Chapter 288: Dreams
"Nightmare" plays it well...... So, this is a dream? That's right, if it weren't for a dream, how could the "Church of Plenty" be full? Pastor Norris fears that such a good thing can only be imagined in a dream.
However, I was unconsciously pulled into the dream...... When?
Abner thought about it for a moment, and immediately noticed something incongruous.
For example, the hotel he was in before was only a block away from the Church of Plenty, why didn't he take advantage of the night to "fly" over directly?
And the rental carriage stopped in front of him as soon as he went out...... Of course, what is even more contrary is that the coachman actually did not charge!
At this time, Judy's mother, the lady with long brown hair, saw that Abner was abrupt, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have noticed it...... That's right, I used a seal to pull people in the neighborhood into this dream. Hehe, the negative effects of that mask came too suddenly, and in order not to cause a big riot, I can only use this method to temporarily satisfy its little 'hobby'.
"And, it's also helpful for the patients you bring in...... His previous extraordinary traits were poorly digested...... No, it can be said that there is almost no digestion...... With the help of this environment, it is very helpful to have him play it appropriately. ”
At this point, the long-haired lady glanced at Abner and continued, "I sent a carriage to invite you here, originally to ask about the details of your mask...... But you seem to be very capable of acting in dreams, and you have always remained awake......"
The fact that I was able to stay awake in my dreams was mostly related to the "pure white eyes...... However, it was still no match for Crane, who was not only awake, but also immediately aware that he was in a dream......
Of course, this is also related to experience, and if I encounter too much, I can probably tell the difference.
Abner thought for a moment, but instead of answering the words of the long-haired lady, he asked, "Even if these nearby residents are confused, they will leave some impressions after such a ridiculous dream...... I'm afraid that I will have a grudge against the Church of Plenty, how will Pastor Norris preach in the future? ”
"They are all storm believers, and it is impossible for them to accept the teachings of Mother God." The long-haired brown lady browled her eyebrows. Rightfully so.
Do you mean that these are already "sunk" capital, so they are being utilized in "waste"?
Abnaton was speechless, and his intuition was that this "lazy" young lady who suspected of being a psychological alchemy seemed to have some bad taste......
How did such a character teach a "simple" daughter like Miss Judy?
Abner scolded and asked again, "But so many people have the same absurd dream, and when they wake up, they will be very frightened, what if they sue the Storm Church?" ”
"You seem to be thinking about something rude...... the long-haired lady squinted, then pointed to Dunn, who was still giving an impromptu speech in front of the pulpit, and smiled, "That's right! How to reflect the effect of 'Nightmare' without fear?
"As for reporting to the Church of the Storm? That's even more unlikely, they won't remember where they were scared. ”
Won't remember...... I see, I almost forgot that the lady in front of me is a demigod of the "audience" path, and it is likely that she is a "manipulator" of Sequence 4, and "modifying" the consciousness of ordinary people who have fallen into dreams is her forte.
Nodding slightly, Abner sorted out his words, described the negative effects of the "clown mask" in detail, and finally said, "I was planning to recycle and seal it before. ”
The long-haired brown lady held her right elbow with her left hand, pinched her chin with her right hand and pondered for a moment, then she pondered, "If you can, I want you to lend me this mask...... Or lend it to my patients for a while.
"For one, you also know that his current identity is a bit inappropriate, and he needs some disguise, and the 'Joker' mask is just right.
"Second, when I was doing his initial treatment, I found that this patient's personality was too gentle to be a real 'nightmare'...... The negative effects of this mask can help him just in kind, whether it's 'Nightmare' or 'Midnight Poet', it can do the job very well. ”
As for the "side effects" of splitting into a new personality, she didn't care. After all, for a demigod-level "psychiatrist", the so-called splitting of a new personality is not a matter at all.
Abner thought hard about her request and decided that it would be okay to agree. That mask is of little use to him now, not to mention that the other party also transported the "cow" he asked for thousands of miles over, and this favor always has to be returned.
