This time, there was no movement on the lake.
But when he stepped onto the lake, the figure of a fat dream toad jumped out of the fog.
It stood before him. Although its appearance was considered ugly in the eyes of ordinary people, it said politely:
"Good night, my dear guest. I am the manager of the theater."
"You have passed the test. My Lord has just given me instructions. If you can guide the development of the story of this world and create a new story that satisfies my Lord, my Lord will bestow a blessing on you."
"Can I refuse this job?"
Meng Chan was stunned for a moment when he heard You Huan's question, and then said:
"Yes... but the favor and gift from my Lord - the God of Supreme Glory, Drama and God, is something that billions of lives cannot get even if they try their best."
As it spoke, its tone revealed a hint of envy.
You Huan smiled slightly when he heard this: "I'm just asking casually. I'm willing to take on this matter - but I want to ask, who is the master you serve..."
Meng Chan interrupted, "The Lord's real name is not something we can know. You just need to know one thing—"
"My Lord is God, and at the same time, He is the master of the theater."
"God..."
"There is one more thing." Meng Chan didn't pay attention to his thoughtfulness and opened a huge mouth between the bubbles on his head.
A long, sticky tongue with something on it came out of its mouth and stretched in front of him.
This thing is a badge, and what seems to be a twisted spider with thousands of faces is carved on its surface.
"No matter where you come from...if you see creatures from the 'Mist Plain' in the outside world, you can clean them up."
You Huan asked, "Kirihara?"
"Their behavior has crossed the line, and the 'law' has intervened. They are the most suitable 'villains' in this story."
"Outside of the story, if you want to eliminate them, you can do so. This kind of killing is completely legal."
Meng Chan talked to himself and did not answer him.
Seeing that it did not answer the question about what "Mist Plain" was, You Huan asked again: "Is the law the law of the Fenyu world?"
Eyeballs rolled out of the bubbles on the dream toad's head, and it looked at You Huan with a little surprise.
"Oh! You actually know our world. Yes, Fenyu has its own laws. Although you are an outsider, since you have attracted the glimpse of our Lord, you are also qualified to be included in the laws."
"If it is an ordinary life form, even if it kills a serious criminal of Fen Yu, we will kill it."
"Speaking of the law..." It paused strangely while speaking.
"The homology makes me realize that you were able to enter the dream with the help of something from my own race... Don't worry, I serve my Lord and have no relationship with that group of my own race."
"Since your Dream Toad aura makes me feel more familiar, I would like to remind you of one more thing. A law enforcer has come to the Mist Plain. That guy is definitely the most dangerous among the law enforcers. You'd better stay away from him."
"If you are unlucky enough to meet him... in short, don't go against him."
"But since my Lord seems to think highly of you, I will give you something..."
The last note of Meng Chan floated in his ears. Although You Huan still had many questions, he suddenly felt extremely sleepy.
The next moment, his consciousness fell into a haze.
When he opened his eyes for the fourth time, he looked at the night sky revealed by the clearing of the fog and realized that he had finally woken up.
This time, he had almost no chance to explore the dream on his own, and everything that happened seemed like a real strange dream.
According to the common sense he gained from possessing the Dream Toad last time, Dreamland is a place between reality and illusion, and its geographical concept is completely different from that of the real world.
Two completely unrelated regions may border or even overlap under one condition, but be thousands of miles apart under another condition.
The scene he saw in his dream, the back corresponds to the Dream Toad King City area, and the big lake in the front should be related to the theater of that... great existence.
The left and right sides are covered with fog, which should be what the theater managers call the "mist field".
In several dreams within dreams, he only interacted with the "theater" area in front of him.
There has been no exploration of either the Kirihara or the Dream Toad King City.
But at the same time, he also learned some new things about the Fenyu world.
It can be seen from the fact that the dream is divided into three areas that the theater forces and Kirihara should not be the same. The badge representing Kirihara presented by Mengchan has a spider mark on it, which shows that his guess about the spider element of Kirihara is correct.
Ms. Carmody is a "villain" controlled by the theater, but after being transformed into a monster, she becomes a fog monster.
From this we can see that theater tends to guide indirectly and create stories according to local conditions.
And why the theater does this... perhaps it has something to do with the great existence it corresponds to.
Mengchan said that its master is "God".
God...it just happens to fit in with Ms. Carmody's beliefs, which is absurd.
Another title it mentions is "the God of Supreme Glory, Drama and 'God'", which directly points out that this great being may love drama.
A god who controls the fate of all beings...
He only took one look at the body that should be his incarnation, and he felt a sense of oppression that he had never felt in other levels of life.
His every move seemed to embody the truth of the world, a truth that was incomprehensible to ordinary beings and went straight to the essence of the world.
Obviously, He is an existence at the level of "Truth" in the Fenyu World.
Even if this god did not have much ill will towards him, just the sight of him was enough to cause him strong discomfort.
This level is still a bit far away for him.
He turned his attention to two other things.
One is the story of how he changed the world, while at the same time passing the test of a dream within a dream and demonstrating his abilities.
This God gave him a job.
If he could act as temporary director and bring David's story to a new ending, it would be enough to satisfy the supreme audience behind the scenes.
Then not only will he not be punished for destroying the story, but he will also receive a gift from a truth-level being.
The level of truth... This is a great existence that he has never seen in his original world or even in all the worlds he has experienced in the past.
He also wondered what the gift from such a being would be.
Of course, if it was something that would convert him into a believer or something, forget it…
The second thing is more practical.
The Dream Toad in charge of the theater realized that he had entered the dream through the City God Toad, and gave him a good thing in the end...
You Huan, who was stationed with the military in a block in Bridgetown and sleeping in a private house, moved his hand slightly and took out the City Toad from the space card.
With a flip of the other hand, a round bead condensed and took shape from nothingness.
This thing is actually an illusion, but the dream toad has solidified it into a solid entity through some technique. It is a disposable item.
When he touched the bead, he immediately understood its purpose.
It can open some things related to the Dream Toad, including but not limited to things containing elements such as "doors" and "treasure chests".
Of course, he chose to use this round bead to open the City Toad to obtain the secret techniques contained therein.
When it was brought to a statue, the curled-up toad-like sculpture seemed to come alive instantly.
The curled up strange creature slowly raised its head and swallowed the round bead into its mouth.
The five sculptures he owns all glow with a psychedelic, dreamlike glow.
In an instant, his consciousness seemed to penetrate layers of barriers and time and space, and he saw the royal secrets hidden in the sculpture.
This secret technique...isn't this the Monster Shadow Fusion Technique?
