Chapter Twenty-Three: The Man Trapped by Dreams
The process of crossing the sea was quite long, I fell asleep unconsciously, and when I was woken up by the third senior brother, it was already evening, and the car was slowly driving into a very luxurious villa, I rubbed my eyes, and when I sat up, I heard the person who picked me up before chattering, and the fifth senior brother saw that I was awake and said, "They said that we have arrived, and we can get off when the car stops steadily." ”
After driving for about a few minutes, the car came to the villa and stopped, and the two Japanese got out of the car and opened the door for us, and the senior brother went down first, then me and the third senior brother, and finally the fifth senior brother and the seventh senior brother.
There was a butler-like person in a tuxedo standing at the door of the villa, and when he saw that we got off the bus, he greeted us and said to us in a very proficient Chinese: "Welcome guests from afar, I am the butler here, Miss ordered me to wait here for you, Miss has not come back yet, presumably you are very tired all the way, we have prepared a dinner for you, you can eat something first, and wait for Miss to come back by the way." ”
I nodded, and followed him to the house.
Dinner is very exquisite, almost all some traditional Japanese dishes, after the meal when we were drinking tea in the reception room, the door of the reception room was pushed open, I looked up, but saw a beautiful woman wearing a black fishtail short skirt with long black wavy hair pushing the door in, seeing me look at her, she walked over a few steps, bowed to me, and said in a mouth of Chinese that is not very fluent: "Hello Master Mo, I am the one who called you, my name is Momoeko Yamaguchi, please take care of me." ”
"You're the principal's agent this time?" I asked
"Yes," Yamaguchi Baihuizi said, "My father is upstairs now, when can I start?" ”
"Don't worry" I motioned to the third senior brother to take out a pen and power of attorney from the bag I brought over, put the power of attorney in front of her and said: "Please take a look at this power of attorney first, since you are an agent, I have added a column of the agent's signature on it, and I want to inform you that since it is not your dream that you entered, I am not responsible for any special circumstances that happen to your father after I fell into the dream, you can read the terms carefully, think clearly, I don't want to make trouble for myself again." ”
"No" Yamaguchi Shiraeko quickly signed the power of attorney, and said with a wry smile: "There are so many famous masters in Japan who can't wake up the master, and I don't have much hope now, if the master can get rid of that dream, whatever, I can't bear to see my father lose weight day by day" She sobbed in a low voice.
I nodded my head to indicate that I understood, and then said to her, "As for the cost of this commission, because this is the first time I have encountered this situation, I will talk about it until the commission is over." Can you take me to your father's room? ”
Yamaguchi nodded, shook his head again and said, "I'm afraid that my father will be sad, I'll let my housekeeper take you up" After that, she clapped her hands, only to see the housekeeper who picked me up before coming over, and Yamaguchi said to him: "Uncle Wu, you can take this Miss Mo and his senior brothers to the master's room." ”
Wu Bo nodded, turned to us and said, "Please come with me." ”
We followed him out of the living room, until we came to a room at the end of the second floor, Uncle Wu pushed the room open for us, the room was a little dark, Uncle Wu came to the big bed in the room, opened the curtains, and when I saw the emaciated old man on the bed, I was also shocked and gasped: the old man was about 60 years old, very thin, his cheeks were sunken, and he could only judge from his weak breathing that this person was still alive.
Uncle Wu wiped his eyes and said, "Miss Mo, this is our master, you must save our master!" ”
"Don't cry," I said softly, "I'll do my best, can I trouble you to go out first?" ”
"Yes Miss." Uncle Wu wiped his eyes, turned around and went out and closed the door, and when he went out, I glanced at a slightly faded charm attached to the head of the bed, and asked the third senior brother: "Senior brother, what do you think of this tal................isman?"
