Chapter 16 Why the Villain Steals the Female Lead's Role

Luo Binghe was stunned: "My..." He took a step back, looked at the boundless and bleak world, and murmured: "My dream, is it... like this?"

The environment is created by the mind. Even at such a young age, he understands all these feelings.

Shen Qingqiu said dryly: "This is not an ordinary dream. I'm afraid someone has tampered with you without you knowing it. The spiritual power in the dream fluctuates strongly and erratically. I was accidentally pulled into it by you."

Luo Binghe said with a sullen look on his face: "My disciple is useless and has brought trouble to my master." He then concentrated and thought carefully: "Who on earth would tamper with my dream?"

Shen Qingqiu fully experienced the fun of being a spoiler party and directly revealed the mystery: "Don't think about it. There is demonic energy surging at the edge of this dream, and the means are so inferior, it is undoubtedly someone from the demon clan."

Luo Binghe was not surprised when he heard this, but his hatred towards the demons was aroused again. He said, "The demons in the demon world are indeed vicious."

I really don't know what expression Luo Binghe will have when he finds out that he is a half-demon and thinks of what he said...

Shen Qingqiu smiled and said, "Not necessarily vicious, maybe he has the opposite idea."

From Shen Qingqiu's perspective, the person he was referring to was Sha Hualing, the one who tampered with Luo Binghe's dream.

Of course there is the intention to harm others, but as we all know, the bigger component is naturally the secret affection of the woman.

Otherwise, why not harm others, but only him? For the demon clan witch, those she likes must be bullied ruthlessly╮(￣▽￣”)╭But this is only in the early stage. When she is taken into Luo Binghe’s harem, she will just be obedient.

Luo Binghe didn't understand what he meant by this sentence, but he smiled meaningfully, and the end of the sentence was floating up, which was a bit frivolous, but also made people feel distracted.

"This dream is not simple. The usual nightmare technique cannot trap me, and I can break it with just a thought. But this dream is really exquisitely made. I'm afraid that if the core of the illusion is destroyed, no one can get out."

"So, I will be trapped in the dream forever?" Luo Binghe said apologetically, "It's all my fault."

Shen Qingqiu said: "It is useless to say more now. We should act as soon as possible and break the barrier and get out."

Luo Binghe nodded silently, followed Shen Qingqiu, and walked towards the edge of the dream.

Shen Qingqiu looked calm on the surface, but his mind was in turmoil as he kept communicating with the system.

System: [System prompt: You are now entering an important plot branch: Nightmare's Boundary. Please ensure that you assist Luo Binghe in defeating the Nightmare's illusion in this branch. Otherwise, 1000 points will be deducted.]

Here it comes again. Deducting the fun points again, and every time it's the kind of number that makes people want to have a heart attack. I have worked hard for so long and can't earn a few points of fun points, and you deduct 1,000 points at a time. Is this really okay? ! Don't be too extreme as a person... no, as a system!

But that's not the point. The point is that the plot is messed up.

The original premise of this section is that Luo Binghe was pulled into the attack range of the Nightmare. In order to protect himself before the crisis, he instinctively pulled the person he trusted most into the barrier together.

Shen Qingqiu urgently tapped the system: "Big brother, big brother, big brother! Are you sure there is no bug? In this part, Luo Binghe is trying to pick up girls. And the girls are responsible for helping him to untie his knot and defeat his inner demons with love, why am I taking over this role now?! Where is the love and affection and spiritual integration of the harem? Where is the little sister who will never leave and will depend on each other through life and death?!"

System: [Self-detection found no bugs. The system is running normally.]

There is no bug, which means that in this plot, you either live well or die.

Shen Qingqiu realized the power of the Butterfly Effect for the first time.

In the original work, the person who was dragged into the nightmare by Luo Binghe was Ning Yingying. As the person closest and most trusted by Luo Binghe on Qingjing Peak in the early stage, the task of breaking through the levels and increasing the intimacy density should obviously fall on her.

What's happening now?

How come the titles of “most trusted” and “closest person” were inexplicably put on Shen Qingqiu’s head?

Shen Qingqiu said he was flattered but didn't want to wear the hat at all!

Seeing Shen Qingqiu's unpredictable expression, Luo Binghe asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong?"

Shen Qingqiu immediately came back to his senses and calmed down, "Nothing. I was thinking that the monsters that manipulate dreams usually attack the most vulnerable parts of people's hearts, so you must be prepared."

Luo Binghe nodded and said firmly: "Disciple will never let Master be implicated again."

It was too hard. Not only was he involved in a dangerous plot, but if he guessed correctly, he would also have to take on the responsibility of the girl's role.

Shen Qingqiu doesn't want to help the protagonist block the knife or follow him through the mountains of swords and seas of fire to face the terrifying inner demons and dream demons qaq!

What kind of luck can make it to this point...

He just complained about the gods of this world. Think about it, gods are also innocent. Didn't they create this world just to shoot airplanes into the sky? As a stud writer with a good pedigree, he certainly wouldn't want such a situation to appear in his articles. A good girl was replaced by a scumbag villain. How sad.

