"good."

After looking up at the sun in the sky, the old investigator nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and said with a smile:
“Although the majority of the enhancements are due to the Fallen Soul Black Abyss, it’s still good enough to have achieved this… How many people are there in this dream?”

"About... 300,000 people?"

After checking the black fluorescence in the glass lantern, the female reporter wearing a wide-brimmed soft hat replied:

"Tonight, many people had dreams, but not many people were involved in the capital. Most people's dreams did not take place in the capital, so the Dream Lantern only combined the dreams of these 300,000 people... Do we need to start over again?"

"No, this is enough."

After hearing what the female reporter said, the old investigator chuckled confidently, then withdrew his gaze from the sun and began to look down at the Dream Capital in front of him.

In this fake city made up of the dreams of 300,000 people, most of the streets and alleys still retain their original appearance and have not undergone major changes.

The tree-lined belts surrounding the wealthy area are still green, the sewage river that runs through the old city is still smelly and dirty, and the industrial parks along the riverside are still emitting billowing white smoke full of acid, just like the reality during the day.

Although the dream world does not have to stick to reality, the owners of the 300,000 dreams that make up the dream world all come from reality. The capital in front of them, which is not much different from reality, is the common understanding of all of them about the capital...

Except for one place.

……

"What's going on over there?"

Looking at the strange building in the center of the capital that was constantly twisting and changing, but whose shape could never be completely confirmed, the old investigator couldn't help but frown and asked with some dissatisfaction:

"Why hasn't the palace been fixed yet? Haven't these 300,000 people reached a consensus on what the palace should be?"

"let me see……"

After watching the palace's appearance constantly twisting and changing, sometimes old and decayed and shaky, looking as if it would collapse if blown; sometimes resplendent and splendid, looking noble, magnificent and supreme, the female reporter carefully examined the glass lantern in her hand, then frowned and shook her head and said:

"There is no problem with the Dream Lantern. It has not been affected or invaded. It is probably because among the 300,000 people who dreamed of the royal capital, some people had a different impression of the palace than others, and their perception was particularly strong, which resulted in the palace's appearance being unable to be determined."

"Clean it up quickly!"

After listening to the female reporter's explanation, the old investigator stood up without hesitation and walked to the edge of the clock tower, pointing to the location of the palace and said:

“Check the dream about the palace, find out the people whose impression of the palace is too different from others, kick them out of the dream, and don’t let them affect the situation of the palace in the dream.

When the Fallen Soul Black Abyss completely descends, I will exchange the capital of the dream world with the capital of reality. If the two sides are too different, the exchange will be very troublesome, so there must be no mistakes in this part!"

"understood."

After responding silently, the lantern in the female reporter's hand flickered twice, and a large number of dark fluorescent dots lit up in the glass lampshade, and then quickly went out.

As a large number of stars were eliminated, the palace in the distance that had been twisting and changing constantly finally became a little more stable and had a relatively fixed appearance.

Unfortunately, before the old investigator could nod his head in satisfaction, the palace, which had just been stabilized for a short time, began to twist again. Moreover, this time, in addition to repeatedly switching between ruin and glory, a third situation even occurred. Most of the buildings were artificially flattened and turned into a lush green landscape garden.

"Some people just dreamed of the royal capital and joined this dream."

This time, without waiting for the old investigator to ask, the female reporter directly checked the [Dream Lantern] and then explained:

"There are mainly two people who have a different impression of the palace from everyone else. The capital in their dreams is very different from everyone else's perception of the capital, and their situations are rather special. I can't drive them away."

Two people who can't be driven away?

The old investigator frowned and said:
"What did they both dream about? Take me to their dreams."

"Ok."

After glancing at the old investigator's back, the female reporter nodded slightly, then tightly grasped the handle of the [Dream Lantern] and shook the lantern in her hand again.

Then, the capital city in front of him trembled slightly, and then changed its appearance in an instant, from a prosperous city full of vitality to a decadent scene after being ravaged by war.

The once bustling streets of the business district are now covered with rubble and debris, the buildings on the streets have collapsed into piles of dilapidated wreckage, and the high-rise buildings have turned into piles of worthless bricks and stones.

The air of the entire royal capital was filled with the smell of dust and scorched earth. The remaining walls of the buildings still bore traces of having been blasted by artillery fire, and were almost completely destroyed by the war.

Even the bell tower under their feet had been blown down in half, and even the huge bell face behind the female reporter, which was more than two people tall, was embedded with a huge shell that had not yet exploded...

"This must be Prince Joshua's dream."

After looking at the palace, which was not completely destroyed but was badly damaged by the war and seemed to be about to collapse at any time, the old investigator pondered for a while and made a very firm judgment:

“This is the curse of the Nightmare King. Members of this country’s royal family will constantly relive the greatest regrets of their lives in their dreams. And Nathan… well… he is the future Joshua, so his nightmares are also synchronized.

Besides, I know why you can’t get rid of him.”

Turning his head to look at the lantern in the female reporter's hand, and looking at the dark dots in the lampshade, the old investigator said helplessly:

"The power of [Dream Street Lights] is strengthened by the Fallen Soul Black Abyss, which is equivalent to stealing the power of the Fallen Soul Black Abyss in disguise.

As the true master of the Fallen Soul Abyss, the Nightmare King personally places a very high priority on the curses placed on the royal family members. It is normal for this to have an impact on the [Dream Street Lights] that you control.

We can't handle his problem now, but it's not a big deal. When the day comes when the Fallen Soul Abyss really comes, I can find a way to prevent him from falling asleep...

Come on, take me to the dream of another person you can’t drive away, and let me see what his dream is like.”

The female reporter hummed when she heard this, found the star in the lantern that was glowing with a faint red light, moved it to the center of the lampshade, and then shook the lantern in her hand vigorously.

The world is spinning.

As if an ancient mural was painted with colors, the dark and dilapidated capital city in front of the two people instantly faded away the dimness and blackness brought by the war and suddenly became bright.
