The world around him began to collapse, like a huge screen flashing continuously.

Lu Xin felt like he was being pulled down by the hand grabbing his leg, which gave him a feeling of being on top of the world.

As the surrounding scenes continued to change, he felt that he was still in this hotel room for a while, and felt that he was in another world for a while. It was like a person who was about to fall asleep, entering a dream without knowing it, and then woke up.

"Is it someone with Dreamweaver-type ability that's affecting me?"

Lu Xin's face was very calm, and he even considered this issue slowly.

He first observed his surroundings to make sure that no other powerful enough Pollution Source or ability user was affecting him.

Then he determined that the problem did lie with the hand sticking out of Xiao Yuan's body.

"This should be the power that Dreamweaver-type's ability left in Xiao Yuan's body. It seemed to sense that Xiao Yuan was at a critical moment to complete the dream suggestion, but was blocked by an external force. Therefore, this power appeared automatically and wanted to drag me into the dream?"

Lu Xin's thinking is very clear, his analysis is calm and efficient, and he is very efficient.

After thinking about the logical reason in his mind, he leaned down and grabbed the hand on his leg.

Although he is not as good at tearing things apart as his sister, he should be able to deal with this hand.

"Buzz!"

Just when Lu Xin was about to grab the hand, the hand suddenly disappeared completely.

The surrounding flickers had also disappeared, and Lu Xin felt like he had suddenly returned to the real world.

He was still in the hotel room, Xiao Yuan fell to the ground, and the female secretary was holding her legs and crying bitterly.

The bodyguards outside the room had already rushed to the door of the room. After the female secretary fell, they saw Lu Xin holding a gun in her hand. This surprised them, and they hurriedly took out submachine guns from behind their clothes and fired at them.

"Bah, bah, bah..."

A series of bullets flew in front of Lu Xin.

Lu Xin frowned. At this time, he had the opportunity to dodge or fight back at them with a gun.

But he didn't move, letting the bullet hit him.

The bullets passed through his body, leaving countless bloody holes, and he felt unimaginable pain.

Lu Xin felt that his vitality was rapidly draining away with the blood, and his body no longer even had the strength to stand.

But just when he was about to fall, he lowered his head slightly and looked at his body.

Looking at his body carefully, he found that there were no bullet holes in his body, and the pain suddenly disappeared.

I am dreaming now...

When I went to pull the pale hand, the hand suddenly disappeared. In fact, it didn't really disappear.

But at that time, it finally pulled itself into a dream.

A dream based on real-life circumstances.

So, how to break this dream...

... Before a single thought passed through his mind, Lu Xin suddenly saw that Xiao Yuan, who was being stepped on by him, had his whole body twisted and ferocious. He actually flipped over when his back was being stepped on, and the muscles on his face became distorted. He opened his mouth full of fangs and bit down hard on his leg. His eyes looked straight at him, revealing a terrifying light.

This sudden scene made Lu Xin have the urge to shoot him.

But Lu Xin still didn't. He just frowned and looked at Xiao Yuan biting his calf without speaking or smiling.

As if he was embarrassed by what he saw, Xiao Yuan slowly let go and returned to his original position.

"Is this Dreamweaver-type's forced dream?"

Lu Xin thought silently and looked at the surrounding environment.

He was not in a hurry to move because he knew that when facing a Dreamweaver-type ability user, moving would make it easier to fall into passivity.

The first principle when facing people with Dreamweaver-type ability is not to believe in haste.

Any reality that you believe in may be an attack on you by the dreamer.

On the contrary, when you don't believe it, the attack power will be weakened to the extreme.

Remaining calm, Lu Xin was observing quietly.

At first glance, the surroundings seem very real, but if you look carefully, you will find that there are hazy lights and shadows everywhere.

This kind of unreal light and shadow can only be discovered when you look at it intentionally.

Otherwise, it would not be noticeable at all.

Moreover, at this time, the more carefully I looked, the clearer my consciousness became.

Lu Xin, who temporarily studied the information about Dreamweaver-type's ability user for a whole night, naturally knew that Dreamweaver-type's ability user had an ability called "forced dreaming".

Dreamweaver-type ability user's core ability is to transform people's dreams.

But there are two types of dream transformations.

One is to quietly sneak into the sleeper's dream when a person is asleep.

In this case, the sleeper is completely unable to detect the unreality of the dream.

The other is to force one to fall into a dream, and the specific effect depends on the will of the Dreamweaver-type ability user and the affected person.

Those with weak will still cannot distinguish the authenticity of dreams.

Those with a strong will may retain some clear consciousness, quickly discover flaws, and wake up.

This is the case with Lu Xin today. Although he was forced into a dream, he always maintained his will and quickly discovered the unreality of the dream. By this time, it was difficult for a dream that he knew to be unreal to continue to trap him.

