Chapter 524: The Real Intruder

Heidi looked dazed, followed by a look of horror!

Because she knew who the father of the "sea witch" was, this terrifying joke was not funny at all.

"I am a believer in the god of wisdom, Lachem, ma'am," she said hurriedly, as if she was afraid that the misunderstanding would be deepened too late, and that she would indeed establish some kind of secret connection with some terrible subspace shadow.

[I'm just an ordinary psychiatrist, you must be mistaken.] 】

Lucrecia only frowned slightly, her gaze calmly fell on the ordinary-looking amethyst pendant on the psychiatrist's chest, still faintly exuding a familiar aura, she might have been mistaken for something else, but her father's breath...

She even felt her father's gaze quietly watching her through the pendant!

[Where did you get this pendant from?] Lucrecia asked suddenly!

"This...... It was a gift from my father, who bought it from an antique shop." Heidi quickly explained, but didn't think much about it for a while, "It's not a special item, but it just happens to have a little spiritual protective effect."

"Antique shop?" Lucrecia was a little puzzled, "Your father is ..... again"

"Oh, this girl is Maurice. Underwood's daughter." At this time, Taranelle, who had not spoken much next to him, finally spoke, and he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, "Relax Lady Lucretia, this young lady is indeed a psychiatrist, she is helping me get out of here!"

Lucrecia, however, was hearing Taran. Al's words were confirmed for a moment, and then he looked at Heidi with a subtle expression on his face, "Maurice Underwood?"

"Yes.. Yes. Heidi nodded, "That's my father's name......"

Lucrecia's face was expressionless, but her mind remembered the last time she met the new crew of the Lost via the Crystal Ball, and recalled the venerable university scholar, her father's current intellectual advisor!

The world is so small!

The coldness in her eyes melted, sincerity regained in her smiling expression, and her gaze at Heidi softened: "Hello, Miss Heidi!"

"You

...... Hello"

Heidi was confused, and always felt that her life seemed to have gone through several ups and downs for a while, but she didn't know what was going on, so she could only nervously respond to the greeting of the witch in front of her.

"You...... Know my father?" And you know Master Taran Ayr too?"

"This world is smaller than you think," Lucrecia didn't answer the other party directly, just casually perfunctory

Then he looked at the elven scholar opposite, "From self-perception, you feel like you've been trapped in this dream for a long time?"

"Not sure, I'm having problems with my time perception right now, maybe a few days? It could be longer! ”

Lucrecia frowned, "Judging from the cognitive shift, it's already a bit dangerous.... I'm guessing you've tried all sorts of wake-up methods yourself, including the Fall Method?"

Taran El was in a hurry: "yes, the sudden death method is useless."

"If the regular subconscious awakening method doesn't work, and nothing else works, it's not a normal dream, it's not an alien curse or a mental attack." Lucrecia waved her hand, "I've checked your condition in the real world and set up a space in the lab to control mental contamination that can rule these out..... Miss Heidi, can you tell us about the information you have so far? ”

Heidi was stunned for a moment, but after two seconds, her consciousness reacted and quickly told the "witch" in front of her everything she knew.

Even from the moment she accepted the invitation to the city hall in Purand, she didn't dare to miss a single detail!

Lucrecia listened patiently to the other party's large list of information, and her expression changed several times!

"From a dream far away in Purland, into Taran. Al's Dream ...... The distance between the two city-states is not simple, and which dream entrance is now gone......."

The witch's face was solemn, and she said slowly, it seems that if the guidance is not smooth... Even you, the psychiatrist, are going to be stuck in this place!

[So do you two experts have a conclusion now?] As the only [

Patient", Taran Al is obvious

Quite calmly, he only asked with some curiosity at this time.

"What the hell is going on in this dream?"

Before I draw conclusions, I need to confirm one thing, and Lucrecia didn't answer directly, but asked with a serious face, "How did you fall asleep?" I found your draft on the tower, when it seemed like you were planning to send it to the academy via the "Express Mail", but you were attacked on the tower? Or did you see something while looking at the sun?"

Taran, El is stuck in the memories!

It was a long time before he said uncertainly, "I wasn't attacked..... I just remember seeing a lot of vague shadows and lines in the sun through the equipment on the tower, and I wanted to record them all, but those things were too chaotic and blurry... I can't see it clearly anyway, so I can only draw a rough sketch, and...

...”

His voice suddenly became extremely hesitant, and there was a thick confusion and confusion in his eyes, as if the more he recalled what he saw at the moment he fell into a deep sleep, the more he could not confirm his memory!

