Deep Sea Embers.

Chapter 522 Trapped in a Dream
Beyond the boundary of the elf girl's dream, another elf appeared.

Heidi's heart instantly woke up.

Under normal circumstances, no other "mental entities" should appear outside the boundaries of the dream, because this area is essentially a chaotic projection of the interaction between the dreamer's subconscious boundary and the "real world". The person's own reason is no longer effective, and the broken and chaotic subconsciousness is disturbed from the depths of the world, creating all kinds of unimaginable or dangerous "shadows"-these shadows are so dangerous that the "mental barrier" of human beings must be in place. Only by fully operating this layer can the information on the border be prevented from penetrating "inside".

Heidi still clearly remembers what her teacher said when she was studying in the Academy of Truth—everyone is actually "blindfolded" in their dreams. If they really see the real appearance on the edge of their dreams, then Everyone in this world is going crazy.

Therefore, with the normal functioning of the mental barrier, the dreamer will never "recognize" the "outside area" of his dream, and will not generate any mental entities in this area.

Heidi clenched the golden cone again, and at the same time silently recited Laheem's name in her heart, so that the golden cone in her hand had the suggestive power to kill the intruder in the dream, because she knew very well that the "figure" that appeared here, Either a "doctor" like himself, or... just another intruder.

The figure with his back to this side seemed unaware of the lady psychiatrist who was approaching behind him. He still stood there blankly, keeping his head slightly raised, as if he was concentrating on observing the canopy of trees that covered the sky.

Under the canopy of the trees, the sun is shining all over the forest—if it weren’t for the fact that this figure appeared here, it would be against harmony, but it would still be a very nice scenery here.

Heidi came behind this mental entity, then raised her hand suddenly, and pressed the golden awl against the back of the opponent's head—but just as she was about to stab the golden awl down, she abruptly stopped her movements.

Not an intruder!
The "golden cone" blessed by Raheem is a surgical tool for treating neuropathy in the real world, and it is a "suggestion carrier" with various extraordinary powers in the spiritual field. It can be used to eliminate shadows in the mind, It can also be used to establish temporary mental contact - at this moment, the clear and stable thinking response is transmitted to Heidi's perception along with the contact of the golden cone, and the close connection between the mental entity in front of him and the surrounding environment is also transmitted. Contact, the well-trained psychiatrist immediately judged what was going on——

She came into contact with another "dreamer".

This is not the "outside area" of that elf girl's dream, this is another elf's dream!

Huge astonishment and confusion surged up in an instant. Heidi has never encountered such a strange situation in her professional field since graduation. She saw another dreamer in the dream of a "patient", and the two dreams Blended together, even the "division" between them is not even noticeable!
An idea popped into Heidi's mind irresistibly—she has a paper for the next journal, but if she really writes this into the paper, even the most whimsical psychologists in the Institute of Truth will be in trouble day and night. Take a boat trip to Prand to fight with yourself offline...

Thoughts in her mind were flying like lightning, Heidi had already withdrawn the golden awl at the first time, and it was not until she hid the golden awl behind her back that the slightly hunched figure in front of her with messy blond hair realized belatedly, Turn your head slowly.

A tired and confused face appeared in Heidi's eyes.

The latter immediately thought of some awesome exam surprise students he met during his advanced studies at the academy.

They don't eat, they don't sleep, they don't rest -- and they fail.

"Hello," said the tired face, as if he hadn't slept much in his life, his tone was slow, as if he was still half asleep, "You also came to kill me in a dream?"

The confused thoughts in Heidi's mind were cleared up immediately, and she immediately realized: "Yeah? Someone attacked you in your dream?"

"There are a few," the middle-aged elf with messy blond hair nodded, and pointed to the ground not far away, "Look, there it is."

"How many... How many?" Heidi was a little dazed when she heard the words. She looked in the direction of the other's fingers, but saw only a few small scorched objects in the open space not far away, "They are..."

"I don't know where it came from, so I asked them a few questions, and that's it," the middle-aged elf said slowly, looking as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment, and then he shook his head again, "It's all The key points that I circled before..."

Heidi frowned slightly.

