Chapter Ninety-Seven: Links
Early in the morning, Magic Corner.
Gu Yun came to this place full of magic for the second time.
The number of tourists who came to the city was obviously more than double that of the last time, thanks to the publicity of the last "abnormal event", the fact that a live frog was spit out of its mouth was widely circulated on the Internet, attracting a considerable number of people who liked to watch the excitement, so much so that the staff had to put up a sign in front of the "Witch Freemasonry" saying "Work area, idlers are not allowed to enter".
Avril asked the staff for a black robe several sizes older than her, and wrapped herself tightly.
She had heard her seniors mention that the Magic Corner in X City had set up a base for one of the witches, and she could recognize other witches, but other witches could also recognize her, and the "detection" range of her predecessors was obviously much wider than hers.
Fortunately, she was petite and could completely hide behind Gu Yun.
It's just that......
She didn't understand why Gu Yun had been leaning on the railing with a deep face since he came here, looking at the sign of 'Witch Freemasonry'.
"That...... What are you looking at? β
After knowing that Gu Yun would not beat herself, Avril dared to ask questions.
"I had a dream yesterday, and the location seems to be here."
The fragments of the dream were originally intermittent, and after waking up, Gu Yun could remember even fewer details, he could only vaguely remember that he saw An Ling in the dream, as for what the latter did at that time and what he said to him, he really couldn't remember.
On the other hand, there is no scientific basis for relying on dreams to judge An Ling's whereabouts. People often say that they think about it day and dream at night, or it may just be that he was anxious about An Ling's disappearance all day, so he involuntarily dreamed of An Ling after falling asleep.
"I think...... Dreams may not be accidental. β
Avril spoke cautiously, "The apprentice's spell book seems to have a spell about dreams, and if it is cast correctly, it seems that it can convey a message through dreams. β
In fact, not all of them willingly joined the Witch Society, and the Mistress did not send them an invitation, but tied them directly into the Society.
"One of my apprentices was a medium, and she was said to know many witchers, and the first night she was caught, she tried to use that spell to give the witchers a message."
Avril still remembers the other person's appearance - she was the eldest of the same group of apprentices, and although the contact time was not long, Avril's most difficult first day was spent with the comfort and encouragement of the other party.
She still remembers that before falling asleep, the other party came to the bed and touched her head.
"And then?"
"And then she never woke up."
Avril's face turned pale, "She was lying motionless on the bed, and when we pulled the quilt to check, we found that her body had been dissected by someone else." β
There was no blood, but there were wounds all over his body.
The seniors had long been accustomed to this, and just asked someone to carry the body out.
Avril then learns that dreams are a very dangerous and chaotic world, that they are directly linked to the human imagination, and that if the spell is skewed, or the caster is not strong enough, she will be sent to an unknown dream, which may be a dream or a nightmare.
If the person Gu Yun was looking for would be able to accurately enter his dream on the first night...... Doesn't that mean that her talent is even much higher than that of the medium?
"Maybe, I can find a way to get in touch with her."
"How?"
"It won't be long before they have a summoning ritual." Avril hesitated for a long time before continuing, "In principle, the summoning ritual itself is a directional teleportation spell, and if it disrupts its stability, it is possible to teleport you to her. β
"That's it."
"But there's also the possibility of a deviation in teleportation."
Witchcraft is an extremely esoteric science, and every material, every spell, has its own unique meaning, and once the stability is broken, the consequences will go in a direction that exceeds expectations.
Gu Yun may be teleported to the other party, or he may be teleported to the wilderness, or even to the deep sea 10,000 meters below.
As an apprentice, there was no guarantee of the accuracy of the teleportation ritual.
"The 50% chance is already the limit......"
"Then add another fifty."
Gu Yun put the sleepy-eyed white rabbit on Avril's shoulder, he didn't know anything about witchcraft, but as long as he had this white rabbit, the success rate should be at least 200%.
What is the concept of 200%?
That means that not only will he be accurately teleported to An Ling, but he may even get some small gifts in the process of teleportation.
Avril nodded.
Now they have to pin all their hopes on a rickety rabbit, although this thing is unreliable from beginning to end, but even the powerful master mother wants this white rabbit, then it must have something unique.
"By the way, there's something I need to explain beforehand."
Gu Yun opened his mouth and said, "After I leave, you stay here and wait for me, don't use your brains, especially don't try to take it for yourself - this is for your own good, this rabbit will bite, and it hurts to bite." β
He himself knows this very well.
The billboard that fell from the sky only bleed his nose, but this rabbit could bite through his skin in one bite, and in other words, even his bones would be pierced by his teeth.
It's no longer a question of whether or not to eat Tutu, but if it gets fussy about it, Tutu may be going to eat you.
"I see!" Avril looked at Gu Yun, and then at the lazy white rabbit on her shoulder, "I'm not going anywhere, please don't bite me!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The other side.
Led by a fierce witch, An Ling and his party came to an open field, next to an artificial lake, and on the other side of the grass and trees, they were on a dirt slope.
One of the six people who came yesterday has mysteriously disappeared, but no one has mentioned it along the way, An Ling is mixed in with several people, and she doesn't dare to say anything, she doesn't dare to ask anything, but this does not prevent her inner world from being magnificent.
The spell book distributed to her recorded a spell related to the dream realm, and she tried to send a distress signal to Gu Yun yesterday according to the spell recorded on it.
An Ling has a natural sense of trust in Gu Yun, because in less than a month, she has been rescued by Gu Yun twice. To be honest, the first two times she had a feeling that she couldn't repay her kindness and virtue, but this time her mood was much calmer, and she didn't have to worry about debts anyway.
You can't afford to pay it back once, let alone twice.
As for three, four, five......
Cough!
In short, she believed that Gu Yun would definitely appear in front of her at the most critical moment.
So, witch over there, don't rejoice too soon, you've been targeted by a mysterious force!
At least Anling has achieved a delicate balance in her inner world.
"There is one more thing that must be done before you become witches."
Before he could finish speaking, a three-headed dog descended from the sky, stalling between the witch and the apprentice.
An Ling stared at the terrifying creature with its bloody mouth wide open and kept leaving saliva on the ground, and blinked a few times.
This time, she was able to see it clearly!
This thing......
It's several times more terrifying than she imagined!
So much so that she couldn't help but wonder how Gu Yun had solved five such behemoths with one punch when she was downstairs at her house?
"Oh, that's good."
There was a hint of admiration in the witch's gazeβwhen the three-headed dog appeared, only two of the five were still standing.
Two of the other three fell to the ground, and the other screamed and hid behind a tree.
