Chapter 479: Chapter 479 – Eternal Dream

Chapter 479 Eternal Dream

Agent Smith spotted Zhang Heng and Rabbit from the outside . He walked in, face expressionless .

Instead of charging directly at him, Smith picked the museum staff from the ground and inserted his right hand into the helpless guard’s chest . He screamed in pain, where a thick, black liquid oozed from his chest, spreading and engulfing his entire body at the same time . In only about two seconds, the guard had transformed entirely into another Smith .

Rabbit shrugged . “As I said, neither of us can escape…”

Right before she could finish, Smith turned to Rabbit and lunged at her, socking her in the face with his fist .

“Owww! It hurts!!!”

It wasn’t before half her face was smashed, did Smith land a kick on Rabbit’s belly . It sent her flying, its force so great she knocked over several shelves along the way .

Zhang Heng didn’t have the time to check out what happened to Rabbit since the other Smith was now walking towards him . He looked around quickly, catching a glimpse of a bronze sword in a showcase cabinet . Zhang Heng instinctively smashed the glass when he saw the weapon, drawing a Spring and Autumn Period bronze sword .

This time, it was his turn to face Smith’s fist . After seeing what happened to Rabbit, Zhang Heng didn’t use his arm to block the punch and instead dodged it with his pure reflexes . Swinging the sword to his back, he thrust the ancient weapon forward, managing to hit Smith .

Nevertheless, the Smith that Zhang Heng just encountered wasn’t the most dextrous Smith from The Matrix . This incarnation of Smith had failed to dodge the attack . Despite that, apart from his shades needing a little adjustment, everything, including his hairstyle, remained unchanged .

Smith stretched out to grab the bronze sword, easily snapping it into two . He tossed the pieces to the ground, loosed his neck, removed his sunglasses, and went for Zhang Heng again . Zhang Heng wasn’t surprised by how the first round of fights with Smith went . After all, Smith, the ultimate guardian of the third dreams, was nearly as formidable as the tsunami and dragon . Evidently, Smith wasn’t one to go down without a fight .

But Zhang Heng’s biggest problem now was that his items couldn’t be brought into Han Lu’s dream . It left him with little room in conjuring an excellent strategy to defeat Smith .

In the end, he decided to adopt the dodge-and-hit strategy . He had to stay as far as he could from Smith and use the opponents’ speed to his advantage . He also had to ensure Smith wouldn’t get close enough and transform him into another Smith . The virus’ killer move in the movie was to create unlimited copies of himself, and there was a good chance Zhang Heng would cease to exist if Smith managed to lay his hands on him .

The Smith next to Zhang Heng started to walk towards Rabbit, now lying motionlessly on the ground as if she was dead . Smith then stretched out, intending to “hack” into her chest and transform her into another Smith copy . A rabbit wouldn’t stand a chance if he were to do that . Then, as if jump starting to live, Rabbit’s eyes snapped open, and she grabbed Smith’s arm .

Rabbit grinned, sneering cynically at the less-than-human apparition . “I admire your attitude and your sense of responsibility . But, hey, don’t forget to take a rest once in a while . ”

She then touched Smith’s forehead with her finger . Then, as if all power to his body was cut, Smith fell lifelessly to the ground . Rabbit stood up, patted the dust off her body, and glanced at Zhang Heng . He was now in a sticky situation . “It seems I there’s nothing else for me to do . Take your time to deal with him . Don’t worry about me . I’ll go ahead first . ”

After that, she opened the window and jumped out .

Zhang Heng and Smith didn’t go after her, each one afraid of the other . Though less than half a minute later, Rabbit returned to the museum through the window cursing . Zhang Heng looked at where she was, seeing dozens of men standing outside . All dressed in the same suit, sunglasses and had the same face, and they stared into the museum’s open window with a ghostly expressionless face .

Smith had already started making copies of himself, and it wouldn’t be long before he transformed everyone in the city into his likeness . Earlier, Rabbit managed to end the battle quickly, and she didn’t even appear to break a sweat . The truth was, Rabbit had actually sacrificed a lot in the attempt to get Smith to snuggle up with her . The price for that was a heavy blow from Smith, resulting in half her face getting smashed in and two broken ribs .

Seeing how Smiths’ copies could come in from all directions, she realized she had to face multiple enemies . It was no wonder she didn’t look so good .

This was in no way good news for Zhang Heng, either . The fight was only escalating . One Smith was terrible enough, but he was now forced to deal with a wave of Smiths . Even with a respectable Lv . 3 Swordsmanship and the physical skills mastered in Black Sail, he could barely defeat him . If more Smiths joined the battle, it would put him in an immeasurable amount of danger .

Now that the two were trapped in the small museum, Zhang Heng knew it was impossible to simultaneously deal with so many of Smith’s copies . He could only hope that they would kill Rabbit first and that Han Lu could wake up in time .

Zhang Heng quietly strayed far away from all the doors and the windows .

He then saw Rabbit, sighing at the sight of her . “So, I’m forced to use that trick in the end?”

Rabbit took out a harmonica from her pocket and started playing it . When Zhang Heng heard the first note, warning signs flashed in his heart . He quickly covered his ears with both hands, but the melody found its way to bypass his ears, eventually reaching his brain despite his best efforts . His consciousness began to fade away slowly .

Zhang Heng knelt on one knee . Making a decisive decision, he picked up a thin piece of glass on the ground and pierced his eardrums with it . Despite that, the sweet and pleasant melody didn’t disappear with the other sounds . The last thing that Zhang Heng saw was the suited Smiths dropping like flies as the sound of the harmonica’s melody filled the room . The whole world seemed to have fallen asleep .

Rabbit finally finished the song after three minutes . She wasn’t in the best state, her lips as pale as paper as she put the harmonica away . She then stood there with her eyes closed before taking a deep breath .

Pocketing the instrument, she walked to Zhang Heng’s side .

“The guy called Seth went overboard this time . Why would he make so many copies of my game item? I’m exhausted . This time that nearly killed me . Forget it… Let’s finish this order first . ”

Rabbit squatted, putting her fingers on the forehead of the now comatose Zhang Heng . “In the name of Hypnos, I order you to show me the dreams in your heart, and in return, I will bless you with an eternal dream… Huh? Wait . What the hell is this?!”

A horrified look appeared on Rabbit’s face . Hypnos was the god of sleep in Greek mythology, and he had seen all kinds of strange dreams . Whether it a tsunami or dragon, they were all common to him . When he peeked into the eye of Zhang Heng’s mind, however, he saw a grotesque, twisted nightmare he had never seen before .

Though a hasty glimpse, Hypnos couldn’t help but tremble in fear .
