Xia De was thoughtful:
"Get ready, huh? No problem."
"Of course, it's not just you who have gained something, but me too."
The doctor smiled and said:
"I've already dealt with the corrupted gardener corpse you brought. How about we go to the memory of the dead while we have time? Maybe there will be something to gain. Of course, it won't It takes too much time, after reading the memory, we can go to have lunch together, and then talk about the preparations for the fight against 'Goethe'."
It is not difficult to enter the memory of the corpse corrupted by the demon. The doctor brought a copper water basin, put the water basin on the bonfire in the fireplace, and waited for the water to boil. Afterwards, he took out two glass bottles containing a pure black eyeball, and handed one of them to Xia De, and the two dripped their own blood into the bottles respectively.
The eyeball in the bottle immediately began to spin, and when the color of the blood stain faded, they poured the eyeball and the slippery liquid in the bottle into the boiling water basin together. Immediately, some faint smelly blue smoke diffused out, and soon enveloped the entire room.
The two of them found a place to lie down indoors respectively. The doctor lay on the magnificent leather chair behind the desk, while Xia De lay on the sofa. Seeing Xia De lying down, Mia immediately jumped onto his chest, and then watched Xia De condescendingly close his eyes and enter the dreamland.
Shade and Dr. Schneider have been in more than one dream together, so they are very experienced in this. Only this time, when he realized that he was dreaming, he immediately felt something was wrong with the surrounding scene.
In the dream, I felt a cold feeling, and the sky was dark above my head.
Looking around, this is undoubtedly the Oxenfurt Manor in the Randall Valley, and the more precise location is outside the fence gate of the manor. The time is night, but there always seem to be white shadows dancing on the edge of the field of vision in the night. Looking in from the fence gate, the semi-deserted manor reveals a strangeness in the silent night. Looking up at the sky, among the three moons, the red moon and the yellow moon each have a huge eye that keeps blinking in the center, as if looking for something, and the silver moon has turned into a strange closed-eyed eye. human face.
The stars were dim, and the few stars in the sky joined together into a complete Carson Rik sentence:
"You're going to die, I'm watching you!"
Shad wondered what horror story he had entered.
"The alienation is really serious."
At this time, the doctor's voice came, and Xia De noticed that the doctor was beside him. Xia De's clothes were still the same, and the doctor changed into a more like a detective's outfit.
"I am good at the power of dreams. Is it normal to be able to change clothes at any time in a dream?"
The doctor said, and then introduced the surrounding situation:
"The original scene in the dream is definitely not like this, but because of the torture of the soul and body, the memory has also changed, so that the scene we see now is formed. What a poor guy. He must have been tortured before and after his death. A lot of sins."
"I have not seen the soul of the gardener."
"Probably still imprisoned in the manor you mentioned. Since the body is made into a demon ghoul, it makes no sense to consume the painful soul directly."
The doctor pushed the fence door in front of him, and with a slight squeak, the door was pushed open:
"Let's go, look at this last memory before death."
Even the best horror writers would probably not be able to describe the scene in the manor courtyard at this time. Bloodstains of unknown origin flowed on the cobblestone-paved walkway, the laughter and whispers of crazy women continued to be heard from the surrounding bushes, and the cold night wind mixed with the smell of corpses permeated the surroundings. The light in the window flickered constantly, and a figure stood behind the curtain, as if looking at the people in the yard.
But the doctor told Xia De not to worry, just as he said, they were indeed not in danger. The owner of the memory, the hapless gardener, lived in a hut in the corner of the garden at the back of the courtyard, and the two found him easily.
Compared with the severely alienated courtyard scene, the gardener's log cabin is much more normal. He didn't fall asleep that night, but leaned next to the dim oil lamp the size of a grain of rice on the wooden table, looking at a pirated book with more pictures than words.
It wasn't the gardener's dream, it was just the gardener's memory, so he didn't react if Shad and the doctor broke into his house.
Before Xia De exchanged opinions with the doctor on the book, the gardener put the book down a little wearily. He stood up and looked towards the window, then picked up his coat and walked into the garden.
Xia De originally thought that he had something to do, but he just found a corner and whistled uncivilly to water the flowers. Suddenly the ground shook, as if an earthquake had occurred in memory, and the gardener looked up at the front yard:
"Mr. Oxenfurt is back?"
"It's not an earthquake, it's the sound of horseshoes. But in my memory, it was distorted by intense pain into an earthquake."
