"I'm Valeela, captain."
Valeela deliberately tilted her head and looked at Dunn with a smile, "You don't remember me again?"
"Well--"
Dunn was confused for a while, unable to recall, so he could only nod his head and said:
"Well, I've been retired for a few years, and my memory is much worse than before. I don't have a deep impression on new team members like you. I'm sorry."
"Well, you come in first. If you have anything to do, sit down and talk about it later?"
As he spoke, he stepped out of the way and made a gesture of invitation.
Valeela walked into the house calmly on the surface, but in fact she was secretly surprised.
She just tried to tell a little lie to target Dunn, or to be more precise, the "Incubus"'s old problem of poor memory, and get a piece of very useful information out of Dunn's mouth.
A good start is about half the success.
Following Dunn's cognition in his dream, Valeera quickly had a rough idea.
She began to weave stories in her mind.
The two of them came to the living room one after another. As soon as they sat on the sofa, a lady with a warm temperament brought two cups of coffee——
She obviously didn't know there was a guest yet.
Through these details, Valeera has a deeper understanding of this dreamland.
This is Dunn's dream. The other former "Nighthawks" members are just mental imprints. To some extent, they can be regarded as Dunn's split personality.
If Dunn knew it, they would naturally know it too.
Valeela told Dunn some nonsense about the "Blackthorn Security Company", which successfully deepened his recognition of his identity as a "Nighthawk".
At this time, many people were already sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Relying on the characteristics described in the original book, Valeera roughly recognized their identities.
Little Yinte who practices archery, Adelaide who reads in the sun, Dawn who brings coffee... They are all Dunn's lost companions. They were swallowed by him with their remaining characteristics and brought vividly into the dream.
In addition to them, Valeela also saw old Neil with gray hair and wrinkles on his face, wearing blue eye shadow and blusher Daly.
Of course, the two of them looked like stiff puppets, but Dunn couldn't notice anything unusual.
"Old captain, I'm here to ask for help. A big thing happened in Tingen, and we don't have enough manpower now."
Knowing that Dunn thought he had retired in the dream, Valeela quietly changed his title.
"What big eucalyptus?"
"How many people do you want?"
"Is the situation serious?"
Dunn did not ask any questions, but looked at Valeera with his deep gray eyes, waiting for detailed information.
"Based on the tip, we have confirmed the specific location of an extremely dangerous wanted criminal in Tingen. We have no time to wait for reinforcements from the church and need to arrest him as soon as possible."
"I don't know any more specific information."
Valeela was not familiar enough with the charter of the "Nighthawks" and did not dare to make up specific information.
She looked at the people in the living room and then said:
"Those of us who are low-ranking are not qualified to participate in this arrest operation. We can only pray for the goddess's blessing for the captain and others."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and clicked four times on her chest, drawing a "Crimson Moon".
Dunn stared at Valeera with a solemn expression for a few seconds, then stood up and said:
"Then let's go."
"Okay." Valeela stood up and responded.
The two quickly walked out of the house.
Looking at the winding dirt road under the bright sunshine, Dunn made a confused sound, as if he was asking Valeela or himself:
"Why are Tingen walking?"
"Ha!" Valeera laughed, "Old captain, you are a 'dream demon', why not just 'dream jump'."
"you're right."
Dunn nodded, and invisible ripples quickly radiated from his body.
Jam!
The dream was instantly shattered.
…
Countless fireflies flickered, and Valeera's spirituality returned to her body.
She reopened her deep and slightly hazy dark brown eyes, just in time to see the pale Dunn frowning and waking up.
"..."
Dunn opened and closed his lips several times, but was too weak to make any sound.
Soon, most of the remaining confusion in his eyes disappeared, and his expression began to change significantly.
Valeela stretched out her hand and pressed it a few times, "Relax, you are in a very bad state now, and I don't want to spend so much effort only to save an out-of-control monster."
She sat down on the chair next to the bed and continued:
"Do you remember what Klein told you about the man behind the coincidence? It was Ince Zangwill. I saw him."
"He appeared at the end, took away the sacred object of the 'dark night' path, and killed Klein."
"I just had time to save you."
"What you need now is to take a good rest, and we'll do the rest after you recover a little."
"Lydia will stay and take care of you, and I'm going to rest and recover."
After saying this, Valeela opened the door and walked out.
She entered the guest room opposite, lay down on the bed with Liya's help, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
…
After taking a tube of medicine every day and lying in bed for two full days, Dunn felt better.
During this time, he received a complete explanation.
At least that's what it seems on the surface.
Except for the part that may involve her own secrets, Miss Valeera answered all his questions with all her heart.
He knew Valeela's identity, her relationship with Klein's classmates, and the causes and consequences of the Tingen incident...
Dunn feels that even if there is fake news mixed in, there shouldn't be much.
Of course, he won't give up on verification.
Another day passed, and Dunn finally felt that his condition, both physically and mentally, was much better, and it basically did not affect his ability to exert the "Dream Demon".
At night, he tried to enter Valeera's dream with the help of the night's status amplification.
Through the spiritual vision of the "Incubus Demon", he found the one with Valeela's aura among the nearby illusory and hazy oval-shaped light balls, and spread his spirituality to communicate.
In the circles of invisible ripples, the scene around him became illusory and rippling, and began to appear like a dream.
Generally speaking, this process does not take long.
As an experienced "dream demon", he can slightly observe some scenes in the dream before he truly enters the dream.
It seemed to be a quiet and transparent void, and there seemed to be a statue.
The picture is broken and cannot be clearly seen.
But even after only seeing this, Dunn felt his eyes twitching wildly, his head swollen, and he seemed to hear inexplicable murmurs.
Danger!
Mortal danger!
This was his inspirational prompt.
Dunn felt an electric shock and his whole body trembled.
However, it was too late for him to stop, he was about to enter this dangerous dream.
It's over... This is Dunn's only remaining thought.
