Chapter 3: Nightmare of the Second Degree

Nightmares are a kind of fantasy that inexplicably descends into the world, they have no physical body, they are difficult to find, they devour souls and take life.

Nightmares are also hierarchical.

The lowest nightmares are very weak, and even the dreams of ordinary people with strong blood and strong wills must not be easily invaded, otherwise, they are like fog under the scorching sun, waiting for them to disappear.

Level 1 and Level 2 nightmares often sneak into human dreams first, and then subtly hypnotize the dreamer's soul through their own natural abilities, causing them to fall from peaceful dreams to terrifying dreams. When the dreamer's fear level reaches a certain level, the nightmare can drag it into the trap they have set and throw it into their own realm, devouring the soul!

Since the beginning of the third level, the nightmare has the ability to manipulate human dreams, which is much stronger than the nightmares of the previous levels. In other words, compared to the previous low-level nightmares who still needed to "seduc/rape", nightmares above level 3 have already started the "strong/rape" mode.

Obviously, this time, the nightmare that Meng Fan and the young man had to face, although they were able to manipulate the young man's dreams to a small extent, their strength was far from reaching the third level.

At this moment, the scenery around Meng Fan and the young man changed greatly, but in just more than ten seconds, they moved from the originally formidable hell path to a bright and closed room with a width of more than 100 square meters. The two of them stood in the middle of the room.

The room was empty and empty, and the sunlight shone through the heavy glass ceiling, leaving no dark corners in the room. However, at the edge of this room, there is a place that does not fit in with the situation in this whole room.

There, a shadow like black smoke floated in the air, formless and incorporeal, constantly tumbling, squeezing hard against the wall, as if it was about to squeeze through the room and escape.

No, it's not like ...... But...... This wall is full of cracks, and it will soon be escaped!

"Oops! If you get out of the nightmare, it's not easy to deal with! ”

Meng Fan saw the dense cracks on the wall in front of him, he knew that the situation was not good, and he didn't have time to greet the young man, the thought in his heart turned around, and the whole person was like a furious bull, rushing towards the nightmare.

It's just that at this time, I want to run like I did in the outer dream world, but I can't, because this is the main land, but it is not the public domain of the outer dream world.

Even if the master of this dream world is that young man, even if that young man is not hostile to Meng Fan, and even has the heart to help Meng Fan, but controlling his own dream world and controlling other people in the dream world are two completely different realms, even if this person is in the dream world under his control, it is definitely not something that this young man can do.

In the same way, this boy can only trap the nightmare by manipulating the dream world, and it is absolutely impossible to control the nightmare through this.

At this moment, Meng Fan strode forward, ignoring the injuries on his body, and it still took a full seven or eight seconds before he was about to rush to the front of this nightmare.

However, after such a long time, under the desperate attack of this nightmare, the walls that were conjured up in the boy's dream world are now more and more cracked and mottled, even if the boy has tried his best to maintain it, it still can't stop it from breaking the blockade!

"Boom!"

At this moment, the wall collapsed, and the smoke-like body of the nightmare fluctuated, and a sharp and pleasant voice was also released: "Hiss~"

Where the wall collapsed, the outside world was revealed, and it was in the glass of the three-story building!

Seeing that the nightmare screamed sharply, and most of the body of Ruyan had escaped along the broken gap in the dream world, Meng Fan suddenly jumped up under his feet, and the whole person rushed towards the nightmare, and the baton in his right hand was clenched, and he stabbed into the black smoke!

"Ziz ......"

Where the baton was inserted, the body of the black smoke-like nightmare seemed to be burned by strong sulfuric acid, and patches of black mist were emitted when it landed.

"Whew......"

The nightmare roared in pain, and it actually sped up, and the remaining half of its body pierced out of the boy's dream world and fell to the ground.

"Bang!"

Meng Fan's whole body passed through the nightmare body, as if through a viscous slurry, and fell heavily to the ground.

Rao is determined to be strong, this fall was not light, and his own injuries were even more serious, and his soul, which was already slightly uncontrollable, shook more violently at this moment, and it slowed down for a second or two before Meng Fan struggled to get up.

At this moment, Meng Fan suddenly felt a cool air coming from behind him, his heart flashed alertly, and he instantly forgot the pain on his body, instinctively rolled and flashed to the side, and at the same time, with the help of the force of rolling, he stood up and faced the back.

There, the nightmare was roaring and suspended half a foot above the ground, and where the baton came into contact with the nightmare's body, black smoke was emitting, and the nightmare's body was churning as if it were billowing smoke, and the baton was gradually detached from its body.

"Dang!"

The baton fell to the ground with a crisp sound, smashing a circle of colored ripples on the ground.

