How about some quantum jokes? Instead of talking about wave-particle duality, let’s just talk about a small setting.
For example, the existence of a living body can exist in both reality and dreamland at the same time under certain interference, but it is not so much interference as "activation".
"Activate" the "observation" process that determines your main existence, and determine your appearance between "dream" and "reality".
——"Interpretation of Fantasy Dreams", Huiying
The warm courtyard, the fragrant smoke, the busy woman humming songs, preparing delicious meals with anticipation, and the eyes looking into the gap in the courtyard door are full of happiness.
But contrary to that happiness, Xi Nian was sitting cross-legged in the room, with dry lips and pale skin, and his trembling body being enveloped by the blue-red mist floating around.
The blue ones are mustard particles, and the red ones are blood.
(Why did you refuse my invitation? You have already stepped in with half your foot~ Come on~ Let me see you now~ (Foreign language))
That familiar voice spanned time and memory. Xi Nian painfully tried to avoid the call that pierced his heart, and tried his best to prevent the activation of "Existence Observation".
She didn't want to set foot on that dusty plane for a long time, and she didn't want to recall those burning "dreams".
I don't even want to meet that, oh, "good boy".
(Are you really unwilling to come to see me? Even if your apprentice is being besieged, you don’t care? (Foreign language))
(…)
Xi Nian remained indifferent, she chose to believe it.
I believe what this girl said about the current situation, and I believe in Lin Shuwen’s strong fortune and strength.
(Guhuhu... Since, Xiaonian, you are not here, then Teacher, I will go find you myself~)
The girl left the last message in Chinese Mandarin, and together with the invitation, disappeared from Xi Nian's perception.
"Cough...cough cough!!"
The "nightmare" was over, and Xi Nian, who could finally take a breath, coughed weakly a few times and fell from the air.
"Abigail William Ross, well, is it because of Shuwen's child...Father God Yogurt, it turns out that he has already started to take action..."
Breathing heavily, Xi Nian covered his heart with a wry smile, his thin and thin figure looking so haggard and weak.
"Qian, I miss you so much..."
Xi Nian held the magic wand, murmuring her longing for her adopted son and lover, and fainted weakly on the ground.
"Bang!"
The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground woke up Feng Xuyuan who was busy in the kitchen. He casually turned the fire of the soup to a low flame. Feng Xuyuan, who noticed something, stepped on the magic circle to go to his best friend's room.
Rescued the witch Xi Nian who fell into coma.
At the same time, on the outer streets, Lin Shuwen, who had confirmed the target of beating the person, was stopped in place by the "Si" in the sea of knowledge. But before the other party could explain in detail, the scene around Lin Shuwen's body suddenly turned into a red.
wilderness.
(Hallucination?)
"Welcome to the journey home~"
"!"
Lin Shuwen suddenly turned around, and a rich woman holding a folding fan was covering her face with a chuckle, and finished the second half of her welcome speech:
"My dear "brother"."
The cracked tentacles mixed with the broken bodies filled the red wilderness in a moment. Naiya stepped back, and the dozen or so people who just stopped him on the road had veins popping out, as if they were crawling from this place.
It looked like it was growing on the ground, standing between Lin Shuwen and Naiya?
Then, the human form began to collapse.
"Owner!"
"Um?!"
"when!"
The call of the waning moon inspired Lin Shuwen to subconsciously block. In the crisp sound of metal collision, Lin Shuwen "returned" to reality.
"Just now……"
"Pfft!"
The fighting instinct didn't give Lin Shuwen much time to think. He raised his leg and kicked forward with enough force to knock the opponent unconscious. He kicked the man in front of him who had blocked the steel rod.
But a stinging pain dyed his vision red again.
"!!!"
The right calf in sight was cut into strips of flesh by ring-shaped fangs, and was being greedily preyed upon by the mouth of the lamprey located on the creature's abdomen.
"roll!"
Lin Shuwen roared out and drove the black thorns piercing out from the shadow, almost furiously tearing the monster in front of him into pieces.
Shocked under the pressure, Lin Shuwen, who was temporarily out of danger, let the black mustard particles wrap around his right leg and body, and decisively rolled away from the dozen or so deformed "human beings" who were approaching.
That's right, he was in that red wilderness again at this time!
"Master your legs!"
The vision turned again, and the real pain reappeared directly. Lin Shuwen's right leg that had kicked the opponent suddenly exploded without warning, and was then wrapped and fixed by black mustard particles that were too fast.
"Zangyue, protect me in reality, as long as you don't let me get hurt in reality, that's enough!"
"yes!"
After making arrangements, Lin Shuwen closed his eyes, eager to find the feeling of being in the red wilderness.
