"Do you think I will compromise with you?"

Putting away the last trace of anger, Edward pretended to be calm and asked.

Alice doesn't know the adults' plan, let alone the consequences of dying in this nightmare.

He can take this opportunity to make the other party think that there will be no price to pay for dying in a dream.

If he told Alice everything he knew, he could continue to live in the dream.

But if the adults discover that he not only failed to kill the target, but also leaked the secret of the nightmare, this would be tantamount to betraying the adults.

Can Alice protect him from being killed by adults? The answer is obvious.

To find a backer, you need to find a strong backer. Edward has understood this since he was a child.

Just delay it a little longer.

Maybe the adults will come to save him——

Nodding with a serious expression, Alice responded: "I think you will definitely compromise."

She looked into the boy's eyes, and Edward subconsciously wanted to avoid her gaze.

But he didn't do that.

In order not to reveal any flaws, he looked directly into the eyes of the blond girl, but his heart skipped a beat...

Alice will never know the secret of dreams, so there is no need to be so afraid.

Edward comforted himself in his mind.

"Oh? Even if I'm afraid of death, it won't matter if I die in my dream."

He stared at the wizard girl, his whole body secretly tense...

"You can kill me. But if you kill me, you will alert the Lord of Dreams, and he will never let you go!"

Edward sneered, his face looking like the sky before a rainstorm, gloomy and terrifying:

"As long as you die in your dream, you will no longer be able to save others. Even so - you still want to kill me?"

Hearing what he said, Alice seemed to be deep in thought and lowered her eyes without speaking.

She hesitated!

Edward cheered in his heart and continued to confuse the audience:

"If you don't kill me, the Lord of Dreams will definitely not target you - you still have a chance to save others..."

"What are you going to do?"

Alice nodded slightly and looked at the straight-backed boy in front of her: "It sounds reasonable."

Trying his best to suppress the joy in his heart, Edward pretended to be gloomy.

"If you don't kill me, I won't be grateful to you."

Alice loosened her grip on the other person's shoulder and shook her head slightly, "I don't need you to be grateful to me, I never have."

The young man was stunned for a moment, what does this mean?

"Do you think the Lord of Dreams will come to save you if you delay?"

Alice raised her hand and yawned, her tone lazily.

There was a thud in her heart, and Alice knew that he was stalling for time...

The boy's face turned pale.

"You are Mondrikin's subordinate. You should have heard about Professor Magic Stone."

Alice looked at Edward with a calm expression:

"Professor Demonic Stone did not wait for his master before he died."

"Similarly, as a chess piece, do you still want to be saved by the villain?"

These words fell like a thunder in the young man's heart.

Edward's eyes were dull.

He had heard of Professor Magic Stone, but he didn't expect that Professor Magic Stone's death was actually related to Alice...

Your Excellency did not save Professor Stone. Professor Stone’s death was not accidental at all——

His heart was completely confused——

Alice tilted her head and looked at the other person, her clear eyes untainted by dust, as if she could see through people's hearts.

"I know you're lying."

"Those who do not know that they are dreaming will never wake up after they die."

At this point, she paused, put a finger to her lips, and lowered her voice:

"I also know - I know that dying in a dream will leave serious sequelae."

Edward's heart seemed to be shrouded in despair.

Not a trace of light can be seen.

"You-how do you know this?!"

His voice was frightened and hoarse, and he choked and coughed suddenly because he spoke too quickly.

Can Alice read minds?

What should he do...

The blonde girl smiled and blinked her amber eyes, which seemed to be shining:

"Your expression told me that I was just fishing and took the bait."

She made a look of realization:

"Oh - it turns out that dying in a dream will really have sequelae!"
