"That's all I saw and heard after I entered the depths of the dream world under the guidance of Dr. William Coulter. www.biquge.info As I said, as I said, he was about to pass through the gate, but was thwarted by a group of strangely disguised magicians - in fact, I suspect they were part of a vast organization that kept an eye on those who tried to study the spirit world, and thwarted their movements as it did this time. ”

This is the most ordinary room in the Grand Library of the Terminal North Gate, and all the people in the library who have status in the library have gathered here according to the prescribed time. Standing in the center of the room, Frick answered their questions again and again, his slightly strange voice growing hoarse.

After the investigation of the events that had occurred in the slums last time, he had thought that he would not face the same scene for the second time, and certainly not that he would be caught in the same situation so soon. The fatigue was so vivid that he couldn't even lift himself up just by sitting in his room.

After William Kurt was executed by the tall, lanky man in black, they were the next to deal with him - it was clear that they wouldn't let anyone who had invaded the depths of the spiritual realm return safely. However, just as they were getting ready, the sense of nothingness that had first entered the dream enveloped him once again.

With this wonderful power, he broke free from the shackles of the man in black and forcibly left the wilderness where the gate was located, leaving the deep world. I don't know how long it took for him to finally wake up from his dream, when he was already lying in a nearby hospital.

He was then placed under house arrest.

Relatively speaking, the armed scribes were polite to Frick, just telling him to stay in his dormitories and not run around. Still, he thinks that if these people didn't always like to run into his room in the middle of the night to disturb his sleep, he would have rated them better.

In fact, even if they didn't appear so obvious, he could clearly know that the upper echelons of the library were interested in William Coulter's experiment. Not only Curator Black, but also the magicians in the Magic Research Building had been waiting for the opportunity to divide up his research results, but now the name has changed to deal with the legacy.

It wasn't long before Frick was once again brought to the center of the council room to tell the crowd what had happened after their experiments had begun. If there's anything that makes him feel a little more relaxed, it's Akuli, who is sitting in the corner of the room.

Apparently surprised by the fact that Frick had only been in the Gate of the North for a while and had encountered so much trouble, so she finally arrived at the Gate after hearing the information about it. There is no doubt that after listening to Flick's story, she had a sinister expression.

Frick took a deep breath and continued, "Sir, I know very well that you will have a hard time believing what I am saying until I am able to show you some particular evidence. In fact, I really can't prove whether what I said is true or a dream. ”

In fact, it was a fluke that he was able to escape back into reality, as the people who followed Dr. Kurt into the depths of the spirit world fell into a strange stupor...... Except for the guy named Warren Pringen. He was sitting at the edge of the table on the periphery, listening to Frick tell him what had happened to them in the depths of their dreams—apparently he had returned to reality as soon as he realized something was wrong.

For some reason, he didn't ask any questions about Frick's account, as if he already knew what they were going through at the gate. Perhaps he had already noticed the existence of those men in black after exploring the spiritual world several times, but he had not yet had a direct conflict with them.

In any case, he didn't seem to pay a very obvious price, for he did not appear to be hurt, either physically or mentally. As for the other two sorcerers, they fell into a deep sleep like William Kurt, and were showing signs of failure.

He saw Dr. Coulter's spirit killed by the strange men in black, and perhaps that was the real reason why he couldn't wake up. The damage to the soul may not directly affect the body, but when it is killed, the person's spirit will also be declared dead.

"Dr. Coulter may have fallen into an endless slumber because of his mental ruin, but I don't think he will give up on waking himself up. Frick raised his voice, "Remember, gentlemen, he had been awake and interesting for a long time in the strange dreams of the depths of the spirit world before he fell into this terrible sleep, and even if he had become a ghost, he would not give up his obsession. ”

Frick remembered what he saw at the gate, and perhaps William Coulter, who had been killed, had not just dissipated into the cold wasteland. It is not only the cold and biting void that accompanies him in the scene, but also the more sinister and grotesque dreams.

This may have been Flick's own speculation, but he had not forgotten what the gatekeeper had said - time and space are one, this is part of the great poem, and that "William Coulter" who exists in all time and space will meet at the gate, and they will cross this door and reach the deeper world.

The words of the caretaker were obviously not to be fully believed, as the inflammatory words were in most cases intended to influence the minds of the visitors. It may not actively hurt the people who want to enter the door, but it will never have any kindness towards those people.

The creature that exists on the boundaries of the spirit world may have the power to peek into some of the possibilities, and he only wants to witness more possibilities when he tries to incite people to act as he wishes. If he makes some kind of suggestive remarks, then those words should have a real meaning.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart - Frick just casually said his statement, but he didn't expect the big people around him to have all kinds of wonderful reactions. Curator Blake and Warren Pringen looked at the materials at hand with little interest, as if they were about to fall asleep, while an unknown sorcerer looked at Frick with disdain on his face, scoffing at what he had said. As for Akuli, she seemed to believe what Frick said, but it caused a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Perhaps their reaction was good, as there was an elderly wizard who had apparently been unhappy with Frick's remarks from the very beginning. It didn't take long for the disgust he had managed to endure escalated into irrepressible anger and exploded in one breath.

He jerked to his feet, banged on the table with one hand, and said loudly, "How long are we going to put up with such stupid stuff (he said a dirty talk!!) You know, we've been listening to this guy for almost a whole day, and yet this guy keeps repeating all that illusory stuff like a drug poisoner, and now he's going to use this nonsense to perfunctory us -- Blake, why don't we just let this guy drink an honest potion or just end this damn council, you're going to make us the laughing stock of everybody!" ”

The sorcerer spoke so loudly that he was almost roaring unreasonably...... Maybe he didn't think Frick was a liar, but he thought it was just a waste of time to listen to him. His opinion was clear: either to obtain information in a straightforward way, or to put an end to the senseless operation.

"Okay, okay, let's think about it a little deeper. ”

Curator Black calmly raised his hand and said in a gentle tone, "I can understand your state of mind, but please don't be too impatient, de Chagula. What the young Sierra Leone is talking about is indeed a very bizarre experience, something that even those of us who have experienced many incredible experiences that we have not been exposed to too much, but I must say that it is not impossible. ”

All of you here, either senior sorcerers or scholars with a great deal of knowledge, were well aware that Dr. William Coulter had put a lot of effort into the study of the spirit world. They were not ignorant of the spirit world, so the visions that Flick saw were also a revelation for them.

This is dangerous research, and if the Men in Black organization as Flick says exists, it obviously makes it more difficult to explore. Some of the people who have been in the spirit world have also suffered the same fate as Dr. Coulter, and perhaps they are also victims of that organization.

After Curator Black's narrative stopped, another sorcerer took the liberty of interjecting: "As Mr. Sierra Leone mentioned earlier, those attackers knew about Dr. Coulter's plan and even knew his identity, can we think that some of them have infiltrated our side?" As you know, in the past few years, the study of the spiritual realm has come to a standstill in various countries around the world, and since many mages have not been able to return from their dreams, the dangers of dream exploration are being further examined. ”

I think it's time to put a break in this area and know how to find a safer way or catch this organization—he added at the end. It was an unsafe endeavor, and they had to be more careful after losing a mage of William Coulter's calibre.

The exploration of the spiritual world may be a tempting subject, but the rewards are very small, and there is a lack of practical progress. It may be possible to obtain certain dream artifacts with strong suggestive connotations at times, but their construction is too strange to be displayed as something tangible.

Maybe it's time for the plan to stop.
