Siren Blade

Chapter 117 Dilemma
Both law enforcement warlocks showed solemn eyes ready to sacrifice their minds. Lie Que nodded and turned to signal the medical examiner to start.The medical examiner took out two talismans from his pocket and handed them to the two, then said, "Just press it on the sleeping person."

The two pressed the sigil on my father's body.The medical examiner walked behind the two of them and held down their backs.In just a few seconds, the two of them were limp and lying on the edge of the hospital bed, as if they had completely fallen asleep—the collective dream of the sleepers.

However, the medical examiner frowned and examined the two of them a little.I realized that the situation seemed to be unexpected, and Lie Que immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

"They . . . " said the medical examiner, disappointed. "They were just asleep."

I heard what he meant, "Just fell asleep, but didn't dream? Didn't succeed in entering the collective dream?"

"No!" The medical examiner became irritable, walked back and forth again, and finally showed an extremely frustrated look on his face, "I knew it couldn't be that simple, even if I mastered the method... In other words, it's a fanatic Ah! With the technical level of our Liucheng Security Bureau, how could it be possible to break into the dream created by the fanatics?"

The fanatic's reputation in the hidden world seems to be more popular than I thought.

"Cheer me up!" Lie Que scolded, but did not immediately ask if there is any other way, but looked at the two law enforcement warlocks lying beside the bed, "Are they all right? The hacking failed, are their spirits up?" wounded?"

The medical examiner said as if his strength was taken away: "They are fine, they were just rejected by the dream, and they will wake up soon."

Qiao Gancao asked next to him, "If you can't send two people into the collective dream at the same time, can you send only one?"

"Not even one person." The medical examiner said, "In other words, I originally planned to send only one person in, while the other person was 'pulled' in by the person who went in first."

"Pull..." I repeated.

"Yes. If it is to enter the physical door, then two people can hold each other's hands. But this time to enter the spiritual door, what is needed is a relationship of trust between each other." The medical examiner explained, "When you are in crisis, if you hope that someone will appear by your side to save yourself, or fight side by side with yourself, then this person can become the object you are drawn into your dream."

"And the problem now is, can't even get in who should be in first?" I asked.

"Yes, the collective dream leaves too little room for us to enter." The medical examiner said in a low mood, "To meet the entry requirements, the person responsible for entering first must have a certain degree of dream power. According to the I have figured out some things through my attempts, and now it is impossible for these two people to enter. If someone wants to enter the collective dream, either they are born very suitable for entering the dream, or they have extremely powerful dream power, so strong that Even the main force can influence and interfere. But where can I find such a person..."

Having said that, his face suddenly froze, and his eyes moved extremely stiffly and slowly in a certain direction.I also suddenly realized a certain possibility, and everyone else reacted and looked at someone present.

The only person present who didn't move was Joan, because he was the one being watched.

Joan hasn't said a word since just now, like a transparent person.His position and age are not suitable for speaking on this occasion. Although he is by my side, he is actually an outsider.However, at this moment, he has become the most eye-catching focus here.

Naturally suitable for entering dreams, powerful dream power.

According to the medical examiner, to enter the collective dream, you only need one of the two, and Joan has both.

The current Joan is a succubus, and a succubus is a demon who is good at entering men's dreams to absorb energy; and Hui Hui who merged with him was a woman who almost used the power of dreams to trap me in a charming dream, even if Joan herself He can't use it consciously, but he does indeed possess the extremely powerful dream power that "even the main force can influence and interfere"!
But to let Joan venture into the collective dream?After all, Joan wasn't even a member of the Security Bureau, not only a civilian who had nothing to do with the work of the Security Bureau, but also a child.However, it seems that the only way to go is to persuade him to take the risk.This kind of situation reminds me of the animation I watched a long time ago, where children are responsible for the battle of saving the world. I never expected that this kind of "plot" would be staged in reality, and a sense of magic and fantasy arose in my heart. The sense of astonishment combined with reality.

"Wait! Are you going to let Qiao An enter that dream?" Qiao Gancao couldn't keep silent. Although she was speaking to the medical examiner, her gaze quickly shifted to Lie Que's face.Because Lie Que is the one who is really responsible for making decisions.

Lie Que slowly closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened them and looked at Joan.

"Joe Licorice's younger brother... Qiao An?" At this moment, his face looked strange.

Perhaps, this is not the first time he has shown this face.A similar color flashed across his face the moment I said that I wanted to get in touch with demonic knowledge in order to break through the "door control" of the previous night.

And when he realized that Bai Ju had fallen in the process of studying monsters in the past, and when he saw his son brainwashed by the devil in the past, he might have made the final decision with a similar expression.

He continued: "Would you like to take part in this adventure to save people?"

"Teacher..." Blue Bird sighed.

Before Qiao An could speak, Qiao Gancao made a decision for her younger brother, "Of course not!"

"That... I don't know exactly what happened..." Joan said in a low voice.

"Let me explain to you." Qiao Gancao led him to a corner to talk, but Lie Que didn't stop him, just watched the scene silently.

After a while, Qiao Licao led Qiao An back.She gestured to Joan with her eyes, but Joan couldn't help but say, "Sister, I think it's still..."

"Don't talk yet." Qiao Licao sighed and tapped on the top of his younger brother's head, then touched Lie Que, "Joan is not a warlock of the Security Bureau. He has neither the obligation to fight nor the strength to fight. .And he is still young, such a dangerous thing can't bypass his parents, otherwise it doesn't make sense."

"Of course, as long as he agrees, I will try to persuade his parents, explain to them the interests, and the benefits to their family, especially to Joan himself." Lie Que seemed to have made a plan in his heart. multiple plans.

