Chapter 817: 414 The End of the Night

"Okay."

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

Although his own 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. He could trust her to some extent.

"Li Ang, there's one thing I must say first."

Without immediately taking the 【Dream-Desire Invader】, the red-haired Director said seriously:

"This time, it's very likely that it will be borrowed and never returned. 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, Director, it must be for something important, so there's no need to explain. It doesn't matter if it's not returned in the end."

"Good..."

Looking at Li Ang, who didn't even ask for its purpose and handed this quite precious anomalous object directly to her, the red-haired Director felt a slight warmth in her eyes in the face of this trust that could be considered unreserved.

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

"This thing is an anomalous object crafted from the weapon of the 【Master of Dream-Desire】. Even if you have lost your nightmare core, it is enough to ensure your own 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 go find the thing I told you to find. But after finding it, you are not allowed to act without authorization; you must immediately come back and tell me. If you can't find me, come find Li Ang, understand?"

"Understood..."

Feeling the red pendant on her chest that still carried a hint of warmth, the Snow Maiden nodded with slight relaxation, then reached out and took the 【Dream-Desire Invader】 to slash at the void.

"Crack!"

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

Finally able to go home...

After feeling the familiar aura of the Dream Realm through that small crack, the Snow Maiden's tears were almost falling.

Her night had been truly too miserable!

First, she was forcibly dragged out of her companion dreamscape, then her nightmare core was crushed and she was expelled from the Nightmare status, and then she was bought by someone using a strange contract, carrying the other party around in 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 were even bigger ones later!

After she was knocked unconscious 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 burdened with an extremely dangerous mission.

Woo... this broken place, never coming back again!!!

After impatiently passing through the crack between the Dream Realm and reality and returning to her reassuring old home, the extremely unlucky Snow Maiden couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Sure enough, the Dream Realm is still better... Although it's having a bug plague, at least it won't be... Hmm?

After seeing a few familiar figures in the empty River of Nightmares, the Snow Maiden 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 are all still alive!"

Discovering that her old colleagues, with whom she had spent many years, had all successfully survived this time, the Snow Maiden immediately rushed over excitedly.

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 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 Maiden's figure, the other six Nightmare Messengers, covered in wounds, immediately surrounded her excitedly.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, because the Black Gold Beetles were proliferating crazily, the seven old colleagues who had survived the disaster didn't dare to go too deep into the Dream Realm and 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 finished off by her today are more than all the nightmares I've seen in my life! The River of Nightmares was dyed red!"

"No, no, no, she is terrifying, but 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 more than half of the Dream Realm will be devoured!"

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

After chatting for a while, the Swamp King Snake spat out 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 bit scared?"

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

"I... I... me too... a bit... a bit trembling..."

As if it were contagious, the six Nightmare Messengers, except for the Snow Maiden, started 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? 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!

Crawling away from the Snow Maiden while shivering, 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?

The Snow Maiden was slightly stunned upon hearing this, hurriedly checked herself, and then asked with confusion:

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

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

After moving further away, feeling the dangerous aura that made people tremble subconsciously, the Plague Girl said with chattering teeth:

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

"Sure enough, just as I thought."

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

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

After 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 out of 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 that '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!" ===== CHAPTER 818 =====
