Chapter 214: Fighting Memes Together
"Excuse me, who are you two? Why are you here?" While confronting the monster, Qiong did not forget to gather information. After all... these two people were very strong at first glance. If... they were to become enemies with these two people in the future, they would not be completely in the dark.
The ranger was a little hesitant. After all, he didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, and coming to help was just instinct. Compared to the ranger, the Black Swan was much more straightforward.
She said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm on your side~"
"Hmm...why not call me that..."
But before Black Swan could finish his words, Qiong suddenly raised his head and said as if he had suddenly realized something: "I know who you are! Aponia!"
"...【The Rememberer·Black Swan】..." This sentence was spoken at the same time as Quqiong's words, so... although Black Swan heard the word...【Aponia】, he pretended not to have heard it. On the other side, the ranger relaxed after hearing the name 【Aponia】.
Because... when the [Vanguard] was still in the [Knight's House], he once told about some of his inexplicable dreams, but... the elf with a strong intuition suggested that everyone record the contents of these dreams. Her intuition told her that they might be of great use in the future.
(Note: [Vanguard] is Chen Ye’s title in [Knight’s House])
As expected, several years after defeating [Wakern], [Vanguard] disappeared, [Honkai Impact] came, and [Church] was in a panic. Only the people of [House of Knights] found the corresponding information in the dreams of [Vanguard].
Everyone... including the elves, were incredulous about this, especially the elves. She really didn't expect that her sudden idea could save their world.
Ahem... I've gone off topic. Anyway, the name [Aponia]... they did appear in the [dream] recorded by [Sniper]. And... according to the information synchronized by the guy before, [Aponia] was Brother Chen Ye's comrade before he traveled to our side.
In other words, anyone who knows someone that Big Brother Chen Ye knows must also know Big Brother Chen Ye! Thinking of this, the Ranger no longer hesitated and directly revealed his true identity -
"My name is Ye Chen, and I currently work for the [Knights]. You can call me [Ranger]. I came back... just to help, that's all... Drink!" Before the Ranger could finish his words, [Mian Mian] rushed directly towards the Ranger.
The ranger simply jumped and dodged [Mianmian]'s charge, and this... was exactly what [Mianmian] was thinking. After forcing the ranger back, [Mianmian] drifted again, and then... its tail touched the wall, and then... it exerted force suddenly and rushed towards Liuying from a tricky angle.
But... how could Qiong, who had already made a mistake once, make another mistake? As expected, Qiong's big stick directly blocked the path that [Mianmian] had to take, scaring [Mianmian] so much that he suddenly shrank in the air, then flew towards the ceiling, and finally disappeared in the thick purple mist.
At this moment, the passage to leave the dream was opened. Liuying directly pulled the still alert Qiong and rushed into the exit. Seeing this, the ranger also hurriedly followed, because... he also wanted to find out the news about Brother Chen Ye from the gray-haired boy.
But... the ranger didn't expect that this exit was not only an exit to leave this dream, but also an exit to return to reality. So, he hit a transparent barrier head-on.
As for the reason... because they did not come in through normal means, but through "power", and this "power" can set the underlying code (metaphorically).
The underlying code that the Ranger has set for this "power" is that it is impossible to passively leave the dream before finding Brother Chen Ye, unless you want to leave yourself.
This resulted in Qiong and Liuying returning to reality, but the Ranger remained in the dream for this reason, and at that moment, he could not track Qiong's consciousness.
What should I do now? The Ranger said there was no other way but to continue exploring this dream world.
But it wasn't without gain, after all... he had just entered the dream world for less than ten minutes, and he had come across such an exciting clue. This could not help but boost his confidence.
………………
"Reality Daydream Hotel"
When Qiong opened his eyes, he found the woman in purple who had saved them before appeared in front of him, which scared him.
But the Black Swan just said calmly: "You're awake, little sleepyhead. It looks like... you had a good dream."
Qiong also hurriedly got up from the dream pool, summoned a baseball bat, and looked at the black swan in front of him with a wary face, but the black swan still asked calmly: "How is it? Did you dream about me?"
