今天是我來諾姆的第三天，過得比較平淡，沒出什么事，這還挺……令人意外的。賈拉漢的朋友艾萊絲失聯(lián)了，他為此哭了很久，我一直在安慰他。我?guī)谥Z姆的郊野和周邊的森林里面轉(zhuǎn)了轉(zhuǎn)，如果未來真會(huì)爆發(fā)一場(chǎng)惡戰(zhàn)的話，我們最好先熟悉一下諾姆的地理環(huán)境?？藙谒古c卡洛夫不可能單獨(dú)作戰(zhàn)，他們肯定有一支軍隊(duì)，我對(duì)于可能要面臨的敵人做了許多推測(cè)，還考察了東北面的森林、西面的山坡與南面的荒原，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，敵人不論從哪個(gè)方向攻擊都可以順暢地侵入。 我的傷疤（裂口）疼得厲害……真希望有他們幾個(gè)在我身邊，但我現(xiàn)在的處境非同尋常：往生世界的入口長(zhǎng)在我臉上了！如果裂口真的被成功打開的話，我只會(huì)害了他們，這絕對(duì)不行！如果警告他們情況的危險(xiǎn)性的話，他們會(huì)毫不猶豫地過來幫我，還不如保持沉默呢。我打算一有機(jī)會(huì)就去找楊大師，然后把我知道的都告訴他，這樣，如果我撐不住的話，至少有人可以把一切跟諾姆人交代清楚。這就是我目前的全部計(jì)劃了，走一步算一步吧。 我、賈拉漢和塞莉爾還來了幾場(chǎng)激烈的比武，我主要想考察一下賈拉漢的戰(zhàn)斗水平，同時(shí)也讓他別再總想著艾萊絲，軀體的疲勞能讓他忘記心里的痛苦；事實(shí)證明，他的水平不錯(cuò)，更別提他還會(huì)飛天旋轉(zhuǎn)術(shù)了。他本來還想把這招數(shù)教給塞莉爾，但不知道是因?yàn)樗痰貌恍?，還是塞莉爾學(xué)得不行，反正她沒學(xué)會(huì)。不過，塞莉爾的武藝也很高超，她有一套獨(dú)特的戰(zhàn)斗風(fēng)格，好幾次都把我打得措手不及，她的拳頭也很有力，我親身體驗(yàn)過了。中場(chǎng)休息的時(shí)候，她去市政廳打探了一下情況，她父親一直在努力推遲復(fù)工日期，可是外地投資商來了消息，說他們過兩天就要來考察，市政府正式?jīng)Q定明天早上復(fù)工，而重建工程剩余的部分不到一天就能完成。實(shí)在不行的話，我還可以用我的石錘直接把那些塔樓砸爛，但我沒給塞莉爾說這個(gè)想法。 我們又來了一場(chǎng)比武，這次賈拉漢徹底累垮了，說句實(shí)話，我也累壞了，我甚至都沒有力氣飛到樓上找楊大師了。塞莉爾為即將爆發(fā)的圍襲感到憂心忡忡，過去的黑暗機(jī)械忍者襲擊事件給她留下了心理陰影，她想竭盡全力保護(hù)諾姆的安全。于是，我們又去森林布置了一些陷阱和警報(bào)裝置，但這些防御措施可能不會(huì)有太大作用，面對(duì)克勞斯那個(gè)鬼鬼祟祟的老狐貍，簡(jiǎn)直防不勝防。誰(shuí)說他們一定會(huì)步行來呢？萬一他帶的是一支幽靈大軍呢？經(jīng)過了如此漫長(zhǎng)的一天，晚上回房間時(shí)，我已身心俱疲、渾身酸痛。我的頭還沒挨著枕頭就睡著了……我的傷疤（裂口）疼得厲害……馬上又要看到冰迷宮了……

醒醒吧！寇！

一個(gè)嚴(yán)厲的聲音向我發(fā)出了不容置疑的命令。我心里一驚，慌忙跳了起來，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)我已經(jīng)不在睡覺的房間里了。周圍的景象陰森恐怖，在我面前，一個(gè)緩緩轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)著的摩天輪矗立在巖漿瀑布旁邊，鳥瞰著流淌的熔巖。我在地下世界！我們第一次見加滿都魔王就是在這里，第一次造出幻影旋轉(zhuǎn)風(fēng)暴也是在這里－－我望著這個(gè)架構(gòu)拙劣的摩天輪，不免感到有些慚愧，當(dāng)初真是年少無知，竟然想了個(gè)這么幼稚的主意。我們創(chuàng)造風(fēng)暴的時(shí)候，只有三把黃金武器在手里，火焰劍好像被吳大師拿走了，由此推斷，我們不用集齊全部武器就能創(chuàng)造風(fēng)暴?；蛟S不憑借黃金武器也能創(chuàng)造風(fēng)暴呢，但我們從沒試過。“我早就盼著與你見面了?！币粋€(gè)熟悉的聲音響起，我轉(zhuǎn)過身來，克勞斯就站在離我不遠(yuǎn)的地方。 他還是我記憶中的樣子，雙手背在身后，身軀閃耀著瑩綠色的光芒。詛咒魔域被摧毀前，他想方設(shè)法逃了出來，后來我又見過他兩次，一次在監(jiān)控錄像里，另一次在黑暗之島上。他從吳大師手里逃離之后一直杳無音信，原來躲在這里了。大概是因?yàn)槲覠o動(dòng)于衷的表情，他冰冷的目光中露出了一絲慍色。其實(shí)，對(duì)于目前的情況，我心里也發(fā)慌，但我盡量保持鎮(zhèn)定。這只不過是個(gè)夢(mèng)而已，肯定的?！斑@摩天輪是我們蓋的，知道嗎？你得交租金。付錢也需要陳大師批準(zhǔn)嗎？別告訴我你交不起，住在這么熱的地方，冬天能省下來不少暖氣費(fèi)吧？”克勞斯快被我氣炸了，這樣更好，我決定開始說正事?！爸苯痈嬖V我吧，這個(gè)夢(mèng)什么時(shí)候結(jié)束？我還有其它事兒呢。

”“這根本就不是夢(mèng)，你這個(gè)白癡！

這就是江戶巫術(shù)的力量，我用它把你那軟弱的意識(shí)帶到了這里，我……”“可這確實(shí)很像個(gè)夢(mèng)，”我不等他說完打斷了他，“你怎么會(huì)在地下世界？你是自愿來這兒的嗎？你現(xiàn)在在欺負(fù)骷髏武士嗎？為什么你……”克勞斯的眼睛變成了熒藍(lán)色，他的手心突然射出亮光，轉(zhuǎn)眼間，我被一股沖擊波帶上了天。嘭！我倒吸了一口冷氣，痛感強(qiáng)烈真實(shí)，這確實(shí)不是在開玩笑?？藙谒沟哪樕细‖F(xiàn)出一個(gè)獰笑，他很高興我開始正視他了?！艾F(xiàn)在我要回答你的問題。自從你在黑暗之島上攪黃了我的好事之后，我就被迫來到了這里，但我不會(huì)在這里呆很久的，我很快就要回到忍者國(guó)了……當(dāng)然還有我的祖先和他們的信徒。我已經(jīng)弄到了足夠的載體供他們來附身，一旦諾姆鎮(zhèn)收集到了足夠多的江戶魔力，你額頭上的裂口就會(huì)被打開，塵封在歷史中的江戶巫師們就會(huì)穿過陰陽(yáng)兩界之門，離開往生世界，附身在合適的載體上，和我一起，用恐懼統(tǒng)治世界，開辟一個(gè)輝煌的新王朝！”……我瞠目結(jié)舌，這比我原先預(yù)想的要嚴(yán)重太多了。不行，我得阻止他，我得趕快去告訴別人，我得趕快醒過來，我得……“你哪也去不成，土元素大師?！笨藙谒沟淖爝值酶_了?！爸劣谀隳莻€(gè)用錘子給建筑搞破壞的主意就別想了。別忘了，你的意識(shí)完全處于我的掌控之中，你什么時(shí)候醒來得由我決定。實(shí)際上，那得等到諾姆有了足夠的江戶魔力，骷髏軍團(tuán)帶著我抓來的三百多號(hào)人駐進(jìn)鎮(zhèn)上之后了。到那時(shí)，你將眼睜睜地看著你的額頭裂開……恭喜你啊，土元素大師，你親手毀掉了你生活的世界！” 