Chapter 44: Expulsion
The current situation reminds me of the allusion of Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, Zhuang Zhou and butterfly, which one is true and which one is false, no one knows. If I am in a dream, then the Wen Min I see now, as well as the qiē I experienced before, are they also a spring and autumn dream?
But these experiences are so real that it is impossible to combine them with dreams.
Thinking of this, I looked at Lazy and Wen Min, these two people know more about nightmares, so I said: "Now I'm entangled in whether it's a dream or not, no one can prove it, I think it's better to find a way first." Wen Min sighed and said, "I've been looking for it, but the surrounding environment has been changing, and I can't get out." ”
I thought about it, slowly sorted out my thoughts in my mind, and then came up with an idea, and said, "Let's assume that the current qiē is a dream, then all the people in front of us are not fake?" In this way, the qiē that we experience, the qiē that we see, will be dominated by our own consciousness, and in this case, we will experience the same dream. If, as you said, we are not dreaming, as you said, we will be pulled into it at any time without realizing it, then the dream we experience will not be the same. ”
Wen Min nodded, frowned, and said, "Yes, what can you do?" ”
I said, "Let's find a way first, but before that, let's tie each other up with ropes." If it is the second case, if you do this, there will be no situation before you and Team Liu and the others, and there are so many of us, as long as the willpower is strong enough, it is impossible to fall asleep at the same time. Then when the rest of the people have an accident, other sober people can continue to look for a way out. ”
Wen Min nodded immediately, and his tired expression finally showed a smile, and he said in surprise: "This idea is indeed feasible. But...... What if it's the first case? ”
I continued, "If it's the first one, then we can't trust anyone now, you won't believe that I'm real, and in the same way, I can't believe that you're real, but dreaming is actually a means of deceiving people. You said that you have been in this sacrificial tower several times before, so it can be seen that the scope of this nightmare is actually limited, and perhaps, the dream it creates cannot be separated from this sacrificial platform. ”
Wen Min was a smart person, and immediately answered with a deep groan: "So, in the case that the sacrificial tower has no secret passage, it is actually very easy for us to get out. If I can't get out, it means you're a fake. ”
"Yes." I nodded and said, "This method is not only useful for you, but also for any of us to recognize our own position." ”
Hari Chagai leaned against the coffin and said to me with a smile: "You kid usually doesn't say anything, but his head turns very fast. However, have you forgotten about the one-eyed dragon? If the second scenario arises, then the person who does not dream may be attacked a lot, or there will be a scuffle between the people who are dreaming, what will happen then? ”
Actually, I thought about this problem, but I couldn't come up with any solution, so I said, "There is only this problem now, and if we solve this problem, we can put the plan into action." ”
Sitting by the fire at this moment, the warmth brought by the warm light of the fire could not drive away the chill in my heart at all. I'm thinking about another question, if it's a dream, then is the eye of heaven that I got really obtained?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take that thing out. The texture of the entire Tianyan is like jade and not jade, and when I held it in the water before, I only felt that the tentacles were cold, but now it has a warmth. Wen Min looked at it carefully for a moment and said, "Is it it?" Can its quality really save the corpse fairy? "It's her who told me the news of Tianyan, but now that she really sees such a gadget, it really makes people suspicious.
I nodded, my mind still caught up in the previous question, and didn't say much. The Eye of Heaven was obtained before we saw the Nightmare, so it should be real, right?
I touched it hard and settled on it.
However, at this moment, I suddenly felt goosebumps on my body, and in the darkness, a feeling of being watched was spontaneously born. It's a feeling I'm familiar with, and I had that reaction when I walked into that nightmarish passage. Later, I switched places with the one-eyed dragon, and the one-eyed dragon fell asleep.
Could it be that the nightmares came out?
My muscles tightened, and I turned my head sharply to look in the direction from which the peeping sensation was coming from. It was only pitch black, just the feeling of being watched, but it was so obvious and clear that it was hard for me to ignore.
This action of mine attracted the attention of Wen Min and the others, Wen Min frowned slightly, and said, "Chen Hang, what's wrong?" ”
They didn't seem to feel anything, and I couldn't help but say, "You guys, do you feel that something is watching us?" Wen Min and Hari Chagai glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time. I looked at the sleeping one-eyed dragon and wondered if it was my hallucination, or if I had sensed a nightmare.
