428 Memory Erasure
Destruction is a noun, abandonment is a verb, therefore, self-destruction is a phenomenon, while self-abandonment is an act, and the difference in the meaning of the word means that the results of the action will also lead to two completely different directions.
But at this moment, Wei Beiran did not hesitate, the calmness on his face made Yao Tian smile faintly, as for whether Wei Beiran did not realize the seriousness of the problem at this moment, or whether his experience in the past hundred years had already made him want to ask for a relief, it was unknown.
Now that he was already in a dream, Guan Liang at this time began to try to use the familiar experience of the past to discover possible clues, but his behavior was soon stopped by Yaotian.
"Do you know what a dream is?"
The sudden question was asked to everyone present, even if Guan Liang had been in the dream world many times, but at this time, he still couldn't say why, but Qu Nianyi on the side spoke.
"Isn't a dream a continuation of reality?"
Qu Nianyi's answer made the smile on Yaotian's face brighter, it should be said that since the two women met, they have been competing in a silent way, and this kind of competition has not been reflected in any way, it is more similar to a spiritual confrontation.
Qu Nianyi didn't know much about Yaotian's existence, after all, Yaotian only appeared after a farewell to Youshan, but in fact, a long time ago, even on the basis of a certain Luo Tian who had said that he had leaked his mouth in the past, Qu Nianyi knew that there were other people in Luo Tian's heart besides himself and Yun Sleeve, and it didn't matter if this person was Yaotian or not.
Therefore, at the moment when Yaotian just appeared, Qu Nianyi recognized this "opponent" with a woman's intuition, and similarly, made a comparison between her and herself in her heart.
On the other hand, Yao Tian knew the existence of this woman before he saw Qu Nianyi, after all, she was Guan Liang's fiancΓ©, and the person chosen by Yao Tian was precisely Guan Liang, but at that time, Yao Tian did not have Luo Tian in his heart, but the difference in the object of his intention did not affect Yao Tian's "hostility" towards Qu Nianyi, even if this hostility was not mixed with any emotional factors.
But this kind of thinking has undergone a subtle change from the moment the two meet today, or rather, the hostility with impure motives in the past has produced "feelings" from the moment the position between the two people disappears today.
Qu Nianyi's interpretation of the dream did not make Guan Liang and the others show any changes in their demeanor, but such a reaction did not exist in Yaotian's heart, and she realized in an instant what Qu Nianyi's answer meant at this moment, so she quickly gave a very resolute denial with the smile on her face.
"If reality is dominated by consciousness, then dreams are the illusory world of the unconscious. β
Yaotian's answer made Guan Liang stunned, but when he was about to ask a question, he was gently pulled by Xiao He on the side, and then shook his head at him, obviously Xiao He at this moment also found that something was wrong with these two women.
"This is just a high-sounding truth, if we really want to divide the real and the illusory according to consciousness, can human consciousness really dominate reality?"
Qu Nianyi's voice was very calm, but the words of rebuttal were sonorous and powerful, Yao Tian smiled slightly when she heard this, she was a person of the Protoss with the ability to make dreams, and her understanding of dreams was far higher than that of any human being, although Qu Nianyi's words made some sense, but it was not difficult for her.
"Human consciousness can determine all their own realistic experience, birth, old age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows, even if the will of God is difficult to disobey, but people can still control how they should face reality in the end, in other words, people can decide whether they are alive or dead, but in dreams, can you?"
Facing Yao Tian's question, Qu Nianyi smiled faintly, suddenly raised her head at this moment, looked at Yao Tian with a provocative attitude, and then asked rhetorically.
"I know what you mean, don't you just mean to say that everything that people dream about is not controlled by human consciousness, and the content of dreams is not unfolded by human will, whether people can control their behavior in dreams or not, this is a passive experience that is different from reality, not a subjective feeling, isn't it?"