Finally, Taran and Al stopped, unable to recall the last second he had experienced before he fell asleep.

He slowly raised his head in confusion, his gaze swept over Heidi and Lucrecia in front of him, and then looked around, looking at this lush, incredibly dense forest!

He gradually stagnated, and at last there was no more movement or sound, not even the slightest movement of his breath and eyeballs was completely still, and the breeze blew through the forest, and could no longer blow the strands of his hair and the corners of his clothes!

Taran El has been transformed into a "sculpture" frozen in a dream!

And with his stillness, everything in the dream finally began to change, a strange and low roar echoed throughout the world, as if the infinite and huge things were slowly collapsing, those towering giant trees gradually lost their color, and began to refine from the canopy, and the lush plants all over the ground gradually weathered and dissipated, turning into flying smoke!

Heidi watched all this in amazement, and then suddenly turned to look at Lucrecia:

[Is this a veil?] Not a real dream?"

"Looks like you're doing well in school, Miss Heidi."

Lucrecia raised her eyebrows, "That's right, as I guessed, this is not a real dream, but just a protective curtain woven over it... What we see is not Taran. Al, but just

He is trying to protect his own makeshift mental entity, so we can't wake him up from here anyway, and the real dream is hidden in a deeper place!"

"Why is this happening?" Heidi was surprised.

"I... I have never seen such a real protective veil that obscures the dreams below..... I haven't seen it either, and Taran. Al is not an expert in the spiritual field, and although he has done some targeted training, it is theoretically impossible for him to weave such a perfect protection."

Lucretia shook her head, but one thing was certain, and the weaver of the veil was trying to hide what was deep in the dream.....

If this is really Taran. Al must have sensed great danger after falling asleep......

She stopped suddenly!

Because the "collapse" of the forest has gradually stopped?

Not only did it stop, but after a few seconds, the entire forest began to reverse, and the towering giant trees were regrouping one after another, and the dissipated colors quickly returned to the earth, and the "curtain" that was about to shatter began to regenerate at an alarming rate.

The admiration was reborn, and Heidi suddenly exclaimed!

Lucrecia looked at Taran in surprise for the first time. Al's mental entity, the latter, still stands in place like a sculpture, showing no sign of reactivation!

The protective veil of this dream was reborn, yet the veil

The weaver is not Taran. El is another force protecting the deep truth of this dream.

At this moment, Lucrecia suddenly realized two things, first, that there was at least a third dreamer in this dream besides the "elf girl" mentioned by Heidi and Master Taran El.

This dreamer is the real control escape from this "disguised dream" in front of him!

Second, the intruder is still nearby, and the source of the pollution is here

Village.

The protective curtain of the dream realm is spontaneously reorganized, it is because it perceives a great danger, it will suddenly reverse when it has begun to dissipate, and judging from the scale of the entire forest and its movement during the recombination, the source of this danger is definitely far beyond imagination!

Whether it's the Annihilation Cultists that Heidi expelled before, or Taran. None of the intruders that El had dealt with were the real cause of the closure of this dream.

As Lucrecia reacts, Heidi suddenly realizes the reason for the regeneration of the Veil.

"There's something in this dream, and the intruder is still there."

"Watch out for anomalies around you."

Lucrecia immediately alerted, and then began to search quickly for anything suspicious in her sight.

Feeling the flow of breath in the air, I want to find out where the "pollution source" that this layer of twilight is trying to resist is hidden!

The air, the sound of the flowers blowing through the forest, the sound of the water flowing in the distance, the sunlight shining through the canopy...

Everything is so real, everything is so natural, everything looks the same!

Which one is abnormal in this dream?

Wait a minute...

.. Sunlight?

There was a sudden shock in Lucretia's heart!

This forest is home to countless towering trees and countless luxuriant canopies, and the purpose of these canopies is to block the sun!

But even with so many canopies, the sun shines all over the forest, making every corner of the place extraordinarily bright!

"Sunshine is an intruder."

She reacted instantly, reminding Heidi loudly, and Heidi subconsciously raised her head and looked at the dream sky through the gap between the canopies!

Between the layers of tree canopies, there are gaps of all sizes, and between the gaps are the sky, the sun, and the sun that shines on dreams!

Huge, dark twisted tentacles twisted and intertwined, tangled into balls, interspersed with countless pairs of huge pale eyes, like terrifying freaks floating in the sky, coiled over the forest!

The bright sunlight is like a shell cast of light, covering the surface of this deformed thing clearly, quietly shining on the whole dream!
