The Spirit World

Chapter 83: Rogue Senior Brother?

"Come back! Meng'an Tapir!" He Chao shouted, green spiritual power wrapped around his whole body. The young man in white jumped in front of Meng'an Tapir and struck it with a claw. Meng'an Tapir jumped out and dodged it, but it bounced back when it hit the gray pillar of the birdcage, making a loud grunting sound.

The Meng'an tapir looked ahead with extremely terrified eyes. A green passage opened up. It dragged its small body and jumped, disappearing into Lin'er's dream world.

"keae" The appearance of the young man in white has completely changed. The last time he appeared on the white thin curtain was with purple-blue skin all over, an expressionless face, and a pair of angry eyes. He had just recovered from the heavy blow, and lowered his head, staring at the hole in horror, just like staring at everyone outside the white thin curtain.

"So, if this is not the Nightmare Curse, then what is it?" The old doctor stroked the frightened Meng An Tapir. She looked at He Chao and asked in a very kind voice: "I have never seen such a thing before. In a person's dream, the dream owner is imprisoned. This is very similar to the Nightmare Curse, or it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a more powerful Nightmare Curse..."

"And there are two contradictory individuals, one seems to want to save the child from the prisoner..." The chief steward looked at the sleeping Chang Yufeng, and then looked at the painful Lin'er, very confused. He put his hand on Lin'er's forehead, trying to transmit spiritual power into her nerves to relieve her pain.

"It's hard to say..." He Chao was a little surprised when he saw Meng Anmo's frightened look, and then looked at the old doctor: "Grandma, this is a very rare situation, it's like Junior Sister Lin'er has created a shadow of the young master herself."

"Young Master's...shadow?" The old doctor looked at He Chao puzzledly. He Chao's face looked ugly and weak, and obviously pale.

"Yes... the young master's shadow, it's like the shadow of Junior Sister Lin'er in the past is causing trouble..." He Chao was a little weak because Meng Anmo consumed too much spiritual energy when traveling through dreams. Now he was a little out of breath. After drinking a pill, he took Erica's purple scarf to wipe his sweat: "This phenomenon is called [Dream Reversal]. No matter who the dream owner is, this kind of dream will influence the dream owner to make a choice. It appears according to the dream owner's memory or recollection. Junior Sister Lin'er's [Dream Reversal] is still somewhat rare. There are also examples of shadows imprisoning dream owners... Grandma, do you remember the woodcutter of the Wang family? He encountered [Dream Reversal] and was trapped in a dream. Most [Dream Interpreters] were helpless, and because of the obstruction of the woodcutter's family, he died in the dream!"

"I thought your father rescued that poor guy..." The old doctor looked at He Chao with some regret.

"..." He Chao coughed uncomfortably and continued: "My father was stopped by the woodcutter's wife and children... In fact, the only way to save the woodcutter is to completely destroy the woodcutter's dream, but..."

"The woodcutter will also lose the ability to sleep and can no longer live a normal life, right?" The chief steward did not look at He Chao. He still did not stop his actions. The spiritual power entered Lin'er's temple little by little, and the painful expression was slightly relieved.

"Hmm... So, they wanted to live a peaceful life, so they let the woodcutter live in a dream. At least there... he wouldn't feel any pain..." He Chao took a sip of water and slowly took out something from his pocket. He placed them on the ground one by one.

"Why? If he can't sleep... he must be stopped... Can't we live together if we rescue the woodcutter? Wouldn't his wife be very surprised?" Erica hid the scarf in her sleeves and looked at the objects one by one while supporting herself with her hands.

