Chapter 1080: Li Ang's Thank-You Gift

See what I fear most?

Hearing the Nightmare King's words, and looking at his own face reflected in the mirror crown on its head, Li Ang's pupils couldn't help but expand slightly.

His memories, no matter what, cannot be shown to others! Whether it is the existence of the badge system or the fact that he is a transmigrator, they are secrets that must never be leaked!

Especially the latter!

Once this secret is leaked and the people at the General Bureau match it to the warning given by the Watch Palace about the "soul from an unknown world", even if Director Scorpio can arrive within five minutes, his Containment Officer career will probably come to an end!

Facing the sudden emergency, Li Ang, who originally wanted to wait until 【Drunken Immortal】 expired before struggling with the Sagittarius mark and 【Dream Intruder】, couldn't care about keeping his hole cards anymore and directly activated 【Dream Intruder】 to fight to the death.

Although 【Dream Intruder】, which was made using the weapon of the Lord of Dream Intrusion, is not low in status, it is still not enough to face the Nightmare King who has descended in person.

Even if Li Ang relied on the strengthening of the Sagittarius mark to barely lock onto the Nightmare King's consciousness, before he could drag the Nightmare King into the dream world, the Nightmare King's withered head split horizontally from the middle, cleanly splitting into two.

"Hehe."

Accompanied by a sneer with a hint of contempt, the countless nightmares that made up the Nightmare King's body flowed rapidly, actually like a crab molting, directly molting a new self from the split part of the old body.

"You don't think the same method can be used on me a second time, do you?"

After playing with the old body that was captured by 【Dream Intruder】 and whose eyes were gradually becoming confused, the Nightmare King, whose expression was slightly pleasant, looked at Li Ang, who had an annoyed expression in front of him, and said with mockery in his eyes:

"The secret art of the Sagittarius Palace is indeed extraordinary, even allowing you, a Level 3 Containment Officer, to briefly exert a level comparable to a Director. Caught off guard, you almost really ran away from my hands.

It's a pity that no matter how good something is, it ultimately depends on who is using it. If the person using this thing were the Sagittarius Director himself, no matter how I struggled, it would be useless, and I would be directly dragged into the dream world.

But with your soul strength, you simply cannot lock onto my main consciousness, at most you can only grab a few hundred insignificant nightmares. These scattered nightmares are everywhere in the river, so what if I give them to you?"

"..."

"Alright, after struggling once like this, you should give up."

Removing the mirror crown from the empty old body and putting it back on his own head, the Gray Mist Giant stretched out his blue-gray withered fingers, wiped the mirror surface of the crown with his fingertips, and the hoarse voice full of malice broke into Li Ang's eardrums unreasonably.

"Come! In the name of the Nightmare King, I command you to open your heart and show me the deepest fear in your heart!"

With the Nightmare King's shout, the scorching sun hanging high above his head flickered several times, and then, as if it had been moved from midsummer to late autumn, it changed from a scorching white to the orange-yellow of late autumn, spilling light that was not very warm.

Immediately after, the sky full of yellow sand around quietly faded, and with Li Ang, who was standing still, as the center, the boundless sea of sand dissipated rapidly, turning into a dilapidated ward full of coughing sounds and the smell of pungent medicine.

On the dirty hospital bed at the edge of the ward, the sickly girl, whose face was pale and almost bloodless, turned her head slightly and said softly but with a hint of stubbornness:

"Brother, why don't... why don't you just stop worrying about me?"

"..."

So what he fears most is just the passing of his family?

After looking at the thin girl on the hospital bed, and then at Li Ang, whose face was twisted in front of the hospital bed, the Nightmare King, who was quite interested just now, flashed a heavy look of disappointment in his eyes.

The fear was very intense, and the thick unwillingness and resentment were also very interesting, but he had seen too many nightmares and fears of this level, and he couldn't raise any interest at all.

Boring.

Looking at the uninspired nightmare in front of him, the Nightmare King, who replaced part of the boundless desert with the deepest fear in Li Ang's heart, couldn't help but click his tongue in boredom.

It seems that he can calmly face eternal torture, not because he is really fearless, but mostly because of the effect of some anomalous object.

For this guy who almost made him stumble, he originally thought that the deepest fear in his heart would be something interesting, but it turned out to be just like this? This is really...

