It was supposed to be a Mythic card set, but what the heck is this Warhammer 40k?

Chapter 142 The Nightmare Hidden Next to Us!

This was the first time Lu Ya had ever heard of such a bizarre thing as killing someone in a dream.

However, Lu Ya knew very well that those who could do this were either monsters or card masters!

And there's a very high chance he's a card master!

To be honest, his uncle's family had treated him well, so Lu Ya naturally couldn't choose to stand idly by.

Thinking of this, Lu Ya narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Fangzhou, asking, "Have you offended anyone recently, or has your uncle offended anyone?"

Upon hearing Lu Ya's words, Lu Fangzhou was initially stunned, but then suddenly realized: "You mean, my current situation is man-made?"

Lu Ya said calmly, "My current guess is that someone is deliberately causing trouble, but I'm not entirely sure, so I'll ask first..."

.

After listening to Lu Ya's analysis, Lu Fangzhou began to frown and ponder deeply.

But he quickly shook his head firmly: "No, my nightmare probably started about a week ago. During that time, I stayed at home every day and didn't go out at all."

"As for my dad, I'm not entirely sure, but given his personality—he'd rather suffer a loss than cause trouble—it's highly unlikely he'd get into any trouble."

After receiving Lu Fangzhou's reply, Lu Ya couldn't help but frown.

Could it be that you were just unlucky and bumped into something unclean?

Just as Lu Ya was pondering these matters, his uncle's voice came from the main room: "Lu Fangzhou, it's time to come over."

Lu Fangzhou quickly replied, "I understand, I'll be right there."

Then Lu Fangzhou said wearily to Lu Ya, "Whatever it is, we can talk about it later. I'm going now."

After saying that, Lu Fangzhou dragged his tired body toward the main room.

After Lu Fangzhou left, Lu Ya could only put the matter aside for the time being and do his own thing.

He opened the trunk of his car, took out all the tomb-sweeping supplies he had prepared, and then walked towards a nearby mountain.

Soon, Lu Ya arrived at his parents' graves. Looking at the graves that were now overgrown with weeds, Lu Ya sighed.

Although he was a transmigrator, no matter what, the other party was his biological parents, and the blood relationship was undeniable.

So, Lu Ya quickly took out his tools and cleared away the weeds around the grave.

After the weeds were cleared away, Lu Ya arranged the offerings he had brought on the grave, and then lit incense and paper money.

After burning all the paper money, Lu Ya clasped his hands together and bowed again.

After doing all this, Lu Ya got up and then began to think about Lu Fangzhou.

Lu Ya pondered for a long time but couldn't think of any bizarre cases related to murder in dreams.

Left with no other choice, Lu Ya took out his phone from his pocket, intending to send a message to Jiang Beiling to inquire about clues on how to kill someone in a dream.

Just as Lu Ya finished editing the message and was about to send it to Jiang Beiling, he suddenly hesitated.

Because murders in dreams are so rare and bizarre, Jiang Beiling might not even know that sending this message could very well lead to her own demise.

To find clues about the murders in the secret realm, we'd probably have to ask around at headquarters; perhaps only they would know these things.

Lu Ya quickly deleted the message he had just edited and finally retrieved a phone number from his contacts.

This phone number belongs to Tang Yushi.

As a switchboard operator at headquarters, Tang Yushi encounters the most bizarre events and phenomena on a daily basis.

If even Tang Yushi doesn't know, then there's nothing Lu Ya can do.

Thinking of this, Lu Ya called Tang Yushi.

"Murder in a dream?"

Tang Yushi's thoughtful voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lu Ya nodded and asked, "Yes, I wanted to ask, have you ever encountered any monsters that can kill people in dreams before?"

Faced with Lu Ya's question, Tang Yushi pondered for a long time.

"I've never heard of a monster that kills in dreams."

Upon hearing Tang Yushi's words, Lu Ya's heart sank.

Is Lu Fangzhou really that unlucky, encountering such a bizarre event that's one in a million?

Just when Lu Ya thought that Lu Fangzhou's problem was truly unsolvable, Tang Yushi spoke up once again.

"However, from your description, it sounds like the kind of tactic those lunatics in Utopia would use."

Ideal State?

Lu Ya paused for a moment when he heard the name.

Tang Yushi explained, "Like the Cult of Gods, the Ideal Kingdom is also an organization of evil card masters."

"The goal of the evil card masters in the ideal world is to create a world without strife, oppression, or injustice!"

Lu Ya stroked his chin and pondered, "Isn't this exactly the same goal as the Divine Cult? There's basically no difference!"

""

Tang Yushi sighed and said, "There is still a difference. The goal of the Divine Cult is to revive the gods and use their power to achieve this objective."

"But the Republic is different. The Republic believes that this is simply impossible in the real world, not even by the gods."

"This perfect world can only exist in dreams, so their ultimate goal is to drag everyone in the world into dreams, because only in dreams can such a perfect world be created."

Damn, it's Infinite Tsukuyomi, huh?!

Lu Ya couldn't help but grin.

He felt that these evil card masters were all exceptionally idealistic and ambitious, and each of them aimed to create a world without injustice and oppression.

On the other hand, he only thinks about loafing around and waiting to die.

Holy crap, that's the truth! These evil card masters are the real heroes!

Of course, this was just a little joke.

Tang Yushi continued, "Therefore, those evil card masters in Ideal Country are particularly good at making cards related to dreams."

"The dream-based murders you mentioned are also a common tactic used by these guys."

Lu Ya asked incredulously, "You mean to say that my relative has been targeted by the evil card masters of Ideal Kingdom, right?"

Tang Yushi thought for a moment and replied, "I think that's unlikely."

"These evil card masters are just crazy, not stupid. Your relative is just an ordinary person. It's not worth all this trouble and effort to deal with."

"If you really want to solve the problem for an ordinary person, a large truck is much more useful than a license plate."

Okay, stop talking, the bad memories are already flooding back.

Lu Ya couldn't help but mutter a complaint in his mind.

Tang Yushi continued, "I feel that someone just happened to get their hands on the cards made by those lunatics from Ideal Country and then used them on your relative."

Lu Ya frowned and asked, "Is there any solution?"

Tang Yushi said calmly, "Actually, the solution is very simple. Just follow him into the dream."

"The card master's cards can still be used in the dream, and if there is any danger, you can take him with you to get out of the dream."

You can even play online games in your dreams?

Lu Ya was somewhat surprised; he had never expected the solution to be this.

Lu Ya asked, "Then how can I enter his dream together?"

Tang Yushi replied, "It's very simple. After he falls asleep, you can contact him with your mental energy, and the dream will directly pull your consciousness into it."

Lu Ya nodded; that was indeed quite simple.

Tang Yushi solemnly reminded him at the end: "By the way, let me remind you of something. Normally, cards that can kill in dreams usually have a fatal flaw."

"That is, the card user must stay within a certain range of the victim; only in this way can the dream be guaranteed not to be interrupted."

After hearing Tang Yushi's words, Lu Ya was stunned for a moment.

But he quickly realized something, his pupils constricted sharply, and he said incredulously, "You mean...?"

'

Tang Yushi replied, "That's right, which means the user of this card is right next to you!"
