Nightmare system?

What was a nightmare system?

[Nightmare System, when starting the system, you can control the dream of the designated person.]

The system seemed to know what Qi Le’an was thinking and answered automatically.

Qi Le’an opened his mouth and couldn’t help asking, “Who are you?”

[I am the system.]

The voice replied again.

Qi Le’an felt it was a little absurd, he was not only reborn? But he got a system that could control other people’s dreams?

[You have not been bound yet, so you do not have permission to operate the system for the time being.

Binding? How did the binding work?

This time, the nightmare system was silent, and after two or three seconds, Qi Le’an suddenly felt pain in his head, and then a large amount of information poured into his mind.

This system was called the Nightmare System, as long as he relied on this gadget, he could control other people’s dreams. The energy to maintain the operation of the system was the negative emotion brought by nightmares to the manipulated. The greater this emotion, the stronger the nightmare system’s ability.

The stronger the dream, the more horrible and complicated it would be, and the more negative emotions it would absorb … thus falling into an unbeaten cycle.

Once the system was started, there was no way to stop it. If the nightmares couldn’t be woven within the specified time, the host would have nightmares to provide energy for the system.

Qi Le’an had little hesitation but still chose to be bound to the system.

Dreams were always frightening. He had been reborn back to the age of 15. He was no longer the little white rabbit of that year. If he had this system, he could make those who bullied him fall into nightmares!

After the binding, Qi Le’an fell into a deep sleep. He didn’t sleep well that night. His dream was filled with strange things. When he woke up, it was nearly 7 o’clock.

The trainees of Guangyao Entertainment company were usually children under the age of 18. They were “sold” into Guangyao Entertainment, they signed unequal contracts, and worked day and night to become stars. These trainees had only two days of reunion with their families each month, and they would conduct various training sessions at other times. This morning was a cultural lesson and the afternoon was a professional lesson.

These children were usually divided by the time they entered the company. There were only 30 students in a class, and every two students had a dormitory. A head teacher would take full charge of all their affairs.

Qi Le ‘an’s head teacher, surnamed Li, was once an agent, but was later assigned to be a teacher because he offended a senior official. Mr. Li was very good at aligning with Le’ an. The most important thing in the class was Qi Le’an who had no father or mother.

If Qi Le’an, who had such a background, became popular, who could he rely on but his teacher? When the time came, Mr. Li might be able to return to being an agent with the help of Qi Le ‘an.

Qi Le’an couldn’t see through it in his last life. He only felt that Mr Li was as kind to him as a father. After being robbed of the role by Yan Lang, Teacher Li’s earth-shaking changes towards him also made him unhappy for a long time. In his life …

Qi Le ‘an sneered, quickly wore the trainee’s uniform, then gave himself a clever hairstyle and went out of the dormitory.

After his parents’ death, Qi Le’an became timid and sensitive. He didn’t make any friends after coming to Guangyao Entertainment for three years. Fortunately, he was kind and no one in the class teased him. Basically, he was a little transparent.

This morning classes were Chinese and English, plus a big vocal lesson. As long as the trainees of Guangyao Entertainment were related to “entertainment”, they had to learn every aspect.

*Morning reading is a voice practice, everyone in groups of 3322, very lively.*

As soon as Qi Le ‘an entered the classroom, Yan Lang waved at him and said, “An! Here!”

Sure enough, all the plots were the same as in his previous life.

Qi Le’an walked over and sat down beside Yan Lang, pretending to be flattered. Yan Lang was very gentle, rich and popular in his class. Although he shared a dormitory with Yan Lang, they were not close at ordinary times.

Yan Lang was really satisfied with Qi Le ‘an’s expression and gave Qi Le’ an a box of yogurt with a smile.

Qi Le’an took it and slightly lowered his head. Yan Lang thought he was touched, so he was even happier.

Half way through the morning class, the head teacher, Mr Li, came in. He glanced at the students below and said with a smile: “Boys and girls, I have something to announce.”

Qi Le ‘an noticed Yan Lang sitting up straight.

“Tomorrow, a director will come to our class for a casting. The information will be sent to you later. I hope you will show your best and cherish this opportunity.”

Saying that, Mr Li focused on Qi Le’an.

The students in the class all made excited comments. After all, this was the first time in three years that a director had come for a casting. It was an opportunity!

“All right, Qi Le’an, come up and share the information.” Teacher Li added.

Others didn’t think much. Teacher Li usually liked to ask Qi Le ‘an to do some things. However, Qi Le’ an jumped in his heart. If it was true, the director of “Cut the Demon Record” must be watching secretly outside now!

