When No. 2 was describing these things, his voice had no ups and downs.

He seemed to have been accustomed to everything for a long time, and he no longer felt passionate or impulsive about everything.

But as Lu Xin and Xia Chong listened, they gradually became frightened. Until certain words appeared, the panic reached its peak.

Xia Chong couldn't help shouting loudly, "The fifth step?"

"Are you already at the Fantasy Nation level?"

"You can directly use your mental power to control the actions and thinking of everyone around you?"

"You, you can bring an entire city directly into this world?"

"How big is the city? Is it as big as Tinder?"

"Also, also, you said you can make the whole world look like what you want to see. What do you mean?"

"Can you change the properties of the real world... the real world?"

"..."

When Xia Chong was frightened, Lu Xin was also frightened and said, "It's really scary..."

Number 2 seemed to be caught off guard by so many questions from Xia Chong. After a while, he slowly said, "What you said is a bit complicated, and I don't know how to answer it. But I seem to be able to make people around me do what I say and think. If I want, I can also see their memories, and then let them erase or rewrite them casually."

"As for the city, I haven't tried it, and I haven't thought about where the limit is."

"But if I want, I should be able to pull the entire Kindling City into this world..."

"Rewrite the real world..."

"I don't quite understand what this means specifically, but before, that voice once asked me to do an experiment. If I look at a cup and tell others that it is an apple, then everyone will think that it is an apple..."

"After a while, I looked back and found that the apple was rotten..."

"..."

Number 2 answered these softly, but his face did not show the slightest excitement, but instead became a little dim.

He shook his head and whispered, "But actually, none of this is interesting."

"I can change a lot of things in reality, but all I want is to get out of here forever."

"But it's no use. Not only have I never seen the hope of leaving until now..."

"Even when I wake up, I feel like I'm still in this nightmare."

"They used many methods to help me dilute this feeling, such as using that kind of machine, and then found a lot of people to help me share this pain, but I am still very sad. What they don't know is that those people can't share it for me..."

"Sometimes they say that because I'm in reality, everything around me is distorted."

"Therefore, I must stay here as much time as possible..."

"..."

No. 2 frowned slightly as he told the story, and you could even see some painful expressions on his face.

Even Xia Chong's palms were trembling slightly.

Is this Versailles?

She didn't know if No. 2 was using this tone on purpose and saying such shocking words.

But Lu Xin raised his head at this moment and looked at No. 2 with a sympathetic expression on his face.

Many questions have been answered at this time.

"So, it was you who sealed the abyss before?"

"Including Hell Legion who was chasing me in Kindling City, and the dead people who appeared on the streets, are they all related to you?"

He sighed slightly and asked in a low voice.

When he and Xia Chong passed through the abyss and entered Kindling Building, they saw the flesh and blood covering the building. At that time, he felt familiar and felt like it belonged to his friend. It was not until he saw No. 2 that he understood.

Thinking about it, it's even unbelievable.

What kind of spiritual power can completely cover a building in the abyss?

In addition, Hell Legion can appear in reality Kindling City, is it also because the power of No. 2 affects reality?

Are the desperate things appearing on the streets also because No. 2 inadvertently changed reality?

Xia Chong's little face has become tense.

She hid behind her back, the palm of her hand holding the dagger trembling slightly.

She couldn't imagine how terrifying the power this single-soldier classmate in front of her possessed...

"Maybe, you can't say it's me..."

But No. 2, facing Lu Xin's doubts and Xia Chong's fear, shook his head slightly and said, "I can indeed do this."

"But I haven't done it..."

"When I'm awake, I mostly just stay in that space and don't think about anything."

"I..."

He paused for a while and whispered, "I don't even like the real world anymore, because I used to only come to this world when I was sleeping, but now, I feel that when I wake up, this world has passed with me..."

"If not you, then who?"

Xia Chong asked anxiously, "Isn't this all your ability?"

"For me, there's no ability."

