Xia Xiu squinted his eyes slightly and looked ahead, in front of him stood a middle-aged man, the man's hair and eyebrows were light-colored, his eyes were a little puffy, and his face was yellow and thin.

He wears an all-black uniform made of sharkskin-textured material, which looks very tough, similar to leather armor; The sleeves are trimmed with red stripes, and the bottoms are loose black trousers with red stripes on the trouser legs.

He wears a black round hat with a small metal badge engraved with special syllable characters on the front of the hat.

Xia Xiu can read and understand the words on it, these words are like the unique Mimu characters in the dream realm, as long as you see it, you can know the meaning of the characters.

【Truth】

That's what the middle-aged man's hat means.

What's even more interesting is that there is a special character under the string of icons marked 101 in front of it, and under the character is an unusually majestic eye, which has no trace of emotion in its gaze, only ruthless scrutiny and control, as if to convey a warning: You can't escape my surveillance, I know everything about you.

This eye is also surrounded by the inscription - "The truth is watching you!" 】

Xia Xiu tried to clasp his hands, and found that the EVE particles on his body were in serious low-frequency activity, and it was estimated that it would take him half a minute to read the strip if he wanted to perform [Entry] now.

Is this the dream? What a unique opening ceremony.

Just as Xia Xiu was muttering to himself in his heart, there was a middle-aged man's dissatisfied cry and a rapid whistling sound in front of him.

"201, now that you're awake, can you tell me what this is?"

Peng –

Xia Xiu felt a pain in his forehead, and the middle-aged man in uniform opposite smashed a book on his face, the corner of the spine of the book directly broke his forehead, and blood immediately gushed out of the wound, flowing down his eyebrows, wetting his eyes and nose.

Blood dripped from his cheeks and fell to the ground to form a red stain, like a crimson flower slowly blooming, and blood was still flowing from his forehead, as if a red stream was flowing down from the top of his head.

Somatologically, it's hard to say it's a dream, because none of the dreams are as real as they are now.

The blonde young man licked his slightly dry lips, blood still dripping from his forehead, he was not angry at the middle-aged man's rough behavior, his eyes were fixed on the black book, the cover of which read—"The Waste Land".

Looking at the book, the blond young man raised his blood-dripping face and replied to the middle-aged man with a calm face:

"This is Eliot's book."

Looking at the calm Xia Xiu, the middle-aged man frowned slightly.

Looks like this newcomer needs to clean up. Hilde said to herself.

Hilde does not hate taming newcomers, and conquering them satisfies their pathological psychological needs.

"Yes, Eliot's book. "The Waste Land", this book is very bad, and it is very, very bad for newcomers who have just moved into [the House of Truth], you know, the head nurse doesn't want patients to hold books like this, these books will only make your mind more confused. ”

Hilde held the black baton and stabbed Xia Xiu's collarbone sitting on the prison chair hard, in the depression of the collarbone, the black baton rubbed hard, and the cold texture of the baton pierced his skin like a needle.

The blonde young man squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Hilde, his golden eyes flashed with a deep ghostly light, the corners of his mouth turned upward, and he said to Hilde with an embarrassed expression:

"It's my first time here, and I don't know much about the rules here."

Hilde pressed the baton in his hand hard, and his large rough palm suddenly grasped the young man's blonde hair, grabbed the other man's hair tightly, and threw his head up sharply.

The slender neck of the blonde youth was jerked into the air, and Hilde placed the cold baton on his handsome face.

"Boy, don't give me a hippie smile, the more I look at your face, the more I look at it, the more angry I am, this is not the outside, and your face can't be used as a tool to replace sympathy, now I'll tell you about the rules of the [House of Truth]."

"Here, obedience is virtue."

"And that's the only truth, there's only one thing you need to do, and that's - obedience!"

At this moment, Heard's yellow thin face revealed a strange madness, and his eyes staring at Xia Xiu seemed to be about to be eaten alive.

“··· Yes, I obey. ”

The blonde young man only frowned slightly after being pulled by his hair, and reacted quickly.

