A golden light spread out, and what appeared in front of Zhang Xiao was a magnificent room.
The golden walls are radiant, the gorgeous golden furniture is placed on the golden floor, and the golden chandeliers hanging on the roof reflect some of them. They are magnificent, and it may not be just gold, but gold.
But apart from that, there was nothing in the room, empty, nothing that could be called a living thing, and there was not even a movable decoration in the room except furniture.
This place looks like the home of someone who is getting rich, full of vulgar aesthetics. Although gold is not equated with earth, it is really unsightly to be used in such abuse.
However, these are not the reasons why Zhang Xiao swears. The real reason why Zhang Xiao is so thick is the pure gold...the coffin placed in the middle of the room.
"...This is not DIO's coffin."
As a vampire, it is reasonable and logical to sleep in the coffin, but that should not be something dio in Selma's memory would do.
Because the dio we saw in reality before obviously did not shy away from sunshine. On the contrary, sunshine was like his servant, which instead highlighted his nobility and mystery.
Of course, Zhang Xiao noticed this, long before he guessed that it was dio, but even if he later guessed that it was dio, he was not surprised, because it was not surprising that dio, which had already surpassed the world, would have changed, let alone vampires overcoming the small problem of the sun. As far as Zhang Xiao knew, it was not counted as those ways of having many flaws, but just taking into account the ways to overcome the sun, he himself knew that there were at least five.
The reason why many problems are problems is not how difficult it is, nor is that they are not capable of meeting standards, but because of their horizons. Therefore, since dio can transcend their destiny and jump out of the jojo world, Zhang Xiao believes that problems such as vampires fear light will never continue to bother him.
So if it weren't for dio, who would be the coffin in front of me?
The most important thing is, what secret does the coffin located deep in the subconscious of Selma in front of you store?
Zhang Xiao approached the coffin carefully, but unlike the traps and crises that frequently appeared in the subconscious before, the room was unexpectedly "calm".
He walked step by step until he approached the coffin, and there was no danger. No, it should be said that there was no change at all.
This did not relax Zhang Xiao, but instead became more vigilant.
"The obvious secret place has no protection. Does this mean that the biggest crisis is in this coffin?"
But even so suspicious, Zhang Xiao still wanted to open the coffin and come here. Zhang Xiao originally wanted to get a secret that Selma was unwilling to reveal, and even she might not really know.
Kakkakakakakaka...
Slowly pushing the coffin away, Zhang Xiao finally saw the secret hidden in Selma's heart.
"This is……"
Even Zhang Xiao, who was well-informed, felt incredible at this time.
...
Returning to reality from the Selma consciousness world, it seemed that the shuttle between the two worlds made Zhang Xiao feel a little tranced.
After seeing the things in the coffin, Zhang Xiao also looked for any memories of the ship. He was lucky and found relevant memories in the room near the farthest distance on the second floor.
Then he left, but leaving was not a smooth road. Influenced by Zhang Xiao’s own consciousness, the more real dio actually ran up and started an endless pursuit of Zhang Xiao.
Even in Zhang Xiao's memory, dio, who is trapped in the boundaries of the jojo world, is not easy to mess with. Even if Zhang Xiao has the nightmare of becoming a Platinum Star in the subconscious world, he is not a protagonist like Kotoshi Jotaro. Not only can he not completely kill dio, but he is also forced to be very embarrassed by dio.
Fortunately, Platinum Star is indeed powerful enough, which is completely different from Nightmare. Both the basic qualities and the ability to time pause are extremely powerful. Although it cannot completely defeat dio, it is enough to protect Zhang Xiao, and it only spent more time in that subconscious world.
However, it doesn't matter to Zhang Xiao no matter how much time he spent in that world. Of course, it was only a moment for him to return to the real world, so he could vaguely see the green light in front of him - that was the ability of the stand-in that Selma could not control after his death was gradually disappearing.
“…”
Looking at the corpse of Selma who had completely lost his voice, Zhang Xiao was speechless. He remembered the previous battle, the other party's words, the Selma's enlightenment to die together... and also remembered what he saw in the coffin deep in the other party's subconscious.
"This is the path of life. Going forward all the way to the determined goal, even if you know it is wrong, you will never look back... It's not because you don't know the truth, but because you can only see confusion when you look back."
Why is the coffin hidden in the blind spots of vision? Why is there no traps in the room where the coffin is placed? Now Zhang Xiao has understood.
Even, he gradually determined why he was sent back to this era by the consciousness of the world.
Zhang Xiao looked up at the space inside the ship that was gradually shrouded in darkness. "It's time to end all this soon... this complete farce."
...
The energy spent on Selma is not in vain.
This "rebel group" hidden in the dark in the cruise ship is indeed not a group of hot-headed mobs. They are originally dio's subordinates, and to some extent, they are completely loyal to dio even now.
