Start with the Readers Chapter 848: Audrey’s dream

"Who is it?" Although Audrey asked aloud, she was sure in her heart that the person outside the bedroom must be Mr. "Tower". After all, there would be no one else who knocked on the door at this time except the other party.

"It's me, Miss Audrey... May I come in?" Abner's thick voice came from outside.

Audrey was taken aback. She didn't expect the other party to dare to answer so loudly... But after waiting for more than ten seconds, she didn't hear the yelling from her servants and bodyguards, let alone Susie's yelling. It is clear that Mr. "Tower" must have used some means to prevent the movement on their side from being noticed by others...

Honestly speaking, Mr. "Tower"'s ability is really scary... Fortunately, although he has a bad reputation, he is still an upright person. ...Before entering my room at night, I also greeted politely first...

That's right, if he is really a wretched person, Xio and Fors wouldn't be so close to him.

As she thought about it, Audrey straightened her clothes, then stood up and said in the direction of the door: "Please come in."

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure passed through the wooden door and entered the bedroom.

"Mr. Tower, it seems that you are very skilled at knocking on the door of ladies' rooms late at night." Audrey turned her eyes slightly, and made a joke, dispelling the "netizens" from meeting in reality. strangeness.

"No, on the contrary, in fact, it's usually the ladies who knock on my window late at night..." Abner replied "sincerely".

It is true after all.

"Hugh or Forsi?" Audrey asked meaningfully. He tried to test Mr. "Tower"'s attitude towards his two friends, and wanted to know which one he liked.

"Both." Abner simply replied, but did not explain much. .

Although Forsi never knocked on the window, she was teleported to her bed...

Audrey, who secretly used the "mind reader" ability, failed to read any of Abner's attitude biases. Knowing that the other party had the means to restrain the "audience" approach, she no longer struggled with this issue, and turned to Asked: "Mr. 'Tower', when did you know that I was 'Justice'?"

I knew it before I crossed over... Abner smiled and said: "Miss Justice, you once entrusted Xio and Forsi to find out about Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingus; A few pages of Russell’s diary that Hugh bought came out of my hand; I was also there when Qilingus assassinated Duke Negan, and I noticed your behavior to report to Earl Hall..."

Before he finished speaking, Audrey pulled out a "polite" smile and laughed at herself: "So I have so many flaws... It's because I thought I was very good at disguising..."

After finishing speaking, she directly brought up the topic and talked about the theme of this "date": "Mr. Tower, can we start exploring the 'collective subconscious sea'?

"In addition, have you completed the item or secret technique that you promised me to develop to travel in dreams?"

Abner nodded slightly, took out a giant dragon scale and handed it to Audrey, and said at the same time: "I have developed a secret technique suitable for you.

"Afterwards, I will lead you to explore the dreams here while teaching.

"As for the scale, it is an item that assists in casting spells, which can increase the success rate of secret spells."

Audrey looked at the scale for a while, and found that it was different from the ugly dragon scales in her warehouse. The surface was crystal clear, dreamlike and beautiful, which was very in line with her aesthetics for similar items.

In fact, when Abner made this item, he specially adjusted its appearance and designed it according to the scale pattern of "King of the North" Urisian...

"Mr. Tower, what do I need to pay for this item and the supporting secret technique?" Audrey thought about it, and felt that it was better to clarify the reward in advance, so as not to worry about it all the time.

Abner was prepared for this, and asked with a smile, "Do you know Suhit Bank?"

"I know... my father is the third largest shareholder of that bank." Audrey knew that this was one of her family's properties after a short thought, but she asked a little strangely, "Mr. Tower, How did you ask this?"

"The reward I want is...to replace Earl Hall's agent at the Suhit Bank." Abner put forward his own request.

According to the information provided by Selo, Earl Hall's agent in Intis is very close to the Delion family, and it is likely that at a critical moment, he will violate the earl's neutral policy and make some decisions privately...

For such uncontrollable factors, of course, they must be eliminated.

Audrey didn't expect Mr. "Tower" to make such a request, so after thinking for a while, she said, "May I ask the reason?"

"Because he may have been bought by someone, which hinders my plan..." Abner did not hide from her, and described the situation of Suhit Bank in detail.

The Surrey family... Mr. "Tower" for that Miss Fanny Surrey? Audrey nodded thoughtfully, then smiled, lifted the hem of her skirt, saluted and said, "I will try my best to help you accomplish this goal."

This is both for Mr. "Tower" and to help Dad. After all, if that Mr. Manager really intervenes in the struggle between the big Intis family, Dad will also be passive because of this... Naturally, the sooner such moths should be cleaned up, the better! Audrey thought so.

After talking about this matter, Abner stopped talking, and said with a gentle smile: "Miss Audrey, can I have the honor to invite you to a dream adventure?"

After speaking, he made a standard dancing invitation.

Audrey pursed her lower lips, took the blue cloak hanging on the coat rack next to her, put it on her body, and put her palm on Abner's hand.

Then, the surrounding scenery changed. The familiar dressing table and bed had long since disappeared, replaced by a piece of grass, and hounds were running fast on the grass, chasing a fox.

Among them, a golden retriever ran first, and she was far behind the other hounds...

This is not the real world... this is... Susie's dream? Audrey made a judgment instantly, and was surprised that she stayed awake without using any means.

"The first lesson of this exploration of the secrets of dreams is how to stay awake in a dream..." Abner's voice sounded in her ear, and he explained the principles and principles of lucid dreaming to her in a simple and simple way. some tricks.

Audrey nodded while listening, and at the same time looked at Susie who was constantly winning "victories" on the grass, thinking: It seems that Susie has always been very concerned about her being eliminated in the "Fox Hunt" training... ...Well, as a "psychiatrist", as Susie's good friend, I will have to counsel her well when I get back.

