What’s wrong with the dream world!

Rather than eating for physiological needs, it is more like eating in revenge.

Number Thirteen remembers the bamboo zither.

Because the other person was someone that No. 13 had pulled into the "real dreamland" a long time ago, but he still has not provided No. 13 with the power of faith.

And this person is very important to his subsequent conversation with No. 6.

……

……

"…I don't understand, Thirteen."

Yu Xiu De, wearing a chef's hat and a chef's skirt, walked out of the kitchen naturally, holding the hand of "Yan" in his right hand. The expression on his face was as indifferent as his.

The way Yu Xiu De held "Yan" was a mirror image of the way No. 13 held "Yan". The difference was that "Yan"'s expression no longer showed compassion, and the missing part was no longer his right arm, but his empty right wrist.

His right palm was on Thirteen's hand.

"Although I am very grateful that you are willing to meet me in a dream, since you have chosen to meet me in a dream, you should know that the ending is already determined."

"Your handmade dolls are at best equivalent to the period before I left the institute."

"You can't be so naive as to think that I haven't made any progress in all these years... What on earth are you thinking, Thirteen?"

Zhuqin, who was standing by, heard a familiar voice, hesitated for a moment, put down the plate in her hand with difficulty, and looked in the direction of the voice.

But she couldn't recognize Yu Xiu De.

Everything around her was so real that she even felt she could see clearly that Yu Xiu De was an adult holding a child.

But when she looked carefully, the big and the small turned into hazy light and shadow.

Yu Xiu De noticed this female neighbor whom he had met once in the evening.

Of course, No. 13 didn't know the relationship between Zhuqin and Yu Xiude. The [Priest] didn't have much control over his believers, not to mention that Zhuqin was not a believer of "Nightmare".

Even though Zhu Yueyu and Zhu Yajing were both affected by the [Nightmare], the [Priest] did not have the ability to check the household registration books.

This working woman, who is about to retire and is under great pressure, is over 50 years old. She is like an old man or woman who likes to take advantage of others. She neither provides the power of faith nor frantically takes advantage of the "real dreamland" for free, and uses it as a place to vent her stress.

By eating without restraint in dreams and not just for the taste, one can vent the stress encountered in life and work.

……

……

No. 13 put the special example of Zhuqin in front of Yu Xiude not to threaten him, but to further explain his concept of "saving the world" to his previous beliefs.

Number Thirteen ignored Zhuqin's frightened look and explained Zhuqin's situation to Yu Xiude.

"She is the only one who truly regards 'Real Dreamland' as a safe haven in reality, rather than another reality."

"I never thought of pulling everyone into the dream, and I know I can't do it, but I want to give as many people as possible an option."

“A choice to say ‘no’ to reality…”

"Number Six, you've traveled through so many people's dreams with me. As a Nightmare, you should know better than me how beautiful their dreams are, right?"

"How beautiful the dream is, how cruel the reality is..."

Thirteen's tone was filled with anticipation.

This was actually the action that No. 13 had thought of before falling asleep.

"Nightmare" is not meant to fight against "Nightmare", nor is it meant to replace "Nightmare".

It is just a bait that is strong enough to persist long enough to make [Nightmare] willing to wander in the real dreamland long enough to witness enough beauty... and finally use it to influence No. 6 and convince No. 6!

This is the purpose of No. 13! The previous "I don't need you"

And in a sense, he did!

In a short period of time, Yu Xiu De visited a large number of other people's dreams in the "real dreamland", even more than the total number of dreams he had visited by all outsiders before, because [Nightmare] was exploring his own dreams most of the time.

In the "real dreamland", he saw the happiness of having many wives, he saw the joy of family, he saw a mother crying bitterly while holding her lost and found child, and he saw a patient with tears streaming down his face after discovering that his terminal illness was just a medical mistake.

Their joy is not fake, their happiness is so real.

If reality is painful enough, then why not let them wallow in it?

