After a flurry of activity, Klein opened the locked bedroom door and peered into the living room, where he saw Danitz lying in an armchair, fast asleep.
Although he had heard the sound long ago, Klein couldn't help but mutter a few words to himself:
It's a little past 3 pm now!
"Could it be that this guy has completely let loose since he stopped using the radio receiver to monitor others?"
On second thought, he gradually smiled, realizing that this was exactly what he needed.
He could only remain conscious in his dreams if someone invaded his consciousness; during normal dreaming, he remained in a daze. In other words, he couldn't conduct the experiment on his own, since he couldn't use " Psychological Suggestion."
Therefore, his plan was to use external abilities to enter other people's dreams, so that he could remain awake, just like Nightmare.
His original plan was to go out for a stroll and find a suitable partner, but now Danitz is posing so well that it makes one want to kick him.
No, it's about giving it a try... Klein corrected his earlier thought in his mind.
He considered it for a moment and decided not to use the " Dream Charm " because the ancient name for Sequence 7 " Pyromaniac " was " Fire Mage," and Danitz's Spirit Intuition was not low. Once the incantation to activate the power of nature was uttered aloud, he would surely wake up.
Whether he can take timely and effective measures to avoid this is another question.
After careful consideration, Klein took out another prepared item, a dark and deep gem-like gelatinous substance, which possessed Beyonder Characteristic left behind by the " Nightmare ".
It can be used in its initial stages, like the " Eye of All-Black " of " Marionettist " Rosago, but its effect is far inferior to that of a magical item. For example, the Beyonder Characteristic of this " Nightmare " do not allow Klein to travel through different dreams throughout the city while staying in his hotel suite, nor does it allow him to forcibly drag people into Dream Divination. However, the most basic close-range invasion of other people's dreams is still very simple.
Klein held the dark "gem" in his hand, and his Spirituality began to emanate from it.
Before his eyes, a phantom-like deep blackness rapidly spread, filling his entire field of vision. Everything that had originally existed here was now enveloped within it, including Danitz in the armchair.
There was no longer any human figure there, only a hazy, oval sphere of light.
Klein immediately extended his Spirituality and touched it.
Without any warning, various scenes rushed out around him, flashing rapidly, and finally settled on a ship several tens of meters long. It had towering smokestacks spewing out thick smoke and huge, unfurled sails. The deck was polished to an exceptionally bright shine, reflecting the color of gold coins in the sunlight.
Danitz stood beneath the main gun barrel, arms crossed, leisurely supervising the Sailor, occasionally shouting:
"Wipe there again!"
"Shit, do you want to copy Ancient Feysac dictionary?"
This guy's pretty impressive on the " Golden Dream "... Klein ignored the dream's owner, flew to the other side of the ship, found a Concealment spot, landed on the deck, and prepared to test his Spirit Intuition.
What he planned to test was very simple: whether reciting the name of " The Fool " in a dream while fully conscious was effective, and whether he could sense that someone was praying to him!
In this way, if Miss " Justice " encounters danger in the Sea of Collective Subconscious, she can seek help in this manner... After stretching his back muscles, Klein's expression gradually became serious, and he said in a low voice:
" The Fool That Doesn't Belong to This Era ";
" The Mysterious Ruler Above the Gray Fog "
" The King of Yellow and Black, who holds the key to good fortune."
As each Hermes was uttered, the name " The Fool " was quickly completed, but Klein did not hear the illusory, layered supplications.
"Won't it work?" Klein frowned, pondering whether it was truly impossible or if something was wrong.
"Hmm... The chanting in the dream wasn't actually spoken aloud; relying solely on Hermes wouldn't suffice... To achieve the effect of prayer through silent recitation, one needs a language like Ancient Hermes that can manipulate the power of nature, just like when copying down the password for an anonymous account..." Klein nodded slightly and cautiously began chanting his name in Ancient Hermes.
What he feared was not what might happen, but rather that the natural forces that were stirred up would awaken " Blazing " Danitz.
As he uttered the description, the three-part structure was quickly completed, and Klein suddenly heard layers upon layers of irritating, illusory pleading voices echoing in his ears.
Just then, Danitz's dream began to falter, and the " Golden Dream " quickly shattered into pieces.
Klein didn't linger; he immediately left and returned to his bedroom before Danitz could wake up.
After seven or eight seconds, Danitz sat up blankly, muttering to himself with lingering fear:
"I had a dream that that Lunatic Gehrman Sparrow was causing trouble on the ' Golden Dream '..."
This is a terrible thing!
"Damn it! It must be because I worry about this kind of thing too much!"