The third senior brother went up to check it and said, "It's just an ordinary exorcism talisman, but it doesn't seem to have any effect, which means that the old man shouldn't be possessed by some demons and monsters." ”
I nodded, it seemed that I could only fall asleep, I turned to a few senior brothers and said, "Help me keep an eye on the door, don't let anyone in." ”
Then he said to the golden crow that had turned into a ring on my hand: "Wake up, ready to work!" ”
"Got it, woman." There was a lazy voice from the ring, I looked at the third senior brother's not very good-looking face and shook my head helplessly, and then possessed, put my forehead on the old man's forehead, closed my eyes and concentrated, and silently recited the mantra in my heart, only to feel that my consciousness quickly got into a whirlpool, and the third senior brother saw that my body was lying on the old man's body, and quickly picked me up and put me on the other side of the big bed to lie down.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a garden full of red roses, and from beyond the rose walls of the garden seemed to hear the chuckle of a woman and the voice of a man, and I tried to reach out, but found that it was the same as Luo Hui's dream, and I could not pass through these objects.
I frowned, walked around the flower wall, and was surprised to find that the house in front of me was somewhat familiar.
"I'll go, isn't this the house I was in before I fell asleep?" I looked at the house in front of me, yes, this house is the luxurious villa in Yamaguchi, although the appearance is a little different, but I still saw some identical carvings on the exterior wall, I listened intently, but I heard the laughter faintly coming from the house where the old man lived before I fell asleep.
I frowned, walked to the door of the house, tried to reach out to push the door, but I didn't expect the door to open, but it was a young man, he didn't seem to see me, looked at the good weather outside the door, stretched and said, "Ah, it's also good weather today!" I walked up to him and looked at him carefully, but I always felt that he was a little similar to Uncle Wu's facial features, and I thought that this wouldn't be Uncle Wu when I was young, right?
I still had business to do, and seeing that he couldn't see me, and that the men and women who wanted to come to talk and laugh couldn't see me, I went up the stairs to the second floor, and drove to the front of the room, and reached out to hold the doorknob and was about to push the door in, but I heard a chuckle inside: "Look, I said there are guests coming, right?" ”
I was stunned, and before I could react, the door had opened from the inside, and it was a very beautiful young woman, she was wearing a simple red gauze skirt, barefoot, seeing that I was stunned there, she smiled and said, "Come in, what are you doing in a daze?" ”
I frowned, and entered the room, and the woman closed the door, and ran to the man who was sitting in a leather swivel chair with his back to me facing away from the window, and "Look, dear, what about the rare guest!" ”
"Oh?" The man turned his chair around, and I was stunned when he turned to face me: although the man in front of me looked very young, I could tell from his features that he had the appearance of Lord Yamaguchi. ”
After settling down, I smiled and said, "I'm dyeing in ink, Lord Yamaguchi, I'm really sorry for being uninvited." ”
"I know you," the young version of Yamaguchi began, "I know what you're here for, but I advise you not to do any more useless work, I don't plan to wake up." ”
I frowned, "You know you're in a dream?" ”
"That's right" Yamaguchi didn't speak, but the woman smiled, sat on Yamaguchi's lap, put her arms around his neck and looked at me, "From the first time he saw me in a dream, he already knew that he was in a dream~"
"Oh?" I also found a chair to sit on, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "So, you're the one who has kept him here, right?" ”
I looked at the woman and asked Jin Wu in my heart, "Can you tell if this woman is a ghost or something else?" ”
"Huh?" Jin Crow looked through my eyes in my mind, and this look was also stunned, and then sneered: "This is a nightmare"
"Nightmare?" I frowned inwardly and asked, "Isn't Nightmare a type of Dream Demon?" Are you saying this woman is a dream demon? ”
"Well, it's no ordinary dream demon." Jin Crow frowned and said: "I have lived for tens of thousands of years, and I have followed several masters, one of whom was a Westerner before, I heard him say about the dream demon, and this is just a vampire turned dream demon in front of you." ”
"Vampires?" My brows furrowed even tighter, although I knew before I came that this new area of Kyoto Hachito in Japan was a place where vampires and humans coexisted, but now such a complicated situation is really a headache, it seems that this dream demon not only entered the old man's dream, but also in the dream I don't know what method was used to make him younger, and now I am afraid that the will of the old man Yamaguchi has been fascinated by this female dream demon, and forcibly waking up is afraid that it will cause great damage to his brain.
