Looking through the books in his hand, Feng Xue's expression gradually became serious. Although there was no intelligence that could be called direct to the source, there was still some important information.
For example, death.
The concept of death in this world is very deformed. If the content recorded in this book is true, it means that there are no real "accidents" in the real world.
All deaths are woven by a certain being, and unplanned deaths are not allowed.
To put it simply, there is something similar to a book of life and death, which records the time and method of death of each person. In addition, even if he fell from the tallest building in the world, was driven by a high-speed train, or was even placed in a coffin It sinks to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, or it survives the eruption of a super volcano and is thrown into outer space. As long as the destined day does not come, it will never die.
It doesn't sound like it's a big problem. After all, as long as no one can observe things like fate, there is actually little value in considering it.
But the problem is that the existence of "destiny" itself seems to suppress the technology and progress of this world.
Looking at the description in the book, Feng Xue nodded slightly. If judged based on the world he originally lived in, the dream world and reality in this world are nearly thirty years apart, but considering that his world has been studied by materials This discipline, in which luck accounts for a large part, has slowed down scientific and technological progress, and it may take longer for the world to enter this state.
"In other words, is this 'destiny' probably a 'ghost talk' that has only appeared in recent decades? I don't know if it is a ghost story about nature or a ghost story about nurture. However, if it is a ghost story about nurture, then this thing can cause such a big problem The battle formation is truly amazing!"
Feng Xue murmured in his heart, but continued to read. He understood that there would be no accidental death in reality, but what about death in dreams?
And this "Dream Keeper's Code" did not live up to his expectations, and the answer was given in the prologue——
Dreams are corrupted.
In the dream world, human development and progress are not affected by fate. Even after death, only the memory between two sleeps is lost, so the cost of trial and error is even lower.
Although everything will be forgotten after waking up, you can still remember things in reality when you fall into a dream again. Some people even gradually regard reality as an illusion, and instead regard the dream as the real world.
It is precisely for this reason that dream keepers call falling into a dream sober, and waking up as a deep sleep.
If it were just like this, that would be fine, but the problem is that as he dies in the dream, the person will gradually become dull and numb, until one day, all kinds of alien monsters will hatch from his body and emerge. Killing more people, the Dreamkeeper calls this situation corruption.
The corrupted person will not really die, but can still be resurrected in the dream. However, after resurrection, he will lose the numb state before and return to his original personality, just like restoring the factory settings. Although It seems that there is no change, but for those who understand this mechanism, it is difficult not to think about whether the same person is still in this body.
Or is it already occupied by something?
"Judging from the fact that the ghost hand killed me, I am afraid that after being completely corrupted, I will really die. Gee, this is really a creepy world."
Feng Xue gently rubbed his head and continued to turn down the pages, and then saw the establishment of the Dream Keeper organization.
The Dreamkeepers are not strictly an organization, but a loose alliance of people who are aware of the dangers hidden in dreams.
According to the records in the book, about forty years ago, because everyone gradually realized that people who died in the dream world could be resurrected, many people played this world as a game. At that time, the dream world was in chaos, and those who were suppressed in reality could not survive. Desire and madness broke out in a short period of time and continued to spread.
All kinds of crimes fill the dream world, and a large number of people die every day, and then fall into this infinite reincarnation again when the next night comes.
And this madness created a large number of corrupted creatures in a very short period of time, and those monsters joined this feast of death.
Later, the founders of the Dreamkeeper organization realized the seriousness of the problem. They used the obsessive objects left after the death of corrupted creatures to establish an organization, hunt monsters, and establish order. Until decades later, those corrupted people were basically all gone. The death of destiny has been ushered in, and the world has been able to stabilize.
But in the end, dreams are dreams. Even if there is no such large-scale crime boom, there will always be people doing dangerous things in dreams. The cost of death is low and there are inherent accidents, not to mention corruption. Creatures are hunting humans, causing the Corruptors to never disappear.
As for why these are not made public...
Because ordinary people cannot remember these contents, they will forget all memories related to supernatural powers after falling asleep. The way to avoid all this is to hunt the hatched creatures with their own hands.
According to the records in this book, killing corrupted creatures will gain some special knowledge, and there is a certain probability of condensing obsessions. After accepting this special knowledge, people will not forget the memories related to extraordinary power.
It is worth mentioning that there is no shortage of villains anywhere in the world. Some people will take the initiative to kill the same person repeatedly, artificially create corrupt creatures, and gain knowledge and obsessions by killing corrupt creatures. According to the Dream Keeper Code Half of the article is devoted to denouncement of this type of people.
At the end of this code, some mysterious knowledge is also recorded, mostly about the weaknesses of specific types of monsters, as well as the names of a few great beings. According to the records in the book, these great beings seem to be the source of corrupted creatures and the source of the power of obsessions. source.
For example, Hoth is flesh and blood and deformation, Ruijin is reproduction and domination, Graun is intoxication and erosion, Weibur is scorching and corrupt, etc...
After looking at this information and then turning to look at the [Graun's Wine Bottle] on the table, Feng Xue had a strange expression on her face.
He did not continue to think divergently, but put down this introductory book, and read other books related to Dreamkeepers and corrupted creatures based on their names. Finally, before Qingjin finished writing the report, he finally found the place where he wanted to go in "Sleep" "To solve the root cause of the problem before -
Just like the physical body in reality will not disappear after a dream, the physical body in the dream world will still exist after waking up, and the corrupted creatures will target every dreamkeeper who interacts with them and hunt them first.
This means that once he cannot completely kill the corrupted creature, he is likely to be killed by the corrupted creature in reality when he knows nothing about it. And when he falls into a dream again, the memory related to the corrupted creature will also be lost. will all disappear.
"I'm sure, this is definitely not Xiantian Weitan! Xiantian Weitan can't do such tricks!"
My headache is a sequelae of surgery, it’s not a big problem, it just happens occasionally, so don’t worry.
ps: What this world throws out is daily life... I can't figure out how to live in a world of restraint. In the end, it turned into daily reality, a dream world. In fact, if you think about it carefully, this The setting is enough to write a novella.
