Yitan glanced at the image of the giant spider drawn by Dean with a black pencil, and said regretfully,
"Sorry, Master, I have never seen this kind of creature, but from your description, it has no entity and is as big as the sky above its head. It does look like a god in my impression. The reason why the world is so desolate may be because it is in the sky. Continuously robbing the land of its vitality.”
Dean nodded, so the big spider is a monster that lies underground and weaves webs to rob the world of life.
"What's the situation with those slit monsters? Judging from their appearance, they have nothing to do with the eight-legged spider, but they obey its orders."
Worker bees obey the queen, and at least some of their biological characteristics are consistent.
"I can only guess that the slit monster is the product of the spider monster transformed with its special ability." Shoal walked around Dean and thought, "In addition, the slit monster has only level 2 combat power, while the big spider is at least level 6, spanning over It's not in line with ecological principles. I think there are other special monsters among them, occupying the ecological niches of level 3, level 4, and level 5 in the world respectively. But this big spider feels that these minions can't deal with you, so he personally Take action.”
Dean nodded, so there must be some monsters that he has never seen exist in the world.
He asked again, "By the way, I'm a little confused about who opened the space node for the Rift Monster, allowing it to invade Hawkins and attack Jonathan last night. The big spider doesn't have the ability to open the node, otherwise it would have been chasing him. I'll crush it out."
Qian Nian shook his head to express that he was unclear.
Dean then discussed with it the houses in Hawkins Town seen in the world. Why do similar buildings exist in the two worlds?
But there is too little information to draw firm conclusions.
"Wait a moment, I'll sort out my situation."
Dean sat on the snow to digest the information in his mind. After a moment, he activated his mimicry. The skin on his face and the muscles around him twisted like melted plasticine. In just a few seconds, he transformed into the appearance of the snake monster Seth.
Qiantan watched from the side with sixteen eyes shining brightly. It had only followed him for a week or two, and he had already seen his master display seven or eight kinds of superpowers. God knows how many surprises he had hidden.
But this is a great thing. The stronger the owner, the easier it will be to fend for itself!
Dean was too lazy to care about the little thing's thoughts, so he took out a tube of Slit Monster's blood from the void, opened his mouth and swallowed it, and activated "Lick Memory".
The fragrance of plants and the mixed taste of blood flow through the throat.
A blurry scene appeared in front of Dean's eyes, a dark underground, a long tunnel, a long line of Rift Monsters transporting stones, and the sound of thumping and scratching...
Digging, digging, digging, as if digging through the ground...
This is the deepest memory in the blood.
"It's obviously a man-eating monster, but it digs rocks all day long like a miner. Do you want to dig through the earth completely?"
Dean failed to absorb any effective information, and turned his attention to another prompt of the mimicry skill - detecting blood that can be simulated, whether to copy and save it.
"As expected of a domain-level shape-shifting ability, it can actually transform into a humanoid monster like the Rift Monster."
A bold idea flashed through Dean's mind,
"My mimicry can even conceal the breath of my soul. If I transform into a slit monster, can I hide it from the big spider?"
But Dean didn't dare to go back immediately. He had to at least prepare a few self-protection measures first.
"Save the simulation body."
In the three simulation columns, next to the scaly snake demon image, there is an ugly monster image of three and a half meters tall with a petal mouth.
Dean continued to sort out the harvest, sinking his energy into the panel,
Fantasy Abyss lv0 (100/100).

Dean's calm face suddenly fell into a trance under the sun, and a subtle hallucination arose in his mind - his whole body was silently soaked in a warm and nutritious liquid, and the liquid crazily penetrated into a certain part of the body through countless pores. one place.
The things imprisoned in the darkness frantically absorb these essences, thrive and sublimate in the moisture, turn from virtual to real, and break free from the heavy shackles that have existed since the day of birth.
Dean felt so light that he seemed to be leaving the world and flying away. He could not feel the weight of flesh and blood, and became lighter than the air, floating swaying above his head.
