Gao Wen was strolling in this awake dream.

He didn't know what the principle of this change was, but he guessed that the reason for this change was mostly related to the unlucky cultist, who was involved in the process of devouring the remaining minds of the other party, and he was exposed to the sporadic knowledge of the eternal sleeper. Those sporadic knowledge were not just memorized materials. As the "knowledge" in the extraordinary field, it itself was a kind of power.

They brought Gawain this ability to move in a waking dream.

While walking, Gao Wen often created something in his hands according to what he wanted in his heart, and discovered the limitations of this "shaping" in the process. Perhaps because he did not gain the power of the true sleeper, the things he created in his dream still have full "imagination" characteristics, and only have a false appearance, but have no real effect.

The drinks he made had no taste, and the phone he created according to his memory could not be turned on.

And those vague items that do not exist in the real world at all are even more difficult to maintain their appearance for a long time.

But it was from this incomplete and useless ability that he constantly understood the nature of the special heresy sect of the Eternal Sleeper and their possible purposes.

Immersed in eternal dreams and trying to seek relief in a false world is probably the pursuit of the Eternal Sleepers. In Gao Wen's opinion, their ability to shape false images in the dream world has reached the level of completely distorting the truth. In fact, if the truth is not known in advance, anyone who enters the Eternal Sleepers' dream will be instantly lost in that false world. For those with weak minds, even if they know the truth in advance, they can easily indulge in all kinds of beautiful things in the imaginary world.

Although the outside world's evaluation of the Eternal Sleeper is "an expert in creating nightmares", after swallowing the cult's remaining mind, Gao Wen vaguely realized that the true pursuit of those believers who weave human hearts is probably a beautiful dream, and creating nightmares is just a means for them to achieve their goals.

Gao Wen walked through the long corridor. In this strange place, his mind was as quiet as water, and his thoughts were particularly quick.

To put it in a sentence from the previous life, most people who are immersed in the virtual world are trying to escape reality. In Gao Wen's view, the Eternal Sleeper is like a kind of group escapist in the virtual world, but which part of the real world they are escaping from?

Is it the social collapse and deterioration of the living environment caused by the demon tide? It is the change in the religious structure and the exclusion of other sects? Or... it is the truth that the gods are dead?

The corridor in front of him reached the end, and a heavy oak door stood in front of him. Gao Wen frowned. He saw a familiar emblem on the oak door, an emblem of the Kant family.

Is it because I have been paying attention to the affairs of the Kant family recently that their family emblems appear in the scene of their dreams? Or... this is really Kant Castle?

Gao Wen frowned and looked around. He confirmed that he had never been to this place. Under normal circumstances, there would be no things beyond his memory or cognition in human dreams. Even if there were bizarre things, it would be mostly distorted in the subconscious of what he saw on weekdays. However, all the scenes in this dream were stable and orderly, and even the patterns on the walls and the brilliance of each magic crystal lamp were flawless. Thinking of the mind of the eternal sleeper he had swallowed, Gao Wen suddenly suspected that this scene might be derived from the memory of the cultist.

That cult ever lived in Kant's Castle?

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Wen reached out and pushed open the oak door in front of him.

Behind the gate is a space that looks like a cellar, wide and deep, shrouded in dim light. As an underground structure in the castle, the scale of this "cellar" has far exceeded the need, so it seems that the banquet hall on the surface is moved to the ground. In such a wide and unusual space, Gao Wen saw upright columns connecting the ground and the stone ceiling above, and the upright columns seemed to have text on the surface.

Gao Wen approached one of the pillars and suddenly saw that there was no text on it, but the deep dents scratched with his fingernails!

The moment he saw these dents, Gao Wen felt that his vision suddenly burst out, and then a large number of water-like ripples appeared in the dim space from all directions. In the ripples, countless shadowy things broke away from the "disguise" of the subconscious layer and appeared in front of Gao Wen.

They were phantoms that looked like humans, with translucent, gray-white shapes, and vague and numb expressions. They stood here layer by layer, with their empty eyes staring at the center of the entire "cellar".

When these figures emerged, Gao Wen was startled, but the latter immediately realized that these shadows did not notice their existence at all, or in other words, these shadows probably had no ability to think at all.

