Falsifying history is good business

"What will you choose, Morpheus?" Lin You made a series of comments on the question of "saving the boy or protecting the world", and finally urged the Sandman to make a choice, while he waited for the answer as if it had nothing to do with him.

The King of Dreams replied: "Perhaps, there is no need to choose."

"Do you have a way to have the best of both worlds?" Lin You asked. Rose's eyes lit up and she was full of anticipation.

"Gott has just returned to the Dream Kingdom. She claims to have brought news about Jed Walker and asked to talk to me." Morpheus uttered another unfamiliar name.

"Gott? Let me guess... another nightmare?"

Morpheus nodded. "Yes, one of the three nightmares that escaped. My previous speculation was correct. Before Collins, a nightmare found Jed and stayed with him to help him cut off his connection with the dreamland. That nightmare was Gort."

"What is she here for? Is she here to pass on a message for Collins?" Lin You felt that this guess was logical.

Morpheus said, "I don't know. I need to meet her to discuss it in detail. Do you want to come with me?"

"Of course, now that I'm here, I might as well have some free time."

Rose asked hurriedly, "Can I go too?"

Lin You first looked at the King of Dreams and found that he had no objection, so he said, "Go back to the car and I'll take you to a place where you can sleep and dream peacefully. By the way, do you still remember how to get to the temple last time? Never mind, it doesn't matter if you forgot. Just let Morpheus send a crow to pick you up."

After taking some time to send Rose back to the hotel she had rented, Lin You once again entered the dreamland with his consciousness. Having already walked through it once, he was familiar with the route the second time and headed straight for the temple. As a result, when he pushed the door open and entered, he saw Morpheus "debating" with a strange tall black woman.

The writer listened with great interest and found that the tall black woman was "Gott", one of the defected nightmares mentioned by Morpheus. Obviously, although the King of Dreams acquiesced to the writer and Rose entering the dreamland, he did not promise to wait until they arrived before starting the conversation.

The "debate" between the King of Dreams and the defected Nightmare did not last long. It was basically Got explaining his ambition to be a "nightmare" but have a "dream", while Morpheus denied the "dream" of "nightmare", believing that such an idea was heretical.

According to the statement of the King of Dreams, everything in the world, including every person and every life, is born with different responsibilities; whether it is the King of Dreams or Nightmares, they should and can only perform their innate duties and should not have any thoughts of deviating from the track.

After a "righteous" accusation, seeing that Goth was not convinced, Morpheus angrily locked Nightmare into an endless dark space.

After the temple calmed down, Lin You asked slowly, "So this nightmare was not about 'defection', but about 'running away from home' to pursue one's dream?"

Morpheus frowned slightly: "What are you talking about?"

Lin You smiled and commented on the previous "debate": "From a human perspective, I should agree with the idea of ​​Nightmare Goth. As an intelligent life, there should be no responsibilities that are destined by birth; on the contrary, the biggest difference between intelligent life and ignorant life is the infinite possibilities contained in life. Of course, if you look at Goth not as an intelligent life, but just a tool, then your position is correct; tools are made for specific purposes."

"You are here for Rose Walker and your sister, not to comment on the management methods of the Dream Kingdom." The Dream King said expressionlessly.

"Okay, then just pretend I didn't say anything." Lin You laughed and turned the topic to business. "What news did that Gotte bring? Is she Collins' accomplice?"

Murphys' expression eased a little, and he replied, "She is not. She came to tell me about Jed. Collins took the boy to a hotel and hid him there. She also warned me that there were many dangerous people in the hotel who might endanger the boy's safety."

"No wonder she was willing to be locked up in the dark place by you without resistance. If she was Collins' accomplice, she would have threatened you with Jed's life." Although he said so, Lin You's tone was not relaxed. "I think it's better to speed up, otherwise when Collins finds out that Gaote is the informant, he will definitely take Jed and escape again. We have to end this as soon as possible and not make any more trouble."

"I think so too. But... why hasn't Rose come yet?" Morpheus looked out of the temple through the window, and soon he saw the crow Matthew flying back, chirping and chattering as usual.

"I didn't see that girl. She didn't come at all. I tell you, she must have changed her mind, or she has the old bad habit of women. These girls have to put on beautiful makeup even when they go out to throw away the garbage. When I was alive, the longest time I waited for a woman to put on makeup was three hours. When they picked the lipstick color for themselves, they were more meticulous than Leonardo da Vinci and Van Gogh in mixing paints. I dare say that if the human face was turned into a canvas, the top painters in the world would all be women..." Lin You and Morpheus tacitly ignored the rest of the 90% of Crow's words.

"She didn't come? Did she get lost, or was her dream interrupted like Jed?" The writer looked at the King of Dreams inquiringly, "Could it be that after Collins took away his brother, he got ahead of us again and took away his sister?"

"Go and see where she is in real life?" Morpheus asked.

Lin You raised his eyes and met Morpheus' gaze, and Rose's address information was passed to him; "It's the hotel where she stayed before."

The two stopped talking and their figures disappeared from the dreamland at the same time, leaving only the chattering crow staring at the empty temple in a daze.

In reality, Lin You woke up from the driver's seat, pushed the door and got out of the car, just in time to see Morpheus' figure emerging in the sunlight.

The car was parked in the parking lot behind the hotel, and the two walked into the hotel side by side.

"You seem to appear at any time, regardless of day or night. According to people's stereotypes, shouldn't sleeping and dreaming be more associated with the night?" Lin You asked as he walked.

Morpheus replied calmly: "Some people sleep during the day, and even if not, there will be people who daydream."

Just as the writer burst out laughing, Morpheus asked again with some doubt: "I thought you would be more concerned about Rose's experience now, instead of focusing on me."

"Although my consciousness is in a dream, I am not completely unaware of the surrounding environment. I can confirm that nothing unusual has happened around the hotel; of course, if the abnormal situation happened in a dream, I would not know about it and would not be able to intervene." When they walked into the hotel, the front desk clerk on duty was drowsy, waiting for the day shift colleagues to take over; the two of them walked straight past it, silently came to Rose's room, and pushed the door open.

Nothing unusual happened in the room, and Rose Walker herself was safe and sound. She was tossing and turning in bed, and when she saw the two people come in, she sat up suddenly.

"Why are you here? Is it over?" the girl asked anxiously.

"Of course, time in dreams goes much faster than in reality." Lin Youlue looked around and confirmed that there was nothing unusual. His expression became more and more puzzled. "Why didn't you go? Weren't you very anxious at the beginning? Did something happen to you?"

Rose looked embarrassed when she heard this, and said with a sad face: "I...I can't sleep; I think I have insomnia."

"..."

"..."

This one sentence silenced the King of Dreams and the writer.

Come to think of it, it was only a short while after daybreak. Although Rose had not slept well the night before, she was young and energetic after all. In addition, she was worried about her brother's safety, so it was normal for her to be unable to sleep with so many worries.

Only a child of Minerva's age would be so heartless and able to fall asleep at any time.

"Well...it seems that the Dream Kingdom does have some natural flaws in terms of control." Lin You teased Morpheus, only to receive an expressionless squinting look from the other party.

"Since everything is alright, let's go. I'll take you to find your brother." Lin You waved his hand, "Get in the car and take my dimensional passage. Don't waste time on the road, or you'll be discovered by Collins and end up with nothing." (End of this chapter)
