Sobbing, Kris took the tissue and nodded. "It's him, it's him. I saw Dean too. He was hanging there, and he asked me to save him. "
Luke shook his head. "That was just an illusion."
Seeing that Kris was about to say something, he raised his hand to stop her. "It was an illusion that the monster gave you, not your imagination. He was trying to scare you."
Stumped for a moment, Kris didn't understand. "Huh?"
Pondering for a moment, Luke said, "It took about three minutes for you to fall asleep and for us to wake you up. In those three minutes, you weren't hurt by him. You were just terrified. So, his goal was to make you panic. "
Kris was at a loss. "Why?"
Fear was also a form of faith and a form of strength. Luke thought to himself.
In China's ancient legends, many monsters were worshiped. Was it because they did good things?
No. It was because they used fear to make people fear and worship them.
The more people feared them, the more fearless they would be.
Faced with Kris's confusion, Luke could only say with a smile, "It's fine. At least we know how to wake you up. Don't worry, we'll take care of him."
Kris nodded blankly.
Luke gave Selina a look and asked her to comfort the girl.
Unlike what he said, he actually didn't have any particularly effective methods.
When Kris had fallen asleep and encountered the person in her nightmare, he had touched her body with his hands but to no avail. At most, he had shaken her to wake her up.
That was where the awkwardness came from.
Kris had been so frightened by the nightmare that she had burst into tears, but Luke didn't have any effective methods to find the enemy.
I hate this kind of non-physical opponent the most! Can't you learn from Jason and have a solid body? Luke complained inwardly.
He got up and walked to the window. Pondering for a moment, he took out his phone and dialed a number. "Bobby? I have something to do here, and I need you to come over immediately … "
A moment later, he hung up the phone.
Bobby would be here in a few hours at most. Luke wasn't too nervous as he analyzed the situation of the person in the nightmare.
First of all, whatever it was that was haunting Kris, he hadn't chosen the adults in this town.
Perhaps he couldn't do this, or perhaps he couldn't.
Secondly, this thing required the victim to be asleep before it would appear in their dreams.
Luke and Selina, on the other hand, were now full of energy, and it wouldn't be a problem for them to stay up for a day or two. He was also a man who only slept two hours a day.
If he really wanted to stay up all night, it wouldn't be a problem for him not to sleep for three days. At most, he would feel unavoidable mental discomfort.
If this matter couldn't be resolved in a short period of time, he would still leave with Selina.
Just like that, the sky gradually darkened.
Luke also went to Kris's kitchen and made sandwiches and milk. He gave one to Selina and the other to Kris.
Looking at Kris's surprised expression, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, before we leave, we will replenish your fridge back to its original state. Your mother won't find out."
The corners of Kris's mouth curled up. She couldn't help but chuckle. "No need. At most, I'll tell Mom that I ate them all."
She looked at the plates in Luke and Selina's hands and continued, "Sorry, I was just a little … surprised." Luke and Selina had more than twice as much food on their plates as she did.
Luke shrugged. "That's right. We're detectives of the Major Crimes Division, and we need to maintain our strength at all times. What if we run into a fugitive and run out of energy to chase them?"
Kris exclaimed, "Is that so? But a lot of the police officers I've seen are quite fat. "
Luke nodded solemnly. "That proves that they don't have as much exercise as we do when chasing fugitives."
Stumped for a moment, Kris couldn't help but purse her lips again.
Selina glanced at them and didn't say anything.
Although it was very suspicious that Luke was flirting with her, she knew that Kris's trust would be very helpful in their investigation.
Otherwise, they would have to find a small inn and waste the night.
After they finished eating, Kris couldn't help but yawn.
Seeing that, Luke said, "Go take a nap on the couch."
Kris shuddered violently. "No."
Luke reached out and patted the back of her hand. "Don't be scared. We're here. If there's a problem, we'll wake you up immediately. Right, do you see that? "He gestured to the side.
Kris turned her head. "What?"
Luke said, "The ice cubes in the wine barrel will slowly melt into ice water. Trust me, you won't be able to stay awake in front of it. "
Kris was stunned and lost for words.
She had seen Luke take out the barrel of ice from the kitchen earlier, and had thought that he was going to drink cold beer or wine. It turned out that this was his plan.
Looking at the barrel of ice, Kris couldn't help but shiver again.
This time, it wasn't because she was scared, but because she felt a chill down her spine at the thought of the barrel of ice mixed with water being poured over her head.
Looking at her expression, Luke gestured at her, and they sat down on the couch in the living room.
He reached out with both hands and slowly grasped hers.
Kris didn't resist, and simply looked at him strangely.
Luke tightened his grip and said solemnly, "Kris, since we're here to help you, you should have more courage to fight him, right?"
Kris's hands tightened, but she still nodded.
Luke then continued, "So, if he appears in your dreams again later …"
He slowly rubbed the back of her hands with his thumbs, giving her a comforting hint. "You have to observe everything about him as much as possible. His words, his actions, she would memorize as much as she could. But don't force yourself. Just do your best, got it? "
Kris hesitated and didn't respond.
Luke stared at her calmly.
Looking into his eyes for a moment, Kris finally nodded slowly. "I-I got it."
Ten minutes later, Luke and Selina looked at each other in bewilderment.
He couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, 'That guy … Could it be that he knows?
Selina gave him a sympathetic look and sighed. She gestured at him with a questioning look in her eyes.
Luke thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
A moment later, Selina sat down on the couch and closed her eyes to rest.
She wasn't Luke, who would get tired faster if she stayed tense for too long, and when she was tired, it was easy for her to get sleepy.
Nobody knew how long this would take, but she had to get through it tonight. She still had to conserve her energy.
She couldn't sleep, but closing her eyes to rest could also relieve her fatigue.
