Tesler closed his eyes and nodded: "This is what I think is the craziest part of their plan.
"Even if this method has a chance of allowing humans to regain control of their own destiny, it will still cost a lot of lives."
War is a fire, and firewood is people's lives.
Not to mention a war between two gods.
"But..." Evan Burns spoke with a cold voice, "This world is already in danger."
In the face of absolute power, human beings have very few choices.
If that false god's plan is to harvest all the souls in this world, then no one can say for sure whether what Judas Ring did is wrong or right.
"In short, times are bound to change." Tesler sat down again, this time sitting next to Sean and others, "No matter whether the Dream Son project succeeds or not, times are bound to change.
"And we are just in a cage in this era...
"Just a little ant."
Everyone fell into silence.
Sean suddenly remembered something, and he asked: "How on earth are they going to... 'use' the Son of the Dream?
"Are you going to sacrifice their lives?!"
Tesler shook his head: “As far as I know, the rituals associated with Kluwetan don’t work that way.
“I know that Joseph Milton designed some extremely weird machine.
"That machine can keep people in dreams forever, and can connect dreams together...
"I think that machine should be related to the Son of Dreams."
So, they need to let the children of the big dream dream and connect the dreams together?
"So..." Nikolai Tesler relaxed on the sofa, "The topic returns to whether Kluwetan can thwart my 'Resident Purification Plan'.
"On the one hand, compared to the vast world outside and the hundreds of millions of believers, the poor faith in Ocean City is nothing to Kluwetan."
"On the other hand, as long as I can ensure that I am not controlled and corrupted by Him, then no one can stop this plan...
"And because of who I am, I have some ways to make sure He doesn't get to me."
The Judas Ring naturally wanted to ensure Nikolai Tesler's survival.
On the one hand, they were comrades of "Andre's Dinner"; on the other hand, the existence of Ocean City is related to the implementation of the Son of Dreams plan. If possible, they will try to ensure Tesler's survival.
"Sean..." Tesler turned to look at the New York reporter, his eyes were very sincere, "No matter what standpoint, I support you in rescuing Aaliyah, and I will do my best. Help you as much as possible.
“I don’t care if their Dream Child plan succeeds or not – that’s simply unforeseen.
"However, due to some reasons you can imagine, I can't show up while helping you.
"After all..." Tesler sighed slightly, "They were also members of 'Dinner'."
Sean was already very grateful for Tesler's willingness to help. He nodded: "I understand your position."
"In addition," Tesler sat up straight and exhaled, "I can tell you about their location and their composition..."
——
After Tesler's calculations, Sean learned that the time for the leader of the Judas Ring, Joseph Milton, to execute the final stage of the Dream Son plan was very close.
They have collected all the Dream Children and have debugged the machine.
Sean knew that the plan to save Aaliyah was urgent.
After nearly ten hours of planning and arrangements, Sean informed Alicia Pompeo and Nikolai Tesler of his rescue plan.
The plan has also been approved by them.
Not only that, Sean also visited a key person before carrying out the rescue and had already gained his trust.
Based on the information he currently has and the resources he has, in Sean's opinion at this time...
"The probability of successful rescue should be above 50%." At this moment, he was standing in the elevator going down from the Ecstasy Building.
Moonlight 1902, Evan Burns and Olivia Wind Chime were standing behind him.
After further treatment, everyone's condition has recovered to 80% to 90%.
The elevator reached the first floor, a crisp "ding" sounded, and the elevator door slowly opened.
Sean walked out of the elevator with his teammates.
The expression on Sean's face at this moment was decisive and resolute.
I have waited so long, walked so far, and done so much...
The moment Sean had been waiting for finally began.
At this moment, Sean remembered the moment when Aaliyah was taken away again by Kennedy and his party on the streets of New Testament...
His heart was agitated, but his face remained as calm as water.
Sean and his team walked out of the Ecstasy Building. Tesler was standing in his office, looking at the stubborn back under the swaying high-rise buildings in the sea with clear eyes.
