365 Behold, the stars are so bright
Led by Mr. Funakoshi, the soul slayers who were trapped in the dream realm also paid attention to the alienated dream man!
Now it's easy to do.
Pawn in one place is the right choice.
Kamiya looked expectantly at Mr. Funakoshi, who was sitting in the corner.
Mr. Soul Eliminator, who looked quite kind, held the tambourine in one hand, muttered for a while, and nodded: "That alienated dream man was born next to me, and it is the image of my late wife. ”
"I'm similar to everyone else, not long after I fell asleep, I started to attack the dream man next to me. But that dream man, after being defeated by me, did not dissipate immediately, but began to gather strength and become stronger......"
Mr. Funakoshi's voice was soft and tired.
Kamiya roughly understood that the dream man beside Mr. Soul Killer was indeed unusual, and this was the second stage that he had entered.
It should be an alienated individual.
As for why the dream man next to Mr. Funakoshi is an alien, it may just be a matter of pure probability.
It may also be because Funakoshi is very special in his own right, after all, he is currently the only one who can mobilize spiritual power in the dream realm and is a professional counterpart of the soul slayer.
Funakoshi: "After getting stronger, the dream man's appearance is even more terrifying. Dream men in suits and ties kept popping up around him. I couldn't cope with it and ran away, and then I ran into other people. ”
"Where is that alienation?" Kamiya asked.
"Toshima Ward. Hidden in the underground parking lot of a shopping mall there, there are four floors there, and I can't be sure exactly which floor the alienated dream man is. It's now completely turned into Dream Man's lair, and it's hard to get any closer. ”
"Underground, ......"
Kamiyagawa was a little difficult.
The area pulled by the [Cloud Outer Mirror] has a certain range, and according to his judgment, it is impossible to directly pull the space from the ground to the third underground floor.
In this way, it is necessary to ensure that the alienated dream man must be within the scope of the cloud outer mirror, and he must go deep into the underground of the shopping mall in Toshima District.
Everyone in the carriage began to discuss it quite actively because they all knew the plan of Kamiya's trip.
It looks like everyone intends to assist Kamiyagawa in the operation.
They were originally professional soul slayers, and it was almost natural for them to participate in the Retreat Strange Tale Operation.
And everyone knows that the success of Kamiyagawa's actions is related to whether they can successfully get out of the dream.
Soul slayers don't want to be trapped in their dreams.
"The key to the success of the plan to shatter the dreams of 10,000 people lies in whether Kamiya-kun can get closer to the alienated dream man. And there are too many dream men in that mall......"
"Let's do it, let's go and create chaos and attract the dream boys out, and Kamiya-kun and Mr. Funakoshi take the opportunity to dive underground." The spirit slayer was resolute, "Although we can't use our usual abilities, we have just seized a certain amount of firearms and ammunition from those dream men. ”
"Maybe it's still too reluctant." Mr. Funakoshi sighed and shook his head.
Among the soul slayer present, there is no shortage of good players like Onizuka Kirita, if they act in reality, it is still not possible to rely on these dozen or so people to create a riot and create a sneak opportunity for Kamiya and Funakoshi.
However, without the ability to use their own magic abilities, it is almost impossible to achieve this with a few pistols.
"So, Kamiya-kun and Funakoshi-san are going to act separately?" It was proposed.
In the temporary squad of Dream Realm, the main combat power is Naoto Funakoshi and the Dream Eater Tapir under Kamiya.
One side cooperates with other soul slayers to create a riot and attract a large number of dream men, and the other side sneaks into the underground of the mall, so it is more reasonable to distribute the main personnel.
"There's no better way, and that's the way it can be." Mr. Funakoshi nodded.
Because the dream of 10,000 people is too real and grandiose, the little tapir is restricted by the contract in this big dream, and he can't be too far away from his owner, so he has to bind his activities with the Kamiya River.
And the [Cloud Mirror] is brought into the dream realm by the Dream Eater's [Dream Acceptance] skill, and is maintained by the power of the little tapir, so it can't get too far away from it.
The props and combat power on Kamiyagawa's side are linked one by one and cannot be separated.
"So who stays on the surface and who goes underground?"
Kamiya: "I'll go underground, as long as I get close to the alienated dream man, I can directly pull him to reality." ”
In this regard, Mr. Funakoshi slightly objected: "When I escaped from the mall, I felt that the alienated dream man was hiding underground, and he was reluctant to show up to anyone other than me. It may take a lot of effort for Kamiya-kun to find him on the fourth floor underground. ”
"Dream maleization formed my dead wife, and he has a certain obsession with me, and if I go down, I can find him faster."
