After handing over his business card, Aventurine turned around and left.
Morien held the card between his thumb and forefinger and turned it around in his hand.
Suddenly, he rubbed it gently with two fingers.
The business card in front of me was split into two.
Aventurine stacked the two cards together and handed them to Morien.
What overlapped behind the business card was the black savings card, which contained 50,000 Credits.
But when Morien reached out to take the card, he clearly saw only one card.
Even his Eyes of Mystery Prying couldn't see any problems at the time.
Morien played with this savings card and smiled.
"Oh, that's a good magic trick." He praised with a smile.
Not bad.
Then, Morien put the card in his pocket, took the won tokens, and poured them into a bag. Then he stood up and walked to a food stall not far away.
This is a food stall in Aideen Park. The tokens won in the park can be used to purchase any goods in this park0
The food stall is not big, there is only one window for eating, and there is no dining space inside the store. However, there are several sets of tables and chairs outside the store.
When I came to the window, I bought a set meal with the tokens I won. Morien was holding the plate and was about to find a seat to sit down.
"Hey, this way, this way." Morien suddenly heard someone calling him.
Looking along the sound, he saw Sparkle's swaying twin tails, so he walked over.
"Why are you here? Are you over there?" Morien put the dinner plate on the table in front of Sparkle and sat down opposite her.
"It's over for the time being." Sparkle replied, taking a fries from Morien's plate and putting it into his mouth. "We have successfully sent Little Gray-Hair and that Firefly into a real dream."
"I think they should be happily experiencing the escape room right now."
Morien didn't stop her, just watched her take it.
"When I think about it, I feel a little envious." Morien said, "I really want to join in the fun, but it's a pity that I can't get in."
"Why can't you get in?" Sparkle asked in confusion, "Haven't you figured out how to get in?"
It shouldn't be, they have talked during this time, Morien shouldn't be able to detect the real dream.
"Don't you have a bug in the form of a meme? Can that bug be used as Memokeep?"
"At least show some respect to "Memokeep"," Morien complained, "But I can't get in."
He spread his hands.
"Someone doesn't really want me to come in."
"And I probably can't break through their blockade."
"Yeah." Sparkle looked at Morien, his eyes a little incomprehensible, "Stellaron Hunters?"
"Yes----" Morien glanced at her, unpacked the burger and took a bite, "What's that look in your eyes?"
Resonance Curse Technique This is very good. You can chat while eating without having to use your mouth to talk.
"Nothing." Sparkle waved his hands.
"So, are you interested in that place?" Sparkle held a French fries in his hand and looked for it on Morien's plate, only to find that he didn't take the ketchup at all.
"Actually, it's not bad. It's just a transitional station." Morien took a sip of the drink, "The one I want to enter is actually the Reverie Dreamscape."
"After all, I've been here for a while, so I feel like I'm missing out if I don't open the map."
"The Reverie Dreamscape?"
"Is that place called the Reverie Dreamscape?" Sparkle nodded.
"Huh? You don't know? I thought you already knew." Morien was also a little confused.
"I only know that there is such a place, but I don't know what it is specifically called?" Sparkle replied.
"By the way, why don't you get some ketchup?" Sparkle looked at the fries on the plate and asked Morien.
"Eating French fries without dipping them in ketchup is soulless." Sparkle said.
"Nonsense!" Morien immediately reprimanded, "If you eat French fries, you should eat them plain. French fries with ketchup added are not delicious at all."
"Huh?" Sparkle looked at Morien and shook his head vigorously.
"You really don't know how to eat at all. You are just wasting your natural resources!" She said with an expression that showed she was sad for her misfortune and angry at her.
"Obviously you don't know how to eat it. French fries are already crispy and crispy. Just sprinkle a little salt on them and you can eat them."
"You dipped the fries in ketchup and they became soft and sour and sweet. How should you eat them?"
A red toy gun appeared out of thin air in Sparkle's hand, pointing it at Morien.
"Damn it, Master Sparkle is going to kill you, you heretic."
