Ke Meng had finished shooting the honey video, but he did not upload it to B Site.

When he slept that night, Boss Ke was staring at the marine creatures of the City of R’lyeh. There was no sacrificial ceremony today.

However, Boss Ke had a strange feeling. There seemed to be someone experiencing the dreamland that He altered somewhere He could not see.

Ke Meng tried his best to capture the faint feeling. Very soon, His thought was fleeting, and He saw a blurry dream.

No, there were two dreams.

Both of them took place in a blue ocean. The sun hung high, releasing eternal light and heat.

A female player was floating on the ocean surface, respectively, in both dreams. They drank ocean water and sank. They either died of suffocation or were eaten by ferocious marine creatures. Their deaths were devastating.

Ke Meng was not an evil person, so becoming Boss Ke was not His intention. Torturing innocent players seemed to be a little too much. After all, they did not threaten Ke Meng now.

‘How do I dismiss the dreams?’ Ke Meng thought to himself. He was attempting to control where the dreams would go so that the two girls would not feel as much pain.

Ke Meng activated the Dream Distortion skill. A notification popped up from the system saying that the skill was unavailable. The reason being He did not invade their dreams, whereby he was currently sensing through another realm.

Ke Meng scanned through his skills. He found the description of Synesthetic Skill in his passive skills.

“Synesthesia is a powerful sensing technique. You can sense the object’s information through the connection between you and the object. The closer the connection you have with the object, the higher the success rate, and the clearer the image you would sense.”

Since the two girls were in the dream Ke Meng had altered, their connection was naturally close. Ke Meng was the Ultimate Boss, so He could sense the duo’s pain in the dream.

After understanding the theory, Ke Meng used the Synesthetic Skill to enter their dreams.

He could see a clearer image since entering. It was no longer an image that had a layer of gray dots.

Due to His invasion, a huge change happened to the sky above the dreams. Dark clouds covered the sky, forming an indescribable cloud of mist.

Before the revived girls in the ocean lifted their heads, they had already felt a mental pressure.

The over ten times of death had extremely weakened the duo’s minds. Now there was a terrifying monster appearing above. They dared not lift their heads to look above at all.

Ke Meng did not plan to speak. An evil god’s speech came with harm, and players with low levels could not understand what He was saying. It would be just like those dog-headed people who had almost gone insane back then.

Dream Distortion!

He exhausted a player’s mental power to create the dream in His last Dream Distortion.

Since spreading the dream to the other four players, Ke Meng had stopped altering the dream.

At the same time of sensing the two girls’ mental exhaustion, they were providing Him with new usable mental power to proceed with the dream alteration.

Ke Meng imagined a big whale in his head. He turned a layer of flesh in the whale’s stomach hard, and it became a concrete floor.

A reinforced concrete building appeared out of the ground, while farmland appeared in the city’s suburbs.

A green fast-developing bud was growing out of the ground. Its branches became thicker, and it soon grew into a tree. More green buds were growing quickly and spreading out in the same form.

Soon, the surrounding of the building had turned into a jungle.

Since there was a jungle, wild animals were required. Otherwise, there was no source of meat.

In the next second, many wild animals got out of the soul in the jungle.

A well got out of the ground next to the farmland. Endless ocean water could be retrieved from the well. Boss Ke believed the players to be intelligent enough to find a way to purify the ocean water themselves.

Boss Ke scanned through the big whale’s insides and looked at the farmland, growing all sorts of vegetables in the field.

Subsequently, he gave a simple order to the big whale. He asked it to look for the victims, who had fallen into the ocean and use its huge mouth to swallow them so that they could live a safe life in its stomach.

The dream was made for people. If the people who dreamed had a mental breakdown, the dream would collapse or be awakened by an external force.

Ke Meng faded quietly, as it was suitable for Him to stay here. Watching alone was torturous to the low-level creatures. He would cause a mental burden on them if he stayed.

The ocean dream became normal again since Boss Ke left.

The two girls were revived again. The immense pain of death was killing their hope to live slowly.

Without the virtual reality game’s system list, everything seemed like reality. They even thought they had transmigrated to another world.

However, not only had they not transmigrated, but they were also reviving endlessly. It was just too torturous to them mentally. They were not hardcore players, to begin with. They were collapsing after being tortured for over ten times now.

When they saw the ocean surface rumble and rise to the sky in the same dream, a gigantic shadow came pouring from the sky. The screen turned black.

Endless ocean water washed them into a gigantic, black mouth. They were flowing with the waves and had no idea where they would go.

At that moment, they woke up from the dream.

“Your deep sleep has ended. You’ve rested for three hours, zero minutes and zero seconds.”

White Milk opened her eyes in exhaustion and saw the ceiling in the game world. The system’s notification was so kind to her.

“I’m back?” White Milk spoke very slowly. A while later, she could finally focus when she looked.

There was no ocean water everywhere, nor were there any big sharks that would eat her. There was no terrifying feeling that would come and go all of a sudden. There was no danger here.

At that moment, she loved the sense of security. Nothing was more comfortable than being safe.

As her brain was getting clearer, she no longer wanted to stay in the game. She got the system list out and clicked the logout button.

“You’re logging out…”

The screen before her eyes turned black, and her consciousness returned to reality.

At the same time, the other girl, Lingering Sweetness, did the same thing. She chose to return to reality, as she did not want to stay in the game for even one second.

To them, the game that felt like reality was a huge scam. They never wanted to go back.

However, what they did not know was that Boss Ke’s nightmare could be disseminated.
