What’s wrong with the dream world!

Late at night, at ten o'clock, the Qianpeng City Municipal Building was still brightly lit.

Normally, most of the staff here have already left work, but thanks to one or two people, in order to ensure that the powerful person with a destiny from another city will not affect the daily lives of most local citizens, officials with a certain status and a higher level of confidentiality have prepared coffee and are ready to work late into the night.

Harmonious Coexistence Bureau, Supervisory Department, Municipal Government, Military Region...

Inside the conference room, the sound of flipping through documents could be heard one after another, and analysts who had received reports from frontline observers were engaging in heated debates.

Because of the latest news brought by Yu Wensong, they discussed many issues this time, including but not limited to reconfirming Yu Xiude's qualifications as an "anchor"; observing the specific relationship between the two in order to construct a social model; and attempting to find any trace of the super criminal "Dream Invader" who had disappeared from the world...

Although they could not leave hidden eavesdropping devices or surveillance cameras in Yu Xiu De's home, which were too obviously intrusive on privacy and easy to be discovered, they would still take other measures, such as observing through a telescope from another building, which was a way to collect information in a way that was not easily discovered but just stepped on the line.

However, this method does not always work. For example, some people with this fate even have the ability to perceive sight... and for such people, local government officials usually take other measures.

If the superheroes [Twins] were not the owners of a destiny registered by the Federation, and if [Two-Face]'s destiny had not been previously recorded in the Federation's database, confirming that it did not involve the "omniscience" realm of "seeing everything" or similar characteristics, then they might not have resorted to using a telescope to observe.

……

……

"The organization has decided that this federal citizen named Yu Xiude will be the anchor of this term of Two-Face."

"I don't think so—this man named Yu Xiude, while clearly not the owner of the Fate, behaves eccentrically. The Fate's owner's 'anchor' must be someone who embodies the Federation's core values and aligns with the Federation's spirit. Otherwise, how can we ensure that the 'anchor' doesn't lead the 'Two-Faced Man,' who only has a minor flaw, astray?"

"But the choice of the 'anchor' isn't ours, is it? Furthermore, individuals with inherently unstable fates like Two-Face are already recorded in the Federation's database. The previous Two-Face was a psychopathic serial killer who liked to decide lives by flipping a coin, with a confirmed murder record of 981 people. For someone with such an inherently unstable fate to actually have an 'anchor' and to have taken the initiative to become a superhero is truly a blessing."

"That's right. Although this 'Anchor' seems a bit withdrawn and has a somewhat eccentric personality, he has a stable job, his social connections are limited but not completely absent, and he abides by the law without a bad record. This current 'Two-Face' is lucky to have an 'Anchor', yet he's still nitpicking."

"Yeah yeah……"

Although there was no consensus among the people in the meeting room, overall, they were more inclined to maintain the attitude of the daytime, confirming Yu Xiu De's identity as an "anchor", and at the same time establishing Yu Xiu De as an "anchor" with a high-level destiny at the legal level.

After determining the anchor of a fate owner, although it is inconvenient to disclose the identity due to the special nature of the "anchor", the "anchor" also enjoys the same treatment and convenience as the owner of the anchored fate.

Just as the argument was about to die down, a man wearing a military coat, with a weathered face, a stern gaze, and several medals on his chest, who looked like an officer, spoke up:

"You're all discussing the 'anchor,' but I'm focusing on another issue. If this 'Two-Faced Man' loses control, what can we do? How much resources will it take to suppress her without relying on the fate holder, or even... destroy her!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room instantly quieted down, and everyone focused their attention on the man who was speaking, with different expressions on their faces.

Although this is not a topic that cannot be touched upon, it can easily touch the sensitive nerves of everyone present.

The rampage and loss of control of fate holders have always been a serious problem that has plagued local governments. Even though the highest rulers of the federation are basically fate holders, there may not be a distinction between high and low among fate holders, but there are still subjective and objective differences in strength and weakness; danger and safety; emotional stability and easy loss of control.

People like Two-Face, who are powerful but show symptoms of split personality and emotional instability, are the ones that the Federation needs to pay special attention to.

