"Master, what do you think we should do about this?"
Lin Xi said: "The safest way is to let your son wake up on his own."
Nightmares are different from other tangible monsters. They are not easy to capture, and they survive by sucking the souls of others. If they are destroyed directly, they may hurt the souls in the dreams that they have imprisoned.
Therefore, the best way is to let the victim wake up on his own and then stay away from the nightmare.
The method sounds simple, but it is not as easy to implement as you think.
It all depends on that person's willpower.
Feng Chengying looked desperate after hearing this.
From what she knew about her son, he was not a man of strong will.
What's more, the reason he ended up in this situation was entirely because of his weak willpower and the temptation of illusions and falsehoods.
If he really had the ability to resist "temptation", these things would not have happened.
But in order to keep his son safe and sound and fully awake, Feng Chengying decided to give it a try.
She followed Lin Xi's instructions and tried every possible way to wake her son from his dream.
After Li Yi finally woke up, Feng Chengying handed the bead to him without saying a word, and then said.
"Li Yi! Wake up! What are you talking about, living in a mansion and eating delicacies from land and sea? It's all fake, it's all an illusion created by this bead!"
"It is to weave beautiful dreams for you, so that you can stay in the dream forever and never get out!"
But Li Yi didn't listen to what she said at all. When he saw Feng Chengying pick up the bead, the only thing in his eyes was the bead.
He hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing! Put down my lucky beads!"
"Good Luck Bead? This is a Bad Luck Bead, this is a Deception Bead!"
Feng Chengying cried and cursed, "It's here to harm you! Why don't you believe it? My son, please wake up. Our family is not rich, nor is it a wealthy family. Your father, your grandfather, and your ancestors have all been farmers. They have been farming their entire lives!"
"We've never lived in a mansion. We've rented this house for over ten years!"
Li Yi still didn't believe it.
"Could you please stop talking nonsense like that? It's really annoying. Can't you use this time to make money? It would take a lot of money to take over the family fortune!"
Feng Chengying was almost going crazy.
She found that no matter what she said, her son did not believe her, and all he could think about was what he saw in his dream.
Feng Chengying looked at Lin Xi with a pleading look on her face, begging her to help.
Lin Xi sighed upon seeing this, and then said, "Let me try, but he might have to suffer a little."
Feng Chengying immediately said, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! It doesn't matter if he suffers a little, as long as he can wake up!"
Lin Xi nodded and said nothing more.
She quickly walked up to Li Yi, who was looking puzzled, stretched out her finger and tapped his forehead quickly, muttering a spell.
Soon, Li Yi's eyes lost focus again and fell into a state that seemed to be neither dream nor silence.
Then, his calm expression became filled with pain and ferocity, as if he was unwilling to accept something, and he began to shout.
"No, it's impossible, it's not like that..."
Seeing his son's appearance, Feng Chengying suppressed his surprise and asked Lin Xi in a low voice.
"Master, what happened to him?"
Lin Xi explained: "I just let his real past experiences resurface in his mind, so that he can recall fragments of his previous life."
But these images must be different from the illusions under his nightmare control, or even the exact opposite.
Therefore, these two images were intertwined and pulled in his mind, which made him feel painful.
As for whether he could finally wake up completely, Lin Xi couldn't guarantee it.
During this period, Lin Xi also asked Feng Chengying to keep talking in his ear, telling him some of Li Yi's past experiences, preferably those that left a deep impression on him and were of great significance to him.
Feng Chengying didn't dare to delay and began to recall every detail of her son's life while crying.
"Xiaoyi, do you remember when you first went to elementary school? It happened to be your first birthday on the lunar calendar. You said you had never eaten cake, so your dad and I bought you a cake in advance while you were at school. When you got home from school, you saw the cake and you jumped for joy. You said you would make money in the future to buy your dad and me a big cake so we could live in a big house..."
"And when you were in junior high, you kept asking for a pair of brand-name sneakers. But your dad and I weren't doing well at work, so we couldn't bear to spend so much money on you. So you secretly took our money to buy the shoes. When you finally bought them, we found out and you wanted to return them, but you finally cried and begged us, and your dad and I agreed to let you keep the shoes."
"That pair of shoes cost your father and me half a month's salary, and you even wrote a letter of guarantee to us, saying you would never steal money again..."
"Your father and I both know you're a good kid. It's just that we don't have the ability or the money to let you wear such expensive shoes."
As Feng Chengying spoke, that scene gradually emerged in Li Yi's mind.
It was unknown how long it had passed, but Li Yi's expression finally returned to calm.
His vision became clear, and when he looked at Feng Chengying again, his gaze fell on her face and hands.
The corners of Li Yi's mouth moved, forming a smile.
But the next second, that smile turned into tears.
He suddenly raised his hands to cover his face and shouted in despair.
"Why did you make me wake up? Why!"
Why should he be reminded of all this again?
I thought of the poverty at home, the hard work of my mother, his helplessness, and how he had been looking for a job for half a month but had hit a wall everywhere!
Whenever he thought of this, he felt as if his throat was being pinched by a hand, and even breathing became difficult.
Since the time he was looking for a job, no, maybe even earlier, since he failed to get into a good university, he had despaired about his future.
He didn't know what to do in the future given his current situation.
He was very anxious, but the more anxious he became, the less willing he was to correct and improve himself. He started playing games and became addicted to the Internet.
After four years of muddled college life ended, he realized he had finally lost his shelter and could no longer comfortably enjoy the living expenses his parents gave him.
But it was so difficult to find a job. He tried his best but still couldn't find one.
Just when he was full of despair, he picked up the small stone.
When the small stone rolled to his feet, Li Yi thought it was a valuable piece of jade.
Unfortunately, after a closer look, I realized that it was just a piece of stone.
He had originally planned to throw it away, but as soon as he picked it up, he suddenly felt a very comfortable feeling coming from it.
He took the stone and got on the bus. He accidentally fell asleep on the bus and had a dream on a bus for the first time since then.
He dreamed that he made a lot of money on the first day, and made tens of millions overnight!
When he woke up, everything in his dream was very clear, and he even remembered every operation.
Li Yi had read many novels and immediately realized that this stone was probably not ordinary. It might be a stone with predictive ability!
He was ecstatic and felt that he had found a treasure, so that night his parents told his mother that he had found good luck.
Later, as he spent more and more time with the stone, more images related to him appeared in his mind.
Those pictures were almost all of him living a luxurious life and having a good family background.
But after waking up and looking at the shabby and poor house, he was confused at first, but soon, a voice in his mind automatically explained everything to him.
It turned out that his family went bankrupt, which is why this situation occurred.