Bathed in the sunshine, Dean felt extremely comfortable. Countless thoughts in his heart were running like wild horses. He seemed to be omnipotent and unable to go anywhere. A joy deep in his soul arose spontaneously. .
But the fantasy disappeared instantly.
In his soul state, Dean regained his composure and looked at his left and right hands. They were not the black mist of ordinary ghosts, but the colorful colors of the aurora flowing around them.
It turns out that my soul has long been completely different from ordinary people.
Dean raised his head again, and a narrow gap opened in the sky not far away, revealing a lush sea of trees. It was Limbo, calling to his soul.
But Dean's super strong spirit and will easily resisted this attraction.
He looked down again and saw a young man with black hair and black eyes slumped on the snow. The white snow under his feet reflected his handsome but dull face, like an empty shell.
On both sides of the body, Ying and Qiantan raised their heads at the same time and cast a surprised look at him.
"Hey, Master, your soul has actually left your body?"
"Well, I have gained something from the world." Dean felt this light and unfettered sense of freedom, and raised his hand towards a pine tree not far away. The snow fell to the ground, and the pine tree was covered by invisible The power of thought was uprooted and floated into the air.
circle...move...
"It's amazing. The telekinesis used in the past was essentially relying on the telekinesis of 'Shadow'. Now I have awakened telekinesis myself. Unfortunately, it is relatively weak. It has a power of ten tons at most, which is far inferior to Ying's 50 tons. No, the spirit Just increased by 0.5, now Shadow's telekinesis is 55 tons, so I can just use my own telekinesis for my own entertainment."
Dean terminated the telekinesis test and shaped his soul body into various strange shapes such as birds, badges, slit monsters, and spider monsters. Finally, it turned into a mist flying across the sky, trying to distance itself from the body.
One kilometer, two kilometers...five kilometers...
After he flew five kilometers, he felt a strong attraction that prevented him from leaving his body.
"So my soul can be up to five kilometers away from my body. So after my body dies, will I not be bound by this?"
Dean thought about this and laughed at himself. Unless he went crazy and lost his mind, he would not be able to abandon his body and become a "lonely ghost" wandering in the real world forever. "
The next second, his soul returned to his body, he opened his eyes and smiled towards Qiantan and Yinglu, and walked towards the forest on the left.
"It's almost noon, it's time to ask Steve and the three of them to leave."
"Master, let me help you find clues about Jonathan. Can you move freely tonight and absorb your emotions?" Qiantan added anxiously and expectantly,
"Of course, I keep my word."
…
A few miles away from the forest in the northern suburbs where Dean was, five petite figures quietly arrived in the yard of Jonathan's house.
Dustin pushed his bicycle to the door, with a hint of surprise on his chubby face. He looked at the girl behind him who was wearing a hat, black sunglasses, and a mask, wrapping herself like a doll and asked,
"Jane, what do you mean by bringing us to Will's house?"
"Didn't you ask me to help find someone?" Jane looked around as alertly as a rabbit, "Jonathan is inside."
"Jonathan is home?" Will rushed over and opened the door with small steps.
"Jonathan! Where are you? Please don't hide and scare me. I won't fight for the radio with you anymore!"
"Jonathan!"
Dustin and the other three also followed to help find someone, but couldn't find even a ghost, and finally walked out breathing heavily.
Will's face turned purple and the veins on his neck stood out. He looked at Jane and said, "He's not inside, why did he lie to us? Do you think this is interesting?"
Lucas, the black man, was also furious. His nostrils were as big as those of a cow, and he poked the girl's chest with his fingers. "We finally got Teacher Owen drunk, disguised you from head to toe, and then ran from school to ten Kilometers came to this place and you just made a joke to us?"
"I want to take back what I said before. I will never give a slingshot to you, a liar. You have no superpowers at all!"
"Shut up, don't say that!" Dustin glared at Lucas and looked at Jane with a sincere expression, "Aren't we friends? Friends will tell each other the truth. Please tell us the true location of Jonathan."