The doctor explained to Shad.
The gardener was curious about the master's return at night, so he walked carefully to the front yard in this eerie night. It can be seen that he is quite familiar with the yard he takes care of. He walked around the path to the front yard, hid in the bushes and peeked at the ongoing conversation.
At this time, all the surrounding light became dim, and the moonlight, like a spotlight on the stage, converged on Oxenfurt standing beside the horse in the courtyard. There is no need for a doctor to explain this time, Xia De also knows that this is just a distortion of memory.
To be precise, there was not one Stone Oxenfurt standing beside the black horse, but two. One of them was the person Xia De knew, and although the other was wearing the same clothes as the previous one, his skin was slightly darker, and his eyes were pure black, with no whites visible at all.
"The demon body? Appear in the image of Oxenfurt."
Xia De asked the doctor, who also appeared in the description of the old curator Fernandez.
"should be."
The doctor nodded cautiously.
"You're doing a great job."
The abnormal Oxenfurt said to the normal one, and the normal Oxenfurt held his forehead, looking exhausted:
"I will do what we agreed, and you don't have to come see me often."
"You are not a person who keeps promises. I will always urge you to complete our contract."
"How dare I violate the contract with you? You are a devil."
Stone Oxenfurt was talking wearily, and the gardener who was peeking at this scene actually yelled in horror after hearing the word "devil".
So, the two Oxenfurts looked at his position together.
The scene was completely frozen, as if the world was covered with a layer of gray, and it seemed that someone had stopped time.
The doctor and Xia De did not stand still, and the blue-eyed psychiatrist sighed softly:
"Originally, there should be another period, that is, what happened after he was discovered. But he suffered too much torture, and subconsciously forgot what happened next. Fortunately, the remaining memory is enough for us to judge, the demon's body, or close to the body It looks like Stone Oxenfurt. The Stone Mirror Demon likes to appear in the image of his contractor, which can be regarded as proof of its identity. Next, the focus of your investigation is how to lure the other party, so that The other party took the initiative to appear in front of you."
Xia De nodded, but he didn't expect the third voice to appear in this still world:
"I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing."
"Um?"
Xia De and the doctor looked towards the center of the courtyard. Oxenfurt, who had a slightly darker skin, was looking at them impressively.
"Doctor, this."
"There is a small amount of demon power attached to the gardener's body, don't worry, I can solve it."
"Will it be discovered by the demon itself?"
"Others will shoot, yes; I will shoot, no. This is a dream I built."
While speaking, the demon had already walked towards the two of them, as if he hadn't heard their previous conversation at all:
"So, you two, do you want to play a game with me? If you win, I can give you a great gift, longer life, an eternal fire, a touchstone, or, what do you want? something else?"
The demon looked at the two of them with a smile that Shad had never seen on the real Oxenfurt's face.
"It's just a little power of the devil, it can't give us anything. Of course, even if we lose, we don't have to pay the price. Detective, play with it and see what its game is~www.mtlnovel.com~ said the doctor , took a step back and came behind Xia De, who nodded to "Oxenfurt":
"Okay, I'll play with you, what do you want to play?"
"It's very simple, guess the cards."
The devil said, and three glowing cards appeared in front of it. Those are three Rhodes cards, Sun 1, Moon 1, and Star 1:
"I'll change the position of the card, and you guess where Star 1 is."
As he said that, the three cards overlapped, and quickly moved and exchanged positions in the air.
Xia De watched this scene in silence, and when the three cards were separated and the backs were floating upwards in the air, he stretched out his hand and uncovered the leftmost card:
"This one is not."
After opening it is 【Inception·Darkness】.
Then I opened the middle one:
"This one obviously isn't either."
After opening it is 【Creation·Death】.
Xia De smiled, and uncovered the last one:
"The last one is not."
After opening it is 【Foundation·Balance】:
"Therefore, the answer I give is that Star 1 is not among these three cards at all.
The demon froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.
The laughter was extremely sharp and piercing. In the laughter, the surrounding scene disintegrated like glass, and the doctor put his hand on Shad's shoulder:
"Detective, it's time to wake up from the dream."
Only the laughing demon remained standing:
"It's really interesting, I'm looking forward to it, you can meet my body."
Its entire body turned into a black streamer in the dream that was about to disintegrate, rushing towards Xia De's face.
