What’s wrong with the dream world!

The habit of being a know-it-all may not be easy to change, but it is best to restrain yourself and not point fingers at everything, otherwise you will end up suffering the consequences.

Yu Xiu De lightly tossed the contract in his hand, and the dozens of thin papers floated in an orderly manner in front of Yan, who raised his little head proudly.

Facing Yan's puzzled gaze, Yu Xiude said calmly:

"Now that you've made it through, we can finally have a rational conversation."

"It's no longer a hypocritical 'fatherly love and filial piety', but a candid exchange of interests between individuals with free will."

"It's a 'contract'."

Nightmare raised his hands and took the contract.

Only then did it notice that Yu Xiu De's clothes had changed again. The slim-fitting suit and tie around his neck made him look like a businessman who came for negotiations, while also keeping a certain distance from itself on the bed.

This sense of distance made Yan feel at ease but also a little uncomfortable, and his face looked a little lost - he seemed to have forgotten that he would not show emotions in front of Yu Xiu De before.

At this time, the old nun on the side, combined with the conversation between the two, barely understood the current situation.

This world was created by "Great Nightmare". "Great Nightmare" is the true god that conforms to the image of the Creator, and Nightmare is just a passer-by placed in this world by "Great Nightmare".

"The Big Nightmare" did not seem to regard the boy who looked exactly like him as his offspring, but rather as an individual who was trying to get close to him in a shameless manner. The relationship between the two was actually very tense.

It was just that the boy seemed to have passed the test of the "Great Nightmare", so the relationship between the two had eased a little, and the "Great Nightmare" was willing to communicate and negotiate with him...

"...Can I take a look?"

The old nun first stood up from the bed, performed a standard religious salute to Yu Xiude, and then plucked up the courage to speak.

"of course."

Yu Xiu De was somewhat surprised by the unexpected yet reasonable actions of the person he had dreamed of, but he still nodded slightly.

And this is exactly what nightmare means.

Now it is closer to the old nun.

Facing Yu Xiu De's gaze as calm as stagnant water, the old man and the young boy read the contract carefully.

Although there are still many personal opinions unrelated to the contract mixed in between the lines, and the words are spoken only to Yan, pointing out that this world is just a dream that will eventually disappear, and the person you care about is just a person in the dream, no matter how real she is, she is just a person in the dream, just like no matter how human you behave, if you are not a human, you are not a human... and so on.

If it were turned into words, it would probably be a scolding pointed at the nightmare's head.

but……

Nightmare and the old nun raised their eyes at the same time, secretly glanced at the expressionless man, and dismissed the somewhat blasphemous imagination of "God's wrath" in their minds.

Apart from those private matters hidden in their words, neither of them found any major problems in the main business. In a nutshell, Nightmare allowed Nightmare to continue to live in this dream, but accordingly, various rules had to be followed and no traces of ambition could be found.

And, most importantly, when Yu Xiude asks it to do something in reality, it must obey orders and complete the task.

While the Nightmare is away from this dream, the Nightmare will pause the time of this dream until it re-enters.

Yan took a look at it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Instead, he felt that it was quite reasonable.

Even though it really cared about the old nun, it still understood that the old nun's essence was just a dream of a nightmare, and so was the world it had lived in for more than 20 years. It did not think that all this was what it deserved.

But just as Nightmare raised his hand, conjured up a pen, and prepared to sign, the old nun beside him held down his little hand, signaling him not to sign rashly.

Standing next to Yan, she took a deep breath and asked Yu Xiude humbly:

"Since this is a contract, could we please make a small suggestion for you?"

"Okay, I understand."

Yu Xiu De just waved his hand. It seemed that he knew what the person in the dream who was trying to muster up the courage to face the master of the dream wanted to say without the old nun saying anything.

Thus, there was an additional clause on the last page of the contract in Nightmare's hand:

The time interval between two summons of Nightmare is——

Followed by a row of horizontal lines to be filled in.

"We can negotiate the specific time. After all, that's the purpose of a contract. In the absence of something like a 'contract' or something else that's binding, the binding force of this contract comes only from our mutual recognition of it, establishing rules that we both abide by."