No. 2 replied in a low voice, "I just feel that reality is becoming more and more consistent with what I was in the nightmare. That voice helped me at this time. He said that he could go through a ritual to help me alleviate this feeling. I tried it several times and it did alleviate it. And I can feel that he took something from me, but I have forgotten what he took."

"Exchange and transfer of abilities?"

Xia Chong was the first to react, and his little face suddenly tightened. "This is similar to a contract. Based on the consent of both parties, a certain degree of spiritual power deprivation and transfer is carried out. That is... that is treating you as a contracted creature..."

"How much ability did he... take away from you?"

"..."

Facing Xia Chong's questioning, No. 2 slowly shook his head. "I don't remember."

"You..."

Xia Chong was speechless for a moment.

"He lied to you and brought many people in, so the boundary between your nightmare and reality becomes increasingly blurred."

Lu Xin's face turned ugly when he heard this. He was very angry and couldn't help but look at No. 2 and said, "Then when your boundaries were so blurred that you even started to hate the real world, he said he could help you relieve the burden of the real world and took away your abilities. What's the difference between this and lying to you to learn to smoke, and then asking you to spend money to buy his cigarettes when you develop a habit of smoking and can't quit?"

"Don't you realize you've been deceived?"

"..."

"This, maybe it's really wrong..."

Number 2 was silent for a while and said in confusion, "But after all, he is the only person in this world who can talk to me more."

Lu Xin didn't ask any more questions.

Just looking at No. 2's appearance, I suddenly felt a little sad.

Now that things have reached this point, he and Xia Chong have actually understood a lot.

Number Two is a medium.

Someone made a sacrifice to God's Nightmare through him, and then took away something from it.

However, if they can take something away by offering sacrifices to the Nightmare God, then what kind of things are they preparing to take away from God's Nightmare for the 100 million spiritual bodies that they overheard through professional infiltration?

In other words, something is changed forever?

"I think the investigation of hell is close to the core. It can even be said that the investigation is clear..."

At this moment, Xia Chong couldn't help but speak in a low voice, "Whether the people behind this are Tinder, Hell Designer, or something else, their method is to take away something from God's Nightmare through sacrifice. If some things in this nightmare can be completely copied by them in reality, then we can imagine how terrible the consequences will be..."

As she said that, she suddenly looked up at Lu Xin and said, "We have to stop it."

"Okay."

Lu Xin agreed immediately, then turned to look at No. 2: "Then, take us out?"

"?"

Number 2 was startled for a moment, then silently raised his head and looked at Lu Xin.

Lu Xin was also a little surprised. "What's wrong?"

After a long time, No. 2 said apologetically, "I don't know how to get out..."

"Even I will come here involuntarily when I'm sleeping. I can't go back until I wake up."

"I can bring other people in, but, I've never taken anyone out."

"..."

"What the hell?"

Lu Xin was surprised. "You can't get out?"

"Yes."

Number 2 answered calmly, "Many people have begged me to take them out before. I also want to help them, but I can't..."

Lu Xin was suddenly confused.

Xia Chong was also a little confused. "Only now do you know that God's Nightmare can't get out?"

The three of them were silent for a long time. Things seemed to have fallen into a situation that was already like this, but they didn't discover the problem until now. If this God's Nightmare can really only come in but cannot go out, will they all be trapped here forever? Outside, Tinder is preparing for something terrible, but they can only stay here and watch?

"Perhaps, there is only one way..."

In this silence, No. 2 suddenly spoke and said to Lu Xin.

Lu Xin and Xia Chong were suddenly excited and looked up at No. 2 expectantly.

"Kill me."

Number 2 said slowly, "Maybe if you kill me, you can get out."

He said, there was even a lot of expectation in his eyes. "No. 9, you have always been different from others. When others killed me, I would come here, and then when I woke up, I would appear in the real world again. Only you. After you killed me that time, I did not appear again for a long time until the dean saved me. So, it is possible that you can really kill me..."

"You kill me and I'll be free of this nightmare."

"Kill me and everything will disappear..."

"So, is killing me the best solution?"

After thinking about it, I decided to update it, although I have almost no manuscripts saved recently...
