Chapter 103
The star-shaped light that flew out from Wen Zheng's palm illuminated the dark world, completely exposing the horrible nightmare in Wen Zheng's eyes.
The external image chosen by this nightmare completely reached the limit of human imagination. The three heads and eight claws were all grotesque, and there were countless eyes rolling around on the uneven skin. Just one look at it made the eyes feel like they were under a violent attack.
Wen Zheng silently looked away, speeding up the speed of absorbing energy, and at the same time mobilizing the power that he had absorbed from the nightmare last time and completely tamed.
After trying many times to get rid of Wen Zheng standing on his back, the nightmare tried the last method, suddenly jumping down from the narrow road, and descending in the dark space as if there was no end.
A transparent long board appeared under the feet of the nightmare. No matter how the nightmare, which had been captured by Wen Zheng, struggled in vain, a new foothold would appear under his feet every time he jumped out, until the nightmare gave up resistance and lay at Wen Zheng's feet. His body became weak and thin as Wen Zheng absorbed it. Wen Zheng had not played enough of this new creative game.
As the master of the dream, Wen Zheng himself has a certain grasp of the dream world, not to mention that he has absorbed the power of the nightmare. After the nightmare under his feet completely dissipated, Wen Zheng not only did not leave immediately, but used his own power to support the dream and tried to transform it.
Wen Zheng's use of power became more and more proficient in training, and he could even vaguely feel that there was still power of his own floating outside. Wen Zheng, who wanted to take back his power, remembered the blessing paper he had made before, and wanted to continue sensing it, but found that the distance was too far and he could do nothing except sensing.
Regretfully withdrawing the detection, Wen Zheng looked at the dream world that had changed greatly, and realized that if the energy continued to be consumed, the newly absorbed nightmare energy would rebel in his body. At that time, he would probably have to rest for several days like last time before he could slowly digest it.
So, this dream ended here.
The dream collapsed like a broken mirror, and Wen Zheng woke up with a crisp sound. This time, the state was much better than last time. The slight discomfort in the body had disappeared after half a day, and the transparent energy was even more obediently allowed to be absorbed and transformed by Wen Zheng.
This time, the sleep time was only two days, which was not particularly outrageous, but it would attract the attention of some people. When Wen Zheng came out of the room to find food, he was faced with the relieved expression of the front desk.
If this guest did not show up again, even if they were told not to disturb him in advance, they would wait for another day at most to ask about the situation.
Wen Zheng had just eaten his fill, and before he had time to rest, he saw the message sent to his mobile phone. The bold idea of dream connection attracted Wen Zheng's attention. Based on Wen Zheng's current understanding of the dream world, this method can be tried, but the instruments from foreign research institutions make Wen Zheng have no trust in it, and he is even more unwilling to take the risk of exposing his own specialness to participate.
There was no reply to the message. Facing the incoming call, Wen Zheng chose to decline with an apology, and received an answer from the other party that expressed understanding without exerting any pressure.
In fact, except for Wen Zheng, who is equivalent to a cheating player, the other six self-awakeners are not simple. Three of them immediately called and agreed to accept this experiment after receiving the message without waiting for questions.
There are limited machines that can connect to dreams, and they need to go to the provider's laboratory located abroad for operation. Therefore, the country formed an expert research team and escorted the three volunteers to the destination by the army at the fastest speed.
This is a very bold attempt, but things are not so smooth. Just connecting the dreams of different people requires multiple experiments and adjustments, but this is the basis for all the subsequent experiments.
When the dreams of two people were finally connected, the laboratory, which had been suppressed for a long time, was happy for a while, but soon, with excitement and worry, it was waiting for the awakening procedure to succeed.
Failed.
This inexplicable disease is not so easy to solve, and dreams are even more difficult to study.
The researchers had long been prepared for the failure of the experiment. Even so, when they faced the disappointment of both the awakeners and the sleepers, they couldn't help but fall into doubts about whether this experiment should exist and whether to continue.
Although they knew that there might be a risk of death before coming, when they really faced it, some volunteers from different countries still wanted to escape.
Shouting in an unintelligible language, the blond boy carried the box and walked out, followed by several people who had the same idea as him, and kept leaving despite the staff's obstruction.
With a bang, one of them fell to the ground suddenly, and the originally noisy hall immediately became quiet to the point where a pin drop could be heard.
"This... he must have fainted because he didn't get enough rest, that's for sure..."
