What’s wrong with the dream world!

Sewn into this, in the eyes of Yu Xiu De, the [Nightmare], this is the image of a boy who is truly a "nightmare".

……

"Nightmare" scared No. 13, but this was not the result Yu Xiu De wanted.

With his deep emotional intelligence, he knew that threatening someone as stubborn and savior-complex as Thirteen was not the best idea, and it might even make Thirteen's will stronger.

This is not okay...

Even if he cannot kill this clone involved in the field of "faith", he must completely defeat No. 13 and make him realize his mistakes.

So, Yu Xiu De walked up to No. 13.

The "Yan" who was laughing and making a strange laugh like "hehe" on the side, noticed Yu Xiu De coming over, and stopped laughing immediately, and retreated to the side obediently.

Then, he couldn't control his temper anymore, his neck turned, his limbs bent backwards, and he twitched, like a little monster ready to move, looking a little impatient.

The "Nightmare"'s newly awakened consciousness made it dare not offend the expressionless Yu Xiu De, but the "Nightmare"'s instinct made it go out and spread fear as much as possible.

Yu Xiu De nodded slightly at the "nightmare" whose face had become so distorted and hideous that it no longer looked like its childhood self.

"Nightmare", as if pardoned, excitedly rushed to the cafeteria door, leaving the dream where its master had long been sent away by "Nightmare" himself, to look for the master in other dreams.

As the "nightmare" left, No. 13's mood gradually calmed down and his condition gradually recovered. At least he no longer lay on the ground, but instead struggled to get up and sat dejectedly on the floor.

Even though No. 13 could get rid of this "incense body" at any time and avoid the torture of the "nightmare", he did not do so, but still insisted on staying here.

Both words and actions can reveal a person's characteristics, and actions are always more credible than words.

After analyzing No. 13's actions, Yu Xiu De became more and more confident that his subsequent "persuasion" would be successful.

At this moment, he no longer had the aggressive aura he had before. Instead, he took the same posture as No. 13 and sat in front of No. 13.

Yu Xiu De's tone remained calm, as if the person who had just chased No. 13 was not him, and he was still the No. 6 who was most capable of providing safety to No. 13.

"Unfortunately, you don't have Nightmare now. The lack of faith prevents you from seeing the child's efforts."

"But it's okay, you can pray to me, and then I can lend you my power."

Although the tone was calm, the content of the words sounded like a powerful fate holder forcing a fate holder in the "Faith" field to believe in himself.

But this does not apply to the current situation.

Because [Nightmare] could easily gain the faith of [Priest] from the very beginning.

Number Thirteen did not agree immediately.

"Nightmare" was snatched away by "Nightmare", "Real Dreamland" was on the verge of destruction, and the process of "saving the world" was pushed back to the starting point by "Nightmare"... No matter how much No. 13 had admired No. 6, he could not agree to it at the first time.

Belief is not something that can be changed easily, and No. 13 is not really a dog who has no temper at all. On the contrary, he has his own pursuits... otherwise he would not have tried to persuade Yu Xiu De to join the cause of "saving the world".

When Yu Xiu De saw this, he was not anxious.

Because he knew that No. 13, who was afraid that he would go crazy and want to kill everyone in the "Real Dreamland", would be anxious and would pray to him and borrow his power to find out the current situation of "Nightmare" and "Real Dreamland".

And the facts were indeed as Yu Xiu De had expected.

When this dream that originally belonged to Zhuqin began to change, the walls and floor of this empty cafeteria were gradually covered with dust, and the lights on the ceiling began to flicker. The rhythmic light made everything around her confusing.

There was a strange smell coming from the kitchen, as if some strange meat was being frying. Even a slight whiff of that aroma made people feel psychologically disgusted and even physically nauseous.

An inexplicable fear once again hit No. 13, but this time it was not directed at it specifically, but at everyone in the "real dreamland".

The "nightmare" that is no longer suppressed by the "nightmare" and the "nightmare" that is taught the truth by the "nightmare" can do more things.

The "Real Dreamland", a towering tree that carries the dreams of hundreds of thousands of people and should have been a paradise and salvation in the eyes of believers, suddenly underwent a terrifying change.

The outer bark of the tree trunk peeled off, revealing the hideous flesh inside. The vibrant green leaves quickly turned yellow as if burned by fire. Everything was distorted, and the originally vibrant and positive things were replaced by terror.

The power of faith from reality and the purple mist provided by believers of "nightmare" are still coming in from reality, but they are just a drop in the bucket and cannot cover the thick black air emanating from the "real dreamland".

Fear is encroaching on beauty, and heaven is turning into hell.

And [Nightmare] wants [Priest] to witness hell.

……

……

"No… Number Six… I can't do this."

