Farewell to the neighbors.
Kamiyagawa took his "Dream Man Father" out of the house.
He was familiar with the area around the low-rent apartment, and the streets and alleys in his dreams were no different from reality.
"It is indeed a dream of ten thousand people. It is truly a generous undertaking."
Kamiya sighed in his heart.
Next, he had to find the location of the individual alienated dream boy in this cluster dream.
According to Ms. Nomoto, when she peeked into this dream, she could clearly see the alienated dream boy standing in the center of the dream, very conspicuous.
But I don’t know if it’s because of the different perspective.
After Kamiya fell into a dream himself, he did not have such a broad field of vision, and the range he could see and perceive was only the area around him.
"Can you sense where the object we are looking for is?"
Kamiyakawa leaned closer to Yumeno behind him and whispered.
The latter nodded and shook his head.
Judging from the appearance of the little tapir, it seems that it has some sense, but I am not sure whether it is accurate.
"Go according to your feelings first."
In the dream, the God Valley is not as powerful as the little tapir, so let it take the lead in this action for now.
Not far from the low-rent apartments, you can reach the bustling streets and alleys.
The time in the dream was daytime, and the time displayed on a large screen on the street was one o'clock in the afternoon.
There is pedestrian and vehicular action on the streets.
However, the flow of people is much less than in the real world.
Everyone is surrounded by dream boys of different shapes but with the same face.
No one feels weird about this.
Everyone is going about their normal daily activities.
As for Kamiya, because the dream-eating tapir is there, it is no different from the pedestrians on the street, blending in perfectly with them.
The master and the servant walked on the street for a while.
The little tapir calmly looked around and turned into a small road.
This is a street in a residential area, with some private cars parked on the roadside and no one around.
Tapir walked straight to one of the black Rolls-Royces and reached out to touch the door.
A faint red light flashed, and the car door clicked open.
The central control in the car also has sensors.
"call--"
The tapir got on the passenger seat and waved to the owner.
"It's really yours... and I picked the most expensive one."
Kamiyagawa was not polite and went straight to the driver's seat.
There is no concept of private property in the dream.
You can act like a Grand Theft Auto driver.
Everything in the car still feels so real that there is nothing extra, whether it's the feel of holding the steering wheel or the touch of the leather seats.
The navigation destination automatically appeared on the car's display screen, and it looked like it was in Minato-ku, Tokyo.
This is where the little tapir sensed something strange and planned to go over to check the situation.
"Minato Ward? You can go to Minato Ward. The scope of this dream is really large...maybe it includes the entire Tokyo, or the entire Kanto region?" Kamiyagawa started the luxury car he picked up on the roadside, and kicked He stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel and drove off.
…
Dream world, Tokyo, Minato.
When driving near here, even Kamiya River felt something was wrong.
The dream boy atmosphere here seems to be much stronger than that near the low-rent apartment.
Under the guidance of the little tapir, Kamiya parked the car near a relatively remote unfinished building.
The master and the servant got out of the car and saw a lot of dream boys gathered on the street here.
The images of these dream men are very unified.
Except for the unnatural patchwork appearance on their faces, which are exactly the same, their clothes are also the same.
White shirt, red tie, black suit.
Kamiya also saw police guns on the waists of some dream boys.
Moreover, among these dream men, there were no normal dream-sinkers.
"Are these dream boys ownerless? Are they naturally generated in dreams or something like that?"
Kamiya was curious and stood not far away watching.
His appearance also attracted the attention of the group of dream boys. However, after seeing Kamiyakawa wearing a homely T-shirt and a "same kind" standing next to him in a sloppy middle-aged look, the dream boys didn't pay much attention to him.
He just raised his hand to signal him to leave.
Kamiya thought for a moment, then pretended to retreat with the little tapir.
Seventy or eighty dream boys near the unfinished building began to surround the unfinished building.
"What are these dream boys dressed like men in black doing?"
Kamitani didn't really leave, but took the little tapir around to the back of the unfinished building.
Dream-Eating Tapir's perception was correct, there was indeed something abnormal in this place.
But it doesn’t seem to be where the alienated dream boy is.
Before I could carefully confirm the situation here, I heard shouts and gunshots.
"A fight started?"
He looked up at the unfinished building whose situation was unclear.
Who are those dreamboys who seem to be "ownerless" fighting with?
"Damn it, how did you find this kind of thing?"
"Spread out!"
"..."
Chaotic shouts came out, and Kamiya saw a figure rushing out of the unfinished building.
It was a man with a relatively strong build. He only held a steel bar in his hand and waved it like a wind. He was surrounded by several dream boys.
