Mysterious journey

Garen nodded.

But in my heart, I thought of my own time travel from the beginning until now.

He himself knew that he was not actually born with a soul of time and space attributes, but was transformed by that weird red substance, and even had a by-product of innate abilities.

Now that Hesas said this, he vaguely suspected that he was probably an experimental product created by a powerful being to simulate the soul of time and space attributes. It may also be a simple product of evolutionary mutation stimulated by a drug, but in any case, it is the result of a pure accident. This is luck and opportunity.

As long as he does not encounter external blows that can completely destroy his soul, he can always be reincarnated like a true spirit.

Back at the villa, Ma Qiuli, the mute servant, gave him a glass of homemade juice and helped him take off his clothes and hang them up.

Garen went directly back to the secret room, habitually checking the grimoires and masks hidden in the secret room, as well as the most troublesome coins.

Everything was safe and sound. The five masks were stacked on top of each other and pressed against the coin. The force field they emitted tightly wrapped the coin into an oval shape.

Just when he was about to close the secret grid, a slight change suddenly caused him to pause.

"This is...?" Garen reached out and picked up the top mask.

Where there was no markings on the mask, a small mark suddenly appeared.

On the lower right corner of the mask, this mark is like a small black dot, clearly visible, it seems to be a symbol and a number.

He reached out and touched it gently. There was no unevenness on it, and it didn't look like it was carved or glued on.

Looking at the other masks, all the masks have them, and each one is different, but they seem to have a similar structure.

‘When the force field is enhanced to a certain level, more clues may appear. ’ Hesas whispered.

"It is rumored that if you collect twelve masks, you can get the whereabouts of the original masks. Maybe it is possible. I should be the first person to collect so many masks. It turns out that these masks exist in various large organizations or In the hands of the Secret Collector." Garen nodded.

"Sleepless Face, it seems there is quite a lot hidden inside," Garen muttered while holding the mask.

‘What stage has your dream practice of Void Stalker reached? ’ Hesas suddenly asked.

"how?"

‘Beyond the stage of being able to freely control actions in dreams is vision. ’ Hesas explained, ‘When you enter the level of vision, you can see many things that you couldn’t see before. Maybe it will help you track down the mask. ’

"Vision?" Garen repeated.

'Yes, dreams have the nature of disillusionment, but they also have the same function as radios. They can receive many weak and mysterious signals from other dark worlds. Some of these signals are messy and just interference and useless, while others can reflect Lots of real reality. Dreams are actually the other side of the human body that is different from the five senses. Of course, if you can really grasp the key. ’

"Dreams are another sense?" This was the first time Garen had heard this statement.

‘You can try to observe every dream you have now. It just so happens that Nadia is temporarily suppressed by the mask and the attack cycle becomes longer. This is a precious buffer time. ’

Putting down his mask, Garen repeatedly thought about Hesas's words and compared it with his previous dreams. Indeed, dreams are sometimes just the realization of his own desires, and there are also shadows of disillusionment caused by external interference, but there are also reflections of reality and reality. , that would be a bit magical.

‘Next, I will use my strength to guide you in the dream. It just so happens that I have been practicing for a while now, and my strength is still sufficient. ’ Hesas continued.

"Why did you suddenly become so enthusiastic?" Garen suddenly asked.

Hesas did not speak for a long time this time, but remained silent for a long time.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Garen whispered.

‘Nothing to hide. ’ Hesas smiled, ‘I’m about to disappear. ’

Garen was slightly stunned. After spending so much time together, he had already become accustomed to Hesas' guidance as both a teacher and a friend. Now he could feel that Hesas was giving guidance to him purely without any selfish motives.

he asked after a moment of silence.

"Is it because of the Killing Hand?"

'yes. ’ Hesas responded calmly, ‘The Demonic Killing Skill has been abolished, and I am being washed away by the current secret weapon. ’ He smiled bitterly, ‘I depend on the Secret Martial Arts of the Killing Hand. It’s just a memory of killing the Demon King. It cannot exist on its own. ’

"Is there a solution?" Garen asked in a low voice.

He was answered by a long silence.

Garen didn't speak any more, put the mask back into the secret compartment, turned around and left the secret room.

Perhaps because of Hesas's company, he no longer feels lonely. To be honest, he doesn't want Hesas to disappear.

"Can practicing Killing Hand guarantee your existence?" Garen asked in a low voice.

‘Are you willing to study concurrently? ’ Heisa suddenly sounded delighted.

"It would be very simple if we just keep the first layer." Garen said lightly.

‘Sure enough, playing the tragedy card is the right choice! Hahaha! ’ Hesas laughed proudly.

