Chapter 196: Entering the Dream, the World of Light Mirrors in the Dream
Night, Nursing Home.
Klein, Leonard, and others decided to stay here tonight to observe if Sheriff Reed and others would exhibit any abnormal behavior.
From today's observations, the four of them generally believed that Sheriff Reed was mentally unstable, which is why he kept thinking his child was still alive.
According to the information provided by the church, the child had already perished in the storm and could not possibly be alive, let alone grow into a young man in a short time and embark on a sea adventure.
However, to prevent any oversight, Klein ultimately decided to let Leonard use his extraordinary ability of nightmares to enter Sheriff Reed's dream and investigate.
"This time, entering the dream might be dangerous. You must be prepared and cautious. If any unexpected events occur, you must leave the dream immediately. Do not take unnecessary risks," Klein repeatedly emphasized, fearing that Leonard might encounter uncontrollable forces in the dream.
Leonard, with a solemn expression, replied, "Yes, I will be careful."
With the decision made, Klein and his team went to the room next to where Sheriff Reed was staying and confirmed that there was nothing unusual with Sheriff Reed before allowing Leonard to perform the dream-entering technique.
As Leonard entered Sheriff Reed's dream, he immediately felt something strange.
Sheriff Reed's dream was not chaotic and dark as expected but rather very peaceful.
A gentle light formed a vast world of dim light. The light was not dazzling but gave a warm and soft feeling.
To digest the Nightmare potion, Leonard had entered others' dreams many times, transforming into a nightmare.
The current situation indicated that Sheriff Reed's mind was very pure, without many messy thoughts, and neither fallen nor chaotic.
Is this the dream world of a mentally ill person?
This seemed more like the spiritual world of a devout believer.
Suppressing his curiosity, Leonard continued to move forward in this unknown dream world. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the dim light world began to change.
Mirrors, countless light mirrors, spread out, covering the entire sky.
The gentle light was emitted from these mirrors.
As Leonard approached, his figure was reflected in the mirrors in the sky.
Every move he made was replayed in the mirrors.
This scene deeply shocked Leonard's mind.
After the shock came an indescribable fear.
The countless light mirrors in the sky were like countless eyes, looking down at him.
Under such scrutiny, Leonard felt a chill from the depths of his heart and decided to leave to avoid any real danger.
At this moment, Leonard noticed a huge mirror in the front of the dim light world, like an ant standing at the foot of a mountain.
The enormous mirror looked like a rift in time and space.
It seemed to lead to another different world.
Leonard instinctively walked towards it but stopped after a few steps, hurriedly leaving the dream world.
Faintly, he heard the sound of waves hitting rocks from behind the huge light mirror.
...
"Hu, hu, hu..."
Leonard's consciousness returned to his body, and he hunched over, gasping for breath like a fish out of water, struggling for its last breath of oxygen.
Klein and the others, who had been waiting around, quickly gathered, gently patting Leonard's back and sending a breeze to help him breathe more smoothly.
After a while, Leonard gradually returned to normal.
"Are you okay?" Klein tried to keep his tone calm.
"Yes, I'm fine, still alive," Leonard nodded, forcing a smile.
"What exactly did you experience?"
"A world of dim light, countless mirrors, a mysterious world beyond a huge light mirror."
Leonard briefly introduced his experience and, after regaining some strength, began to recount his journey in Sheriff Reed's dream world.
"Fortunately, you didn't venture into the world beyond the huge light mirror."
Listening to Leonard's account, Klein also breathed a sigh of relief.
If Leonard had not left the dream world in time and had chosen to enter the huge light mirror, he would not have returned safely.
"Yes, I'm glad I could withdraw in time and not go all the way."
Leonard also felt a sense of relief, thinking that the old man might have helped him regain clarity at that moment.
"By the way, when I left Sheriff Reed's dream, I seemed to hear the sound of the sea, as if the huge light mirror connected to an ocean." Leonard recalled his experience and mentioned this significant discovery.
Could the mirror world be an ocean?
Sheriff Reed firmly believed his child was adventuring at sea.
All of this seemed to connect, suggesting that Sheriff Reed's belief might be influenced by some power, leading to this psychological suggestion.
Based on their current information, the quickest solution would be to enter the mirror world in Sheriff Reed's dream and thoroughly investigate.
But even Leonard, a nightmare, dared not explore deeply, so they were even less capable.
"Let's report the situation first and see if there are any new instructions from above."
Klein decided, as a captain, he needed to handle things steadily rather than risking lives for potential credit.
"That's a very wise decision," Leonard supported Klein's idea.
He had a premonition that if he entered Sheriff Reed's dream again, he would directly enter the mirror world and face unknown dangers.
"The probing of Sheriff Reed ends here. We can investigate other people with eye abnormalities to see if there are any good solutions."
After assigning Leonard and the others to observe other people with eye abnormalities, Klein went to the washroom alone.
Walking backward four steps, he arrived above the gray fog.
He pondered how to solve this matter.
Should he use divination to peek into any special aspects behind this event?
He ultimately abandoned this idea, not wanting to repeat the experience of peeking at the Eternal Blazing Sun.
Who knew how terrifying that evil god was?
"Should I divine about Baron Hastur Campbell? I feel he is not a simple character."
After thinking for a while, Klein decided to try.
He wrote the divination statement: "Baron Hastur Campbell is an extraordinary person!"
The yellow crystal pendant remained motionless, neither affirming nor denying.
It simply did not respond, freezing in place.
But this situation was also a form of divination revelation.
Baron Hastur Campbell was definitely a powerful extraordinary person.
Moreover, he carried a powerful sealed or extraordinary item, which could completely avoid Klein's divination.
Klein thought for a moment and wrote a second divination statement: "Baron Hastur Campbell intends to harm Sheriff Reed!"
The yellow crystal pendant still showed the same situation, motionless, unable to provide effective divination.
"As expected of Backlund, encountering such mysterious characters shortly after arriving."
"It seems I need to find an opportunity to have a frank talk with Leonard to gather more information about Baron Hastur Campbell."
Klein did not stay above the gray fog for long, logging off and leaving the washroom. When he met Leonard, Klein gave him a look that said, "Confess quickly."
In response, Leonard made an excuse to go to the washroom, avoiding Klein.
Late at night, Klein, in his sleep, suddenly felt he was in a world shrouded in darkness.
The sky was dim, and the heavy darkness seemed to cover everything that could be seen.
Klein woke up in shock, his back drenched in sweat.
This should be a warning from his spirituality about his actions today.
The message was clear: do not casually perform divination, or it might bring misfortune to his future.
"I should be more cautious in the future and not overly rely on divination, or I might unknowingly peek into dangerous things."
Klein did not realize that beneath the thick darkness was a brilliant starry sky.
That night, Leonard also could not sleep peacefully.
He had a dream about the sea.
On the vast sea, dozens of ships sailed, with one particularly unique ship leading.
It looked like a blue ghost ship, moving swiftly and mysteriously like a ghost.
On the deck of the ghost ship, a figure was holding a fishing rod, seemingly fishing for creatures in the sea.
Before Leonard could see the figure clearly, the dream shattered, and he woke up.
He was surprised to find himself drenched, as if soaked in water.
There was even a faint smell of the sea.
Leonard was dazed, his eyes vacant.
He felt he might be in big trouble!
