"Just say what you have to say."
"I had a dream..."
Volume 1: Chapter 160 Is Miss Nora finally getting her brain working?
"Do you remember the night I came to your house looking for you?" Nora hesitated for a long time before slowly beginning to speak.
But at that moment, Elise looked at her with a puzzled expression and said, "Has our relationship progressed to the point where you're coming to see me so late at night? How come I didn't know?"
"Don't interrupt!" Nora glared at Elise, and increased the pressure of her foot massage. Then Nora regretted it.
Elise looked at her with teary eyes, pouting, "It hurts, be gentle."
Even though she was a woman, she found it difficult to cope when faced with someone like Elise.
Nora turned her gaze to the side, and the pressure on her hand returned to the level that Elise found most comfortable: "In the dream I had, I didn't negotiate with you, but fought with you, and I even lost!"
As Nora spoke, she unconsciously increased the pressure on her hand, causing Elise, who was standing next to her, to roll her eyes.
She no longer knows whether she came here to enjoy herself or to suffer.
However, Nora's words made her realize that the other person must have also awakened some memories of their past life in some way.
"and then?"
"Then you didn't kill me, but ran away with me, and then the dream ended." Nora's expression became somewhat ferocious as she said this, as if she had just seen something crucial suddenly disappear.
A hint of doubt flashed in Elise's eyes. Logically speaking, if Nora had awakened her memories of her past life, the extent of her awakening should not be limited to this.
Whether it's Elena or Vivian, once they come into contact with her, their memories begin to resurface. She's never seen anyone like Nora who has only awakened a small part of her memories.
Have you had similar dreams since then?
Nora shook her head, then continued, "Although it didn't happen, that dream felt incredibly real, as if I had actually experienced it."
She looked up at Elise: "Have you ever had a similar dream? Or can you help me interpret what this dream means?"
Although dreams are an ethereal thing, they can be interpreted in many ways in this world, and there are even people who specialize in helping people with these kinds of problems, though they are relatively rare.
"Although I do know quite a lot, I really don't know much about dreams. Maybe this is just a dream."
"It's definitely not a simple dream!" Nora said, her voice rising uncontrollably for some reason.
She felt that this dream was very important to her, otherwise she wouldn't have specifically come to talk to Elise about it.
Seeing Nora's somewhat agitated state, Elise was also a little surprised; she hadn't expected Nora to be so emotional.
"If you think this isn't just a simple dream, then I can introduce you to someone who specializes in solving this kind of problem."
"What kind of talent?"
Have you ever heard of Dream Walkers?
Hearing this somewhat unfamiliar title, Nora frowned slightly, feeling as if she had heard it somewhere before.
“They are followers of dream beasts and can help people solve these problems. It just so happens that there are dream walkers on Antia’s side.”
"True≮△∨「寺潾ˉ俬叁♀'_陆蒐』⌒索[*�quN:的?"
"Of course it's true, but how will you repay me for such important information?"
Before, Iris hadn't even said what else she wanted me to do, and now she owed her another favor. Nora rolled her eyes and almost wanted to give herself to Iris.
If I give myself to Elise, will I never have to worry about owing favors again?
"Let's owe you this intelligence for now, and talk about our previous thanks."
Hearing Elise's words, Nora's expression also became serious. In her heart, she was now prepared to fight against a seventh-tier expert.
However, Elise said calmly, "Come with me to Antia tomorrow."
"what?"
"What's wrong? This request isn't unreasonable, is it? I haven't even asked you to pay for it."
This is certainly not excessive, it's even a bit too simple, so simple that Nora began to suspect that Elise might have other intentions.
Nora's intentions were too obvious; you could tell from her expression. Elise said somewhat helplessly, "Don't worry, if I really wanted to trick you, I would have done it already. I just happened to need a guard while I was shopping, so I thought I'd take you to find that Dream Walker."
"Ok."
Since she didn't seem to have anything to be taken advantage of, Nora simply gave up thinking about it.
"By the way, didn't you ask the person inside your body about that dream?"
“He said He couldn’t see what I was dreaming about, and even after I described the dream to Him, He said He didn’t know either.”
"Ok?"
〣〓児叄丝『鸠起傘司?.踆#
The Valkyrie residing in Nora's body has no authority over dreams, so it's normal that she doesn't know. However, the fact that she responds to Nora even to this makes her seem somewhat kind.
She remembered that in one of her past lives, Nora had told her that the Valkyrie was as cold as ice and would never utter a sound unless it was a special occasion.
"what happened?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to remind you that it's time to switch to the other leg."
"Oh."
Nora skillfully switched to the other foot and continued kneading, finding the smooth and soft texture quite relaxing.
After an unknown amount of time, just as Nora was about to ask if they were done, she found that Elise had already fallen asleep on the bed.
She subconsciously softened her movements, looking at Elise's sleeping face, and muttered in a voice only she could hear, "She's so carefree, isn't she afraid I'll sneak up on her?"
She knew this was a sign that Elise trusted her, but Nora was still a little confused. Her relationship with Elise could be described as that of mortal enemies. Even if they had established a cooperative relationship, it didn't seem like Elise should trust her so much.
And why has my hostility towards Elise decreased so much?
Just as Nora felt like she was growing a brain, she suddenly felt drowsy and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
But not long after, Nora slowly sat up again, her expression indifferent, until her gaze fell on Elise.
She gently reached out her hand, trembling slightly, and softly stroked Iris's face.
