Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1278: Their respective identities

At this moment, the first thought that came to Klein's mind was not panic, but astonishment.

He was not surprised that the "Original Witch" appeared in his dream. After all, Gray had already reminded him that even if this true god fell, the will and spiritual imprint remaining in the uniqueness and sequence 1 characteristics would exist for a long time, and would affect Angel who absorbed a part of the "doomsday" characteristics and forcibly accommodated the uniqueness.

This will inevitably lead to the appearance of a character symbolizing this witch in the dream.

What surprised Klein was that Chick had become Angel's schoolmate in just two days, and they even acted very close.

Two days ago, they fought so hard that the world in the mirror was wiped out... Seeing Angel respond positively to Chick's obvious intimacy, the two of them really walked towards the door holding hands like best friends, Klein was a little stunned for a moment.

He quickly glanced at the other dreamers around him and found that they were not surprised, but Angel Gray's figure quickly faded, leaving only an outline that could be distinguished by the naked eye. The goddess's entire body was also shrouded in a vague shadow, which no longer attracted people's attention and did not feel abrupt.

The invisibility effect of Sequence 8 isn’t very good... Klein calmed down and stepped aside, watching the college students filing out after school.

Angel and Chick also walked past him, but they did not react to Klein, who was wearing a top hat and dressed in a retro style. Instead, they were interested in Russell, who was tall, had slightly curly chestnut hair, and was dressed like an artist, and they looked at him a few more times.

But until the two of them followed the crowd onto the street and left the campus, they did not show any familiar reaction to the two faces on the roadside.

They really don’t know us… Klein was half relieved and half emotional.

When the gate of Tingen University returned to silence and the last ray of orange from the setting sun disappeared from the horizon, Klein, Roselle, and the reappearing Amanesis and Gray stood together again.

"Is that the 'Original Witch' Chike? I have seen her statue..."

Russell was the first to ask, his eyes still looking at the two beautiful figures going away, and it was unclear whether he was looking at Angel or Chick.

Klein suddenly thought of a possibility and shook his head.

"It could also be the feminine side of the 'First Creator'. Since they were born from the original witch, they have almost the same appearance."

"It's unlikely to be the original in the mirror. He should only have the mind of a child at this moment, and should not behave in an overly adult manner... I even suspect that until the dream city changes and He regains more power, He will not have a specific image in this dream."

Angel Gray, who had come out of invisibility and was glowing with some kind of fluorescent light, explained.

The mind of a child... Did the original creator in the mirror sneak into this dream city just to grow up quickly? In the past thousand years, He did not show enough threat because He was suppressed by the "original witch" Chick. Is this why He has such great hatred for Chick?
Klein's mind was full of thoughts. He felt that all these possibilities were worth exploring, but not now, because there was still the most important problem to be solved.

"If that woman is the embodiment of Chick's will in the dream, then why did He approach Angel?"

He asked somewhat anxiously.

If the dream develops smoothly, then he will naturally have nothing to worry about. He can find a way to slowly awaken Angel's memory and let her remember the existence of "Klein".

But now Chick has gotten there first and has become Angel's close friend. This makes Klein wonder whether this "original witch" left behind some means of resurrection when she fell, and planned to take advantage of the opportunity when Angel accommodated the uniqueness to resurrect directly in her body.

If faced with such an emergency, Klein would have to "sacrifice" a dreamer, kill Angel directly, destroy this dream city, restart everything, and bring Chila back to the same starting line.

"Don't worry, it's not getting any worse."

Suddenly, Amanesis's ethereal, gentle voice sounded, instantly calming Klein's inner anxiety and making him relax.

The goddess of the night watched with satisfaction as the sunset disappeared and the bright white moon appeared in the sky. She continued:

"'Original Witch' Chike has fallen, and only the spiritual imprint remains in the Beyonder characteristics, and this power is not even as strong as the incomplete original creator in the mirror. The fact that He can appear in the dream and beside Angel is probably only because of the aggregation of Beyonder characteristics, which makes Him involuntarily approach the followers of the 'City of Disaster' and the owner of the uniqueness of the 'Witch'.

