Chapter 53: Blind Student, You Found Huadian
Because this parallel space is an unknown dream formed by the convergence of the consciousness of countless people, and a world constructed by the subconscious mind and imagination, there are corresponding archetypes or entities in the real area.
It's just that the archetype is only its foundation, and the mind of fear will be modified on this basis.
So it's like the city before, and the secret base of the Mobius organization, and even the STEM machines in that base......
They are all objective prototypes in reality, but many people have relevant impressions of them, whether they are superficial or profound, anyway, countless memory fragments are gathered and reproduced and projected in this space.
However, it is precisely because of the fear in the human subconscious that they inevitably distort their true appearance, and they all present a state of dilapidation, desolation, and destruction.
- It seems to be a bleak scene after the end of human civilization.
But no matter what, they are always distorted on the blueprint of the real area, so Mo Chen deduced that if he wants to find out the secrets hidden in this parallel space, he is afraid that it will not be so easy.
He already had two ideas.
A plan that is not too reliable purely depends on fate or luck, since that secret can be said to have appeared because of him, or even existed because of him, then it should not be too difficult to find.
Or maybe it's lurking somewhere near him, and it's not too far away.
After all, Mo Chen is also very unfamiliar with the real world of "Evil Spirit", so in this dream land projected based on that real world, there should be nothing "special" for him.
The other way is the one that is relatively more likely, but the amount of work is significantly larger and more cumbersome.
That is to specifically look for those scenes that are obviously not in the real world -
And it's the kind of thing that is particularly conspicuous in this dream land, and it is absolutely impossible for human minds to be concretized.
Places that are absolutely not part of this planet are definitely problematic places - if such a scenario exists - and if there is a secret, then there is definitely a greater possibility that it is hidden in it.
But considering that the overall space of this dream land is very huge, after all, it is the consciousness of hundreds of millions of human beings, and the impression and memory of the real world are sorted out and transformed......
Not to mention copying the scene of the entire earth from the outside world, but it's not too much to clone half of the earth's area, right?
After all, the formation of this space is simpler than creating in the MC, at least there is no need to stack and create one block at a time, but as long as the real people have been to the places and the scenes with impressions, they will be directly projected together.
In addition, there are not only real scenes, but also many distorted fears that belong to people's imaginations, which have become a special space in the dream world......
This also invisibly expands the overall space size of the entire dream land.
In view of this, Mo Chen decided to look nearby first, try the first possibility, and if he really couldn't find it, then consider the second option.
After all, although the first method is to look at luck, but the second method is, in a sense, more about luck.
If he didn't do it, he might have spent a long time in this vast dream place, looking for a place that he didn't know existed or didn't exist.
……
……
The sky was gray, gloomy and dark, and thunder occasionally shone brightly.
Such a background is not only unusually depressing and deep, giving people inexplicable huge psychological pressure, but also seems to create an illusion that time has stopped and will not pass.
It seems that the world will always be constant in this context, and nothing will change.
The same is true of the city under the gray sky, lifeless.
Weathered buildings, cracked floors, decaying walls and bridges, twisted weeds and vines, strange trees with teeth and claws, and other plants......
The strangest thing is that there doesn't seem to be any life in this space, and even the plants don't seem to be alive at all, but rather like they're dead.
All plants are a grayish-white color, extremely ominous, and extremely distorted and weird.
And the whole city was silent, there was no sound, and there was no sign of any living thing. There is no human activity, no animal activity, and even the sounds and smells of birds and insects have disappeared.
How so? It's probably the feeling that the whole world is completely dead.
However, this extremely abnormal situation is in no way a sign of safety, and it does not mean that there is no danger without other people or animals moving.
Even the deaf and blind guys, as long as they have some intuition, can feel the chill of that substantial ominous transformation, which makes people feel creepy unconsciously.
Sebastian and Kidman were lucky before, they just woke up near Mo Chen, and took the initiative to catch up with the latter.
Therefore, it did not attract the attention of the monsters lurking in the city, the essence of which is the distorted fear from the depths of countless people's subconscious, thus concretizing and anthropomorphizing monsters.
As for why they're here? This question is simple and simple, and complicated and complicated, anyway, it is not Mo Chen's intention.
Just like primitive humans are afraid of predators hiding in the shadows, darkness is a necessary element of horror movies...... Just ask, who didn't have such an experience when they were young, or said some strange thoughts and thoughts-
When I turn off the lights and go to bed at night, I always feel that the shadow in the corner has become some kind of monster staring at me......
The darkness outside the window hides strange human heads or smiling faces or other things that are watching inside the room......
