The fifth king of the elves

Chapter 20
Time once again forgot about this silent castle. The dream monster sleeping with the castle was finally awakened by the sound of the castle collapsing. Bulldozers and excavators carefully plowed every inch of the castle.The Dream Demon looked desperately at what happened before her eyes. She could scare away passers-by, but she couldn't rebuild the castle.

The subsequent scenes began to be fragmented and sporadic, as if the memory was distorted by the loneliness and despair of the dream monster.

Luther was in a dream that was cut into pieces, saw the dream monster fighting strange trainers, saw the strangely dressed man bring the gem-studded ribbon to the dream monster... saw the dream monster angrily destroying everything around it, and jumped into the night... saw her restless every night in the forest, and couldn't sleep at night.I also saw her taking care of those abandoned elves, cuddling with other dream monsters.

The world returned to its original surging mist.

Luther looked at the dream monster with wet eyes, and the words came to his lips, but he swallowed them again.

He remembered the moment when the girl stroked the dream demon in the garden full of flowers.

Luther stretched out his hand cautiously, but hesitantly put it down again.

After a long time, Luther patted his face, looked into Dream Demon's eyes, and put his hands on Dream Demon's head bit by bit.

The phantom of the dream monster did not feel any real sense of touch, and the fog surrounding Luther gradually dissipated.

Luther stared blankly at the white surroundings, the dream monster disintegrated in the air, and noisy voices began to pour into his exhausted mind.

"Wake up, wake up!"

A familiar voice rang in Luther's ear, Luther opened his eyes with difficulty, and Sachiko's excited face appeared in Luther's vision.

Bandages wrapped Luther's hands and feet, and the plasterboard was fixed on the arms. There was a heavy and tight wrapping feeling on his forehead, and he must have wrapped a lot of white cloth.

In front of Luther's hospital bed was a basket of fruit, flowers, his own backpack, and shuttlecock cotton to refresh himself. Lalulas and Mary Lou threw themselves into Luther's arms.

This was going to kill him, the three little guys' reckless actions made Luther's situation worse, and they cried out in pain.Sachiko hurriedly carried the three little ones away from the hospital bed.

"How long have I slept?"

"Two days, a full two days." Sachiko replied: "The doctor said that your back was injured, but after the treatment was completed that night, it was found that your problem is actually not serious, but I don't know why you can't wake up."

"The doctor came here with me the night he heard that you had an accident. Do you know what happened when the search and rescue team saw more than 20 unconscious elves lying on the edge of a creek... Everyone was frightened. Before I came, I joked and comforted the doctor, asking whether Luther would be the fastest player to embark on the trainer's road to the end of the trainer's road. I saw your head was bleeding, and a pile of bruises fell on the ground."

Luther smiled bitterly, and then remembered something.

"Where are the elves?"

"Oh, they were properly treated by the elf center. At first they showed some resistance, but with the help of Helujia, they became obedient. Four wild elves have chosen to follow the doctor after being taken care of."

"I guess, it can't be, Marsh King, Jackrabbit, Owl and Patch Leeds."

"how do you know?"

Luther smiled. He was very grateful to the four wild elves who saw things wrong. He didn't expect that Dr. Yamanashi's methods were so superb, but he brought the four elves into the research institute when he was in a coma.

He didn't even give Luther a mouthful of soup!
Luther smiled, fell silent, and asked after a while, "Where's the dream monster?"

Sachiko, who had been smiling sweetly, darkened her face: "I haven't woken up yet... She was checked just like you, and she was confirmed to be fine, but she was still in a coma... The doctor said that she was dreaming, and according to the equipment, she had a lot of emotional ups and downs in the dream, and it was a nightmare."

Can a dreamer be trapped by his dreams?

It sounds ridiculous, but Luther and the dream monster saw the deserted castle together, he didn't think it was ridiculous, he just felt inexplicably desolate.

This guy, who was forced to be homeless, went around and was hurt constantly. He didn't seem to have smiled since that girl, and finally left all his good things in a dream.

Luther struggled to get up, and Sachiko wanted to stop him, but seeing Luther's indomitable attitude, she took the initiative to help Luther. She is a person who knows how to read.

Luther, who was staggering on his feet, followed Sachiko's guidance and came to the intensive care unit of the Elf Center next door. Through the glass window of the intensive care unit, Luther could see that in the compartment of the intensive care unit, there were unknown lines plastered on the Dream Demon's body, and the spectrum displayed on the machine beside him fluctuated regularly and greatly.

The dream demon still frowned, looking pained.

Patting Luther's shoulders with both hands, a middle-aged man wearing a brown windbreaker, lined with an old-fashioned suit, and a face full of vicissitudes came to Luther's side.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Sachiko stepped forward to separate Luther and the middle-aged man.

