What’s wrong with the dream world!

Yu Wensong, who had originally followed the advice of his colleagues and thought he could leave work early and live a life of idleness and drawing a salary, was predicted in advance by his pot-bellied boss, who asked him to continue to perform his duties as an "anchor" operator as usual with quality and quantity, without violating the updated law.

This forced Yu Wensong, who had just started his work, to park his car near Yu Xiude's workplace and wait - waiting in a public place can't be considered as intrusion, right?

Moreover, his boss might be worried about this kind of skirting the law behavior, so only Yu Wensong was responsible for this task.

Yu Wensong believes that he is being regarded by his leaders as a new pathfinder in the harmonious coexistence bureau.

……

……

The duties of an operator are many.

It is necessary to communicate with the "anchor" to confirm the psychological state of the owner of the anchored fate.

We need to observe the Anchor's daily movements and activities to develop a protection plan for him, preventing him from being targeted by ordinary people with rage on the side of the road. The professionals at the Harmonious Symbiosis Bureau may not be able to protect the Anchor from malicious fate holders, but what can't I do for you ordinary people?!

It will also be responsible for organizing the fate owners and their corresponding abilities in the city area to the "anchors" to a minimum extent to prevent their lives from being affected.

In fact, the operator is like a personal butler assigned by the federal government to the "anchor", solving many troubles and handling many things behind the scenes.

There are actually not many "anchors" that can have operators, but there are conditions that are met.

After all, the requirement is that this relationship cannot be revealed to the anchored person, and the anchored person himself is considered an unstable factor in the Federation's judgment, and the person himself must know nothing about this invisible rule... More importantly, one cannot be an "anchor" and completely obey the anchored person, but must be able to lead the owner of the fate.

It is very rare to find sworn brothers and sisters like Yu Xiu De and [Two-Faced Man] who are not related by blood at all - even between people of the same age and opposite sex, it is very rare.

The "anchors" who meet the requirements of having an operator are mostly [parents and children], ordinary but socially integrated fathers or mothers, who guide their extraordinary but ignorant children to integrate into society step by step.

……

……

But then again, Yu Xiu De and [Two-Faced Man] are pretty normal in Yu Wensong's opinion... after all, there's a saying that an elder brother is like a father!

Yu Xiu De gave Yu Wensong the impression of being calm and mature, not at all like a young man in his twenties. Considering that he was an orphan... Yu Wensong could completely understand him.

After learning about Yu Xiude's life experience, the experienced federal operator's initial doubts disappeared.

……

……

Yu Wensong's main purpose for appearing here today was to try to establish a communication relationship with Yu Xiude and obtain his authorization, so that he wouldn't be randomly checked and judged as a disqualified operator who violated the privacy of the "anchor", and...

Give me a pistol.

Give Yu Xiu De a gun that is not registered in the Inspectorate's files and that can easily take someone's life by pulling the trigger in a federation with a complete gun ban...

Real Dreamland: Chapter 58: Gun

"Ha~yawn~"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu Xiude, for letting you see my lazy side."

Yu Wensong ran up to Yu Xiude, extended his hand to him eagerly, and a sunny smile appeared on his face.

There was no trace of the gloomy and angry look in the dream, cursing the boss and the work.

“…I understand.”

Yu Xiu De, who originally wanted to immediately meet up with his reporters and go to the residence of the believer under investigation, was no longer in a hurry after knowing the purpose of Yu Wensong's visit.

Even the reporters under Yu Xiu De could easily track down the believers of the "Real Dreamland" and even find their residences, which means that these cultists are numerous.

Guns, even the most common pistols, at least in the perception of ordinary citizens of the Federation, are something that is both rare and uncommon.

This is rare because the federal government has a comprehensive gun ban, prohibiting anyone from purchasing a gun. If anyone other than the owner of the zodiac sign is found to be possessing a gun, it is generally a felony. Furthermore, if the owner of the zodiac sign is found to have shared their gun with an ordinary person, they will also face strict surveillance for a period of time.

The reason why it is not rare is that the concept of guns is so widely spread. It is basically indispensable in TV dramas, novels, comics, and movies... Toys such as toy guns and water guns are also popular among children.

