The crack in the night sky that cut through half of the sky was a sign that Arya's dream was beginning to collapse, and this phenomenon in the dream showed that Sheen might have made progress in the ongoing operation on Arya's body in reality.

Finn is an outsider who has invaded the dream from outside of the dream by staying awake, and everyone in the dream except him is the character who originally existed in Arya's dream.

Therefore, when Finn heard the "snapping" sound coming from the heavens, and noticed that there was a crack in the night sky of the dream that heralded the collapse of the dream realm, little Arya next to the young man and the cultists who seemed to be conducting a human experiment on the elven villagers did not notice this strange situation.

Suddenly, just as the poison vine was about to plunge the amethyst gem in her hand into the chest of the next elven villager, several Cerberus hounds led by the cultists in chains seemed to smell something strange in the air.

The canine-like demonic creatures from the Brimstone Hell immediately opened their sulphur-smelling mouths and barked.

"What are you arguing about, you shitty brutes?!"

Originally focused on the pleasure of conducting human experiments, the Cerberus interrupted the Cerberus, and the poison vine suddenly turned her cheek sideways with a frown and glared at the nearest Cerberus at her feet, and scolded the other party unhappily.

In a fit of rage, she forgot to speak the demon language.

The low-level demons of Brimstone Hell couldn't understand the lingua franca of the surface world, but the Cerberus had sharp noses, and when they sniffed the scent in the air that caught their attention, they all turned in the same direction.

The next second, Finn and little Arya saw the Cerberus at the cultists' feet, turning around and pointing their heads at them.

Although both of them pursed their lips and did not scream, they both were shocked in their hearts.

The elven siblings in the dream held their breath and met the gaze of the Cerberus.

However, when the heads of the Cerberus are all facing the same direction. The poison vines and the other cultists of the Demon Shepherd Cult also noticed something in an instant.

So, the poison vine turned her cold gaze and followed the gaze of several hellhounds to look at the garbage heap that fell in her eyes, thought for a moment, then raised her hand and pointed at the two cultists beside her, and instructed: "You, and you—you two bring a cerberus over there and check the garbage heap over there." ”

The two people she called out with her fingers were the two cultists named Jack and Clarkson who had tried to trick Finn into opening the door outside the treehouse.

Jack glanced out of the corner of his eye at the parishioners around him, then lowered his hooded face. Then, pulling the chain he was holding, he drove the hellhound he had made a demonic contract with to the garbage heap where Finn and little Arya were hiding.

Clarkson watched Jack's actions stunned for a second, then hurriedly bowed to the poison vine and kowtowed, and then took a quick step to follow.

Little Arya stared at the two and a dog who were getting closer and closer to her and Finn, and her little throat was so tense that she almost ran out of breath.

At this time, she wanted to turn her head and ask Finn, who was occupying Ronnell's body, "Brother, have we been discovered?" ”

Then he heard his 'brother' gently reply to himself: "Don't worry, Arya, we are safe." ”

Of course, she knew it wasn't possible.

Little Arya felt danger approaching step by step. Naturally, Finn also fixed his eyes on the hellhound and the two cultists who were walking towards him and little Arya.

The young man's main concern at this time was not whether he and little Arya were discovered by the other party - after all, he knew that the hiding place of himself and little Arya must have been exposed for some reason.

That may have been caused by the crack that appeared in the night sky of the dream. When Arya maintains her nightmarish sleep consciousness and discovers that the dream is about to collapse, she may also find that Finn, who has invaded the dream from staying awake from reality, thus providing some kind of indescribable psychological cue to the hellhounds in the dream.

Arya herself could not have been hostile to Finn, so revealing Finn's hiding location may not have been the desired outcome of Arya's own will. It's the nightmare that imprisons the elf girl's personality consciousness in place of the choices she makes.

"Looks like the dream should have realized my presence." Finn gritted his teeth and breathed at the lowest frequency through his nose, mentally analyzing the situation. "But on the flip side, Sheehan's progress should have reached a critical stage, otherwise Arya's nightmare wouldn't be in a hurry to drive me back to reality."

Thinking so quickly in my head. He turned his head sideways to look at little Arya to the side, and saw his 'sister' staring at him closely.

The young man swallowed.

He guessed that little Arya had a high probability of being a projection of Arya's personality consciousness in her own dreams, so he must not let little Arya die in Arya's nightmare, otherwise he didn't know what the consequences would be.

Perhaps, Arya's consciousness will sleep forever because of little Arya's death in the dream?

Perhaps, while Arya sleeps forever, his own consciousness will be ejected from the dream and returned to his real body in a split second? Or also imprisoned forever in this nightmare of the elf girl?

These possibilities are terrifying just to think about.

"All in all, I have to find a way to protect little Arya now!" Finn stared at little Arya's cheeks, which still had a hint of childishness, and then made up his mind fiercely.

Anyway, if you're dead, you're just going to be bounced back to reality by dreams, aren't you? - he thought to himself.

Suddenly, the young paladin who occupied the elven boy in the dream made his own choice.

He read what the little girl wanted to express from his 'sister's emerald green eyes, and then he didn't think about whether he would make any movement, and then he raised his hand to stroke the hair of little Arya's blonde hair, and softly comforted and told her, "Leave it all to my brother...... Don't come out. ”

As soon as the words fell, Finn did not leave time for little Arya to be surprised and surprised, and then directly used his arm to lift a large pile of dirty things that covered him, and deliberately shouted loudly in an angry and even somewhat pompous voice - "Stop, you bastards! - rushed out of the garbage heap.

