"Merlin, you look excited."

Char withdrew her hand, looked at Merlin, and said lightly.

"Hermit-sama... You've just accomplished a feat, a feat that many people want to do and don't dare to do. Merlin's hands gripped the rim of the wizard's hat and exclaimed.

"Oh? But the wizards seemed to be afraid, even hateful of me. Char raised his eyebrows slightly and said.

"Because they're scared."

Merlin slowly raised his head and said, "This gray chain of interests has existed for a long time. They collude with each other and use Shadow Street for their own gain. Their power is so great that they almost dominate Shadow Street. The big witch with authority was also bought by them and became a link in the gray chain of interests. You're the only one... You have the courage to change Shadow Street. Your move, most wizards secretly applauded. But... Our voice is too weak for you to hear. I learned that you were banning advertisers' accounts and immediately logged on Shadow Street to tell you that the vast majority of wizards want Shadow Street to be cleared and become a true pure land, as it was before. ”

"But... You have a heavy burden on you. Those advertisers have accumulated a large number of accounts, and even have big witch accounts. They will not be reconciled and will not watch their accounts banned. They will definitely fight back... They will even issue bounties to buy your real name at a high price to assassinate you from reality. And... They will change different accounts, use different vests, and constantly discredit you. ”

Merlin continued: "So... That's what we call your act a feat. ”

"Shadow Street must change." Char's face was indifferent, "Since Shadow Street has given me permission, I have the right to do so. As for the counterattack of the petty people, I will find a way to deal with it. ”

"By the way, what about the Scarlet Witch?" Char's eyes swept over the bar, but she didn't see the Red Witch.

"The Scarlet Witch hasn't logged into Shadow Street in days." Merlin whispered, "But I've found some news, some news about the Red Witch. ”

"Oh? What's the news? Char is curious about the true identity of the Red Witch.

"The Red Witch is an avid admirer of Dr. Kakule, and she has been collecting Dr. Kakule's diary for research all these years." Merlin said.

"We all know that." Char nodded.

"What the Scarlet Witch is really interested in is an old computer number: 3-5100 left behind by Dr. Kakule. All these years, she has been searching for the whereabouts of this old computer. The other day, she seems to have found this computer and has been researching it, so she doesn't have time to land on Shadow Street. Merlin looked around and saw that no one was noticing, and snapped his fingers slightly.

A top-secret document from the Federation appears in front of Char.

Project Name: Dr. Kakule's Old Computer.

ID: 3-5100

Hazard Level 2: A human has suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons while using it.

Description: The 3-5100 is a computer assembled by Dr. Kakule himself, and like the computers of his era, it is bulky and cumbersome, with a very low resolution, and the computer has the most primitive operating system installed on it, and can be connected to the Internet, but the network speed is extremely slow, with a transfer rate of less than 10MB per second.

Response: Unknown

Dr. W's investigative report: "This is an old antique that should have been in a museum, and I used it for an afternoon to play with minesweepers and found nothing special about it. Some people say that Dr. Kakule is missing because of this computer, don't be funny! ”

"Kakule's old computer? The Scarlet Witch has been looking for it? Char was surprised.

"Probably because of hobbies. The old computer had been left in the Confederacy's underground warehouse. Due to the negligence of a staff member, it was discarded as garbage and has been missing since, perhaps only an avid researcher of Dr. Kakule would have considered an old computer a treasure. ”

Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Hmm..."

Char nodded, and suddenly said, "I remember when you mentioned the urban legends of Hope City, you whispered about Nightmares?" You knew nightmares existed then? ”

"Of course I do, after all, Nightmare is a secret department of the Federation." Merlin said.

"Nightmares are secrets?" Char was stunned, the nightmare he was talking about seemed to be different from what Merlin said.

Char's body leaned back, and said quietly, "Tell me about it." ”

"Since the establishment of the Federation, crime rates have skyrocketed, and the death penalty is not enough to deter criminal traffickers. Some scientists who study dreams believe that in order to deter criminals and reduce crime, they must find new methods, so they set up a secret unit, Nightmares. ”

"Nightmares started out as a dream research institute that specialized in nightmares, the deepest fears of the human heart. They use these fears to create dreams that are as terrifying as hell. After entering the hellish dream, the condemned prisoner will be reincarnated over and over again, experiencing the terrifying dream, but he will never be liberated. ”

Later, the Federation found that the research on Nightmare was too radical and inhumane, so it called it off. In fact, nightmares still exist, and nightmares are constantly being studied. Every month, a condemned prisoner is sent to the institute... As for the progress of the nightmare research in the institute, it is a top secret of the Federation, and my clearance cannot access it. ”

"The agents of the Nightmare Research Institute generally have a high level of authority, above grade B. They are known as nightmares, or nightmare spreaders. The Nightmare Plague in Hope City, I think it has something to do with nightmares. ”

Merlin explained.

"Very useful information."

Char remained silent, but his heart was secretly cold.

In order to deter criminals, the Federation has set up an institution like the Nightmare Research Institute!

As a dream builder, Char is well aware of the horrors of nightmares!

It is a horror that comes from the deepest part of the heart, from the soul!

So far, Char doesn't dare to return to the playground and face Dream Girl!

Even if there is nothing obvious in the playground that makes people feel terrifying, Dream Girl is not an alien monster with a blue face and fangs, three heads and five arms!

But Char just felt terrible and instinctively chose to escape.

How long does it take for a criminal to fall into a hellish dream of endless reincarnation?

Char didn't know.

Judging by the rising crime rate, the Nightmare Institute's plan has failed.

But the Nightmare Institute still exists.

What research is still going on there?

Char was curious.

Regarding the Grim Reaper, Char also asked Merlin.

However, the rumors of the Grim Reaper have only recently begun to circulate in Hope City, and Merlin, who is far away in Science City, has not heard of it.