There was a faint sound coming from the next room, as if something terrible was slowly dragging and crawling on the floor......
And in the darkness, under the bed, and in every unseen part of the house, there were all sorts of horrors......
And so on and so forth.
After all, children at a young age are not yet able to distinguish between imagination and reality, and as they grow up, they begin to have the ability to observe the environment and have a deeper feeling, especially for things that cannot be seen, and the imagination is richer.
And when children lie in bed at night, quietly waiting to fall asleep, and there is no distraction around, their empty little heads will run at high speed in the dark. Everything you hear and see during the day, even if it is really safe, can become terrifying in memory and imagination.
— and that's where the most primitive fear comes from.
And it's not just young children who tend to be scared of unfamiliar things that they can't control. Even adults can't get rid of the psychological stress and anxiety that comes with such thoughts.
Because the nature of fear is the unknown! It's just something unfamiliar! It's something you can't control!
In this intersecting world where the consciousnesses of countless people converge – or because an unspeakable object has implanted them with the seed of nightmares, it is not only fear, but all kinds of negative wills that have been distorted, strengthened, and amplified.
Then, those dark emotions, thoughts, memories, etc., are combined with the rules of this nightmare world, and some grotesque beings that originally exist only in human fantasies are born.
For example, zombies, vampires, werewolves...... And so on, these conceptual images that are deeply ingrained in folklore cannot, of course, be inescapable.
In addition to this, there will also be some such as Jokers, Frankenstein, Chainsaw Massacre, Ghost Nuns...... The horror impression created by some classic horror movies and implanted in the subconscious of countless people.
As for whether it can appear and how much it can appear, it depends on whether there are those horror movies in this world.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't, anyway, there will be other horror images created by classic movies that belong to this world to make up for it.
In addition, there will be many, many "uninvited guests" from the alien world, whether in terms of appearance characteristics or living habits, they are difficult to be easily identified by most people.
Because the vast majority of them do not come from the consensus of the group impression, but from the fear of a small number of individuals.
For example, non-human monsters, deformities made up through strange combinations, alien invaders, etc., are basically the objects of fear imagined by many people themselves anyway, and they have not been shared with everyone on the screen, and have become the consensus of countless people.
But the lack of force and legend doesn't mean that these types of monsters are much safer than those guys above.
Because their concept definition is quite vague, they may not be powerful enough, but it is also difficult for humans to think of a suitable way to deal with it immediately, unlike those monsters that everyone is familiar with-
Although the ferocity is powerful and terrifying, weaknesses, habits, and so on are often clearly prescribed.
For example, they are afraid of garlic, salt, crosses, sunlight, and flowing water......
Fearful thoughts, thoughts, and memories not only visualize the images of those terrifying monsters, but also give them the characteristics that people have in their impressions, whether they are abilities or weaknesses.
In this case, it is really not clear what type of thing ordinary people encounter after falling into the deepest nightmare of this sea of collective human subconscious, which is relatively safe.
Standing on the top floor of a high-rise building that had collapsed most of its size, leaving only one corner, Mo Chen looked down on the entire city.
He had now figured out the situation in the city, including the details that were difficult to grasp with the ability to grasp with general sense.
For example, the terrain, the various building facilities, the distribution area of those unlucky eggs, the haunting places of monsters, and finally the hidden special spaces...... Wait a minute.
And the concept of time here is also confusing, but it is also much faster than reality, a few hours in the real area, here is already at least a few days.
It's just that it's not the process that's important, it's the result. Now that he hadn't found anything, it seemed that the secret, if it really existed, wouldn't have appeared directly in his vicinity.
Bang!
Bang bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of gunfire and explosions in the distance broke the silence of the city, Mo Chen glanced in that direction, he didn't care too much, it was estimated that Sebastian and the others had started the process of self-redemption?
And the current battle is probably the movement of them when they are beating the members of the Morbius organization, or fighting the grotesque things that roam the space.
The former is uncertain, but the latter is certain.
Because this kind of movement will attract the grotesque wandering around, even if you are not fighting them at first, but once the battle starts, it is impossible to avoid them.
Mo Chen didn't pay much attention to these movements, he just began to seriously think about whether he had missed something after searching the entire city to no avail.
If not, it seems that the second method is really going to be taken, but after the Rubik's Cube followed, there has been no response......
Wait, or is it really something that you have overlooked?
Mo Chen suddenly thought of one thing, the night demon who appeared in the Grand Theater of Hele Town before...... How the hell was it summoned? If it's just a matter of the subconscious, why is there only a night demon? Wouldn't his subconscious mind think of something else?
To be reasonable, even if you can't embody the level of Cthulhu, you can make a ***, right?
