Chapter 3186 Dream Traveler

"This is what is said in the novel. Things like 'superpowers' or 'supernatural powers' are double-edged swords. Whether it is strengthening the muscles or strengthening the brain, improving computing power and releasing strong brain waves, it needs a steady stream. The energy support of the 'reborn' superpower, the cells are vicious monsters, and without sufficient nutrition, they will devour the owner's body in turn."

Li Yao thought to himself, "My current state is a bit like 'burning my life, overdrawing my life'."

Anyway, judging by the author's appearance, he couldn't stop for a while, and it was impossible for Li Yao to hang on the outer wall all the time—even though the night was quiet, there would always be residents coming home from night shift, and it would be very embarrassing if they were discovered.

Li Yao evaluated his combat effectiveness.

Although at the peak of his physical fitness, he can tear dumbbell plates with his hands, but when he is hungry, he doesn't think he can fight against a street police station with strong soldiers.

How about going out to replenish some energy first?

I tiptoed back the same way, left the community very far, and then walked back to the main road. I found a 24-hour convenience store, bought a whole five boxes of chocolate peanut candies and a dozen cans of energy drinks, and went to a poor street. I found a secluded place in the back alley, stuffed all the chocolate peanut candies and drinks, and the flustered feeling was relieved a little.

Looking at the credit card overdraft limit displayed on the phone, Li Yao secretly sighed.

I hope all the mysteries can be solved as soon as possible, at least someone will tell him what's going on, otherwise, just taking in so many high-energy nutrients every day, his wallet can't stand it.

At this time, it was about two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, Li Yao was not in a hurry to steal the outline, he was going to wait for the darkest time before dawn, and also the most sleepy time before dawn. The author is not hardcore, he must sleep, right?

I'm not planning to go back to school tonight, so let's pay attention to the news of the shooting at the T3 game exhibition while there is no one there.

For some reason, Li Yao always felt that this shooting happened strangely, and it was inextricably linked with the death of the famous novelist and cartoonist.

Logging in to the game forum again, the follow-up news of the shooting gradually fermented.

There were a total of four gunmen, three of whom were killed on the spot in the exchange of fire with the police, and one was injured and arrested. It was a bit unexpected. According to the latest official investigation results, the four gunmen were all white men with clean net worth. He has a normal job and a happy family, and has nothing to do with extremist organizations, so he doesn't look like a crazy terrorist.

However, the authorities carefully searched their remarks on social media, only to find that they joined an organization called "Apocalypse" and believed that "2018, the apocalypse came" was probably a replica of "2012, the end of the world" - nothing more At the end of 2018, the end of the world and the final judgment are coming. A catastrophe that is about to restart the whole world is inevitable. Only by helping God harvest the souls of those who are confused can they get the chance of salvation. After the restart, the world will have a brighter future. And a happy life, and all that, corny stuff.

Whether this little-known "Apocalypse Organization" exists or is it a cover for more well-known extremist organizations is temporarily unknown.

However, dozens of bloody records were added to the list of victims of the shooting at the T3 game exhibition.

In the production team of the game "Star Ring - The Battle of the End", in addition to the "Father of Star Ring" Garriott, two heavyweight producers also died in the hospital, a screenwriter and a scene architect Teachers are the most trusted assistants and friends who have followed Garriott for more than ten years.

Considering that the current completion progress of "Star Ring - The Battle of the End" is only about 70%, the departure of such three heavyweight producers not only means that the game will be skipped indefinitely, even if the production can be completed one day, the final version will definitely It is quite different from the original concept of "Father of the Ring".

It's a pity that no one knows what the "Father of the Star Ring" originally envisioned as "a magnificent final battle that concerns the ultimate future of the universe".

Li Yao found another mobile husband and wife restaurant that opened late at night, and ordered a big bowl of fried rice noodles, with extra eggs, sausage and oil residue, and while eating, he quickly refreshed the web page.

He checked all the major game forums, animation forums, and fantasy literature forums, just to find out if there were any unexpected news about new producers, cartoonists, or novelists.

So far, there is no news as sensational as the T3 game show shooting, but Li Yao found a very interesting post by searching keywords.

This is a post published on a large question-and-answer website, which is actually a response to a question, "How do you evaluate the departure of the Internet writer 'Drunk Crouching Stardust'"?