另附原文： This day has been ... interesting. This is my third day in Nom. Nothing much has happened really. I have spent most of the day trying to calm Jerahn down. To snap him out of his sobbing over losing his connection to Alyce, I took him for a hike in the outskirts and forests around the town. If something will go down, I want to know what I am dealing with and from which way we may get ambushed. It's all speculation at this point, but if Clouse and Karloff is in cahoots, I doubt that they are alone on it. There's got to be some sort of army behind them. The bad news is, that Nom can be attacked from anywhere. Hills to the south, forests to the north and east and barren rock landscapes to the west. I should call the others but I don't. My scar (rift) is starting to hurt a lot worse now. I have a gateway to the Departed Realm on my face! What will happen if it rips open? I cannot put my friends in that kind of jeopardy. If I warn them, they will come running to help. They always do, so I won't take that risk. When I get the chance I will speak with Master Yang again and tell him everything I know. Then, if I fail the people of Nom, he can reveal himself and tell them everything. Its the best I can come up with right now. We were joined by Seliel and engaged in a pretty intense sparring session. Again dual purposes. I wanted to see what Jerahn was worth in a fight, and it would get his mind off Alyce and wear him down. Both Seliel and Jerahn are very capable. Jerahn has Airjitzu on his side. He tried to teach it to Seliel, but either he is a lousy teacher, or she doesn't have the knack for it. She has her own tricks though and caught me off guard several time ... Packs a punch too if she manages to blind side you. During a break she updated me on the situation at city hall. Her father cannot stall the board of commerce any longer. The foreign investors have sent a message that they will arrive in two days. Work on the buildings will commence again tomorrow morning and the completion will take less than a day. I consider taking my hammer to them during the night, but I do not share this idea with Seliel. After another sparring session Jerahn excuses himself. He is completely worn down and quite frankly so am I. I can't even get myself to Airjitzu up the building to Yang's painting in the secret room. Seliel is as concerned as I am about some imminent attack. She has a lot of bad memories from the Nindroid crisis days, and she wants to do everything she can to protect the town. We return to the woods to set up traps and early warning alarms, but really there is no way to guard ourselves against all scenarios. With ghostly Clouse, any plot is possible. What says they will come on the ground, or if whatever army he has can even be stopped by physical objects? My scar (rift) hurts, my body hurts from the sparring and my head hurts from too much thinking. When I finally law down, my head hardly hits the pillow before I fall asleep ... here comes the dream again... WAKE UP COLE!!! The command is hard and unforgiving. I jump to my feet and try to focus. I recognize the place, but this is not where I fell asleep. Before me a Ferris wheel rotates lazily, but there is nothing cheerful about this place. It is an eerie dark with falls of lava feeding the bubbling rivers of magma below. I am in the Underworld! This is where we first faced Lord Garmadon and performed the Tornado of Creation. Looking up at it now, the outcome isn't exactly