Chapter 173: A Nightmare (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

City of Silver.

Derick Berg didn't know how he got home, only the unspeakable fear.

Compared to the past, Duck Riggins's personality and performance are not much different, but there are indeed disturbing changes, Daric is afraid that Silver City will be targeted by the evil god "Fallen Creator", afraid that he has not yet become the "sun", saved Silver City from a curse that has lasted for more than 2,000 years, and given hope and sunshine to the inhabitants here, it has been completely destroyed.

At this moment, he hated that he was not strong enough, and he only had Sequence 8.

No! You can't just watch like that! Derick Horan stood up, ready to rush to the Round Tower, and tell the other elders of the "Council of Six" about the anomaly he had discovered, and to the "chief" Colin Iliad.

But Darek knew very well that similar anomalies were not suspicious at all, and every time he explored the depths of the darkness, the members were bound to be in a state of high tension for days, more than ten days, or even more than a month, and it was really a monster that could be encountered at any time and anywhere, whether powerful or weird.

In addition, the desolation of the uninhabited and hopeless journey will bring extreme depression, and for the sake of safety, the members of the exploration team are not allowed to have sexual catharsis during the outing phase, which makes it possible for them to experience a certain reshaping of their minds every time they experience exploration, and if they encounter the great danger of killing and injuring more than half of the team members, it is not too uncommon for the rest of the people to change their personalities.

The treatment of such persons is limited to routine isolation and treatment, with few exceptions.

- Silver City has the first three sequences of the "Dragon" path, so there is no shortage of "psychoanalysts".

Darek rushed to the door, suddenly slowing down.

He knew that reporting to the "Council of Six" in this way was likely to be ineffective, and there was a high chance that it would arouse suspicion, and there was even a danger of being targeted by Elder Lovia the "Shepherd".

After lingering for more than ten seconds, Darik gritted his teeth and pulled the door out.

He thought he had to warn the elders of the Council of Six, even if it would be at great risk!

For the vast majority of the inhabitants of Silver City, sacrificing to maintain the existence of the city and the continuation of this civilization is a belief engraved in the bone marrow after hearing and seeing.

Selfish people often don't live long in such internal and external circumstances.

Of course, Deric was not completely reckless, and under the teachings of the members of the Tarot Society, especially the "Hanged Man", he clearly understood that there were times when he knew how to be patient, to properly protect himself, and not to make useless and unnecessary sacrifices, in order to better defend the Silver City.

I'm just saying that the anomaly I've observed shouldn't be dangerous...... Darek comforted himself and ran faster and faster.

Finally, he saw the round tower, which symbolized the supreme power of Silver City.

He found the Extraordinary Man on duty and asked to meet the Chief.

To Derik's surprise, the Extraordinary One didn't ask why, as he normally would, and after a brief pass, led him up the stairs to the room that belonged to the "Chief".

It's weird...... It's not the same as before...... Derrick felt that the change in detail made him even more uneasy.

Entering the room, he saw the "chief" Colin Iliad standing in front of a wall.

Wearing his usual linen shirt and brown coat, this tall old man with deep nasolabial folds, blue eyes, and messy white hair with his back to two straight swords hanging from the wall crossed over his shoulder, and his usual linen shirt and brown coat made it hard to believe that he was a strong man who had hunted many demons and monsters.

"Derick Berg, what do you have to tell me face to face?" asked Colin in a mellow voice.

"Your Excellency. "I met the team exploring that temple at the training ground today, and I, I noticed a strange change in the Duck Rickins I knew, he was no longer as cheerful as he used to be, his smile was as polite as a stranger, and Elder Lovia no longer changed his speech from time to time. ”

Colin gave Derick a deep look and asked in a low voice:

"That's all there is to it?"

"Yes, yes. Derick lowered his head, "I think there might be something anomalous. ”

Colin waved his hand and said:

"I know, I'll let Avro do the inspection, you go back, and in the future, this kind of thing can be reported directly to the guardians of the Round Tower. ”

Avro is the most senior and closest Sequence 6 "Psychoanalyst" in Silver City, but unfortunately, there is no post-Sequence 7 potion recipe here.

Receiving such an answer, Derick departed in a gloomy voice.

Colin watched his back disappear by the door, and suddenly sighed rather disappointed.

............

After exchanging information with Dr. Allen about Will Onsetin's condition for a while, Klein, who had not been noticed, got out of the carriage and took the steam subway, arriving near Minsk Street after three stops, and returning home in a trolleybus bus.

Because it was still early, he first used divination to confirm that the previous tenant was not lying, and then continued to study the "Book of Secrets" diligently.

