When I woke up again, I found myself in a strange gray room.

At the same time, I was so tightly restrained by the immensely strong mechanism that I couldn't even turn my head. Although it is impossible to observe the whole thing due to the limited viewing angle, I feel that this mechanism should be similar in shape to a bed. The "bed" was made of some kind of silvery metal, and it was placed vertically on the floor, with a depression in the middle that was just right to fit into my body, and I was now fitted into it.

There were all kinds of research equipment around, and the dark scientist White Horse was standing not far away watching me. Seeing that I opened my eyes, he smiled victoriously, "Welcome to my lab." ”

I could see at a glance that this was the dawn of dreams.

It is not a dawn dream in a prophetic dream, but a real dawn dream; At the same time, my body is not a dream bubble, but a real body.

I was caught by the white horse!

How did he do it? My essence should be in the real world, even if I was caught by him in the prophetic dream, there should be no such thing as my body being caught by him in the real dawn dream.

No, I'm actually aware of the truth. When it comes to matters involving my own net worth and life, I always have the judgment that even I feel foul. The answer is most likely because I dreamed of the dawn dream.

As the name suggests, Dawn Dream is "dream"; And the moment I dream of the dawn of the dream, I feel like I've entered it.

Hakuma is a Manifestation Warlock, a Warlock who has the ability to exist entirely in the form of a spirit. In other words, like a real demon, he has a magical ability to cross subjectivity and objectivity, as well as dreams and reality. Now that my subjective consciousness has entered the dawn dream, he is able to forcibly pull my objective existence in the real world over as well.

It's no wonder that he made a point of using the backdoor of the prophetic dream to make me dream about the wrong future timeline. Because in the correct future timeline, he could not be in the dawn dream, and he had already fully retreated with his own army. But in order to stay in the Dawning Dream, he had to make sure that I knew that he hadn't left the Dawning Dream, so he cleverly devised that strategy.

I tried to break free from the mechanism that bound me, and I failed. I guess this mechanism itself has some special function, and I feel that my spirit body has been heavily sealed, and I can't squeeze out the slightest spiritual power.

And even the power of the true spirit cannot be driven at will under the premise that the spirit itself is greatly limited. The first time I used the Soul Burning Move, I was unable to mobilize the power of my true spirit due to damage to my spirit, and this time the predicament was similar to the last time.

"Why didn't you kill me?" I asked Hakukoma a question.

As I spoke, I also said silently in my heart, "Siren, are you still there?" ”

"I'm here." The sirens quickly replied to me in my mind, "The situation is not good, and the machinery that binds you is extremely strong in material and construction. According to my observations, if you want to free you from it, you must have the destructive power of a super-main warlock. ”

"Are you trying to break through the restraints? Save it, you can't get down from here without my permission, and I'm not going to free a dangerous guy like you. As he spoke, Hakuju took out a needle and walked over to draw blood from my body, "As for why I didn't kill you, didn't I say it in your prophetic dream?" You're an important test subject, and I'm curious about you. ”

Listening to his words and watching my own blood slowly enter the needle, I instinctively felt a strong uneasiness, and immediately asked the siren, "Can I use the 'Soul Burn Mode' now?" ”

Of course, I can't mobilize the power of the true spirit, but the sirens can, and last time I relied on this hand to defeat Naruyoshi without being able to use my power.

"No, your spirit is in a seal. While I can still find a way to give you power, you won't be able to enter 'Soul Burn Mode' in this situation, and you won't be able to destroy the restraint. And I can't break this seal, because it's not a seal that is achieved by complex technology, but this restraint device transmits an extremely large amount of spiritual power to seal you with brute force. The more simple and crude the method, the more you can't find a loophole that you can get into. The sirens quickly replied, "But I can first summon myself and then take on a human form, and find a way to help you out from the outside......"

"Don't do it." I stopped her.

Although the sirens also have the strength of the main force when they appear alone, they are far from enough to help me destroy the restraints, and it is absolutely impossible to fight against the white horse that is close in front of me.

And I felt like I was under impenetrable surveillance. While sealing me, this restraint device is monitoring the changes within my physical and spiritual bodies, as well as the space around me.

This feeling of being watched is exactly the same as the feeling of Hakukoma looking at me with his own eyes, and I have no doubt that the restraint device has a spell that is closely connected to Hakukoma's senses, and can convey all the most detailed information I have here to his consciousness without leaking. Therefore, even if he leaves the laboratory temporarily, the siren will be discovered as soon as he appears, and then he will be caught red-handed when he arrives after hearing the news.

So should I wait for the Security Service to come to the rescue? The problem is that I was supposed to be arrested at 1 p.m., and the Security Bureau's attack on Dawning Dream was at 6 p.m., because Dawning Dream was in the midst of more than 300 times the time acceleration, so there was at least sixty-two days in between. I don't even know if I'll be alive by then.

And even if I'm still alive, in the right future timeline, Hakukoma will definitely take me away while fully retreating, or kill me on the spot to get rid of the trouble.

It's all over – I can't help but think so.

But is there really no other way? I had to think with all my might. Although I don't mind dying myself, being squeezed out of value by Hakukoma like this is definitely not the way I want to die.

