Chapter 52: Closer

"W-What do you mean?" Sebastian had a strange instinct, as if the other party was hinting at something about herself.

"I mean, you want to save your daughter, don't you? But the little girl is not in my hands, but if you want to save her, you really need to follow my instructions. ”

Mo Chen casually pointed to the surroundings, he didn't care too much about the dilapidated, desolate, dark and gloomy apocalyptic scenery.

But there's no doubt that this place can put a lot of pressure on ordinary people, and no one is stupid enough to think that it's just a background map and no danger like mobs, right?

"Because, it is possible that she has remained in the real world, or it is possible that she has entered this dream consciousness like you...... It's just that where she will appear is completely up to luck. ”

Mo Chen continued so lightly, but although it was the truth, it sounded too much like some kind of threat at this time.

"You β€”β€”!! you"

Sebastian's expression instantly became agitated, and he stepped forward and opened his mouth to say something.

However, Mo Chen just raised his palm slightly, and stopped his desire to speak-

"Don't worry, I know, if you don't want to waste your time on these pointless arguments, listen to me, Sebastin."

"I understand your anger and your obsession as a father, but ...... Although I am the initiator, my target is not specifically for your daughter, or even specifically for the humans of this world. ”

"Of course you can't believe it, but right now, there's no other way for you to go...... First of all, I'm going to explain to you how to get out of this dream. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Wait, you're talking about...... Get out of this ...... Dreamland? You say it's a dream? Kidman pursed her lips, she already had a vague idea of something.

She couldn't tell if she was relieved or if she had brought up her heartstrings again.

If this space is still a dream, then it is actually no different from the world of consciousness created by the STEM system, right?

I breathed a sigh of relief because I felt that at least it wasn't the worst case, not the kind of unfolding where I woke up again in a coma and the real world had been destroyed for an unknown amount of time......

And the heartstrings were brought up again because she felt that she was in a bad cycle. I thought I had completely escaped these terrible nightmares, the twisted world created by the deepest fears of the subconscious.

But now, she found herself falling into it again, and it seemed that this time it was better than the previous two times...... Closer to hell.

"Yes, presumably the experienced two can easily understand that this space is not the real world, but ...... A spiritual space formed by the convergence of the consciousness of countless people. ”

Mo Chen just nodded and explained casually.

"There is a huge gap between the physical laws here and reality, people can come to this space through dreams, but in turn, dreaming in this space will return to reality."

This can be seen as a super-sized STEM world.

It's just that it's not a system built from a cold machine and the brainwaves of thousands of subjects, but from countless human brainwaves, and a "virus" that is actually a concretization of mythological characteristics.

And not everyone is guaranteed to be here, so it's a nightmare.

But not everyone has nightmares, and it doesn't mean that everyone has nightmares every day......

The vast majority of human beings exist only as the cornerstone of this dream, a parallel space that is sustained by the sea of their subconscious minds that have been implanted with the seeds of nightmares.

However, it is estimated that most ordinary people have no chance to truly discover the existence of this parallel space!

Even if they occasionally fall into their sleep, they wake up quickly, and they don't even remember having had such an experience when they wake up.

The subconscious and instinctive minds, in order to protect the normal mind, will force them to forget about it, so it is not even a dream, let alone have any effect.

Only those who are already afraid of it, and those who are already dark inside, have a very high probability that after falling asleep, their consciousness will always fall steadily into this most terrible nightmare ever.

This type of person is basically impossible to get rid of the nightmare easily by "waking up".

In fact, the dark fear in their own hearts and the demons they can't face are the main reasons why they fall deeper and deeper and can't extricate themselves.

"It's a shame that both of you, you've seen the darkness in your own and the darkness in others, and you still have this twisted fear in your hearts, and that's why you're here, it's a shame......"

Mo Chen said regret, but yawned insincerely.

"In fact, as long as you have entered the STEM world in the past, and those who have implanted a joint brain chip in the brain and maintained a direct link with the STEM system, they are all similar to you, and they will inevitably be affected."

"That means that people like Lily who have entered the system, as well as those guys from the Mobius Organization, will definitely not be able to escape?!"

Kidman interjected, secretly frightened that the existence in front of her had so many secrets as a matter of course, but the most important thing was thanks to the sharp intuition of women, and she thought that the words of this being in front of her would not be meaningless.

Since this aspect is mentioned, it must represent the key issue that the other party is going to talk about next, and it must also involve this aspect of things.

"Yes, you are probably the first visitors who were directly involved in this space after it appeared, but you should be scattered all over this space."

