Chapter 43: No Desire to Receive a Response
In particular, at the end of this book of instructions for newcomers, there are several wishes that are very undesirable for others.
In other words, the desire for extremely low returns.
At the top of the list is the resurrection.
That's right, this is it.
The dream world responds to everyone's deepest and most longing wishes, and the desire to resurrect dead relatives, lovers, and friends can be said to have carried out almost the history of mankind.
Since the concept of death was conceived, human beings seem to have pursued immortality and resurrection.
But the way in which this wish is fulfilled in the dream world is actually not rosy, and the person who makes such a wish often ends up being a necromancer-like character.
Feng Xue didn't think it was a lie.
For there is so much to think about in resurrecting a person.
That's simply something that a superpower can do.
First of all, it is necessary to be able to mend the existence of the corpse, which is the most basic, without an intact body, even if it is resurrected, it will die again.
And then there is the one that fills the life force, which is a rather nihilistic concept, but without it, there is no activity.
Finally, there must be the ability to stuff the soul back into the body, even if the body without the soul still has the original memories in the brain, is it still him?
This is just a general talk, if you want to subdivide it, you can also divide into various side branches, such as healing, spiritualism, helping the soul and the body to harmonize, and so on.
But there is only one ability that the dream world gives to everyone.
This means that those who wish for resurrection can only get one of them, and the better ones can attract souls, at least keep the dead by their side, and maybe even research extraneous tricks such as merging with attachments or even transcending souls (1).
But it's also indispensable to get the ability to rejuvenate just the body.
A body that can move, but has no soul at all, and will only rely on the self to act, what is it if it is not a zombie?
In addition to the resurrection, it is not okay to wish for peace in the world, no more tragedy in the world, don't laugh, in the example given by the newcomer's instructions, there is indeed a person with the power known as the "Tyrannical Virgin", who made a wish to the dream world - "May there be no more sin in this world", so he gained the power to make all "sinners" die.
However, this "Holy Mother of Tyrannery" has an amazing willpower, and almost reached the peak of the epic at the moment of gaining the ability, and there is only one line left from the legendary level, so all the criminals who enter within a kilometer of his body will die mysteriously, not only that, but he can even make foreign sinners hundreds of kilometers away die just by rumors, and the most terrifying thing is that the definition of this "sinner" is based on the cognition of the Holy Mother of Tyrannery!
So in that era, centered on the "tyrannical Virgin" herself, all kinds of inexplicable deaths began to spread, whether it was the head of state, or the vicious criminal, or even just petty theft, wherever the "tyrannical Virgin" went, all those who were found guilty would die.
During this period of unlasting "plague of death", the idea of the "tyrannical Virgin" became more and more extreme, and even because there were righteous people who wanted to stop his actions, he would be condemned as a "sinner who hindered world peace" and died directly.
Fortunately, there were no newspapers, television, and other media at that time, so he did not become a "new world cami" (2).
However, great power will eventually be limited, and finally one day, the "tyrannical Virgin" suddenly discovers that she is actually a sinner.
So, he just died under his own power.
The horror that enveloped the whole world disappeared, but the humans in the world didn't know that this was actually an incident caused by a superpower, and the high-level leaders of various countries didn't want the superpower to be known by the general public, so this event was recorded in the history of the world in the name of the plague, and it was called the "Black Death".
That's right, the Black Death in this world was actually just because Europe produced a superpowered person who wanted "no more evil in the world".
So in general, this warning has two meanings -
First, don't make your wishes too complicated, otherwise you will harm others and yourself.
Second, don't be too ambitious, otherwise you will harm others and yourself.
To put it bluntly, there is actually one - the simpler and more direct the wish, the better.
Although he said that, Feng Xue didn't have any idea, because when he saw this page, he had already made a wish-
"I hope I can live in this world in peace and quiet!"
However, nothing happened.
The dream world did not respond to his intentions, neither giving him the power to maintain his daily life, nor giving him the power to erase all abilities and thus return the world to the everyday fantasy killer.
It's as if nothing ever happened.
"Is it because it's too complicated for me to make a wish, so I can't understand the dream world?" Feng Xue touched his chin shrouded in the mask, and his mask also made a strange expression with the mood of his master.
Anyway, Zero's mask doesn't even have facial features, so it's too difficult to make an expression for a mask, right?
Ahem, now is not the time to complain.
Feng Xue thought about it for a long time and didn't think of the reason, and finally started to make a wish again.
"I want the power to live a peaceful life!"
Still no response.
"I want to take care of my daily life!"
Still no response.
"I want to be the world's number one superpower!"
Feng Xue roared, causing countless superpowers to look at them like idiots, but they still didn't get any response.
"Is it because I'm a time-traveler and my soul doesn't belong to this world, so I'm discriminated against by the dream world?" Feng Xue instantly fell into a state of embarrassment, like a salted fish that had lost its dream.
"Hey, hey! I said newcomers, newcomers need to know that they don't want to make such inexplicable wishes, right? Kui Ye didn't seem to be able to stand it anymore, and walked over with his arms flung over, "What if your wish comes true, and then all the superpowers who are stronger than you hang up?" ”
"Huh? And this kind of setting? Feng Xue Yileng, it seems that this wish can indeed be realized like this, but then again, it seems that her wish has not been fulfilled!
This kind of thing really still has to be asked to the novice instructor, so Feng Xue told Kui Ye about the doubts he encountered.
Who knew that this big man with Kuiye's mask patted him on the shoulder with a smile on his face, and said in a very philosophical tone:
"Young man, you have to look straight into your heart!"
Note (1): From the Psychic King, the former is the ability to possess the dead to exert the power of the deceased, and the latter is the ability to use the soul as a weapon.
Note (2): From the Death X Note, the wish of the night god moon, through the small book to kill criminals to create deterrence, so that the world is peaceful.
