"Good afternoon. Matthew nodded at a man in a security jacket as he led Sloan into the North Park.

The other party did not answer, but picked up the walkie-talkie and announced, "Grande's man brought a stranger into the North Park, Matthew." ”

Matthew frowned, "You don't need to report it, he's a guest of Grande......"

"Did you register when you came in? The security guard ignored Matthew and glanced at Sloan.

"He doesn't need to, he's our guest. Matthew tried to explain.

"That's not it. The security guard snorted, "So I need to report." ”

Matthew pursed his lips and glanced at Sloan, who was not speaking, as if admitting his mistake, "Next time I will register, this time I forgot, sorry, I will get used to it as soon as possible." ”

The security guard didn't want to let Matthew go, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Uh......" Matthew looked at Sloan again, "he's visiting a friend." ”

"In North Park?" was the tone of confirmation, "Friends in North Park, huh." ”

"Yes. Matthew's tone had been sincere, "We'll be fine here, don't disturb your patrol." ”

The security guard glanced at Matthew and Sloan again, then looked at the North Park, said nothing, and left.

"I see you Grande getting more and more ......" Sloane frowned when he didn't think of the right word for a moment, "It's regulated." ”

"Yes. Matthew replied softly, without commenting, "This way, Lip's graveyard is a little better, well, because it was commissioned by his father, Mr. Green." But of course, it still can't compare to the cemeteries in other parks. Matthew said as he counted the oddly shaped tombstones and determined the direction. Walk towards the fast low tombstone, and that is Lip's tomb.

"Green's commission. Sloan repeated, though in a declarative tone, "Would you mind telling me how Lip died this time?" ”

This. Well, someone who knows a certain future version in advance will speak so strangely.

"Didn't Zach tell you?" Matthew asked naturally.

"Zach. You call a breathing blood ghost by its name. "Or an abbreviation.

"Well......" Matthew blinked. A little stunned replied, "It's forbidden to call the boss, he said that he is used to being called Zack, and Benjamin doesn't like me to use the ...... of superiors and subordinates"

"Benjamin. Sloane tugged at the corners of his mouth, "You just call you Alpha by his name." ”

"Yes. That's what they let me call it. Matthew seemed to have thought of something, "Our ...... in Newton" but immediately shook his head, after all, this Sloan is still not familiar with Grande, so there is no need to say more, "Here it is." Matthew looked at the cemetery in front of him. "Lip, well, right down here, we've got a decent coffin, and I've read a Gospel. "It means that the rest of the people in the North Park don't have this treatment.

"Mr. Green came to see it a few times, and then no one came, after all, it was a secret funeral......" Matthew longed. He looked at Sloane as if he was reflexing, "Oh. Lip was suicidal, and Mr. Green didn't want anyone else to know, so he gave us a commission, a secret handling, a secret funeral. ”

"Suicide. Sloan seems to like to repeat what other people say, and that's probably the point. Sloane crouched in front of the tombstone. Looking at the stele that was not carved with anything, I didn't know what I was thinking, so I was silent and stopped talking.

After a moment, Sloane shook his head, "So this time." No one knew that the Grimm family had no heirs and that Lip had died. Is this an expression that the present is no longer the same as the future?

Matthew opened his mouth as Sloan said 'Grimm's heir'. Our simple and honest wolf Mathew, when he was ordered to bury Lip, did not think about the meaning of Lip's identity, it turned out that he was the heir of Green. Mr. Green is the director of the sanatorium, so what do you say you can inherit?

"Yes, yes, yes. Except for us Grande, Mr. Green. Matthew frowned, he felt that the topic was a bit beyond his ability, and could only barely keep up, "And you." ”

"Matthew. Sloane tugged at the weeds around the tombstone, "What do you know about the Dream Demon?" ”

"Uh...... Not much. "Matthew was tasked with accompanying Sloane, so if the other party wanted to chat, he could only accompany him," Benjamin told me that we rarely enter the dream world because our souls have died, so we just need to know that there is such a thing as a dream demon, and we can ignore it. Even if you meet someone who is suspected of not becoming a dream demon yet, you don't care, you don't need to participate in their life process. ”

"Benjamin was right. Sloane tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Dream Demons are not threatening, the only thing that makes them special is that the so-called real and the unreal coexist. He shook his head, "The dream demon in reality has not yet been born, and it already exists at the same time as the individual of the person who is still alive, and the timeline is chaotic in the coexistence of the dream demon and the human. He looked up at Matthew, who was already confused, "Do you know what this result is?"