Yu Xiu De looked at the smart watch in his hand. Of course, it was not a real smart watch. After all, he couldn't travel into his own dreams, and he had an appointment tonight.

Although the time span in dreams can be adjusted, it also requires conscious adjustment. Yu Xiu De does not want to lose the concept of time because his consciousness stays in the dream for too long.

Nightmare opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He seemed to be worried about something, or trying to figure something out.

The old nun beside her did not interrupt this time.

“…If you’re too shy to speak up, you can write it down first.”

Yu Xiu De, with his hands behind his back, dressed in a suit and tie, looks as if everything is under control and he is calm and composed.

Of course, he couldn't really allow Nightmare to fill in a number that was too long. After all, Nightmare, who had spent a long time in dreams, knew that this "weakness" had a "shelf life" - a long time was enough for a fruit that sprouted from a seed to eventually rot.

The interval is no longer than one month based on the subjective consciousness of dreams, which is the bottom line for Yu Xiude.

Under Yu Xiu De's calm gaze, Yan took a deep breath and put down his pen.

When he sensed the time written by this little monster whose nature was evil but corrected through acquired cultivation, a moment of confusion crossed Yu Xiu De's indifferent face.

But in the end, he nodded slightly, indicating that the contract was established.

Then the whole person quickly faded away and disappeared into the bedroom.

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 167: The Man Who is More Human Than a Man

After Yu Xiu De left, the old nun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her legs went limp and she fell into a chair beside the bed. She took a long breath and pressed her chest.

Although she was old, she had no obvious heart problems, but everything she had just experienced made her feel that her heart was under tremendous pressure.

Although Yu Xiu De did not give her a huge visual shock, neither his eyes nor his tone showed any obvious superiority.

But that kind of calm temperament is like a bottomless ocean. No matter the people floating on the boat want to delve into the darkness inside through the sea surface, or just look at the endless horizon with no shore in sight, they will only feel depressed and fearful.

If I were swallowed by the sea...

"Are you OK?"

A worried child's voice rang in her ears, interrupting the old nun's thoughts.

Yan held the stack of contracts in his hand and looked at the old nun with worry on his face.

The old nun gave a forced smile.

"...I'm fine, I just need to take a break."

After all, before Yu Xiu De really appeared, the old nun only believed Yan's words to about 60% or 70%, and she was mentally prepared, but not much.

No matter what, one's past life, one's personality, and even the world one lives in are nothing more than a dream of a certain existence. It is too absurd and too unbelievable.

His calmness just now and the courage to bargain "increased", all came from the old nun's concern for Nightmare and Yu Xiude's peaceful attitude. She wanted Nightmare to be controlled by the "Big Nightmare" for a longer period of time so that he could get enough rest.

only……

“Why did you fill out one day on that contract?”

the old nun asked, half worried and half confused.

From the contract with detailed rules, she could at least see that the world she was in was the dream of the "Great Nightmare", and the place where the "Great Nightmare" usually moved around was the "Great Nightmare"'s reality, and the flow of time between the two was completely under the control of the "Great Nightmare".

In other words, if you fill in a day, then the nightmare in the dream will be called out almost every day. Although I won't notice anything wrong because of the "dream pause", can this child bear it...

The old nun did not express these concerns out loud, but Nightmare, like a nightmare, understood the old nun's heart without the need for verbal communication.

Nightmare needs to restrain itself when reading minds to avoid distortion of the dream here, but it doesn't need to, because this is not its dream.

"Don't worry. Even though it may seem a little immature, I'm still a 'Oreil' after all! This kind of subjective pressure is nothing to me."

Yan put his hands on his hips, held his head high and chest puffed out, trying his best not to worry the old nun.

It did not think that others were puppets that could be manipulated at will because it could read the old nun's mind in the dream, like most people with the "spiritual" fate. Instead, it felt that the old nun's existence became more real.

After all, this is a dream...

Yan solemnly folded the contract, looked towards where Yu Xiude left, and said softly:

"I just have a confusion in my mind and want answers quickly."

Nightmare still couldn't recall what happened in the dream within the dream, but the remaining emotions in the dream within the dream were enough to shatter the filter that No. 13 had inadvertently put on it since birth.

