What’s wrong with the dream world!

The two people who were entangled let go of each other and looked back at the sound.

In the darkness, a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase was seen standing on the cobblestone road, looking at the two of them in surprise.

There were some tired lines on the middle-aged man's face. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deeply engraved with the hard work day after day. Dark circles were faintly visible, and a hint of fatigue appeared in his eyes.

His suit, though well-cut, was a bit wrinkled, and his shoulders slumped slightly, as if burdened by the day's fatigue and stress. His hair was slightly gray, and the white hair at his temples reflected a faint luster in the light.

"dad……"

Seeing the face that was exactly the same as her adoptive father in real life, Fang Xuehan instinctively said out her usual title - her adoptive father treated both of them very well. Even though he was busy with work, he would take time to care about their studies and life. When the two decided to become superheroes, he used his connections and relationships to find industry insiders to provide professional advice.

In addition, the other party and her mother were truly in love, so Fang Xuehan had long regarded this middle-aged man as her real father.

Then, Fang Xuemu beside her hit her hard on the head.

"Don't use that name! I feel sick when you use my face to call someone else dad." Fang Xuemu cursed in a low voice.

After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Fang Xuehan, who was squatting with her hands covering her head and tears in her eyes, but instead focused her gaze on the middle-aged man in front of her with a smile on her lips.

It really is effortless...

"Guan Weizhong."

Fang Xuemu pronounced the middle-aged man's name without any respect.

Naturally, the surname had nothing to do with his adopted son.

Fang Xuemu knew that the middle-aged man was actually just Yu Xiude's agent... Even though Yu Xiude had never revealed the specific relationship between himself and their stepfather to Fang Xue and her sister, many answers could be obtained from the adoptive father's attitude towards Yu Xiude and his identity as the owner of the natural life personality.

Shadows crept from beneath the black sneakers, bypassing the areas illuminated by the lights and moonlight, and slowly crawled towards the man in her dream who looked exactly like her stepfather in reality. Fang Xuemu wanted to capture the middle-aged man in front of her, torture him, and force him to reveal Yu Xiude's past.

Before this fragmented family was formed, there were secrets that might anger her non-blood-related brother.

Even if no secret was obtained, it didn't matter. Fang Xuemu's goal was to make her brother's always indifferent face turn slightly red.

And if Guan Wei Zhong behaved abnormally in the dream and had omissions in his understanding and memory of Yu Xiu De, Fang Xuemu would also be able to achieve her goal by seizing on this point and mocking Yu Xiu De.

Although it sounds like nitpicking and is dangerous, Fang Xuemu does it just to clear her mind!

But what surprised Fang Xuemu was that in the face of her undisguised malice, Guan Wei Zhong in the dream did not show the slightest fear.

His gaze moved back and forth between Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan, as if wondering why his stepdaughter suddenly became two. His dull and tired face was furrowed with brows, as if he was thinking, and seemed worried.

And no matter what those thoughts were, they eventually turned into a breath of foul air and were exhaled by the tired middle-aged man with a sigh.

"I see……"

The man in the dream, whom Fang Xuemu regarded as the breaking point in the dream, murmured, no longer looking at Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan, but raised his head and looked at the cold bright moon in the sky.

The faint moonlight sprinkled on Guan Wei Zhong's body, and Fang Xuemu's raised mouth corners gradually disappeared. As for Fang Xuehan, who was squatting with her head in her hands, she stood up, and her pure white pupils instinctively began to flash and glow.

Ever since they entered the dream, a creepy feeling of discomfort caused by the dream being too real has been lurking in the hearts of the two. Now, the fear that comes from the deepest level of human psychology suddenly erupts!

In the dream, Guan Weizhong's face gradually showed relief, his eyes were filled with understanding, the corners of his mouth curled up with a bit of relief, and his tone was humble:

"This is your dream."

The man in the dream said this with certainty, and then immediately raised his questions to the bright moon in the sky, or perhaps the entire world.

"Am I also your dream?"

There was no answer. In the dream, Guan Wei Zhong's face showed no anger or fear. He just withdrew his gaze from the high-hanging moon and looked at Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan with a sad look.