Therefore, their base hidden in the hull is not only hidden, but also temporarily built.
Then there is naturally more than one route to the base, but outsiders do not know it at all.
Selma is naturally not an outsider, and even a senior executive for this "rebel" organization. If her substitute hadn't had too much advantage in this place, she would not have taken the initiative to attack the enemy. Therefore, the route Zhang Xiao dug out of her mind was naturally real and credible, and even had considerable secrets - a secret route that most of the other party's organizations did not know.
The next journey was calm, as if the crisis I encountered before was a dream. I didn’t meet a person, and there were only a few surveillance cameras that could not be seen by Zhang Xiao under the cover of nightmare.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Zhang Xiao roughly confirmed that his current location was not far from his final destination, but at this time he stopped because his body was extremely bad now.
"The physical condition is very bad, and the injury is getting worse and worse. It has taken all my energy to move alone. Although my soul power is relatively sufficient, this body itself is not enough to move."
In terms of the body itself, Selma's attack has been successful. Only the coke corpse died herself. Zhang Xiao's possessed body was almost dead. The strong radiation caused more than 95% of the body's skin burns. After more than ten minutes of development, not only was the original injury more serious, but the body did not really die due to Zhang Xiao's soul. The deformed mutation seemed to be absorbing the power of Zhang Xiao's soul and spreading everywhere in the body. Blisters and ulcers grew and spread everywhere in the body. Some of the skin became coke, and some of the body tissues were strangely proliferated, forming sarcoma of large and small.
Such a body can no longer play a great role in protecting the spirit. On the contrary, strange mutations may also affect the possessed soul. Zhang Xiao must make a choice at this time.
"Although the soul leaves the body a chronic death, if you carry this body, let alone fight, walking will be a problem..."
Zhang Xiao recalled the information he received from the subconscious mind of Selma. After comparing, he determined that the destination was not far away, but it was impossible to sneak in. Now he could only invade quickly and complete the mission before the enemy realized his target.
Zhang Xiao knew that he had no choice, and relied on his powerful soul power and the help of nightmare to take the initiative to escape from this disastrous body.
This process was not pleasant, and it even made the scalp numb than when possessed. However, with a feeling of weakness and emptiness, Zhang Xiao's body lightened and finally left his body that had accompanied him for a period of time, and a sense of liberation followed.
Zhang Xiao realized that he was right. This change in his body could indeed affect his soul. His current sense of liberation was not his imagination.
What's even more strange is that even though Zhang Xiao's soul had escaped from this deformed and mutated body, it did not immediately die as Zhang Xiao's soul left the body, and the sarcoma of all sizes on his body still rose and fall like breathing.
Even Zhang Xiao felt that he could still vaguely feel the perception of this body.
This strange feeling did not affect Zhang Xiao's plan. With a thought, Zhang Xiao controlled the nightmare to completely wrap his soul. This was an experience I had when fighting in the jojo world before. He could allow the nightmare to wrap his body, so as to control the nightmare operation like driving an exoskeleton armor, and also protect his soul.
However, something beyond Zhang Xiao's expectations happened. This time it felt like it was not like being in armor as before. This time, Zhang Xiao seemed to be truly integrated with Nightmare.
Nightmare's face, which was originally seventy-sixth-square-like to Zhang Xiao, has now become exactly the same as Zhang Xiao himself. The slightly illusory body has now condensed into reality. Although he has not met anyone yet, Zhang Xiao believes that he can be seen and even contacted by ordinary people at this time. In other words, the most buggy ability as a substitute has not been inherited by this body. It seems that Zhang Xiao has obtained another stronger body.
But in fact, this is not the case. In addition to losing his ghostly body, Zhang Xiao also obtained the ability to be a substitute.
It was a wonderful feeling. He originally used the substitute nightmare to perceive the world and use his abilities, but now he seems to be able to instinctively.
His soul and stand-in fusion seemed to have produced some changes beyond his expectations.
"Is it the difference and connection between the stand-in and the soul? It produces a certain degree of complementation? It's really a bit unexpected."
However, Zhang Xiao also found that this combination was a bit too close. It seemed that it would be much more difficult for him to escape from the nightmare now than to escape from the mutated body just now... and it might not even be able to escape.
Zhang Xiao himself had never expected this kind of thing, or it was impossible for normal substitute messengers to experience this kind of thing. After all, most substitute messengers are humans, but if you need to look at it carefully, there are such examples.
The origin of this substitute is magical. It is a substitute formed by a knife maker who was attached to the knife after his death five hundred years ago. According to the principle, it is not a substitute that can only be activated after the death of the substitute, such as the infamous big, or a cheap substitute trick that can act according to the rules even if the body dies. But when it comes to magic, in addition to being unable to move by itself, Anubis can be said to be a perfect combination of the substitute messenger and the substitute.
