Chapter 7

The two siblings hid in the wardrobe, deeply suppressing their breaths

No. It was that girl who jumped off the rooftop two months later and died. On the rooftop terrace, there were bloodstains from her biting her finger, writing the words 'He is on the seventh floor.' Cao Jing calmly handed the cleaned lunchbox to his sister, feeling satisfied to see her face turn pale. "The reason I bring this up is that this afternoon I saw a person wearing a hat staring at our dormitory building. I thought it was strange to be dressed so warmly in this hot weather, even wearing gloves. I felt something was off when I came back, so I wanted to let you know." "The reason I bring this up is that this afternoon I saw a person wearing a hat staring at our dormitory building. I thought it was strange to be dressed so warmly in this hot weather, even wearing gloves. I felt something was off when I came back, so I wanted to let you know."

She said that when she was being intimate with her boyfriend, she saw the shadow of the murderer standing in the opposite hallway, looking in her direction. She also said that she saw that person smile at her. Since then, she insists on sleeping with the lights on at night. She has smashed all the hallway lights in her building, claiming that this way that person would not be able to find her

"What is it?" Cao Xueqing and others were idly chatting with him by the poolside.

I heard that there used to be a murderer here" said Cao Jing while calmly washing the dishes "It is said that he was not quite right in the head, having killed an entire apartment building of people. Later, it became too terrifying, so the government issued a gag order, and only rumors circulated.

Hold your breath ... he won't be able to discover it

There are two corpses of "parents" on the bed, and Cao Jing does not look at the bloody scene, quietly moving out of the bedroom with Cao Xueqing. The front door is open; if the murderer continues to go upstairs, then now is the best time to go downstairs

The taste of nightmares is bitter, akin to black coffee powder mixed with unripe lemon juice. Merely entering a nightmare, allowing the emotions of the dream's master to permeate oneself, causes Cao Jing in the dream to feel a throbbing pain in the back of his head

How did it go crazy?

Run

Is it fake

7. One's own "perspective" in a dream can also be altered through concentration, but most of the time, the default situation is to share the same perspective as the dream's owner, sharing his or her feelings and emotions, yet being unaware of his or her thoughts (even if there are thoughts in the dream, they are very superficial and lack logical coherence)

Cao Jing realized that something was amiss

After that, I spent some time hypothesizing about whose dream I actually saw when I was dreaming. Cao Jing said to Lei Xiaoyue, "The person who stole the money, I later confirmed their identity through careful observation, because I returned the money. However, the dreams of others often hold no special value or judgment method for me; I can only guess whose dream it was..." But the dreams of others often hold no special value or judgment method for me; I can only guess whose dream it was...

Uh, wait a minute!" Lei Xiaoyue suddenly shouted, "Wait a second, you just said you can change other people's dreams?! I almost let that slip by! You can change other people's dreams too?!"

The stronger the thoughts and the deeper the mind, the clearer the visions one can see in dreams

"Then who spread this news?" Cao Xueqing's face turned a bit pale

This technique, simply put, involves telling a self-made ghost story to the target before bedtime, and then after lying down, one begins to search for that unique nightmare that exists within the multiple dreams.

As you imagine

I invented a small technique to locate my own goals. Cao Jing decided to briefly explain some of his past experiences to Lei Xiaoyue, omitting the truly important parts, in order to broaden his perspective on future applications. I cannot accurately determine who the owner of the dream is, so during the day, I implant some conceptual guidance for the person I want to locate. Of course, I was really quite foolish back then

Unfortunately, the frequency of nightmares in the welfare institution is quite high. Every time Cao Jing enters, he must endure immense discomfort, as the emotions of the dream's master surge forth. Some dreams involve being abandoned by one's parents, or wandering the streets in solitude and misery, or even being confined in the welfare institution for a lifetime, unable to break free from invisible chains, ultimately dying there. These nightmares still possess a simple logic. Even being confined in the welfare institution for a lifetime, unable to break free from invisible chains, ultimately dying there.

Has the murderer been caught

Not at all

Cao Xueqing appeared to be on the verge of fainting

When one remains focused, one can stay within the same dream. If one's mind begins to wander, it becomes difficult to reconnect to that dream, and it is easy to enter another dream instead

Three. Dreams are fragments of many things seen during the day, which the brain randomly assembles into some bewildering and inverted events at night. There is no logic, nor is there a need for logic

The closer the physical distance, the clearer the things he can see in his dreams.

