I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

The Dreamers' Organization at Baijiang University is also an official institution.

The staff is small, and their functions are more research-oriented.

Its full name is the Baekgang University Research Institute, and many of the items used by the Countermeasures Bureau come from the research institute.

Both of the Dream Fallers were wearing silver-white lab coats, which looked like laboratory suits but were actually combat uniforms. Their defense against sharp weapons and resistance to corrosion were much stronger than the clothes the Dream Fallers brought with them.

The black trench coat worn by the Countermeasures Bureau is the same type of standard equipment.

However, these two researchers were clearly wealthier than many of the Countermeasures Bureau's dreamers.

One is a master of the Control stage, and the other is also a master of the Control stage.

On the surface, they are all professors at Baijiang University, with their own research groups and students.

One of them was wearing a pair of special glasses. He adjusted the frames and looked around.

"This nightmare is indeed quite unusual. I saw bright red '囍' characters pasted in the distance. The element of this nightmare may be related to marriage."

Another person who had fallen into a dream first took out some kind of special powder and sprinkled it around, only stopping after he had sprinkled it all around the area.

He began, "Marriage? Ghost marriage? This type of nightmare is quite rare, and the products of a nightmare are closely related to the type of nightmare. I reckon a nightmare like this could yield some rare items."

"Old Jiang, perhaps we could start a research project to study the products of a special nightmare world."

The mentor surnamed Jiang pondered, "I've always wanted to research which types of nightmares yield which treasures, but..."

Researching the treasures that can be discovered and their connection to the nightmare world is acceptable.

The connection between the treasures obtainable from the strategy guide and the nightmares... that's going to be very difficult!

Conquering Nightmare is, after all, a rather difficult and risky task.

Given the unusual nightmare theme of a ghost marriage, Researcher Jiang was eager to explore what cursed items would be obtained after completing the strategy, and whether there would be any additional gains.

Unfortunately, he only thought about it, and reason restrained his restless desires.

Although they are both in the Control stage, and although they possess many tools that others don't have, the strategy is to confront the bizarre...

It was a rather unusual nightmare.

Researcher Jiang ultimately chose to follow his heart.

More on that later.

……

"These two Dream Fallers seem a bit cowardly, even though they look well-equipped and not weak."

Shi An guessed that at least one of them was a Dream Controller in the Control Period, or perhaps both of them were.

When he first met Fa Gui, who was in a period of control, he looked rather haggard, unlike the two others who were in much better spirits.

"If you're this cowardly during the Control stage, you have no future. Look at all the familiar faces I have in the Safe Zone. They can break through Nightmare during the Fusion stage."

But Shi An forgot something.

The dreamers in the safe zone and the dreamers outside...

How can they be the same?

"Find those two to work together on the Nightmare strategy; leave this to Fa Gui."

"Fa Gui is a mature Dream Faller, so he naturally knows what to do."

Shi An doesn't need to worry.

His job is simply to provide logistical support and, when necessary, a safety net.

For example, as a last resort, the Blood Handprint can still be used.

What constitutes a last resort?

It's not a nightmare to conquer.

If you really can't beat the nightmare, you can switch to another one; you don't have to force yourself to stick with this one.

However, if the demon is facing a life-or-death crisis and it's the crucial moment to confront the demon, then having the Blood Handprint step in to save the day and defeat the nightmare in one fell swoop is still acceptable.

"Time is of the essence!"

In recent days, Shi An has naturally made some attempts to test the waters.

If the bloody handprint goes out for a while, it will attract the attention of nightmares.

If the bloody handprint is used, the time it takes for the nightmare to spy on it will be greatly shortened.

What would happen if the nightmare's prying and staring continued for a while? At this point, Ann dared not try it.

He currently only dares to tread the line of danger, testing the limits.

"Speaking of which, the last time a major nightmare struck, we actually happened to respond in the most correct way."

The last time the bloody handprint stepped out of the shop, it was only a short two or three minutes before the Xuan Sword destroyed the polluted core.

The Blood Handprint's actual attack time was even shorter, only twenty or thirty seconds.

This nightmare isn't a major one; it'll only be easier to conquer this one.

And now...

Shi An looked at the bloody handprint not far away.

It has become stronger.

"Employee: Bloody Handprint"

"Abilities: Blood Hand Brand (+), Blood-Hidden Body (+)"

"Note: Consuming 200 Faith Points allows you to upgrade one of your abilities again."

With enough faith points, Shi An upgraded both of Xiao Xue's abilities.

Unfortunately, the Blood Handprint couldn't be fully utilized due to the lack of a training ground in the safe zone, and Shi An was unable to determine its current limits.

But I also learned some things.

The upgraded "Blood Hand Brand" is no longer limited to the form of slapping, but can truly condense into a blood-red hand.

The upgraded "Blood Concealed Body" can transform into mist and rainbows at a faster speed.

"Even in a direct confrontation, the current Blood Handprint could probably be dealt with in a relatively short time. Besides, conquering Nightmare doesn't necessarily require a direct confrontation; there are often many helpful tools available."

……

His strange state remained relatively intact. Upon learning that two more dream-fallen individuals had arrived in this nightmare world, he went out again after only a short rest.

Meanwhile, two researchers in silver lab coats, having formulated a preliminary plan, prepared to begin exploring this nightmare.

But at this time,

Researcher Jiang adjusted his glasses. "Someone's coming over. It looks like a folk remedy for having a dream."

In their eyes, those who fall into dreams but do not come from major organizations are all ordinary people who fall into dreams.

As for whether they come from a large organization, that's easy to tell.

Large organizations all have their own "standard uniforms," ​​such as their own silver-white lab coats.

Fa Gui stopped about ten meters away from the two of them.

He went straight to the point and asked, "You two, would you be interested in working together to conquer this nightmare?"

Having said that, Fa Gui manipulated his natal cursed object, spreading out wisps of cold, sinister curse power.

"It's actually the Control Stage!"

Researchers Jiang and Wang from Baijiang University were somewhat surprised.

Those who have mastered the Control stage are already elites among Dream Fallers, and are rare, especially Dream Fallers from humble backgrounds.

Of course, they were only a little surprised.

They themselves were in a period of control, and they were also from the Baijiang Research Institute.

Thinking of this, they also released strands of the control-stage curse pressure.

Jiang Peng stepped forward and said, "Conquer Nightmare? Indeed, we are somewhat interested."

He really wanted to conquer this nightmare.

However, relying on just the two of them is quite risky.

If there are three people, and all of them are Dream Fallers in the Control Stage...

No, after all, they are just ordinary people who have fallen into dreams.

Jiang Peng then changed his tune, saying, "We are indeed somewhat interested, but you know, this nightmare is rather special. If we treat it like an ordinary nightmare, forget about finding a way to beat it; it's not impossible that we could even be careless and perish here."

"In this situation, do you still want to conquer Nightmare?"

He thought that Fa Gui was simply treating this nightmare as an ordinary nightmare.

For a regular nightmare, with a player in the Control stage leading the team, it is indeed possible to find a way to win.

Even in the event of an accident, there is a certain degree of risk mitigation capability.

But in this one place...

He said cryptically, "Of course, it's precisely because this nightmare is special that it's even more valuable as a strategy guide."
