Chapter 491 Fire and Murderers
There are many hands and feet hidden in the raging fire in the living room Turned back, a scorched corpse like a spider.

Doctor's Mystic Art [Shield of Heart Light] developed by the core spirit rune of [Spirit Light], which cooperates with Shade's Moonlight Greatsword. The two walked side by side, always beware of the monster who suddenly jumped out of the fire sea. Their strength is really not strong, almost as long as they are touched by the moonlight sword, they will immediately turn into fly ash.

"Detective, have you noticed? The barely identifiable appearance of the corpses, as well as the clothes on fire, have nothing common with each other, and they are not random pieces. This shows that these corpses are very likely They were all seen by the dream master in the real fire."

The doctor reminded and asked Shade:
"Do you remember how many monsters we have encountered so far?"

At this time, the two of them have come to the stairs on the first floor. Shade right hand holds the sword and recalls in the fire sea:

“17.”

“ It seems that there was a real problem with the fire three years ago."

This kind of body with folded arms and legs only exists on the first floor. And after ascending the stairs where the whole is on fire, a new dream monster appears.

Every time you step on the stairs, there is a possibility that a transparent bandaged hand will suddenly stick out from the wall on one side of the stairs, trying to push them downstairs. But the strength of these hands is not strong, and they can easily be cut off by the moonlight slash.

"The appearance of such a monster means that the dream master saw someone being pushed down the stairs during the fire. Judging from the appearance of a monster with only one pair of hands, rather than a specific image, it is very likely , those hands belong to Luther Kingwith."

The doctor then analyzed that he had broken into the dreams of many people, and could very skillfully use the abnormalities in the dreams to infer the owner of the dream. idea.

"So, was Luther Kingwith really a fire killer and a murderer?"

Shade curiously asked.

"Detective, if you're really curious, we can ask him later."

The passage from the stairs to the second-floor hallway is blocked by a collapsed stone slab, but Shade and There was no need for the doctor to enter there, so he continued to climb the stairs to the third floor.

But on the landing on the second floor, there is a new blocker.

This time the monster is a humanoid creature, without a head, wrapped in a black coat, with eight hands on both sides of the body, holding a knife, a pistol, a glass bottle with powder, Handkerchiefs, ropes, metal sweater needles, and the last two hands are empty, but there is red dripping from the hands, much like blood.

"A typical murderer without a head means that the owner of the dream is unwilling to let the murderer's face appear here."

The doctor continued to analyze while standing on the burning stairs :
"If the murderer is not the master of the dream, fear will not lead to forgetting, but will lead to a more bizarre shape. Of course, what happened before that fire, it is not enough to infer, I think it is really necessary for a while Go ask."

Shade nodded, fading, noticing that although the flames were more ferocious at higher levels, the higher the upwards, the brighter the surrounding light. The roaring flames were swirling around, but the rays of light of the flames were getting dimmer.

"I'll deal with it."

Shade said, stepping forward over the doctor who was standing sideways on the stairs.

The right hand swung forward, the curved blade of light flew upward, and the headless black clothed monster swung the knife in his hand. At the same time as Shade's moonlight was shattered, one of its hands Also completely broken.

"Still not strong."

Shade thought to himself, right hand pulled out the Moonlight Greatsword, and then jumped up sharply. The whole person disappeared out of thin air, and then appeared above the black clothed monster.

He jumped down with the sword in one hand, thinking that he could smash the monster with one sword, didn't expect the headless monster to move up with the handkerchief in one hand:
Boom!
“en?”

The liquid of black quickly covered the handkerchief, and the handkerchief actually grew bigger and stiffer, blocking Shade's sword like a shield. The silvery moon's shavings were scattered, and the surface of Black's handkerchief was cracked, but it quickly returned to normal.

"After all, it is a monster related to the dream master, so some special abilities are normal."

The doctor's voice came from behind, Shade nodding, holding the sword with his right hand. Holding the opponent's handkerchief, after both feet landed on the ground, he stepped forward with his right foot, twisted his waist and kicked his left leg forward, kicking the handkerchief shield away. The right hand swung the sword again, and as the arc of the moonlight fell, sloping silver lines appeared on the monster's body, and then scattered into black ashes, which fused together with the black silk in the air.

“en?”

Shade frowned again in the fire sea.

"What's wrong?"

The doctor also caught up, and both of them saw the handkerchief shield that was dyed dark with black fluid, and it didn't disappear immediately.

Those thick fluids gradually withdraw from the handkerchief, and the handkerchief turns black and gray in the fire sea. The fluid itself did not disappear, but slowly penetrated into the floor.

