What’s wrong with the dream world!

Through the gap, he saw a rotatable black office chair. Liu Liangrui remembered that he had never placed this kind of chair, which was only used by civil servants in the federal system, in the room.

On the chair, a slender young woman with a back as slender and graceful as an elegant swan's neck, wearing a white shirt and a long black leather skirt, was a typical female cadre in the federal system, wearing nondescript clothing. She had her back to him and sighed.

"Commander Liu Liangrui..."

"!"

Just the familiar back figure was enough to make Liu Liangrui feel a chill in his heart.

The undisguised hostile tone made Liu Liangrui break out in a cold sweat!

"You embarrass me."

Xu Yuanjie, who was playing with her mobile phone in her hand, slowly turned around from the swivel office chair and looked at him coldly.

……

……

in the corridor.

With the death of Liu Liangrui, the hypothetical dream maintained by the consciousness of Zhu Yajing and Liu Liangrui naturally shattered without the interference of the [nightmare], and everyone returned to reality.

Yu Xiu De was squatting, looking at the strange corpse beside him with a calm expression, as if he was not surprised.

"After all, he is a man who was active on the battlefield, achieved many victories, and is worthy of becoming the commander-in-chief of the Federation."

Looking at the unfamiliar face of the man in the bloodstained military uniform, Yu Xiu De, who didn't understand the existence of the "scapegoat", probably understood that Liu Liangrui had escaped. He stood up and looked at Zhu Qin and Zhu Ya Jing, mother and daughter.

Before entering the dream, he not only answered a phone call, he also made a phone call as a precaution.

Zhu Yajing and her daughter also clearly noticed changes in the person lying on the floor.

A trace of fear flashed across Zhuqin's face. She opened her mouth, but was afraid that her next words would be understood by Yu Xiude as contempt for him and would anger him.

In Zhuqin's eyes at this moment, since Liu Liangrui had left, Yu Xiude was the biggest danger!

Anyone who has this fate is in danger!

Without giving it much thought, Zhu Yajing touched her neck and said tentatively:

"Mr. Yu...Xiu...De...cough cough!"

She covered her mouth and coughed up a stream of blood. This was the first time her real body had vomited blood. She assumed that coughing up blood in a dream was part of the dream, but coughing up blood in reality was not.

Yu Xiu De retained the synchronization of her awakening in the hypothetical dream, and forcibly broke through Liu Liangrui's "destruction", which would inevitably cause injuries... But fortunately, it was not irreversible, it was just an ordinary injury to the vocal organs.

It doesn't require the owner of the fate to be cured, even an ordinary doctor can cure it.

"You can use sign language."

Yu Xiu De added calmly.

"Just like usual."

Feeling the pain in her throat and also feeling the unique tenderness and consideration of a neighbor from Yu Xiu De's cold words, Zhu Yajing, feeling very warm in her heart, accepted Yu Xiu De's suggestion.

Zhuqin beside him seemed to be slightly relieved.

But just when Zhu Yajing was about to make a gesture, there was a sound of footsteps suddenly coming from the stairwell.

Under the astonished gazes of Zhuqin and Zhu Yajing, a group of mysterious-looking men in black rushed out from the corridor, holding body bags, strange sprayers, and rags, and cleaned up the scene quickly and professionally.

They don't look like regular staff from the Inspectorate or the Harmonious Symbiosis Bureau.

The man in black who was leading the group bowed deeply to Yu Xiu De.

"Sorry, sir, we're late."

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 139 Ambitious × Ambitious √

"...Trouble."

Looking at the scene that had been cleaned up, Yu Xiu De quietly thanked the men in black.

The best solution to this accident really requires the help of my old classmates.

Even if he really killed the federal commander, his body in reality would be a problem. [Nightmare] couldn't deal with it, so he could only try to dismember it and destroy all traces like an experienced ordinary person... But this was almost like showing off one's skills in front of other people who were good at reconnaissance.

Yu Xiu De needs help from the outside world, and all he can think of at the moment is that he is now in a high position, and his status should be no less than that of his old classmates under the federal commander.

This ambitious... ahem, ambitious old classmate, since she confided some of her thoughts to me in the dream and coveted the highest position of power in the federation, then the source of her goodwill should be as I expected. She regards her concealed identity as a secret weapon, or at least an important chess piece.

