Chapter 10: Tunnel

This dream passage... is quite painful.

Lin's ball of fluff is moving forward quickly.

To be precise, it is the 'dream fluff'.

Because Lin had climbed up the 'tower' built of sand by the residents not long ago.

Although the tower shattered when they felt pain, the dream energy guided by the tower is still here.

Therefore, Lin asked some soldiers to devour many sand corpses and assemble something that could be called a "dream launcher."

Normally, if Lin did this, her identity as a spy would be exposed, but now the sand in the entire desert is in a state of collapse.

Many gravels are already dead...their body structures will change because of their spirits.

Therefore, when they feel severe pain, they will actually die.

Lin decided to investigate what caused this painful energy to be transmitted here before the desert collapsed.

And...why is there painful energy here?

The dream transmitter made by Lin was connected to the dream channel, and used dream energy to construct a pompom shape.

This can also be said to be a type of soldier formed by Lin using dream energy, but it needs to be controlled by a 'launcher'.

Now the ball of fluff is moving along the passage to the distance. During the movement, Lin can feel intense pain.

This pain was like a flood that kept rushing towards this side, and finally reached the desert composed of sand and gravel.

What is at the end of the passage... Lin thought as she increased the speed of the ball of fluff.

Moving in this passage is not done in the usual way, it mainly relies on...'hope'.

This is also similar to the situation in the dream space.

As long as you have strong hope, you can "swim upstream" at a very fast speed. Otherwise, if you are overwhelmed by pain, you will be rushed back.

Because if you have strong hope, it will enhance your own energy.

This should be a unique effect of this space and the dream space. The reason is not clear yet. The dream energy in other places is not like this.

In fact, the reason why those gravels could generate dream passages before was mainly because of their "hope". They strongly wanted to connect to... the Doomsday Tunnel. The hopes of countless gravels formed a huge passage extending into the distance.

In that case, this energy of pain is transmitted perhaps because there is something on the other side that wishes to spread the pain?

No matter what, because Lin can easily adjust the "emotion of hope" in her mind to the highest level, she can overcome the pain.

Until... you reach your goal.

…This seems to be the destination.

Lin noticed that the end of the light beam in the dream channel was in a pitch-black space. There was nothing around it, and the light disappeared at this location.

Therefore, Lin decided to let the dream ball directly touch the end of the channel.

The moment the ball of fluff flew to the end of the passage, Lin found that a new scene suddenly appeared around her, and all the pain disappeared completely at this moment.

This place looks like a vast plain.

The ground was covered with lush flowers. Lin discovered that these were some of the more common plant species in the world of Pompom. Looking at them would give her a... very comfortable feeling.

In fact, it is exactly the opposite of the painful emotions in the previous channel.

This is... quite strange.

"Newcomer." At this time, Lin found that a flower on the ground was floating up, and it slowly flew in front of the pompom.

"It has not appeared for a long time." It uses the signal of dream energy.

"Where is this place?" Lin asked.

"Are you talking about the scenery here?" Flower said, "It mainly has to do with what you remember."

"But it will soon disappear, forever." The flower said: "If you are asking where this place is..."

"This is the last place." As she said that, Lin found that the flowers floated to the ground and hit the ground hard.

The moment it hit the ground, the ground exploded with a bang, and a large amount of painful energy surged out from the explosion site.

However, this surge only lasted for a few seconds and then stopped.

"There are too many..." the flower said, "They are going to surround this place."

"So where exactly is this place?" Lin continued to ask, and Huaduo told Lin where this place was.

It means this is a...'receptive place'.

It is said to be a place that receives those 'kind-hearted' creatures.

To be precise, it is a non-aggressive creature.

Because many creatures in the void know very well how to destroy other creatures, and even if they don’t understand, they still have the intention to attack other creatures.

The main purpose here is to receive those creatures that have no intention of attacking.

The general requirement is that the creature must have a certain level of intelligence, but must not have any intention of harming other creatures.

Generally, when a creature discovers a strange creature, it will usually consider whether the creature is a threat.

The creatures that come here must not have such ideas. They must ignore or treat strange creatures with kindness.

Then it qualifies to be here.

It means this is the kind of place it is.

But the flower does not say anything about what the meaning of this place is or who created it.

It also told Lin that a scene from the biological memory would usually be randomly selected here.

It is a 'guide' and will appear as an object in this scene.

But this place really has no meaning now.

Because it is about to be swallowed up by pain and everything will disappear.

"Go away." The flower finally said to the ball of fluff, "If you leave here, this place will perish."

"..." Lin first tried to detect everywhere here. In fact, the surface and flowers here are all made of dream energy, but other than that, she couldn't detect anything special.

And the flower didn't want to say anything, so Lin followed the "exit" it pointed out and left to another place.

This place...seems to be similar to the previous one.

That is, 'random memory scenes'.

This time, the jungle appeared in the Dinosaur Continent. When Lin was about to investigate, she found a skeleton dragon appeared in front of her.

"Newcomer." Lin found that what this 'skeleton dragon' said was exactly the same as what the flower said before.

It seems that this is also the same place as before.

So Lin went to the next scene under its guidance.

After visiting many such scenes, Lin finally found something special in the 23rd scene.

What appeared this time was not Lin’s memory scene, but there was also a special creature in it.

This might be... the Tunnel of Doom itself.

At least that's what it says.
