"Not bad." After looking up at the sun in the sky, the old investigator nodded with satisfaction, then turned back and smiled: "Although the majority is still the strengthening effect brought by the Fallen Soul Black Abyss, it is good enough to achieve this step... How many people are there in this dream?" "About... about 300,000 people?" After checking the black fluorescence in the glass lantern, the female reporter wearing a wide-brimmed soft hat replied: "There are many people dreaming tonight, but not many people involved in the royal capital in the dream. Most people's dreams did not happen in the royal capital, so [Dream Lantern] only combined the dreams of these 300,000 people... Do we need to do it again?" "No, this is enough." After listening to the female reporter's words, the old investigator chuckled confidently, then took his eyes back from the sun and began to look down at the dream royal capital in front of him. In this fake city made of the dreams of 300,000 people, most of the streets and alleys still maintain their original appearance and have not changed much. The tree-lined belt surrounding the wealthy area is still green, the sewage river running through the old city is still smelly and dirty, and the industrial parks distributed along the riverside area are also like the reality in the daytime, emitting billowing white smoke full of acid without stopping.
Although the dream world does not have to stick to reality, the 300,000 dream owners who make up the dream world all come from reality. The capital in front of them, which is not much different from reality, is the common understanding of all of them about the capital... Except for one place. … "What's going on over there?" Looking at the strange building in the center of the capital, which was constantly twisting and changing, but could not be completely confirmed, the old investigator frowned and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Why hasn't the palace been fixed yet? Haven't these 300,000 people reached a consensus on the palace?" "Let me take a look..." Looking at the palace whose appearance was constantly twisting and changing, sometimes old and decayed and shaky, and it seemed that it would collapse if you blew it; sometimes it was magnificent and splendid, and it looked noble, magnificent and supreme. After that, the female reporter carefully checked the glass lantern in her hand, then frowned and shook her head and said: "There is no problem with the [Dream Lantern], it has not been affected or invaded by anyone. It should be that among the 300,000 people who dreamed of the capital, some people have a certain impression of the palace. The image is different from other people, and the cognition is particularly strong, which leads to the palace's appearance being unable to be determined. " "Clean it up quickly!" After listening to the female reporter's explanation, the old investigator stood up without hesitation and walked to the edge of the clock tower, pointing to the location of the palace and said: "Check the dream about the palace, find out those whose impression of the palace is too different from others, kick them out of this dream, and don't let them affect the situation of the palace in the dream. When the Soul-Fallen Black Abyss is completely descended, I will exchange the dream capital with the real capital. If the difference between the two sides is too big, it will be very troublesome to exchange. This part must not go wrong! " "Got it." After responding silently, the lantern in the female reporter's hand flickered twice, and a large number of dark fluorescent dots lit up in the glass lampshade, and then quickly extinguished. And as a large number of star points were eliminated, the palace that kept twisting and changing in the distance finally stabilized a little and had a relatively fixed appearance. Unfortunately, before the old investigator nodded in satisfaction, the palace, which had just been stabilized for a short time, twisted again. And this time, in addition to the repeated flow between ruin and glory, there was even a third situation. Most of the buildings were flattened and turned into a green landscape garden. "Just now, some people dreamed of the royal capital and added it to this dream."
This time, without waiting for the old investigator to ask, the female reporter directly checked the [Dream Lantern] and then explained: "There are mainly two people who have different impressions of the palace from others. The royal capital in their dreams is very different from everyone else's perception of the royal capital, and their situations are quite special. I can't drive them away." Two people who can't be driven away? The old investigator frowned and said: "What did they both dream about? Take me to their dreams to see." "Okay." After looking at the old investigator's back, the female reporter nodded slightly, then grabbed the handle of the [Dream Lantern] tightly and shook the lamp in her hand again. Then, the capital city in front of them trembled slightly, and then changed its appearance in an instant, from a prosperous city full of vitality to a decadent scene after the war. The once bustling streets in the commercial district are now covered with rubble and broken walls. The buildings on the streets have collapsed into piles of dilapidated wreckage, and the high-rise buildings have turned into piles of worthless bricks and stones. The air in the entire capital is filled with the smell of dust and scorched earth. The remaining walls of the buildings still have traces of being baptized by artillery fire, and are almost completely destroyed by the war. Even the bell tower under the feet of the two people has been blown down in half, and even the huge clock face behind the female reporter, which is more than two people tall, is embedded with a huge shell that has not exploded yet... "This should be Prince Joshua's dream." After looking at the palace, which was not completely destroyed but was ravaged by the war and seemed to be about to collapse at any time, the old investigator pondered for a while and made a very sure judgment: "This is the curse of the Nightmare King. The members of the royal family of this country will constantly relive the biggest regret of their lives in their dreams, and Nathan... um... he is the future Joshua, so his nightmares are also synchronized. In addition, I also know why you can't drive him away." Turning his head to look at the lantern in the female reporter's hand, and looking at the dark stars in the lampshade, the old investigator said helplessly: "The power of [Dream Street Light] is strong enough to be suppressed by the Fallen Soul Black Abyss. It is equivalent to stealing the power of the Soul-Falling Black Abyss in disguise. As the real master of the Soul-Falling Black Abyss, the curse that the Nightmare King personally issued to the royal family members has a very high priority, and it is normal for it to affect the [Dream Street Lights] you control. We can't deal with his problem now, but it's not a big deal. When the Soul-Falling Black Abyss really comes, I will find a way to make him unable to sleep... Let's go, take me to the dream of another person you can't drive away, let me see what his dream is like. " The female reporter hummed when she heard it, found the star point with a faint red glow in the lantern, moved it to the center of the lampshade, and then shook the lantern in her hand vigorously. The sky was spinning. As if an ancient mural was painted with color, the dark and dilapidated capital in front of the two people instantly faded the dimness and scorch brought by the war, and suddenly became bright.
