The man was sitting in the cab, sipping coffee leisurely, and didn't seem to be flustered at all. The AK-carrying pirates who rushed in were like air to him, and it wasn't until Petru was inside that he lifted his eyelids to glance at them.

This is not normal.

Generally speaking, the crew of an ocean-going freighter, no matter how many storms and waves they have experienced, will be nervous when they meet the pirates, either desperately resisting or kneeling and begging for mercy.

Petrux has also met dispassionate captains who will negotiate with you without humility or arrogance, offering some reasonable quid pro quo to ensure the safety of his crew and cargo. Generally, this kind of person and ship will have some origins, and there will be some precautions on the ship that make robbers taboo, such as self-destruction and detonation procedures.

But the man in front of him didn't seem to have any intention of negotiating, his eyes were full of disdain, like the World Footballer of the Year watching a group of children play football. And the kids' skills were so bad that he didn't even want to watch them until Petrux came on the pitch – and the kid looked like he could bounce a few balls!

It's already strange for a person to drive a large cargo ship, and there must be something strange about this ship to be so calm when facing pirates.

Petru was not a reckless man, and when he thought of this, he immediately prepared to retreat. Be bold when you should be bold, be desperate when you should be desperate, but be cautious when you should be cautious, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't be alive today, and he would have been thrown into the Gulf of Aden by his opponent to feed the fish.

He immediately turned around and walked out.

From the time he stepped into the cab, the man looked up at him, he sensed something was wrong, and it wouldn't take more than two seconds from the time he decided to turn back. The hatch was supposed to be half a meter behind him, and if he took a step back, he would be back on the deck outside the bridge.

However, when he turned around, the hatch behind him was gone. The deck outside the cabin, the side of the ship, the sea level outside the ship, and the sky in the distance were all gone.

In front of me was a dark, damp room. Sunlight came in through the skylight on the roof, allowing you to see the moldy walls.

Lavier was tied to a cross at the front of the house, and a strong, shirtless man was whipping her. Lavier's clothes were beaten to shreds, and his bare skin was covered with scars, some fresh blood gurgling out, and some old wounds were ugly scabs, like devil's scales.

Petru's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but exclaim: Lavier!

Almost at the same time, a clear thought arose in his mind and struck his mind. He understands that this is not true, this is a dream!

Petru has had the ability to dream lucidly since he was a child. He still remembers many of the dreams he had when he was a child, because those dreams are exactly the same as real experiences, and it's hard to tell them apart. At one point, he was depressed and unable to communicate with other people. It wasn't until much later that he met him in the mercenary regiment to the spiritual mentor - the priest.

The priest was the nickname of the mentor when he was in the army, because he liked to give psychological counseling to people. He teaches Petru about lucid dreaming and trains him in his ability to control his dreams. The pastor said that this spiritual power is God-given and can only be possessed by those who are favored by God.

The priest is a magical person who can not only control dreams, but also enter into other people's dreams. However, before he could teach Petru how to sleep, he was killed by a sniper during a military operation.

Petru had already learned to control his dreams under the guidance of the priest, and he could learn more if he went further in his practice. According to the pastor, when you practice to the extreme, you can get close to God.

But the priest died.

The priest's death was a great mental blow to Petru, and he found that no matter how strong his spiritual power was, he couldn't stop Barrett's shot. Spiritual training came at a great cost, and after the priest died, he didn't know what to do next, so he gave up on continuing to improve on the path of spiritual practice.

Anyway, the spiritual power he had learned was enough for him. He was able to control his dreams and stop having those hateful dreams that were difficult to distinguish between true and false; He has become more sensitive in battle, especially his intuitive judgment of danger, which is his secret weapon to save the day many times.

Later in his career as a soldier and pirate, Petrux also encountered some people with special psychic abilities, but none of them were as powerful as the priest.

It had been a long time since he had experienced the feeling of being mind-controlled and hypnotized into a dream.

So, when he first stepped onto the living deck of the ship and approached the wheelhouse, although he felt something unusual, he didn't think much of it. And when he walked into the wheelhouse and made eye contact with the man with the coffee, he still didn't realize that the other man was hypnotizing himself, and probably all the pirates on board.

Petrux just had a gut feeling that the ship was weird and that there was danger on board. It wasn't until he wanted to turn around and leave, and saw Lavier, who was being tortured, that he realized that he was hypnotized and dreaming.

If it were an ordinary person, when he realized this, the dream would definitely collapse. At this time, he may wake up, and the hypnotist may notice his mental ability and exert a more advanced mental attack. Anyway, Petru knew that the other side would not wake up alive and thus have a chance to shoot.

But Petru is not an ordinary person, he is a person who has been trained spiritually, and his spiritual power may not be strong, but as the priest said, his talent is extremely high, and his potential is limitless.

He knew that he had met a master, and the people in front of him were probably killed by him so unknowingly, and it was even possible that through the control of dreams, the pirates committed suicide.

While Petru thought about this, he was also thinking about countermeasures.

He decided to stay in the dream for the first time and pretend he didn't realize anything. Of course, the subconscious in the dream world does not deceive, so if the other party looks at him in his dream, he will not be able to pretend.

Fortunately, the man did not enter his dream. Maybe there were too many pirates for him to look at them all; Maybe people don't bother to come in and see what you ants are dreaming about; Maybe he's preparing further psychic attacks, like having these dreaming pirates kill each other or something.

Petrux once heard the priest say that a truly strong person can make a group of people have the same dream, and can also combine people's dreams with the actual environment, and the dreamer is like sleepwalking, and it is difficult for onlookers to distinguish the truth from the false. But such spiritual powerhouses are extremely rare, and they are all close to god-like people.

Petru tried his best to hide his true thoughts and not let his mental power fluctuate greatly. So he let the dream develop without actively interfering.

The torturer was still whipping hard, and Lavier's screams rang out in his ears. Petrux shouted Lavier's name as he walked towards the place of execution.

However, at this time, the dream went in an unexpected direction-

The sound of the whip whipping the flesh was still crackling, but the person who carried the whip was Petru himself. He waved his whip in numbness and with a little excitement, and Lavier's screams turned into moans, and there was a sense of satisfaction in his voice.

Is this the true thoughts of the subconscious, or is God joking? Petru was almost so shocked by the scene that his dream collapsed, but he was able to control it.

Now the most important thing is, how to escape this dream?

Struggle to wake up and shoot the person at the first opportunity, or continue dreaming and wait for the right moment?