The delicate, smooth texture made her hands tremble involuntarily.
Nora simply sat quietly by the bed, gazing at the sleeping Elise, her eyes seemingly filled with countless unspoken words.
But in the end, all these words turned into a bitter smile and a sigh.
As the sigh subsided, Nora, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, lay back down and fell fast asleep, her outstretched hand remaining in place.
Volume 1: Chapter 161 She May Have Died Countless Times
"Wake up."
Nora, who was fast asleep, heard someone calling her name. She opened her blurry eyes and saw Elise's meaningful expression.
Nora instinctively wanted to rub her eyes, but found that her hand seemed to be on Elise's body, or more precisely, on Elise's chest.
Nora sensed that something was wrong and instantly regained her senses.
“I never expected that your wife would actually do that kind of thing to someone while they were sleeping.” Elise covered her chest with her hands, her face showing a defiled expression, which made Nora’s teeth ache.
Why are things like this?
She remembered that after seeing Elise fall asleep, she thought of laying her down, and then... then she felt very sleepy, so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyelids open, and then she just lay down and fell asleep next to Elise's bed.
Could this hand gesture have been an unconscious action while I was asleep?
Also, why is my body so sore? It feels like I've been through a major battle.
Just as Nora was deep in thought, Elise stretched out her leg and tapped Nora's arm with her toe: "Give me some reaction, this is the emotion I've been working so hard to cultivate."
Hearing Elise's words, Nora scratched her head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well, I probably accidentally moved my hand over to your side after I fell asleep."
"That's it?"
"Otherwise what?" Nora looked at Elise with puzzled eyes.
“Never mind.” Elise sighed, then moved to the bedside and said to Nora, “Help me put on my shoes, and I’ll forgive you.”
"Don't you have hands?" Nora muttered, but still skillfully helped Elise put on her shoes and socks.
As Nora left the room with Elise, she didn't forget to ask the person inside her: "Do you know what happened after I fell asleep? My body feels so sore."
"I don't know." A clear voice rang in Nora's ears without the slightest hesitation.
Nora scratched her head, not paying too much attention to it. She figured it was probably just her sleeping position that was the problem. Anyway, this level of soreness would be completely gone after a good night's sleep.
When Elise left the room, it was already evening.
In the lower levels of Antia, the lighting gradually dims as the sky darkens before switching on special nighttime lighting, making it easy to distinguish between day and night.
Elena and Isabella had already returned by this time.
Elena looked the same as before, no different from when she left home, but Isabella looked much more disheveled.
In one afternoon, Elena won ten consecutive victories in the shortest amount of time, earning the badge to go to the third level of the arena. She plans to try her luck on the third level tomorrow.
As for Isabella, she experienced more than a dozen battles in one afternoon, with both wins and losses.
Because Elena is there to take care of her, even if she loses, her injuries can be healed immediately, and she can be brought back into the game.
After more than a dozen battles, even though she was able to recover from her injuries, Isabella was exhausted, but her eyes were still full of motivation.
After listening to Elena's report, Elise ruffled Isabella's hair and said, "Get some rest early tonight and recharge for tomorrow."
“Yes, Miss.” Isabella looked at Iris with a somewhat fanatical gaze.
Although Elise did not use charm on her, but only gave her a certain degree of psychological suggestion, Isabella herself greatly admired Elise, so things turned out the way they are now.
Elise felt that she would eventually become a second-generation maid.
……
night.
After dinner, Elena did not choose to explore Antia at night, but instead went back to her room early to take a shower and go to bed.
She shielded herself on the bed, and the moment she closed her eyes, she was already in the burning church.
In the dream, Elena didn't attack her directly this time, but simply said to Elena, "You seem to have some questions that you need me to answer."
“I suddenly remembered a memory today, a memory of Iris collapsing along with Antia. Did she escape in some way?” Elena stared intently at her other self.
“Antia? I don’t remember coming to Antia with her.”
Upon hearing this, Elena's pupils dilated noticeably. She recalled it again, and it was indeed a memory; everything was so clear and real, as if she had experienced it herself.
If this isn't a memory from my own dream, then whose memory is it?
Could it be that Si... has another self?
"It seems you've discovered something."
"Just tell me what you know, don't keep me in suspense!"
Si said, "I only started having these memories after she died. They always float into my mind, memories that belong to me but don't belong to me, just like you have my memories."
宭栮?究零傘巴齐衣_鏾〨
"Remember what I told you? Elise's death might not be the result of you altering her memories. Perhaps such a thing really did happen in a parallel world."
"So, Elise might have died countless times?"
"It might not be just that." In the dream, Elena looked at herself with lifeless eyes, then forced a smile. "You'll figure out the specifics yourself."
"I don't think I'm the type to keep things mysterious."
In the dream, Elena held a broken sword and pointed it at herself: "It's better to digest some things slowly. Accepting too much at once can easily overwhelm you."
As soon as the words were spoken, all the traps that had been placed around Elena were triggered, and the huge explosion blasted Elena into pieces.
The battle between Elena and Elena has officially begun.
……
"Just a little bit more!" Elena suddenly opened her eyes, clenching her fists with gritted teeth.
She almost chopped off her other self's hand, but she was too slow; her own head fell off first.
It doesn't matter, though. Soon, very soon she'll be able to harm her. But that's not the point. Right now, she only cares about improving her own strength and preventing her employer from dying young and cutting off her source of income.
Elena took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then got up and left the room.
