The Death Knell

Watching a dreamer vomit large amounts of purple wax is far more terrifying than squeezing out toothpaste.

Incubating a nightmare will cause great trauma to a person's mental body in the dream, and in reality, it will cause the person to suddenly lose weight.

He was originally a fat man, but in an instant the nightmare would take away most of his vitality. This process was directly reflected on the body, which meant losing a lot of fat and protein and converting them into energy.

This process of damage is almost irreversible, but as long as the person is still alive and recovers slowly, his life will not be short.

The premise is that he doesn't hatch another nightmare, and doesn't become a seedbed for monsters in dreams.

Logically speaking, it should be a happy thing to see oneself gaining new strength, but Insomniac couldn't be happy looking at this scene.

It walked to a dream sofa and sat down. The nightmare it was currently in told the story of a person who was afraid of his own sexual impotence, so it was basically an indoor scene.

Since just now, it has felt that more and more sleepless knights have lost contact, disappeared from the dream level, and even some nightmares were fine not long ago.

It knew who its biggest opponent was, the Deathstroke from another world who was also famous in the dream, but he was already very careful and was looking for ways to contain him, but it was still far from enough.

The endless army of dreamless androids are annihilating the nightmares that have entered reality in different single universes, like powerless fish after being salvaged ashore, and the only safe 'landing point' is Earth 0. Gotham and some parts of Earth Minus 11.

The prey in its hands now is a man with Earth minus 11. This world is ruled by women, so losing sexual ability is definitely a very scary thing for men. It is like being unable to have children in many extremely patriarchal societies. The same thing happened to women.

Here, nightmares are possible, but the world of Earth Minus 11 is just one of the dark universes. Whether it is a story or a dream, it is far worse than the main world of Earth 0, and no matter how you look at it, it smells like a trap.

Other dark universes are strictly guarded, and even those who fell into nightmares for a short time are basically awakened. Deathstroke's methods and troops make Insomniac's scalp numb, and he has to come to Earth Minus 11 to find a breakthrough.

After all, there is still some soil for development here. In other places, the enemy has even shoveled away the land.

But that was just before. Since just now, the speed at which he has lost the Sleepless Knights has begun to be much faster than the speed at which new nightmares are born. In addition, the newly born nightmare is very weak, and it may take a certain amount of time to form a fighting force.

Every second, sleepless knights lose contact, but those knights who disappeared were not killed.

Insomnia stroked the red gem inlaid on his chest, and the stone exuded a faint red light.

With this artifact, it can sense many things. Since those knights used the power of the nightmare stone to help them enter reality, when they die, that power should return automatically.

But not now, those guys are gone with that energy, so they must still be alive, maybe captured.

Who was captured? Death knell? Batman? Sandman?

There are too many possibilities. This is what makes insomnia a little confusing. It feels that its brain is not strong enough. Even if there is no entity in the dream, it feels like its head is going to explode.

Although Insomnia is confident that Sandman will not be his opponent now, but

Just as it was thinking, the newly hatched nightmare crawled towards it on the floor like maggots and rubbed against its legs. Considering that this thing was born in this kind of nightmare, it looked like a powerless creature. 'That thing'.

"Don't bother me!" Insomniac kicked the 'soft worm' away and frowned in disgust: "I want all living beings to become like me, so hurry up and do something for me!"

Regardless of whether the newborn nightmare has that ability or not, Insomnia just wants to vent.

"Sir, sir." The newborn nightmare made a cowardly voice, even though it had no mouth and only a small hole on the soft top: "Maybe they betrayed you? Those guys are very greedy, and like me, they also Just like you."

".Betrayal?"

He didn't expect that one day he would be reminded of the newborn. The expression on Insomniac's face was even more ugly. It had the same appearance as Christopher, but it was as pale as shrunken toilet paper and its eyeballs were covered with bloodshot eyes. This made him It looks even more ferocious.

"Yes, yes, sir." The soft-bodied slug exuded some white mucus, just a little bit, leaving some slippery marks on the floor. It then looked even more shriveled and shrunken: "I will not betray you. , you are my father, but other nightmares must have a disobedient heart."

I have to say that although this new nightmare seems to have little fighting ability, it is quite intelligent. At least it can remind Insomnia to pay attention to some things that it has not paid attention to before.

Insomniac originally thought that with the Nightmare Stone in hand, the Insomniac Knight would fear him like the Sandman, because this is the king's artifact.

But obviously things did not develop as it imagined. It admitted that Slug was right. In addition to the possibility of being arrested, those guys were more likely to have defected and actively cut off contact with themselves.

"You make sense." Insomnia stood up from the sofa, saying words of praise, but suddenly kicked the newborn: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?! Also, do you think I didn't think of it? How dare you laugh at me?!"

I don’t know where it saw people laughing, but it considers itself a king and believes that it has the power of life and death, so whoever it says is laughing must be laughing!

"No! Sir! I don't! Father!" The slug was rolling on the ground in pain, but it gradually showed signs of swelling.

"Huh" breathed out slowly. Insomnia suppressed the murderous intention in its heart. It stroked the gem on its chest, and its figure gradually faded: "Continue working, I will go take a look myself, and I will find those guys back." Come, if it is true as you say, I will let them know the consequences of betraying me!"

After saying that, it left without even taking a second look at the 'Slug', and through the commonality of nightmares and the power of the Nightmare Stone, it arrived in the dream of a certain Gotham citizen on Earth 0.

In this dream, you can see a man dreaming that he is being chased by his colleagues. This dreamer is the clown.

He dreamed of Batman's death in his dream. Since then, he has become an ordinary clerk working in Wayne Group, and his colleagues are all very nice, and they are the most honest Gotham people, with a smile on their face. The kind who smiles but always wants to secretly dismember him and monopolize all the pieces of meat for himself.

A crazy dream, even though the Joker's current dream personality is called Jerome, and he has been saved by Batman once before.

But he wanted Batman to accompany him more instead of playing with others, so he once again took off the bat patch on the back of his head in reality, thus once again becoming a path for nightmares.

The logic is very simple. If you are about to die and the bat comes to save you, then if you are in danger again, the bat will come again. Isn't this back and forth equivalent to playing a game?

Even when he has insomnia, he thinks the Joker is a bit perverted, so why does he have to have Batman accompany him? The relationship between human beings is too complex.
