Falsifying history is good business

After reviewing Minerva's recent living habits with Diana, Lin You dragged his sister out of bed early the next morning, and tortured her to extract a confession; the punishment included but was not limited to confiscation of the phoenix, doubling the workload, extending the hours of extracurricular tutoring classes, etc.

How could the little girl have ever experienced such a situation? The housekeeper was sent away in advance, leaving her alone to fight two people. In a blink of an eye, she was defeated miserably, and the little secret she had in her sleep was revealed clearly.

After listening to his sister's "confession", Lin You's face remained unchanged. With the information about the boy Jade he had just obtained, his consciousness directly broke through the boundary between matter and thought and broke into the gate of the dream kingdom.

This is a magnificent and ever-changing dream world; there are no boundaries in the physical sense, as if the vast space like the universe is divided into countless subspaces, and each space has its own special little world.

These small worlds are different in terms of time, space, astronomy, geography, and even the characters in the world. Maybe the previous one is the Middle Ages of Dungeons and Dragons, and a few steps forward will lead to the near future of Cyberpunk, and a few more steps will lead to the technological fork of Steampunk.

Some small worlds contain almost the entire galaxy or even the universe, allowing the characters in them to pilot spaceships and travel through the galaxy; some small worlds only have a house, a tree, or a small corner of a park, allowing people to pursue their past memories; perhaps the first glance may show bright sunshine and warmth, but the next glance may turn it into a chilly world with gusts of wind and the howling of ghosts and wolves.

Each small world is a dream, and countless dreams with different time and space, attributes, and rules are pieced together, surrounding the core area of ​​the dream kingdom - the temple of Morpheus, the sleeper.

The temple was surrounded by quiet green mountains and clear waters, which was exactly the same as the world of the material plane. While walking along the road and taking in the scenery of the dream kingdom, Lin You probably guessed the truth about the core area.

People often say: What you think about during the day, you dream about at night; although dreaming is an activity at the level of spiritual consciousness, in the final analysis, the content of dreams always comes from reality.

Therefore, dreams and reality will interfere with and influence each other.

The temple of the Sandman is exactly the place that is closest to reality in the entire dream kingdom; it is both the core of the dream and the barrier that separates the dream and reality. The temple is located here to monitor the interference between reality and dreams in real time to ensure that the boundary between the two worlds will not be broken.

When Morpheus commissioned Lin You to find Jed, he gave him permission to enter the temple, but now it became an opportunity for the writer to come and demand accusation; the door of the temple burst open, and Morpheus came out with a look of shock on his face, and then a stack of information was thrown in his face.

Naturally, there would be no truly material things in the world of dreams. These data were ultimately part of Lin You's memory and consciousness. This operation was probably equivalent to Dumbledore pulling out a piece of memory from his brain and throwing it in someone else's face.

"Jed Walker is a goose that lays golden eggs. Every month, he lays a golden egg called 'support subsidy' for his adoptive parents, which is worth $800. This contains all the official records of his life from birth to the present, a total of twelve years; including his current foster family and school, which is enough for you to find him."

Lin You, who threw out the information, kept approaching Morpheus, grabbed his collar and lifted him up; although this was the world of dreams and the home of the sleep demon, it did not stop Lin You from overpowering him. The author did not enter the world through dreams, but actively projected his consciousness as a true god into it, which meant that he could mobilize his own divine power soberly and efficiently.

"But before you go looking for someone, you'd better explain to me first: Why did Jed's sister, Rose Walker, appear in my sister's dream? As for you, what role did you play in it?"

The King of Dreams frowned, and his already cold expression became even more stern and serious; as his expression changed, the temple began to tremble slightly, and then showed serious aggressiveness against the "invaders".

The originally solid ground suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a bottomless abyss. As Lin You continued to fall, the temple above his head shattered, and countless bricks, stones and tiles gathered into a torrent that rushed into the abyss, submerging his figure in an instant.

From outside the temple, countless bizarre things flew out of the subspace constructed by dreams; there were blood-red floods, dragons spewing fire, clowns laughing strangely, and rats and bugs everywhere. Although there were many species and appearances, they had one thing in common, that is, they all belonged to the negative emotions in dreams, coming from the evil thoughts in the subconscious of the dreamer - they could be directed at the dreamer himself, or at the person he hated in the dream.

This is the advantage of fighting at home. Every dreaming intellectual life in the world will inadvertently provide assistance to the Dream King. Countless evil thoughts from dreams are mobilized by the Dream King. In the process of approaching the temple, they are decomposed and transformed, and finally transformed into raw spiritual energy, and integrated into Morpheus's consciousness level, becoming his weapon to attack the enemy.

A violent snowstorm suddenly blew up in the abyss, and thick white fog rose around Morpheus and Lin You. Soon, hot magma gushed out from under their feet. All the changes seemed like illusions, but also like reality. Lin You was fearless; no matter how the surrounding environment changed, falling into the abyss, being buried alive by bricks and rubble, or the wind, frost, rain and snow, it could not touch him at all.

All the real and fake attacks disappeared the moment they touched him. No matter when, his hand always firmly grasped Morpheus' collar, keeping him under his control, making him unable to retreat or hide.

The two of them always faced each other, and no matter how the surrounding environment changed, their posture and even the expressions on their faces did not change at all.

Fire gradually shone around the writer; the golden flames burned fiercely, and all evil thoughts and illusions were burned to ashes as they approached him. Even though he was in the home court of the King of Dreams, even in the spiritual contest that the King of Dreams was best at, Lin You was not at a disadvantage at all.

An unknown amount of time had passed since he fell. In a trance, Lin You found himself "on the ground" again, still standing on the solid ground of the temple. The surrounding walls were neat, the dome was high, and the doors and windows were the same, as if nothing had happened.

Outside the temple, all the evil thoughts gathered together and returned to their original positions.

Morpheus remained silent, looked down at his collar, and gave up trying to break free.

"Rose Walker is the dream vortex of this generation." The King of Dreams spoke for the first time since they met.

Lin You shook his head gently and said, "I don't know your professional terminology. Shouldn't the term 'dream vortex' have an easy-to-understand explanation?"

"You can simply think of it as a destroyer of dreams; just as a whirlpool in the water will drag things on the surface into the bottom of the water, the dream whirlpool will drag things from the dream kingdom into reality, or vice versa. In either case, it will cause serious damage to both worlds at the same time."

"How destructive is the dream vortex? How serious is the so-called 'serious damage'?" Lin You asked.

"The destructive power of a whirlpool depends on its size. A whirlpool in a fountain can only drag down a leaf at most, but a whirlpool in the sea can drag down a 10,000-ton ship. A dream whirlpool is ultimately a person, and an intellectual life will gradually grow."

"How big will the dream vortex grow?" Lin You continued to ask, "Will it drag away a person, a house, a mountain, or a city..."

"A world. It will break the barrier between reality and dreams, dragging the entire world to the other side, and eventually smashing it to pieces." The Dream King's voice was rigid and monotonous, making it impossible to judge His tone and attitude. "The most serious damage caused by the dream vortex led to the destruction of an entire universe. Since then, I know that every dream vortex must be destroyed before it grows out of control."

"How to destroy it?"

"I said, the Dream Vortex is ultimately a sentient being; destroying it means killing it."

"Rose Walker?"

"Yes, I am looking for Jed Walker in order to find his sister Rose Walker through him and kill her." (End of this chapter)
