Farewell to the neighbors.

Kamiyagawa went out with his "dream man's father".

He is familiar with the area around the low-rent apartment, and the street scene in his dream is the same as reality.

"It's a dream on the scale of 10,000 people, and it's really a big deal."

Kamiya sighed in his heart.

Next, he has to find the location of the individual alienated dream man in this cluster dream.

According to Ms. Nomoto, when she spied into this dream, she could clearly see that the alienated dream man was in the center of the dream, which was very conspicuous.

But I don't know if it's because of the different perspectives.

After Kamiya fell into a dream, he didn't have such a grand vision, and the only area he could see and perceive was the area around him.

"Do you sense where we're looking for?"

Kamiyagawa leaned closer to the dream man behind him and whispered.

The latter nodded, then shook his head again.

Looking at the appearance of the little tapir, it probably has a little feeling, but it is not sure whether it is accurate or not.

"Let's go according to your feelings."

In the dream realm, Kamiya is not as powerful as the little tapir, so this line of action will be handed over to it for the time being.

A short walk out of the low-cost apartment area, you can reach the bustling streets and alleys.

The time in the dream is daytime, and the time displayed on a large screen on the street is 1 pm.

There is pedestrian and vehicular movement on the streets.

However, there is a lot less foot traffic than in the real world.

Everyone's side is followed by a dream man with a different shape, but with the same face.

No one feels abnormal about it.

All of them are in normal life activities.

And Kamiya, because of the presence of the Dream Eater Tapir, is no different from the pedestrians on the street, and blends in perfectly with them.

The master and slave walked down the street for a while.

The little tapir quietly sensed it and turned into a path.

This is a residential alley, and there are some private cars parked on the side of the road, and there is no one around.

The tapir walked straight to one of the black Rolls-Royces and reached out to touch the door.

A faint red light flashed, and the door clicked open.

The central control in the car also has induction.

"Whew-"

The tapir got into the passenger seat and beckoned to the owner.

"Yours...... I also picked the most expensive one. ”

Kamiyagawa was not polite and went straight to the driver's seat.

There is no concept of private property in the dream.

You can be a Grand Theft Auto with impunity.

Everything in the car still feels so real that nothing can be attached, whether it's the feel of holding the steering wheel or the tactile feeling of the leather seats.

On the car display, the navigation destination automatically appears, and the location is in Minato-ku, Tokyo.

This is where the tapir senses something strange and plans to go over to check the situation.

"Minato? You can go to Minato Ward, the scope of this dream is really big...... Maybe it includes the whole of Tokyo, or maybe the entire Kanto region? Kamiyagawa started the luxury car that he picked up on the side of the road, stepped on the accelerator, hit the steering wheel and drove out.

……

Dream World, Minato-ku, Tokyo.

When I drove to this area, even Kamiyagawa sensed that something was wrong.

The dream man atmosphere here seems to be much stronger than that near low-rent apartments.

Under the guidance of the tapir, Kamiya parked the car near a relatively remote unfinished building.

The Lord got out of the car from the two and saw that there were a lot of dream men gathered on the street here.

The image of these dream men is very uniform.

Except for the unnatural patchwork of faces, the clothes are exactly the same.

White shirt, red tie, black suit.

On the waists of individual dream men, Kamiya also saw the police with guns.

Moreover, around this group of dream men, there are no normal dream sunken people.

"This group of dream men is ownerless? Was it a natural occurrence in a dream or what? ”

Kamiya was curious, and stood not far away to watch.

His appearance also attracted the attention of the group of dream men, but after seeing Kamiyagawa standing next to him wearing a home T-shirt and a sloppy middle-aged dress, those dream men didn't pay much attention to him.

Just raised his hand to signal him to leave.

Kamiya thought for a moment and retreated with the little tapir pretending to retreat.

Seventy or eighty dream men near the unfinished building began to surround the unfinished building.

"What are these dream men who dress like men in black for?"

Kamiyagawa didn't really leave, took the little tapir, and went around to the back of the unfinished building.

The dream-eating tapir's perception is correct, there is indeed an anomaly in this place.

But it doesn't seem to be where the alienated dream man is.

Before he could confirm the situation in detail, he heard shouts and gunshots.

"Fighting?"

He looked up at the unfinished building, where the situation was uncertain.

Those dream men who seem to be "ownerless", who are they fighting with?

"Damn, how did you find this thing?"

"Disperse!"

“……”

A chaotic shout was heard, and Kamiya saw a figure rushing out of the unfinished building.

It was a man with a relatively strong body, holding only a steel bar in his hand, waving it in the wind, and was surrounded by several dream men.