Someone raised objections to the officer. The person, wearing the uniform of the Supervisory Office, looked at the representative of the military district and expressed his opinion:

"I don't think there's any need to make a fuss. According to the information provided by the station, the 'anchor' booked a ticket for the Two-Faced Man from Qianpeng City back to Narrow Sea City at 8:30 pm tomorrow morning... How to suppress the Two-Faced Man after he gets out of control is a problem that our colleagues in Narrow Sea City need to consider."

"Besides, we don't necessarily need to exclude the fate holders. We can also borrow the power of those powerful fate holders in our local area."

What the officials of the Supervisory Office said made sense. As they were in charge of managing the city's security, they had obviously dealt with more people with these fates. They knew that in addition to the so-called superheroes, there were still many people with these fates who integrated into society in their own way and were willing to establish temporary cooperation with the Supervisory Office... Not to mention that as a first-tier city, Qianpeng City itself was not short of powerful superheroes.

Hearing his opinion being refuted like this, the officer stood up with a snap, slammed the table, and glared at him:

"So what you're saying is, between 10 pm tonight and 8 am tomorrow, we're not making any preparations and are putting the lives of ordinary people in the hands of an undisciplined, unorganized group..."

After holding it in for a while, because those who understood would understand, the officer finally did not say the word "freak" out loud, but instead used the official title "fate owner".

He doesn't make mistakes.

Although he, like most ordinary soldiers in the Federation, was somewhat repulsive to those with destiny who were generally undisciplined and disobeyed orders, he would not forget that some of his superiors, even his immediate superiors—

Also the owner of the destiny.

Real Dreamland: There is a problem with Chapter 36!

"What does it mean to disregard the lives of citizens?"

"It refers to the inaction of your Supervisory Office!"

"Inaction?! You... you guys, out of touch with society and only know how to beg for money from the Federation, have no idea! If we impose martial law simply because Two-Faced stayed for less than a day, then who will bear the economic losses of Qianpeng City? Who will pay for your military expenses? And who will bear the responsibility for leaking the news and forcing the potentially cooperative fate holders to oppose the Federation? Just you?"

"Officials from the Supervisory Office are always good at flattering others and confusing the public... I'm merely representing the military, targeting this current 'Two-Face'. She clearly possesses the ability to kill other fate holders across cities, yet she's not reporting it. I seriously doubt her safety!"

"Hmph! Speaking only for myself, I suspect you're a potential anti-fate advocate, a conservative intent on obstructing reforms to the superhero system... If I remember correctly, ever since the birth of the [Federal Girl], the public has been calling for cuts to your government's spending. After all, your vast army, equipped with the most advanced equipment, is less effective than one person in annihilating an enemy nation!"

"you……!"

Feeling touched in the sore spot, the officer gritted his teeth and looked at the Inspectorate staff who also stood up opposite him, while the middle-aged man in police uniform also looked at him fearlessly.

Although the Supervisory Office is mainly responsible for maintaining social order, enforcing laws, preventing and investigating crimes; handling daily social affairs and civil disputes, it plays a role in protecting the safety of residents in local communities.

However, due to the existence of "fate", a very abstract, immeasurable, and unrestricted "weapon" unique to individuals, the Supervisory Office, which is responsible for maintaining internal social order, is actually in a position almost the same as the military, which obeys military orders, conducts military operations, and maintains territorial integrity.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the white-haired old man sitting in the main seat of the conference room, who was also here during the day and was the mayor of Qianpeng City, spoke kindly:

"Oh! Don't get excited, don't get excited."

"Whether it's Major General Shen or Director Bai, they're all serving the people. If there's anything, can't they just sit down and talk?"

The old man's leisurely voice eased the atmosphere in the meeting room and also extinguished two powder kegs that were ready to explode.

After hearing the words from the person in the main seat, the two people who stood up looked at each other. Although they still disliked the person opposite them, they sat down again.

In the Federation, the conflict between the Inspectorate and the military has been going on for a long time, especially since the Inspectorate implemented the so-called superhero system, the relationship has become even worse.

The federal military has also been trying to recruit fate holders, but due to the special nature of soldiers, they cannot give fate holders too much freedom and privileges, which greatly suppresses the nature of fate holders - and even causes dissatisfaction among fate holders.

It is difficult for ordinary people to control the owner of this fate, just like a blind person cannot teach a person with normal sight to walk.

Even without considering the rare number, even the owner of the fate pattern finds it difficult to control the other owners of the fate pattern. The collision of geniuses in different fields does not necessarily give rise to sparks of thought, but is more likely to result in nothing happening... or a devastating explosion.

