Chapter 1781: Soren Green's Dream

~11 min read 2,087 words

"The doctor has a problem?"

Xia De looked at the brown-haired girl in confusion: "Is there anything strange about him?"

Audrey, seeing that Xia De's expression didn't look like he was faking it, said as briefly as possible:

"Does he know a bit too much about demons? This is the Sixth Era. Although evil spirit demons can occasionally appear, the probability is about the same as the appearance of angel-level relics. Does such a 'Demon Hunter' really exist in this era? You know my seat in the Council, but I feel that even my knowledge of those evil spirits is not as good as your friend's."

After finishing, she added:

"Sorry, I'm not questioning your friend. I can see that he genuinely wants to help us catch that demon, but..." Xia De shook his head slightly:

"I thought something was wrong. So that's what you're talking about. Don't worry, I can fully trust the doctor, Audrey. I know what I'm doing. As for the doctor's affairs, that is his own personal secret; you don't need to think about investigating it. After tonight, please forget who came to help us; this is not important. Someone once said that the power of sin is also power, not to mention that the doctor is just an ordinary Ringed Shushi who just happens to know a bit more."

"Sin is also power" was said by "Desire".

"Very good. Now, this dream has not been invaded by any other power or soul besides the two of you. Now, relax a little; this journey won't be very long. You can treat this dream as a game. The pocket watch hands represent the distance to the destination and the possibility of encountering danger. Having made so many preparations, the possibility of problems is very small."

"Megan also said that when she actively enters dreams in the Green Lake area, the dreams are always dim and gloomy."

Mr. Xia De said very cautiously, not getting a single word wrong.

"Very good. As long as you two hold on to these two points, the rest of the matter will be fine."

This was the mental suggestion the doctor had set in advance to ensure that Mr. Soren Green could remain clear-headed in the dream.

Mr. Xia De asked curiously. Although he had been trained by the doctor in the basic knowledge of dreams, his understanding of dreams was still quite superficial.

The two great witches said.

"No, it's not that simple. Look, where exactly are we now?"

The doctor's voice came. He was sitting on the right side of Green, having taken off his hat and placed it on the table. The dim light shrouded most of his face in shadow, with only his blue eyes carrying some light, but the doctor didn't care about that.

The coffin was sealed, the lid quite flat, with lines of secret texts of the Dreamland that had been lost since ancient times written on it. Afterward, the three coffins were connected to each other by white iron chains. The three segments of chains ensured that the three coffins formed a triangle.

Confirming that preparations were ready, Green Lake and Miss Sylvia raised their hands, letting the coffins rise slowly and then fall into the water. Ripples spread in circles toward the surroundings, forming a translucent silver ring of light due to the influence of the water surface ritual.

"I must follow you at all times; no matter what happens, you cannot go off alone."

And as his voice fell, the middle-aged man holding the menu was in a trance for a while, then supported the table with one hand and almost couldn't stand steady.

"I want the following: sun, daisy, lipstick, fat cat, smoked salmon."

Green Lake sent out a signal. The girl left in the city was already prepared to inform the church that something big would happen at Green Lake in a while. And Miss Sylvia pulled out a strand of hair and blew it gently; the white hair flew to a high place with the night wind on the lake surface. At the moment it was level with the mast, it merged into the fine dark golden grid that flashed across the sky.

"Doctor, please, you must not say such things."

The arrangement of the ritual was actually not troublesome; the real difficulty was how to counter the attacks from the island after the plan succeeded. The group was busy from noon until evening, and after a hurried dinner, they conducted the final safety check.

"Pay attention to vigilance."

As usual, he greeted the boy and the puppy in the trash can, and after entering the hotel from the main entrance, Xia De first went to find the doctor who also lived on the third floor. The doctor was planning to go out with that glowing bottle:

"Yes, my dream. However..."

"Do you like rainy nights? Look outside; this rain is really heavy."

"But the location of the door we are looking for is in the old Edwards mansion on the central island of Green Lake. That place is not close to this hotel. I thought that even if the starting point of the dream wasn't the pier of the central island, at least it would be on a boat on the lake."

After the sun completely fell below the horizon, the moon hung behind the dark clouds, and the galaxy was obscured by dark clouds. Tonight's operation was about to officially begin.

After 8 PM, Miss Sylvia arrived at the cruise ship with her three mid-tier followers according to the original plan to meet with Green and Green Lake. But besides those three young ladies, Margaret had actually followed along.

The doctor said to Green, then stated what he wanted:

"Start the timer."

In this way, there were already 11 high-tier Ringed Shushis and over 30 mid-tier ladies on the cruise ship, not counting Green, Doctor Schneider, and the two great witches. A team with such strength would probably have no problem even landing on the island again. "Yes."

"This is the scene that left the deepest impression in my memory."

All defense and reconnaissance rituals were opened, and the relics to be used were already in place. All that remained was waiting.

