Since prehistoric times, when people have not been able to correctly understand the nature of dreams, dreams have been believed to have incredible magical properties, and people believe that they can get metaphorical revelations from dreams, and from them they can obtain the wisdom key to unlock the intractable diseases they encounter in life. Of course, the "revelation" mentioned here is certainly not only used to tell the dreamer whether he may have a mother-love complex, but also to tell the dreamer about the current crisis or the future.

In the field of psychology, this revelation is considered to be the deep consciousness of the dreamer, which deals with certain clues of reality that are ignored by the surface consciousness, and then reminds the surface consciousness in the form of dreams; In psionics, it is believed that because dreams are closely related to the abstract realm of the universe, they can magically capture free information from time and space and add it to dreams.

In fact, not only psykers, but even ordinary people, as long as they have a certain degree of inspiration, can also use dreams and divination techniques to divinate clues to the future. Of course, it's hard to say how accurate it is. If someone like me had used it, it would have been no different from ordinary dreaming.

And if it is a psychics like the Turin doctor, although he is not a psychic medium, but his inspiration is sharp enough, and he has a deep dream attainment, the accuracy must be extremely high.

"I see. I'll do divination for you, Faceling. The Turin doctor nodded meekly, and then said in a tone of admonition, "But I don't know how much you know about divination. If you don't know much, then I am obligated to remind you that divination is not as convenient a tool as the world thinks. ”

"I want to hear about it." I knew what she was trying to remind me, but as a diviner, I had to let go of my ignorance and listen carefully to her advice as a professional.

"Suppose there is a person who is good at divination, and we call him a 'soothsayer' for convenience. One day, the soothsayer rolled three dice. But before that, out of curiosity, he divined the results of his dice roll in advance. The results of the divination showed that he would roll three sixes. He thought he had counted, and rolled the three dice. "So, the question is, can he really roll those three sixes?" ”

I replied, "Since you've asked that, the answer should be 'not necessarily'." ”

"Yes, not necessarily." She affirmed, "In divination, there is a saying for 'the inevitability of fate.'" The so-called inevitability of fate is that people will die one day, countries will collapse one day, and stars will be extinguished one day. In other words, only death is the absolutely irreversible fate of everything in this universe; On the other hand, everything can change. Among them, the three dice are also included. ”

She continued, "The soothsayers who appear in some fictional stories try to change them because they have predicted certain tragedies, and as a result, they ironically become the cause of the tragedy, which shows the absoluteness of the prophecy." But in true divination, it's the other way around. For the prophecy obtained by the soothsayer, the soothsayer himself is the agent who destroys the prophecy; And if the soothsayer tells the prophecy to others, the others will also become agents who destroy the prophecy. In the case of my hypothetical soothsayer, the reason why he may not be able to roll three sixes is because he already knows the outcome and is already a different person from the prophesied one. ”

"So, although you know divination, you were also violently trapped in the town of rest." I say.

"Yes." She admitted, "Although there are also reasons why he is also a soothsayer, you must know that there are many soothsayers in this world, and sometimes your own divination will also conflict with and be affected by other people's divination. ”

"But what you just said is just the drawbacks of 'divination for the future'." I asked, "What if I just asked you for a clue to an item right now?" ”

"If that's the case, it's much easier. But unfortunately, I couldn't. Because the Buddha sculpture you are looking for is an item that is related to me, and the dream divination that I am good at is a divination centered on the diviner, and the shallower the object of divination is with oneself, the more invalid it is. She said, "But if the object of my divination is you, it will be different, you are on the same side as me, and I can do the divination for you." It's just that because you don't have any clues about the Buddha carving, I can only go to divination, 'You may have found the future of the Buddha carving.'" ”

"I see."

"But—" she said, "if you allow me to enter and manipulate your dreams, and use your dreams for your own divination, then the premise is different. ”

"I refuse." I said without hesitation. No matter how confident I am in myself, I will not let a dream master sneak into my dreams.

She smiled predictably: "Aren't we good partners who trust and support each other?" ”

"Of course not. We're just a temporary partnership. It's just because the enemies happen to be the same that they come together. ”

"It's so cold." She sighed, and then said, "Then please say, 'I allow you to prophesy me.'" It seems that you have anti-divination measures set up by others, and without your personal consent, I can't get enough accurate results for your divination. ”

The anti-divination measures she mentioned were arranged for me a long time ago by her previous partner, mainly to blur the soothsayer's detection of my true identity and future whereabouts.

I nodded, then spoke, "I allow you to prophesy me." Then he added, "But only for the search for Buddha sculptures." ”

She hummed softly, and then said, "So, here I go." ”

With that, she fell silent. Although she was blindfolded with a black cloth and looked pretty much the same whether she was awake or asleep, judging by the pattern of her breathing, she seemed to fall asleep as soon as she finished speaking.