The mental state of the elf in front of him is not quite right, he seems to have confused some things in the dream, he vaguely mentioned the "circled key point"... Is this due to his identity and activities in real life?He is a teacher?Or a scholar?
This elf knew that he was in a dream, and he also knew that he was attacked in the dream, but his cognition was obviously confused again... Was it because he was damaged in the previous attack, or because he was in the process of falling into the dream? What "affects" have you received?
"You haven't answered my question yet, ma'am." Just as Heidi was thinking quickly, the voice of the middle-aged elf came into her ears again, "Are you also here to attack me?"

"No," Heidi immediately shook her head. Although the elf in front of her was still very awkward in asking questions in such a weird and tense manner, she chose to reveal her identity, "I'm a psychiatrist."

The other party frowned upon hearing this: "Psychiatrist?"

"Yes, psychiatrist," Heidi nodded immediately, and at the same time, she took out the "golden cone" representing her profession from behind her with a natural expression, and then brushed her hand over her forehead and eyes, "and also a follower of Raheem. .”

"Oh, professionals," the middle-aged elf nodded slowly, and said in a daze, "It seems that my students invited you here—they finally found out that their teacher was trapped in a dream? I thought They will take this opportunity to take two days off..."

The strange elf in front of him seemed to have misunderstood something.

But Heidi did not unravel the meaning of this misunderstanding-a "reason for intervention" recognized by the dreamer itself is obviously a good thing, which can help her stay in this dream more stably.

"My name is Heidi, I'm glad I found you," Heidi said politely, "How did you fall into this dream?"

"How did I fall into this dream? I don't know very well," the middle-aged elf frowned, "but I still remember what I was doing before... I observed the sun on the tower, the sun... that's right! The sun! Miss Heidi , the sun is extinguished, and I am taking this opportunity to observe its surface structure—how is the situation outside now? Was the sun still extinguished when you came over?"

"The sun has been relit." Heidi replied while quickly digesting the clues provided by the other party, while guessing where the elf was in the real world.

The other party mentioned the "tower", but Prand did not have a high tower dedicated to observing the sun - if the "observation" mentioned by the elf who seemed to be a teacher or scholar was some kind of professional research behavior, then he must have It was done on a high tower with complete facilities.

where will it beMoco?Asodi?Or Breeze Harbor?

And to observe its surface while the sun is extinguished... This kind of bold action has surpassed the courage of ordinary "scholars". Even his own father may have to hesitate when doing this kind of thing. This elf again What is the origin?In which city-state would there be such a desperate and sleepless elf scholar?
Just when a few guesses appeared in her mind, the middle-aged elf in front of her spoke again.

His eyes glanced at the gold cone in Heidi's hand, and he thought for a while, as if he hadn't suddenly remembered anything until now.

"Miss Hattie," he asked politely, "did you just poke my neck with this thing?"

Heidi: "..."

Why did this person suddenly remember to ask this now? !

……

"Master Taran El is still comatose?"

Lucrezia frowned, looking at the elf master who was still lying quietly on the bed with his eyes closed and no sign of waking up, with a slightly serious expression.

She returned to the Bright Star with the "manuscript" left by Taran El, but after the preliminary inspection, she had no clue, so she wanted to come to Qingfeng Harbor to inquire about the other party's situation, but she did not expect that the elf The great scholar is still in a deep sleep.

This city-state has many skilled doctors, as well as outstanding scholars of the Academy of Truth, but it can't wake up Taran Al who has fallen into a coma?
"Yes... yes, Ms. Lucrecia," said a young man in the ward who came to take care of the university student. Facing the "Sea Witch" with many strange legends, this young apprentice obviously Very nervous, "The doctor said that the teacher was not injured or poisoned, but more like being trapped in a nightmare. This may be the 'effect' caused by the sun going out..."

Lucrezia frowned, and glanced at the other figures in the room. Among the apprentices, she saw a vaguely familiar face.

"Joshua, your teacher should know the protective skills in the field of spirit and psychology, right?"

"Yes, Ms. Lucrecia," the young apprentice who was caught by the "Sea Witch" while running in the corridor before hastily replied, "Teacher, he often needs to touch some weird items found in the border area, so I usually do mental protection training..."

"That is to say, Taran Al possesses the ability to stay awake and protect himself in nightmares. Under normal circumstances, he can break free from the dream by himself—but the current situation is beyond his ability."

"We've already hired a psychiatrist!" Joshua hurriedly said, "We'll be there soon!"

"Ordinary psychiatrists probably won't be able to help, this is no longer an ordinary nightmare," Lucrezia shook her head, "I'm going to take him to the Bright Star, my laboratory should be useful. "
