Being next door, Fu Qian did not observe Dean Glenn's expression so carefully, but he understood Mariana's intentions quite well.
It was obvious that in addition to leading them to find people, this guide also played an important role as a control group.
Forcing Glenn's reaction to her tactics in front of Esther made it difficult for the latter to find a reason to ignore it.
Even for such a character, there is still no way to explain this. This scene will become the deadlock of reality in front of us to the greatest extent.
Esther will have to accept the other possibility she is offered.
These things flashed through Fu Qian's mind in an instant, and the process of drawing conclusions was more natural than nature.
Mainly, I have done a lot of similar things myself.
And it seems that Mariana's plan is working well.
…
"At some point, I do remember some vague fragments."
After staring at Glenn for a long time, until this usually authoritative person subconsciously avoided her gaze, Esther finally spoke again.
"All kinds of magic and evil, but there are also stars protecting ordinary people..."
"Where do you live there?"
"The orphanage, a tall and gloomy old building."
Esther answered almost instantly this time.
"Is there anyone there who makes you feel warm lately?"
Looking at each other, Mariana seemed very satisfied with this answer.
"...Yes, I don't remember her appearance. She seems to be a visitor...not someone from the orphanage..."
Intermittently, Esther sounded as if her memory was reviving bit by bit.
"She doesn't want us to call him by his name, but a special title, but I-"
"Mrs. Raven."
Mariana helped a little and gave her a title.
"Yes! It's Mrs. Raven, how did you know?"
Esther was obviously excited.
"Because she can tell at a glance what you are suffering from, which is why I am here."
Mariana seemed quite satisfied with her reaction, and her smile continued as she spoke.
"Welcome ashore."
…
"So I am indeed nine years and five months old, living in an orphanage and under the protection of the stars? So what are these in front of me? And those killings..."
During the long silence, Esther's breathing became rapid, and then returned to gentle.
"Esther..."
Faced with her reaction, Glenn's voice next to her sounded very complicated.
"Of course it's the water that wants to submerge you. In fact, we were submerged for a long time... But luckily, one day we poked our heads out and took a look, instead of completely drowning in it..."
From Mariana's narration, it can be heard that she seems to have had the same experience.
"Don't be afraid, we will help you escape from this nightmare completely."
…
When the nightmare is going on?
It can be heard that the exchange next door has deeply touched Esther.
Fu Qian, who did not hide his listening behavior, felt that he had benefited a lot.
The place Esther said was protected by the stars, no matter how you looked at it, it was the place where she came from.
And Mariana compared her to a person who was drowning in water and was lucky enough to emerge and see the truth. It was too easy to think of Laerting's many nightmare victims.
But it sounds like most victims, like Esther, are not aware that they are trapped in a nightmare, and even define the world of stars as a nightmare.
It seems to be a bit like what I did, such as cheating on Amira during supper.
This mission has a bit of black humor.
…
An ongoing nightmare that is probably not touched by the vampires or the cult...
After evaluating the analysis results, the value of this mission was once again increased before payment.
"I understand...so after that, I can become just like you?"
What is gratifying is that the next moment the prisoner next door showed an acceptance speed far beyond ordinary people and did not waste time.
"Very good, I knew you were different."
Mariana was generous with her praise.
"Yes, as long as you no longer resist waking up and knowing which side is true, you will soon receive your share of the gift."
"You will even be stronger than us because you are special."
"how come……"
Esther sounded a little unbelievable.
"I'm just passing on Mrs. Raven's comments. You can ask her yourself when the time comes."
"...Then let's leave now?"
Quickly putting away her doubts, Esther nodded and stood up.
"No, it's us, you still want to stay here."
However, Mariana signaled her not to worry.
"Our purpose today is not to take you away, but to 'rescue' you from the prison of your own consciousness."
"Contrary to what Dean Glenn thinks, it is not difficult to take him away by force, but it can easily arouse a violent reaction from it, which will put you in danger."
"it?"
Esther didn't hide her confusion.
"Nature is a nightmare, and it won't let us leave easily."
"Is it possible that the nightmare is still alive?"
Esther's doubts sounded even deeper.
"Of course it's alive. It doesn't want to let anyone go, and anything in it can be its tentacles and tools, anything..."
Facing the new members of the camp, Mariana's tone was unprecedentedly serious, ensuring that the other party would not take him lightly.
"In short, what you need to do is to continue to stay here and wait for the gifts to come. When the time comes, leaving here will become very easy and natural."
"And we'll take you to Lady Raven."
"I understand...but him?"
Esther agreed seriously, but then looked at Glenn and asked questions.
"He heard everything, how could I hide here?"
"I……"
Under the repeated attacks, the latter's worldview obviously collapsed so much that for a while he couldn't even make a promise to save himself.
"Don't worry, he won't remember what he heard soon."
Mariana's posture remained unchanged, she pointed at Glenn, whose face turned pale for a moment, and made a gesture.
"Have you calculated the dose? Let's do it."
“Very precise and well prepared.”
The teammate who was watching her performance answered casually, and the next moment he grabbed Glenn's neck and spit out a cloud of green phosphorescent mist.
The latter instantly collapsed.
"He'll take a nap, and when he wakes up he won't remember anything from that time, and we'll take care of the rest."
Mariana casually introduced Esther.
"...Then why didn't you put him down just now?"
The latter understood but was a little confused at the same time.
"Without his reaction, would you have accepted it so quickly?"
Mariana asked with a smile.
"Don't worry, we will eliminate all elements that put you in danger."
"For example, apart from Dean Glenn, the person eavesdropping next door will forget it more completely."
