Chapter 1248: Justice Farm (Thirty)_1

"About... I can't quite remember how long ago, I was flying in the skies of Metropolis in my dream, just as I used to do with Clark, when suddenly a black cat fell on top of my head and knocked me to the ground."

"I was scared out of my wits, but found that it had deep wounds on its chest and forepaws and was bleeding profusely. I rushed to bandage it and only then realized that it was my friend Bat Cat from reality."

"There was a time when we didn't get along so well, but then I found out that it was a tough talker but a tender heart, and we became great friends. When I saw my friend was hurt, I got angry and kept asking who had done this to it."

"Initially, it didn't want to tell me, but I kept asking, and it then told me the truth about the dream world. Only then did I realize that beneath the consciousness of humans in the real world lies a world woven from the dreams of every creature."

"All along, I've wanted to fight crimes and uphold justice just like Clark, but I also know that I'm a dog. If I fly up and give a criminal a spinning kick, that would be too astonishing. It may also get Clark into trouble."

"When I first found out about this, I was overjoyed, thinking that my longing for justice could finally be realized. But delving deeper into the dream world, I realized things weren't that simple."

"The situation in the dream world is complicated with many terrifying creatures. Darkness is constantly corroding this place and posing threats to the safety of the city dwellers. I think Clark is busy enough upholding justice in the real world, so I decided to take on the responsibility here, where I could also fight crimes."

"In the process of protecting the dream world, Bat Cat and I fought alongside each other. We became great friends, but it never wanted to tell me who had injured it."

"However, a while ago, I found a lead – someone had set off an explosion in Cat City Gotham. When Bat Cat and I arrived, all we saw was a shadow."

"Its speed was extremely fast, and even with my super-vision, I could only catch a blurry shadow. I tried to pursue it, but I couldn't keep up. Moreover, it seemed to be able to traverse freely through the dream world using this power."

"Once when it landed, I saw it had just crossed over from someone's dream. It was then that I understood the severity of the situation. It's very likely that he's using other people's dreams to disturb their actions. That's extremely dangerous!"

Little Kryptonite slumped his ears, wrinkled his nose, and said with a hint of depression: "I do not have the ability to seamlessly traverse the dream world as he does, and therefore, can't catch up with him. I originally wanted to find Clark, but fretted that the mysterious shadow could affect Clark's dream."

"I don't even dare to find Clark for fear that the shadow might track down to Clark via my footprints. If Clark gets influenced, then all would be lost!"

Professor Shiller squatted down and gazed into Little Kryptonite's eyes, "Are you sure there's only one shadow?"

Little Kryptonite, a bit confused, nodded and said, "I've only seen one shadow… Wait, Professor, do you know who he is?"

Professor Shiller squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, then stroked Little Kryptonite's head, "Don't worry, someone should be coming soon to explain all this."

With that, Professor Shiller emphatically rubbed Little Kryptonite's back which made it feel comfortable and lie down. Shiller sat down and placed his hand on Little Kryptonite's head, "Haven't you realized yet that your anxiety has started to affect your control over your powers?"

Little Kryptonite momentarily paused, rested its head on its forepaw, and whimpered a little sadly."

Professor Shiller used a human therapy method to soothe Little Kryptonite's emotion. Initially, he thought it might be difficult since dogs and humans are different species and would think differently. However, it turned out that a dog's thoughts are much more straightforward than a human's and, in no time, Little Kryptonite's emotions have calmed down."

Just when Professor Shiller was about to stand up, a streak of lightning screeched across the misty dream space. In the eerie silence, time seemed to slow down as a shadow flashed by."

Little Kryptonite immediately lowered his body, tense muscles peeping from under his fur as he bared his sharp fangs. Its hair stood on end, showing extreme tension."

All of a sudden, a golden lightning congregated at one spot and a silhouette walked out from the mist. Wearing a tight red suit with a lightning emblem, the young man approached Professor Shiller and said:

"You are Professor Shiller, right? Don't worry, this is a dream. I'm Barry Allen, The Flash from another world."

"We're short on time so I will be brief. Your colleague, Professor Swan, is actually a super-villain from another universe. I pursued him here, but now both of us cannot get out."

"He wants to execute his wicked plans in this world, and I must stop him. Swan possesses a special ability to contaminate others' psyches. He used this ability to manipulate the new director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and together, they caused the terrorist explosion under the World Trade Center Building."

"The new FBI Director, Louis Fry, became interested in your capabilities after going through your record at the FBI, so they wanted Swan to use his ability to manipulate psyche in order to control you."