Kamiya recognized the man's face.
It seems that they are people from the countermeasures room, and they are also spiritual exterminators who participated in the operation against Yumeno.
But I couldn't call him by name, he just looked familiar.
"People from the countermeasures room."
Kamiyakawa suddenly understood who the opponents of this group of dream boys were.
After the dream of thousands of people came, many spiritual slayers were also asleep and trapped in their dreams. Judging from the current situation, the people in the unfinished building are probably all spiritual slayers.
They are probably different from ordinary people. They all know that they are trapped in a dream, so they have conflicts with the dream boys.
Now that it is confirmed that it is a friendly party, it is time to consider helping.
If you die in this dream, it is difficult to say whether your consciousness will die and your body will become a vegetative state.
Moreover, Kamiyagawa is fighting alone now, so it might be a good thing if he can find friendly units.
"Little Tapir, can we deal with the dream boy here without attracting attention?"
Kamiya River is eager to try.
"Puff." Tapir made a rough judgment and nodded.
It says it’s OK!
"Let's go!"
Kamiyagawa immediately climbed over the fence.
As soon as his feet landed on the ground, he happened to see the male exorcist wielding a steel bar and fly away the police pistol in the hand of a dream boy.
He swooped over without hesitation, picked up the pistol on the ground, turned over and raised his hand to shoot.
boom! boom!
The black gun case slides quickly, and the pistol in the dream feels real.
The sound was loud, the smell of gunpowder smoke was pungent, and the recoil was not small.
Kamiya has been practicing gun training for a long time, and he can't say that he is always on target, but he still has no problem holding a gun in actual combat.
Two bullets were fired, and the two dream boys surrounding the male exterminator fell to the ground and turned into dark fragments.
"Kamiya River?"
The spirit-killing master obviously knew Shengu, and he was surprised and happy.
Although I don’t know why this ghost and god disciple suddenly appeared here.
But it's great to have him show up!
The spirit-killing master waved the steel bar in his hand harder, regardless of the glory on his body.
At that time, several more figures rushed out from the unfinished building.
And one of them was very familiar to Kamiyagawa.
Wearing a high ponytail for easy mobility and a woolen coat with horn buttons, her flexible and bright figure is extremely conspicuous.
"Onizuka?"
The little witch is here too.
Onizuka was being chased by several Yumeno, and behind her there was a Yumeo who was shooting at her.
Several bullets were fired densely from several muzzles.
No matter how fast Onizuka is, he can't be faster than bullets when he can't use the Kikyo spell.
"Puff."
The moment Onizuka was about to be hit, a blurred red light formed a light shield and was outlined in front of her, swallowing up the flying bullet.
Kamiya also quickly turned the muzzle of his gun and emptied the magazine directly at the Yume men who were chasing Onizuka.
The little miko reacted quickly on the battlefield. Realizing that she was being assisted by a friend behind her, she jumped forward and got close to the unresponsive Yumeno.
The distance between the two was shortened. Onizuka's right elbow was downward, grabbing the collar of the other's suit. His toes were straight, his knees were bent, and his body was exerting force.
A beautiful and smooth over-the-shoulder throw!
There was a muffled sound.
The dream boy was hit hard on the ground by Onizuka.
Kamiya remembered that the little miko once said that she was a tenth-degree red belt in judo and was also proficient in taekwondo.
Regardless of their respective abilities and weapons, there is a high probability that Kamiyagawa will not be her opponent in a melee fight.
After getting rid of the enemies blocking the way, Onizuka turned his head.
"Kamigu? Why did you..."
The battlefield was obviously not a good place for conversation. Before Onizuka could finish his words, many men in suits and collars gathered around him.
Fortunately, the little tapir used his strength at this time and cut into the central area of the unfinished building, directly revealing his true body.
The dream-eating tapir, which has a bear body and tiger claws, raises its nose high, and the auspicious cloud patterns on its forehead and limbs sparkle.
Blurred red light burst out on the battlefield, and Mengnan's body that came into contact with the red light quickly dissolved, turning into dark debris flowing on the ground, and then gathered and poured into the little tapir's mouth.
Dong dong dong——
In addition, in the unfinished building, Kamiya also heard the sound of tambourines.
Amidst the thumping sound, the surrounding Mengnan's aura continued to weaken.
Not long after, all the dreamboy aura disappeared.
Then, the space of the entire unfinished building began to distort, and Kamiya once again felt the gaze of many eyes.
At this moment, the sound of the tambourine became louder, and the red light on the Dream-Eating Tapir became more dazzling.
After a few seconds, the abnormal situation was suppressed.
"This way, come over here."
