It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 278 It's Here

"It's here."

Amelia said softly.

"Hmm? You mean him?"

Liu Zheng pointed in the direction of that gaze.

"No, that's my guard. It's right here, just not in the same field of view as us."

Amelia said.

"You mean, it's in another dimension?"

"Dimension? Yes, I think I know what you mean. A very exquisite word. If I were still in Karkarens Academy, I might recommend you to Master Albert."

Amelia said after chewing on the word.

"Then how do I get to the dimension where it is?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Since this world has gods and technology that can turn humans into beasts, it is not a problem to have black technology that can cross dimensions.

Amelia did not answer, but raised her hand and took down the skull on the main altar, holding it in her arms.

She pressed her face against the skull's facial features like a mother cradling her child or a wife cuddling her husband.

Ten seconds later, she placed the skull on the ground.

"Take that, and put this on."

Amelia pressed a switch and a hexagonal iron cage dropped from the ceiling.

Liu Zheng took off the hexagonal iron cage and found that it fit perfectly on his head.

His nostrils opened and closed slightly, as if he smelled some indescribable smell from the iron cage.

"Can you explain the principle first?"

He asked somewhat warily.

"Have you ever had a dream, young man?"

Amelia asked back.

“Yes, but rarely.”

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and said.

Apart from those bizarre dreams, all he could remember was the erotic dream.

"Then have you ever thought that dreams are actually real?"

Amelia said.

"have not thought."

He shook his head.

"Then do you believe it?"

"Believe."

Liu Zheng said without hesitation.

"Oh? Why?"

Now it was Amelia's turn to be surprised.

"Haha, if you've been through what I've been through, you'll believe anything."

He said with a pained look on his face.

There is nothing in the metropolis, it's just a dream world, just a sprinkle of water.

“Although I don’t quite understand it, as long as you believe it, communication will be much easier.”

Amelia had no intention of asking further questions.

Xue Yu had taught her enough secrets, and she no longer had the energy to explore more knowledge.

"To put it simply, the beast is trapped in the dream world, and this skull is the link between you and its dream."

Amelia said.

"What about this hexagonal iron cage?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"This is a tool to protect your spirit. The dream world is strange and changeable. Without an iron cage to cover you, your spirit will be lost in endless dreams."

Amelia said.

"It sounds dangerous."

He curled his lips and said.

Things involving concepts like spirit, mind, and soul are basically not good things to deal with.

"It's really dangerous."

Amelia admitted frankly.

"But if it wasn't such a difficult task, it wouldn't be worth the price you offered, right, Mr. Purchaser from another place?"

Both the Grail of Tomel and the umbilical cord of the Son of God are priceless treasures and true holy objects.

Even if it was a high-quality blood gem, the church had to sacrifice the lives of countless hunters to obtain it.

If the beast had not meant so much to the church and Amelia herself, she would not have offered such a high price. "That makes sense. So how do I get out of this dream?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"As long as you kill the beast, you will automatically be freed from the dream."

"What if he didn't kill her?"

he asked again.

"Then you will have to wander in dreams forever and dance with wild beasts."

Amelia said calmly.

"Is there no other way?"

Liu Zheng asked unwillingly.

"If someone hits the cage hard, they can wake you up. But if that happens, your mind will be severely shocked and you might even turn into a madman."

Amelia said.

"Tsk, this deal is really not easy to do."

He said with empty eyes.

"There was a proverb once circulated in Karkallens College: Whatever you gain, you must first lose."

When Amelia said this, her tone finally revealed the vicissitudes of life that matched her age.

"Okay, I did it."

Liu Zheng took a covert look at the dark ceiling and put on the hexagonal iron cage.

He placed the skull on his hooves and sat cross-legged.

"and then?"

he asked.

"Please close your eyes."

Amelia said.

Liu Zheng closed his eyes as he was told, and the scent of incense drifted into his nostrils.

The warm feeling spread from the top of his head to his whole body, and soon, he felt deeply sleepy.

In a trance, he seemed to see countless wonders flashing before him like a kaleidoscope.

There is a huge blood moon, a sparkling coast, an abandoned workshop, a towering castle, and many other things that are hard to describe.

Liu Zheng's consciousness passed through these wonders but did not leave any trace.

"Reasonableness reduction exemption successful."

He was startled awake by the system's prompt, and when he woke up, he found himself standing at the door of the main hall.

The huge bronze door closed tightly, and the clergy standing guard outside disappeared.

Faintly, the roar of a wild beast could be heard coming from the bronze door.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to take out the serrated butcher knife from the system space.

"Very good, the system is still strong."

Liu Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

Although a system that can handle even the metropolis is unlikely to be blocked by the dream world, what if?
Ninety percent of his strength lies in items. If the system is really blocked, he will be at a loss on the spot.

Fortunately, what he worried about did not happen.

After thinking about it, Liu Zheng took out all the items that might be useful.

After all, the opponent may very well be a boss more powerful than Beethoven, so we still have to respect him.

He slowly pushed the door open sideways, but the expected attack did not come, and the roaring sound stopped instead.

Liu Zheng dodged and rolled into the main sacrificial hall.

However, there was still no attack.

He stood up and looked towards the center of the hall.

The original main altar has also disappeared, with only the statue of a headless angel pouring out a water bottle still remaining.

Just below the mouth of the bottle was an extremely large throne, on which lay a deformed monster.

It has a body structure similar to that of humans, but its flesh and blood have become shriveled and decayed like a mummy.

Lush and extremely long hair grew from its huge, multi-branched antlers, spreading along its back and down its arms, like thorns or wings.

The most terrifying thing was that blazing flames burned inside its body, making it look like a devil crawling out of hell.

"SI DISCTE TIBI VIS SACRAMENTUM"

A sacred and ethereal chorus suddenly sounded and echoed in the main hall.

And the beast lying on the throne also moved.

It released the claws that had been covering its face and turned its huge head towards Liu Zheng.

"Ow!"

It let out a deafening roar, then bounced high from the throne and pressed towards Liu Zheng like a flaming mountain.
