Chapter 206 Sleepyhead
The museum is not quiet at midnight.
In the exhibition hall next door, the sounds of fights among the exhibits could be heard from time to time, occasionally mixed with the loud voice of a certain singer, and the strange roars of magical creatures.
Although the exhibits in the temporary exhibition hall where the Exoneration Hunting Team is located lack the vitality of the museum exhibits, they are not dead objects either. When the young wizards gathered in front of the mirror to discuss how to get in and out of the magic mirror, a circle of spectators gathered around them before they knew it.
For example, there is a bronze statue of the Traveler with most of his body covered with a suitcase; an old master holding a Dharma book and fluttering robes; an astronomer holding a telescope and pointing the lens at the young wizards; and the moss-covered figure all over his body. A stone-man girl with a willow dog lying beside her.
Maodou leaned close to the thin willow dog, wagging its tail happily, seeming to be very interested in this kind of person with a unique nature. It's just that the thin willow dog always lay dignifiedly beside the stone man girl, not squinting, as if he couldn't see the cheerful gray dog next to him.
These onlookers watched the young wizards' discussion quietly but happily, pointing at the magic mirror next to them from time to time.
Because Zheng Qing and others were busy with business and no longer responded to the provocations of the mirror demons, most of the boring mirror demons in the magic mirror had disappeared from the mirror, leaving only a few skinny and lifeless mirror demons still sitting on the mirror. In the corner, inquire about the movements of the young wizards.
Xiao Xiao's volume was not high, but this temporary exhibition hall was empty and quiet, so his voice clearly echoed in the ears of every young hunter:
"...On the path of dream makers, as the elders said, we don't know who the dream makers are, nor do we know their fees, and we don't have any more time to waste looking for them."
"The magic rituals at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, although widely spread, are well-known dangers. Because that time is the most brilliant moment of the twenty-four hours a day. No one knows what we are summoning through the mirror. Existence. In many circulating stories, the endings of the mirror world entered through this method are not so happy.”
"Of course, there isn't much beauty in the mirror to begin with."
"As for the other two methods mentioned by the squad leader... there are many cliffs in dreams. Without correct guidance, it is difficult for us to climb to the right cliff and jump off with the correct posture. The biggest problem when walking down the steps is How many steps should we take? Forty-nine or fifty steps. Although the difference is only one step, it is a huge difference."
“It doesn’t necessarily mean jumping off a cliff.”
Zhang Jixin held his chin with one hand and held his elbow with the other. He interrupted Xiao Xiao's analysis and said thoughtfully: "The squad leader's grandma's house is in the mountains, so when telling stories, cliffs are used as examples. But we are in The island is surrounded by the sea. I have a cousin who lives by the sea. He has heard similar stories, but in the story, the wizard is taken to the dreamland by a white ship, and the captain of that ship is said to be. A wizard who has obtained permanent residence in the Dreamland.”
Jiang Yu nodded suddenly, agreeing with his statement.
"Both the white ship and the cliff are a bit far away from us now." Zheng Qing put away his pocket watch and looked at the doctor anxiously: "So, what is your 'good way'? How do we get into this place?" Mirror... Also, you just said that you already know the principle of entering the mirror world through this mirror, what is it? "
Xiao Xiao took out the crystal ball again and restored the scene a moment ago.
In the crystal ball, the frame seemed like a distorted solar eclipse, with an irregular black shadow in the center, and a pattern of dazzling white halo surrounding the black shadow appeared in front of everyone again.
"This is a gap in space."
Xiao Xiao simply explained: "This gap is located between reality and the mirror world. It was captured by a certain great wizard and then solidified in this mirror, making this mirror a door to a different space."
"How do we get in?" Zheng Qing asked again.
"Dream." Xiao Xiao made a pun: "If you always hold on to the idea of 'going through this door', then you may not be able to pass this mirror in your life... I am not your gentleman, and there is no way to push you in. ”
Zheng Qing smiled bitterly and agreed.
"But we can pass through this mirror in dreams." Xiao Xiao put away the crystal ball, gently touched the magic pattern on the Roman column on the left side of the magic mirror with his fingers, and murmured: "The premise is that we need to have the same dream. "
"This sounds difficult." The fat man muttered, and then seemed to whisper something, but because the voice was too low, no one heard it clearly.
Zheng Qing completely understood Fatty's concerns.
If all of you here are rough men of the Exoneration Hunting Team, then let’s have a dream together—if we can do it—there will be no psychological burden on anyone.
But there is another witch in the hunting party today.
And a beautiful witch.
Zheng Qing very much doubted whether the young wizards who could not fully control their dreams would reveal some bad thoughts in their dreams.
Just thinking about it makes you want to give up.
Perhaps only Fatty Xin and Zheng Qing thought of this worry. Xiao Xiao thought that the "very difficult" Fatty said meant that it was difficult for five people to have the same dream.
He cheerfully took out a small bottle and held it in the air:
"It's not difficult to say it. With its help, it will be no problem."
"What is this?" Zheng Qing looked carefully at the curled up translucent insects in the bottle. They looked like incompletely developed earthworms, but the aura they exuded felt a little familiar to Zheng Qing.
He was pretty sure he had never seen a bug like this before.
This contradictory feeling makes people frown.
"Sandoshi." Xiao Xiao's answer was somewhat unexpected: "Last semester, the school working committee caught those swarms of sandworms and cultivated some larvae. This is the reward I just received some time ago."
Jiang Yu glanced at Zheng Qing.
The elixir that Dr. Du Zemu prepared for Zheng Qing used royal jelly. She also knew the origin of those insects.
Zheng Qing's brows furrowed even more tightly.
"I've seen the shape of sand, and it's different from yours." He looked at the small curled things in the bottle, a little unsure: "I remember they were beetles."
"This is the sand larvae, also known as the 'sleepy bug'," Xiao Xiao tapped the glass bottle with his fingertips, looked at the motionless little bugs, and added: "When they eat for a long enough time, they can maintain their vitality." After the line goes through metamorphosis, it will evolve into 'sloths', which are the adult sandworms we caught last year."
"Even if you can make us have the same dream, how can you be sure that the mirror can also enter our dreams?" Zheng Qing has one last question: "Furthermore, if we enter the mirror world from dreams, can Zhu Si Really rescued?"
