Chapter 334: The Trouble the Fool's Dream Encountered

I got up, my gaze passing directly through the obstruction to see the person outside the door.

He was wearing an Earth Patrol Team uniform and looked very anxious.

After a simple judgment that it was not suitable to open the door to greet him, I directly used the Dream Rewrite Spell to open a hole in the side of the wall and came out into the hallway.

"An Earth Patrol Team member is looking for me for something?"

I asked.

"Um... huh?! You... Scho... Scholar Little Han, you're outside."

Obviously, my action startled him.

But I was in a dream, and he couldn't see the door I had opened.

He was standing so close to the door, did he expect me to go out through it?

"Just tell me what it is."

Although the slight anger I felt just now had been suppressed, the way he knocked on the door left a very bad impression on me.

"Yes, of course!"

This young man nodded, but his heart was full of complaints.

He should have known better than to mention this matter.

A casual mention had made him the one to run the errand.

As a result, he went to the extraordinary research base to look for me, searched everywhere and couldn't find me.

Finally, after inquiring about my residence, he found me here.

What a pain.

"Scholar Little Han, those cats you were concerned about before... oh no, those Fool's Dream, something has happened to them. Just a short while ago, we received a large number of calls from the citizens in the urban area, saying that the cats had gone crazy and there had been a serious incident of people being injured."

"What?"

Hearing this result, I was immediately shocked.

Has the Fool's Dream gone crazy?

And people were injured?

How was this possible?

How could those Fool's Dream hurt people?

If the Fool's Dream really did hurt people, then... the Nightmare.

I could only think of this possibility.

"Take me to the scene," I said in a deep voice.

"Alright, please follow me."

Just as this member of the Earth Patrol Team was about to take me to the scene, the door to Big Sis Bai's room was opened.

"Little Han, what happened?"

"Big Sis Bai, something has happened to those Fool's Dream," I said in a deep voice.

"What? I'll go with you."

"But my... that's fine too. I'll get my things ready. You tell me the place, and I'll go there directly."

I was originally thinking about what to do with my body, but since Big Sis Bai was coming along, I could just go over in my main body.

It was just right, in case anything unexpected happened, I could directly deal with it.

By the time we arrived at that area, it was already over.

The scene only had the lockdown cordon pulled by the Earth Patrol Team, and a large number of onlookers who had not yet left.

"Gone?"

"Sorry, it took a lot of time to find you, so maybe..."

"I know, it's not your fault."

I gave a simple reply and walked in here with Big Sis Bai.

I could feel the aura of the Nightmare here.

Even if the people from the Earth Patrol Team had used the Type I Nightmare killer, they were not me.

The Nightmare had not been completely dealt with, and there were still a large number of Nightmare fragments left, so it was a temporary solution.

But the people talking here were chatting and laughing as they gossiped.

"That Nightmare disappeared in an instant."

"I told you those cats were a problem, right? Otherwise, those Nightmares would have just targeted those cats."

"What you're saying is wrong. That person before was right. Sacrificing a cat to save a person, that's great."

As I approached, I overheard their gossip.

And the other party also noticed me walking towards them.

"Excuse me, what happened here just now?"

"You don't know?"

"Sorry, I just got here. Was there another Nightmare invasion?"

"That's right, but this time it's different. I heard that someone saw those cats suddenly run out in a group. And then, this place was entangled by the Nightmare. That's too much of a coincidence."

"And then, and then, that person had a flash of inspiration, directly grabbed that cat and threw it at the Nightmare. Those Nightmares immediately stopped going after people and went straight for that cat."

"Wait... what do you mean?"

Hearing their words, the Fool's Dream went out, and then the Nightmare attacked.

The Nightmare was once a part of the Fool's Dream, but the Fool's Dream were naturally afraid of that part, so there was nothing wrong with seeking benefit and avoiding harm.

But... what was the mentality of that person who threw the Fool's Dream into the Nightmare-invaded area?

"Why did that person do that?"

I quickly asked.

"What? Are you from the wild cat protection association? Is an animal's life more important than a human's?"

"Animal?"

My gaze was fixed on the person who had just spoken.

In an instant, that person felt a chill all over his body.

"What? Am I wrong? Let's go, let's go! We don't want to talk to people from your wild cat protection association."

"Little Han, calm down."

At this moment, Big Sis Bai's words came softly from behind me.

"That's true..."

Being told this by Big Sis Bai, I also calmed down.

I didn't need to get angry with such a group of people.

It would only make things worse and was completely useless.

Even saying another word to these people felt dirty.

Then, I learned from others here that those Fool's Dream who were invaded by the Nightmare had gone crazy in an instant, unlike ordinary people who would fall asleep when invaded by a Nightmare.

