Chapter 182
Perhaps a curse has been planted on him, and if he violates the agreement, he will die on the spot.
... After thinking it over again and again, he decided to follow the will of his heart.
·
"Don't worry, the "puppet master" guy is very cowardly and will never dare to escape secretly."
In the villa late at night, the man whose arms were tightly tied and hung in the living room as a chandelier barely squeezed out a flattering smile and chattered non-stop.
"Although I have never met him, I guess only the guild leader knows his true identity. He uses puppets to appear in front of everyone, but I know this guy's character very well. He is never willing to take any risks, and he doesn't care about face. He likes to be mysterious in front of ordinary people, and he is quicker than anyone to give in when he meets a big boss."
"——He would never dare to go against your wishes."
Yuan Buwei said "Oh": "Looking at you, it seems that you are looking forward to reuniting with him as soon as possible."
"Nightmare" who was hanging on the ceiling of the living room smiled awkwardly, but his smile was uglier than crying.
...Of course he was looking forward to it. He almost wanted to get the "puppet master" over in the next second, and hang on the ceiling with him, and be a brother in distress with a bed next to him.
He cursed the "puppet master" a thousand times in his heart.
This guy posted a task in the guild yesterday, saying that he had recruited a newcomer with potential, and now he wanted to give benefits to the newcomer and ask everyone to help him with some insignificant things. The location was the capital of the third district.
It happened that "Nightmare" had something to do here recently, and he took the task thinking that it was a matter of convenience and he could also make friends with a newcomer with potential.
And now, he just wanted to travel back to the day before and kill himself who was ignorant at that time, and also kill the "puppet master" who posted the task in the guild.
... "It's just dealing with an ordinary person who is powerless", "Don't kill people, just let the other party have nightmares, and the other party will not call the police for such a small matter afterwards", "This is a great opportunity to make the newcomer owe you a favor, there is no simpler task in the guild", all of which are lies! Lies!!
If everything is as simple as the "puppet master" said, why is he hanging here now and facing such a cruel devil? !
--Just a while ago, he watched his "door" being eaten! This is the exclusive passage to the inner world for every awakener!
This means that from now on, if he wants to enter the inner world again, he can only use other people's passages, and this is risky. Who knows if he will be robbed by the black?
"Nightmare" was bleeding in his heart and hated it so much, but he didn't dare to cast this hatred on the terrible man, but only on the nonsense "puppet master".
Therefore, when the terrible man asked him to take the initiative to cooperate in catching the "puppet master", he gave quite a lot of useful suggestions. It was the first time that he worked so hard to weave a nightmare. Even if he didn't contribute much.
With the ability of "Nightmare" itself, it is not possible to weave nightmares for the target from a long distance, otherwise he would not have been caught near the villa tonight. However, the owner of this villa, the "ordinary ordinary person", temporarily integrated a strange black smoke into his dream, which greatly improved his ability in nightmares, so that he could exert influence on the "puppet master"!
Yuan Buwei clapped his hands and interrupted his thoughts.
"...Okay, you continue. I still have a lot of things about the inner world and the awakeners that I am interested in."
This guy was not honest before, and he didn't tell the truth about many things. Now after being beaten, he should be more sensible.
"Yes, I said." "Nightmare" lowered his head silently, daring to be angry but not to speak, "In fact, I don't know much about these. I used to be an ordinary salesman, and my life was ordinary, nothing special. About a year ago, there was a period of time when I was particularly unlucky. My father had a terminal illness and had no money to treat the disease. I borrowed money everywhere, from friends, relatives, neighbors, and anyone I knew. I even borrowed from loan sharks..."
"...In the end, my father died. I still owed a lot of debts, and my relatives and friends were too embarrassed to see me. Later, the loan sharks came to my house, hung banners at the entrance of the company, splashed paint and chicken blood at the entrance of my house, and called in the middle of the night... I lost my job, was mentally anxious, and jumped off the balcony..."
At that time, he really wanted to die and vent his anger, but he didn't expect to survive. He was blocked by a clothes drying rack and fell into paralysis.
"...I thought I was miserable enough before, but after I lay in bed, I realized that it was nothing."
"Nightmare" briefly mentioned what happened after paralysis, but it must not have been a pleasant experience.
"...I was lying in bed half dead. Thinking of my father, the debts, and the fact that I had lived my life like a waste...I don't know why, for a moment, I suddenly resented the world and the injustice of God...I have obviously worked so hard, I have worked hard to live, why do you treat me like this?!" At this point, his tone seemed to change, full of extreme distortion and paranoia.
"Hmm?" Yuan Buwei glanced at him.
The man who was still "crazy" suddenly became excited and was so frightened that he calmed down: "Ahem, in short, at that time, I was like a ghost who had lost my mind! Now think about it, if I could act at that time , they are probably going out with kitchen knives to kill people to take revenge on society!”