Qu Nianyi's addition made Guan Liang and Xiao He on the side glance at each other, and both of them could detect a kind of surprise from each other's eyes, not because of how deep Qu Nianyi's understanding of dreams was, but because her words at this time obviously meant something, and even a kind of desire to cover up, and it was self-evident who the object of reference was.
Listening to her words, the smile on Yao Tian's face at this time also disappeared little by little, originally this remark should have been said by her, maybe another way to say it, but because the object of the speech is different, the meaning is also different, so the corners of Yao Tian's mouth at this time moved slightly, and the words that had already reached her mouth suddenly stopped, she hesitated a little, and finally said after a while.
"Now that you understand the idea of 'passive experience,' it seems that you already know what to expect next. β
Yao Tian used an affirmative tone, not a question sentence, and the three Guan Liang who also heard this sentence were also in their hearts, at this moment, they temporarily suppressed the surprise of Qu Nianyi's words, and returned to the dream environment they were in now.
What happens next?
At this moment, the woods of this wilderness where they were originally located disappeared, no...... It didn't disappear completely, but half of the scene changed slightly, just as the people in Qu Nianyi's mouth couldn't conceive the content of the dream through their own will, and now the area they were in instantly turned into an environment similar to the broken continent of the Demon Realm.
As the woods were uprooted and lifted into the air, the ground beneath their feet turned crimson as if it were spread by blood, and then a muddy, wet sensation came over them, not only of the air around them, but also of the ground under their feet.
The changes in the environment are still continuing, at this moment, not only Guan Liang and Qu Nianyi and others, but even Yao Tian felt that his body was shaking, and it was also at this moment that a thought rose in everyone's minds.
This is by no means a human scene, nor is it a human experience, so what did Wei Beiran experience in the past, or what was his memory and thoughts that were artificially tampered with, that allowed him to have such a bizarre experience?
"Don't move, it's just a normal phenomenon of 'amnestics'. β
Yao Tian's words made everyone in the crumbling hearts stunned, Guan Liang's reaction was the fastest, but it was also the most confused, but as soon as Yao Tian's voice fell, it was Qu Nianyi who was the first to stabilize his body, and then Guan Liang, Xiao He, and Wei Beiran's bodies were no longer shaking, and at the same time, a sharp fall of weightlessness suddenly swept over, although they were still stepping on the swamp-like "flat ground" under their feet, but they didn't know where this weightlessness came from.
The feeling of falling lasted for a long time and never disappeared, such an absurd experience was something that Guan Liang had never experienced in his several dream trips in the past, and at this moment he recalled the words of Yao Tian and Qu Nianyi before, and a thought suddenly rose in his heart that made him stunned.
That is, the dream he is in now is real.
If this is a real dream, does it mean that the dreams he has experienced in the past are not real, but artificially created?
However, when Guan Liang thought about it like this, he instinctively felt a burst of amusement, after all, he knew very well that the dreams he had experienced in the past were indeed created by people, and they were all related to Yaotian, but didn't the dream-making ability of the Protoss successfully hypnotize a person and make him have a real dream?
At this time, Guan Liang didn't ask all this that he thought, because after the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, followed by a flurry of ups and downs, like an earthquake, this feeling was somewhat similar to the previous crumbling, but it was different in experience.
Sure enough, people can't decide what they will experience or see in their dreams, but they can control their actions in dreams through their own consciousness to experience a non-real "reality".
"Yaotian, what is 'memory erasure'?"
At this time, Xiao He suddenly asked, but Yao Tian didn't answer when he heard this, and looking at his expression, he seemed to be looking for a way out of such a predicament, and after a period of time, all abnormal feelings disappeared, and it was also at this moment that a blank look rose on everyone's faces.
"It's ......"
Guan Liang was the first to ask, his expression was full of doubts, and his demeanor was a little stiff, as if he had lost his memory, and he couldn't remember what had happened, where he was at this time, and what he was going to do.
Not only Guan Liang, but also Xiao He and Wei Beiran, everyone seemed to have forgotten all their previous feelings, but when a fierce look flashed on Yao Tian's face, he turned his head to look at Qu Nianyi on the side, and a sense of surprise rose in his heart.