Kamiya recognized the man's face.

It seems to be a person in the countermeasure room.,It's also a soul slayer who participates in the action against the dream man.。

But I can't call each other's names, it's just that my face is familiar.

"Someone from the countermeasure room."

Kamiyagawa suddenly understood who the opponent of this group of dream men was.

After the dream of 10,000 people came, many soul removers were also sleeping and trapped in dreams, judging from the current situation, the people in the unfinished building are likely to be soul removers.

They are probably different from ordinary people, they all know that they are trapped in dreams, so they have a conflict with the dream men.

Since it is confirmed that it is a friend, it is time to consider helping.

If you die in this dream, it is difficult to say whether there will be a situation where your consciousness will die and your body will become a vegetative state.

In addition, Kamiyagawa is now fighting alone, so it might be a good thing if he can find friendly units.

"Little tapir, can we get rid of the dream man here without attracting attention?"

Kamiyagawa was eager to try.

"Poof." The tapir made a rough judgment and nodded.

It says it's OK!

"Let's go!"

Kamiyagawa immediately climbed over the fence.

As soon as his feet landed, he happened to see the male soul slayer waving a steel bar and knocking away the police gun in the hand of a dream man.

Without hesitation, he flew over, picked up the pistol on the ground, turned over and raised his hand to shoot.

Bang! Bang!

The black gun magazine slides quickly, and the pistol in the dream feels real.

The sound was loud, the smell of gunsmoke was pungent, and the recoil was not small.

Kamiya has been practicing guns for a long time, and he doesn't dare to say that he has every shot, but there is still no problem in participating in actual combat with a gun.

Two bullets were fired, and the two dream men who were surrounding the male soul slayer fell to the ground, turning into dark fragments.

"Kamiya River?"

The soul slayer obviously knew Kamiya, and he was surprised and delighted.

Although I don't know why this ghost disciple suddenly appeared here.

But it's great that he's here!

The soul slayer didn't care about the color on his body, and waved the steel bar in his hand even harder.

At that time, several more figures rushed out of the unfinished building.

And one of them, Kamiyagawa is very familiar.

Wearing a high ponytail that is easy to move around, and wearing a tweed coat with horn buttons, his flexible and bright figure is extremely conspicuous.

"Onizuka?"

The little shrine maiden is also here.

Onizuka is being chased by several dream men, and there are dream men shooting at her behind her.

Dense bursts of bullets were fired from several muzzles.

No matter how fast Onizuka's speed is, but when it can't use the Kikyo spell, it can't be as fast as a bullet.

"Poof."

At the moment when Onizuka was about to be hit, a blurred light formed a light shield outlined in front of her, engulfing the flying bullets.

Kamiya's side also quickly turned the muzzle of the gun, and directly emptied the magazine at the several dream men chasing Onizuka.

The little witch reacted quickly on the battlefield, realizing that she was being aided by a friend behind her, and jumped forward with her feet, approaching the side of a dream man who didn't react.

The distance between the two narrowed, and Onizuka's right elbow went down, grabbed the collar of the other's suit, and the toes were straight, bending the knees, and exerting force on his body.

A nice and smooth over-the-shoulder back fall!

There was a muffled pop.

The dream man was slammed to the ground by Onizuka.

Kamiya remembers that the little shrine maiden once said that she was a ten-dan red belt in judo, and she was also proficient in taekwondo.

Regardless of their respective abilities and weapons, there is a high probability that Kamiyagawa will not be her opponent in hand-to-hand combat alone.

Dealing with the enemies that stand in his way, Onizuka turns his head.

"Kamiya? Why do you ......?"

The battlefield is obviously not a good place to talk, and before Onizuka finishes speaking, many dream men in suits and collars surround him.

Fortunately, the little tapir exerted its strength at this time and cut into the central area of the unfinished building, directly revealing its true body.

The dream-eating tapir with the body and claws of the bear has its nose held high, and the auspicious cloud lines on its forehead and limbs shine brightly.

The blurry red light burst out on the battlefield, and the dream man's body that came into contact with the red light quickly dissolved, turning into dark debris flowing on the ground, and then gathering and pouring into the mouth of the little tapir.

Knock Knock Knock –

In addition, inside the unfinished building, Kamiya also heard the sound of a tambourine.

In the sound of banging, the aura of the surrounding dream man continued to weaken.

It didn't take long for all the dream male aura to disappear.

Then, the space of the entire unfinished building began to distort, and Kamiya once again felt the gaze of many eyes.

At this moment, the sound of the tambourine became louder, and the red light on the dream-eating tapir became more dazzling.

After a few seconds, the anomaly was silenced.

