Chapter 90: Recite My Name

Chapter 90: Recite My Name

After some busy work, Klein opened the bedroom door he had locked behind him and looked into the sitting room. There, he saw Danitz lying in the armchair, snoring loudly.

Although he had long since heard the sound, Klein still could not help silently criticizing him:

“It is past three in the afternoon!

“Is this fellow completely letting himself go now that he no longer needs to listen to the wireless telegraph receiver?”

The thought had only just passed when his smile gradually appeared. He felt that this was precisely what he needed.

The prerequisite for him to remain lucid in a dream was that someone invaded his consciousness. When he dreamed normally, he was still muddled and confused. In other words, relying only on himself, he had no way to conduct the experiment. After all, he did not know “psychological suggestion.”

Therefore, his plan was to borrow an external power to enter someone else’s dream. That way, he could remain lucid like a Nightmare.

His original plan had been to take a walk outside and search for a suitable target. But now Danitz had arranged himself so perfectly that one could hardly resist the urge to kick him.

No, to test on him… Klein corrected his earlier thought inwardly.

He considered the matter and did not use a Dream Charm, because the ancient name of Sequence 7 Pyromaniac was Fire Mage, and Danitz’s spiritual intuition was not low. The moment the activation incantation capable of prying open the forces of nature was spoken softly, he would inevitably wake up.

As for whether he could make an effective dodge in time, that was another matter.

After deliberation, Klein took out another prepared item. It was a dark, deep, gem-like gelatinous object—the Beyonder characteristic left behind by a Nightmare.

It could be used in a preliminary way, just like the All-Black Eye left behind by Marionettist Rosago, though its effects were far inferior to what it could achieve after being made into a mystical item. For instance, this Nightmare Beyonder characteristic could not allow Klein to remain in the inn suite while traversing different dreams throughout the entire city, nor could it forcefully drag others into a dream. However, the most basic close-range invasion of someone else’s dream remained very simple.

Klein held the dark “gem” and extended his spirituality.

Before his eyes, illusory darkness swiftly spread, filling his entire vision. Everything that had originally existed here became enveloped within it, including Danitz in the armchair.

There was no longer a human figure there, only a hazy oval ball of light.

Klein immediately extended his spirituality toward it and touched it lightly.

Without any warning, all kinds of scenes surged chaotically around him, flashing rapidly, before finally settling upon a ship several dozen meters long. It possessed both a towering smokestack spewing mist and a huge spread canvas sail hanging from above. The deck had been wiped unusually bright, reflecting a color like gold coins beneath the sunlight.

Danitz stood beneath the barrel of the main cannon, arms crossed, leisurely supervising the sailors. From time to time, he shouted loudly, “Scrub that spot again!

“Dogshit, do you want to copy the ancient Feysac dictionary?”

This fellow is quite impressive aboard the Golden Dream… Klein ignored the dream’s owner and flew on his own toward the other end of the ship. Finding a concealed spot, he landed on the deck and prepared to test his inspiration.

What he intended to test was very simple: whether, while in a lucid state, reciting The Fool’s honorific name inside a dream would have any effect, and whether he himself would detect someone praying.

That way, if Miss Justice encountered danger within the sea of collective subconscious, she could use this method to seek help… Moving the muscles of his back, Klein’s expression gradually became serious. He spoke in a low voice:

“The Fool that does not belong to this…