“If Alistair Tudor appeared in the dream, I’m afraid the result would be the same... This should not be what they intended.

"Of course, Angel will also be attracted to Chick, and the projection of Chick's identity in her dream will be affected by her relationship with him."

So it was all the result of the aggregation of the "Witch" pathway... Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked:
"Then will we, at least me, have corresponding identities in the dream?"

He thought again of the possibility of "dream projection" that Gray had mentioned, and looked at this pioneer who had once entered another dream city.

The latter nodded and said:

"It's very likely, but she may not know Angel, otherwise she would have recognized you and Huang Tao just now. Of course, this is also an opportunity to get close to her."

Huang Tao... Oh, right, she also knows that I'm Zhou Mingrui... Klein suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and then he grasped the key point of the other person's words:
"You mean, we should first find the corresponding identities in the dream, replace them, obtain a reasonable identity, and then approach Angel and try to awaken her memory, or get rid of Chick?"

"Yes, we also used this method when we entered your dream." Gray replied, with the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he had thought of something interesting. "But the 'Original Witch' Chike is not the focus. She may even be Angel's help in fighting against the will of the 'Primal Creator'."

"When dealing with the remaining spirit of the Creator deep within the Beyonder characteristics, all other Beyonder's marks are useful."

Russell nodded in agreement.

I almost forgot that there are three gods here. Oh, that person has the most say in fighting against the Creator, against the will of "God" and "Tianzun"... Klein muttered to himself and looked around. Suddenly, he found that Grisha Adam, who had been following them, was gone.

No, is He really following us all the time? Why don’t I have any impression of Him since I left the subway station? Is He invisible through psychology, or did He leave secretly?
"Adam?"

He called out tentatively, not using the title "Amon's brother". Anyway, he was currently in a dream and did not need to worry about the other party targeting him based on this.

But there was no fifth person around. There was only Roselle who seemed to be watching a joke, Amanesis who remained calm, and Gray who also seemed to have just remembered that there was another person in the team.

Just as Klein was about to shout again, the Goddess of Night looked over as if sensing something:
"He's coming."

At the same time, that voice that seemed to always remain warm and without a trace of gloom sounded in Klein's ears: "I'm here."

He turned his head suddenly and found Adam, wearing a white robe and holding a cross on his chest, standing next to him. It was as if He had always been there, but he had accidentally ignored Him before.

Noticing that Klein was looking at him, Adam smiled, stretched out the hand that was not holding the cross, handed over a stack of A4-sized white paper, and said:

“I just found something interesting and left for a while.

"I think you guys need these."

Left for a while... If Angel was here, he would definitely pull Him into the team and monitor in real time whether He used psychology to become invisible and secretly leave the team... Klein complained in his heart, took the thin stack of manuscript paper, and glanced at it. He was shocked to find that there were several identity information recorded on it in handwriting.

Before he could take a closer look, Adam said in his soothing voice:

"I entered the dreams and subconsciousness of nearby residents and found a lot of information. For example, there is no mysterious resurrection in this world, and it is a modern city with no extraordinary power at all. There is also information about some 'natives' of the dream city who look and have the same names as us.

"Grisha Adam, the bishop of the Church of Light in this city, also teaches part of the courses at Tingen University...

"Roselle Gustav, the head of a listed company in this city, has a daughter who is also studying at Tingen University...

"Amanesis, Dean of the History Department of Tingen University..."

The bishop of the church... Is this Angel's stereotype of Adam? Roselle is actually a senior executive of a listed company, and has a daughter. Could it be Bernadette? As for the goddess... What does "Her" have to do with the history department? Well, she may be the one who has lived the longest, and can be said to have experienced the entire history... Klein listened to Adam's narration while flipping through the information in his hand and asked casually:

"what about me?"