Although this sounds like birds of a feather with that of the federal commander, Yu Xiu De, who possesses an emotional intelligence as high as the sea, can tell the difference. Xu Yuanjie adopts a soft approach towards him that is impeccable.

"No trouble, no trouble."

The leading man in black quickly stopped.

Like the members of the "Network of Domination", they are people who are deeply dominated by the [Dominator] but retain their free will and can move freely. However, they are not the owners of the fate, nor are they Xu Yuanjie's confidants, so they don't know the specific relationship between the man in front of them and the adult they are loyal to.

But through the "collective chain", they received the will from the adult and could feel the adult's attention, so they naturally showed humility.

"Collective Link" is a common ability within the realm of "Power," yet it possesses numerous levels and subdivisions, making it difficult to master all of them. Low-level abilities can only slightly enhance cohesion, while higher levels can connect consciousness, with specializations like balancing damage and concentrating strength... It's a highly practical and applicable ability.

Of course, even if the speed of transmitting commands through the consciousness link is faster than that of communication tools, the spatial distance will not be shortened. In order to avoid Yu Xiu De from getting stressed, Xu Yuanjie basically did not place anyone around him.

These men in black had come here through the power of a fate owner. In fact, the equipment they wore also contained the "secret" influence of a fate owner. When they returned, they would have to ask a fate owner to erase the traces of "fate"...

After handling the scene, the men in black left quickly, leaving only Yu Xiu De, Zhu Qin, and Zhu Ya Jing at the scene.

Zhuqin didn't say anything. Her face was completely different from the pale Hongwen in the dream. One could see that she was panicking.

Zhu Yajing looked hesitant.

She could hear the respect and strangeness in the black-clad men's tone, and also the helplessness in Yu Xiude's words. Although she was very curious about Yu Xiude's identity, she did not ask who those black-clad men were. Instead, she apologized in sign language:

"I'm sorry to trouble you."

"really."

After skillfully translating the meaning of the gesture, Yu Xiude nodded and said calmly:

"But the main reason is not you."

As he said this, Yu Xiu De glanced at Zhu Qin and muttered to himself.

"Children can't choose their parents, but wives can choose their husbands..."

After hearing how Zhuqin and Liu Liangrui gave birth to Zhu Yajing, although Yu Xiude did not comment on the fact that others would not hinder one's own way of survival, at least in his opinion, the main reason was not only Liu Liangrui, but also Zhuqin herself had problems.

Not to mention that she was angry with me yesterday afternoon...

"Recall dreams" can ensure that Yu Xiu De remembers a lot of things.

Noticing Yu Xiude's gaze, Zhuqin quickly lowered her head.

At this moment, she was more humble than when she apologized last night, because she now knew that Yu Xiu De was not an ordinary person, and those men in black seemed to be demonstrating the power of this mysterious neighbor... Zhu Yajing only needed to hear a few words to interpret a lot of real information, but as her mother, she was really just an ordinary person after leaving the dream.

She can only accept the limited information of reality and analyze and communicate like an ordinary person.

In the end, Yu Xiu De didn't continue to dwell on who was primarily responsible for waking him up today. He raised his wrist and wanted to check the time on the mechanical watch he was wearing.

What is amazing is that the watch is actually judged by the "dreamer" as a part of the "person", and can travel back and forth between dreams and reality with Yu Xiu De.

"I just don't know if there's a difference between a mechanical watch and a smartwatch... If I can wear a smartwatch, then it doesn't really matter if I can wear a phone..."

While thinking about it, Yu Xiu De decided to find time to buy a smart watch in the future. He confirmed that it was already one o'clock in the morning of the next day.

It's time to lie in bed.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you probably won't see him again... Of course, I said, nothing unexpected will happen. After all, the abilities of the person with the fate are all kinds of strange."

"And I expect that this morning I will be able to give you a more accurate answer."

"Do you have any more questions?"

The rigor inherent in the calm voice makes the proposed possibility no longer disturbing.

Zhu Yajing shook her head to indicate that there was nothing wrong with her, but Zhu Qin, who had just lowered her head and dared not speak, suddenly raised her head, and her trembling voice was mixed with unspeakable worry.

"My daughter...what will happen to her in the future?"

"..."

Yu Xiu De did not answer, but glanced at Zhu Qin, as if he wanted to find other material emotions that he could observe besides the "fear" emanating from this woman.

