Volume 7 The Inverted Hanged Man Chapter 77 Weaving Nightmares
Really just like this to return to Utopia …… to see the scene outside, Wendell actually inexplicably have some relief and relaxation feeling, on their own choice to testify in court no longer have misgivings.
To know, the position he was just in was the washroom of MI9 headquarters, even if there was a heavily armed army, it was impossible to attack and come in.
Exhaling slowly, Wendell walked out of the washroom and headed towards the entrance of the hall.
Behind him, in the unattended corner of the lavatory, the pitch-black raven was cloaked in a ghostly shadow-like veil, losing its substantial presence, making it difficult to spot it even if one were to gaze directly at it.
Then, its body became more and more transparent and flew away until it was gone.
By this time, Wendell had already walked out several meters inside the hall, and saw a police officer wearing a black and white checkered uniform come in at the entrance.
This was the same young officer Byers who had asked him to testify in court.
”I knew you would definitely come because you are a kind person.” Byers greeted Wendell with a smile.
Upon hearing this compliment, a piece of Wendell’s heart finally fell back into place, and then, instinctively, he glanced back, only to see that the washroom he had come out of had changed its appearance and no longer felt familiar to him.
……
In the dream labyrinth of many minds, the giant white rabbit walking upright squeezed its way through the open doorway and into the wilderness of giant gray pillars and magnificent palaces.
Mr. “Fury” …… Although the other party was not wearing that mask of personality, the unforgettable features still helped Audrey to recognize who it was at once.
It was a bit out of her expectation, but it didn’t surprise her too much.
In her opinion, Mr. Fury alone would not be enough to deal with the ancient psychic dragon of Erihog, even if Mr. Fool had warned her to be wary of this one.
After all, the leader behind the Psycho Alchemy Society, the former King of Angels, had become a True God of Sequence 0, and according to the knowledge shared within the Tarot Society, there shouldn’t and wouldn’t be another “writer” in the real world. In this case, even if Mr. Fury was no matter how powerful he was, as long as he was still in the “audience” pathway, he would at most be at the same level as Erihog, with only a certain difference in terms of combat experience, psychological research, and self-cultivation.
At this moment, as the giant white rabbit entered, the large and gray scaled Erihog opened his skin-covered wings with a clatter, instantly shrouding the surrounding area with a layer of shadow.
The white rabbit stomped its feet and snapped into an extremely large size, like a small hill.
At the same time, directly above K, the obscure sky brightened at once, and at the bottom of K’s feet, the earth cracked open seam after seam, spewing out crimson magma.
Immediately afterward, a blurred and distorted figure protruded from behind it.
This figure was clad in a simple white robe, his features were hard to see, his age was indistinguishable, and he could only vaguely be seen as a male.
Behind his head, there was a halo of brilliant light, like a miniature sun; under his feet, there was an illusory clock divided into twelve compartments, with symbols symbolizing different times in each compartment; behind his back, there was a piece of shadow hanging as if it were a curtain, and within the shadow, there seemed to be a single eye peering noiselessly at the outside.
The silhouette of this figure only just appeared, causing the entire Dreamland Labyrinth to shake violently, with grayish fragments constantly falling from the void.
The two diametrically opposed sensations of filth and depravity and pure sunlight spread rapidly around the giant white rabbit, eroding or assimilating the area.
However, the silhouette of the man in the simple white robe never really took shape, unable to move from history and illusion into reality.
Whenever his silhouette was about to become clear, the figure would distort, like a machine whose signal had been interfered with.
At this moment, Audrey instinctively withdrew her gaze, not daring to look directly at the giant white rabbit.
Perhaps because she was in the dream world, closely connected to the island of the mind, the collective subconscious ocean, without the need for others to explain, she intuitively knew what Mr. “Fury” was doing.
The other side of the potential psychic problems of the ancient dragon of Erewhanger, know what is the most afraid of k, and then, accordingly, weave a nightmare containing concrete images.
–In a battle at the high level of the “audience” pathway, if both sides are at the same level, it is very difficult to produce a real effect by any means: one can dive into the islands of consciousness and carry out deep hypnosis, the other can guard the door of the mind body tightly, not allowing any external Consciousness, one can spread the spiritual plague, using the sea of collective subconsciousness to unknowingly erode the enemy, and the other can pacify itself, treating the psychological level of the disease, to maintain the health of the spirit. ……
Therefore, the battle of the same sequence of “audience” saints tends to show a fixed three styles: first, set traps in advance, make preparations in all aspects, and then, covertly induced, step by step, to break the other party’s mental defense, complete hypnosis; second, their own bias in defense and support, relying on powerful seals to defeat the enemy; third, in the When extraordinary abilities such as “mental plague”, “mind deprivation”, “dragon’s breath”, “consciousness manipulation” and so on can hardly help each other, self-hypnosis will be used. When it is difficult to deal with each other, they will hypnotize themselves and “dragonize” each other, and start a fierce physical fight with one claw and one tail.
