Chapter 525 The real intruder

Heidi looked confused, then frightened.

Because she knew who the father of the "Witch in the Sea" existed - this thrilling joke is not funny at all!

"I am a believer of Rahm, the god of wisdom, ma'am," she said in a hurry, as if she was afraid that she would deepen the misunderstanding if she said it too late, and then she really established some secret connection with the terrifying shadow of the subspace. "I am just an ordinary psychiatrist, you must have made a mistake!"

But Lucresia just frowned slightly, her eyes calmly landed on the chest of the "psychiatrist". The amethyst pendant that looked ordinary was still vaguely exuding a familiar atmosphere - she might have admitted her mistake in other things, but her father's aura...

She even felt her father's eyes staring at her quietly through the pendant.

"Where did you come from?" Lucresia asked suddenly.

"This... was a gift from my father, who bought it from an antique shop," Heidi quickly explained, but didn't think much about it for a moment, "It's not a special item, but it just happened to have a little spiritual protection effect..."

"Antique Shop?" Lucresia was a little confused, "Your father is..."

"Oh, this girl is the daughter of Maurice Underwood," Taran Al, who had not spoken much at this time, finally spoke. He felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong. "Relax, Ms. Lucresia, this lady is indeed a psychiatrist, she is helping me leave here."

But Lucresia was stunned after hearing Taran Al's words, then looked at Heidi with a subtle expression on her face: "Maurice Underwood?"

"Yes...yes," Heidi nodded, "that's my father's name..."

Lucresia had no expression on her face, but in her mind recalled the scene when she met the new crew members of the Lost Country through the crystal ball, and recalled the respectable master - her father's current "knowledge consultant".

The world is so small.

The coldness in her eyes melted, and the smiled expression reappeared sincerity, and the eyes that looked at Heidi also softened: "Hello, Miss Heidi."

"Hello... Hello," Heidi was confused. She always felt that her life had experienced several ups and downs in just a while, but she didn't know what was going on. She could only respond nervously to the greeting of the "witch" in front of her, "You... know my father? And you and Master Taran Al also know each other?"

"This world is smaller than you think," Lucresia did not answer the other person directly, but just casually said and looked at the elf scholar opposite him, "From self-perception, how long have you felt you had been trapped in this dream?"

"Unsure, I have a problem with my time perception now. How many days may it be? It may be longer."

Lucresia frowned: "From the cognitive offset, it's already a bit dangerous... I guess you've tried various awakening methods yourself, including the fall method?"

Taran Al spread his hands: "Yes, the 'sudden death method' is useless."

"If the conventional subconscious awakening method does not work, then other methods do not work. This is not a normal dream - it is not an external curse or mental attack," Lucresia waved her hand. "I have checked your condition in the real world and arranged a site to control mental pollution in the laboratory to rule out these situations... Miss Heidi, can you tell me the information you have at present?"

Heidi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and after two seconds she realized it, she quickly told the "witch" in front of her, and even started with her invitation to the town hall in Plander - she dared not miss a single detail.

Lucresia listened to the other party's large string of intelligence patiently, and her expression changed several times.

"From a dream far away in Plander, I entered Taran Al's dream... The distance between these two city-states is not simple, and the entrance to the dream has disappeared now..." The "witch" looked solemn and said slowly, "It seems that if the guidance is not smooth, even you, a psychiatrist, will be trapped in this place."

"So do you two experts have a conclusion now?" As the only "patient" on the scene, Taran Al seemed quite calm. At this time, he just asked curiously, "What's going on in this dream?"

"...I need to confirm something before I make a conclusion," Lucresia asked with a serious look on her face, "How did you fall into a deep sleep? I found the draft you left behind on the tower. At that time, you seemed to be planning to send it to the academy through the "Speed" piece. Did you encounter an attack on the tower? Or did you 'see' something while observing the sun?"

Taran Al is trapped in memories.

After a long time, he spoke with uncertainty: "I was not attacked... I only remember that I saw many vague shadows and lines in the sun through the equipment on the tower, so I wanted to record them all, but those things were too chaotic and vague, and I couldn't see clearly no matter what, so I could only draw a rough idea and then..."

His words suddenly became extremely hesitant, and a deep confusion and confusion appeared in his eyes. It seemed that the more he recalled what he saw when he fell into a deep sleep, the more he could not confirm his memory.

