Chapter 66 - Walking through the Dreams
The car was headed towards the signal that was last came.
Mr. Bruno blinked towards Ruan through the front mirror at Ruan, as she was trying to bond with her. Lee knew there was a special relationship with Mr. Bruno and Ruan, it was more like a father taking care of her child.
"Mr. Bruno, are we heading towards the signal, can you tell how long it will take?" I asked Mr. Bruno while looking at the streets.
"It depends on the traffic, this time of the day, we mighty reach there by 19:00."
"Hope fully, Dr. Lily will be alright."
Mr. Bruno raised an eye brow as he looked at me through the mirror, trying to hide his own nervousness. He has special admiration for both these kids Ruan Thiaun and Dr. Lily. She had a daughter, she would be probably the age of Rian or Dr. Lily by this time. She has lost her own daughter, Naomi. These men of brotherhood had showed her no mercy. He knows the pain of losing. He has to hurry and save the girl. He cannot afford to lose Dr. Lily.
Lee, looked outside it was like the city seemed to attract him with its dazzling beauty. Mr. Bruno looked at Lee and Ruan, "you two better take some rest while I drive, a good nap will help you to ease the journey."
The guy was old but had some hidden sorrow in him, Lee could really look it in his eyes. Cynthia brought some lunch that was heavy Lee must say but they were very tasty indeed.
While Ruan took a nap, Lee can also probably take a nap for a bit after all it will help to ease the tension a bit down.
Lee closed his eyes, while Cynthia gave me an airphone which was playing some country music.

"Where am I? Is it another dimension? I could not feel my existence but I could feel everything around me as I could see reality as a spectator in front of a television."
The world looked bit different. Tonight, the city was swallowed by the mist.
Dark towers stretched high into an endless sky, their jagged shapes silhouetted against the cold glow of an unseen world that I could barely knew.
"Am I still dreaming or having a real life experience or did I jumped into another dimension?"
Well perhaps its dream because Lee could not find myself in this. Looks strange!
The air was wrong. Heavy. Charged. Like the world was waiting for me to see her beauty.
Lee could hardly recognize this place it's looks somewhere in China.
A familiar voice approaches my ear, " Hello, Soul hunter. Welcome back. We meet again."
The part of me that seems to froze for a bit! Not the instinct of a normal man but more like the instinct of a hunter.
" Hello, where am I?" – Lee asked the Draconian, I seem to recognize their familiar meeting.
"Well mankind, we have brought your mind here but left the physical existence to the year 2030."
"Where am I?"
"Well, this is time loop. You need to understand your role and we had high hopes for you, like the dimension in 1832 you were strong, powerful and was a true hunter but in 2030 you have forgotten your role and grown soften. It will be difficult for you and others that are depending on you."- Draconian replied at Lee.
"You are mean to say, I have speared the killing part?"- Lee questioned Draconian. As he had no intension to kill any men without knowing their crimes.
"That is why you need to understand the truth, you are a soul hunter, use your skills and strength to kill the demonic souls, we have told you these are the monsters in the disguise of human. You must kill them and collect their soul." - Draconian replied.
Lee was bit hesitant with Draconian. He could not clearly understand what was they trying to tell me. It was like they want to make Lee a killing machine.
"Man kind, we have made a greatest gift to the mankind! Soul hunter is not randomly chosen. Don't underestimate your power. Don't match your skills, strength and powers with normal human being. Seeing is not believing my boy. You will not be killed this easy. But, remember soul hunter, you have a choice. Your choice is to kill the demonic soul to save the good ones. Or avoid the taking the demonic souls and let the destruction continue."
Looks like the Draconian are trying to tell me to be hard on the bad people again. So, I asked, "But, how can I confirm they are good or bad?"
"Eyes."
Lee was a bit hesitant with the answer from Draconian. "With eyes, what do you mean?"
"You have special power, you feel the good soul through your eyes, but the bad one are not easy to identify. They are many hidden layers in them."- Draconian answered.
"That is why I could understand the pure soul like Amina, Dr. Lily and Ruan. Even though I don't like Mr. Bruno that much, but he has sadness in his eyes, and I can tell he has a pure heart."- Lee replied at Draconian.
"Yes, that is why we want to help you with the vision you had defeating Anwar Zuad and Hakim Al Tawa. We will also help you in walking through the dreams which are actual moments that exist in the timeline. Go ahead soul hunter. All the best!"
Lee saw a barely visible door through the air, although Lee did not had any body but more like he was floating in the loop of time. It's more like a walk in the dreams!
He could hear her pulse in his ears. As Lee was watching the life of someone.
There was figure in the distance stood by, barely visible by the fog. Not moving, just watching.
Like the person was waiting for someone. The shape of the person looked familiar, too familiar.
Liquid darkness, pooling and reshaping, flickering in and out of existence as if the time line was creating by someone to make a visible world for me to understand.
The air was thickening as Lee was moving towards the person, not with fog, not with heat but something else.