"Both of you."

He seemed to realize that the two stepdaughters in front of him were not the stepdaughters in his dream, but tourists in reality who did not belong here.

"Can you tell me, am I real or fake?"

The emotion in these words was so real and heavy that it made Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan feel a little breathless.

……

……

Reality, inside the apartment.

Bang!

"Ow!"

With the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the girl fell on the floor with cushioned pillows and suddenly opened her eyes.

His eyes, one red and one white, were changing rapidly, his expression was terrified, and he was gasping for breath, as if he had woken up from a nightmare.

"You finally woke up."

A faint voice reached the girl's ears.

At the dining table, Yu Xiu De, who was still sitting in the main seat, looked at the girl who rolled off the chair onto the floor, sighed, then bent down and began to pick up the pillows on the floor.

These pillows were specially placed there by Yu Xiu De to prevent Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan from falling directly onto the tile floor of their home without any preparation when they woke up.

Although he could move the girl to the sofa or the bed in the guest room, Yu Xiude, who had a high emotional intelligence, felt that although these two daredevils were still very childish compared to him, they were actually two little adults. After November 11th of this year's federal calendar, they would become adults... He still had to try to avoid unnecessary physical contact and have a sense of boundaries.

"I've already called your stepfather, and your family already knows you two are here with me."

"It's already 9:30 in the evening. I've prepared new bath towels, new toothpaste, and new toothbrushes for you, but I don't have any change of clothes, so you might consider taking a shower and continuing to wear what you're wearing, or go out and buy some before the mall closes."

Yu Xiu De spoke word by word in an organized manner.

The girl, who had regained her consciousness, pushed herself up with both hands and sat upright on the floor. Her chest heaved violently, her eyes were blank, and she seemed to have not yet come to her senses.

Whether it was Fang Xuehan or Fang Xuemu, both of them seemed to have no extra energy to take over their bodies for a moment.

Seeing this, Yu Xiu De continued to speak in a tone that lacked much emotion, half scolding, half comforting:

"Although I told you to have fun, I didn't expect you to be so unrestrained. I should have designed a time limit for you to avoid addiction... But forget it this time. It won't happen again."

"Don't take it too seriously, it's just a dream."

Real Dreamland: Chapter 34 Telescope, Caterpillar

It was just a dream...

After hearing Yu Xiu De's voice in reality, the girl's emotions gradually returned to normal, and her eyes also slowly returned to normal, turning into a uniform pure white.

Fang Xuemu retreated into the depths of her consciousness and hid herself.

Fang Xuehan took over this body.

"Sorry... I won't do that again next time."

As she spoke, she took the hand that Yu Xiu De extended to her and stood up.

The creepy feeling faded away, and another mixed feeling appeared in Fang Xuehan's heart.

She recalled the words and expression of the middle-aged man in her dream before she left, who looked exactly like her adoptive father in real life, always well-mannered but tired.

Doubt, fear, relief…sadness.

It’s as if there really is a person in a dream who knows something about the creator of the dream. When he sees a scene beyond his cognition, he suddenly wakes up and realizes that his existence may just be a dream, and all traces of himself are just the thoughts of others.

If the person in the dream is no different from the person in reality...

If the people in dreams can think like people in reality, have their own cognition, their own memories of the past, and even have emotions...

"..."

Fang Xuehan couldn't bear to think about it anymore!

Yu Xiude saw Fang Xuehan's inner turmoil. He let go of the girl's slightly cold hand, thought for a moment, and said caringly:

"If you're tired, it's okay to go straight to bed after brushing your teeth."

Anyway, after you leave, I still have to clean and replace all the bedding and sheets in the guest room.

Then Yu Xiu De turned around and walked into the master bedroom under Fang Xuehan's stunned gaze.

There was a sound of the door being locked from inside.

A "hypothetical dream" triggered by a "nightmare" was also left on the door to prevent the naughty and rebellious one of the two step-sisters from causing trouble in the middle of the night.

Although I guess that person probably doesn't have the energy to play a prank.

……

……

Fang Xuehan stared blankly at the closed door, then looked up at the 12-hour clock. The hour and minute hands on it were clearly pointing to nine and six, just as Yu Xiude had said.

