Don't confiscate my citizenship

The fourth floor of Hellrom Prison.

"So that's it."

Warden Selena slowly opened her eyes. She had roughly finished Hyperion's dream.

Generally speaking, only people with severe inner trauma will fall so deeply into dreams.

Because in this level of illusion.

represents.

It is the most fragile fantasy in the human heart, or it is an irreparable regret.

That is a dream that is destined not to come true in reality.

And those who have broken away from the illusion and can stay awake can see the contents of other people's dreams at a certain distance.

You can also use this to infer the deep pain and weakness in the other person's heart.

Outside the cells on the fourth floor of Helrom Prison, every step you take may lead you to fall into an illusion.

Every time I fall into an illusion, I fall harder than before.

The deeper and longer you sink, the more likely your soul will be completely dissolved into the illusion.

For all prison guards and criminals who set foot on this level, they will fall into at least one illusion the moment they land, and the warden waiting on the negative fourth floor will be able to see the contents of their illusions.

Although the rules of the prison cannot attack each other, once the breach of someone's spiritual defense is known, even words can cause unimaginable harm and induce the person to destroy himself.

A pleasant chuckle escaped from Warden Selena's throat.

As a seventh-level illusionist in the empire, she has a very high resistance to illusion magic and is also very good at getting rid of illusions. Similarly, if she needs to attack a criminal, knowing the pain in his heart, she is more able to tailor his weapon to him. A vision that tortures one to the point of inner collapse.

Because of this, even if she had to fight one-on-one with Antanas, the guardian of the great demon clan, who had broken free from his restraints on this level, she would definitely win.

Even if Antanas is left alone, Antanas cannot walk out of the long corridor on the fourth floor [Falling Gentle Land] alone.

Selena is a rare talent for the Protos Empire.

But in Selena's opinion, she had never regarded this place as a workplace.

This is her playground.

Whether it's talking therapy to lure criminals to commit suicide, or occasionally playing tricks on prison guards, it's all a rare pleasure for her.

It is also a power that belongs only to her.

…

In Hyperion's fantasy.

She only saw her mother Yifatiya and father Milaya standing in front of the newly opened shop, carrying cake boxes, and seemed to be preparing to go home.

People that I should see every day, but it seems like I haven’t seen them for many years.

She didn't even dare to step forward, fearing that she wouldn't be able to distinguish between dreams and reality, and it would suddenly turn into a nightmare, causing her to lose this stable and intense happiness again.

But Ifatia did not hesitate along with Hyperion. When she saw Hyperion, she walked over with a smile.

"Look, Hyperion, we bought you a birthday cake. It is said that the products of this restaurant are very popular with nearby residents!"

Epatia raised the cake box in her hand and grinned at Hyperion.

It’s like I can’t wait to celebrate my daughter’s birthday.

"..."

Hyperion didn't take the cake box for a long time, she didn't know what she was afraid of.

Finally, her tears fell and she rushed forward to hug the two figures.

"Oh, what are you doing?"

Epatia smiled shyly.

Although she didn't mind being held by her daughter, there were still some pedestrians looking at them on the street.

As a human, the logical response in this situation would be shyness.

However, considering her daughter's mood, she decided to accommodate Hyperion.

Mi Gaiya spread her right hand helplessly. Anyway, today is Hyperion's birthday, so she can be happy.

"By the way, Hyperion, tomorrow is the weekend, I have a day off, and I just want to take you to South Wantina. The sea view there is very beautiful."

"You have been thinking about it for a long time since I took you there when I was a child, but you may not remember it now."

…

In the high-latitude observation space, the Ice Witch clenched her palms tightly. She, who had never remained calm, could not help but feel her heart move for Hyperion at this moment.

Hyperion seemed to be in a very bad state, with no intention of breaking out of the dream.

Originally, when they were getting along in the Kingdom of Estherland, she thought that Hyperion was positive and cheerful at heart and would not sink too deeply in this [Falling Land of Gentleness], but now she may have thought the opposite.

From here to the transfer port on the next floor, there are a total of one hundred and thirty-one floor tiles. The space on each floor tile will trigger an illusion the moment someone steps in, with a small cooling time.

In the prison guard trial rules of Helrom Prison, several people can form a team and help each other.

For example, let one person step into a floor tile area and fall into a dream, and the other people will enter his dream through the floor tiles, and find ways to wake him up within a certain period of time. Then other people will step into new floor tiles one by one, trying not to let anyone People fall into dreams continuously and give them enough time to rest.

But there is also a prerequisite, that is, someone must first rely on their own strength to get out of the illusion.

In addition, the warden, whose mental state seems extremely bad, may also interfere negatively.

As for the real Great Demon Trial, a demon is required to take one hundred and thirty-one steps alone and walk out of the illusion that he has fallen into for one hundred and thirty-one consecutive times with his own strength. He cannot rely on the help of any other living being.

When most demons start the challenge, they will die ten or twenty steps ahead, drowning in dreams and having their souls dissolved.

Only those demons with evil hearts and firmness to the extreme can see through the illusion here, because there is no softness in their hearts, let alone flaws and weaknesses. Therefore, they can find dreams and dreams in the illusions that have not fallen deep enough. The tipping point between realities, flipping it back.

Even for some extreme beings, there is not even much difference between reality and dreams.

Even in a dream, you can use the cruelest hands to destroy everything.

The more the remaining creatures lean towards the good camp and the more sentimental they are, the more they will be destroyed in this illusion.

The Ice Witch knew that she would not be able to pass the great demonic test of [Falling Gentle Land].

Now she can only pray that the three guys who are suspected of being Resurrectionists can help Hyperion.

But for now, it seems that those three guys are motionless.

It seems that they are not particularly bad people, but also have great flaws in their hearts.

Only... the one lying on the ground seems to be moving...

…

In Helrom Prison, warden Selena observed a circle of five prison guards.

She is basically invincible at this level. After seeing through other people's weaknesses, she can even create an illusion to play with her enemies, or pretend to be an important person.

She clasped her hands together like a pre-dinner ritual, unable to resist tasting the delicious pain of the silver-haired girl.

"but……"

Selena muttered to herself and glanced at the girl with black hair and green eyes on the ground.

The illusion she fell into seemed a bit strangely grand, and it continued to attract enchantment spells to deepen the reality of her dream. It even made the entire prison's magic power begin to mobilize for her in order to maintain her illusion.

Warden Selena couldn't help but wonder, what was the unattainable dream in her heart?

You can’t just want world peace, right?

So Selena got closer to the masked girl with black hair and green eyes.

Decided to see what this girl was thinking first.
