Chapter 116: Like a Dream
"Wake ......"
It was just a very whispered word in the other party's mouth, but in Wu Ling's heart, it was suddenly like a thunderclap, directly shaking him up from his slumber.
"Like a dream stone?" Looking at the stone in his hand, the name of this stone appeared in Wu Ling's heart, like a dream stone!
Such as the dream stone, as the name suggests, its function is to directly force people to fall asleep, and it is also their most fearful dream. If you can't wake up in a dream, you can't wake up in reality.
Just like when Wu Ling first unlocked the fourth layer of seals, if he couldn't wake up, then his spirit would all fall into an endless dream reincarnation, and he couldn't wake up if he wanted to wake up, because for people in the dream realm, they live in the real world, even if they occasionally think of everything in reality, in their opinion, that is the real dream.
It's not just dreams, ordinary dreams, if it's only for the supernatural, especially the high-level superpowers, it's almost impossible to play a role. But the most terrifying thing about the Dream Stone is that everything in the dream is completely real, and it is also the most fearful and resistant thing of the other party.
Man is a very strange creature, and the more they resist it, the more they fear something, the more difficult it is for them to resist it.
In a sense, we grew up surrounded by fear. As individual human beings, everyone has the psychological experience of horror in childhood, because experiencing thrill and horror is an indispensable part of the process of growing up, and it is an important means to open up fantasy and enhance creativity. In European and American horror films, the protagonists who experience thrill and fear are often children, and the image of frightened children resonates with the horror psychological feelings accumulated by the audience in childhood. Psychologists say that watching horror movies is a dual need for both physiology and psychology, and in the eyes of film scholars, horror movies are a demon of such audiences: looking for their sad childhood or some kind of subconscious in horror movies. The desire to watch horror movies exists in the audience's subconscious. For things that make us feel terrible, for such an unforgettable psychological experience as fear, human beings have a very ambivalent psychological state, both have an instinctive avoidance reaction to danger, and at the same time can not resist their curiosity and curiosity about people's surnames. Fear is not only an innate emotion, but also a psychological need. And as a product of this need for fear, horror movies are the most popular and intuitive form of entertainment art.
In fact, not only individuals are frightened, but humanity as a whole is also frightened. It is precisely because of the existence of fear that primitive human beings can survive in the face of danger, and the psychological reaction of being afraid and suffering from horror is a psychological instinct formed by human beings in the process of evolution and development of individuals and groups.
We know that when you see a snake for the first time, you instinctively feel scared. Why is this happening? The snake did not hurt him, and the snake did not look like much of a threat to man, but man was still afraid; And from a deeper perspective, in the Bible, it was the serpent ** Eve who sinned, so why not another animal to take on this role? Some scholars who study human psychology believe that this is due to the life experiences of people in ancient times. For the first humans who lived in the forest, it was easy to die from a snake bite, so those who were afraid of snakes and carefully kept away from snakes had a better chance of surviving, so in the depths of human consciousness, there was a natural fear of snakes from ancient times. The fear of snakes in human culture and psychology, and the importance and consciousness of this fear, make snakes a symbol of the best.
However, even in Western culture, there are those who believe that snakes ** human beings have sinned, but it has also opened up human wisdom. This is because, on the other hand, the human psyche has the characteristic that it will be affected by the force in the opposite direction, and it will approach and yearn for the things that are feared and the things that are taboo, and to put it bluntly, there will be a desire to find out. Based on this rebellious psychological characteristic, it is easy to explain our ambivalence about things that cause fear, such as horror movies, which are both fearful and yearning. To put it simply, the ambivalence about the object of terror, the curiosity and exploration** that it contains, is also one of the psychological foundations on which people can learn. From this, we can roughly conclude that one of the reasons why people like to watch horror movies is that the horror experience revealed in the movie triggers the audience's own horror psychological experience, the need for horror experience, and even a kind of human psychological instinct......
We also see that the objects of horror in horror films, whether natural or fantastical, have a basic characteristic, that is, mystery, and its essence is that people do not understand and are ignorant of them. Because of people's ambivalence towards the object of terror, they have to go through the process of being afraid, trying to get close to and understand, overcoming fear, and then facing new fears, and this process of dissolving fear has become a process of eliminating the unknown and gaining knowledge, which can be regarded as a microcosm of the process of human evolution and growth. It can be seen that watching horror movies is not only about exercising psychological endurance, but also forming a psychological skill, a skill for growth.
