Uplifting Journey

Cheng Bin looked behind the green emperor.

An ordinary large stone lay there quietly, reflecting light and shade under the afterglow of the lively bonfire. It was no different from the scattered stones around in terms of texture and structure, and it was not eye-catching at all.

But Cheng Bin was sure that before he turned his eyes and blinked, there was no such stone at that position!

Seeing Cheng Bin on the opposite side suddenly stand up and frown and turn his head around, the Green Emperor looked around, then looked up at Cheng Bin and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"Interesting." Cheng Bin, who has sufficient confidence in his own observation and memory, switched between various sensory modes. After carefully looking at the surrounding situation, he sat down again thoughtfully, ".An alternative observer effect?"

After a brief look around, Cheng Bin discovered the problem - all the substances that were separated from his and the Green Emperor's perception channels at the same time were in a state of uncertainty in form and position.

For example, if you close your eyes and then open them again, the plane wreckage that was originally in the center of the field of vision will silently "drift" to the direction of the corner of your eyes, and the sparse vegetation on the barren land will also randomly appear in other positions.

Considering that this is a dream after all, Cheng Bin can accept this kind of strange phenomenon that directly interacts with consciousness and observation. After all, he has noticed similar problems in the city before, but when he explained the phenomenon he observed to Green When the Pope listened, the other party stood up with a serious expression.

"This is not a good sign." After looking around in the way of Cheng Bin, the green emperor who seemed a little tired said nervously, ".For a dreamer, the details of this environment are actually It is difficult to be noticed by their subjective consciousness, most people are blind in front of such things, what do you do, this is not the current focus."

After walking back and forth for two steps, the body of the green pharaoh began to become transparent, and at the same time, cracks spread on his body.

A humanoid stand-in split into thin, transparent strands that were hard to discern with the naked eye in an instant, spreading in all directions like a jellyfish spreading its tentacles.

The completely invisible thin rope penetrates into the ground, entangles stones and plants, and seems to be exploring and touching the world in an alternative way.

After an invisible tentacle of nothingness stuck to the exposed skin of his right hand, Cheng Bin heard the unique communication from the green emperor again: ". The memory fragments that build this small world are 'distorting'. I confirmed it with the rebels. This is not a local phenomenon in a small area.

"Similar phenomena have occurred in the entire dream world and in all living spaces. Maybe even the basic structure of the dream world has been shaken. Something deep-seated must have happened—this is an opportunity!"

The tentacles of the organized rebel army spread all over the dreamland, and the information gathered by the feedback quickly clarified the situation——Reaper 13 who ruled the dreamland and various angels disappeared one after another, the hunting troops shrank across the board, and the consciousness centers that maintained the dreamland operation lost suppression gradually descended into chaos.

Reaper 13's consciousness evolved from an ordinary human being. Although he is invincible in dreams based on his unique stand-in ability, he does not have enough spiritual quality to fully dominate the huge world built by the common consciousness of billions of intelligent beings. In the dream, even after Cheng Bin's arrival, whether he has the ability to interfere with the countless living bodies and dormant systems in reality has to be questioned.

The beings trapped in dreams have more or less the ability to interfere with the dream through consciousness. In the past, Reaper 13 used the ability to interfere with a trace of deep awe that is deeply rooted in everyone's heart and has an unknown source. The direction of consciousness weaves a hierarchical, stable and controllable dream structure.

When the various consciousness centers operating around the envoy system fell into chaos, the oppressive power of the dream ruling class was greatly weakened. The rebels did not hesitate for long, and began to try to extend their power to these blank places, trying to seize this sudden opportunity. , Expand the scale of the organization, spread the research results of the law of dreams, concentrate the consciousness of all beings, and improve the ability of dream interference.

Although the pursuers seemed to have withdrawn, the sensitive Cheng Bin and the Green Emperor did not immediately take part in the chaos.

The Green Pope seems to have a lot of hesitation in his heart, while Cheng Bin is completely unconcerned about the transfer of dominance in the dream world - through the Green Pope, he has already connected with the dream researchers of the Rebel Army, and the cooperation and exchanges that can be tasted and stopped are enough He immediately gained a firm foothold and gradually expanded his understanding of the basics of dreams.

How powerful is Cheng Bin's understanding of consciousness and dreams? Excluding the influence of the substitute, there is nothing in this illusory world that can hinder him from stepping deeper.

Cheng Bin completely mastered the internal consciousness interference skills such as roaming and transferring in the vast sea of ​​​​dream consciousness when the green emperor was possessed and guided before.

But the chaos in the dream world did not stop there.

Cheng Bin, who continued to live in the fragmented world and drifted on the edge of the core circle of dreams, suddenly had a strange memory in his heart——

It was the memory fragment of a human male named Noriaki Kakyoin.

The surprise and fear when the green phantom emerged from the shadows when I was young, and the bewilderment and depression when I found that this phantom could be seen by no one but myself.

Secrets that no one trusts, confessions that no one understands, doubts and fears brought by parents and doctors, estrangement and loneliness caused by ridicule by peers.

Before the green stand-in evolves to the point where he can interfere with reality at will according to the juvenile consciousness, the juvenile's mind has been completely closed.

After more than ten years of solitude, it was a journey across the earth to Egypt in just a few dozen days, which brought about hot friendship and ensuing unforgettable grief.

The young man who let go of his heart for the first time as the stand-in messengers of the same kind, wailed in the tragedy brought by Dior and Reaper 13.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—"

The screams around him interrupted Cheng Bin's tour of the memory fragments. He got rid of the residual influence of the memory fragments and turned his head to look at the green emperor who was kneeling on the ground beside the campfire.

The green Pope, who was howling with his head in his hands, slammed his head against the rock beside him, and then his body gradually cracked, disintegrating towards the scattered green long ropes in the confusion of consciousness.

Sitting on the side, Cheng Bin paid no attention to the surface pain of the green emperor. He thought for a while, and roughly guessed the problem, so he switched his field of vision, ignoring the material surface, and turned his attention to the sea of ​​consciousness at the bottom of the dream.

The "relative distance" between the Green Emperor and Cheng Bin who often communicates in the ocean of consciousness is not far away. As he expected, the foundation of the dream world further collapsed, and the originally orderly ocean of subconscious consciousness suddenly rose, and a large number of sources of consciousness Boundaries have begun to blur and interpenetrate.

Cheng Bin's consciousness structure is completely different from that of ordinary people. The green emperor who was infected nearby is likely to encounter various problems based on "incompatibility", but he doesn't know if the damage at this level of consciousness is as outrageous as Cthulhu's.

After finding the root of the problem, Cheng Bin prescribes the right medicine to temporarily solve the problem of the diffusion and erosion of his consciousness. While waiting for the green emperor to wake up to observe, he turned his attention to the deep shadow exposed by the chaotic collapse of the dream world——

Through the chaos where countless life consciousnesses began to confuse and infiltrate, at the bottom of the dream, a piece of memory fragments that were fully integrated and constructed by the consciousness of all dream creatures gradually emerged.
