"Can we find another way..."

Seeing the confused look of the man in black, he quickly added:

"After all, nightmares don't exist. If this lie were to be exposed, wouldn't the Federation's credibility be diminished?"

The men in black all glanced at No. 13 with some surprise, but unfortunately, they could not see through No. 13's heart, nor did they have the ability to see No. 13's facial expression through the bandages.

"I didn't expect your awareness to be so high..."

The leading man in black sighed, thinking that the other party had indeed gone astray because no one guided him since childhood, but he was still a good person in essence. Now that he has returned to the right path and accepted the benefits of the Federation, he has begun to consider the Federation.

Therefore, he patiently answered:

"In reality, after the Federation provided legal preferential treatment to those of you with destiny, ordinary people no longer had high expectations in this regard. Manipulating public opinion is simply to make ordinary people feel better and more receptive."

"Credibility from ordinary people has never been the foundation for the Federation's existence and sustainability; it's merely the icing on the cake. Recognition from those of you who possess destiny is the very foundation of the Federation."

The man in black spoke in a calm tone, as if he was saying something common sense that was not worth making a fuss about, even though he himself was just an ordinary person.

Although No. 13 felt a little complicated, he did not refute the man in black's point of view. After all, he himself was an example.

If he were fully prepared, he could even pull hundreds of thousands of people from a first-tier city with a population of tens of millions into their dreams. If he hadn't been blocked by other fate holders, he could even successfully drag all the ordinary people in Qianpeng City into a "real dreamland"...

In the Federation, no, even in this world, the fate holders are the ones who decide the power of a government or a country. The seemingly equal social environment of the Federation is actually only because there are high-ranking fate holders who like such an environment. In essence, it is still supported by the fate holders rather than ordinary people.

Number Thirteen did not give up. He planned to follow the logic of the man in black and continue to struggle.

"But Nightmare is my past belief after all. For those of us who hold the fate in the realm of faith, putting all the blame on others..."

"Father, please understand the current situation."

The man in black spoke in a more serious tone.

"The Federation needs the approval of all fate holders, but that doesn't mean it needs everyone. Just like the dissatisfaction of one or two citizens doesn't represent the entire population."

"If you are someone worthy of respect and someone who contributes to the Federation, then let's not even talk about public opinion. We can even create a series of personal merchandise for you, write memoirs for you, and create biographical films based on you."

"But please remember, you are just a super criminal now, and the Federation will not blindly accommodate those with fate."

"Although you didn't commit a serious crime, nor did you cause much damage, you did cause an extremely bad impact!"

"Clearing your name is already an extra service to you. Don't add any extra burden to the federal government."

Don't be shameless.

Although the man in black refrained from saying anything, his meaning was self-evident.

No. 13 stopped talking. The other party's reasons were very sufficient, and if he continued to resist, he might reveal his flaws.

Although there was an option to refuse to sign, No. 13 considered it for a long time and finally chose to sign the contract.

After all, a false notoriety, or even a false criminal, would certainly not trigger a serious federal investigation. Even if it caused a very bad reputation, the worst that could happen was that one could take the blame after getting out.

If you can pass on the blame, you can also take it back.

The most urgent thing is to get out of prison and then remind Number Six!

Number Six is in danger now!

Even without mentioning Zero, there's still a pillar of the Federation watching him! Although it's unknown why this pillar of the Federation didn't report the existence of Nightmare, and even the man in black before him thinks Nightmare is fake... that crazy woman is definitely plotting something bad against Six!

I must go out and remind Number Six!

Not knowing the specific relationship between Xu Yuanjie and Yu Xiude, and having never seen the two of them together, Number Thirteen signed the contract with a heavy heart, while secretly swearing in his heart:

"I will definitely save you from this danger, Number Six!"

……

……

Nightmare, who had already fallen asleep at this time, did not realize No. 13's "utter loyalty" to him.

After all, Number Thirteen didn't have any dreams about him.

However, his dream at this moment was related to Number Thirteen.

Like No. 13, Yu Xiu De does not regard "Yan" as a normal child, but unlike No. 13, Yu Xiu De does not regard "Yan" as a tool without subjectivity.

