39 The House of Nightmares - The End
"You want to know who I am?"
Hearing Zhang Luo's question, the long-haired young man lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes and sighed, "I can't answer this question because I don't know who I am." ”
"Even if you don't have a name, you should know where you came from, right?" Zhang Luo asked.
As a guy who always has to find out the root of unknown puzzles, in the face of such an unknown character, he naturally will not stop there.
Although he didn't know the name of the long-haired boy, Zhang Luo could see that this person was obviously more than one level higher than the kidney-deficient Morpheus just now.
I don't know if it's because of something like "divine power" or "spiritual pressure", Zhang Luo, who was standing in front of the young man, immediately found that it was impossible for him to attack this person.
Not to mention making an action, even the thoughts with the intention to attack will be erased at the moment they appear. If this is an online game, you are now a player standing in the "safe zone", and you can't attack at all!
As if reading his thoughts, the boy smiled, "You're wondering why you can't attack me, right?" The reason is very simple, because this is a dream. ”
"Are you the ruler of dreams?" Zhang Luo looked at the childish "little boy" in front of him.
If Morpheus is just a weak puppet, then this seemingly innocent but unfathomable teenager really deserves the title of "god"!
Hearing this, the young man immediately shook his head: "I am not a ruler, but a manager of dreams. As for my name...... You can call me 'Zhou Gong'. ”
"Did you write "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation"?" Zhang Luo made a joke.
"No, the time when I was born was actually after the appearance of that book, and I have nothing to do with the real 'Zhou Gong' in history, just a product born because of people's wishes." There was a smile on the young man's delicate face, but there was a bleak taste in his voice:
"You've probably heard of the saying 'God is born of the prayers of men,' right? I thought this was how it was born, but no one told me if it was or not. Because I've been here alone since I became conscious, and I've never left. ”
"I kind of understand what's going on." Zhang Luo nodded.
It seems that the young man standing in front of him is a dream god born out of wishes, if this is the case, then the "Morpheus" just now is obviously -
"Morpheus is a puppet you made, right?" Zhang Luo put forward his own inference.
"That's right, I'm just tired of people's dreams, so I made that guy to do my job. But then I found out that it was a failure. In any case, he is the embodiment of God, and it is stupid that his power has been seized by a human named 'Freddy'......"
Speaking of this, the young man changed his words: "However, how do you see that Morpheus is just a puppet?" ”
"I didn't find out until halfway through, after all, for a god, that guy is too weak. And his way of speaking is too 'kind', not at all like the ancient Greek Oneiroi, but more like a neighbor. Zhang Luo smiled.
Even Zhang Luo, who is "dominant" in terms of curiosity, does not think that his current self has the ability to kill gods, and when he killed the incarnation of Morpheus in the second room, he had some doubts.
And these questions are finally answered in the fourth room:
Morpheus is not really Oneiroi, but a doppelganger created by Oneiroi, but even so, he seems to have accomplished a great feat......
Thinking of this, Zhang Luo couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face. And this smile naturally did not escape the eyes of the young man:
"Yes, I'm Oneiroi, who manages this area. So the puppets I created do have a kind of 'Chinese style', which is also unavoidable. The boy whispered.
"So, there are other Oneiroi besides you, right?" Zhang Luo asked.
"That's right, the Oneiroi of the Western world was originally Morpheus, but since a hundred years ago he has become a man named Sigmund. Freud's man, you're not so lucky if you meet him, he's much more dangerous than me. At the mention of this name, the boy frowned slightly, as if he remembered some bad memory.
Freud...... That guy has become a god? Zhang Luo muttered to himself. Even he didn't expect that the real body of the current Western "God of Dreams" would be the famous psychologist.
Still recalling the content of Freud's book "The Interpretation of Dreams" that he had read before, the young and soft voice interrupted Zhang Luo's thoughts:
"I'm really sorry about Morpheus attacking you. In fact, I didn't know it before, and when I arrived, I realized that you had already left. But it's been a pleasure to talk to you this time, and in compensation, I can teach you the true 'Dream Control Method'. What do you think? ”
"Ha, then I'd be respectful and obey." Zhang Luo bowed according to the ancient etiquette, but unfortunately with his undressed posture, there was no politeness at all.
Seeing his appearance, the young man couldn't help laughing again:
"You're such an interesting guy, and I'm looking forward to meeting you again one day."
……
When Zhang Luo opened his eyes again, the first thing that caught his eye was the pale ceiling of the bedroom and the round glass chandelier hanging on it.
I pinched my thigh, making sure I was back in the real world. He immediately checked the skill slot of the "Executioner's Eye", and as expected, saw a new skill at the bottom:
Dream Control (Level 1): The ability to control one's dreams at will, and can only be activated when you are about to fall asleep and your consciousness is hazy. When used when very conscious, it may cause a mental disorder effect for a short period of time.
"It's no different from lucid dreams." Zhang Luo was a little disappointed.
- Completely incomparable to Freddy's ability to sneak into other people's dreams and kill people, this legendary "dream control method" can only control one's own dreams at the moment, and may also have side effects.
But no matter what, this skill is only level 1 after all. If the level is raised to a certain level, it will be easy to surpass Freddy's ability to take away from "Morpheus".
After all, his abilities do not come from puppets, but are taught by the real "Oneiroi". In terms of level alone, it is a notch higher than Freddy!
"Don't think about it so much, let's go to bed first, and try to have a dream of falling in love with the 'sewer mermaid'......"
Just when Zhang Luo was full of interest and was about to try the "dream control" skill he had just learned, a female voice from the TV ruthlessly interrupted his thoughts:
"What are you thinking about that is not serious?"
Turning his head, he saw Bloody Mary coming out of the TV screen in the bedroom, Zhang Luo said angrily: "Do you usually trespass on private houses like this?" ”
"You think I'm willing to come, I'm here to deliver a message from Lord Frankenstein." Lori in the black dress who had just climbed out frowned, looking reluctant:
"Lord Frankenstein asks you, would you like to participate in the upcoming 'Halloween Killing Race'?"
