I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Middle-aged people are the ones who are most cunning.

Shi An hadn't expected Fa Gui to be so swift and decisive, severing all ties with reality so easily.

After his Level 2 safe zone opened for business, before he could find any new nightmare worlds or welcome any new guests, Fa Gui returned here first.

It's only been less than a day, right?

He's a ruthless person.

Shi An also advised Fa Gui that there was no need to do this, but Fa Gui bluntly said that he had no relatives left in reality. His wife died in the disaster of the nightmare invading reality, and his son had disappeared in the nightmare world a year ago.

In reality, he had long since lost anything to cherish.

……

Half a day ago.

Baijiang City.

The Suffering Self-Help Association is one of the many mutual aid organizations for those who have fallen into despair in Baijiang City.

Fa Gui was one of the three founders of the Suffering Self-Help Association.

But today, the initiator is withdrawing.

"Brother Fa, why are you suddenly quitting?"

Zeng Tao, one of the other two pillars of the Self-Help Association and a master of the Control Period, asked.

Both he and Fa Gui were in the Control stage, and were renowned masters in the eyes of the Dream Fallers.

That is indeed the case.

The Suffering Self-Salvation Association ranks among the top in the many small Dream Fallen organizations precisely because of the presence of these three masters at the Control stage.

Their self-help group, along with several other organizations, partnered with the Countermeasures Bureau to start a black market.

The Black Market of Wanmeng City.

The Suffering Self-Help Association is the manager and maintainer of the black market.

The three of them were well-known figures in the area, especially Brother Fa Gui.

A person who had fallen into a dream once robbed a batch of black market goods.

The charlatan was on the black market at the time.

But before he could even leave the house, the two Dreamers who had already escaped the black market had their legs twisted off by the strange twisting.

After finishing this matter, it is said that the tea in Brother Fa Gui's cup was still warm.

Chow Yun-fat's performance made him famous overnight and also served as a strong deterrent to some restless dreamers.

This also enhanced the prestige of their Suffering Self-Salvation Society.

But today, this pillar of the self-help group is leaving?

He said cryptically, "My mind is made up. The Self-Help Society is a loose organization, and it never restricts the comings and goings of its members. In the future, you may not see me again in reality, but if fate allows, we may meet again in the Nightmare World."

Zeng Tao: "???"

He recognizes all the words in this text, but he can't understand them when they're put together.

What does it mean to not see them in reality?

If an ordinary member of the self-help group wanted to leave, Zeng Tao could still find a way to "retain" them. However, when facing Fa Gui, who was also in the control phase and had even greater prestige, he had no way to do anything.

This time, he even found that the pressure from the ghost was even greater.

The two were actually quite similar before, but Fa Gui took the path of the Ghostly Flow, which gave him an advantage in exploration and combat, and made him seem more mysterious and unfathomable to ordinary dreamers.

However, today, Zeng Tao truly realized that Fa Gui was somewhat unfathomable.

A chilling cursed power even lingered around Fa Gui, with a faint cursed pressure emanating from him. He seemed to have reached 100% mastery of cursed artifacts, already at the peak of the control stage. Next, Fa Gui could attempt to break through to the Refinement stage.

Once one enters the Refining Realm, they become a true powerhouse, ranking among the top in the entire Baijiang City.

That's way too fast!

It had only been a few days since the two last met.

Surely we can't conquer a nightmare in just a few days, can we?

"Brother Fa, can't you really stay?"

He asked again.

Without the slightest hesitation, Fa Gui replied, "Yes, I have found the meaning of my life, and now I will follow that great man."

"Oh, right."

Fa Gui turned to leave, but stopped before leaving and gave a word of advice.

"In the nightmare world, you should explore as much as possible. Sometimes what you encounter may not be danger, but a chance to save your life."

He left and disappeared into the black market in the blink of an eye.

Zeng Tao was left still in a daze.

He was stunned for a long time.

"What opportunity?"

"Wait, what did Chow Yun-fat just say? He's going to... follow a big shot?!"

……

Nightmare world, safe zone.

When Ann saw Fa Gui again and discovered that Fa Gui had specially bought a dream suit in preparation for starting work, he was still somewhat surprised.

As expected of a master of the control stage, their action is truly remarkable.

Shi An was initially somewhat helpless about Fa Gui's stubborn pursuit, but at this moment he realized that he really needed such a human employee.

For example, welcoming guests, introducing the dreamer to basic information about the safe zone, the purpose of each device, and so on.

Shi An could certainly do these things, but there were some things that were not suitable for him to say directly.

If it were done by someone who fabricates stories or praises others, it would seem much more natural.

Not to mention that as soon as Fa Gui arrived, he took on tasks such as cleaning and tidying up tables and chairs.

Although Fa Gui wasn't a formal employee, but rather an unofficial one, he could do far more things than Xiao Xue, the Weird.

He could even hide away and slack off, or practice his magical artifact manipulation skills.

Bloodstained Handprint, who was slacking off: "???"

It was clearly a weird thing, but suddenly I felt cold all over, and I had the illusion that I was about to lose my job.

It must be your imagination.

It can at least serve as a mascot... the security captain, for example.

……

In the store.

Li Wei snapped out of his daze.

He looked out of the shop, where a thin mist was rising again from the riverbank.

He was just influenced by the mist and inexplicably walked to the riverbank, almost jumping into the river.

If it weren't for the timely activation of the cursed object and the subsequent pain stimulating him to regain consciousness, his body might already be cold.

And now, the wind is still blowing and the fog is still drifting, but it's as if the scenery is firmly fixed outside the window.

Li Wei looked at Fa Gui.

"Who are you?"

Although Fa Gui appeared kind, he sensed a chilling aura emanating from him.

Very strong!

This middle-aged man in a suit is definitely a strong one among the Dreamers, and may even be stronger than the leader of his mutual aid society.

Are you the owner of this place?

Upon hearing this question, Fa Gui immediately became serious and said earnestly, "I am not the owner of this place, but just an ordinary employee of this safe zone."

Even the ghost knew himself clearly—

Not a full-time employee!

When Fa Gui first started working, he was given a lesson by a "veteran".

He was familiar with the "senior" and knew that the shopkeeper was also a master of the Yugui style.

But the strange creature controlled by the shopkeeper seems to be a living being, a real monster.

Do not,

The eerie have no intelligence or emotions, only hunting logic and instinct. Yet, the eerie creature clearly displays emotions in this round, blood-red clay sculpture.

Although it can't speak human language and only makes "ya ya ya" sounds, it seems to be saying—

"Remember, I'm the senior!"

It sounds incredible, but if it was the store manager's doing, it seems reasonable.

Fa Gui never intended to compete for anything; he simply became more certain of his own position.

"I'm just a new employee at this small shop. The owner of this place, our shop manager, is a very important person."
