Chapter 416: Awakening
Conquer the northern shore of the sea, Navaha.
In Navaha late at night, the pseudo-dream pupa that had been dormant and growing slowly in the underground space of the city was now growing rapidly under the catalytic ritual underground in the city. The dream cocoon that had not yet been completely absorbed was forced into the pupa. At the moment when the pupa was finally ripened, the giant pupa finally cracked, and then an extremely powerful hypnotic force spread to the entire Navaha with the giant pupa as the center. All the creatures that were still awake in the city were forced to fall asleep because of this power, including Dorothy who was conducting reconnaissance.
After observing the strange situations of the Moth followers and the sleep patients in the mental hospital, Dorothy became alert. Therefore, when the strong sleepiness came, Dorothy, who was prepared, had a short time to fight against it. She knew very well that she must not fall into the hazy dream like this. In the hazy dream, she would only be the manipulation of the Black Dream Hunters. At present, there is only one way for her to resist the sleep in this short time.
“Mmm…Mmm…Mmm!!”
In the hotel room, the girl was sitting on a wooden chair with her arms across her chest, trembling all over. She couldn't help but scream in the tingling pain, her eyes widened and her eyeballs rolled up, revealing large areas of white.
Dorothy had never imagined that one day she would experience the feeling of being electrocuted. Although she controlled the voltage and current, the feeling of being electrocuted was still not pleasant. This electric shock was definitely the most serious injury she had ever suffered since she traveled through time.
After the electric shock was given to her whole body, Dorothy slumped in her chair, her mouth wide open and staring blankly ahead. Her legs and drooping hands on the floor twitched from time to time. Although she looked a little embarrassed at this moment, fortunately she was not asleep at this moment. The intense feeling brought by the electric shock allowed her to temporarily survive the powerful hypnotic power and not fall into a hazy dream where she knew nothing.
“Hu…Hu…Hu…I didn’t expect that not long after I acquired the power of lightning magic, I would experience the pain of being electrocuted.”
Panting, Dorothy sat up straight in her chair. Now she knew very well that it was not time to rest yet. She must take advantage of this brief moment of clarity to do more important things.
"Now... taking advantage of the time gained by the electric shock... we must complete the preparations..."
Dorothy sat down on the chair, then she closed her eyes silently and began to give herself suggestions in her mind, preparing for a lucid dream.
And just a few minutes after Dorothy closed her eyes, a new round of powerful hypnotic waves came from the underground in the distance, and quickly reached Dorothy. Dorothy's mind, which had just been stimulated to wake up, felt a strong sleepiness again.
This time, Dorothy did not use electric shock to keep herself awake, but let the hypnosis pass. Just like that, Dorothy fell into a deep sleep while sitting on a chair in the hotel. However, this time, the deep sleep was not a deep and dead sleep.
After Dorothy fell asleep thoroughly, her consciousness quickly condensed in her dream. Soon, Dorothy's dream entity condensed in her own dream space. At this time, what appeared in front of Dorothy was the scene in her study at No. 17 Green Shade Town.
Using the lucid dreaming method, Dorothy successfully fell asleep while maintaining a clear consciousness. If she had not prepared for lucid dreaming, she would have fallen into a hazy dream without any consciousness and knowing nothing if she went to bed directly. In the lucid dreaming state, she could think normally in her dream to deal with the current situation.
"Finally, I have time to think about it. Suddenly, this extraordinary impact covering the entire city appeared, and there was more than one wave. What happened? Is there any problem with Heimeng and the pseudo-moths they cultivated?"
In the dream space, Dorothy sat on a chair in her room and murmured. She didn't expect that just when she was about to investigate the Black Dream Hunters, this situation suddenly occurred.
