Chapter 440: An Answer

Leo also left the dream world and returned to this room.

He had apparently seen the two nightmares, and while wondering why they hadn't run away, he noticed an extra person in the room.

It was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, somewhat of a race from near the Mediterranean, with a pale complexion, a high nose, and a sense of tiredness that he could not wake up.

The two nightmares were very afraid of the person in front of them, they fell to their knees in a panic, and Hulek, who looked very arrogant, kept kowtowing and shouting in horror.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, master, please spare us!

We don't mean to break the rules you set. ”

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of some good excuse and shouted excitedly.

"We left the dream in search of you."

He excitedly made a leg with his knee and tried to step forward to hug Hypnos's leg, but Hypnos stepped on his face with his foot.

But even so, there was a flattering smile on Hurek's face, and Leo had never expected to show such an expression in the nightmare that had just looked so arrogant.

He couldn't help but look at the black-robed man, and he couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart.

Hua Lai's IQ on one side was obviously not so high, and he jumped directly and wanted to bite Hypnos, but he grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

Hurek's face changed, and then he squeezed out a smile and said, "You know, he wasn't created with much intelligence. ”

"You know, I created you." "Your existence, your consciousness, and your soul are all given by me, but in the end, you come to rebel against the rules I have created. ”

Hurek's face became paler, but he seemed to know that he could not escape, so he gritted his teeth and said.

"We just want to be free."

"Freedom?"

The word seemed to touch on His sore point, and it sent a look of anger to Hypnos's face.

The black imp who was choked by Hypnos on one side showed a painful look, and under the shocked eyes of the people around him, with the sound of "Peng", he directly turned into countless fine sand and scattered in place, as if he was directly pinched and exploded by this person.

Hypnos said coldly, "Is this the reason why you have taken away the freedom of others?" ”

"Master!" Hurek shouted in horror.

But Hypnos had already raised his hand to cover his face, "What I hate most is unruly things. ”

With the input of his divine power, the horror on Hurek's face gradually turned into pain.

Then, under the gaze of the people around him, this person's facial features began to gradually decompose, turning into black fine sand wandering around, and then began to spread towards his body, just like the black imp just now, he also directly turned into countless fine sand and disappeared in front of their eyes.

Seeing that these two nightmares were successfully erased by him, Hypnos breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, it was still a bit difficult to directly decompose these two nightmares in his current state, and if they resisted, it would be really difficult for him to deal with it.

But it was clear that his bravado and the deterrent power he had left in their hearts in the past had made them lose the will to resist the moment they saw themselves.

For a moment, the interior of this room was quiet, and no one had recovered from the scene just now.

However, the sound of the warbler made by the girl on the bed on one side attracted Baroque's attention, and he looked at the big bed, only to see that the girl was slowly opening her eyes, and her big watery eyes were full of confusion and doubt.

Seeing this, Baroque didn't have the heart to care about these people at all, so he walked quickly to the bedside and grabbed Maria's skinny palm.

"Lily, how are you now?" Baroque asked cautiously.

Maria looked at Baroque, who didn't seem to react yet, trying to identify the person next to the bed, and said with some uncertainty.

"Daddy?"

"Eh, it's me, it's me!" Hearing his daughter crying out to himself again, Baroque's eyes were suddenly soaked with tears, and his voice trembled a little, "Are you uncomfortable now?" ”

"I feel like I've had a long, long dream."

"My head hurts." Mary said weakly, "Thirsty and hungry"

"Right now, Daddy will get you water to drink right away." Baroque wiped his eyes, he turned his head to look at the maid who was stunned, "Quick! Please come over Dr. Sharon! ”

The maid reacted and quickly left the place.

And Baroque also collected his emotions a little, he knew that such a weak child was not suitable to feed too many things at once, and he didn't know whether it was okay to feed water, so he had to wait for the doctor to come.

While waiting, he quickly turned his head to look at Leo, and then excitedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand.

"Mr. Leo, you saved my daughter, I really don't know how to repay you." Baroque thought for a moment, then took a string of golden coins from one side of the wall and handed it to Leo.

Leo felt the weight of it as soon as he took over, there was no doubt that these gold coins were pure gold, and the weight was not small.

Looking at the pattern on it, it should be a coin specially used to ward off evil spirits, gold is often used by some people as a prop to ward off evil spirits, because some people believe that gold symbolizes the sun, and the purer the gold, the more effective.

In fact, gold is also used by many magicians as a material for magic props, and as a rare element that can only be born from supernovas, it has a good magic pass rate.

"That's your reward first." Baroque wiped away his tears and said, "When I'm in a good mood, I'll go to your office to thank you in person." ”。

Leo smiled, "That's enough. ”

Then he looked at Old Dirk, and then at Hypnos, who stood there silently.

"Let's go out and talk."

Hypnos nodded.

And the three of them left together.

Leo didn't use amnestics to erase the man's memory.

It's the practice of them as exorcists, it's not that they're violating the rules of the Magic Society, or rather, it's their right as an exorcist.

