Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 725 - 84: The Irritable Judgment Knight_2

And during that one hour back in reality, those souls who had longed for and received beauty in the Divine Realm felt a great contrast.

If dreams last longer than reality, then which should be considered the real reality?

The reality that once lasted only an hour has now—become all of reality.

Judgment knight z950512, Jiang Ming's younger brother-in-law, married his sister in the Divine Realm. There, he lived happily every day with his wife, whom one might call his childhood sweetheart.

And what about reality? Reality is cruel. The sister he had protected since childhood had actually married someone else.

Thankfully, reality is false, and everything in the Divine Realm is real.

Most of the time, their world of consciousness exists in the Divine Realm, with only that one hour in this fictitious reality.

As long as everyone believes in the judgment knights, he can leave. After the New Year is over, his consciousness will be able to live in the Divine Realm every day, happily with his sister.

That is the real world!

But today, it suddenly realized, everything had changed.

Had time moved forward?

He, who should have been in the Divine Realm, returned to this fake reality early—witnessing his sister cover this disagreeable brother-in-law with a blanket in the morning, hearing the pleasure and pride in his sister's voice when she spoke of another man.

"Let me go back, let me go back, let me go back!"

It kept repeating these words inwardly, thinking it must be a lapse by the gods, or perhaps a special arrangement by the gods?

Maybe only the timing to this not-so-wonderful dream had changed?

It thought so, and then the afternoon passed. Then, upon waking up, Jiang Ming heard the words that had accidentally slipped out—"I want to go back to the Divine Realm."

That was the truest place in the heart of this judgment knight.

Not everyone has the determination of Constantine and Tang Xian to distinguish between reality and dreams.

Even if some can initially tell them apart, when the dream becomes too beautiful, they no longer wish to wake up.

This refusal of reality grows stronger until they convince themselves, creating an inversion of reality and dreams.

...

...

Jiang Ming's inner doubts intensified.

In the following days, that strange "no talking" rule seemed as if it had never existed—if his sister asked her brother, he would respond.

But when Jiang Ming questioned his younger brother-in-law, he was met with cold looks.

Even though the expression of a judgment knight was fixed, Jiang Ming could feel the unabashed hostility. Not only did he notice, but his wife did as well.

Sometimes Yang Xiaoru would say to her brother to be nicer to her husband.

But the reply she received was just as cold.

So these past few days, Jiang Ming noticed his wife was very sad. Perhaps the sibling relationship had suddenly plummeted to an all-time low.

Jiang Ming also discovered that his younger brother-in-law was becoming increasingly irritable.

"When will this damned dream end? Let me return to the Divine Realm, that is the real world." Jiang Ming heard this sentence twice.

The first time he heard it, Jiang Ming thought his brother-in-law must be confused, but the second time, he was sure that this was not a slip of the tongue or a confusion.

But in his brother-in-law's mind, there indeed was a place named the Divine Realm.

Jiang Ming didn't tell his wife about these things.

Instead, he accessed the internet and entered the forum to browse through some materials.

There were a total of 280,000 search entries with the keyword "God's country"! But the recent entries were mostly related to the Judgement Knights, and some posts in the forums greatly shocked Jiang Ming.

"I don't know why, but these past few days, my husband has been talking more than before."

"My son too, he used to be quiet after joining the Judgement Knights, but he's been talkative these days, yet—"

"Talkative? Maybe, but he seems so irritable. My best friend, who became a Judgement Knight three months ago, I've been on the battlefield with him, but now he seems very annoyed with me."

"Do you know what God's country is? These days my brother keeps mumbling about wanting to go back to God's country."

"Shocking, I heard that too, I thought I misheard, but indeed, my child has also been mumbling about God's country."

"What is God's country?"

What is God's country?

Where is God's country?

These two questions almost always appeared after a series of discussions about the recent unusual behavior of the Judgement Knights.

Jiang Ming finally became certain that it was not just his brother-in-law acting abnormally, but all the Judgement Knights who had fallen into an odd state.

Jiang Ming calmed down and began thinking about what to do.

"If there really is such a place as God's country, then to find out where God's country is, you can only ask someone who has been there before."

Another day passed, and for the first time, Jiang Ming saw his wife cry because her brother, who had always been harmonious with her, even excessively so, had shouted at her today.

The New Year had not yet arrived, but the atmosphere in the family had become very strange.

Jiang Ming could feel that God's country meant to these people what drugs mean to addicts.

They were becoming increasingly irritable.

Some of the family conflicts on the forum were also escalating slowly, just like his.

"How much longer must I be trapped in this nightmare? When can I wake up?" When he saw his brother-in-law, Jiang Ming heard this phrase,

He didn't hide his curiosity any longer, but asked:

"What is this God's country you speak of? As far as I know, this place does not exist, and you have never left Fortress Thirty-Nine. Could it be a figment of your imagination?"

What Jiang Ming didn't expect was that this question seemed to provoke his brother-in-law.

He raged:

"You, a fictional, false being, dare to say that God's country is fake?"

In that moment, Jiang Ming even felt that the eyes of his brother-in-law were about to emit a kind of death ray that would terrify all creatures.

His breathing became rapid, and a flicker of fear passed through his eyes.

It wasn't until much later that the Judgement Knight across from him, who was a complete stranger to Jiang Ming, finally calmed down. He still used that emotionless, icy tone as he spoke:

"God's country will not allow such a figment as you to sully its name, you and everything now are merely God's trials for me."

After saying this, the Judgement Knight left. Where he went was unknown.

Jiang Ming's heart was in turmoil, and a wave of unprecedented fear washed over him.

If it were just his brother-in-law acting like this, he wouldn't be as concerned.

But now, in more than two hundred fortresses, all the Judgement Knights who had contact with people and operated within the civilian level were behaving the same way.

This was a massive global problem.

Searches about God's country became more and more frequent.

Jiang Ming kept all this to himself, not wanting his wife to worry too much, but he knew it might not be long before reports would surface around the world.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Tang Xian and Song Que.

These two were the first to criticize the Judgement Knights, and perhaps they knew the real secret of the Judgement Knights.

Upon reflection, hadn't the Judgement Knights always been devoid of any emotion?

What exactly was going on?

Could it be that their emotions, or rather their thoughts, their souls, had been imprisoned in this place called God's country?

Jiang Ming's hands shook uncontrollably.

At this moment, he stood outside the house, looking at the massive ceiling overhead as the crowd bustled on the street, thinking about the increasingly irritable temperaments of the Judgement Knights. He suddenly felt—

that an unprecedentedly huge upheaval was coming.
