"Yes, it turns out that the life of vindication that adults long for is so dull and ordinary." The dream eater replied.

For some reason, Zhang Hao suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.

This dream-eater actually snooped into his dreams and his life without his permission!
"Please calm down, sir. I will soon forget these dreams. Even if I want to remember them, I can't. Please don't worry..." said the dream eater with a smile.

Looking at the calm man in front of him, Zhang Hao couldn't help but laugh.

"Do you want me to see your abilities so that I can trust you in the next action?" he asked.

"Yes, but not entirely." The Dream Eater said, looking at the trio next to him, "If they can wake up, I will tell you the purpose of my actions. If they cannot wake up, then I hope you can follow my instructions for the next actions."

"Why?" Zhang Hao asked puzzledly.

"Because this action involves certain risks, if we don't do this, we may not be able to wake up." The Dream Eater explained.

Zhang Hao remembered the special nature of Chen Feng's ghost, and finally nodded and agreed.

"Okay, let's do as you say. I trust them."

Zhang Hao looked at the trio around him, feeling a mixture of emotion.

Without their company in his previous life, he felt extremely lonely.

Now that he saw them again, the emptiness in his heart was finally filled, and he even felt...incomparably happy.

These three people each have their own inner demons, and the Dream Eater must be trying to test them.

This action, to some extent, coincides with Zhang Hao's idea, so he will not try his best to stop it.

At this time, the three were still in a dream, maintaining their previous postures.

Hao Xie was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed; Fatty Wang was sitting on the table, leaning slightly towards Hao Xie; Zhang Qilin was standing alone behind the table with his arms folded across his chest, his eyes still seemingly looking outside.

However, they did not know that they had fallen into the dream of the dream-eating ghost while they were still confused.

"If they can't defeat their inner demons, will they never wake up?" Zhang Hao asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, sir. I will help them wake up and will not leave any negative impact on them. There are many people in the world who make wishes and hope to dream, and I can hear them all." The dream-eater ghost replied.

Zhang Hao muttered in his heart, if he made a wish, shouldn't the one who could hear those voices be a god? Why would it be a ghost?

However, he felt that his thought was a bit rude, so he held back and didn't say it out loud. He just lowered his head silently, waiting for them to wake up.

More than an hour later, Hao Xie suddenly opened his eyes and breathed rapidly.

The Dream Eater smiled and said, "This one has succeeded."

"Haoxie, congratulations!" Zhang Hao was also happy for Haoxie.

Hao Xie was a little confused at first, with a dazed look in his eyes, but when he saw Zhang Hao's expression and the strange man standing in front of him, and recalled the words he had just heard, he suddenly laughed.

“I was wondering why I would have that dream for no apparent reason. Now that I succeeded, it proves… that thing will not happen.” Hao Xie lowered his head, and Zhang Hao saw a hint of fear in his expression.

The inner demon he just experienced seemed to be his ordinary and boring previous life. He successfully broke through the shackles of the inner demon.

"Hao Xie, what is your inner demon?" Zhang Hao asked in a joking tone, "Of course, if you don't want to tell me, forget it. I'm not--"

"I dreamed that you all left." Hao Xie raised his head and said lightly, "I dreamed that Fatty Wang, Zhang Qilin, and you all left me."

"What?" Zhang Hao asked in surprise.

“Fatty Wang found a rare heirloom in an ancient tomb and sold it; Zhang Qilin suddenly disappeared, and when I found him again, he had forgotten me; you…” Hao Xie said, looking at Zhang Hao, who suddenly found that his eyes seemed a little moist.

Why? What... happened to him?
"What's wrong with dreaming about me?" Zhang Hao asked.

"I dreamed that you left too, without saying anything, on the most ordinary day. You didn't take anything with you, and you walked out of the door of Yin Yang Inn in front of us, and never came back." Hao Xie said.

Zhang Hao found it unbelievable.

It can be seen from these dreams that what Hao Xie fears most is actually separation.

In the dream just now, he experienced all kinds of partings. To him, parting was more terrifying than death.

Death cannot be resisted, but departure is a choice made by oneself.

