After leaving the confines of the castle and breaking through the nightmare of Bloody Mary, the two of them were suddenly plunged into darkness.

"What is this place?" Zhang Luo asked.

"It's a conduit between private and public dreams, and most people have never been there in their lifetime." Bloody Mary replied.

At this time, although the bodies of the two were still there, the "background picture" around them had completely disappeared. If it weren't for the glowing effect on the body that could see the other party's face clearly, I'm afraid it would have completely entered a state of black eyes.

"Can I 'go offline' now?" Zhang Luo continued to ask.

After experiencing the nightmare journey just now, even if his mental power is stronger than ordinary people, there is an irrepressible sense of exhaustion at this time.

Adventures in dreams are like playing competitive games, you need to concentrate at all times, and it is natural that you will feel tired after a long time. What's more, if you take the game as an analogy, Zhang Luo just now can be said to maintain a "limit operation" with a super fast hand speed for an hour, and with so much energy expended, it is very good that he has not fallen asleep directly now.

"Yes, just think about leaving the dream." Bloody Mary held out a finger and tapped her forehead.

……

When you open your eyes, the first thing that catches your eye is the familiar ceiling of the living room. Zhang Luo let go of the cold little hand he was still holding, and then stood up and stretched his body joints.

"It's really tiring." He shook his head vigorously, trying to sober himself up.

I thought it would be a relaxing dream trip, but when I woke up, it felt like I had been working all night for three nights and then drinking again, and I felt dizzy.

However, after confirming the data in the eyes of the executioner, Zhang Luo immediately found that he had gained a lot from the nightmare trip just now.

The other attributes and skills have not changed at all, but the point is that the "dream control" he mainly used just now is like riding a roller coaster, directly from the original level 1 to level 4, which is really a good surprise:

Dream Control (Level 4): The ability to control your dreams at will, and at the current level, the range of influence you can influence in dreams has been expanded again, and you can perform simple operations on the dreams of people around you.

"Not bad." Zhang Luo smiled.

――After leveling up, this skill does not have the restriction that "if used while conscious, it may become psychotic", and it seems that you can immediately dream as soon as you close your eyes.

Moreover, the current dream control can also perform simple operations on other people's dreams, that is to say, you can control other people's dreams. Although it can only be used on people who fall asleep at close range, there is still a gap between it and Freddy's "I Kill in My Dream", but it can be regarded as a huge breakthrough.

"Hmm......"

The silver-haired girl who was still leaning on the sofa slowly opened her eyes, stared at Zhang Luo with a frown, and then rubbed her eyes slowly, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Half past five in the afternoon." Zhang Luo glanced at the mobile phone screen on the table.

As he had thought before, the speed of time in the dream world was really different from the real world, and he had spent a few hours in the dream, but in the real world, it was only twenty minutes.

With a long sigh of relief, he sat down next to Bloody Mary, Zhang Luo yawned, leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Due to the amount of energy he had expended in the dream just now, after breaking through the Nightmare of Bloody Mary and getting the admission qualifications, he did not directly enter the real "dream space", but planned to wait until he went to sleep.

However, not long after resting, he saw a message pop up in the chat bar of the Executioner's Eye, sent by Frankenstein's portrait of the girl in white:

"I'm back."

"What are you kidding, aren't you leaking?" Zhang Luo, who thought that Frankenstein still needed to repair for a while, didn't expect her to recover so quickly, and immediately sent a message to the past.

"Changed to a spare body." Frankenstein responded, then added: "Come to the base, now for a meeting." ”

"Can't you just give me some time to rest?"

While complaining, Zhang Luo had already stood up and patted the silver-haired girl next to him on the shoulder: "Let's go?" ”

For some reason, Bloody Mary jumped up like an electric shock, flicked his hand away in a panic, and then rushed straight to the toilet, leaving only one sentence: "I'll go through the mirror, you still have to worry about yourself!" ”

"What kind of trouble is that guy......

Zhang Luo looked at his hands in some confusion, then quickly got dressed and went downstairs and took a taxi to the outskirts of the city.

It's possible to reach the base of the Strange Tales Research Society through an unstable portal, but if you do that, you may have some bad accidents, so it's better to be on the safe side.

When I arrived at the Society's underground base, it was already half past six in the evening. Zhang Luo had just entered the wide room of the arsenal and conference room when he saw that everyone else was already waiting.

"It's slow." Frankenstein commented succinctly.

"I came by taxi, and I can see the ghost soon, can I reimburse the fare?" Zhang Luo said indecent lines, and his eyes were fixed on Frankenstein's new body.

Aside from changing his original white dress into a black tight-fitting combat uniform, Frankenstein still looked the same as before, still looking cold, the only obvious difference was that he wore a jet-black metal ring on his wrist.

Noticing Zhang Luo's gaze, Frankenstein explained, "Guards. ”

It seems that after experiencing the previous incident of being accidentally injured by a weather weapon, she also immediately made a plan to deal with it.

"Boy, you're a billionaire now, and you're still thinking about reimbursement of your fare?" The silver-haired girl in the black dress standing next to her also returned to her original poisonous tongue state.

Hearing Bloody Mary's words, a kind smile appeared on Carremon's metallic face: "The ten billion dollars you extorted from Pharaoh before have already been laundered through our channels, and it is impossible for them to find you along this money." ”

"Well, the money is yours." Frankenstein said calmly.

became a billionaire in an instant, but Zhang Luo didn't show too much excitement, but nodded to Frankenstein: "Then I'll leave it to you to get a card, I'm too lazy to go to the bank." ”

Like the monsters of the Strange Talk Research Society, he doesn't have much pursuit of things like money, and is basically in a state of "as long as it's enough", so even if he learns this kind of news, he doesn't have much emotional swings at all.

Frankenstein nodded his head in acknowledgement, then turned his head to look at the pitch-black metal box next to the conference table where SCP-682 was stored:

"It's time to deal with the next loot."

"Oh? is to be tuned. Teach it? The thought of coming up close and personal with the creatures in the SCP Foundation's collection made Zhang Luo suddenly interested.

"No, it's about 'freeing' it." Frankenstein said.
