I think so, the original firewood was only enough to burn until midnight. At this time, although Lu Li went out to find some, firstly, there was not enough time, and secondly, Lu Li couldn't carry much by himself. Now the remaining firewood can only be burned for another three or four hours, and at least five hours before dawn.
Although the corpse ghosts have retreated now, Lu Li knew clearly that there were definitely other ghosts hidden in the darkness. If the fire was extinguished, then those ghosts would never mind treating themselves and the old man as tomorrow's breakfast.
The old man was holding the puppet, but he couldn't see the tears at the corner of the puppet's eyes becoming more and more charming. A dull atmosphere was in the dilapidated temple, and he felt drowsy. Lu Li saw that the old man holding the puppet opposite had already had a fight and added some firewood to the fire. He saw that the old man's head lowered and fell asleep again.
A dizzy feeling attacked Lu Li again, but this time Lu Li's eyes lit up: the brain restricts liberation by 10%...11%...12%...15%!
The liberation of the brain not only accelerates Lu Li's thinking speed, but also greatly enhances his ability to receive information, and even his perception ability is greatly enhanced. In life, we receive huge amounts of information every day, but in order for our brain to not be burned out, our own protection mechanism will filter some unimportant information.
Now these information we usually ignore are collected bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit. Temperature, air, smell, light, sound, and even the feeling in the dark are stored as information to be collected in the brain for analysis and processing. Lu Li pinched the big sun and his eyes lit up: "Catched..."
Then Lu Li fainted, and two lines of nosebleed down, the ruined temple peeled off bit by bit, turning into black and brown ashes and floating away, the real turned into false, and the false became more and more real. This is a dream, but it is not, it exists in the virtual and the real and the false.
When Lu Li opened his eyes again, he saw the puppet opposite him. She was still infatuated and slowly looked at the old man in a drowsy mood. Lu Li suddenly felt very cruel. These two beings were like flowers on the other side. The flowers and leaves bloomed and fell, the leaves faded, and the flowers and leaves did not meet each other, and they were different. When they were awake, the old man did not understand that the puppet had his own consciousness, and was confused and in a vain dream, the old man, as an ordinary person, could only sleep, and the puppet could only watch.
These two beings depended on each other for decades, but had no real communication and were ignorant. It was such a tragedy! Lu Li sighed, and then said to the puppet: "So continue with the last topic, what do you want me to do?"
"I've seen the young master." The puppet withdrew his gaze and bowed to Lu Li and said, "I have said before that every existence here has meaning, and the temple that should have existed here has disappeared. It is not meaningless, but has been hidden by someone! It symbolizes safety. As long as we find the temple and transfer the fire here there, then it will be truly safe, and the security of the temples in the real world will be strengthened!"
"Is the temple?" Lu Li looked at the puppet deeply, and did not say anything about the temple. Instead, he said: "There is not enough firewood in the real world. How many things are peeping in the darkness? I believe you know better than me. Do you have any solutions?"
"Don't worry, this young master, I will solve it then." The puppet smiled slightly, then turned his face and said, "Come on, we don't have much time, and the time flow rate in the false dream is not stable. If we still handle it well at the time, that would be bad!"
Lu Li tore off another piece of trouser leg and made a simple torch. He found that this illusory dream was really strange. He used to tear off one of his trouser leg here and returned to reality, but found that the trouser leg was still there. But now after returning to the illusory dream, the trouser leg was gone again. Now that both trouser leg was gone, Lu Li's school uniform pants turned into shorts.
Fortunately, these flying red snowflakes were not so cold, otherwise the temperature alone would be enough for him to eat a pot, and the puppet walked flexibly in front of him, telling some things about false dreams, and Lu Li held the torch and followed slowly.
"The false dream is like bubbles, with regional characteristics, but it is not absolutely impossible to be the same. Although ghosts generally do not leave a region, they may also cross the boundaries. After living creatures fall asleep, a projection will appear here. Of course, they are in a drowsy state. Once they are hurt by ghosts, they will also be hurt in reality."
"Everything has meaning here, such as a house, generally represents safety. Those ghosts cannot actively enter human houses!"
"Take the initiative? Then there is a way to not take the initiative?" Lu Li asked with interest.
"It is difficult for ghosts to exist in reality, and they are also difficult to contact reality, but it is not absolute. They can create some movements. Normal people may not hear these movements, but those who have both qi and blood and neurasthenia may receive these movements, such as knocking on the door. As long as the owner opens the door himself, those ghosts can enter your house without restraint."
"You said ghosts are difficult to exist in reality? So what are the white-skinned monsters?" Lu Li asked curiously. Although corpses are extremely afraid of fire, they can also exist in the dark night in the real world!
"...There are special reasons for those monsters..." The puppet paused and said, "They are different from spiritual bodies like me. Our entities in reality are dead objects, and although their entities are dead, they are still human flesh after all."
"The false dreams are divided into periods. During the day, the low tide will enter. The ghosts in the low tide are difficult to move and cannot cause harm to the humans projected here. However, if there are no fires or something around them in the house, it is very likely to become a dim sum for monsters! Of course, when a large number of humans gather together, their vitality will also form a fire-like effect."
"One thing to note is that there is not completely disconnection between the false dream and the real world. For example, special humans like you can enter here, and we may also use our abilities to influence the real world. In the real world, some actions will even directly break the gap between the two and summon the illusion that exists in the false will into reality."
"The world is not safe," concluded the puppet.
