Chapter 300: Replacement
"Drawing a mark?"
In the dark dream space, Gregor, who was in the form of a black dog, looked at the sentences and the inverted pentagram symbol that appeared in front of him, and couldn't help but frowned, then spoke.
'Will this mark be able to release me from my deep slumber?'
Gregor thought so in his heart. He would never mind drawing unfamiliar occult marks on his body under normal circumstances. James had clearly explained this to Gregor when he joined the team. Don't read unfamiliar occult books or draw unfamiliar occult marks, because God knows what will happen. But facing the current situation, he can only draw. There is no other way. After all, the little fox's sleepwalking cannot be maintained for a long time.
'This mysterious Akka follower was introduced by the great dragon Pathurnax. Lord Pathurnax, a being of such high status, should not be hostile to a mere apprentice hunter like me, so this mark should be safe.
“But it looks a little complicated… Miss Fox, you have trouble even controlling me to walk in my sleep, so drawing a mark like this is no problem, right?”
Gregor thought so, and the little white fox beside him spoke after looking at the words and patterns in front of him.
"Is it enough to just paint this thing on this black dog? That's fine~"
"Um... Miss Fox, I think this mark is a little complicated. You just made it difficult for me to stand and walk. Drawing this thing..." Looking at the little fox's enthusiastic look, Gregor said with a hint of worry, and the little fox responded by wagging its tail.
"Oh, this is what you don't understand. It's not easy to control a person to walk while sleepwalking. You think walking is simple, but in fact it involves the coordinated actions of the whole body. There are countless muscles involved in regulating the balance, which is actually very difficult.
"I'm just a black-level dream diver. My main ability is to sneak into other people's dreams to gain sensory perception and steal memories. Sleepwalking is just a bonus. It's difficult for me to coordinate my whole body to stand and walk with this ability before I reach the Cretaceous stage. If it's just to draw something, I still have a way. Just watch."
The little fox said so, and then began her operation. Under the sleepwalking control of the little fox, Gregor, who was originally sitting in the car, suddenly raised his hands, and his hands mechanically and stiffly stretched out and slapped the table in front of him, and then after a while of disturbance, he finally grabbed the pen on the table, which Gregor came forward to take notes.
The little fox let Gregor's body receive one hand and hold the pen with all five fingers, then raise the hand, and then stretch out the other hand, open the palm and fix it in front of the sight, and then mechanically start to write and draw on the palm of the left hand with the hand holding the pen.
Then he used his whole hand to hold the pen and draw something. The only muscles on his body that needed to move were the muscles in his arms. Even his fingers didn't need to move. In this way, the little fox skillfully controlled Gregor to sleepwalk and draw with minimal manipulation. Gregor couldn't help but brighten up when he saw this scene.
"So it can be done this way, you are amazing, Miss Fox."
Looking at his own vision from the picture displayed on the screen in front of him, Gregor said clearly that this way he could indeed paint with less movement of other parts of his body.
Finally, the little fox took the pen and successfully drew the mark that emerged from the dream space on the palm of Gregor's left hand. Although the drawing was crooked, it was overall clear and without any mistakes, meeting the requirements.
After the little fox finished drawing the mark, new characters appeared in the space.
"Hello, Miss Fox, Mr. Hunter, I can already feel the Marking Power taking effect. Now, please, Miss Fox, end your sleepwalking state."
Looking at the new sentences that emerged in the space, Gregor, who was in the form of a black dog, and the little fox looked at each other, then the little fox took two steps back and released the sleepwalking control over Gregor in the real world. After the sleepwalking was released, the body sitting on the sofa in the car suddenly collapsed and fell limp on the sofa. When his eyes closed, the screen in the dream cockpit suddenly dimmed.
“Is this… all right?”
In the dream space, Gregor, who was disguised as a black dog, looked at the dark scene in front of him and murmured uneasily. At this moment, he was thinking about the purpose of the mysterious mark drawn on his hand. Could it wake him up directly, or...
When the simulated Gregor was thinking about this, the entire dream space suddenly shook slightly, and then the originally closed vision screen suddenly opened again, and Gregor and the little fox once again saw the scene in the carriage through it. Seeing this scene, Gregor couldn't help but smiled at the little fox and said.
"Ms. Fox, didn't I tell you to stop sleepwalking?"
"I did release it! But he started moving again! I'm not in control of it." The little fox said to Gregor in surprise. Gregor couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing that.
"What……"
Just as Greg and the little fox were surprised, the vision screen in front of them suddenly changed again. The whole screen suddenly rose a lot, and its perspective began to move to other places in the car. Seeing this, the little fox couldn't help but said in surprise.
"You stood up! Hey! Black Dog! You stood up under someone's control!"
Hearing the little fox's words, Gregor was stunned, and then shouted into the void of his dream.
"Sir, are you controlling my body?"
"Yes, this is the effect of that mark. It allows me to control your body in the real world, and the control is much more accurate than sleepwalking. Look... I am now controlling your body to walk in the carriage."
In response to Gregor, new words appeared in the dream space inside the dream cocoon. Looking at these words, the little fox opened his mouth slightly.
"Can you remotely control the mark on someone else's body? And you can control it with such precision... It's amazing... It's almost as good as the meat puppets in the 'Cup' field. However, meat puppets can't control living people, and it's impossible to control them over such a long distance."
The little fox murmured that because she had a grandfather at home, she had a deep understanding of the secret world. After seeing the scene in front of her, she immediately thought of the meat puppet of the 'cup'.
"You were able to make my body move again... That's amazing. Although I didn't wake up immediately, since I can walk, I should be able to protect myself. Your Excellency! Please move my body to a safe place in the back of the car now."
Gregor spoke while looking at the darkness in the dream space, and after a while, the corresponding word appeared in front of Gregor again. The other party seemed to have some different opinions on Gregor's suggestion.
"Mr. Hunter, I think it would be a bad decision to leave now."
"What?" Gregor was stunned by the words in front of him. He didn't understand what the other party meant for a moment, and soon other words appeared quickly in front of him as if explaining something.
"I have learned about your situation from Lord Paarthurnax. Mr. Hunter, if I remember correctly, you must have eaten drugged food in the dining car that serves first-class carriages, which led to your infection, right?"
The word 㫧 appeared in front of Gregor, and Gregor nodded after looking at it.
"Well, I haven't eaten anywhere else except in the dining car, and I haven't been hypnotized face to face by anyone, so the problem must be there."
"Well, I've also been in the first-class carriage of the Prutt train, and I've eaten in a similar special dining car. The food there is all cooked in advance, put together, and then the passengers pick it up according to their preferences. Mr. Hunter, this mode of picking up food cannot be used for targeted poisoning... If you really fell into a coma because of eating something in the dining car, then it is possible that all the food in the dining car at that time was problematic. In order to drug you, perhaps the entire first-class carriage of passengers has fallen into a deep sleep.
"For you... those people in the dark have done such a big thing to target you. Do you think they will put you in the safe second-class carriage at the back so easily?"
A series of words and sentences appeared in front of Gregor. After hearing them, Gregor, who was in the form of a black dog, couldn't help but look serious, and then said seriously.
