The Moon Realm, the confessional of the Church of Brilliance.
The Moon Lady leaned on Mr. Sun's shoulder and whispered what she had seen in Uriel's dream last night.
The Moon Lady had come to Uriel's attic at around nine. After he had fallen asleep, she had used the Dream Reading Spell to observe Uriel's dream.
The scene in the dream was near the Church of Brilliance in Dawn City.
Uriel's attic was opposite the Church of Brilliance. Of course, this was only the layout of the dream. In reality, the Church of Brilliance was still very far away from Uriel's attic.
When the Moon Lady saw the "attic" in Uriel's dream, she immediately smelled something fishy.
According to the information they had received, Luigi would only appear when Uriel dreamed of the attic.
Now that the attic had appeared, did that mean Luigi was nearby?
The Moon Lady carefully "read" Uriel's dream.
Uriel walked out of the Church of Brilliance in a daze. He looked tired and his head was almost buried in his chest.
With heavy steps, he walked toward the attic.
The Moon Lady did not know what had happened, but from Uriel's dejected steps, she could see that he was not in a good mood.
However, as Uriel walked closer to the attic, his expression became more relaxed.
It was as if the tattered attic was his promised land. It could shelter him from the wind and rain. It was a warm harbor.
Just as Uriel was about to return home, a few figures in clerical robes blocked his path.
From their robes, they were probably priests of the Church of Brilliance.
Uriel was clearly excited when he saw them.
These priests, on the other hand, had calm expressions on their faces. It seemed as though they wanted to talk to Uriel.
But …
Before they could speak, the scene changed. Uriel was on the attic's balcony, silently looking at the night sky and stars.
Yes, it was still daytime one second, and the next, it was night.
Looking at the silent night sky, Uriel seemed to think of something. He softly hummed a song …
And then, there was no more.
"That's the whole thing." The Moon Lady tilted her head and looked at her lover. "Do you think this dream is strange?"
Mr. Sun shook his head. "I can't judge without seeing it with my own eyes. What do you think about it? "
The Moon Lady thought for a moment. "Although the dream happened in the attic, after I woke up and thought about it carefully, I still felt that something was wrong."
"This is more like a normal dream. There's nothing unusual about it."
"As for why the characters, details, and environment in this dream are so clear, I guess it's because he's having a lucid dream."
Lucid dreams were lucid dreams.
In normal dreams, because the dreamer's thoughts were chaotic, the surrounding environment was basically blurry. Even the people in the dream were pixelated.
However, if it was a clear dream, then the thoughts in the dream would also be clear. As long as one's cognition was sufficient, they would be able to clearly construct the surrounding grass and trees.
Personally, the Lady of the Moon felt that Uriel's dream was a lucid one, not an abnormal one.
Because she really couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Uriel had seen a few people in robes, but none of them were Luigi. The Lady of the Moon had already scanned the Church of the Glorious Glory with her telepathic will and found the person in Uriel's dream.
They were just normal people.
Perhaps they had some sort of love and hate relationship with Uriel, but there was no "abnormal" connection.
The Lady of the Moon sighed. "But that's just my guess. After all, my ability to read dreams is too weak to be accurate."
"Let's not talk about me." The Lady of the Moon turned to Mr. Sun. "Right, how's the situation on your side? I've noticed that you've been acting weird ever since you came back. What's wrong? "
The Lady of the Moon was just saying that casually, but when she finished, she saw Mr. Sun looking at her silently. She seemed to have expected something. "… Could it be that I'm right?"
"Is there really a situation?!"
Mr. Sun nodded. "Yes, there's a situation on my side … You can call it 'abnormal'. But I don't know if it has anything to do with Luigi. "
The Lady of the Moon broke free from Mr. Sun's embrace and stood up. She sat opposite Mr. Sun and rested her chin on her palms. Her expression said, "I'll leave the stage to you."
Even the little black cat was tired. It followed the Lady of the Moon's example and rested its head on its paws. It tilted its head and stared at Mr. Sun with its eyes wide open.
