Chi Chi.

Just then.

There was movement below.

Looking at it, it was a spherical creature.

It has countless twisted long legs that are constantly rolling forward. Every step it takes leaves a pool of fluorescent mucus on the ground. There are still undigested stumps and broken arms squirming in the mucus.

It made a strange cry from its mouth.

Wow!

Just then.

From nowhere, a wave of waves suddenly appeared.

He swatted it away directly.

The next second.

Amid the waves, a winged octopus poked its head out.

Its wings were made of old sails, with strange runes painted on them. Various voyager's relics were hung on its tentacles, which were dripping with seawater and dark red blood.

Two thick, black tentacles covered with suckers were like pythons, wrapped directly around the green slime monster, and dragged it over with a huge force.

But the next second.

The scene changed again.

A huge pit suddenly appeared on the ground, and both of them were swallowed up, including the sea water.

If you look carefully, you will find that there is some kind of deep pit here. It is clearly a big mouth, after eating two monsters.

A huge white tongue poked out, and it was covered with pale white faces that looked numb and twisted.

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

A huge palm with no skin and exposed blood-red tendons fell from the sky and flattened the big mouth.

There are many situations like this. This place is full of weirdness and weirdness, changing all the time.

It's just that these monsters are in a translucent state, like illusions.

Regarding this situation, Hu Qi looked normal.

Because this place is originally deep in the Mind Realm, that is, within Nightmare Gap.

According to the memory contents of Fox Three and Blood Script.

The Dream Eye of this world all come from the depths of this Nightmare Gap.

This is also the reason why in the previous Blood Script, the control dispatched script actors to randomly send Dream Eye to the gap to collect Dream Eye.

Dream Eye is like a nightmare, full of weird and absurd power.

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

Now after entering True Body Realm, Hu Qi wants to explore this Nightmare Gap.

If Mind Realm is the gathering place of the souls of all living beings, then the dream world is a deeper concept, and Nightmare Gap can be understood to be a deeper dream.

Keep moving forward.

A nightmare power was constantly rippling around him, clearing the fog ahead.

This world is very special.

Mind Realm is a gathering of the souls of all living beings and exists attached to the real world.

It stands to reason that every living world will have its own Mind Realm.

For example, the previous Planet Earth.

However, although Mind Realm of Planet Earth can sense it, it cannot be compared to this world at all.

Mind Realm in this world is extremely powerful and stable.

Because of the existence of Dream Eye, people can even enter Mind Realm.

This situation is simply impossible to happen in Planet Earth.

Even the body of Hu Qi, in Planet Earth, can only enter through the soul, and Mind Realm cannot carry the physical body at all.

This is not to say that the main body is weak, but because there are differences in the world, Planet Earth and Mind Realm are too fragile.

At this moment, as he continues to deepen.

The scene in front of me keeps changing.

Those originally translucent buildings and monster bodies continued to solidify.

Just like Hu Qi is getting closer to the world where these things exist.

After another ten seconds.

Take one step forward with Hu Qi.

A feeling appears as if passing through a membrane of water flow.

At the same time, a sense of down-to-earth comes out.

The fog dissipated quickly like a gauze curtain.

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

Looking around, he found that he was in an alleyway of a city, and the damp ground exuded a putrid smell.

The walls were covered with unknown vines, and the vines were shimmering with blood, like living veins in the human body.

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

This is a modern city, but there is absurdity and weirdness everywhere.

The houses on both sides of the street look weird, some look like giant dolls, with empty eyes staring ahead.

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

Electric sparks flashed from time to time at the joints.

Some houses even float in the air, defying gravity.

And above the sky.

A city like an inverted mirror, suspended from the dome like a ghost.

Everything in the city appears in a chaotic manner.

The spiers of tall buildings point downward, rooted in the empty sky.

Vehicles were like beetles hanging upside down, driving crazily in reverse on the upside-down streets.

Among them were strange and twisted figures, floating and wandering from head to foot.

"Is this what is called a deep dream?"

Hu Qi's eyes narrowed.

His eyes were fixed on the bizarre scene in front of him, and there was an imperceptible wave in his expression.

Deep dreams.

According to the information he obtained.

It buries all kinds of negative and dark thoughts in the hearts of all living beings, as well as the weird and absurd Final Land.

The nightmares experienced by ordinary people are just sporadic images glimpsed in the edges and gaps of nightmares, briefly experiencing some horrors.

But once you accidentally step into this deep realm of dreams, you feel like you have fallen into a huge invisible net, with almost no possibility of breaking out.

The interpretation of this deep dream in reality is.

It is like a strange space with self-awareness, and its interior circulates.

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

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

However, these are only secondary.

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

"Uncle! Do you want to buy balloons?"

An unexpected childish voice suddenly sounded from one side.

I saw a boy who looked about eleven or twelve years old appeared at some point.

The boy's lower body was normal, just like an ordinary child.

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

The face that was supposed to have all the facial features now only had one eye and mouth.

The huge one-eye emitted a faint red light like Blood Moon, occupying half of the face.

And the grinning mouth was densely covered with a row of fine and sharp teeth, which shone with an icy cold light in the dim light.

The boy holds a bundle of balloons tightly in his hands.

These balloons are actually human heads with different expressions.

Those heads were either twisted in pain or laughing ferociously.

What was used to tie the head balloon was actually a creepy slender intestine, which was still faintly stained with wet blood and exuded a pungent fishy smell.

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

"Uncle, why are you ignoring me?"

The boy's voice sounded again.

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

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

"Uncle, don't you have money? It doesn't matter. Give me the balloon you are wearing and how about we change it?"

