What’s wrong with the dream world!

After hearing this, Liu Liangrui realized that something was wrong, and his logical consciousness, which had been slightly disturbed by the dream, suddenly became clear.

Clearly, one second ago, I could still see the rise and fall of his breathing, but the next second, he suddenly looked like a corpse that had been dead for over an hour...

I just randomly guessed that he might have a heart disease, but I happened to see a very conspicuous bottle of medicine on the bedside table, and this bottle happened to be for treating heart disease...

Liu Liangrui felt a chill in his heart as he discovered that there were more and more obviously abnormal phenomena in his memories.

People like him who hold high positions will more or less have some means to counter the abilities of the "mind" realm - after all, the "mind" realm has developed to the point where it has become a well-known realm of evil spirits, as proven by countless historical cases.

Liu Liangrui set up a passive "destruction" on himself to specifically defend against the "mental" field, which can destroy abilities that ignore the priority of [Distortion] and below. Even [Paradox] can at least make him feel it.

But at this moment, he was completely unaware of it, and only realized it after the man in front of him reminded him... This also meant that the influence that interfered with his thinking did not come from the "mind" realm.

Combined with the other party's words, if we put aside the possibility of tactical verbal confusion, then it is very likely an influence from the "dream" realm.

It was the first time that Liu Liangrui had seen someone with the destiny of the "dream" realm. Without any derivation, he directly used the power of pure "dream" to interfere with his thinking, making the "destruction" specially used to defend against the "mind" realm ineffective.

In other words, the owner of this fate not only has a very high priority in ability, but also knows how to use his ability very well... Even if such a person is the owner of an illegal fate, he should not be an unknown person!

"Who are you!"

Liu Liangrui asked in a deep voice.

"Just a neighbor who got dragged into family affairs for no apparent reason."

Yu Xiu De's voice remained calm, even with a hint of frankness.

The words he just said, which were almost explicit about his abilities, were not actually meant to be told to Liu Liangrui. Even after being dragged into the dream, everything was already destined.

Yu Xiu De mainly wanted to make the other two people present understand the situation a little bit.

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhu Yajing raised her head, and the thick, rolling black mist on her body solidified in an instant.

She looked at Yu Xiu De in disbelief, unable to confirm whether the resurrected Yu Xiu De was real or imaginary... No, she couldn't even confirm whether the familiar figure walking out of the elevator was her familiar neighbor.

The usual calmness, gentleness and indifference would only appear abnormal and weird in the bloody corridor.

The restless black mist on Zhu Yajing's body shortened a section, but a few wisps of different soft black air appeared. That was the "fear" that she could not drive by instinct at the moment.

Yu Xiu De's appearance not only made Liu Liangrui feel uneasy, but also frightened Zhu Yajing.

Nightmare noticed this, but didn't want to explain. He pointed his index finger at the headless bamboo zither beside Zhu Yajing and gently reminded her:

"If you're scared, don't watch it."

This sentence was said to Zhu Yajing.

But in fact, it would be better not to say it, because as soon as the words fell, Zhu Yajing and Liu Liangrui instinctively followed the tip of Yu Xiude's index finger and looked at the headless corpse.

The next second, the bleeding from the broken neck of the headless Zhuqin stopped, and the twisted granulation tissue grew upward like bamboo shoots after rain, solidified, and took shape, quickly growing the outline of a head against biological logic.

Afterwards, long black hair emerged densely from the pores on the top of the head, the structure of the skull gradually took shape, the eyeballs emerged from the depths of the eye sockets like blooming flowers, and the bloody and hideous pieces of flesh rotted and settled into dry skin.

The black mist and black air on Zhu Yajing's body had dissipated. She forced herself to focus her gaze on her mother, and a hint of anticipation arose in her heart.

Things can't get any worse, can they?

Liu Liangrui watched helplessly as the woman he had killed with his own hands was resurrected in this visually impactful form.

He covered his mouth and couldn't help but dry heave. His expression was dazed, as if it had aroused the fear that was hidden in his heart and almost forgotten.

This is normal, because although this is a hypothetical dream created by [Nightmare], the dreamer is not Yu Xiu De himself, but Zhu Ya Jing and Liu Liang Rui. It's just that Yu Xiu De can change the parameters in the dream at will, and just now Yu Xiu De only modified the parameters of Zhu Qin's death.

As for the method of resurrection, this dream, which has transformed from a hypothetical dream into a nightmare, is of course expressed in a way that can most arouse Liu Liangrui's fear.

This has nothing to do with whether Liu Liangrui is a person who has experienced many battles and fought his way through the battlefield.

Everyone has a nightmare that they can't escape.

But not everyone is without the opportunity to resolve their nightmares.

Especially with the help of a true [Nightmare] with an emotional intelligence like the sea.

