Chapter 490: Fire Dream

"Doctor, is what you used hypnotic smoke?"

When pushing the door and walking into the bedroom, Xia De asked curiously, but actually was more curious that the doctor who blew out these smoke was fine.

"No, this is my miracle 【Sleeping Dragon Mist】, sometimes I also use it to assist patients in 'hypnotic' diagnosis. Rest assured, he is just an ordinary person, unless we make a loud noise in his ear, otherwise he won't wake up tonight."

The doctor said confidently.

Although Dr. Shi Nai De's luck was poor, his professional level was still trustworthy.

After entering this somewhat narrow bedroom, the two checked the room separately to prevent other dangers when entering the dream later. During this period, Lude Jinweis lying on the bed didn't show any signs of waking up, and even when the two who checked the room sat on both sides of the single bed in the dark, the sleeping man still didn't wake up.

He closed his eyes, and under the moonlight, his face actually carried a ferocious expression. Combined with the terrible burn marks on his face and the large shadow formed by his head on the pillow, this scene was indeed a bit terrifying.

Dr. Shi Nai De believed that the other party was having a nightmare, and this was a good opportunity to enter the dream.

"These burn marks are really serious."

The doctor said in a low voice, and he and Xia De both brought chairs and sat on both sides of the single bed.

Xia De extinguished the light on his fingertips, drank the magic potion given by the doctor to assist in entering the dream. The doctor used a silver rune chain that looked like a lady's bracelet to tie Xia De's right hand to his left hand. On the rune chain, three runes 【Sleep】, 【Rest】, 【Dream】 circulated and repeated. This was an alchemy item.

The doctor didn't need to be so troublesome to enter the dream alone, but to take Xia De into the dream world together, these extra preparations were needed.

After doing these, the people sitting on both sides of the bed in the dark room put their empty hands on Lude Jinweis's forehead one by one.

"Doctor, why does it feel like we are holding some evil ritual?"

Xia De said in a low voice, and worried that Lude Jinweis would suddenly open his eyes and then be scared to death by this scene.

"Detective, don't talk nonsense, now let your spirit relax, I'm going to start entering the dream. If there are no accidents, we should be able to wake up in about ten to fifteen minutes of reality time."

"What if there is an accident?"

Xia De asked again. The doctor looked up at him. In the near-complete darkness with the curtains drawn, he seemed to see some silver light in Xia De's eyes:

"Hm... how worried are you about encountering accidents? But if something unfortunate really happens, the specific time is hard to say, but trust me, detective, I am a professional. Now lie on the bed, close your eyes, keep your body in a comfortable state, very good, one, two, three!"

The spirit gradually became scattered, and the faint pulling feeling seemed to be trying to lead Xia De to a certain place. Xia De didn't refuse this pulling, so his consciousness became more and more blurred.

In a trance, he seemed to be standing on the ridge under the silver moon again, looking up at the vast night sky and the sea of stars. But with the rise of the surrounding temperature, the huge silver moon disk above his head gradually disappeared, and the fire-red light gradually eroded and replaced the quiet scenery of the ridge under the moon.

The crackling sound and the swaying flames gradually became clear.

Xia De, whose consciousness recovered, shuddered, as if he had drilled from the bottom of the water to the surface in an instant.

He breathed heavily and looked around, finding that he was standing on a cold night street, with a house in front of him burning fiercely, as if swallowed by a fire demon. The three-story building was completely ignited, and the heat wave and terrible crackling sound seemed to indicate that it was about to collapse.

In the night, the light of the fire made his eyes almost unable to open.

Dr. Shi Nai De was standing in front of Xia De, raising his palm to block his eyes, squinting at the front, the fire light reflecting on half of the doctor's face:

"Sure enough, it's a nightmare, a fire scene? Matches expectations."

Xia De looked down at his hands, but didn't see those golden cracks:

"I remember you said that as long as I am in a dream, I will..."

【Only in deep dreams will the traces of "Divine Radiance" be exposed. This dream does not belong to you, you can only intervene limitedly, so you cannot expose the essence of your soul.】

It seems that even in someone else's dream, she is still with him.

"Understood."

Thinking in his heart, he continued to look at this fire scene that seemed to burn everything. It was easy to judge that this was a dream. Such a big fire didn't alarm the surrounding neighbors, and observing the burning building carefully, the flames didn't continue to destroy the damaged building, just burning there.

"Doctor, what should I do now?"

Xia De asked softly, looking up at the higher part of the building, and actually saw a black figure flash by in the burning window:

"What is that?"

He thought in his heart, but the special environment of the dream greatly weakened the perception of outsiders, so the voice in his heart didn't give an answer.

"Found it, upstairs... but this dream seems a bit strange, why do I feel there are other things besides us?"

The blue-eyed doctor said a bit surprised. He didn't lead Xia De to rush into the fire scene directly, but summoned the life ring, and the core spirit rune 【Dream】 and the spirit rune 【False Truth】 emitted faint light at the same time.

The use of the miracle caused strange halos to spread from the brass ring to the surroundings, and in the air that originally looked a bit distorted due to heat, some black silk flocculent appeared at this time.

