Everyone dreams.
In your dreams, the world actually revolves around you.
You have whatever you desire.
As long as it aligns with your cognition, anything can happen.
Yet your subconscious self-preservation mechanism won't allow you to dream anything unacceptable.
Du Wei's dreams were not like those of normal people.
His dreams contained a nun.
So in reality, when his dreams were tainted with a curse, they no longer belonged to him.
He lost the power, or rather the permission, to decide his dreams.
In dreams, everything harbored malice toward him.
...
When the sound of a lullaby arose.
"Freddy" appeared outside the autopsy room, wearing a trench coat, exuding terror, with a black top hat still on his head.
No matter how you looked at it, something was amiss.
Freddy had made a deal with Du Wei, to kill Du Wei.
But what the specifics of the deal were had slipped his memory.
Though not an Evil Spirit, he could hardly be called human.
