The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 560 - 413: Divine Artifact-level Soul Artifact

As the butler sleeps, Chun and Mina sneak to his bedside.

The butler in a deep sleep indeed erupts with chaotic spirit turbulence.

Mina is a bit worried: "Master, this is tougher than what we faced before, are you sure you want to go?"

Chun believes that the butler understands, and with the mermaid as backup, he is very confident: "Let’s go."

— System prompt: Warning! You have entered Saffirio’s consciousness dreamscape, this dreamscape is extremely unstable, be sure to respond with full force or retreat promptly.

The next moment, Chun appears in a scene reminiscent of Remia’s mansion, but this mansion is layered and fragmented, as if being inside a kaleidoscope, reflecting countless images.

Chun is startled, this mode of mirror within mirror with countless identical scenes is a four-dimensional space in geometric terms!

Just then, the butler’s voice appears: "So it’s you! It is indeed you!!"

This voice seems to pass through numerous echoes, resonating in the layered identical scenes.

Chun is astonished: "It’s me, where are you?"

Chun’s voice also disperses into countless echoes, reverberating within the dream realm.

Holy Shit, what’s going on?

The butler sighs: "I also don’t know where I am. That day of battle, Beelzebub transformed into hundreds of maggots and duplicated my consciousness memory into hundreds of copies, creating this maze that traps my consciousness. My memory started to have confusion, the more I try to recall, the more duplicate scenes appear. The more I rashly destroy the maze, the more my memory gets lost. I don’t know what to do."

Chun is shocked: "Beelzebub indeed can transform into maggot clones, but to also duplicate memory?"

Mina speaks up: "It’s not duplicating memory; the butler’s day-to-day work for over 300 days a year is the same. Beelzebub actually entered the butler’s past few hundred days of memory. Beelzebub’s ability is space-time travel, transforming a timeline’s space all into the current appearance. For example, we’re now in the mansion’s April 20th memory, the adjacent mansion could be April 19th, and so forth."

"And the butler’s highly routine lifestyle might confuse each day’s distinction. The more the butler tries to recall, memories from last year and years prior come out, creating this scene overlap!"

Ah! Expertise!

The butler suddenly realizes: "Who is this lady?"

Chun hurriedly introduces: "It is the Dream Angels I am cultivating, she will heal your mental trauma. Although temporarily less effective than Oak City Hospital, as long as she practices... it’s better than going to Oak City Hospital, right?"

The butler urgently says: "Yes, yes, better than going to Oak Hospital, so how do we break out?"

Mina says: "We can go search for a calendar to determine the timeline order, then the butler can follow the timeline order to walk out from the maze."

The butler is thrilled: "So that’s it!"

Immediately alarmed: "I don’t have a calendar here, do you?"

Chun is baffled: "Where to find a calendar?"

The butler says: "Living room!"

The position where Chun stands is exactly the living room, suddenly realizes: "There isn’t one either!"

The butler is shocked: "So every mansion’s calendar... was destroyed by Beelzebub?"

Holy Shit!

Chun suddenly sees the lavish grand clock in the hall: "Will a clock do?"

The butler is flustered: "Clock, can’t remember!"

Chun steps forward to look, the clock’s exterior is immaculate, detailing to the fullest, but the pointer marks are blurred, unable to display time. This?

Mina sighs: "After all, this is memory, it’s impossible for anyone to remember the time shown on the clock."

Indeed, just like flipping through the account books in the dreamscape of a ruined factory before, the front content of the account book is unmemorable, hence blurred. But—

Chun immediately thinks of special times: "What about New Year’s? When the midnight chimes of the New Year’s clock sound, isn’t that time clear?"

The butler just then regains sense: "That day I remember! As long as that space is found, it can be determined as Christmas December 25th! But, is confirming only that day useful? I can’t assure the next will be the 26th!"

Mina is also troubled: "Indeed, the entire timeline is chaotic."

Chun feels helpless: "Then, are there not other memorable, deeply impressive days?"

The butler sighs: "Every day is monotonous and so is the lady, no special days. If really no other option, you should retreat, don’t delve deeply else you might be trapped in my maze without escape."

Retreat? Having encountered such a high-intensity, non-monster battle script, just leave like this? At the very least find something valuable like Essence of Dreams before leaving, right?

Staring at the lavish grand clock before him, Chun’s heart skips a beat: "Is this Essence of Dreams?"

Mina states: "Obviously not."

Chun suddenly recalls the two crystal cores obtained in the dreamscape prison earlier, those two crystal cores can combine into one. If this clock is also Essence of Dreams, then collecting all space clocks can combine into one, what might be born then? Surely not still an essence, at least a Soul Artifact! If a Soul Artifact is born, then perhaps hope to break out!

If trapped and still unable to...

Chun shares his idea: "Mina, how to make this clock become Essence of Dreams?"

Mina pauses: "That must require intense obsession, to place all life’s hope on this clock!"

Indeed seems so!

Chun says: "Butler, you heard it. All hope rests on this clock! We take December 25th of this clock as the precise time starting point, then merge all clocks. By that time, perhaps time will flow normally, a miracle might happen!"
