The two law enforcement warlocks both showed solemn eyes that were ready to sacrifice, and they bowed their heads and turned their heads to signal the medical doctor to begin. The medical examiner took out two sigils from his bosom and handed them to the two of them, then said, "Just press on the sleeper." ”

The two of them pressed the sigil on my father's body. The medical examiner walked up behind the two and pressed their backs. In just a few seconds, the two of them were paralyzed and lying on the edge of the hospital bed, as if they had completely fallen asleep—the collective dreams of the sleepers.

However, the medical examiner frowned and examined the two of them slightly. I realized that something seemed to have gone wrong, and Lie immediately asked, "How's it going?" ”

"They ......," said the medical examiner, disappointed, "they're just asleep." ”

I could hear what he meant, "Just asleep, but not dreaming?" Didn't make it into the collective dream? ”

"Nope!" The medical examiner became irritable, walked back and forth, and finally showed an extremely depressed color on his face, "I knew it couldn't be that simple, even if I mastered the method...... That's a fanatic! With the technical level of our Liucheng Security Bureau, how could it be possible to attack the dream created by the fanatics? ”

The reputation of fanatics in the hidden world seems to be more deeply rooted than I imagined.

"Cheer me up!" Lie Que scolded, but didn't immediately ask if there was any other way, but looked at the two law enforcement warlocks lying on the side of the bed, "Are they okay?" If the hack fails, is their spirit wounded? ”

The medical examiner said as if he had been drained of his strength: "They are fine, they were just rejected by the dream, and they will wake up soon." ”

Qiao Licorice asked beside him, "If you can't send two people into it at the same time through the flaws in the collective dream, then is it okay to send only one?" ”

"Not alone." "Or rather, I was just going to send one person in, and the other person was going to be 'pulled' in by the person who went in first." ”

"Pull the ......," I read.

"Yes. If it's a physical door, then two people can grab each other's hands. But this time, we need to enter the spiritual door, and what we need is a relationship of trust between each other. "When you're in a crisis, if you want someone to be there to save you, or to fight alongside you, then that person can be pulled into a dream." ”

"And the problem now is that even the people who should go in first can't get in?" I asked.

"Yes, the flaws left by the collective dream are still too small for us to enter." The medical examiner said in a low mood, "In order to meet the conditions for entry, the person in charge of going in first must have a certain degree of dream power. Based on the attempt just now, I can sort of figure out something, and now it is impossible for these two people to enter. If someone wants to enter the collective dream realm, they are either naturally very suitable for entering the dream realm, or they have an extremely powerful dream power, so strong that even the main powerhouse can influence and interfere. But where the hell are you going to find that kind of person......"

At this, his face froze suddenly, and his gaze moved in a certain direction extremely stiffly and slowly. I suddenly realized a possibility, and everyone else reacted and looked at someone present.

The only person present who didn't move was Joan, because he was the one being watched.

Joan hadn't said a word since just now, like a transparent person. He is not suitable to speak on such an occasion because of his position and age, and although he is by my side, he is actually an outsider. However, at this moment, he has become the most eye-catching focus here.

Naturally suitable for entering dreams, powerful dream power.

According to the medical examiner, to enter the collective dream, you only need one of the two, and Joan has both.

Now Joan is a succubus, and a succubus is a demon who is good at entering male dreams to absorb essence; And the gray gray who fused with him was a woman who almost trapped me in a charming dream with the power of dreams, even if Qiao An himself couldn't use it consciously, but he did have the extremely powerful dream power that "even the main powerhouse can influence and interfere"!

But to let JoAnn venture into a collective dream? After all, Joan is not even a member of the Security Bureau, not only a civilian who has nothing to do with the work of the Security Bureau, but also a child. However, at the moment, it seems that the only way to convince him to take the risk is to go. This situation reminded me of the anime I watched a long time ago in which the battle to save the world was left to the children, and I never expected this kind of "plot" to play out in reality, and I felt a sense of surprise in my heart that magic and reality were combined.

"Wait! Are you planning to let JoAnn into that dream? Qiao Licorice couldn't be silent, although she was saying to the medical examiner, her eyes quickly shifted to Lieque's face. Because Lie is the one who is really responsible for making decisions.

Lieq slowly closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Joan.

"Joe Licorice's younger brother...... JoAnn is it? At this moment, his face turned out to be unfamiliar.

Perhaps, this is not the first time he has shown such a face. The moment I said before that I wanted to access demonic knowledge in order to break through the "door control" on the eve before, a similar color flashed on his face.

And in the past, when he realized that Hakukoma had fallen in the process of studying monsters, and when he saw his son being brainwashed by demons in the past, he may have made the final decision with a similar expression.

He went on to say, "Are you willing to take part in this adventure in order to save people? ”

"Teacher......" Bluebird sighed.

Before Qiao An could speak, Qiao Licorice made a decision for his younger brother first, "Of course not!" ”

"That...... I don't know exactly what's going on yet......" Joan whispered.

"I'll explain it to you." Qiao Licorice led him into the corner to speak, but Lie Que did not stop him, just watched the scene silently.

A moment later, Joe Licorice led Joan back with him. She gestured to Qiao Ann with her eyes, but Qiao An couldn't help but say, "Sister, I think it's still ......"

"Don't talk yet." Qiao Licorice sighed and knocked on the top of his brother's head, touched it in distress, and then said to Lieque, "Qiao Ann is not a warlock of the Security Bureau, and has neither the obligation nor the strength to fight. And he is still young, so he can't bypass his parents for such a dangerous thing, otherwise it can't be justified in theory. ”

"Of course, as long as he agrees, I will try to persuade his parents to explain to them the stakes and the benefits for their family, and especially for Joan herself." Lieqi seems to have put together multiple plans in his mind.