Even they themselves have chosen to indulge in it, because the bamboo zither is the best proof.

It would be fine if you really only regard dreams as a safe haven from reality, but except for Zhuqin, everyone else chose to indulge in the "real dreamland" for the second time, the third time... and finally.

So when faced with people who actively choose to escape reality, should we wake them up?

……

……

Yu Xiu De, who was holding "Yam", raised his free left hand expressionlessly, extended his index finger, and pointed at Zhu Qin, who had been out of the situation beside him.

"wait wait wait!"

Relying on the remaining power of "Nightmare", No. 13 felt something was wrong and quickly spoke out to stop it.

But it's too late.

As Yu Xiu De pointed his finger at Zhu Qin, the woman, who was over fifty years old, suddenly showed pain on her face, knelt on the ground, holding her swollen belly, and suddenly her whole body exploded!

Like a swollen and exploded tomato!

Number Thirteen watched in shock as a dark force of faith rose from Zhuqin's body, floated towards Yu Xiude, and wrapped around Yu Xiude's fingertips.

Feeling the new and unfamiliar power, and feeling that his destiny was growing again, [Nightmare] couldn't help but curl his lips.

He is no longer angry at all now.

Because when he was chasing No. 13 in the "Real Dreamland", a dream that combines the power of the two realms of "dream" and "faith", he gained "faith" and already knew how to get involved with "faith".

The original faith comes from fear

Seeing that ray of dark power of faith, No. 13 could no longer maintain the look of compassion on his face.

He frowned, his face full of disbelief, but soon his face was filled with regret and fear, like a child who knew he had done something wrong.

[Priest] only wants to guide his "God" to develop in the direction he expects.

Don't just indulge in your own dreams, don't resist the instinct of being a [nightmare]. [Nightmare] should be an existence that travels through the dreams of all living beings.

But his interference this time reminded "God" of something he had deliberately suppressed a long time ago... and that thing was absolutely contrary to the "saving" concept of the [Priest]!

"Good advice. It seems you have really grown up, Thirteen."

Yu Xiude loosened his grip on Nightmare's hand.

His tone was still indifferent, and No. 13 could not hear any emotion in it.

"But unfortunately, the object of your faith is wrong. Even the original mold of your handicraft is not a panacea for salvation."

Yu Xiu De used his hand, which was wrapped in the dark power of faith, to lightly touch the empty wrist section of "Nightmare" beside him.

The black fog dissipated, and in an instant, "Yan"'s broken hand was restored.

However, the boy's eyes, which were originally as indifferent as a dead fish, were now stained with a strange black mist.

In front of No. 13, Yu Xiu De pressed the boy's shoulders and placed him in front of him, like a kind father introducing his child to others.

"A 'Nightmare' that imitates 'Nightmare'? No... you should call your work 'Dream'."

"It can't even be called a 'dream', because you're only interpreting a small part of a dream, and you don't understand what a nightmare is."

"Let this child teach you what 'nightmare' is. Let it turn your sweet dreams into nightmares."

Finally, let me shatter your dreams.

As for how many people are addicted to "real dreams" and don't want to wake up...

Yu Xiu De estimated that it shouldn’t be too many.

Real Dreamland: Chapter 85 [Transcendence] · Obedience

In the sky, a helicopter with the federal logo printed on the outside was hovering in the sky, slowly heading towards the sky above Qianpeng City.

In the quiet night sky, a helicopter with a federal logo on its exterior slowly rose, its rotors cutting through the night sky, making a low and powerful humming sound.

In the cabin, Xu Yuanjie was wearing a sophisticated black suit. Her face was illuminated by a faint light, making her look mysterious and elegant.

The city lights outside the window are brilliant, and the whole earth seems to be covered with golden stars, gorgeous and dazzling.

The helicopter flew steadily high in the sky, overlooking the busy streets below. Car lights flashed by like shooting stars, surging endlessly.

