Qinghu Third People's Hospital.
Inpatient department, fourth floor.
In the specially opened ward area, there were eight sleeping patients lying there.
Patients carry various testing equipment, and lines of data are detecting their life activities.
Even non-professional doctors can see that these patients are obviously declining, as if there is an invisible disease devouring their remaining lives.
Looking at one of the eight or nine-year-old little girls, Xue Lansu crossed her arms with a very serious expression on her face.
The sound of hurried footsteps came, and the sound quickly became quieter. Chen Shuo came nearby and said to Xue Lansu:
"Your Majesty, all the patients have been gathered here."
Xue Lansu nodded, indicating that he understood, then turned to look at Song Ruyuan nearby, and said in a deep voice:
"After that, I will sneak into their dreams, and I will ask you to take care of them outside."
"Don't worry, I'm here and nothing will happen outside."
Song Ruyuan patted his chest and promised.
Chen Shuo and others' expressions were very strange.
Listening to this, I always feel very unlucky.
However, when Xue Lansu personally sneaked into the dreamland, a strong person was indeed needed to take care of the outside.
It's a pity that because of the previous exploration of the secret realm at Peace House, the masters suffered heavy casualties and were immediately cut off. It was also difficult to cultivate pillar-level combat power in a short period of time.
Now that they can invite the acting director of the Civil Security Bureau to come over, to be honest, they feel very relieved, at least they have peace of mind.
Xue Lansu gave a word of advice and no longer hesitated.
She slowly took out a book.
The book looks unremarkable.
The dark golden book cover has no words written on it, but it is engraved with many simple patterns, with a hint of mystery and mystery.
It's not so much a book as it is a notebook.
As the leader of the Peace House, Xue Lansu knew the details of this book very well.
Its body is a notebook sold in the bookstore opposite Qinghu No. 2 Middle School.
There are many similar notebooks, and many people even use them in middle schools.
But this notebook is different. It incorporates a page of scripture from ancient times.
It is unknown what changes occurred during this fusion process, causing the book to become a conscious strange object.
Under the influence of this strange object, the manager of the bookstore went crazy and was sent to a mental hospital.
After several twists and turns, the book fell into the hands of their Peace House and was regarded as one of the most important treasures.
Now, in order to solve the [Dream Disaster] spreading throughout the city, Xue Lansu invited it out.
To be honest, if she had a choice, she would rather risk her life to fight those monsters with real swords and guns than use this book.
But now, there is no other way.
Xue Lansu held the book, which was not heavy, but felt heavy in her heart.
She took a deep breath and slowly opened the pages of the book.
On the first page, there are six ancient seal characters written [Tai Shang Dong Yuan Shen Zhang].
This is also the name of the ancient scripture.
It's a pity that no matter how many historical books they searched, they couldn't find any clues about it.
Xue Lansu flipped her fingers lightly and turned the page.
The second page is still a large blank. As the page appears, a line of ancient seal characters automatically appears on the page:
【What is your wish? 】
Xue Lansu said in a deep voice:
"I want to enter the dreams of those patients."
The ancient seal characters on the page quickly faded away like scattered ink.
Immediately afterwards, new handwriting appeared again:
"I can make your wish come true, but you have to fulfill three requirements first."
Xue Lansu responded with a solemn expression:
"Can."
She turned to the next page.
I saw it read:
[The first requirement: imitate dog barking in public, and you have to bark five times]
The muscles on Xue Lansu's face twitched slightly.
She had long known that this book was very evil.
This book is also known as the Wish Book among them.
Anyone can make a wish on this book, and after completing the request made by the other party, the wish will be fulfilled.
It seems like a fair deal, but the demands made by the other party often drive people crazy.
And once the wish is beyond the other party's ability, it will not refuse it, but will achieve it in a more bizarre form.
For example, if you resurrect the dead, the last person to be resurrected will often be a zombie.
As a result, this book caused a lot of trouble, and was later suppressed by them.
After a series of exploration and analysis, leaving aside the process of alienation, it was discovered that the Taishang Dongyuan Divine Chapter is an incredible scripture, and its body should be a spiritual treasure-level item, containing the power of laws.
Therefore, only after alienation can the great power of realizing wishes be exerted.
But the power of law obviously has its limitations, and it is impossible to truly realize everyone's wishes.