"But you still came out, didn't you?" Zhang Hao said.

Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Hao Xie smiled, and his dim eyes seemed to glow again.

"Yes, although Fatty loves money, he won't do anything out of line if he really encounters a big problem. As for Menyouping, although I still don't fully understand his story, if he really passes away one day, I will definitely go to find him, and he will definitely come to find me. Even if he forgets me, he will definitely know that there was someone like me in his life. Even if he comes to find the answer, he will come to me..."

This is the bond between the trio.

At this moment, Zhang Hao suddenly felt a little lonely.

Although he has been with these people all along, to be honest, he doesn't feel that he really sees through them.

I even felt that I had never entered their inner world.

"What about me?" Zhang Hao asked.

"You? You won't leave." Hao Xie replied.

"Because the Yin Yang Inn is here?" Zhang Hao asked.

"No, because we are here." Hao Xie said.

After hearing Hao Xie's answer, Zhang Hao was stunned for a long time, then laughed.

No emotion, just a simple smile.

Maybe it's because I'm happy. I'm happy that the weight I hold in their hearts is as important as they hope I hold in their hearts.

However, what makes me sad is that I still have too many secrets that I cannot tell.

Not being able to be honest with friends and partners is the most painful thing in the world.

At this moment, a loud shout was heard: "Oh shit!" It turned out that Fatty Wang had also woken up.

His reaction was much more ridiculous than Hao Xie's. "Who dares to target Fatty? Stand up!" Fatty Wang shouted.

Zhang Hao said with a smile: "Fatty, you are awake now, forget everything in your dream just now."

Fatty Wang was stunned for several seconds before he realized that everything that had just happened was just a dream.

"Tell me quickly, what did you dream about?" Hao Xie asked excitedly.

"I won't tell you!" Fatty Wang said proudly, "If I tell you, it will affect my image in your hearts. But you, kid!"

As he spoke, Fatty Wang walked up to the Dream Eater and tried to reach out to hug his neck, but his hand went through the Dream Eater's body. This is a ghost without a physical body! Zhang Hao tilted his head in confusion.

Generally speaking, shouldn’t the ghosts in the underworld have bodies?

Even if not, he would make a paper body for himself like the ghost before.

After all, if you go out to do things in broad daylight and are exposed to direct sunlight, everything might be reduced to ashes.

No matter what kind of body it is, it is a guarantee for those ghosts.

However, this dream eater...seems a little different.

"Excuse me, sir. I'm not really a real ghost. I just happen to belong to the underworld, so they added the word 'ghost' after my name." The dream eater ghost explained.

"Then may I ask who you are?" Zhang Hao was very surprised by the dream-eater's ability, so his tone was much more respectful.

This person's ability is so special. If he is really more powerful than me, then my actions just now were a bit disrespectful to him, right? Zhang Hao thought to himself.

He, the owner of the Yin Yang Inn, has never been afraid of offending others, but if he can avoid offending others, he will naturally not provoke them without reason.

"I believe that when you entered the room, you have caught a glimpse of that wisp of smoke. That is my real body... or rather, I have no fixed body." The dream-eater spoke slowly, and after he finished speaking, he actually revealed a bitter smile.

Zhang Hao pondered in his heart that perhaps even the dream-eating ghost himself was not sure whether the smoke could be considered his true body.

"Then how did you show up?" Zhang Hao asked curiously.

"I don't know either. When I realized it, it was already here. Perhaps, it is because many people pray before going to bed, hoping to have a good dream and avoid being disturbed by nightmares. And I am the existence that devours nightmares." said the dream-eating ghost.

Zhang Hao suddenly understood what was going on when he heard this. No wonder he could hear those people's wishes.

It turns out that he is not a ghost, but a god born and raised by nature!
"Sir, you are actually a god!" Zhang Hao's tone was full of respect.

The Dream Eater was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hands, "Forget it, forget it, how is it possible? I'm just a wild ghost."

"Does the lord have a name?" Zhang Hao asked again.

"No, the underworld has given me the name Dream Eater Ghost, so you can call me that." The Dream Eater Ghost replied.

