Francois' idiotic and presumptuous question made the scene a bit awkward for a while.

"Francois, you idiot, apologize to Mrs. Agatha!" His girlfriend Christina shook her head helplessly, and then said apologetically to the landlady: "Please forgive me, he always Do something out of the ordinary."

"It doesn't matter, young man. In fact, my broom can carry people to fly, there are mummy frogs and lizards hanging in the basement, and there is also a nice magic cauldron." Mrs. Agatha, the landlady, said in a dark voice on purpose, "This Everything in this inn is full of magic, just waiting for you to explore..."

"Wow, cool! Can I take a photo with you?"

"Idiot, madam was only joking."

The old landlady's sense of humor immediately swept away the tension. She also took a selfie with the two young people and made a scary witch face.

"It's funny what you said." Li Mo smiled, "Do you know the strange things that happened recently?"

"Of course, poor fellows." The old lady shook her head, "This incident scares away many tourists... Forget it, I'll go and prepare dinner for you."

After the old lady finished speaking, she gracefully hugged the black cat and turned away. Li Mo and the others also returned to their room. After washing up, I went to the hotel's family restaurant.

The dinner was quite sumptuous, with a large apple pie, an assorted platter with fried onion rings, delicious sausage and venison mushroom soup, and of course the most famous Black Forest cake.

"You are definitely a witch, a witch of gourmet food!" Li Mo couldn't help admiring, he felt that he could have another one.

"In fact, I have not only various European cuisines, but also Chinese cuisine." The old lady Agatha raised her head reservedly, with an inexplicable sense of arrogance coupled with her old-fashioned face.

Thumbs up from all, quite a good atmosphere for dinner.

Li Mo resisted the temptation of German beer, and bid farewell to the French couple who were still drinking with Chieri.

As soon as he arrived in the corridor, Li Mo's face immediately became serious, and he said to Chieri: "Be careful tonight!"

Chieri nodded, and the two went back to their rooms.

The guest rooms in the small hotel are quite cozy, with elegant wallpapers, white and soft mattresses, and a few pots of flowers on the window sills.

Outside the window, across the tranquil river, the luxurious palace-style buildings on the opposite bank are still brightly lit.

On the way here, after the introduction of the French couple, Li Mo knew that although Baden-Baden is a small town, it is the largest gambling city in Europe.

This is the most popular resort in Europe, with hot springs, horse racing, casinos, and music. Since the 19th century, this city beloved by Napoleon III has also attracted Bismarck, Queen Victoria, and Russian tsars...

Even if something horrible happened, there are still many disapproving tourists staying here.

Marcus had an accident on the first day when he came here, so Li Mo didn't dare to be careless, and kept lying on the bed with his clothes on, looking through the materials he got from the Vatican through nano glasses.

However, nothing abnormal was found until four or five o'clock in the morning, so Li Mo had no choice but to catch up on returning to the cage.

In the early morning, after a simple breakfast, Li Mo and Chieri entered the town to investigate.

Since the disappearance of children, the passengers with children left here immediately, so the missing children are all the children of local residents.

This small town is endowed with unique natural scenery, where man-made buildings are integrated with nature. There are gardens and green areas everywhere. Villas, palaces, pavilions, chairs, etc. seem to grow there. A cool and quiet river flows slowly through this valley.

It can be said to be a paradise-like place, and the families who lost their children are also very rich because of running the hotel.

But every family is in an atmosphere of grief because of the loss of a child.

Because of Baden-Baden's influence, many organizations have come to investigate, including the German police and Interpol, but none of them have any clues.

Chieri has been here once, so he is naturally familiar with the way. Because Li Mo has been wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, no one can recognize him.

The results of the investigation are disappointing. These families have bound their children's information into books, full of expectations and telling the story, but there are no useful clues.

Fortunately, Li Mo has the magician's eye.

He and Chieri pulled local camera footage to the alleyway where a child had last disappeared.

Chieri took the wind, and Li Mo summoned the big eyeballs, and started the scene backtracking.

This is indeed the first scene where the child disappeared, but Li Mo didn't get any clues, because the scene at that important time period became like mixed watercolor paints.

Li Mo recalled the big eyeballs, looked at Chieri's expectant eyes, and shook his head helplessly.

Chieri already knew about Li Mo's ability, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't it possible to see what happened before? Why did this happen?"

"What has happened cannot be changed, unless the other party goes back to the past and reverses time and space. But some capable people can use magic to cover up the scenes that happened in the past." Li Mo sighed, his expression became a little dignified: "It seems that we The opponent is very strong."

"Then what should we do?" Chieri was a little dumbfounded.

"Go and see where the other children disappeared." Li Mo shook his head and said.

It took the two of them a day to search for all the places where the children were missing. After using the scene backtracking, they all found the same situation. No trace of energy flow was found at the scene.

The investigation suddenly bogged down.

"What should we do?" Chieri was a little confused for a moment, and he was full of confidence when he brought Li Mo here, but he didn't expect this to be the result.

Li Mo sat on a bench, frowned and smoked a cigarette, and suddenly asked: "Has those deaths in sleep happened recently?"

"It happened again the night before we came, and another child disappeared two days ago." Chieri said, shaking his head.

"I had doubts before, and after checking the information, I found some clues." Li Mo said thoughtfully: "Have you heard of the dimension of dreams?"

Seeing Chieri's confused eyes, Li Mo frowned and explained...

The dream dimension is an extensive and real dimension attached to the main world. It can be regarded as the dimension that is unconsciously linked and constructed by the life forms of the whole universe.

This dimension is quite complex and can be broadly divided into the lower astral and upper astral layers.

The lower astral layer is the outer layer of the dream dimension, between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space, with a broad and loose structure. Ordinary people's unconsciousness will link here when they dream, which is relatively safe and easy to break free.

