The bed, which was not very big to begin with, gradually became unable to accommodate two people.

In the end, Zhu Yajing took the initiative to choose to sleep on the floor in the bedroom, and sometimes if Zhu Yueyu went to bed early, Zhu Yajing would choose to sleep on the sofa in the living room.

Zhu Yueyu endured the pain in her body, stuck her head out, and saw through the crack in the door that there was still a faint light on in the corridor.

My sister might be waiting for my mother. Strictly speaking, it’s too early to go to bed now.

But after a whole day of intermittent exercise, Zhu Yueyu was really exhausted...

"This is the nth time I have decided to lose weight..."

Zhu Yueyu lay back on the bed, muttering to herself, and at the same time, using the lingering muscle soreness in her body to recall the feeling of exercising during the day.

Her muscles ached and her joints were stiff, as if they had been crushed; her head was dizzy and her vision was black, as if she was about to collapse at any time; her heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest; her stomach was churning and she felt nauseous... If Zhu Yajing hadn't forced her to do so, Zhu Yueyu wouldn't even want to eat the diet meal.

She might not give up the next day, but her enthusiasm would not last for more than a few days.

But after waking up from the dream...

"This is the last time I'll lose weight!"

Zhu Yueyu closed her eyes and swore secretly.

This time, she did not, as she did in the past, swear in her heart that her sister would remain single for the rest of her life as a mischievous prank.

Losing weight and staying healthy are her own business.

"But the voice in my dream always sounded familiar..."

Zhu Yueyu soon fell asleep again.

This is another beautiful dream, but it is not a dream about the satisfaction of eating, nor is it a fantasy dream that regards fat as beautiful. Instead, it is a dream about facing all the beautiful things in life after she successfully loses weight.

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 116 Fish Miscalculated

Just as Zhu Yueyu woke up from a nightmare, a colorful vortex appeared out of nowhere in Yu Xiude's bedroom.

The vortex continued to expand, and the space it occupied seemed to be splashed with paint. It was blurry at first, then gradually became clear, and finally formed a man wearing office worker clothes and with empty eyes.

It is the fish that cultivates virtue.

He stroked his white shirt, feeling the texture of the fabric, a pensive expression on his face.

[Nightmare] clearly remembered that before he fell asleep, he was not wearing the standard office worker uniform, but a comfortable T-shirt and trousers for easy sleeping.

However, the clothes he is wearing now are the clothes that his dream image wore when he woke up from the dream.

This is the ability of the "Dream Man".

The "person" in "dream person" includes the clothes worn by the character.

Yu Xiu De pondered for a moment, and then disappeared and reappeared like colorful mist.

He raised his right hand as if holding something, but there was nothing in his hand.

"..."

Attempts to bring other objects from the dream into reality failed.

Yu Xiu De did not give up. He disappeared and reappeared in the bedroom again and again. Each time he was wearing different clothes, but each time he seemed to be holding something in his hands.

Of course, there was nothing.

Yu Xiu De was still unwilling to give up and changed his mind.

'Where are the pockets?'

He put his hand in his pocket.

But of course, still nothing was achieved.

"This ability's evaluation mechanism is somewhat peculiar. I don't know if it's influenced by my subjective judgment or if it has its own set of rules... And to activate it, I must invade someone else's dream, not my own..."

Yu Xiude turned his eyes to the cell phone and wallet on the bedside table.

"I can't bring anything other than clothes into it either. In other words, every time I activate my ability, I'd better put my wallet, phone and other personal belongings in a safe place... It's really inconvenient."

Yu Xiu De summarized the abilities of the "Dream Man" and felt a little regretful.

However, this is also reasonable.

After all, [fate] is not omnipotent. Even if through development and derivation, it can enable them to do things that were originally impossible, it ultimately requires the help of talent and long-term efforts to make the ability more comprehensive.

When Nightmare can blur the line between dreams and reality at will, its abilities are theoretically almost all-encompassing.

However, it is difficult to define the upper limit. Yu Xiu De once took the name literally and thought about what level other [fates] could reach based on their names.

Take the "masses" as an example, the most mysterious but clearly collective entity in the Federal Permanent Council.

How many people are there in the "Mass"? Does the "Mass" also include the person who has the fate? Can the "Mass" forcibly recruit others to become part of the "Mass"?

Any one of these questions is enough to make people think deeply and terrify.

But in fact, these are all very idealistic fantasies, both for ourselves and others.

It's like saying to college students, "Why can't you prepare for the civil service exam on the one hand, the postgraduate exam on the other hand, and the campus recruitment on the other hand..." Ordinary people without [fate] think that the owner of the fate is omnipotent, but only the owner of the fate himself knows how difficult it is to expand his abilities to other fields... and how difficult it is to find the direction.

Ignoring reality and only talking about potential is also a form of daydreaming and a manifestation of indulging in fantasy.

……

Yu Xiu De considers himself not a daydreamer. He believes that self-knowledge and humility are crucial for both those with this fate and ordinary people.

An overflowing imagination would only lead to self-consumption, so Yu Xiu De was now considering more practical issues... such as the small act of kindness he would do for his neighbor tonight.

Finally, he rigorously concluded:

“Perhaps, I really have the potential to become an educator.”

The reason why it is potential rather than already is because Fang Xuemu brought too much frustration to Yu Xiude... From the antisocial Xiao Deng with evil nature to the brutal and naughty kid Xiao Deng, it may not be considered a failure, but it is definitely not a success.

"But there are still many successful cases... For example, that flying guy in the sky, didn't she also go from a moody monster to a respected hero?"

Thinking of a successful case, the humble Yu Xiude still boasted a little in his heart.