Even the original version of the Taishang Dongyuan Divine Seal could never achieve this level.
That’s why there are cases where wishes come true in a twisted form.
However, based on the abilities it has shown in the past, it should be easy to help people sneak into dreams.
Therefore, after realizing the seriousness of the dream disaster, he tried various methods but could not solve it. Xue Lansu knew that he could only rely on the power of this strange object.
She told herself a thousand times in her heart that she should put the overall situation first.
Then, under the stunned gaze of Chen Shuo and others, he spoke expressionlessly and barked five times in a row.
The surrounding members of the Peace House looked at the usually aloof Master Xue and howled on the spot, their expressions almost breaking.
But before they could say anything, when they saw Xue Lansu's extremely sharp eyes that looked like they were about to kill someone, they all swallowed their doubts.
Some people were even thinking about leaving as soon as possible before the Lord got angry.
Xue Lansu squeezed the book tightly and turned to the next page.
She had already tried it before. If she did not complete the request just now, she would not be able to open the next page.
Even if the conditions cannot be met, for example, if it is not "in public", then you may not be able to advance to the next stage.
Fortunately, although the book was in bad taste, it did not embarrass her further.
Then Xue Lansu saw the next request:
[Second requirement: Pay five low-grade spiritual stones]
Seeing this request, Xue Lansu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the five spiritual stones were expensive, in her opinion, they were much better than the first request.
Xue Lansu casually took out five low-grade spiritual stones and placed them on the pages of the book.
The pages of the book were like a bottomless pit, swallowing up all five low-grade spiritual stones in the blink of an eye.
Then comes the last request:
[The third request: tell me what color your underwear is today]
Xue Lansu clenched her fists and replied expressionlessly:
"red."
The page turned to the next page on its own.
From the handwriting shown above, it seems that the other party is satisfied:
[All the requirements have been met, and now we will start to fulfill your wishes]
After the new handwriting emerged, it did not fade away as quickly as before.
Instead, it flew up from the pages of the book, condensed into a ball in mid-air, and turned into a ball of ink.
Immediately, the dense ink quickly expanded and turned into an ink barrier large enough for a single person to pass through.
Xue Lansu turned to look at Song Ruyuan.
The other party nodded heavily at her.
Xue Lansu no longer had any worries and stepped inside.
After she entered, the ink barrier burst and disappeared with a "pop" like a soap bubble.
…
Crescent Road.
Nearby Taihe Square was crowded.
Jiang Renchang stood at the intersection, looking at the whale not far away that seemed to be jumping out of a tall building, his face full of wonder.
On the side, Wei Cang, who had specially accompanied him here, introduced with a smile:
"That's a naked-eye 3D large screen, and it's a relatively famous performance here."
Jiang Renchang looked at the vivid whale and said with emotion:
"It wouldn't be surprising if such a thing could be achieved through magic, but it is really amazing that ordinary people can reach this point in a mortal body. In just one thousand three hundred years, this The world has changed dramatically."
Speaking of this, Jiang Renchang sighed to himself.
From today's perspective, he was in the ancient era of the spiritual world, and before the ancient times, there were the Middle Ages, Ancient Times, and the Ancient Times. That was a long era that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, even blurring the boundaries of time.
Since humans have been able to practice cultivation, the ecology of the world has not changed much in such a long time.
I never thought that in just a few hundred years of the Dharma Ending Age, the world would become so mysterious and colorful.
To be honest, what he saw and learned in the past few days was beyond Jiang Renchang's expectations.
As an ancient man, he has been really shocked in the past two days.
All kinds of new and strange knowledge, equipment, tools, etc., all opened his eyes.
While feeling emotional, he could vaguely feel the reason for this change.
Perhaps it is because there is no power of cultivation in the world and it is impossible to improve oneself, so people will study foreign objects and use the power of foreign objects.
From this perspective, it is expected that human civilization will develop to its current level.
Jiang Renchang pulled back his wandering thoughts and said to Wei Cang:
"Let's finish setting up the formation here first. Anyway, we'll have plenty of time to visit the whole city later."
Wei Cang nodded, smiled and led the way.
Along the way, he curiously asked Jiang Renchang many questions, especially those on the spiritual level.
