Chapter 865: The Dream Side (Part 2)

Ah, I became... my soul resides in a lizard!

When encountering this kind of situation, people's thoughts will naturally tend to this, and Ronan is no exception.

However, fundamentally speaking, he is still a boring person whose ideas trump instinct. Most of the time, rationality prevails and he has similar ideas, and he quickly discovers doubts:

The black eye socket structure is not a mirror, how can it reflect the image of a lizard?

Therefore, his current "perspective" is questionable.

As his thoughts changed, the unknown lizard still drove Ronan's main perspective. He pushed the half of the metal face aside in disgust and continued to pull. The latter did not stabilize in the complex terrain and continued to slide down, presenting a more complete picture.

The shape - not just a "face", but the shape of half of the head. The lower end seems to be unclear and there is some pull.

Regardless of this, the lizard continued to dig through the soil, pulling out one metal part after another, in various shapes, some of which were obviously human-like structures, such as robotic arms; some were probably not as big as door panels, and their functions and uses were uncertain.

But no matter what it was, the lizards abandoned it like nothing. The small ones pushed away, and the big ones went around. It didn't start to treat it with caution until it pulled out a certain cylinder, which seemed to be a sealed container. It bit its teeth and claws.

Tear it off, leaving quite clear and deep marks on the outer layer of the container, and the reaction force feedback... Ronan even had a bit of a toothache.

The vague sensory information helped confirm that the container shell was very hard and made of some kind of special alloy, and the lizard's "two-piece set of minions" showed considerable destructive power.

During this process, the metal skull that had previously slipped to the edge area slid down again and landed next to the lizard. A lonely and weak red light appeared tenaciously in the black eye sockets, "looking at each other" with the lizard again. There was also an almost

The broken connecting wire is between the metal skull and the sealed container.

It was precisely because the lizard pulled at the sealed container that it pulled this half of the metal skull over.

After repeated attempts, the lizard was probably a little agitated, so it simply tried to pull at the unbroken connecting wire, but when its front paw caught it, its body stiffened suddenly, and then twitched, as if it was electrocuted. The half of the metal skull,

During its twitching movements, it was pulled by the connecting wire and hit on its head...

No, it was actually half of the metal head's mouth that bit the lizard hard.

The lizard struggled, trying to get rid of it, but the bite of the metal head's mouth was just the beginning. In the process, the entire lizard turned into some kind of liquid, which seeped in through the gap just opened.

For lizards, this is extremely deadly.

It struggled even more, but the more it struggled, the more painful it became, and its body was rapidly expanding and deforming.

During this period, it crazily destroyed everything around it, including those metal components. In turn, those metal components were also actively deforming, and some of them were liquefied like a metal head, wrapped in the sealed metal cylinder, penetrated into its body, and interacted with

It blends and makes it even bigger and distorted.

In the end, the lizard's self-perception was distorted, so that the pain gradually disappeared, and the complex and scary environment around it seemed to become friendly and even palatable. It began to actively cater to the penetration of surrounding metal components, blurring the lizard's true appearance.

Seeing that the situation here was settled, the scene suddenly changed.

It is still vaguely the same lizard, but it is together with its kind, foraging, migrating, resting, and reproducing in the high-temperature underground environment. It is much more fragile than before, but it is more in line with the nature of natural creatures.

It's just that this scene basically has no logic, there are few complete pictures, it's more blurry, and it's repetitive.

The pictures came and went several times, but the "sealed container" that was pulled out earlier appeared more often, some were intact, and some were damaged. Surrounding this "container", there are a large number of repeated pictures, including those of its kind.

Expansion, madness, death, and also very amazing growth and destruction.

Obviously, there is something very dangerous in the "sealed container", but it can also help the lizard and its kind mutate.

The high destructive power obtained by the lizard is mostly due to this.

So it's constantly searching... Well, it seems like someone else is actively providing it with these.

Gradually, the lizard is no longer a natural creature, but a hound chasing the material stored in this "sealed container". Then it searches for the metal head and enters a basically repetitive cycle. The details in it are increased and decreased, but

The situation is basically the same.

Therefore, the second situation should be some of the lizard’s earlier situations.

At this time, Ronan was no longer limited to the lizard's perspective. He saw both sides at the same time, like a ghost hanging in the air.

But this is not God's perspective, it is just a...dream.

What Ronan has been exposed to and observed so far is only a dream that contains certain memories, revealing the important core of the current "carrier".

Only with the carrier of life can we have dreams.

