Chapter 196 Dream
Xuan Gou Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Feng Tianning to give such an answer.
"You mean he was lying to us?"
"What's his purpose?"
Feng Tianning shook her head. She couldn't figure out what General Chen wanted to do. All she could do now was wait and see.
"But Tianning, how did you know General Chen was lying?"
"Yes, Grandma, what he said is basically the same as the information given to us by the Emperor of Beimang. His attitude is also very good. It doesn't seem like he is lying."
Feng Tianning thought for a moment and expressed his guess:
"We are no longer in the original Fangcun realm."
"I should be in a fantasy world now, or... a dream."
"Dream?" Xuan Gou Chen exclaimed.
"Whose dream?"
Feng Tianning's gaze fell on the sky outside which had suddenly turned dark:
"General Chen's dream."
Feng Tianning became suspicious from the moment she couldn't see the small words on those people's heads.
She had read in an ancient book that if a person's obsession after death was strong, it could create a dream.
Everything in the dream developed according to his imagination, and he could also pull others into the dream.
Over time, ordinary people who are pulled into dreams will gradually be assimilated, believing that they are living in a dream and becoming puppets like zombies.
"Are you saying we were pulled into the dream as well?"
Feng Tianning nodded. There is no right or wrong in dreams. The master of everything is just the master of dreams.
That's why the people were so angry when they humiliated General Chen at the city gate just now.
When they first met the waiter, they couldn't see General Chen. They could only see him after passing through the door.
From that time on, the three of them had been "assimilated".
"Will we lose ourselves here too?" Qin Guan asked curiously.
At least from just now until now, he hasn't felt anything wrong with his body.
Feng Tianning nodded and said, "The situation of cultivators will be better than that of ordinary people, and they will assimilate more slowly."
"But if we stay here for a long time, I'm afraid we'll become like them."
Dreams are aimed at souls. In other words, at this moment only their souls have entered General Chen's dream, while their bodies remain outside.
Qin Guan and Xuan Gou Chen's expressions became a little serious. If this was true, then it would be troublesome.
Their bodies should still be in Xuancheng at this moment. If they are discovered by someone with ulterior motives...
Qin Guan shuddered, not daring to think about how serious the consequences would be.
"Tianning, from what you just said... is General Chen already dead?"
Seeing Feng Tianning nod, Xuan Gou Chen said doubtfully:
"Then why did the Emperor of Beimang say he was an undercover agent?"
"Is Beimang really so isolated from the outside world that they don't even know about General Chen's death?"
"unless……"
Xuan Gou Chen didn't finish his words, unless the Emperor of Beimang knew about this and deliberately sent them to die.
"Tianning, what should we do now?"
"How do I break this dream? Do I have to kill General Chen?"
Feng Tianning shook his head, his expression somewhat solemn.
She originally wanted to kill General Chen directly, but if she did that, the entire dream would collapse. Then not only the innocent people who were dragged in, but also they would probably be trapped here forever.
"We can't stay here forever, can we?" Qin Guan's face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd.
Feng Tianning pondered for a moment and said, "There is a way."
The dream is shaped by General Chen's obsession. If you figure out what his obsession is and help him resolve it, the dream will disappear.
"Does General Chen know that this is his dream?"
Feng Tianning thought for a moment and nodded:
"Logically speaking, only the dreamer can create a dream, and this person must have accumulated virtue and done good deeds in his lifetime, and ultimately died in vain."
"Only in this way can his obsession be strong enough to support such a huge dream operation."
Feng Tianning was also a little curious about what had happened to General Chen that could force a general like him who "loved the people like his own children" to become like this.
Qin Guan and Xuan Gou Chen nodded, smiled helplessly and said:
"Who still remembers that we were agents specializing in catching evil spirits? Now we're almost becoming masters of Machiavellianism."
Qin Guan nodded in agreement: "Yes, I am about to become a master of mediation now, so I might as well go find a few evil spirits to kill for fun."
Feng Tianning was also a little helpless. It was always like this. She didn't know when she would be able to accumulate enough merit.
"Let's go and see General Chen."
Feng Tianning cast an invisibility spell, and the three of them swaggered back to the study they had just left.
General Chen turned his back to the crowd and kept drawing and putting back the sword hanging on the wall.
As if he heard something, he said lightly:
"You're here."
Feng Tianning and the other two looked at each other. Could it be that he could see through the invisibility spell and see them?
But she quickly rejected the idea.
Feng Tianning's invisibility spell is a magical technique after all. It is different from those ordinary spells. How could it be so easy to be detected?
They didn't say anything, just stood there quietly, waiting for General Chen's move.
"General." Two figures suddenly appeared behind them. General Chen turned around and his eyes fell on the two people who were talking.
"General, we have already completed what you instructed us to do."
Feng Tianning looked at the two people with some curiosity, one man and one woman, both dressed in night clothes, and carrying a half-person-high sword on their backs.
General Chen nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Don't go out these days. I will send you away soon. From now on, don't set foot in Beimang or come to Xuancheng."
The two nodded and said respectfully:
"Yes, sir."
"We will definitely stay away from here."
After that, they looked at each other and left the study.
General Chen stared intently at their departing backs, his eyes filled with unclear emotions.
"Bang—"
The sword in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and soon, several masked men appeared in front of General Chen.
"Kill." He spat out the word coldly without blinking.
The masked men did not say anything and disappeared silently in the study the next moment.
General Chen bent down to pick up the sword, carefully put it back in its place, and then walked out.
"Tianning, what's going on?"
Xuan Gou Chen now completely believed what Feng Tianning had just said, that General Chen never spoke a word of truth. He had been acting like a loyal minister when they were still together, but in the blink of an eye, he took the lives of two people with just one sentence.
He is so cruel.
"Let's follow and see." Feng Tianning said coldly, then took the lead and walked out.
