Whispering Verse

The water is green, the sky is black when it rains, and the thick fog is comparable to the normal world space chaos. This depressing and terrifying atmosphere tells outsiders that this dream is unusual from the beginning.

There was no Megan or Audrey around, only Shade stood up from the dock alone.

"Are you in a dream now?"

【Yes. This is their dream, not that you have entered another island. 】

"That's good."

Although Shade didn't understand dream-like abilities, he had communicated with doctors, so he knew that dreams reflected the state of the mind and soul. What they see at this moment is enough to show how much pressure Megan and Audrey are under.

I'm afraid they have never had an easy time since they came into contact with the prophecy of blood.

Shade took a deep breath and looked at his hands again. This was not a deep dream, so the "divine afterglow" did not appear. So his little finger shook slightly twice, and the golden thread appeared from the air. The two of them had considered separation before falling into the dream, so the current situation was not very unexpected.

"Let's see what kind of dream Megan and Audrey created."

The golden thread pointed in the direction of the path in the forest. After following the dark path into the increasingly bizarre town in the dream, the thread continued to the south, guiding Shade to the Edwards mansion on the hill.

Apart from being gloomy and scary, the island in the dream is not much different from the real island, so there is no need to worry about getting lost. After successfully arriving at the locked mansion, Shade gently clicked the door lock of the mansion, but nothing happened:

"Isn't the rule in dreams that you can't force the door open?"

Shade also encountered a similar situation when he fell asleep with the doctor. Shade thought about it and shouted loudly towards the lighted house in the fog of the dark night:

"Hello, is anyone there? I'm here to visit Miss Megan Edwards."

There was no response, so Shade shouted again:

"Well, I made the mistake. I'm here to visit Miss Megan Edwards and Miss Audrey Edwards...in no particular order."

After the words fell, the door lock automatically opened. Xia De muttered something in his heart that no one could hear. He walked into the yard and came to the window. It was obviously dark outside and the lights were on in the room, but he couldn't see clearly from outside the window. Case.

After knowing that he couldn't peek from the outside, Sha De knocked on the door and once again explained his purpose. The door opened automatically, allowing Shade to enter the room, which was also filled with thick fog.

The room was brightly lit and had all the furniture and furnishings, but there was no atmosphere of human life. This is probably how a "dangerous home" is portrayed in horror novels, reflecting Megan and Audrey's fear of the very concept of "the Edwards family."

Without checking the direction pointed by the thread on his little finger, Shade walked directly to the restaurant on the first floor where the Edwards family tree was.

Outside the window was a terrifying dark night with heavy fog, which made the interior even brighter. Only the room where the restaurant is located does not have any fog, and the candlesticks and kerosene lamps placed on the long dining table make the restaurant even brighter.

When Shade opened the door of the restaurant, the owners of the dream were already waiting for him here.

By the window, a girl in a black dress looked out at the night, her melancholy face reflected on the glass. At the end of the long dining table away from the door, a girl also wearing a long black dress put her hands in white lace gloves together on the table and looked up at Shade.

The clothes and appearance of the two of them are exactly the same, and they are both the masters of this dream.

Shade held the doorknob and looked at the scene in front of him, so the girl standing by the window also looked at Shade from the reflection in the window glass:

"Do you have anything to ask?"

The two said together, which made this scene more and more like it happened in a horror novel.

Shade nodded and pointed at himself:

"Why did you two wear beautiful evening gowns and only gave me ordinary clothes."

The girls obviously didn't expect Shade to ask this, so the girl by the window waved to Shade, and Shade's clothes changed from regular clothes to black banquet formal wear.

"Okay, actually my own clothes are more comfortable."

Shade said with a smile, and the clothes on his body changed back to their original appearance. Although this is not his own dream, thanks to his strong soul, he can still do such a small thing as changing clothes.

He walked into the door and closed it:

"So you decided to tell me about you now?"

"Yes."

They said together, their overlapping voices like echoes:

"This is a good opportunity. The current situation can be better explained in dreams. The ancestors have already appeared, and the secrets of the Edwards family have gradually spread to the entire material world. There are some things that must be explained to you in advance... ...You don’t seem that surprised?”