Li Yao didn't know anything about "Drunk Sleeping Stardust". After searching related entries, he found out that he was an unknown Internet writer. About three months ago, due to myocardial infarction or other reasons, he died in the middle of the night when no one was around. , quietly left this world.

Come to think of it, this question was raised by a loyal reader of "Drunk Lying Stardust", right?

It's a pity that this online writer is really not well-known, except for a few readers, he didn't get much response. The few answers were all about mourning the author and appreciating his works, which didn't help Li Yao much.

But one of the answers caught Li Yao's attention.

"I haven't read the works of 'Drunk Crouching Stardust', but I am not surprised to hear the news of his death. Do you think 'Drunk Crouching Stardust' is just the first one?

“Let me tell you—I am an avid fan of fantasy novels, comics, and games. In the past three years, just the number of domestic and foreign producers of novels, comics, and fantasy entertainment that I have collected have died in accidents or due to illness. , far more than a hundred, the list will be released below!"

The respondent released a series of lists of creators in related fields, followed by their ages and causes of death.

Li Yao took a quick glance, and found that the proportion of domestic and foreign patients was about half and half, and the proportion of deaths and accidents was also half and half, but among the deaths, more than half were under the age of fifty, which seemed a bit shocking.

It's just that most of the creators of fantasy works are not well-known, at most like "Drunk Lying Stardust", they are known to a small number of people in their respective niche fields, six to seven billion people in the world, every day Accidents are happening, and no one has connected their deaths together before.

"The next conclusion, maybe you will think that I am crazy, but please believe that I am not crazy, I am absolutely awake, and the voice in my head will not lie to me."

The respondent went on to write, "So many writers, cartoonists and producers lost their lives one after another, not because of accidents or diseases, but because of some mysterious force manipulating everything, directing a series of tragic deaths .

"I don't know what this force is, nor what its purpose is, but I believe this is just the beginning, the reason is very simple, because the creators who passed away abnormally in the past three years, the popularity and the popularity of their works Influence is not enough, this is just a few cold raindrops before the storm.

"Soon, believe me, soon there will be more heavyweight creators, some of the masters who created our bizarre fantasy worlds, believe me, no matter how normal they seem, their deaths are Accidents are all conspiracy, part of a huge conspiracy!"

This answer has dozens of comments, and it is extremely popular under this question.

But the vast majority of people expressed "opposition" and even cursed at the respondent.

Many people are scolding the respondent for grandstanding and using the deceased to attract attention—whether it is a writer, cartoonist or producer, working at a desk for a long time, turning upside down day and night, high mental stress, and the probability of sudden illness and long-term chronic disease is higher than normal The profession is much higher. In three years, what can the deaths of more than a hundred people around the world explain?

And the conclusion that "the master will leave soon" is even more shameless to the extreme - since he is called a master, of course he has achieved fame, and he is already old, so it is strange that a master in his sixties or seventies dies ?

In short, no one believed the respondent's words, and most people scolded him bloody.

However, Li Yao became interested in this answer because he found that the answer was exactly eight days ago, which was the day of the Tianma Lake International Animation Festival.

While the respondent was writing this message, in the West, Gilson, the famous master of fantasy literature and the author of "Blood and Sand", was clutching his heart and falling to the ground in pain, while in the East, he was drawing the famous cartoon of "Colonial Hunter" Yoshihiro Takaya, on the other hand, hummed a cheerful tune and walked on the bloody road to hell.

Is this a coincidence?

Li Yao paid special attention to the account number of the answerer. The name the answerer gave himself was "Dream Traveler".

Click on his name, and you can see all the answer records he left on this question-and-answer website, densely packed for several pages.

This is the last reply he posted.

The penultimate item is a response to another question "What supernatural event has happened to you".

Dream Traveler wrote in this answer: "When I was in the third grade of elementary school, I once went swimming in the reservoir next to my grandmother's house and drowned for at least half an hour. Since then, I have become a 'Dream Traveler'.

"I know that no one will believe it, anyway, the website 'Knowledge' has long been a temple for braggarts and pretenders, but I don't care if you believe it or not, I just tell my own story.

"I have a hunch that 'they' are coming soon. If I don't say it now, maybe I will be like those people in a few days, and I won't have a chance to speak again."
