"Doctor, did you use hypnotic smoke?"

When he opened the door and walked into the bedroom, Xia De asked curiously. In fact, he was even more curious that the doctor who spit out the smoke was fine.

"No, this is my thaumaturgy [Mist of the Sleeping Dragon], which is sometimes used by me to assist patients in 'hypnotic' treatment. Don't worry, he is just an ordinary person, unless we make loud noises in his ears, otherwise he will Don't even think about waking up tonight."

The doctor said confidently.

Although Dr. Schneider was unlucky, his professionalism is still trustworthy.

After entering this somewhat narrow bedroom, the two checked the room separately to prevent other dangers when they fell asleep for a while. During this period, Luther Kingweiss, who was lying on the bed, showed no sign of waking up. Even when the two people who checked the room put their hands on his head in the dark, the sleeping man still didn't wake up.

With his eyes closed, under the light of the silver moon, he had a hideous expression on his face. Coupled with the red, swollen and terrible burn marks on the face, and the large shadow formed by the head on the pillow, this scene is really scary.

Dr. Schneider thought that the other party was having a nightmare, and this was a good time to fall asleep.

"The burn marks are really bad."

The doctor said in a low voice, he and Xia De both moved chairs and sat on both sides of the single bed.

Xia De extinguished the light on his fingertips, and drank the potion that the doctor gave to help him fall asleep. The doctor bound Shad's right hand to his left with a silver runic chain that looked like a lady's bracelet. On the rune chain, the three runes [Slumber], [Sleep], and [Dream] repeat in a cycle. This is an alchemy item.

It is not so troublesome for the doctor to fall into the dream alone, but to bring Xia De into the dream together, these additional preparations are required.

After doing this, the people sitting on both sides of the bed in the dark room rested their empty hands on Luther Kingwith's forehead.

"Doctor, how do you feel that we are holding some evil ceremony?"

Xia De said in a low voice, and was worried that Luther Kingweiss would suddenly open his eyes and be frightened to death by this scene.

"Detective, don't talk nonsense, let's relax now, I'm going to start falling asleep. If there are no accidents, we can wake up in about ten to fifteen minutes of reality."

"What if there is an accident?"

Xia De asked again, the doctor looked up at him, in the almost completely dark environment with the curtains drawn, he seemed to see some silver light in Xia De's eyes:

"Well... how worried are you about an accident? If something unfortunate happens, it's hard to say when, but trust me, detective, I'm a professional. Now lay on the bed Close your eyes, keep your body comfortable, good, one, two, three!"

The spirit gradually became lax, and the vague sense of involvement seemed to want to lead Xia De to a certain place. Xia De did not refuse this kind of traction, so his consciousness became more and more blurred.

In a daze, he seemed to be standing on the field ridge under the silver moon again, looking up at the vast night sky and the sea of ​​stars. But as the surrounding temperature rises, the huge silver moon disk above the head gradually disappears, and the fiery red light gradually erodes to replace the peaceful scenery of the fields under the moon.

The crackling sound of burning and the swaying flame gradually became clearer.

Xia De, who regained consciousness, shivered, as if he had drilled from the bottom of the water to the surface of the water for a moment.

He took a deep breath and looked around, but he was standing on the deserted night street at this time, in front of him was a burning house that seemed to be swallowed by a flame demon. The entire three-story building was set on fire, and the rushing heat waves and terrifying crackling sounds seemed to indicate that it was about to collapse.

In the dark night, the light of the flames pierced the eyes, which could hardly be opened.

Dr. Schneider was standing in front of Xia De, raised his palm to cover his eyes, squinted his eyes and looked forward, half of the doctor's face was reflected red by the fire:

"It really is a nightmare. Is it the scene of the fire? As expected."

Xia De looked down at his hand, but didn't see those golden cracks:

"I remember you said that as long as I am in a dream, I will..."

[Only in the deep dream, will the traces of the "divine afterglow" be exposed. This dream does not belong to you, you can only interfere with it to a limited extent, and therefore cannot reveal the essence of your soul. 】

It seemed that even in someone else's dream, she was still with him.

"Understood."

Thinking in my heart, I continued to look at the fire scene around me that seemed to burn everything. It's easy to tell that this is a dreamland. Such a big fire didn't alarm the neighbors around, and observing the burning buildings carefully, the flames didn't continue to destroy the damaged buildings at all, they just burned there.

"Doctor, what are we going to do now?"

Xia De asked softly, when he looked up to the higher part of the building, he actually saw a black figure flashing past the burning window:

"what is that?"

He thought in his heart, but the special environment of the dream greatly weakened the perception of outsiders, so the voice in his heart did not give an answer.

"I'm here to find the owner of the dream, detective, just wait a moment."

The doctor stood still with his eyes closed, and Shade continued to observe the burning flames ahead. Although this was the first time he had dreamed, this dream always gave him a strange feeling.

"I found it, it's upstairs... But this dream seems a bit strange, why do I feel that there are other things besides us?"

The blue-eyed doctor said with some surprise that he did not lead Xia De directly into the fire, but called out the ring of life, and the core spirit rune [dream] and the spirit rune [false reality] shimmered at the same time.

