I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Shi An thought he had fallen into a nightmare world.

Many people who fall into nightmares find that the world around them changes drastically in the blink of an eye, either from a moment of distraction or simply from opening a door.

"But that's not right."

"I am not a dream faller yet. In the early stages of being plagued by nightmares, ordinary people only experience nightmares when falling asleep, which is just a mental dream fall. Only after overcoming the initial nightmare and becoming a dream faller will one be completely immersed in the sea of ​​nightmares."

Good news, Shi An did not fall into a dream.

So what's the bad news?

"Since I didn't fall into a dream, that means... the nightmare broke through the barrier of reality and descended upon Baijiang University? Hiss!!"

Old Song mentioned it briefly in the basic information he provided.

The dangers in the real world come from two sources: one is the insane dreamers or antisocial organizations; the other is the invasion of nightmares.

However, nightmare invasion doesn't seem to be a very high probability event.

These logistics personnel from the countermeasures bureau usually don't need to directly confront the nightmare invasion; at most, they are responsible for setting up a perimeter around the perimeter.

But unexpectedly, he bumped into it while walking around Baijiang University.

"Why is this bad luck!"

"Calm down! Calm down!"

Shi An took a deep breath.

He had just used several cursed items and was still somewhat weak, so encountering another nightmare was extremely unfortunate.

Many people who suffer from nightmares die because they suddenly encounter nightmares when they are not in a good state of mind!

"Fortunately, I still have one employee, Xiao Xue."

"I can communicate with the safe zone at any time and summon Little Blood to come to reality. Using the Ghostly Flow as cover, what I'm doing won't seem too outrageous."

It's just surprising that Shi An was already a Dreamer.

This is not a big problem.

With this in mind, Shi An calmed down and began communicating with the safe zone while observing his surroundings.

The light was much dimmer, the wind carried a chilling wind that made one shiver, and the leaves rustled all around.

However, the trees remained lush and green, and the asphalt road was free of cracks, so the environment did not seem as dangerous as the Nightmare World.

"The reason for the nightmare invasion is unknown, but the area shrouded in the nightmare fog is essentially isolated from the outside world; there's no way out, but..."

"The nightmare invasion may recede after a while, and reality will return to normal. Or, the source of this nightmare must be defeated to restore this eroded area."

Even in the latter case, this is Baijiang University after all, and Shi An believes that the Countermeasures Bureau's rescue will arrive soon.

Moreover, Professor Luo must be an expert, right?

……

"What? You're saying Professor Luo had a nightmare ten minutes ago? Damn it, of all times!"

The person in charge of Baijiang University felt helpless.

But the nightmare is so uncontrollable that even the strongest among those who have fallen into nightmares cannot control when they fall into one.

The person in charge quickly sought help from all parties.

"The Countermeasures Bureau's Dream Chaser team is on their way? Good!"

"Hold on for another half hour, the leader of the third squad will be there!"

"In addition, we will quickly organize several elite dream sufferers from among the students still in school to enter the nightmare area, to comfort and rescue those trapped in the nightmare-shrouded area, to minimize the damage, and to provide necessary clues for the reinforcements that arrive later, so as to break this nightmare more quickly!"

Aside from the Dreamers at the main campus of Baijiang University, there are naturally more or less Dreamers throughout the vast campus, whether openly or secretly.

Among those who just participated in the training were four people who had fallen into a dream.

however,

"This is a nightmare invading reality!"

"A nightmare that has invaded reality is far beyond the capabilities of us novice dreamers!"

"Even a seasoned dreamer in the fusion phase would be absolutely unable to handle this kind of nightmare disaster."

Seeing the billowing gray fog in the distance, the newlywed dreamers had no choice but to retreat.

We must wait for support!

With just them, getting in would be like throwing them away!

Even the Countermeasures Bureau's manual does not recommend that they rashly enter the Nightmare-Eroded Zone.

just,

"Are there still quite a few survivors in this area invaded by the nightmare?"