"He's waiting for me......"
"As long as I can see that dream man...... I wasn't sure I could defeat him in my dreams, but I was sure I could lead him to the ground. ”
The reasons and considerations on both sides are justified.
Kamiya discussed with the group of soul slayers for a while, and finally decided that Mr. Funakoshi would take the two of them to dive underground. The rest of the people, along with Kamiyagawa, create a riot on the ground and attract those "dream men in black".
Mr. Funakoshi said with a serious face that he was sure.
Kamiya decided to believe him.
In this situation, you really have to trust your teammates a little more to get things done.
What's more, the shopping mall is the lair of the dream man, and many ownerless dream men gather together, and the converging breath may interfere with the judgment of the little tapir.
Like just now, the little tapir wanted to find an alienated dream man, but what he found was a large group of ownerless dream men in the unfinished building.
Mr. Funakoshi's efficiency in attracting the alienated dream man may really be faster and more secure than Kamiyagawa's ability to take the Dream Eater Tapir and the [Cloud Outer Mirror] to the ground on the fourth floor.
……
That night in the dream.
Except for the trucks that the spirits drove to park at an unmanned gas station on the outskirts of Setagaya Ward.
They plan to carry out their plan to retreat and alienate Dream Man tomorrow after resting and recuperating.
Inside a gas station.
The crowd took turns to disperse the vigil, while the rest rested in twos and threes.
Kamiya and Onizuka sat on the side of the van to rest together, and they looked up to see the stars shining in the night sky.
I can't say why, the other soul slayers have tacitly left a certain amount of private space for the two young people.
The two chatted about whether they had a ride or not.
Kamiya: "I didn't expect Mr. Funakoshi to have such a past. ”
Onizuka: "Well, the soul killer always has to face life and death. ”
In the afternoon, in the wagon, Funakoshi gave a general account of his late wife.
His wife died ten years ago, and the cause of death was a strange incident.
At that time, Naoto Funakoshi was still a newcomer who had just joined the countermeasures room. When his wife was victimized, he was attending a training camp in the countermeasures room.
The loss of his lover and the sadness of "the healer does not heal himself" are the source of Funakoshi's guilt for his deceased wife.
This guilt has been felt for decades.
It's no wonder that he was trapped in Dream Man's dream.
"Onizuka, what about you?" Kamiya thought for a moment and asked carefully, "What are you for?" ”
"My ......words," the little witch whispered slightly, then exhaled softly, looking up at the starry sky in her dream, "It's because my mom and dad—"
"My parents are also soul slayers, and they used to be a couple. Seventeen years ago, my dad died in a weird retreat...... At that time, my mother did not act with him. When I was a child, I heard someone say that if my mother could accompany my father on that mission, with their tacit understanding, nothing would have happened. ”
"Seventeen years ago?"
Kamiya realized something.
"yes, seventeen years ago. Mom didn't go on the mission with Dad because she was pregnant and pregnant with me. ”
“…… It's not your fault. ”
"I know." Onizuka relaxed his tone slightly, trying to remain as calm as possible:
"Because of my father's sacrifice, my mother gave birth to me and had a serious illness. When I was five years old, my mother also passed away due to illness. I was taken to Juqiong Shrine and brought up by my mother-in-law. In fact, when I was a child, I didn't have much concept of a father, because I was born without a father. And because my mother died early, my impression of my mother is also very vague. But occasionally I wonder if my parents would be doing well without me. ”
Kamiyagawa: ......
Kamiya didn't know how to comfort Onizuka, so he could only move closer to the other party and raise his hand to gently pat her on the shoulder.
The little witch moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something more, but in the end she didn't say anything.
She stared at the night sky for a while, but changed the topic, raised her hand and said, "Kamiya, look, the stars are so bright." ”
"Well, it's bright." Kamiya also raised his head.
"Interesting, right? The two of us actually looked at the stars in the same dream, and not many of us can have such an opportunity. The stars in the dream seem to be more beautiful than the reality. ”
"yes."
The two sat in silence for a while.
The truck behind them kept starting, the engine humming, and the lights gleaming the wasteland ahead.
Onizuka suddenly tilted his head slightly and pressed against Kamiya's shoulder: "Lean for a while, is it okay?" ”
"Hmm."
