Chapter 4442 Guiding the Dreamer
With Mr. Sun's permission, Angel shared his experience in the dream bubble with the others.
Afterwards, Mr. Sun seemed to be dissatisfied with his failure to conquer Dream Bubble. He took a communication cyclone from Angel and left alone.
Judging from the direction he left, he was most likely heading to Mengpao on the next street.
However, that dream bubble seems to be a... medium-sized dream bubble.
It's important to understand that while everyone else is currently targeting small dream bubbles, Mr. Sun has directly set his sights on a much larger one.
Is it a refusal to admit defeat, or a desire to regain face?
Angell had no idea, and he didn't stop him... After all, even if Mr. Sun didn't go, he would have chosen the medium-sized Dream Bubble himself.
Identifying the differences between dream bubbles of different sizes is also information they need to gather.
……
Meanwhile, Blanche arrived at the rooftop of a nearby clock tower.
There are no guardrails here, only a narrow passageway that can only accommodate one person at a time. With the slightest tremor, one could fall dozens of meters into the air.
On her other side was a huge tower clock.
The clock face has many scratches, but no dust, which shows that the clock keeper usually risks dropping it to come here to wipe the dial.
At this moment, Blanche imagined the movements of the bell keeper and carefully moved forward.
Because there is a small dream bubble just ten meters ahead.
She was already starting to regret it.
She came here to find Dream Bubble according to the map, but when she arrived, she found that the map did not show a vertical axis, and Dream Bubble was not on the ground but on the clock tower.
She climbed more than ten floors before she finally saw Mengpao on the rooftop. Mengpao was located directly in front of the clock tower, a very awkward and dangerous position.
In reality, Blanche wouldn't be afraid at all, but in the Dream Crystal Plains, her body is completely powerless, and if she falls, she will definitely be smashed to pieces.
So, she actually didn't really want to choose this dream bubble anymore.
But as the saying goes, since we're already here...
In the end, she gritted her teeth and walked onto the dangerous narrow path.
She walked carefully, and half a minute later, she successfully arrived next to Dream Bubble.
At the same time, she also received a telepathic message from Angell, learning about Mr. Sun's experiences.
“So it seems that the dream bubble is just an ordinary dream…” Blanche muttered to herself, “It shouldn’t be too difficult, let’s go in and take a look.”
The next second, Blanche probed into the dream bubble.
While Blanche entered the Dream Bubble, Angel contacted Uriel and Guleimo.
They each found a small dream bubble, one in a cellar and the other in a junkyard.
But just as they were getting ready to try, Angel's voice reached their ears through the cyclone.
"We don't know yet whether the dreamer will cause you any harm. Moreover, even without considering the dreamer, the dream environment itself may pose a risk... For example, some nightmares can lead to changes in the external environment."
"Therefore, my personal suggestion is that you wait until the others come out and confirm that there is no danger before you try it."
Uriel and Guleimo nodded, ultimately choosing to follow Angel's advice.
Before disconnecting, Angor added, "By the way, I just released a few Wind Eyes to monitor Dream Bubble, and then I saw Rigota."
"She is safe and is now wandering alone in a monastery."
After speaking, Angel disconnected the call before Uriel and Guleimo could ask any further questions.
Although Uriel and Gulemo were somewhat helpless, receiving news of Rigota still brought them a great sense of relief...
After turning his attention away from Uriel and Guleimo, Angor glanced at a small garden two streets away, where there was also a small Dream Bubble.
Sean is inside the dream bubble.
Speaking of which, Sean was the second to enter the Dream Bubble... In fact, when he entered the Dream Bubble, Angel hadn't even had a chance to share Mr. Sun's information with him yet.
It must be said that Sean is a bit reckless in some ways.
Angel sighed helplessly and turned his gaze to Uriel's courtyard.
Although Uriel's courtyard was now isolated by a tornado, it did not stop Angell at all. He quickly located Luigi in the travel cabin.
At this point, Luigi had become a physical entity.
Therefore, the sound transmission function is already usable.
Over the next period of time, Angel and Luigi discussed the current situation, and Angel also told Luigi about the external situation.
After listening to Angor's explanation, Luigi pondered for a moment and said, "I think I understand. Because of the reality invasion, this place has become a singularity where reality and illusion intertwine."
"In order to fill this singularity, others are working on the Dream Bubble, using the method of guiding Dreamers to arrive to stabilize the anchor point and fill the hole?"
Angell: "That's one way to put it. How's the situation on your end?"
