Facing an Ancient God for a Year
Chapter 1238 - 1136: Dream Unknown

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1136: Dream Unknown

Is it really that silky smooth on its own?

Although it was similar to what he imagined, the smoothness of Reysen’s logic still impressed Fu Qian deeply

Decades of experiences amounted to merely one night of a nightmare.

And the cause of the nightmare was simply because he had come into contact with a special painting at the exhibition.

Although it’s terrifying upon deep thought, logically, it can’t be directly negated.

"The moment you mentioned the art gallery, I knew why you showed up here,"

Seeing that Fu Qian remained silent, Reysen continued to speak.

"That place is very special...something is seeping through the exhibits, and working there is definitely dangerous."

"So this is why our salaries are not bad? There really is no free lunch, huh!"

Fu Qian softly sighed, using Mrs. Harper’s perspective, and naturally posed a question.

"But if it’s really that dangerous, why is it still open to the public instead of being completely sealed off?"

"The Sect should be aware, right? Although Amila did not admit it directly."

"She didn’t tell me either, but we have discussed this issue, and have a speculation..."

Reysen glanced at his wife beside him.

"They are searching for the source."

"...The source of the nightmare?"

"Exactly."

Mr. Reysen lowered his voice.

"Although The Sect strictly controls information, from what I see, the troubled are definitely not just a few people, and it happens within a very short timeframe."

"I think The Sect is trying to extract information from the victims to determine how the invasion occurs, in order to completely eradicate the threat."

Reasonable and evidenced, it seems that the Reysen couple had indeed spent a lot of effort in escaping the nightmare.

Fu Qian slightly nodded his head.

In fact, if it’s really as he said, the various peculiarities also become reasonable.

The staff’s high salaries, the excessively quick responses from the police, and the Sect members that appeared quickly after he shared his nightmare experience.

"However, thinking positively, things are already improving significantly, no need to worry excessively."

Giving the younger generation who came for advice some time to digest, Reysen continued with a smile.

"Like this time, you only suffered for one day, right?"

"Indeed."

Fu Qian was noncommittal, and suddenly remembered something the next moment.

"May I ask, the concentrated occurrences you mentioned earlier, when exactly did they happen?"

"About a month ago."

Mrs. Reysen, who had been silent all along, directly interjected this time.

"At least the victims like us were in the same situation."

"Why are you so certain?"

Fu Qian slightly nodded.

"Because during that time, at The Sect, we encountered more than one familiar face, faces that appeared in the nightmares... "

"Although most are already blurred, I can still faintly feel it."

"From those faces, I could see they were equally troubled, just like you are now... Do you remember anything?"

When asking this question, Reysen’s expression was somewhat unnatural.

"Like you said, I was only there for a day."

Fu Qian slowly shook his head.

He understood that some of the experiences in the nightmare were not so pleasant, whether for himself or others, it’s better not to remember them.

He had no malevolent curiosity in bursting that bubble.

"There’s not much I can remember, but what impressed me the most was the eight beams of light in the sky."

"How could it be eight?"

This time, the Reysens almost simultaneously expressed their astonishment.

"Is there a problem? Isn’t it the same on the painting?"

Fu Qian asked with confusion.

"The same color and shape, that was the most striking thing to me."

"We are still very sure about this; in that prolonged nightmare, the number was always seven."

Reysen spoke with absolute certainty.

"The eighth one you mentioned on the painting, we went back to look at it later, it seemed more like a graffito added afterwards rather than original content, because even its shape looks like a hand."

Logical... and even consistent with reality.

Fu Qian praised.

But if this statement is true, the implications behind it are not very good.

"It might just be a nightmare then."

"So how did you finally get rid of it? Just woke up one day together? Do the memories of the nightmare stop at a certain point?"

"Yes, I still remember the feeling... cold, decaying, the fear that it could vanish at any moment, and then in an instant, all was gone, couldn’t threaten you even in the slightest."

Mrs. Reysen eagerly described, her face showing a sincere smile of relief, quite impactful.

So, not only is the World Within the Painting just a fictitious nightmare, but even the Witch does not exist in this world within the dreams?

Unfortunately, Fu Qian felt nothing towards this, just furrowing his brows inwardly.

According to what he had seen, at least Mrs. Reysen clearly had converted to the Dark Moon faith.

In that situation, to say nothing else, at least the fear that might vanish anytime should no longer haunt her.

Combined with the statement about the seven lights, the description just had one explanation, which is that their memories of the World Within the Painting stayed in their past.

The information after that, for them, had disappeared.

As for why it disappeared, it’s really hard to specify.

Fu Qian stroked the Dark Moon Ring.

The situation was becoming increasingly tricky.

The two people found seem to be completely unable to provide any valuable information about what had happened later, and even if others were found, the result would likely be the same.

Not to mention he didn’t have the time or condition to continue probing.

Need to select the right stimulus to make the Celestial Sphere Sect, who might know something, bring out something new.

"I can very well understand your feelings, the nightmare is so real that it is hard to distinguish whether you are waking up or entering a dream, in fact, I see it as a manifestation of erosion."

"The nightmare is polluting our world this way, but I believe you will eventually regain your own life."

At that moment, Reysen summarized and offered words of encouragement.

"Thank you for your regards, from what was just said, are there others attacked by other nightmares?"

Fu Qian activated the Clear Dream Ring.

"I do know another potential victim... you want to compare? That’s a good idea, but better not let The Sect know about it."

Reysen considered for a moment and then sincerely replied.

"Do you have his address?"

"... I’ll write it down for you."

...

"Not being able to distinguish between waking and dreaming is indeed a manifestation of pollution, that’s very logical."

Declining a dinner invitation from the eager victimized couple, Fu Qian soon headed back.

However, almost as soon as he left the sight of that building, he looked at the address in his hand and scoffed.

"Too bad, I don’t need this to confirm which side is the real one."

The next moment, Fu Qian crumpled the thick invitation paper into a ball and casually threw it into a ditch.

And did not notice at all that this action was entirely observed by a figure lurking in the shadows.
