Colonial Suit

Blood瞳 followed the voice and immediately saw a head. The head of an old man with a full head of white hair.

He had no body, only a solitary head suspended beside Blood瞳. His condition was somewhat similar to Blood瞳's. But the difference was that Blood瞳's condition was caused by being negated, while his head seemed to be cut off by himself. At the neck below the head, the cut was as smooth as a mirror, yet strangely, there was not a single drop of blood.

"Who are you?"

"You can call me Domon," the old man said softly, as if unaware of how frightening his appearance was. "I am the master here."

"Master?" Blood瞳's eyes flashed. "Did you save me? I remember... I was negated at that time... but now..."

"You are not a living person now either," Domon interrupted Blood瞳, pointing to the darkness outside. "You are just a phantom between life and death, in the gap between existence and non-existence. Without the support of rules, perhaps in a few days, or maybe in the next second, you will completely disappear in this forgotten space."

"So, I hoped you wouldn't return to reality, Mr. One. But unfortunately..." The old man glanced at Blood瞳. "You are more stubborn than I thought."

"Just persistent," Blood瞳 replied, then cast his gaze around. "What if I stay in the dream? Even if I can live forever in the dream, in reality, I am dead. Escaping doesn't solve the problem. Speaker Domon, what I need is to face it."

"Good willpower," the old man nodded, then paused slightly. "Wait? Speaker?"

"It seems you have guessed my identity."

"It's not difficult. Because only the councilors know my name so far. And they won't appear here. Plus, some homework I did before coming here. So, of course, I would know your identity." Blood瞳 withdrew his gaze and silently looked at the old man for a while. Suddenly he smiled. "But what I didn't expect was that the decision-maker of the highest human power that shook the universe, the Speaker of the Universe Mercenaries, would look like this."

"Haha..." The Speaker also laughed, looking very happy. "Isn't it ugly? A guy with only a head would become the Speaker of the Universe Mercenaries. It must be disappointing."

"But being able to survive here, even with only a head, is already amazing," the Speaker laughed. "For my head, you wouldn't imagine how much the Universe Mercenaries have paid."

"I can imagine," Blood瞳 glanced at the bubbles around. "But I'm curious, what is this place?"

"I will give you the answer," the Speaker smiled. "But before that, I must let you survive, One, or rather, Your Excellency Blood瞳."

"Hmm!?" Blood瞳's pupils suddenly contracted. His eyes became extremely cold. "You..."

"Are you surprised why I guessed your real identity? It's actually not difficult, because this is my ability..." The Speaker smiled. "There are no eternal secrets in this world. Even if you hide it well, you will still relax your vigilance in the dream. It's just that I didn't expect you to react so quickly, otherwise, maybe I could have known more. So... we're even."

"............" Blood瞳 was silent. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "You make me feel threatened."

"No, no, no, no threat. We are not enemies either," the Speaker shook his head repeatedly. "Maybe the secret you possess is coveted by all civilizations in the universe. But that definitely doesn't include me. Because I can't turn your secret into profit at all. Nor can I possess it."

"Hmm?" Blood瞳 was stunned, but he was confused by the Speaker's words. "Why?"

"Because..." The Speaker smiled, a bitter smile. "Because I am also a prisoner here..."

"What!?" Blood瞳 was immediately stunned. "That's impossible! They all say you..."

"Asleep. Right?" The Speaker finished Blood瞳's sentence. But a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes. "It seems you have indeed done a lot of homework. Even my slumber was taken into consideration. But have you ever wondered why I would slumber? And during my slumber. When did the outside world ever receive feedback from me?"

"You... you mean!?" Blood瞳 suddenly had an unbelievable idea. His eyes widened immediately.

"That's right." The Speaker interrupted him and said seriously. "I am also trapped here. All messages can only enter but not exit. So the outside world spread that I was asleep. But in reality. I'm just a poor prisoner."

"Okay, let's stop the gossip here. Now I need to give you some basic rules. Otherwise, you will disappear." Seeing that Blood瞳 still had questions, the Speaker interrupted him unceremoniously. "Originally, these would be completed in your dream. But you are too reckless. This will cost me more energy and resources. Now you know why I didn't let you out, right?"

"............" Blood瞳 was speechless. From the Speaker's words, he had obtained a lot of information. And he knew the key to his survival.

At this point, how could Blood瞳 not know what situation he was in? But the only way to get rid of this situation was to rebuild the rules!

This was simply unimaginable!

You must know that rules are the foundation of the universe, and everything depends on the existence of rules. And modifying the rules is possible, but rebuilding the rules is almost impossible. The reason is that rebuilding the rules is equivalent to creating a new world, a new universe!

But at this time, he couldn't say more. In just this moment, he felt a strong sleepiness again. His consciousness blurred little by little.

In a half-dream, half-awake state, he heard the Speaker say.

The latest novels are first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

"Don't see everything as absolute. Rebuilding the rules is difficult. But it's limited to reality. But in a dream, it's another matter. Remember the dream we discussed before? In fact, we also missed a paragraph. That is, when your dream becomes a subjective reality, the rules. Can be extended from the dream..."

"This is what I have learned in my long years here." The Speaker said, his gaze gradually condensing on Blood瞳's brow.

"Dream is reality... What I firmly believe will surely be realized."

Blood瞳's eyes went dark. He fell asleep again. But a vague spatial reaction began to appear around his body. A large number of golden threads began to grow from his body, rebuilding his body little by little as if weaving. The originally corroded muscles fell off, replaced by new muscles, bones, and nerves. That magical scene. It's like a miracle.

But the Speaker's eyes next to him became complicated.

"Originally, I thought I would be trapped here forever. But I didn't expect your appearance to give me an opportunity."

"I will help you, Blood瞳."

"Then, you will help me again."

"Let us... get rid of this damn 'nothingness'. Return to the world of rules."(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation..)