Mo Chen nodded lightly: "Of course, it won't be too far away, as long as it's someone next to you in reality, then it should be in the corresponding city in this dream......"

"And what about the chances you are talking about?" Sebastian asked urgently, holding back her impulsive emotions.

"It's the STEM machine in that base, you just need to find it in this space and start it, you can get out of this space and return to reality."

Mo Chen narrowed his eyes: "This is one of the methods, and it is also the safest and fastest way for you, and through this way to leave here, you will not be affected by this space in the future." ”

"Soβ€”what about the conditions." Kidman, who had calmed down, didn't look directly into the other person's eyes and continued to ask.

"I don't have the conditions myself, I just want to control the machine that belongs to this space, and I also need a central core...... That's right, it's your daughter, Sebastian. ”

Mo Chen shook his head, then looked at the middle-aged man with a stiff face trying to control his expression.

"So, go find your daughter! Whether or not you can make up your mind to make a choice now, it's the most important thing you should do right now......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"What are you doing...... Joke? ”

After reacting, Sebastian gritted his teeth and glared at the other party, and his voice couldn't help but dry and tremble. His face flushed instantly, and his tone contained uncontrollable anger.

"No, it's just that it gives you another choice, and I've also said the most basic way to get out, dreaming in this space will bring you back to the real world."

Mo Chen's face was calm, and there seemed to be chaos circulating in his dark eyes, which seemed to contain malice that transcended the evil of human nature.

He raised his gaze and took one last look at the father, and his words began to take on a cruel flavor:

"If you choose that way to get out, you're not really out of the nightmare, and you'll still come back here often in the future...... It doesn't matter if it's you, or it's your daughter. ”

The next moment when the words fellβ€”

Bang! With the sound of a gunshot, all of a sudden, everything came to a standstill.

Only the gloomy wind blew through the dilapidated and desolate dark streets, and the man in front of Sebastian and Kidman disappeared as if he had never appeared.

However, the malice of the world has launched a taunt, and the invisible curse has been quietly conveyed.

Mo Chen's words were like wielding a ruthless giant hammer, shattering all of Sebastian's momentum and emotions abruptly.

The man stood still, his arm holding the gun weakly lowered.

"Sebastian ......" Kidman didn't know how to comfort the helpless father.

However, she not only felt completely relieved because the existence left quietly, but also subconsciously felt that this was the development in line with her imagination.

Because if that thing is really good at talking and discussing, and if it is easy to talk about anything, then she will feel unreal and problematic.

However, as he did just now, full of malicious performance, Kidman felt that the other party had no problem at all...... The thing didn't bother to deceive, and just made two choices with malice, just to tease Sebastian.

By sacrificing Lily, everyone else could escape, but what was the point of their previous efforts and persistence?

Without sacrificing Lily, everyone is only out of the nightmare for a while at most, and will come back often in the future, including Lily...... If there are too many times, everyone will die in this nightmare, and no one can escape!

"Sebastian, don't think about it so much, let's go to Lily and Torres first......"

Taking a deep breath, Kidman said calmly, "It's not just us here, but also those Mobius bastards. ”

"That...... The man said something about it, and I don't think he would let us find Lily easily, and maybe he would reveal the way back to reality to the people of Morbius. ”

"Our enemies are definitely not the only ones here."

……

……

Mo Chen is actually not a demon, if Sebastian and the others make the right choice, then they will actually find that it is just a bad joke.

As long as they have the courage to sacrifice themselves, then no one will sacrifice for this, and the whole process is just a process of atoning for their past sins and completing self-redemption...... Although it may be said that they will not be grateful to Mo Chen afterwards for this.

However, Mo Chen doesn't need their gratitude, and his purpose is not to help the protagonist team complete self-redemption.

He just took into account some subtle factors, so he easily used such a thing to restrain them, lest these people become "brave" guided by world consciousness and sabotage their actions.

As for the direct elimination of this method, even if he can be ruthless, it is useless, but the "brave" has changed a group of people, or he doesn't know unfamiliar people.

Walking through the dark and decaying city, walking through the rotten and ominous earth, Mo Chen moved aimlessly in this dream space.

The inspiration in the dark was telling him that the appearance of this space was not meaningless, although it was created through him, but it was hidden deeper secrets, and he was only guided into this world line.

Taking a step back, even if he didn't have any hunch, he wouldn't ignore the most conspicuous fact-

"I'd like to see what there's here, so I can get you to come along......"

Looking at the Rubik's Cube in his hand, Mo Chen's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and he felt that he was approaching the next important puzzle piece step by step.
