Chapter 618 Catherine's Dreamland
John also tried to mold the light ball into other shapes. When he wanted to turn it into a cube, the light ball immediately broke up and reorganized as he wished, becoming a cube with clear edges and corners.
Just as John was about to further study this wonderful cube of light and explore whether it had other properties, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, followed by a "dong dong dong" knock on the door.
"Please come in."
John withdrew his thoughts, and the ball of light turned into tiny points of light as he waved his hand, dissipating into the air like fireflies.
Before the door was opened, the last trace of light disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
Wesker walked in with a brisk pace.
"Your Majesty, our intelligence department has recently discovered some strange things. People in various provinces across the country and even in neighboring foreign countries have discovered the same supernatural phenomenon."
Wesker bowed slightly and reported in a low but clear voice.
"tell me the story."
John leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Yes, Your Majesty. According to our survey, the vast majority of respondents claim to see a river of light in the sky at night. Residents near St. John's City have witnessed a huge beam of light shooting out from St. John's Cathedral and rushing into the sky."
Wesker paused here, frowned slightly, and continued:
"Even someone within our intelligence department has observed this phenomenon, so the authenticity of this matter is guaranteed."
“How many people have witnessed this phenomenon so far?”
John sat up slightly straighter, his eyes becoming serious.
He speculated that these people who could observe visions were likely to have the potential to use magic. This might be an important discovery for Helderlan, as it concerns the country's future magical development and potential power.
"Currently, the summaries from the provincial intelligence departments have been viewed by at least 10,000 people. Considering the constant flow of new reports, this number is expected to increase."
"Continue to monitor this incident and observe these individuals for any abnormalities."
John gave the order.
Afterwards, after chatting with Wesker about some of the latest domestic and international intelligence, Wesker saluted and left John's office.
After Wesker left, Catherine came to John excitedly with a handbag.
She was wearing a college uniform and had a ponytail, her face full of youthful energy and excitement.
"Dad, I'm back from school."
John stood up, touched her head, and said gently:
"How is it? Are you getting used to school life?"
"Well, I made a lot of new friends!"
Katherine answered happily, her eyes sparkling as she excitedly shared bits and pieces of her school life.
As a princess of the country, Catherine hired a teacher for one-on-one lessons for the first six years, and then took the college entrance examination.
However, the major that Catherine chose was different from that of other girls of the same age. In an environment where girls tended to major in liberal arts, Catherine went against the current and applied for the Helmingen Institute of Technology, and chose the hard-core major of artillery manufacturing. It can only be said that she inherited Matilda's hobby of using muskets.
As a local student, Catherine usually chose to live back in the palace, unless it was some experimental courses, then she would stay in the college dormitory.
She put her handbag aside and excitedly shared the latest news at school with John.
"I'm going to write a lab report!"
After chatting with John for a while, Catherine picked up her bag and left the office.
Looking at Catherine's departing back, John couldn't help but sigh. The children have grown up and are no longer as clingy to him as before.
There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure.
"Looks like I need to find some time to bring my parents over to see them."
John muttered to himself.
Catherine jogged all the way through several corridors and arrived at her dormitory.
The dormitory was not very big. Besides a large velvet bed, it also had some standard student items such as a desk, chair, and bookshelf.
The room is decorated simply and warmly. The bookshelves are filled with various books, and the desk is filled with some learning supplies and experimental equipment.
Catherine took out a piece of paper with various experimental data written on it from her bag, then took out a blank experiment report form from the college and placed it on the table, then sat down and began to write the experiment report.
"Done!"
Two hours later, looking at the lab report with dense handwriting and various hand-drawn three-view drawings in front of her, Catherine shook her numb hands, put the lab report into her handbag, and opened the window with nothing to do.
It was already night outside, and the sky was filled with lights from thousands of houses, especially the main street, which was brightly lit. The nightlife of Helmingen had just begun.
But Catherine was not looking at this scenery. Instead, she looked up at the sky. The river of light in the dark night was truly shocking.
She had observed this phenomenon in the dormitory on the night of her first day of school, but her roommates said they couldn't see it no matter how she pointed it out.
Then Catherine guessed that she might have entered the plot of a magical girl.
Nowadays, various types of literature are on the rise in Helderland, and novels of various themes can be found in bookstores. Magical girl themes, as an emerging literature, are very popular among girls.
Catherine even asked Pros, the Archbishop of Helderland and the chief judge of the Inquisition, whether such content would be considered as promoting witchcraft and be burned at the stake.
"Am I that cruel? As long as it complies with Heldran law, you can look at any magical girl you want."
After getting Uncle Pros's consent, Catherine also became a fan of books about magical girls. At the same time, after witnessing this supernatural event, Catherine increasingly felt that she would be like the magical girl in the future and gain the ability to use magic in a sudden event.
"Ha~"
Catherine yawned and looked at the clock. It was already ten o'clock in the evening. When it came to this time, Catherine would immediately feel sleepy no matter how energetic she was before.
She closed the window, extinguished the candle, and then lay down on her bed and fell asleep.
"Ok?"
After a while, Catherine suddenly felt something was wrong with her. In the past, she would have fallen into a deep sleep by this time, but now she was still unconscious.
She opened her eyes and found that she was a little close to the ceiling.
"its not right."
Catherine looked down and found herself suspended in mid-air, with another herself covered with a quilt on the bed.
It wasn't that I was closer to the ceiling, but that my soul had left my body!
"Eh? What's going on?"
Catherine opened her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of confusion and fear, and her voice trembled slightly.