But why is it only me who can sense it?
Nightmares, in myths and legends, do not belong to the category of ghosts, Hari Chagai, the shaman, can't sense it, but people with such a keen sense of laziness don't sense it, but I have it.
What's going on?
The feeling of peeping was intense, and I even had the feeling that the thing was approaching us. It was as if there was an invisible ghost, staring at us with burning eyes, walking towards us step by step.
I stared at the direction, when in fact, there were only stone walls.
Wen Min almost thought I was going to fall asleep, she walked up to me, her eyes were worried, and when I was about to speak, I suddenly felt that the feeling of peeping suddenly relaxed, as if the invisible ghost had suddenly disappeared.
I was a little stunned, almost wondering if I was sane, but at this moment, the lazy man yawned, and tears followed the corners of his eyes, looking like he was sleepy to the extreme. He said, "You guys take your time, and I'll get some sleep first." Then he lay down by the fire.
When the red hair heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, grabbed his hair, and said, "People are more popular than people, this kid, how can you sleep so comfortably at any time." ”
As soon as his voice fell, Wen Min and I reflected at the same time, shouting that it was not good!
Where the nightmare is, people are extremely easy to get sleepy, and the most taboo is to sleep, and it is impossible for lazy people not to know! But now he says that he is sleeping, is he going to sleep? When I thought of that sense of peeping just now, I immediately understood that it was a precursor to the appearance of the nightmare!
For a moment I was shocked, and I didn't think much about why only I could sense it, so I jumped over the fire and jumped to the lazy thing, and without saying a word, I punched him in the face.
The lazy man had just closed his eyes, and I went down with this fist, and immediately woke him up, he covered his face, seemed to be sober, and finally said, "Thank you." ”
It's very cool to punch someone, and at the end the person says thank you to you, especially when this person is still someone you want to beat but can't beat on weekdays. I said in my heart that the only benefit of Nightmares is probably this.
At the moment when the lazy man woke up, the feeling of being spied on suddenly became stronger, and I immediately shouted: "The nightmare is out, everyone keeps their minds, this thing mainly depends on human willpower."
Since the red hair was parasitic and injured, he has become very weak, and then the one-eyed dragon has gone crazy, and I have to take care of the two of them, so along the way, they are all lazy people in the lead, and the physical and mental consumption is very large, so the fatigue is also the strongest.
It is estimated that he is too tired and difficult to improve his spirits, so he gives Nightmare a chance to take advantage of it. And at this moment, I also noticed something that I had overlooked.
The people of the Silkworm Devouring Ancient City must have a way to deal with these nightmares, and the reason why they make these nightmares is to prevent some outsiders from sneaking in. In other words, these nightmares actually exist as a kind of guardian body.
So, what do they guard?
01?
At this moment, I have an answer in my heart, not so much to protect 01, but to protect the Tianyan that suppressed 01, after all, this thing is an artifact of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and it is easy for people to peep. And now, this celestial eye has always been on me, and perhaps it really has some strange power that allows me to sense nightmares.
And judging from these two 'face-to-face' experiences with Nightmare, it seems that it has no way to do anything to me.
Now that it's out of the lazy body, who's next? I didn't care to explain more, so I immediately took the eye of heaven in my hand and stood in the center of the crowd, feeling the sense of peeping, while telling a few people what I had just speculated about, and asking them to gather around me.
The whole process lasted for more than twenty minutes, and the nightmares held us invisibly in an almost hunting posture. Eventually, it seemed to finally give up, and the sense of peeping suddenly vanished. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and several people leaned close together, placing the Heavenly Eye in the middle, forming an invisible barrier.
At this time, looking at the one-eyed dragon who was still asleep, an idea popped up in my heart, I wonder if Tianyan can wake him up from his dream?
I tried to put the eye of heaven on the chest of the cyclops, but I didn't see any reaction for a long time, could it be that if I fell into a dream too deeply, the eye of heaven would lose its effect? Just when I was about to give up this method, suddenly, as if the jade heavenly eye, a black qi suddenly appeared, and the black qi vaguely looked like a human form, and it only appeared in the heavenly eye for a moment, and then suddenly disappeared, as if it was digested by the heavenly eye.
At the same time, the cyclops opened its eyes violently.