Instead, he is a little monster with an extremely evil nature, a mind as deep as the abyss, and an expert in disguise. He needs to be beaten and taught a lesson.

Although the first two attempts failed, [Nightmare] did not give up.

He summed up his experience and thought that the time in the dream was not long enough, and the several backup people he secretly planted were discovered by the nightmare, so it was so obedient, and even pretended to be a filial son and grandson in front of him, while creating a super righteous personality for itself that punished evil and promoted good.

So the dream educator cleared out all the dream images that were stronger than the nightmare, leaving only the weaker dreamers in the nightmare, and at the same time extended the dream time by more than twenty years.

Even though the reality is that less than a whole day has passed.

In this dream, there is no way to suppress its existence. Once there is no discipline and punishment, in the more than 20 years that have passed like reality, this dream monster, which was born from the corpses of two-digit dream realm fate owners who were considered guilty by the [Priest] and was enlightened by fear by the [Nightmare], will definitely reveal its true nature!

Yu Xiude appeared out of nowhere in the dream, as inconspicuous as a drop of water falling into the ocean, blending into the crowd on the street and casually took a leaflet from a missionary.

He did not read everything in the dream as the master of the dream as soon as he entered the dream, because this would directly destroy the dream.

Just as someone will wake up when he realizes that he is dreaming, although nightmares can still exist in the dream when he is awake, if he regards himself as the omnipotent master of the dream, then the dream will instantly be distorted and chaotic.

Then by that time, the nightmare will not know clearly what it did or did not do, because the amount of information is too much.

Glancing at the booklet in his hand, which had a cover that was not much different from the "Real Dreamland" brochure, Yu Xiu De's lips curled up slightly.

at last.

This little monster, who was proficient in disguise, finally got his chance...

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 157: The Voice of Filial Piety

There is nothing wrong with revealing your true nature.

No matter how experienced an educator is, only by understanding the nature of children can he or she teach them in accordance with their aptitude, help them establish true self-awareness, and let them face their own emotions and behaviors.

No matter how skilled a tamer is, only if he understands the true habits of wild animals can he take preventive measures in advance, adopt appropriate incentives and punishments, and reduce the psychological and physiological problems caused by suppressing their nature.

Yu Xiu De, with a slight smile on his lips, took a step forward with ease on the street.

The next moment, he appeared in front of the gate of the largest and most solemn church in the world.

In order to avoid distortion of dreams, he cannot be omniscient and omnipotent, but on the premise of knowing and being unable to do something, [Nightmare] can still do a lot of things in dreams.

He studied the closed church door.

It is engraved with intricate patterns and various designs with extraordinary meanings, full of sacred religious connotations.

However, the faint light leaking out from the dark sky crawled weakly on the surface of the building, making this church, which should have been extremely sacred, look extremely strange and gloomy.

Furthermore, there was no one outside the church, while through the cracks in the door inside the church, overlapping and ethereal hymns could be heard...

The whole place looks like a cult's lair!

It can be seen that Yu Xiu De's brows became more and more relaxed, and the arc of the corner of his mouth, which was originally one pixel, became two pixels.

This little monster really learned bad habits from No. 13.

Finally found a reasonable excuse.

Yu Xiude placed his hand on the door and gently pushed it back, while muttering to himself inwardly as a dream educator:

"Nightmare with an evil nature, I will personally kill you..."

Yu Xiude opened the church door.

The lights inside the church were dim, with only a few candles flickering in the corners, emitting a faint light that could barely illuminate a small area around it, making the shadows appear even deeper and more eerie.

On the altar directly in front of him stood a huge, strangely shaped fleshy statue, which was the original image of the nightmare.

Inside the church, there was a group of people dressed in purple robes, very similar to the real dreamland missionaries in reality, as well as priest clothes similar to the one worn by No. 13, and more complicated bishop clothes. They were divided into two groups, gathered on both sides, and knelt on the ground.

They sang in a low voice:

"Great Nightmare, thank you for granting me peace every night. May my dreams be filled with light and hope. Please let me experience your love and grace in my dreams, so that our hearts may be comforted and enlightened."