"Don't you stare at people with such scary eyes~" Seeing that I was staring at them silently, the female dream demon smiled, slid down from Yamaguchi's lap, and saluted to my Yingying: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Alice, respected Dream Master." ”
"Now that you know that I am a dreamer, I think you should also know my purpose, why are you trapping him so much?" I already know her identity, and I am no longer polite at the moment, and I said coldly.
"Don't be fierce~~~" Alice said coquettishly: "People don't have any purpose, they just fell in love with him when they first met, and they just wanted to stay and fly with him." ”
I frowned when I heard this: "You should know that you are not the same kind as him, you have been trapping him like this, and his body in reality will gradually die, this is what you call love?" ”
"Allah, people didn't want him to die~" Alice smiled, sat back on Yamaguchi's lap, touched his face and said, "I discussed with him after I fell in love, and I plan to turn him into a vampire." ”
I frowned: "Although I don't care about his future with you, but he is the father of my client, and if you do this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get along with you." At worst, I may not be able to get the commission money, and I will be hunted down. I don't want such a hassle to happen. ”
"So I have a proposal here~" Alice looked at me with a smile and said, "I will pay double the price, please give up this commission." ”
I raised my eyebrows: "What about the conditions?" ”
"It's worthy of being a dreamer, and your brain is fast," Alice said, "In order for me to get out of here, I need you to uncover the spell at the bedside when you go back."
"That's fine, but you have to move fast," I said, "Thanks to that charm, Yamaguchi's body can hold a breath, if I reveal the charm and you don't come out for a long time, he will really die, once the soul goes to the other side, not only can you not turn him into a vampire, I will also have ** annoyance, if that's the case, the consequences you know." ”
"Don't worry, I don't want to be beaten to death by you." Alice grinned, then asked Yamaguchi softly, "Honey, are you ready?" ”
"I've been ready for a long time." Yamaguchi took his hand and said softly
I sighed and said, "I'll go out now, you should be able to feel the spell gone, right?" ”
"That's natural, it's true, if you hadn't suggested that they get a charm to stick on the bedside, maybe you wouldn't have to come over, I would have been with my dear a long time ago." Alice grumbled.
"I'm sorry about that," I said, walking over to the window and opening it
"Wow!" Alice exclaimed, "Although I knew that the way you woke up was quite special, I didn't expect it to be so special!" ”
"Shut up," I said, climbing out of the window and turning back to her, "You count to five in your dream, come out of here!" Otherwise, I'll use brute force to get you out!" ”
"People are so scared~" Alice patted her chest exaggeratedly, and then smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to be your enemy." ”
I nodded, jumped straight down, and closed my eyes before falling to the ground.
When I opened my eyes again, I got up with a carp, tore off the talisman while rubbing my head, took out the lighter and burned it directly, muttering: "It really hurts.................." and then looked at the old man on the bed, only to see a shadow slowly come out from his eyebrows, and fall to the ground to show a human form, not Alice.
"You keep your promise," I said
"Isn't that nonsense?" Alice smiled, then climbed onto the bed, opened her mouth, and took a bite at Yamaguchi's neck, the seventh senior brother was startled, hid behind the fifth senior brother and stretched out a finger at her in horror and said, "Suck ........... Vampire wow! ”
I rolled my eyes and winked at the fifth senior brother, so the seventh senior brother's mouth was covered.
