"No one came out...what do you mean?"
Hearing these words made Ed's skin crawl. Under normal circumstances, when encountering a dangerous situation, the dream peeper will try to forcibly interrupt the dream and escape. Although this will cause a huge mental load and even leave sequelae, it is still better than death.
In other words, the dream peepers who tried to enter were torn into pieces before they even had time to force the escape, or they tried to force the escape but were blocked by some force.
Miss Charlotte's dreams are extremely dangerous.
"It literally means that there are a total of two dream peepers who died in the line of duty. First it was my predecessor, oh... Strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as death in the line of duty. They have lost their subjective consciousness activities and can only maintain basic metabolism. What's more, Like an irreversible coma.”
The psychiatrist continued:
"The Crow's Nest thought that the accident was caused by improper operation by the psychoanalyst. Subsequently, the Bureau of Divine Investigation transferred a senior dream voyeur from the headquarters in Holland to participate in the investigation. I was fortunate enough to be taught by this senior dream voyeur. After studying for two years, he is my mentor.”
"... The Bureau thought that this time they would be able to get to the bottom of the truth. Unexpectedly, this senior psychoanalyst also became a vegetative state. After that, the Bureau issued internal regulations strictly prohibiting anyone from dreaming about her. penetration."
"To avoid further casualties?"
"Of course. It is also to avoid hurting Miss Charlotte again. The death of the first two psychoanalysts was also a major trauma to her."
"Do you think this has something to do with the trauma she suffered?"
"Perhaps, but not all people who have suffered mental trauma will be like this. In short, I suggest that you pay more attention to her mental state in daily operations. Once there are signs of emotional loss, you must immediately withdraw her from the operation."
As the psychiatrist spoke, he put the files into his briefcase, stood up, and reached out to shake hands with Ed:
"Okay, I'm going back to the crow's nest. I hope we don't need to meet each other again too soon."
"I hope so." Ed nodded slightly.
I said goodbye to the psychiatrist and returned to the bar at the main entrance. I saw that Byakuya hadn't left yet, sitting at the table and pouring himself a drink.
"Where's Rowan?"
Ed asked. After accepting the "Prince's" commission, it was best for me to go to Catalina's birthday dinner in person. Since I was going to attend a dinner party, I had to take off the plaster first and change into a suitable outfit.
"Still at St. Lawrence Hospital during the day. Major surgeries are inseparable from him." Byakuya lowered his head and drank the gin in the cup.
"By the way, um...can you lend me some money?"
Ed hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
Ed had already sent the clothes that Arthur had left behind to his family in Hollienburg. He only kept the casual clothes on his body to commemorate his savior.
After that, he bought a few similar casual clothes for a change of clothes, but he didn't have any formal clothes.
I only have about 10 pounds in cash in my hand. With this money, I might be able to go to Flea Alley to try my luck at finding a set of old clothes, but this is still a bit unreliable. After all, I want to find second-hand formal clothes that fit my body shape and appearance. Not an easy task.
And tailor-made is too expensive and the construction time is too late. In contrast, it is better to go to a ready-made clothing store to buy a formal suit. The price is relatively reasonable and you can wear it with a little tailoring.
I don’t know if I can borrow this money because of my relationship with Byakuya. Of course, you can ask Quinn to borrow money, but she doesn't seem to be here right now.
"How much?" Bai Ya asked without looking back.
"Ten pounds...five pounds will do, too."
Ed made a mental estimate and found that buying a decent ready-to-wear suit for a formal dinner would cost almost 20 pounds. If it really doesn't work, you can pay the deposit first and then find a way to borrow money to pay the balance.
"What's it for? Is it to bet on horse racing?"
"Of course not, I want to buy a formal suit."
"Formal wear?"
He turned his head with great interest and looked at Ed with his kohl-shadowed eyes, which made Ed tremble all over.
"Yes, I plan to attend a party soon."
"Oh, I understand, take it."
Bai Ya laughed inexplicably, put his wallet on the table, and generously took out a twenty-pound note from it and pushed it to Ed:
"Have fun and I'll keep it a secret for you. Whether Quinn can smell it or not depends on your ability."
"Believe me, it's not what you think... Please don't put me and Father Dylan on the same level."
Ed rolled his eyes and pocketed the money. That’s all I can say. Anyway, the more you explain, the more confusing it becomes, and you might even expose your plan:
"Thanks anyway, I'll return it to you next month."
"Don't worry, go and do your work quickly, don't delay my fun."
Byakuya waved his hand, picked up the wine bottle and poured another full glass.
…
When she saw him, Rowan was drinking tea in the lounge. A candy jar carved from stained glass contained gummy candies studded with nuts and raisins, and covered with a layer of snow-white powdered sugar. .
"Dr. Rowan, when can the cast on my leg be removed?"
Luo Wen put down the white porcelain teacup and tray in his hands, turned around and said:
"You can do it at any time. But to be on the safe side, I suggest you wear it for a while. The cast is mainly to stabilize your left leg and prevent it from being injured again before it heals."
"I'm going to a dinner party next week, and it's really inappropriate to wear a cast."
"Oh, that's it. I'll ask my assistant to help you remove the plaster and bandages later. Normal activities and travel should not be a problem, but you still have to avoid fighting or running fast, remember?"
"Of course." Ed nodded sincerely.
"Do you want to eat sugar?" Rowan asked as he opened the lid of the sugar bowl nearby. "Although excessive intake of sugar is not good for the body, it helps to maintain happiness and vitality."
"No, I have to go to the clothing store later."
He shook his head. He was not particularly obsessed with sweets, not to mention that this fudge was so sweet that it could only be drunk with tea.