Therefore, it can basically be confirmed that the information flow of the "fugitive" has entered it after being "cross-border attraction" by some kind of "gravity source", and allowed the "carrier" to achieve effective results in the form of a dream.

feedback – this is exactly what Ronan hopes to achieve.

It was also at this moment that the dream jumped again. This time it was a very familiar scene, but the lizard was no longer the "protagonist", but a larger jump occurred, switching to the "fugitive". It was still the same.

His experience of escaping into "Area Thirteen", being captured, and being transformed seemed to be the "information flow" sent back across borders, reappearing in the form of a dream.

This vaguely verified Ronan's judgment.

But this time, there were some more details: Ronan saw the specific results of the "dismemberment and transformation". The same transformation method, but not very similar appearance. The "metal skull" he saw before was part of one of the bodies.

.

Then, there are those clear and fuzzy fragments, which basically follow the clues that Ronan already knows, but the presentation angles vary.

After this "fugitive" was transformed, the original person was divided into three parts, and under the instructions of the powerful "commander", they went in different directions: one was completely damaged in the chase with other "fugitives";

One disappeared for no reason, but more than ten years later, the corresponding signal suddenly reappeared; so the remaining part went to dock, but encountered a very difficult strongman... none other than Jin Buhuan back then.

Under normal circumstances, even this part of the "Fugitive" that has been transformed and strengthened over many years is definitely not Jin Buhuan's opponent, but behind him is the powerful "Commander", that huge, cold, invincible giant machine.

Therefore, with the support of the "commander" and even the death of himself, they had a fierce battle with Jin Buhuan. The level of the battle exceeded the cognitive level of this incomplete "one-third of the escapees", so the relevant

My memory is not particularly clear either.

There is only the final outcome: he becomes a scrap with no repair value and is buried in this high-temperature passage.

Also damaged were the giant machine and the "commander".

Judging from the clues in the dream memory, most of the metal components that the lizard ripped open were parts of giant machinery.

So, the "Commander", that is, the guy who is suspected to be a member of the "Thought Star Cluster", has been destroyed? Now the carrier "outside" is just the remnant of another incomplete clone of the "Fugitive", and it is fortunately parasitic in

On a lizard?

If this is the case, what Ronan has to do next is to truly transform his consciousness and will through "dreams", break the barriers between reality and illusion, embed into the real world "outside", and complete the control of the "carrier"

control.

Once the "transformation" is completed, it is equivalent to lifting a corner of the heavy "curtain" and the smuggling is successful.

At that time, he will be one position ahead, at least in terms of controlling "outside" information.

Only with this "status" can he be qualified to negotiate with His Majesty the Emperor Wu, so that he will not be completely manipulated; only then can he open a new cognitive channel, sort out the old events related to Liang Lu, and understand Li Wei.

The real information about Tuge...

Um, Levi?

Ronan thought of "Levi" and suddenly became alert.

The "Turtle Immortal", whose face was still vague to him, was both his enemy and his reference.

Especially that guy's "patience", not giving anyone a chance, leaving Ronan unable to make a move, and he admired him deeply.

Yes, why are you in such a hurry?

Now that the "dream" has support and feedback information, it is already on the right track. Although this method is destined to be unable to receive real-time information, and the authenticity and completeness are also greatly limited, the risks relative to the "outside" are already

Very cost-effective.

The first step has been taken, but the foot has not yet been firmly planted. I don’t know whether it is real or not, so why rush to take the second step?

He did not forget that this was just a dream, an interface to reality, not reality itself.

For example, the dream shows the re-parasitism of the wreckage of the "Fugitive", but if you look deeper, it is quite unreasonable.

Ronan is not a child without advanced knowledge of civilization. On the contrary, he is a qualified mechanic who has a clear understanding of the capabilities of machinery and related components. Even the omni-machine technology will not help a positioning.

They are the remains of consumables, consuming energy for secondary parasitism, unless there is more advanced support behind them.

In the same way, Ronan believes that this "Fugitive" wreckage is the source of cross-border traction, but this does not mean that it is the leader.

The person leading all of this is most likely the "commander" who is suspected to be a member of the "Thought Star Cluster".

Although that guy, in the dream memory, also collapsed in that tragic battle.

Just rely on gold and not exchange it?

It's not that Ronan looks down on the extraordinary species here on Earth, but that the foundation of the "Thought Star Cluster", even if it is divided into inconspicuous individuals, is not so easy to penetrate.

The most important thing is that every member of the "Thought Star Cluster" is an unquestionable "uploader", and they have a "backup". Even if they fail for a moment, there should be a follow-up reaction; to take a step back, even if

I am really stuck here, I can't get up again, and I can't do it so neatly just by relying on money.