Those black things looked extremely filthy and strange. They traveled in matter and air like phantoms, and trying to touch them only let those silk flocculent pass through the fingers.

"What is this?"

Xia De asked in his heart again, but she still didn't give an answer, because Xia De didn't touch these things at all.

"Doctor, it seems a bit strange here. Are we going to find the master of the dream, or exit and give up now?"

Xia De asked for Dr. Shi Nai De's opinion. The doctor frowned and thought, even sniffing at the burning building in front of him, as if catching a smell:

"No need to exit, different people's dreams indeed have different strange phenomena, not to mention the other party is a gifted person during the awakening period. And, if it were encountering an enemy in reality, I might worry about accidents, but here is the world of dreams, I am a professional."

The extremely strong self-confidence he showed also infected Xia De, and Xia De actually didn't want to give up:

"Then how are we going to break into the fire scene?"

Dangers in the dream will also affect them.

"Leave it to me."

The 【Dream】 spirit rune flashed with spiritual light again. As the doctor recited a convoluted spell, a layer of water film wrapped Xia De. The heat was isolated outside, and at the same time, he felt as if he had become stronger.

"Miracle 【Dream Elf's Blessing】, within one hour of dream body sensation time, scene damage is greatly reduced, and at the same time, the strength of the recipient is enhanced. Also, mention that we outsiders in this kind of dream, in order not to wake up the master of the dream, even if we have ways to control the dream, it is best not to do so. We can exert our Ringed Shushi power, but don't try to use relics. Even if your spirit is enough to simulate a relic, don't use it in the dream, otherwise it will cause the dream to shift to a more weird direction."

The doctor explained the basic rules of dream exploration and walked up the house steps. He grabbed the door handle that was burning hot with his hand, turned it a few times, and turned to Xia De again:

"Detective, you come to open the door. The lock in the dream is harder to open than the lock in reality. If you weren't here, I'm afraid I would have to look for clues around, understand the dream theme and story background, to unlock the first lock."

"Doctor, it sounds like every time you break into a dream, it's like a role-playing game with pre-set rules."

Xia De said, walked up the steps, and pointed at the door lock. He only felt the warm heat, and after slight resistance, the door lock turned and the door was opened. According to the dream theory Xia De understood, the lock in the dream was actually a "heart lock", also within the range of 【Key of the Door】.

The doctor smiled:

"Role-playing? This phrase is quite interesting. But it is indeed like a very real game. Psychological doctors are actually detectives in dreams. But compared to you detectives who investigate the past, detectives who investigate in dreams are slightly safer."

Seeing Xia De successfully open the door lock, the doctor took a deep breath and restored his serious expression:

"Now get ready for battle. Even if there are no intruders other than us in the dream, this nightmare will definitely spontaneously produce some strange things to resist us."

"What if you get hurt in the dream?"

Xia De looked at the fire light in the door and walked in. The doctor followed behind him, and the flames licked the two:

"Loss of spiritual power."

The foyer was blocked by the collapsed burning shoe cabinet and coat rack. The doctor let Xia De, who was walking in front, cut open the things blocking the way.

"What if you die in the dream? Will you die in reality too?"

After passing through the foyer, it was the living room, and the stairs going up were on the other side of the living room. The crackling flames looked extremely terrifying. Everything around was bright light, everything was flames, everything was heat waves. The heat waves distorted the air, making everything incomparably strange.

Xia De was breaking into a fire scene for the first time. Even if this was a fire scene in a dream, it really opened his eyes.

"No, no, detective, don't underestimate me too much. Death in a dream will force an exit from the dream, and then have a headache for several days, during which spiritual resistance is greatly weakened, and the risk of losing control is increased, but you will definitely not die directly."

The doctor said, then pressed Xia De's shoulder to let him not walk so fast:

"Look ahead."

In the burning flames, something like a charred corpse was crawling on the ground. But looking closely, it was not crawling. Its body was facing upward, its hands and feet were folded downward to touch the ground. When Xia De looked at it, this monster used its hands and feet to slap the ground, carrying flames and rushing toward Xia De and the doctor.

"Monsters in the dream will show the fear and thoughts of the dream master. Looking at it this way, Lude Jinweis has seen these people burned to death in the fire three years ago."

The doctor let Xia De retreat, and he walked toward the charred corpse burning in the face. When the two sides were about to collide in three steps, the thin charred corpse with folded hands and feet suddenly jumped up in the fire scene and pounced on the doctor's face.

But the doctor raised his left hand unhurriedly. While a transparent circular shield appeared in his hand, he raised his left hand upward—

Boom!

The pouncing corpse was heavily knocked away by the shield. After hitting the protruding stone brick at the collapsed corner of the living room, it scattered into a group of black ashes and disappeared.

"So weak?"

"This is just the dream of a gifted person, not the dream of a Ringed Shushi."

The doctor's shield dissipated, and he shrugged:

"However, the closer you get to the master of the dream, the stronger the counterattack will be, so you can't really think that it is absolutely safe here." ===== CHAPTER 491 =====

The shield in the doctor's hand dissipated, and he shrugged:

"However, the closer you get to the master of the dream, the stronger the counterattack you will encounter, so you cannot truly assume that this place is absolutely safe."