Because when the Nightmare and the Fool's Dream combined, they became a chaotic and disorderly dream creature.

It could even have a physical shell in reality.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this disorderly state was no different from going crazy.

And I also learned that when that person discovered that the Fool's Dream could attract the Nightmare and make the people who had been invaded by the Nightmare wake up, they spontaneously went to throw those escaped Fool's Dream back to let them bear the damage of the Nightmare.

Then, the first people to do these things were the first to be scratched by the crazed Fool's Dream.

Then they called the police and so on.

By the time the people from the Earth Patrol Team came to understand the situation, they found that the Nightmare had been "solved" in this way by these guys.

Then they captured those crazed Fool's Dream and took them back.

That's why there were so many Nightmare fragments left here.

Not all the Nightmare fragments chose to invade the Fool's Dream.

It seemed the people from the Earth Patrol Team really knew how to save trouble.

The Nightmare residue here meant that it wouldn't be long before they would have nightmares and be fed on by the Nightmare for their fear and other emotions to grow, until the Nightmare invaded here again.

Using the Fool's Dream to deal with the Nightmare, they were really creative.

However, I couldn't be bothered to clean up their self-inflicted mess.

"Little Han, are you okay?"

"I'm fine..."

I took another deep breath and adjusted my emotions.

The more this kind of situation, the more it tested my ability to control my emotions with my will.

"Those people just returned what originally belonged to the Fool's Dream to them," I said calmly as I prepared to head to the Earth Patrol Team headquarters with Big Sis Bai.

Bai Yu was silent as she listened to my words.

If she were to think so deeply about the essence of the problem, it was enough to show that Little Han was not in a good mood at this moment.

When encountering such a thing, shouldn't the most direct and superficial reaction be anger?

The things those people did were enough for Little Han to raze this place to the ground, not to delve into the root of who was right and who was wrong here.

"Little Han, don't suppress yourself like this. You just know more than them, but that doesn't mean what those ignorant people did was right."

"Is that so... what Big Sis Bai said... is also right. No one knows the truth, so it doesn't exist. The actions of those people reminded me of the primitive tribesmen who sacrificed the lives of others to pray for disaster not to fall. Superstitious, foolish, and selfish."

Of course, I'm not saying their selfishness is wrong, at least for them it is right.

But they can't afford the price of their selfishness, so the boundary between right and wrong has to be defined by me.

"The development of society, the change of civilization, the change of lifestyle, the improvement of cognition, but people just can't change some things that are carved into their bones."

Then, a silence fell between me and Big Sis Bai.

We just silently hurried to the Earth Patrol Team, hoping that the people there wouldn't do anything foolish.

Even if a person's life could not be measured by value, but to be honest, the subjective value gap between people in people's eyes was even greater than the objective gap between a person and a dog.

In the entire underground city, the most valuable to me were those Fool's Dream.

Their value was even higher than those scholars in the extraordinary research base.

Now I also regretted a little that I didn't reveal this fact to them.

"Scholar Little Han, you're finally here. We don't have enough people in the Earth Patrol Team. These cats have exhausted us."

As soon as I arrived at the Earth Patrol Team, a temporary captain in an Earth Patrol Team uniform came over to complain to me.

"Where are those Fool's Dream? Take me to see them," I ignored their complaints and asked directly.

"This... they've been locked up by us first. We were originally thinking of sending them to the base for containment. Later, we learned that you attach great importance to these cats... oh, Fool's Dream, so we held them here first. I'll take you over."

When I followed him, the Earth Patrol Team also had a place similar to a prison for detention.

Along the way, I could still see people who had committed crimes being locked up.

And at this time, this place was still very messy.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?"

"Captain... these cats are too small, and the gaps in these cages are too big. They can squeeze out one by one. We're changing them to a tighter one..."

"No need, I'll do it."

I stepped forward and with a wave of my hand, those Fool's Dream were restrained.

"Scho... Scholar Little Han!"

"It's none of your business. You all leave first," I said.

Then, this person from the Earth Patrol Team quickly left, even more effective than the words of this temporary captain.

"Um... Scholar Little Han, these Fool's Dream..."

"They've been invaded by the Nightmare."

"Invaded by the Nightmare? But shouldn't they be in a deep sleep when invaded by the Nightmare? These little ones have scratched many civilians."

"Scratched many civilians? Shouldn't you think about why those guys threw the innocent Fool's Dream into the Nightmare area to attract the Nightmare? The ones who were scratched were all those guys, right?"

"This... although that's true... but..."

This temporary captain still wanted to say something, but seeing the other party's gloomy face, he didn't dare to say any more.

