Start Cthulhu with priest

Chapter 149 148. Only this Tentacle Is Still Warm (12)

In the dark night.

In an empty bathroom.

The boy's smile in the mirror was fleeting, and it turned into a slightly surprised expression again, as if the smile had never appeared on that face.

An Le is no stranger to the teenagers he has seen.

What is reflected in the mirror is neither his real body nor the strange body of other people.

Instead, it should only exist in the past, and has not been imprisoned in that place for three full years. It should have developed according to the ordinary life trajectory, sixteen-year-old An Le!

Even the clothes on his body were the same as An Le remembered, white and plain clothes like a mouse, and there were red marks left by chains on his hands and feet.

‘Here, it’s a dream. '

It's not difficult for An Le to judge this point, and it's not difficult to guess—this is probably the method of [Ghoul].

Even if it is not easy to understand, in the records of [Ghouls] that An Le read, without exception, the connection between ghouls and dreams is mentioned.

The two seem to have no connection, but they are closely linked together.

Since it is a dream, it is not surprising that there are any abnormalities here.

The image presented in the dream is different from reality, which is even more reasonable.

However, An Le couldn't help but wonder: 'When did I get recruited? '

He clearly remembered that he went back to the bedroom as usual, and then lay down on the bed to sleep.

'In that alley? '

Seriously recalling the experience of this day, An Le found that the only abnormality was the special warning sign that rose from the bottom of his heart in that alley.

It was probably at that time that the ghouls did something to him.

'So... I am probably not the only one who fell into this dream. '

'It is estimated that the entire group, as well as Xia Bingxin, have been drawn in here. '

An Le collected his thoughts, knowing that he had more important things to do right now.

He first tried to summon tentacles.

The process was a little more difficult than usual, as if the tentacles had to penetrate a certain layer of membrane to descend into this world, but they somehow appeared beside An Le.

These cute little guys, like domestic cats, rushed to Anle's cheeks affectionately the moment they were summoned, and rubbed the ends of their tentacles vigorously, expressing their joy.

Seeing their appearance, An Le couldn't help but relax a bit.

'In this cold and terrifying dream world, only these tentacles can bring some warmth. '

An Le tried [Distortion Healing] again to see if he could get rid of the dream by extracting dirty mind.

However, as expected, there is no filthy reason to extract.

Because, here is a dream.

Just another normal activity that amounts to the brain, not the madness that the church considers it.

Afterwards, An Le began to try to sink his consciousness gradually.

Even if it can feel a slight resistance, it still dives into a deep sea very quickly.

When he opened his eyes again, An Le saw towering walls, grotesque murals, glamorous nuns... the church that belonged to him unfolded before his eyes.

And the church in front of me is clearer and more real than usual?

No matter what, when I came to this familiar place, I made up my mind with peace of mind, and felt confident in my heart.

He approached Sai Lei and asked directly, "How much do you know about dreams and ghouls?"

After the last "murder" incident, the two had a tacit understanding of that incident, as if it had never happened, but Anle also clearly felt that the relationship between Sai Lei and him was stronger than before. closer.

"Ghoul?"

Sai Lei's expression was slightly confused: "What is that? Listening to the name, it looks like an inferior undead. I have no impression of it."

An Le: "..."

He could probably guess that the reason Seri had no memory was because ghouls were so low-level that they were not worth remembering.

"But the dream, that is a very wonderful place..."

Sai Lei took some time to explain to An Le what she knew about dreams.

Include some key points, taboos, and possible causes of dreams.

Finally, with a slight movement of Sai Lei's fingers, a handful of brown-gray hair snapped off.

She handed the hair to An Le: "Father An, please take it with you, it may help you."

An Le was amazed: 'Sai Lei's hair, does it have magical effects? '

The next thought that came to his mind was—maybe we should pack a little more, just in case.

But An Le was worried that Sai Lei would become angry and touch him like last time, which would ruin his innocence, which would be bad, so she didn't say this out.

‘Hey, these days, it’s really rare for a boss like me who needs to guard against being unspoken by employees. '

*****

Then, An Le found Ji Ya.

Under his feeding these days, Ji Ya has changed from two and a half drops of original blood to five drops of original blood, which can be called a huge improvement.

An Le asked her for information about ghouls.

In the end, just like Sai Lei, she thought this kind of guy was too low-level, and she had never heard of it.

At this time, An Le couldn't help but have a question in his heart.

In all fairness, he didn't think the ghoul was such a high-end monster, it was far worse than the big black horse, the fog mother, his bone fingers...

‘But it’s such an existence, how did it pull me into a dream without anyone noticing it? '

An Le couldn't think of an answer to this question for the time being.

But that didn't stop him from taking action.

Soon, the phantoms of Guangtai and Chen Ye appeared in front of Anle.

It can be clearly seen that the expressions of the two are more dazed than usual, as if they are in a special state.

‘Sure enough...they were also pulled into the dreamland. '

'And now, it seems impossible to communicate? '

Anle speculates that the two may not realize that they are dreaming, their brains are in the gap between dormancy and activity, and their subconscious mind controls their thinking.

*****

After collecting enough information, An Le's consciousness returned to reality.

Waves of weakness came from his body, indicating that almost all the gifts he possessed had disappeared, and now he was just an ordinary sixteen-year-old boy.

An Le clenched his fists, his heart filled with inexplicable emotions: 'It's been a long time, I haven't experienced this feeling. '

However, he wasn't alarmed.

From Sai Lei, An Le has obtained the knowledge he wanted.

The so-called dream is a real and illusory world formed by the human brain under the action of some special soul power.

Different from the dreams of ordinary people or the previous life on the earth, the dreams of this world have some real attributes.

Due to the particularity of the soul, the extraordinary can still control part of the power in the dream.

And the core of regaining this power lies in... imagination!

The deeper the understanding of extraordinary power, the more concrete the existence that can be imagined and manifested, the more power can be regained.

An Le closed her eyes, thinking.

'First, the shadows...'

Thanks to "qrfeng" for the reward of 1500 coins! Thank you so much!