In the third type of battle, whoever researches more deeply into the field of the mind, and whoever has a stronger and more determined will, can rely on a longer period of “dragonization” to gain an advantage and accumulate victory, provided, of course, that the other party doesn’t find a chance to escape.
When it comes to the angelic level, everyone is a real mythological creature, the length of the “dragonization” time is no longer meaningful, at this time, the main reliance on “insight”, who can better find the opponent’s spiritual loopholes, who can weave the corresponding nightmares, directly attacking the enemy’s spiritual weakness, and the enemy will be more powerful and determined. Attack the enemy’s mental weakness, step by step to destroy the spiritual defense, to achieve the effect of “scared crazy” or “scared to death”.
Since Audrey was in the same “dream”, even if the nightmare was not targeted at her, she would still be affected, and be influenced or even contaminated by the corresponding emotions, traits and personality.
Just like now, she clearly knows that the nightmare weaved by Mr. “Rage” represents the ancient sun god, which is the existence of the most fearful in the heart of Erihog, and at the same time, the influence of the ancient sun god will contaminate the surrounding area uncontrollably, until the entire dream world.
At that time, Audrey would wake up and either become a psychopath without healing instincts, or incarnate an incomplete mythological creature that would completely lose its mind and attack the surrounding beings in a frenzy.
Of course, there was also another possibility that she had fallen without any self-awareness, unconsciously becoming cold, cruel, and bloodthirsty, as if she had been replaced by another person.
At this time, Erihog, who was squatting at the top of the gray giant pillar, let out a hiss of pain.
The dragon roar echoed, k’s head became dark, floating a piece of all the colors and all the secrets, difficult to describe in words “ocean”.
In the middle of the ocean, a gray and white dragon hundreds or thousands of meters long, even more massive, rose up, k’s vertical eyes, one light gold, one bright red.
On the forehead of this giant dragon, there was a third eye, which seemed to harbor a dense shadow.
Again, without needing to be explained, Audrey, with the help of the particulars of her current state, knew at first sight what the nightmare woven by Erihog stood for.
This is something that has left a deep shadow in the heart of the giant white rabbit, this is the “Anglewild” after being eroded by the “underground”, this is a virtual personality, a piece of spiritual pollution sealed behind the bronze gate, which was split by the ancient god.
At this time, Audrey is located between two horrible indescribable nightmares, although not yet eroded, but the mental state has fluctuated, as if shocked.
She immediately gave herself a “appeasement”, and without hesitation, she relied on her own lucidity to forcibly break away from the dream labyrinth.
In this process, because she was not the target of Airey Hogg and Mr. “rage”, did not encounter obstruction, and himself also reached the sequence 4, has a certain degree of divinity, so, soon from the dream to wake up.
Audrey opened her eyes violently, saw the crystal chandelier tinted with a light scarlet, saw the deep night color that filled the room.
Without delay, she rolled out of bed, ran to the window, and looked out.
The entire manor was quiet, as in slumber, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Audrey frowned, immediately split into a “virtual personality”, let it into the night patrol of the psychic island.
She remembered very clearly, that the dream maze was made up of multiple minds, once the contamination of the two nightmares spread, the result was unimaginable.
So, she had to grab everyone in the manor before that happened and wake them up.
In the next second, that guard patrolling the night suddenly raised his hand, removed the grenade hanging from his belt, pulled out the fuse, and threw it towards the deserted garden.
Boom!
The explosion spread violently, startling the sleeping people.
Immediately afterward, the guard ripped out his voice and shouted:
”Enemy attack!”
”Enemy attack!”
Earl Hall and his wife were both over fifty years old, their sleep was already shallow, at this time, they woke up at once; Hibbert, who had a good quality of sleep again, also woke up in a daze in the face of that kind of explosion; Alfred even opened his eyes automatically when the grenade was thrown.
The rest of the butlers, maids, male servants, bodyguards, and members of the guards woke up one after another, their expressions bewildered and stunned, not knowing what had happened.
As for the several servants at the farthest distance from the main manor building, they heard less movement and failed to wake up in time.
That is, a few seconds later, they struggled painfully on the bed, breaking off all their outer skin like a snake molting, turning into a hideous bloody man.
And until they died, they didn’t wake up.
At that moment, Audrey saw within the sea of collective subconsciousness, a giant grayish-white dragon spreading its wings and rushing away, a giant white rabbit following close behind.
In an instant, the dragon’s voice echoed through the illusory sea:
”Adam is not necessarily Adam, just as I am not necessarily Erihog.”
The giant white rabbit’s figure slowed abruptly and gradually stopped.
All anomalies were then interrupted, and the entire area returned to normal.
……
Above the gray mist, inside the ancient palace.
Adam didn’t make a move? Klein “The Fool” frowned slightly and returned his attention to Utopia, replacing the instinctive monitoring of the “Spirit Worms”.
He scrutinized his town of secret puppets and found nothing out of the ordinary.