But no, Nightmare's emotional changes can only be manifested in dreams. In reality, his only emotional perception is still "fear."

Relying on his emotional intelligence and experience, Yu Xiu De knew that Zhu Qin definitely still loved Zhu Ya Jing at this time, but [Nightmare] could not see it.

"Even if one deeply studies a certain field, in unfamiliar territory, the possessor is no different from a deaf and blind disabled person..."

Yu Xiu De sighed inwardly.

In fact, if Liu Liangrui's attention had not been preconceivedly focused on the "shadow" realm and ignored the possibility of the "dream" realm, and he had been directly pulled into the dream without any preparation, Yu Xiu De might not have been able to deal with him easily... When Liu Liangrui's consciousness sank into the dream, Yu Xiu De had been observing him in reality and could sense how exquisite and powerful his power was.

It is somewhat similar to No. 3 in the research institute. If he is not pulled into the dream, he can only run; if he is injured, although he will not die because he is now completely different from before, he will need to sneak into other people's dreams and recover for a long time.

This is how the battle of those with destiny is. A moment of negligence will lead to the collapse of the situation. Ability priority is important, but mentality, combat awareness, and information mastery are equally important.

Of course, back-up plans are also important... Just like I had never imagined that there would be a special ability to "die for someone else"... Even a damaged mental state can be "dead for someone else"... But some back-up plans are unavoidable as long as they exist...

In summary, Yu Xiude felt that his "memory dream" material had been enriched a lot. His mood was neither good nor bad, just a little depressed. He patiently answered Zhuqin's questions:

"I don't know what your daughter's future will be like."

Zhuqin's heart tightened.

But then Yu Xiu De's words made her unsure how to react for a moment.

"But I think if you don't take your daughter to the hospital now, her throat injury will probably take a long time to recover, and the medical expenses will be huge..."

……

……

After sending Zhu Yajing and Zhu Qin, mother and daughter, away, and secretly setting up a triggered "hypothetical dream" on them to ensure everything would be foolproof, Yu Xiu De returned home, closed the door, lay on the bed, and closed his eyes.

He did not continue the interrupted dream, nor did he start anchoring the "memory dream", but opened up a brand new dream. In this dream where time flows slowly and there is nothing but himself, he thought about his future.

He has no expectations for his own face, or rather, compared to the illusory face, which is only regarded as a material emotion by those with the destiny in the "spiritual" realm, Yu Xiu De believes more in action.

Therefore, Yu Xiu De used the "requirement of not violating the bottom line" as a bargaining chip in exchange for Xu Yuanjie's help this time.

The disappearance of a big shot in the Federation would definitely attract the attention of a powerful person in the "omniscient" realm. Coupled with the Pillar's status, it is not impossible to directly attract the attention of the permanent director [Prophet]... Although I should be able to slip away now that I have learned the ability of "Dream Man", I think it would be best to act as a "Runner" and escape to the "chaotic world" outside the Federation.

That was the worst plan, the last resort when there was no other way out. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Yu Xiu De still wanted to survive in a federation with strict hierarchy but orderly and peaceful conditions.

In the more than ten years since he left the institute, he had only encountered such situations a few times, but if he ran to the chaotic countries outside the Federation... he would probably not be able to sleep well or have bad dreams every other day.

As long as I don't run away, the only person I can rely on is Xu Yuanjie.

But if you can't count on it...

"Is it just that I'm unlucky lately, or am I being targeted?"

"From the 'dream lover' welcomed by those two troublesome kids, to the official 'anchor', to Thirteen's 'real dreamland', to the 'attention' of old classmates, to the neighbor's commander-in-chief father... so much happened in just two days. Even if you include the early morning hours, it's only been three or four days."

"...too often. Life outside the Federation is even more difficult to sleep peacefully than I imagined."

"If it's just a coincidence, then it's fine. But if it's not a coincidence, then perhaps..."

"I should leave here and look somewhere else."

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 140 "Death by Weapon"

Inside the cave.

The moment he saw Xu Yuanjie's back sitting in the swivel office chair, Liu Liangrui understood again.

My failure was not an accident, but a carefully designed trap!

This is a political frame-up and persecution launched by an ambitious person!

Previous speculations were disrupted and reorganized, and countless ideas gathered in Liu Liangrui's mind, constructing a terrible "truth"!