Then, he tugged at his collar, and his entire body blurred like a mosaic for a moment, and his clothes changed back to the loose-fitting clothes he had worn at the beginning.

Then he lay down on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, turned off the bedside lamp, and closed his eyes.

He wants to sleep and dream his own dreams.

After all, in the dream, there really is a little thing that needs to be "educated".

I have spent many days in a nightmare in a dream of [Nightmare].

Yu Xiu De did not increase the ratio of the time in the dream state of "Nightmare" to the time in reality too quickly. After all, both education and domestication require very delicate intervention.

——The dream educator is well aware of this, so he only lets the "nightmare" spend a span of more than ten days in the dream in one day of reality.

"Let me see what kind of nature that little thing will unleash after receiving the unrestricted permission in the dream."

……

……

Yu Xiu De appeared in his dream.

Of course, it is only the consciousness, not the body. The [Dreamer] can physically travel through anyone's dream, but cannot completely penetrate his own dream.

It's like a strong man who can't lift himself up.

Yu Xiu De opened his eyes on the big bed that looked no different from the real one.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a familiar little face full of flattery and fawning.

"Yan" looked exactly like Yu Xiu De when he was a child. He had an expression that had never appeared on Yu Xiu De's face before. Like an enthusiastic puppy, he knelt on the floor beside Yu Xiu De's bed, lowered his head, and stared at Yu Xiu De with his dark eyes.

This kind of face-to-face interaction is very similar to the ghost-jumping face in horror games.

But this did not cause any ripples in Yu Xiu De's heart.

"Get off."

Yu Xiude said expressionlessly.

[Nightmare] When I fell asleep, I knew that the nightmare was still in the apartment in the dream, and I could clearly sense that it was watching cartoons on the sofa in the living room.

However, when Yan sensed the breath of "Nightmare", he quickly turned off the TV and, with the characteristics of a dream creature, instantly appeared beside Yu Xiu De's bed, acting like a filial son and grandson who had been waiting for a long time.

Yan really wanted to please Yu Xiu De.

Hearing Yu Xiu De's calm scolding, Yan obediently stood aside.

Yu Xiu De sat up from the bed, wearing clothes that were no different from those in real life.

He looked silently at Yan, who was standing with his hands behind his back and a well-behaved look on his face.

"..."

As the owner of the destiny in the "dream" realm, and in his own dream, Yu Xiu De can easily know the current situation of this dream.

That is, almost no major changes have occurred.

This was really beyond Yu Xiu De's expectations.

He used this highly complete dream as food to feed the nightmare, and it was not fake, but his purpose was not simply to feed the nightmare, but to see what kind of activities the nightmare would perform without the restraint of its liberated nature.

And use this to adjust the next plan to tame or educate the child, similar to how some parents like to deliberately tell their children, "I'm afraid I'll be back very late because I'm working overtime today. Don't secretly play with your phone or computer when you're home alone..." Then secretly check the changes in the WiFi traffic of the home router to determine whether the child is lying, and take this information into consideration when planning the child's future life.

Dream educators are also proficient in this kind of fishing education.

Even Yu Xiu De did it more thoroughly.

He would even think it was a waste if the bait was eaten.

The thrifty Nightmare was not reluctant to give up this relatively complete real dream, but he also did not want to feed Nightmare so much, so in this dream, he deliberately fabricated some dream characters with prototypes such as the Ruler, Superman, and permanent directors.

They certainly can't be identical to real life, nor do they possess the same internal logic as those vividly realized beings in dreams, but rather merely subjective and arbitrary manifestations. Nightmare dreams can't create a fate identical to that of real people. They may possess the same genuine emotions as real people, but they don't possess a "real" fate.

For the owner of a destiny, destiny is like memory, personality, and organs, and is an inseparable part of them.

But even this is enough to stop the greedy Nightmare, because the characters imagined by Nightmare may be more powerful than the real ones in terms of their performance alone.

Just as it is very difficult to destroy the world in reality, but in the dreams of many people, the world has been destroyed countless times.

Yu Xiu De had already made his plans.

He did not break his promise by doing this. He did give this dream to Nightmare as its food. However, just like in reality, being too arrogant will definitely be punished. In a dream that is infinitely close to reality, being too inflated will also be punished.

Those tough guys are part of the dream and part of the food. If you can't swallow them, it's your own problem, just like some weak kittens will be slapped by the fish's tail.

After the nightmare is defeated, I, as an experienced dream educator, will tame it, educate it, and eventually let it develop along the path I want... just like I did with the [Two-Faced Man], and put it on the right track.

Or to be more extreme, let it serve your own purposes...Yan is not a human being anyway.

Nightmare, who uses "memory dreams" to stabilize himself every day, remembers clearly that the nightmare in front of him, who looks like a child, was actually born from the corpse of a double-digit "dream" domain owner, and was created by a "faith" domain owner by superimposing the beliefs and dreams of hundreds of thousands of people into an inhuman creature.

Yu Xiu De’s mind was full of calculations.

But the experienced educator miscalculated at the first step.

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 117 is challenging

In the dream, at the dining table of Yu Xiu De’s house.

[Nightmare] crossed his arms, resting his arms on the table, and looked at the Nightmare across from him expressionlessly. The Nightmare lowered his head, not daring to look directly at [Nightmare].

Then, [Nightmare] said calmly:

"are you not hungry?"

"Hungry, but I can bear it!"

The nightmare's voice was sonorous and powerful, although it still kept its head down.

After receiving such a decisive answer from Yan, Yu Xiu De paused for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Then, he continued to ask:

"I remember I once said that I would give you this dreamland as your food... Do you think I'm deceiving you?"

"No, I believe you!"

Nightmare raised his head, his bloodshot eyes looked strange and ferocious, but his tone was sincere.
