Chapter 105 Okay, I’ll keep it a secret, it was Klein who did it!
"Stop, good, you can rest now..."

Dunn Smith pulled the reins with his right hand and stopped the carriage. He did not drive into the town of Turk, but stopped on the side of the road outside the town so that the horses could lower their heads and eat the weeds.

The horses pulling the cart in front were very tired. The one and a half hour journey was shortened to one hour thanks to Dunn's excellent driving skills... The price was that the horses needed to rest because they had to run at full speed several times along the way.

Dunn quickly lowered his head and pressed his left hand between his eyebrows. As if he was tired from the journey, he immediately fell into a deep sleep. Circles of invisible ripples spread out, and under the thin black windbreaker behind him, there were poisonous snake-like things wriggling.

He is using all his strength to activate his "nightmare" ability and enter a dream!
There are two types of nightmares that "pull people into dreams":

When the distance is very close, it can directly and quickly pull the opponent into the dream and trap them in the dream, which is often only suitable for head-on confrontation situations;
When the distance is within 100 meters, the effect will be weakened, but it is still effective. It just takes time and a process and cannot be completed all at once, just like coaxing a child to sleep.

However, when Nightmare does not need to pull people into the dream, but only completes the "entering the dream", they will transform into true extraordinary beings in the night. The real "Nightmare" is only Sequence 7, and the dream entry range can cover the entire Tingen city area, and freely enter and exit the dreams of every sleeping person within the range.

——This also caused Klein a lot of trouble. The captain always went to his dream to eat the food he had just made with the "Sun Kitchen Knife"... But he had to pretend that he didn't know and just watched from the side... At that time, it was not that the captain ran to the vicinity of his home. Dunn only needed to stay at his own home or the Blackthorn Security Company to take advantage of the special features of nightmares and use each dream as a springboard to achieve this magical effect.

Now, Dunn has a clear target - Coenli. In Klein's description, Leonard is carrying the unconscious Coenli on his back and running away... Although you won't dream when you are unconscious, nightmares can use this sleep-like state to locate you! This is Dunn's plan. This is the step he planned while forcing himself to calm down on the way. There can be no time to waste!

In a gray world, Dunn appeared in Coenley's house. Seeing the dazed "sleepless man", he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Coenley, who had lost his ability to move, was still alive, so Leonard must be fine!
Dunn raised his head suddenly, with some doubt in his deep eyes. In the "nightmare" perception, Coenli was actually in a town not far away? Were they caught? Were they caught by the incarnation of the evil god, but not killed?
His expression became serious. He forced himself to suppress the trance in his head and all his worries. He jumped off the carriage, started walking, and quickly headed towards the place he had sensed before.

……

"Old man, who was that lady before? What is that pea vine? Elemental Dawn... Is that the leader of Elemental Dawn?" After this incident, Leonard's trust in the old man increased greatly. After all, he had said before that he would give up control of his body... But the old man obviously didn't do it, he just said it, and he even helped him secretly! Otherwise, with the strength shown by the evil god after incarnation, he and Conley would never be able to escape from the castle in the suburbs!

"...You'd better follow your colleague's advice and keep what happened today confidential. Don't mention anyone other than that lady, including your colleague.

"It's normal for the people from the Dawn of Elements to find the head of the members of the Moss Ascetic Order. Today, that lady showed up in time and killed the archaeologist. The Beyonder's characteristics and the body were taken away, leaving only the male bodyguard who was unconscious in the castle..."

Suddenly, the voice in Leonard's mind stopped, and then he felt sleepy and immediately fell into a dream. In his drowsiness, he saw a huge crimson moon hanging in the sky. Under the moon was a man with deep gray eyes and wearing a thin black windbreaker. He couldn't help but said in surprise:
"Captain! You're finally here! Um... no, I didn't mean..."

"Leonard, where are the enemies?" Dunn used all his strength to activate Nightmare's ability. It seemed as if there was a wriggling monster hidden under his black windbreaker. Ripples spread out in circles. He asked seriously but with some doubt.

"Enemy? The enemy has been eliminated. I captured a male bodyguard who seems to be a member of the Moss Ascetic Order. Cornley is not seriously injured, he just fainted..." Leonard answered subconsciously. There was no trace of secrets in the content because they were all stolen by the old man.

"...Huh, I'm glad you're okay." Dunn's doubts did not diminish, but he did not find any strong enemies nearby... As soon as he finished speaking, what Leonard saw in front of him was shattered. He saw the hotel room again, the open door, and the real, always calm and reliable figure. He quickly stood up and said, "Captain!" Then he recalled everything in his brief dream just now, feeling a little embarrassed. If it wasn't for the old man, then everything he promised Klein would have been leaked...

Dunn walked quickly to the bedside of Cohen Li, and seeing the team member with his eyes closed, he frowned and asked, "What was the specific situation? How was the enemy eliminated?"

"Yes! After receiving the mission, Coenli and I began to track the target and followed them to an ancient castle on the outskirts of Turk Town. They seemed to be real archaeologists. Uh, they were very professional in my opinion.

"But after we followed into the castle, the female archaeologist suddenly changed. Her eyes... so many eyes. Cohen fell unconscious in an instant. I didn't look directly at that figure. I immediately carried Cohen on my back and left...

"That figure was chasing us relentlessly, but he seemed to be playing a trick on us. Perhaps he used us as bait in a trap, otherwise we wouldn't be able to escape... His target must be you! And Klein, he must be resentful of the incident with Old Neil last time...

"We have been running for a long time. I dare not stop. I am a little scared... I hope you can come to support me, but I am also afraid that you will fall into his trap...

"When I was close to the limit, suddenly, countless pea vines fell from the sky, as if it was a dreamlike magic... I didn't see the caster, but I heard it was a lady. The lady instantly solved the incarnation, and then said that she was a member of the Dawn of Elements, and came to Tingen in pursuit of the members of the 'Moss Ascetic Order'...

“Captain! That lady said that a while ago, the Hidden Sage sent a message of ‘Tingen, Nighthawk’ to all Beyonders in the Secret Peer Path! It’s obviously aimed at us... We may have to guard against their attacks in the future..."

Dunn rubbed his temples, his serious expression softened a little, and said:
"I'm sorry, Leonard. It was my misjudgment that put you in such a dangerous situation...

“Elemental Dawn… If it’s them, it makes sense. Rumor has it that this organization has been targeting the Moss Ascetic Order.

"The one who was able to quickly deal with the incarnation of the evil god must be at least a high-sequence expert... It seems that the goddess is blessing you and Tingen...

"But we can't completely believe this statement. Perhaps we can get more information from the captives you captured."

Then, Dunn looked at the man dressed as a bodyguard who was tied up with ropes on the ground next to him and said:

"Leonard, are you still able to move? We must return to the headquarters quickly, interrogate the prisoners, report to the Holy Temple, and request reinforcements to prevent the hidden sage from coming again..."

　thanks for watching!