"I know some things in advance, and my perception is very powerful."

He sat at the other end of the long table and looked at the two ladies standing and sitting in turn. Their appearance in the dream is consistent with their appearance in the real world, they are all so young and beautiful:

"Let me tell you first, what I know about you. Megan and Audrey are actually you. The mental damage and soul discomfort in the past came from the fact that you two exist in the same body. After all, a body can only It’s normal to have a soul.”

The two ladies looked at him with pursed lips, and Shade continued:

"It's actually not difficult to discover this. You are still different after all. Two persons, this should be an appropriate description of you, right?"

He sighed:

"What I'm not sure about now are two points. First, why your souls entered the same body, and secondly, whether your souls have been completely integrated."

"The soul enters the same body, and I will tell you after I wake up from the dream."

The girl sitting at the other end of the table said:

"As for whether we have merged...it is better to say that we have never been separated."

The girl by the window walked towards the girl sitting, and the two held hands together, and then became one in a burst of light. In other words, it turned into a strange appearance with one body but two heads.

Even the witch's beauty could not conceal the horror of this scene. They looked at Shade:

"Scary, right?"

"I've seen scarier things. Besides, this isn't what your souls look like, right?"

Shade shook his finger:

"According to my original judgment, your souls are in the stage of being one but with independent consciousness. Showing it now is just to show that 'I am in you, and you are in me'. If your souls are really like what you see in front of you, It's so strange, your body can't still be normal. The basic theory of the ring magician: the soul and the body will affect each other."

Therefore, foreigners gradually become handsome.

Megan and Audrey's relationship is completely different from Lecia and Dorothy, or Helen and Grace. They are definitely not the same person, but it is difficult to say that they are two people in a strict sense. The only thing Shade can be sure of is that Megan and Audrey do have independent consciousness and are not the product of split personality.

The situation of the two is not as complicated as Lecia and Dorothy, because their souls are relatively stable. They don't have the ability to be completely integrated like the princess and the female writer, but they obviously can't be separated.

"Please answer: Do you think we are one person, or two people?"

The two heads merged together, making her look like a normal person in her dream.

"Two people."

Shade said without hesitation:

"I firmly believe that you are two people."

Megan and Audrey finally smiled:

"If it weren't for the fact that only that friend from the Thirteenth Ring Road knew about our situation, I almost thought you had investigated us in advance before you met me."

Shade asked deliberately:

"Then why don't you think that I heard about you from your friend on the Thirteenth Ring Road, and then deliberately approached you?"

The girl with brown shawl hair blinked:

"Absolutely impossible, because she... doesn't like men. Yes, she and I are different."

She stood up and walked towards Shade. The sound of high heels under the black dress struck Shade's heart.

She finally came to Shade and said seriously:

"You told me about your past this morning. I want to tell you something about myself before revealing my last secret."

This dream is as real as reality, and those eyes that represent the witch are so powerful:

"Do you think I'm weird like this?"

"Why is it weird? Rather, it's interesting."

[Or very...]

"No need to say any more!"

Shade stopped her from speaking in his heart, and then said to Megan:

"I know other girls who are in a similar situation to you. I can introduce you to them when I have time."

"Really, how many other types of girls do you know?"

She pursed her lips and put her hand on Shade's chest:

"Answer me for the last time, even if I am like this, even if I may not be human, even if my soul is so weird, are you still willing to protect me and accompany me to witness the family secrets?"

"Actually, I won't be able to beat you once you regain your eleventh ring... Of course I will. I am a person who keeps my promises."

He nodded slightly, and the owner of the dream also made a verdict:

"Yes, you didn't lie."

She put one hand around Shade's neck, pressed the side of his face with the other, and kissed him as she did on the dock. The contact between spiritual bodies in the dream allowed Shade to further confirm the state of her soul. But before Shade could fully understand everything, the third and fourth hands "robbed" Shade's head, and then there was another face with the same face:

"Don't forget that you still have me."

The new red lips came into contact with Shade. Shade closed his eyes and tried not to think about how the two of them conjured up four hands and two heads when they stood so close.
