I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 665 The Black Dream (16)

The Zhong Zheng in front of him was clearly not the Zhong Zheng he knew.

The other person looked quite young, and it's possible that the dreamer had beautified their appearance, with excessive skin smoothing on their face. Just that one face alone increased the brightness of the dream by three plus signs.

Moreover, although there were three inspectors who rushed in, the faces of the other two were blurred, while Zhong Zheng's face was clearly visible.

While dreams are often highly subjective, this is far too subjective.

Recalling the scene just now, he found himself seemingly merging with the dream's protagonist, the child, and beginning to experience the other's emotions.

In other words, if he didn't open the door, he would face endless torment. No wonder the other party had a soft spot for Zhong Zheng.

That female ghost, kidnapping children is a crime!

And don't develop feelings for law enforcement officers!

Although I really want to drag the other person out and give them a good scolding, now is not the time to think about those things.

Looking up, Chen Yu saw the dreamscape that had just merged begin to shatter, turning into nutrients that were absorbed by the dream world.

Seeing this, Chen Yu felt new knowledge flowing into his brain, making him understand what was going on.

The world, layer upon layer, is not static, especially the dream world, which is born from "humans".

They can absorb dreams to expand; the birth and death of each dream increases the density of the dream realm, making it larger.

Moreover, the way knowledge is acquired here is somewhat peculiar. You can understand the principles behind some things just by seeing them, without having to study them deliberately, which is quite interesting.

However, Chen Yu also discovered that this place is also easily polluted by knowledge. A large amount of knowledge floods into his mind without explanation, and many unnecessary things flood in before he even has time to think.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Demon Body, I might have been corrupted beyond recognition by knowledge.

While the Heavenly Demon Body continued to gather the dream, Chen Yu also began to think about the current situation.

Gathering dreams requires mana. If I don't follow the direction arranged by the Heavenly Demon Body, can I quickly consume all the positive mana and leave this place?
Judging from the dream I just had, this method should be effective, so let's try it out later.

With this in mind, Chen Yu no longer resisted the allure of the dream and was directly drawn into the dark dream world.

This time, he is still a child.

He was on a long street lined with cramped houses on both sides. The black houses stood like silent giants, coldly watching him.

The houses seemed to be made from the same mold, each with a light on, and a blurry shadow stood by the window, opening it a crack to peek out at itself.

There was a streetlamp in front of each house, its orange light flickering intermittently, making the surroundings even darker.

"That's it? It's like a typical horror movie."

Following the path of the streetlights, Chen Yu found that the road in front of him seemed to stretch on forever.

Although the buildings on both sides look exactly the same, they seem to undergo subtle changes as the distance traveled increases.

The roof of the house seemed to grow sharper and sharper, and the lights inside seemed to grow increasingly crimson.

Gradually, the gap in the window widened, and a blurry figure gradually appeared beside the window, coldly watching Chen Yu below.

The only moving thing in the room was the other person's eyes; their red eyes were fixed on Chen Yu, their cold gaze devoid of any emotion. Unbeknownst to him, the streetlights flickered more and more frequently. Each time darkness descended, Chen Yu could hear soft footsteps echoing in the darkness, followed by the laughter of a little girl and increasingly close breathing.

Continuing forward, Chen Yu saw the shadow by the window begin to turn and then begin to descend. The shadow that was just at the window was now standing in the doorway of the next house, and then continued to look at him.

The road seemed to be getting narrower and narrower, and the roadside ahead could only accommodate one person at a time. This made the shadow on the roadside get closer and closer to her. The girl's laughter grew louder and louder, and her panting was already close to her neck.

When the road in front of him narrowed to the point where he could only squeeze in, Chen Yu stopped.

Walking towards the shadowy figure to the side, Chen Yu said fiercely, "What are you looking at?"

The shadowy figure remained motionless, merely staring at Chen Yu with murky eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

"What, you're still not convinced? Here, the dragon coils up for me, and the tiger lies down for me, understand?"

"Hee hee~"

The girl's voice rang out from behind, and Chen Yu said irritably, "I've been putting up with you for a long time, all that giggling. What do you want? Just say it! Or I'll make sure you stop giggling!"

Hearing the panting, Chen Yu didn't hold back and immediately turned around to throw a punch.

The punch missed its target, but it brought the opponent's breathing to an abrupt halt.

Looking at this mess, Chen Yu said helplessly, "I think the way dreams progress is quite interesting, but it would be better if the changes were more obvious. It would be more interesting to use a lot of popular elements, such as mobile phones. Also, the interactivity is relatively poor. If you're walking the whole time, it would be better to make it shorter and more concise, or to make it with clear dividing lines, like the kind of game called 'The Next Day' would be good."

Unsure of what he had triggered, Chen Yu discovered that the dreamscape around him suddenly shattered, and the dark fragments of the dream transformed into nourishment for the dream world.

After thinking it over, Chen Yu felt it was feasible.

Pointing out the flaws in a dream and choosing the right path will cause the dream to shatter prematurely, thus avoiding the predicament of being tormented.

Seeing the black dream gather again, Chen Yu actually felt a little impatient.

Hurry up and bring it up, I can't wait!
However, Chen Yu felt something was off about the dream that followed.

This time, the dreams did not merge; only a pitch-black dream descended upon him.

The pain fell upon me; my limbs felt as if they were on fire.

The surroundings were littered with fragments of corpses, and numerous items symbolizing identity were scattered around, allowing Chen Yu to identify the other party.

Although he didn't know their true identities, Chen Yu understood that they were his brothers, sisters, and friends, the most important people in his life.

But now, they are all dead.

The black Emperor's Banner greedily devours the primordial spirits here. Unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation, they can only endure endless torment within the Reincarnation Banner, waiting for someone to liberate them.

Reaching out towards the Emperor's Flag, Chen Yu tried to snatch it, only to see his arm fall to the ground and his eye scratched.

Then, molten iron was poured into his ears, causing him to lose his hearing.

The tongue was stabbed in with a sharp instrument and cut off at the root.

Endless pain assailed Chen Yu, plunging him into an abyss of suffering. But within his heart, hatred raged like wildfire, threatening to burn everything to ashes!
Hatred spread in his heart, and intense emotions boiled and burned, causing Chen Yu to let out his final roar.

(I'll kill you!)
(I'm going to kill you!)
