Chapter 39: The Dream World
"Eat enough, eat enough!"
Sonia, who had finished her supper, patted her stomach contentedly.
Melina indulged in the satisfaction of her appetite.
Maria looked at the two guys who got up late at night to eat supper with a headache, rubbed her temples, exhaled, and snorted.
"You two will go back to sleep as soon as you are full, there is still a lot of work to do tomorrow."
"I know~ Lao Ma!" Sonia's elongated voice became a little shrill and a little sweet.
Then she waved her hand at Melina:
"Good night, Xiaomei, have a good dream!"
"Well, good night, senior sister, and I wish you a good dream."
Back in the room, Melina turned and closed the curtains, feeling something like she was calling for sleep.
"I'm not going to lose."
She looked at the table in her private room, which contained the occult books and periodicals she had taken out of her luggage, as well as the Star Weekly, which her sister had subscribed to through a special channel, a miscellaneous magazine that recorded recent developments in the occult world. Clenching her fists, she desperately tried to expel her sleepiness.
The corners of her mouth hooked, and she smiled coldly:
"Hmph, it's just sleep."
She paused, a hint of displeasure flashing in her golden pupils:
"Let's make a note of it today, truce!"
Surrendered.
Reduced to a drowsy captive, Mei Mei quickly climbed into bed, covered with a small quilt, and fell asleep.
…
When she opened her eyes, she found herself waking up from a meadow, the sun shining brightly in the sky.
"Senior sister?"
She let out a disturbed cry and sat up, only to find herself wearing the black gauze skirt, but her limbs felt like they were wrapped in armor.
The world in front of you is an endless sea.
This is not Hamlet, nor is it the Weeping Peninsula.
She was inexplicably so sure in her heart, so determined that even she was startled.
Anyway, look around?
She stood up.
Boom –
There is something in the left foot.
She lowered her head and saw a thin black chain tied around her ankle, which was obviously very conspicuous, but she didn't even notice it just now? Looking along the chain, in front of the extension of the grass, there is a dividing line made of stone bricks, and behind the dividing line, there is a comfortable and soft grass that is exactly the same as your side. Connected to the chains was a woman in the meadow.
Her black hair and black eyes make people feel more cordial, and her temperament is quiet and dignified.
She's not human.
Melina was sure of this again, and saw the shape of the other person's mouth, "What a trouble. ”
Clanging - The chain rings.
The next moment, she was almost face to face with her.
The sharp pain in her left leg made Melina realize that she was being dragged hard by the other party?
Such a distance?
This kind of strength?
She doesn't have extra thinking to think more, and she has to beat people when she is beaten, which is what she has been taught since she was a child. Melina clenched her fists and slammed them into the face with a swift blow she couldn't have imagined. And knocked her out, the speed breaking the sound.
What's going on?
Body... So light?
Melina could hardly believe that it was her own strength and her own strength. She could clearly feel her fist break through some kind of sturdy object before it touched the brunette's face, and finally struck the other man's face, sending it flying like lightning with the force of the impact.
See... So clear.
Melina found that her strength captured every moment of the other party's expression, and even this lightning-fast speed slowed down like a pause in time.
The look of surprise on the brunette's distorted face was evident in the shock of Melina's reaction.
But the expression without pain in those big deep black eyes made Melina feel bad for a moment.
Boom –
The other party adjusted his posture in the air, grabbed the chain on her right foot with his right hand, and pulled it violently.
Melina's perception of the time around her seemed to be slowing up suddenly, and her face made intimate contact with the opponent's fist.
A punch!
Melina felt like a punch that would blow her head out.
But surprisingly, it was as if I had been knocked on the head hard, and it hurt a little, but there was no other reaction. This allows her to readjust her stance in the air, just like the other person.
Never get tired.
Never ache.
They were like two supermen throwing their fists out their anger on each other's bodies and faces, and when they hit the ground, they let out a terrifying beast-like roar at each other to increase their momentum. Eventually, this act of becoming a beast is tiresome.
The two of them gave up the act of fighting for life and death at the same time, and without gasping, they were at both ends of the border, slowly moving left and right, pulling the black chains that linked the two.
After relieving herself, Melina felt the pain in her left leg and the injuries on her body slowly accumulating and exploding.
But looking at the other party's expression, it's probably about the same.
"Who are you?"
The two said in unison.
The brunette bared her teeth fiercely and glared at her menacingly. Not to be outdone, Melina glared back, but the other party... With a height of more than 1.8 meters, she fell into an absolute disadvantage in height. This made her momentum weaken a little, she made a grunt in her throat, and after thinking about it, she reported a fake name:
"Dorothy."
The kana comes from the Wizard of Oz.