Cao Jing watched as his sister held him tightly, the two of them huddled in the wardrobe. In his dream, he could clearly feel the warmth of Cao Xueqing's body, as well as the muffled sounds of slaughter outside the wardrobe

Yes. I knew you would ask this. Cao Jing laughed heartily, then fell silent for a moment and shook his head, saying, "This is really dangerous, truly unsuitable. I once conducted many experiments on this ability, but... it made me feel very uncomfortable."

4. Through certain techniques, it is possible to alter the dreams of others (Danger!)

Remember to run to the rooftop, added Cao Jing.

Please provide a few examples. What experiments have you conducted?

Cao Xueqing whispered softly in Cao Jing's ear, "Xiao Jing, let us walk together..."

Indeed. In the welfare institution, Lao Jiang once raised a dog named Huang Pi. Sometimes, I would see it dreaming. Cao Jing said seriously, "The dreams of animals are different from those of humans. If you ask me how they are different, I can't really say at once; it's hard to describe in words, and you probably understand. Evolutionary abilities involve many sensations, including when you use your own strength; you can't articulate exactly what that feeling is like, but... you can tell at a glance that it's a very strange dream, completely different from human dreams."

"No. Dreaming is a capability possessed only by mammals with advanced cognitive abilities." Cao Jing indeed wishes he had a cigarette at hand, even though he does not smoke. "Abstract thinking. This is the foundation of dreaming; your mind possesses abstract thinking, allowing you to understand the difference between entities and concepts. Only such a mind can dream. Fragments... those fragments of memory will organize in your mind into bizarre events and characters."

Did you only awaken after being humiliated by others

6. If the person opposite suddenly awakens, I will also awaken simultaneously

You have probably infiltrated the dreams of many girls

We are behind us

After waking up in the morning, Cao Jing, while jogging in the library, noticed a row of sensitive plants by the playground. Out of curiosity, he lifted one to take a look and discovered a small black plastic bag containing a bundle of money.

A whole building? Isn't that an exaggeration?

Finally, after continuous "jumps", Cao Jing found it; it was a dream with a deep black texture, and the owner's mental strength was so powerful that it could construct the dream very clearly. Cao Jing immediately leaped into the dream and was astonished to discover that he had entered a body.

Cao Jing possesses an instinctive aversion to interpersonal contact, much like how a minor misunderstanding this time led to a small conflict between two groups, resulting in harm to his own family and a friend. As the catalyst of the incident, Cao Jing, while feeling a profound sense of guilt, has developed an almost fearful mentality towards the individuals involved. Every time he sees the silver hairpin on Cao Xueqing's head, he feels a sense of discomfort within himself.

After telling the story, Cao Xueqing appeared somewhat anxious throughout the entire day. In the evening, Cao Jing lay on the large communal bed, closed his eyes, and began to search for nightmares

Cao Jingxin immediately felt a chill run down his spine. He looked down at his feet and was instantly horrified. There were bloody footprints, only a single line leading into the room, with none leading out.

It is said that he stole the keychain from the security room, and then at midnight, he entered the residential building, starting from room 101, going in and directly stabbing to death the person sleeping in bed with a knife. Then he proceeded to room 102. In three seven-story buildings, with forty-two households, everyone was killed that night except for those who were not at home. He methodically went from the first floor to the seventh floor, from the first floor to the seventh floor, without any rush, entering each household with the efficiency of slaughtering pigs, and he changed knives several times.

I heard that the police came to ask for a statement later. There was a young girl in the opposite building who was on a date with her boyfriend in the hallway at midnight, and she noticed that the light in the opposite hallway would flicker on and off. Cao Jing was washing the dishes while subtly observing Cao Xueqing's expression. At first, it seemed nothing unusual, but later it became apparent that the light was turning on with a strange regularity, illuminating one floor at a time from the first to the seventh floor, every five minutes. It felt a bit off. It was only the next afternoon when the police came to ask questions that it became clear, and later that girl went completely mad.

