It is certainly true that Nightmare’s substitute is powerful.

No matter speed, strength, or control, there are no shortcomings, let alone its special composition will not cause mapping damage to the substitute messenger.

From this perspective, Nightmare can be regarded as a perfect stand-in without flaws.

But from another perspective, the characteristics of the ability of the stand-in do not really value these basic attributes. These attributes are powerful, but for the stand-in, the most important thing is always the almost unique ability - the magical ability reflected by the heart image of the stand-in messenger!

The ability of nightmare seems to be a lot, such as emotional manipulation, memory invasion, life sensing, etc., but in fact, these are just different manifestations of one ability.

The ability of a nightmare is to enter a dream, but this dream is not just a dream in the usual sense, but a more mysterious subconscious, which can achieve the above abilities by entering the subconscious of a creature.

If not, wouldn’t nightmare’s ability be effective until others fall asleep?

Since this ability is called dreaming, there is of course a reason. Although it can also activate the ability when a person is awake, in fact, this ability will still be greatly affected when a person is awake, both in terms of degree and efficiency.

Nightmare's ability has such "flaws", so it's not wrong to say that he is "weak".

However, the battle between stand-ins is never just a competition of stand-ins ability, but also a confrontation of wisdom between stand-ins messengers, whether it is to see through the defects of the other party's ability or to create moments that suit your stand-ins' activation ability.

This is true for Selma and so is Zhang Xiao.

Under Zhang Xiao's "indulgence", Selma activated his last trump card, trying to die together, but this is also the best time to launch a nightmare ability created by Zhang Xiao!

"Nightmare, let me see her memory!"

The disappearing nightmare suddenly appeared behind Zhang Xiao. It turned out that the black fog surrounding Mr. Glass was not the essence of the nightmare, or in other words, the thing is just a little nightmare now, with only a vague black line connected to the increasingly brighter and less black fog.

However, at this time, Selma could not see these. Not only did the violent radiation pain fill her mind, but the power of the nightmare also invaded her subconscious at this time.

Selmaco is different from those in the jojo world before. She has not been able to get a stand-in for a long time and has good development of stand-in, but apart from that, she is just an ordinary person. Faced with the invasion of nightmare, she not only has no protection, but she doesn't even notice it, and she doesn't know anything.

At this time, Zhang Xiao's consciousness also entered Selma's subconscious with the help of the power of nightmare.

In an instant, Zhang Xiao came to a completely unfamiliar place.

It was a huge room, or a palace, it was not an exaggeration, magnificent, full of exquisite carvings and works of art.

Zhang Xiao just took a brief look and recognized a lot of antiques. These things were valuable things decades later.

However, Zhang Xiao just took a look and shook his head. It was not that he realized that the things here were all fake, but that he quickly got rid of the erosion of Selma's subconscious and remembered his identity and purpose.

"Um... did you enter the core immediately? Even I was affected." Zhang Xiao shook his head, calmed down, then looked at the heart in front of him, and sighed, "It's really beyond my expectations that such a heart is like the world."

Zhang Xiao never stopped developing nightmare. Although it didn't take long, he had a deep understanding of nightmare's abilities. With this, Zhang Xiao also had a very good understanding of the subconscious mind of creatures.

The subconsciousness of human beings is manifested in the outside world, which is a dream and a sense of déjà vu. More specifically, the human brain passively receives but blocks most of the "useless" information. This is a kind of protection, a measure for human beings to ensure normal self-consciousness, and can be said to be an immune ability.

This is not only internally but also externally. Unless there is an unconscious coma or a dying person, anyone's subconscious immunity is never interrupted.

Moreover, unlike the time scale of human main consciousness, time in human subconscious has completely different flow rates. The deeper it goes into the subconscious, the larger the time system, and it will almost never flow where the time is.

The difference in the flow rate of time is a subconscious immunity method. Whether it is internal forgetting or external addiction, time is always the best weapon.

This is exactly why Zhang Xiao was confused just now. Although he seemed to be confused for a moment, it was actually because of the huge change in the flow rate of time that his consciousness was almost assimilated.

Not only that, in addition to the weapon of time, another weapon of the subconscious is the weapon of space - the world of mind; the world of mind is another method of immunity of the subconscious. To put it more specifically, this is a sinister maze without any explanation.

The mind is like the world, which is made up of the memory of the conscious master, but this piece of composition is not carried out by the will of the conscious master, but is freely exerted by the subconscious mind. However, the subconscious itself is not a normal and rational consciousness. It is a wild beast with only instincts. In addition to actively protecting the conscious master, it is full of innocent malice towards everything.

Just as a child crushes ant and claps his hands and screams, all the behavioral basis of the subconscious mind is interesting. For example, when you open the door normally, you enter the room. In the world of mind, it will become a guillotine because of a movie that the owner of the consciousness once opened, or on a dirty ground, the only clean position is covered with invisible invincible super glue...

Of course, these are not a big problem for Zhang Xiao, who has nightmares. The ability of nightmares can only slightly affect others in the real world, but in the subconscious world, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a god.

However, nightmare is not a god, even in the subconscious, so although sinister cannot resist nightmare, the maze attribute of the heart like the world is also something that nightmare has no way to do with it.

Therefore, the key to the problem still needs to be found, but it is not easy to find what you want in a disordered mind like the world. Even if the mind like the world is everything, it is tangible and physical - whether it is memory, consciousness or experience.

But the place in front of me is completely different and has nothing to do with disorder. Instead, it is like reality. Not only is everything in order, but it is even too fine.

"Is the near-realistic mind like the world...?" Zhang Xiao didn't think this would be a coincidence, "or is this actually a realistic reflection engraved in the subconscious?"

This certainly facilitates Zhang Xiao’s process of finding him, but this is not all good news, because the world of mind is not only things, but also "people".

"Since this place can be remembered by Selma, even the subconscious mind has fully realized everything here... It is really unlikely to say that there is no one in this place."

When a person remembers a place, it is often not because the place itself is not beautiful, but because what happened in that place, people in that place, or both.

Zhang Xiao doesn’t know yet, so he can only take one step at a time.

After a little identification, Zhang Xiao found that this palace-like room seemed to be just a hall. This place seemed to be a castle. There were doors that looked similar on the walls of the hall. If the scene behind the door was also so "normal", then there should be corridors connecting different rooms.

However, Zhang Xiao just stayed in front of each door for a while before leaving, without opening any door because he found that there was a staircase connecting the second floor behind the hall, and there was no door there.

Compared to those closed doors, Zhang Xiao still chose the stairs that he could see at a glance.

More importantly, if this is really a castle, the second and third floors will be the owner's living room and study. The memories he is looking for may be in those places.

Da, da, da, da,

But just as Zhang Xiao stepped on the stairs, the sound of his shoes stepping on the stairs also came from his ears, but that was definitely not his own voice.

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but look up, but found... he had returned to the next level at some point.