The man and the cat were all present. Mr. Sun chuckled and told them about his "dream experience."
The Lady of the Moon's reading of Uriel's dream was actually very dull. She spent most of her time on the balcony looking at the stars.
Mr. Sun's experience was even more dull. It could even be said that it was boring.
Because he didn't enter Gulimo's dream at all.
Back to yesterday.
During the day, they had a good chat with Gulimo in the name of visitors. They talked about the music in his dream and learned a lot of secrets.
Because they had a good chat, Gulimo even invited them to stay in the castle on the Night Mountain.
Mr. Sun and the Lady of the Moon agreed.
At night, after everyone fell asleep, the Lady of the Moon went to the city to read Uriel's dream. Mr. Sun walked to the third floor of the castle and entered Gulimo's dream.
At that time, Gulimo had just fallen asleep for two seconds when Mr. Sun was ready to go.
He directly entered Gulimo's dream through Dream Reading.
However, this "dream" wasn't the real body because Gulimo hadn't entered the dreamscape yet. He was still on the dream bridge.
Mr. Sun also followed Gulimo into the pitch-black dream bridge.
In his vision, Gulimo was walking towards the depths of the dream bridge and was about to disappear into the darkness in the distance.
Mr. Sun hurriedly controlled his consciousness and chased after him.
At first, Mr. Sun could still see Gulimo's back, but after a few seconds, Gulimo disappeared on the dark dream bridge.
Mr. Sun thought that he was too slow, so he immediately increased the flying speed of his consciousness. However, no matter how fast he rushed, he couldn't see Gulimo's figure.
Mr. Sun's consciousness kept trekking on the dream bridge.
Along the way, Mr. Sun tried to return to reality.
Returning to reality was a success, but when he entered Gulimo's dream again through Dream Reading, he still appeared in the long, lonely dream bridge that led to an unknown destination.
Although Mr. Sun was not a dream-type wizard, he knew very well that before anyone had a dream, they would go through the dream bridge and reach the dream world.
However, most dream bridges only existed for an instant, perhaps even less than 0.1 seconds.
Therefore, many people ignored dream bridges and didn't even know of their existence.
However, Gulimo's dream bridge was very long … It was like an endless road with no end in sight.
Most importantly, as the owner of the dream bridge, where did Gulimo go?
If his dream was just a dream bridge, then shouldn't he exist on the dream bridge too?
Moreover, there was something that was very difficult to explain. The Dream Reader could only use the dream owner as the core. Even if his consciousness could leave the dream owner, it could only be a few meters away from him.
However, Mr. Sun couldn't see Gulimo at all on the dream bridge. His Dream Reading was still active, as if Gulimo was nearby.
This was obviously not right.
This was most likely an "anomaly".
To further confirm, Gulimo even went into the dreams of the castle's servants, but the dreams of the others were normal.
This meant that his guess was right. There was indeed an "anomaly" in Gulimo's dream.
The Moon Lady nodded when she heard this.
She didn't see the endless dream bridge with her own eyes, but the dream bridge being stretched infinitely was abnormal in itself.
However, the Moon Lady was also confused. "But why is this a dream bridge? Shouldn't it be Luigi?"
Mr. Sun pondered for a moment and said, "I thought so too back then. I even guessed that the theme of Gulimo's dream was the 'dream bridge.'"
After that, I used 'Concept Detection' to check the underlying logic of Gulimo's current state. "
The Moon Lady hurriedly asked, "What's the result?"
Mr. Sun didn't hide the answer. "I sensed … the presence of the Nightmare Realm and the Dream Realm."
Earlier, when they found the Black Sheep Confession in the castle, the music score already had the distinct presence of the Nightmare Realm and the Dream Realm.
This meant that anything related to the "anomaly" could be tainted by the presence of the Nightmare Realm and the Dream Realm at the same time.
Now, Mr. Sun sensed the presence in Gulimo's underlying logic, which meant that Gulimo's current dream must be related to the "anomaly".
