Welcome to the Nightmare Games Book 2 - Chapter 72
Regarding why the prophet could survive for more than two decades instead of being killed by the increasingly difficult monthly forced task, Qi Leren vaguely speculated because of the prophet’s original power. The source of time that he holds must have some influence on him, allowing him to evade, or to a certain extent, delaying the monthly mandatory task.
Among the holders of all fields, only the Prophet slept in the ice palace underground for most of the time. Su He also personally said, “He was the one most likely to circumvent task sanctions, if he did not lose that box. “.
Twenty-two years ago, the group of domain-level masters has now fallen into the Thai half. People who were originally players are even more disadvantaged because their monthly mandatory tasks will only become more and more difficult, and even the use of the field will be blocked. As a result, it is impossible for them to survive for 20 years. Instead, they are the pope and the queen of dragon ants. They are the aborigines of the nightmare world. Without this kind of trouble, even if their field is not strong enough, they have a longer life span than players. long.
The young prophet sitting on a swing in front of him and smiling at him with a smile on his face, gave Qi Leren a moment of misfortune. He even saw the prophet of the year in the memory of this world’s will. Although the appearance of the prophet has not changed much in the past twenty years or more, his temperament is much more lively than in the future. He is full of youthful escapes, and … I do not know the sinister innocence of the world.
This juvenile look made Qi Leren easily distinguish him from the prophets more than twenty years later, even if they had only seen two sides.
“What are you doing here?” Qi Leren asked.
“Come to know you,” said the prophet with a smile.
“…”
“I mean seriously, kind-hearted Ms. Maria, I have a task that needs your help, so please help me!” The prophet pleaded familiarly, and prayed with his hands folded in amusement.
“……what’s up?”
“After a while, the Pope will let you go to the underground ant city. You will take me with you. I promise not to do anything. You say that I will not go west. You will let me jump into the pit and never step over. Please, please!” Sincerely begged.
“Why don’t you go by yourself?” Qi Leren asked, wondering.
“Ah, the underground ant city is too far away, and I can’t fly. I rode the donkey honestly and went to the underground ant city for years and years.” The prophet looked helpless.
In the future, there will be flying machines in the hometown of dusk, but it seems that the current nightmare world does not have such advanced transportation … wait, how does he go to the underground Ant City?
“So please trouble me, be sure to bring me. I heard that the Holy City Holy See and the Dragon Ant Queen have an agreement to allow a small number of people to be directly transferred to the Jinghai Desert Parish, and you will bring me.” The Prophet begged.
“How do you know I’m going to Ant City underground?” Qi Leren asked.
The prophet’s bright smile stiffened for a second, and he suddenly asked seriously: “If I say I can see part of the future, do you believe it?”
Qi Leren looked at him deeply, and he suddenly thought of many questions, such as why is the prophet called a prophet?
“What future do you see?”
“One has experienced a lot of suffering, a lot of sacrifice, a lot of despair, but in the end … it is a beautiful future.” The prophet’s expression slowly changed from pain to relief, and he finally smiled. “It is not clear yet, but I believe what I see is true. “
“So, are you still a prophet?” Qi Leren asked.
“Okay, then you’ll call me the prophet.” The prophet said with a smile, without any hesitation, pressing his nose on his face.
Qi Leren didn’t know what to do, but he actually promised to bring the prophet. He brought the prophet to the temple cathedral again and let him wait outside. He went in to meet the pope. This time he didn’t wait for the Pope to speak, and he grabbed people first and asked with a smile, “Is it for the underground Ant City?”
This familiarity did not arouse the suspicion of the pope, and the pope sighed: “I’m afraid you need to take a trip.”
Qi Leren wanted to ask some more about the gap between the two realms, but the shadow of his identity was still seen by the pope. He didn’t dare to say anything, and quickly found an opportunity to leave.
After the first difficult period, the Qile people who came out of the Temple Cathedral were relieved, and the prophets who were outside met with a smile and nodded: “Let ’s go to the underground Ant City.”

