Chapter 271: Mercury Snake

"Are you a believer of the Dream?" Mr. Allen felt more relaxed after seeing the Dream Symbol that Klein had drawn.

Every Church has a Dream Angel, so the faith in the Dream Angel is acceptable in all Churches.

"Yes." Klein nodded gently, had Mr. Allen sit in the very center of the ritual array, and then began to pray to the "Supreme Dream."

"Supreme Dream..."

Under Klein's deliberate guidance, Dr. Allen soon fell into a peaceful slumber.

Klein first ended the ritual, then performed the Reverse Four Steps and arrived Above the Gray Fog; divination involving such high-level matters must be done Above the Gray Fog, otherwise it would not be safe enough.

"Divining for Dr. Allen will encounter danger."

The result Klein obtained using dowsing was surprising; there was not a hint of danger at all.

Could it just be a simple nightmare? Klein felt a bit more confident.

"Dr. Allen's nightmare..."

After chanting seven times, Klein entered the dream.

Klein saw an endless deep black and touched something illusory and hazy.

The world suddenly flipped and twisted back; Klein was already standing on a desolate plain, with pitch-black ground beneath his feet.

In the very center of the plain stood a black spire cathedral, and then Klein saw the snake described by Dr. Allen.

It was only at the moment he saw it that Klein realized how lacking Dr. Allen's descriptive words were.

This was a giant silver-white long snake; it had no physical scales, and its body was covered in dense patterns and symbols that formed a wheel connected from head to tail.

These wheels flickered with a certain eerie luster, and the moment he saw this snake, Klein already realized what he was looking at.

"Mercury Snake"! That Sequence 1 Angel described in the Roselle Diary.

Klein, having seen a Sequence 1 Angel, should have fallen into a state of Spirituality explosion, but unexpectedly, looking directly at this "Mercury Snake" did not feel like looking directly at a god at all.

Does He have no malice? Klein suddenly had this thought; it was the only possibility.

The giant silver-white snake slowly lowered its lower body, its pair of red eyes staring fixedly at Klein.

Klein subconsciously took a step back, but he also locked eyes with those blood-red eyes.

In this instant, Klein's mind inevitably flooded with occult knowledge, likely the first few Sequences of the "Monster" Pathway.

But more importantly, Klein obtained information regarding this Mercury Snake.

"Reincarnation... Restart..."

And while Klein was obtaining this knowledge, the "Mercury Snake's" blood-red eyes also reflected Klein's figure.

Only it was not the current Klein, but that "Fool" who sat high Above the Gray Fog.

The "Mercury Snake" nodded gently and slowly withdrew its gaze.

Crack!

The dream shattered, and Klein opened his eyes to see the eternal, unchanging Gray Fog.

"'Mercury Snake,' a 'Monster' once went mad after seeing me, so as a Sequence 1 of that Pathway, He likely discovered the Gray Fog too..."

Klein felt a headache; having his disguise stripped away gave him a deep sense of crisis.

He manifested paper and pen to record the knowledge he had obtained, among which was a very strange symbol.

"The function of this symbol points to that Mercury Snake; can I communicate with Him through this symbol?"

"For the sake of caution, set it aside for now..."

Klein descended from the Gray Fog; Dr. Allen's spirit had already been purified once by the power of the Dream.

Klein seized the time and took out the Arrodes Mirror.

"Supreme Master, have you come to test your humble servant again?" A line of colorful text appeared on the surface of the Arrodes Mirror.

You always manage to come up with different tricks... Klein twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded reservedly.

"Do you know about the 'Mercury Snake'?"

The "Mercury Snake" is already at the level of an Angel, which might exceed the capabilities of Arrodes.

"You are too kind to me! But your humble servant cannot be arrogant!"

"So I have changed the question for you to 'Tell me what you know about the Mercury Snake'."

Klein:...

Klein had truly never seen this kind of situation before!

"There are two existing 'Mercury Snakes': one is an Angel under the Creator, Ouroboros; the other has become the Fate Speaker of the Life School of Thought, Will."

So the one I saw might be one of them? The Creator's Angel should be staying in the Solomon Empire and wouldn't come over, otherwise the "Storm" Lord's lightning might have struck down...

Klein nodded gently, then, with a flicker of Spirituality, he put the mirror away; after all, the question had already been answered, hadn't it?

"Hmm..." Dr. Allen gradually woke up from his slumber, feeling a heartfelt sense of relaxation.

"Your Purification is complete, and you likely won't have nightmares again, but... to be safe, I still need to go to your home and take a look; you know, certain items might cause nightmares."

Klein said sincerely, and the changes in Dr. Allen now made him trust Klein the detective even more.

This was likely the beauty filter effect that came with the Dream; having walked far on the "Dream" Pathway, Klein also possessed a unique charm.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you." Klein prepared a little and returned to his home with Dr. Allen.

Klein met Dr. Allen's wife, a very gentle woman with a slightly bulging belly.

"Is your wife pregnant?" Klein's body stiffened as he asked Dr. Allen.

"Yes, in a few months, my little Will will be born."

Will... Reincarnation... Klein realized something.

"Then your nightmare might stem from your anxiety about the future, worrying that you won't be able to take good care of your child." Klein steered the topic in a reasonable direction.

Dr. Allen nodded thoughtfully, but Klein dared not stay any longer and hurriedly checked the place once before leaving the house.

"Thank you, my friend; you have solved the biggest problem I've had for a long time. I must examine myself to see if I am ready to become a father."

Doctor Allen provided the corresponding payment and sincerely expressed his thanks.

"May Dream watch over you." Klein could only accept it.

Although Doctor Allen worshipped the Evernight Goddess, saying this prayer would not be wrong.

"May Dream also watch over your child."

Hum!

Klein's Spirituality stirred, and in that instant, he was pulled into the dream he had previously divined.

"You actually dared to Curse me?!" A milky, childish voice came from the mouth of the Mercury Snake circling above the church.

Huh? Klein was baffled; he had not expected the Mercury Snake to pull him into a dream for this reason.