After all, he didn't want to offend a scholar from the extraordinary research base for those guys.

"We'll go and arrest those guys now, for trespassing into the Nightmare lockdown area and handling the Nightmare in an improper way beyond their authority..."

"As you wish. Also, the Nightmare in that area has not been cleaned up. The Nightmare may invade again in a few days. Let those guys fend for themselves."

"Not... not cleaned up?"

"Is the Nightmare killer I developed for you a decoration? You still want to use these Fool's Dreams to deal with it? What do you think this is? A primitive sacrifice? Sacrificing one to save one? I won't hold it against those ordinary people for being foolish, but you are the Earth Patrol Team. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again."

"But... we don't have that many people in the Earth Patrol Team. They all went up. If those foolish people really use this method, our Earth Patrol Team will be too busy to handle it, Scholar Little Han..."

"Then gather all the Fool's Dream. I will go to the base to apply for extra resettlement houses. You are responsible for settling all the Fool's Dream in the underground city there. If there are still people who deliberately go there to cause trouble..."

"This..."

At this moment, this captain had a headache.

With such a thing happening, none of them had it easy.

He could only curse those fools crazily in his heart.

Why did those guys have to mess with these Fool's Dream?

Didn't the notice posted before say not to mess with the Fool's Dream?

Behind these little ones stood a scholar.

And now, he found that this scholar was also a bit protective... this was really a headache.

"I'm taking these Fool's Dream with me."

"Okay, okay, you can take them away now. Please take care," this temporary captain quickly said when he heard my words.

After all, leaving these cats here would only cause them trouble.

Now that this scholar was coming to take the blame, they were naturally very happy.

After leaving the Earth Patrol Team, I prepared to go to the extraordinary research base with the crazed Fool's Dream restrained behind me.

If possible, I naturally hoped to apply for an independent settlement area from the base to settle these Fool's Dream, to save them from coming into contact with those bad people.

And it wouldn't be long.

The actions of Tan Han and Ninglan Qiuyue were destined to resolve this incident in a short time, and we could go back rightfully.

At the same time, I also gave them a warning not to let the Fool's Dream come into contact with those Nightmares, and to be careful of the consequences.

"Little Han, are these Fool's Dream troublesome to deal with?"

At this moment, the base had already arranged a containment room for these crazed Fool's Dream for me.

Besides the Fool's Dream, only me and Big Sis Bai were left here.

Even if other scholars had noticed, I didn't let them participate.

"Of course it's troublesome. There's a trace of Destiny in the Nightmare, and now they are symbiotic with the Fool's Dream. This means that the driving force of the script wants to drag these Fool's Dream into the water too."

"Little Han, you...!"

"Oh, my contract has been dispelled. Big Sis Bai, you can't say it. Just listen to me," I said with a smile.

"I know Big Sis Bai may still have many questions about many things at this moment, but I don't have that much time to explain to Big Sis Bai bit by bit."

"I understand. Little Han, you don't have to say what you don't want to say."

"Thank you for understanding, Big Sis Bai. In short, these Fool's Dream are a bit troublesome. I naturally have a way to eliminate the Nightmares on the Fool's Dream now, but if I eliminate the Nightmares, the Destiny they carry will come to me. So this is the main reason why I haven't killed a single Nightmare so far."

"But if I want to separate the Nightmare perfectly... I don't have that confidence."

"If I want to sever the Earth Vein chains and break away from the main world, I'd better not be tainted with the Destiny of the main world. Otherwise... unknown situations may occur. But at worst... it's just dying once," I said with a smile.

Actually, dying once doesn't mean the Destiny will be transferred.

It's about how to die once to achieve the transfer of Destiny, just like the Destiny transfer duel arranged by the Academy Head back then.

Maybe... being killed by a Child of Destiny can allow the other party's Seed of Destiny to plunder the Destiny.

So... did the Academy Head give me the Resurrection Spell for this reason?

There was one more point, the revelation brought by the dream invading reality.

After losing my physical shell, my consciousness became the main body, which was equivalent to death.

Life entered a "life-and-death state."

Resurrection was just creating another shell to carry the essence of my life.

"Dying once? Little Han, what foolish words are you saying?"

"It's okay, the Academy Head has already made arrangements. Also... there's something I haven't told Big Sis Bai..."

"What is it?"

Bai Yu suppressed the unease in her heart and asked.

"The essence of my life is soul. As long as the soul is not destroyed, death is just changing a shell for me."

"How... is that possible? Wait, Little Han, death is not just changing a shell. Don't think of death so simply!"

"I know, so this is the worst-case scenario. The efforts we are making now, aren't they to change the development of things so that they won't lean towards the worst-case scenario?"

I comforted her.
