"You saw me?" Sunders was surprised.
Angor nodded. He then told Sunders everything that happened after he met young Sunders. From the blue giant, to fighting young Sunders, and how he was saved by a giant mouth for no reason.
Sunders already had some guesses when he saw the dagger and the short staff. Now that Angor told him about it, his theory was confirmed. He took a deep breath and said, "I always thought the Nightmare Realm could only project dead objects. I didn't know it could also project living creatures."
Sunders recalled his experience in the Nightmare Realm. Almost every time he met a monster, he never encountered a human. He always thought the Nightmare Realm only projected dead objects from a certain time period. He never thought that the Nightmare Realm could project living creatures as well!
If that was the case, could dead people be projected as well? Did this count as another form of resurrection?
Sunders had another question. If young Sunders was not killed by the Witch's Eye, would he be able to meet young Sunders again? Would there be some kind of time paradox when the two "selves" met?
Sunders thought about many things. Until now, he had a deeper understanding of the Nightmare Realm. The outer area of the Nightmare Realm was already so mysterious. What would happen in the inner area and the core area of the Nightmare Realm? Was there really a dead soul living in some corner of the Nightmare Realm with a strange identity?
Angor saw that Sunders was thinking, so he did not disturb him. After a while, Sunders sighed and said, "The Nightmare Realm is really a strange place. The deeper you go, the less you understand it."
Angor felt the same. It was his second time here, but the mysteries of the Nightmare Realm still made him shudder.
"Teacher, when I was fighting with … you when you were young, I was almost killed when a giant mouth swallowed me. Was that a monster too? "Angor asked.
Sunders shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe. It wanted to save you, which means it didn't want you to die here. So you either have a special talent, or your identity … "
Angor knew what Sunders meant even though he did not finish the sentence. He always thought he was just lucky. But judging from all the details, there seemed to be a mysterious power helping him. Compared to Sunders who had to fight all the way here, Angor's journey was more like a relaxing excursion. Even if he ran into young Sunders, the "giant mouth" would help him. Even when he ran into a Witch's Eye, the monster only screamed and ran away. Angor did not encounter any danger along the way except for the wall.
Sunders suddenly thought of something. He looked at Angor and said, "You saw me flying? I'm talking about the younger me. "
Angor nodded. When he fought against young Sunders, the man was fighting in the air just like him. However, Angor felt that young Sunders' flying skills were not perfect. Otherwise, how could he not catch up with Angor?
After receiving an affirmative answer, Sanders suddenly fell silent.
"Strange. I lost my memory of the first time I entered the Nightmare Realm, and Angor met my younger self again. More importantly, he saw me flying … "Sunders pondered for a while.
A moment later, Sunders seemed to have figured something out. "So the young me you met was me when I entered the Nightmare Realm for the first time."
"When you first came to the Nightmare Realm?" Angor repeated with a doubtful tone.
"As for why I'm so sure, there are two reasons." "First, when we enter the Nightmare Realm, some mysterious power will interfere with our brain temporarily. Sometimes, it will block a part of your memory, sometimes it will add a new memory, sometimes it will make you lose a certain emotion, sometimes it will amplify a certain emotion, and so on. There are many ways to go about this. When I entered the Nightmare Realm this time, I lost a part of my memory. This memory … "
"The memory of when you first came to the Nightmare Realm?" Angor asked.
Sunders nodded. "That's right. I don't think the Nightmare Realm can create a person out of thin air. The young me you met must be the me in the memory I lost."
"It sounds awkward, but it does seem to make sense. But you said some mysterious power will interfere with our brain. Why didn't I feel anything? "Angor asked.
Sunders shrugged. "Maybe you've lost your memory too. But it's something insignificant, like the food you ate on a certain day, the dream you had at night, or the wind you blew in a certain year. These uninteresting memories won't affect you even if you lose them. "
"Oh." Angor was a little doubtful, but he still agreed.
"Back to the topic. There's another reason why I said you met me when I first came to the Nightmare Realm." He paused and looked at Angor again. "We'll talk about your talent then."
"My talent?" Wasn't he talking about young Sunders? Why did he talk about me? Angor was puzzled.
"As you can see, young Sunders can fly, just like you. The reason is that when I first came to the Nightmare Realm, I also entered as a soul. "
As a soul? Angor quickly looked up at Sunders.
"I know you've been wanting to ask me why I took you as my student." Sunders patted Angor's shoulder. "It's not complicated. Your talent is exactly the same as mine when I was young."
My talent is the same as mine when I was young? Angor understood what he meant. So Sunders' talent was different from his teacher's?
"Our innate talent is actually a very special kind of innate talent. It's not recorded in books. Maybe there were people who had similar talents in history, but they didn't even know they had them. Until the Nightmare Realm appeared hundreds of years ago, when I accidentally entered it and realized how special it was.
"I call it the Nightmare Soul Body."
…
Nightmare Form was the name Sunders gave himself.
The so-called Nightmare Entity referred to the natives of the Nightmare Realm.
There was no passage that led directly to the wizarding world. To enter the Nightmare Realm, one needed more luck than strength. However, Nightmare Form could create a semi-passage that connected to the Nightmare Realm due to its special nature. Just like the natives of the Nightmare Realm, they could come and go at any time.
"Using your soul to enter the Nightmare Realm is the characteristic of a Nightmare Form. Souls can fly in the Nightmare Realm. That's why when I heard your story in Barbie's Restaurant, I knew you're the Nightmare Form I've been looking for for a long time. "
"You've been looking for a long time? Aren't you a Nightmare Form too, professor? "Angor wondered.
"You'll find out soon enough." Sunders continued to talk about the "semi-passage". "When a soul enters the Nightmare Realm, as long as it establishes a connection with the Nightmare Realm, it can use this connection to re-enter the Nightmare Realm. This is the so-called semi-passage. "
The "semi-passage" sounded familiar to Angor as if he had heard of it before. Angor pondered for a while and suddenly remembered something. "A primer to enter the Nightmare Realm?"
"You remember now? That's right. This semi-passage is the primer to enter the Nightmare Realm. The wound on your soul's back is the primer. You can consider it as an unformed semi-passage. "
"So you're saying a semi-tunnel can be created if someone's soul is injured in the Nightmare Realm?" Angor wondered. That sounded like child's play.
"You can think of it that way. But the wound on your soul is actually a coordinate to the Nightmare Realm. There are other steps to create the semi-passage. When you're strong enough, I'll tell you about them. "