"Apart from the wind getting stronger in the yard, nothing else has changed."
Is there no new information in the text field?
Luigi nodded: "Not at the moment. I estimate that I will have new information once you have stabilized the anchor point."
At this point, Luigi scratched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly: "I haven't done anything yet, and I've already troubled you guys. I'm so sorry."
Angel: "The way the powers of the Fairy Realm are designed has nothing to do with you. In addition, we will also receive rewards for completing the 'Same Origin Fusion' mission."
"It's good that you don't blame me." Luigi: "So now, all I have to do is wait for you to complete the mission, and I don't have to do anything else?"
Angell: "Yes."
Luigi: "Then hurry up, I'm so bored here."
Angell: "...?"
Ignoring Luigi, Angel turned his gaze away and prepared to leave the Black Stock Building.
Now that he'd already entered the Dawn of Dreams instance, he planned to try his luck with a Dream Bubble.
However, just as Angel stepped out of the black building and headed towards the outer street, he suddenly noticed that the information for the random task "Homogeneous Fusion" in the text bar flashed.
He clicked on the mission information with a puzzled look, and the next second, his eyes were drawn to a line of text.
"Current number of dreamers: 1."
Angell: "???"
How did a dreamer suddenly appear?
Logically, shouldn't Dreamer only appear after dealing with Dream Bubble? Did someone manage to conquer Dream Bubble? So quickly?
Without hesitation, Angell immediately adopted a God's-eye view.
Let's first glance at Mr. Sun... He hasn't reached the medium-sized dream bubble yet.
Sean hasn't come out yet.
Gulemo and Uriel didn't even enter the Dream Bubble.
As for Blanche, she was trembling as she followed a hunched figure, slowly moving from the edge of the clock tower towards the flat top.
Seeing that there was another figure beside Blanche and that the dream bubble in front of the tower clock had disappeared, Angor immediately realized that it must be Blanche who was conquering the dream bubble, and that the hunched figure was the dreamer who had been guided to the outside world by her.
Upon closer inspection, Angell realized that the hunched figure was... a child.
He was carrying a large basket on his back, wearing a black cloak, and with his head down, his whole body was wrapped in the cloak, making him look like a hunched old man.
Through the cloak, Angell could see that the child seemed to be in a daze, his expression completely unfocused, and even his eyes were unfocused.
He seemed to be in a daydream state, lost in thought.
Although he was sleepwalking, he seemed to be able to perfectly avoid danger, walking on the narrow edge of the clock tower as if it were flat ground.
Compared to him, Blanche seemed rather timid and hesitant.
After finally returning to flat ground, the cloaked child continued his sleepwalking and walked downstairs. Blanche called him several times, but he didn't come back.
"Never mind, as long as Dreamwalker is here, it doesn't matter where he goes. He'll only be here for a little over two hours anyway." Blanche originally wanted to chase after him, but after thinking about it, she decided against it. Rather than chasing a tireless sleepwalker, she might as well go find the next Dreambubble strategy.
Blanche patted the sweat off her palms, then opened the map, ready to check out the other dream bubbles around her.
At that moment, Angell's voice came over.
"You've already taken in a dreamer?"
Blanche was taken aback: "It got to you so quickly?"
Angell: "The number of dream visitors is shared by everyone, and I can see the number of dream visitors here."
Blanche glanced at the text box and then realized what was going on.
"How did you manage to win over Mengpao so quickly? You were in there for less than five minutes, right?" Angell's tone was clearly surprised.
He was genuinely surprised.
He had actually considered whether to use a god-like perspective to infiltrate Blanche's dream bubble, but then he thought that Blanche had only just entered the dream bubble and probably wouldn't be able to conquer it so quickly. He decided to find a dream bubble himself first and try it out. If he had any questions, he could discuss them with Blanche later.
As a result, he hadn't even found the Dream Bubble yet, while Blanche had already cleared the game?
And it only took her five minutes!
In just five minutes, Mr. Sun was utterly defeated in his dream.
In just five minutes, Blanche successfully escaped from the dream bubble.
The contrast is absolutely striking!
Blanche: "Perhaps it's because the dream bubble I chose is relatively simple?"
“Simple?” Angell paused for a moment. “Could you explain the process in detail? Or do you have any insights to share?”
"Sharing my experience?" Blanche tilted her head and thought for a moment. "If I had to say, I think the layout of the exit is very important."
Angell: "What do you mean?"
Blanche used her own example to illustrate what exit layout is.
