After the conference was over, a few people were left in the conference room to hold special meetings.
Among them, Kamiyagawa, Master Hagiwara, and Ms. Nomoto, who were just mentioned by Tomi Yi and were able to solve the dreams of hundreds of people, all stayed.
Master Hagiwara is a Buddhist monk who wears dull and monotonous monk robes.
Ms. Nomoto is the inheritor of Shintoism in her family, but in terms of dress, she looks more like a housewife.
Both of them were in their thirties, with ordinary looks, neither good-looking nor ugly. Their facial features had no obvious memory and were unremarkable.
The comprehensive abilities of these two exorcists in the official organization are not necessarily outstanding, but they are indeed the best at dealing with strange dreams.
"Everyone, tell me what you think of the current situation." Granny Gu spoke.
Kamiyagawa was obviously much more active than usual today, and his speech was very concise: "I studied it in the morning and found that my shikigami dream tapir cannot directly enter the current dream of ten thousand people. This vast dream is like Protected by a firewall to exclude outsiders from entering.”
"But, I found a bug."
"The Dream-Eating Tapir cannot directly enter the dreams of tens of thousands of people, but it can send my consciousness into this dream. Entering as a dream encounterer, this way, my consciousness will be the same as tens of thousands of others. Become part of the dream and not be excluded.”
"And because there is an extremely powerful contract between me and the tapir, as long as my consciousness enters, the dream-eating tapir can use me as a channel to sneak into this dream of thousands of people."
Kamiyagawa briefly talked about his current situation.
It sounds a bit convoluted.
But to put it simply, there is indeed a "firewall" blocking the dreams of the man who dreams of millions of people, but it is not impeccable and there are loopholes to be found.
As long as Kamiya uses the power of the Dream-Eating Tapir to enter the dream through "regular channels", he can open a "back door" for the Dream-Eating Tapir, allowing the Tapir to sneak in smoothly with his help.
"Kamigu-kun, do you want to dream in person? Is the risk high?" Fu Niyi asked after pondering for a while.
"The danger is there, but it's not too great. After all, the dream-eating tapir is the nemesis of all ghost stories in dreams. Even if you can't directly solve this dream of ten thousand people by sneaking into the dream, you can still be sure to send me out." Kamiyagawa answered. road.
There are naturally risks that Kamiya will face if he enters the dream himself.
But it shouldn't be too big.
In this regard, he also asked Zashiki Warashi, who was already relatively skilled in foretelling good and bad luck.
The reference opinions given by Fu Bao Yiya Ya Ya are——
If the old father really enters the dream in person, the results may be good or bad, but generally speaking, the good will outweigh the bad.
Ms. Nomoto: "Tell me about my findings. In the morning, I spied on the dreams of thousands of people. My ability was limited and I could only see a little bit of what was going on inside. Then I was forcibly expelled by the power of the dreams. According to the content of the dreams I spied on , there are tens of thousands of dream boys in the entire dream, this is natural. However, there may be one dream boy among them that is special."
"In the scene I spied, the special dream boy was rising and falling in the center of the entire dream, very conspicuous. Using Kamiya-kun's metaphor just now to describe it, the special dream boy is somewhat like the central processor of this huge dream, or in other words server."
"He is the core that connects the dreams of thousands of people. If this special dream boy can be dealt with, this dream of thousands of people may collapse and be reduced to pieces."
After all, Ms. Nomoto is the leading expert in dealing with ghost stories among the members of the Countermeasures Room, and the clues she gave are also very crucial.
This dream of ten thousand people is indeed unusual.
Directly ignoring the previous basic rule that "several Yumemen's dreams must be close to each other before they can be connected to each other", Yumemen's dreams as far away as Hokkaido, Nagasaki and other places were connected together, forming a huge cloud that entrenched over the entire Japan. A big disaster.
What if, among the many dream men in the dreams of thousands of people, there was an alienated body that could connect all dreams regardless of distance.
The anomaly of this rule makes sense.
"How strong is that special dream boy?" Kamiyakawa asked.
The combination of his and Ms. Nomoto's discoveries seems to be able to lay a foundation for breaking the dream of thousands of people——
The dream of thousands of people is not unbreakable.
As long as Kamiyagawa sneaks into the dream with the dream-eating tapir, finds and deals with the alienated dream man who acts as the "server", there is hope that this big dream can be broken up!