This kind of contradictory attitude will make it easy for people who don't believe in it to believe. And the role of the Dream Stone is like this, magnifying the infinite horror in people's hearts, and finally forming a dream space that people have no way to resist.
No one can resist such a dream, just like the current Wu Ling, although he has the experience of unsealing the space, but he is still pulled into the dream by the dream stone powerhouse, if there is no reminder of Herman's potential energy, this dream really doesn't know how long it will take.
This is the horror of the dream stone, you know, reincarnation in dreams, but in reality time does not stop, time is still ongoing. It is conceivable that if Wu Ling is fighting with the other party at this time, even if the other party is stronger than him, once he is pulled into the dream realm by the dream stone, his body in reality will be arbitrarily manipulated by Wu Ling.
No matter how powerful a person is, once he has no consciousness and is just a body, even ordinary people can kill the other party. Perseverance is not something to be said casually. What's more, it's still a strong person like Wu Ling, no matter how long it takes, even if it's just a moment, as long as he seizes the opportunity, the other party will fall.
However, the Dream Stone is not without limitations, because of the effect, if you want to pull the other party into the dream, you must also have sufficient energy.
For example, if Wu Ling wants to pull a C-level ability into a dream, at worst, he needs C-level energy, otherwise, it won't have any effect at all. Unless he was attacking, how could he be given time to prepare energy in the middle of a battle at the same level.
In other words, if you want to let the other party get hit between the same level, you must have at least three seconds of preparation time. For ordinary people, this time may only be a moment of time, and many people will not even feel the passage of time. But for an alien like Wu Ling, three seconds can decide a lot of things.
A low-level ability can take out a normal person, a mid-level ability can easily destroy a building, and a high-level ability can even destroy a city. And this time only takes two or three seconds, and one energy is released.
So although there is not much time, for Wu Ling, this time is absolutely unbearable for him. With this time to prepare, he can already kill the other party several times, and of course, the other party can also kill him several times.
If you don't gather energy, then only when the opponent is not as strong as him, such as facing a D-class ability, he can pull the opponent into a dream in an instant. There is hierarchical suppression, and even the other party can't get rid of it at all.
However, fighting against D-level with C-level strength, if it is really a life-and-death battle, it is just an instant, and Wu Ling can use countless methods to kill D-level abilities. So why do you need to use a dream stone!
So don't look at the effect of the Dream Stone is quite against the sky, but for Wu Ling, it seems to be more of a chicken rib.
By his side, it will help to improve the combat effectiveness. But the help is not too big, even if there is an opponent who can be defeated before, he can still defeat now. And the opponent who couldn't be defeated before, even if you add the Dream Stone, it seems that you can't defeat it! Of course, all of this is based on a head-to-head duel, and if you play sneak attack, the role of Dream Stone is unintentionally huge.
For example, the dream stone has a range, and within this range, as long as it is a target that he can sense, he can set the target as the other party. In this way, he can completely control the dreamstone from a distance.
But there is a point, the farther away, the worse the effect. If you are close, you can pull the other person directly into a deep sleep, but if you are too far away, it is likely that it will only make the other person fall into a light sleep, even if you have entered the dream space. The dream space will not be too stable, and it will collapse if you are not careful.
And such a dream space, let alone directly take the other party's life. Even if it's a little sleepy for a longer time, it doesn't seem to have much effect.
Of course, all of this is because the Dream Stone is not complete after all. Although Wu Ling replenished some of the energy of the Dream Stone, it was only enough for the Dream Stone to release once, and the rest of the energy had no place to store it, and it was completely dissipated.
And if there is an energy source, such as the dream stone can completely release its own effect in an instant, pulling the opponent into the dream world. And the energy source can also store energy, so you don't need to be so troublesome when you use it.
After seeing the effect of the Dream Stone, Wu Ling also faintly felt in his heart that the reason why the Dream Stone was separated from the energy source was probably because the effect of the Dream Stone was too powerful. (To be continued.) )