Inside the bedroom, Klein had already taken four steps backward, entering above the Gray Fog. As expected, he saw a halo of light rippling around the " The Fool's " high-backed chair, inside which was himself in the dream.
It really works! Reciting the name of " The Fool " in Ancient Hermes, Jotun in dreams also elicits a response! No wonder some people suddenly die in their sleep even though they haven't done anything. What information did they read or what symbols did they remember that were accidentally replayed in their dreams? The dangers of this world are truly unpredictable... Klein closed the light circle, considering whether to inform Miss " Justice " of the experimental results in a different tone.
Not saying anything on the spot and only informing her afterwards would damage the image of " The Fool "... But Miss " Justice " is the kind of girl with a strong sense of curiosity. Although she has been warned by Mr. " The Hanged Man " and " Admiral of Stars " and has matured quite a bit, there is still a possibility of taking risks... Of course, if anything goes wrong, it's her own responsibility, and it has nothing to do with me... Klein couldn't help but recall Miss " Justice's" admiration for " The Fool," her cheerful optimism and cheerfulness, and her contribution to revitalizing the entire organization within the Tarot Club.
Finally, he sighed and gave a self-deprecating laugh:
"We still need to give her a heads-up and a warning."
"This is the treatment for VIP clients..."
Having made his decision, Klein no longer hesitated, his Spirituality spreading out as he touched the deep red "star" representing Miss " Justice ".
Inside a room in a large manor house in East Chester County.
Audrey sat with her legs together in front of the dressing table, recalling the words of Mr. " The Hanged Man " and Ms. " The Hermit ".
After being reminded by two senior Beyonder, she suddenly realized something: the middle and upper levels of the " Psychology Alchemists " might not be unaware that dreams, the subconscious iceberg, and the Sea of Collective Subconscious could be explored through the method of "self- Psychological Suggestion."
The reason they didn't tell me was probably because it was too dangerous for a " Psychiatrist," and many people had already died during the exploration... But normally, they should at least give a warning... Ah right, in their eyes, I'm just Sequence 8 " Mind Reader," and I don't have the ability to " Psychological Suggestion " anything, so there's no need to remind me... Audrey finally figured out a question.
Just as she was about to let Susie in to soothe her disappointment, a thick Gray Fog suddenly surged out and instantly filled her vision.
In the center of that boundless gray-white mist, a figure sat back in a high-backed chair, looking down at the viewer, and said:
Don't try it rashly.
Before Audrey could react to what was happening, that deep, authoritative voice rang in her ears once more:
"If you encounter danger in your dreams, you can recite my name."
"Say your name?" Audrey's eyes widened, her heart filled with joy.
"Yes, Mr. ' The Fool '."
Seeing that Miss " Justice " had no doubts whatsoever, and was even quite excited and thrilled, Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled softly:
"In Ancient Hermes ".
After he finished speaking, his figure faded away, and the Gray Fog vanished instantly.
Audrey paused for two seconds, then quickly pursed her lips, afraid of losing her composure.
Mr. The Fool actually reminded me! He even allowed me to recite His name in my dreams! Audrey excitedly paced back and forth, believing herself to be a true " God's Blessed."
Of course, she also remembered Mr. The Fool's warning and planned to learn more from the " Psychology Alchemists " before making her attempt.
A slight smile crept onto her lips. She tapped her chest haphazardly a few times and muttered to herself:
May Mr. The Fool protect me~
Above the Gray Fog, Klein turned his attention to another matter:
The redhead Elaine, whose reward is as high as 1,000 pounds, is actually connected to " Vice Admiral Ailment " Tracy!
Tracy took over Qilangos's fleet, renaming the flagship the Black Death. Qilangos had previously captured a wealthy merchant named Jimmy Necker... This merchant had earlier obtained some ancient documents related to Death, from the tombs of the Balam royal family... This information came from the " Nightmare " in " The Creeping Hunger," and should be of some use to Mr. Azik. I had originally planned to look into it anyway... Klein had another expectation for finding Elaine the Red.
He originally only intended to use the Magic Mirror Arrodes to find people, but now he plans to also include the investigation of the " Sea God " believers.
Previously, issuing an oracle for 1000 pounds was indeed beneath his dignity, but now that a pirate general is involved, it's barely possible to speculate on some hidden motive... Klein materialized a picture of Elaine the Red-haired and summoned the " Sea God Scepter."
He did not issue broadcast oracles, which was perhaps an unbearable burden for him.
He selected senior executives such as Kalat and Edmonton, and spoke in a deep voice against the backdrop of towering waves:
"Find her and protect her."
"Beware of Tracy's influence."
Without explanation, Klein divided the scene, along with Elaine's photograph, into several parts and projected them into corresponding points of light.