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

Seeing this, Hu Qi stopped.

His eyes swept over the boy.

"Which one do I want?"

"Of course!"

Hearing Hu Qi speak, the corners of the boy's mouth raised.

Just one second.

His smile froze on his face.

The palm that was holding the balloon involuntarily loosened its grip.

Those balloons with human heads seemed to have been given a new life and kept laughing.

Dragging its intestines, it quickly flew up into the sky, swaying under the dark sky like a group of strange ghosts.

The boy covered his neck tightly with both hands and made a strange gurgling sound in his throat.

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

Only the big head was freed from the restraints of the body and suspended in mid-air.

There was still shock and fear on his face that had not yet dissipated.

However, due to the lack of rope binding, the head flew directly upwards.

Soon, it reached a certain height and stopped.

At this time, the head balloons that originally flew away from his hands quickly gathered towards the boy's head.

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

The oozing sound of flesh and blood being torn was heard.

"No... don't... ah..."

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

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

Hu Qi does not have multiple tubes.

Go straight forward.

That thing just now was the embodiment of a nightmare deepest in the souls of all living beings.

It is not 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 own time to satisfy 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 encountered various monster attacks.

However, no matter what kind of monster.

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

These monsters seemed to have a certain level of sanity, but not many of them. After seeing their companions dying, they continued to attack Hu Qi.

After discovering this.

Hu Qi directly releases a hint of Dream Eye.

There are hundreds of Dream Eye devoured by him. Even if only a trace is revealed at this moment, it is extremely terrifying.

For a moment.

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

Even after sensing the aura of Hu Qi, they would stay away.

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

Soon, Hu Qi arrived in the center of the city and stepped into a building.

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

The stairs on the side look relatively normal.

Anyone with a normal mind can detect the strange aura permeating this place.

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

A 'ding dong' sound.

Hu Qi reached out and pressed the elevator button.

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

He stepped into the elevator. The interior decoration was no different from that of an ordinary elevator. There was only a slightly outdated advertisement for selling a house on one side. In the advertisement, there was a young woman with a strange smile on her lips.

However, after noticing Hu Qi's gaze.

The corners of her originally cracked mouth tightened a bit and turned into a normal smile.

Hu Qi ignored it.

He raised his hand and pressed the button for 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 was smiling in the house sale advertisement blinked her eyes, her body trembling slightly, and her eyes looked at Hu Qi's leaving back with fear.

Hu Qi is naturally aware of the situation behind him.

It's just that these things cannot provide him with Modification Points, 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 surrounding walls are covered with all kinds of paintings, including abstract paintings, realistic paintings, impression paintings, meticulous paintings, and freehand paintings.

The One and Only The same thing is that the scenes in these paintings are all kinds of weird and bloody pictures that tend to be dark.

When Hu Qi passed by, he could even clearly feel the lines of sight projected from it, observing Hu Qi in a vague and fearful way.

for these things.

Hu Qi is not multi-tube.

He went 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 glowed faintly.

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

Hu Qi Standing in front of the painting, you can clearly hear the sound of waves hitting the rocks, and you can even feel the moist water vapor hitting your face.

He stretched out his hand curiously, trying to touch the picture. Strangely, his palm passed through the frame without any hindrance, as if the painting did not exist in this space.

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

The One and Only The difference is that there is a thin paper made of some kind of animal skin in the hand.

When you open it up, you will see that it is the corner of the painting in front of you.

About one-tenth.

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

"Interesting..."

If his guess is good.

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

"If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be Strange Painting. Is it possible that I need to collect all Strange Painting Fragment before I can enter it?"

Hu Qi said to himself.

Look at this thing in your hand.

He could clearly feel the intense nightmare power permeating above.

Compared to other Dream Eye, it is more intense.

Records about it emerged in his memory.

Strange Painting, one of the nine Primal Dream Eye.

Compared with other Primal Dream Eye, it is more mysterious.

Appeared very early.

Even Fox Three and Blood Script don't have many records about it.

I just know that this thing exists.

I don't know what this Dream Eye looks like or what abilities it has.

All we know is that for tens of millions of years, the most powerful Dream Controller of each generation has been looking for traces of Strange Painting.

Among them is the one Dream Controller who calls himself 'Tian'.

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

But now I speculate based on what I saw.

It didn't seem to be what he thought.

But there are other reasons.

As for the 'Heaven', it is very likely that he did not die, but entered Strange Painting.

"This all seems to be getting more and more interesting."

Hu Qi's eyes flashed.

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

It may even be Heavenly Mandate Person of an era.

These people have all looked for traces of Strange Painting. Is it possible that they are also searching for the source of Dream Eye like him?

If there are only one or two, that's it.

All of them.

This possibility seemed to him almost impossible.

Then these people have other purposes.

It is obviously not easy to find traces of Strange Painting.

But this does not stump Hu Qi.

Because there was no need for him to look for it.

This kind of thing can be left to Wei Fan.

The other party is Heavenly Mandate Person of this era.

Not surprisingly, they should also be looking for clues about Strange Painting.

And he only needs to be responsible for cutting off the beard.

Think of this.

He took one step forward and disappeared directly.

Inside a mountain.

Surprisingly, there is a huge space.

The surroundings were dark and dim.

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

The carvings are like pythons, winding and intricate.

It is covered with dense holes, inlaid with white beads that emit a faint light.

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

below.

The verandah hall with double eaves is majestic, with flying eaves and brackets, like a peng lifting up the sky.

Boom!

suddenly.

A large hole was opened in the wall of one of the halls, and sand and stones flew into the air.
