What’s wrong with the dream world!

[Nightmare], who could only sense "fear", thought that the lesson was enough and Fang Xuemu should have been afraid, so he planned to pull her back from the deep dream to the surface dream.

But Nightmare did not perceive any other emotions besides fear.

Fang Xuemu was very familiar with this pulling feeling.

She was obviously terrified just now and even wanted to cry, but now she just wanted to laugh... Even in a state of nothingness, she couldn't cry or laugh.

But she still wanted to laugh.

I want to laugh quietly, I want to laugh loudly, I want to laugh heartily, I want to laugh until I forget everything else.

The fear brought to her by nothingness did not subside, but a warm current had warmed her heart, blurring the line between the pain brought by fear and the comfort brought by warmth.

The dark side of the Two-Faced Man can break free from the constraints of nothingness and temporarily seize control of the body from the positive side, even if there are obstacles from drugs, even if everything in reality does not welcome her.

Although she was always pushed back to the deepest part of her body in the end, she was always able to gather herself and make Fang Xuehan "sick" again in the eyes of outsiders.

She didn't need help, and no one helped her. At that time, almost everyone believed that Fang Xuehan was the only owner of the body.

Until one day she suddenly felt an unfamiliar pulling sensation.

Just like the pulling feeling now.

[Nightmare] was the first person to take the initiative to pull her out of the deepest void of her consciousness.

……

……

"Ha! I knew it!"

Fang Xuemu sat up from the bed, stretched out her slender index finger to touch her chin, and said to herself thoughtfully:

"Even in a dream, he couldn't tell whether we were lying or acting."

The tear-stained face and scarlet eyes blinked, as if planning some bad idea.

Then, Fang Xuehan's confused voice came from Fang Xuemu's heart.

"...Lying? Acting?"

Fang Xuehan didn't think Fang Xuemu was acting.

As sisters who are close both mentally and physically, Fang Xuehan's excessive empathy and indecisive judgment may make her easily deceived and misled by outsiders.

But Fang Xuemu couldn't, because Fang Xuehan was too familiar with her sisters.

The fear, the pain, the dejection did not seem to be acted. The annoying smile on his face now seemed more like the result of willpower pulling muscles, which seemed forced rather than coming naturally from the inside out.

Maybe not painful enough, but definitely very lost.

"Can you return your body to me now? Logically speaking, that period of time still belongs to me."

'No! Wait a moment!'

Fang Xuemu rejected Fang Xuehan's request, but did not run to the computer to play games as usual. Instead, he continued to stay in bed, stroking his chin and thinking seriously.

Then Fang Xuehan understood.

In fact, although today's "Two-Faced People" still cannot communicate with each other's minds and feelings, they still have a way to feel each other's true emotions, that is, when the emotions of the party controlling the body fluctuate violently, the other party takes over control of the body.

The psychology can affect the physiology. The emotions that remain in the body may not be strong enough, but they are enough to be distinguished.

In Fang Xuehan's view, Fang Xuemu refused to switch, but did not do things that could only be done with a body, such as playing games, reading novels, and reading comics. Instead, he sat on the bed and thought seriously.

Then it must be my sister who is being stubborn again.

In fact, his sisters were just afraid of their brother's punishment. Their fragile expressions were almost exactly the same as they were many years ago. At best, they just quickly cheered up.

But even so, because the torture...punishment Fang Xuemu suffered was real, Fang Xuehan still had a little sympathy for her sister in her heart and did not expose Fang Xuemu's weak appearance.

Fang Xuehan repeated what Yu Xiude had just said to her without hiding anything, so that her sister could at least understand the current situation.

When Fang Xuemu heard the word "deal", she did not answer. Instead, she continued to pretend to be thinking. She did not respond to Fang Xuehan, and it was unclear whether she had heard it or not.

After retelling the story, Fang Xuehan felt a little emotional.

This retelling, which allowed the other party to understand the situation, reminded her of the past, when the two souls of the "Two-Faced Man" could not remain awake at the same time.

During that period, Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan were not close sisters, but completely incompatible like water and fire. Relatively speaking, the mere existence of the two was reducing the living space of the other.

The two couldn't even communicate with each other, because in Fang Meifen's instructions based on her own shallow understanding, even Fang Xuehan thought that Fang Xuemu was her hysteria... or a ghost. She never had the idea of understanding Fang Xuemu and had no ability to communicate with him.

But fortunately, things are different now.

Now, the [Two-Faced Man] has grown to the point where both sides can stay awake at the same time. Even if only one person still has control of the body, the other person does not have to fall into a deep sleep and can even have a very vague perception of the outside world.