Matthew didn't even try to think about it, just shook his head.

"People think that person is crazy. Sloane's fingers circled around his head, "Sick head." ”

Matthew pursed his lips, and could only try to understand, "Are you saying that the part that is alive or human is still in reality, but the part of the dream demon is already living in the dream realm. And then, yes, the same as a psycho?" Matthew modified his words.

Sloan didn't affirm Matthew's words, but nodded, "People who live in reality are the only connection between the dream demon and reality, and what the dream demon does in the dream realm will be reflected in reality." But......" he shook his head again, "did you ever dream? Matthew, when you were a human. ”

"When, of course it did, a lot should. Matthew frowned, reminded that he didn't miss dreaming, but he never thought about it, "but he doesn't remember much." Well, it's the same for everyone. ”

"Dreams are not reality, there is no time, space, people or things, everything is infinite after being freed from the constraints of reality. When you dream of a place, you may meet people or things ten years ago, but it only takes one turn to see people or things ten years later, and then in the blink of an eye, you may see the main character of the soap opera that you glanced at on TV before going to bed. All things that are bound by time, space, and laws in reality. In dreams, infinite. Can you imagine that infinite world? ”

Matthew shook his head, and Sloan continued, "It's impossible to do things in such an infinite world that can be acknowledged by a reality that is full of limitations. But Dream Demon is this kind of existence. When in the dream of a rapidly changing point in time occasionally and in reality. The Dream Demon coincided when he was still a human, and what the Dream Demon did in the dream was reflected in reality......" Sloane shook his head, looking very sorry.

"Lip was treated like a patient. Matthew pursed his lips,

"A patient who does not have any paper record. Sloane raised his hand, his expression changing, "Green's heir can't be a madman. "Suddenly, the topic became realistic," Zach said, referring to the aftermath of the nursing home fire. He looked for me, and I guess he looked for Lip, but probably didn't find anything. ”

Matthew was still changing his mood and nodded stunned.

"You're curious about the future, no, what it looks like now. If Lip hadn't set fire to the sanatorium and helped you Grande, how things are going now?"

Matthew shook his head. The logic is simple. It's useless to know, it's already a changed future. The possibility of being abandoned by time.

Sloan frowned, as if disappointed, it was clear that he was very eager to express it now, but Matthew didn't want to hear it. Ay.

But we should be clear that if there had been no fire in the sanatorium at that time. Now Lip is also dead. That's right, that's what Sloan said to Zach on the bus, Lip died at this point in time in the future that didn't happen, and Sloan missed his friends. So come back at this time to try your luck and pull Lip (succubus) out of the endless dream, who has lost contact with reality.

"Then I'm going to start. Sloan stood up and glanced at Matthew, "Don't let anyone disturb me. ”

"Oh. Matthew nodded and glanced at the south of North Park, where the patrolling security guards were gone. You should still remember that because of the traditional meaning of North Park, whether it is the arrangement of new employees of Grand or the arrangement of the security company, this place is skipped, which is a loophole and a convenience.

Matthew still looked around, "There shouldn't be anyone coming, what are you going to do......"

Pale blue light poured out from Sloane, and Matthew blinked, the blue light and shadow taking a step forward. Sloan, there are two.

"Say something like that. Sloane, who seemed to have just peeled off his blue shell, glanced at Matthew, "We're here to see friends, aren't we?" ”

Matthew didn't have time to answer, the blue 'shell' had already stepped on Lip's graveyard, "I don't want to be taken for something suspicious by your security guards. Blue Sloan spoke, to Matthew!

Sloane, who was standing still, bowed his head, clasped his hands in front of him, and "The Holy Lord told us......" actually began to pray.

The blue Sloan had begun to sink! into the cemetery, "I hope for a success." ”

Matthew's gaze switched back and forth between his side and the blue Sloane, knowing that the blue Sloan was completely submerged in the ground, Matthew opened his mouth, glanced at Sloan who bowed his head in prayer, and also lowered his head and joined in the prayer.