Jane became embarrassed by the series of questions. She rushed into the house with her short legs and pointed at a wall of Jonathan's bedroom, "Jonathan is in here."
"Am I blind?" Lucas turned to look at his companion with a puzzled expression, "What else is there except an empty wall? Is Jonathan hiding in the wall?"
"Turn this place upside down to find him!" Jane yelled, staring at the wall, her dark eyes bloodshot, and her hands hung tensely on both sides of her body.
Invisible power erupted from her petite body, sweeping around.
Huhu...
The four boys felt a strong wind blowing on their faces. They couldn't help but close their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they saw a scene that violated scientific common sense - the tables, chairs, books, radios, and beds in the bedroom were all floating out of control. stand up.
Outside the bedroom, all the debris in the hall began to bang on the ground.
Everything in the whole house is out of control!
"What, what's going on, superpowers?" Lucas stammered, opening his mouth wide enough to swallow an egg.
"I told you before, Jane has super powers, and it's not just the ability to find people!" Dustin pushed the three guys with a red face and danced, "It's too strong, this should be DND The 'Mage's Hand' in it, our mage is the real mage, the others are all weak!"
"Quiet, don't disturb her!" Mike made a gesture of silence, nervously and fascinatedly enjoying the superpower performance with Will next to him.
But two minutes later.
Plop, plop!
Everything hanging in the air fell back to the ground.
Jane also took a step back and sat down on the bed. She took off her mask, grabbed a tissue next to her and wiped her nosebleed. She looked at her four friends apologetically.
"Sorry, I can't open the door to this place, it's too solid."
"Why are you bleeding?" Mike hurried forward to show concern, "Are you injured?"
"Don't worry, I just overexerted myself, just take a rest. I haven't had a nosebleed in a long time."
"That's good."
"But which door do you want to open?" Dustin gave the pale Will a comforting look and walked towards Jane, "There is clearly no door on this wall. Also, where exactly are you pointing to?"
Jane pursed her lips, took a photography magazine from the table next to her, pointed to the cover and said, "This is the house we are staying in now, turn it over."
She turned the book to the back and looked at the four boys. "This is the house where Jonathan is hiding. We are on the front and Jonathan is on the back."
"Inverted?" The four of them exchanged confused looks, and the black kid Lucas looked confused, "Do you understand?"
Dustin and Will shook their heads, "I don't understand."
Mike suddenly clapped his fist, "Inverted, reverse, do you mean the upside down world? Because Jonathan is hiding in the upside down world with this bedroom, so you brought us here, but we can't see him! You When I talk about opening the door, I mean opening the door to the upside-down world!"
Jian nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, her eyes were red and she was about to cry. Finally, someone understood what she meant.
"The world is upside down?" Dustin raised the peaked cap on his head thoughtfully, "Like the Valley of Shadows?"
Will, a veteran DND fan, said, "An evil dimension filled with necromancy and shadow magic?"
Lucas added, "Another world 'underneath' Hawkins where we live?"
"Yes, that place is empty, dark, dangerous, and there are monsters," Jane clenched her fists and tried to explain. "It is far away from us, even I can't reach it, but it is very close. We only need to open a passage, and we can Get in there and find Jonathan!"
"Jane, you are such a genius!" Mike stood up suddenly, with a touch of excitement on his skinny frog face, "So, we already have the goal of our efforts, let's enter the upside-down world from this bedroom!"
"The question is how to get there?" Will grabbed the head of the watermelon and said sadly, "Even Jane can't do anything, so what can we do?"
"We don't have superpowers," Dustin grinned, his eyes shining with the wisdom of a scientist, "But we have scientific knowledge, and we have the best physics teacher, who may be able to give us the answer!"
"You're talking about Mr. Clark of the Audiovisual Club!"
"Yes! Call him. He usually watches movies at home on weekends!"
…
Toot…
"Teacher Clara?"
"Well, Dustin, don't you want to take a nap?" A gentle male voice came from the phone,
"When we were playing DND just now, we thought of a difficult problem and wanted to ask you for help?" Dustin took the microphone and asked, "Do you know about Shadow Valley?"