"Good."

Hilde let go of his large, rough hand, and then picked up the "Waste Land" that had fallen to the ground, he spread it out, and then scanned the book like an ugly thief, looking for passages that he found interesting, and soon he found one of the passages, and he began to read it with a sneer.

"April is the season of rejuvenation, and the land is full of green shoots.

The wind was blowing, and the sound of the green leaves blowing through it was like the sound of water flowing.

Summer is coming, butterflies are dancing in the air, wild animals are running through the woods, and people are laughing and talking in the streets.

Beneath these surfaces lies a deep despair and loneliness, the rebirth of this season is both revival and end, and everyone is silently bearing their own life and destiny. ”

After reading it, the mockery on the corners of Hilde's mouth became more and more obvious.

"It's really a heretical existence, you must know that in the [Truth Academy], the electric frequency room surrounded by it is the only existence with beauty."

As he spoke, he pulled out a lighter from his bosom.

Puff –

"And these are heretics!"

The flame of the lighter burned, setting the corners of the pages on fire, igniting the Waste Land, and then Hilde casually threw it on the ground.

The fire gradually spread, the pages were swallowed up little by little, the smoke gradually densed as the flames rose, filling the air, and a corner of the pages was ignited by the fire and burned rapidly, like an open mouth, devouring the entire book.

The firelight illuminated the space around them, reflecting the sickly calm on Hilde's face and the silent calm of the blonde youth.

The flames danced, as if with their own consciousness, dancing between the pages.

The papers, which had once stored knowledge, thoughts, stories, were reduced to ashes in the flames, without a trace, and the sound of burning and the smell of smoke filled the room and made people shudder.

Looking at the blonde young man who bowed his head and was silent, Hilde looked like a victorious general, and he looked up at the other party and said:

"As punishment for your book collection, you should be locked up here for three days."

With that, Heard was about to turn and leave.

"You're a firefighter in the Daevite Empire, you burn a book just like they do, holding it between your fingers, pinching a corner of it, and lighting it."

A gentle voice stopped Hilde, and when he heard the firefighters of the Daevite Empire, his body couldn't help but tremble, he felt his brain itch, something was about to grow out of it.

Hilde knelt on the ground in pain, clutching his head.

Damn it!

Don't come out!

Don't come out!

Knock Knock Knock –

A rhythmic tapping sounded, and Hilde looked back at the source of the sound.

On the prison chair, the handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes did not hide the disgust in his eyes, he looked at Hilde kneeling on the ground like a king, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and the index finger of his right hand was constantly tapping on the handle of the prison chair.

"In the "Ocean of Ether: Dream Rules", there is a mention of the [forbidden law] of the Mimu catalyst and the phase space of the dream.

Ordinary individuals must accept the connection of the dream mother catalyst when they enter the dream state, which will limit the normal phase space thinking related to the dreamer's thought process. In other words, for non-thaumaturgists, there is an untouchable [forbidden law] in the dream world.

If these [forbidden laws] are destroyed without removing the mi-mother catalyst and the probability field, the uncontrolled "release" of cognitive phase space will cause neural activity to go out of control. Rapid and erratic neural activity typically results in severe seizures, followed by generalized lung failure and arrhythmias that may interfere with subconscious neural activity due to the erosion of memory on the mimatera. ”

Xia Xiu looked at Hilde, whose face was pale, and said with a smile:

"[Prohibition 1]: Do not expose the address, identity, name and other relevant details in reality."

"Because this will allow the dreamer to quickly break through the mental blockade and perceive his own position in the regular phase space."

"To circumvent [Forbidden Law 1] is actually very simple, that is, to enter the [Dream Doublemind] early, that is, to believe in two or more contradictory things at the same time, without feeling contradictory, for thaumaturgists who can observe the [Aetheric Ocean], of course, they can imagine what the dream space is like, and naturally they can quickly avoid it, and for ordinary people, the [Aetheric Ocean] is too far away."

The blonde young man spoke like a good teacher to Hilde, who was clutching his headache in front of him.

