What’s wrong with the dream world!

Yu Xiude deliberately slowed down his speech, ensuring that his sincere and patient words could penetrate Thirteen's ears and fill Thirteen's brain byte by byte...

Trampling Thirteen's heart, making him give up his ridiculous idea.

"The people you 'saved' basically have all the characteristics of an addict."

"You give them beauty, you give them happiness, you give them joy. Your way of salvation... doesn't require the power of fate at all. You can achieve it simply by using addictive drugs."

"Number 13."

Yu Xiu De patted No. 13 on the shoulder, looked at the "real dreamland" filled with black fog, and spoke softly.

"Your way of saving the world is just this kind of thing."

"..."

After Yu Xiu De finished speaking, the desperate No. 13 began to turn gray rapidly.

He was like one of those exaggerated characters in anime used to express a character's low emotions. His entire body began to fade rapidly, becoming thinner, and eventually turned into flying confetti, dissipating in the dream.

The incense body dissipated.

It didn't seem like No. 13 had actively lifted it, but rather it seemed like the power of faith was not strong enough, lacking the faith to sustain its existence, and so it dissipated passively.

"..."

Noticing that No. 13 had left and sensing that the relationship of "belief and being believed" that had just been established had been severed, Yu Xiu De was not in a hurry.

After all, [Nightmare] has just recently been involved in the field of "faith". Even for [Nightmare] who can subjectively prolong the time, the initial exposure can directly turn into proficient use, but [Priest] is the owner of the fate in the field of "faith" after all.

One is acquired learning, the other is innate and acquired going hand in hand. Apart from some tricks that can catch the other party off guard in the field of "belief", the relationship between "belief and being believed" can actually only be dominated by No. 13 himself.

The fact that the owner of the destiny in the field of "faith" cannot stick to his faith is just like the owner of the destiny in the field of "dream" cannot control his dreams. It is almost impossible to happen except for a few rare cases.

Instead of rushing to find the specific location of Number 13 in reality, Yu Xiu De remained in the dream, calmly looking at the "real dreamland" shrouded in black fog, and listening attentively to the voices of the dream masters.

He saw bloody dreams, full of corpses, weapons, pieces of flesh, and blood, and heard people screaming out of biological instinct when faced with pure violence and the danger of death.

He also saw dreams that were not so bloody, full of betrayal, abandonment, darkness, and loneliness, and heard the most helpless cries of people facing complex situations and the difficulties of gains and losses.

Of course, Yu Xiu De also heard a boy's strange laughter. That ignorant creature, who had only just been born into the dream's subjective consciousness for a few minutes and still had his own face, was still happily fiddling with the dream, spreading fear by evoking the deepest fear in everyone's heart.

Just as "Real Dreamland", under the guidance of No. 13, weaves a suitable and beautiful paradise for everyone, so this new "Nightmare", under the connivance of "Nightmare", tailors an infinite hell for everyone.

The "nightmare" became more and more excited. The fear of hundreds of thousands of people had obviously fed it to its heart's content, but it was still not satisfied, because it sensed that within the "real dreamland", there were two other people's dreams that were not tainted by fear.

With its newly emerged consciousness, Nightmare shouldn't attack the two people who were clearly marked by Nightmare; but due to its deep-rooted instinct...

Wandering between a dream where "fat is beautiful" and a dream where "everyone can read minds", "Nightmare" looked around furtively to make sure that the pair of lifeless eyes were not around.

Then, when it felt itchy and touched the boundary of the dream with its little hand, the surroundings spun around, and suddenly it felt its neck tightened and someone lifted it up.

[Nightmare] grabbed the collar of the defenseless "Nightmare" and aligned its eyes with his own. He looked at the face that was very similar to his own, but with a much richer expression than his own.

His eyes were dark and cunning, full of mischievous energy, completely different from Yu Xiude's calmness like stagnant water.

"Nightmare" looks like the "Young·Blackened·Yu Xiu De" that has never appeared.

"…What should I do with this little gadget?"

Yu Xiu De's face showed a rare look of confusion.

Because from a certain perspective, this little thing is quite precious. If [Nightmare] studies it for a while, he might be able to find many uses for it, which can bring considerable help to [Nightmare]'s life.

But from a safety perspective, this little thing that has its own consciousness and is inherently dangerous may also bring trouble to oneself... After all, [Nightmare] does not have the ability to control the will of others and cannot guarantee loyalty.

