Char's ability to "never forget" is the result of brain evolution.

"According to the Red Witch, there is a path to evolution. As long as you know the path, it is possible to evolve to the next stage and become the next level of ability? So, what's my next stage? Dream builders? ”

Char hesitated for a moment, tapped lightly on the table, and said in a deep voice, "What do you two think about Dream Building?" ”

The three of them began to discuss until now, and it has been the Red Witch and Merlin who have been discussing, and the hermit has never said a word and has not joined the discussion.

In the eyes of the Scarlet Witch and Merlin, the Hermit, as usual, was indifferent to all things in the world and had little interest in their discussions.

This was the first time that a hermit had taken the initiative to speak on the topic of dreaming.

"Building dreams?"

The Red Witch frowned slightly, looked at the hermit with her eyes, and said, "The Dream Builder is a new path, and the relevant information is monopolized by the Oneiroi Group, and I don't know much about it. All I know is that the first sequence before the Dream Builder is 'Reader', with an excellent memory and the ability to remember. The Dream Builder is the second sequence. As for the title of the third sequence, I don't know. ”

"Am I a first-sequence 'reader' now? Interesting name. ”

The corners of Char's mouth twitched slightly, he was right, he was already an Adept.

This also explains why after Char passed the exam, Ander of the Oneiroi Group immediately contacted him and invited him to participate in the training.

Ender's somewhat eager attitude made Char think that "Sweet Dreams Come True" was a hoax.

Now it seems that perhaps the Oneiroi Group is indeed training dream builders.

After all, even the first-level ability "reader" has undergone genetic mutation, which is very rare from the perspective of the entire human race.

"I don't know anything about dream builders. However, when it comes to dreaming, shouldn't the first thing that comes to mind be the nightmare virus and the dream girl in Hope City? Merlin said.

“...”

When the Red Witch heard the words Hope City, her face changed slightly, but her expression quickly returned to normal, and she sneered: "It's just an extremely ridiculous urban weird talk!" ”

"Tell me about it." Char, however, was intrigued by Merlin's words.

"There are a lot of weird stories circulating on the Internet, most of them are apocryphal, and a few are true. One of the most bizarre is the nightmare virus in Hope City. A research institute conducted a survey and found that there are millions of people in Hope City who have nightmares every night. And it's a terrifying dream that you know you're dreaming, but you can't wake up to. ”

Merlin said with enthus, "According to the research institute, this widespread nightmare has become an epidemic infectious disease, and it has been named the Nightmare Plague. The plague is likely related to Oneiroi's underground research institute in Hope City.

"People dream. As long as it is a dream, there are sweet dreams and nightmares. This agency is grandstanding, conspiracy theories. The Scarlet Witch scoffed at Merlin's claims.

"If the Nightmare Plague is a conspiracy theory, how can Dream Girl explain it?"

Merlin defended, "All of these patients in Hope City who have nightmares have dreamed of a girl in a black dress. When they woke up, they drew the girl in their dream, and the girl in the black dress that everyone dreamed of looked exactly the same! The Dream Girl story has spread on the Internet, and some people have established a new religion to worship her as the goddess of dreams. ”

Merlin's fingers flickered, and a portrait appeared in front of Char and the Scarlet Witch.

It was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, with black hair in a shawl, a pale face, dark eyes, and a long black dress, which had an illusory and unreal feeling.

She's the Dream Girl!

"Millions of people, dreaming of the same girl? That's weird. Char said secretly in his heart.

"The so-called dream girl is just a collective subconscious."

The Red Witch is a rational person who never believes in the ethereal urban legend that "thinks by day and dreams by night." When people see the portrait of the so-called dream girl on the Internet and dream at night, it is possible to dream of her. People who dream of a dream girl will talk about this strange dream, which in turn will expand its influence, forming a herd effect. This falls under the umbrella of psychology. ”

Merlin didn't argue, and whispered, "I don't think so... Maybe there's a nightmare hidden in the city of hope. ”

"Nightmare..."

The Scarlet Witch's body shook and wanted to continue asking, but Merlin didn't intend to continue.

"Thank you, Lord Hermit and the Scarlet Witch." Merlin stood up and bowed goodbye to Char and the Scarlet Witch, and the figure dissipated and left the bar.

Char nodded to the Scarlet Witch and left the table.

At the wine table, only the Red Witch was left.

Her right hand shook the wine glass in her hand, and the red wine in the glass was like a storm, setting off huge waves.

The heart of the Red Witch, like the red wine in the glass, has set off a monstrous wave.

"Merlin's performance was beyond my expectations. He knew the Nightmare existed. You know, even I heard about nightmares by chance. ”

"And his title, Merlin. He said it was from the Second Age, the name of a true wizard. The Second Age, more than a thousand years ago, has long been lost to the dust of history. Ordinary people don't even know about the existence of the Second Age, let alone the name of a wizard. ”

"In short, Merlin's identity is unusual, so be careful with him."

"Why did the hermit suddenly mention dreaming? Does he already know that I live in Hope City? Is this a knock on the mountain? He is a hermit! However, I also got valuable information from his words. It's possible that the hermit didn't know the rumors of the Nightmare Plague in Hope City. In other words, he is not from Hope City. Not even people from the Federation. So what kind of place is he from? ”

"AND, Dream Building, Oneiroi Group... Wait a minute. ”

The Red Witch suddenly remembered something, her fingers moved slightly, and she immediately began to inquire about the relevant information.

"Found it! AND is a genetic drug of the Oneiroi Group, which can cause a person's brain to mutate and evolve into a first-level supernatural 'reader'. However, the side effects of this drug are extremely high, the mortality rate is very high, and even if you don't die, your brain will be damaged and you will become a vegetative state. As a result, AND was federally banned and was soon discontinued. ”

"Later, the Oneiroi Group found a new drug to replace AND, although it is safer, but the cost is higher, the effect is also very poor, and it needs to be taken continuously."

Eventually, the Red Witch's attention falls on the "Dreams Come True" project.

"Could it be that the hermit is referring to the dream come true project? But what does he have to do with this plan? Will he participate in this program? That's impossible! The Red Witch was puzzled, and could only admit that the hermit was too inscrutable for her to guess the witch's thoughts.

"In that case..."

The figure of the Red Witch dissipates and leaves Shadow Street.

"The Silverwing Hunter Guild? I have a commission..."

The Scarlet Witch, under an anonymous identity, sent an application and deposit to the Silverwing Hunters' Guild.

......

Char didn't leave the bar, but went to the bar, smiled and said to Bob, "Bob, I need some information, some lessons on literature, philosophy, history." ”

"Hermit-sama, you're in luck, not long ago, a wizard happened to put some cracking courses with me." Bob, the bartender, wiped his glass and said briskly.

"Bob is really an artificial intelligence, he helps wizards consign information, like an auction house, just tell him the keyword, you can buy intelligence from him. Bob will never divulge any information about the seller or the purchaser. ”

Char nodded and said with a smile, "Bob, how much do these courses cost?" ”

"It's cheap, a Shadow Coin." Bob replied.

Char took a coin out of his pocket, flicked it on his fingers, and landed in front of Bob.

This is a shadow coin with the number "1" on one side and a beautiful relief on the other.

It was a large tree with lush foliage, rooted in the sky, and its crown hanging down to the earth.

Inverted Tree!
