Mystery: Start with the Reader

"Surprise: Beginning with the Reader ()"

"Nightmare" is great...so, this is a dreamland? That's right, if it wasn't a dream, how could the "Church of Abundance" be full of seats? Reverend Norris dared to think of such a good thing only in his dreams.

However, I was pulled into a dream unknowingly... When?

Abner thought about it seriously for a moment, and immediately discovered some incongruities.

For example, the hotel where he was staying was only one block away from the Fengrao Church, why didn't he think of "flying" directly here in the dark?

And that rented carriage stopped in front of him as soon as he went out... Of course, what was even more contrary was that the coachman didn't charge for it!

At this time, Judy's mother, the long brown-haired lady, saw Abner's surprised look, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have already noticed... that's right, I used a sealed item, All the people in the nearby neighborhood were drawn into this dream. Hehe, the negative effect of that mask came too suddenly. In order not to cause a big commotion, I can only use this method to temporarily satisfy its little 'hobbies'.

"Besides, this is also helpful to the patient you brought... He had a bad digestion of his Extraordinary characteristics before... No, it can be said that he hardly digested it... With the help of this environment, it is very helpful for him to act properly. "

Speaking of which, the lady with long brown hair glanced at Abner, and continued with some playfulness, "I sent a carriage to invite you here, originally I wanted to ask about the specific situation of your mask...but you seem to be You have the ability to act in the dream, and you actually stay awake all the time..."

My ability to stay awake in the dream is probably related to the "pure white eye"... But I still can't compare to Klein. Not only can he stay awake, but he can also immediately realize that he is in a dream...

Of course, this is also related to experience. If I encounter more, I can probably tell the difference.

Abner was thoughtful, but he ignored the brown-haired lady's words, and asked instead: "These nearby residents may be confused, but having such an absurd dream will leave some impressions... I'm afraid I will have a grudge against the Abundance Church, how will Pastor Norris preach in the future?"

"They are all storm believers, and it is impossible for them to accept the teachings of the Mother God." The brown-haired lady frowned. Naturally.

You mean these are already "sunk" capital, so they are being used in "waste"?

Abnerton was speechless, and felt that this "lazy" lady who was suspected of being a psychological alchemist seemed to have a bit of a bad taste...

How did such a personality teach such a "simple" daughter like Miss Judy?

Abner slandered, and asked again: "But so many people have the same absurd dream, and I'm afraid they will be very panicked after waking up. What should I do if I sue the Church of Storms?"

"You seem to be thinking about something impolite..." The lady with long brown hair narrowed her eyes, then pointed to Dunn who was still giving an impromptu speech in front of the pulpit, and said with a smile, "It's right to be panic! How to reflect the performance effect of "Nightmare" without fear?

"As for reporting to the Church of Storms? That's even more impossible. They won't remember where they were scared."

I won't remember... So that's it, I almost forgot that the lady in front of me is a demigod of the "spectator" pathway, most likely a Sequence 4 "manipulator", and "modifying" the consciousness of ordinary people in dreams is her forte .

Nodding his head slightly, Abner sorted out his language, explained the negative effects of the "clown mask" in detail, and finally said: "I was also planning to recycle and seal it before."

The lady with long brown hair rested her right elbow on her left hand, pinched her chin with her right hand and thought for a while, then she thought about it and said, "If possible, I hope you can lend me this mask...or lend me the mask. patient for a while.

"First of all, you also know that his current identity is a bit inappropriate and needs some disguise, and the 'clown' mask is just right for him.

"Secondly,

When I was doing the initial treatment for him, I found that the character of this patient is too gentle, and he can’t be a real 'nightmare' at all... The negative effect of this mask can just help him, whether it is a 'nightmare' Or 'Midnight Poet', which does the job well. "

As for the "side effect" of splitting a new personality, she didn't care. After all, for a demigod-level "psychiatrist", the so-called split new personality is nothing at all.

Abner thought about her request seriously, and felt that it was all right to agree. That mask is not very useful to him now, not to mention that the other party has shipped the "cow" he wanted over thousands of miles, and this favor has to be paid back.