“You…” Adam smiled, which gave Klein a bad feeling. “I haven’t found an identity that matches your image, but Angel is very interested in Chinese and has chosen Chinese as a foreign language course.”

"Her teacher was Sherlock Moriarty."

Upon hearing this name, all the time travelers present turned their eyes to Klein. Even though he had the clown ability that had degenerated to the Sequence 8 level, he was unable to hide his hot cheeks.

It has finally come to this... When I was looking at Russell's diary and laughing at him, I should have thought that this day would come... Klein bravely faced everyone's gaze and turned to the last page of the information in his hand. As expected, he found the information of that "Sherlock".

So, in Angel's eyes, I am a teacher who is proficient in Chinese? No, this is the most profound memory in my subconscious mind. In Backlund, she and I, who were pretending to be Sherlock... Klein quickly gathered his scattered thoughts and flipped through the information again, asking doubtfully:

"No Angel Grey's?"

According to the dream projection theory, Angel, who doesn't know that she is the "person in the mirror", should be most impressed by Angel Gray. How could there be no role for her in this dream city?
Adam shook his head and said:
"I haven't found any identity related to her. I guess it's because there are no two people with exactly the same appearance in this dream, unless..."

"Unless she still thinks of me as the 'Man in the Mirror' in her subconscious, and there is no 'witch' now, and there is no environment for the Man in the Mirror to appear?"

Gray took the initiative to take over the conversation.

Unless Angel's self-awareness continues to recover and he realizes that his supernatural abilities can reach the corresponding effect of Sequence 7, or even he himself recovers to the "witch" sequence, the corresponding man in the mirror will be born?
The feminine side of the original creator in the mirror is not waiting for this opportunity, is it? Will He appear as the mirror person of the "original witch" Chike?

Klein thought for a moment and said:

"If we kill the people who represent us in these dreams and take their identities, will that cause any problems?"

Adam shook his head and said:
"They are all part of the dream, fictional images, and will disappear from this dream after death."

Therefore, as long as we don’t kill too many, the dream won’t collapse... Klein took a deep breath and said:

"Then we will each 'occupy' an identity in the dream. Except for Roselle, everyone has a legitimate reason to approach Angel. We can use this to investigate why Angel came into contact with the power of mysticism, Chick's condition, and where the negative side of the 'prime creator in the mirror' is hidden..."

If he was asked to kill real people and replace them, Klein would still be a little hesitant, but the "NPC" in the dream would not have this burden.

Replacing the identities of Sherlock, Roselle, Grisha and others will allow these outsiders to quickly integrate into the city, making subsequent investigations easier.

What puzzled him the most was how Angel had come into contact with information about potions in this fictional world without any occult power, and how he had acquired supernatural powers up to Sequence 8.

Only by figuring out everything would he have a chance to wake up Angel, rather than letting the Prime Creator gain the upper hand... He made up his mind secretly.

----

The next day, Sherlock Moriarty, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, a beard and gold-rimmed glasses, walked into Tingen University, walked around the maze-like bushes, and came to the building where his office was located.

Last night, with the help of the information provided by Adam, he sneaked into the Chinese teacher's apartment and dealt with this poor man who looked 8% similar to himself but had a completely different temperament due to his beard, glasses and other features without any psychological burden. He used the "Faceless Man" ability that was reduced to Sequence to modify his own image and successfully played the other person's role.

This way, I can get close to Angel without any burden... Of course, I can't act too intimate. She should just treat me as an ordinary teacher... Klein kept reminding himself in his heart, but he felt a little complacent because he had taken a successful step.

Suddenly, he noticed a beautiful lady in a black dress walking slowly towards him on the other side of the long corridor. She had a few documents tucked under her arms and a foldable phone in her hands. She kept pressing her thumbs and staring at the screen intently, as if her body and mind were immersed in it.

The director of the history department... seeing how absorbed she was in playing with her phone, she definitely couldn't be a goddess... hadn't she decided all night how to occupy this role?

Klein muttered as he walked past Amanesis, who was browsing his phone, and walked into his office.
