The old man’s words caused Zhang Chu to have a lot of doubts.
And at this moment, Night Diem suddenly said, “Then if it’s true that you can wake up if you want to, I can try.”
“You?”Zhang Chu looked towards Night Diem.
Night Diem nodded, “Yeah, I think, I can totally enter the dream realm and see if I will be able to encounter that demon, and if I can, I might even be able to talk to it.”
“And ……,” Night Diem looked towards Zhang Chu, “With you around, I shouldn’t be in danger.”
Zhang Chu thought about it, since the Star Pagoda could restrain that kind of drowsiness, then once Night Diem really fell into a dream state, he should be able to wake her up as well.
So Zhang Chu said, “Yes, you can try.”
Upon hearing that, Night Diem immediately filled herself with a few more mouthfuls of wine, and then dozed off in a daze herself.
That demon controlling the dream realm seemed to come at any living being, and after Night Diem let go of her defences, she only dozed off two or three times before falling asleep in a daze.
She sat on that small chair, and in a short while, a bad smile appeared on her face, “Hey hey hey ……”
“What did this bastard dream about?”Zhang Chu thought in his heart.
“Beat, beat you to death, beat you to death!”Although Night Diem was asleep, the dream she had seemed to be very violent, her limbs swinging haphazardly and making punching motions.
Her dream, moreover, seemed to be quite intense, Night Diem kept on gesticulating, and it looked like there were quite a few enemies in her dream world.
After roughly half an hour, Night Diem still showed no signs of waking up at all, moreover, her heartbeat was accelerating, Zhang Chu even felt that there was an extremely special force that was beginning to draw away from Night Diem’s body.
“It’s not right, quickly make her wake up!”Bai Yan said.
Zhang Chu immediately grabbed Night Diem’s wrist and moved his heart, “Star Tower!”
Within the Star Pagoda, that divine power that restrained sleepiness erupted out and directly rushed into Night Diem’s body.
However, Night Diem’s brows furrowed slightly, and surprisingly, he did not wake up immediately.
Without the need for Zhang Chu’s command, the Star Pagoda sensed Night Diem’s condition, and the Star Pagoda suddenly erupted with a burst of even stronger spiritual power that rushed into Night Diem’s body.
This power was like a tidal wave, instantly surging into Night Diem’s sea of consciousness.
Night Diem, who was originally in deep sleep, his body trembled and his eyes widened violently as he came to his senses.
“My God!”Night Diem’s heart thumped, and her expression was ugly, as if she had experienced something horrible.
Zhang Chu immediately asked, “How is it?”
At this time, Night Diem’s heart was pounding as she said, “Zhang Chu, you absolutely cannot enter the dream realm, you must immediately, wake up all those who have entered the dream realm!”
“What have you discovered?”Bai Diem asked hurriedly.
At this moment, Night Diem said, “It wants to weave a world!”
“Who is it?”Zhang Chu asked.
“A cat, it can draw the power of life from people’s dreams, and the more people who are asleep, the stronger its power becomes.”
“And the stronger its power is, the more it is able to make more people sink into the dream realm forever, and once people sink into the dream realm, then they will be in the dream realm, contributing all of their own soul power, all of it, to it!”
“It told me that it wants the entire world, all the people, all the living beings, to all sleep into a huge dreamland, and in that dreamland, it is the king, and all the living beings, they have to listen to its control.”
Zhang Chu’s heart jumped, “Letting all living beings in the world, sink into a dream?”
Immediately after that, Zhang Chu asked, “Then won’t people starve to death if they don’t eat or drink?”
Night Diem shook its head, “I don’t know, before I could figure out everything, it found out that I wanted to pierce all its secrets, so it tried to kill me.”
“It can kill you?”Zhang Chu asked.
Night Diem nodded, “Well, it can kill me in the dream world, if you hadn’t saved me, I’m afraid it would have already killed me.”
“So, there is no such thing as waking up when you want to!”Zhang Chu said.
Night Diem nodded, “When I was in that dream, I knew very well in my mind that I was dreaming, and I tried to wake up, but no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t break free from that dream.”
“I see.”Zhang Chu said.
But next to him, that old man scratched his head, “That’s not right, but I was able to wake up all of a sudden, and besides, I can’t even go back to that dream if I want to now.”
Bai Yan looked at that old man and spoke, “You wouldn’t be in league with that dream demon, would you.”
“Just kidding, if I had that ability, would I still need to be in a place like this? I would have already asked it to make up another dream for me to become an emperor and go in for a dash.”The old man said indifferently.
At this time Night Diem sighed, “This old man is not a gang of dream demons, the reason why he was expelled from the dream realm is because …… he doesn’t have long to live.”
When Night Diem said this, the crowd froze slightly.
The old man was even more wide-eyed, “Daughter, what are you talking about?”
Night Diem, on the other hand, said, “Although the words are not nice, this time, after I entered the dream realm and encountered the dream demon, I did get a lot of information.”
“Because that dream demon felt that it would be impossible for me to leave the dream realm as long as I fell asleep, so it told me a lot of things.”
“One of the very important ones is that once someone’s life comes to an end, and they are unable to provide sleeping energy to its dream world, then that person, will be expelled from the dream world.”
“And the person who is expelled from the dream world will be deprived of the ability to sleep, will never be able to sleep again, so ……”
Night Diem looked at Old Bao with a very sympathetic gaze and sighed, “His ability to sleep has been completely taken away by the Dream Demon.”
“Daughter, you don’t scare me, I just have insomnia these days, how can I die, I’m in good shape, I still have to take care of my son, and earn my son’s pension money.”
Saying that, the old man panicked: “I can’t die, I can’t die ah, if I die, what about my son? I’m not afraid to die, I’m really not afraid to die.”
“But I’m just afraid, if I die, what about my son? He can’t take care of himself, he doesn’t have any brothers, and my relatives all dislike him.”Tsung Tsung said
“If I die, he won’t even survive the winter.”
Zhang Chu hurriedly comforted, “Old man, don’t panic, maybe, what happened in Night Diem’s dream was all that dream demon tricking her.”
However, in reality, Zhang Chu could tell that the old man’s vitality was indeed about to be cut off.
Suddenly, the old man hiccupped, his eyes suddenly stiffened, and the entire person suddenly just froze in place, dead.
Zhang Chu hurriedly checked the old man’s condition, his breathing was gone, his heartbeat had also stopped, the entire person, just so suddenly died.
“This Dream Demon, truly hateful.”Zhang Chu said.
“Bury him?”Night Yan asked.
Zhang Chu sighed, “We’re outsiders, it’s better not to bury him, just put him in the house and leave the corpse for a few days first.”
After all, a person’s death was a big deal, even in a small village like this, it still needed to be organised by the townspeople.
Zhang Chu still felt that the need to completely solve the problem of the Dream Demon in this place and wake everyone up was the top priority.
“Let’s go to the talisman station first.”Zhang Chu said, now that the old man was dead, they could only go to the Rune Station first to check the situation.