The next second. This move of his immediately succeeded in attracting the attention of all the cultists and hellhounds present.

……

The silver moon hangs in the air, and the dagger jungle in reality.

Vercidis crouched down on one knee beside Sheen and Arya, and the two ice-blue pupils in the Templar leader's eye sockets noticed a somewhat dazzling dark light on the amethyst gem set in the elven girl's chest, and immediately reminded Sheen softly, "Doctor, this amethyst is shining." ”

“…… Well. Sheehan steadied a small blade in his right hand, while his index finger and thumb on his left hand carefully held a small pair of pliers, using the jaws of the pliers to clamp an edge on the surface of the amethyst gemstone.

The brown-haired young doctor heard a faint mosquito-like hum on the surface of the crystal, and he struggled to widen his tired eyes, which were already bloodshot, and let his eyes look through the single-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose at the place between the two nipples on Arya's chest, and the concentration he was so absorbed in the operation that he had long since ignored the shyness and embarrassment of looking directly at the elven girl's carcass.

The skin on Arya's chest had been cut by Sheen with a small blade around the edge of the amethyst gem about half an hour ago. After that, Sheen used the small blade in his right hand and a small pair of pliers in his left hand to remove the amethyst from the flesh under the epidermis of Arya's chest.

Until this time, the young doctor felt that the operation went very smoothly.

Now, however, Sheen felt that the amethyst that was glowing with a dark glow at this time seemed to have a consciousness of its own, clinging to the flesh of Arya's chest like a greedy parasite, refusing to leave the elven girl's body.

This made the brown-haired young doctor dare not act rashly at once.

Through the feel of the metal pliers, he could feel his own hand tugging at Arya's heart through the pliers and crystal stone.

If she is not careful, the elf girl will die directly because of the slightest mistake at hand!

"Finn, what has become of your situation now?" For a moment, Sheen gritted his teeth. He slowly exhaled a breath from between his teeth, and his heart sparked slightly.

Less than half a second later, he immediately recovered from his interrupted state, and a drop of cold sweat slipped from the corner of his forehead with curly brown hair. Immediately mentally warn yourself: "Sheehan, what are you doing? It's surgery time, don't get distracted! ”

"Dr. Sheehan?" Vercidis turned his head sideways to look at Sheen's eyes.

“…… Mr. Vercidis. In the middle of the night, the brown-haired young doctor closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing and mentality. Then he reopened his eyes, released the small metal pliers in his left hand from the edges and corners of the surface of the amethyst gemstone, and lowered his eyes to extend his left hand to his side. "Please put this metal plier back and hand me the dark green potion bottle along with a cotton swab."

Temporarily playing the role of a doctor's assistant, Vercidis took the small metal pliers from Sheen's left palm and looked back at the potion bottle that lay on the linen.

The middle-aged Shadow Knight noticed that the small glass bottle containing the dark green potion was labeled "Highly Toxic" by the young doctor.

So, he immediately reminded Sheehan: "That bottle contains poison, which will cause necrosis of the flesh." ”

"I know." Sheehan replied to Vercidis in a resolute voice with a hint of certainty, "Hand me the bottle along with a cotton swab...... Then please trust me, thanks. ”

Vercidis was silent for a second.

Then, without saying anything more, he handed the vial containing the poison potion and a cotton swab to the other party as requested.

Sheen took the two things he needed from Vercidis's hand, casually ripped off the small wooden cork that blocked the mouth of the potion bottle, and after holding the bottle steady on his side, he put the cotton swab into the mouth of the bottle and soaked it in the poisonous potion in the small glass, and then smeared the small blade in his right hand with the cotton swab soaked in the potion.

Using the poison to necrimize the small amount of flesh that had stuck to the crystal, and then cutting the amethyst gem out of Arya's flesh - a method he had improvised with the experience he had gained from his past practice as a doctor.

He could not guarantee that the solution would succeed.

However, for the sake of his patients, and for his own ideals - even if he wants to gamble, even if he may fail, he must do his best to fight for the possibility of success.

"Gaztex is on top...... Righteous God, please bless me as an apostate sinner at least once more at this time. When he had no bottom in his heart, he finally sent a sincere temporary prayer in his heart to the gods he no longer believed in.

Then, the brown-haired young doctor forced all the tiredness in his body back to the bottom of his heart, retrieved the small metal pliers he had used from Vercidis's hand, and then extended the small blade smeared with the poison potion back to the flesh on Arya's chest that was glued to the amethyst gem.

……

Arya's nightmare world, followed by ice cracks under the dream night sky.

"Jack, look!" The cultist man named Clarkson saw Finn rushing out of the garbage heap alone, and immediately raised his finger to loudly alert the other cultist walking in front of him.

Holding the Cerberus chain in his hand, the cultist named Jack was not blind, and of course he suddenly saw Finn, who planned to use himself as bait to protect little Arya.

At this moment, not only Jack and Clarkson, but also the poison vines and the other cultists noticed Finn who appeared in the sight of all of them.

Suddenly, the poisonous vine turned his gaze to Finn, smiled indifferently, and ordered the other cultists around him, "Arrest him." ”

"Yes, Patriarch." The cultists did not hesitate to respond to the words of the Patriarchess.

Then, the group of men in black robes and hoods drew daggers, short swords, small scythes and other small weapons from under their robes, and rushed towards Finn with the hellhounds under their command.
