"Well now it's time to look for where you're hiding..."
CHAPTER 21
I had left Toshiko and Naoki, but I knew they could handle it on their own.
I absolutely had to find this man, in this rather special world, he is the only one who can help me.
During the journey, I was able to do some research. Surprisingly, I had 4G on my phone.
Normally, he must live on this street or at least nearby. Using the GPS built into my smartphone, I was able to get to my desired destination.
"Look, it's crowded here!"
Would he be accompanied by bodyguards or even his girlfriend? I had to be careful and stay focused on this person's face.
I had been standing in the same place for half an hour, waiting. Just as I was getting desperate my wish came true.
"That's him!" I shouted in excitement.
I then ran to approach him.
"Sorry to bother you, but are you Nolan Cowleen?" I said with a trembling voice
Even though I had prepared my mind in advance, I still had this drop of sweat on my forehead. Sure, he was imposing, but what scared me the most was his reaction.
"Yes, it's me and you who are you to approach people without any embarrassment"
His deep voice and cold look gave him a lot of charisma.
"I'm one of your biggest fans!" What I said was totally wrong. I only followed one show of his. I was looking for something to do and I found his dream show.
His name is Nolan Cowleen, an internationally known mentalist. The only person I know who can help me.
"Even as a fan that doesn't give you the right to come and invade my privacy!"
I looked at him without answering.
He let out a breath, "Either way, you're just a creation of my subconscious. You don't really exist!" He said to me as he went on his way.
I was left speechless by what he knew to say. No, it wasn't what he said that caused me to have this reaction, but rather the message I just received.
[Notification Journal:
- Someone tried to put mental pressure on you.
- Your level of lucidity has increased to level 2, you are now able to manage your emotions
- Therefore the mental attack you experienced had no impact on you.]
I was now confident so I answered him
"I think you misunderstood the situation Mr. Cowleen..."
He turned around violently. I could feel the incomprehension in his face.
"How? Usually that sentence puts my interlocutor in a bad condition mentally!"
"I'll calm you down right away. First give me 5,000 Rubys and then I'll explain what's going on."
"Would be an alert to warn me that I'll meet an obstacle in my life"
Strange, that didn't calm him down... Normally he would think he was just in a dream read...
While I was thinking, I saw him conjure up a sword and he leapt at me.
Out of reflex, I pulled out the "Dawn Dragon Sword" to counter his blow.
"Oh, you look well trained" he said to me.
Am I dreaming or did he try to kill me?
"I see that you are not going to be easy to eliminate..."
"Huh?"
"It's Rubys you want, right ? Give me 5,000 Rubys and I'll prove to you that I know a lot more about what's going on than you think."
"Damn, he got me!"