Alicia, a female chess player with short red hair, was not far away at this time - she temporarily put aside the affairs within the foundation, and stood not far away with Wendy, Wright, Jennifer and others, for Sean's sake. Planning and waiting.

In a hidden corner of the industrial area, there is a door that is rarely opened.
Behind the gate is a passage for two cars. Power transmission cables are laid around this passage, which is responsible for transmitting the electric energy formed in the Vinland Trench to Ocean City, so this passage leads to the substation, and The channel where Raleye is located after the substation is called "Transmission Avenue" on the design drawings.
This road is related to Ocean City's power supply, so few people come here. Moreover, in the substation, which is like a miniature city, a monitoring system is installed to ensure safety.
People inside the substation can see people approaching the gate and transmission avenue through the black and white monitoring screen.
For Sean, who is about to enter Transmission Avenue, the world behind that door is a black box.
Although he already knew the composition of the Judas Ring, he could not predict the other party's arrangements, and he did not know the exact whereabouts of Aaliyah.
But Sean knew what he meant to Judas Ring and to Charles Kennedy.
Therefore, he made a bold plan...
At this time, inside the substation.
Lydia, who has a horrific scar on her face, is sitting in front of the monitor screen, working on her crossword puzzle.
Since the plan has entered a critical moment, all members, including her, cannot leave the substation.
She is a meticulous girl, so even though she is playing the crossword puzzle, she still looks up from time to time to look at the black and white surveillance screen.
The next look made her stunned for a moment.
She put the pencil on the table in a panic.
After hesitating for a while to whom to report the abnormal situation to, and considering that Milton was making final preparations, she took a slightly nervous step and found Charles Kennedy who was resting in his room.
"He's here." She didn't understand why the Jack-level man seemed to be a lingering ghost.
There was no need to ask who "he" Lidia was talking about. Kennedy's face darkened and he quickly led Lidia back to the surveillance camera.
Kennedy, with a sinister look in his eyes, squinted at the surveillance location pointed out by Lydia——
That's near the gate to "Transmission Avenue."
In the unclear black-and-white footage, Kennedy saw the man, Sean Dickinson, looking around as if trying to figure out how to open the door.
Seeing Sean Dickinson's image didn't come as too many surprises for Kennedy.
He was not sure whether this lingering "ghost" died in Lydia's "dream explosion".
And if he hadn't died...
"I knew he would come..." Kennedy narrowed his eyes, "It was like I had some kind of premonition."
For Kennedy, Sean's presence was like a thorn on the edge of his fingernails -
He was so weak that he was almost negligible, but he once caused Kennedy to suffer.
Not only that... what Kennedy wanted to deny but couldn't deny was...
He actually had a hint of fear for this Jack-level guy who was chasing after him.
And if I want to eliminate this fear...
Charles Kennedy straightened up and turned to get his coat.
Lydia could predict Kennedy's reaction, and she strode over: "Are you going to inform Milton?"
Recalling that his previous proposals were often dismissed as risky by Milton, Kennedy turned around and said as he walked: "He is busy with the most important thing - don't disturb him with such trivial matters.
"I'll come back after I crush that bug to death."
"What about me?" Lydia vaguely regretted her decision, but she had no choice now.
"My dear, you are also the son of a big dream..." Kennedy left a faint smile, "Go to Raleye to find Milton. It's almost time."
Lydia stopped, swallowed, and nodded obediently.
——
Sean Dickinson was still searching the area in front of Transmission Avenue, unaware of the impending doom.
Behind him, the double doors opened slowly, and the wind caused by the air pressure difference blew out from the avenue.
Sean turned back, and a familiar figure wearing a black top hat was reflected in his wide eyes.
"Mr. Dickinson...
He held down his hat that was blown by the wind with his hand, and a rich voice came along with the wind.
“Last time, our game in New Testament City was interrupted.
“This makes me deeply regretful.
"I didn't expect you to find this place."
Kennedy smiled, his teeth white beneath his carefully combed mustache.
"It seems that today, we can continue that game without interruption."
Charles Kennedy, who had almost fully recovered, raised his top hat towards Sean, his eyes flashing dangerously.