Although, for Yu Xiude, it was a waste of time to discard it. After all, if Yu Xiude could aim the gun, it meant that he could definitely drag that person into the dream. However, Yu Wensong and the officials behind Yu Wensong did not know that Yu Xiude himself was a [Nightmare].

If this pistol was only given to Yu Xiu De for self-defense, then there was no need to emphasize that it was not in the records of the Supervisory Office. It would be sufficient to just issue Yu Xiu De a gun license.

But in the dream, Yu Wensong emphasized that the gun was not in the records of the Supervisory Office.

This is a bit intriguing...

……

"Um, are you busy now? I want to tell you something, something that is not convenient to say on the phone, let's talk in the car."

Yu Wensong kept his posture and voice very low.

After receiving Yu Xiu De's nod, he smiled with honor again, ran to his black luxury car, opened the door for Yu Xiu De, bent down, and after Yu Xiu De entered, he ran into the car again.

Full of emotional value!

"But maybe he's also complaining in his heart, wondering why he's been caught like me, a difficult target he can't monitor, yet has to monitor..."

Sitting in the back seat, Yu Xiude, who was not moved by Yu Wensong's hospitality at all, complained in his heart.

However, Yu Xiude, who was enjoying the air conditioning in the car, did not intend to make things difficult for Yu Wensong.

Although the latent fate owner and the official personnel were undoubtedly in opposition, Yu Xiu De had watched Yu Wensong, whose mind had dissipated, collapse and vent for an hour in his dream, and he still felt a little sympathy for his operator.

This young person in the system reminded Yu Xiu De of his past self - he was also the same person who changed the requirements from above, saved the budget, and lowered the work configuration, but still demanded a lot of work results.

Yu Xiu De had already guessed that the new bill that was beneficial to him was most likely an instruction given by his old classmate to him. After all, whether it was the dream or the "anchor" of the superhero added to the bill, in his opinion, the referentiality was too strong.

But if that's the case... her power in the Federation right now is probably even greater than imagined or what's reported in the newspapers...

……

"I came here today to give you something, something that only a few Anchors have."

Yu Wensong took out a brown bag from under his seat, but did not open it. Instead, he handed it directly to Yu Xiude.

"Please open it."

Yu Xiude took the slightly heavy bag and opened it.

Sure enough, it was a gun.

The pistol gleamed with a cool sheen in the sunlight, its black metal casing shrouded in a low-key yet powerful sense of intimidation. The smooth lines of the gun body highlighted the weapon's efficiency and lethality.

Whether rich or poor, official or commoner, wise or foolish...

Even most people with this fate will treat death equally when facing a gun.

Among them is [Nightmare].

The dark side of [Two-Face] can use shadows to block bullets, but [Nightmare] cannot. His dreams are just dreams. Even if they can slightly erode reality and reflect the scenery in his dreams into reality, he still cannot avoid a bullet.

At least, Yu Xiude can't do that now.

"...Is this a means of self-defense for me?"

"Yes."

Yu Wensong likes Yu Xiude, who can easily understand the current situation as an "anchor", which can save him a lot of time and energy.

"However, I don't recommend you expose it."

"Why? Because it's illegal?"

Yu Xiu De picked up the pistol, held it in his hand and examined it carefully, touching every part meticulously.

The gun was not loaded, and there was no need to worry about any danger from this action.

"That's not..."

Looking at Yu Xiude, who looked like he was touching a real gun for the first time, Yu Wensong nodded secretly, took a deep breath, and said slowly:

"It's mainly to avoid angering certain fate holders. After all, some fate holders, while unable to block bullets, still have the ability to prevent the trigger from being pulled..."

Real Dreamland: Chapter 59: Not One, But Two

"The gun in real life feels exactly the same as the one in my dream..."

Yu Wensong guessed correctly, it was indeed the first time that Yu Xiude touched a gun in real life.

But in his dreams, Yu Xiude had touched guns countless times, shot and killed others, and also experienced the feeling of being shot.

Many times.

The feeling this gun gave Yu Xiu De was exactly the same as in his dream. So... what was it like to be shot, or to shoot someone else?

