Chapter 436 Confusion
Uh-huh!
Chen Lun suddenly sat up from the bed.
His solemn gaze quickly scanned the surrounding environment, and he found that he was in an unfamiliar room, and he could clearly smell the rich fragrance of flowers in his nose.
It was dark outside the window, and the faint light of the purple moon poured in through the window sill, making the atmosphere slightly quiet. Confusion flashed in his mind, and Chen Lun remembered that he was in Mrs. Caroline's apartment.
‘Can the influence of Sleeping Gate even continue into the present world...’
He immediately became extremely wary of the door that he must pass through to the dream world.
Swish!
Several more small figures appeared beside Chen Lun's bed.
It was those dozen black cat warriors.
"Where is this...?!"
Nada climbed up and shook his head in a daze. He subconsciously picked up the giant ax beside him and observed the unfamiliar environment vigilantly.
When the black cat warriors saw Chen Lun sitting on the bed, their faces showed joy and respect, and they quickly raised their paws in salute.
"Lord Beloved!"
Nada asked again with a curious look on his face:
"Is this the real world?"
Chen Lun nodded towards them, then raised his index finger to his lips.
"Yes, this is the real world...but please keep quiet first, otherwise it will cause unnecessary commotion."
"We listen to you."
Na Da suddenly understood and said cautiously.
It turned its head and communicated in a low voice with its black cat brothers, and then they all instantly turned into good babies, put away their weapons, and squatted on the ground.
It's just that their curious eyes can't help but glance around, looking at the environment. The cats are sneaky and funny.
Chen Lun smiled and then turned his attention to the next room.
After listening quietly for a while, through [Five Senses], he sensed that Mr. Taut was still sleeping in bed, breathing steadily.
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
'Um? Is Mr. Tote still trapped in the dream world...? ’
He told the black cats not to wander around the room, and he used teleportation to cross a wall and appear next to Mr. Totter.
After a brief investigation, Chen Lun let out a sigh of relief.
‘It turns out it was just spiritual fatigue and he fell into a drowsiness… By the time dawn comes, he should be able to wake up like a normal person. ’
Glancing at the clock on the wall, it was already two o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Caroline had already fallen asleep, and Chen Lun couldn't disturb her, so he returned to his room.
Chen Lun poured himself a glass of water, then turned to them and asked:
"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
"It doesn't matter, Lord Beloved, we are used to it."
Nada waved his hand quickly.
However, its stomach grumbled in protest, and soon it was like a chain reaction, causing bowel sounds throughout the room, one after another, like a symphony.
The black cats lowered their heads in embarrassment.
It is not easy for them to survive in the dream world. As pollution intensifies, food becomes increasingly scarce, and starvation is common.
Chen Lun smiled and shook his head, looking at the black cat warriors with pity.
They are all extraordinary creatures with simple personalities. Even though they possess strength comparable to mid-sequence extraordinary beings, they are now just like ordinary stray cats, causing people to sympathize.
"Don't worry, the material wealth in this world is not as poor as in the dream world... You will not be hungry again in the future."
Chen Lun took out a stack of dry food noodles, as well as some dried meat and canned meat from the blood poem ring. He placed the kettle on the table next to the food, and then raised his hand to signal.
"Let's make do with these for now. When daybreak comes, we will follow you back to the base. Then we can eat something good."
"Thank you, Lord Beloved!"
Nada quickly thanked him.
The black cats saluted gratefully and immediately wolfed down the food.
Chen Lun looked at them with a smile, then leaned on the head of the bed, his eyes lowered.
He began to think about his experiences in the dream world and the end of darkness. Many questions swirled in his mind, making Chen Lun confused.
‘If Arnold is really another prince of the sun royal family as I guessed, then why does he stay at the end of darkness? Could the sinner in Dazlet’s mouth refer to Arnold...’
He frowned slightly.
'And how strong is Arnold? He can single-handedly cut through countless years at the end of darkness. Even if only his body is left, he can still isolate most of the spread of polluting insect waves... If it weren't for him, would the world have already been destroyed? Facing a terrible disaster? ’
Chen Lun took a deep breath and took out the ring token that Arnold had given him in the fairyland. The short sentence "Hunt the darkness forever" was engraved on the inside.