Once the filter is broken, it can never be restored.

He was finally able to examine his original body's nightmare somewhat objectively. Although he still wanted to get close to Yu Xiu De, he still found that something was wrong with Yu Xiu De.

He took everything too lightly, and it seemed that it was not because he had experienced too much in dreams, but because it was his nature. From the beginning, he was not confused about the boundary between real dreams and real reality.

His way of thinking doesn't seem like that of a human, whether in a dream or in reality...but Yan can be sure that Yu Xiu De is definitely a human.

Was it because he was a so-called "person with a divine life character," a person who was defined as more human than human in reality...?

Nightmare didn't know, after all, it was just a little monster that had lived in the nightmare dream for more than 20 years.

But it was still curious and wanted to get close to Yu Xiu De.

I am especially curious about what the first nightmare dream looks like.

……

……

Yu Xiu De, who didn't know that he was almost expelled from the human race by the nightmare again, woke up in reality after leaving his dream.

The pure white moonlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and streamed into the bedroom, allowing Yu Xiude, who had spent nearly four days in a dream, to confirm the current time and the fact that the layout of his bedroom had not changed even after living in that apartment modeled after reality for more than twenty years.

"My dreams are so real that they could give a monster a childhood..."

Perhaps it also has something to do with the nature of nightmare.

After all, Nightmare is a dream creature born from the corpses of people with double-digit dream domain horoscopes, the dreams of hundreds of thousands of people, and the power of faith deliberately guided by No. 13. Although it is not a human, it is not incomprehensible that it has human characteristics.

It's just that this inhuman little monster actually has enough humanity to expel himself from the human race...

When he thought about what happened in the dream within the dream, and the final action of Nightmare that was like a moth to a flame, Yu Xiu De couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Or it’s because of lack of experience.

He got up from the bed and went to the living room. He looked at the smart watch and mobile phone on the table in the living room and found that the information had almost been transferred.

Yu Xiu De looked at his empty wrist; the simulated smartwatch in his dream had long since disappeared.

Then Yu Xiu De put the real smart watch on his wrist and set it to offline mode again.

Nightmare actually doesn't know much about information technology. This subject, which relies on the rapid development of science and technology, is a bit difficult for him, but at least he understands that when you are connected to the Internet, you may have no privacy at all.

Traveling between reality and dreams may cause data errors on some information networks. This is also one of the reasons why Yu Xiu De will not bring the smart watch in his dream out of reality.

Because the last time Zhu Yajing and Zhu Qin came to visit him, he used his consciousness to enter the dream.

And now, he was ready to travel directly into Zhu Yajing's dream.

Wearing a smart watch, Yu Xiu De disappeared into the living room.

More than ten minutes later, in the empty living room, the screen of the mobile phone on the table suddenly lit up, filled with a large amount of data, and flashed rapidly, illuminating the dark living room with flickering and startling lights.

It’s like something ominous might crawl out of your phone screen at any moment.

But eventually, the flickering frequency gradually slowed down, the brightness of the phone screen gradually decreased, and finally the screen went off again.

No...

Can’t appear in nightmare dreams…

Will be discovered...

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 168 Polite Fish

Next door to Yu Xiude.

As agreed, Zhu Yajing wore pajamas and lay on the big bed instead of on the floor.

This was her mother's bedroom, so she didn't have to sleep on the floor in the same bedroom with Zhu Yueyu.

Because Zhuqin was worried that someone next to her would disturb Zhu Yajing when she fell asleep, she gave up her room and slept with her little daughter who had been working hard to lose weight all day.

Zhu Yueyu, who had a good sleep, had no idea what had happened yesterday. Zhu Qin only told her that she had taken Zhu Yajing to the hospital last night and discovered a "medical miracle." That's why this mother, who often worked overtime on weekends, had taken time off to stay home on weekdays, taking care of the housework so that Zhu Yajing could rest well.

By the way, supervise Zhu Yueyu to lose weight.

This made the fat girl feel sincerely happy for her sister, but at the same time, she let out a little cry in her heart because she was severely disciplined today.