Even the time he experienced in the dream was much longer than that in the outside world.

Dreams and reality do not flow at the same speed.

Usually, what kind of attack a Dreamweaver-type ability user performs on a person who is forced into a dream will determine what kind of time flow rate will occur.

Just like he created the action of the bodyguards rushing in and shooting at Lu Xin with their guns, then the time required for this action represents the time in the dream.

In reality, it is likely that less than a second has passed.

Under normal circumstances, the first stage Dreamweaver-type ability user can only lengthen the time in the dream, but cannot speed it up.

Seeing the hazy light and shadow around him begin to fade, the dream is about to be broken.

At this time, Lu Xin heard a faint laughter and felt slightly dizzy.

This kind of laughter seems to have some kind of ability.

Following the laughter and looking over, Lu Xin saw a pale white hand slowly stretching out on the wall next to it, then a head with a drooped head, and then a body in white clothes slowly protruding from the wall.

It lowered its head, its hair fell down, and its face could not be seen. Only its echo-like laughter could be heard.

"Is this the embodiment of the spiritual power left by Dreamweaver-type?"

Lu Xin thought of the Beginning, the hand that pulled him into sleep. It was obvious that that hand belonged to him.

So, does killing it mean that this power is eliminated?

Lu Xin While thinking, he inserted a black bullet into the revolver of the revolver.

This is the special bullet he specially applied for to deal with this Dreamweaver-type ability user.

Clamping on the wheel, Lu Xin slowly raised the gun.

"Haha..."

But at this moment, more laughter rang out.

Lu Xin saw another pale hand stretching out from the wall next to it, and then a person "grew" out of it.

It was exactly the same as the one that had grown out before, with disheveled hair and a white dress.

Then, on the TV, on the ceiling, on the glass partition of the bathroom, and even on the bedside, white shadows "grew" out one by one, like mushrooms sprouting their heads. They grew all over the room, and laughed at the same time.

That kind of laughter was intertwined and chaotic, impacting Lu Xin's mind from all directions.

There is only one special bullet, and Lu Xin doesn't know which one of them to shoot this bullet at.

But their laughter continued, interweaving throughout the room.

In the middle of this laughter, Lu Xin suddenly saw scenes appearing in his mind that he didn't know whether they were real or fake.

These images flickered, occupying all the space in his mind from time to time.

Some are like a window, some are like a light, and some are like a long corridor with no end.

It was like fragments of countless worlds that kept appearing in his mind and occupying his field of vision.

"Subconsciously dreaming?"

Lu Xin thought of the introduction in the information.

Subconscious dreaming is already a relatively powerful performance of Dreamweaver-type ability users, although it also falls into the category of forced dreaming.

But he stimulates the opponent's subconscious and allows the opponent to create a dream on his own.

This kind of dream is the most difficult to break.

And it often contains the deepest past of the opponent, the deepest secret, and it is also the easiest thing for the opponent to collapse...

... Before Lu Xin, it was said that this was how Special Purity Department tested whether people with abilities could be recruited.

By directly looking into Mental Mutant's subconscious, you can understand the risk of him losing control.

"Here is..."

When those pictures that did not seem to belong to him appeared in the back of his mind, Lu Xin was a little confused.

At this time, his personal consciousness was still very strong and he still had a chance to break free.

However, those pictures attracted him inexplicably.

When he saw those pictures, his heart beat faster, and he even felt inexplicably excited, and a desire emerged in his heart.

Therefore, instead of resisting the appearance of these images, he subconsciously wanted to chase them.

In this case, the remaining shadow of the Dreamweaver-type ability user suddenly felt a strange smoothness. Originally, entering the subconscious dream was the most difficult thing to do, because when breaking through the subconscious, the affected person would subconsciously resist.

But now, he felt the unusual cooperation of Lu Xin, and it was successfully constructed at an unimaginable speed.

"Buzz..."

In Lu Xin's field of vision, the pictures became more and more real and bigger, and the fragments were spliced together. Finally, suddenly all the fragments were combined together, and the brain was slightly dizzy, and then he saw a completely different world.

Lu Xin opened his eyes suddenly as if he had just woken up.

Then he saw that he was in a strange place, which was a corridor.

The corridor is about two meters high and one meter wide. It seems a bit cramped. Above the head, there is a white light with a hidden light source, illuminating the corridor. There are some strange instruments and various surgical equipment scattered on the surrounding ground.

The walls are white tiles, without any pattern or color.

The entire corridor looked strangely pale.

"Ding ding ding..."

Deep in the corridor, the sound of hammer striking iron drill could be heard.

"Zizzizi..."

It was a vague electric shock.

"Chichichi..."

It was like the sound of a sharp knife cutting flesh.

There are also faint, feeble moans and screams that seem to exist in a very distant place...
