Chapter 383: Wide-Ranging Influence
"Perhaps your guess is correct. This technology is indeed somewhat similar to our Yae Family's..."
Just as Yae Yayo was halfway through his words, the communication personnel who were mobilizing the Qingyun Suicide Squad suddenly seemed to have heard some news. He was suddenly startled, and then immediately raised his head and said:
"Commander, the latest news is that a riot broke out at the bottom of Dreamland. More than 20 registered cities of shadows such as No. K, No. L, and No. J were affected. All our exploration teams have suffered varying degrees of mental trauma. According to a few According to the descriptions of those with minor injuries, before they were hit, there was a large area of rain in the City of Shadows, accompanied by singing..."
(Note ①)
"How is that possible?" Yae Yayo's eyes widened, "Even if it is a large nightmare... No, this is indeed something that a large nightmare can do, but generally speaking, even if a single large nightmare is triggered by the rules, it will not It has such a large-scale impact! There is not only one large nightmare in the City of Shadows, isn’t it afraid of causing a siege?”
"I don't know about this at the moment... Oh, sorry, please wait." The reporter said, suddenly connected to the communication, and after more than ten seconds, he spoke again:
"The latest news is that not only our people, but also many low-level architects in several residential areas around the high-tech zone and entertainment zone have suffered from mental abnormalities, but the impact does not seem to be big. We have sent people to inquire about the specific situation. ”
"Low-level? About what level?" Yae Yayo frowned. Although for dreamers, shadow chasers can also be considered low-level, but except for a few dreamers who were still on the plane, all of them were chasers. Shadow One, no matter how low you are, you shouldn’t enter...
"Dream seekers, there are even two soul seekers."
"This is impossible!" Yae Yayo categorically denied:
"It is impossible for this level to enter the bottom of the Dreamland. They can't even pass the three tests, let alone just... wait... if they are not at the bottom..."
Although there was a screen across the screen and even though the other party was wearing makeup, everyone present clearly noticed the extremely ugly expression on Yae Yayo's face.
"Did you think of something? Ms. Yae?"
Seeing that those with lower positions did not dare to speak, while those with higher ranks could not bear to ask for advice, Yun Zaoxun sighed and asked anyway.
Yae Yayo gathered his thoughts, then nodded and said:
"Considering that this incident affected more than twenty cities of shadow, this impact may not be flat. It may even break through the limit of the number of layers of the dreamland and affect the upper area."
"How is that possible? Is this a sign of a big nightmare coming?" The gloomy man on the other screen immediately became alert, but his look gave people the feeling that he was about to run away.
Hearing this, Yae Yayo just shook his head and said:
"If it is planned to come, the breaking point should not be at the bottom of the dreamland. However, if all this is really the work of the yellow-robed nightmare, then what is happening may be more terrifying than the direct fall."
"You are an expert, just say it directly. The matter may involve a very large structure that threatens the entire Hongying. As the general person in charge of Jingbin City and the first commander of the Yunzao Brigade, I ask you not to hide anything."
Yun Zaoxun took out his military identity. After hearing him speak like this, Yae Yayo also became serious. She hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"The matter involves some secret structures of the Yae family. I will try my best to avoid the core issues and explain it. In addition, I will inform the family about this matter and send more professionals over. Of course, if you are not satisfied with my behavior, If you are satisfied, you can submit an application to His Majesty the Creator.”
Yun Zaoxun also knew that this was the limit. While thinking about how to write the report in his mind, he seemed to be giving in and said: "Speak what you can say first."
"Okay, you may not know enough about the ecology of nightmares, so I will give a brief overview first." Yae Yayo was relieved to see Yun Zaoxun give in. With a wave of her finger, a beaker completed the structure. The liquid was poured into the beaker and he explained:
"As we all know, the City of Shadows is the crystallization of dreams. This is not a simple description. In fact, it also contains a deeper metaphor."
As he spoke, Yae Yayo pinched a handful of dust and sprinkled it into the beaker, and then used the construction technique to construct pieces of extremely fast-growing crystals.
"Just like in a crystallization experiment, adding crystal seeds to a supersaturated solution can accelerate the precipitation of crystals. At the bottom of the dreamland, as the city of crystallized shadows, it is easier to gather emotions, cognition, thinking and other things, because they are all They belong to the same kind, so when they interact with each other, they will form so-called rules.
"These things themselves are not only the flesh and blood of the Dreamland, but also the food for the growth of the residents of the Dreamland. Therefore, as long as the residents of the Dreamland have a certain thinking ability, they will instinctively gather towards the City of Shadows in order to obtain these things from the City of Shadows. mood.
"However, the density of resources in the City of Shadows is far greater than that in the shallow layers of the Dreamland. Just as humans want to obtain the resources of the City of Shadows, they must use their own imagination to encapsulate them. The residents of the Dreamland also need to use specific behaviors to make the City of Shadows Treat them as part of the City of Shadows and use them to absorb the resources in the City of Shadows. This is why both nightmares and kings will follow the rules in the City of Shadows.”
This content is not secret knowledge for dreamers, but most of Hongying's architects are typical Yu Wushuang. They will not look up this knowledge that is not helpful for improving their strength, even if it is made public.
Therefore, until Yae Yayo explained, except for a few civil servants with research qualifications, everyone else had an expression that they didn't know was like this.
Yun Zaoxun thought about this theory for a moment, and then asked:
"According to you, Huangpao's Nightmare violated the tacit understanding of this role. Did it find a faster way to obtain resources?"
"You can say that." Yae Yayo glanced at the staff responsible for communicating with the frontline suicide squads. Seeing that there was still no new news from him, he could only express his thoughts——
"This nightmare may be eating each other, and it's also eating each other between large nightmares!"
"Does this mutual eating...do you mean that literally?" Yun Zaozheng swallowed his mouth and asked in disbelief.
Yae Yayo nodded heavily and said:
"Other than two large nightmares fighting each other, it's hard for me to imagine what other possibilities could cause such large-scale turmoil at the bottom of the Dreamland."
At this point, Yae Yayo noticed that everyone looked dull, and then realized that others did not seem to understand the horror of mutual cannibalism. After picking through the secrets of the family, he finally found something to say, and said:
"Nightmares that can appear in the same City of Shadows must have similarities in their own rules. You can think that they each represent an aspect of the core rules of the City of Shadows, and the higher the intensity of the nightmare, it proves the aspect it represents. The greater the proportion, and when it reaches the level of a large nightmare, it is not an exaggeration to regard it as half of the City of Shadows. If nightmares of this level devour each other, in a sense, it means that it is likely to swallow the entire shadow. city."
Having said this, Yae Yayo paused and then said:
"So you may not quite understand, but to put it another way, why do you think they are all large nightmares? Some ordinary dreamers can suppress them, but some can leave irreversible damage to monsters like the Third Generation Creator Qingyun. ?” (Note ②)