any kind of impressive. A Ferris wheel? I guess we were just younger and less experienced then. Still it was pretty good at the time. We had our elemental weapons back then. Except for the Sword of Fire. I believe Wu had it. But at least it was close. I doubt we would have been able to pull off the Tornado of Creation without the actual weapons the First Spinjitzu Master used to create Ninjago. "I have been looking forward to meeting you again" I turn to face Clouse. I know his voice well. I should be surprised but somehow I am not. He stands in front of me with his hands behind his back. He has that ghostly glow around him he did when we saw him on the Stixx surveillance photo, and later when we faced off against him on the Dark Island. He somehow made it out of the Cursed Realm before it's destruction, and he made his escape when Wu fought hum in his father's golden mech. I guess this is where he went. Clouse stares at me coldly. He seems mildly annoyed that I do not have some bigger reaction. I am weirded out but this, but I try to act cool. This is nothing but a dream. It's gotta be. '"You know we made that Ferris wheel? We should be charging you rent. And given that you are definitely saving because of the natural heating of this place, you should be able to afford it. Or do you need Chen to give you some allowance? Anyway ... can we get：othis dream over with? I have stuff to do." Clouse is fuming. All the better. Let's get to the point. "THIS IS NO DREAM INSOLENT FOOL! This is the power of Edo magic. I have brought your feeble mind here. I..." "It seems like a dream." He is just about to speak, but I cut in again. "Why are you in the Underworld? Are you playing with Skulkin now? Did you choose to go here yourself? Why would you ...?" Clouse's eyes glow blue as his palms light up blue. I am hit by a shock wave and sent flying. Ow! I pick myself up. That actually hurt. Maybe this isn't all fun and games anyway. Clouse shoots me a sinister smile knowing he has made his point and has my attention. "To answer tour question: No. I am not here of my own choosing. I ended up here after you meddled in my affairs on the Dark Island. But I will not be here for long. Soon I will return to Ninjago ... as shall my ancestors and those who followed them. I have all the vessels I need. There will soon be enough Edo power built up in Nom. The rift on your forehead will rip open and give those in the Departed Realm passage back to Ninjago. Two score Edo Sorcerers and hundreds of acolytes will pick the villagers they most see fit and join my reign in Ninjago's second Edo era. This land will bow in terror. It will be GLORIOUS!" "..." I am lost for words. This is bigger than I had figured. Much bigger. I needed to stop it. I nee to warn the others. I need to wake up and ... My thought are interrupted as Clouse smile widens. "Oh you won't go anywhere Master Of Earth. I have your mind remember? Your little idea of taking your hammer to the Edo buildings is not going to happen. You wake when I decide it's time to wake. And that won't happen until the Edo power is fully charged and my Skulkin march three hundred people right into Nom. Then you will wake just in time to feel your head split open. Congratulations Master of Earth ... You have doomed Ninjago by coming here!"