In other words, there must be factors in the battlefield that exceed the upper limit of Jin Buhuan's capabilities, and they play a key role.

Ronan naturally thought of His Majesty the Emperor Wu.

This is a problem and an opportunity.

Dreams have boundaries, but the "material" that constructs them is the experience that penetrates the "carrier" and is not avoided.

If not, it can only prove that there is something wrong with the "carrier"...the risk is uncontrollable.

Therefore, he remained patient, did not rush to make judgments, and did not take any measures, allowing the dream between himself and the "outside" to continue.

Above the extreme realm, the magic talisman dragged the dark chain. In the dreamland, he also tested his claws at the edge of the "curtain". He seemed a little impatient, but in the end he still waited with him.

In the dream, Ronan's consciousness was ups and downs, but he only maintained the core of his clarity, and did not care too much about the difference between others and me.

So he once again assimilated with the lizard, running around underground tunnels and volcanic areas, occasionally jumping to the ground, and completing thrilling journeys under the natural air currents and predators. There was no transition in between, and he seemed to have transformed.

For that "fugitive", he ran away in the high-temperature passage, was arrested, and his body was torn and transformed. He was divided into three parts and distributed to various places. Each one met their tragic ending, and completed the absurd summary.

A similar experience goes through an irregular cycle over and over again, during which some details can probably be added. For example, the inside of the "sealed container" that the lizard is constantly looking for is basically confirmed to be an energy block similar to the "Yuan Mother", which is commonly equipped "outside"

Give it to "modified people" or armed machines. After being eaten by natural creatures, there is a certain probability that distortion and alienation will occur.

But these are just details, the overall context no longer changes, and related scenes are repeated constantly, which makes people numb and makes them irritable from time to time. They suspect that the information that the "carrier" can carry is only this, and everything that follows is meaningless.

try.

But whenever irritability arises, think about Li Wei, think about His Majesty the Emperor Wu, and then think about his magical experiences across time and space in the "Relay Station" and "Testing Time and Space", the valuable knowledge gained, and the acquisition of this

The price that everything had to be paid - not just himself, but also his grandfather, parents, and the Liang Lu who only found a skull, Ronan's mind sank back into the boring cycle.

Gradually, Ronan withdrew from the information given by the dream, no longer paying attention to the increase or decrease of details, but waiting for a "possibility" that should appear:

A new element that can answer his doubts, respond to his expectations, or completely break his cognition.

Ronan is ready for a long-term war of resistance. If it doesn't work today, it will be tomorrow. If it doesn't work tomorrow, it will be the day after tomorrow...a week, a month, and the cycle continues.

But the dream information structure "outside" was more fragile than he imagined.

After countless dream loops that he was too lazy to count, it was certain that before his aunt pulled him out of bed, Ronan suddenly "awoke" and a numb and boring familiar scene cut into the "fork in the road". He wanted to distinguish the specific scene.

But what followed was a sea of ​​pure chaotic consciousness.

Ronan was not very good at describing the feeling of the moment. Before he could find the right words, he had already entered a new scene and became a citizen of the "Thought Cluster". Due to a natural rupture of the "Thought Furnace", he differentiated into himself.

Consciousness, acquisition of citizenship and freedom carrier, began a long journey of life.

Like many members of the "Thought Star Cluster", after a certain period of time, he always hates the cold, boring and lengthy unique serial number, so he imitates the cultural practices of other countries in the Central Star Region and gives himself a vaguely similar one.

Son, but the name cannot help but be repeated:

wildfire.

He believes that this is in line with the "character" accumulated over thousands of years since the separation: he does not want to return to the "melting pot of ideas", and hopes to be a fire burning wantonly in the wilderness. He constantly pursues new experiences until he changes

It was so ordinary; he looked for excitement again and again until he fell into numbness... He was not worried that there would be an end to it, because the Six Heavenly Abominations could always give him more.

And when he suddenly realized that everything was directly or indirectly caused by the six heavenly evils, he was already frightened and addicted, and it was difficult to get rid of it.

It is precisely because of this that the "rebellion" in his "character" drove him to start another journey.

This time he wanted to play a big game. He defected, cut off the connection with the "Furnace of Thoughts", threw himself into the depths of the infinite universe, established his own "Wildfire" cloud, and became a mercenary.

Truly enjoy the excitement of the edge of death and enjoy your own life experience to yourself.

It seemed good at first, but slowly, he fell into the strange circle of the past:

Death is just that; exclusivity... may not be so special.