Cao Jing felt as if he was almost suffocating. Finally, after the sound of the sticky rubber shoes had finished the slaughter, it departed.

At first, Cao Jing did not take it seriously, until he had another strange dream the following night

Cao Jing had completely forgotten all his skills in manipulating dreams, and fear had entirely taken over his body and mind. He grasped his sister's hand and ran with all his might. The staircase leading down had vanished, and the only way for the two of them was upward, upward, constantly fleeing upward under the heavy footsteps pursuing them from behind

The two individuals cautiously pushed open the wardrobe door, fearing that the murderer was standing behind it, waiting to strike them down with an axe as soon as they opened the door

In his childhood, Cao Jing was the most introverted among the "Four Talents of the Cao Family" (a nickname given by Lao Jiang, largely satirical, which later became widely used). He felt an extraordinary fear of communicating with others. Compared to the later version of Cao Jing, who meticulously studied communication techniques with adolescents, his childhood self took a considerable amount of time and effort just to speak with someone from the neighboring class

However, upon seeing Tsushima Ikue, this feeling of discomfort intensified. Cao Jing, who already had an unpleasant experience with interpersonal relationships, now found himself in an unprecedented low point. When he realized the abilities he currently possessed, he immediately decided to use his strength to mend the rift caused by this matter

"Did you not go to find the training center?" Lei Xiaoyue asked with a smile

More nightmares are like a thin gruel made from negative emotions, and these dreams act as a continuously spreading source of pollution, making it difficult for Cao Jing to break free. The trivial and empty negative feelings coalesce into a writhing swamp, using its tentacles to seize and devour Cao Jing's own energy. Initially, when entering the dream world, Cao Jing was still full of vigor, but gradually began to feel somewhat exhausted

"Do not speak so harshly." Cao Jing did not like smoking, but he felt that at this point in the story, as the storyteller, he should light a cigarette; otherwise, it always felt like something was missing. "However, according to the current theories and research on evolutionary awakening, intense emotional stimulation can indeed trigger awakening. At that time, I only felt that I had some strange dreams, and after waking up, I could not forget them no matter what."

I once heard a story. After dinner, Cao Jing told this story to Cao Xueqing. Since her right hand was still bandaged, at this moment, her sister could only eat with her left hand. Of course, the lunch box could not be washed, so Cao Jing naturally took on this task without any hesitation.

Do not be afraid. Xiao Jing, do not be afraid, I am here.

Is it very enjoyable

He dreamed that he stole money from the dormitory administrator and then hid the money under a pot of sensitive plant by the playground

It is too dangerous. Cao Jing murmured to himself, I really feel that my ability is somewhat dangerous. Suppose I could see what others dream about. Who would dare to sleep next to me? There would be no privacy even in dreams, which seems a bit terrifying.

Later, he analyzed his own personality and believed that his use of mental abilities was the best manifestation of his introverted character. After awakening his abilities, he attempted to use them to communicate with others, expressing his thoughts in dreams.

As the two of them were about to step out the door, the usually gentle and strong older sister suddenly burst into tears

There is a little-known fact that not many people are aware of. Cao Jing said that this knowledge generally piques people's interest, "Animals can also dream. Truly, I am not deceiving you."

At that time, the children in the welfare institution all slept in large dormitories. There was an old dormitory building, where the children were divided by gender and age, with each class sleeping in the same dormitory. Cao Jing slept with dozens of others, and every night his dreams were chaotic and unclear, making it difficult to extract useful information. However, he eventually summarized a few patterns:

Cao Jing now regrets why he created such a horrifying story. This story is his own fantasy, a thought that came to him during a boring late night, but when he truly finds himself in the situation, he feels that the murderer is too terrifying. Cao Xueqing's own fear is being transmitted through her skin; she is the master of the dream, and when she envisions this madman as a demon, it truly possesses a sense of despairing oppression.

"No comment," Cao Jing said with a light laugh, "You are free to use your imagination."

Do ants dream

The colors, scents, and textures of dreams are all different, and depending on the emotions of their owner, Cao Jing can perceive a wide variety of things. Although in the dream, he does not possess a physical sensory system as a player with a god's perspective, his spiritual experiences instinctively transform into a stream of information that his mind can process, manifesting as dream experiences that closely resemble the sensory experiences of the real world.
