Chapter 610 Are you sure your happiness is real happiness?
Jiang Luo felt a pang of pain in his heart when he heard Ah Ye's words. He felt deeply sorry for the young child who was enduring such heavy fear and pain.
He asked Ah Ye: "Can you tell uncle how old you are?"
Ah Ye replied: "Six years old."
Jiang Luo felt emotional. A kid as old as Aye must still be in elementary school in world line 0001, right?
He gently stroked Aye's hair and said softly, "Aye, you are the child of the Demon Lord, and your father is the bravest man in the world. He certainly doesn't want you to be troubled by these nightmares, nor does he want to see you too scared to sleep."
Ah Ye raised his head, tears glistening in his eyes: "But... that shadow is really scary. He said he would devour my power and offer me to the devil..."
Jiang Luo held Aye's little hand and said firmly: "Aye, you are already very brave. Those nightmares are just illusions, they can't hurt you. Besides, Brother Jiang Luo will always be by your side to protect you and not let anyone hurt you."
The fear in Ah Ye's eyes seemed to dissipate a little, and he asked hesitantly: "Really? Will Brother Jiang Luo really protect me?"
Jiang Luo smiled and nodded: "Of course. Not only Brother Jiang Luo, but also Uncle Huo Yancheng, Uncle Fan Wujiu, Uncle Gu Ying, and many others will protect you. Ah Ye, you have to believe that all of us will protect you."
Ah Ye seemed to be comforted by Jiang Luo's words. He nodded gently and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Jiang Luo."
Jiang Luo smiled and continued, "Aye, let's not rush to sleep. Why don't I chat with you? When you feel sleepy, we can try to rest."
Ah Ye nodded, with a small smile on his face: "Okay."
Although Aye said this, he was indeed frightened by the nightmare and still didn't dare to fall asleep.
Jiang Luo did not force him and stayed by his side the whole time, reviewing the list of names submitted by his subordinates and adding several outstanding candidates to the trial plan, while chatting with A Ye from time to time.
At this time, Gu Ying took the reclusive sorcerer away from Dayu Mountain and headed for the border between the Three Thousand Worlds and the Demon Realm. The sorcerer's name was Xuanming. Although he was old, he walked steadily and looked calm, as if everything was under his control.
He was dressed in a black robe, his eyes were bright and sharp, and he looked like an immortal.
Gu Ying briefly explained the current situation to Xuan Ming while he was on his way. After listening, Xuan Ming nodded slightly: "The Nightmare Demon is indeed a difficult existence, but if its source is the nightmare of that child, it is not difficult to deal with. We just need to dispel the fear in his heart, and the Nightmare Demon will lose its source of power."
Gu Ying frowned and said, "But Ah Ye's fear is already deeply rooted. How can we dispel his nightmare?"
Xuan Ming smiled faintly: "The source of fear often comes from the trauma in memory. We need to find the deepest pain in his heart and help him resolve it. In this way, the power of the nightmare demon will naturally weaken."
Gu Ying nodded thoughtfully: "Then we have to act as soon as possible. The power of the Nightmare Demon is increasing. Huo Yancheng and Fan Wujiu are already confronting it in the Black Forest. Time is running out."
Xuan Ming hummed and quickened his pace: "Let's go, we have to get there before they can't hold on any longer."
In the Black Forest, Huo Yancheng and Fan Wujiu were fighting fiercely with the Nightmare Demon. The remaining soul of the Nightmare Demon transformed into countless black shadows, shuttling through the forest, making piercing, shrill laughs, trying to disturb the two men's minds.
Huo Yancheng swung the sword in his hand, the sword light was like a rainbow, cutting off the black shadows one by one. He said coldly: "This nightmare demon is really cunning, it wants to use these illusions to consume our strength."
Fan Wujiu formed seals with his hands and released purification spells to disperse the black shadows around him. He said in a deep voice: "We can't let it drag on, otherwise we will be exhausted sooner or later."
At this moment, the voice of the Nightmare sounded in their ears: "Hahaha... Foolish guys, your struggle is in vain. Your weakness is your bond! As long as you still have concerns in your hearts, you can't defeat me!"
Huo Yancheng sneered: "Our bond is our strength. Do you think you can defeat us with this little trick?"
Fan Wujiu also snorted coldly: "Nightmare, your plot will not succeed. We will definitely find your weakness and completely destroy you!"
The Nightmare's laughter became even colder: "Then give it a try. Do you have a lover whom you treasure? Is that person called Jiang Luo? Do you know where he is now? Oh, he is seriously injured and needs someone to take care of him, but you are not by his side."
Fan Wujiu drew out the Aoxue Linghan Sword and said directly to the nightmare demon: "You are looking for death!"
Huo Yancheng stopped him and said, "Calm down, Lu Qing, stay by Jiang Luo's side, don't fall into his trap!"
"A trap?" The Nightmare Demon snapped his fingers and said, "Whether it is a trap or not, you can find out by looking for yourself. Is this where Jiang Luo is hiding?"