Gently rubbing the ring with his thumb, he wondered if he could find an opportunity to ask Princess Anna for relevant information.
As a veteran plot party player, Chen Lun sensed from these clues an important task regarding the secrets of the royal family... Perhaps, he could dig them out and obtain huge rewards.
There was silence for a while.
Chen Lun shifted his thoughts again.
He recalled the huge and ferocious black-red "star" he had seen at the end of the darkness...
'From it...or the black substance dripping from its surface, countless Didak bug-men were born. According to Philip, the Didak bug-men all originated from Distedak, the father of darkness, the ancient god... Then Could that black-red star be the ancient god? ’
Chen Lun's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
'However, the extraordinary knowledge I gained through long-distance observation is the Black Sun Path, and the deity at the end is the Deep Mother... What is the true nature of the black and red star? ’
In addition, a derived question also puzzled Chen Lun.
That is, the black sun pathway and the moon pathway are very similar, and there is no known relationship between the two. According to the records in the mysterious field of the current era, there is almost no description of the "Black Sun Faction", let alone the "Shen Mother".
Chen Lun still vaguely remembered that when he received the extraordinary knowledge, an indifferent voice sounded in his mind. The most impressive thing was the sentence "Only one sun is needed."
‘Could that voice be that of the Sun God? ! ’
He was startled by his guess.
But based on such clues alone, such an inference is reasonable.
After all, the person most likely to say this is Lie Fu.
'Let's regard the black and red star as Distedak, the father of darkness. Then in the land of Matthew under the continent, the red mother as the only source of light is most likely the incarnation of the father of darkness... So much so that the insect pollution has not only spread from the Dark End, but has even begun to wreak havoc underground. ’
If the world is compared to a big tree, then at this moment, the inside and the roots of the tree have begun to be eroded. Perhaps when the pollution reaches a certain level, the big tree will collapse and be destroyed in an instant.
Chen Lun's mood became heavy.
He raised his hand and pinched his slightly sore temples.
'Finally, who was the person who helped me when I left the dream world? ’
Chen Lun knew very well that he was intercepted by Ms. Sigh at that time. If someone hadn't helped him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
'Lady Sigh, Dominia...'
He firmly remembered the name and the dark red skirt.
"Lord Beloved, we are full."
At this time, the answering voice pulled Chen Lun out of his thoughts.
He turned around and saw Nata and the other black cats standing up with grateful expressions on their faces.
"Thank you for the food, Lord Beloved!"
Chen Lun smiled slightly.
"No need to be polite, you should take a rest first. After daybreak, I will take you out of here and go to the 'Kazit Town' in another space."

Early morning hours.
Mrs. Caroline got up early. After washing, she cooked breakfast for Chen Lun, and then went upstairs with the plate.
But soon, her voice of surprise echoed through the apartment.
"Oh! Mr. Totter! Are you finally awake?!"
"Good morning, Miss Caroline."
Taut leaned against the doorframe, straightened his old suit slightly nervously, and showed a smile that he thought was charming.
If it weren't for the slippers on her feet and her slightly messy and sparse hair, it would have been a good "encounter".
"Thank you for taking care of me this year, Caroline. I...I don't know how to repay you."
Taote's eyes showed uncontrollable affection. He opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know where to start.
Mrs. Caroline wiped the corners of her eyes gently and smiled slightly.
"What are you talking about? If you hadn't blocked the attack for me, I might have died... The one who wants to say thank you should be me, Mr. Taote."
Taut also smiled, keeping his eyes on Mrs. Caroline.
After a while.
In the restaurant on the first floor.
Mr. Taut talked endlessly about the wonderful journey in the dream world to Mrs. Caroline. The latter just listened attentively, covering her mouth from time to time, with a look of surprise and curiosity.
Chen Lun ate his breakfast silently, shaking his head secretly.
Of course Mrs. Caroline would not take it seriously, but she also cooperated and acted as a qualified listener, which made Mr. Totter even more expressive.
The two have been old neighbors for nearly ten years. They have experienced life and death together, and their relationship has become even closer. It can be seen that Mrs. Caroline's feelings towards Taote seem to have undergone some subtle changes.
Chen Lun just smiled and thought it was a good thing for Mrs. Caroline to meet someone she loves at such an age.
"Thank you very much, little Jack. Although I don't know how you did it, I believe in Pompeii's words and I believe in you..."