And from a cost perspective...

Yu Xiu De's gaze became a little dangerous.

The Nightmare seemed to realize that if it didn't take action, something terrible would happen to it. Its instinctive desire to survive erupted. Although it couldn't speak, it violently transmitted a message to Yu Xiude through its consciousness:

'There's something wrong with that woman who can't speak.'

'I was worried about you.'

'dad.'

……

The church in the suburbs of Qianpeng City that was forcibly requisitioned by "Real Dreamland".

The candlelight in the church was dim, and the air was filled with the aroma of burning candles. Everywhere there were believers in purple robes lying on the ground with their legs spread out.

After waking up, No. 13 did not leave. Instead, he lowered his head, closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and prayed softly... although he didn't know what he was praying for.

But this can help him stay a little calmer.

But not long after, the church door was gently pushed open, and the door made a low creaking sound, breaking the silence of the [Priest].

Number Thirteen opened his eyes slightly and his gaze fell on the door.

A tall woman in a suit with an extraordinary temperament was standing there.

Real Dreamland: Chapter 88: It's Not Time for You to Grow Up

Number Thirteen stopped praying, held the scripture in his arms, forced himself to cheer up, and looked at the newcomer with caution.

He had never seen this woman before, but he had a vague feeling that she was no ordinary person. Judging from the fact that she was alone, it was very likely that she was also the owner of the fate.

As for the strength, No. 13 couldn't tell, but conservatively estimated that it wouldn't be too bad. After all, the "real dreamland" made a lot of noise.

And the most troublesome thing is... Number Thirteen is very weak now.

Nightmare's "talk therapy" had its intended effect. Having lived two lives, experienced the mundane world through dreams, and possessed a profound emotional intelligence, Yu Xiude consistently achieved his goals, completely extinguishing the flames of a future that threatened to ignite his ordinary life.

The [Priest] was defeated, but not by the [Nightmare]'s strength, but by the [Nightmare's] rhetoric and the [Priest's] own morality.

In the dream, the collapse of No. 13's "incense body" was not because No. 13 actively escaped, but because No. 13, who was completely desperate, not only doubted the method of "saving the world", but also doubted himself.

This weakened Thirteen's power to an unprecedented degree, and also caused his clone, which was condensed by the power of faith, to collapse. Most people with the "Faith" domain destiny are at their weakest when they have no faith.

Therefore, No. 13 did not use the power of the "faith" field for the time being, but tried to use the "induction" of the "mind" field to influence the other party's mind.

No. 13's "induction" was like a gust of wind. While blowing towards Xu Yuanjie, it also slid over the believers lying on the ground who had not yet woken up, trying to blow out the rising black mist emanating from them - the "fear" brought to them by the "real dreamland".

But the results are minimal.

The rising black fog completely ignored No. 13's "guidance" and continued to grow on its own.

Number Thirteen didn't know what Number Six was trying to do, whether in the past or now, even in the research institute, what the expressionless Number Six was thinking had always been a mystery in the minds of everyone, including researchers and experimental subjects.

When No. 13's consciousness returned to reality, the people who were dragged into the dream by the "real dream" still did not wake up, and were still generating a constant "fear" that could be exploited by the [nightmare], and the "fear" that could bring more people into nightmares.

If the [Nightmare] was meant to stop me, then I should stop now. Whether it was destroying the "real dreamland" or digesting the "real dreamland", there was no need to let the world experience what a nightmare was.

But Nightmare doesn't.

This made No. 13's heart, which had already sunk to the bottom of the valley, slide completely into the abyss.

“What on earth have I done…?”

And what's worse, he didn't even have a chance to make up for his mistakes.

Number Thirteen has already reached the limit of what he can do now.

But Xu Yuanjie seemed not to hear him and just walked towards him slowly, her steps light but full of power, as if each step carried an incredible weight.

The "induction" failed.

Number Thirteen felt that his "inducement" was like a breeze, completely unable to shake the will of the woman in front of him!

"Are you praying?"

Xu Yuanjie's voice was low, carrying a pressure that Thirteen couldn't ignore.

"……Yes."

For some reason, Thirteen couldn't help but want to answer.

"So, who are you praying to?" Xu Yuanjie continued to ask in a declarative tone as she continued to approach No. 13.

“…” Number Thirteen tried to remain calm and said nothing.

'Of course it's my Lord,' he wanted to lie.