This state, equivalent to severe myopia and severe deafness, certainly still couldn't satisfy them, but it at least offered a glimmer of hope—proving that the "two-faced person" could continue to develop. Fate is a fascinating quality, and perhaps one day, as it develops and expands, two souls will no longer find a single body too crowded.

Not only that, this also allows the two to achieve real communication and negotiation without the intervention of external forces, becoming sisters who can have conflicts rather than enemies who cannot coexist.

【Two-Faced Man】The most dangerous period has passed.

At this moment, Fang Xuehan, deep inside her body, vaguely imagined her sisters in her mind, controlling her body and stroking her chin as she thought, but she did not interrupt her behavior of wasting time and doing nothing just to be tough.

Although she calls herself the elder sister, Fang Xuehan, who has been awake longer, actually feels guilty towards Fang Xuemu, who has been awake shorter. She thinks she has taken away too much of what should be equally shared, such as her mother's love and time to interact with the world...

Therefore, after Yu Xiu De left and the rules he left behind gradually lost their deterrent effect in the hearts of the two, Fang Xuehan agreed to Fang Xuemu's "fair request" and gave most of the time for fun and enjoyment to Fang Xuemu, while she spent all the time on studying hard and helping with housework on herself.

"Sigh... Although Mu is wasting her time, as her older sister, I still owe her something."

"Let her occupy my body for a while... I'll also think about some things."

Thinking does not require control of the body.

Fang Xuehan thought so, and at the same time, she couldn't help feeling a little sentimental.

She was thinking about how to repay Yu Xiu De's kindness.

However, he found that the favor from Yu Xiu De seemed not only unrepayable, but he also owed more and more, and even brought trouble to Yu Xiu De.

Fang Xuehan has not forgotten that [Dream Man] is the trouble that the superhero twins brought to their families.

"...Shouldn't I have stopped Mu?"

Dark thoughts that had never occurred before began to grow in Fang Xuehan's heart, like a piece of pure white stained with a hint of black.

"If I hadn't stopped Mu and slowed her down, but had immediately pierced that super criminal's brain before he could react, rendering him unable to think..."

So does the [Dream Man] still have time to use his abilities?

Will I cause trouble to my brother?

Will my sister and I still be considered troublesome...?

"By the way, Han."

Fang Xuemu, who had always been outspoken and only liked to talk big in front of Yu Xiu De, was unaware of her sister's psychological changes. She lay on the bed with her arms and legs spread out, her tone a little melancholy.

"Is it true that the way I speak really annoys people?"

The girl was reflecting, and the color of her scarlet eyes seemed to have faded a little.

It's like a hint of white appears in the dark red color.

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 108: Split Sides: Retracing the Past

Yu Xiu De hung up the phone, ended the dream, and confirmed one thing again.

That means people with this destiny are really troublesome.

"Is it that it's easy to change a country but hard to change one's nature, or is this just the fate of a Two-Faced Person, the more kind they are, the more evil they become, the more reasonable they are, the more stubborn they become?"

Although he lacked sufficient understanding of some common sense issues, the research institute had provided Yu Xiu De with a large number of samples for observation, which allowed him to vaguely sense the influence of fate on people.

The confusion of the [Priest], the abnormality of the [Superman], the desire for power of the [Ruler]... the split of the [Two-Faced Man].

The more brutal Fang Xuemu is, the gentler Fang Xuehan is; the more evil Fang Xuemu is, the kinder Fang Xuehan is... Maybe that's how it is.

Yu Xiu De analyzed it in his mind and had a basis for his thinking.

In the past, he had also learned about advancement and backwardness, civilization and barbarism from dreams, and learned from the experiences. He had also educated some children who were born bad in dreams that were close to reality.

The dream of [Nightmare] gave Yu Xiu De, who had never actually raised a child, the opportunity to make mistakes and gain experience.

Although many died, many were disabled, and many went crazy, in the end there were still more successful cases... At that time, Yu Xiu De believed that he had completely figured out how to teach a child like Fang Xuemu who was evil by nature and had innate character flaws.

Because there are a large number of samples about Fang Xuemu.

But the facts proved that dreams are just dreams after all. Fang Xuemu in the dream did grow up well.

But in reality, Fang Xuemu had clearly straightened her legs, but they would go crooked again if she wasn't careful.

It is probably the influence of "fate". The error in the simulation of fate in [Nightmare]'s dream is still quite large.

Yu Xiu De didn't teach Fang Xue Mu a lesson because she acted disrespectful and asked for a beating. Yu Xiu De's standards were not actually high. He just wanted Fang Xue Mu to communicate well... Even if the language was a little vulgar, he would tolerate it.

But Fang Xuemu continued to talk nonsense to herself, making Yu Xiude feel like he was talking at cross purposes.

This situation was undoubtedly unusual and infuriating, but Yu Xiu De was already used to it, and after imposing the punishment according to convention, he did not feel too entangled or angry.