It's half past nine.

Before the two of them left Yu Xiu De's house, the time in their subjective consciousness was still synchronized with reality. The clock at that time was eight o'clock, which meant that during the more than ten days that Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan spent in their dreams, only an hour and a half had passed in reality.

During this period, they also eat, sleep, go to the toilet, and meet their physiological needs in their dreams...

Fang Xuemu even casually killed several criminals and a familiar-looking wanted criminal in Yu Xiude's dream. Fang Xuehan's phone also received some messages. They were requests from some people for the superhero twins, hoping that Fang Xuehan would treat some difficult patients...

If it weren't for the fact that every time Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan had some desires, those conveniences would be embedded in their dreams in a reasonable way, then the two of them would probably have gotten used to it without realizing it.

The way of existence in which two people are no longer squeezed into one body may even make them addicted to it - after all, one body is still too crowded and incomplete for two complete souls.

Although Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan had experienced the life of two people with two bodies in dreams before, the owner of the dream was always with them at that time. The owner of the dream itself was the link between reality and dreams, and the most firm and solid anchor point for external consciousness.

This time, it was the first time for the two to explore the nightmare dream without Yu Xiu De's guidance.

'Mu? Mu?'

Fang Xuehan called out to her sisters in her heart, but received no response.

This made Fang Xuehan a little panicked for a moment.

After trying to call out in her heart more than ten times without success, Fang Xuehan gritted her teeth and prepared to ask Yu Xiu De for help.

It had only been a minute since Yu Xiu De closed the door. At this point, he shouldn't disturb his brother's rest.

However, just as Fang Xuehan took a step towards Yu Xiude's bedroom door, a familiar, gloomy female voice sounded in her ears, which only she could hear.

"Don't make any noise!"

"I'm thinking."

What to think about?

After hearing Fang Xuemu's response, Fang Xuehan breathed a sigh of relief and became curious about what question her sister was thinking about.

After all, in Fang Xuehan's impression, Fang Xuemu seldom used his brain to think, and even when playing games, he preferred action games that only required reaction speed to win. Although he did play simulation strategy games, he usually showed obvious signs of decline, which even Fang Xuehan, who didn't play games, could see until Fang Xuemu, with a flushed face, entered a mysterious code into the box to reverse the situation.

However, although Fang Xuehan was very curious, she did not ask rashly to disturb her sister's thoughts. Instead, she went into the bathroom, washed up simply, blew her hair, and then walked into the guest room prepared for her by Yu Xiu De, lay on the bed, and closed her eyes.

She was a little sleepy.

It was as if the previous nightmare they had entered did not allow their bodies to get real sleep, so that they would not be unable to sleep all night because of the disruption of their daily routines.

……

……

Outside the apartment, in another high-rise building, a room facing Yu Xiude's living room window was set up as a simple studio.

There was a thin man with short hair and wearing a suit, observing the living room of Yu Xiu De's house through a telescope.

At this moment, Yu Xiude had drawn the living room curtains out of courtesy when Yu Wensong and his colleagues arrived. By the time they left and the young woman entered, the sun had already set—the cool moonlight wouldn't disturb Yu Xiude's sleepiness after returning home. Busy tidying up the guest room and cleaning the dishes, Yu Xiude had forgotten to draw the curtains.

So, through this telescope, you can see everything that happened in the living room, including the girl being invited in by the man, taking the slippers, then entering the living room, sitting at the dining table, chatting with the man for a while and waiting for the man to come in to cook, then leaning back in the chair after dinner, closing her eyes... until she fell asleep on the floor, then got up and said a few words to the man, went into the bathroom, and then walked into the guest room.

"The [Anchor] and the [Anchored] are in harmony. It has been confirmed that Yu Xiude is the [Two-Faced Man]'s anchor."

Yu Wensong stretched his neck after leaving the telescope, and spoke to the staff behind him in a sophisticated tone that was completely different from the immaturity he used when facing Yu Xiude.

"But we still have some new discoveries and some unusual places."

"Submit the data we've collected for information analysis immediately!"
