The Divine Hunter Chapter 31: Daydreaming of Novigrad
Kelin Tilly’s life is very regular, as regular as an ordinary person’s.
She would stay in the lobby in the morning, treating insomnia patients introduced by acquaintances. She would close at noon and lie alone by the window sill of the bedroom on the second floor, letting the breeze blow her dark red hair, enjoying tea and snacks. Lazy sunshine.
Then close your eyes comfortably and relax your body and mind.
Afternoon tea is not only a simple enjoyment, but also a required daily homework for her.
Due to her profession, Colin Tilly has been exposed to a large number of strange dreams from different patients, including absurd, ridiculous and terrifying dreams!
The pain, hunger, and beatings the patient endured in her dream, as well as the indescribable haze lurking deep in her heart, were all reflected on her.
Long-term exposure to these embodied negative emotions puts dreamers under tremendous psychological and spiritual pressure all the time.
With no choice but to do so, she must meditate to regulate her body and mind every afternoon.
However, a sudden knock on the door downstairs woke her up.
Kelin Tilly's eyelids twitched and she turned her head, only to see two unfamiliar faces suddenly appear not far from the window sill. A man as strong and capable as a bear, and a handsome man who walked like a cat. He stepped out in a few steps. , standing in front of her house in the blink of an eye.
From top to bottom, she noticed a pair of dark gold vertical pupils.
Women can't help but lose their beauty.
"Damn it! Those white-eyed wolves collected my protection fee and didn't do anything!"
……
"Beautiful lady, are you exercising?" The young demon hunter blocked the escape target at the back of the house. She was facing away from him, with her two slender thighs pointing outside the railing of the second floor balcony. Her agility was incompatible with her graceful figure. Roy's narrow voice made her stiffen.
After a while, Kelin Tilly simply gave up her struggle and climbed back onto the balcony. As her floral dress rose and fell, a light flash of rose red flashed by, feasting the eyes of the two people behind her.
Roy saw the woman's face clearly.
She looks like she is in her twenties, with chocolate skin, shawl hair, a mature and beautiful face, cool clothes, and the bold style of a sorceress, but she does not wear a magical amulet around her neck, and the chaotic energy on her body is also very thin .
Kelin Tilly
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Identity: Dreamer (Through dreams, understand the past and future, and filter out most of the accidental and false information to obtain reliable revelations.)
The observation information was slightly beyond the demon hunter's expectations. The dream diviner's magic power was extremely weak, and his talent as a sorcerer was not much better than his own.
"Like the witch doctor, he has unique talents, but his magical ability is a 'mule' between a donkey and a horse."
……
The woman looked at the witcher nervously, her face was pale, and her voice was hoarse with a little fear, "Are you Lord Chapelle's men?"
"Shapelle?" Roy thought thoughtfully, thinking of the cold man holding the Lamia whip.
When the Witcher and Dandelion passed by Temple Island, they met the leader of the guards of the Temple of Eternal Fire and the security officer of Novigrad.
He has great supernatural powers and is cruel and ruthless. He is responsible for handling all "contraband" in Novigrad, and will never allow these magical creatures that are expressly prohibited by the Eternal Fire to appear in the public eye.
To do otherwise would be remiss of Eternal Fire.
Chapelle's cruel methods have always frightened all the little boys in Novigrad, and the shady dreamers are no exception.
Don’t blame her for being as fearful as a tiger.
But that guy has now reached a tacit agreement of non-aggression with the demon hunters and the Big Three.
"Beautiful lady, I think you misunderstood?" Roy smiled apologetically. It seemed that his uninvited visit really frightened the other party. "We don't want to be Chapelle's lackeys, and we don't mean to offend you. We just want to ask you for a favor."
……
In the lobby on the first floor, the dream diviner was surrounded from front to back by demon hunters and mercenaries.
"Looking for people through dreams, well, it's not that I haven't tried it before, but it's not easy." Kelin Tilly sat on the chair and squirmed her **** restlessly.
