Chapter 3634 The Moon in a Dream and the Fifty Floors
Before leaving last time, when Xia De entered the dream, he had already dispelled the wind and snow covering this "ice field" by resonating with the holy emblem of the "Winter Maiden" under the "hill" in the black-haired girl's dream. But now the wind and snow are just as fierce as last time.
Xia De interpreted this as the other person's consciousness having been briefly awake, and now it had fallen silent again.
So, just like last time, he took off in the blizzard, first braving the wind to find the two relatively conspicuous hills again, and then resonated the power of the holy symbol beneath the ice with [Chloe's Ice Echo] until the golden light soaring into the sky once again dispelled the wind and snow.
Looking up, one can see a gray sky, which represents the gray void where this enormous body resides.
Remembering Dr. Schneider's advice, Shad took off from the hill and flew as high as possible until he could completely encompass the enormous body in his field of vision through the gray mist-filled void.
The gray mist in the "void" of the dream was quite mixed, and Shad couldn't even distinguish its specific components for a moment. But besides the remnants of demonic power, he clearly sensed a power that was different in nature from the demonic power but equally distorted, though he didn't know where that power came from.
"Light Spell—"
Raising his right hand, Shad shouted the word:
"Silver Moon!"
Brilliant silver moonlight burst forth from his fingertips, gradually dispelling the gray mist and allowing the moonlight to shine upon the enormous body below. Even in the reality outside the dream world, the three witches saw Shad's body faintly glowing.
The rising moonlight in the dream even caused the gray mist that had already stained the ice field to gradually dissipate, finally revealing all the details of the body that was suspended in the void.
Beyond the void, some force within the gray mist seemed to have been stimulated by the silver moon and become active. Entangled by that inexplicable force, the gray mist eventually transformed into a luminous gray cloud, like a gray sun in the void.
The silver moonlight clashed with the gray sun, both vying for dominance in this dream. The gray sun had occupied this dream for too long; this was its home turf. The silver moonlight, on the other hand, naturally restrained the power of the gray mist, and even on its home turf, Shad showed no sign of backing down.
The clash between silver and gray caused the body floating in the void to flicker between light and shadow, and although her eyes were closed, she seemed to be observing the battle in the void.
Finally, with a meow coming from somewhere, the silvery moonlight dispersed the cloud of gray mist, illuminating the girl who was still dreaming with her eyes closed.
As the "gray sun" fell, all the mist that shrouded the void melted away under the brilliant moonlight.
Perhaps because Shad had invaded this dream, the void now took on a deep, night-like hue, and he himself hung high above the sleeping girl like a silver moon, accompanying her in her peaceful slumber.
But when the glowing Shad looked at the girl who had somehow become curled up, he was surprised to find that she was still unconscious.
"I have dispelled the power that was entangled in your soul, so why haven't you woken up yet?"
Perhaps you could try your "Sleeping Princess" puzzle lock.
The purpose of this lock is to awaken girls who have fallen into a coma for various reasons through kisses, and even store the power of the awakened girls in the castle within the lock, so that they can help Shad when the time is right.
"But I haven't activated the spirit of the Enchanted Lock yet."
But now, isn't this a dream?
"She" whispered a reminder, and Xia De, looking down at the girl huddled in the night, hesitated for a moment:
"OK then."
He emerged from the silver moon, letting its light continue to illuminate everything in the night. The silver moon extended downwards into white steps, and as Shad walked along those steps, his body grew larger and larger, yet it seemed as if the girl's figure was growing smaller and smaller in front of him.
As he climbed the steps to the girl at the end, the silver moon overhead shone upon them. Shad looked at the human face that bore an eighty percent resemblance to the maid Winnie, hesitated briefly, and then said softly:
Please forgive my offense.
As her smile grew even gentler, he reached out and embraced the curled-up girl, then softly kissed her lips:
"The Enchanted Princess: The Sleeping Princess"
No castle appeared, nor did any coffin materialize. All that remained was the starry sky illuminated in the deep night, and Shad and her standing at the top of the pure white steps. The silver moon shone upon them, illuminating this ever-more magnificent dream.
Kissing a strange girl was also a very unfamiliar thing for Shad, but there was no denying that even the lips of the ice maid were warm.