Qiao Licorice was not to be outdone even in the face of the column shortage at this time, "The order is reversed!" It should be to get the consent of his parents first, and then persuade Joan! ”

"Of course I'm going to do that." Lie said without changing his face, "You should also know very well how many lives we are carrying in the battle. ”

"Then the child should not be sacrificed either." Joe Licorice said.

"No one has said that he will die in this operation." Column said.

"But you're ready for that, aren't you?" Joe Licorice asked rhetorically.

"As mentioned before, dreams themselves are not life-threatening. If there is damage in other areas, we will do whatever it takes to remedy it. "At the same time, there will be enough reliable fighters by his side to escort him." ”

He looked at Jo Ann, "Are you willing to believe Li Duo?" ”

Jo Ann turned her head to look at me and nodded without hesitation.

Under Qiao Licorice's arguments, Lieku summoned the warlocks of the analysis department for a two-hour meeting to try to see if they could find a breakthrough other than allowing Joan to take risks.

The medical examiner remained in the nursing room to continue analyzing the flaws in the collective dream, while the previous two law enforcement warlocks woke up, left the dream sigil and the amulet against blood spells in the nursing room, and returned to their posts.

"Fanatics can't wait for us to attack all the time." Before we left, the medical doctor said uneasily, "He won't stay still like a stump, he must hurry." ”

Qiao Licorice also joined the meeting, and Bluebird and I were also qualified to observe. Especially me, in the plan that is missing, I want to follow Joan into the collective dream.

The analyses and arguments were full of jargon and data that I didn't understand at all, and the only thing I could understand was that "there was still no clue about the other direction". It even seems that because there is already a ready-made method, some of the warlocks in charge of analysis are trying to convince Qiao Licorice.

As for me, to be honest, I don't want to force Joan into danger in order to save my father and the others. If you want to ask me if I want to save it, I naturally want to save it, so I worked so hard before. Even if I had to risk my life to save it, I didn't hesitate. But that's not the same thing as forcing Joan to take the risk. Maybe it's because my feelings for my father are too conflicted, and if it's a blue bird lying on the white bed, I'll be straightforward and unscrupulous.

I must admit that if you reach the end of your rope and you can solve the problem by simply ordering your child to take risks, then you should give the order coldly. I think that's right. With the lives of thousands or more on the one hand, and the safety of a child on the other, it is clear which side is more important.

But on the other hand, since we have not reached the end of the road, it is not the turn of the child to take risks, and adults should not show weakness in front of the child so early.

What do you think? He must have wanted everything I wanted, but when he showed that countenance, I sensed that he seemed to be used to weighing things on both sides of the scale. Perhaps his life experience has given him so much wisdom that my previous thoughts seem naïve and idealistic; Maybe it's the right time to let Joan take the risk, and it's really too late to wait until the end of the road; Maybe the fanatic believers temporarily changed their minds, and felt that it would be good to sacrifice thousands of people first, so they killed all the thousands of people now...... However, so many "maybe" without a beginning or end will only disrupt my normal thinking. It's better to reset your thinking first and grasp the ideas that you can be sure of.

First of all, I am not a decision-maker of the Security Service, and the concept of living in the world can only be used to convince myself, not my own people.

If I really want to reject the plan that is lacking, what I want to talk about should not be a pragmatic concept of life, but a pragmatic and better plan.

But unfortunately, I don't have the professional quality to come up with a better plan, so as an executor, I should honestly shut up and listen carefully to the existing plan.

One cannot expect a satisfactory solution to a problem.

Jo Licorice was so fond of telling me jokes, but she was actually a stalwarp with a determined mind, and I had seen her look in her conscious eyes that would go into danger in order to pursue the warlock criminals. At the last moment, she is likely to succumb to the cold reality and in turn drip blood in her heart to do ideological work for Joan.

However, I don't want Joe Licorice to do such a painful thing, so I'll do it then. Even if it makes Joan think that I am an adult who is sanctimonious and shamelessly shoots at the child, I admit it.

In the second half of the meeting, there was still no progress. I left the table for a while and went to the lounge to check on Joan's situation.

Originally, Qiao An should also have the qualification to be an observer, but just being there was easy to interfere with the judgment of the other participants, so he could only stay here. Although his charm power has been suppressed by the amulet, this suppression has limited effect on some warlocks with high awareness.

High awareness is not always a good thing, even if Qiao An uses the talisman to suppress the power of charm, some warlocks with high awareness are still easy to inexplicably receive "charm waves" from Qiao An's body, and may even be seduced by it.

Charm is very different from other kinds of mental manipulation, which are often unpleasant experiences, so that if the person himself is aware of it, he will come out of it on his own; Charm is happy, and it often happens that even if the person is aware of being seduced, he will be willing to fall into it and be intoxicated, and he is not willing to return to freedom.

Joan sat on the couch, looking down at the disc prop in her hand, her wings and tail wagging unconsciously, not knowing what she was thinking. I slowly walked up behind him and tried to pat him on the shoulder, but his swaying tail swept over inadvertently, and the droplet-shaped end of the tail slapped gently against the palm of my hand.

Before I could react, he screamed in panic, and the disc prop was out of his hand, almost falling to the ground, and he tossed and turned in the air several times before he finally caught it.

He cherished the disc prop in his arms and looked back nervously. When he saw that it was me, he was completely relaxed.

"Is the meeting over?" He asked curiously.

"Not yet." I watched his expression intently and asked, "You don't seem to be very resistant to taking risks?" ”