"This way, come this way."

"Is anyone hurt?"

"Count the number of people......"

The people in the unfinished building converged in one place.

The people present were indeed the soul slayers of the countermeasure room, and most of them were familiar to Kamiyagawa, but they couldn't name them.

But one of them he knew, a middle-aged man in his forties with feminine features, named Naoto Funakoshi.

A soul slayer who specializes in dreams.

When dealing with the Dream Man incident before, Funakoshi was also one of the main forces, and he had the strength to solve the dreams of hundreds of people.

The sound of the tambourine just now was also made by him.

Maybe it's because his own ability is related to dreams.,Funaoshi is also very special compared to all the soul slayers on the battlefield.,He's one of the few people who can use his abilities in dreams.。

As for the more than eighty ownerless dream men just now, most of them were dealt with by Mr. Funakoshi and the Dream Eater Tapir.

Kamiya and Onizuka, the spirit-slayerers with limited abilities, have only taken out a few enemies.

"Yanagida and Okabe were seriously injured. Ishikawa and Hehe ...... Unable to escape, they dissipated......"

Everyone present counted the number of people, including Kamiya, a total of 15 people.

Listening to the content of their conversation, Kamiya learned that two soul slayers had "died" in Yumeo's attack just now.

"The dream men have already found it, we can't stay here any longer, let's leave first."

……

The crowd directly found a truck near the unfinished building.

Let the two soul slayers go to the cab, and the rest of the people got into the carriage in one go.

Onizuka and Kamiya sat side by side in an iron-clad carriage.

The dream-eating tapir was a little overwhelmed again, and instead of turning into a dream man, he maintained his appearance, lying in the owner's arms and napping.

As the car moved, the mood of the people in the car calmed down a little and they began to talk.

Through the others, Kamiya learned that although the dream of ten thousand people had come, the outside world had only passed for more than a day.

But the person trapped in the dream feels that he has spent two weeks in this strange dream world.

Onizuka: "...... I didn't know at first that I was trapped in a dream, I just felt that something was wrong. It didn't take long for me to see the dream man...... After I got rid of the dream man, the scene around me began to become unstable, as if there were many eyes watching me. ”

"When the situation around me stabilized again, there was a dream man like just now, wearing a suit and carrying a police gun."

"There weren't too many dream men who appeared at the beginning, but I couldn't use any spells in the dream, so I could only run away."

"Has Kanya seen Inception? I feel that those dream men in black are just like the subconscious of those dream owners in Inception, which are used to protect this dream. They realized that I was a special person and wanted to kill me to keep the dream stable. ”

"I was running around in Tokyo, hiding. Every time I finally hid, the feeling of space distortion and being watched would appear again, and then soon the man in black would come to the door. Until I met Mr. Funakoshi. ”

"Mr. Funakoshi is special, he can also use certain abilities in the dream realm, which can mask the aura of our group of people who are not 'exclusive' dream men. After merging with everyone, I temporarily got rid of the pursuit of the man in black, and until just now, you saw everything just now......"

Onizuka gives a rough account of what happened to her in her dreams.

The more than ten soul slayers gathered at the moment have roughly the same experience as her, and they all killed the "exclusive" dream man around them soon after entering the dream.

The follow-up attracted many men in black to chase and kill.

Onizuka: "Kamiya, how did you get in?" Are you trapped in a dream too? ”

"I'm here to save you."

"Hmmm......"

Inside the shaking carriage, the original air was silent, and Kamiya was even quieter for a moment after he finished speaking.

When the soul slayer around them heard Kamiya's words, they all paused obviously.

Onizuka didn't seem to react much, just resting her chin lightly on her knees, nodding slightly, and raising her hand to brush a few strands of sideburns stuck to her cheeks with fine sweat.

In the dim environment, I couldn't see her expression clearly.

Kamiyagawa gently stroked the little tapir in his arms with his hand, and continued to add unhurriedly: "Everyone, the current situation is that there are nearly 40,000 people trapped in the same dream. ”

"Are there so many?"

"Yes, because this dream is too large to be solved by ordinary means. So I used the power of the dream-eating tapir to sneak into the dream. Before I came, Ms. Nomoto had been outside to spy on the dream, and she said that she saw a special alienated dream man in the dream. That dream man is the core that connects the big dreams of ten thousand people, as long as he is retired, this big dream can be broken up......"

Kamiya roughly told the situation outside, as well as the battle plan and a few people in the car.

"Alienated dream man? Kamiya-kun, you can't be talking about the one that Mr. Funakoshi mentioned before, right? "One of the soul slayers suddenly realized and quickly answered.