Thanks to his father's stay in church every week during this time, Matthew managed to recite the Word of the Lord for three minutes.

Sloane looked up and fell silent as he finished drawing the cross on his chest.

"Now, what's going on down there?"

Sloan glanced at Matthew, "I'm not down there anymore." ”

Matthew blinked and looked at the person in front of him, "And where are you?"

"Someone's daydream. ”

"Where?"

"Someone's spring-dream. ”

"Where?!"

"Someone's nightmare. ”

"Where!!"

Inexplicably, Sloane took a few steps back with a frowning face. The space around him seemed to twist, and without warning, blue light and shadow crashed into Sloane's body from all directions!

"I'm here. His face was a little pale and he glanced at Matthew, "I'm back." He raised his hand and moved his fingers, "Sorry, I didn't catch him, do it again." As he spoke, he stepped forward again, and blue light and shadow radiated from him again, about to step out and leave.

"Wait!" Matthew grabbed Sloane's arm in a little hurry, the light and shadow froze, and Matthew watched with some horror as Sloan turned his head, dragging the blue phantom that had not yet broken away and turned together. After facing Matthew, the blue Sloan framed by light and shadow and the Sloan who was pulled by Matthew completed the overlap of their faces, and spoke together-

"What are you waiting for?"

"What are you waiting for?"

The same voice and the same tone, because of the short time difference, did not ideally blend together.

Matthew shuddered unconsciously, "Uh...... I, En...... What you're going to do, very, hard, can I help?"

The entity's Sloan frowned and lowered his head, the two Sloanes overlapped with only their heads apart. This picture is even more disturbing.

"Can you grab the soul seal and the shackles of your body and climb to another world, the dream world?" asked the blue Sloane, who didn't bow his head, his chin half-buried in the back of Sloane's head.

"I, I'm probably going to break it. "Werewolf blood also restrains soul aliens, which needs no explanation.

"Then you can't help. Sloane, who bowed his head, looked up, and once again coincided with the blue Sloane. You thought it would be better, no, the blue Sloan shook his head as he spoke, and the swaying blue phantom made Matthew unable to see the face of the person in front of him at all!

"Lip is dead, his soul and body have been separated, and his soul has begun to dream demon life forms, and the only bond that holds the two together is already in decay, very fragile. The entity's Sloan tried to explain, and it could be regarded as a feedback on Matthew's kindness, "There's no place here where you can help. I took the kindness. ”

Matthew let go of his hand, looked unnaturally away, and watched the blue Sloane step in, and the two Sloanes appeared completely in front of him again. As before, the blue Sloane began to sink into the ground.

"We should go back. Another three minutes or so, the blue light and shadow suddenly appeared as Sloan took a few steps back without warning, crashing into his body, his face turned even paler, "This is not something that can be done in a short time, we shouldn't stay here for a long time." ”

Despite saying this, the blue still flashed from Sloane's body, and the blue Sloan walked out again.

"Then ......," Matthew wasn't quite sure who he was talking to, "what are we going to do now?"

"Back to Grande. Sloan turned around directly, but the blue Sloan stayed where he was, and finished speaking, "I'll bring back Lip's body and go back and prepare first." ”

"Bring it back, bring it back to Lip's body?" Matthew's gaze shifted back and forth between the two distances that began to pull apart, "How?"

The answer is revealed when Matthew returns to Grande.

Alice and Moonlight were still grooming Lang in the basement on the east side, and Matthew opened the freezer where the corpse was stored at Sloan's request.

The three funeral banshees temporarily stopped what they were doing, and watched curiously as Sloan bent over and made a hugging posture, "Here we are." Sloan gave a reminder.

The blue light and shadow suddenly appeared and crashed into Sloane's body, and at the same time, Sloane's body sank as he bent over and struck in an encirclement posture, pressed by something that appeared out of thin air.

Bang!

As soon as the thing was picked up by Sloan and placed like a freezer, it was pushed in and shut by Matthew!

"yes, I'm sorry, too, it stinks!" said Matthew. (To be continued.) )