After being resurrected, Zhuqin did not look at her daughter beside her. She just turned her head and looked at the gloomy Liu Liangrui with empty eyes, as if she knew exactly what Liu Liangrui said to her daughter after her death.

She doesn't look like a dream NPC.

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 132 Family Dispute Mediation

Nightmare, who already understood the whole cause and effect, would not vent his anger on Zhu Yajing and Zhu Qin because of Liu Liangrui's actions even if he was implicated.

Even in reality, he had never felt the so-called family warmth or parental love in either his previous life or this life. However, after understanding what Liu Liangrui wanted to do, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy and pity for the two of them.

Yu Xiu De is afraid of trouble, but he doesn't seek trouble.

But if something has already happened, then deal with it properly.

Since I have been inexplicably dragged into this melodramatic yet inexplicably logical family affair that even the federal 8 o'clock evening romance dramas dare not portray... then as a human being in two lives, even out of the most basic empathy, I should use the experience and emotional intelligence accumulated in dreams to provide some meager help.

This is what Yu Xiu De thought.

……

Mother……

Mother?

A silent call, mixed with doubts that currently cannot be answered.

The black mist on Zhu Yajing's body, which symbolized the materialization of "resentment", and the black air, which symbolized the substance of "fear", still had not dissipated. Everything that happened late at night was so sudden that it made her a little confused.

If the first half, that is, the uneasiness and fear that Liu Liangrui brought to her when he came to her house was real, then the second half, that is, everything that happened after Liu Liangrui opened the door of Yu Xiu De's house, made Zhu Yajing feel like she was in a nightmare.

A dream that feels incredibly real and clear.

To the point that she is now even unsure whether her mother and neighbor are dead or alive, or whether they are real or fake.

Zhuqin stood up from the floor. Her clothes were still stained with blood, making her look like a ghost in a horror movie. She stared blankly at Liu Liangrui on the other side of the corridor.

However, when Liu Liangrui saw Zhuqin had returned to its original appearance, he calmed down.

As if he felt that his retching just now was a bit inappropriate, Liu Liangrui took a deep breath, slowly put his hand down, and pretended to be calm as he adjusted his collar.

During this period, he tried to use his abilities to "destroy" himself in the dream, and then break free from the dream and come to reality.

But just like touching that man, it had no effect.

Now he is completely unaware of the existence of his own abilities, just like an ordinary person.

ordinary people...

Liu Liangrui, who understood the current situation, suppressed the anger in his heart and put on a hypocritical smile.

"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't recognize you just now."

He used honorifics.

As the commander-in-chief of the federation and a pillar of the military, he is not the kind of person who would be stubborn even if he couldn't see the situation clearly. After all, a real man is one who can bend and stretch.

Showing weakness now is for the future. As it stands now, the battle has already ended quietly.

Being dragged into a dream by a person with the fate of the "Dream" realm does not mean the end of the battle. Some dreams of the people with the fate of the "Dream" realm require the people dragged into the dream to believe in them before they will take effect, and some can even use the rules of the "Dream" to hurt the other party.

Being the owner of a certain fate does not mean that you can do whatever you want in this field. The abilities of most people with this fate are subject to various constraints and restrictions.

But the experienced Liu Liangrui also knew that if a person with the "Dream" realm destiny actively reminded the person who was dragged into the dream in a dream, and that person only realized that he was in a dream, then it was basically equivalent to declaring that person's defeat.

The most urgent thing is to avoid angering the other person as much as possible... although the other person may have been angered by one's previous actions in the dream.

But the situation is not hopeless.

Liu Liangrui was not completely clueless about the identity of Yu Xiu De, the owner of the powerful "Dream" realm destiny, but had some guesses in his heart.

He completely ignored the angry Zhu Qin, and his eyes were all on Yu Xiu De, the owner of this fate, and he tentatively brought up a seemingly irrelevant topic.

"Last night, a large-scale forced dream event involving a cult occurred in Qianpeng City. The unrest was ultimately brought to an end when the illegal bearer of the [Priest] fate was apprehended."

Zhu Qin, with a hollow look in her eyes, trembled when she heard Liu Liangrui's words, as if she recalled something bad. Her gaze, which had originally been on Liu Liangrui, shifted slightly, wanting to fall on Yu Xiu De who was between the two of them, but she finally held back.

She is the real Zhuqin, not the Zhuqin in Liu Liangrui and Zhu Yajing's dreams, nor the Zhuqin in [Nightmare]'s dream.

In reality, Zhuqin also happened to be returning home from get off work during this time period, but when Yu Xiude in reality noticed her, he pulled her consciousness into the dream and made her play the role in the dream.

Zhuqin had just walked out of the elevator in a hypothetical dream when she was awakened by Liu Liangrui and died from a headshot. In a state of extreme fear, she was pulled out from the dream from a third-person perspective and watched what happened next. Only then did she realize something belatedly.

