Chapter 1085

"Sure."

Hearing the Red-haired Director's words, Li Ang nodded and took off the 【Dream-Desire Invader】 to hand it over.

Although his Director was a drunkard whose brain wasn't as good as a monkey's when she drank too much, she was still very reliable when alcohol wasn't involved, so he could trust her to some extent.

"Li Ang, there's one thing I have to make clear first."

Not immediately taking the 【Dream-Desire Invader】, the Red-haired Director said seriously:

"This time, it's very likely that I won't be able to return it. If you really don't want to lend it, you don't have to. I can still..."

"No need, you take it."

Before the Red-haired Director could finish, Li Ang shook his head:

"If you ask me for something, it must be for a serious matter, so there's no need to explain. It doesn't matter if you can't return it in the end."

"Good..."

Looking at Li Ang, who handed over this quite precious anomalous object directly without even asking for its purpose, the Red-haired Director felt a warmth in her eyes at this trust that could be considered without reservation.

After taking the 【Dream-Desire Invader】 from Li Ang, the Red-haired Director took off a lock of her own hair, replaced the lanyard of the 【Dream-Desire Invader】, and then actually tied it around the Snow Woman's neck.

"This thing is an anomalous object made from the weapon of the 【Lord of Dream-Desire】. Even if you have lost your nightmare core, it is enough to ensure your safety in the Dream Realm.

However, giving this to you is not without a price."

The Red-haired Director narrowed her fox-like eyes and instructed seriously:

"Remember, after those 【Dream-Eating Alien Armor】 die naturally, you must immediately start acting and find the thing I told you to find. But after you find it, you are not allowed to act on your own; you must immediately come back and tell me. If you can't find me, come find Li Ang, understand?"

"Understood..."

Feeling the red pendant, which still carried a hint of warmth, on her chest, the Snow Woman nodded slightly and then reached out to take the 【Dream-Desire Invader】 and made a slash in the void.

"Crack!"

A sound like shattering glass rang out, and the place in the air slashed by the small red fork suddenly split open, revealing a small crack that was clearly visible but also made people feel as if it didn't exist.

Finally able to go home...

Feeling the familiar aura of the Dream Realm through that small crack, the Snow Woman's tears were almost falling.

This night of hers had been truly miserable!

First, she was forcibly dragged out of her companion dreamscape, then her nightmare core was crushed, and she was expelled from the Nightmare ranks. Then she was bought by someone with a strange contract, carrying the other person around the nightmare like a mount.

And what was even more outrageous was that she originally thought these were the limits of her bad luck, but it turned out there was even worse to come!

After she was knocked out by the descending King of Nightmares and woke up, the King of Nightmares was gone along with most of the Dream Realm! She was also forced by a smiling bad woman to sign a bunch of messy treaties and was saddled with an incredibly dangerous mission.

Woo... this broken place, I'm never coming back!!!

Impatiently passing through the crack between the Dream Realm and reality and returning to her reassuring old home, the extremely unlucky Snow Woman let out a long breath.

As expected, the Dream Realm is still better... although it's suffering from a bug plague, at least she won't be... hmm?

Seeing a few familiar figures in the empty River of Nightmares, the Snow Woman was slightly stunned, and then a look of joy flashed across her eyes.

Green Wave Sea Monster, Plague Girl, Swamp King Snake... and the Dune Giant Worm! Not a single one is missing!

"Great! You're all still alive!"

Discovering that her old colleagues of many years had all survived this time, the Snow Woman excitedly rushed over.

As Nightmare Messengers under the King of Nightmares, there was still some camaraderie among the seven elite Nightmares. After all, the best way to close the distance was to have the same person to hate.

And as Nightmares who were all captured by the King of Nightmares, had their nightmare cores taken, and were forced to become Nightmare Messengers, they hated the King of Nightmares to the bone. With such a heinous boss overhead, the colleague relationship naturally wouldn't be too bad. You actually survived and came back too!

Seeing the Snow Woman's figure, the other six Nightmare Messengers, all covered in wounds, excitedly gathered around.

After simple pleasantries, because the Black Gold Beetles were multiplying crazily, the seven old colleagues who had survived the disaster really didn't dare to go too deep into the Dream Realm. They had to sit together in the crack between the Dream Realm and reality, chatting with lingering fear:

"The people from the Cleanup Bureau are truly too terrifying!"

"Yes! Especially the Blood-Haired Girl. The Nightmares she finished off today are more than all the Nightmares I've seen in my life! The River of Nightmares was dyed red!"

"No, no, no, although she is terrifying, the one who throws bugs is even scarier!"

"I think so too. The one who throws bugs is even crazier. Looking at this situation, I'm afraid most of the Dream Realm will be devoured!"

"Yes, he really doesn't care about anything. Once he gets ruthless, he wants us all to die! I don't know how the King of Nightmares provoked him."

After chatting for a while, the Swamp King Snake flicked its black tongue, its snake face full of relaxation:

"But fortunately, the King of Nightmares was also finished off. This time, we should be able to have a few decades of easy days."

"Yes, yes."

"Hiss... speaking of the King of Nightmares... why do I feel a little scared?"

"What are you afraid of? He still needs a few decades... Hiss... why am I starting to shake too?"

"I... I... me too... a little... a little trembling..."

As if it were contagious, the six Nightmare Messengers, excluding the Snow Woman, began to shake one after another, and it seemed that the closer they were to her, the harder they shook. The Plague Girl sitting next to her had her upper and lower teeth starting to chatter uncontrollably.

"What's wrong with you all? Why are you all starting to shake?"

No, no, no, it's not what's wrong with us, it's what's wrong with you!

Shivering as she crawled away from the Snow Woman, the Plague Girl, feeling slightly better, said with a hint of terror in her eyes:

"You... on your body, there is... there is a very scary... smell!"

A very scary smell?

Hearing this, the Snow Woman was slightly stunned and hurriedly checked herself, then asked with a puzzled look:

"I don't feel like there's any smell?"

"There is... there is..."

Moving further away, feeling the dangerous aura that made one shiver unconsciously, the Plague Girl said with chattering teeth:

"The pendant! The pendant! The smell on your pendant is even scarier than... than the King of Nightmares!"

"It's just as I thought."

Feeling the mark that originally belonged to the King of Nightmares in the depths of his soul rapidly dissipating, and his bound soul regaining its freedom, the young man in a water-blue robe couldn't help but smile. He then raised the glass lantern in his hand and blew out the light that had been burning for an entire night.

"Nicole, take the Dream-Traveling Lantern and make a trip to the Dream Realm."

Handing the lantern in his hand to the female reporter behind him, the Aquarius Director, standing on the clock tower, squinted at the sun leaping over the horizon in the distance and instructed calmly:

"Remember to be quick. If I'm not mistaken, Olivia should already be thinking of ways to find the 'me' who is sleeping in the Dream Realm.

If the 'me' sleeping in the River of Nightmares is found by her first, then this trip of mine will have been in vain!"