"For this reason, it's hard to reveal the name, and for the code name, they all call me 'handsome guy'." The middle-aged man took out a document from his windbreaker pocket, and the badge and words displayed in the document showed that he was an international policeman.

Luther knew this identity, and even knew the "handsome guy".

The International Police is a kind of law enforcement agency in the elf world. They are assigned to many regions to investigate local evil organizations and their activities.In the setting known to Luther, the international policeman who has been active in the field of vision for a long time is the middle-aged man code-named "Handsome Guy" in front of him.

Luther didn't know why the international police came to him. Could it be that the original Luther had some bad deeds?
"Given the particularity of the question, can this lovely young lady avoid it for a while?" the handsome guy asked politely.

Sachiko knew what kind of complicated situation might have happened, so she left the intensive care unit very wisely.

After confirming that there was no one around, the handsome guy took out a gem fragment shining red, and put it in the palm of his hand for Luther to observe.

"I found this on the grass near the creek where you and the dream monster fought last night. Because the material is very special, Dr. Yamanashi contacted the Fairy Union, and the Fairy Union notified me who was nearby. I want to ask you if you have any impression of this gem."

Luther picked up the ruby ​​fragments, observed them carefully for a while, and nodded.

"Yes, this is the decoration on the dream monster when I saw it. When we finally stopped the dream monster from harming itself, it shattered."

The handsome guy had a serious expression on his face. He rubbed his chin and paced back and forth in front of Luther.

"Excuse me... what exactly is this gem? What does it have to do with the Dream Demon's madness?" Luther sensed the connection between the two and couldn't help asking.

The handsome guy stopped, raised his wrist, glanced at his watch, sighed, and said, "Time does not allow me to explain. Dr. Yamanashi will explain to you later. I can only tell you that you have done a remarkable thing, and the Dream Demon was saved because of you."

After finishing speaking, the handsome guy left in a hurry, leaving only Luther in a daze holding the charming gem fragment.

After sitting outside the intensive care unit for a long time, Sachiko took Dr. Yamanashi to sit next to Luther.

"Has Interpol been here?" Dr. Yamanashi asked.

Luther nodded.

"Guess what that gem is."

"A tool that can control the movement of elves?" Luther also thought about several possibilities while sitting dry, and he said the most likely one without hesitation.

Dr. Yamanashi picked up the gem shards in Luther's palm, then took out a handful of broken gem shards from his pocket, and spread them on Sachiko's palm.

Luther fiddled with a few of them, and suddenly found that there were traces of polishing and setting on the inside of several gem fragments. This dense striped circuit could not be naturally generated.

"Is there something in the gem?" Luther was a little surprised.

"Yes, they used gems as a cover to put in a machine that stimulates the nerves through electric waves to amplify the power of elves' skills." Dr. Yamanashi showed a disgusted expression on his face, "This is a forbidden research, because this increase will gradually make elves lose their reason and judgment as the elves use their skills more often, and finally become puppets that direct crazy attacks."

Luther's hand shaking the gem fragments trembled, he hurriedly endured the pain and stood up, lying on the glass of the intensive care unit and looking at the unconscious dream monster.

"Almost all conscientious researchers will not continue to study things, but some crazy people have completed them. They apply these props to underground elves fighting, gambling, and even field fighting. People who pursue ultimate power are very fanatical about this thing. Surveillance and arrests in various areas of the Elf Alliance made them disappear for many years. When everyone was about to forget about them, they appeared again."

Luther clenched his fists tightly, and the pain from his palms couldn't stop Luther from moving.

"I don't think it's too much."

Dr. Yamanashi sighed: "These dregs and scum are bred in the peaceful and tranquil environment of the elf world... For the total number of elves who love them, they are an extremely small number of people... But often this small group of people is the most harmful and harmful to the elves."

"Sometimes the sun doesn't reach every corner of the earth."

Luther sat on a chair with his head bowed.

The abandoned elves who followed the doctor piled up at the door of the intensive care unit, looking anxiously at the dream monster who was still unconscious in the intensive care unit.

"Will she wake up?" Luther asked softly.

Dr. Yamanashi shook his head: "I can't give an answer. At present, it seems that it is not whether she will wake up, but whether the dream monster is willing to wake up. She seems to have sealed herself in a dream. The instrument shows that it seems to be a nightmare, but she just doesn't want to wake up from the nightmare... Maybe that nightmare is sweeter than what she encountered later."

With permission, Luther pushed open the door of the intensive care unit, and the abandoned elves rushed in, lying around the dream monster's crib, expecting the dream monster to wake up with earnest eyes.
