Chapter 196 The Master of Dreams (6)

Mumu knew it was fake, but the dream she created was too real, and it seemed like the other party was intentionally trying to blur the lines between reality and dreams.

Familiar faces appeared one after another, and then died one after another.

Mu Mu didn't really feel anything, since it was all just a phantom in her dream. But after a few more days, it's hard to say. Surely the other party couldn't only do this much, right?

Mumu sat cross-legged on the bed, her two little ones nestled in her arms, crying softly, while Ningbao clung to her arm, seemingly withdrawn. Since she couldn't leave now, she might as well gather her thoughts.

Mumu first asked Baigao and Mengmeng about their dreams. The two little ones told her about it one by one, and then looked at each other, both seeing doubt in each other's eyes.

Huh? One of them is a bat and the other is a cat, a bat with a cat's head. That shouldn't have scared them like this.

The two little ones tilted their heads and thought for a moment, feeling that it didn't seem that scary. Why were they so afraid in their dreams?

"That's normal. Many things that seem terrifying in your dreams become insignificant when you think about them after waking up. That's because dreams are illusory; the concrete things are fake, and the only real thing is your emotions."

Mumu explained, then looked at Ningbao. Ningbao's dream logic was even more chaotic, basically nonexistent.

But dreams are always connected to reality. What Bai Gao and the others were afraid of might not actually be the bat with a cat's head, but rather the increasing psychological pressure caused by the constant dripping of water in the cave. If something suddenly appeared at that moment, it would startle them, no matter what it was.

To put it bluntly, what they're really afraid of isn't bats with cat heads, but taking a bath.

As for Ningbao's dream, Mumu did a little analysis:

First, Ningbao became a normal fifth-grade elementary school student. This might be because Ningbao really wanted to grow taller, so he became a big kid in his dream.

The location is at the school, which is fine. Ningbao just started kindergarten yesterday, so it's a familiar environment for her.

Of course, there are many logical inconsistencies here. For example, the most obvious one is why do we still have to go to PE class after finishing our cleaning duties after school? And why are things smaller when they are closer and larger when they are farther away?

However, since it's a dream, logical inconsistencies are normal.

What Mumu was concerned about was why Ningbao felt fear:

"Ningbao, have you seen anything like a clown lately?"

No~

Ning Bao rested her chin on her hand and thought seriously for a while, then shook her head:

"It's not even in cartoons."

That's really strange. Compared to Bai Gao and Meng Meng's dreams, Ning Bao's is clearly more abnormal. But you never know, dreams are inherently unpredictable.

Let's wait a couple more days and see. Maybe she's just overthinking things? In her previous world, she was determined to change her habit of overthinking.

The reason Mumu felt that she might be overthinking things was because, according to the information she received from Tiandao and Baigao, the person who obtained the cheat was just a junior high school student.

Although we don't know who that person is, or whether they have antisocial personality disorder, in any case, they probably only have the ability to freely travel through dreams. Even if they wanted to tamper with someone's dream, they could only target one dream at a time.

Their collective nightmares are most likely a coincidence. The reasons why Bai Gao and Meng Meng have nightmares are quite reasonable, and shouldn't require any human intervention.

but……

Mumu still vaguely felt that something was wrong.

After dropping Ningbao off at the kindergarten gate, Mumu went to school. Since primary school starts much earlier than kindergarten, the kindergarten isn't open yet.

However, Mumu was quite at ease with Ningbao now. Although she still seemed a bit silly most of the time, she had really grown a lot. Mumu gave Ningbao a few words of advice, gave her a box of rice cakes to eat while she waited, and then went to school, looking back every few steps.

The primary and junior high sections are connected, making it easier for students to find each other, which is why Mumu chose to attend school there.

Ningbao nodded. At first, she really did sit quietly somewhere, eating rice cakes while waiting for the kindergarten to open. But…

Ningbao eats so fast! In no time, a box of rice cakes was empty, and the old man who opened the door hadn't even come out yet.

"Ha~"

Ningbao, who had gotten up too early, yawned and felt really sleepy. But Mumu said that she would catch a cold if she slept by the roadside.

Ningbao, still half asleep, stood up, clutching the empty insulated box. Like a baby bird, she looked around, trying to find a place where she could curl up and sleep for a while.

then……

A flawless version after careful inspection!

With a thud, Ningbao plopped down on the ground. A little bewildered, she touched her head with her little hand, looked up, and the first thing she saw was a head of striking yellow hair.

Did Ningbao bump into the older brother? I'm sorry.

Ningbao got up from the ground, patted the dirt off his bottom, and apologized to the little blond-haired boy very sincerely.

However, she wrinkled her nose and thought the older brother smelled awful.

The blond-haired man, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and an impatient expression, raised his leg as if to kick Ning Bao away.

However, the reason Mumu could leave Ningbao here to wait for the door to open was because the combat level of humans in this world was generally not high, right? Ningbao stretched out her little hand and grabbed the yellow-haired man's trouser leg. Before the yellow-haired man could lash out and utter some inappropriate swear words, Ningbao saw the yellow-haired man casually throw over a still-burning cigarette. She nimbly jumped to the side, then grabbed the yellow-haired man's leg and slammed him to the ground.

Ningbao sensed it—a strange hostility; this smelly older brother wanted to hit her.

Kill those who want to kill her, cripple those who want to attack her—this was the educational philosophy Ning Bao received from the demon race since childhood. If others have already shown malice towards you and acted on it, and you don't fight back, you'll only be bullied to death; might makes right.

However, Ning Bao still remembered what Mu Mu said: before you have the ability to fight against the whole world, don't casually challenge the rules of a small world, or you will only hurt yourself.

It seems that you can't just kill or beat people in this little world.

Ning Baochao listened to Mumu. She first squatted down next to the little blond boy's head and poked him, asking in a childish voice:

"Big brother, why did you kick Ningbao?"

"I just don't like you!"

The blond-haired boy felt pain all over his body from being hit, and with a ferocious expression, he picked up a rock from the side and was about to smash it on Ningbao's head.