——Susie is not a qualified hound, so she became a gift from Earl Hall when he bought the foxhound.

Abner didn't care what Audrey was thinking. After explaining this part of the knowledge, he walked to the edge of the grassland and came to a "door"—that was the dream "Entrance and Exit".

Abner held Audrey with one hand. Hold the handle with one hand, twist it gently, and pull it back.

The corridors of the Hall family castle came into their sight immediately.

Valley

The main building of this castle has a history of hundreds of years, and many places still retain the characteristics of the past, especially in the corridor part-it has no gas wall lamps, and the walls are inlaid with silver or copper The cast candlesticks, with candles of varying numbers placed on them, exude a dim yellow light, illuminating the entire corridor indistinctly, giving people a feeling of being haunted at any time.

Even these things were reproduced in the dream... That means, this is actually the collective subconscious of everyone in the manor... Well, everyone including Susie? Each room represents a dream? Audrey glanced left and right, made some guesses in her heart, and asked Abner for confirmation, and finally got an affirmative answer.

Then, while talking about the spell model for entering the sea of ​​collective subconscious, Abner led Audrey to walk on the carpet that continued to extend under his feet, and soon came to several doors that made Audrey have a strong desire to explore. in front of the gate.

This is Dad and Mom's bedroom, this is Hibbert's bedroom, this is Annie's room...

The classic doors with reliefs, under the dim candlelight, look extraordinarily mysterious, making people want to know what is hidden behind them.

Audrey was eager to explore the spiritual world of the owner behind each door.

But faintly, she felt repulsed by such a move.

At this time, Abner's voice sounded again:

"In dreams, you must know how to restrain yourself and respect others.

"Greedily exploring the hearts of others, digging for privacy and secrets, will only be able to eat back at yourself in the end!

"This is a very simple truth: everyone has more or less dark and bad thoughts, but they are well controlled and do not let them affect their own behavior. Now, if you still insist on digging out these thoughts and digging out the ugly part under the mask, you will be very easy to be disappointed in human nature, and be infiltrated by all kinds of negative consciousness...

"It's okay for us to be low-level now, but when we gain divinity, we will gradually become crazy without knowing it.

"So unless necessary, don't dig out the secrets deep in other people's hearts...

"The reason why I chose Susie as the starting point of this 'journey' just now is also because her heart is relatively simple, without any dark side or privacy..."

While Abner warned, he also introduced the magic structure of how to penetrate into the isolated island of other people's hearts in the dream secret art.

Audrey, who had similar feelings before, nodded frequently, but said with a strange face after the other party's explanation: "Mr. Tower, you seem to know a lot about Susie..."

These words are not in the right flavor... Abner stopped, looked at Audrey a few times, and then stepped forward again, and said casually: "Actually, I know you very well."

"What do you know about me?" Audrey followed her steps and asked in surprise.

"For example, the story of the beautiful girl detective Audrey and her assistant Susie..." Abner said seriously.

Audrey's face froze, and she blurted out, "How do you know this?" In her impression, she only had a chat with Susie.

At this moment, Abner pulled Audrey, who was wearing a blue cloak, along the corridor to the end.

And here is Audrey's own room.

"Of course I know it from here..." Abner pointed to the carved door of the room and said with a smile.

"Why is there my room?" Audrey asked puzzled.

"The exploration of the lady in the crystal cave you met last time was the 'collective subconscious sea' that entered from the edge of your own dreams...

"Naturally, you have to repeat your previous route this time." Abner replied with a smile.

"That is to say... in reality, I actually fell asleep?" Audrey finally realized that it was only the spirit body that entered the dream.

"Don't worry, I put you back on the bed and covered you with a quilt..." Abner said "kindly", "Now this door is for you to open, using the'secret technique I just taught you ' to complete."

I don’t feel at ease when you say that...Pursing her lower lip, Audrey knew that this was just Mr. Tower’s “bad taste”, so she didn’t really care about it. She cares more about herself now What will I dream of...

I hope it's not too childish, or I will be made fun of by Mr. "Tower" again...

After taking a few deep breaths, Audrey operated the secret technique in her palm according to the teaching she had received before, and then held the door.

As the wooden door opened, the scene inside was gradually revealed.

Inside the door, Audrey held up the torch and gave an impassioned speech to the crowd. Then he led a group of people like a hero. The two princesses who left...

The face of the invading demon looks a bit like Abner.

Seeing this scene, Audrey couldn't help covering her face.

"It turned out to be a dream of a 'hero'... There's nothing shameful about it...but next time the 'villain' should be replaced by another actor..." Abner nodded, and said "tactfully".

Audrey calmed down and analyzed with a serious expression: "This may be because I have always been envious of your title of 'Hero Detective', so I subconsciously want to surpass you~IndoMTL.com~ The 'reflection' in the dream...In fact, I respect you very much...Mr. 'Tower'."

More than me? Judging by the posture in the dream, you actually want to trample me under your feet, right? And those two "princesses", if you look closely, they look a lot like Hugh and Forsi... Abner glanced at Audrey who was still "seriously" analyzing, but didn't let it go.

Next, when the two of them came to the edge of this dreamland, above a cliff.

Looking outside, the gray void spreads, and the depth below seems to have no bottom.

Last time, Audrey relied on her own realization of the ladder to penetrate into the sea of ​​collective consciousness... But this time, Abner taught her the last structure of the secret technique:

The projection of the mind dragon appears!

It stands to reason that, unlike Abner, who has a demigod-level "bone dragon", it is almost impossible for Audrey to manifest the phantom of the "psychic dragon" by herself... That's why Abner gave Her beautiful dragon scale serves as a medium.

And this dragon scale was actually provided by Miss Closferia in a friendly way.