The owner of this fate is a genius who possesses unique skills, and genius cannot be defined or even led.

They are like the first person to discover fire, the first person to write, and the first person to create tools. They never stand on the shoulders of giants, they are giants themselves.

And they will not be trampled underfoot and used as a path for others. Even if some [fate] exists for one, two, or three generations, the information of the predecessors is only for reference. The characteristics of the same concept of [fate] in different people will also be different, which makes the owner of the fate only able to comprehend the wild growth on his own.

But the superheroes launched by the Inspectorate are different.

Because compared to the military and the positions tailored for those with this fate by the Federation, superheroes are really too free.

All you have to do is complete the commissions that the Inspectorate has carefully selected from the public that interest you, and do something brave to help others. You will get money and have a high social status. If you don't want your identity to be exposed, the Inspectorate will even help you conceal it - isn't that too cool?

Less work, more money, closer to home, win!

The surveillance department is pretty cool too.

The limited power of pardon for killing, which the owners of this fate did not have subjectively in the past but did exist objectively, can be condensed into unlimited law enforcement power. By spending a little effort to guide public opinion and letting these extremely destructive individuals find something to do, the hidden social risks posed by the idle owners of this fate can be eliminated, and some helpers who can always play an unexpected role in some difficult matters can be found!

Sales soared! Work stress plummeted! Win!

How could the Supervisory Office not protect those who have the destiny to become superheroes?!

Therefore, in the eyes of the military, there is a big problem with the Inspectorate that allows qualified personnel to be free and undisciplined; and in the eyes of the Inspectorate, the military, which does not know how to adapt to local conditions and keep pace with the times, is complacent and does not allow others to make progress.

……

……

The old mayor smiled and tried to smooth things over:

"Director Bai's idea is correct. After all, the Two-Faced Man will depart for Narrow Sea City at 8 o'clock tomorrow. We don't need to waste a lot of resources on an insignificant possibility."

Glancing to the side, he noticed the officer's expression change, and the old mayor said calmly:

"However, Major General Shen's thoughts are very thoughtful. After all, although the Two-Faced Man will return to Xiaohai City tomorrow morning, according to my intelligence, she is very likely to apply to our Qianpeng Fate University when the school starts in September..."

"By then, not only the Two-Faced Man, but also many young people from all corners of the world will come to this city. Although we are very confident in the capabilities of the Supervisory Office, we still need to take precautions and make as many necessary preparations as possible to avoid affecting the lives of citizens."

Hearing the old mayor's thoughtful words, everyone present nodded.

At this moment, a man dressed in a white coat, thick black-framed glasses, and dressed like a scholar hesitated for a moment, but still raised his hand and told about his discovery and... concerns.

Experts have long speculated that the super criminal Dream Invader should have died near Yu Xiude's apartment!

But in reality, they currently have no direct evidence to confirm that Two-Face is directly related to the disappearance of the Dreamer. Moreover, disappearance is not death, and the death of the super criminal is only one-sided according to Two-Face.

And the "Two-Faced Man" once finished his meal at the dining table, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep for an hour and a half.

So, is there a possibility that the [Dream Person] is not actually dead, or...

There is another person whose destiny involves the realm of dreams. Is he nearby?

Real Dreamland: Chapter 37 That Adult

Hearing the speculation of the professionals from the Harmonious Coexistence Bureau, the old mayor frowned slightly.

While this possibility does exist, the likelihood that there is actually another owner of a destiny involving the realm of dreams is quite small.

Firstly, why is it such a coincidence that there is another person with a destiny involving the dream realm who just happens to deal with the super criminal dream invader?

Secondly, why didn’t the owner of that fate take the initiative to go to the Supervisory Office to claim the reward after solving the dream invader, but instead let the [Two-Faced Man] announce it to the outside world?

And just before the announcement, a silent phone call happened between the two people who had not been in contact for two years, and then the "Two-Faced Man" immediately arrived...

The old mayor understood.

There were still some people in the conference room who felt that Yu Xiu De himself was suspicious.

In modern times, especially in the first-tier cities of the Federation, public cameras are quite popular. Although people's daily lives are inseparable from mobile phones and the Internet, various harassing calls and endless big data push still prove that it is quite easy to collect a person's information and it is difficult to guard against it.