After listening to the witcher's explanation, she was certain that he was not one of Chapelle's men.
But this mutant with inhuman features still gave her an unusual sense of oppression, which was more severe than the several veterans she had treated suffering from post-war traumatic syndrome.
Would you kill me if you disagree with me? Kelin Tilly looked away from the witcher's slightly pointed ears and took a deep breath.
"If it succeeds, you will definitely be satisfied with the reward." Roy added more energy, took out a bag and threw it on the table in front of him.
Two hundred crowns, from Todd's savings.
Ding, ding... a pleasant collision sounded.
Kelin Tilly smoothed her hair at the temples and narrowed her eyes as she stared at the money bag. At this time, she decisively forgot about her fear.
Most of the patients she received were just working people at the bottom and did not bring her generous rewards. What's more, he has to pay Butcher Clifford a considerable amount of confidentiality and protection fees every month.
So her life has never been easy.
She also didn't dare to contact the wealthy people in Novigrad.
Security Officer Chapelle prefers those wealthy people with insomnia to pray and donate money to the Eternal Fire instead of superstitious dream divination and "wasting" money here.
The Tilly family has always adhered to the rules and survived in Novigrad.
The money you have in front of you can make a huge difference in your life.
Ask her to buy some nice clothes like a normal woman. She hasn't bought new clothes for two months. This is unbearable torture for a lady who loves beauty.
Kelin Tilly was still a little hesitant.
"I will try my best, but there is no guarantee. You must know that dream divination is not omnipotent, and there are many restrictions... You must at least have established a connection, contact, or some kind of bond with the target you are pursuing. , the more profound the better. Otherwise there is no way to start."
Toad said, "The missing person is my biological daughter, with the same blood flowing in her body. Is this blood relationship strong enough?"
Kelin Tili pondered for a moment, grabbed the money bag and let it slide into the deep groove on her chest, then glanced at the two of them, "Then what are you waiting for? I need to be alone with Mr. Todd, alone. The quiet environment is suitable for creating dreams."
Two minutes later.
The door to the bedroom was closed tightly, and the witcher who was locked outside muttered to himself. .
"Can she successfully find Aisha?" Roy rubbed his chin and walked slowly.
The next moment a gust of wind blew, and the demon hunter clung to the wooden door like a gecko, listening in.
Toad sat on the bed, and the dreamer sat on the chair next to the bed. His warm palms wrapped around his palms gently, and his slender fingers slid over his knuckles, as if massaging him.
The mercenary's eyes were slightly disappointed, as if he had seen a similar warm scene more than ten years ago.
Accompanying my gentle and virtuous wife Colleen.
The person I let down.
"Take a deep breath, relax..." Kelin Tilly stared into the man's sad and guilty eyes, and adjusted the light to be darker and softer,
"I will guide you. First we have to establish a spiritual connection. I will ask some questions and you must answer them. You must answer them honestly and sincerely."
Toad took a deep breath, suppressed the feeling of rejection in his heart, and let go of the psychological defenses established during his long career as a mercenary. He adjusted for about five minutes.
"Okay."
"Describe one of your memories of Elsa. I need the strongest and most complete memory about her. If there is none, you can also describe the most impressive thing you heard from others. Her introduction."
The man's eyes were looking into the distance, memories rolling through his mind,
"My Elsa was born in Novigrad, the sun in the sky..."
"The day she first learned to walk, she vaguely called my name..."
After a quarter of an hour of slowly stating, the man's eyes quietly turned red.
"Control your emotions, don't indulge in sadness," Ke Lin said without changing his expression, and gently placed his palm on the man's forehead, "Now you have to lie down, relax your whole body, hold my hand, and tell me about Aisha. What do you think happened to her, why did she disappear, and where is she now?
While asking, the dreamer lit a pot of spices beside the bed.
