Troubled times are coming, Chapter 2, Reunion

Akihito sat on a bus and looked out the window.

Carefully calculate the time, it has been three days since Akihito came to this world.

It's a world similar to Earth, but in a very strange place.

Akihito looked out the window at the billboards along the street, which were supposed to show movie posters but were written...

'The new dream movie 'Interstellar Leap' by the famous film dreamer Chris Nolan has been released'

There are also advertisements like..."Multiplayer online raiders dream game "Swordsman" is launched today, all young heroes, please continue the frontier together!'

At first glance, it is a very common advertisement for movies and games.

Can...

Dream dungeon, Dream Maker.

It took Akihito a moment to figure out what the Dream Maker and the Dream Quest were.

According to the memories of the original owner, everyone in this world will awaken a dream dungeon space after reaching the age of eighteen.

Anyone can create their own fantasy characters and stories in their own dream dungeon space.

Of course, this requires the consumption of something called Creation Points, and there is also a limit to the size of the space of the dream dungeon that people have just awakened, and the space of the dream dungeon that awakens for the first time is up to ten square meters.

The existence of dream dungeons has also given birth to the world's most popular profession... Dream Maker.

As the name suggests, Dream Makers rely on dream copies to create a variety of novel story experiences for the benefit of the public.

Movies and games, the two pillars of human entertainment, have also been directly transferred to dream dungeons.

Although the traditional film and game industry still exists in this world.

But more people are more willing to enter the dreams created by dream makers, play the characters in those movies for thrilling adventures one after another, and experience the thrill of being a hero.

"This ghost world is not seriously involuted, it's really magical. ”

Akihito sighed again.

"What egg roll?" asked the man sitting next to Akihito suddenly.

"Nothing. ”

Sitting next to Qiu Ren was Xu Sheng, a part-time friend of the original owner's tablemate.

Now Qiuren's identity is a junior in high school, a junior in high school who is about to face the dream maker college entrance examination.

"I still don't quite understand why Qiu Ren, why did you apply for the Nightmare Purification major. ”

Xu Sheng has been thinking about it since he got on the bus.

The school arranged an extracurricular practice for Qiu Ren and some of the students in the class.

Originally, during the tense period of the third year of high school, there was this kind of extracurricular practice of reading, and the arrangement of the writing outing was outrageous enough.

The most outrageous place is the outing ... Or prison.

Or the kind of prison that houses condemned prisoners!

"Maybe it's because you're making a lot of money?"

Qiu Ren replied to Xu Sheng nonchalantly.

There weren't many students who came to this extracurricular practice, and most of them were students like Akihito who had applied for the 'Nightmare Purification' major.

There are also people like Xu Sheng who come over to see the world if they don't want to go to class.

"Lots of money, but I've heard from the grapevine that the death rate of a dream maker in the nightmare purification profession is extremely high, maybe he was swallowed by a nightmare that day?" Xu Sheng shuddered as he spoke.

Where there is light, there must be shadow.

Dream dungeons provide a platform for humans in this world to swim in their own and others' fantasy worlds.

But along with it comes the 'Nightmare Copy'.

As the name suggests, a 'Nightmare Dungeon' is a dream dungeon that brings death and fear, and can take a person's life from a spiritual level.

As for what the more specific Nightmare copy looks like, I don't know how to purify Akihito.

It's just that when the original owner applied for the major, he directly filled in a high-mortality major purified by a nightmare.

The reason is... This stupid kid is really poor and scared, and wants to take the exam for a money-making major.

"Don't think about it so much, maybe the high mortality rate is just a rumor?" Akihito said.

"The rumors are all true! Alas, anyway, I won't take this major to death, and I came here today for the sake of Wanxiang's face. ”

Xu Sheng could still lower his voice when he said this, and secretly glanced at the girl sitting at the back of the bus.

She was holding a novel that could be opened and closed with one hand, reading it quietly.

Lin Wanxiang...

It's like there will be a girl in every class who is much taller than the other girls.

Lin Wanxiang is the girl who raises the average appearance of the girls in the class

Qiu Ren feels that even if this girl goes to college, she can increase the average appearance of all college girls.

Coincidentally, Akihito can do the same, but by pulling up the boys.

Unfortunately, Qiu Ren and Xu Sheng didn't appreciate the girl for long, and the bus stopped outside a heavily guarded building.

"Fengdu Prison has arrived, students should pay attention to follow the teacher after getting off the bus, otherwise they will be arrested by the prison guards!"

The homeroom teacher made a joke here to relieve the tension of the students in the car.

Fengdu?

Qiu Ren originally thought that the prison full of death row prisoners in extracurricular practice was enough for the underworld, but the name of this prison was also quite underworld.

There are not many students on the bus, only about 40 people, which is the total number of the school's ten college entrance examination classes.

Most of them like Xu Sheng don't want to go to class to have fun, and only a few of them have applied for the major of Nightmare Purification.