After calming down, he looked in the direction of these shadows, and finally saw that there was a stone platform in the center of this "underground hall", on which was placed a huge and gorgeous coffin.

Gao Wen frowned, walked through the countless figures beside him, and walked towards the huge coffin. But as soon as he was halfway through, he heard an illusory and blurry sound appearing in his ears. The sound seemed to be two people talking, but it was intermittently difficult to distinguish. Gao Wen raised his ears carefully and heard a few clearer sentences:

“…I wish it was just a nightmare, and when I woke up from the nightmare, everything was still good…”

"...What's the difference between dreams and reality..."

"I... don't know what to do, I lost them..."

"The eternal sleeper will help you. Don't be afraid, don't believe the rumors that slander us. We are still committed to saving sentient beings from suffering, just like seven hundred years ago, we kept sentient beings away from nightmares, and today we kept sentient beings away from nightmares...

"You just put it here and provide it with plenty of nutrients, and believe me, everything will be fine.

"Those who have passed will eventually return, not only in dreams, but also in reality..."

The conversation was low and vague, and it was so distorted that Gao Wen could not even judge the man and woman of the person who was talking, but one thing he was almost certain was that one of the people who spoke was the Eternal Sleeper Cult who was swallowed by himself!

After waking up from the dream, Gao Wen immediately called Hetty and Pittman.

"Oncestors, we have asked the mercenary mage," Hetty thought that Gowen called him to ask about the progress of the interrogation of the prisoners, so he said as soon as he met, "They are indeed working for the Kant family, but they do not know what their employer is doing to arrest refugees. Only one thing can be confirmed that they have never seen refugees captured by them appear in Kant's territory as slaves in the future, nor have they seen slave traders take those people from Kant's division. The refugees captured disappear on the land as if evaporated."

Gao Wen frowned: "Sure..."

"Sure enough?" Hetty was stunned, not understanding what Gao Wen meant, "Do you know what?"

"I'm afraid I have to go to Kant to get a trip right away," Gao Wen had made a decision before, and said bluntly at this moment, "The sooner the better."

This time Hetty was really shocked: "Go to Kant? What are you doing there? Do you have to go to Viscount Kant personally to ask about the refugees? Such things..."

"More serious than that," said Gao Wen, "I was exposed to some fragments of his consciousness when I was fighting against the Eternal Sleeper Cult. The content of those fragments just now emerged. I saw that the cult handed over something to someone under Kant's leadership, most likely Victor Kant's current Victor Kant, and that thing was an evil thing. It had been in that land for many years, for more than ten years, or even decades, during which time it had been absorbing the souls of living people and growing up!"

"The evil things that draw the souls of living people?" Pittman was shocked, "Are those refugees who were captured in Kant's territory..."

"It's probably fed," Gao Wen frowned. "That thing has grown to a critical moment, but has not completed the final transformation yet, but once it is completed... I'm worried that all areas including Tanzan Town, New Cecil and Carol Territory further north will be shrouded in by its power."

Gao Wen is not an exaggeration, because when the dream was about to end, he had already clearly felt the existence of a "item" that was growing that was supporting that dream world.

He could feel the power of the item, and the influence of it on all human minds on a considerable range. Perhaps because of devouring the fragments of the original owner of the item, Gao Wen had established some subtle connection with the thing, which made him almost 100% sure: once he absorbed enough energy, the cursed object placed in the Kant family castle by the cultists would burst out with a very terrible force, and none of the ordinary people in the New Cecil and Tanzan towns would be involved!

He had already threatened himself, so he couldn't sit idly by.

Gao Wen's serious attitude also infected Hetty, who became nervous and felt a little worried: "Ancestor, you have taken the risk in Tanzan Town once, this time..."

"No, this time it will not be so dangerous," Gao Wen shook his head, "as long as I find it in time, it will be no threat to me. I have a way to control it."

His answer was quite confident, which made Hetty feel a little relieved, but the latter could not help but care: "But if Viscount Victor Cond had been completely bewitched and controlled by the cultists, would he be against you?"

"In this whole incident, there is only one person with the ability to threaten me," Gao Wen looked at Hetty with concern and smiled slightly, "but that person has been destroyed by me in the consciousness space."