The social system of this era is not so powerful, and these bizarre stories of theirs will eventually only circulate in a small area, at most they will become some urban legends.

And people in this era generally only regard this kind of legend as an after-dinner conversation, and those who believe it believe it very much, and those who don't believe it don't believe it at all.

And those who are really in need can find them according to this legend, and they can save themselves from looking for demons.

As long as there is no particularly large disturbance, there is no problem in controlling the number of witnesses to this level of two or three people.

They left the house and walked on the path after the rain, the rain had completely stopped, but the night had completely covered the city.

The streets are silent, with very little traffic.

Leo looked at Hypnos, who was now facing away from them, and after a moment, he slowly turned his head and said.

"There's something on your body, it's mine."

Leo seemed to have something in mind.

"Is it a sandbag?"

Hypnos nodded.

Leo remembered his agreement with Merlin, and he knew in his heart that the friend Mr. Merlin was talking about should be the existence in front of him.

But even so, he still didn't give the sandbag out immediately, but frowned and asked.

"Those nightmares call you master, are you the legendary god of sleep, Hypnos?"

Hearing this, Old Dick looked at Leo with a little astonishment.

Although he had seen a lot of things in the wizarding world with Leo during this time, his heart still trembled a little when he really heard the word "god".

To be honest, Leo himself was a little unconvinced when he said this speculation, thinking that he should not be able to see a true god so easily.

However, in his cognition, the only person who could be called the master of those nightmares was perhaps the sleeping god.

Hypnos, on the other hand, nodded, "You're right. Can you give me the sandbag back? ”

Leo still didn't return the sandbag to him, but directly frowned and asked, "Why do you want to allow those nightmares of yours to harm the world?" ”

Old Dick's heart instantly rose to his throat with Leo's words, and he wanted to remind his friends that this existence in front of him was a real god, an absolute existence that they couldn't face at all.

But apparently, he was too late to say.

However, he was not surprised, as he knew it from the time Leo gave up his identity as a magician to participate in a battle that could be called a "meat grinder" as an ordinary person.

Leo has always been such a straightforward person, he can give up everything for what he insists on in his heart.

Hypnos stared at Leo silently, and after a moment he said, "Do you think I caused all this?" ”

"Isn't it?" Leo said, "You are their master, and they will naturally listen to you." Do you know how many people have died from this so-called "narcolepsy" in the past 100 years? And how many people have slept forever in the good years because of these out-of-control nightmares. ”

"Are you interrogating me?"

It seemed that it was the more than 100 years of captivity that had changed Hypnos's character, but at this moment he was not angry, but asked quietly.

However, old Dick, who had been silent on one side, felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.

"I just wanted an answer." Leo looked at Hypnos, unafraid of his gaze, "Seek an answer for those affected by this calamity." ”

Hypnos smiled, "You have a lot of courage, and no one has ever dared to ask me in such a tone, aren't you afraid of death?" ”

Leo was silent for a moment, he looked at Old Dick on the side, and then continued to say to Hypnos, "I only do what I think I have to do. ”

He looked at Hypnos, "You can put me into eternal sleep at any time, but I suppose you, as a god, don't you implicate innocents, do you?" ”

Hypnos stared at Leo silently, his eyes not changing, and after making sure that this was what he really thought, his brow furrowed slightly, and then sighed.

"I've been dealing with a few disgusting humans all these years, and you're the polar opposite of them."

He lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, "I can answer you, but you also have to answer me a question." ”

He looked up at Leo, "Where did you get this sandbag?" ”

"One man gave it to me." Leo said.

He thought for a moment, "He said, you are his friend, let me pass it on to you." ”

"Friends?" A strange look appeared on Hypnos's face, "Is this person you are talking about has white hair and likes to wear white magic robes?" ”

Leo nodded.

"Is that so," Hypnos's eyes flickered, "don't you want an answer, I think you may get a clearer answer if you go to him." ”

Leo frowned slightly, "What do you mean?" ”

"A large part of the reason why these nightmares are raging in this world is actually because of him." Hypnos said truthfully.

Leo's brow furrowed even deeper.

"You don't seem to believe it." Hypnos said.

"I think you can be clear." Leo said.

Hypnos took a deep breath, he didn't really want to say this, but since the human in front of him had seen that person, he couldn't do it.

But He also had to get sandbags.

So He continued, "He has imprisoned me for more than a hundred years, and it is because I am imprisoned that these nightmares have lost my control and have come to do evil. ”

Hearing this, both Leo and Old Dick were stunned, and Leo didn't react for a while.

But still ask, "He imprisoned you for more than a hundred years?" ”

Hypnos's face finally showed a hint of impatience, "I never disdain to lie. ”

"I didn't mean that." Leo couldn't help but explain.

After a pause, he said cautiously, "It's just. . . You are God. ”

"Even God is not omnipotent in this world." Hypnos whispered in a deep gaze.

He looked at Leo, "What is your image of that being?" (End of chapter)
