The intruder's thinking reaction disappeared, but not because he was eliminated by himself, but because he somehow escaped from this "building" formed by a twisted dream.
Heidi frowned, sensing the information that the personality clone she released was constantly sending back, and at the same time, her eyes scanned the "ward" in front of her.
As the intruder's thinking reaction disappeared, the ward quickly returned to its original appearance. The horrific and deformed scenes caused by the pollution gradually faded away, and the walls like withered flesh and blood turned into neat white walls in medical facilities. The cracked and rotten scorched earth also returned to the floor, and outside the ward, the eerie atmosphere that filled the entire facility was quickly dissipating.
Hai Di did not relax his brows at all, but became more and more wary of the strange changes at this moment, because this is not normal. The eroded and distorted dream is a closed structure. The intruder's consciousness here is the attacker of the dream, but it is also affected by the dream. If you want to force yourself out of the dream, it will definitely cause a lot of "movement". Of course, a powerful enough dream expert can suppress this kind of movement to a very small size, but the intruder... is not that strong.
Heidi knew her abilities. As an outstanding student who had studied at the Institute of Truth, and at the same time she had received careful instruction from her father since childhood, she had always been confident in the field of dreams. She did not believe that the "intruder" could do so without causing her to notice it at all. In order to escape from this twisted nightmare, the other party must have hidden in some way, or hidden in some cognitive hole.
She hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked towards the hospital bed in the middle of the room. The strange elf girl was still lying calmly on the hospital bed, her brows furrowed, showing no sign of waking up.
Theoretically, this girl is the core of this dream. Her trapping caused this distorted "medical facility" to appear in her dream, but normally she should wake up and run away at this time. Well, the pollution he left here has obviously subsided, and it is only reasonable for the trapped people to wake up from their dreams immediately after the pollution subsides, because in most cases, people can do countless weird things in their dreams. But there is only one thing that can't be done. Continue to sleep in the dream. Even if it is a dream within a dream nested layer by layer, human consciousness must be active in the last layer of dreams.
Heidi stepped forward to check the elf girl's condition, then she hesitated, reached out to help her sit up, and then pushed her to the bed with force, but it had no effect. Her "patient" was still a sleeper and had a fall reaction. invalid……"
Heidi looked serious and thoughtful, muttering to herself, isn't this the last layer of her dream? The middle layer of a dream within a dream? That's not right...even if it's the middle layer..." The drop reaction can also be awakened.
She muttered, then suddenly stopped, as if she suddenly thought of something, turned around and ran outside the ward. The sound of rapid footsteps echoed in the medical facility. Heidi ran quickly in the deep and leisurely corridor. Along the way, she After seeing each of the clones that he had released before, the "Heidis" holding golden cones were still wandering around the facility searching, checking the corridors, checking the stairs, or checking the strange atmosphere with the doors ajar. empty room looks busy.
Heidi ran through these clones. Every time she passed one, the clone would turn around to catch up and quickly return to her body. The clones scattered in other parts of the facility also received the order and appeared from nearby forks one after another. Returning to her true nature, the medical facility is no longer the structure she was familiar with. The misaligned projection of the dream caused a large number of messy corridors, dead ends, and forks in the building. Some stairs were even upside down and twisted, connected like absurd abstract paintings. Looking at those rooms and halls that are completely irrational in terms of spatial structure, they look extremely weird.
However, such a chaotic space is nothing to Heidi, who often deals with dreams. She easily discerns the right path, avoids the dead ends that lead to endless loops, and finally successfully reaches the end of the road, a door. The door stood quietly in front of her sight, with the word "Exit" written on the door.
Heidi stopped, and the last personality clone ran from behind and quickly integrated into her body. She took a gentle breath and slowly walked towards the door, which was the exit of the medical facility and was theoretically the boundary of this twisted dream. She put her hand on the door handle and slowly calmed her heartbeat. The boundaries of dreams are dangerous, and they represent the "cognitive limits" of the dreamer.
As a "visitor", rashly crossing the dreamer's cognitive limits means that his consciousness will fall into a huge "undefined" area, in this kind of chaos that is no longer under the control of the dreamer and is dominated by the subconscious. In the zone, unwelcome intruders will encounter all kinds of dangers, and even... they will encounter those terrible things that linger on the edge of mortal sanity and lurk in the world.