The two walked forward for a while, the clouds above their heads and the scenery around them were like a kaleidoscope, sometimes stretched and twisted, sometimes broken into thousands of pieces, changing unpredictably. They walked in this world, as if the people were painted by Leonardo da Vinci and the background was painted by Picasso. The styles were different and the sense of dissonance was extremely strong.

Suddenly, a city appeared in the dark clouds ahead.

The two of them stopped, Luo Binghe looked at Shen Qingqiu, waiting for his signal.

Shen Qingqiu pondered and said, "If the enemy comes, we will stop them; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. Go in."

Arriving at the city gate, Luo Binghe looked up with a slightly confused expression.

Shen Qingqiu knew it very well. He felt that this city looked very familiar.

Of course it was familiar, this was the city where Luo Binghe wandered in his childhood.

Naturally, there were no soldiers guarding the city gate, so he slowly opened it and Shen Qingqiu led him in.

This dream was so real that it was frightening. When it was abstract, it was as abstract as a few blocks of color, and when it was realistic, it was exactly the same as reality. The city's roads, markets, houses, and stalls were all exquisitely designed. The lights were bright, and people were coming and going. From a distance, it seemed bustling, but when you get closer, even though Shen Qingqiu was prepared, he was still startled.

All the "people" in these activities have no faces.

Their faces were just a blurry mass, with no clear features, and no sound. They didn't look like living people at all, yet they were still busily moving around. The whole city was as quiet as death, presenting a strange prosperity.

Luo Binghe had never seen such a sight before, and asked in shock: "Master, what are these?"

Shen Qingqiu was a little scared, but he still took on the responsibility of explaining the encyclopedia.

"This is a fantasy city created using nightmares. In a dream, inanimate objects like houses and trees can be created, but living people cannot be created. The most that can be created is a noseless, faceless, speechless monster like this. However, I'm afraid that only that person can create a city of that size in a short time, and it's so realistic that it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing."

Luo Binghe humbly asked, "Which person?"

Shen Qingqiu: "Dream demon."

The Nightmare is the boss in this dream dungeon.

The true identity of the Dream Demon is a well-known senior of the demon race. His physical body was destroyed in a natural disaster several hundred years ago, but his powerful soul remained intact. Since then, he has been parasitic in the dreams of others, surviving by absorbing spiritual power and essence.

At the same time, he is also one of the protagonist's actual masters.

It was him. After Luo Binghe broke the barrier, he and the protagonist hit it off right away in a clichéd way. He taught him all his unique skills and occasionally gave him some plans and strategies or offered a hand.

Luo Binghe was not well-educated, so of course he didn't understand this person's origins. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but when he glanced at the crowd inadvertently, he was stunned.

Shen Qingqiu asked knowingly: "What's wrong?"

Luo Binghe said: "Master, I don't know if I saw it wrong. Just now, I seemed to see someone with a face in the crowd."

Shen Qingqiu waved his sleeves, walked in the direction he pointed, and said simply: "Chase."

The two of them followed the few people whose style was out of tune with the others, and walked around the city for 78,000 miles before finally stopping in front of an alley.

There were five people with faces. Each one was clear, not a blurry mass. They looked like five teenagers. Four of them were tall and surrounded the one on the ground. They kept shouting and cursing. Words like "little bastard" and "son of a bitch" were flying everywhere. They didn't notice the two people following behind them.

Luo Binghe said: "It seems that they can't see us."

He looked at Shen Qingqiu, as if asking, didn't it say that the Nightmare Demon couldn't create a person with five senses?

It's time to start the abuse again.

Shen Qingqiu sighed in his heart and said, "It is true that the Dream Demon cannot use nightmares to create people, but this person was not created by him. Luo Binghe, take a close look at these people."

Luo Binghe slowly shifted his gaze towards them, looked at them for a while, and suddenly his body was shocked.

Shen Qingqiu said: "These are not illusions created by the nightmare, they are projections of real people that exist in your memory. The nightmare just used a little trick to awaken these shadows sleeping in your heart."

Luo Binghe seemed to no longer be able to hear what he said. He raised his hand to cover his temple, and it seemed that his brain was twitching.

Shen Qingqiu knew that Luo Binghe's inner demon had already attacked.

The four ruffian boys surrounded a child who looked only four or five years old and beat him up. The ragged child held his head with his hands, curled up on the ground, and took the beating without making a sound. It was really worrying that such a young child would be beaten to death by them!

"Hey, this blind little bastard dares to come to our turf and steal our jobs!"

"It's so stinky!"

"Crush him to death. Isn't he pitiful? Isn't he hungry? Beat him to death and he won't have to worry about food!"

Luo Binghe seemed to have a splitting headache, as if he could only see the frail little figure on the ground. That was the younger him from a year ago. From his disheveled hair and bloodstained face, a pair of eyes as bright as stars appeared, shooting out like two sharp swords, staring into his eyes.

Luo Binghe couldn't take his eyes off her.

Shen Qingqiu said in a deep voice: "Binghe, this is just an illusion."