"Of course, who among us science and engineering men doesn't know about DND? It is a reflection of the material world..."
"Yes, if there really is a place like Shadow Valley in the world, how can we get there, theoretically speaking."
All five children put their ears close to the microphone, and there was a chuckle from inside, as if they thought their questions were interesting.
"Okay, first you take out a piece of paper and draw an image of an acrobat standing on a tightrope."
"This tightrope is our dimension. Our dimension has laws. Acrobats can only move forward or backward."
"But if there was a unique flea next to the acrobat, it could walk forward and backward, the same as the acrobat, right?"
The five children looked at the paintings on the paper and nodded,
"right."
"Here comes the interesting part. Fleas can also walk along the sides of the tightrope, and they can also walk on the bottom of the tightrope. The bottom is the Upside Down World, the Valley of Shadows."
"But we're not fleas," Mike interjected, "we're acrobats, and we can't walk on a tightrope."
"cannot."
"Is there a way for acrobats to enter the upside-down world?" Dustin asked,
"Well, the occult method is to turn the acrobat into a flea, with its kind of 'superpower' to roam in the dimension, haha, just kidding. The scientific method is that you must create huge energy, so that you can tear apart Time and space penetrate the steel wire to create a passage to the bottom, an entrance, allowing you to enter the upside-down world."
The four boys looked at each other and then at Jane, all thinking that this entrance was the "door" in Jane's mouth.
"Where are we going to get enough energy?"
"Have you heard of the collider?"
"Well, you have given us popular science." The four primary school students nodded, "A particle accelerator, which accelerates opposing particles to close to the speed of light, collides, and explodes with huge energy."
"Yes, if you use a collider to bombard a certain point above the steel wire with high intensity, there will be a very low probability of opening a channel in this dimension, like this -"
Clark on the other end of the phone folded the paper with the drawings of acrobats and tightrope in half, and poked a hole with a pop of pencil.
The five children had smiles on their faces, feeling that success was just around the corner. "How should we make this collider?"
"Your courage is commendable. Taking all the materials into consideration, we must first prepare at least one billion US dollars."
"..."
The Dustin Five deflated like a popped balloon.
"Children, I emphasize again that these are all theoretical. In the current world, only the United States or the Soviet Union have the ability to use a collider to try to open the channel. As far as I know, a Montauk experiment in New York is secretly conducting related Research."
…
Jane couldn't help but said, "So what if this passage already exists?"
This childish female voice immediately stunned Clark on the phone. When did this clever DND team have a girl?
"Ahem, teacher, this is Lucas' sister Erica." Mike quickly added.
"Okay, smart girl, if the channel already exists, it will definitely affect gravity, magnetic field, and the environment we live in, causing power outages, clock hands reversal, pager no signal, etc., and it may even engulf us. ." Clark sighed, "Science is indeed powerful, but it is not kind at all, and can even be said to be cruel."
"Okay, Mr. Clark, thank you for your answer. See you at school next week."
Dustin hung up the phone, faced his companions and sighed, "How do we find the collider?"
"Let's talk about the collider tomorrow. I have to go back." Jian clasped her fingers together and looked at the clock on the wall. "I made a lot of mistakes. Not only did I sneak out, I couldn't help but make noises on the phone. , This violates the iron rule of my family, if I am found out, I will be dead."
…
At the same time, there was the Hawkins National Energy Laboratory, ten kilometers north of Jonathan's home where Jian and his party were.
In the center surrounded by iron mesh, there is a building with a height of more than ten stories made of reinforced concrete.
On the third floor, there is a room full of complex and sophisticated electronic instruments such as monitors, radios, and walkie-talkies. Several bookish men sit in front of the instruments, wearing earphone-like equipment, listening seriously and diligently, and use the Two records are recorded.
One of them suddenly stood up with an excited face,
"Everyone, I feel like I've found No. 11!"
With that said, he quickly rushed out of the office with a data book and rushed to another room as huge as a football field.