"Because, that is a very painful thing... People who can't sleep can't be called human beings... Day after day without any way to sleep is unimaginable for ordinary people. Their bodies will be destroyed day and night for no reason, and they will even gradually lose their sanity and become terrible monsters, and be driven crazy by the pain of not being able to sleep... When encountering [Dream Reversal], the most effective way is not to wake up the dream owner from inside, which is powerless... The dream owner knows that he lives in a dream, but is powerless to make any changes. They may even be controlled by the dream reversal and have infinite reincarnation in the dream..." He Chao lowered his head and arranged the objects. It was a pile of small porcelains that looked exactly like the Meng'an Tapir, each of them lifelike, and the real Meng'an Tapir was already sleeping on He Chao's shoulder. She absorbed most of the power of the birdcage and was driven away by the white-clothed boy. Fear and fatigue pressed on her small body, and now she was tired and bloated.

"Oh, so that's how it is... That's quite scary... Then, what should Sister Lin'er do? I hope that situation won't happen..." Erica looked at Lin'er worriedly. They could no longer see things in dreams, so for people outside the dreams, the direction of everything began to become unknown again.

"No, my father has found a solution..." He Chao looked confidently at Erica who was still looking at Lin'er worriedly.

"any solution?"

"Have you ever heard of stealing the day?"

"I've heard of it, but what does this have to do with rescuing Sister Lin'er?"

"We will secretly replace Junior Sister Lin'er... Then you will know..."

"At this critical moment, don't keep us in suspense..." The old doctor looked at He Chao with a little disdain, very kindly. "It means to replace Junior Sister Lin'er into another dream, so that she can be awakened in another dream, and then the fake Junior Sister Lin'er, that is, this..." He Chao picked up a small porcelain Meng'an tapir, his face looked much better, he shook the small Meng'an tapir and said: "This fake Junior Sister Lin'er will replace the real Junior Sister Lin'er in the dream created by [Dream Counter]..."

"Wow, that sounds impressive, Yazi..." Erica's speech was a little slurred because she was talking with her head down.

"However, I need someone to create another dream and hide the real Lin'er..." He Chao looked at Erica, full of expectations. In fact, there was no suitable candidate among the four people in the secret room.

Erica tilted her head and looked at him in confusion, her golden hair moving to her ears a little bit: "How to do it?"

"Listen carefully--" He Chao pointed at the pile of vanilla and said seriously: "Lie down and sleep~"

"what?"

"Lie down, Junior Sister Erica~ It's time to go to bed~"

"Oh! You rascal! Doctor grandma, look at your grandson! Save the child!"

"..."

[The First Line of Defense of Bailing Mountain]

"Report! These invaders are humans infected with demonic energy. They have all been sealed. There are no casualties at the moment!" A soldier was making a report in front of the door. The style of his gorgeous clothes clearly showed that he was a team leader.

"Okay, I got it. Notify all personnel to be alert during this period of time. There may be a more violent attack." A middle-aged man in a fancy military uniform looked at a document and continued: "Also, send a signal flare to tell all the Bailingshan disciples outside to pay more attention to the demonic energy in the surrounding villages. There may be real demons appearing..."

Now was no longer the time to hide and conceal the truth as usual, the demons were really coming. Even though there was no movement in the Demon Sealing Well, this organized and large-scale attack could not possibly be unrelated to the loosening of the demon seal that had been widely rumored these days.

"Really... I don't know what to say... Many people still don't believe that the devil has broken the seal. Do you know [Tamoka]?" A younger officer looked at the middle-aged officer and said: "I heard that the place has been razed to the ground by an unknown person!"

The young officer looked very excited. Even so, the middle-aged officer just chuckled. He looked at a small scroll on the table and chuckled, "That may not be the work of the seven sealed demons. It's probably just baseless speculation. There are too many people who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. It's probably that some great god couldn't stand that place, so he destroyed it..."

He chuckled, his beard combed neatly. In the painting, a woman was holding a child. They were both smiling happily and blinking at him from time to time. The grass in the painting moved slightly, and it seemed that the sun was shining and everything was the most beautiful.

"We should pray for peace..."

As he spoke, he looked at the two people in the painting, somewhat intoxicated.