"After all, not every person with a natural destiny can consciously control themselves like me and overcome the instincts brought about by their destiny."

Yu Xiu De felt that he must be different from those who possessed the innate life character. After all, if he had not been restrained, he would not have waited until No. 13 came to him before he got involved and took advantage of fear.

He could have realized the power of "fear" earlier, but he was always worried that his fate would affect his personality. However, as time passed, he felt that he could use "memory dreams" to stabilize his mental state and memory, and he no longer needed to worry about the impact of his fate on himself.

After all, in Yu Xiu De's view, fate is no different from money and power. When a person has a lot of money and great power, he will definitely be different from those who have no money and no power, and he may even be unable to empathize with his past self.

As long as you don't get out of line with the public, it's fine.

In this regard, Yu Xiu De thought he had done quite well.

"Having lived two lives actually sets me apart from most people with a natural life type. I don't need to force them to be like me. After all, I'm an anomaly in this world, too."

Yu Xiu De thought for a while, then generously stopped worrying about Fang Xuemu's personality.

He walked into the bathroom, ready to take a shower and go to bed.

He didn't plan to eat dinner and wanted to go straight to bed, but out of a slight psychological obsession with cleanliness, he decided to take a shower first.

The ability of "Dream Man" in the hands of [Nightmare] is not an ability like "Rewind" that can only fix the state at a certain moment. Its essence is actually to replace the state of oneself in the dream with the reality to a limited extent, and the interaction between reality and dreams can be carried out at the same time with only a part of them overlapping.

Therefore, there will be no need to go back to an empty state when keeping the body clean; nor will there be the need to tidy up one's appearance when going from an empty state to a full state.

This is no longer the original level of the [Dreamer]'s ability. The original [Dreamer] had to completely immerse his body in the dream before he could rely on the characteristics of the "dream" to recover. This is why he is at the low level of the super criminals wanted list... Because as long as he is made unconscious before activating his ability, at least during the coma he will be no different from an ordinary person.

Last night, after spending some worthwhile effort, Yu Xiu De had already thoroughly understood the ability mechanism of the [Dream Man].

Unless under special circumstances, the [Dreamer] will not dream. He will only appear in dreams, so his coma is a real coma. If the damage he suffers in the dream is not dealt with in time, it will also be reflected in reality.

"Because the dreamer was registered in the federal archives, Fang Xuemu must have been aware of his characteristics. That's why she didn't use the usual cat-and-mouse game to slowly torture him, but instead attempted to kill him with one strike."

Feeling the warm water flowing across his skin, Yu Xiu De applied shampoo twice to his head, and recalled the scenes he saw last night in the "memory dream" he created for "Dream Man", a large number of love scenes that were not censored and had a heavy taste, mixed with a few bloody and violent horror scenes.

The creeping shadows in the alley, the shadow spear that passed across the cheek and almost pierced the head of the [Dreamer], and a girl wearing strange clothes, black, red, white and blue colors, and the overall style of her dress was different on both sides, and there was a hint of surprise in the girl's eyes.

It was obvious that the other consciousness of the [Two-Faced Man] interfered with the actions of the other consciousness, resulting in negligence, and it was this negligence that gave the [Dreamer] the opportunity to escape.

"So it's not just Fang Xuemu... Fang Xuehan hasn't improved at all compared to the past either, and is still a cause for concern."

Yu Xiu De felt that the personalities of these two Xiao Dengs seemed to be hopeless from the very beginning and could only be modified with some difficulty.

It cannot be said that his open-minded education had no effect on them, but it also had very limited results. They were clearly at the age when they were most easily shaped, but adults like Guan Weizhong were easier to guide than either of them.

"Alas... the owner of the Heavenly Life Character..."

In my heart, I once again lamented the abnormality of those with a natural destiny, and once again boasted a little in my heart that although I have a natural destiny, I have lived two lives as a human being and am still normal.

Yu Xiu De dried his body with a towel, changed into pajamas, walked out of the bathroom, came to the bedroom door and stopped.

An idea suddenly popped into his mind.

The previous [Nightmare] was actually unable to enter dreams physically. When he fell asleep, he was at his strongest and weakest stage. In order to ensure safety, he had to set some triggers on his body to force him to enter dreams... This could not even protect him from long-range sniping and unconscious influences.

But the ability of the "Dream Man" brought him another possibility.

'Can I completely immerse my body in the dream?'

With this thought in mind, he opened the door and saw the neatly made bed, the neatly folded quilt, and the soft white feather pillow resting on the bed board.

[Nightmare] did not enter the dream, he was still in his bedroom in reality.

He couldn't enter his dream directly in the physical body.

But Yu Xiu De did not give up. Instead, he started to make the next attempt.