Finally, Taran Al stopped and could no longer recall what he had experienced in the last second before he fell asleep. He slowly raised his head with confusion, glanced over Heidi and Lucresia in front of him, and then looked around, looking at the lush, incredible dense forest.

He gradually became stagnant, and finally no longer had any movements or sounds. Even his breathing and the subtle movement of his eyes stopped completely. The breeze blew through the forest and could no longer blow his hair and the corners of his clothes.

Taran Al turned into a "sculpture" that solidified in a dream.

With his stagnation, everything in the dream finally began to change. A strange and low roar echoed throughout the world, as if infinite and huge things were slowly collapsing. The towering trees gradually lost their color and disintegrated from the canopy. The lush plants on the ground gradually weathered and dissipated, turning into flying smoke.

Heidi looked at all this in shock, then suddenly turned her head to look at Lucresia: "This is a 'curtain'? Not a real dream?!"

"It seems you're doing well in school, Miss Heidi," Lucresia raised her eyebrows, "Yes, as I guess, this is not a real dream, but a protective 'veil' woven above the dream. What we see is Taran Al, but only his temporary mental entity to protect himself, so we cannot awaken him from here anyway-the real dream is hidden deeper."

"Why is this happening?" Heidi was surprised. "I... have never seen such a real protective curtain, which blocks the dreams of the lower level tightly..."

"I have never seen it, and Taran Al is not an expert in the spiritual field. Although he has done some targeted training, in theory he cannot weave such perfect 'protection'," Lucresia shook her head, "but one thing is certain that the weaver of this 'curtain' is trying to hide the deeper things in the dream... If this was really done by Taran Al, then he must have sensed a huge danger after entering the dream..."

She suddenly stopped.

Because the "collapse" of the forest gradually stopped.

Not only did it stop, after a few seconds, the collapse of the entire forest began to reverse - those towering trees were reorganizing one after another, and the dissipated colors quickly returned to the earth. The "curtain" that was about to be broken began to regenerate at an astonishing speed!

"The curtain is reborn!" Heidi immediately exclaimed.

Lucresia looked at Taran Al's mental entity in surprise, but she immediately looked at Taran Al's mental entity - the latter still stood quietly like a sculpture, with no sign of re-activation.

The protective curtain of this dream regenerates, but the "weaver" of the curtain is not Taran Al - it is another force protecting the deep truth of this dream!

When he noticed this, Lucresia suddenly realized two things:

First, in addition to the "elves girl" mentioned by Heidi and Master Taran Al, there is at least a third "dreamer" in this dream, and this dreamer is the real controller of the "disguised dream" in front of him.

Second, the invaders are still nearby, and the source of pollution is here!

The protective "curtain" of dreams is spontaneously reorganized because it senses a huge danger.

Only when danger is suddenly reversed when it has obviously begun to dissipate - judging from the size of the entire forest and its movements during reorganization, the source of this danger is definitely far beyond imagination.

Neither the Annihilists expelled by Heidi or the invaders that Taran Al had solved, they are not the real reason for the closure of this dream!

While Lucresia reacted, Heidi suddenly realized the reason for the regeneration of the curtain: "With Dong XZ in this dream, the invader is still there!"

"Pay attention to the abnormalities around you!"

Lucresia immediately reminded her, and then she began to quickly search for all the suspicious things in her sight, sensed the air flowing, and wanted to find where the "pollution source" that this curtain was trying hard to resist was hidden.

The air, the fragrance of flowers, the sound of the wind blowing through the forest, the sound of water flowing in the distance, the sunshine sprinkled by the canopy of the tree...

Everything is so real, everything is so natural, everything looks nothing unusual.

Which one is abnormal in this dream?

Wait...Sunshine?!

Lucresia was shocked suddenly.

There are countless towering trees and countless lush canopies in this forest, and the purpose of these canopies is to block the sun.

But even with so many tree canopies, the "sunlight" still spreads throughout the forest, making every inch of the corner here particularly bright.

"Sunlight is the invader!"

She reacted instantly and reminded Heidi loudly, who subconsciously raised her head and looked at the dream sky through the gap between the canopy.

Between the layers of tree canopies, there were some gaps of all sizes. Between the gaps, there were the sky and sunshine, and the sun shining in the dream.

The huge and dark twisted tentacles were intertwined, entangled into balls, mixed with countless pairs of huge pale eyes, like terrifying monsters floating in the sky, entrenched in the forest.
