Falsifying history is good business

One disadvantage of a rocking chair is that you may not be able to fall down when you want to, and the biggest disadvantage of the dream environment created by Minerva as a god is that the details are too clear and real. So when she wanted to fall back, Lin You stretched out one foot and stepped on the chair leg, leaving the little girl hanging in the air, unable to reach up or down.

"I've seen a movie about dreams, and it said that when a person's body suddenly falls while sleeping, they will wake up from their dream. Can you also wake up from falling in your dream?"

Lin You bent down and looked down at Minerva, who covered her eyes with her hands, and his gaze met hers through her fingers. The condescending feeling was full of pressure, like a cat facing a little mouse at its mouth.

Minerva put her hand down in an instant, and looked around timidly. She saw Rose hiding behind Lin You and peeking out, and immediately complained with grievance: "Rose, you betrayed me!"

"I'm not, I didn't..." Rose scurried back out the door, her denial completely weak; she really couldn't defend herself, she could only say in her heart, "Your brother gave too much."

"Don't act crazy or stupid, explain to me what's going on." Lin You pointed at the "self" who was writing furiously at the desk, oblivious to what was happening around him, and with his other hand pressed the little girl's head to make her face him. "What does 'double the homework' mean? What does 'deepen memory' mean?"

Minerva didn't dare to look back, she just blinked her big eyes and continued to play dumb: "What about that? What are you talking about, brother?"

Following her innocent voice, the "Lin You" in front of the desk shattered like a dream bubble, leaving only homework papers all over the table and the floor.

Then, the whole room and even the whole villa began to vibrate and shake; the floor tilted, and Rose was the first one to lose her footing. She cried out "ouch" and sat down on the ground.

A super hurricane blew up in the room out of nowhere, and all the furnishings, including books, flew in the air; the chandelier on the ceiling made a sharp explosion, and the originally bright light shattered and turned into countless tiny points of light.

The next moment, the ceiling completely disintegrated, revealing the blue sky above; followed by the disintegration of the surrounding walls and floors, the broken building debris, the messy furnishings in the room, and even more than eighty pieces of gleaming holy garments were all swept up into the sky by a powerful suction force and disappeared.

Everything in the dream was disappearing rapidly, including the rocking chair and Minerva sitting on it.

Lin You stretched out his hand habitually, trying to grab the little girl by the back of her neck, but his hand went straight through her body and reached nothing.

When the figure of the dream master also disappeared from the dream, everything around him turned into chaos; Lin You stumbled, and when he stood firm again, he had returned to the manor in his dream.

Looking back, I saw Rose smiling awkwardly, waving at Lin You, and running two steps out of the village gate, and then she disappeared.

Lin You was furious. If you can run away from the monk, how can you run away from the temple? He immediately exited the dream and went to the little girl's bedroom to catch her. However, he looked at the dark night sky outside the window and decided to wait until daybreak.

Unexpectedly, he did not take any action, but Minerva was full of action. After being "scared" awake from the dream, she turned over, got out of bed, dressed, looked around, and found that she had nothing to bring. She just grabbed the sleepy Phoenix on the bird shelf, ran downstairs out of the room; as soon as she got down the stairs, she saw the door of the guest room opened, and it turned out that Rose heard the footsteps in the corridor upstairs and walked out.

The two good friends who had met in dreams but never met in reality looked at each other in bewilderment. Minerva was the first to react, jumping up and down and accusing him, "You, you, you betrayed me!"

Rose hung her head, not daring to face the accusations, and quietly defended herself: "I didn't want to, but I was caught and brought to your house."

You can't run away. The price your brother offers is very high. It's been many years since you've come across such a good deal. If you don't sell it, it would be unjust for you. My brother will blame me when he finds out about it.

"Wouldn't you tell me in your dream?" Minerva felt aggrieved and wanted to cry but had no tears.

Rose knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't dare to say anything more. She just comforted him, "You were just playing a prank, and it was in a dream. Your brother won't blame you."

