Led by Mr. Funakoshi, the exorcists trapped in the dream also paid attention to the alienated Yumeo!
It's easier now.
Joining forces together is the right choice.
Kamiya looked expectantly at Mr. Funakoshi who was sitting in the corner.
This seemingly kind-hearted exorcist held a tambourine in one hand, pondered for a while, and nodded: "The alienated dream boy was born next to me and is the image of my late wife. "
"I am similar to others. Not long after I fell asleep, I attacked the dream boy next to me. But that dream boy did not dissipate immediately after being defeated by me. Instead, he began to gather strength and became more powerful..."
Mr. Funakoshi spoke in a soft and tired voice.
Kamiya roughly understood that the dream boy next to Mr. Spiritual Exterminator was indeed unusual. He had entered the second stage.
It must be an alienated individual.
As for why the Yume boy next to Mr. Funakoshi is an alienated body, it may just be a matter of probability.
It may also be because Funakoshi is very special. After all, he is currently the only spiritual master who can mobilize spiritual power in dreams and is a professional counterpart.
Funakoshi: "After he became stronger, that Yume boy looked even more terrifying. Those Yume boys in suits and ties kept emerging from him. I really couldn't handle it and had to run away, and then I slowly encountered them. other people."
"Where is that alienated body now?" Kamiya asked.
"Toshima District. Hidden in the underground parking lot of a shopping mall there. There are four floors there. I am not sure which floor the alienated Yumeboy is on. It has now completely become Yumeboy's lair, and it is difficult to get closer. .”
"Underground..."
Kamiyakawa was a little bit in trouble.
The area [Yun Waijing] pulls has a certain range. According to his judgment, it is impossible to pull directly from the ground to the space on the third underground floor.
In this case, and to ensure that the alienated Yumeo must be within the pulling range of the cloud mirror, he had to go deep into the underground of the Toshima District shopping mall.
Everyone in the carriage, because they all knew about Kamiya's plan for this trip, started the discussion quite actively.
It seemed like everyone was going to assist Kamiyagawa in his operation.
They were originally professional exorcists, and it was almost natural for them to participate in the action of exterminating ghost stories.
And everyone knows that the success of Kamiyagawa's action is related to whether they can successfully escape from the dream.
The exorcists don't want to be trapped and die in a dream.
"The key to the success of the plan to crush the dreams of thousands of people lies in whether Kamiya-kun can get closer to the alienated dream boys. And there are too many dream boys in that mall..."
"Let's do it. Let's create chaos and attract the Yumemen out. Kamiya-kun and Mr. Funakoshi will take the opportunity to sneak into the ground." The spirit-killing masters had a decisive attitude. "Although we can't use our usual abilities, we just got rid of those A certain amount of firearms and ammunition were seized from Mengnan.”
"Maybe it's too reluctant." Mr. Funakoshi sighed and shook his head.
Among the spirit exterminators present, there were many masters like Onizuka Kiriho. If they acted in reality, the possibility of relying on these dozen people to cause commotion and create opportunities for Kamiya and Funakoshi to infiltrate was not small.
However, without the ability to use their respective spells, it is almost impossible to achieve this with just a few pistols.
"So, Mr. Kamiya and Mr. Funakoshi should act separately?" Someone suggested.
Among the temporary team in the dreamland, the main combat power is Naoto Funakoshi and the dream-eating tapirs under Kamiya.
One side cooperates with other exorcists to create disturbances and attracts a large number of dream boys, while the other side sneaks into the underground of the shopping mall. This distribution of the main personnel is more reasonable.
"There is no better way, this is the only way." Mr. Funakoshi nodded.
Because the dream of thousands of people is too real and grand, the little tapir is restricted by the contract in this big dream and cannot leave his owner too far. He must be bound to Kamiya River for activities.
The [Yun Wai Mirror] was brought into the dreamland by the Dream Eater Tapir's [Dream Receiver] skill. It is maintained by the power of the little tapir and cannot leave it too far.
The props and combat power on Kamiya River are intertwined and cannot be separated.
"So who stays above ground and who goes underground?"
Kamiya: "I'll go underground. As long as I get close to the alienated dream boy, I can directly pull him into reality."
Mr. Funakoshi slightly raised objections to this: "I had a feeling when I was escaping from that shopping mall. The alienated Yumeo was hiding underground and was reluctant to show up to people other than me. Kamiya-kun is going to be on the fourth floor. It may take a lot of effort to find him underground."
