People who fall into coma can also dream. Kuroda Miki felt like she was trapped in a bottomless swamp, falling continuously.
In the process of falling, she felt as if she was constantly changing her form, sometimes as a person, running desperately on the deserted playground track, escaping from the many voices calling her "Miko" in her ears.
"I am Miki, my name is not Miko..."
The girl tried to retort, but she couldn't make a sound in her dream.
In front of the runway is a void with no end in sight.
She was very tired, but she couldn't stop.
There was an obsession driving her to run.
However, as she ran, she felt like she had turned into a spider.
"Ho~"
A roaring sound sounded behind him, and a rumbling sound also approached behind him.
In a flash, the playground track disappeared and the scenery turned into a dense forest.
And she was being hunted as a prey in the dense forest, being chased by the monsters chasing after her.
There was only a whooshing sound, and she got into a dead and hollow tree trunk.
As a spider, with its peculiar compound eyes, it could see monsters of terrifying size running past outside.
The consciousness of the sleeping girl kept switching between human and monster.
Sometimes it will be a running girl trying to catch up with someone's back, sometimes it will be a spider hunter who is familiar with the laws of the jungle, or it may be the prey.
The two seem to have nothing in common, but there is a vague resonance. If a third party can feel this resonance in detail, it would be that whether it is a human or a spider, they seem to be just... In order to keep myself... alive.
In a daze, the girl's consciousness came to the giant spider again and was hunted by other powerful monsters. But as a soft light suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, covering her entire field of vision, Kuroda Miki I suddenly woke up.
Then, she found herself lying in a warm quilt, with her head on a soft pillow. What her nose smelled was the smell of air freshener unique to hotel rooms. The soft sunlight filtered through the windows and curtains, and it just happened that Hit her face lightly.
"I am..."
In the dream just now, he was a spider monster and was being chased by other monsters. Kuroda Miki didn't react for a while.
When she propped up her body and sat up on the bed, covering her head, and the feeling of clearing her head suddenly came over, the girl recalled what happened suddenly in the underground dance hall last night.
The memories of monsters killing people in underground dance halls and the memories of herself almost being killed by monsters suddenly emerged, giving her a sudden shiver.
"No, that must be a dream. How could there be those terrifying monsters in this world?"
Kuroda Miki said to herself, feeling that she must be dreaming.
"Unfortunately, that was not a dream. You really encountered some monsters called demons last night. Many people died in that place. You are a relatively lucky person. You asked for help in time, and I also Made it in time.”
The sudden sound from the side startled Kuroda Miki.
Turning her head and looking over, the girl saw a young man in tight black clothes sitting on a sofa chair in the hotel.
The other party's eyes were very soft, as if caring for a helpless little animal, but he was looking at her.
"No, you..."
The lights in the underground dance hall were relatively dim. Although Kuroda Miki looked directly at Wu Ke's face yesterday, she obviously did not see his appearance clearly.
"What happened last night had a big impact on your consciousness. It's a good thing for you that you can't remember the specific things clearly.
Let me introduce myself. I am the messenger of justice who came to this world after receiving your call for help. You can call me Wu Ke or SD. "
As Wu Ke spoke, he used telekinesis to pour the other party a glass of water.
"Drink some water and moisten your throat. Your voice sounds hoarse."
he said.
"Thanks……"
Kuroda Miki subconsciously took the floating glass of water and said thank you before reacting.
"No, this, you, I..."
She was in confusion. If there wasn't a strange force preventing her from throwing the water glass out, she might have already thrown the water glass away.
"It's just telekinesis, don't be nervous. This is a hotel in the city. You passed out last night, and there is no information such as your home address on you, so I asked another survivor named Andrew to Man, I helped open this room for you and sent you here..."
Wu Ke said.
"clothing……"
Kuroda Miki's eyes fell on herself, who was wearing completely different clothes from yesterday.
"Last night, your clothes were all covered in blood and smelled bad, so I took them off for you. You are now wearing the bathrobe provided by this hotel.
But please don't worry, I used telekinesis throughout the whole process and didn't even look at you. Andrew who followed me can vouch for me, and of course he didn't look at you either.
He went to buy breakfast and was now downstairs. He should arrive in this room in about five minutes.
Do you have any questions? "
Wu Ke took the initiative in the dialogue and explained some key things.
Before the uneasy feeling arose in the girl's heart, it was calmed by his calm words.
Kuroda Miki subconsciously drank the water in her hand. After moistening her throat and calming down a little, she boldly asked: "Do demons really exist in this world?"
The dream of turning into a spider did not disappear when her consciousness completely woke up. The remaining dream made Kuroda Miki very concerned, because the spider she turned into gave her the same feeling as last night. Those monsters are not too different.
"I can't give an exact answer to this question, because I am not from your world, but I belong to your world. Andrew, who pursues the power of demons, doesn't even know how to go to hell. He is really a demon hunter. Human shame.
Compared with an exorcism expert I knew before who could treat hell as his hometown, he is far inferior, so I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the content he provided.
Of course, if the demons you are talking about only refer to the monsters you encountered last night, then my answer is yes, because you have seen with your own eyes that the so-called demons do exist. "
Wu Ke answered this question with a rigorous attitude.
"So are you an exorcist?"
Kuroda Miki asked carefully. The dream of the spider monster that remained in her mind, and the strange feeling that she could become that spider monster as long as she thought about it, made her very uneasy. She felt that she might be Possessed by a so-called demon.