Huh? What is he going to do?

Looking at Li Ang, who rushed out of the ward with a twisted face, holding a knife he picked up, seemingly wanting to do something, the Nightmare King finally raised a little interest in his heart and actively changed his body to the same height as an ordinary person, following him all the way.

Immediately after, everything that happened two months ago repeated itself without much change.

"Is anyone there? I'm here to apply for a job!"

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a demon?"

"Didn't I make it clear to you? A normal person like you is simply not suitable for joining the Containment Bureau." "Please wait a moment!"

"My observation ability is very special! I can distinguish some special things, and if there is direct contact, I can immediately obtain some relevant information!"

"Here, that sheep is a 'special thing', so now you can start talking."

After the red-haired Director put forward the "test question", facing this last straw, Li Ang, who had already given up everything, took a deep breath, and touched the black goat with his hands trembling slightly, however...

"?!!!"

None? Why none?

Discovering that the situation was different from what he thought, a deep horror suddenly appeared on Li Ang's face, and an unparalleled panic spread, as if a cold and bone-chilling hand was tightly gripping his heart.

It should be there! It should clearly be there!

As long as I touch it with my hand, there should clearly be something popping out to tell me the information about the relevant anomalous object. Why is there nothing now?!

"Heh, it turns out to be a lunatic."

After shaking her head in disappointment, the red-haired woman with a somewhat blurred face said coldly:

"Get out! This is not where you should come!"

"But... but I clearly..."

"Get out! I'll only say it once! Hum! What a waste of time!"

"..."

Under the Nightmare King's interested gaze, Li Ang was kicked out of the Containment Bureau in a lost soul manner, hanging his head blankly, and moved back to the hospital step by step like a walking corpse.

After emptying all the money on his body and trying his best to drag it for more than a week, he still couldn't raise enough medicine money. Under the insistence of the sickly girl, Li Ang had to carry her back home, who was coughing all night and couldn't even sleep.

Immediately after, everything happened just as the sickly girl suggested at the beginning. When the coughing that lasted all night no longer sounded, in order to continue to receive the girl's pension, Li Ang had to throw her corpse into the sewage river at night, pretending she was still alive to defraud the pension.

But less than a month later, this little calculation was seen through by the clerk from the Military Department who came to check, and instead, more fines were deducted. The days of the family went from bad to worse, and they became more and more sallow.

The following year, a heat epidemic broke out in the Capital. The two children, who were malnourished for a long time and physically weak, couldn't hold on in the end due to lack of medicine. The small home, which was even a bit crowded to live in, finally became completely empty...

So that's it.

Looking at Li Ang, who was hunched over on the side of the small bed, stroking an old photo album, with numbness in his eyes, the Nightmare King's eyebrows raised slightly, and he finally understood what he feared most.

If he didn't have the aptitude to become a Containment Officer and couldn't join the Containment Bureau, he could only lose everything little by little, inevitably, like this nightmare.

So if he wanted to torture him, he didn't need to carry out physical destruction, just seal his original memories and let him relive all this infinitely.

Heh, didn't expect it to be so simple.

Waving his hand to disperse the nightmare reflected from the deepest part of Li Ang's heart using 【Melancholy Fear Mirror Crown】, and changing everything around back to the boundless desert.

Looking at the real Li Ang, who had been silent since rushing out of the hospital in the dream, and seemed to have suffered some kind of huge blow, the Nightmare King couldn't help but curl his mouth and evaluate with pleasure:

"Your fear is a bit ordinary, but overall it's quite interesting... Hehe, I have already thought about how to punish you for offending me.

Listen, I announce that you will be... what are you doing?"

"I'm going to give you a big gift."

Crushing the bottle containing 【Dream-Eating Alien Armor】, and stuffing all the remaining beetles into the empty shell body that the Nightmare King had molted before.

Under the Nightmare King's puzzled expression, Li Ang took out 【Unfair Snake Contract】 with a blank face and exchanged a bright red hair from the red-haired Director outside.

Immediately after, this empty shell body filled with 【Dream-Eating Alien Armor】 that was eating, naturally disappeared from his hand and appeared in the night sky of the Capital full of countless nightmares.

"From now on, no one can dream anymore!!!"