But Qiong just said with a wary look: "Who are you? Why are you there? And why can you let us leave that "memory area"? "
"Huh~ It seems that you didn't hear me clearly during the battle, but... it doesn't matter. Let me introduce myself again..."
"I am a "Rememberer" of the "Flowing Light Memory Courtyard", and the reason why I appeared in that "Memory Domain" is just because I accepted a small commission from the "Navigator" of your "Starry Sky Train". "
"Because why can I let you leave that "memory area"... To be honest, everyone in the "Liuguang Memory Court" has this ability. Ye, you don't have to worry about it, it's just a necessary ability for us "memorizers."
"Phew~ Then...thank you so much."
"You're welcome. Then... welcome to reality - the "Daydream Hotel" - the place you are most familiar with and... the safest place."
After saying this, Black Swan looked left and right at Qiong's body. Qiong felt uncomfortable being looked at by her. Just as she was about to say goodbye, she heard Black Swan say again -
"I'm glad that your mental state is still normal and has not been affected by that "original dream". You are a lucky little guy."
Qiong Zhen was very sensitive in hearing the word "influence", but he completely ignored the so-called... "original dream".
Then he asked anxiously: "'Influence'? What 'influence'? Will Liuying be affected by this 'influence'? By the way, did she escape? If not, I will go back to find her now!"
The Black Swan just put his hand on his shoulder, meaning to stay calm and listen to him. Qiong did as he was told. After all... instead of going back to the "synesthesia dream" aimlessly to look for it, it would be better to listen to what the "Rememberer" said.
As expected, the Rememberer... did know where Liuying was. She said, "It seems that you care about that little girl a lot. But think about it, even in the face of death..."
"...She also tried her best to protect your safety. Tsk, tsk, tsk...I am a little moved by this. In short, the passage I opened for you is to the reality."
"As for the details... I'll tell you later. I know you have a lot of questions in your head right now, but there's no need to rush. Because before that... you should first report your safety to your companions who are worried about you."
Qiong thought so too. Black Swan said that the exit led directly to reality, and Liuying was an ordinary girl. She would definitely return to reality directly like herself.
Besides... I am still young and don't have enough knowledge about it. Maybe asking everyone can help me find a more effective way to understand fireflies.
When he ran out of the corridor and saw everyone, he heard San Yue Qi's more serious words: "How suspicious... How could it be such a coincidence? If you ask me - there is definitely something wrong with that woman!"
Then, Sister Jizi said in her elegant and intellectual voice: "But it is undeniable...she did find Qiong...and helped him leave there, so now...we can only listen to her request first."
After Sister Ji Zi finished speaking, Walter continued, "That Miss Memory is attractive for a reason, so we should be cautious."
But Qiong, who had already come near the crowd, suddenly said: "But in the face of absolute strength, there should be no need to be so cautious, right?"
"So what if you're powerful? You still can't get out?" Walter said lightly without even raising his head.
Qiong was indeed unconvinced and said, "How can you say that? I just haven't had time to find a suitable method. Otherwise, with my own strength, I will be able to come out sooner or later."
"...But I still have to thank her. Although I can come out by myself, it's better to be quick. So Uncle Yang...I mean we don't need to be so careful with him. Since we have the strength, why not be bolder?"
“At present, there is only you…” At this point, Walter paused, then slapped his head and said with sudden realization: “Look at me, I forgot that we have all been strengthened.”
"That's definitely a bit more powerful. Phew...it looks like...the 'Rememberer' lady has arrived."
"Yes, I'm here, and... Miss Himeko, I brought the child back safely."
"Well, in short... "Train Crew" thanks you for your help. We will remember this favor firmly in our hearts. And Qiong, I'm glad you're okay."
"Hmm... so... she's Jizi-nee's friend?"
And Sanyue also quickly explained: "Oh, no, I heard from Jizi that they met by chance while investigating the dream."
But unlike March, Black Swan did not refute Qiong's words, but said elegantly: "Not yet, but because of you... I may be able to take this opportunity... to deepen our understanding of each other."
