Chapter 779

"You... you are too much!"

Looking at the elderly investigator curled up on the carpet like a shrimp while desperately clamping his legs, the female police officer, who rushed in after hearing the scream, had her somewhat pretty face turned blue with anger.

"Camus Senior is so kind, he hasn't held a grudge even after being offended by you several times, and even instructed me not to bring personal emotions into work, you... you actually treated him like this?!"

"..."

Could it be... I felt wrong just now?

Looking at the elderly investigator who was twitching constantly after suffering a heavy blow to his crotch, Leon hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to frame him up, and said with a look of apology:

"Sorry... I might have misunderstood, are you okay?"

Am I okay? Whether I am okay or not, don't you know clearly?

Hearing Leon's sincere greetings, the elderly investigator, who was full of cold sweat, tried hard to roll his eyes, his lips trembling without saying anything, while the female police officer on the side rushed over, helped him up, and said to Leon with a face full of indignation:

"Get away! I will definitely report what happened today to the General Bureau!"

"..."

It seems it really was me who felt wrong...

After sizing up the elderly investigator whose legs were trembling and who couldn't even stand steady from the pain, Leon couldn't help but open his mouth, then bowed to him with an apology.

Sorry, I kicked a bit hard, mainly because your parting words just now really had the smell of a mastermind behind the scenes; if I didn't test it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Also, this time although it was my misjudgment, you too, since you are not some villainous boss, then why are you pretending to be cool?

"What's going on? What's wrong with him"

The movement caused by the scream and the subsequent noise was not small; not only were the cleaners who didn't go out on missions alarmed, but even the red-haired Director walked out of the office and asked curiously.

"You came just in time!"

Seeing the red-haired Director come out of the office, the female police officer said angrily:

"Your Virgo Branch is really too much this time! You actually kicked Camus Senior's... that place! You wait! After going back, I will definitely ask for an explanation for Camus Senior!"

Hmm? Threatening me?

After hearing the female police officer's words, the red-haired Director, who originally wanted to ask in detail, raised her eyebrows, then nodded indifferently:

"Then fine, take your time, I won't see you off."

"You?!"

"If you want to go, hurry up, we have things to do, no time to waste with you."

After moving her gaze away directly from the two investigators, the red-haired Director clapped her hands hard, attracting everyone's attention, then announced with a serious expression:

"Those who haven't gone on missions yet, follow me to the conference room on the second floor, a big job is coming!"

"The General Bureau just sent news that the position of the Dream World has shifted, and the position of the Fallen Soul Black Abyss is about to overlap with the Kingdom."

After taking out a dozen marked maps from the folder brought by the elderly investigator and pressing them on the information board one by one, the red-haired Director, standing next to the information board, said with a serious expression:

"In the reality that overlaps with the Fallen Soul Black Abyss, the connection between body and soul will be infinitely weakened, and dream creatures and related abilities will be greatly enhanced. According to the hints given by the Watchtower, the Worshiping Nightmare Black Sect will hold an advent ceremony, trying to help the King of Nightmares invade reality and spread nightmares throughout the kingdom, and our mission this time is to stop its advent!"

King of Nightmares?

After hearing this somewhat familiar name, Leon couldn't help but pause slightly, first looked around, saw the serious expressions of the cleaner seniors, and then reached out to hold Auntie Ai Ma's slightly tense hand.

'Senior Auntie Ai Ma, is the King of Nightmares who wants to descend this time the evil god who was once expelled by the ancestors of the royal family and therefore cast a curse on the royal bloodline?'

'Hmm.'

After hearing Leon's inquiry through the soul, Auntie Ai Ma nodded slightly, knowing that he had some shortcomings in these "common sense" aspects, so she held Leon's hand and explained quickly:

'The King of Nightmares is also called the Lord of Nightmares, one of the three dream gods worshiped by the Worshiping Nightmare Black Sect, having no real entity in the true sense, living in the Dream World in recent years, and the Fallen Soul Black Abyss is its residence in the Dream World.

And compared to the stable material reality, the spiritual level of the Dream World is more erratic, so its position itself is not fixed, therefore the position of the Fallen Soul Black Abyss will also change from time to time.

To give a simple analogy, just like the moon being too close to the ocean might affect the tides, the Fallen Soul Black Abyss being too close to reality will also cause some influence, and when it reaches this point, the Worshiping Nightmare Black Sect and the King of Nightmares will start acting, trying to invade reality and spread nightmares.'

Spreading nightmares?

Leon pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then continued to ask:

'If you have a nightmare at this time, will the consequences be very serious?'

'Very serious!'

Auntie Ai Ma nodded, her expression somewhat serious:

'If you have a nightmare at this time, it is equivalent to entering the King of Nightmares' power range; for the rest of your life, every time you fall asleep, you will fall into an endless nightmare all night, providing it with power until death.

Individual souls with particularly outstanding "compatibility" with the Dream World will even be directly captured by the King of Nightmares, personally brought into the Dream World, and after the remaining body dies, they will completely turn into dream creatures, becoming servants serving it for eternity.

And the soul quality of us cleaners is generally higher than that of ordinary humans, and the possibility of being targeted by it in a nightmare and having the soul forcibly taken away is very high!'

If the soul is taken away, wouldn't it just be an empty shell?

Leon couldn't help but ask:

'Then how is the King of Nightmares' strength? Compared to the Goddess of Wealth?'

'It's not a question of strength, but a question of form of existence.'

Auntie Ai Ma shook her head:

'The King of Nightmares will not descend in the flesh like the Goddess of Wealth, it will only exist in the dreams of intelligent creatures; when you see its true body, it often means that you have already entered its power range.

And you should be clear about what happens when you enter the power range of a true god, having faced the Goddess of Wealth; as long as there is no resistance from power of the same level or even higher status, there is simply no ability to fight back, so no matter how strong it is, it is much harder to deal with than the Goddess of Wealth.

Olivia can handle three or five flesh gods like the Goddess of Wealth at once, but once the King of Nightmares successfully descends, it can constantly shuttle through countless human nightmares, and Olivia can't catch up even if she risks entering the dream.'

Can't even the Director do anything?

After hearing Senior Auntie Ai Ma's account, Leon couldn't help but frown slightly, understanding why the cleaners of the Virgo Branch looked like they were facing a great enemy.

Although occasionally not very reliable, the red-haired Director's super strength has always been the biggest confidence of the Virgo Branch; even if the mission really fails and a true god accidentally leaks down, there is still the Director who can wipe everyone's ass.

But this time the opponent is the type that the Director is not good at dealing with; if there is really any blunder, leading to the King of Nightmares successfully descending, then everyone will probably only be able to pray for their own luck in the end.