"No, you don't know him at all. He is a tyrant, a devil, a stingy person..." Minerva said firmly, "I can't just sit there and wait for death. I must run away from home."

"Running away from home?" Rose's eyes widened; such a small matter was worth running away from home, wasn't it a bit too much? She looked him up and down, and asked suspiciously: "You are running away from home like this? Going out empty-handed in the middle of the night, where can you go with only a bird?"

"Go to Gough Island. I know there is a Diagon Alley where we can temporarily open the Floo Network and go through the fireplace there. The fireplace at home is not working and my brother will find it." Minerva felt that she had a good understanding of the wizarding world over the years, and the escape plan she made was rigorous and thorough. "Also, this is not an ordinary bird, it's a phoenix!" Rose was overwhelmed by what she heard. "What is the Floo Network? What does it have to do with the fireplace? And...what is this bird?"

"Phoenix!" Minerva raised the bird, which was obviously still asleep, in her hand as if offering a treasure. "It is the most powerful bird of prey in the world. With it, it can help me hunt. I won't be afraid of starving even in the wild."

After all, they are children at heart. When they have treasures in their hands, they always have to share and show off with their friends, and they even forget for a moment the urgency of running away from home.

The phoenix, who was still confused at first, got angry when he heard the word "hunting"! What do you think of me? I am a phoenix, the most noble bird in the world; you two brothers and sisters have imprisoned my ability to transform, not only raising me as a pet, but now you want me to do the work of a falcon?

The Phoenix was so angry that it was about to protest on the spot, but as soon as it opened its sharp beak, Minerva grabbed it and it couldn't make any sound.

"Don't shout, don't shout. If you wake up my brother, I will pluck out all your hair. Do you believe it?" A clear and pleasant voice issued a "fierce" threat.

Rose couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She just thought of the phoenix as a pet that the little girl loved, and she even took it with her when she "ran away from home". She asked, "This is... a phoenix, right? What's its name?"

"It's called Phoenix. Well, it actually means 'Phoenix', so it can be regarded as having no name. Let me tell you, it is one of the seventy-two demons, the one in the legend of Solomon... Rose, what's wrong with you?"

Minerva was speaking when she suddenly screamed in panic because she saw her good friend suddenly show a look of extreme pain without any warning, and the next moment she was rolling on the ground with her head in her hands, screaming miserably.

Black smoke gushed out of Rose's seven orifices. Under the black mist, her eyes first shone with two holy rays of light, and then turned scarlet in a very short time. When the black smoke and the strange light in her eyes disappeared, Rose stopped wailing and struggling, and her body slowly floated up into the air.

At this time, her eyes were empty and there was no trace of life in them.

"Stand back, Minerva." Lin You's timely voice gave the little girl great psychological support and comfort.

"Brother, what happened to Rose?" Minerva was filled with the breath of the microcosm, burning away all the black smoke residue near her body.

Flame and black smoke, light and darkness, although the two forces are small in number, the momentum of their collision is not small; the two extreme forces vibrate countless energy waves in the process of colliding and melting each other, spreading to the surroundings until they hit the invisible dimensional space barrier.

Lin You was observing Rose, and Rose's empty eyes were also looking at him.

"Your friend was possessed by a demon from Hell, and the power of the demon is very advanced. The demon is very experienced and well hidden, so Morpheus and I couldn't find it."

"Can you help her?" Minerva asked eagerly.

"I'll try my best. But I need to know what she was doing before the accident. What caused the power that possessed her?"

"I don't know." Minerva tried to recall. "I was talking to her at the time. Everything was fine at first, until... until we talked about Phoenix. Oh, it was when I introduced the identity of Phoenix and said it was one of the seventy-two demons that Rose got into trouble."

Lin You was moved when he heard this, and grabbed the Phoenix in his hand, while urging Minerva: "Go back to sleep, I will take care of things here."

As soon as he finished speaking, another portal appeared in the dimensional space, covering him and Rose, and they disappeared; while Minerva was "pushed" out of the space.

The villa was still quiet, and no one else was awakened by Rose's wailing. (End of this chapter)