Mrs. Caroline turned her head at this time, enthusiastically refilled a cup of scented tea for Chen Lun, and said kindly.
Mr. Taut was also looking at him, with a trace of gratitude in his eyes. As a witness, he certainly knew that everything that happened in the dream world was not false. If Chen Lun hadn't rescued him, he might still be trapped in it, and his body in this world would fall into a deep sleep forever.
"You're welcome, Mrs. Caroline."
Chen Lun drank scented tea and responded politely.
He glanced at the two old men and stood up slowly.
"Now that Mr. Taote has woken up, it's time for me to leave... Thank you very much for your breakfast and flower tea, I like it very much."
"Are you leaving now? Little Jack..."
Mrs. Caroline and Mr. Totter stood up quickly, reluctant to stay.
However, Chen Lun declined the other party's proposal on the grounds that the royal city was busy with affairs.
Finally, the two sent Chen Lun to the door of the apartment.
"Little Jack, be sure to bring little Floy here when you have time in the future. You are always welcome here."
Mrs. Caroline held Chen Lun's hand tightly.
"Of course."
Chen Lun gently patted the back of Mrs. Caroline's hand.
Then, he held his silver cane, took off his black top hat, made a gentleman's salute, turned around and waved before leaving. Without the two of them noticing, more than a dozen small black figures popped out of the windows on the second floor.
Amidst Babu's frightened whimpering, he followed Chen Lun's back.

Chen Lun used the cloud to leap and led the group of black cat warriors to the royal city.
Returned to the generous church area in the central area.
He led the black cats directly into the conference room without alerting anyone.
"Lord Beloved, can we really still see the peaceful hometown in our impression?"
Nada asked anxiously.
Chen Lun chuckled and nodded.
"Of course."
He immediately sat on the high-backed chair and raised his hand to the dozen black cats in front of him. Illusive green vines emerged from his sleeves, forming a simple book "Philip's Adventures in Wonderland", which then turned automatically without wind and kept turning.
Wow——
White light suddenly appeared.
Chen Lun was a little surprised to find that the black cats were different from other people who entered the fairyland. They disappeared into the real world together with their bodies.
‘Because it’s a dream creature? Or is it that they are the original material materials that make up the fairyland, so that is why such a special situation occurs...? ’
He then also entered Wonderland.
The town of Kazite.
The black cat Nata and the rest of his companions stood at the top of the attic of the white tower, with their claws firmly attached to the transparent crystal wall, staring blankly at the lively streets below and the white cat residents who could be seen everywhere.
High Priest Daye had a lazy look and was telling the white cats something in the square. The white cats had longing and joy on their faces, and the atmosphere was prosperous.
Teams of white cat guards, armed with swords and shields, were practicing in the open space under the red city wall, gesticulating in response to the one-eyed captain's orders.
Nada couldn't help but shed tears.
"Kazite...Kazite...is still here, and my hometown and relatives are still there. It's great."
"Then captain, should we go down and talk to them?"
An old black cat wiped the corners of his eyes and asked softly.
Nada opened his mouth, then shook his head in relief.
"No need...it's enough to see that my hometown remains the same."
Chen Lun also spoke out at this time:
"Then, in the dense forest outside Kazite Town, there are many members of the black cat clan...among them is you when you were young. Do you want to take a look?"
"Another me?!"
Na Da was very surprised.
"Yes, this space is called 'Wonderland', and it can be regarded as a world created by the Cat God Maggie... Many scenes and creatures in the dream world are reproduced here, including you of course."
Chen Lun slowly explained.
Nata and the black cats looked at each other.
Soon, Na Da suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed drastically.
"Lord Beloved! I remember it! Before our black cat clan left our hometown, High Priest Daye told us about the oracle sent by the Cat God...'The Beloved will one day come with hope. Come, save Kazite, save the cat clan.'"
Nada waved his paws and said excitedly:
"Perhaps this 'wonderland' you are talking about is where hope lies! Those tribesmen who died in the dream world, as well as the destroyed town of Kazite, will take root here and continue in another form! Even, Be reborn in the near future!”
Chen Lun listened with a smile, until Nada's last words came out, he couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart.
‘In the near future, I will be reborn...’ (End of Chapter)