Yu Xiu De collected his increasingly distracted thoughts and focused his attention on Yu Wensong's words.

Although Yu Wensong's words were very obscure, Yu Xiude still understood what Yu Wensong meant.

It may sound unbelievable, but in fact, the federal government’s comprehensive ban on guns to prevent the proliferation of guns is not only to protect the life safety of the owner of the fate, but also to protect the safety of ordinary people.

There is a simple example next to Yu Xiu De, and that is himself.

[Nightmare] cannot block a bullet attack that exceeds the range limit of the "pseudo bullet time" created by his "hypothetical dream".

But he could choose to drag all the people in the city into his dream indiscriminately and kill the entire city before being attacked.

In fact, this is not a difficult thing for him now.

The reason why Yu Xiu De did not do so was, on the one hand, because if he did so, he would undoubtedly get himself into a more troublesome situation, and might even attract a federal attack, and he would not be able to sleep peacefully.

Another aspect is a sense of security.

After leaving the institute, Yu Xiude's life was actually quite peaceful and happy, except for a moment of shock from a primary school classmate. Even the unexpected arrival of a useless Zhongdeng and two troublesome Xiaodeng at home only caused Yu Xiude trouble.

Yu Xiu De was quite satisfied with the overall life in the Federation.

The same applies to people with other fate patterns.

The battle between fate owners is also related to the fate itself.

Just like [Nightmare] and [Dominator] can stalemate each other, but [Nightmare] and [Two-Face] can never stalemate each other... Either [Nightmare] drags [Two-Face] into the dream and ravages it at will, or the dark side of [Two-Face] kills [Nightmare] instantly in reality.

The areas and abilities involved in the fate itself are also factors that affect combat in addition to the strength and combat awareness of the fate owner.

Even though there may be differences in the quality of fate among the owners, fate is ultimately an extraordinary "characteristic", an ultimate means of production that belongs only to an individual, rather than a simple killing weapon or combat tool.

Just like [Two-Faced Man] has strong physical destruction and recovery capabilities, it is impossible for him to gain knowledge and improve experience in dreams like [Nightmare].

Although people with a fate like Yu Xiu De cannot avoid harm, they can make many preparations in advance to avoid the occurrence of harm.

Whether these preparations are for others or for oneself, whether they only require sneaky tricks or whether everything within the field of vision should be used... that is hard to say.

Yu Xiude thought of another example.

The opposite of Yu Xiude, who ultimately chose to keep out of trouble, blend in with ordinary people, and believed that being ordinary is the best to protect, is Xu Yuanjie.

When Yu Xiu De saw her, everything around this [Ruler] was a puppet in her palm.

An entire school, an entire street, an entire neighborhood...they were all nests used by this young owner of this fate to hide himself and conceal his chains.

Parents, classmates, teachers, strangers who greet each other...all social relationships related to her are essentially about domination and being dominated.

If guns are rampant and the lives of those with this fate are not guaranteed, causing them to feel a sense of danger, they may constantly try to ensure their own safety... If the federal government cannot give them enough sense of security, then these people with this fate will try to create a sense of security themselves, just like if a country cannot allow its people to live, then it is only a matter of time before they rise up in rebellion.

The owner of this fate is not like an ordinary person who needs to gather, assemble, or prepare weapons.

When an ordinary person feels extremely unhappy in life, he may go out on the street and randomly hack and kill people, or he may be so angry that blood splatters within five steps.

Most people with this fate can cause damage that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

This is why even if the owner of this fate commits a crime, he or she can usually be pardoned.

……

……

"I'm glad you understand."

Yu Wensong has never felt that his job is so easy. He feels that he and the expressionless "anchor" in the back seat are just like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years. They have a tacit understanding and many things can be done with just one click.

Things that usually take an hour to explain can be done in just over ten minutes, which makes the communication very efficient.

This also dissipated a lot of the resentment in Yu Wensong's heart, which was caused by the working conditions becoming extremely harsh at the slightest pressure from a certain visible big hand.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Wensong felt that beneath that expressionless face and dead eyes, there might be a reasonable heart. He asked tentatively:

"Um... would you mind sharing some information with me on a daily basis that you think is worth sharing?"

"can."