Ignoring the lifespan limit of human beings and having extraordinary abilities that are completely used without a cost, this can be said to be the best example of the ability of a stand-in messenger to fully obtain a stand-in.
On the other hand, the substitute has got rid of the weak body of the substitute messenger, and the substitute who has lost its restrictions has truly become an independent individual.
Zhang Xiao’s current situation is similar. He combines his soul and substitute and has completely obtained the extraordinary ability of Nightmare. Nightmare is rooted in the subconscious sea of human beings. As long as there are creatures that will have nightmares, even an immortal existence will lose the actual limitations and weaknesses of Zhang Xiao’s body.
With the two in one, Zhang Xiao and Mengyan completed complementary, and seemed to have reached another level vaguely.
Of course, Zhang Xiao cannot do this yet. He only has a premonition, because he and Nightmare are far from being inseparable from each other. Otherwise, it would not be that he could not escape from Nightmare's body, but that he could not feel that he and Nightmare were different from each other - normal people can take off their clothes, but they cannot take off their bodies. This is the same truth.
But there is no doubt that Zhang Xiao is now walking away from the level restrictions of the Trialer, not a warrior or a hero. In a sense, he is no different from those gods who hold high the gods to ignite the divine fire and condense the divine nature. In other words, the nightmare rooted in the subconscious sea of human beings is as if a nightmare manifested by some rules is far higher than ordinary gods.
Zhang Xiao, who had previously lamented that he was just a pitiful cannon fodder, has suddenly entered a situation that he had previously unimaginable.
But the same thing is true. He has just embarked on this path and has only a premonition about it. Not to mention the distant future, even if he is right in front of him, he has no certainty to defeat dio.
Shaking his head, Zhang Xiao decisively pulled back his thoughts of being offside.
"The situation is somewhat unexpected, but it is definitely a good thing for both the current stage and the distant future. I can have a broader future and fully play my stand-alone and my strength now. It is very important."
Yes, this is very important. The information you see in Selma's head is not just a secret passage, but also contains important information from the enemy.
"In addition to the German Junker who is suspected of Nazi by Carter von Heinrich, there is also something to note that the enemy has two powerful stand-in messengers."
"Selma does not fully know the ability of these three people to stand-in, but through appearance and some onlookers, Heinrich's stand-in is the most mysterious, and seems to be a kind of absolute defense. The specific record is that he once faced a sniper more than two hundred and fifty meters away. He killed the enemy without knowing it in advance."
"The second Russian, code-named vodka, is really a simple nickname for Russians, but its ability is extremely strange, and it seems to have the ability to manipulate flames, ice, and atmosphericity. I don't know what kind of substitute this is to do."
"The third is a Frenchman, a black man named Henry. His substitute is the only one who knows the name of Selma, called revolution. This should be called revolution? But his ability is still weird, and it seems that he can distort the enemy's will through language?... It's really worthy of his name."
Of course, there are more than three substitute messengers in the enemy, but according to Selma's memory, these three people are not only terrible in their abilities but also powerful in their strength, so Zhang Xiao needs to be vigilant.
Of course, what is more important is that these three people are the people who are most likely to carry "arrows".
I don’t know what Heinrich thought. The “arrow” was not always carried by him, but was kept by three people in different periods. As for whether there are more people, Selma doesn’t know, but with Selma’s strength and status, no matter how many people there are, she should be, so this message is trustworthy.
"I didn't expect that Heinrich was so courageous and handed the arrow to others."
This was indeed unexpected, and of course it really won the faith of those crazy believers, making this alternative group with faith-bound connection quite united. It can be seen that Heinrich was definitely not a stupid person, but on the contrary, he was quite smart.
The purpose of Heinrich doing this is definitely not for the safety of "arrows", but the mistakes caused trouble to Zhang Xiao.
The inability to determine the goal is why Zhang Xiao stopped here. Otherwise, if he made a rapid progress, Zhang Xiao would not have the opportunity to achieve his goal before everyone could react.
"But good and bad news are often accompanied by good news. In this case, the "arrow" is definitely on one of the three people, and it will not be hidden somewhere. In this way, as long as those three people are killed, they will definitely get the "arrow"... and those three people generally will not leave their respective residences!"
Recalling everything he knew carefully, Zhang Xiao was not delaying, and his body jumped to the ceiling above his head.
Although this place is in a cabin, the space can even be considered large, and there are lights everywhere, without any real shadows. In addition, there are enemies everywhere, although not dense, there are really no suitable routes for infiltration.
But infiltrating this kind of thing varies from person to person. With Zhang Xiao's ability to fully inherit the nightmare at this time, as long as there is a way to avoid being hit by someone head-on, he can completely avoid the eyes of others by relying on his sensing and speed advantages.
So what else would be better than the ceiling?
