"Are you sure? You're not asleep?"
If they were just detectives, Acupuncture and Snake Eyes could basically confirm that he was driven crazy by his obsession, but if even Lao Jin, a veteran dream keeper, said so, it would be a completely different concept.
As for the two people's inquiries to confirm the nature of the inquiry, looking at the detective on the side with an expression that said, "I'm going to fight him to death," Qingjin nodded and said:
"I did see it. In fact, it's still a bit early now. Wait a little longer, after the excitement wears off and those ordinary people fall asleep, you should be able to get news from them."
"Yes, yes, there are ordinary people. There must be many ordinary people who saw such a big battle!" The detective seemed to be aggrieved when he was suspected before, and immediately said like a repeater.
Shetong and Acupuncture looked at each other. After a short silence, Acupuncture spoke:
"Did someone bring their obsession to reality?"
"It's not been a year or two since the obsession appeared. So far, we have no way to take the obsession out. And even if we can bring out the obsession, I think it's not possible given the characteristics of the current obsession. It doesn’t fit the effect of flying with a sword and being struck by lightning.”
Qingjin spoke in a mature and prudent tone, while the detective was more direct:
"There's even a dream world, so it's not surprising that there's a cultivator or something, right?"
"It's strange." Acupuncture shook his head and explained to this newcomer who had only been in the industry for a few years:
"So far, all extraordinary things have been limited to dreams. The fundamental reason is because of fate. In reality, everything has been decided, and even technology has been completely locked.
"You may not understand what this means, but let me tell you this. According to the intelligence compiled by major laboratories last year, the alloy formula that was researched in the Dream World twenty years ago has not yet had a clue in reality.
"It's not that there is no theoretical basis, but all the experiments so far have happened to bypass the correct path we know, and may even bypass the correct path we don't know yet. Even if it is exhaustive The method is trial and error, and due to various reasons, it may be missed or simply not completed due to accidents.
"Even if you don't know the technology in this area, you should have heard that materials science requires a lot of luck, and materials science in the real world can no longer be said to be bad luck. In that case, it can only be summed up as' It's meant to be'.
"In other words, with the reality that even technology is locked, why do you think systems such as cultivation can not be locked?"
Listening to Acupuncture's words, the detective was speechless for a moment. Qingjin thought for a moment, but shook his head and said:
"Not necessarily. After all, the various documents related to cultivation and immortality circulated in our reality all have descriptions that are similar to going against the will of heaven. And in the oldest batch, there are even more accurate descriptions. Every treasure that comes out has its fate determined by who gets it."
"Are you talking about the unfinished book?" The detective had heard of that book, but because it was unfinished and because of its depressing world view, he had never read it.
Qingjin also nodded and responded:
"Because of the matter of destined death, I have never heard of research in this area. Many old-timers even think that the author of that book is actually a dream keeper who only uses the ways of heaven, destiny, magic weapons and so on in cultivation. It is just a vocabulary used to refer to various intentions in the dream world. However, it was later confirmed that the events in the dream could not be remembered after waking up, so this view was rejected."
"But what if it's true? Is there really a way to leave the memories of dreams after waking up? Is there really a way to fight against fate?" The detective asked in a tentative tone, to which Acupuncture just responded with indifference. Discourse:
"There is no if, because as long as you assume that it really exists, you will find many unexplainable loopholes. For example, why is it that modern technology is still locked despite the fact that dream technology serves as a guiding principle."
"What if it is limited by fate? Or maybe it must avoid the gaze of fate and not expose anything." The detective was still trying to find a reasonable explanation, but was interrupted by acupuncture raising his hand:
"Don't add entities unless necessary. If every hypothesis has to be explained by a new hypothesis, then no matter how absurd the impossibility is, it can become a matter of course."
"We don't need to pay too much attention to this matter." Qingjin, who saw someone going through the tribulation with his own eyes, suppressed the flutter in his heart and said a somewhat bland plan:
"A lot of people have seen this. There will definitely be new developments in the future. Whether it is the dream world or the real world, there should be corresponding reactions. Let's just wait and see."
When several people said this, the topic ended at this moment, and even the most excited detective calmed down. However, as time gradually passed, everyone suddenly realized that something seemed not quite right.
Because today, this small town seems a bit too quiet.
"What's going on? Is the sense of time out of balance?" Snake Tong immediately thought of common situations in the dream world. The detective reached out and picked up the alarm clock on the table and said:
"Although it is indeed a bit unbalanced, it only lasts for ten minutes. In reality, it should be already early in the morning. Normally, it should be launched on a large scale at this time."
"I'll contact the branch and ask." Acupuncture immediately stood up, took out a mobile phone and started to communicate with the branch in the provincial capital. After a while, he returned to the living room with a strange expression and said:
"There is no problem in the provincial capital. It seems that the problem is only here."
"Could it be the cultivator from before?" The detective frowned, and his original excitement began to be replaced by a touch of fear.
Qingjin thought for a while and then said:
"Let me go back to reality."
"I'll go." The detective stretched out his hand to stop Qingjin, and then said:
"In reality, I live in a downtown area, so I can get surrounding information faster. And I usually wake up in the middle of the night and walk around twice before going back to sleep. If it were you, I might just turn over and continue sleeping. ?”
Hearing what the detective said, Qingjin was a little silent for a while. After all, it was true that he could not remember things in his dreams after waking up. He nodded, and the detective immediately lay down on the sofa and quickly fell into a deep sleep...
…
"Tsk... I've only slept for less than three hours? Is it because I slept for too long before?" The detective who returned from the dream glanced at the wall clock on the bedside, and sat up with some confusion, but since he had woken up , he put on his slippers as usual, went to the living room, poured himself a cup of hot water, and then stared at the night scene outside in a daze.
But what surprised him was that this small town with little nightlife was still unusually energetic at two o'clock in the morning. The lights shining outside the window and the noise coming from downstairs from time to time seemed to prove that tonight No one seems to want to sleep.
It’s hot and I’m sleepy, just one chapter today