Maria’s face was his ordinance in the Holy See. Qi Leren talked with the prophets casually along the way, and also tested his understanding of the Holy See with a smile. As a result, the prophet greatly unexpected her—he was religious. He has a lot of insights and knows about the Holy See in the nightmare world, which made him almost exposed.
“What does the foreigner’s world … look like?” Qi Leren asked knowingly.
“It ’s more peaceful than here, but that ’s it. The country I live in is peaceful, but there are wars in other parts of that world. Well, people, whether they are good or evil, selfish or selfless, are The hermit is still a fanatic. They all live in that world. Contradictions and disputes can never stop. But even with so many deficiencies, I still love there, I really hope that one day, I can return to my hometown … even if Take a closer look, and I’m satisfied. “The prophet said, laughing first, and finally the boy’s innocent face finally had a haze of his age.” But … I can’t go back. “
“It may not be so.” Qi Leren entered the nightmare world shortly before, and had hope for the future. “Don’t you say that you see a beautiful future?”
“Ah, it’s beautiful, but … there is no more me in that future.” The prophet folded his hands on the back of his head and strode forward, holding his head, as if talking about other people’s affairs, “things related to me I can’t see it, since I clearly see that future, it is not a future related to me. Hey, it seems that a heroic teenager like me is destined to make a big career and then be young Gone. “
Qi Leren couldn’t help laughing, but after a while he felt sad: “Maybe you can live longer than me.”
The prophet looked at him seriously for a while, and touched his chin and shook his head: “I can’t see it, I can’t see it, it seems that our future relationship is quite good.”
Can it be bad? Mary entrusted the Prophet with something as important as the Scepter of Hell.
By the way, **** scepter.
Qi Leren still don’t know what kind of prop it is and what effect it has, but since Maria entrusted it to him solemnly, he also urged not to let Ning Zhou come across, it must be a peace The devil and even the demon king are closely related.
“It’s getting late, we should go to Ant City underground.” The prophet pulled out a pocket watch from his clothes and looked at the time. Qi Leren casually glanced at his hand, his face suddenly changed:
Almost, he was going to shout “how can this pocket watch be with you”, but the moment he spoke, he remembered that he was in a dangerous task, and Qi Leren swallowed it back. .
Can’t ask, once asked, the picketing mechanism of the world will definitely notice his abnormality.
“This watch is very beautiful. Can you show it to me?” Qi Le asked indifferently.
“Hey, do you think it looks good too? This is my own design! Look at this metallic feel, this slightly steampunk style, is it a Victorian and big industrial age style, especially great!” The prophet excitedly put The pocket watch was taken off and handed to Qi Leren. When talking about his design, his eyes were bright.
“Steam punk …” Qi Leren suddenly understood something. The steampunk style in the field of Twilight Town is actually based on the prophet’s personal preferences.
But why such a pocket watch belonging to the prophet fell into Su He’s hands after more than two decades.
Yes, the Qile people have seen Su He open this pocket watch several times, in the dusk town, in the Madame Madonna’s castle, in the closed holy city …
What is the relationship between this pocket watch and the “box” lost by the prophet? What is the relationship between the prophet and Su He?
Countless doubts entangled into an inextricable thread in the minds of Qile people.
He looked at the pocket watch in his hand for a long time, remembering the Prophet who had fallen asleep under the frozen lake, remembering the tombstone of Maria after the dilapidated church in the Twilight Village, remembering the demon punished by the sword of judgment in the Holy See ’s former site Dragon … A kind of time and space interlaced, the sorrow of the fate will linger in his mind. He suddenly wanted to see Ning Zhou, even if he knew that when he really met, maybe he couldn’t say anything, and just looked at Ning Zhou and smiled.
The Qile people raised their heads. The sun in the holy city was bright. There was no cloud in the blue sky. The gentle wind was blowing from a distance, carrying petals from the garden of the holy tomb.
Holding the pocket watch, he couldn’t help thinking of his lover who was not beside him.
This gentle thought made him wading mountains and rivers, but had no intention to look at the scenery.
He just wanted to return to Ning Zhou sooner.