"What?"

The strong sense of familiarity made Shade take two quick steps:

"Silver Moon!"

He Extend the hand means, the fingertips rays of light illuminate those black things, let them be evaporated in the rays of light.

"Doctor, is this also something that appears in a dream?"

After doing this, Shade turned his head and looked towards his companion, and asked very uncertainly, he Suspected that he just encountered the same kind of thing, which is not actually what he thought.

The blue-eyed doctor pursed his lips, raised his head and said:
"It's just a materialized substance of negative emotions, I see it often, don't worry about it."

But tight Then he said:
"But it seems that there may be some danger up there. I'll walk ahead on the next road."

Shade looked at the fire floor, and looked suspiciously at Dr. Schneider's back, frowning deeply:
"The materialization of negative emotions?"

Looking up looked towards the top of the head:

"Is it an illusion? No, it's better to be cautious and be prepared."

Thinking in my heart, I quickly followed up with Dr. Schneider . But before confirming his conjecture, Shade is not going to tell the doctor about Ivan Darkness.

He wants to avoid Dr. Schneider's meeting with the devil as much as possible.

The light in the stairwell on the third floor is dimmer, but the flames are also more ferocious. These two opposite scene performances make the strange feeling on the third floor even more serious.

A new monster appeared on the stairs connecting the second floor to the third floor. This time is no longer the hand that pushes people down, but the wads of flying gold pounds with wings.

These monsters are darker in color than real banknotes, and the attack method is to fire the burning banknotes, and those sharp banknotes can even be deeply embedded in the burning wall.

The Doctor takes the lead, blocking the attack with the transparent shield summoned by Mystic Art. Shade is behind him, countering the attacks of the sensitive creatures with Moonlight Slash.

"Detective, the common sense is that the closer you are to the dream master, the more the image of the monster guarding the dream fits the dream master's thoughts. So, the truth of this fire is probably because of this money."

The doctor still has time to explain the current phenomenon to Shade before moving forward, presumably in his opinion this nightmare exploration is not the most dangerous.

But the blazing dim flame has made the skin feel a little scalded and painful. Although the flying banknotes are easy to deal with, after these monsters die, they will be like the headless and eight-armed monsters just now. There are traces of what appears to be the pus of the evil Fiend.

Shade maintained the moonlight, but he couldn't stop the traces as they fell to the lower floors through cracks in the stairs and cracks in the walls in the fire. It's just that the amount of black pus is extremely low, and it seems that it is deliberately avoiding the two, and it does not try to contaminate them, so it does not cause trouble for the time being:

"The appearance is so similar, but it is not offensive. Sex, is it really a coincidence?"

When they defeated the last wave of gold pound monsters that flew out of the flames and reached the third floor, the untouchable black silk in the air was already As dense as the sprinkling of snowflakes. At the same time, the rays of light of the flames are also completely weaker than the rays of light of the silver moon on Shade's fingertips, which means that if the moonlight on the fingertips is not maintained, the visibility on the third floor is much lower than normal.

Shade and Dr. Schneider were already prepared to encounter more powerful enemies on the third floor, but only after arriving on the third floor did they find that there was no one guarding the dream except for the fire downstairs. monster.

But the integrity of the third floor was the worst of all floors, with fallen furniture, cracked floors and crumbling ceilings blocking the corridors and making it almost impossible for them to move forward.

Shade could only use the moonlight sword to slash in front of him to clear the way. Under the doctor's command, the two came to the door of the second room on the left hand side of the third floor. In the entire third floor that was on fire, only the door of this room was not completely blocked by the collapsed ceiling.

"Accounting Room?"

Half of the house number was burnt, but still able to guess the complete word. The burning door was closed, and the black component of the flame almost completely overwhelmed the bright yellow.

"Detective, the target is inside. We need to find the image of Luther King with the dream, and after catching him and holding the ceremony, we can extract the crystal of the soul."

said the doctor, his voice a little low in the crackling sound of burning. Reaching out to hold the doorknob, the door was locked as expected, but the doctor did not let Shade step forward to open the door this time, but said softly into the door:

"We brought more of gold pounds."

A click, which was almost lost in the fire, meant that the door was opened from the inside.

"You see, this is the correct way to get through the locked door in the dream."

The doctor turned and looked towards Shade, signalling him to be ready, then pushed open the door Walking in, Shade followed.

When both of them entered the room completely, there was a loud bang behind them.

Shade and the doctor turned around immediately and saw that the ceiling of the doorway had collapsed in the flames, and the road outside the door was completely blocked with the rising dust and the heat wave. .