"The phenomenon of human beings temporarily showing the power of true spirits under the premise of suffering from extremely high concentrations of 'pollution' is actually not special in itself, but most of them will become indescribable monsters because they cannot withstand such a huge amount of 'pollution', and I have seen this kind of case many times in my past experiments. And although you have not been turned into like that by the ghost of the other world, it is possible that the ghost of the other world has specially retained your human appearance and sanity in order to turn you into a minion foraging for itself. So I'm interested in you at first, but I'm not going to mess with you — at least not for the time being. Bai Ju looked at the blood in the needle, "But as the outside world information about you came to me, I found that you are really an extremely abnormal case. The power of your true spirit is based on the support given to you by the ghost of the other world, but you can continue to exert your power even after being away from the ghost of the other world for so long, which can only mean that you can exert the power of the true spirit independently. How is this possible? In the past, you were obviously an ordinary person with no talent for warlocks, but how did you manage to use your own strength to guide the highest level of power in the hidden world? ”

"More than that......" he seemed to be talking to himself, saying a lot of things related to me, but his eyes didn't look at me at all, "this tube of blood is also, although it is your body tissue, but I don't feel your consciousness in it...... You're not an immortal? Where does the 'pollution' in your body go? ”

"What exactly is your purpose? What do you want to get out of me? I asked.

He seemed to be influenced by my thinking, and looked at me with a frown, "You're just my test subject, don't ask questions there." If you disturb my thinking any longer, I'll give you some bitterness. I remember that you can regenerate in high speed, and having such a tenacious vitality in a situation where life and death are controlled by others will only make you fall into a more miserable situation. ”

"This kind of intimidation doesn't work for me. I didn't think I'd be treated well after becoming a prisoner. "I'm not going to be soft on him.

"It seems that I need to make you understand where you stand. Although this restraint device does not have the function of killing, it can access your nerves from the outside, increasing the sensitivity of pain countless times, and bringing you endless pain......" Bai Ju took out a remote control with a blank face and aimed it at my restraint device, as if he wanted to do something.

But he stopped suddenly, looked into my eyes again, and put the remote in his pocket, "Your eyes are no different from those of some terminally ill demon warlock...... In this way, I have read a lot of information about you before, and I have also asked my subordinates who are good at psychological analysis to analyze you the night before. You go to the most dangerous battlefield several times, fighting the most dangerous enemies, as if you are in a hurry to die. Are you trying to atone for your past? Or what punishment do you want? ”

"You don't want to die all the time, thinking that it is your punishment, and you want to escape from all the pain in that way. It's ridiculous that you're just trying to escape the real punishment. He continued, as if intent on striking my mental will with words, "and not only will you not be able to die easily, but you will spend the rest of your life as my test subject, and this is your fate." I have to thank you again for knowing the exact timing of the NSA attack, so that some important projects that had to be aborted in the original plan may be completed in the last minute. Thank you so much. ”

"Speaking of which, you're still planning to run away, are you so scared of the Security Bureau?" I asked rhetorically.

"It's a childish agitation. Enough, if you can say something wise, it's not that I can't communicate with you, but a stupid person like you, who indulges in the mimicry of otherworldly ghosts in the middle of school, and who is full of boring desires to vent violence everywhere, will definitely not be able to spit out any ivory. He turned and walked to the bench, picked up a syringe, and walked over to me, "Just be your guinea pig and accept my research without knowing anything." ”

I ignored his words and asked directly the biggest question in my mind, "How did 'it' come back to life in the past?" ”

“…… What? He stopped suddenly, "What are you talking about resurrection?" ”

"Even though 'it's' body is dead, and even one hand remains, there's still a way to bring 'it' back to life, isn't it?" I stared at him intently, and I didn't say it casually, I did have some evidence.

"I don't know if you've misunderstood anything, dead things can't be resurrected." He said expressionlessly, "Or do you really remember your experience of having sex with ghosts from another world, or do you really fall in love with that kind of thing, so you say that kind of foolish dreaming thing?" ”

"Whether it's a fool's dream or not, you should know best." I say.

In the missionary's memory, the missionary once asked if he could resurrect "it", and Hakukoma replied in the negative. However, the missionary may have been shocked by the existence of the otherworldly ghost and did not realize the problem, but I caught the contradiction in Hakukoma's words.

Hakuma said that "it" traveled to the earth of this universe with a serious injury to the point of dying, and then went through a long drift in the ocean before finally running aground on the shore and was discovered by him.

Although I don't know how long the wandering was, in the process, "it" obviously had enough time to see all kinds of sea creatures, even sea monsters. And even if it imitates all those life forms, "it" probably still hasn't found any form that can repair its physical injuries, so "it" stranded on the shore will be full of devastation.

And rightfully so. If you want to heal the wound, you must at least eat well, which is the proper meaning of living things. Although the ghost of the other world can ignore that limitation, "it" is given a physical body, that is, it is given a limit, or the existence of the physical body makes "it" think that it has a limit, and then imitates the behavior of a living being.

And "its" has always had only one kind of food, and that is human.

In the boundless ocean, where does "it" go to find human beings for its own consumption?

If you can't eat, no matter how special the dying body is, it will inevitably fail and eventually die.

Hakukoma once described to Lieku the scene of his first encounter with "it", and Lieku relayed it to me - when Hakukoma first saw "it", "it" ran motionless on the shore, so that a warlock as keen as Hakukoma briefly mistook it for a dead thing like a stranded ship.

Dead creatures, of course, are motionless.

However, when Lieque first saw "it" in Hakukony's laboratory, "it" had already come to life.

This shows that "it" has the ability to resurrect its own physical body - no, if it is still based on the premise that "it" will imitate living things as much as possible, then even if it has the ability to resurrect itself, "it" should not be able to resurrect itself.

Furthermore, for "it", which is a ghost from another world, the flesh is only a shackle to itself, and it is better to let it corrupt and decompose; What's more, "it" is still a monster with an instinct to spread death, and it's hard to imagine that "it" would do something to resurrect something.

Therefore, after I explained my reasoning to Hakukoma, I naturally came to the next conjecture.

"You brought 'it' back to life." I said, "In your hands there is a way to resurrect 'it.'" ”