After the use of thaumaturgy, the strange halo spread from the brass ring to the surroundings, and in the air that seemed a little distorted by the heat, some black silk flocks appeared at this time.

Those black things look extremely filthy and weird, they travel through the material and air like phantoms, and even trying to touch them just let those silk flakes pass through your fingers.

"What's this?"

Xia De asked again in her heart, but she still didn't give an answer, because Xia De didn't touch these things at all.

"Doctor, it looks a bit strange here. Should we go to the owner of the dream, or quit now and give up?"

Xia De asked Dr. Schneider for his opinion. The doctor frowned and thought for a while, and even moved his nose towards the burning building in front of him, as if trying to catch the smell:

"There is no need to quit. There are indeed different strange phenomena in the dreams of different people, not to mention that the other party is a talent during the awakening period. Moreover, if I encounter an enemy in reality, I may worry about accidents, but this is the world of dreams. I am professional."

The strong self-confidence he showed also infected Xia De, and Xia De actually did not want to give up:

"So how do we break into the fire?"

The danger in the dream also affects them.

"give it to me."

[Dreamland] The spirit rune flickered again, and as the doctor uttered a difficult incantation, a layer of water enveloped Xia De. The heat was kept out, and at the same time he felt as if he had grown stronger.

"Thaumaturgy [Blessing of the Dream Fairy], within one hour of the dream experience, the damage of the scene is greatly reduced, and the strength of the subject is enhanced at the same time. In addition, in order not to wake up the owner of the dream, outsiders like us in the dream, even If there is a way to manipulate the dream, it is best not to do that. We can use our own ring magician power, but don't try to use the relic. Even if your spirit is strong enough to simulate the relic, don't use it in the dream, otherwise it will make the dream drift more Weird direction."

The Doctor walks up the house steps, explaining the ground rules for dream exploration. He grabbed the hot doorknob with his hand, turned it a few times, and then turned to Xia De and said:

"Detective, come and open the door. The lock in the dream is more difficult to open than the lock in reality. If you are not here, I am afraid I will have to look around for clues to understand the theme of the dream and the background of the story before unlocking the first lock. .”

"Doctor, it sounds like every time you break into a dream, it's like playing a role-playing game with pre-set rules."

Xia De said, walked up the steps and reached for the door lock. He just felt the warm heat, and after a slight resistance, the lock turned and the door swung open. According to the theory of dreams that Xia De learned, the lock in the dream is actually the "lock of the heart", which is also within the scope of the [Key of the Door].

The doctor smiled:

"Role-playing? This phrase is very interesting. But it does look like a very real game, and a psychiatrist is actually a dream detective. But compared to you detectives who went to investigate in the past, the detectives who investigate in dreams are a little safer."

Seeing that Xia De successfully unlocked the door, the doctor took a deep breath and recovered his serious expression:

"Get ready to fight now, even if there are no intruders other than us in the dream, this nightmare will definitely spontaneously produce some strange things to resist us."

"What would happen if you were injured in a dream?"

Xia De looked at the fire light inside the door, walked in, the doctor followed behind him, the flame licked the two of them:

"Mental power loss."

The hallway was blocked by collapsed shoe cabinets and clothes hangers, and the doctor asked Xia De, who was walking in front, to cut open the things that blocked the way.

"What if you die in a dream? Will you die in reality?"

After passing through the hall is the living room, and the upward stairs are on the other side of the living room. The crackling flames looked particularly terrifying, all around were bright lights, all flames~lightnovelpub.net~ all were heat waves, and the heat waves distorted the air, making everything extremely strange.

It was the first time for Xia De to go deep into the fire scene. Even if this was the fire scene in his dream, it really opened his eyes.

"No, detective, don't underestimate me. Death in the dream will force you to exit the dream, and then you will have a headache for several days. During this period, your mental resistance will be greatly weakened, and the risk of losing control will increase, but you will definitely not die directly."

The doctor said, and then pressed Shad's shoulders to keep him from walking so fast:

"Look ahead."

In the burning flames, a crawling thing that looked like a charred corpse was crawling on the ground. But if you look carefully, it is not crawling. Its body is facing upwards, and its hands and feet are folded downwards to touch the ground. When Xia De looked at it, the monster slapped the ground with its hands and feet, and rushed towards Xia De and Xiao De with flames. doctor.

"The monster in the dream will show the fear and thoughts of the dream owner. It seems that Luther Kingweiss has seen these people who were burned to death in the fire that year."

The doctor told Xia De to step back, and he walked towards the burning mummy head-on. When the two sides were about to collide with each other in three steps, the skinny, scorched body with folded arms and legs suddenly jumped up in the fire field and rushed towards the doctor's face.

But the doctor raised his left hand unhurriedly, and at the same time as a transparent round shield appeared in his hand, he raised his left hand upward—

Boom!

The flying body was knocked out by the shield, and after hitting the raised stone brick in the corner of the living room, it scattered into a ball of black ashes and disappeared.

"So weak?"

"This is just the dream of the talented, not the dream of the ring warlock."

The shield in the doctor's hand was scattered, and he shrugged:

"But the closer you get to the owner of the dream, the stronger the counterattack you will encounter, so you can't really think that this place is absolutely safe."