Because Dorothy had seen many awake people suddenly fall asleep in her previous surveillance of the city, she understood that the sleepiness that affected her was not just for herself, but a large-scale hypnotic influence on the entire city. The source of this influence could have surpassed the limit of ordinary Cretaceous Extraordinary people, and according to the information from the little fox, the only ones in the entire Navaha that could do this were the pseudo-moths cultivated by the Black Dream Hunters.
According to the little fox, the egg stage of the pseudo moth is equivalent to an apprentice, the worm stage is equivalent to black soil, the pupa stage is equivalent to chalk, and the adult stage is equivalent to red adult. This hypnotic fluctuation that affects the entire town can obviously only be achieved by an extraordinary ability close to the red adult level.
"A Beyonder ability of the level of Red Maturation... Could it be that the pupae of those guys have already emerged as pseudo-moths? It can't be that I was just about to target them and then they emerged? This feels a bit unreasonable... Could it be that I was so unlucky that I arrived in Navaha not long before these guys finished their emergence? "
In the dream space, Dorothy covered her forehead, thinking in her heart a little depressed, if the current situation is really that the pseudo-moth has emerged as an adult, then the situation will be really serious.
"In short, I am in a dream now and I don't know anything. I need to continue to obtain information from the real world. Let's try to wake up first."
Dorothy thought so. Although her mind was awake in the dream, her body was still in a coma in reality, unable to move and vulnerable to attack. This was extremely dangerous. Therefore, getting her body moving again was her first priority.
Then, Dorothy immediately began to try her best to wake herself up, but no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't wake up. Faced with this situation, Dorothy couldn't help but frown.
"Is this... a deep sleep? Of course, the sleep produced by being affected by this ability is a deep sleep that cannot be awakened by itself. In this case, we have to find another way."
Dorothy thought like this in her dream. Fortunately, after Vanya was deeply hypnotized without knowing it last time, Dorothy had thought about what to do if she encountered such a situation in the future. She came up with some solutions and made some relevant preparations.
In the dream space, Dorothy, sitting on a chair, concentrated her mind and began to call upon her extraordinary abilities. Yes, Dorothy can use her abilities in a lucid dream! As long as her consciousness remains clear, she can use her abilities.
Dorothy did not choose to use the thunder wizard's ability to wake herself up. She was not sure if she could be awakened by just relying on non-lethal electric shocks after she had fallen into a deep sleep. Even if she could be awakened, she would be oversleeping when the next wave of power came. She couldn't be shocked again. Dorothy suspected that she would not be able to survive a few rounds of this kind of repeated electric shocks.
So Dorothy did not use the ability of the thunder summoner, but that of the spirit wizard. Dorothy used the ability of the living puppet to link the puppet mark on her body and manipulated herself as a living puppet. After Vanya was put into a dream, Dorothy also drew a puppet mark on herself in case of emergency.
Just like that, under Dorothy's operation, the body that had been asleep in reality slowly opened its eyes again, and a screen appeared in front of Dorothy's spirit body in the dream space, and in front of the screen was the scene that her physical body saw at this moment.
With the help of the puppet mark, Dorothy successfully controlled her body which was in deep sleep in her waking dream. Now Dorothy can see the scenes in reality even in her dreams!
Moreover, since Dorothy is still in a sleeping state in essence and has not woken up, she is just a living puppet in reality. Therefore, Dorothy in this state is not afraid of being hypnotized again. No matter how many powerful hypnotic waves come, Dorothy in reality will not stop moving. This is because at this time, she is essentially a sleeping person and is already in a dream, so no amount of hypnosis will be useful.
Relying on lucid dream puppet control, Dorothy was directly immune to hypnosis.
"Heh... I feel like I'm in the cockpit of some giant mecha... "
In the dream space, Dorothy's spirit body looked at the screen in front of her that reflected the outside world and couldn't help but complain. Then she looked around the study and snapped her fingers. Then the scene around her began to change with her vague mind, and finally it really turned into a rather sci-fi cockpit. She was sitting in the seat in the cockpit, and she was just about to shout Dorothy to go out.
