"The brainwave pulse has taken effect, the subject is awake, and all physical indicators are normal."

Even if Yi Chen was hung in the air by the fishing line, he felt the feeling of a foreign object coming from his palm for the first time, and the card obtained from the nightmare gift box actually returned to reality.

Although it seems to be awakened, and Kim and Reagan are also around, it is not entirely certain that this is the reality.

Verification is a must.

Yi Chen didn't have time to greet his companions, so he rushed into the locker room as soon as possible to change into his gentleman's clothes, sensing the existence of the yellow skin and the ancient soul contract signed between them.

Compared with the less gentlemanly behavior of pricking the body with needles, whipping the whole body with chains, and openly hanging,

It's better to wear the costume directly, this mysterious leather that can disrupt the source of the Old World, and the ancient connection between the two, no matter how powerful the nightmare is, it is impossible to fake.

§You seem to be given some kind of strange nightmare substance, which does not disperse but maintains a fixed form§

The first time Huang Pi put on his body, he transmitted the sound, obviously sensing the existence of the card.

"That's right, because I took the initiative to go deep into the nightmare and connect with the nightmare factor of the suspected pathogen, the other party gave me this card, but I didn't expect it to be brought to reality."

After Yi Chen gave an answer, Huang Pi stopped talking.

"It's so hot~"

The sleeping clothes developed by the power station are not breathable at all, and due to the rapid metabolism caused by the high tension during the dream, the whole body is slippery and full of sweat stains when you take off the clothing.

Considering the possible threat of the card, Yi Chen wore a gentleman's costume and showered himself in the bathroom.

By the way, I also took out the card in my pocket to see what it was.

Like a living card, the surface is covered with billowing ink-colored substance, swimming and amorphous.

As Yi Chen stared at it for a long time, the ink on it began to transform into ancient words.

≮Nightmare Admission Ticket≯

-

(Note) There is also an oh on the back.

As Yi Chen flipped to the back of the card, the ink quickly condensed into rows of smaller fonts.

≮ If you want to really get to know me, go to Rotka Street-83 and show your card to the gentleman who lives here, and he will show you something even more interesting.

Remember to come alone, if you have any followers, or find out that you are being watched, you will not 'trigger an event'.

This card is only for you to use~ If it is seen by others, it will quickly disintegrate and become invalid. ≯

Looking at the information on the back of the card, Yi Chen's brows tightened.

The above information indicates that the nightmare has infiltrated Zion, and it is very likely that the gentleman who lives at 83 Rotka Street-has been controlled by the nightmare, or even completely parasiticized.

At this moment, Yi Chen's brain thought at high speed:

"Once discovered, the card will be invalid, severing my connection to the nightmare.

Let's hide it for the time being, this line can't be lost yet, at present our understanding of nightmares is basically zero, and we must use any means to explore the root of nightmares.

As for the address given on the card and the corresponding person, even if I inform the organization of an assassination of him, it won't have much of an impact on the nightmare.

Since there is a gentleman affected by nightmares in Zion, there must be more affected gentlemen.

Whew~ Let's do it for the time being, let's first summarize with you the effective information from the first experience of the nightmare."

Yi Chen packed the nightmare card into the mezzanine of the garment created by the yellow skin, which was isolated multiple times, and it was impossible to find it unless the tailor disassembled the garment.

……

【Power Plant-General Meeting Room】

The three testers and the relevant personnel of the power station are sitting here.

Everyone first recounted their experiences, and the way they explored and the information they received were different.

The way of gold is the simplest and most effective.

"I've been trapped in a square loop of passages since I killed the fake William's Nightmare Substance, and since I couldn't find an exit, I had to start wreathing.

Because of the large space, the red cancer in my body quickly completed the environmental infection, and the entire passage was invaded by cancer cells.

Then I found a random wall to blast, and when I reached a blast thickness of about 30 meters, I finally touched the boundary of the dream, and I could clearly feel that as soon as I crossed the border, I would wake up directly.

It's so boring, I thought there would be a strong enemy, but it turned out to be only a poor imitator and a simple looping maze. ”

Jin casually rubbed out a sarcoma bubble gum, his slender tongue stretched out from the lower end of the mask and rolled away the bubble gum, one hand supporting his face, and the whole person looked listless.

And then there's Reagan's statement,

"The moment I entered the dream, I completed my 'self-awareness', and I could clearly feel that the nightmare substance wanted to invade my brain, which was blocked by my mental force field.

