Chapter 257 Export of Oil Paintings
Within Raphael's body, there is not only the "original" will, but also the spiritual remnants of "God" and "Celestial Venerable" serving as a deterrent.
Raphael felt that the current situation did not warrant the intervention of "Initial", but he had another idea that needed to be verified.
So, while I was taking a nap, I went to find the spiritual remnants of "God" and "Celestial Venerable" and had a friendly exchange with them.
Their spiritual remnants are different from the "original" ones. Although everyone gets along very well now, we may become enemies with them or seal them away at some point.
Asking them for help is not very realistic, after all, they are also full of bad intentions, and they might suddenly do something bad while helping.
But using them as advisors is still fine.
After chatting for a while, Raphael confirmed his guess: the exit of this painting was in a deeper part of this dream.
Raphael said to Audrey, "I was just thinking that once you enter this dream, you can't get out, and it's so dangerous. So why didn't the spirit give us any warnings when we entered? And why did it guide us into this red wood?"
Audrey recalled that before entering the door, Raphael had given her time to use her spiritual senses, and she indeed felt that entering the door was the right thing to do.
Looking back now, it may have been because of a spiritual perception that the door to the outside was inside.
Seeing Audrey's expression, Raphael knew that she understood his meaning.
Then he said, "Now we need to discuss how to enter deeper levels of dreams."
Audrey immediately thought of, "That red wooden door!"
"That's right." Raphael smiled and said, "That door is the passage to a deeper level of dreams, so the power inside is not preventing us from escaping, but preventing us from entering a deeper level."
"The scene inside the wooden door was exactly the same as the scene in the second layer of the dream, except that the woman's shadow on the throne was more solid."
"That must be the third layer of the dream!"
Audrey took a deep breath: "Raphael, thank you again for coming to help me! I never expected this."
The exit was hidden in such a place that it might take her a year or two to find it on her own.
"Don't thank me yet," Raphael said. "We don't know which layer of the dream the exit is in, and how to enter deeper layers of the dream is also a problem."
Audrey pondered for a moment: "In a little while, I can use my abilities to try and deceive the next layer of the dream."
The female silhouette is an aggregate of consciousness from the next layer of the dream. Essentially, trying to deceive this silhouette is tantamount to deceiving the entire dream layer. This is not a task that can be accomplished at Sequence 5.
But Audrey came up with a clever trick: instead of deceiving the entire dream layer, she would deceive the space around her and Raphael.
Space and time are two elements that are difficult to modify in the real world, but it is different in dreams. Audrey's ability allows her to modify at least a small part of space.
Raphael thought for a moment and said, "The deeper the dream, the more solid the woman's figure may be, and the sharper her attacks may be."
Audrey hummed in agreement.
Raphael continued, "I have three abilities that can deal with attacks from the third, fourth, and fifth layers."
"In other words, we might only be able to enter the sixth layer of the dream at most. I wonder if that's enough?"
Audrey replied, "It might be possible to reach the seventh floor!"
Raphael was taken aback, then immediately understood: "You mean, we're currently in the second layer of the dream?"
The opera house outside is the first floor, and this is most likely the second floor.
Audrey nodded. Although she had the ability to perceive dreams, dreams might have subtly influenced her "mental body," making her unaware of which layer of the dream she was in.
"The seventh floor should be about right," Raphael said. "Let's try it first, and if it doesn't work, we'll think of another way."
After a brief preparation, Audrey led Raphael into the next level of the dream, where the female silhouette and the red wooden door reappeared.
Audrey used her extraordinary abilities to the fullest, creating a dream within a dream within this layer, and the two figures then disappeared, like a high-level form of invisibility.
The female figure on the throne clearly sensed the changes in this dream, but she did not act immediately, because her attacks would be distorted and altered in this area.
At this moment, Audrey was struggling to take a step forward. Maintaining a dream within a dream was already her limit, and this dream within a dream now required her to be in motion. This was somewhat beyond her capabilities.
Seeing this, Raphael picked Audrey up and took her wrist, offering her more spirituality.
Audrey was about to ask Raphael to put her down, but then she realized that Raphael had been a great help in providing her with spiritual support, so she let Raphael carry her forward.
They quickly arrived at the red wooden door, opened it, and successfully entered the fourth level of the dream. Then the red wooden door closed by itself.
The female shadows here are indeed more solid, and as soon as you enter the main hall, you can feel that same chilling sense of fear as before.
Raphael put Audrey down and looked again at the closed wooden door behind them.
Since this is still the only door in the main hall, it is clear that one must enter the next level of the dream from here.
As soon as the two had the idea of entering the next level of the dream, the female shadow attacked immediately. Invisible ripples spread out from her, trying to pull Raphael and Audrey into a deep sleep.
Raphael stood in front of Audrey, "Attack Reflected!"
He had noticed before that his two "combination techniques" were at a very high level. He hadn't used them in actual combat, so he didn't know exactly how high they were, but they were definitely higher than Sequence 5.
Those invisible ripples were indeed reflected back by Raphael.
Raphael breathed a sigh of relief. It really worked!
As Audrey opened the red wooden door, she wondered what kind of ability Raphael had just used. It felt quite unfamiliar.
The two opened the door and entered, successfully reaching the fifth level of the dream. On this level, the female figure could be clearly seen; she had a pair of deep, dark eyes and appeared quite beautiful. However, she seemed to be wearing a black veil, obscuring her features.
The deeper the dream, the sharper the attack becomes; it can also be seen as the female shadow's abilities becoming stronger.
Upon entering the fifth level, Raphael and Audrey did not feel fear, but their spiritual sense of danger intensified, as if they could disappear from this world at any moment.
Raphael quickly raised the cross hanging around his neck, the seal Adam had given him, and he knew very well that Adam had left his breath or mark on it.