"It's really troublesome to study concurrently. Let's forget it..." Garen said with a dark look on his face.

'do not! ! Just open whatever conditions you want! Think about when I made you suffer, believe me! ’ Heisa suddenly shouted.

The two bickered. Go straight through the corridor and head towards the study.

In a dark space.

Hesas floats quietly in the center, his red eyes flickering in light and dark. Only he himself knows that in fact, the moment the Killing Hand was modified, the last foundation of his existence was completely wiped out, and it is useless to repair it now.

He silently looked at his increasingly transparent body, with a wry smile on his lips.

Perhaps this silent disappearance is the destination of this memory of mine.

You shouldn't expect more in the first place.

Maybe one day, when he calls himself and never responds, he will think of me, who is just a memory.

"Hesas, have you seen it? This seems to be some kind of counting symbol." Garen was already sitting at the desk and drew the symbol he just saw.

Putting aside his thoughts, Hesas released a trace of black energy from behind Garen and saw the symbols on the table.

‘Some kind of counting indeed. ’ He carefully distinguished the symbols on the white paper. 'But there are so few clues that it is difficult to obtain meaningful information. Are there any other clues from the man in black? ’

"If we collect more things, we may be able to get more clues." Garen frowned.

‘There is another way, enter the dreamland and learn the skills of vision. You may be able to see the history left on the mask. ’ Hesas reminded.

"history?"

'Yes. Many things may still have many traces that cannot be perceived by our normal senses, just like a picture drawn on a piece of paper. We can only see it with our eyes but not hear it with our ears. Only a certain kind of There will definitely not be only one trace that can be detected by the senses. There should be traces that can be detected by the dream senses. Maybe clues can be found through dreams. ’Hesas tried to describe it in easy-to-understand language.

"How to try?" Garen asked.

‘After entering the dreamland, you must first distinguish which ones are illusions and which ones are real reflection and refraction projections. This is the first step, take your time. ’

Garen carefully recalled the techniques for learning dreams so far.

Hesas's dream skills have really helped him a lot. From being unable to move his body at the beginning, to now he can move freely and can even glimpse higher-level skills.

Carefully sort out all the technical content.

1. Train to concentrate and gather your attention that is easy to wander in dreams. The method is to find a focus point, such as a certain part of your body.

You cannot find it from the environment in the dream, because dreams are of a disillusioning nature. Many places are formed by the vague memory of the human body. Careful observation will lead to fluctuations in the dream. If you do not pay attention to many details in the memory, then once you carefully observe them in the dream, you cannot find them. Observation can lead to distraction and even the destruction of dream transitions.

2. After ensuring that you can completely concentrate your attention, at the same time, use the corner of your eye to quickly scan the dream scene. Don't pause in one place for too long, as this can cause the dream itself to fluctuate.

The entire dream is like a rough and inferior fantasy, with flaws and loopholes in many places. Once the loopholes are discovered, it will lead to a sense of distrust and unreality in the entire dream. The entire dream will naturally be completely shattered by the influence of consciousness and transformed into Other scenes.

3. After being able to observe the dream, you need to find the entrance or starting point of your dream, and be aware that you are dreaming. It would be better if you could feel the process of entering a dream. This is preparation for the next step. Due to the concentration of attention, an unusually clear consciousness is produced, so this process in turn will be much easier. If this step is taken from the beginning, it will be unsuccessful, because the attention will be easily affected by dreams.

‘What you need to do now is step four. ’ Hesas guided in a low voice. ‘From this step forward, if you succeed, you will truly enter the core essential knowledge of Void Stalkers. ’ He explained, ‘We Guyinduo actually regard dreaming as a process of going deep into one’s own consciousness and soul. Step by step, we go deeper and explore until we find our most essential true spirit in the deepest part of the soul, and then we All of your memories are imprinted on it. They are the tiniest material particles of your soul, particles that are indestructible and indelible. ’

‘So dreams actually have many layers. In the fourth step, what you have to do is to consolidate your dreams. This is to actively strengthen the first layer of your dream and prepare for the depth later. Vision is a skill that can only be used and trained after reaching the second level of dreamland. ’

"I understand what you mean. Dreams are actually the process of one's own consciousness going deep into one's soul. The deeper you go, the more you can discover the hidden essence of the soul. So the level of dreams itself is actually the level of the soul. "Garen nodded in understanding. .

‘That’s it, you have to start from the starting point of the dream, gradually consolidate the details of the entire dream in all directions, strengthen the first layer of the dream, and minimize its disillusionment as much as possible, so that it can be least disturbed by the outside world. ’