Why didn't she seem to be affected by the "amnestic"?
Yes, unlike the "amnesia" of Guan Liang and the three of them, Yao Tian and Qu Nianyi did not have amnesia, they still remember what happened before, and they also know very well why the blank look on the faces of Guan Liang and the three of them came from at this time, but if Yao Tian is because he is a member of the Protoss knows the principle of dreams, then how did Qu Nianyi do it?
"Can her heart really enter such an ethereal realm?"
Yao Tian looked at Qu Nianyi and didn't speak, but such a thought rose in his mind, and when this thought just appeared, it was forcibly erased by her with the Dream Technique of the Protoss.
"Yaotian, why are you here?"
Guan Liang looked at Yao Tian opposite at this time, a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face, and his question also brought Xiao He and Wei Beiran back to their senses, and the three of them also vaguely extracted the memories of Yao Tian and Qu Nianyi from their memories, and also recalled the decisions they had made at a certain point in time and what they were going to do next, but observing their expressions, it was still as if they had completely forgotten that they had been in a dream and had gone through the experience of the fantasy feeling before.
"It's memory erasure. β
Yaotian's words came out word by word, and as the words fell, Guan Liang's faces once again showed a blank look, only Qu Nianyi seemed to understand something, but still didn't say a word.
"Yaotian, what did you say?"
Guan Liang asked again, and this time it was perhaps because the question in his heart had become a little bigger, so that his voice became a little trembling.
"I finally understood what had happened at Hanshan Temple. β
At this moment, Yao Tian suddenly mentioned the name "Hanshan Temple", which also made Guan Liang and the three of them think for a moment, and after a short circuit in their thinking, they recalled the demonic qi breeding incident in Longxiang City that was still being staged and the fact that the Dong family had a clear and subtle method.
"What the hell happened to Hanshan Temple?"
Guan Liang continued to ask, because his memory was completely blank, he couldn't connect the cause and effect of the incident with Yao Tian's words, but on the other hand, Yao Tian's expression on his face at this moment also revealed a trace of unspeakable pain.
After all, she is the orthodox priest of the Protoss, and she is also the only god in the entire Middle Heaven Realm who has the ability to create dreams so far, but why didn't she even link such an important clue that she had experienced in the past, but that person actually solved the secret of this place earlier than her, the god of dreams.
At the beginning, Yaotian had accompanied Luo Tian to Hanshan Temple once, and it was at that time that he saw Jiang Xiaoyun, the ignorant young man before the memory of his previous life woke up, and he also knew what happened in Hanshan Temple, but it was not until today that she finally connected this matter.
Although this is not the time to think about the changes in Hanshan Temple, after all, they have more important things to do, but when he thinks of this, Yao Tian's heart can't help but worry about that man, if he already knows the connection between everything, that is to say, he has already taken all the clues of the connection into his plan, then the danger he faces today will inevitably be more than twice as much risk as originally imagined.
"It's nothing, it's just a momentary feeling. β
Yao Tian shook her head, she didn't want to think too much about this problem, and now she could only comfort herself with relief, no matter what kind of relationship she had with Luo Tian now, but she couldn't escape from the cold lips and teeth.
As Yao Tian poured a clear stream into the minds of Guan Liang and the others, with the recovery of their memories, Guan Liang and the three of them were stunned at this moment, and it took a long time to come back to their senses.
"It turns out that this is memory erasure, no wonder many people wake up from a dream but can't remember what kind of dream they had. β
As Guan Liang muttered to himself, Xiao He and Wei Beiran also thought so, and at the same time, Xiao He also spoke.
"That is, as long as we continue to be in the dream, the chances of this memory erasure will always exist?"
Xiao He undoubtedly asked a key question at this time, and in the face of this key question, at this moment, Yao Tian and Qu Nianyi replied in unison.
"Yes. β