As he snapped his fingers, the palace where Jiang Luo lived appeared above their heads. There was no one guarding the palace at this time. Instead, someone sneaked into Jiang Luo's room. In less than a moment, someone shouted, "Fire! Fire! Come and put out the fire!"
In the video, Jiang Luo's room was on fire, with flames shooting up into the sky. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for anyone to survive the fire.
Fan Wujiu's eyes instantly turned red. He turned around and was about to run back to save Jiang Luo, but was stopped by Huo Yancheng, who said to him seriously, "Don't worry about it! Jiang Luo can't be in any trouble. Lu Qing is guarding him, how could the fire start?"
Fan Wujiu reacted and said, "Okay, I'll contact Lu Qing right away."
However, he sent several messages to Lu Qing in his sea of consciousness, but all of them fell on deaf ears and he did not receive a single response.
Huo Yancheng also frowned. He sent many messages to Lu Qing and Jiang Luo, but did not receive a single response. Just when he thought something really happened to Jiang Luo, he suddenly looked at his mobile phone.
There is no signal on the phone, but that’s not the point. The point is that there is not a single message on the phone.
Normally, his phone would have at least a dozen missed calls and hundreds of messages every day, all from business partners or teammates in the four teams.
But at this moment, there was no information on it. It was quiet, as if it was isolated from the world.
Huo Yancheng whispered to Fan Wujiu: "We are trapped in a nightmare."
At this time, Fan Wujiu also reacted and gritted his teeth and said, "I know, this damn monster!"
The two looked at each other, and Huo Yancheng said in a deep voice: "The goal of the Nightmare Demon is to disturb our minds and make us fall into fear and confusion. We can't be led by it, we must calm down and find its flaws. If you are too concerned, you will be confused. You should calm down too."
Fan Wujiu nodded. Although he was still worried about Jiang Luo's situation, he knew that he had to focus on dealing with the Nightmare Demon. He took a deep breath and whispered, "You're right. We can't be fooled by its illusions. I was too worried."
The voice of the Nightmare sounded in their ears again: "Hahaha... Do you think this is an illusion? Then take a look, are those flames real?"
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding trees suddenly caught fire, and the raging flames instantly surrounded the two of them. The heat wave rushed towards them, and the scorching heat of the flames felt extremely real, as if it would devour them in the next second.
Huo Yancheng quickly formed a seal and released a protective barrier to isolate the flames. He said coldly: "The power of the Nightmare Demon can actually create such a realistic illusion in the illusion. It seems that it is more difficult to deal with than we thought."
Fan Wujiu clenched the Aoxue Linghan Sword in his hand, and a layer of frost appeared on the sword. He whispered, "This is the Nightmare Demon, the legendary seventh-level demon. How can it be easy to deal with! Don't worry, the Nightmare Demon can only control nightmares, it can't really hurt us."
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the flames. It was the real body of the Nightmare Demon. Its shape was distorted and it had a ferocious smile on its face: "Do you think you can escape from my control? Too naive! As long as you have fear in your heart, you can't defeat me! As long as you have fear in your heart, I can make you immersed in nightmares forever!"
Huo Yancheng snorted coldly: "Fear? Do you think we are afraid of you? In fact, the truly pathetic one is you. You keep saying that bondage is our weakness. On the contrary, bondage is our armor and our battle robe! And you, a devil born from fear and terror. What do you have? Do you enjoy making others fall into nightmares in the future? But what do you get in the end? I wonder if you have ever heard of a saying that tearing off someone else's umbrella will not stop you from getting wet in the rain. Similarly, do you get happiness from making others suffer?"
"Shut up!" The Nightmare shouted, "How do you know I'm not happy? Watching you struggling in a nightmare, I don't know how happy I am!"
Huo Yancheng chuckled and said, "Oh, really? If you are really happy, who would know? You are hiding in this deep forest. Even if you cry or laugh, who would care? You have no friends, no family, no partners. Are you sure that your happiness is real happiness? Who can prove it?"
The Nightmare Demon was stunned and asked, "Who... who can prove it? I... I am not happy? Could it be... could it be that I am really not happy?"
Huo Yancheng yelled, "An evil thing like you doesn't deserve to be happy!"
As he spoke, he swung the long sword in his hand suddenly, and a sharp sword energy rushed straight towards the nightmare demon. Fan Wujiu followed closely behind, and the cold energy of the Aoxue Linghan Sword turned into countless ice blades and attacked the nightmare demon.
The Nightmare Demon let out a sharp roar, dodged quickly, and released more black shadows to pounce on the two. These shadows were like substance, carrying strong negative emotions, trying to erode the will of the two.
Huo Yancheng and Fan Wujiu stood back to back, covering each other and resisting the attacks of the nightmare demon. The battle gradually became fierce, and the surrounding environment was constantly changing. Sometimes the flames shot up into the sky, and sometimes the cold air was pressing. The illusions of the nightmare demon appeared in an endless stream.