"If you are talking about physical exorcism, then I can be an exorcist, a very professional one."
Wu Ke replied seriously.
Kuroda Miki: "..."
At this moment, the girl recalled the demons who tried to pounce on them last night, but were instantly crushed to pieces by inexplicable power.
She swallowed, and the sound of teeth chattering suddenly sounded in the room.
"What's wrong?"
The inexplicable reaction of the girl on the bed made Wu Ke a little worried, and he asked quickly.
"I-I'm scared~"
After Kuroda Miki was asked, she subconsciously answered, and her voice was already trembling.
Hearing this, Wu Ke breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know much about the demons in this world.
Who knows if there are some cunning methods that he couldn't detect that were used on this girl.
And the souls of people killed by demons will be taken away, which shows that the method of resurrecting people and pulling people back has no preventive effect in this world.
Therefore, the girl in front of her is just scared, but it is not a big problem.
"Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, no monster can hurt you."
He comforted the other party.
[But what I’m most afraid of right now is that you might perform a physical exorcism on me? ! 】
Kuroda Miki tried hard to calm down her fearful mood, and nodded stiffly but obediently.
"I-I know!"
Wu Ke saw that she still looked scared. After thinking about it, he walked to the bed and stretched out his hand towards the girl.
Kuroda Miki was a little frightened by his actions, thinking that an abnormality in her body had been discovered, and that the other party was preparing to perform a physical exorcism, so when she saw the stretched out hand, she closed her eyes subconsciously, and existed in The instinct of the spider monster consciousness in her body was also completely silent, just like when she encountered those powerful predators in her dream, she would find an opportunity to shrink into a hidden corner to condense her aura and hide.
As expected, his head was not crushed, and the palm of his hand just gently caressed the top of his head, like an adult touching a child.
"Don't worry, you're safe now."
The steady and magnetic voice spoke in a gentle tone, making people feel a sense of security.
And from the palm touching her head, there was also a warmth, which spread from the top of her head to her whole body.
Kuroda Miki only felt that her body was as warm as being wrapped in a quilt that had just been exposed to the sun.
The nervous and fearful mood was gradually relieved by this comfort.
And just when the girl thought that the exorcist master with such a gentle attitude and skillful means of soothing people would not kill innocent people at will, such as beating her to death, who was probably possessed by the devil, she was ready to put her own feelings on it. When he told me about the abnormal condition of his body, the door of the room was suddenly opened.
Andrew walked in carrying the bread and bags of milk he bought from the convenience store, and saw a girl sitting on the bed with an abnormally red face. Standing next to the bed was the powerful man who killed a group of demons in an instant. Sir, the other person's hand happened to be touching the girl's head on the bed.
He remembered the situation last night when he commented that the girl was a depraved and slutty girl, but the adult retorted that the girl was still a pure virgin. However, after seeing this scene, the bag containing bread and milk in his hand fell to the ground.
"Did I come at the wrong time?"
Andrew asked nervously.
"No, you came just in time."
Wu Ke ended the head-touching behavior to appease the scared girl, and asked Andrew to come over and explain and prove his experience of bringing the girl here last night.
"Yes, what the adults said is true. We didn't look at anything, and we didn't touch anything. You were like a doll played with by invisible forces. After being washed, you were thrown into the bed. And this gentleman was sitting on that sofa chair last night, while I was sleeping on the floor. You see, there are also my human-shaped indentations here..."
Andrew pointed to the indentation on the hotel blanket and omitted the refuted part, but he assured him emphatically.
As a guarantee for ordinary people in this world, the effect of the guarantee is excellent. After listening to it, Kuroda Miki seemed not to be afraid anymore.
Of course, maybe this was also related to the fact that she was devouring it. Somehow, after Kuroda Miki took the first bite of bread, she felt a little hungry, as if she had been starved for several meals. That way.
"Devils hardly move during the day. They hide among humans. Because they are not afraid of the so-called garlic or the so-called holy water cross, no one knows who they will be in society. This creature is cunning and ferocious, and will only hunt when it is sure that it is safe..."
Over there, Andrew was telling about the demon-related content that he had not finished talking about last night. Kuroda Miki listened with her ears pricked up, but the more she listened, the more frightened she became. The big spider in the dream acted like a man. Said almost the same thing.
It is a cunning and ferocious creature. It will consider its own safety when hunting. As long as it is sure that it is safe, it will conduct a sneak attack on the prey it is targeting, kill it with one blow, and then drag it to its lair, slowly to eat.
"Didn't you eat enough? I'll give you mine too."
Just when the girl was feeling uncertain, two sandwich butter buns were handed to her.
Wu Ke saw that after she finished eating, she kept peeking here, and her stomach was still growling slightly, so he handed over the piece of bread that Andrew bought for him.
Kuroda Miki was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand quickly: "No, I'm full..."
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach began to growl.
Seeing the two people looking over at her, Kuroda Miki blushed and almost wanted to bury her face in the quilt.
"Thanks……"
After thanking him in a small voice, she took the bread that was handed to her.
"It's a good thing that you still have a good appetite after the disaster."
Wu Ke said something nonchalantly.
"By the way, I mentioned a good appetite, but there is also a record in my grandfather's notes. It is said that people possessed by demons will suddenly have a sudden increase in appetite, because people possessed by demons have to bear the burden of not only their original body, but consumption, but there is also consumption of the demon's body, I don't know if this is true..."