For Jiang Renchang, who was originally the Supreme Elder, those doubts were all just childish, and the key points could often be pointed out in a few words.
At the same time, Jiang Renchang also learned a lot of information from Wei Cang, including related to Su Mo.
After learning about the mage's many achievements and past from the side, his fluctuating and restless mind calmed down a little.
It is better to live under the hands of a righteous practitioner than to live under the hands of moody demonic practitioners.
Apart from anything else, at least he doesn't have to worry about his life being abandoned at any time and used to refine elixirs and medicines.
In this way, the two of them came to the designated formation point with several entourage members in a harmonious atmosphere.
The formation point is located in a remote alley north of Taihe Square.
At the end of the alley is a guard post, located in all directions.
From here, it can not only quickly support Taihe Square, which has a huge flow of people, but also cover the surrounding four blocks.
Once there is any disaster caused by practitioners, we can quickly rush to deal with it.
These outposts scattered everywhere were actually built a long time ago.
The houses at the outpost were all bought long ago.
However, the Civil Security Bureau is always short of manpower.
It is difficult to fill up even the branches spread across various districts, let alone the outposts scattered all over the place.
Almost always idle.
It was only recently that, under Song Ruyuan's instructions, outposts in some key locations were activated and at least one liaison officer was assigned to guard them.
But now, there is the small moving array provided by Su Mo.
In the future, the communication between these posts and the headquarters will become more convenient, and the mobility will be greatly improved.
Even if there is only one liaison officer at the outpost, it will not prevent them from providing timely support when encountering problems.
However, before they could enter, Jiang Renchang suddenly stopped.
He stretched out his hand to stop Wei Cang and others, with a slightly confused expression on his face, and said in a deep voice:
"There's something wrong with the situation ahead."
Wei Cang's expression froze slightly.
He did not refute or ask Jiang Renchang, but immediately asked his team members to form their formation and be on guard.
Although he didn't notice anything unusual, he believed that with Jiang Renchang's experience, he would never be wrong.
"I'll go take a look first."
Jiang Renchang walked forward slowly.
If it were in the past, given his nature, he would definitely not be so self-sacrificial for others.
His prudent approach was to let the little guys around him explore for him.
But now that he had surrendered to Su Mo and even his life was in the other's hands, he had to consider it from the other's perspective.
He is not a cruel person who likes to use weak people to explore the way. At the same time, he is also on good terms with the forces behind people like Wei Cang. As a subordinate, he must not create conflicts for no reason.
Not to mention that although the power permeating inside made him feel abnormal, it was still within the range that he could handle.
Jiang Renchang arrived at the end of the alley seemingly slowly but really quickly.
He stretched out his hand and pressed on the white wooden door. He did not push it open, but exerted a slight force.
The entire wooden door instantly exploded into countless sawdust.
Among the flying sawdust, Jiang Renchang rushed into the house like lightning.
His eyes immediately locked onto the source of the anomaly.
It was a young man lying on the table wearing a gray shirt and shorts.
This person should be the liaison officer previously assigned here, responsible for monitoring surrounding incidents related to practitioners.
But now he was lying under a row of surveillance screens, sleeping soundly.
The spiritual power in Jiang Renchang's hand showed through and turned into a big hand to pick up the liaison officer and place him on the sofa beside him.
During the whole process, he was limp and without any resistance, as if he was completely asleep.
And it was this situation that made Jiang Renchang's expression become more solemn.
Ordinary practitioners, even if they fall asleep, their bodies will never be so limp and weak.
Opening his eyelids, he was suddenly pale, with no pupils visible at all.
Coupled with this constantly weakening breath of life.
Jiang Renchang felt a vague sense of familiarity.
Before he could trace that familiar feeling back to the end.
The liaison officer on the sofa suddenly opened his eyes and let out a shrill, inhuman roar.
Along with this roar, an invisible wave suddenly exploded and rushed in all directions.
"not good!"
Although Jiang Renchang had been on guard in advance.
But when the danger broke out, he was still affected, and for a while he felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
He forced himself to the door and saw Wei Cang and others lying in the alley not far away. He gritted his teeth and used his spiritual power to form a rope to drag them all in, and then turned the spiritual power into a barrier to seal them. Lived in the whole house.
As soon as he finished doing this, his vision suddenly went black and he completely lost consciousness.
