Chapter 1773 - 154: Dream Fantasy 3
"Heave... heave... heave..."
"Wait up, you guys!"
"Hmm?"
The Chinese characters turned their heads back to look at Fisher, led by a character Fisher didn’t recognize, "私" (Private). She turned her head and, in a childish voice, asked him,
"What’s up with you?"
This sight sparked Fisher’s curiosity, but he couldn’t help but ask,
"You guys just crawled out of a woman’s head. Do you know where she is now?"
"私" glanced at the other characters and said,
"We know. We just escaped from that little girl’s consciousness thanks to her."
"...Little girl? Are you referring to Tangze Asuka?"
"Who knows? Do you guys know?"
The characters behind them shook their heads one by one until the last character in the long, long line shook its head. Then "私" turned to Fisher and replied,
"We don’t know... But that little girl forgot about us, so we escaped through that woman’s head."
"..." Fisher opened his mouth, increasingly finding the conversation with these characters strange, but he still restrained himself and asked, "Since you know where that woman is, could you tell me?"
"We can, but you’ll have to help us first."
"How can I help you?"
The character "私" stood by the character "禾" (Grain), like a crutch, writing on a stone below. Soon it formed another square character Fisher didn’t recognize, the character "愛" (Love).
The character "私" pointed to this "愛" character below, then, along with hundreds of other characters, simultaneously looked up at Fisher and said,
"We are looking for this legendary character. We’ve heard it exists, but we’ve never seen or felt it. Can you take us to find it?"
"What does this character mean?"
"I don’t know. Do you guys know?"

The character "私" turned back to look at its partners, and the hundreds of characters behind each shook their heads in unison. Then it looked up at Fisher and replied,
"We don’t know either."
"..."
Fisher took a deep breath, yet observing the bizarre scene in the distance and out of concern for Alagina, he braced himself and said,
"Alright, I’ll agree to help you find it, but it might take a long time. Before that, please tell me the whereabouts of that woman."
To his surprise, the group of characters readily agreed.
"Alright, seeing as you’re a good person, we’ll trust you this time..."
The character "私" nodded, sized up Fisher, then hurriedly called the characters behind, saying,
"Everyone, follow me. We’ll go with him to find ’愛’!"
"Alright!"
"Alright!"
All the characters shouted excitedly, then, to Fisher’s amazement, they all jumped up and ran toward him, like boarding a big ship, tightly standing on him, looking quite spectacular.
The character "私" stood on his chest, close to the heart, on the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual, pointing in a direction with the "禾" radical, and said to Fisher,
"I just saw the Phoenix take that girl there, she got on a pumpkin carriage surrounded by the Seven Dwarves and went into a castle!"
"What?"
"Oh, just trust us! Hurry up and pursue!"
Fisher, having no choice, carried all the characters and flew in the direction they pointed. Suddenly, the character "私" shouted to halt,
"Stop! Look, it’s what the woman left behind!"
"Yeah, yeah! She left it behind!"
All the characters shouted in unison, making Fisher a bit headachy. He looked down and saw, amidst the seaweed, a translucent crystal high heel.
Seeing the high heel, Fisher suddenly felt foolish for following these scarlet haze-formed things.
Noticing Fisher’s stiff face, the character "私" hurriedly explained,
"I can guarantee, this is really the shoe that woman was wearing just now!"
"...She wasn’t wearing this just now."
"If you don’t believe, wait until you put this shoe on her, it’ll definitely fit her foot perfectly!"
"..."
"Or you can smell it now, there should be her scent on it!"
"..."
Things are getting creepier?!
Fisher frowned, holding the crystal shoe, glanced at the tracks by the seaweed, then looked up at the endless sea floor plain before him. The clouds in the sky were like real cotton candy, and floating within were light yellow watermelon hats and school bags, although they were all tattered and clearly hadn’t been repaired for a long time.
There really was a carriage here just now...
Fisher tucked the crystal shoe into his bosom, deciding to run a bit further in that direction and take a look.
He flew again, heading toward that cotton candy cloud, and sure enough, just as the characters said, there soon appeared a towering castle stretching into the clouds. In front, a pumpkin carriage was parked, but pulling the big pumpkin was a snow-white unicorn, and on the unicorn’s back was the Flame Bird.
Is Alagina really here?
"Look, we’ve arrived... oh no, this is bad, this castle is where the Demon lives. It’s said this Demon is very fierce and wicked, loves eating human flesh, and the castle is filled with traps, very dangerous!"