He soon felt a heavy object pressing against his chest. He opened his eyes in surprise and found that Mia was standing in front of him with an unfriendly expression, her large amber eyes glaring at him.
"Huh? Mia, what are you doing here? Oh, I forgot about you!"
Shad then realized that he had brought the cat all the way to the final battle with the Fallen Star Beast, and that he had obviously forgotten to turn it back when the team had lunch.
"This cat popped out of your clothes and kept meowing. Is it your cat? It's so beautiful, but it won't let me touch it."
Miss Novare stood to the side and spoke, her tone revealing her interest in the matter. However, Shad, currently lying down, tried to avoid looking at the scenery he shouldn't be seeing. He grabbed Mia with one hand and pulled on Miss Cohen's outstretched hand with the other, then used the huntress's help to sit up.
Now Shad knows where the meowing cat in his dream came from.
Spellcasting in dreams doesn't require paying with spirits; it requires Shad's conviction, mental strength, and imagination. The fact that Shad feels a throbbing in his head at this moment means he has indeed used the Enchanted Lock in his dream.
But when he looked at the black-haired girl while holding Mia, she hadn't woken up with him. Lady Gerd was still checking on her, and just as Shad was wondering if he should kiss her in reality as well, the girl's eyelashes trembled, and her eyes slowly opened.
A sudden gust of cold wind nearly extinguished the fireplace flame. As the strange wind subsided, the somewhat bewildered girl sat up, looking at the four people and a cat illuminated by the firelight. After a long while, she finally spoke:
"That cat is very hot."
Her tone was exceptionally cold and emotionless, quite different from Sister Daphne's aloofness; the latter was a smoldering fire, while the former was solidified ice. The real Winnie would never speak like that.
For a moment, Miss Noiret thought the girl was speaking a language she couldn't understand because the content of her speech was incomprehensible, but she quickly realized that the other girl also understood the language of the modern era.
"Who are you? Where do you come from? How are you feeling right now?"
The red-haired vampire asked three questions in a row, while the black-haired girl frowned and thought for a moment, her cold face still showing no expression.
The crimson hue and the sheen of human skin faded from her body, revealing instead the familiar, translucent, ice-crystal-like form that Shad knew so well. Aside from not wearing a maid's dress, she was indistinguishable from the maid Winnie.
She was also observing the four people and the cat, and her first answer stunned the three witches and Shad:
"I am a guest in room 5012 of this hotel. (Chapter 3506)"
"The 50st floor?"
"Are you a guest too?"
In everyone's imagination, she must have been possessed by a demon and implicated, which is why she was imprisoned in the hotel. No one expected that she was also a "resident" of this hotel—that is, a prisoner, and was actually imprisoned on the 50th floor.
Keep in mind that everyone's last task only involved the problem on the 40th floor.
"Yes, I used to live on the 50th floor."
Although her tone remained icy, her words gradually became more coherent, as if she were slowly mastering the language. Her icy blue, transparent eyes swept over everyone present, but ultimately settled on Shad:
"I gave up a lot of things and escaped from room 5012, and then I encountered that demon on this floor. I don't remember anything from before, I don't remember what I did, I only remember that I escaped from room 5012."
Miss Novare immediately looked at Shad, as she remembered that Shad could see the house numbers above the heads of the "guests" here, a convenience given to Shad by the gods on the first floor.
But whether before or after this natural spirit born from the ice and snow awakened, Shad did not see any numbers above her head.
He looked into those emotionless, icy blue eyes, and those same eyes looked back at him. Shad believed she probably truly didn't remember the past, but he also believed she definitely remembered that he had rescued her from the demons, and she clearly remembered the dream she had just had.
The three witches were all waiting for Shade to "make arrangements" for the newly awakened girl. Finally, Shade took the initiative to speak to her:
"Since you've forgotten a lot of things, if you're willing, I can accompany you to room 5012 to help you regain your memories. If you don't want to know about the past, you can come with us when we leave this place."
The witches looked at him in astonishment. It was clearly not what he was supposed to say. They couldn't understand his complete trust.
The girl with the crystal-clear body nodded gently:
"I want to know what happened in room 5012."
After a slight pause:
"Also, thank you. The moonlight is beautiful and gentle."
She raised her hand to touch her lips, and at that moment, a certain emotion finally flickered in her eyes. Though subtle, it was undeniable.
