What’s wrong with the dream world!

Xiao Zhao's voice trembled a little.

But Yu Xiu De, who had worked with him for a long time, understood that it was not the trembling of hesitation and fear, but the trembling of excitement... The reporters under him, like the editor-in-chief above him, had a heart that was determined to commit suicide.

"Ah."

Looking at the fish in the alley, Xiu De nodded.

"Take me there."

The two walked towards the entrance of the urban village together. Along the way, the prosperity gradually turned into chaos.

The buildings near the entrance are mostly short, some with brightly colored tiles, while others have long since fallen off, leaving them grimy. The surrounding area is covered with various commercial advertisements and rental information, some of which are faded, appearing old and mottled.

The old buildings were like a series of crowded boxes, with all kinds of bed sheets hanging between them, blocking out the sunlight and making the scene seem dark and depressing.

Xiao Zhao noticed the brown package in Yu Xiude's hand and asked curiously:

"By the way, Lao Yu, what's in your package? Is it the equipment I need for this interview?"

"No."

Feeling the heavy weight in his hand, Yu Xiude thought for a while and said softly:

"This is just a gift from an old classmate I haven't seen for a long time."

……

……

Just as Yu Xiu De and Xiao Zhao were heading towards the rental house, on the other side.

After sending the "act first and report later, federal authorization" message to Yu Xiude, Yu Wensong actually drove away and parked the car in a parking area not far from the urban village, where he could provide support at any time and would not be judged as being "tracked".

He immediately took out his computer from the car and reported the operation process, progress made, and the process of handling firearms to his superiors.

Fifteen minutes later, a stack of freshly prepared documents appeared on Xu Yuanjie's desk.

The office is elegantly decorated, with books and documents neatly arranged in bookcases, and trophies and certificates quietly embedded in the walls. In the corner of her desk, a pot of vibrant green plants is placed.

She sat behind a large solid wood desk, her fingers slender and powerful, lightly flipping through a thick stack of documents that came from far more than just Yu Wensong. The sound of the papers rubbing against each other echoed throughout the room.

"Under the supervision of the Harmonious Coexistence Bureau, without any official accompaniment required; investigating an illegal religion that is almost certainly operated by a person with a destiny, when it is ostensibly just a novice who has just acquired a gun..."

"Sure enough, it was you who sneaked into my dream last time, and you already know that I am paying attention to you."

"But your disguise now is too lax and crude. It's completely different from your previous self."

As if recalling something, Xu Yuanjie put down the documents, took out a pistol from the drawer, examined it carefully, played with it, chuckled and said to herself:

"But is this because you've become slower, or are you becoming less concerned with reality?"

[Dominator] can also be killed by guns.

But the [Ruler] not only controls his own life, Xu Yuanjie has proven this many times in the process of advancement within the system.

However, Yu Xiude, who had always lived a good life and had lived a down-to-earth and serious life since the age of six, had no chance to explore this question...

Real Dreamland: Chapter 62: Fish on Land

The narrow alley was lined with dilapidated walls, their paint peeling off, revealing mottled cement. The accumulated dust was even more noticeable in the sunlight. Old electric wires dangled from the eaves, and sparrows occasionally perched on them, their noisy chirping inadvertently breaking the silence.

In the prosperous and bustling Qianpeng City, where every inch of land is valuable, such a poor and backward area seems a bit out of place.

Urban villages are a special residential form formed during the rapid expansion of cities.

With the acceleration of urbanization in the United States, a large number of rural residents have flocked to cities in search of better living and job opportunities. Due to the rapid increase in urban population, residents of urban villages often renovate or expand their homes to provide low-cost rental housing to meet the housing needs of migrant workers. This phenomenon has led to the rapid development of urban villages, creating high-density, low-income residential areas.

Many people believe that urban villages are areas waiting to be developed in urban planning and can be demolished at any time. In fact, this is wrong.

Urban villages will also expand...

……

……

Along the way, there were no pickpockets, no thugs, and no one who tried to obstruct their journey.

Yu Xiu De and Xiao Zhao arrived at their destination smoothly and quickly, which was the rental house of Ji Linchun, a former worker who had been fired from the textile factory for absenteeism and was now an unemployed vagrant.

"Have you asked the landlord for the key?"

Yu Xiude asked casually.

"Of course...but this landlord is really mean and ripped me off."

Xiao Zhao complained and winked at Yu Xiu De beside him.

Yu Xiude understood what he meant and said helplessly:

"It will be reimbursed."

Yu Xiu De's colleague was not the kind of person who would make false reports, but the reason why he looked a little guilty was that once he started investigating, he would involuntarily use the most efficient method to investigate.

As for news... of course it has to be timely.

The fastest and most expensive method is often also the most efficient.

……

……

Xiao Zhao smiled happily after receiving Yu Xiu De's answer. He quickly took out the key from his shoulder bag, which he "borrowed" from the landlord but actually "rented", and opened the shabby door in front of him.

"Cough cough!"

As soon as he opened it, Xiao Zhao was choked by the pungent smell, and Yu Xiu De also frowned slightly.

That smell...

Like a rotten and foul smell.

But it was not a corpse, but more like fermented and rotten food residue.

Yu Xiu De raised his foot and walked into the house very naturally without any awareness of trespassing.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhao, who had paused for a while, adjusted the camera hanging around his neck to recording mode, then hurriedly followed and carefully looked at the environment inside the rental house.