"Sorry." Ms. Nomoto shook her head with regret, "I really didn't see this clearly, and now I can't pry into this big dream again. The dream boys seem to be wary of my ability. "
Master Hagiwara: "The strength of tens of thousands of dream men gathered together and entangled in dreams cannot be underestimated. The method used by Kamiya Donor to sneak into the dream world may only be used once. If it fails, it may be difficult to use the same trick again."
Everyone agrees that the dream of thousands of people may "self-repair the holes in the dream."
Like Ms. Nomoto’s spying and Kamiya’s sneaking in with the dream-eating tapir, there may only be one chance.
Fu Niyi: "We need to improve our response to the big dream of tens of thousands of people and be more confident."
The conference room fell into a brief silence.
Granny Gu, who had been silent all this time, closed her blind eyes, and suddenly spoke: "Xiaochuan, you seem to have the ability to overlap the real world and the imaginary space?"
What the old priest was referring to was the last time Kamiyagawa participated in the operation against the plague god, bringing Dreamland into reality.
After that operation, many people in the countermeasures room became aware of Kamiya's unique ability.
Some people even directly recognized the paradise summoned by Kamiya as the Dreamland in Osaka.
The dream paradise in reality has been demolished, and all the buildings that appeared out of thin air in front of the Nuo formation are probably products from another space, the illusory space where strange stories are rampant.
There is a mysterious and powerful ghost master in Kamiya River. It is unexpected but reasonable to be able to do such a thing.
Granny Gu’s perception of this aspect is quite accurate.
"Well, I can indeed." Kamiya did not hide it, "But can the dream world be pulled into reality?"
"It should be possible. A dream where thousands of people are connected cannot be understood with common sense. Moreover, compared to reality, another world is also an illusion. If you can overlap the scenes of that world with reality... Then it should be possible to overlap reality and the dreams of thousands of people.”
Grandma Gu nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"According to my observation, the last time you were in front of the Nuo formation, a strange space realm was formed that was both real and imaginary. Real people and objects and illusory people and objects can influence each other in that space. If this If we can do this for the first time, then the possibility of solving the dreams of thousands of people will be greatly improved."
In response to the dreams of thousands of people, there are new ideas and improvements.
In reality, a group of elite spiritual masters were arranged to stand ready. Kamiyagawa sneaked into the dream and used the [Cloud Mirror] to overlap the corners of reality and dreams, forming a composite space that is both real and virtual.
In this way, Kamiya will not be alone.
His goal is no longer to directly deal with the alienated dream boy, but to find this special existence and get close to him, so close that [Yun Waijing] can affect the other party.
After that, a group of people will take action together in the virtual and real field created by [Yun Waijing] to solve the alienated dream boy.
The probability of success is greatly increased!
"That's true." Kamiyagawa's expression became slightly bitter, "But I use props to affect reality and imaginary space. When it comes to dreams, I have no props to use."
With the help of the mechanism of Kamiya and the scapegoat, Kamiya can freely enter the other world with props.
But the dream world is different from the ghost story world after all.
There would definitely be neither a god nor a paper man in the dream. How could Kamiyagawa's props be brought in?
Not even just props.
Perhaps after Kamiyagawa sneaked into the dream, his behavior when facing the dream boy was no different from ordinary people.
Tai Swordsman, Raifa, and other shikigami might not be able to function, and the only sure way to rely on it is the Dream-Eating Tapir.
After Kamiya finished speaking, the conference room fell into silence again.
Three or four minutes later, it was Tomi Yi who broke the stiff atmosphere: "Perhaps Kamiya-kun, your Shikigami Dream Tapir can bring props in?"
"Huh? Tapir doesn't have this ability..."
"No, Kamiya-kun, maybe there can be one!" Sister Fu suddenly had an idea, "This is the countermeasures room."
…
The "warehouse" of the countermeasures room.
It collects trophies collected by official spirit exterminators over the years from various spirit extermination activities.
It's a huge treasure trove.
Every piece of loot that can be redeemed is clearly marked with a price and corresponding "contribution points".
Among the various trophies, there are many relics of strange abilities.
To ordinary exorcists, ghost relics are materials for making props and weapons, or materials for casting spells and arranging magic circles.