By changing the forgetting mechanism of dreams, [Nightmare] makes Zhuqin recall what happened in her "real dreamland" last night, comforting this middle-aged woman who is terrified by the extremely real death.

look.

This isn't the first time you've experienced death in a dream.

As someone with extensive experience of death in dreams, Yu Xiu De sincerely believed that this kind of comfort was very effective, and it would also help Zhu Qin understand the situation more easily.

He had no intention of hiding his identity from his neighbors any longer.

……

Zhuqin stared at Liu Liangrui angrily, but also observed Yu Xiude nervously out of the corner of her eye, as if she was afraid of something.

Zhu Yajing, who had regained her hearing, also realized something. The black mist on her body stopped growing, and the black air quickly dissipated, and her lifeless eyes regained their light.

Yu Xiu De had a calm expression, stood with his hands behind his back, and did not interrupt Liu Liangrui.

"Afterwards, the [Ruler], one of the Federation's pillars, submitted a report claiming that the blame for this incident lay entirely with the [Priest], the holder of the illegal fate. He exploited the unique paradoxical abilities of his faith realm to act as if another holder of the dream realm fate was in control..."

"But at the moment, it seems she may have misjudged... That unknown dream realm fate holder does exist..."

Liu Liangrui stared at Yu Xiude's face and said in a serious tone:

"You are the nightmare of 'Real Dreamland', right?"

He tried to find a change on that calm face that could confirm or deny his guess, but failed. The young man's expression remained indifferent. He didn't shake his head or nod, and he didn't show any intention of answering.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of negotiating, Liu Liangrui took a deep breath and decided to try another approach.

That's the threat!

It doesn’t matter even if the other party is the owner of a hidden fate. There may be omissions in the federal database, but there will also be most of the real information. At present, it seems that the other party is not pretending to be the owner of Yu Xiu De’s fate, so don’t start from the perspective of the fate owner, but from the social identity of Yu Xiu De himself!

Liu Liangrui remembered that before arriving at Zhu Yajing's home, he had already sent his trusted aide, the "Instigator," disguised as a super criminal, to deal with the "Two-Face"... He wasn't sure if he had succeeded, but perhaps he could use this as a threat...

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yu Xiu De's leisurely voice.

"The time in dreams is not based on your subjective feelings, but in reality, I have already received messages from my two sisters."

"They're both more capable than I thought."

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Yu Xiu De looked at Liu Liang Rui calmly.

Facing the calm gaze, Liu Liangrui felt his scalp tingling, but even so he still did not give up struggling.

"If a powerful Dream Realm Fate holder like you didn't kill me immediately, it means there must be something we can discuss... Either you fear the death mechanism of the Fate holder, or you have something else to ask of me."

"Let's get this straight, young man."

Liu Liangrui pretended to be calm and straightened his collar, as if regaining the decency and composure he had when he first faced Zhu Yajing.

After he recovered from his retching, he didn't even glance at Zhu Qin and Zhu Ya Jing while speaking, and his entire attention was focused on Yu Xiu De.

This made Zhuqin even more angry. Under Zhu Yajing's surprised gaze, black mist also appeared on her body... That was Zhuqin's resentment towards Liu Liangrui.

Zhu Yajing, who has just awakened, although her abilities are still in a "destroyed" state, already has the vision of a person with a destiny and can sense the concepts involved in the field.

In Zhu Yajing's eyes, her mother wanted to pounce on Liu Liangrui, pull off his ears, tear off his mouth, and gouge out his eyes - from the current point of view, her bastard father lost the power of his destiny in the dream and was no different from an ordinary person.

However, Zhu Yajing was unable to judge from the perspective of the owner of the fate why her mother was reluctant to take action. She could only see that the strong resentment surging in her mother seemed to be bound by something heavier, but she could not tell what was pressing on the black fog.

Because Zhu Yajing cannot see "fear" at the moment.

Yu Xiu De ignored Liu Liang Rui's words and looked at Zhu Qin, whose strong resentment was suppressed by even heavier fear in his view, and walked towards her.

There were less than three steps between the two of them, but with every step Yu Xiude took, Zhuqin's breathing rate doubled!

Zhuqin hates Liu Liangrui!

But when she was awakened from her "real dream" by [Nightmare], she was also very afraid of Yu Xiu De!

"You seem a little nervous, Ms. Zhuqin."

"After all, when we first met in reality, you were bluffing. And when we first met in this dream, you were a coward's excuse... Both meetings were meaningless and emotionally draining for both parties."

Yu Xiu De came behind Zhu Qin, and his calm voice, as peaceful as a still pond, fell into Zhu Qin's ears, like an invisible monster crawling out of a dark and terrifying abyss, pressing heavily on her shoulders, making her a little breathless.

But soon, as [Nightmare] changed the subject, this heavy pressure turned into incomparable lightness.
