Chapter One Six Two: Touching Childhood(1/2)

Sheldon chatted with the mother bear for a while, and after learning about Neem's situation, he sighed helplessly. Because he had to find out the marked nightmare before he could remove the mark from the little bear's body.

"I am not an employee of the Dream Department now. It is my job to be the director of the Orc Management Department..."

If Sheldon wanted to help them, he would first have to work hard to find the marked Nightmare, and secondly, he would have to risk injury and use force to force the Nightmare to pull out the mark...

"I beg you, he is just a poor child, he should not have to endure so much suffering..." Neem's mother begged, her hands curled up into a ball, and her bear face wrinkled.

"I don't have the ability to help you solve your son's internal problems right now." Sheldon's words hit home. "I can't spend a whole day doing these things with you. In fact, these are more professional.

The matter should be left to the professionals at the dream department next door."

"But, they are unwilling to help us. This is what you just saw!" Mother Bear cried, "You are so kind, and it doesn't take much effort to help us..."

Sheldon waved his hand and looked at Merlin, who was looking at Merlin with a bad face. He didn't seem to like humans very much, even if there were humans who were giving them favors, the same was true.

He doesn't seem to have a very good influence on humans, and he's still a child...

This was the third time that Merlin's little hand tried to grab Neem, but the little bear glared and swatted it away. All he could do was say: Get out of here, you damn human being!

"I'm sorry, we really don't have the ability to help you," Sheldon refused, "I've already done my part."

The comprehensive affairs management consultant of the Dream Division is the second one, and Sheldon should not be the one to do this kind of thing.

"No! No..." Mother Bear rubbed her hands fiercely, her tone becoming more and more awkward, "If you don't help him, he will... he will die! I really beg you

Please..."

Sheldon frowned. Even if he was kind, he wouldn't be able to accept such a ridiculous request without any reward. If a beggar with nothing came to him for help with a child, he might just ignore it.

, let alone an orc. He has done all he can to be benevolent and righteous.

"Dad, maybe I can pull that thing out of his body." At this moment, Merlin raised his little hand, "But he kept pushing me, and I couldn't do it."

"Oh?" Sheldon's eyes flashed with brilliance, "How did you know you could do it?"

Merlin answered honestly: "The thorn on his head is so big that it should be able to be pulled out."

The little boy used his magic power, and naturally he could see everything about this little guy clearly. In Merlin's field of vision, a purple crystal rod about as thick as his finger was firmly inserted into the top of his head.

"I don't want you...I don't want humans..." He looked horrified, moving his butt back bit by bit, and kept mumbling, "Humans are all bad...

..”

Sheldon spread his hands and his eyes were full of surprise: "It is impossible for me to pull out the mark for your son, but since my son said it is possible, then I can let him try."

Mother Bear scolded sternly: "Near! We must seize this opportunity, you will die! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't!"

"I...I know..." Neem immediately surrendered, with reluctance written all over her face, and she moved her body little by little to Merlin's side.

In Merlin's mind, Merlin was telling Marquez the precautions for pulling out other nightmare marks.

"Destroying a mark is very simple. The difficult thing is how to pull the mark out." Merlin said, "Because the mark directly affects the soul of the host, if you destroy the mark directly with brute force, a piece of the soul will also be destroyed.

"

"So, all you need to do is pull this thing out with your hands?" Marquez asked innocently.

"Of course not!" Merlin said, "This is just an appearance. You must separate your mind and enter the edge of the other person's soul to remove the mark."

"Then you say it and I'll do it." Marquez was speechless.

"Let this ungrateful thing come over first! Let him close his eyes."

Merlin immediately pulled the vigilant bear-orc over, with an exaggerated smile on his lips: "Come here and close your eyes."

The other party glared at him fiercely, hummed softly, and closed his eyes.

This guy is really unruly...

"No matter what I do to you, don't even think about it." Merlin said while listening to Nightmare's words.

Sheldon watched with great interest as the little guy successfully removed the bear orc, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart. It seems that this is the nature of Nightmare. The little guy is not only smart, but also has a lot of skills. Of course,

He didn't quite believe that Merlin could really take out the mark. If so, he could even believe that Merlin helped him survive the two previous deaths.

Merlin's eyes lit up with a faint crystal blue light, and next, he wanted to sneak into the mind of the bear orc...

"Hold your hand over his heart and try your best to get into a small hole!" Merlin ordered.

The boy frowned, this kind of work is not easy to do...

The two of them saw the boy put his hand on Neem's chest. The little bear looked very unhappy, drooping his ears, and the temperature of his body gradually increased. He must be shy.

"This guy gets hot when he touches it. He is shameless!" Merlin shouted loudly in his mind for such indecent behavior. "He should be disciplined!"

"That's almost it..." Marquez was speechless. He was imagining his body getting into a small hole.