Even though they couldn't understand each other's words because of the language difference, they could tell what everyone was thinking by looking at each other's pale faces.
They had either been in deep sleep before, or they were carefully selected by various countries as protectors, and there were also experts who specialized in this field, so they were very familiar with the behavior of people in deep sleep.
"Yes, who said that you can't fall asleep again after falling asleep once? We still underestimated the sleeping sickness." The leader who led the team abroad this time sighed and patted the three volunteers in the team, "Go back and rest first, I will tell you if there is any specific news."
The people around were all elites from different countries. After a brief surprise and disbelief, someone sent the young man lying on the ground to the relevant research room.
As a professional place to study solutions to sleeping sickness, the most abundant thing here is various inspection machines.
There is no need to wait for a few days. Even if all related projects are checked to ensure the correctness of the results, it only takes a few hours to get the answer.
"Just as everyone guessed, he entered the nightmare world again." The inspector walked out with a gloomy face and announced the results of the inspection, confirming that even if you escape from the nightmare by chance, you may face a second nightmare.
In this nightmare, the awakened person failed to wake up.
The people in the entire experimental building began to panic. Some even knelt down and prayed for the protection of the gods. Some even wanted to commit suicide because they were afraid of entering the nightmare world one after another.
"Why commit suicide? Since the result of participating in the experiment and waiting for the nightmare to come again is death, I would rather choose the first one, at least it will not make me die in vain." Of course, more people came up with completely different ideas from suicide. They would rather sacrifice their lives to find an antidote.
The experiment that was about to stop was restarted. In this attempt, the researchers confirmed all the relevant details and made all possible preparations before connecting to wake up.
The machine connected to the dream was successful once, which was a good start for this attempt. Before the owner of the dream woke up, the researchers could not know the specific content sent in the nightmare, but they could use all possible methods outside.
This time, it was still a failure.
The shadow of death loomed over the experimental building, and the number of sleepers and deaths, which had been high until now, had already turned into dark clouds covering the sky over the entire planet.
In the past, various methods that could increase the probability of awakening were used to temporarily maintain stability in the turbulent society. However, in the nearly one year since the emergence of sleeping sickness, there has been no more effective way to solve it.
Even in the recent few days, the news that the awakened people would fall into sleep again and have a high probability of death was announced to the public.
Today's world is like a pile of carefully stored bombs. Everyone knows how powerful the bomb will be after it explodes, but it cannot be destroyed. If the fuse of the bomb is kept well, it can still be safe, but the news is like a lit match. The flame does not need to be large to make the bomb that has been silent for a long time explode completely.
After waking up from a nightmare, you will still enter a nightmare. How can you resist it? This situation will only make people feel desperate. The breath of despair spreads rapidly, and the people who are suppressed now will only be crazier than before, and the number of people who actively seek death is increasing at an extraordinary rate.
People who are crazy enough not to fear death are difficult to manage, and those who have been suppressed begin to rebound. Every day, you can see someone crossing the bottom line of breaking the law.
There are also many sects that were once suppressed by the country and hidden, suddenly popping up like mushrooms after rain, spreading and teaching openly, and even producing successful cases that are not sure whether they are true or false.
Social order began to collapse in the efforts of various countries to maintain it.
Wen Zheng woke up from a nightmare for the third time. This time he woke up and found that the place he chose to live in had become so messy. He finally fumbled for his mobile phone from the bedside to understand what happened during his sleep.
Since leaving home and running away, Wen Zheng has never gone back. Every time he gets tired of living for a while, he moves to another place to live.
Now only some people enter the nightmare world for the second time, and it is even more difficult to wake up properly. Maybe only Wen Zheng has entered the nightmare world three times.
In the three nightmare worlds, Wen Zheng will experience the scenes that humans usually fear, which are constructed by nightmares. But these scenes can't do anything to Wen Zheng. Some scenes are even worse than the scenes that Wen Zheng has seen in other disaster worlds, so the final result will only be that those nightmares want to devour souls, but instead become food to enhance Wen Zheng's strength.
Wen Zheng walked out of the room, holding a colorless and transparent silk thread in his palm that no one could see. After absorbing and transforming the energy of the three nightmares, he was able to fully control his dream world, and vaguely felt that he could affect the dreams of others.
Maybe he could change the current situation.
The messy silk threads were entangled in Wen Zheng's hands, but he didn't know where the two ends of these silk threads were connected to, and they all disappeared in the void.
