I want to have a date with Superman

"Are you Cain? The eldest son of Adam and Eve, the parricide who bears sevenfold retribution?!"

Harry was startled and hesitated, not even daring to enter his house.

"I am the Cain of legend."

Cain lifted up his hair at the temples, revealing pointed ears that resembled those of a goblin, "See? Cain and Abel were supposed to be the ancestors of mankind, but I'm not a normal human being at all."

"Is there another Cain in reality? Are you a concept god born from a concept?"

Harley thought of "Harley's body armor."

"I am not a god, I cannot obtain the power of faith, and I do not need the power of faith." 'Fairy' Cain said.

Harley explained the concepts of Marilyn and the Statue of Liberty, and asked, "What's the difference between them and you?"

"The difference is both small and big. Legendary spirits are born from the oral transmission of legends and stories by living beings. They appear naturally, just like the birth of a star in the universe. It is a natural phenomenon.

Later, the gods saw the magic of the legendary spirit and used magic to create the concept god. "

"Does the legendary spirit have any special connection with the dream world?" Harley asked.

"There is no necessary connection. We were just invited by the Lord of Dreams to settle in this world. If I want, I can go to Earth or other divine realms."

"Besides your brothers, what other legendary spirits can I see here?" Harley asked curiously.

"There are many, more than 10,000. As long as the legend is legendary enough, you can find the protagonist of the story in the dream, such as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and Fairy Chang'e holding the rabbit."

"What a magical world!" Harley exclaimed.

The furniture and furnishings of the House of Mystery were no different from those of castles in the normal world. Cain had no intention of entertaining her and walked directly through the lobby to the backyard.

In the backyard, another stone castle can be seen just outside the back door.

Just like Cain and Abel were two brothers, the two stone castles were almost identical, like a pair of brothers.

What surprised Harry was that Cain didn't call the door or let her knock on the door. Just like in his own home, Cain led her straight in.

"Aren't you going to inform your brother?" Harley hesitated before entering the living room.

"Unable to notify."

Harley was puzzled at first, but as soon as she stepped into the hall, she understood - there was a corpse lying on the wool carpet, with a gleaming ax embedded in the back of the head.

"Omag! This is Abel. Your brother has been murdered."

She had never met Abel, but the two brothers looked similar, and their clothes and breath were also very similar.

"It was you, you killed your brother!"

After catching a glimpse of Cain's proud smile and thinking of his actions of not knocking or shouting, Harley immediately solved the case.

"Clang." The sharp ax fell off the back of Abel's head, and the body on the ground twitched a few times before slowly getting up.

"Uh, it hurts. Cain, you killed me again." Abel groaned, covering the back of his head. He caught a glimpse of the stunned Harley beside him. He was startled at first, then straightened his clothes, and saluted apologetically: "The guests have come from afar. , but I couldn’t entertain you well, I’m sorry.”

Harley looked at the two brothers, "What are you doing?"

Cain didn't answer, but said to Abel, "Now that she's awake, I'll leave her to you."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

After asking Harley's name and purpose, Abel smiled bitterly and said: "Our brothers are legendary spirits, and 'Cain killing his brother' is the essence of the legendary story.

Therefore, my brother can't help but kill me in different ways.

Like a dog eating shit, murdering me has become his habit.

But I got used to being dead, and now, it only takes a few hours to be resurrected. "

"So, if I meet Santa Claus in the dream world, he will not be able to help but fulfill my wish and stuff gifts into my stockings?" Harley asked strangely.

"You can only meet him on Christmas Eve. If you meet him, he will really take the initiative to give you a gift."

Harley asked again: "Why can you be resurrected? Is it because you can't kill people in the dream world, or is it your talent?"

Abel said: "Legends and stories are always repeated in people's mouths, and every time the story ends, I die.

But the next time, another person told the story of 'Cain killed his brother', and I appeared again, and finally died again.

As long as the legend is not completely forgotten, the story will not really end and I will not die.

If I die completely, who will Cain kill next time the story starts? "

"It's interesting." Harry thought thoughtfully.

Afterwards, Abel enthusiastically brought her coffee and pastries, and even planned to kill chickens and cows to entertain her.

Harry actually wanted to stay and taste Abel's craftsmanship - Cain's wheat cakes and Abel's livestock feast, which are all famous "delicacies" that have been passed down through the ages. Even God said it was good to eat them.

Well, Cain was a farmer and Abel was a herdsman. They offered wheat and beef and mutton to God respectively. God accepted Abel's sacrifice. Cain was jealous and killed his brother.

"I have something to do today. I will definitely come to visit you in the Secret House another day."

Abel was very sorry, but he didn't force him to stay.

He didn't stop until he brought her to the suspended ladder. "The House of Mystery and the House of Secrets are the outposts of the dream world. Then if you go straight forward along the ladder, you can enter the center of the dream - His Majesty the Dream King." The royal capital.

You have His Majesty's "invitation". Even if you fall down the spiral staircase, at most you will wake up from a dream and walk the same old road again tomorrow without encountering any danger.