After Akihito got out of the car, he stood at the door of this prison, and his first feeling was... It's not like a prison.

It's like a research institute, a research institute that studies some kind of high-tech.

This feeling was even stronger when Akihito walked into the prison with the group of people on the outing.

Both the floor and the walls have a neat and efficient sense of technology.

"Students, this is the outer area of Fengdu Prison. ”

The docent in charge of leading the group was a young woman, dressed more like a civil servant than a prison guard.

"You may be curious, why did you take you to visit the prison when you applied for the Nightmare Purification major, and asked the students to look down through that window. ”

The female docent pointed to the clear glass on the side of the hallway.

These words made Qiu Yuan think that he had come to the zoo, but the scenery here was much scarier than the zoo.

On the left side of the hallway is a large floor-to-ceiling window that is clearly bulletproof.

Outside the window is an empty space, which is like a reservoir of water, and if you want to look down, you have to use equipment such as a telescope.

Through one of the telescopes, Akihito could see a spinning black Rubik's cube-shaped object locked in a mechanical container at the bottom of the space.

"Is that the Nightmare Seed?" asked one student, curious.

"Exactly, the Nightmare Seed has different forms, and that one is the most dangerous S-rank Nightmare Seed, and the current purification progress is less than half. The narrator patiently answered the students' doubts.

S-Class Nightmare Seed?

What is so dangerous that you bring to the students?

When Qiu Ren was still puzzled, he suddenly found that there were many people gathered next to the Rubik's Cube.

They were dressed in prisoner suits, and they looked like the condemned prisoners here, who had gathered around the nightmare seed and fell into a deep sleep.

But soon a condemned prisoner suddenly woke up, and after waking up, he shouted something in horror, and then spat blood and fell directly to the ground.

This scene made the students who still thought, 'Nightmare Seed is so handsome!' shiver.

"He... What's wrong with them?"

Xu Sheng looked at the death row inmates who woke up one after another, most of the death row inmates who woke up were unconscious with blood in their mouths, and some of them fell into madness.

Several prison guards intervened to suppress it.

"They were killed in a nightmare. ”

The narrator said with a smile on his face.

"There are two steps to purify low-level nightmare seeds, the first of which is to send personnel to the nightmare to kill the monsters in the nightmare or other things that can represent the nightmare, of course, dying in the nightmare will be severely damaged, the first time may survive, the second time is not so lucky. ”

"That's... Then apply for the Nightmare Purification Major... Isn't it the same as these condemned prisoners?"

Xu Sheng looked at the miserable appearance of the death row prisoner bleeding through the seven holes, and his frightened eyes had already looked at Qiu Ren.

He almost grabbed Qiuren by the collar and said, 'Good brother, please change your major!

"Of course it's different, the responsibility of the Nightmare Purification profession is to build nightmares, and that's the first step in the front. The narrator said with a smile on her face.

"The Nightmare Seed itself is chaotic, and it takes a dreammaker to construct a nightmare scene. ”

"But the Nightmare Seed itself is conscious, and the dream maker's duty is to construct a dream that can satisfy the Nightmare Seed, as for how to satisfy the Nightmare Seed, and reduce the casualties of the dream explorer who enter the nightmare, this is a great test of the dream maker's skills. ”

Akihito understood what the docent lady meant.

It is probably because the dream maker wants to use the space of the Nightmare Seed to create dream copies such as "Rainbow Pony", "PokΓ©mon" and "Teletubbies", which will be eaten by the Nightmare Seed.

On the contrary, if it is used as a dream copy such as "Resident Evil", "The Conjuring", and "Chainsaw", it will greatly please the Nightmare Seed.

But the Dream Finders in these dungeons aren't... Happy.

"If you like horror games or movies very much, you can try to apply for this major, of course, the nightmare dreamer also has the risk of being consumed by nightmares, and may end up dying worse than the dream finder. ”

After Miss Docent said this, most of the students in the class wanted to escape from this underworld as soon as possible.

Qiu Ren also understood the purpose of this extracurricular practice, in short, to persuade him to quit!

Dissuade those students who don't know the height of the sky and want to apply for the nightmare purification major.

It seems that this major was conceived by the above, so the professionals below will dissuade these hairy boys from this dangerous career.

"Okay, let's not talk about the terrible topic, it's time for lunch, we have arranged a lot of delicious food for all students, please come here. "Miss Docent doesn't scare these children anymore.

As she guided everyone to the other side, an alarm suddenly sounded inside the prison!

"What's going on?" Xu Sheng instantly startled a spirit.

"That Rubik's Cube... Nightmare Seeds..."

Akihito noticed that the nightmare seed was emitting light, but the moment Akihito noticed it, it also noticed Akihito.

A huge eye suddenly opened on the Rubik's Cube.

The moment Qiu Ren and that eye met each other, Qiu Ren felt that his consciousness was directly torn into that nightmare seed!

In the end, all Akihito could hear was the shouts of his classmates and teachers around him.