I turned my head to look, but saw that Alice had left Yamaguchi's neck, the two holes in the neck healed quickly, and Yamaguchi's originally thin body gradually became fuller, and even the old state gradually disappeared, and finally froze at about 40 years old, and then Alice gently called: "Honey, dear? ”
Yamaguchi's eyelids moved, and then he slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Alice straddling him, and he smiled and said softly, "Honey"
"Okay, okay, everybody's happy." I got out of bed and motioned to the third senior brother to give me a cigarette, I lit it and took a puff and said, "Although it is not right to disturb you when you are just reunited, it is time to talk about compensation." ”
Yamaguchi slowly sat up with Alice's support, smiled at me and said, "I wonder if Miss Mo likes to read?" ”
"Books?" I smiled and said, "I like it, but I don't like ordinary books~"
Yamaguchi nodded, and then motioned for Alice to help him up, and between he walked to the bookcase on the side of the desk in his dream, and pressed it on the side, only to see a dark grid pop up from the bookshelf, Yamaguchi walked to the dark grid, took out a key, and groped for an almost invisible keyhole in the middle of the bookshelf and inserted it, with the turn, the bookshelf actually opened from the middle, and behind it was a stone room, with a huge magic circle carved on the ground, and a tall table in the middle of the magic circle, I saw Yamaguchi pick up a book from the table, walked out again, and after returning the bookshelf to its original state, he walked up to me and handed me the book, "I don't know if this book is interested, is Miss Mo interested?"
I took it and looked at it, smiled and asked, "Raymond Guyton?" Are you kidding me? ”
"No, it's not." Alice smiled: "That's the real thing that records how the Seventy-two Pillars of Solomon's Demon God were sealed!" As she spoke, she directly stretched out her hand and inserted it into her mouth, took out a wet golden ring from her mouth, floated to me and handed it to me, "No, this is Solomon's Ring." ”
I took the ring with a little disgust, took out a handkerchief and wiped it vigorously, took out a bottle of disinfectant and sprayed it and wiped it dry, and then put the ring on the edge of the golden crow, and as soon as I put it on, the ring automatically adjusted to the thickness of my finger, and then a magic array was formed under my feet, a burst of purple light flashed, and a white-haired man in a tuxedo knelt down on one knee in front of my feet and said: "Solomon's Ring Spirit Ballier has seen the new King Solomon. ”
I rolled my eyes, okay, one more troublesome guy, and I said to him, "You look up." ”
He looked up at me, and looked at me for a moment
"Do you understand what I'm saying?" I was surprised, sleeping, Belier is not a foreigner, oh no, foreign demon king, I just used Chinese!
"Lord Hui Demon King, since you inherited Solomon's Ring, what you said to me will be translated into English by yourself, and the ancient words I speak will also be automatically translated into Chinese." Bailey Road.
Well, I asked, "You just called me King Solomon, don't tell me that if I have this ring, I will become the next Solomon?" ”
"That's right" Beryl said respectfully: "Although you haven't passed the certification yet, but you exude an aura that belongs to the strong, the demon capital respects the strong, and I think you are a qualified Solomon even if you don't pass the certification." ”
At this time, I only heard Jin Wu say: "Fuck, why is there another one to compete with Lao Tzu!" ”
"Competing for favor?" Beryl looked at the glowing ring on my hand suspiciously, and said, "I felt a very powerful aura from that ring," and then looked at me and said, "It is worthy of my master, and he can actually subdue such a powerful force." ”
"It's okay," I laughed dryly, then looked at Alice and said, "Okay, I'll leave the rest to you, and I'll take the price, so I'll withdraw first." After that, he instructed the senior brother: "Senior brother, let's go quickly!" ”
"Hmm" Senior Brother nodded, took out the magic weapon from his pocket, walked to the window and threw it out, the magic weapon quickly became larger, I sat directly with a few senior brothers, I said to Alice and Yamaguchi who walked to the window to say goodbye to us: "Then let's go"
"Well, we'll see you later," Alice said with a smile
"No, I don't want to see you again." I rubbed my brows and said to Senior Brother, "Let's go!" ”
The elder brother nodded, controlled his compass and quickly ascended to the sky, and then flew directly to the landing site of the plane we came from.
