The troubled times are coming, Chapter 5
Xiao Zhou is a dream explorer in Fengdu Prison.
He had just graduated from the police academy and had been working in Fengdu Prison for a year.
In fact, it is said that he is a dream explorer, but it is better to say that he came to Fengdu Prison to sit in the office and mix up his qualifications.
If nothing else, Xiao Zhou will stay in Fengdu Prison for another month, and he will be able to apply for a job transfer to the city's police force to work as an idle civilian worker.
If nothing else... And today, the biggest accident since the establishment of Fengdu Prison has appeared!
An outsider student tampered with the S-Class Nightmare Seed in the seal, causing the Nightmare Seed to be at risk of collapsing.
"Team... Captain, are you kidding, with my current rating, I am not capable of handling such a dangerous incident. ”
Xiao Zhou shrank his head and really wanted to become a turtle.
He and two other Dream Finders were unfortunately chosen...
He was going to be the vanguard and go to the nightmare copy that the student had built to explore.
This is almost a death mission for Xiao Zhou.
The mental endurance of dream explorers is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and Xiao Zhou belongs to the worst category.
He experienced what it was like to die in a nightmare copy when he first joined the company.
That time he fell into a meat grinder-like mechanism, and the feeling of flesh and bones being crushed inch by inch is still fresh in his memory.
It took him more than half a year to gradually heal the mental and physical wounds.
Since then, Xiao Zhou has sworn that even if he dies, he will resign, and he will never enter the goddamn nightmare copy again!
The most disgusting thing is that in general, master dreamers will give some 'mercy' to dreamers when they are responsible for constructing nightmares.
The most intuitive part is the Tower of Death, where there are two or three safe houses on each floor.
This design can make the Dream Explorer's mental trauma slightly less.
But Xiao Zhou didn't think that high school student would have such a place of 'pity'!
"We don't want to send you in as a bastard, but you're the only one of us who has been off for more than half a year!"
Kan Shaoni looked at Xiao Zhou as the captain of the dream explorer and said.
"Everyone else is mentally overloaded, and you can survive death at least once. ”
While Kan Shaoni was saying this, Xiao Zhou noticed that she was bleeding from her nose...
Every time that S-class nightmare seed was eaten, it ate not only the spirit and life of the condemned prisoner, but also the dream explorers stationed in Fengdu Prison.
Every time the nightmare is explored, Fengdu Prison will send one or two dream explorers and death row prisoners to enter together.
As a result, most Dream Seekers suffer from 'traumatic' illness with varying symptoms.
If Kan Shaoni hadn't entered the Nightmare Copy once yesterday, she wouldn't have sent Xiao Zhou, a newcomer who lived a pure life, in.
"I... I..."
When Xiao Zhou just wanted to say, 'I'm quitting my job!', Kan Shaoni directly took out a job transfer application and put it in front of him.
"This is your last job in the hellish place of Fengdu Prison! as long as you finish it, you can go to the best government agency in the city to work as a clerk..."
Kan Shaoni saw that Xiao Zhou was slightly moved, so she continued to add.
"And this time I will send special people to protect you in the nightmare, and if there is danger, you can also force you to leave!"
"Specialized person protection?" Xiao Zhou is more concerned about the previous guarantee.
In that dangerous nightmare, even the most well-trained warriors can't guarantee 100% survival in the nightmare!
"When people arrive, you should know them too. Kan Shaoni pointed to the door and said.
Xiao Zhou looked at the door and found that the person who walked in was wearing the clothes of a prisoner.
He is a death row prisoner in Fengdu Prison!
But Xiao Zhou knows this death row prisoner, and he is still a fan.
"Team Zhao!" Xiao Zhou subconsciously shouted.
Zhao Yanqing, former captain of the city's special police brigade.
There were thirteen lives on his body, but Zhao Yanqing did not regret it at all.
In one operation, Zhao Yanqing's wife and daughter both died at the hands of a criminal gang.
Zhao Yanqing, who learned all this, did not listen to the orders of his superiors, and directly 'brought the criminal gang to justice' in private, using the most cruel means.
The sentence was life imprisonment, and Zhao Yanqing could have stayed in a relatively quiet prison.
But he still took the initiative to apply for this... Hell.
So that he could protect the country in a different way.
Xiao Zhou also heard about this before he came to Fengdu Prison to work.
Zhao Yanqing was not a very talkative person, and after glancing at Xiao Zhou, he silently found a place to sit down.
If there is protection from Team Zhao...
Although Xiao Zhou thought so in his heart, he still couldn't overcome the fear of nightmares.
"Captain... I still think..."
Before Xiao Zhou could finish his words, his arm was held up by the other two dream explorers.
"There is no right to refuse from the moment you start your job. Kan Shaoni looked at Xiao Zhou with a smile, and her tone suddenly sank down and said, "Sacrifice your life for the country!
"Huh? I don't want to be in that high school student's nightmare copy! I'm not going to live long in there! I don't want to die yet! Let go of me!
Xiao Zhou shouted a series of words in fear that if he was placed in the former Soviet Union, he would definitely be shot by the political commissar.
But Xiao Zhou didn't have the right to refuse, and the two dream explorers directly forcibly pressed him into the machine that entered the nightmare copy!
Directly forced him into the nightmare copy that took countless lives.
Before Xiao Zhou's consciousness was swallowed up by the nightmare copy, his only thought was... Wait for him to live, no, die, whatever!
As soon as he came out of that damn nightmare copy, he immediately applied for a transfer out of this damn Fengdu prison.
The Dream Finder's job is not done by people at all, and he would rather starve to death on the street than never go into this damn nightmare again!
When Xiao Zhou was forcibly thrown into the nightmare, Kan Shaoni wiped the blood under the tip of her nose and prepared to enter the nightmare copy together.
But Zhao Yanqing stopped her first.
"You won't wake up if you die in a nightmare one more time, go and rest, and leave it to us here. ”
Although Zhao Yanqing is a death row prisoner here, the dream explorers here seem to be more willing to listen to him.
"Well... And this nightmare was constructed by that student in a very short period of time, and it will most likely be very monotonous and boring..."
Kan Shaoni paused and continued.
"But the owner of the Nightmare Seed, the tapir, recognized that the nightmare constructed by that student should be no less dangerous than the previous nightmare copy... Now one can only hope that the tapir let the student construct the dream just a whim. ”
A dream explorer of Kan Shaoni's level knows the name of the Lord of Nightmares that inhabits that S-class Nightmare Seed.
At the same time, Kan Shaoni also knew the preferences and tastes of the Lord of Nightmares.
All she could hope for now was that the nightmare that the student had constructed didn't quite suit the Nightmare Lord's appetite, and he had changed the nightmare copy back to the previous Death Tower with a little taste.
If you think about it, this is the most realistic situation.
Because no matter how you think about it, the battle staged by the nightmare constructed by a high school student cannot be more exciting than the nightmare constructed by a long-established dream maker...
