I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

The room remained so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and Elena slept peacefully beside her; everything seemed perfectly fine…

Lei Ming wiped the cold sweat from his face, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

Then he gently moved Elena's arm away from his lap, then lifted the covers and went to the bathroom...

shuh…

The cool water jet washed away the sweat from his face, and he braced his hands on the sink…

Looking up at his reflection in the mirror, he saw a shirtless man with an unusually fierce gaze, as if he wanted to kill someone… His eyes were bloodshot, and he muttered to himself:

"What... happened to me..."

Lei Ming stared at the person in the mirror. Although the person looked exactly like him, it felt like he was looking at a completely different person…

This reminded him of a term from the medical field.

PTSD…

Commonly known as post-traumatic stress disorder, or war sequelae...

This refers to a mental illness that occurs after a person suffers a major traumatic event or witnesses a scene that causes immense psychological stress. When it occurs, it can cause nightmares, irritability, mania, and a series of other abnormal behaviors.

In severe cases, it can even lead to uncontrollable acts of violence, including murder or suicide…

And he,

He killed so many people…

Whether they are bad guys or good guys, civilians, soldiers, fighter pilots... hijackers, or even angels! And...

His own 30,000 people.

And Qiao Wei…

The one he once longed for... yet whom he killed with his own hands.

The first woman.

He killed so many people... and in Heaven, he killed angels for over a decade without closing his eyes.

His brain is really...

Is there absolutely no problem?

Lei Ming felt a little dizzy... He didn't know if he should see a doctor, or if it would even help. Anyway...

It's impossible for him to go back to sleep now.

Just as I turned around, I heard a strange noise coming from the manor hall…

Using X-ray vision, they discovered two masked men in black carrying a bag of thieves' tools and pistols at their waists, stealthily beginning their theft inside the manor…

Without considering how two petty thieves managed to get through the heavily guarded Earl's manor and arrive here before being detected by his senses, Lei Ming glanced at Elena, who was still fast asleep on the bed, and gently opened and closed the door before leaving the room.

...

In the first-floor reception room, two petty thieves were whispering and discussing the value of an antique vase, completely unaware of what was happening...

In the pitch-black environment, a tall figure appeared behind them, slowly walking towards them.

whoosh…

Before the two petty thieves could even cry out, Lei Ming swiftly reached out... grabbed each of them by the neck, and lifted them into the air...

The two petty thieves struggled incessantly, kicking their legs and reaching out to pry the fingers off their necks... but to no avail.

Lei Ming has never shown mercy to those who are courting death.

He gradually tightened his grip... The two petty thieves were instantly rendered speechless, and their struggles slowly subsided...

Suddenly... someone turned on the chandelier in the hall, and the whole room was instantly filled with light.

Lei Ming's pupils dilated instantly!

Because the two people he was holding by the neck and lifting in the air were actually Elena and Sofia!

He immediately let go! Then, he quickly caught them in his arms and gently laid them flat on the ground…

But both of them had already stopped breathing.

"What's going on..."

how so?!"

Lei Ming frantically checked Elena's heartbeat, but couldn't feel a single pulse...

Just as he was about to lose his temper, his expression suddenly froze... and then gradually returned to calm.

Without looking at Elena on the ground again, he slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping across the hall, finally settling on an antique clock standing against the wall, almost as tall as him.

The second hand ticked slowly, its reflection shimmering on the large glass mirror of the clock.

With his gaze fixed on the antique clock, Lei Ming strode towards it…

Strangely, the reflection on the mirror did not move in sync with his movements... The reflection of himself remained standing still, expressionless, watching Lei Ming walk to the clock.

The very next second that Lei Ming stood still in front of the clock, the 'Lei Ming' in the mirror suddenly grinned and said:

Superman…

No wonder he's someone who could kill all the angels... and still come back alive from Heaven.

After he finished speaking, a faint smile remained on his face, seemingly unsurprised that Lei Ming had been able to realize it was a dream in time.

As he spoke, 'Elena' and 'Sophia' lying on the floor in the center of the hall instantly turned to ashes, and the entire room returned to complete darkness...

Who are you?!

What are they trying to achieve by playing these tricks?

Lei Ming's expression was solemn because his senses could not detect any sign of the existence of this 'reflection'.

The images and sounds he had just seen, as well as his PTSD, were all the work of this guy. He used some method to put him to sleep when he was relaxed and lowered his guard, and then amplified that little 'weakness' deep inside him, making him so distracted that he forgot everything he should have noticed.

As a result, he almost made a fool of me.

The reflection shook its head in response to Lei Ming's questioning...

Your wording is not quite accurate... I am not 'anyone'...

Of course... I'm not a ghost, or an angel... a demon, or anything else..."

"I am…

Dream…"

...

. . . . . . .

(They couldn't even get on the tricycle; they were completely bewildered.)

Chapter 74 Electrolux's Gift

Lei Ming opened his eyes and woke up again.

Looking around, he was still lying on the bed in the guest room, and Elena was still sleeping soundly next to him.

Even though he already knew that everything that had just happened was fake, Lei Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw her peaceful sleeping face and heard her steady breathing and heartbeat.

When he got out of bed, he realized that the sheets beneath him were soaked with his sweat.

He had fallen into a dream within a dream...

He sat on the edge of the bed for a while, then went to the bathroom to wash his face. This time, however, his complexion looked perfectly normal in the mirror…

There was no fierce look in his eyes...and no bloodshot eyes.

"'Dream,' is it...?"

Lei Ming muttered to himself…

Just now in the dream, that's what the 'self' reflected in the glass said, but when Lei Ming pressed him for the reason why he deliberately teased him, he replied that it was just a small test...

Then he woke up again.

Having memorized this guy's abilities, Lei Ming used his telepathy to search the entire world for information about 'dreams' in everyone's minds, and soon he had the answer.

In fact, he had heard the name 'Dream' in his previous life, but he didn't know much about it. Now he knows who this guy is.

His name is Morpheus

He is a 'god' who was born from the dreams of the first living beings in the world, and he also has a bunch of 'brothers and sisters'.

Death, fate, despair, desire, delirium, destruction.

They are called the Endless Ones, or the Endless Family, because each of them represents a concept of life, and they have existed even longer than the oldest life forms on Earth, and even some gods…

Dream, also known as Morpheus, is a member of the Endless Family.

He is the ruler of the dream realm, possessing the ability to freely enter and even manipulate the dreams of others. Although some humans also call him the 'Dream God,' as he himself says... he does not consider himself a god or any other being.

It was just a dream... nothing more.

These are conclusions drawn by anthropologists based on speculation or research. In fact, Lei Ming only knows his name and origin. After all, he is one of the oldest beings in this world... His abilities are definitely not just about manipulating dreams.