However, you'll encounter two doors along the way, the Horned Gate and the Ivory Gate.

Both doors are connected to the dreams of mortals. The ivory door is full of absurdities, but the horn door is a harbinger of dreams coming true. It is colorful and has different scenery. It cannot hurt you, but it may make you get lost and forget what you want. The purpose of meeting Mengjun. "

"How to avoid getting lost?" Harley asked.

"Don't look around, don't pay attention to any sounds in your ears, keep your head down and move forward."

"Thanks, Abel!"

The suspended staircase is not a stone staircase in the mortal world. It is made up of haystacks. Jumping from one haystack to another, there is nothing between the haystacks.

On both sides of the hanging ladder, there is endless flying ash and darkness, which makes people feel terrified.

Harley did not test her determination and followed Abel's instructions very honestly. Even though she was curious about the two doors, even though the scenery inside the door was strange, the voice was garbled, and even someone called her name, she did not stop.

Leaving the last haystack, Harley came to a strange royal city with a beast as its totem.

The city walls are carved with extremely complicated pictures of beasts, and the two battlements above the city gate are directly two giant demonic bull heads.

It stands to reason that a building decorated with beast totems would give people a wild and rough feeling.

The Sandman's Castle gave Harley the illusion of coming to a Disney theme park.

If the city gates opened wide at this moment, and a group of singing and dancing cartoon characters rushed out to welcome her, she would not feel disobedient at all.

"Squeak--" The city gate really opened.

But there were no cartoon people singing, dancing and scattering flowers around her, just a mustachioed butler wearing a top hat, tailcoat and civilized staff.

She subconsciously thought he was Morpheus's butler.

"Hello, Miss Quinn, I am the steward of this royal city, Lucien."

It was indeed the butler.

The butler took off his hat and bowed to her.

Harley glanced at the top of his head. He was bald.

"Lucien, hello, is His Majesty Morpheus at home?" Harley asked.

"Yes, please come with me."

After crossing the city gate, Harley was in high spirits and full of expectations, looking forward to seeing a prosperous city that would open her eyes and be full of exotic customs.

Also look forward to a group of legendary characters such as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and Chang'e, waiting to greet you behind the door.

Stepping through the city gate and entering the city, she was shocked.

"Is this the royal city?"

This is obviously a desolate Gobi desert, with not even a single weed.

"This place was once extremely prosperous, full of weirdos, and could satisfy the most extravagant dreams of anyone who entered the dreamland." Lucien sighed and said helplessly: "But that was a hundred years ago, even a few months before His Majesty returned. You can at least see a slightly dilapidated but still majestic and beautiful palace.”

"What did Morpheus do?"

"I ate the city." Sandman walked over wearing a floor-length green robe.

He was still pale and thin, with stars twinkling in his eyes, but his hairstyle had changed, with an afro that was nearly one meter in diameter.

"Eat?" Harley was confused.

"It's like I ate your dream stone."

As soon as Morpheus pointed out, thousands of rays of light shone brightly, and a two-story pure white marble palace appeared in front.

"The city is made up of your original power, and you need the power of dreams to restore your body." Harley suddenly realized.

Then she asked doubtfully: "You are the master of dreams, can't you absorb power from the dream world?"

"Yes, but I have damaged the origin and extracted the origin from the world, which will damage the foundation of the dream dimension.

But don't worry, my promise to you has been fulfilled.

A brand new Dream Lord was born, your friend Rachel the Raven, the daughter of the Three Palace Demons. "

The two of them were talking and had entered the hall of the newly built small palace. Morpheus held the throne high, and Harley had a high-backed chair and a small table under the steps, with endless melon and fruit snacks on the table.

"When did it happen? Rachel never came to see me." Harley said in surprise.

"She looked for you more than a dozen times, but never succeeded. She even asked me to ask, and I told her that you weren't sleeping." Sandman thought for a moment and said, "You were taken away by the Green Lantern Corps at that time."

"But it's been more than a month since I came back." Harley said.

"She is probably familiar with the new power. The origin of the dream I gave her is almost equivalent to the original magic power of a demon king."

"Thank you!" Harley was very moved.

The origin of the Demon King is very powerful, but for a supreme being, it is far from breaking the bones.

At other times, Harry wouldn't have felt it and would just take it for granted.

But now that Morpheus is so poor that he has demolished the royal city, he still keeps his promise and provides such a large share of his resources.

This is so rare.

"You don't need to thank me, I'm just fulfilling my promise."

After a moment of silence, Harry told the story of Duoduo's fall from heaven to hell without any "blasphemous" speculation, and then asked: "Can you find it through dreams?"

"If it falls asleep and dreams, it can." Morpheus affirmed.

"Can dogs dream?"

"All conscious beings can dream. It's called 'Duoduo', right? I'll keep an eye out for you."

"Thank you." Harley thanked again.

Having achieved her goal, she was ready to stand up and leave.

"You don't need to thank me, I still owe you a favor." Morpheus said lightly.

Harley's expression froze. Is this small favor considered a favor?!

She wanted to roar.