Xu Yuanjie leaned back in her seat with a relaxed expression, looking down at the city below through the window. The busy streets with the endless stream of vehicles looked like small toys in her eyes.

Xu Yuanjie likes to see the city become prosperous and busy.

Just like players of management games like to watch the palus working hard.

“…That’s really rare.”

Xu Yuanjie's tone was playful.

"Hundreds of thousands of people stopped moving and went to sleep, but it didn't seem to have much of an impact on this city with a population of tens of millions."

The female secretary sitting next to Xu Yuanjie, upon hearing the doubts in her leader's statement, fulfilled her duties as a secretary, flipping through the information on the electronic screen in her hand and quickly answering Xu Yuanjie's questions:

"According to reports from the local authorities in Qianpeng City, the people currently sleeping are mainly office workers working overtime, workers who have just finished their shifts in their urban villages, beggars begging on the street, and homeless vagrants..."

"According to the statistics, there is no significant increase in traffic accidents during this period compared to previous days..."

"The situation in other cities around Qianpeng City is similar, but the number of people falling asleep is not as exaggerated as in Qianpeng City. This is probably because the person suspected of having the "Priest" fate is in the suburbs of Qianpeng City."

"This means that the ability of this person with the 'Faith' domain is limited in distance..."

The female secretary analyzed the situation carefully for Xu Yuanjie.

She suddenly discovered that although the actions of this illegal fate holder and cult founder were massive and far-reaching, causing considerable economic losses to Qianpeng City and even causing panic among the people, the strange thing was...

It doesn't seem like many people will die from this.

Considering that Xu Yuanjie has been using her increasing power to shield this growing illegal religion since she noticed the illegal group "Real Dreamland", this is because the prototype of the "Real Dreamland" belief is suspected to be pointing to...

The secretary understood.

She turned off the electronic screen and complimented earnestly:

"As expected of Mr. Yu Xiude..."

Desperate to make up for the disrespect shown to the cinema earlier, the secretary came up with a very tricky idea.

"Mr. Yu Xiude must have deliberately controlled the consequences of this action in order to avoid causing more trouble for you, Your Excellency."

"..."

Xu Yuanjie glanced at the female secretary, then looked away and continued to observe the city below through the window.

[Ruler] The owner of the destiny in the field of "power".

But Xu Yuanjie could also clearly see the power of faith.

She saw that the originally shallow and dreamy purple mist was being stained by the thick darkness. She saw that the power of fascination, worship, and devout faith was being replaced by fear on a large scale.

She also noticed that these forces of faith not only no longer gathered towards the church outside the suburbs of Qianpeng City, but also did not gather towards Yu Xiu De's apartment.

These thick fears, like smog, covered everything in the city with a veil that ordinary people could not observe, swallowed up the light purple, and then dissipated lightly between heaven and earth.

These collected powers of faith, which could at least plunge millions of people into collective fear, were not used well.

Xu Yuanjie felt sorry for this, but she couldn't do anything other than feel sorry. After all, the [Ruler] only had a rough understanding of the field of "faith".

[Destiny] can naturally involve more than one field, and [Destiny] can also develop into new fields as the owner of the destiny grows.

However, human energy is limited, human talents are fixed, and the owners of destiny are also human. They do not have the energy to reach the pinnacle of all areas they can involve in, and they also need to spend a greater price to do things they are not talented in.

[Fate] is not omnipotent. Even as the pinnacle of "power", Xu Yuanjie is currently unable to directly control the power of faith... "Faith" and "control" do overlap, but they are fundamentally different.

Of course, people with a fate like [Ruler] may not be able to do certain things directly, but there are always ways to do certain things indirectly.

For example, by controlling a person whose destiny involves the field of "faith"...

"Xiaoyan, I want to get a dog again."

Xu Yuanjie suddenly said this.

This made Xiaoyan, the female secretary who was actually a generation older than Xu Yuanjie, somewhat confused.