He went to the desk, politely took the information from Mr. Li and handed it out to the students.

A common action, but a lot more devout than in his previous life.

Mr Li soon left the classroom, and the students’ discussion became louder, while Qi Le’an took the information in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The role chosen by the director this time was the spirit beast of the main character in the play. It was like a pet and a friend. It was timid and clever, with low IQ but loyal to its master. There were many opportunities to show up, and finally he gave his life to protect his master.

This role! It had to be his!

As his mind wandered, the time passed quickly, and the cultural lesson passed in a blink. Yan Lang asked him to dinner at noon, but he refused on the grounds that he was not feeling well.

Yan Lang certainly didn’t think that the always honest Qi Le’an was cheating him, so he had to go with little regret.

After returning to the dormitory, the first thing Qi Le’an’s did was to find Yan Lang’s comb at his desk.

After finding a hair from the comb, Qi Le’an wrapped it in toilet paper satisfactorily and put it in his drawer before going out to eat.

The trainees of Guangyao Entertainment were quite independent. As long as they passed the examination, the company would uniformly give their families a sum of money and indicate that their food would be covered for the next few years. Parents happily took the money and then signed a 20-year contract, selling their children to the company.

They ate, lived together and wore the same uniform. It didn’t seem to make any difference, but in fact there were still some.

Take eating as an example. The company provided very few meals. It was reputed to keeping their trainees fit. But it happened that as long as a trainee had money, he could have more food, which was hard for Qi Le’an who had no money.

He knew clearly how much money he had, and it was the norm not to have enough to eat on weekdays.

However, he was also grateful that he did not have enough to eat this meal. Was it not because of his thin body that the director finally noticed him?

The afternoon class was physical education. Everyone wore the sports uniforms to the physical education class. The physical education teacher did not change much as usual, but the students all became hard-working.

They thought that they could be selected if they worked hard.

After class was over, Teacher Li made the usual summary of the day. The company regarded them as sharp tools for making money, which was, of course, a strict requirement for them. This daily summary was a summary of what everyone had done badly , what needed improvement, and if the situation was serious, they would be punished.

Qi Le’an was a good boy. This kind of criticism had nothing to do with him. After summing up, Mr. Li left him behind.

“An, have a meal with the teacher today.” Mr Li said gently, his face was covered with joy.

Qi Le ‘an pretended to be flattered and said, ” … Teacher?”

Mr Li’s smile grew stronger and he said, “Let’s go. Director Cui wants to get to know you.”

Qi Le’an’s eyes went wide, filled with surprise.

The expression was very normal, Teacher Li nodded happily.

Guangyao Entertainment was an entertainment company that cultivated future stars. Although the uniform of the trainees were the same, it was essentially different from ugly uniforms.

Qi Le’an’s uniform, though it was a common school uniform for summer, it had a British school style and looked very beautiful.

Director Cui really liked Qi Le’an, who wore uniform even for meals. He thought the child was very clever. Qi Le’an showed a little shyness which made Director Cui laugh.

This was simply the restoration of human design! Anyway, this spirit beast was stupid, even if the boy couldn’t act, it didn’t matter!

Director Cui was very satisfied and Teacher Li was very happy. When sending Qi Le ‘an back to the dormitory, he patted Qi Le’an on the shoulder.

After Qi Le’an returned to the dormitory, Yan Lang immediately cornered him.

“An! Why did you come back so late?” Yan Lang had a worried expression.

What did he say in his last life? In his last life, he said that he had a meal with Mr Li.

That was really good.

Qi Le’an smiled and said, “I went to the playground for a walk.”

Yan Lang smiled and complemented Qi Le ‘an a few times, then casually took out a bottle of lemonade and said: “I found this delicious when I ate tonight. I brought it back specially for you. Please try it quickly!”

Finally!

He had been waiting for this bottle of lemonade all day!

It was this cup of lemonade that made him miss his first role.

Qi Le ‘an quietly accepted the lemonade and said to Yan Lang, “Thank you! I’ll keep it for tomorrow morning!”

If he remembered correctly, the efficacy of this lemonade started that night. He collapsed the next morning and even didn’t even think about going to an audition.

Although Yan Lang wanted him to drink quickly, he could not act too suspicious. However, he knew that Qi Le’an would not waste anything so he would just watch him drink the lemonade tomorrow morning.

At the thought of it, Yan Lang was very happy and went to bed.

After showering, Qi Le’an put the lemonade on the table between the two beds, and then took out the hair wrapped in toilet paper from the drawer.