"Yes..." Abner nodded first, and then solemnly warned, "But you still have to be careful of the 'backlash' of that mask, its character is very bad."

"Don't worry, in terms of communication skills with this kind of 'living' sealed item, although I can't compare with the high-sequence powerhouses of the 'corpse collector' pathway, I have a way to make 'it' slightly change its mind." Brown long The lady with hair covered her mouth and smiled.

Are you planning to "hypnotize" the sealed item? There is still such an operation?

Just when Abner was a little stunned, the brown-haired lady continued: "However, you must borrow your things without expressing it, otherwise, if Judy finds out, she will definitely blame me for embarrassing myself in front of her friends."

I don't think you have the concept of "losing face" at all...

While Abner was complaining in his heart, he heard Judy's mother say:

"Well, I have two options here.

"First, I heard that you are already a 'polymath', and you definitely need to 'analyze' and 'learn' some practical abilities. I can demonstrate all the abilities of the 'spectator' pathway Sequence 9 to Sequence 4 for you...Of course , how much you can learn depends on your ability."

Know I'm a "polymath"? There are not many people who know this information... So, ma'am, you are really valued by Lilith... You should be her second or fifth child stationed in the "Psychological Alchemy Association".

With this in mind, Abner asked calmly on the surface: "What about the second choice?"

"Hehe, the second option is a complete manuscript of the 'Secret Technique'. It should be helpful to you when you become a 'Secretary Mentor' in the future." The brown-haired lady replied with a chuckle.

"What kind of 'secret technique'?" Abner asked curiously.

"Its name is 'solar eclipse', derived from the 'solar eclipse' ability of the 'Generalist' pathway sequence 5 'Astronomer', which can create a purely dark environment that blocks the sun through simple rituals." Brown Ms. Fa briefly described the effect of a "secret technique".

"Solar eclipse"... "Astronomer"... I remember that this sequence was called "astronologist" in ancient times. The emperor once said in his diary that after he became an "astronomer", he had his own actual combat skills. Extraordinary ability...

Well, this "practical extraordinary ability" is not an effect borrowed from various "astronomical phenomena", right?

"Solar eclipse" is to cover the sun and create darkness; then, "lunar eclipse" is to block the red moon, reduce spirituality, and reduce inspiration, right?

What about "meteor shower"? It won't really invite fireballs to fall from the sky, will it? In the future, "0-08" hit Klein with a meteorite, did it borrow a similar principle?

After thinking for a while, Abner sorted out his thoughts, weighed for a while, and finally made a decision: "I choose to observe the ability."

He has been coveting the ability of the "audience" for a long time, but unfortunately there is no suitable person or item for him to "sweat the wool". Now that the demigod of the "audience" took the initiative to come over, he certainly didn't want to miss it.

As for the composition manuscript of "solar eclipse", although it is quite good, it is not practical for him now.

"You should be on the train tomorrow afternoon, right? I'll demonstrate it to you when I come over tomorrow morning." The lady with long brown hair nodded first, then turned her head to see that the "speech" was over, and her face was covered with The embarrassed Dunn smiled again, "Okay, this is the end of tonight, I wish you all a sweet dream."

As her clear voice fell, the surrounding scenes shattered, and Abner sat up abruptly, only to find that he was still on the bed in the hotel room.

"No wonder the emperor always said to 'be careful of the audience'...

"Hehe, her purpose of borrowing the 'clown mask' is definitely not as simple as she said...

"However, since she is someone trusted by the Mother Earth, she will not harm Dunn."

...

Early the next morning, Abner rushed to the Church of Abundance, first watched Judy's mother's demonstration, and then chatted with Dunn, who was a little uncomfortable seeing him, before going to the steam train station, taking a The first train in the afternoon arrived in Tingen before sunset.

He didn't make a disguise this time, and rented a room in the hotel with his true colors.

After taking a simple bath, Abner was about to rest, but suddenly felt a trance, but he woke up immediately.

After having a forced dream experience, he immediately knew that he was being dragged into a dream by someone again!
