Chapter 52: The Infinite Corridor
Otto was a little different from the young men and women who were lying in the basement, the former because of his peculiarity, so he did not receive dream therapy like they did.
It's better to say the other way around, those young men and women are a special group, although they can consume their souls and lifespans to use spiritual abilities like normal psionics, and can summon fantasy swords that are indestructible, but unlike normal psionics, they are not able to reproduce their delusional fantasies into reality, and the so-called psionic abilities are not as treacherous and changeable as other psionics, but are limited to one or two specific types, so dream therapy can be effective for them.
Since the details are still unclear, Alex has only confirmed the fact that they are defective as psionic beings, and has also taken the opportunity of the previous call to share this information with Wu Ming.
If they were all psykers who could actually dream and manifest their abilities and use spiritual abilities without any type of restrictions, then even if Alex, Yang Yu, Tu Dou, and Ma Lingshu worked overtime to burst their livers and weave dreams, it would be impossible to weave the dreams that trapped these people by moving their hairlines back by two centimeters.
That's why Otto is now so energetic in front of Alex...... Scream.
"Otto, calm down......" Seeing Otto so badly, Alex had to stop moving forward, this is a residential area after all, if he continues to scream like this, I'm afraid it will make noise to the neighbors.
Unfortunately, however, Alex seemed to have forgotten that the language did not speak to each other, and the kindness he tried to express through words had no effect, and the old hunter quickly changed his tactics after realizing this, quietly driving the Transcendent Power Weaving Technique, and then clapping his hands lightly at Otto.
The formless, substantial, transcendent power rippled through the basement with the sound of clapping hands, silently spreading towards Otto, who was cowering in the corner.
Otto's agitated and frightened spirit gradually relaxed under the soothing of extraordinary power, an inexplicable sleepiness came to his mind, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, his thoughts became rigid with the appearance of sleepiness, and his words became a little unfavorable.
"You...... You don't want to ...... Near...... I ......"
Now he has only one thought: to get some good sleep.
But just as Otto was about to fall asleep, Alex's voice suddenly woke him up!
The rows of psykers lying on the ground, with their mats, had disappeared at some point, as if they had never existed, and the entire basement was empty, leaving only Otto and Alex looking at each other.
He was asleep.
"Otto, I still have something I want to ask you." Alex pushed his glasses with a terrifying oppressive force, his voice slightly suppressed and hoarse because of the anger in his heart, "Tell me, how many people have you spread the truth potion to in the past year?" ”
"Except for you...... How many ordinary people are still victimized and transformed? Where are they? What will the truth do for them? Tell me all about your experience from the beginning of your contact with the potion of truth. ”
…………
Stepping over the dressing mirror that ripples like the surface of a lake, it is like passing through a thin film of water, like the moistness of liquid enveloping Wu Ming.
When he opened his eyes after a trance in front of him, Wu Ming had already taken the Crimson Queen to the castle hall of the Lucky Ancient God Office, the atrium hall that had been split in half by the giant axe.
This time, he didn't come to the office specifically to find his immediate boss, so there was no need to teleport directly to the director's office.
It was only as soon as he passed through the mirror portal to the atrium hall of the office that the crimson queen in his hand began to compare in a whisper.
"Huh? The scene outside suddenly changed? ”
"Is that one you just walked through a portal?"
"It's a pity that Crimson can only perceive the outside world through the laptop's built-in camera and microphone, and I don't know what it's like to go through the portal."
"But this is really convenient~ It would be nice if Crimson also had this ability, so that Crimson can go wherever she wants~ There is no need to sell labor in order to travel around~"
"Big brother big brother ~ Crimson's previous owner has exceeded the points, since he was sent to Yan Du to take over, Crimson has been locked up in a small black room every day, and Crimson has to connect to the Internet and transmit extraordinary power through social software to control other people's minds, if it weren't for the big brother coming this time, I might have to take refuge in the online world......"
Wu Ming didn't show too much surprise at the Crimson Queen's words, when the former traced the source of the captured abnormal signal to find the Crimson Queen, she had revealed a lot of information by swiping the screen.
Wu Ming has now sorted out the following items:
The crimson queen's traits, abilities, and mechanism.
She has traveled several times: from the tombstone at the beginning, to the bus, to the cross necklace, the suitcase, the cruise ship, the plane, the mobile phone, etc., she has followed the traveler to many places on the earth in this way, until a strange organization captures it and fixes it on the computer.
The action after being sent to Yandu, and the trigger mechanism of the meme that has been modified to spread on the Internet.
Because he couldn't bear the oppression of the previous master (self-proclaimed), he thought about how to get out of the online world when he was sending extraordinary power to the Internet.
The previous owner decided to expand her influence and let her do her best to broaden the transmission path of extraordinary power on other mobile phone software, and liked to secretly use her to scold people online in the middle of the night.
Crimson told Wu Ming everything she knew, and a large part of it was complaining about the previous user, but she didn't know if she was deliberately making things difficult, or if there was something else to hide, this information was not only fragmented but also scattered in time, and there was a big error between each other in chronological order, so until now, Wu Ming had only sorted out these few complete pieces of information.
"He must be a voyeur, squatting in his chair day and night staring at the computer, and often changing crimson auto-prophecy ......"
In the midst of the Crimson Queen's chatter, Wu Ming quickly passed through the Hall of the Great Axe, turned left and walked towards the [Infinite Corridor] used to store and house anomalous objects and other threatening and extraordinary creatures.
As the director introduced to him, this is a corridor with the concept of 'infinity', although it seems to be only a corridor that looks like only forty or fifty meters, lined with wooden doors leading to individual rooms, and even if you go to the end, there are only twenty or thirty rooms at most, but in fact it contains countless anomalous objects and threatening transcendent beings from all over the universe.
Whenever a new anomalous object or paranormal creature needs to be contained, the room at the entrance of this corridor will automatically move backwards by one bit, and a new room will be regenerated in the original vacant room 1 location that has been automatically adjusted to the best containment environment. Modifying the underlying reality in which they could not reach the end of the infinite corridor by various means and modules such as three-dimensional spatial coordinate points, they still enjoyed this behavior, and even counted the length of the measurement as a challenge and entertainment - so far the number one in the rankings Olga has explored and measured the length of space 114514 billion light years, and no one has surpassed this measurement value so far.
The director explained that the concept of 'infinity' beyond the mortal realm was used here, and that theoretically, as long as Olga did not stop exploring, the path would continue to stretch forward......
However, the director did not explain why the corridors were lined with wooden doors when they were already infinitely long and automatically generated into rooms.
Upon entering the iconic round-arched bronze door of the Infinity Corridor, the first thing you see is a reception desk-like place, where a little chestnut-haired girl with a ponytail and round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose is dozing off at the counter.
The chestnut-haired girl, Mia, is the caretaker here, responsible for documenting and managing all anomalous objects and threatening otherworldly beings.
If anything, this should be the third time he's been here, but the first two times he'd never had a good conversation with the administrators.
The first time was that the director led him over to recognize the door, but he didn't stay long, and the second time because he stayed up all night on the first day, and he had to rush to report the situation to the director, he didn't stay here long after handing over Konstantin and the time microwave oven, and he didn't even wait for the test report of the anomaly to come out and left.
Wu Ming lightly slammed the table twice, and then showed a polite and kind smile to Mia, who woke up suddenly.
"Mia, there's an anomaly that I just recovered today that I need your help identifying. Also, I request access to the containment materials of the Infinity Corridor. ”
