I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

In the blink of an eye, the ten dreamers had been resting in the small shop in the safe zone for more than an hour.

Apart from the unlucky ones who died at the hands of the monster at the very beginning, the rest of the people were becoming more and more relaxed.

I'm also grateful that I was able to find a safe zone and receive the store manager's protection.

Praise to the store manager.

"If we could stay in this store for another ten or twenty hours, then...wouldn't we be able to get through this major nightmare?"

"Is experiencing a major nightmare really that easy?"

They certainly knew it wasn't simple.

Besides, although the manager said they could rest here and there was no time limit, but...

They can't possibly allow them to stay for more than ten hours, can they?

Most people who experience dreaming of being possessed believe they still have some self-awareness.

The store manager sheltered them out of kindness, not out of obligation.

The store manager must have paid a heavy price for sheltering so many people; they haven't even paid them, so how could they dare to ask for more?

Of course, despite this, driven by their instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, they still hope to stay in the store as long as possible.

after that,

They had rested enough, so they were more confident in tackling a dangerous location now.

At this moment, Xi Xue suggested, "Let's conquer this massive nightmare!"

Other dreamers: "???"

No, girl!

This is a complete nightmare! You know, even dealing with a single danger source is a challenge, let alone this whole nightmare!

Even a master of the Control stage, Fa Gui, felt that this suggestion was too risky.

They just rested for a while; they weren't enhanced tenfold.

But at this moment, Xuanjian agreed to the suggestion of conquering Nightmare.

"If we're going to conquer the nightmare, count me in. I also want to... completely conquer this massive nightmare."

However, I don't quite understand why this is so strange.

In his view, Xi Xue was a loud and impulsive young girl with little experience, while Xuan Jian was clearly an experienced and rational master.

"How so? I get the feeling you have an urgent need to conquer your nightmares."

Xuanjian remained silent for a while.

Instead of answering directly, he asked, "Have any of you ever experienced nightmares invading reality?"

Nightmares are invading reality?

Suddenly, the person in the baseball cap spoke up, "I...I've been there! If the Countermeasures Bureau hadn't arrived quickly, I might have been killed in there. Nightmares that invade reality are completely unreasonable!"

The woman in the pajamas also said, "I experienced that once too, just about two weeks ago."

"Me too!"

The expert also spoke, his voice hoarse.

"I've experienced it twice, well, not counting the times I actively assisted in the investigation."

One by one, those who had fallen into the dream began to speak, recounting their experiences.

Of the ten Dreamers present, eight had actually experienced the intrusion incident!

It's important to know that the time people have been "Dream Fallers" is not long, ranging from one or two months to four or five months at most.

Even the most oblivious dreamer, after this reconciliation, realized something was wrong.

"Isn't it said that such nightmares invading reality are rare?"

Shi An was stunned.

His initial thought, like many others present, was that he was simply unlucky to have been caught up in the nightmare invasion.

Unexpectedly, everyone was in the same boat; it wasn't that I was particularly unlucky.

"In the past, nightmare invasions were rare."

Xuan Jian spoke up, "However, I heard that around a year or two ago, the frequency of nightmare invasions started to increase, and in the last few months, they have become even more frequent. We don't know how many cases occur in Baijiang City every month."

Old Cai from the Countermeasures Bureau confirmed Xuanjian's statement.

"Brother Xuanjian is right. I don't know the exact number either, but we've been sending out more field missions for the Strategy Bureau than ever before. Some of the guys in the bureau are almost at their breaking point."

"Indeed, the nightmare intrusions are still relatively controllable at present, but if the number of intrusions continues to increase, and once a certain critical value is exceeded, the balance will be completely broken, and disaster may sweep in."

Old Cai had already realized what Xuan Jian might be about to say.

The next moment, Xuanjian continued, "The reason why nightmares invade reality so frequently is essentially because the number of nightmare worlds is constantly increasing, and their growth rate far exceeds the speed at which we can conquer them."

He described it.

The nightmare world is like a series of bubbles floating and sinking in the deep sea.

As the number of these bubbles continues to grow until they become crowded, some bubbles will be pushed to the surface and crash into reality.

"If we don't tackle these nightmares soon, one day they might invade reality in large numbers, and then..."

"This is why I'm so eager to conquer the Nightmare World."

"However..." Xuan Jian smiled bitterly, "This is a huge nightmare. I really have no confidence. I'll just do my best."

Thinking about it carefully, it's somewhat unwise for these people to attempt to conquer a large-scale nightmare.

But suddenly, the store manager spoke up, "If you want to conquer this nightmare, I can provide you with some support."

"It's not just about providing you with shelter so you have no worries; I can also lend you a hand when necessary."

Is the store manager about to make a move?

Xi Xue's eyes widened.

The store manager once said that she was just an ordinary person, but of course that's impossible; she's not that stupid.

But how will the store manager handle this? I have a feeling that the store manager still won't leave the store.

Xuan Jian was even more astonished.

The shop manager must be a lost soul.

For the lost to survive, the most important thing is to evade the gaze of the nightmare world and blend into the nightmare as if they were eerie or native creatures.

The shop manager's safe zone seems completely different from the rest of the nightmare world, but in reality, within the nightmare's logic, the shop is likely as insignificant as a withered tree or a dilapidated wooden house.

By protecting these people, the store manager's risk of being discovered by nightmares has greatly increased.

If we were to make a move now...

No matter how powerful the store manager is, when locked onto by nightmares, there is nowhere to escape.

Because, at that time, the lost would face far more than just the malice of a nightmare world.

Xuanjian remained silent for a moment, then said, "We will not let you down. We will definitely conquer this nightmare world!"

"Young people these days..."

Fa Gui spoke up, "In that case, count me in the strategy team."

Old Cai and Xiao Dao exchanged a glance. "The Bureau of Policy and Decisions has an even greater responsibility to help."

His expression shifted across his baseball cap, a mixture of hesitation and inner turmoil. He gritted his teeth…

Woman in pajamas: "I'll do it!"

Baseball cap: "??? Me too!"

The remaining few gritted their teeth and joined in one after another.

Even the young people with messy hair, codenamed "college students," said, "We're going all out!"

"The first major nightmare strategy, centered around the safe zone, begins now!"

"For Baijiang, for humanity, for the future, let's fight this nightmare!"