"I know, it's not my fault." After sitting like this for a while, the little witch muttered in a low voice, and her words were slurred, "But sometimes, I just can...... It's sad. ”
"Onizuka ......"
Kamiyagawa was really speechless.
Finally, he silently raised his hand and gently hugged the onizuka.
"Hmm."
The little witch didn't resist.
Kamiyagawa could feel her hair caressing her cheeks, tickling a little. I could feel her hot body temperature, and I could feel her body trembling slightly.
"Kamiya, I've always been sad."
The starry sky in the dream is silent and bright.
Nothing was said all night.
……
The next day, Toshima Ward.
Four o'clock in the morning.
The soul slayers, who had taken a round of rest, were ready to attack the alienated dream man and came to the vicinity of the target mall.
They deliberately chose the time slot in the early hours of the morning.
At this point, there are no pedestrians to be seen on the streets of the dream.
But occasionally, there will be a few people who move around the streets with dream men in different costumes.
Those who had fallen in the dream realm didn't react when they saw Kamiya and his party.
But the dream man next to them stared at everyone strangely.
Funakoshi: "It's getting closer and closer." I'm about to lose the breath of our group, and I'd do it sooner rather than later. ”
Everyone who was already ready for battle nodded.
After briefly confirming their respective tasks near the mall, Mr. Funakoshi left with the two soul slayers.
After only seven or eight minutes, Kamiya and the others, who remained on the ground and spread out slightly, saw the "ownerless" dream man wearing a suit and tie appear.
Bang!
I don't know which side fired the shot first.
The gunshots frightened a few scattered passers-by on the street, scattering like birds and beasts, but the dream man beside them unusually did not leave together, and the pestle remained in place.
The soul slayers each found shelter, and the dense gunfire made a mess.
"Fire!"
"Give these disgusting things a little color!"
"Avenge Ishikawa and Hehe!"
As soon as the battle began, more black-clothed dream men with the same appearance and dress poured out of the large comprehensive shopping mall, and the black pressure was like a tide.
Kamiyagawa's Dream Eater Tapir is the main force in ground combat.
At this time, his true body was revealed, and he rushed towards the gathering place of the dream man with a red light.
The blurry red light burst out and exploded into pillars of light threads, piercing and shattering the dream man around him, scattering into shadow fragments.
"Poof!"
The little tapir continued to run, changing its position, and at this time it didn't even care about eating, but just controlled the red light of the dream as much as possible to deal with more dream men.
Kamiya stayed with Onizuka and watched the situation on the battlefield while firing guns.
This shopping mall has indeed become the nest of these dream men, as Mr. Funakoshi said, and the number of dream men is difficult to count, and they are still rushing out.
But such a seduction will rush out in groups, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
Mr. Funakoshi's actions on their side may be able to move forward.
"Retreat!"
The well-trained soul slayers fought and retreated.
As the nemesis of dream monsters, the Dream Eater Tapir became more and more courageous, and restrained the vast majority of dream men.
The purpose of Kamiya and the others is to attract as many dream men as possible out of the mall, and give Mr. Funakoshi the opportunity to dive underground and find an alienated dream man.
The soul slayer who is more experienced on the battlefield, everyone knows what to do, and there is no love for war. Supporting each other, cooperating with the brave and difficult Dream Eater Tapir, they continue to create and expand riots.
……
Inside the mall.
Funakoshi seems to be familiar with the terrain.
Seize the opportunity of a large number of dream men flocking to the northwest exit of the Kamiya River. Mr. Funakoshi and two soul scavengers broke open the window of a restaurant that had not yet opened, and quickly entered the mall through the back kitchen corridor.
"Onizuka Miko and Kamiya-kun are already moving, we have to hurry."
The three of them didn't take the elevator, and rushed directly into the staircase passage towards the underground parking lot.
There were also a certain number of Dream Men in the stairwell, but they were quickly dealt with with with the pistol support of the two Soul Rembudsman and the constant beating of Mr. Funakoshi's tambourine.
The alienated dream man in the mall belongs to Funakoshi, and there seems to be some strange connection between them.
After running down the stairwell for a while, Mr. Funakoshi sensed something.
This Mr. Soul Exterminator, who is always feminine and gentle, is rarely in a high-pitched mood, and his expression is hideous: "Go this way!" That thing is hiding downstairs on the third floor, I feel it! ”