Number Thirteen tried to offer his faith to the familiar yet unfamiliar existence in front of him and borrow its strength, but he found that he was facing the expressionless Nightmare and could not offer any faith at all.

He tried to persuade Nightmare to stop, but looking into those lifeless eyes made him lose all his courage.

Faith is not something you say with your mouth, it comes from the heart... and now No. 13 only has confusion and fear about the "Nightmare", but no faith.

But Nightmare doesn't care.

"The first faith comes from fear... Remember this, Thirteen."

A few wisps of black air lingered around Yu Xiu De's fingertips. At this time, [Nightmare] already had its own understanding of the field of "faith"... an understanding that was beyond the scope of No. 13's understanding.

He gently touched No. 13's forehead and took the initiative to share his power.

In an instant, countless nightmare fragments and countless nightmare information came pouring into No. 13, and no one could refuse.

……

……

Number Thirteen saw a man who was lonely in reality but had a harmonious harem in his dreams and was on the verge of madness.

All his wives died at home, their blood splattered all over the kitchen, living room, bedroom, and every place where he and they had once been intimate.

The perpetrators of this atrocity were an old peasant woman and an old farmer who were dressed simply.

They shouldn't appear in men's dreams.

They should be pure background characters, and should be the parents of the man described as traveling around the world with the filial money given by his filial son.

But now they appeared in the man's home, wearing pants and clothes stained with mud as if they had just come out of the fields, holding blood-stained kitchen knives in their hands, looking at the panic-stricken man with expressionless faces, and then suddenly chased after the man.

The man was so frightened that he ran outside, but the corridor seemed to extend to infinity, and he could only flee frantically in the house.

As he ran, he listened to his parents, who were like evil spirits, muttering behind him:

"Why aren't you awake yet...why aren't you awake yet!"

"Have you forgotten that no one loves you except us?"

……

……

Number 13 saw many more.

He saw beauty turn into ugliness, luck breed misfortune, love turn into betrayal, and possession eventually turn into loss.

What made him uncomfortable was that the [Nightmare] did not make them fall into fear without any source, but attacked the weakest part of their hearts.

Seeing the people in the "real dreamland" being tortured like this, No. 13 was no longer afraid, but became extremely angry.

After breaking free from the perspective given by the Nightmare, he had a rare look of anger on his face, glaring at Yu Xiu De in front of him, as if Yu Xiu De was the illegal element.

"Stop it, Six, are you driving them crazy? You should be aware of your dreams..."

"Of course I do, but I didn't think you knew."

Yu Xiu De asked back, his tone still as calm as dead water.

"After all, you did the same thing as me before I took over 'Real Dreamland', Thirteen."

"A sweet dream? A nightmare? What difference does it make to Nightmare?"

"It can drive them crazy anyway."

Real Dreamland: Chapter 87 Addiction: The Belated Federal Iron Fist

What is a dream?

Ever since leaving the institute and looking at the reality outside the institute, which was not liked by everyone and even could not please most people, No. 13 set the goal of "saving the world" and laid the foundation for the "saving the world" method, he has been thinking and studying this problem all the time.

[Father] is the owner of the "Faith" realm destiny. His [destiny] is not naturally involved in the "Dream" realm. He cannot naturally feel this concept like Yu Xiu De and other "Dream" realm destiny owners.

When there is no overlap in the fields, even someone like No. 13, who is born with a strong advantage, must, like an ordinary person, honestly explore, observe, practice, and summarize in reality to understand this concept.

[Fate] is far from a trait that can be easily summarized by a noun. Even in this world, some proper nouns were born after the appearance of [Fate].

But No. 13 felt that since it could be given a specific title, it must have similar rules.

Number Thirteen is not a person who is obsessed with preaching and has no knowledge. On the contrary, in order to achieve the goal of "saving the world", he devotes himself to study and is proficient in psychology, history, religion, and mysticism.

Among them, history is what No. 13 needs to study hard, and psychology is only obscure in theory to No. 13, but it is easy to apply it. As for religion and mysticism, he can understand them at once.

He learned all these in preparation for creating "Nightmare".

[Fate] may seem very unscientific and impossible to summarize to ordinary people, but the owner of the fate must have an instinctive understanding of his or her own [fate], and if he or she wants to develop and derive it, he or she must also have his or her own "personal science".

It is impossible for No. 13 to create a "nightmare" that meets his expectations or a "god" that can save the world when he only has a superficial understanding of "dreams".

Through studying psychology, No. 13 knows that dreams are a state of consciousness that occurs during sleep, usually manifested as a series of images, plots and emotions; dreams can be positive and pleasant, or negative and worrying; the content of dreams is often related to people's experiences, emotions and subconsciousness, and is considered to be a manifestation of psychological activities.

