Chapter 205 The Giant Serpent in the Dream
"Can dreams... also 'open doors'?"
Klein's eyes were filled with doubt and curiosity. He always felt that the "Apprentice" potion that the other party was taking was not the same as the "Magician" Miss's "Apprentice" potion, otherwise the difference would be too great.
Cyril nodded in response, "Theoretically, it's possible, but I don't know if I can do it, after all, I'm only a Sequence 6."
Klein: ....
Suddenly I was transported to Versailles.
Ignoring Klein's silence, he asked with some curiosity:
"Why did you insist on dragging me along?"
Klein answered honestly, "Judging from your ability to obtain Will Onsetin's body, you must be quite familiar with that 'Mercury Serpent.' I think it would be safer to have you with me."
"And with you here, it will be much easier for me to travel."
At this point, Klein suddenly remembered the last time he was found with a gun by patrolling police officers on his way home at night, and it was his neighbor, lawyer Jürgen, who came to his rescue.
Thinking of lawyer Jürgen, he thought of Mrs. Doris, who had recently fallen ill and been hospitalized... Perhaps he could ask the vampire in the Harvest Church to treat Mrs. Doris. It just so happens that Miss "Justice" sent me another sum of money this month, hmm, to my followers. I can try to buy the pituitary gland of the Thousand-Faced Hunter from the vampires.
Seeing that Klein was somewhat distracted, Sirion pursed his lips and said, "I think you're overthinking it. Bringing me along might actually be dangerous."
Klein, snapping out of his daze, shrugged at him: "Well, we're already here."
As he spoke, he took out another talisman and chanted an incantation to activate it.
"Crimson!"
The deep, tranquil blackness descended like twilight, silently covering Dr. Allen, Sir Ryan, and himself.
He then quickly entered a meditative state, using his spirituality to touch the oval-shaped sphere of light that represented Dr. Allen's dream.
Seeing this, Cyril, who was standing nearby, also quickly entered a meditative state.
Then he saw an endless expanse of deep blackness, and an oval-shaped sphere of light quietly floating in front of him.
After a moment's thought, he stretched out his right hand and gently pushed forward.
As the spiritual energy resonated, ripples of deep blue light spread out from the oval-shaped sphere of light, eventually coalescing into the shape of a vague, illusory door without any substantial form.
On the other side of the "door," he saw a desolate plain, a towering black spire, and a silver-white serpent coiled around the spire.
As if sensing something, it looked up, its bright red eyes coldly fixed on Sirion outside the "door".
Sensing the undisguised oppression and disgust in the giant snake's eyes, Cyril hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to go in anyway. After all, he was already there.
Moreover, the advantage is now in my hands. There is a "Mercury Serpent" that has been restarted but not yet born. Even if I don't like it, I can only glare at it helplessly.
Thinking of this, he took a step forward and stepped into the "door".
The world around me suddenly turned upside down, then distorted back to normal.
When he realized his situation, he found himself on the desolate plain he had just seen, with dark stones bare of even a blade of grass beneath his feet.
Not far ahead of him, Klein was approaching the central spire with a man in a white coat.
Cyril quickened his pace to catch up, his gaze growing increasingly malevolent, as if ready to attack at any moment. He entered the spire's interior, where the layout was chaotic, as if direction and space were no longer precise.
After walking a short distance behind the dazed Dr. Allen, Cyril suddenly reached out and grabbed Klein's arm.
Under the latter's questioning gaze, he pointed to the rotten wooden door they had just passed and said:
"Let me lead the way; following behind him is too slow."
As he spoke, he took two steps forward, reached out and grabbed the rusty wrench on the wooden door to close it, and then opened it again.
As soon as the door was opened, the scene behind it changed abruptly. The sloping staircase had become a dimly lit room, and in the corner of the room, a thin figure was huddled up.
Seemingly noticing the suddenly opened door, the person huddled in the dark corner looked up, their pitch-black eyes filled with undisguised disgust and fear.
"You, you stay away... don't eat me."
Perhaps because he was too excited, he suddenly stood up, then lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Klein, who was following behind Sirion, finally got a clear look at him. He was a chubby-faced little boy, about 1.4 meters tall, somewhat thin, with his left calf bare.