Since having this book of occult science, which can be said to be from beginner to proficient, Klein has made more and more clever use of the mysterious space above the gray mist, and has completed many excellent operations.

"What limits me now is my own sequence, my own strength and spirituality. In the middle of the night, Klein hid the Book of Secrets and sighed as he went to the bathroom to clean himself up and get ready for bed.

That night, he slept soundly, and even the church bell in the early morning only made him roll over.

Winter is a good time to stay under the covers...... Crane muttered as he got up.

To treat the "Black Emperor" to his breakfast, he had extra sweetened boiled eggs and strawberry jam for white bread.

Just as he was leisurely enjoying his food, the doorbell was suddenly ringing.

"Didn't I tell Mike to let him come after breakfast?" Klein muttered, taking a sip of the sweet soup and wiping his mouth with a napkin.

According to his agreement with reporter Mike, the other party will arrive half an hour after breakfast to start interviewing the rescued East Side girls, and if Mike does not show up for more than half an hour, it means that the matter will be postponed for a day.

Klein walked to the door, and before he could reach out, he naturally sketched out the visitor outside the door, who was not Reporter Mike Joseph, but Dr. Alan Krees.

"Good morning, Alan, you slept late yesterday?" Klein noticed that Alan's face was quite bad, so he quietly turned on his vision and took a look.

Alan took off his hat and put his cane away, and was about to take off his coat, but was dissuaded by the cold air in the room.

Klein laughed dryly twice and said:

"I'm going to go out today, you know, Mike might come to me, so, didn't get the fireplace. ”

Alan nodded, didn't say much, followed Klein all the way into the living room, found a place to sit down, and then spoke:

"Sherlock, I had a nightmare last night, I dreamed of that kid, Will Onsetin!"

Nightmares? That's within my knowledge...... Dream interpretation is my profession, more professional than reasoning...... Klein leaned forward, clasped his hands, and said:

"What kind of nightmare?"

Alan recalled:

"There are some details and processes that I can't remember, but what impresses me the most is a pitch-black tower, on which coiled a silver-white serpent, slowly wriggling, looking at me with cold, merciless red eyes.

"I didn't know why, but I entered the minaret, and went up and down the stairs, through wall after wall, through locked doors, and at last I found the boy in a dark corner, who had jumped a few steps on one leg and curled up against the wall, with the tarot cards sprinkled around him.

"When he saw that it was me, he was scared and happy at the same time, and shouted 'Dr. Allen'...... That's pretty much the whole dream, and then I woke up. ”

Klein listened carefully, pondered and asked:

"Didn't Will Unsetin say anything else?"

Alan frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly blurted out:

"Yes, he said, Dr. Allen, there's a snake trying to eat me!

Then the silvery-white serpent hung upside down from the ceiling, its head facing me......

"It has a large mouth, but it has no teeth in it, no tongue, and is blood-red!"

Silvery-white serpent ...... Pitch Black Tower...... Will Encetin under the layers of defense...... Klein pondered and said to Dr. Allen:

"It's not a strange dream, it should be that when you were communicating with Will Onsetin, you unconsciously noticed that he was in some kind of predicament, threatened by something, so you dreamed of a similar scene: a child hiding in the depths of the tower, hiding behind countless walls and gates, and a silver-white serpent coiled at the top of the tower......

"Hehe, as a detective, you have to know a little bit about psychology, and there are often introductions in newspapers.

"What puzzles me is, why did you dream like this until today?"

Klein didn't lie about his interpretation, he just didn't tell the real reason for the possibility.

Alan opened his mouth and said:

"I was so anxious that I forgot one thing. ”

As he spoke, he took out a leather wallet and took out a handmade paper crane from it:

"When I found out that Will Ancetin's family had moved out, I remembered that he gave me this thing before he was discharged from the hospital, saying, "Doctor, this will bring you good luck."

"I didn't care about it at the time, I threw it in the office drawer, and after I separated from you last night, I went to get it back and put it in my wallet, and I had the nightmare I just had at night. ”

Crane looked at the thousand paper cranes, nodded thoughtfully:

"Dr. Allen, it seems that Will Unsetin did not mean to make you unlucky, he made amends afterwards, and the Thousand Paper Cranes invented by Russell the Great themselves meant to give good wishes, and he also said that it would bring you good luck. ”

Alan subconsciously asked:

"The paper crane folding method was invented by Russell the Great?"

I don't know if it's him, but I think it's him...... Klein upturned the corners of his mouth and said:

"Probably. ”