There was really a suction force pushing his body forward! He felt that his body was moving forward involuntarily!

Merlin opened his eyes, only to find that it was pitch black in front of him. He couldn't even see his own body clearly. Only the only light in front of him was attracting him to move forward!

This is where the soul of the bear-orc lies! Merlin felt like he was flying forward uncontrollably!

The beam of light in front of Merlin's eyes grew bigger and bigger, and the color in front of him quickly changed from misty white to vibrant bright green, and finally changed from one to two, splitting into two completely different beams of light!

The bright green light beam is full of vitality, and the off-white light bead branching off from the other one is relatively quiet.

Merlin took a special look at what this light pillar was. He only saw countless lights and shadows flashing rapidly inside, and could not see anything else clearly.

"There are traces of infection on this green pillar, and there are cracks on it." Merlin saw the strangeness on the pillar in advance and quickly reminded Marquez, "This is actually similar to the last time when the mark on the little girl was removed."

"In other words," Marquez used his mind to let himself float upward to find the source of the crack in the soul, "to find the crystal pillar inserted in the soul..."

"In addition, because the inferior species is quite powerful, it directly dragged the girl's consciousness into his dream world, so that scene occurred." Merlin added, "Generally speaking, this kind of situation is considered normal.

Most...well, as a nightmare, he would actually be reduced to helping others remove marks..."

Marquez complained: "I have to bear this hunger for the magic power inside the soul, okay."

"So I don't care..." Merlin chuckled.

"You are so shameless." Marquez had already seen a dark purple crystal pillar as thick as his thumb inserted above the soul crystal pillar. "That's it, right?"

"You now exist in the mental world of this little bear in an abstract way. It has no specific shape, so you have to imagine that you have hands first."

Imagine I have hands...Imagine I have hands...I have two hands...

As a result, Marquez only saw two hands that could be manipulated freely, and nothing else. This scene was horrifying.

"Don't worry about so much. It's good to be able to gather your strength and take action. Just pull out this damn thing and let's call it a day!" Merlin urged.

"..."

Marquez tried hard not to think that he only had two hands now, holding the crystal pillar and pulling it out bit by bit.

"Don't worry! The lighter you are, the harder it will be to pull out the thorn!"

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!" If Marquez had eyes now, he would have rolled his eyes four or five times.

The crystal pillar was cold to the touch, as if it would give frostbite to his fingertips. Marquez held back his courage, exerted force, and pulled out the spike from his soul with a roar.

The moment the thorn broke away from the soul light pillar, it was quickly eliminated from top to bottom, and not even fly ash was left. The cracks on the light pillar also healed quickly, becoming intact as before.

"I guess the other beam of light is his memory. Do you want to take a look?"

"Will he not be discovered? This is his inner world!" Marquez naturally thought.

"If you are discovered, you will be discovered. At most, you will be kicked out. Nothing will happen~" Merlin said with a smile, "Besides, you have done him such a big favor, why don't you charge a little fee?"

"Have you seen other people's memories?" Marquez manipulated his hand to touch the light beam of another color.

"I was in a deep sleep before. There is no need for advanced nightmares -"

Before the two of them could react, the consciousnesses of Merlin and Marquez were sucked into this beam of light! The size of the off-white light beam suddenly increased, and countless scenes were broken into translucent tents. Merlin's figure was actually here.

Reappear!

"Uh...!" The crazy flashing scenes made Merlin cover his eyes, and now he couldn't see anything clearly.

He felt like he was being tossed around wildly in a drum washing machine...

Merlin finally stopped, and the scene finally settled in a hot and humid forest.

"This is..." Merlin looked around. Just like the memory of the hostess who entered the magic item shop before, he couldn't touch anything, "Where did he originally live?"

All kinds of bear orcs are almost completely naked. Most of them only wear cloth pieces on their crotch and chest for cover. They are going about their daily production activities. Judging from their work, they should be relatively primitive hunters and gatherers.

living conditions.

This made Merlin even more curious, how did they get here...

The center of Merlin's sight was the bear orc lying on a simple straw bed, holding a soft swaddle in his hand. The little bear cub in the swaddle was of course the protagonist of this memory, there was no doubt about it.

Mother Bear lowered her eyes lovingly, carefully and carefully wiped her newborn baby bear, and said word by word: "Your name is, neem."

The scene when Neem was born ends here, and then switches to another scene.

There is a glowing stone altar. The material of the altar is very special, and it is covered with mysterious light green lines like a spider web. Looking carefully, Merlin can find that the foundation at the bottom of the altar is twisted and staggered from time to time.

It has moved one centimeter to the left perceptibly! It is as if the land itself has boundless vitality!

One after another, huge vines snaked up from the edge of the altar, wrapping the center of the altar like a bun. From time to time, strange rustling sounds came from inside.

"I hope it won't happen...but basically one or two 'unknown's will appear every time..."
To be continued...