The high astral layer is in the center of the dream dimension, and the space here is relatively chaotic, with three-dimensional, four-dimensional and even five-dimensional spaces. And in some places, there will be a world inside and outside. This place is very dangerous, and some advanced magicians can pull people into this space for torture.

There are also some more dangerous places, many star regions will have a nightmare space, inhabited by demons who rely on devouring life forms to survive, and the ruler of the nightmare space on the earth is a demon called Nightmare.

"I remembered that during the exorcism, we often encountered people who were tortured by nightmares. We thought it was a psychological reason, but I didn't expect it to be a demon." Chieri suddenly realized, and then became suspicious, "But Has there ever been such a fatal situation?"

"This is also my strange point." Li Mo nodded, "Even the Nightmare King only likes to get fear through intimidation. This situation is like killing pigs and sheep to make a living."

"And the most important point is that they won't kidnap people casually." Li Mo thought thoughtfully, "some accident must have happened in the dream dimension."

"Is there any way?" Chieri scratched his head, which was completely beyond his imagination.

"I don't have time to wait any longer. I will go to the dimension of dreams to find clues." Li Mo's expression became firm.

"How do I get there, dreaming?" Chieri was a little worried, "Should I go buy some sleeping pills..."

"That way you won't even be able to maintain a clear consciousness." Li Mo shook his head, "I'll go alone, and you'll just be a burden."

"Well, I'm indeed a burden." Chieri smiled bitterly, "but how do you get there?"

"Astral projection!"

It was late when the two returned to the hotel.

After dinner, Li Mo asked Chieri to stay outside the door, while he sat cross-legged on the bed.

Simply put, astral projection is the out-of-body experience of the soul, and in the East it is also called the excursion of the yin spirit. It is one of the necessary skills for mages.

In the Doctor Strange movie, Strange relied on this trick to learn spells quickly, and he also used this trick to instruct his girlfriend to perform surgery on himself after being injured.

Li Mo learned the knowledge in Asgard, but Tianhou's method didn't apply to him at all. Fortunately, in the secret archives of the Vatican, he found a method suitable for human beings in an ancient yoga scroll.

The first thing is to enter meditation. Li Mo, who is already used to meditating, quickly entered the state. Then enter abdominal breathing. When inhaling, observe the breath from the roar chakra to the root chakra. When exhaling, relax every part of the body until the whole body is relaxed, and finally return to breathing.

Gradually, the whole body will feel numbness, which will become stronger and stronger, and you will feel less and less breathable. There will also be a sense of body expansion, and you will feel that your body is getting bigger and longer. At this time, you have entered the frequency of the spirit body.

I persisted for a while, until the numbness disappeared, and the vibration feeling when the spirit body loosened its body appeared.

Slowly, with his eyes closed, Li Mo began to see things and light in the guest room...

With a bang, Li Mo's soul floated out from behind, and saw his body below.

Li Mo looked at the hand of the soul curiously. As he guessed, because of the special soul and the vampire vine, his soul was particularly solid. And the vampire vine bound to the soul seems to be even more powerful after coming here.

At some point outside the window, it began to rain lightly. Hundreds of millions of raindrops hung in the air and fell slowly at a snail-like speed. Time seemed to be frozen at this moment.

In fact, time has not slowed down, but it has become faster. The thinking in the soul state has been freed from the shackles of the body and reached an unprecedented speed.

Observing the world from the state of the soul, the space seems to be covered with a layer of ground glass. This is a phenomenon after the superposition of several spaces.

Because Li Mo absorbed the energy of the space gem, and his own space has a high degree of sensitivity, so his feelings are even more profound.

The space seems to be somewhat reflective, which is a phenomenon superimposed with the mirror image space.

The use of mirror space is also a very practical spell, which can be used for defense and protection, as well as to trap enemies. If the spell energy is strong, it can even fold and distort the mirror image space, causing lethal consequences to the enemy.

It is a reflection of reality, but it does not affect reality, and it has strong self-healing properties.

It is a pity that Li Mo did not find any relevant magic skills in the confidential archives of the Vatican.

After only watching for a while, Li Mo stopped observing, and there will be plenty of time in the future.

The characteristics of the low astral layer of the dream dimension are obvious, like the starlight-like smoke and dust emanating from the space. After Li Mo felt it carefully for a while, his soul merged into it.

I'm still in the same room, but there's no longer the overlapping sense of space just now. It's not raining outside the window, and I can see anything clearly, but the strange thing is that I can't tell whether it's day or night.

Li Mo knew that he had come to the lower astral layer of the dream dimension.

After taking a light step, Li Mo floated out of the window. He doesn't use energy to fly, but there is almost no gravity here.

It's very simple, because many objects don't have real gravity, it's just a construct of ideas. This is why many people often dream that they are actually flying.

If you want to walk like you usually do, it's also very simple, you just need to walk if you want to, the dimension of dreams is so weird.

The town in the lower astral layer is not deserted, some soul bodies have already come here, acting as if no one else was there.

There are children playing wildly, and adults talking and walking into the air. They just came to the place constructed by this group consciousness, they couldn't see others, they were only immersed in their own dreams. Only when the energy of consciousness reaches a critical point will the things in their dreams appear in this lower astral plane.

Li Mo didn't care about them, the space structure here is very loose, as long as he wakes up, he will leave immediately.

What he is going to is the higher astral level, which is deeper in the dream dimension.

Continue to focus on the perception, get rid of the illusion in front of you, the space with a sense of overlap is the real world, and the other space full of dignified darkness is the high astral layer.

Stretch out the tentacles to infuse energy and swipe in the air, and the loose lower astral space is easily broken like broken glass.

Gathering his mind, Li Mo took a step forward and walked in...
