The monster broke free and became more violent. Ayla dodged the Shoggoth's attack again, and let a sticky flame condense in her hand. With her movements, the burst of flames ignited the monster into a huge torch .

She used the Levitation Charm to back herself into a corner, out of the way of the monster's frantic struggle.

"...what if I get hurt or die in the dream."

Shadow admired the dancing torches in the center of the factory while answering somewhat casually.

"You are awake now, so you will not receive any real threats in your dream world. Even if there is danger, you can choose to wake up before that. On the contrary, if you do not realize that this is a dream, the spirit It is very likely that you will be trapped here by [death]. The same is true after entering other people's dreams, where you will lose the right to choose. So if I were you, I would not wake them up."

Ayla nodded, and the monster's struggle slowly subsided. After all, it was just a phantom and not a real Shoggoth.

After leaving the factory, the outside environment became even more absurd and twisted, with white flames and huge vortices spinning in the sky, the White Church in the snow, the Castle of Glamis and the cries of babies everywhere...

These elements that have left huge traces in Ella's life are huddled together to form every inch of the dream world. They symbolize Ella's memories and emotions in her subconscious, and she sees them in these areas. There were vague figures of Ling, the professors, the Meckle brothers and sisters, and many more.

At the center of the chaos, Ella noticed a black hut she couldn't remember where she'd seen it.

It looks like a large coffin, dark, with no windows or chimney, only a small iron door.

On the rivet-covered door hung a strong brass lock. Ella tried a few spells, but couldn't open it.

"what is this?"

"Who knows. This is your dream, not mine."

Ella quickly gave up trying, although she was a little concerned, but now is not the time, she should help her companion regain consciousness as soon as possible.

The boundary of Ella's dream is the train station set up by the Kraft School in London, where everything begins.

Beyond the border is thick fog and a large void.

Ayla noticed something like a bridge hidden in the mist, connecting another area across the void.

"This is connected to another person's dream, maybe your good roommate's, or that young master's, as for the specifics, you probably won't know until you enter, remember! Be careful, I don't want to accompany you Trapped in whose dream."

Shadow grows a little more serious,

Ella was very curious, and she asked funnyly,

"Are you really going to be stuck here with me? I thought you could leave at any time."

"Who knows, our spirits are still connected, I don't dream."

Ayla took a deep breath, stepped onto the bridge in the mist, and started walking.

The time in the mist seems to stop, or there is no concept of time in the dream.

Everyone may have had this kind of cognition, dreams seem to have spent a long time in units of years, or just a few short minutes, but they are all sleep.Whether it's long, short, or just a moment, the outside world spends the same amount of time.

The length of the bridge seems to be extremely short, and it seems to have no fundamental end. Ella doesn't know how long she walked, but the white mist gradually thinned out, and the shadow of the building appeared in front of her.

There was a huge manor in front of her. Ella had been to the "Faust" Manor, which belonged to the Mephisto family and was located on the outskirts of Paisley.

In my impression, compared with the building in front of me, the style there seems to be much darker, but the world in the dream will be distorted according to the subconsciousness of the owner. Ayla is not sure whether it belongs to Ling or Hyde.

Anyway, Ella decided to start exploring, she needs to find the owner of the dream as soon as possible.

Chapter 34 The False

Passing through the hollow copper-colored gate, at the end of the spacious avenue is a French retro Rococo-style building. The main building avoids square corners as much as possible, making it appear more rounded and delicate.On both sides of the stone road are white roses in full bloom. They are probably also affected by magic. The white roses that originally had a short flowering period will bloom in winter.

It was just nightfall, and the north wind was flecked with fine ice crystals, and the air was dry and cold.

Ella was sure now that this was Hyde's dream.

This is not the Faust Manor she had been to, it should be the White Rose Manor that Hyde mentioned belongs to the Belusay family.Compared with the former, the scale here may be smaller, but more refined.

Out of caution, Ella concealed her figure, which may not have any effect in reality. There is a strong magic protection in White Rose Manor, and it is easy to find intruders who hide here, but it is just a place after all. Unreal dreams.

The unreal White Rose Manor is different from Ella's dream, and it does not appear to be significantly distorted in terms of architecture and environment.But the grotesqueness is revealed as Ayla approaches the main building.

Two creatures dressed as waiters stood in front of the main building. There was nothing abnormal below their collars, but they had pig heads growing on human bodies.

They wear loose masks over the faces of pigs, with human smiley faces drawn on them.

The pigs were talking in the human language, but they couldn't hide the clucking behind the masks, and the saliva dripped from behind the masks, making a disgusting slap on their fronts.

"Master Straw is gone again, I don't know what kind of woman he will bring back this time."

"Who knows, Mrs. Mariana is really pitiful."

"Are you serious? Who is more pitiful than us, standing guard here in such a cold night?"

"Who says it's not the case... That weird young master is probably still playing chess with me."

"Keep your voice down—"

The pigs didn't find Ella, and the girl entered the hall of the main building along the carpet, where the temperature suddenly became warmer.

The height of the main hall is more than thirty feet, a large number of candlesticks and the use of special stone make the whole space warm as spring.

The decoration here is very characteristic, and the wood with a warm texture replaces the common marble.There are no classical paintings and reliefs on the walls, but intricate panels with gold thread moldings, finely broken clam shells and hanging ceramics can be seen everywhere.