"Is anyone hurt?"
"Count the number of people..."
Everyone in the unfinished building gathered together.
The people present were indeed all spiritual exterminators from the Countermeasures Room. Most of them looked familiar to Kamiyakawa, but he couldn't call them by name.
But one of them he knew, a middle-aged man in his forties with feminine features named Naoto Funakoshi.
A spiritualist who specializes in dreams.
When dealing with the Yumeo incident before, Funakoshi was also one of the main players. He had the ability to solve the dreams of hundreds of people.
The sound of beating the tambourine just now was also made by him.
Perhaps because his own abilities are related to dreams, Naoto Funakoshi is very special compared to all the spiritual masters on the battlefield. He is one of the few people who can use his abilities in dreams.
As for the eighty or so homeless dream boys just now, most of them were dealt with by Mr. Funakoshi and the dream-eating tapir.
Spirit slayers with limited abilities, such as Kamiya and Onizuka, only killed a few enemies.
"Yagita and Okabe were seriously injured. Ishikawa and Aika... failed to escape, and they disappeared..."
Everyone present counted the number of people, including Kamiya, there were 15 people in total.
Listening to the content of their conversation, Kamiya learned that two spirit exterminators had "died" in Yumeno's attack just now.
"The dream boys have come here. We can't stay here any longer. We need to leave first."
…
Everyone found a truck directly near the unfinished building.
Let the two exorcists go to the cab, and the rest of the people got into the car.
Onizuka and Kamiya sat side by side against the iron-clad carriage.
The dream-eating tapir was a little full again, so it did not turn into the dream boy, but kept its own appearance, lying in the arms of its owner and taking a nap.
As the vehicle drove, everyone in the vehicle calmed down a little and started talking.
Through other people, Kamiya learned that although the dream of thousands of people had come, the outside world had only passed for more than a day.
But the person trapped in the dream feels like he has spent two weeks in this weird dream world.
Onizuka: "...I didn't know that I was trapped in a dream at first, I just felt something was wrong. After a while, I saw Yumeo... After I dealt with that Yumeo, the scene around me started It became unstable, as if there were many eyes watching me."
"When the situation around us stabilized again, a dream boy appeared just like before, wearing a suit and carrying a police gun."
"Not too many dream boys appeared at the beginning, but I couldn't use any magic in the dream and could only escape."
"Kamiya, have you ever seen Inception? I feel that those dream men in black are just like the subconscious minds of the dream owners in Inception. They are used to protect this dream. They realize that I am a special person, so they want to kill me Throw me away to maintain the stability of the dream."
"I was running around in Tokyo, hiding. Every time I managed to hide, the feeling of space distortion and being watched would appear again, and soon the man in black, Yume, would come to my door. Until I Met Mr. Funakoshi and the others."
"Mr. Funakoshi is special. He can also use certain abilities in dreams, which can cover up the aura of our group of special people who don't have 'exclusive' Yumeno. After joining together with everyone, he temporarily escaped the pursuit of Yumeno, the man in black. , until just now, you have seen what happened just now..."
Onizuka briefly talked about what happened to her in the dream.
The more than a dozen spirit exterminators gathered together now all had the same experience as hers. Soon after entering the dream, they all killed the "exclusive" dream boy next to them.
Subsequently, many men in black were chased by Mengnan.
Onizuka: "Kamiya, how did you get in? Are you trapped in a dream too?"
"I'm here to save you."
"Um……"
Inside the swaying carriage, the air was originally silent, and it became even quieter for a moment after Kamiya finished speaking.
The surrounding spiritual masters visibly paused when they heard Kamiya's words.
The little miko Onizuka didn't seem to react much. She just rested her chin gently on her knees, nodded slightly, and raised her hand to brush away a few strands of hair stuck to her cheeks due to fine sweat.
In the dim environment, it was difficult to see her expression clearly.
Kamiyagawa gently stroked the little tapir in his arms with his hand, and continued to add seriously: "Everyone, the current situation is that nearly 40,000 people are trapped in the same dream."
"Are there so many?"
"Yes, because this dream is too large and cannot be solved by ordinary means. So I used the power of the dream-eating tapir to sneak into the dream. Before I came, Ms. Nomoto had spied on the dream outside. She He said that he saw a special alienated dream boy existing in the dream. That dream boy is the core that connects thousands of people to the dream. As long as he is eliminated, this dream can be broken up..."
Kamiya roughly told the people in the car about the situation outside and the battle plan.
"Alienated Yumeo? Kamiya-kun, are you talking about the one Mr. Funakoshi mentioned before?" A spiritual exterminator suddenly understood and quickly answered.