"Yes......" Abner nodded before admonishing solemnly, "but be careful of the mask's 'backlash', its character is very bad." ”
"Don't worry, in terms of communication skills with this kind of 'living' seal, although I can't compare to the high-level powerhouses of the 'corpse collector' path, I have a way to make 'it' slightly change some ideas." The lady with long brown hair covered her mouth and smiled.
Are you planning to hypnotize the seal? Is there still such an operation?
Just as Abner was a little dumbfounded, the brown-haired lady continued, "But I can't borrow your things without a little expression, or Judy will have to complain that I have been disgraced in front of her friends if she finds out." ”
I don't think you have the concept of "losing face" at all......
While Abner was complaining in his heart, he listened to Judy's mother say:
"Well, I have two options here.
"First, I've heard that you're already a 'polymath' and definitely need to 'parse' and 'learn' some practical abilities, and I can demonstrate to you all the abilities of the 'audience' pathway sequences 9 to 4...... Of course, how much you can learn depends on your ability. ”
Know that I am a "polymath"? There are not many people who know this information...... So, ma'am, you really value Lilith...... It should be the second or fifth boy she is stationed in the "Psychological Alchemy Society".
Thinking so in his heart, Abner asked quietly on the surface, "What about the second option?" ”
"Hehe, the second option is a complete manuscript of the construction of the 'secret arts', which should help you when you become a 'secretarial mentor' in the future." The brunette replied with a chuckle.
"What kind of 'secret art' is it?" Abner asked curiously.
"Its name is 'Solar Eclipse', derived from the 'Eclipse' ability of the 'Astronomer' in the 'Omniscient' pathway sequence 5, which can create an environment of pure darkness that obscures the sun through a simple ritual." The brunette lady briefly described the effect of a "secret technique".
"Eclipse" ...... "astronomer"...... I remember that this sequence was called "astronomer" in ancient times, and the emperor once said in his diary that after becoming an "astronomer", he had his own extraordinary ability of actual combat......
Well, this "practical extraordinary ability" can't be the effect borrowed from various "astronomical phenomena", right?
"Eclipse" is the word that obscures the sun and creates darkness; So, the "lunar eclipse" is to block the red moon, reduce spirituality, and reduce inspiration, right?
What about "meteor showers"? It doesn't really invite fireballs to fall from the sky, does it? In the future, "0-08" smashed Klein with a meteorite, did it also borrow a similar principle?
After a moment of divergent thinking, Abner gathered his thoughts, weighed them for a moment, and finally decided, "I choose the ability to observe." ”
He has been coveting the ability of the "audience" for a long time, but unfortunately there has been no suitable person or item for him to "gather wool". Now there are demigods from the "audience" who take the initiative to come over, and he doesn't want to miss it.
As for the manuscript of the composition of the "solar eclipse", although it is also quite good, it is not practical for him now.
"You should be tomorrow afternoon's train, right? Then I'll show you a show when I come back tomorrow morning. The long-haired brown lady nodded at first, then glanced sideways at Dunn, who had finished his "speech" and had embarrassment written on his face, and said with a smile, "Okay, that's the end of tonight, I wish you all good dreams." ”
As her clear voice fell, the scene shattered, and Abner sat up sharply, only to find himself still on the bed in his hotel room.
"No wonder the Emperor always said to 'watch out for the audience'......
"Hehe, her purpose of borrowing the 'clown mask' will never be as simple as she says......
"But since she is a trusted person of Mother Earth God, she will never harm Dunn."
……
The next morning, Abner rushed to the Church of Plenty, where he had watched Judy's mother's demonstration, and had a chat with Dunn, who was a little uncomfortable seeing him, before heading to the steam train station and taking the first train of the afternoon to Tingen just before the sun set.
This time, he didn't disguise himself and rented a room in the hotel in his true form.
After a brief bath, Abner was about to rest, when he suddenly felt a trance, but he quickly came to his senses.
After a forced dream experience, he suddenly knew that he was being pulled into a dream by someone again!
