rps+Tomie] NOT+REAL?

When he followed Jie...Mr Bower to the gate that seemed empty behind him, Toby suddenly had the strange thought of being abducted by bad boys and taken to the wilderness.

But after entering the door, it is a completely different scene - the Gothic vault of the hall hangs high, supporting a sacred and noble momentum, the staircase is painted and decorated with murals, all are so exquisite, as if going back several centuries; The door that slammed shut clicked and several mechanical locks were automatically locked, which suddenly added a fantasy color.

"It may not be as good as Hogwarts, but it's really good..."

Toby didn't know why he felt so emotional, but when someone dismissed it "as if you had been there", he didn't know what to do in his heart, and he was a little unconvinced.

I don't know how long it took, and I don't know if it was because I was distracted again, as if out of thin air, there were two more people in front of me - a man and a woman, they were the two he had seen in that strangely named club.

His intuition told him that the boy was not bad, but he had an inexplicable hostility towards him, as if he was trying to win the love of others.Sure enough, he was a little sour when he opened his mouth.

Toby's somewhat confused thinking made him unable to figure out where and why this resentment came from for a moment; fortunately, the girl on the side was quite reasonable.

He followed the people around him almost at the same pace, and saw the director of the Institute in a huge library; he felt that his state was very bad, and his consciousness was gradually peeling off—maybe he was injured somewhere—in short, he It was completely impossible to concentrate on the conversation between the two on the side.

Suddenly, he thought of the unlucky girl before, she had red hair similar to his own... Oh, she seemed to have thrown himself a card.

Unexpectedly, Toby took out the card. Until then, he had the opportunity to look at this mysterious card carefully——it looked like a tarot card or other such magical props, with the words It is a golden cup, which seems to be some special props.

There must be something unusual?

He lowered his head and stared at the card for a long time, maybe it is indeed a bit unusual?The golden cup became three-dimensional in his eyes, as if he could grab it with his hand and take it out of the paper.

He wasn't sure if he really reached out to take it, but he definitely didn't take it out—it was just a hallucination—imagining that half of the cup was detached from the paper, he lost control of his body, and the sight in front of him black.

That feeling was like being submerged in the deep sea, as if a voice came from afar, invading his mind, with noise and echo.

First there was a bang, as if something had been knocked open.

Then came a female voice, "What's the matter, are you all right, we heard a noise inside".

Then came "This kid fainted? Was bitten by a demon?", with gloating and a little bit of dissatisfaction in his tone, "A mundane was bitten by a demon, tsk tsk tsk..."

"Maybe try engraving runes on him, he can see you...maybe..."

"I hurt my foot, I didn't pay attention for a while..." With a magnetic bass and clear and crisp bite, this charming voice is familiar to him, but he is a little eager, "No, I can't take this risk, even if he has a 99% chance Not mundane, and I think the odds are the other way around...we need to get Magnus!"

"...It would be very interesting to try the runes. If it doesn't work, it will save you a lot of trouble. Doesn't it mean that he can see you..."

Another strange voice came in, solemn and serious, "No, Jace is right, we can't take this risk, I'm afraid we need Magnus' help." An eagerness of hope.

"Magnus wouldn't make a trip just for a strange and useless mundane..."

"I'll take him there!" The familiar voice sounded again, this time with a final word, very reassuring.

Then he felt as if he was floating up—or was being lifted up by something, and then more noise and noise confused his consciousness, and he only vaguely caught one sentence:

"...Boy, you should thank yourself for being cautious, he is undoubtedly a mundane...You two souls are bound together by an unknown and powerful force for some reason...If he dies, you will die too..."

I don't know how long the complete darkness and silence lasted until a bright gap was opened by the ethereal sound of the piano.

When Toby woke up, there was no one around, everything from the mattress to the building was white.

Hospital?So everything just now was just a bizarre dream?That's really frustrating...

Wait, the correct response, shouldn't it be a blessing?

He sat up and found that he didn't feel uncomfortable except that he was still a little tired, so he simply got up and got out of bed.

It took him a while before he figured out that this place should still be part of that Institute.

Knowing this, Toby breathed a sigh of relief.

The sound of the piano that woke him up continued, and he followed the sound...