The man who was hung from the ceiling lowered his head, as if recalling the unpleasant experience, his tone became very complicated: "Then, I felt like a seed in my heart was awakened, and the world seemed to be... It’s different from mine. Starting from the bed, all the way to the smaller half of the room, it became very decayed and old, like an old house covered with dust... After that, every once in a while, every time I had that kind of extreme emotion in my heart, You can all see that strange vision.”
"...until one day, dust covered the whole room, and I faintly saw a door."
His narration was similar to the vision Xie Huaying saw when he woke up, but he only saw the door to the other world after a period of time, and it was opened by some strange mistake.
However, he is luckier than Xie Huaying. When Xie Huaying opened the passage, there seemed to be a monster nearby. When he opened the passage, there was a wilderness behind him.
"...I don't know what happened. Anyway, as soon as I entered the door, I appeared in a barren mountain. It really scared me at the time! But I couldn't run, so I could only lie on the ground. Waiting to die.”
"It was like another world inside the door. When I entered, it was day outside, but it was night inside. There was nothing around. The ground was like a black swamp, and the soil was soft and sticky. I I don’t know how many times I’ve been lying there. For a long time, I felt thirsty and hungry, and when I was about to hallucinate, I groped around on the ground, and it felt like I touched something like a frog. It was warm and alive... I was like that anyway. I was so hungry that I just stuffed it into my mouth."
"Nightmare"'s tone became strange again when he spoke, a little excited.
"...Then, when I woke up again, I found that I was no longer a paralytic! I could run and jump, and was even healthier than most ordinary people!"
"Not only did I recover my body, but I later discovered that I had some special abilities. For example, I could fall asleep after others fell asleep."
"...It's simply a script designed by a third-rate novelist. Your adventure can be the protagonist of the novel." Yuan Buwei commented lightly and continued to ask, "What happened next? What happened to the Monster Guild? What's going on? "^o^思^o^Rabbit^o^ is on the^o^ line^o^read^o^
"Also, after entering the other world, will the door still be in the same place? Will the things inside escape? If the door is destroyed, how will you get out?"
——I didn’t notice a single detail. "Nightmare" is not paralyzed, at least he can crawl in from outside the door. Then when he first enters the other world, he can crawl back through the door. Why did you lie in that wilderness for so long? Does this mean there is no door once you enter?
It turned out that a series of questions made "Nightmare" a little flustered. In fact, he just deliberately avoided the method of leaving the other world, and he also thought of tricking Yuan Buwei. If Yuan Buwei enters the other world one day, it is very likely that he will stay there forever due to the information gap.
Now being questioned, he had to reluctantly say: "It's the dust."
"...The world in this world is extremely huge. The passage we open is random. After entering, the door will disappear and will not stay in place forever. If you want to return to the real world, you must scatter dust and point through the dust. At the end of a road, the door will slowly appear. If there is no dust to guide the way, you will be lost in the other world forever. "
Now that he had said it, he no longer concealed anything and confessed everything.
"...I didn't deliberately collect dust at the beginning, so after entering the other world for the first time, I couldn't find the door or return to reality. I trudged in the wilderness and suffered a lot until I unexpectedly met a person. A member of the Monster Guild. He told me how to use dust, helped me return to reality, and recommended me to join the Monster Guild. I learned a lot of common sense about the world from the Monster Guild.”
The Monster Guild calls the inner world the dark side of the outer world. Mysterious elements that are not found in the real world are accumulated in the other world; similarly, chaos and darkness that are not found in the real world will also appear in the other world.
There are no moral and legal constraints there, only the law of the jungle.
What's more, awakened people stimulate their own talents when their negative emotions are most intense. They themselves are one uncertain explosive barrel after another, which may ignite at any time.
Some of them are just ordinary people, like "nightmares", who may have returned to normal after a temporary predicament aroused negative emotions, awakened their own talents, and changed their lives through adventures in the other world;
There are also some people who are completely anti-social, their minds have long been distorted, and they are full of hatred, unwillingness, pain, and desire for destruction... These people are the real lunatics and paranoia.
Perhaps in reality, they will still be bound by morality and law, and have a certain bottom line, but in the chaotic real world, they are like being released from a prison. Wild beasts can do whatever they want without restraint!
"...There are many lunatics like this in the "Monster Guild". Once they find out that you are going against them, they will never let you go." "Nightmare" explained very seriously, and the crazy hint was that the original Not because he has a backer, "According to the president, the stronger the guy, the crazier he is, or in other words, the crazier the guy, the stronger... I think the president is very strong."
Unfortunately, instead of frightening Yuan Buwei, his words succeeded in arousing Yuan Buwei's interest: "Have you met the president of the Monster Guild?"
"Of course not." Nightmare shook his head crazily, "Many awakened people are aggregations of negative emotions, and there are very few normal people. Who knows what will happen to them when they become crazy? Even if they are not crazy, they may still take advantage of others. So the real world is big Some awakened people are wary of each other. Unless they trust each other very much, they will not meet easily, let alone reveal their true identity. "
"Most of the members of our monster guild don't know each other's true identities. They were just dragged into a group by the president. Usually, they can be in the group