"My deceased wife has taken the form of a man and has a certain obsession with me. If I go down, I can find him faster."
"He's waiting for me..."
"As long as I can see that dream boy...although I may not be able to defeat him in my dream, I am sure to lead him to the ground."
There are valid reasons and considerations on both sides.
Kamiya discussed with the spirit exterminators for a while, and finally decided that Mr. Funakoshi would lead two people underground. The rest of the people, together with Kamiyagawa, created riots on the ground and attracted those "Yumeo Men in Black" away.
Mr. Funakoshi said seriously that he was sure.
Kamiya decided to believe him.
In this situation, you really need to have more trust in your teammates to make things work.
What's more, the mall is the dream boy's lair. Many homeless dream boys gather together, and the combined aura may interfere with the little tapir's judgment.
Like just now, the little tapir wanted to find the alienated dream boy, but what he found was a large group of ownerless dream boys in an unfinished building.
Mr. Funakoshi's efficiency in attracting the alienated dream boy may actually be faster and more reliable than that of Kamiyagawa taking the dream-eating tapir and [Ungaijing] together to the fourth floor underground.
…
That night in the dream.
The vans driven by the spiritual masters parked at an unmanned gas station on the outskirts of Setagaya District.
They planned to implement the plan to cure the alienated dream boy tomorrow after taking a rest.
Inside a gas station.
Everyone took turns to disperse and keep vigil, while the rest rested in twos and threes.
Kamiya and Onitsuka sat on the side of the truck to rest together. When they looked up, they could see the bright stars in the night sky.
I can't explain why, but the other spiritual masters tacitly agreed to leave a certain amount of private space for these two young people.
The two of them chatted one after another.
Kamiya: "I didn't expect Mr. Funakoshi to have such a past."
Onizuka: "Well, spiritual masters always have to face separation and death."
In the afternoon in the truck compartment, Funakoshi gave a general account of his late wife's condition.
His wife died ten years ago, and the cause of death was due to a strange incident.
Naoto Funakoshi at that time was still a newcomer who had just joined the countermeasures room. When his wife was injured, he was participating in training in the countermeasures room.
The death of his lover and the sadness of "a doctor does not heal himself" are the source of Funakoshi's inability to dispel his guilt towards his deceased wife.
This feeling of guilt has persisted for decades.
No wonder he was trapped in Dream Boy's dream.
"Onizuka, what about you?" Kamiya thought for a moment and asked carefully, "What's your reason?"
"My words..." the little witch said quietly, then breathed out gently, looking up at the stars in the dream, "it's because my parents -"
"My parents are also exorcists. They used to be a pair. Seventeen years ago, my father died in a mission to eliminate ghosts...and at that time, my mother did not act with him. When I was a child, I heard Some people said that if my mother could accompany my father on that mission, with their tacit understanding, nothing would happen."
"Seventeen years ago?"
Kamiya realized something.
"Yes, seventeen years ago. Mom didn't go on a mission with dad because she was pregnant with me."
"……this is not your fault."
"I know." Onizuka relaxed his tone slightly and tried to remain as calm as possible:
"Because of my father's sacrifice, my mother got seriously ill after giving birth to me. When I was five years old, my mother also died of illness. I was taken to Juqiong Shrine and raised by my mother-in-law. In fact, when I was a child In my impression, I don’t have much concept of my father, because I was born without a father. And because my mother passed away early, my impression of my mother is also very vague. But occasionally I also think about what my parents would be like without me. Will you be living well now?"
Kamiyagawa:……
Kamiya didn't know how to comfort Onizuka, so he could only get closer to her and raised his hand to pat her shoulder gently.
The little witch moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something more, but in the end she didn't say anything.
She stared blankly at the night sky for a while, then changed the subject, raised her finger and said, "Kamigu, look, the stars are so bright."
"Yeah, it's very bright." Kamiya also looked up.
"Isn't it interesting to talk about it? The two of us actually looked at the stars in the same dream. Not many people have such an opportunity. The stars in the dream seem to be more beautiful than in reality."
"right."
The two sat in silence for a while.
The truck behind them kept running, the engine humming, and the headlights shining brightly on the wasteland in front of them.
Onizuka suddenly tilted his head slightly and put his head against Kamiya's shoulder: "Can you lean on me for a while?"