"Even if you kill me, the fries are still delicious without ketchup." Morien picked up another fries and put it in his mouth.
"Well, then go to hell, heretic."
Sparkle Master didn't say much and just pulled the trigger.
Bang.
Gunshots were fired.
Morien suffered an invisible blow to his forehead, causing him to fly backwards with the chair.
"I'm going----Are you serious?" Morien asked blankly.
Although it didn't hurt, she did shoot.
Morien noticed that the moment Sparkle fired the gun, the surrounding environment shattered like glass.
The light became dim, and the lively crowds around disappeared. The entire park became extremely deserted, with blue and gold Dream Bubble floating in the air and leaning against the corner.
This is the mezzanine of dreams.
"Oh?" Morien, holding French fries in his hand, exclaimed.
Silver Wolf's blockade was just broken by Sparkle?
No--probably not.
Sparkle only briefly allowed him to escape from the surface dream and enter the interlayer of the dream.
It won't be long before he returns to his original position.
Morien seems to have escaped gravity and is in a state of weightlessness, floating in mid-air, thinking aimlessly.
Ah----Sparkle is still so surprised----
However, after spending a few days together, he was almost used to it.
He looked around.
Sparkle sent him here, and it seems that he is going to have to find his own way to the Reverie Dreamscape.
But----what can he do?
While thinking, a dark Monster hung from the ceiling.
It looks like a long worm, with five equally slender claws, four of which are its limbs, and the fifth is its head. Its head looks like a claw with an eyeball embedded in the middle, and eyes appear on the surface of the body.
In front of its claw-like head, the purple eyes turned and looked at Morien, which was in a weightless state.
This is a Memory Zone Meme. Its name is very long, called, "Something Unto Death".
Memory Zone Meme is an entity that contains specific cognition, formed from the accumulation of subconscious fragments in Memoria Zone.
Among them, the concept of "death" turned into this meme.
It wanders throughout Twelve Moments. There are legends that wherever it touches, there will be unforeseen disasters, spreading bad news with sharp blades and shrouding dreams with the shadow of death.
Morien noticed the movement behind him. When he turned around, he immediately saw this meme.
But Morien was not afraid at all. He smiled and said hello to the other party.
"Oh, it's you."
"Good evening, Somnus Dale."
This meme actually has a very cute nickname, called "Somnus Dale". Its main task is actually to transport people to and from the surface dreamland and the Reverie Dreamscape.
Its personality is completely opposite to its appearance. It is very docile and can act coquettishly, a bit like a puppy.
It has severe separation anxiety, and Gallagher has been taking care of it. Later, when Gallagher disappeared because its existence of Lie was exposed, it kept trying to find Gallagher, but was caught by others, put in a cage, and beaten every day.
Looking at Morien, Somnus Dale seemed not to have expected that this person who fell from the surface dreamland would recognize him.
Its claw-like mouth trembled slightly and made a sound.
"Late--------Okay----"
"Hmm."
Morien hummed slightly, maintaining the feeling of weightlessness, and stretched out his hand to touch it.
Phew.
A purple sharp blade penetrated his chest from back to front.
The blue "blood" composed of Memoria exploded and scattered on the opposite wall.
What runs through Morien is the tail of Somnus Dale.
"Well----it hurts a bit----"Morien watched the sharp blade pierce through his chest, but he didn't panic.
He raised his head and looked at Somnus Dale behind him.
"Although I don't know if there will be a next time, can you use a gentler method when you teleport for me next time?
he asked.
Although it seems a bit incredible, this is indeed how Somnus Dale helps people travel between two dreams.
By "death".
Before he could say a few more words, Morien's body exploded, turning into Memoria and completely collapsed.
Somnus Dale's head moved and turned to one side, seeming a little confused.
As Memory Zone Meme, which takes "death" as its concept, it actually doesn't think there is anything "ungentle" about this method.
Doesn't it kill him instantly? It doesn't hurt much.
And this has been improved. In the past, hangings were used, and the teleporter had to kick his legs and hang in the air for a long time.
If you don't understand it, then don't think about it.
