Chapter 379

"Not bad."

After looking up at the sun in the sky, the old investigator nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and said with a smile:

"Although the strengthening effect brought by the Fallen Soul Black Abyss still accounts for the lion's share, being able to achieve this step is considered acceptable... About how many people are in this dream?"

"About... thirty thousand 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 there aren't many people involved in the Wang Dou in the dream. Most people's dreams didn't take place in the Wang Dou, so the 【Dream-Roaming Lantern】 only kneaded the dreams of these thirty thousand people together... Do you need to do it again?"

"No need, this is already enough."

After hearing the female reporter's words, the old investigator chuckled confidently, then withdrew his gaze from the sun and began to look down at the dream Wang Dou in front of him from a high vantage point.

In this fake city kneaded from the dreams of thirty thousand people, most of the streets and alleys still maintained their original appearance, and there were no major changes.

The tree-lined belt surrounding the wealthy district remained emerald green, the sewage river running through the old city remained fishy and dirty, and the industrial park distributed in the riverside area, just like in reality during the day, was emitting rolling white smoke full of acid gas without stopping.

Although the dream world doesn't have to be confined to reality, the owners of the thirty thousand dreams that make up the dream world all come from reality. This Wang Dou in front of us, which is not much different from reality, is their common cognition of the Wang Dou...

Except for one place.

"What's going on over there?"

Looking at the strange building in the center of the Wang Dou that was constantly twisting and changing, but could never be completely confirmed in form, the old investigator couldn't help but frown and asked with some dissatisfaction:

"Why hasn't the Wang Gong been fixed yet? Could it be that the cognition of the Wang Gong among these thirty thousand people hasn't reached a consensus yet?"

"Let me check..."

After looking at the Wang Gong, whose appearance was constantly twisting and changing—at one moment old, rotten, and tottering, looking like it would collapse if you blew on it; at another moment magnificent and brilliant, looking noble, gorgeous, and supreme—the female reporter carefully checked the glass lantern in her hand, then frowned and shook her head:

"The 【Dream-Roaming Lantern】 has no problems; it hasn't been influenced or invaded by anyone. It should be that among the people who dreamed of the Wang Dou, some have different impressions of the Wang Gong than others, and their cognition is particularly strong, causing the appearance of the Wang Gong to never be fixed."

"Hurry up and clean it up!"

After hearing the female reporter's explanation, the old investigator didn't hesitate at all, stood up directly, walked to the edge of the clock tower, and pointed to the location of the Wang Gong:

"Check the dreams related to the Wang Gong, find the people whose impressions of the Wang Gong are too different from others, kick them out of this dream, and don't let them affect the situation of the Wang Gong in the dream.

When the Fallen Soul Black Abyss completely descends, I want to swap the dream Wang Dou with the real Wang Dou. If the difference between the two sides is too big, it will be very troublesome to swap. This part absolutely cannot have any slip-ups!"

"Understood."

After responding silently, the lantern in the female reporter's hand flickered twice, a large number of dark fluorescent spots lit up inside the glass lampshade, and then quickly extinguished.

And following the removal of a large number of star spots, the Wang Gong in the distance that was constantly twisting and changing finally stabilized a little, and had a somewhat fixed appearance.

But unfortunately, before the old investigator could nod with satisfaction, the Wang Gong, which had just stabilized for not long, twisted again.

And this time, in addition to repeatedly flowing between dilapidated and magnificent, a third situation even appeared: most of the buildings were artificially flattened and turned into a lush landscape garden.

"Just now, some people dreamed of the Wang Dou and joined this dream."

This time, without waiting for the old investigator to ask, the female reporter checked the 【Dream-Roaming Lantern】 directly, then opened her mouth to explain:

"Those whose impressions of the Wang Gong are different from others are mainly two people now. The Wang Dou in their two dreams is vastly different from everyone else's cognition of the Wang Dou, and their situations are both relatively special, so I can't drive them away."

Two people who can't be driven away?

The old investigator frowned and said:

"What did the two of them dream of? Take me into their dreams to take a look."

"Okay."

After glancing at the back of the old investigator, the female reporter nodded slightly, then gripped the handle of the 【Dream-Roaming Lantern】 tightly and shook the lantern in her hand again.

Immediately after, the Wang Dou in front of them trembled slightly, and then instantly changed its appearance, transforming from a prosperous city that was still quite vibrant into a decadent scene after being ravaged by war.

The once bustling streets of the commercial district were now covered with rubble and broken walls, the buildings on the street collapsed into piles of dilapidated wreckage, and the high-rise buildings turned into piles of worthless bricks and stones.

In the air of the entire Wang Dou, the smell of dust and scorched earth permeated everywhere, and traces of having been baptized by artillery fire remained on the walls of the remaining buildings, almost completely destroyed by the war.

Even the clock tower under their feet had been blown down by half, and even on the huge clock face twice as tall as a person behind the female reporter, a huge artillery shell that had not yet exploded was embedded...

"This should be Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's dream."

After looking at the Wang Gong, which, although not completely destroyed, had also been ravaged by the war into a mess and seemed like it could collapse with a bang at any time, the old investigator pondered for a while, then judged with great certainty:

"This is the curse of the Nightmare King. Members of the royal family of this country will constantly relive the greatest regrets of their lives in their dreams, and Nathan... um... he is the future Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, so his nightmare has also been synchronized over.

Besides, I also know why you can't drive him away."

After turning his head to glance at the lantern in the female reporter's hand and looking at the pitch-black star spots connected together in the lampshade, the old investigator said with some helplessness:

"The power of the 【Dream-Roaming Lantern】 has been strengthened by the Fallen Soul Black Abyss, which is equivalent to stealing the power of the Fallen Soul Black Abyss in disguise.

And as the true master of the Fallen Soul Black Abyss, the curse he personally placed on members of the royal family has a very high priority, so it's normal for it to have an impact on the 【Dream-Roaming Lantern】 you are manipulating.

We can't handle his problem right now, but it's not very troublesome either. When the Fallen Soul Black Abyss truly descends, I'll just find a way to make him unable to fall asleep...

Let's go, take me into the dream of the other person you can't drive away, and let me see what his dream is like."

The female reporter responded with an "um" upon hearing this, found the star spot 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 world spun.

As if an ancient mural had been painted with color, the dim and dilapidated Wang Dou in front of the two instantly faded away the dim yellow and scorched black brought by the war, and suddenly became bright.