White, grass-scented smoke filled the air,
Toad's face became blurred in the smoke. As the corners of his mouth opened and closed, the smoke changed like clouds. His voice became lower and lower, and gradually disappeared.
He closed his eyes and began to breathe regularly.
The dreamer stood up, observed the man's expression, made sure he was asleep, and then took the semi-finished sweater prepared by the dressing table - she started knitting a sweater.
White smoke enveloped the lying and standing shadows, blending them into one.
……
"Call——"
"Aisha! Sister Aisha!"
A clear and urgent female voice woke Todd up, and his eyes quickly went from being distracted to converging. He saw a petite and beautiful girl in front of him, smiling and waving her white hands in front of him.
The outline of her body seemed to be entangled with mist, making it hazy and hard to see clearly.
Around him, he noticed that there were flower baskets filled with flowers, which were also a little blurry.
This is Lucky Cat Flower Shop?
The petite girl looks very familiar.
Toad thought for a while, and something came to his mind. She just met Yalin, the owner of the flower shop, not long ago!
"Didn't you sleep well last night? Is little Aisha thinking about men again?"
"You're the one who wants a man!" Todd opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't control his body at all. "He" laughed twice charmingly, just like a girl, and then turned around and left without looking back. .
What's going on? Am I not sleeping?
My body seems not to belong to me at all.
As soon as his vision changed, Todd found that "he" had left the flower shop. Warm sunlight was shining from the sky, and pedestrians were constantly passing by on the smooth stone road.
The shops in the distance are bustling with activity and a wide variety of products.
Without exception, everything is shrouded in a light mist.
Toad finally woke up.
"I was in a dream! They called me...Aisha, Aisha?!"
He suddenly realized that he was like a ghost attached to his daughter's body, experiencing her daily life on a certain day.
"Dream divination is really magical."
Toad's heart was filled with emotion and complicated and unspeakable emotions for a moment. He never thought that he would meet Aisha again in such a weird way.
Father and daughter, who had been separated for fifteen years, connected in a magical way.
His heart calmed down and he felt contented as never before.
"Aisha, my only relative, you must live!"
Along the way, the little girl bounced and swung her little feet in pointed leather shoes as she walked to the farmer's market in the south. She looked very lively and cheerful, and she had obviously gotten over the pain of losing "all her relatives."
Toad was a little relieved. This was what he expected from the bottom of his heart, that Aisha could live healthily and happily.
He tried desperately to control his body, trying to get a better look at his daughter's face. Did she look like Colleen, or did she look like him?
He wanted to hold her in his arms and put her to sleep just like he did more than ten years ago?
But there was nothing he could do.
Todd can only watch and cannot change even a little bit.
These scenes have become the past, and now, it is difficult to change the past.
……
Aisha walked to the intersection of the busiest street, stopped suddenly, frowned and looked to the side, there was a dark and narrow entrance between a row of tall buildings.
The confusion on the girl's face became more and more serious. She looked at the passers-by around her, but there was no abnormal reaction. However, she seemed to hear something and couldn't help but listen more carefully.
Toad's heart tightened for a moment as he thought of the scene that day.
"No, don't stop, don't turn, keep going forward, my good daughter, please, go!"
——
A strange song came out from the narrow alley, comparable to the voice of a siren. It was ethereal and full of indescribable charm.
Aisha was immediately attracted, and even Todd, as a bystander, was obsessed with it at this moment.
He turned his head as she did, looked towards the narrow alley, and walked over involuntarily.
"Call——"
"No, go! Go away!" Todd finally came to his senses, and an uncontrollable panic surged into his heart. He shouted desperately in his heart, but he could only watch helplessly, Aisha step by step Into darkness.
The dark alley was empty. The young girl lowered her head and walked into the middle with a dull expression like a puppet.
The singing suddenly disappeared...
A red light flashed in the eyes of the two people, and then a man appeared? A crystal clear pendant hangs from his neck, but his body and face are shrouded in a shadow, blurry.
His mouth moved and he uttered an obscure spell.