Somnus Dale moved his tail, opened a crack in mid-air, and got back in.
At the same time, in the surface dream.
Sparkle looked at Morien who disappeared after being shot by him, and blew on the muzzle of the toy gun.
"The extermination of heresy is completed." She said with a smile.
Then she jumped off the chair, came to Morien's seat, and lifted the bag that Morien had placed on the chair next to her.
There are the tokens Morien just won.
"Humph, anyway, you are in a deep dream and don't need this anymore, so Master Sparkle will help you spend it." Sparkle said with a smile.
"Consider this the reward you gave me."
"Well----and----" She suddenly rolled her eyes, left her seat, and went to the window to get a bottle of ketchup.
"Jiejiejiejie."
She smiled, approached the table with ketchup, and said to herself, "You know? Before your fries were completely dyed with ketchup, they thought you would come to save them!"
"Jiejiejiejie."
Slowly opening his eyes, Morien looked around.
Drowsy environment, old houses, dark and narrow streets, garbage bags everywhere----
After being "killed" by Somnus Dale, he appeared here.
This is his destination, the Reverie Dreamscape.
Morien feels that the surrounding environment is a bit similar to the slums that Mysteries World has seen.
However, because the development of the times is relatively advanced, the environment here does not look so backward.
So it's a slightly more advanced slum.
Soon, he found a plaque.
It was written in words with some paint peeling off:
Sleeptown.
It seems that this is the name of this city.
Tick-tock----tick-tock----
He heard the sound of water drops falling on the ground.
Looking sideways, there is a dilapidated water pipe next to it. It looks like it is in disrepair, and water is constantly dripping on the ground.
Biologists believe that keeping the ground constantly moist is how water pipes mark their territory.
Just like a puppy.
Morien did not disturb the Mr. Plumber, and started walking around the streets.
Far from the dazzling surface dream, the Reverie Dreamscape seems very backward and dark, but this contrast also feels quite flavorful.
And this contrast also brings about a special custom.
Trash can culture.
"Sir, please stay and let me introduce you to my beliefs."
"The great Trash Can King, the God of Trash Cans who protects thousands of barrels."
Morien was called.
At a corner, a man stopped Morien.
Wearing a suit that was not too clean, he stood next to a silver trash can, stopped Morien who was passing by, and talked endlessly about the god he believed in.
He calls himself "Trashcan's Envoy".
In his mouth, God of Trash Cans poured into the world, and nine thousand eyes flickered on 30,000 barrels and 60,000 arms. Its power made the barrels no longer rust, and its gaze made inorganic things flourish.
"Trash Can King is kind, rubbish and rusty."
"I feel that your description may offend Abundance Followers." Morien kindly reminded me.
Trashcan's Envoy paused a little awkwardly after hearing this.
"Uh--in our teachings, Aeon is just the incarnation of Trash Can King. It's normal to have similarities!"
Now I have provoked all the fanatical believers of Aeon.
The man continued to pull Morien to preach.
"Have you seen this Iron Bucket next to me? This is Trash Can King's sacred object in the human world. It is the rusted divine body before he set foot on Path of the Bucket."
"As long as you sincerely believe in Trash Can King, any of your wishes will come true and all diseases will be cured. Even if you touch this Iron Bucket casually, the divine body will bring you good luck."
"Everyone is actually a barrel, just put on a human body. When you embark on the road of Path of the Iron Bucket, you will lose your disguise and show your true appearance."
Morien nodded, thoughtfully.
"What prevents you from transcending is an evil thing called money. All the misfortunes you encounter come from this poisonous curse."
"So Trash Can King lowered his divine body. As long as you invest money in this Iron Bucket, he will bear the corresponding suffering on your behalf."
"Really? This is really interesting." Morien looked at Trashcan's Envoy with a smile.
"I very much want to believe you."
The man immediately smiled.
"So----"
"So," Morien stretched out a hand and patted his shoulder, interrupting him, "Then since you admire the bucket so much."
"You just become a trash can."
"Don't worry, I'm always willing to help."