"What's going on? How could I..."
She tried to control her body and wanted to go back to the bed, but found that she could not move at all, as if she was bound by an invisible force.
Just when Catherine didn't understand what was happening, suddenly a huge suction force pulled her towards the window. No matter how hard Catherine struggled, she couldn't get rid of it. She waved her arms desperately, trying to grab something to stop herself.
Seeing that she was about to hit the window, Catherine immediately raised her hand to block it. The next second, she passed through the window and came out of the palace.
At this moment, she was floating in the air outside the palace, running upwards.
Below her, the buildings became smaller and smaller, and as Catherine looked up, the light in the sky became clearer and clearer.
The light was like a rushing river, winding and swirling in the night sky.
After Catherine rose to the river of light, she stopped rising. The river of light pushed her in one direction. Catherine left the outer wall of the palace, left the outer wall of Helmingen, and came to the vicinity of St. John's City. Then she saw the huge beam of light.
The pillar of light towered into the clouds, shining brightly, as if it was a bridge connecting heaven and earth, emitting a powerful and mysterious force.
She came to the front of the light column and found that the wall of the light column was fluid. Countless light spots floated upwards into the sky. Catherine wanted to touch the wall with her hand, but found that her hand went straight through the wall.
Catherine followed her body through the wall of light column, but suddenly she felt her feet were empty and her body fell down. It turned out that the inside of the light column was hollow, like an abyss emitting white light.
At this critical moment, countless bright spots suddenly emerged around the wall of light column. They gathered under Catherine, forming something like a floating carpet, carrying Catherine rapidly into the sky.
Catherine held tightly to the edge of the flying carpet, her eyes full of fear and curiosity. She didn't know where she would be taken, nor what would be waiting for her.
After a flash of dazzling white light, her consciousness was quickly submerged like a tide, and she seemed to fall into endless nothingness.
After a while, the invisible feeling of oppression gradually dissipated and her vision gradually returned to clarity.
Then she found herself lying quietly on a body of water. The water was vast, clear and transparent. Above her was a clear blue sky with white clouds. The sunlight shone gently, dyeing the whole world with a warm golden color.
What surprised her was that the water did not make her wet, but gently wrapped around her body, as if a pair of invisible hands, holding her steadily and allowing her to float steadily on the water.
She tried to move her fingers, and the water obediently followed her movements, creating tiny ripples, but not even wetting the corners of her clothes.
At this moment, many little people made of light suddenly appeared around Catherine.
They were only half the height of Catherine's body, and their bodies emitted a soft and warm light, like little dancing flames.
At this moment, they swarmed over, surrounded Catherine, and looked at her curiously.
When Catherine carefully touched their bodies, she felt warmth in her palms. The warmth was like the spring sunshine, gently penetrating into her skin, instantly dissipating a lot of her tension caused by the unknown.
After Catherine was safely floated up, she was about to open her mouth to thank them when she saw these little light people running happily in one direction as if they had received some kind of instructions.
The few little light people at the back were holding her tightly and waving to her happily, as if inviting her to go with them.
"Do you want me to go with you?"
Catherine asked curiously, and then she was pulled by the little light man to continue running forward. Although she was on the water, Catherine felt as easy and comfortable as running on flat ground. The only difference was that with every step she took, circles of ripples would magically appear on the water surface, slowly spreading out in all directions like a blooming flower.
Catherine followed the little light man all the way. The water surface under her feet was rippling with layers of light, sparkling with tiny rays of light under the sunlight.
Finally, these little light people stopped, gathered together, and pointed in one direction with their hands.
Catherine looked in the direction and saw a ball of light floating in the air.
The ball of light emitted a soft and bright light, like a huge, warm sun, but without the slightest burning sensation.
It slowly rotated in the air, and the air around it seemed to be purified by its light, becoming fresh and pure.
She came to the light ball surrounded by little light people. The closer she got to it, the warmer Catherine felt in her heart. The bad emotions that usually accumulated in her heart, such as anxiety, uneasiness, and confusion, also disappeared little by little, as if they were absorbed and dissolved by the light of the light ball.
Then she saw a little light man come forward, carefully stretch out his little hand and place it on the light ball. The moment the little hand touched the light ball, the light ball flickered slightly, as if responding to the little light man's touch.
Catherine also imitated it and slowly placed her hand on the ball of light. In an instant, the ball of light burst out with dazzling light. The light was like a surging wave, instantly enveloping Catherine.
Catherine felt her consciousness gradually becoming blurred, as if being pulled by a powerful force, slowly falling into darkness.
Catherine slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying in her familiar bed. The soft mattress fit her body perfectly and the sheets exuded a faint fragrance.
She looked out the window and found that it was already dawn. The golden sunlight shone into the room through the gaps in the window, forming bright rays of light.
"Is it a dream?"
Catherine rubbed her eyes, and the things in her dream kept appearing vividly in her mind. Those little light people, the mysterious waters, and the shining light balls all seemed to have happened in real life, making it difficult for her to distinguish them for a moment.
She shook her head, trying to make herself more awake. It seemed that the previous experiences were just a dream.
She walked to the sink with a sleepy look on her face, turned on the faucet, and the sound of cool running water instantly rang out.
She was just about to reach for the toothbrush when she vaguely felt something appear in her hand.
She opened her slightly closed eyes, and then the scene before her swept away her previous sleepiness. The toothbrush that she had just used to brush her teeth appeared on her outstretched palm, and there was a ball of soft light surrounding her palm.