"The more detailed you describe your position in this world, the greater the [forbidden law] you will touch, well, I'll continue to help you remember the customs of your homeland, and explain to you why I was so quick to realize that you are a firefighter in the Daevite Empire."

"Please... No... Please don't say it, don't..." Hilde stretched out his right hand to Xia Xiu and begged for mercy with a sad face.

"If you ask me not to say it, I won't say it, it's so shameless." The blonde youth replied with a bright smile.

Looking at the miserable Hilde, Xia Xiu continued to speak without hurry:

"The Daevite Empire, the most powerful anomalous state, has become highly transcendent internally. Within the Empire, all Daevite people had a timer that showed the rest of their lives, and all currency was in time. The upper echelons of the empire are responsible for managing and controlling the lifespan and time of the people within the empire, with the lower echelons of the empire needing to work constantly to earn time to survive, while the upper echelons are immortal.

In order to maintain the rule of the system, and the possible second Ane, the Empire issued the Book Burning Order, the Bokanovsky Process, and the Ethnographic Planning Regulations. ”

"Ah!!!!h

Hilde clutched his head and slammed into the floor frantically, memories of himself already appearing in his mind.

In his memory, he was dressed in a special costume for firefighters in the Daevite Empire, all in black with a flame pattern printed on it and the word "451" written on the back, and their hat was also black with a flame pattern on it.

"Please... Don't say it..." Hilde knelt on the floor and pleaded with Xia Xiu in tears.

"Tsk, for your pitiful sake, I won't say anything, but I can't agree to your request in vain, everyone is an adult, and they all understand." Xia Xiu pretended to look at Hilde with compassion and said.

"You... Do you want to... What do I do. Hilde asked Xia Xiufa in the prison chair with a headache over his headache.

"You see I'm still tied, you didn't want to come over and help me unshackle." Xia Xiu compared his own hands,

"Yes, yes, it's me... I'll go over and help you untie it right away. Hilde replied with a humble nod, his current headache was about to crack, and if the blonde young man in the prison chair suddenly said a few words, he would really crack.

Just as he was about to get up to untie the shackles in pain, he saw the index finger of the blonde young man sitting in the prison chair swaying from side to side in his right hand like a needle, and the other party's golden eyes said to him with a gentle smile:

"No, no, no, I don't want you to walk over and unshackle me."

Hilde pulled out a far-fetched smile and asked:

"What do you mean..."

When he said this, he saw the bloodied head of the blond young man raised slightly, the corners of his mouth with a playful smile, his index finger hooked back and forth like a walking dog, and said to him in a dog-like tone:

"Crawl over here."

Hilde's face was as ugly as eating at this time, and he stared at the blonde youth in front of him with wide eyes, and as if he saw his dissatisfaction, the blonde youth opened his mouth and whispered:

"The temperature at which the paper burns is 451 Fahrenheit. This is one of the most famous words among Daevite firefighters. ”

Fahrenheit··· 451····

The pain was sharp again, and Hilde felt like he had been hit in the head with a fire axe.

"Daevite firefighters are generally planned to be ·····"

"I'm climbing! I climb! I climb! ”

Hilde interrupted Xia Xiu's words violently, his limbs shook back and forth vigorously, and he came to Xia Xiu in an embarrassed manner, and then took out the key tremblingly and untied the shackles on the other party's hands.

When the shackles were opened, Xia Xiu slowly stood up while moving the joints of his hands.

"You were quite skilled at smashing just now, it seems that you have smashed a lot of people." The blonde young man clutched his bleeding forehead and looked at Hilde, who was still on his knees.

Hilde said in a trembling manner:

"I ······"

Bump –

As Hield spoke, the blonde youth's right leg slapped against his opponent's right cheek as if he were playing football.

Peng –

Hilde was directly volleyed into the corner, and several broken teeth fell to the ground along with the blood on the way to fly, and at this time, the blonde youth came to Hilde without hurry, the boot on his right leg stepped directly on his head, and his face was full of bright smiles.

"You had a great time, didn't you?"

"Woo woo woo~"