But for Kamiyagawa, who is good at cultivating Kaidan shikigami.
These relics are "skill books".
It can help Kaidans learn additional skills, and also increase the upper limit of Kaidans’ advancement.
The opportunity that the little tapir "may have" may be hidden here.
After some targeted data search, Kamiya personally identified a good item suitable for the Dream-Eating Tapir from the vast inventory of loot in the "warehouse". Name——
【Return Pillow】
[Pillow that holds objects and returns them (rare material): A pillow that returns monsters and has the unique ability to hide objects and enter dreams. ]
[Weird tales of similar nature, if you can absorb the things you have received and use them for your own use, your strength can be improved. ]
This strange relic is in the shape of a small blue and white porcelain pillow.
Produced by a monster called "Zhen Hui".
A spirit exterminator named Nishio Heihachi submitted this trophy twenty-four years ago.
And because there are too few official spiritual masters who use dream-related abilities, they have been in the warehouse and have not been redeemed.
Zhenhui is also called anti-zhen, or pillow little monk.
It is a traditional ghost story in Japan. Children often appear in various ghost stories.
This kind of monster likes to play tricks. It will take away the pillows of sleeping people and place them under their feet. In later generations of pillow return stories, there are also more terrifying versions. It is said that pillow return will make the sleeping person sink into an illusory world and continue to sleep.
The second statement is somewhat similar to the actual dream male characteristics now.
However, according to the information included in the "warehouse", the pillow monster that Nishio Heihachi defeated at the beginning was not too strong.
What he did after his foreign visit was to mess up the pillows of sleeping people. In addition, that one will steal the personal belongings of the unlucky person it entangles.
The person who encountered the pillow dream had the same strange and similar dream for several consecutive days.
I dreamed of a child showing off his left boot, alarm clock, mobile phone and other things in a arrogant manner. When the original owner woke up, he could no longer find the things he saw in his dream.
It wasn't until Nishio Heihachi cured the disease that these things reappeared.
It turns out that they were all secretly hidden in dreams by pillows.
It is a very strange ability to hide real objects in dreams.
And this is what Kamiyagawa found after careful screening, which is not only suitable for the dream-eating tapir, but also crucially helpful in breaking the dream of thousands of people.
As long as the little tapir can accommodate this pillow relic, he will have the opportunity to take [Yun Waijing] with him into his dream!
The countermeasures discussed just now to defeat ten thousand people suddenly became feasible.
In addition, Kamiyagawa was acting impartially when he extracted [returning pillows] from the warehouse.
I did this to deal with Yumeng.
Of course, you don’t need to pay any price, as long as Granny Gu applies to the above.
Moreover, for Kamiyagawa, the master of Kaidan training, the Kaidan relics are not props. They are consumed after use and become part of the little tapir. It is impossible to return them.
I've worked hard for the organization, isn't it natural for me to get a relic for nothing?
I successfully obtained the [Pillow] from the "warehouse management" staff in the countermeasures room who managed the loot.
Kamiyagawa directly gave this thing to the Dream-eating Tapir.
The little tapir, which has been eating and drinking all the time recently, is very excited to come out for the first time other than to eat.
It revolves around the small celadon pillow, which looks very novel.
But within two turns, [Returning the Pillow] turned into a blur of bluish-white color and penetrated into the red lines of auspicious clouds on the forehead of the Dream-eating Tapir.
"Puff~Puff!"
The dream-eating tapir shook its nose excitedly at its owner.
Although it’s not edible, the coolness that goes into your head is very comfortable, phew!
The storage of the relics went very smoothly this time, with basically no trouble.
[Returning things back to the pillow] itself is a remnant of strange stories in dreams, and is very compatible with tapirs.
Judging from the data, the original pillow was just an E-level monster. The little tapirs under Kamiya are already C-level now, and their strength is still growing rapidly because they ate a lot of Yumeno.
Don't take it easy to accommodate this relic.
Kamiya is the only one in the small office he is currently in. He took out his phone without any worries and checked the tapir's shikigami information interface, and sure enough he saw a brand new skill——
[Special skill: Fantasy holding objects]
[Dream-Eating Objects: The Dream-eating Tapir uses its ability to carry real objects and hide them in dreams. The stronger the spiritual power carried by the selected item, the more difficult it will be to hide it. ]