Even for some dangerous and powerful fate holders, as long as the fate holder does not involve the fields of "omniscience", "mystery", "rules", etc., even if they are like the [Federal Girl] who can destroy a small country by their own strength, the Federation can collect information to a limited extent and take preventive measures.

In the realm of "dreams", Yu Xiu De, who is a [Nightmare], is unmatched, but his current destiny has not developed to involve other areas. He just delved deep enough into dreams, so he will still be caught in his omissions.

The old mayor tapped the table with his index finger, his kind face showing a thoughtful expression, while some of the people around the conference table began to refute the previous professional's point of view.

The arguments of the opponents are equally clear.

If the owner of a fate does not proactively report their fate to the Federation, they are practically destroying themselves.

No matter what the owner of that fate wants to do, whether he is a good person, a bad person, a criminal, or a law-abiding citizen, he should report his fate to the Federation.

Because the federal law has extremely exaggerated preferential treatment for people with this fate. Even if they are super criminals, as long as they don't encounter violent superheroes like Two-Face who are "too lazy to talk and not worthy of listening" or other people with extreme fate who are brave and righteous, if they are just arrested, they will usually not be sentenced to death, and they will have the opportunity to regain their freedom by making meritorious contributions.

Although the fate of those who are caught by the Federation and conceal the facts will be very miserable, as long as they report it voluntarily, the Federation will not hold them accountable.

There will also be certain benefits in ordinary life, such as shopping discounts, convenience in employment and schooling...this is just the standard configuration for people with ordinary fate.

This is not a rule unique to the Federation. Preferential treatment of fate holders runs through the history of almost every country and region in the world. It has become a common tradition and modern concept that the general public, including the fate holders themselves, are familiar with... It's just that the Federation is the first country to standardize it into law.

So for most people, they simply cannot understand why someone with this fate would want to hide their identity... It's just like a genius disguised as a mediocre person, or a normal person disguised as a disabled person. It is an abstract act that neither conforms to the universal morality of this world nor has any practical benefits.

However, although the old mayor did not completely believe the somewhat bold speculation of the Harmonious Coexistence Bureau, he did not intend to put it aside and pretend that he had heard nothing.

As an experienced old man in a high position, the old mayor subjectively felt that the possibility of such disguise was minimal, but objectively, he had indeed seen one or two people with mental problems who tried every means to cover up their own problems while using crude means to use their fate to satisfy their selfish desires without reporting to the federal government - the kind of selfish desires that would affect many ordinary people.

There is nothing much to say about the owners of this kind of fate. They are indeed the best of the best, and the Federation does give preferential treatment to them - but the premise is that you have to abide by the rules, know your limits, and not affect the lives of other owners of this fate.

The lives of some of the top fate holders include the vast majority of people who live and work in peace and contentment.

……

……

The old mayor nodded slightly, intending to take "Yu Xiu De himself is also the owner of the destiny, and is suspected to be a higher-level and more powerful person than the [Dream Man] who designed the 'Dream' field" as an idea, and ordered the Supervisory Office and the Harmonious Coexistence Bureau to follow up simultaneously.

After all, although Yu Xiude's file seemed to be fine, it was not perfect, whether it was the blank before the orphanage, or...

Drip—drip—

Just as the old mayor was thinking about Yu Xiu De's second doubt, suddenly, he felt a vibration in his waist.

His cell phone rang.

The old mayor frowned.

Because he has two mobile phones, one is used to handle daily affairs and has been adjusted to silent mode so as not to interfere with the meeting, and the other one... is used to prevent him from missing more important information because of this meeting.

When the old mayor opened it, his face changed drastically and his expression froze.

The word "pillar" popped up on the screen.

[Pillar] is the title given to powerful individuals who participate in the governance of the federal system. The political status of these individuals is only second to that of the six permanent members of the federal council. Those six individuals hold the highest power in the federation...

For an official of the old mayor's level, being able to see a "pillar" is a rare opportunity.

The old mayor's heart sank slightly, and different possibilities flashed through his mind. He hesitated for a moment, but still held the phone with both hands, hunched over slightly, and prepared to answer the call.

But before he could open his mouth, silver chains as thin as gossamer suddenly stretched out from the screen close to his ear!

They penetrated the old mayor's skin and drilled into his ears without leaving a drop of blood and without anyone in the conference room noticing, including the old mayor himself.
