Lin Ye slowly opens his eyes, he finds that he was no longer in the small wooden house under the holy temple but is now standing in the dark. He was in a tight, claustrophobic alley, he knew that he had fallen into a dream.

This must be in someone else's dream. If he was dreaming himself, it is absolutely impossible to have such clarity. Most dreams are chaotic and hazy. For example, when he had entered his 20s, he dreamt that he was returning to his college entrance examination. He absolutely can't remember anything after the college entrance examination and his focus was only on the papers on the examination table. The thing is that even the questions on the exam paper were indecipherable and confusing.

But entering other people's dreams is different, just like Lin Ye had entered Liz's dreams countless times before. Not only is the consciousness clear, but he can feel pain.

It doesn't seem I am dreaming at all... I guess this is someone else's dream

Obviously before, he needed to touch others while they were asleep to use his ability. It seems that now he can enter someone's dream by just using other people's personal items.

Lin Ye was unsure whether this is a good or bad thing. But he doesn't want to wake up every night in someone else's dream.

Aah, why am I thinking so much? I have to investigate this dream first

Lin Ye is still curious as to who so desperately desired his life.

Lin Ye attempted to discern his location and found that it was futile,

There was no sunlight in this alley, only a dim street lamp. The street lamp was buzzing with flies and mosquitoes. The alley was filled with repulsive garbage and the stench of rotting gnawing away at Lin Ye's nose.

I wasn't expecting sunshine and rainbows, but why does it have to be so dark, sad and putrid? Lin Ye covered his nose and slowly walks into the depths of the alleyway.

The more he walked in, the stronger the odour. When Lin Ye was about to give up enduring it, he finally heard movement. He clung to the wall, covering his body, and then continues shuffling forward. Not long after, He noticed a small figure at the end of the alley, doing something besides a garbage dump and occasionally laughing.

Lin Ye stops.

Is this the owner of this dream? Lin Ye holds his breath and decides to observe the person carefully.

There was a little boy with short white hair.

He is wearing dirty clothes with dark red spots all over him.

"Success! It worked!"

Lin Ye can hear the boy talking to himself, and he can feel his uncontrollable excitement.

Success? What happened? Just when Lin Ye had such a question, he sees the other party cheering and suddenly standing up.

"It worked! I succeeded!" He dances, "I, Mephisto, did it! I have changed my destiny! No longer will I walk the path of normalcy!"

Mephisto? Is this his name?? A series of questions ricochet Lin Ye's head.

While Mephisto was dancing, the garbage dump in front of him shook violently.

What?

Two dark figures sprung from the garbage dump.

Cats? Lin Ye takes a closer look and finds that it is indeed two cats.

Lin Ye asks himself. Is this guy treating these two kittens?

Lin Ye is a little surprised. So, Mephisto ran to the garbage dump to treat the cats who were seriously ill? Does it mean that the treatment was successful? Such a person would be his enemy? Lin Ye felt reluctant to attack him.

Lin Ye, quickly realises that something is wrong.

He carefully observes the two kittens, and then finds that the two kittens have fatal wounds on their bodies, and the bloodstains around the wounds have dried up.

The way they stand and how big the wounds are, it is absolutely impossible for them to be alive.

As a veterinarian, Lin Ye knows this very well. Then he discovers that the state of the two cats is also a bit strange.

After they came out of the garbage dump, they kept a posture, and they are still extremely stiff and rigid. It is absolutely impossible for a normal cat to this. It is almost as if they were dead but standing still. Like some kind of doll.

And the cats' eyes are also tightly closed. At first, Lin Ye thought that they hadn't opened them when they just woke up, but now he realizes that this was not the case.

The two cats really seem to be carved into statues!

No! No! not statues. Statues don't move. These two cats can move, so... Zombie? Did he really turn two dead cats into zombies? Lin Ye's mood suddenly darkened.

Even though he was sick and disgusted by the desecration of cat corpses, Mephisto was just a kid, and though this was an extremely heinous act, He was just a misguided child right? He can't be too angry at him.

Lin Ye holds back his temper and continues to observe.

He sees Mephisto giving instructions to the two zombie cats. The cats are able to accomplish simple commands. And every time they were able to complete a simple action, Mephisto would be ecstatic, cackling like a mad man.

"Okay, it's time to try this out on someone" Mephisto murmurs.

Lin Ye is stunned. Are you going to test with human corpses? If he can do it on the two kittens then, what's to say he can't do it on humans too? But then again, this little boy looks very poor. Where can he find a human corpse?

Just when Lin Ye had such doubts, he sees Mephisto put his hand in his inner pocket of the clothes. Then he takes out a slender machete from it. It is stained with dried blood.

Wait a goddamn minute! A machete?!

Lin Ye is startled.

Wait, why is the size of the knife so similar to the cat's fatal wound?! Could it be..?

Lin Ye suddenly have a terrible theory in his heart, and Mephisto's next action verified this terrible idea.

Mephisto takes out his cell phone and dials a number. When the call connected, he says in a completely different voice from before

"Anna? This is Mephisto. Yes... Yes, I'm at the alley. Do you want to see my results?... Come to the place if you want, and I can let you join in the experiment."

Lin Ye no longer knows what to say because the way Mephisto talks to the other side of the phone is in a gentle tone.

As he was speaking on the phone, he looks at the blood-stained machete. His eyes were filled with excitement completely different from his gentle tone.

Now with that, Lin Ye can be sure. The guy in front of him called Mephisto is not some kind of doctor nor a researcher...

A person named Anna is coming.

Lin Ye felt a chill in his back.

What kind of child is this! His heart is dark and cruel once he grows up, what kind of demon will he become?

No wait, this demon has already grown up and is after his life.

What the hell!

Watching Mephisto sitting in the trash, waiting leisurely for the person named Anna. Lin Ye could not wait to rush in and beat him to death. But he forced himself to calm down. Because he knows very well. If he just rushed out and beat him, even if he killed him, nothing will be changed.

He needed to leave a deep enough scar in his dreams if he wanted to influence him. He must also keep his real identity hidden at all times. If he really wanted to terrify him, he needed the fear of the unknown on his side.

With this thought, Lin Ye lowers his head and began to search around for any useful props. Fortunately, there are piles of garbage everywhere. There are many things that can be used.

Lin Ye first picked a set of dirty robes. He did not know what the original colour of this robe was, but it is now stained black and brown. He drapes it over the body.

But he knows that he is missing something. So, he rolls in the rubbish and pulls out a mask, but the mask is...

A magical girl?! Terra had magical girls?! What the hell?

Lin Ye picks up the mask of a cute girl. Lin Ye was hesitant to use it as a result of this. After all, it didn't help him project the image of evil that he wanted himself to be seen as. However, there were no better substitutes nearby. If he wants to hide his face, he can only use it.

In desperation, Lin Ye could only put "the vigorous smile of a beautiful magical girl" on his face.

After putting it on, he finds another puppet doll. Why are dolls here? Lin Ye was a little puzzled. He took the doll out, only to realize that it was not an ordinary doll. The doll is used excessively, the craftwork is really rough, and there is no face.

Wait, is this mask that he is wearing, the face of the doll? He feels a chill and wanted to throw the doll away, but he feels that it can be used for scaring the living hell out of Mephisto.

So he ties the doll behind him.

Finally, he finds a pair of rusty scissors in the trash can.

Because the experiment went well, Mephisto was in a good mood., he was lying in the garbage dump humming a tune.

He hears some movement from the alley and jumps off the garbage dump.

"Anna, is that you?"

Then he notices a figure approaching him.

"No, Mephisto." The deep voice says, "It's me."
