Chapter 1694: Demon in the Dream

The water was green, the rainy sky was black, and coupled with the thick fog that was comparable to the spatial confusion period in the normal world, this oppressive and terrifying atmosphere told the outsiders from the beginning that this dream was unusual.

There was no Megan beside him, nor Audrey, only Xia De standing up from the pier alone. "Is this in a dream now?"

【Yes. This is their dream, not that you have entered another island.】 "That's good."

Although Xia De didn't understand dream-type abilities, he had communicated with the doctor, so he knew that dreams reflect the state of spirit and soul. What he saw at this moment was enough to explain how much pressure Megan and Audrey were under.

They probably hadn't been relaxed since they came into contact with the prophecy of bloodline.

Xia De took a deep breath and looked at his hands again. This was not a deep dream, so the "divine radiance" did not appear. So his little finger shook twice, and the golden silk thread appeared in the air. Before dreaming, the two had considered the situation of being separated, so the current situation was not very unexpected.

"Let's see what kind of dream Megan and Audrey have constructed."

The golden silk thread pointed to the direction of the small path in the woods. After entering the town where the dream became more bizarre along the pitch-black small path, the silk thread continued to point Xia De to the south, guiding him to the Edwards mansion located on the hill.

The island in the dream, except for being gloomy and terrifying, was not much different from the real island, so there was no need to worry about getting lost. After successfully arriving at the locked mansion, Xia De tapped the door lock of the mansion lightly, but nothing happened:

"Is the rule in the dream that you can't force the door open?"

He had encountered similar situations when dreaming with the doctor. Xia De thought for a moment, and shouted toward the house with lights on in the dark fog:

"Hello, is anyone there? I'm here to visit Miss Megan Edwards." There was no reaction, so Xia De shouted again:

"Okay, I said it wrong. I'm here to visit Miss Megan Edwards and Miss Audrey Edwards... in no particular order."

The words fell, and the door lock popped open automatically. Xia De muttered a sentence in his heart that no one could hear, and after entering the courtyard, he came to the window. It was pitch black outside, and the room was brightly lit, but he couldn't see the situation inside from outside the window.

Knowing that he couldn't peek from the outside, Xia De knocked on the door and explained his purpose again. The room door opened automatically, allowing Xia De to enter the room that was also filled with thick fog.

The room was brightly lit, and the furniture and furnishings were all there, but there was no atmosphere of any living person. The "dangerous home" depicted in horror novels was probably like this, which reflected Megan and Audrey's fear of the concept of the "Edwards family" itself.

Without checking the direction pointed by the silk thread on his little finger, Xia De walked directly to the dining room on the first floor where the Edwards family tree was located.

Outside the window was a terrifying dark night with thick fog, which made the room look even brighter. Only the room where the dining room was located had no fog, and the candlesticks and kerosene lamps placed on the long dining table made the dining room look even brighter.

When Xia De pushed open the dining room door, the owners of the dream were already waiting for him here.

By the window, the girl in a black long dress looked at the night outside, and her melancholy face was reflected in the glass. At the other end of the long dining table away from the door, the girl, also wearing a black long dress and white lace gloves, put her hands together on the table and looked up at Xia De.

Their clothing and appearance were exactly the same; they were both the owners of this dream.

Xia De held the doorknob and looked at this scene. So the girl standing by the window also looked at Xia De from the reflection of the window glass:

"Do you have any questions?"

The two said together, which made the scene look like it was happening in a horror novel.

Xia De nodded and pointed to himself:

"Why are you two wearing beautiful evening dresses, but only gave me ordinary clothes."

The girls obviously didn't expect Xia De to ask this, so the girl by the window waved her hand at Xia De, and Xia De's clothes changed from casual clothes to a black formal evening suit.

"Okay, actually, my own clothes are more comfortable."

Xia De said with a smile, and the clothes on his body changed back to their original appearance. Although this was not his own dream, thanks to his powerful soul, he could still do small things like changing clothes.

He entered the door and closed it:

"So you decided to tell me about you now? 'Yes.'"

They said together, their overlapping voices sounding like echoes:

"This is a good opportunity; it can better explain the current situation in the dream. The ancestor has already shown his figure, and the secret of the Edwards family has gradually affected the entire material world. Some things must be explained to you in advance... You don't seem to be that surprised?"