Meng Fan looked at this nightmare vigilantly, his body bent forward slightly, the pain under his feet did not weaken for half a minute, and his back felt a burning pain.

He knew that at that moment, although his reaction was not unpleasant, he still could not dodge the nightmare's attack in time.

At this time, the young man had also run to the window and opened it.

Below, the dream police brother who saved him and the nightmare confronted each other, his left foot was half a crippled paw, and white light was constantly emitting from the wound, and his back was also a palm-sized pitch black, which was constantly burning a trace of heat.

The young man was anxious, he knew that the white light that emanated from the wound of the dream policeman was not something else, but his spiritual energy, and the pitch-black scar on his back was not a burn, but a soul injury eroded by the nightmare energy.

"Brother Fan, come on!" The boy muttered, looking anxiously and worriedly at the one person and one nightmare facing each other below.

Article 1 of the Nightmare Act: "All human beings in the world have an obligation to assist the Dream Police in destroying the nightmares that have infiltrated their dreams." ”

Article 1 of the Nightmare Act supplements the bill: "In order to ensure their own safety, and in order to avoid interfering with the work of the Dream Police, unless their lives are threatened, ordinary humans shall not easily participate in the confrontation between the Dream Police and Nightmare in the Pan-Dream Realm." ”

The "Nightmare Act" was established in 2019, after human beings were able to enter the pan-dream realm for the first time on their own, and it was jointly negotiated and established by all major powers in the whole world, and applied to the whole world. Since then, the bill has been continuously revised, and now in 2033, it has been supplemented quite comprehensively.

Nightmares are the mortal enemy of human beings, so the existence of the first one is in the form of a law, forcing everyone to help kill nightmares in their own dreams. The supplementary clause of this first article is to avoid unnecessary casualties to ordinary people.

After all, in the pan-dream world, ordinary people who have not undergone systematic training are not even cannon fodder in the confrontation with nightmares, even if they have undergone systematic learning and training, if they can't pass the dream controller assessment, they are just cannon fodder.

"Hiss~~"

The nightmare let out a terrible roar, and its black body had floated over in an instant, and its body had also twisted and changed in an instant, and a huge claw had already grabbed the top of Meng Fan's head, the tip of the claw was as black as ink, glowing with a faint cold light.

Meng Fan kept staring at the nightmare movements, and at the moment when the nightmare pounced, the other person had already rolled on one side, obliquely avoiding the nightmare's black claws, and grabbed the baton that fell on the ground with his right hand, without looking, he threw it backwards, and the whole person had rolled and stood up.

"Whew!"

The baton was like a sharp flying sword, and it slammed into the nightmare's body, causing it to scream in pain, and the huge claws formed by the black smoke had already grasped the baton behind it.

"Ziz ......"

Where the black claw and the baton meet, the black mist rises, and another black claw condenses from the nightmare's black smoke-like body, grabbing the other end of the baton, the nightmare has already roared angrily, and the claws are so hard that they are about to break the thing that hurt it twice!

"Bang!"

The baton bent suddenly, and it was about to break, at this moment, Meng Fan had already risen up, his left foot volleyed, kicked on the left paw of the nightmare, kicked the nightmare backwards, and his right foot was already hooked, bringing up the baton that the nightmare got out of his hand, and the person was in mid-air, grabbed the baton, and slashed hard!

"Boom!"

The baton slashed like a knife, rolling up a dazzling white light, and even the air was brought up with a wind sound, the wind roared angrily, following the baton, splitting the nightmare in half from the middle, and Meng Fan still maintained the action of splitting in the air and fell to the ground!

"Whew!"

The nightmare screamed in pain, this one was much louder than the previous ones, but it was also much weaker than before, and there was a faint fear in the voice!

In just a few moments, its smoke-like body had condensed again, but its originally pitch-black body had become much thinner.

"Whew!"

The nightmare roared and flew backwards.

"Brother Fan, quick, the nightmare is going to escape!" The boy saw that the nightmare was about to escape, and he panicked, and hurriedly reminded him.

Although Meng Fan was facing away from the Nightmare at this time, how could he, who had been dealing with the Nightmare for so long, not know the habits of these things?

At the moment when the young man spoke, he had already moved, the whole person was as fast as a cheetah, and he couldn't see how many muscular bodies, but at this moment, he burst out at a terrifying speed, and the baton in his hand danced, bringing a whirlwind!

"Boom......"

The wind whistled incessantly, and the batons danced dazzlingly, and after a while, Meng Fan put away the baton and stood on the ground.

The white light on his feet had ceased to glow, and the black burns on his back were still there, and he stood there, falling into the eyes of the young man, but he stood like a mountain, unmoving.

"Bang!"

Black smoke flew like a dream.
