Under the dark night.

In the empty bathroom.

The smile of the boy in the mirror flew in a flash and turned into a slightly surprised expression again, as if the smile had never appeared on that face.

Anle is no stranger to the boy he saw.

What is reflected in the mirror is neither his body in reality nor his strange body to others.

Instead, it should have existed only in the past and had not been locked up in that place for three years. It should have developed according to the ordinary life trajectory. The happy age of sixteen!

Even the clothes on her body were as worn as Anle remembered, like a white and white trousers, with red marks left by chains on her hands and feet.

‘This is a dream.’

It is not difficult to judge this point by Anle, nor is it difficult to guess - this is probably a method of [Ghost].

Even though it is not easy to understand, the relationship between ghoul and dreams has been mentioned in the records of Anle's reading about [Ghoul] without exception.

The two seem to have no connection, but they are closely linked together.

Since it is a dream, it is not surprising that any abnormal situations occur here.

It is natural that the image and reality presented in the dream differ.

However, Anle couldn't help but wonder: 'When did I get caught?'

He clearly remembered that he returned to the bedroom as usual and then lay on the bed to sleep.

‘Is it in that alley?’

After carefully recalling the experience of this day, Anle realized that the only abnormality was the special warning sign that arose in the heart in that alley.

I think it was probably at that time that the ghoul touched him somehow.

‘So, I’m probably not the only one who falls into this dream.’

‘I guess the entire group and Xia Bingxin were pulled into here.’

Anle gathers his thoughts and knows that he has more important things to do now.

He first tried to summon tentacles.

The process is a little difficult than usual, as if tentacles had to penetrate a certain film before they could come to this world, but at least they appeared beside Anle.

These cute little guys, like domestic cats, poured intimately onto Anle's cheeks when they were summoned, rubbing the ends of their tentacles hard, expressing their joy.

And when they see them appear, peace can't help but relax a little.

‘In this cold and terrible dream world, only these tentacles can bring some warmth.’

Anle tried again to [distortion heal] to see if he could get rid of his dreams by extracting filthy and rational mind.

However, as he expected, there was no filthy mind to extract.

Because, this is a dream.

It's just another normal activity equivalent to the brain, not the madness recognized by the church.

Then, Anle began to try to gradually sink his consciousness.

Even if you can feel the slight resistance, you will soon dive into a deep sea.

When he opened his eyes again, Anle saw towering walls, weird murals, and the cool nun... His church was revealed before his eyes.

And the church in front of you is clearer and more real than usual?

No matter what, when you come to this familiar place, you will feel at ease and feel confident in your heart.

He came to Serey and asked directly: "How much do you know about dreams and ghouls."

After the last "homicide" incident, the two of them kept silent about the incident in a tacit understanding, as if they had never happened before. However, Anle also clearly felt that the relationship between Selei and him was closer than before.

"Ghost?"

Selei's expression was a little confused: "What is that? Listening to the name, it's like an inferior undead, I have no impression of it."

Anle: "…"

He could probably guess that the reason why Serey had no impression was that the ghoul was too low-level, and it had no value to be remembered.

"But dreams are a very wonderful place..."

Sele spent some time explaining to Anle what she knew about dreams.

Including some key points, taboos, and possible causes of dreams.

Finally, Selei's fingers moved slightly, and a small pinch of brown and gray hair broke down in response.

She handed the hair to Anle: "Father An, please carry it with you, it may be helpful to you."

Anle was surprised: ‘Does Selei's hair have magical effects?’

The next thought that emerged from him was - maybe he should have tried to take advantage of the emergence.

However, Anle was worried that Selei was so angry that he touched him like he did last time, which would ruin his innocence. That would be bad, so he did not say this.

‘Oh, these days, it’s rare for bosses like me who need to prevent being implicitly ruled by employees.’

*******

Then, Anle found Ji Ya.

With his feeding these days, Ji Ya has changed from two drops of half a source of blood to five drops of blood, which is a huge improvement.

Anle asked her about ghouls.

The result was the same as Serey, who thought this kind of guy was too low-level and had never heard of it.

At this moment, a question could not help but emerge in Anle's heart.

To be fair, he didn't think that ghouls were such high-end monsters. Compared to the big dark horse, Mother Wu, and His bone finger... they were more than just a little worse.

‘But it is such an existence. How did God pull me into a dream without knowing it?’

Anle can't think of the answer to this question for the time being.

But this did not prevent him from taking action.

Soon, Guangtai and Chen Ye's phantom appeared in front of Anle.

It can be clearly seen that the two of them looked more dazed than usual, as if they were trapped in some special state.

‘As a matter of course… they were also pulled into the dream.’

‘And now, it seems impossible to communicate?’

Anle speculated that these two people might not realize that they were dreaming, and their brains were in the gap between dormant and active, and their subconscious mind was controlled by their subconscious mind.

*******

After collecting enough information, the consciousness of peace returns to reality.

The waves of weakness that came from his body meant that almost all the gifts he had disappeared, and now he was just an ordinary sixteen-year-old boy.

Anle clenched her fists, and her heart was filled with indescribable emotions: ‘I haven’t experienced this feeling for a long time.’

However, he was not panicked.

From Serei, Anle had already obtained the knowledge he wanted.

The so-called dream is a world formed by the human brain under the influence of a certain special soul power.

Unlike ordinary people or dreams on the earth in their previous lives, the dreams in this world have some real attributes.

Due to the particularity of the soul, the extraordinary person can still master some of his power in his dreams.

And the core of retrieving this power lies in... imagination!

The deeper the understanding of extraordinary power, the more imaginable it is, the more specific the existence it can be revealed, the more power it can regain.

Anle closed her eyes and thought.