From the perspective of religious studies, No. 13 knows that dreams are considered to be revelations or omens from God; the interpretation of dreams can guide important decisions; dreams are seen as part of the impermanence of life, revealing the illusions and reality of the human heart.

Number Thirteen also learned the symbolic meaning of dreams from mysticism. Dreams are a window for the subconscious to convey information from the depths of the soul; the images and plots of dreams are interpreted as symbols, representing hidden thoughts and emotions; dreams can also be seen as a path to self-enlightenment and awakening, which may involve the reincarnation of the soul or the connection with the laws of the universe.

Number Thirteen delved deeply into dreams, analyzing the concept of "dream" from various angles and ideas. After creating "nightmare" to exert influence on the "dream" realm, it can even be said that his understanding of the "dream" realm exceeds that of many people with the "dream" realm destiny.

But now, many years later, after encountering the current [Nightmare] again, he suddenly realized that not only might he not have delved much into the field of "dreams", he might not even have gone far enough in the field of "faith" that he was naturally good at.

[Nightmare] can easily point out the [Priest's] omissions, and can even be used by [Nightmare] in turn to use "fear" to extend "faith", forcing the [Priest], the owner of the "faith" field, to establish a link of "faith and being believed" when he has little faith left in him.

Number Thirteen gave a bitter smile.

He actually knew that Number Six was most likely the [Transcendence] of the "Dream" realm, and [Transcendence] was the pinnacle of the realm. Theoretically, a realm could have countless "paradoxes", but there would only be one [Transcendence]... because [paradoxes] that could not be deduced and understood using existing logic could have various forms of existence, but the word "first" would only have one in terms of concept and definition.

But even though No. 13 had already judged that No. 6 was the [Transcendence] of the "Dream" realm, he had not expected that [Nightmare] would surpass other "Dream" realm fate holders by so much, and even had his own unique understanding of "faith".

[Nightmare] Yu Xiu De is well versed in human nature and knows exactly how to defeat someone like No. 13.

The cafeteria with its mottled walls had long since collapsed, and Zhuqin's dream had long since been shattered. At this time, No. 13 and Yu Xiude had already left the "real dreamland" and were outside the dream, maintaining a sitting posture facing each other, looking sideways at the withered giant tree.

Number Thirteen's expression was filled with loneliness and sadness, while Yu Xiu De remained calm, as if the "real dreamland" that carried the expectations of hundreds of thousands of people for dreams was just an obstacle that a naive and stubborn child painstakingly built with building blocks, hindering others from walking normally.

Just kick it and it's done.

Yu Xiu De, who has lived two lives as a human, is such a mature and cold adult.

Yu Xiu De withdrew his gaze and looked at the decadent No. 13.

[Nightmare] Yu Xiu De's emotional intelligence is as deep as the sea, not a self-proclaimed title, but a conclusion drawn after years of testing in dreams and reality. He keenly sees the fire that has not yet been completely extinguished in No. 13's chest under his decadent and helpless appearance.

The dangerous flame was not extinguished at the beginning because there was a big fire that had already started and Yu Xiu De needed to cool it down. But now, even if Yu Xiu De had put out the fire caused by No. 13, he would not allow No. 13 to retain the dangerous fire.

So Yu Xiude took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy, saying to the pale-faced No. 13:

"In my opinion, your so-called 'real dreamland' is actually no different from some illegal traffickers of addictive drugs."

No...no!

Number Thirteen screamed silently in his heart.

He had never thought about such a thing, and he did not create the "Real Dreamland" out of his own selfish interests. He really believed that it was good for the world.

Look at the world!

Income inequality is widening, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for low-income groups to maintain a decent life; the lack of moral ethics has made some people indifferent to the suffering of others, and the world is deteriorating; the superficiality of interpersonal relationships has led to the lack of deep emotional connections, and most people have lost the opportunity... and even the ability!

In reality, between accidents and tomorrow, accidents always come first!

All living beings suffer!

And I clearly have the ability, even if I can't lead everyone out of the sea of suffering and bring them to the paradise of dreams...

No. 13 has many reasons in his heart to practice "saving the world".

But when he opened his mouth, no words came out.

Because Yu Xiu De's next words were like a series of sharp knives, cutting into his weakest and most painful parts, causing him pain and making him waver in his "saving the world".

"You cannot deny that your initial missionary work stemmed from your inducement and coercion; this is also the common tactic used by those illegal traffickers of addictive drugs."

"Those addictive drugs manipulate the body's hormones to create a false sense of pleasure in people, making them intoxicated; whereas your 'real dreamland' manipulates dreams to create a false sense of beauty in people, making them addicted."

"Sleeping all day and neglecting communication leads to family breakdown and social isolation; abnormal sleep patterns lead to physical health problems; daydreaming and not working lead to financial burdens; uncontrolled fantasies of beauty lead to mental abnormalities..."