Heidi hesitated and moved forward, but it was not in compliance with medical regulations. The amethyst pendant hanging on her chest no longer generated heat. This was essentially just a piece of cheap glass and was cold at the moment.
Feeling the coolness coming from the pendant, Heidi made up her mind. This magical pendant has never had any problems so far. She decided to trust its reaction. This step will be deducted fifteen points in the professional class. Ms. Psychiatrist He muttered something and pushed the door open. The expected huge darkness and shadow of chaos did not appear, nor did he see the terrifying abyss valley or the spiritual world.
Heidi stood at the edge of this dream, gaping at the scene in front of her. A lush forest appeared in her field of vision. Everywhere she looked, there were towering trees that she had never seen before, and huge and leafy trees. The canopy of trees is stacked and intertwined in the sky, covering the sky. There are countless flowers, plants and shrubs covering the ground. In the middle, you can see many small trees and vibrant vines. The unknown birds chirp from time to time. Among the trees, it sounded novel and unfamiliar.
The sun shines all over this dense forest, and the vitality it brings is a sight that Heidi, who has lived in a city-state since she was a child, has never seen before. She simply cannot understand all this. She simply cannot imagine why there are so many people. Huge trees grow together. Why are the precious land covered with strange plants, but no one can be seen? Why can't you hear the sound of waves in your ears, and your nose can only smell the smell of plants and soil? .
She fell into chaos, a double chaos from the senses to the cognition. Even as a top student with a full scholarship and a master's degree in the College of Truth, she was so dazed that she almost forgot where she was and what she was going to do.
But fortunately, the professionalism she had cultivated over the years and her strong mental self-control skills allowed her to wake up quickly after just a few seconds of being dazed. She took a deep breath and forced herself back to a state where she could think calmly. Then she looked back in the direction she came from. The "medical facility" was right behind her, surrounded by a large area of huge trees and countless criss-crossing vines. The walls were covered with unknown plants, man-made The building suddenly appeared in the forest, looking out of place.
But Heidi quickly made some judgments from this incompatible scene. The scope of the dream should indeed be limited to the inside of this medical facility. This weird place outside the gate is not the structure that a dream should have. It is some kind of mutated marginal consciousness area. There are no elements related to the city-state of Puland. They are all unfamiliar plants. Is this a scene in the subconscious of this elf? But even the elf city-states like Qingfeng Port or Moko do not have vegetation on this scale. …
Or... this is the real last layer of dreams outside, so the scale is too big, and with so many details, her brain should have been burned out long ago. Heidi muttered to herself doubtfully, and then She touched around and took out a brightly colored wool ball. She clasped the thread of the wool ball with her fingers and threw the ball far away, but the brightly colored thread rolled on the ground and swayed on the wet stone. Blocks, dirt, and vines jump and scatter.
Heidi carefully watched every moment when the thread ball was rolling, confirming whether the lines falling on the ground were blurry or abnormal. If so, it would prove that there was a hidden "cognition" in this seemingly "detailed" place. She must carefully avoid those holes to prevent her from slipping into a nightmare.
The ball of thread rolled smoothly to a far distance without any abnormalities in the middle. Heidi breathed a sigh of relief. Following the general path of the ball of thread, she finally took the first step towards this "weird place" full of plants.
She has temporarily put away the revolver and only uses her left hand to hold the "golden cone" for protection. In this "marginal zone" where the situation is unknown, it is best not to use anything that makes a lot of noise. Although the lush plants here can be seen It was pleasant to look at, but there might be something hidden in the silence of the surrounding environment. She had to be careful not to wake up those beings sleeping at the boundary of mortal consciousness.
As she moved forward cautiously, a question gradually emerged in Heidi's mind. Did the cultist escape from the dream in a similar way? Instead of waking up, he ran directly to this strange place outside the dream? This Will there be any traps ahead? All kinds of thoughts were running through Heidi's mind.
But suddenly, something moved in her heart, and the next second, she suddenly raised her head and looked in a certain direction pointed by her intuition.
Among eight unknown trees, in a small clearing in the forest, stood quietly a figure with its back to him.
It was a stranger wearing a southern-style light-colored coat. He had messy blond hair and a slightly stooped back. Although his back was facing this way, the two pointed ears sticking out from the edge of his hair fell immediately. In Heidi's eyes, an elf?