"You want to go in?"

A lakeside.

Two students from Baekgang University are gazing at the arched bridge shrouded in gray fog.

"Of course I'm going."

The girl, wearing jeans and a T-shirt, clenched her fist tightly.

Nearby, another female college student, also a junior at Baijiang University, exclaimed in shock, "Are you crazy?!"

As rising stars in the wizarding family, they bear heavy responsibilities and have no need to, nor should they, take risks in such a place.

Baijiang University didn't recruit them either!

and,

"Nightmares that invade reality may no longer follow nightmare logic, meaning that once we step into it, we might directly encounter the nightmare boss. Without a skilled person to hold off the nightmare boss, our ability to even search for clues is useless!"

But Li Xixue didn't care.

She never shied away from the unseen and sharp edge.

"We may not necessarily confront the supernatural, but we will definitely be able to save many people."

"What if we really encountered something strange?"

She paused for a moment, then said, "I'll hold them off."

She stepped into the gray fog area.

In an instant, her jet-black hair turned silver-white inch by inch, a deep purple witch's dress replaced her simple clothes, she wore a wizard's hat, and her sneakers were replaced with tall boots. The gloves that she had put on at some point gleamed with a bright red sheen.

During the fusion period, it is impossible to directly confront the strange phenomenon.

indeed.

But after conquering Nightmare yesterday, she was already at the peak of the Fusion stage, half a step into the Control Realm.

In the distance, another girl cursed, "Fuck you!" and rushed into the gray fog.

……

Nightmare-eroded area.

Shi An saw a pair of dogs shivering in the distance.

The sky was grayish-white, and a gray mist hung in the air, making the surroundings much quieter. Ordinary people might not understand nightmares, but they could sense that something was wrong.

I will feel uneasy and frightened.

It will run around randomly.

Shi An sighed, stepped forward, and took out his permit from his pocket.

"The Countermeasures Bureau is handling the case."

"It's okay if you don't understand. In short, don't wander off. Either stay where you are or stick close to me."

Perhaps it was because Shi An was a few years older and looked too calm that he immediately became the backbone.

He wandered around the outskirts of the gray fog-shrouded area, and a few minutes later, several shivering college students were following behind him.

Just then, another group of people came from the opposite direction.

There were four people in total, led by a relatively calm young man.

His eyes lit up immediately when he saw Shi An, "Boss!"

Shi An: "???"

He almost thought his identity had been exposed, but upon closer inspection, the young man's face looked familiar; he seemed to be one of the dozens of people who had just attended class.

For those dozens of prospective countermeasures bureau personnel, Shi An, as an ordinary person, did not hesitate to touch the cursed artifacts one by one. He was a ruthless person, and as long as he didn't die, he would definitely become a big shot in the future.

"Hello, boss. My name is Huang Zhou, and I'm also from our Countermeasures Bureau."

The two teams met up, and Shi An stopped running around aimlessly.

He and a dozen or so people hid in a pavilion, which was located on the outskirts of the Nightmare Realm and was relatively safer.

As for escaping? It's useless. No one can escape before the nightmare realm dissipates.

No matter how you try to escape, you'll eventually return to where you started.

And currently,

Looking around, Shi An saw that apart from the drifting gray fog and dim light, there seemed to be no danger.

But he could vaguely sense a chilling aura brewing in the distance.

He said to Huang Zhou, "You stay here and keep a close eye on them. Don't let these students run around."

"And what about you, boss?"

"I'll go deeper in and find out what happened inside."

"but……"

Huang Zhou hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Shi An said, "Do you think the early Dream Fallers are much stronger than us ordinary people? Not much, right? Wisdom and courage are our greatest weapons."

External plug-ins are what we rely on.

Shi An walked casually into the depths of the nightmare area.

Huang Zhou opened his mouth, but still couldn't bring himself to ask the question—what if he encountered something strange?

But Shi Anhui said:

"I'll just take action."