"This name is too formal. If you don't mind, I would like to give you a nickname and let you think about the formal name yourself in the future." Zhang Hao suggested.

The Dream Eater pondered for a moment and asked, "What kind of nickname would that be?"

"My lord, you are carrying the good wishes of everyone, so why not just call it a dream?" Zhang Hao said.

"Dream...Dream..." The Dream Eater muttered to himself several times, and suddenly smiled, "What a good name, what a good name!"

Zhang Hao felt relieved when he saw that the Dream Eater liked this name.

He turned to look at the trio, only to find that Fatty Wang and Hao Xie were both staring at Zhang Qilin without saying a word, with nervous expressions.

Zhang Hao's heart trembled, and he suddenly realized that Zhang Qilin had not woken up yet!

He is still in a coma!

Zhang Hao hurried forward and gently shook Zhang Qilin's body.

Meng Zhi shook his head and said, "It's useless. He can't wake up on his own. He needs my help."

Fatty Wang was very emotional. He took two steps to Meng Zhi and tried to grab his collar, but found that Meng Zhi had no physical body. He could only point at him and said with gritted teeth: "Listen, I don't care if you are a ghost or a god. If anything happens to my brother, I will never forgive you!"

"Don't be so excited. Don't you want to know what his inner demon is?" Meng Zhi said calmly.

Fatty Wang subconsciously retorted, "I don't want to know! Wake him up!"

"Yes, let him wake up first..." Zhang Hao also urged.

Zhang Hao was well aware that Zhang Qilin was surrounded by many mysteries. If Hao Xie and Fatty Wang knew about this at this time, it would definitely bring a heavy burden to them.

With their current capabilities, they are simply unable to solve those problems.

"Did you hear that?" Fatty Wang continued to press.

"I want to know." Hao Xie suddenly interrupted Fatty Wang and said firmly, "I want to know."

Fatty Wang looked at Hao Xie in surprise, "Hao Xie, you..."

Zhang Hao was shocked at first, but then he was relieved. It was reasonable for Hao Xie to make such a decision. He was too afraid of losing any of the three people, so he wanted to know the other's inner demons and wondered if he could help them.

As long as he can get rid of the demons in his heart, perhaps people will not leave him.

"His inner demon is 'darkness'." Meng Zhi said slowly.

"Dark?" Zhang Hao took a step forward in confusion, "What is dark? I don't quite understand. Is it darkness or..."

"No, just plain 'black'."

The Dream Eater shook his head and continued, "He was in darkness, so dark that he couldn't even see himself. At first, he thought he was blind, but he kept moving forward and searching, but he couldn't see any trace of you. Later, he began to shout, but the darkness seemed to swallow up his voice, and he couldn't even hear his own voice."

The plain words depicted the scene, but it made people feel cold and terrifying.

If Zhang Qilin was really in such an environment, he would indeed be a mental demon.

"What happened next? What was he doing? Did he stop and wait for us to find him?" Zhang Hao asked hurriedly.

"No, he is still searching, reaching out to touch. He doesn't look like he is looking for something, but more like he is looking for someone. He keeps shouting with an inaudible voice, but he seems not to know what he wants to shout, and can only shout out ridiculous single syllables..." Meng Zhi said.

Zhang Qilin is looking for them!

Even in such a situation, he never gave up searching!
Such behavior is indeed in line with Zhang Qilin's character.

Hao Xie suddenly lowered his head. Zhang Hao couldn't see his expression from his angle, but he could see that his shoulders seemed to be trembling slightly.

Did he cry?

Zhang Hao never found out in the end. He only saw Hao Xie turn around and leave without saying a word.

Fatty Wang also fell silent. He took two steps back, shook his head, gently pressed Zhang Qilin's body on the chair, and went upstairs himself.

They might be regretting knowing Zhang Qilin's inner demons, but they are also feeling fortunate.

Zhang Hao said to Meng Zhi: "Please untie it and let the little brother come back."

"You also think that he can't solve it by himself?" Meng Zhi asked.

"No, Zhang Qilin is a special person. We can all save ourselves, but he has shouldered too much and has forgotten himself. (End of this chapter)