The decoration here is mainly gold, and the dome is visible under the bright crystal lamp, which is a sky blue mural with a white cloud pattern.

In the process of exploring, Ella saw butlers, maids, chefs or some other people dressed up, but they all wore pig's heads and weird smiling masks.

With the experience in Faust Manor, it didn't take Ella long to find the room where the owners were.

First, she saw a hysterical woman in the largest bedroom. She yelled at all the servants who approached the room and tried to smash everything in the room.She wore a mask like the servants, but behind the mask was a face that looked like a reptile or a dragon. The smell of sulfur gushed out of her nostrils along with sparks, and the mask had been burnt black and nearly destroyed.

Ella retreated carefully, and found the second master bedroom not too far away.

She used a simple magic to open the door, and a boy who was at most six or seven years old sat obediently on the floor, facing a chess piece made of crystal.

Ella saw many shadows belonging to Hyde from the boy, but she never dared to confirm his identity.Even compared to Hyde Belusay in the first grade, there was a certain decisive difference between the boy in front of him.She thought it was a difference in temperament, because the boy lacked Hyde's annoying arrogance.

After a long time, she tried to ask,

"Hyde?"

The boy looked up, frowned, with a puzzled expression, but finally gave a polite smile.

"Yes, I am Hyde Beluse, sister, who are you?"

Ella couldn't help touching her forehead, God knows how this well-behaved and polite boy in front of her turned into the ghost in the future.

"My name is Ella Williams, and I'm... your future friend. In short, Hyde, wake up quickly, this is your dream, and it will be dangerous to continue to sleep!"

The young Hyde showed a puzzled expression. He seemed to feel that the person in front of him was a little familiar, but he felt that what she said was a little inexplicable.

"The future? What is that... I don't quite understand what you mean."

Ella was a little irritable, she was thinking about how to make Hyde sober, and then she needed to go to Ling's dream.The bodies of all three are now in the ruins of the temple, and if the wizard who hides behind the ghoul returns, they will all be in danger.

Ella thought of the opportunity for her sobriety. Apart from the reminder of the shadow, she also had signs of sobriety at that time. The reason seemed to be that she had discovered the sense of disobedience in Henry's old house. This should be a breakthrough.

"Don't you find it strange? The servants and housekeepers in the manor, they are monsters with masks!"

Hyde was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be smiling happily,

"Can Sister Ella see those too? But it's not surprising, there is only one [person] in the manor, no, maybe there should be two now, and the others are monsters with masks. The servants and the housekeeper look The gods respect me, but it’s really just a trough for them. My mother hates my father, and she hides her anger in a mask, but that mask seems to be breaking."

Ella was speechless for a moment. Everyone in Noda's manor wore masks towards the young Hyde.In his subconscious, he painted the people behind the masks as ugly monsters. In this environment, the distortion of his character really seemed to only need an opportunity.

Ella seems to have thought of something. Hyde has been brooding over himself and her victory or defeat. Maybe he can start from here and wake him up through some kind of stimulation.

"Hyde, let me play chess with you."

"Really?"

Young Hyde became excited,

"To be honest, playing chess with yourself is really boring. The servants will deliberately lose to me, which is even more boring. But you can't beat me, I am very strong."

Ella has only been in school with Ling a few times, and her level is very average, which makes her feel a little nervous.

As the game begins, Ayla uses the citrine pieces, while Hyde remains on the purple side.

As expected, it didn't take long for Ayla's situation to be completely suppressed.

"I told you, I'm strong."

Hyde smiled to expand his advantage, Ella was stunned as if thinking of something, and then covered her mouth with her hand as if yawning.

"Are you tired?"

Hyde was a little disappointed,

"No."

Ella smiled, her expression becoming confident.

The situation began to reverse, Ella seemed to be able to guess Hyde's thoughts in advance at every step, and reversed the disadvantage in an instant.

Now Hyde is only six or seven years old and has not yet awakened magic power, let alone entered Kraft, so it is impossible for him to find traces of magic.With this in mind, Ayla yawned and uttered a spell, a weak mind-reading spell that would normally do little but be more than adequate for a young child.

In short - yes, Ayla cheated shamefully.

"General."

The boy was stunned. Following Ella's declaration, he raised his head in disbelief, his expression seemed a little aggrieved.

But soon, he seemed to remember something, and his body began to change, like the water shadow that had been disrupted and reorganized, and turned into the Hyde that Ella was familiar with.

"Williams?"

Ella sighed as if she had lost something, Hyde was stared at by her a little hairy, and was about to get angry when he found himself in the bedroom where he stared.

"This is my home? Why are you here? No... I remember being in a temple deep in the rainforest."

Ella roughly explained the concept of the dream world, everything she knew, only the shadow part was hidden.

Hyde quickly accepted this statement, but at this moment, there was a heavy knock on the door.Ella had used magic to walk in before, so the door was still locked.

"Open the door! Hyde, open the door for me!"

The knock on the door was heavy and hasty, and after a brief silence, it became the sound of turning a key again.

There seemed to be a woman's voice in the master bedroom outside the door, and Hyde's expression suddenly became ugly. It was a face that was intertwined with fear and hatred, and also a little sad.

He stood up, pushed down the wardrobe and blocked the door, very quickly.

"Let's go through the window, now!"