But why did Luigi, the core of the anomaly, disappear? Mr. Sun didn't know.
The Moon Lady asked, "Maybe Luigi found out that you were reading the dream and purposely created an endless dream bridge so that your consciousness can only wander on it?"
The Moon Lady had completely forgotten about Uriel's dream. She focused all her attention on Gulimo's dream.
Mr. Sun shook his head. "I don't know."
The Moon Lady made a few more guesses, but the information they had was still too little. They still had no idea.
In the end, they looked at each other in silence for a few seconds. Then, they turned to Tiredness, who was licking her feet.
"Tiredness, you tell us," they said in unison.
Tiredness put down her feet lazily and swallowed her saliva that still smelled of feet. Then she slowly said, "What do you want me to say?"
The Moon Lady reached out and hugged Tiredness in her arms. "Of course, I want you to analyze why the Sun has been trekking on the dream bridge since he entered the dream."
Originally, Tiredness wanted to struggle, fearing that it would be sandwiched between the sun and the moon. However, when the Lady of the Moon gently scratched its chin, Tiredness gave up its resistance and nestled in the arms of the Lady of the Moon like softened mud under the sun.
"I didn't see it with my own eyes. How can I analyze it? Yes, it's there. Scratch gently … "Tiredness replied while enjoying being scratched.
The Moon Lady said, "Tell us, when you first heard the news, did you have any guesses in your mind?"
The Moon Lady looked at Tiredness with anticipation.
Although Tiredness didn't have a strong prophecy ability, as a kitten favored by the God of Fate, her intuition was surprisingly accurate.
Her first reaction to many things was likely to be the truth.
Sometimes, the experienced prophets, astrologers, and fortune-tellers in the temple would even come to Tiredness to listen to her thoughts.
Therefore, when the Moon Lady and Mr. Sun couldn't see the solution, they looked at Tiredness.
Tiredness wasn't a stupid cat. Once the Moon Lady spoke, she knew what she was thinking.
Although Tiredness felt that her straightforwardness was more of a coincidence, since the Moon Lady asked, she still recalled the thoughts that had appeared in her mind when she first heard Mr. Sun's story.
After a while, Tiredness said, "If you want to talk about my thoughts, there was only one …"
The Moon Lady and Mr. Sun immediately pricked up their ears. "Which one?"
Tiredness said, "Since the dream bridge is so long, this dream should be very far away."
The Moon Lady was stunned. "The dream is very far away, you mean …"
Tiredness said, "The location of the dream. The dream bridge is so long, so the place where Gulimo's dream took place must be very far away. "
The place where the dream mirror took place was very far away?
The Moon Lady and Mr. Sun looked at each other. They could tell that the other was thinking about what Tiredness said.
A few seconds later, the Moon Lady spoke first. "Could it be that Gulimo's dream this time was located in the depths of the Dream World?"
Generally speaking, the dreams of ordinary people weren't in the Dream World.
They were in the periphery of the dream.
It could be understood that the dreams of living beings were countless bubbles that surrounded the Dream World. Because they were close to the Dream World, these bubbles had some "dream" characteristics. However, because they didn't have any intersection with the Dream World, they were fundamentally different from the Dream World.
Now, Tiredness's intuition told them that the "place where the dream took place" was very far away. Did this mean that Gulimo's dream was no longer a bubble but deep within the Dream World?
Mr. Sun didn't know the answer and could only turn to look at Tiredness again.
Tiredness said unhappily, "I'm not familiar with the Dream World. Anyway, I don't think Gulimo's dream mirror is in the depths of the Dream World."
Mr. Sun seemed to have understood something. "You mean … the abnormal dream is very far away from Gulimo, so Gulimo's dream bridge is so long?"
In other words, the core of the abnormal dream, "Luigi", might not be in Dawn City but somewhere even further away.
It might even be so far away that even the dream bridge had to be laid out endlessly …
According to this situation, Luigi's main body shouldn't be in the Western Continent, right?
If that was the case, their strategy of finding Luigi by finding the location of his main body would probably not work.