Although the [Priest] has begun to doubt himself, showing weakness in front of the enemy is never a right choice. A person with the "Faith" domain destiny is at his weakest when he loses his "Faith".

Besides, the other party is not number six.

But No. 13 was somewhat horrified to find that he was unable to lie at all.

Not only that, even the thought of lying became heavier, as if it were tied with shackles, making it increasingly difficult for him to lie, both verbally and mentally.

……

"The founder of the illegal religion 'True Dreamland', the owner of this generation's [Priest] fate, and the thirteenth experimental subject of the nameless research institute."

Xu Yuanjie's tone was full of confidence and affirmation.

When she spoke, it was as if the entire church bowed to her presence, her words radiating undeniable authority and contempt.

This pillar of the Federation easily revealed the identity of No. 13, just like naming a dish.

Then he said with contempt:

"You are here before me, trying to calm the emotions of these federal citizens you dragged into this 'real dreamland'. Do you intend to surrender yourself and seek leniency?"

Although "induction" in the "mind" realm is more covert than the simple and crude "distorted thinking", it is not easy to be detected until it has taken effect.

As a pillar of the Federation, Xu Yuanjie has many channels to contact people with destiny in other fields. Even when facing fields that she is not involved in, she has accumulated a lot of experience.

Xu Yuanjie didn't know the specific psychological activities of No. 13, but she could see that he was trying hard to calm the emotions of those who were still trapped in nightmares.

This made Xu Yuanjie curl her lips and she just found it funny.

Because, it is obvious that the priest in front of him is the culprit, a super criminal who attempts to undermine the public security of the federation, but now he looks compassionate and cares about the people more than himself, a pillar of the federation.

But when Xu Yuanjie thought about the slogan of the "Real Dreamland" brochure and the other party's activity records, she realized that the other party was not hypocritical.

This wild dog who is not accepted by his lover is just plain stupid and lacks the beating of society.

But actually, the fact that No. 13 is so stupid is also related to Xu Yuanjie...

"...Who are you? Why do you know so much?"

Thirteen's voice grew colder.

Then, he heard Xu Yuanjie's chuckle.

"If a protective umbrella doesn't even know what it's protecting, then isn't it a failure?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Yuanjie closed her eyes, shook her head gently and talked to herself.

"No... I seem to be a failed umbrella, otherwise..."

"How could I mistake you for his free-range pet?"

!

As soon as the words fell, before No. 13 could think about who the "he" Xu Yuanjie was talking about was.

Number Thirteen's eyes suddenly became dull, and the scripture in his hand slipped out of his hand without him noticing.

He was dominated.

Xu Yuanjie also stopped her slow approach, and a silver chain as thin as a rope appeared in her hand.

Walking was just to make it easier to talk. In fact, the dominant power had already invaded the church when Xu Yuanjie arrived over Qianpeng City by helicopter.

Number Thirteen hadn't even woken up at that time.

Xu Yuanjie also put away the contempt on her face and became a little serious, carefully and meticulously allowing the silver chain to slowly penetrate into the depths of the [Priest's] soul.

As the [pillar] of the Federation, and also the owner of a powerful destiny that snowballs in size, Xu Yuanjie has actually collected destiny owners in many fields, both openly and secretly. Even if we put aside the "power" in the same field, the destiny owners in fields such as "mind", "destruction", "healing", "dream", etc. are all under the control of the [ruler].

Those that are not under the control of the [Ruler] are either extremely rare and difficult to find even with the use of federal forces; or they are similar to the "omniscience" field, where the [transcendence] of this related field closely monitors every fate owner in the field; or they are so unique that they cannot be defined by a field; or they are new fields that have just been born.

Logically speaking, people with the "Faith" field are not rare, and it is also very old, so people can have experience to follow. As a pillar of the Federation, Xu Yuanjie should not be unable to capture even one.

However, the field of "faith" has a characteristic that makes it very difficult for people with the fate of the field of "power" to be conquered. That is, faith must be formed by self-drive and cannot be oppressed by external things.

The “power” domain focuses on control and influence over others.

The area of “faith” focuses on the inner driving force within the individual.

As a natural born [Transcendence], Xu Yuanjie was accustomed to using her abilities to forcibly dominate. Even though she learned from [Nightmare] that "sincere feelings can bring deeper domination", Xu Yuanjie was still accustomed to getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later, dominating first and then cultivating feelings.