More importantly, he was exactly the same as the corpse stored above his own gray mist.
Will Unsett, the "Mercury Serpent"!
However, judging from his reaction just now, Klein suspected that this was just a dream image and had nothing to do with the real Will Unsettin.
While he was pondering, Cyril had already walked over, roughly lifted the little boy from the ground, and then said:
"Stop pretending to be a child, I have something to ask you."
"I met Urolius before, and he tried to give me some luck, but in the end he failed."
"snort!"
The little boy he was carrying interrupted him with a whimper, then bit his hand.
"Hiss~" Cyril reflexively threw the little boy in his hand away.
"Throat, you..."
Klein watched this scene with some disgust, and subconsciously reached out to catch the little boy that Cyril had thrown away, but before his hand could touch the other, the two strangely missed each other.
After missing Klein, the little boy landed right in Dr. Allen's arms as he walked up the stairs.
He looked at Dr. Allen, who had instinctively reached out to hug him, with a mixture of surprise and joy, his voice trembling with panic, on the verge of tears:
"Dr. Allen, a bad guy is trying to eat me!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a huge, silvery-white snake head stretched out, its toothless, tongueless, blood-red mouth snapping at Sirion.
Whoosh!
The moment Dr. Allen was touched by the giant snake in his dream, his dream seemed to reach its limit and quietly shatter.
In the instant that the deep darkness engulfed everything, Cyril suddenly reached out and tore open an illusory door in the shattered dream.
A flash of pale blue light carried Cyril and Klein away.
After a chaotic upside-down experience, as if being thrown into a washing machine, Cyril and his companion found themselves in a small, oppressive, and dark dream space filled with the sound of rushing water.
Klein frowned and looked around. For some reason, he couldn't help but want to curl up.
"here it is?"
"Another dream hidden within Dr. Allen's dream."
As he spoke, Sirion raised his hand and rubbed his fingers together, creating a soft light around him that allowed people to see normally.
As the light illuminated the surroundings, a stroller covered with a silver blanket but completely empty appeared before the two.
As the two turned their gaze, a line of small, silvery characters appeared on the front of the stroller:
"What an impolite person! Don't you know it's very rude to disturb an unborn baby?"
"If you cause my developmental problems after birth, I will draw lots of circles to curse you!"
Cyril pursed his lips and muttered, "Even Ulorus can't affect my luck."
A new line of words appeared in front of the stroller:
"But I have a chance!"
Seeing the conversation between Cyril and the stroller, Klein seemed to understand something and quickly asked:
"Was it your doing that Dr. Allen had such unusual luck? Will his bad luck continue?"
In front of the stroller, words expressing strong dissatisfaction appeared one after another:
"Why don't you just ask this rude guy the question!"
Whoosh!
A phantom shattering sound rang out, and Cyril felt as if he saw a slowly rotating silver ring, or perhaps a long silver serpent with its own tail in its mouth.
When he came to his senses, he found himself back in the bedroom, staring blankly at Dr. Allen and his wife, who were fast asleep in bed, with one hand still in the position of pushing the door open.
Somewhat awkwardly, he withdrew his hand, turned to look at Klein, who had also just come to his senses, and shrugged, saying:
"Let's go, the unborn baby doesn't really like us."
Klein hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Why do I feel like he only dislikes you?"
As Sirion opened the "door" to the world in the mirror on the dressing table, she smiled and said:
"That's how it was supposed to be, but you insisted on dragging me here. Now he hates you too."
After a moment of silence, he turned and asked:
"Do you know what happened to Dr. Allen before?"
Cyril nodded slightly and explained, "The reboot of the 'Mercury Serpent' is a reversal into an embryo, starting everything from scratch. A baby naturally needs parents to be born."
"As for Dr. Allen's previous misfortunes, they were just a necessary price to pay."
"Just a little?" Klein was highly skeptical of this qualifier, as he knew all too well how unlucky Dr. Allen had been.
"Isn't that so?" Sirion turned and pointed to the sleeping Dr. Allen:
"Look at him now, isn't his health, life, and work completely unaffected?"
"His previous misfortunes were insignificant compared to the good fortune he will receive in the future."