"Um."
"I know it's not my fault." After sitting close to her for a while, the little witch murmured in a low voice, her words vague, "But sometimes, I just feel...sad."
"Onitsuka..."
Kamiyakawa was really speechless.
Finally, he silently raised his hand and gently hugged Onizuka.
"Um."
The little witch didn't resist.
Kamiyakawa could feel her hair caressing his cheek, tickling her a little. He could feel her hot body temperature and her body trembling slightly.
"Kamiya, I've always been sad."
The starry sky in the dream is silent and bright.
A night of silence.
…
The next day, Toshima District.
Four o'clock in the morning.
After a round of rest, the exorcists were ready to attack the alienated dream boy and arrived near the target shopping mall.
They specifically chose the early morning time period.
At this point, no pedestrians could be seen on the streets of the dreamland.
But occasionally there will be a few individuals walking around on the streets with dream boys in different costumes.
Those who had fallen into the dreamland had no reaction when they saw Kamiya and his entourage.
But Meng Nan beside them was staring at everyone with strange eyes.
Funakoshi: "We are getting closer and closer. I can hardly hide the aura of our group. We should act sooner rather than later."
Everyone who was already prepared for battle nodded.
After briefly confirming their respective tasks near the mall, Mr. Funakoshi left first with the two exorcists.
Only seven or eight minutes later, Kamiya and the others, who had stayed on the ground and dispersed slightly, saw the "Masterless" Yumeo in a suit and tie appearing.
boom!
I don’t know which side fired first.
The sound of gunfire frightened a few passers-by on the street and scattered like birds and animals, but the dream boy beside them unusually did not leave together and stayed in place.
The exorcists each found a cover, and there was a dense sound of gunfire.
"Fire!"
"Give these disgusting things some color!"
"Avenge Ishikawa, Aikawa and the others!"
As soon as the battle started, more Mengnan men in black clothes with the same appearance poured out of the large shopping mall, and the darkness was like a tide.
Kamiyagawa's dream-eating tapirs are the main force in ground battles.
At this time, his true body was revealed, and he rushed towards the gathering place of Mengnan under the red light.
The blurred red light burst out and exploded into threads of light pillars, piercing and shattering the dream boy beside him, scattering them into shadowy debris on the ground.
"Puff!"
The little tapir continued to run and change positions. He didn't even care about eating at this time. He just tried his best to control the dreamy red light and deal with more dream boys.
Kamiya stayed with Onizuka, shooting and observing the situation on the battlefield.
Indeed, as Mr. Funakoshi said, this mall has become the home of these dream boys. The number of dream boys that are too numerous to count is still rushing out.
But if they are seduced like this, they will rush out in groups, which may not be a bad thing.
Mr. Funakoshi's actions may be able to move forward.
"Fall back!"
The well-trained exorcists retreated while fighting.
As the nemesis of ghost stories in dreams, the Dream-Eating Tapir becomes more and more courageous as he fights, restraining most of the dream boys.
The purpose of Kamiya and others is to attract as many Yumeboys out of the mall as possible, giving Mr. Funakoshi the opportunity to sneak underground and find the alienated Yumeboys.
The spiritual masters with more experience in the battlefield all know what to do and are not reluctant to fight. They support each other and cooperate with the brave dream-eating tapir to continue to create and expand chaos.
…
Inside the mall.
Funakoshi seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here.
Seize the opportunity when a large number of Yumemen flock to the northwest exit of Kamiya River and the others. Mr. Funakoshi led two spirit exterminators, broke open the window of a restaurant that had not yet opened, and quickly entered the mall from the back kitchen corridor.
"Onizuka Kamiko and Kamiya-kun are already moving. We have to hurry up."
The three of them didn't take the elevator, and rushed directly into the stairway towards the underground parking lot.
There were also a certain number of Yumeboys in the stairwell, but with the pistol support of the two exorcists and Mr. Funakoshi's constant beating of the tambourine, these Yumemen were quickly dealt with.
The alienated Yume boy in the mall belongs to Funakoshi, and there seems to be some strange connection between them.
After running down the stairwell for a while, Mr. Funakoshi felt something.
This exorcist, who is always gentle and gentle, was in a rare high-spirited mood, with a ferocious expression: "This way! That thing is hiding on the third floor downstairs, and I can feel it!"