Instead of killing the staff in the Nightmare Material disguise, I created an internal space to imprison them.

During the three-hour exploration period, I tried to perform a structural analysis of the nightmare substance and study the mechanism by which nightmares affect dreams.

Finally came to a conclusion,

The impact of nightmares on us is only superficial, and if we want to explore, we must go deeper, and in the layer where the concentration of nightmares is high enough, we may be able to locate the root cause of nightmares.

By crushing the humans disguised as nightmare substances, dissociating them into the most basic liquid state, and then structurally remodeling, I try to create a "nightmare ladder" that can connect to the depths.

Eventually, due to its instability, the staircase only lasted three seconds before it collapsed.

If I had one more chance, I would have been able to condense a more stable ladder. ”

Reagan didn't just pay lip service,

He even took a pen and paper to write down the principle of his analysis of the nightmare and the way he created the 'ladder', which shocked all the people present.

Even Yi Chen was surprised, he didn't expect that Reagan would be able to do this in three hours of initial exploration.

Next, it was Yi Chen's turn to elaborate.

"I'm in a similar situation to Reagan, and I'm aware of the existence of the Nightmare Level. It's just that I can't make a 'staircase' to the depths like Reagan did, and instead I use a stupid method. ”

These words also attracted Reagan's attention, and he could roughly guess what the stupid solution was, "William, are you ......?"

"That's right, I chose to actively ingest the Nightmare Substance, waking up directly on the next layer after eating the tentacles that attacked me. If nothing else, the tentacles taste pretty good. ”

Time

The eyes of the people present looked at Yi Chen, especially these power station personnel engaged in scientific research, as if they were looking at a madman.

"What's going on at the bottom?" Principal Decelyn asked.

"The Nightmare Substance was more concentrated, but I was awakened before I could fully explore...... Since Reagan had a more stable way of going deeper, I still don't recommend using this stupid method. ”

"Hmm."

The three of them got more information than expected,

Among them, the information of Reagan's creation of the Nightmare Ladder is the most important, and more personnel will be arranged to go to the Nightmare in the future to try the principles given by Reagan to create the Ladder.

There is also a very important thing - "self-awareness".

Except for Reagan, whose mental power is too perverted and completes cognition in the moment of falling asleep, ordinary people often need to discover the discord in the nightmare to be realized.

The organization will subsequently reinforce the thinking of the dream testers in response to this.

End of the meeting,

Due to his crazy actions in the dream world, Yi Chen was forced to take a full test to ensure that he was not infected by the nightmare before he was released. However, the intervention of Principal Daisling greatly shortened the testing time, and she was able to detect that everything was normal with Yi Chen.

"You go back and rest for a while, and then we will definitely arrange for the three of you to fall asleep.

This contribution will be reported to the organization, and the corresponding reward will be given above. ”

Daislin looked at the three people in front of her with admiration, especially staying on Yi Chen for a few more seconds, and even used her eyes to convey a message, allowing him to go to the principal's office to discuss the magic of the stars.

Yi Chen walked in the front and beckoned, "Reagan, Kim~ I'm still in for a treat tonight, go have a good meal." ”

As soon as he heard what he was eating, Reagan instantly came to his senses, and the flesh on his face trembled, and a large number of restaurant names appeared in his mind and the dishes were sifted in advance.

On the way out of the research institute,

At the end of the straight passage, a power station employee was standing in front of the column-shaped identification device, his whole face leaning in, as if he was about to hit it.

This scene made Yi Chen slightly surprised.

But there was no follow-up impact, just a malfunction of the equipment, and the man was trying to repair it.

When the three approached, the employee also turned around and put on a smiling face, "Director Reagan!" Sorry, there was a bit of a problem with the identification device, and it was fixed right away. ”

"Erwan. Pound ......"

Yi Chen looked at this person's face and couldn't help but say his name.

After all, it was too familiar, and in the dream loop, Yi Chen witnessed this person's crazy face bump a total of 27 times.

"Huh? Do we know each other? ”

When this person moved his gaze to Yi Chen, the smile on his face obviously hadn't changed much, but it felt quite similar to the smirk when his face was shattered in a nightmare.

At that moment, the detection device suddenly became good and the safety door opened.

Erwan. Pound stood in place the whole time, smiling as the three of them left.