The rental house is not big, about ten square meters.

A narrow window on one side let in a meager amount of light, its curtains made of cheap, yellowed fabric. The walls were painted a dull gray, with cracks in several corners revealing the brickwork underneath.

The furniture in the room was extremely simple. A single bed took up most of the space. An old bed sheet was spread on the bed, on which a man with a dirty face and messy hair, like a homeless man, was sleeping soundly.

It was the resident of this rental house, suspected to be a believer of [Real Dreamland] - Ji Linchun.

There was a simple wooden shelf at the head of the bed, on which were piled a few yellowed books, an old mobile phone, and a vertical photo. A charger was hanging next to it, but it was not plugged in.

Next to the door was a trash can filled with instant noodles, soup and all. Next to it was a table made of two wooden boards and a few pipes, with some simple seasonings and a few rotten fruits piled on it.

There was no bathroom inside, but the pungent smell of excrement came from the buckets beside the bed. Xiao Zhao even noticed a few bags of adult diapers in the corner.

wrong……

There was even more than just packaging on the floor!

"..."

Xiao Zhao's face turned green.

He considered himself an experienced reporter who had seen many scenes, big and small. But at this moment, looking at Ji Linchun, who was lying spread-eagle on the stinking sheets, sleeping soundly, he felt a strange awe in addition to disgust and discomfort.

It also……

Too lazy.

How could he sleep in such an environment?

……

……

'It's caused by being obsessed with dreaming.'

Yu Xiu De commented as follows.

Yu Xiu De, who was standing beside Ji Linchun, noticed that there was residual power from a person with a destiny related to the "dream" realm on his body. He also felt very uncomfortable and frowned slightly.

This physiological disgust will not fade as the spirit becomes stronger.

Originally, Yu Xiu De’s idea was very simple.

He came, he yawned, he left.

The remaining interview work required by the newspaper was left to Xiao Zhao, a reporter.

But when he finally arrived, he found that things were not that simple.

Even without sneaking into Ji Linchun's dream, Yu Xiu De could feel through the "texture" of the dream that the dream Ji Linchun was having was not a casual work of the unknown owner of the fate, but one of the threads of the work that the other party had spent a lot of energy and even had time to accumulate strength.

It not only involves the field of "dreams", but also seems to involve some other things.

It's not just his dream, it's the dream of many people.

If his dream is resolved, then the dreams of many others will be resolved as well.

This wasn't a trivial matter that could be easily solved by Yu Xiu De simply yawning, madly compressing the dream time and condensing it into a blink of an eye in reality.

If we add to this a series of considerations and criteria, such as "not wanting to be discovered by the holders of the horoscopes in the illegal religion," "not wanting to self-destruct in front of the authorities," "there might be an ambush in the dream," and "it's best not to harm innocent people," etc...

That is a major matter that Yu Xiu De must concentrate on and deal with!

It’s best to find a place to rest for a while, or wait until night time to go to sleep before exploring.

Of course, there is the most important point.

It stinks so much here... Yu Xiude felt like a fish on the shore, almost unable to breathe.

Real Dreamland: Chapter 63: Inexperienced Colleagues

Although Yu Xiu De can cast "synchronized dream" on himself and put himself in a sleepwalking state while blocking out the unpleasant smell in the air.

But in fact, after leaving the research institute, Yu Xiu De no longer imposed "synchronous dreams" on himself.

Blocking perception is nothing more than an attempt to cover up one's own faults for the Nightmare itself, and it can easily make the mind, which is already somewhat dull to reality, even further away from reality.

Block out unpleasant smells today, block out noisy sounds tomorrow, and block out people you don’t want to see the day after tomorrow... It’s better to just go home and sleep!

When it is impossible to truly confuse the boundaries between reality and dreams, choosing to confuse your senses first is a foolish act, just like closing your eyes while driving.

Reality is not as pleasant as dreams, but Yu Xiu De will not give up reality.

And this person in front of me is living in a small house and stinking up a lot. He came from the countryside to work hard in the big city. He sends money to his parents every month but dares not go home to expose his poor performance in the city. He is almost middle-aged but still homeless and unemployed...

There is no doubt that it is to choose dreams and give up reality.

……

It's just that the smell of the rental house is really bad.

After leaving his mark on the soundly sleeping Ji Linchun, Yu Xiu De decided to postpone the matter of "Real Dreamland" for a while... and then solve this problem before going to bed tonight.

Before that, this afternoon, he had to help his careless colleague solve a small problem.

Yu Xiu De glanced at his colleague next to him.

Xiao Zhao was holding a camera in one hand and pinching his nose with the other, trying to breathe out through his mouth, but he was choked and coughed repeatedly.

A feeling of disappointment arose in Yu Xiu De's heart.

Really.

You are already in your thirties and an adult with considerable work experience, but why are you still so confused in doing things?

Did he really believe that for a small sum of money, a landlord could give a stranger a key to a rental house with a comatose tenant and not even be there to watch over it?

Ugh!

At the last narrow intersection before reaching the rental house, Yu Xiu De already noticed that someone was following them.

Combining the background of the urban village and Xiao Zhao's report, Yu Xiu De, who had rich life experience in dreams, easily guessed the purpose of the stalker.

These residents of the urban village probably wanted to blackmail the two.