The dream bubble she entered was very similar to Mr. Sun's dream bubble; it was also in a building, but this building had no rooms, only ladders.
A child in a cloak, carrying a basket, sat quietly on the sixth-floor staircase, seemingly contemplating life.
Blanche hid in the dream mist, not daring to approach rashly, but instead taking stock of the things she could use.
Lovely can use it, and so can Snowy Owl's Wardrobe...
Besides that, Blanche has one more thing she can use: an exit.
As a guide, she can set up an exit for the dream bubble, through which the dreamer is led into the dream of dawn.
Blanche tried to get out of the exit, but just then, she received a prompt from the text box:
"Should we set the exit here?"
"whether"
Note 1: Once the exit is set, its location cannot be changed.
"Note 2: The exit may trigger fear in the dreamer to some extent."
Upon seeing the prompt in the text box, Blanche immediately realized that as the exit of the dream bubble, it must be connected to the outside world, and the intrusion of external energy into the dream bubble would cause the dreamer to feel terrified.
As a dream wizard, Blanche knows this very well, because dreams have always been like this... In the words of Professor Camillo, dreams are like a fragile, sensitive skin; once an external force invades, it will immediately contract and turn into goosebumps.
Therefore, when a dream sorcerer first enters someone else's dream, even if he does nothing, the dreamer may sense it and make it become bizarre and fantastical.
The best approach in this situation is... to ignore it.
Because no matter what you do, you're interfering with the dream, and the other person will react. So, just ignore it, or treat these as normal reactions.
In layman's terms, it means—
The exit will definitely affect the dreamer's emotions, so when you decide on a plan to guide the dreamer, you must take this "emotional impact" into account to avoid the plan failing because the dreamer is afraid of the exit.
So, how did Blanche set up this "exit"?
Her choice was to make arrangements in advance, and then lure the enemy into a trap.
She set the exit on one side of the second-floor corridor.
The exit looks like an ordinary door, simple in appearance, but it inexplicably gives people a sense of danger.
After setting up the exit, Blanche did not go up from the exit, but went to the top floor: the tenth floor.
Then, starting from the tenth floor, we began to walk down step by step.
Her footsteps were rhythmic, thump-thump-thump, thump-thump-thump—each step matching her heartbeat, echoing continuously in the dark stairwell.
The sudden appearance of footsteps made "Dream Guest," who was sitting on the sixth floor, look up abruptly.
He seemed startled by the footsteps, and looking up at the endlessly circling stairwell, fear surged into his heart, and he dared not swallow his saliva.
He wanted to run away, but he didn't know where to go.
The doors to the surrounding houses were locked, and the area below the stairwell was pitch black with an eerie atmosphere, so he dared not go down.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, the calm footsteps continued to echo down the stairs, from the ninth floor to the eighth floor...
As the footsteps grew closer and louder, Mengke finally gritted his teeth, stopped hesitating, and ran down the stairwell.
Blanche continued calmly downstairs, like a midnight stairwell chaser relentlessly pursuing the dreamer.
……
"So, you scared him by making footsteps, using that method to force Mengke downstairs?" Angell asked, somewhat surprised.
“I guess so.” Blanche nodded.
Aren't you afraid he'll be woken up?
Mr. Sun woke the child up, which caused the dream bubble to last much longer.
Blanche: "Don't worry, when I first became a dream witch, I did this kind of thing all the time. I know very well the threshold of these dreams. Just the sound of footsteps, without me even coming out, is not enough to wake him up."
The reason Mr. Sun woke up the dreamer was because he came directly to the dreamer's side, causing the dreamer's fear level to skyrocket.
"In short, I forced him to come downstairs by the sound of footsteps, even though the smell of the exit made him afraid of going downstairs; but compared to the psychological fear caused by the approaching footsteps, the fear of going downstairs was obviously less, so he kept coming downstairs."
"And me? I just kept chasing after it."
"Until we reached the second floor."
At this moment, Dreamer had already seen the door on the second-floor hallway, but fear prevented him from going forward. Even as Blanche's footsteps grew closer, he dared not push the door open.
So, Mengke continued downstairs, preparing to escape from the first floor.
Just as he turned around and ran towards the first floor, a white shadow without legs or a head suddenly floated out of the first-floor corridor and flew towards him.
The dreamer was startled.
He immediately turned and ran away.
But there were footsteps above and headless white shadows below. He was caught in a dilemma, with nowhere to run.
Finally, he glanced at the exit on the second floor, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and rushed inside...