It seems to be a charity, or an order.
The real murderer, are you the real murderer? !
You bastard, why did you take away my Elsa? !
Toad fell into extreme anger and sadness, and his heart seemed to be twitching.
But neither body nor soul can move.
The girl was frightened and staggered back. Then, the man stretched out his finger and volleyed.
"aecáemm!"
An invisible force acts on Aisha.
She was gagged.
The look on his face was frightened, and his limbs were arched strangely.
The small body rose into the air and landed next to the man.
"Boom——"
The spiral air flow came out of the void, and a square door appeared out of thin air.
There was a strong wind in the alley.
Aisha couldn't help but followed the man and stepped into the door.
…
The world was spinning, and Todd was overwhelmed by dizziness and darkness.
He was trapped in the darkness of death for an unknown amount of time.
Open your eyes again.
Todd enters another scene.
The dark ceiling, the dazzling yellow light, is surrounded by a row of tall square wooden boxes.
Surrounded by wooden boxes are wooden beds covered with white cloth.
He (she) was lying on one of the simple wooden beds. In front of him stood a strong man wearing a dirty, blood-stained apron and a mask. The man held a sharp scalpel and pointed towards him (her) The eyes poked straight at me——
"Ah——"
"Todd!" The witcher rushed into the bedroom like a gust of wind and pressed the mercenary's shoulders tightly.
The latter sat up stiffly from the bed, covering his eyes with sweat all over his body, sobbing and twitching hoarsely, and his chest was beating rapidly as if he was suffocating.
"Man, stop screaming. It was just a nightmare. You are safe now! Tell me, what did you see just now?"
He didn't answer, just yelled and roared manically, then covered his face and howled.
"Elsa, my Elsa...she is no more."
He is like a patient suffering from addiction and becomes unable to communicate.
The witcher turned his attention to Colin Tilly.
The dreamer put most of the sweater he had knitted in his hands into the box behind him.
He rubbed his cheeks tiredly.
She also participated in Todd's dream, seeing everything, her pretty face maintained a look of horror.
Roy used the Yaksi seal to comfort her, and then Lin Tilly came back to her senses and said slowly with lingering fear,
"I witnessed everything that happened on the day Elsa disappeared. Elsa met a man in a narrow alley, who should be a warlock. He restrained her with supernatural power and entered the portal together."
"A man? A warlock?"
Roy's face was as dark as water. This was the last thing he wanted to see.
"Dreams are mixed with truth and falsehood..." The dreamer took a sip of water, took a few more breaths, and analyzed based on past experience, "The murderer's face is blurry and cannot be identified. Identity."
The dreamer glanced at the mercenary with pity.
Watching your last relative, your lovely daughter, being taken away with your own eyes is such a cruel punishment, enough to make a normal person's mind collapse.
Not to mention that strange man.
When she thought of what that man had done, she couldn't help but tremble all over, as if a pair of terrifying eyes were looking at her from an unknown place.
"Can't you see clearly at all?" Roy was disappointed.
"Master, wait for me to take some time to understand and understand... keep repeating that dream," Kelin Tilly said uncertainly, "Maybe I can see the murderer's face clearly!"
Roy nodded~IndoMTL.com~ Then I’ll help you! ”
“If you receive such a large amount of money from two people and have no actual results, wouldn’t it ruin the reputation of the Tili family!” Kelin Tili shook her head, frowning slightly, trying her best to remember,
"By the way, in his second dream, I saw a man wearing an apron and a mask, a room full of corpses, and a scalpel! The man seemed to be..."
"With an apron, a mask, and a scalpel? Is he the coroner?"
Roy thought of what he saw and heard in Elland.
"That's right, it's almost as if that guy is a coroner... working in the No. 1 morgue... So Elsa has..."
Kelin Tilly covered her mouth.
"It's too early to tell, but time is running out," Roy said. "Todd and I have to go to the morgue in Novigrad."