In front of the altar, there was an old nun wearing a purple robe and a purple nun's hat. She closed her eyes and faced Yu Xiude, her dry lips moving as she whispered praises.

"Honorable Nightmare, thank you for punishing sinners every night. May the dreams of those who are guilty be filled with suffering and fear. Please let sinners experience your evil and punishment in their dreams, so that the deceased can rest in peace and the living can find comfort."

The old voice echoed in the church, making people feel creepy, but also inexplicably sacred.

But when Yu Xiude opened the door, the voices of the old nun who looked distinguished standing in front of the sculpture, and the bishops and monks on both sides all stopped abruptly.

They all turned their eyes to the figure that disturbed them, with expressions of anger or confusion on their faces.

I am angry that today is Christmas Day. How could an uninvited guest dare to offend the true God on earth and disturb such an important festival of the only savior of the world?

I don’t understand how this uninvited guest got in and why, when ordinary believers are prohibited from entering and leaving the church and there are security patrols.

Their "Real Dreamland" is the first Orthodox church recognized by all countries. The Christmas period is as important as the National Day of many countries. The security force of the "Real Dreamland" headquarters is also the strongest during this period.

The faint light from outside the church door shone on the uninvited guest, but did not reveal his specific appearance. Instead, his face looked like a shadow, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

The figure in a white shirt and suit pants, with his feet invisible, spread deep into the candlelit church, like the embodiment of the mastermind behind the scenes, quickly spreading to the sculptures in the church and connecting with them.

Like the devil touching the apple.

In an instant, all the dissatisfaction, all the anger, and all the fear disappeared.

Those eyes that were on Yu Xiu De all turned away as if they had been electrocuted.

All they could hear was the pounding of their own hearts and a calm male voice, whose words were clearly heard in every corner of the church.

"Nightmare, I know you are here."

"Don't you have anything you want to explain to me about everything you've done in this dream for over twenty years?"

"You should only be able to absorb their fear, not their faith."

Yu Xiu De could see that these believers were emitting a strong power of faith.

However, these powers of faith did not show regular distribution, arrangement, and combination like the "real dreamland" in reality, but grew wildly and disorderly like weeds on the roadside.

This means that Nightmare does not utilize the power of faith.

After all, it was born from the corpse of the owner of a two-digit dream realm destiny, so its food is still limited to the fear born in dreams. In other words, creating religion is not its instinctive need, but a self-need that is higher than its instinct. Yu Xiu De feels that this need should come from its original creator... Number Thirteen.

Now that he knows this, Yu Xiu De, as a dream educator, has a clear idea of how to educate and how to approach the issue.

After all, whether it is for humans or animals, playing with food is an undesirable bad habit that needs to be corrected.

……

When everyone present heard the voice, they all showed expressions of fear and suspicion.

The fear comes from the fact that the information revealed in Yu Xiu De's words is too terrifying when one thinks about it carefully, and the suspicion also comes from the fact that the information revealed in Yu Xiu De's words is too terrifying when one thinks about it carefully.

What does it mean to be in a dream that lasts for more than twenty years? Although the great nightmare did appear in everyone’s sight more than twenty years ago...but that shouldn’t be the case, right?

How can the world we live in be a dream?

That's right... Impossible... This person must be just a blasphemer, a heretic who came to disrupt the party...

But before these unaware people in the dream could convince themselves, a clear child's voice that was most familiar to the believers and had not changed in more than 20 years rang out in the church.

The voice that was originally the most sacred in the ears of these believers and came from their lifelong faith, uttered the most blasphemous words.

Just one word, but it is better than thousands of words of insults and curses from heretics.

"father!"

Nightmare made a filial voice.

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 158 The Education of Inertia

This call was like a thunderclap, which instantly stunned everyone present.

Almost everyone's brain seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and their consciousness fell rapidly into the center of the universe and fell into chaos.

"father?"

Everyone was filled with doubts.

Whose father is this? What kind of father is this?

Among the church members with different expressions, only the old nun showed a look of sudden enlightenment, as if she had heard of Yu Xiu De a long time ago.

As the sound rang out, the nightmare in front of Yu Xiu De was quickly outlined like a sketch, and then colored.
