Chapter 2 Dream World, Infection Crisis

"I! No! Will! Be! Forgotten! Forgotten!" Blazing light filled the field of vision, God's will roared, surrender! Surrender to the radiation!
"ah!"
Lu Zhengkang woke up with a start.
His first sleep in this world was not perfect, and he was awakened by unreasonable fear.
The sound just now was? Radiation?
The ultimate boss of the Hollow Knight, the old faith, the god of light, the rookie killer, the boss’ rbq...
Lu Zhengkang's vague worries have become a reality. If radiation is real, then all insects must face it, and Lu Zhengkang is no exception.
As a forgotten god, Radiant's anger can destroy the kingdom of bugs. Bugs infected by his will will lose themselves, become confused, become ferocious and violent, or in other words, abandon civilization and return to the wild.
Lu Zhengkang was born as a human and would never allow himself to be infected.
However, as a man who has a deep understanding of the original work, Lu Zhengkang actually knows quite a bit about how to avoid the bad luck of being infected.
In the original work, radiation spreads its lost faith in the dreams of insects, and those insects with weak wills or spiritual flaws cannot escape the fate of being corrupted.
Those who were not infected in the original work were either in special locations or had strong wills.
Intelligent bugs are advanced creatures, and they have the prerequisites to be immune to infection, but they cannot have too much desire in their hearts, and only if their hearts have no flaws can they withstand the will of radiation.
If these conditions are met, then you don’t have to worry about never waking up after falling asleep.
After thinking hard, Lu Zhengkang felt tired again. The previous insect was no longer there, so he could only endure hunger.
Looking around, it was a round stone hut. In addition to many tools hanging on the wall, there were also some drawings. The weak light in the room made it difficult for Lu Zhengkang to see clearly what was on the drawings, so he stopped pursuing details.
In order to save energy, he cleared his mind and stopped thinking. Time passed little by little. When Lu Zhengkang was about to fall asleep again, the insect came back. He muttered something and still dragged it in his hand.
The body of a small reptile.
The first thing the big insect did when he came back was to feed the deer Zhengkang. He hummed a song with a happy tone.
It seems to be a happy insect, Lu Zhengkang thought to himself. The food supply gave him the energy to think. There are not many intelligent insects in the original work, and they are all very distinctive and easy to identify. They are round and have a carapace appearance.
It has a unique shape, as if it is wearing clothes and a hat, with only a pair of eyes exposed and tools hanging on its waist. It should be a maintenance bug.
This is a kind of bug that lives all over the underground kingdom Hallownest. They are responsible for repairing some infrastructure, such as street lights, road signs, etc.
When he first played the game, Lu Zhengkang also saw one. That one lived on the Forgotten Crossroads. He was controlling the protagonist, the Little Knight, to perform a super sprint and accidentally killed him. Then he found the maintenance bug.
I learned from his notes that there are still many insects in their tribe.
To be honest, after reading the notes at that time, he felt quite guilty. He accidentally killed such a good insect. He didn't expect that things in the world are unpredictable, and in the blink of an eye, he became someone to be taken care of.
The life of a larva is nothing to explain in detail. It eats, sleeps, wakes up to eat, and excretes at any time, that's it.
But the world of dreams remains the same day by day.
The huge gap between reality and dreams makes Lu Zhengkang more willing to stay in dreams. Here he is a god, but when he wakes up, he is just an insignificant insect.
It has been a while since he came to this world. He doesn't know how the sun and moon rotate here, and he sleeps and wakes up from time to time, so he doesn't know how long it has been since he first consciously observed the world.
In his dream, he could make a clock and roughly keep time, but when he was awake, the clock in his dream did not move, so it had no meaning in keeping time.
But it has indeed been a while, a few weeks have passed in the dream, and in reality his insect body has matured a bit.
People have to think about their own future. After Lu Zhengkang experienced the initial confusion, he finally mustered up the courage to face the reality. The reality is that he is a bug now, and he has to fight. He wants to make his bug's life a glorious one.
, he wants to be a warrior, he wants a lot, but in the final analysis, he loves games, he loves the game "Hollow Knight", he wants to participate in all this, he wants the world to witness that he, Lu Zhengkang, is a master player and a strong player.
who!
fighting!
He needs to sharpen his will, both for survival and for his dream.
But how to fight? With whom?
Lu Zhengkang is still a larva, fragile and vulnerable. He does not need enemies. Even natural wind and frost can easily take away his life.
So the answer is clear, he wants to fight himself.
Where to fight? In a dream!
Lu Zhengkang knew that he was omnipotent in his dreams, so he gave full play to his imagination and created another self, which was also a bug.
His consciousness exists in two bodies in the dream at the same time. He can control the two bodies to fight with each other at the same time, but this creates a problem, that is, the thoughts interfere with each other. Both bodies know the other's next move, know themselves and the enemy.
There is no need to fight at all.
Therefore, he needs to split his consciousness into two halves so that they are not connected to each other, and then there will be conditions for fighting.
But this is risky business.
He is afraid that he will have a split personality.
After thinking hard for a while, Lu Zhengkang found a solution.
He created a third body. The consciousness in this body is responsible for communicating with the other two. It can be called the general consciousness, which governs the sub-consciousnesses. The sub-consciousnesses cannot communicate with each other. The general consciousness is responsible for the communication and behavioral observation of the sub-consciousnesses.
After Lu Zhengkang split into three consciousnesses, he felt quite powerless. He knew that this was his limit for the time being. If he wanted to split more consciousnesses, he needed a stronger will and enough training time.
Dream duel arena.
This was built by Lu Zhengkang to imitate the God's Residence in the game, the Arena of Fools, and the Roman Colosseum in reality. There is a long pillar in the center of the venue, and a throne that can rotate freely is erected. The general consciousness sits on it, and the bottom is golden.
There are many mechanisms hidden on the ground and underground, with spikes, platforms, etc., which can create a variety of combat environments to meet all needs.
On the periphery is the circular stand, which is the auditorium. It is only for decoration and is empty for the time being.
Today, Lu Zhengkang decided to start the first battle in his life.
Total awareness is in place.
Two consciousnesses walked out of the doorway below the auditorium.
Not a humanoid, but two maintenance bugs. Why not a humanoid? Because in reality he is a bug. Why a maintenance bug? Because he is really a maintenance bug!
One of them is a sword-and-shielder, and the other is a dual-wielding swordsman.
Lu Zhengkang, a rookie with no combat experience at all, started a duet with two separate consciousnesses.
The cautious look is like two hedgehogs testing each other. They want to defeat their opponent, but they are also afraid of the long thorns on the opponent's body.
The total consciousness can perceive the thinking of both parties.
There is only one word for coward.
Chapter completed!
