I! Cleaner!-Chapter 442 - 380: Dream Wandering Lantern (Part 2)

Is this... is this still the Kingdom’s capital?

With astonished expressions on their faces, centered around the Dream Wandering Lantern in the female reporter’s hand, the war-torn capital quickly faded away, and a bizarre and strange world rapidly unfolded.

The original "skyline" of the capital was suddenly elevated by a significant margin. Towering buildings with no brick and stone joints stood like giants in the city’s center. Large glass facades extended from the base of the skyscrapers all the way to their tops, reflecting an exceptionally dazzling brilliance under the sunlight.

Not only the buildings were "elevated," but the original streets of the capital were also significantly widened and raised. Some even directly rose from the ground, transforming into bridges that frequently crossed the bustling, wide streets...

What about the palace? What has the palace become?

Not forgetting his objective, after the initial shock, the old Investigator squinted and looked towards the location of the palace.

In contrast to these bizarre yet seemingly practical tall buildings, the palace, once one of the highest points in the capital, had become relatively low.

Except for the central main part which was retained, most of the low-lying auxiliary buildings were leveled, and evergreen trees were planted, with many tourists wandering among them. As for how he knew those people were tourists...

"It’s too fake."

After glancing at the palace entrance, at the dozens of metal booths labeled "Ticket Office," the old Investigator couldn’t help but shake his head, drawing his gaze back from the distance.

"The imagination is not bad, but how could a palace be open as a park, where anyone can enter as long as they buy a ticket? Even if the Kingdom were destroyed, such a ridiculous situation wouldn’t happen.

Hurry up and take me to find the owner of this dream, kick him out of the Dream Wandering Lantern. In a few more hours, the Demonic Soul Abyss is going to descend. Don’t delay the important business!"

"Okay, I’ll look for it."

After responding, the female reporter held up the lantern and scanned around the two of them. As she did so, the tiny red dot at the center of the lantern’s cover flickered on and off.

How strange...

Looking at the flickering red dot within the lantern, the female reporter’s brow couldn’t help but furrow slightly.

Based on past experience with using the Dream Wandering Lantern, the lantern light would spontaneously point towards the dream’s owner, and the closer to the owner’s position, the brighter the "light" would become.

But this time was different. No matter which direction she pointed the lantern, the brightness of the light was roughly the same, and it jumped upwards subconsciously...

Wait! Upwards?!

Noticing the direction in which the "light" was jumping, the female reporter quickly walked to the edge of the clock tower and leaned forward to look at the sky blocked by the clock tower roof.

"What is this?!!!"

Hearing the female reporter’s involuntary exclamation, the old Investigator frowned, also leaned forward, looked up, and was utterly shocked to discover a gigantic human face looking down at the capital from above, its two black eyes already locked firmly on him.

Is that... Leon?

...

It seems they’re the ones spying on Joshua’s dream!

Sweeping through his dream again and again and finally identifying the intruders, Leon narrowed his eyes and looked down at the two somewhat familiar figures.

Acting as Joshua’s guard is out of the question, not in this lifetime. For his cheap brother-in-law, seeing him attacked without kicking him secretly can already be considered professional ethics.

As for why he wasn’t planning to take care of Joshua yet still took the trouble to sleep in his room...

One reason was the overwhelming "warm invitation" from the princess. Ever since last time, the way she looked at him was as if they were an old couple. If he stayed any longer, he might really lose his virtue. The other reason was that Joshua’s dream was extremely valuable.

The curse of the King of Nightmares on the royal bloodline would make an older Joshua constantly relive his life in his dreams and "synchronize" this nightmare to the present-day Joshua.

So, as long as he used the Lust Dream Invader to enter Joshua’s dream, it was as if he were peering into part of the future. How could he miss such an opportunity?

With the intention of peeking into the future, after the Prince Freckles fell asleep, having patiently chatted with him for quite a while to set up the preconditions for the Lust Dream Invader, Leon easily infiltrated his nightmare.

However, before Leon could glimpse into the future, a power of the same origin connected with Joshua’s dream, firmly fixing the ever-changing scenes in the capital.

Naturally, when faced with the sudden appearance of unknown observers, Leon became alert at once, trying to disguise his presence while observing what the other party intended to do.

But apart from "locking" Joshua’s dream and forcefully fixing the scene in the capital to prevent any location change, the observers conducted no further interference. And, vaguely, it seemed there were countless similar scenes being forcibly pieced together by some power.

So, is the other party capturing dreams related to the "capital"?

After vaguely sensing the invaders’ general intent, feeling that continuing to "watch" wouldn’t reveal their true purpose, Leon withdrew from Joshua’s dream.

Then, after setting out a black goat beside him and instructing it to forcibly wake him if it detected anything unusual with his soul, Leon targeted himself and activated the Lust Dream Invader, creating a dream also related to the "capital."

Sure enough, after fulfilling the "key words," the dream Leon created for himself was also summoned and stitched onto a huge combined dream.

And just as Leon wanted to use this as a springboard to see what exactly the other party was doing, he was surprised to discover a strange fluctuation penetrating Joshua’s dream, wandering around, then astonishingly moving towards his dream...

This is my dream! How dare you come directly in?

Discovering that the other party had come knocking, Leon naturally wouldn’t do nothing. He promptly revised the hastily constructed dream, added a series of "character settings" for himself, and patiently awaited the other’s arrival.

Before long, the strange fluctuation bypassed the other dreams, circled around a few times, and cautiously burrowed into his dream, peeking around.

Once he followed the fluctuation and found the invader’s location, seeing the two dim figures shrouded under the lantern’s light below, Leon, who had been prepared, controlled his giant body, comparable to an Ultraman, and reached down towards the clock tower.

Since you’re here, stay!
