The Deceitful One

Chapter 155 Dreamworld Part III

Bryan was completely and utterly flabbergasted as he looked around at the various people eating their meals, the baristas going around serving food, and the staff cooking dishes in the kitchen.

He gulped in disbelief and replied, "You mean to say..all of this around us..is a dream!?"

Then he pointed at the young blonde girl in the white dress and asked, "And all this is being dreamt by her!?"

'That's right!' Benny nodded, 'None of this is real. All of this is a construct created by that human girl's subconscious mind!'

It took a while for Bryan to come back to his senses. He then looked at Benny and asked, "This is one of your abilities right? Entering other people's dreams?"

Benny nodded his head proudly and raised his paws in the air as he declared, 'Yes! For I am the Nightmare Cat!'

Bryan's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch as he then asked, "What else can you do inside others' dreams?"historical

Benny thought for a long time and then replied, 'For now, I can enter other people's dreams and also gain access to their subconscious mind to read all their memories.

But Uncle Octopus says, once I grow older and become stronger, I will be able to weave dreams with just a wave of my paw!'

Bryan inquired, "Just who is this Uncle Octopus you keep mentioning?"

He had heard Benny mention this person on many different occasions, however, every time he asked him about this person, Benny would avoid answering.

And as expected, Benny shook his head with a profound smile, 'Can't tell! Won't tell!'

"You little brat!" Bryan grabbed Benny by his shoulders and began to knuckle him on the head, "Always keeping me in suspense!"

However, Benny simply brushed it off by giggling like a little child. He then looked at Bryan and reassured him,

'But you don't have to worry, Bryan. Uncle Octopus doesn't mean any harm. In fact, he's the one who's always taking care of me whenever I visit the motherland. He's also the one who has taught me how to utilize my powers and abilities.'

"Is that so?" Bryan looked at him dubiously, "Then has he asked you for anything in return?"

Benny tilted his head in confusion, 'Asked for anything in return? No, he didn't. He just said that it was his duty.'

'His duty?' Bryan thought inwardly, 'This octopus guy is highly suspect!'

He then looked at Benny and instructed solemnly, "Benny, whenever you visit the Dreamworld, make sure to be careful around this octopus guy, okay?"

The moment Bryan said those words, he felt a severe chill crawl up his spine. For some reason, he had a vague feeling that someone was glaring at him in immense dissatisfaction.

He turned around to look just who exactly it was. But all he saw was a bunch of people having meals at their table.

Benny covered his mouth with his two tiny paws and began to giggle, 'Uncle octopus said to watch your mouth.'

Bryan began to sweat profusely as he looked back at Benny and replied, "Y-Yeah, sure thing!"

Although Bryan knew that this would be an invasion of privacy, down to the deepest level, he simply didn't care. It's not like he had any ulterior motives, he just wanted to check out Benny's ability.

'Okay!' Benny nodded, 'But you must maintain physical contact with me, or else you won't be able to enter her subconscious mind.'

Bryan nodded and approached the blonde young lady with Benny in his arms. Much to his surprise, he realized that the people all around him completely ignored him and Benny. It was as if the two of them were invisible inside the dream!

When he asked Benny about it, the latter replied, 'Yes! I will be completely invisible to the people in the dream unless I want them to see me.'

Bryan thought that this made sense. After all, he would instead covertly enter other people's dreams than be visible to them.

What if the person remembered Bryan when they woke up? Appearing in one's dreams, once or twice could be considered a coincidence, but appearing multiple times? Now, that would spell trouble.

Unbeknownst to the blonde young lady, Bryan and Benny had already approached her and were standing right behind her.

Bryan looked at Benny and asked, "Now what?"

Benny didn't reply instantly. He stretched out his small paw and gently touched the back of the young lady's head. He then looked at Bryan and asked in an excited voice, 'Ready?'

Bryan solemnly nodded his head. Benny closed his eyes and utilized a type of energy that felt similar to spiritual force but also slightly different. The next moment, both of them disappeared from the spot!

Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside the restaurant had come to a halt. The various customers who were eating had stopped midway. The baristas carrying food within the restaurant had stopped in their footsteps.

Everything had turned silent almost as if someone had hit the pause button!

About five minutes later, the space behind the blonde girl twisted and writhed and Bryan and Benny appeared all of a sudden.

The next moment, everything and everyone inside the restaurant went back to normal and the place was once again filled with clamor.

Benny excitedly grabbed Bryan's collar and asked with bright eyes, 'Bryan! Bryan! Did you see that? It was so much fun right?'

Bryan on the other hand was completely dumbfounded. His eyes had widened and his jaw had dropped.

'What the fuck did I just witness!?' He wondered in astonishment.

From the moment this blonde young lady in front of him had taken her first breath to the events that led to her going to bed earlier tonight. Bryan was able to see everything! Not a single moment was missed!

Even the memories that had been buried deep inside her, Bryan was able to see it. All her secrets were laid bare in front of him. At this point, he could even claim that he knew the blonde young lady better than anyone else, perhaps even herself!
