Chapter 195: The Son of Nightmare and the Night Watchman
Son of Nightmare.
Just like a bird called cuckoo that Lu En knew in his previous life, these birds never build nests and hatch eggs by themselves, but lay their eggs in other bird nests and let other birds help them hatch eggs. The young birds will even take the opportunity to kill the eggs laid by the original owner.
This is also the origin of the idiom "cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest".
The existence of the son of nightmare is similar to this, but there are differences. They are creatures that exist in the original world, so they will not be rejected, but their power comes from the nightmare world, thus becoming a nail inserted into the nightmare world.
And as their strength gradually increases, the nightmare world can penetrate more and more power through them, and even monsters belonging to the nightmare world can be put in to attack another world.
And these are not transferred by the will of the son of nightmare. Whether they are willing or not, as long as they are still alive, they will become the springboard and tentacles of the nightmare world, unless they are all saints and can commit suicide decisively to protect the whole world.
But is this possible?
In the long war, there is no doubt that the nightmare world has taken an absolute advantage. Even a weak nightmare son like Nim can directly appear nightmare channels around him, triggering a frenzy, which can only mean that the world they live in has very weak resistance.
In other words, the world they live in is actually on the verge of destruction in Nim's mouth?
Lu En widened his eyes and listened to Nim's story, always feeling unrealistic and absurd.
The world they live in is now calm, with no volcanic eruptions, no signs of tsunamis, meteorites falling, etc., and it is thriving. It doesn't look like it is going to be destroyed.
A world on the verge of destruction should not have the earth cracked, lava all over the ground, volcanic ash covering the sky, tsunamis, glaciers and other extreme environments appearing in turn?
"But even if it is destroyed, it still takes a long process."
Lun raised his question, and Nim replied: "For the world, even tens of millions of years is just a blink of an eye, but if the situation you said occurs, there is no doubt that there is no room for salvation."
It's like a disease with a very long incubation period. Normally, you are healthy and nothing can be seen, but if it is not discovered and treated in time, when the symptoms suddenly break out, it is basically in the late stage, and you can prepare for the funeral.
"So, the attitude of the Red Gloves or other forces towards you should be to kill without mercy, why."
Lun blinked, feeling that what Nim said conflicted with what he knew.
"Because of power."
Faced with this question, Nim was silent for a moment, and then he slowly spoke in a low voice: "The power of the son of nightmare can be taken away, just like those evil spirits that invade."
"The power of the invaders comes from the evil spirits, and the son of nightmare, in a sense, is also an evil spirit, the spirit of nightmare!"
Nim stretched out his finger, pointed at his head, and smiled miserably: "This is what they want. What Red Gloves needs is not the son of nightmare, but the night watchman, who has the power of the nightmare world but uses it to protect this world."
"Do you understand, Luen, this is my destiny."
"Hiss!"
Lun took a breath and immediately understood what Nim meant.
In fact, it is very simple. You just need to replace Nim's identity from a human to an evil spirit, and everything will be logical.
If Nim falls into the hands of Red Gloves, then he will first be transformed into a form similar to an evil spirit, and then the host arranged by Red Gloves will take the initiative to let Nim invade. The specific situation is similar to Luen's blood spirit, but there is no doubt that Nim's will must be on the lower side.
The invader was originally an evil spirit that gradually eroded the host's body and even soul, but in Nim's case, everything might be the opposite. The host would take away his power, suppress or even erase his will. After all, in essence, he is a human being, not an evil spirit.
The host arranged by Red Gloves must be a carefully selected elite with a strong will.
Humans may not be able to defeat evil spirits, but it is still easy to defeat another human.
In a sense, this is also a kind of cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest.
The Nightmare Realm chose the Son of Nightmare and broke into the world, trying to break through from the inside and bloom in the center, while Red Gloves chose to eat the sugar coating and throw the shells back to the Nightmare Realm.
They even used the power of the Nightmare Realm to protect the world they exist in.
The person who can come up with this method must be a genius!
Lu En couldn't help but applaud this idea, and at the same time he understood why he couldn't change his job to a night watchman. Did he lack some kind of job change props?
Of course, if it is put on a specific person, this is a cruel thing. No one would like to be treated like this. In the end, even their will will be wiped out, and even their existence will be replaced by others.
And those who replaced the Nightmare Son are the Night Watchmen. However, as their strength increases, they will gradually become closer to nightmare creatures and be rejected by the original world.
The Night Watchmen at the bishop level are already struggling. If they change to the archbishop level, they will immediately be crushed into slag by the world's repulsive force. Therefore, once they become Night Watchmen, it means saying goodbye to this world and living in the nightmare world forever.
Only when the Red Gloves need their power can they return to this world through the summoning ceremony.
But for the Night Watchmen, this is no longer their home, but a land that rejects and hates them. For the world, they have become more thorough traitors than the Nightmare Sons.
"So what about the Nightmare Sons before? Where did they go?"
From Nim's growth trajectory, Luen can also see the horror of these Nightmare Sons. Think about it, a few months ago, Nim was just an ordinary student, and now, he is at the peak of the Grand Master, just one step away from entering the bishop level, so how terrifying are those Nightmare Sons who appeared earlier than him?
It is possible that they are all at the level of Archbishops!
Such a group of existence is no different from the gods walking on the earth.
"Where do you think the Night Watchmen in the Federation and the Red Gloves came from now?"
Facing Luen's question, Nim just replied lightly and said no more, but Luen suddenly felt a little chill in his heart.
Obviously, before this, there must have been a very terrible change that caused the powerful Nightmare Sons to disappear, and the driving force behind this was obviously the Federation and the Red Gloves.
How did they do it?
In other words, what force helped them to uproot the Son of Nightmare, so that Luen had never heard of this force?
Nim obviously knew more, but he was unwilling to say more, obviously not believing Luen, Luen did not force him, and instead raised another question.
"If that's the case, then the Nightmare Realm should be on your side, so why are there nightmare creatures chasing you?"
The Son of Nightmare is a favored child of heaven favored by the will of the Nightmare World, but since the first day Luen met Nim, the pursuit from the Nightmare World has never stopped.
As a result, Nim had to avoid the pursuit of forces such as the Red Gloves, and also guard against the pursuit of nightmare creatures. If he hadn't met Dalinna, ten of him would probably have died.
"Because some beings in the Nightmare Realm also don't want me to live."
Nim pursed his lips, with a bit of mockery in his eyes: "They are afraid that I will eat them!"