Green immediately reached out and summoned, and the silver sword 【Night Watchman】 indeed appeared in his hand. Seeing the doctor instinctively dodge, he knew that the doctor beside him was not disguised:

Under the water surface, the shaking when the coffin touched the lake bottom gave Green the signal. He closed his eyes, and the magic potion he had drunk in advance successfully led him into the dream. While the demon runes inside the coffin flashed with ghostly light at a breathing-like frequency, Green held the 【Night Watchman】 in his hand, letting his consciousness completely enter someone else's dream.

"Is the hotel owner here? We want to order food."

Tifa and Margaret each held a pocket watch and pressed the button on the top of the watch.

"I am Miss Bernice's apprentice. Now that the teacher hasn't come yet, I think it's necessary for me to take her place to participate in this important operation. Please don't treat me as a princess. Since I have decided to become the teacher's apprentice, I will definitely do what an apprentice should do."

He looked at the surroundings in surprise, and then looked at his hands incredibly:

The blonde princess explained her intentions very well:

Although considering that Miss Galina had been very busy recently, this matter didn't let her participate, but the Duchess still let Tifa bring two high-tier ladies to help at 5 o'clock. Green also said.

"It doesn't matter if it rains; let's set off now. Although it has been emphasized once in reality, please repeat the key points that follow."

Saying this, the doctor's hand suddenly waved in front of him. After a block of less than a second, when Mr. Green saw what was in front of him again, the surroundings were already the lake surface in the night rain. Green and the doctor were holding umbrellas, and the doctor also handed him an umbrella, while under the feet of the three was a dilapidated wooden boat automatically sailing toward the white fog.

Thus, the witch nodded and hugged Xia De's arm, looking with him at the island shrouded in fog.

Green added a sentence, and the doctor nodded:

"Next, before seeing that door, Doctor, you will not take action; I will handle the battle."

"Then how are we going to land on the island? Do I need to imagine a carriage and go to the pier first?"

Mr. Soren Green, as the owner of the dream, was not beside the two in the projection of the dream world. However, there was no need for them to actively search. The doctor, who was more comfortable in the dream world, called out against the background of the sound of rain outside the door:

"It seems that the place I selected is not bad; your friends have set up the ritual very correctly. In this dream, we have the following privileges: 100% restoration of spells and wonders in reality, no materials needed for spellcasting, the relics at hand can be manifested, and there is no need to worry about harming the owner of the dream. Except for you and me, any supernatural power will be suppressed."

"I certainly don't like rain; there are no guests when it rains."

Bill Schneider looked carefully at the surroundings. As the leader of the ritual, he could observe more things than Green:

The doctor

shook his head, tapped the table twice with his finger, and a pocket watch appeared out of thin air. He picked it up and took a look; the pocket watch had only one hand, which was pointing at "1" at this time. He tapped the table again, and an identical pocket watch appeared and fell into Green's hand:

"Detective, for the world of dreams, distance is not a problem."

Three coffins were placed on the deck of the cruise ship, the largest of which was prepared by the doctor, while the other two were temporarily made on the ship in the afternoon. But except for the size, the appearance of the three wooden coffins was almost exactly the same. Densely packed demon language runes were carved on the inner walls of the coffins, while fine straight marks were carved on the outside of the coffins, and then treated gold threads were embedded in the marks.

"Guests, what would you like to eat? Look at this damn weather; would you like a cup of hot tea to warm up?"

As the voice fell, Mr. Soren Green straightened up and appeared behind the previously empty counter. He walked toward the two with a smile, holding a menu in his hand:

The girls on the deck jumped off the deck and started to open up at the side of the ship. Their high heels touched the water surface, and ripples like ink marks influenced each other, spreading out the traces of the ritual hidden in the water surface.

"This is actually inside a dream?"

Mr. Soren Green, who had made preparations, drank the sleeping potion, held the 【Demon Hunting Seal】 borrowed from Green, and lay into that specially made coffin. The seal was used to ensure his life safety. And Green and the doctor entered the other two smaller coffins respectively.

"How could it be here?"

"Look, he really has the deepest impression of this place." Mr. Green immediately shook his head:

The air carried the smell of damp soil, the outside of the hotel was a dark night, and the pouring rain cast a gloomy tone on this dream. There were no other guests on the first floor of the entire hotel, and there was no one behind the counter. The gas lamp on the wall emitted a dim light like a horror story, and the dry air made people feel extra uncomfortable:

As if a large hole had been opened at the bottom of the coffin, Green fell from the hole toward the bottomless abyss, his consciousness gradually sinking. He had visited the world of dreams many times, so after his body fell lightly from a high altitude, he first looked around to confirm the environment, and then found that he was actually sitting at a table near the counter on the first floor of the Green Lake Hotel. ===== CHAPTER 1782 =====