He is really worthy of being a master of dreams, and he can fall asleep in an instant...... The thought came to me and she woke up.

"What's wrong?" For a moment, I wondered if she had been woken up by something.

And what she said was, "I'm done with divination." ”

I was surprised: "So fast? ”

"I was able to manipulate the flow of time in my dreams to a certain extent." She said.

To a certain extent? Judging from her performance, this "certain extent" is estimated to be a very huge range. However, why didn't she show this ability during the Rest of the Town incident? As soon as this question came to mind, I thought of the answer, because it was not her own dream, but the nightmare of the dream monster.

"So, what was the result?" I asked.

She took a deep breath and spit it out again.

"Divination, success." "I saw two images in total, and some bits and pieces," she said. ”

"You seem to be a little uncomfortable."

"Don't worry." She shook her head before she continued, "The first image is that you boarded a train this evening and headed away from Beaver City. It looks like an ordinary train that passes by Beaver South Station. I'll then tell you the specific information about the train's number and stop times to make it easier for you to move. ”

"Okay." I nodded, "So, what about the second picture?" "Something related to the Buddha sculpture should be the second picture.

"The second picture is of you, standing in a very dark temple building surrounded by despair and madness. No, in a room in this building, to be exact. And that Buddha sculpture is in your hand, held tightly by you. ”

"At the same time," she said in a reminiscing tone, "in the darkness around you, there seems to be a powerful, malevolent presence that is watching you and trying to attack you. You know that this being is all around you, but you can't pinpoint its exact location. Also, for some reason, your attention doesn't seem to be on the other person, but instead your eyes are bloodshot and you have a terrifying expression on your face as you gaze at the Buddha statue.

"The beings in the darkness are very jealous of you, and must use the darkness as their protective clothing to avoid your destruction.

"This being is waiting for your attention to relax.

"Also, the door to the room you're in isn't closed. There seems to be another person outside the door. I couldn't tell what he was wearing or what he looked like, but I could feel that he was going crazy and fell to his knees, muttering broken words in his mouth.

"He didn't look at you, he didn't look at something in the darkness, but at something on the side, also outside the door. It seems that it was because of the sight of those things that his mind was completely shattered, so he went crazy......"

She used more words than she did to describe the first image when describing the second picture. There is no doubt that this picture is the key. I couldn't help but ask, "What exactly are you talking about 'those things'?" Listening to your words, it seems that there are quite a few of them? ”

"Sorry, I couldn't see what it was." She shook her head, "But, I feel very scared. Yes, what the man was looking at must have been something that frightened me so much, something distorted and blasphemous, that made it difficult for anyone who saw it to describe the shape. ”

Speaking of this, she actually shivered a little. This surprised me a little, and I wondered if I was dazzled. In my heart, the strength of the Turin doctor is like the hardest iron. Even, to put it bluntly, I have a lot of respect for the doctors of Turin. Because I know very well that, at heart, I am nothing more than a frightened coward, some arrogant masked warrior MONOCULUS, some cold monster faceling, that are all masks I wear to hide the immaturity of my mind. The doctors of Turin were far braver than me.

But now even she is afraid, what the hell are those things?

After a few moments, she sorted out her emotions and said to me, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper. ”

"I'll go on. Those things...... I couldn't see what it was, but in that image, neither you, nor the beings in the dark, seemed to think that those things were dangerous to themselves. She said something unexpected, "But, I suppose, those things must have some kind of uncanny magic." Because the man who went mad was so completely defeated in his mind. Generally speaking, even if someone sees something extremely terrifying, they will only fall into insanity, and even in the worst case, as long as they return to normal life, they will be able to piece their mind together to a certain extent. But that man was different, his mind was no different from a document that had been caught up in a shredder. So in this case, I can only think that it is those things that have the demonic nature to invade the minds of others and deal a devastating blow to them. ”

I see, no wonder "I" don't think those things are dangerous to me. Because my inspiration is too dull, I am not afraid of the power that directly affects the mind.

So, what about that being in the dark? Since they will be jealous of me, it means that they have a mind. But they ignore the things outside the door, could it be that they are in league with the things outside the door? Or, like me, not afraid of spells that affect the mind? Or is this being simply not human at all?

And who is that crazy person? Why is it so close to me and the being in the darkness? Is he an ordinary person, or is he a psyker?

It's useless to think about the air here. I then asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes." She nodded, "Maybe that's the most important thing." ”

Hearing this, I put on a posture of listening.

"According to the results of my divination, just recently, the withered believers also completed a divination for you." She said to me, "And it's a very successful, accurate divination." ”
