Mo Qiong heard that David had taken in a Nightmare when he was 10 years old, which was also the first anomaly he had ever taken in.
Originally, Lan Bai She didn't want a child to participate in the process of taking in an anomaly, but at the time, Lan Bai She couldn't do anything to catch the Nightmare, as anyone who approached it would be dragged into the Nightmare's dream to be tortured to death.
Even though the Nightmare was something that existed between reality and illusion, having a powerless but immortal body in the real world, it was still impossible to catch it no matter how hard you tried.
It could definitely cause people to fall asleep, seal off the Nightmare's dream, and control the Nightmare's dream. Even an iron-willed person wouldn't be able to resist the Nightmare within the Nightmare's dream.
The Nightmare could pass through walls, and normal things couldn't touch the Nightmare, only living creatures could touch it.
Seeing the Nightmare running from town to town, David became the only candidate to suppress the Nightmare.
As expected, David completely ignored the Nightmare's hypnosis. The ten-year-old chased the Nightmare all over the small town, rummaging through chests and cabinets, persevering. Finally, with the help of the Blue and White Sniper's long-range beetle bullets, they finally caught the Nightmare under a bed.
Even though the Nightmare was caught, it could still torture anyone who approached it.
After repeated experiments, David found that as long as he bit the Nightmare with all his might, causing it pain, he could wake up and save those who were dragged into the Nightmare's dream.
And so, the Nightmare tortured any Lan Bai She member who approached it in the Nightmare's dream, while David tortured the Nightmare in the real world.
Because only David could do such a thing, the young David had no choice but to live with Nightmare for more than ten years.
During this time, he tried to destroy the Nightmare many times, but failed one after another.
In fact, there were several specific anomalies that could destroy the Nightmare, but only David could bring it close to the target. Because they considered the possibility of sacrificing David, Lan Bai She gave up on the plan to destroy it.
Although the Nightmare was weak, it was immortal, only living creatures could suppress it, but living creatures could also be directly killed by the Nightmare's hypnosis.
Because of this, the only way to raise and educate David was to rely on David suppressing the Nightmare and then inflicting pain on it.
Eat, eat, study, sleep … Ah, he didn't need to sleep, so he was accompanied by the Nightmare almost all day long.
Only during destruction experiments or testing other containment methods would they be separated for a short while.
However, the containment of the Nightmare Lord was inseparable from David.
In order to free up David's hands, the Blue and White Society had tried to imprison the Incubus in the stomach of some large animals. However, without exception, those animals would fall asleep within one second and die within two seconds. Then, the Incubus would be able to pass through the carcass.
In the end, David chose to swallow the Nightmare whole. Using his stomach as a cage for the Nightmare, the Nightmare finally had a stable 'house' that would not lose its ability to contain it.
This situation had persisted until now.
The Nightmare was the size of a baby, but its body was fluffy like a cloud of black fog, like a cotton candy, or like a rubber monster.
Although David felt full after eating, as long as he didn't move around wildly, he wouldn't feel too uncomfortable.
At first, the Nightmare Lord was indeed restless. The two of them hurt and tortured each other. But as David grew day by day, the Nightmare Lord gave up on escaping and settled down in David's stomach.
It seemed to have been trained to have no temper. After it settled down, people who were close to David would no longer be dragged into the dream and tortured to death by it. Thus, it gave David a stable life, allowing him to walk around normally.
The Nightmare Lord accompanied David as he grew up, lived together, and trained together. Year after year, although the Nightmare Lord hated David to death, it didn't cause any trouble anymore. It usually stayed in David's stomach and was very content.
After so many years of contact, David and the Nightmare Lord were very familiar with each other. The Nightmare Lord knew that David couldn't kill it, and it couldn't kill David either.
The two of them accompanied each other day and night. It could be said that no one understood the Nightmare Lord better than David, and no one understood David better than the Nightmare Lord.
Although the Nightmare Lord was very safely housed until now, David had said that he must destroy the Nightmare Lord or find a better way to house it in his lifetime. Because the immortal Nightmare Lord didn't give up its freedom. It was waiting, waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the day David died.
At this moment, David was really using the Nightmare Lord as a brick.
Holding it, he could use it to swing it and hit those things that could be seen but couldn't be touched.
The back in the painting was an existence that couldn't be touched physically. Apart from a super strong electromagnetic field that could barely suppress the back, only certain anomalies could touch it, and the Nightmare Lord was one of them.
The Nightmare Lord could touch all illusory entities, but it could also be manipulated by living creatures, making it the best spiritual brick.
In order to house the back of the painting, he had to redraw it on top of the painting.
This wasn't an easy task, because once the back of the painting appeared, it would always carry the painting on its back. Apart from the corresponding Psychic Resisters, none of the club members here would be able to approach the back of the painting. As soon as they saw it, they would fall into endless fear.
「 Damn it! Let go, I'll help you deal with it! Don't! Bastard! Let go! Let me move! 」 the Nightmare Lord's roar resounded from inside the room.
But David replied: 「 Do you think I'll let go? Don't move, I'll take you to scare a few small animals 」
「 Shut up! You're humiliating me in front of so many people! 」 the Nightmare Lord angrily roared.
「 I'm not, there's only one D-class member here, the others can't see it. But don't shout, they can all hear you 」 David calmly replied.
「 I'll kill them all! 」 the Nightmare Lord declared.
「 Wait until I'm dead 」 David replied.
David messed around in the room for less than a minute before he walked out safely with the Nightmare Lord in hand.
The brown-haired man followed closely behind, holding the painting frame without blinking.
Mo Qiong heaved a sigh of relief, the back of the painting had been easily dealt with by David.
Looking at the others, all of them were calm as usual. Clearly, this wasn't the first time David had dealt with the back of the painting.
Suddenly, an irresistible wave of sleepiness hit them as the Nightmare Lord attacked again.
But immediately, everyone woke up and saw David biting the Nightmare Lord: 「 Don't vent your anger needlessly, it's been so many years, why are you still like a child? 」
「 I'll kill them all! Shut up! I told you not to humiliate me, don't humiliate me! Why won't you listen! 」 the Nightmare Lord roared.
David said helplessly: 「 I didn't. 」
Then, another wave of sleepiness hit them, and they instantly woke up.
The Nightmare Lord kept attacking them, but was interrupted by David again and again.
「 I said, if you dare to humiliate me again, I'll make sure you can't get close to anyone else, day and night, you'll be alone forever, until you die! 」 the Nightmare Lord said angrily.
David stared with his dead fish eyes: 「 I've been sick of hearing such words since I was ten years old. 」
Seeing that everyone was still in a half-awake state, David hurriedly stared at the back of the painting.
At the same time, he said calmly: 「 Alright, it won't happen again. 」
「 You say that every time! 」 the Nightmare Lord didn't stop.
Seeing this, David frowned: 「 Do you want to die? 」
「 You can't kill me! I'm immortal! 」 the Nightmare Lord said contemptuously.
David said: 「 I know, I'm just asking if you want to die or not … 」
「 I can't kill you, but I can beat you until you want to die … Are we going to start hurting each other again? Nightmare … 」
