Chapter 62: The Night Sect
"You're a dream builder, and if you enter Emily's dreams, you'll know all her secrets." Suzanne looked at Char in women's clothes, and the more she looked at it, the more cute she felt.
"It's dangerous to get into someone else's dreams, and... Her dreams were already shrouded in darkness. Char shook his head, he hadn't forgotten Dewey's instructions.
Char will not enter anyone's dreams unless absolutely necessary, or with the consent of the dream owner.
"Since you won't sleep, you'll have to wake her up," Suzanne shrugged her shoulders helplessly, stretched out her hands, and placed her index finger on Emily's temple.
Zizizi...
Susanna's fingers emitted a faint electric current, producing bursts of tingling pain.
Emily groaned and woke up from her coma.
She opened her eyes and saw Char standing beside the bed, and suddenly a frightened expression appeared on her face.
"I'm not a dream girl." Char knew that Emily regarded herself as a dream girl, and quickly explained, "Moreover, this is reality, not a dream. ”
Suzanne took out the Silver Wing Hunter emblem and handed it to Emily, saying, "We are Silver Wing Hunters..."
Char interrupted Suzanne and said, "We have been commissioned by your father, Locke, to protect you. ”
Suzanne was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what Char meant.
Ordinary people, especially Emily, who was born in a lower-class city, were hostile to the Federation.
In their view, the fact that society has become so unfair, that the cities are chaotic, and the crime rate is soaring, is caused by the incompetence of the Federation.
If Suzanne tells the truth, she says that she is being commissioned by the Federation to investigate the illegal drug "Dream". Emily is likely to be hostile and unwilling to tell the truth.
Char says that they were commissioned by Locke and were more likely to win Emily's favor.
An adolescent girl like Emily, although she is usually rebellious, but when she encounters danger, the first thing that comes to mind is her father!
After all, her father is Emily's only relative in the world, and the only shelter for her.
Sure enough, Emily saw that Char was not a dream girl, and heard him say the name of her father Locke, and her expression softened slightly.
"Why didn't he protect me personally! Every day only know to make money, make money, make money... Where was he when I was in danger? Emily still has a deep grudge against her father.
"Yes! As a father, he should have appeared. ”
Char winked at Susanna, who had read many psychological works and knew a lot about the psychology of adolescent girls.
Instead of refuting Emily's words, telling her how much Locke loved her and was willing to give her all the best things in the world, he empathized with her, followed her words, and blamed Locke with her.
Doing so makes it easier for Emily to let down her guard and open her mind.
Char's words stung the softest part of Emily's heart, and she covered her face and began to cry bitterly.
Char stepped forward, sat down on the bed, gently held Emily in his arms, and stroked her hair with his right hand.
Although Char was wearing a short skirt and stockings, dressed like a high school girl, his movements did remind Emily of her father, how safe she was when she was a child, and how wide and warm her father's chest was.
Emily slowly stopped crying, raised her little face, and said, "I'm much more comfortable, what do you want to know?" ”
"What the hell is going on at Santa Maria College?"
Char stared into Emily's eyes and said in a soft, dream-like voice, "Just say it, we're professional hunters, and we're supernatural with incredible abilities. We will definitely protect you. ”
Emily glanced at Susanna.
As she fell from the school building, she saw Suzanne running along the vertical wall and saved herself.
This is not something that humans can do.
Emily felt more relieved, but she shook her head and said in chagrin, "But I don't know what's going on at school?" Everyone seems to be crazy. Every night someone has nightmares, sleepwalking... People commit suicide every day. I... I couldn't hold on either. ”
"What did the anomaly start with?" Char was patient and asked softly.
"The anomaly is from..."
Emily's expression suddenly became in a trance, she lowered her head, bit her lip, and said, "I swore that I couldn't tell outsiders. Unless..."
Emily suddenly thought of something and was pleasantly surprised: "As long as you two agree to join us, you are not outsiders!" I can tell you everything, and I can finish my share of the week. ”
"Join you?"
Char's eyes flashed, and she glanced at Susanna, as if she had found the source of the anomaly.
"Yes, join our sect! The name of our denomination is 'Night'! Although it is a new denomination, it is growing rapidly! In Hope City alone, there are more than 10,000 believers. More than half of the students at St. Mary's College are followers of the Cult of the Night. There are also some teachers among them..."
At the mention of the Night Cult, Emily seemed excited.
"The Night Sect..."
Char's brows furrowed slightly, he had heard the name.
When Merlin mentioned Dream Girl, he once said that there were many people in Hope City who saw Dream Girl in their dreams, and some people formed a new sect to revere Dream Girl as a god and perform various secret religious ceremonies.
The Cult of the Night is one of these emerging sects.
The leader of the Cult of the Nights, who calls himself the Bishop, is an extremely mysterious figure.
Below the bishop are the saints, who are responsible for the religious activities of a certain area.
"Who are the saints of St. Mary's College? Vanessa? Char asked.
"That's her. She assigned each of us a task to recruit two new people within a week. I've seen my friends kill themselves one by one... I was scared, so..."
Emily whispered.
Emily will be bullied by Vanessa, also because the Night Sect needs to expand its power, forcibly pull people into the church, and rise rapidly in a short period of time.
"The suicide at St. Mary's College must have something to do with the Night Cult. What are we going to do? Find a way to leave, or keep the quest going? If the pursuit continues, it is likely to encounter unknowable dangers. This is beyond our reach. Char turned her head and said to Susanna.
"Of course, follow up! If you delay for a day, innocent students will die! For the sake of justice in my heart, I will definitely follow it down and find out what the Night Sect is doing. Suzanne said without thinking.
"It's justice in my heart again..."Char recalled the incident at Fort William, Suzanne had a chance to escape, but because of the justice in her heart, she chose to stay and almost die in the hands of Ender.
Susanna's behavior, which seemed reckless and even stupid to Char, touched his heart.
This dark world may really need justice!