Regardless of whether he defected or not, he was still an insect stuck on the silk screen spilled by the Six Heavenly Gods. The complete separation in the early stage of his defection turned out to be a joke in the end. From accidentally blurting out praise, to cautious contact, and then to knowing about the Six Heavenly Gods

No matter what, it only takes a few hundred years to regain the habit of being in the "Thought Star Cluster".

He just left the "Thought Star Cluster" and was still crawling at the feet of the Six Heavenly Sins.

No wonder, countless defectors for hundreds of millions of years always return in the end... He is not special, and he is almost unable to resist.

With this knowledge, he began to become even more crazy.

He feared, worshiped, obsessed with, and hated the Six Heavenly Gods; he couldn't live without them, and he wanted to betray them ruthlessly.

Therefore, he joined a legendary organization-Boshen to declare his courage.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t mean much. People are divided into groups, and those who do big things are the core members. He can only hang out in the outer circle. As the "Broken God" organization rises and falls, he gradually tends to the habits of mercenaries and finds opportunities within the organization.

He became a financial sponsor and took profits from some "isolated island galaxies" that have not yet cast their sights on the Kingdom of Gods and the Six Heavenly Gods.

This time, after many twists and turns, he came to the starry sky called "solar system" by the local indigenous people.

Although it is not clear how the "gold master" found this place, with thousands of years of experience, he knows that the benefits are great this time: a vast starry sky that has never been set foot in the central star region, beyond the scope of the light cone.

As a stronghold, it can radiate to millions of star systems. If you are a powerful and ambitious person, you can completely build this starry sky into an independent kingdom far beyond the central star region.

However, the risks are also great.

No one would let go of such a huge benefit, and his "financier" must be prepared with both hands to let them come.

For example, for him: He was asked to cut off his connection with the "Wildfire" cloud. This experience will be archived separately. It will not be unblocked until the starry sky here becomes a registered "island galaxy".

But will the “financier” really know how to register?

He was unsure, but he didn't care, so he readily agreed to this condition, and thus became one of the main leaders of the "Solar System Reclamation Group".

He knew there was a problem here, because according to multiple reliable sources, he was not the first wave of people to arrive in the central star sector of the "Solar System", and one of the orders of the "Financial Master" was to search for "anomalies" in this space and time, and

This is exactly what he wanted.

Everything is just to satisfy curiosity, curiosity is the greatest meaning of life.

After decades of planning and waiting, finally during a routine inspection, through the modified body of a certain "fugitive", an extremely incredible "abnormal" point was discovered, and a highly suspicious target was locked. Originally, he

I was about to capture it successfully, but I didn't expect that there was someone behind the guy...

And it delivered an incredible tearing blow.

What a wonderful blow that was!

It's like a jade belt long river running through the vast mountains, sparkling and dividing the mountains into ridges.

The flickering light was so specific that when I concentrated my mind on sensing it, it expanded and separated in an instant. The connection between the downloaded consciousness and the temporary cloud suddenly tore apart an absurd and even terrifying distance, just like the most common thing in the cosmic web.

And the most insurmountable super "hole" is difficult to bridge.

But what really erases the possibility of "bridging" is the inexplicable twisting and tearing of the sparkling light, and the ferocious intentions that fight and devour each other, so that after one blow, the downloaded consciousness has already taken advantage of the situation to breed rebellion.

Heart - You "Wildfire" can betray the "Thought Cluster" and completely cut off the relationship with the "Thought Furnace". Now that I have also split, why can't I?

As a result, this "Wildfire" is no longer that "Wildfire". Even though he has inherited thousands of years of "Wildfire" memories and a "character" shaped by countless experiences, the ambition of independent existence overwhelms everything.

Even though it was severely injured by the tearing damage and the carrier collapsed, "New Wildfire" still struggled to turn its gun. Before the "Old Wildfire" in the temporary cloud could react, it tried its best to attract a deformed lizard.

Wrapped in the remnants of being a "fugitive", they parasitized on the lizard, forming such a three-party confusion and four-dimensional confusion, starting a new round of escape and resistance.

Then in the next few years, the "New Wildfire", who knew itself and the enemy, began to steal and compete for the resources under the "Old Wildfire", and thus grew rapidly and gradually became a climate, objectively forming a powerful force against the "Solar System Reclamation Group"

contain.

"New Wildfire" also maintains a high degree of interest in the "abnormality" of this time and space, so he also included the remnants of the "escapees" to always retain this "cross-border gravity" and closely preserve the memories of that tragic battle.

The relevant memories were never mentioned to anyone again.

Not only because of interest, but also because there are rare things to live in.