"I knew some things in advance; my perception is very powerful."

He sat at the other end of the long table, looking at the two ladies standing and sitting in turn. Their appearance in the dream was consistent with their appearance in the real world, and they were all so young and beautiful:

"Let me say first, my understanding of you. Megan and Audrey are actually both you. The past mental trauma and soul discomfort come from the fact that both of you exist in the same body. After all, a body can only have one soul; this is the normal situation."

The two ladies looked at him with pursed lips, and Xia De continued:

"Discovering this point is actually not difficult; you are ultimately different. Two-in-one, this description of you should be quite appropriate, right?"

He sighed:

"What I am not sure about now are two points. First, why exactly did your souls enter the same body? Second, whether your souls have completely fused."

"The soul entering the same body, I will tell you after waking up from the dream." The girl sitting at the other end of the table said:

"As for whether they have fused... it's better to say, we have never been separated."

The girl by the window walked toward the girl sitting, and the two held hands together, and then turned into one body in a burst of light. Or rather, turned into a strange appearance with one body but two heads.

Even the beauty of the witch could not cover up this horror

"I have seen things far more terrifying. Besides, this isn't what your souls actually look like, is it?" Xia De shook his finger:

"Based on my initial assessment, your souls are in a stage of being one entity while maintaining independent consciousness. Showing me this current form is just to illustrate that 'there is me in you, and you in me.' If your souls were truly as strange as they appear right now, your bodies could not possibly remain normal. The fundamental theory of Ringed Shushi: the soul and the body influence each other."

That is why the Outlander has gradually become more handsome.

The relationship between Megan and Audrey is completely different from that of Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy, or Helen and Grace. They are definitely not the same person, but in a strict sense, it is also difficult to call them two separate people. The only thing Xia De can be certain of is that Megan and Audrey do indeed have independent consciousnesses, and are not the product of a split personality.

The situation of the two is not as complex as that of Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy, because their souls are already relatively stable. They do not possess the ability to completely merge into one like the Princess and the writer, but it is clear they cannot be separated either.

"Please answer: do you think we are one person, or two people?"

The two heads merged together, causing her appearance in the dream to change into that of a normal person.

"Two people."

Xia De said without hesitation:

"I firmly believe that you are two people."

Megan and Audrey finally blossomed into a smile:

"If it weren't for the fact that our situation is only known to that friend of the Thirteenth Ring, I would have almost thought just now that you had investigated us in advance before meeting me."

Xia De asked deliberately:

"Then why don't you think that I heard about you from that friend of yours of the Thirteenth Ring, and then approached you on purpose?"

The girl with brown shoulder-length hair blinked:

"Absolutely impossible, because she... doesn't like men. Yes, she is not like me."

She stood up and walked toward Xia De; the sound of her high heels beneath her black evening dress tapped against Xia De's soul with every step. She finally arrived in front of Xia De and said very earnestly:

"You told me about your past this morning, and before I reveal my final secret, I want to tell you some things about myself as well."

This dream was as real as reality, and those eyes representing the Witch were so powerful: "Do you think I am strange like this?"

"Why strange? I'd say it's quite interesting." 【Or quite...】

"Don't go on!"

Xia De stopped her from speaking in his heart, then said to Megan:

"I know other girls who have a similar situation to yours; I can introduce you to them when there is time."

"Really, just how many types of girls do you know?"

She pursed her lips and placed her hand on Xia De's chest:

"Answer me one last time: even if I am like this, even if I might not be human, even if my soul is so strange, are you still willing to protect me and accompany me to witness the family secret?"

"Actually, once you recover to the Eleventh Ring, I wouldn't be able to beat you... Of course I am willing; I am a person who keeps his promises." He nodded gently, and the master of the dream delivered the verdict:

"Yes, you are not lying."

She wrapped one arm around Xia De's neck and pressed her other hand against his cheek, kissing him just as she had on the pier. The contact between the spiritual bodies in the dream allowed Xia De to further confirm the state of her soul. But before Xia De could fully understand everything, a third and fourth hand "snatched" Xia De's head, followed by another identical face:

"Don't forget about me."

New red lips made contact with Xia De, and Xia De closed his eyes, trying his best not to think about how they could grow four hands and two heads while standing so close together.