Even in the face of Lie Que, Qiao Gancao is not to be outdone, "The order is reversed! It should be his parents' consent first, and then go to persuade Qiao An!"

"Of course I'm going to do that." Lie Que said without changing his face, "You should also be very clear about how many lives we are carrying in the battle."

"That shouldn't be at the expense of the child," Joe Licorice said.

"No one said that he would die in this operation." Lie Que said.

"But you have already made that expectation?" Joe Licorice asked back.

"As mentioned before, the dream itself will not bring life-threatening danger. If there is any other damage, we will do everything possible to remedy it." Lie Que said, "At the same time, there will be enough people around him. Reliable fighters escort."

He looked at Joan, "Are you willing to trust Li Duo?"

Joan turned to look at me and nodded without hesitation.
-
Under Qiao Licorice's argument, Lie Que called the warlocks of the analysis department to hold a meeting with a limited time of two hours, trying to see if they could find a breakthrough direction other than allowing Qiao An to take risks during this time.

The medical examiner stayed in the nursing room and continued to analyze the flaws of the collective dream, while the previous two law enforcement warlocks woke up, left the dream symbol and the talisman against blood spells in the nursing room, and then returned to their own I went to the post.

"Crazy believers can't wait for us to attack." Before we left, the medical examiner said anxiously, "He won't stay still like a tree stump. We must hurry up."

Qiao Licorice also joined the meeting, and Jade Bird and I were also eligible to attend.Especially me, in Lie Que's plan, I will enter the collective dream with Joan.

Those analyzes and debates are full of all kinds of technical terms and data, and I can't understand them at all. The only thing I can understand is "still have no clue in other directions."It even seems that because there is already a ready-made method, some magicians in charge of analysis are trying to persuade Joe Licorice.

As for me, to be honest, I don't want to force Joan into a dangerous situation in order to save my father and others.If you ask me if I want to be saved, I naturally want to be saved, that's why I worked so hard before.Even if I had to risk my life to save it, I would not hesitate.However, that is two different things from forcing Joan to take risks.Maybe it's because my feelings for my father are too contradictory. If the blue bird is lying on the white bed, I will probably become straightforward and resort to unscrupulous methods.

I must admit the fact that if it comes to the end of the road and the problem can be solved simply by ordering the child to risk it, then it should be ordered ruthlessly.I think this is correct.It is clear at a glance which is more important, with the lives of thousands or more people on the one hand, and the safety of a child on the other.

But on the other hand, since we have not reached the end of the road, it is not the children's turn to take risks, and adults should not show weakness in front of children so early.

What did Lie Que think?He must want everything I want, but when he shows that face, I feel that he seems to be used to weighing things on both sides of the scale.Maybe his life experience has given him a lot of wisdom, so that my previous thoughts seem naive and idealistic; maybe it is the most correct to let Joan take risks now, and it will be too late when the end of the road is really too late; Maybe the fanatics changed their minds temporarily and felt that it would be good to sacrifice thousands of people first, so they would kill all the thousands of people now... However, so many endless "maybe" will only disturb my life. Think normally.It's better to reset your own thinking first, and grasp the thoughts you can be sure of down-to-earth.

First of all, I am not the decision-maker of the Security Bureau. The concept of being a human being mentioned earlier can only be used to convince myself, not others.

If I really want to deny Lie Que's plan, what I want to talk about should not be a pragmatic concept of life, but should come up with a better plan pragmatically.

But unfortunately, I don't have the professional quality to come up with a better plan, so as an executor, I should honestly shut up and listen to the existing plan seriously.

Problems cannot always be expected to have satisfactory solutions.

Although Qiao Gancao likes to tell me jokes so much, she is actually a warlock of the Security Bureau with a firm mind. I have seen her enlightened eyes in chasing warlock criminals and going deep into dangerous situations.At the last moment, she may also succumb to the cold reality, and in turn do ideological work for Joan with blood dripping from her heart.

However, I don't want Joe Licorice to do such a painful thing, so it's up to me to do it when the time comes.Even if Qiao An felt that I was a sanctimonious adult who shamelessly attacked children, I would admit it.

In the second half of the meeting, there was still no progress.I leave the table temporarily and go to the lounge to see how Joan is doing.

Originally, Joan should have the qualification to be an observer, but he can easily interfere with the judgment of other participants just by being present, so he can only stay here.Although his charm power has been suppressed by the talisman, this suppression has limited effect on some warlocks with high awareness.

High awareness is not always a good thing. Even if Joan uses a talisman to suppress the power of charm, some warlocks with high awareness can easily receive "charming waves" from Joan's body inexplicably, and may even be charmed by it.

Charm is very different from other kinds of mental manipulation. The latter is often an unpleasant experience, so as long as the person involved is aware of it, he will come out by himself; If you are charmed, you will also be willing to fall into it and be intoxicated, and you will not want to return to the situation of freedom.

Joan was sitting on the sofa, looking down at the disc prop in his hand, his wings and tail were shaking unconsciously, thinking about something.I walked slowly behind him, wanting to pat him on the shoulder, but his fluttering tail swept over inadvertently, and the end of the teardrop-shaped tail lightly patted my palm.

Before I could react, he yelled in panic, and the disc prop was dropped from his hand, and almost fell to the ground, and he caught it in the air several times after tossing and turning.

He held the disc prop in his arms cherishingly, and looked back nervously.Seeing it was me, he completely relaxed.

"Is the meeting over?" he asked curiously.

"Not yet." I observed his expression attentively, and then asked, "Don't you seem to be very resistant to taking risks?"