Her extraordinary powers of observation made her notice that the corners of the woman's mouth twitched with a smile.
This woman is also a traverser?
"Then my name is Alice."
The woman smiled aggressively, "Dorothy, how did you get to my dream?" ”
"Your dream?" Melina complained, "This is my dream! ”
"Heh, what a character, huh?" The woman who called herself Alice raised her chin, snorted haughtily, and then squinted her eyes, her left and right hands were like female villains in Disney animation, with rich body language, her left hand pressed to her chest, and her right hand was lifted to show her surroundings, "I have a strange creature in my dream that claims to be in her dream, no matter what you say, I..."
She gestured two fingers out of her right hand and pointed to her own eyes:
"I can see that you're not human."
"You're not human!" Melina pointed at herself, "I'm a pure-blooded human like me!" And how do you think it's your dream? ”
"Because the world revolves around me."
Alice made a haughty look. At the same time, as soon as she stretched out her hand, she actually grabbed an apple from the air, and she showed an exaggerated and sly smile: "Look, this is the proof that I am the master of the dream realm, I can do anything in the dream..."
Melina stretched out the parasol that was suddenly in her hand, her chin was slightly raised, and the small mouth covered with black lipstick hooked a smile at some point, leaned her face to the left, then twisted her body and leaned her face to the right, and stretched out her right index finger to stick it to the more delicate face in the dream, and asked innocently:
"Excuse me?"
“…”
"Ouch, the owner of the dream doesn't speak, it's Mei..." Melina pulled out a smile to cover up her slip of the tongue, "Is my sister doing something wrong?" Oops, this must be the umbrella you made for me, thank you, unknown aunt. ”
If Alice were considered human, she would be the most beautiful woman Melina had ever seen in her life.
The delicate face does not look childish, and the mature temperament is like a poisonous honey wine. The striking and tall figure is like a ripe fruit, cultivating a restless pit-like desire.
But as an enemy, it cannot be praised.
Melina is definitely not the kind of person who praises the courage of the enemy. If the enemy's intelligence is cunning, the enemy's reason is cold-blooded, and the enemy's beauty is the source of demagoguery and sin, if she does not trample everything she has, what is the reason for being against her? Turning enemies into friends? Huddle to the enemy? Ready to bring your talents to the enemy?
"A childish little girl who is still imitating the behavior of adults......"
Obviously, the other party has the same intention.
Stopping does not mean reconciliation.
Boom –
The two retain a certain tacit understanding to act in their respective 'territories'.
Melina searched her side, and if this was a game, there must have been some key information in this initial area that she had forgotten or not searched.
Suddenly, she turned her head with lightning bolts, her eyes wide as she stared at Alice, who had just tried to step her foot into her territory.
The corners of Alice's mouth twitched strangely, the corners of her mouth twitched, she snorted, and silently withdrew her feet.
It's a little more like a human being.
Melina snorted heavily.
It is believed that supernatural hearing can allow the other party to clearly capture this humming.
A second passed.
Melina's ears rang with a 'hum' sound.
When I turned around, I saw that the other party pretended not to look at this side.
Why is this woman so troublesome? Melina thought.
In the endless search, her mental state became more and more confused, but Melina saw that 'Alice' was still rummaging through the ground inch by inch, so she gritted her teeth and persisted.
Finally, under a small lawn, Melina touched a transparent card.
When she picked up the card, a small fantasy book suddenly stood behind her, and at the same time, her spirit seemed to have been suddenly hit by a hammer, and yawning could not stop appearing. She saw that the woman who called herself Alice seemed to have found something, and suddenly a small orchard with only one tree appeared behind her, and the tree was a pale green tree with a ghostly material feeling.
The woman was also climbing a tree as if she was holding back her sleepiness.
Melina also heard a faint voice that sounded like nothingness, more like a combination of countless sounds of defeat, ringing in her ears.
[Ancient Book House, get a random 'Strange Thing: Book', lose 30% of the existing Banshee Magic Factor]
She threw herself into the bookroom and reached for the thickest one on the shelves.
The faint voice suddenly had a hint of emotion, as if lamenting her greed.
[May your harvest in your dreams make you feel comforted.] 】
With a word, she fell asleep in her dream.
…
When she opened her eyes, Melina found that it was already morning.
Shake your body comfortably.
"I slept so comfortably..."
When she said this, her expression changed, and she felt that the magic factor that she should have been full of was actually 30% less, resulting in a continuous recovery after waking up now.
She quickly pulled the quilt away and saw a thick book on her lap.
There was no reason to speak of, Melina immediately knew what the book was called, and what its contents were.
The title of the book is "The Book of Jealousy (Thickened Toilet Paper Edition)".