That is definitely not an illusion, that is another reality! It will directly affect the reality here!
But there was no way he could re-enter that wilderness!
("think"!)
(…)
The silence seemed to be accompanied by a countdown, and Lin Shuwen could clearly feel the reflection of the sharp blade on his head.
That's right, in reality over there, he was about to be beheaded!
(it's over……)
(...Tsk! Boy, there is still the "seed" of that woman in your nasal cavity. Put your consciousness into the smell that connects reality and dreams, and then "fall asleep"!)
"when!"
The claw blade blocked the huge bite, and the jagged teeth tried to rotate like a chainsaw, but were firmly stuck in the air by the red claws.
The next second, the dark dragon claw pierced the monster's upper jaw, and the red claw seemed to not exist, and it turned into red mist and dissipated.
"Click!"
Lin Shuwen, who returned to the dreamland, transformed his hands into dragons. The ferocious black dragon's claws, with bloodthirsty wildness, tore the giant mouth that was trying to decapitate into two halves!
"Huh... just now..."
Lin Shuwen shook off the blood on his claws, feeling the lingering familiar feeling in his heart.
There seemed to be something red that blocked the fatal bite for him.
But now, there is no time to continue investigating...
Lin Shuwen, who "healed" his right leg with dragon transformation, had ferocious limbs. His bloodthirsty light swept across the inhuman monsters in front of him, and finally locked on the rich woman in the center.
In reality, Zang Yue, who also transformed into a dragon, tore the bodies of the remaining "people" who attacked for the third time. But what is desperate is that even though it was a fatal injury that could kill three times, it was
After a few seconds, it was like going back in time and the response was as before.
Cangyue finally realized that this escort battle would be a tug-of-war of perseverance.
In the dreamland, Lin Shuwen, who was accustomed to his physical state, faced the woman who was covering her face with a fan and said through gritted teeth:
"Swollen Daughter?"
"You can also call me directly by the name of Nyarlathotep ~ my dear "brother"."
The incarnation of Nyarlathotep, the Swollen Girl lifted up the front and back hems of her cheongsam, which was slit to the chest, revealing her body unreservedly, and performed a very exaggerated "skirt-lifting ceremony" to Lin Shuwen.
Lin Shuwen was expressionless, feeling a little ridiculous about the idea that he had improved his opinion of Naia.
"If I guess correctly, Wenxin was kidnapped by you, right?"
"That's right, but it was the group of humans who made this decision. I just followed their prayers and helped a little bit."
Naiya Swollen Daughter put down her cheongsam and opened the folding fan again in front of her. Lin Shuwen could clearly feel the brilliant smiling face behind the folding fan.
"But I'm very generous~ and I know where your bottom line is, "brother"~ That human being was not harmed in the slightest. Of course, you can guess whether it was those humans who meant it or me?"
"Is this what is called equivalent exchange?"
Lin Shuwen remembered what Naiya had mentioned in the alley.
"Yes, it's "atonement". As long as you and your humans defeat and annex that wave of humans, I will return this little girl named Ye Wenxin to "brother" intact."
Naia Swollen Daughter put away her folding fan. Behind her, a sarcoid composed of twisted tentacles and pieces of flesh was rising from the ground, but no human presence was felt inside.
For some reason, in the dreamland, Lin Shuwen clearly felt that his various abilities had been greatly improved, as if he had activated field magic.
"In order to "atone", did you kill "Hibiscus"?"
"No, I have already "atoneed" for those sins of mankind. When you were fighting against Hydra, I had already "atoneed" for them. In terms of the number of humans and the final result, I have "atoneed" for them in exchange of equal value.
.”
"So, in this exchange of equal value, you are trying to "redeem" the blood scale."
"But because most of the responsibility for that lies with Yogurt, so following the principle of equivalent exchange, you need to defeat those humans with my intervention."
Naiya, the Swollen Daughter, smiled with a cracked smile, but the girl-like look made Lin Shuwen's anger ease a little.
After all, it was already clear how to save Ye Wenxin.
"Why? To "atone"?"
Lin Shuwen flicked his right wrist in a fighting stance.
"Of course, for you, "brother", so that when you become an Outer God, you can stay with me without any barriers."
The folding fan of Naia Swollen Daughter swayed gently, and the monsters that had been waiting in front of them for a long time revealed their mutated and armed bodies, locking on Lin Shuwen in front.
"Then, have a good game~"
"howl……!!!"
On the red wilderness, towering and winding things danced wantonly, and the red noise filled their gaps. Then, the incomplete limbs flew out of the smoke, and were eaten away by the cracked tentacles in the air.
Naia, the Swollen Daughter, covered her face with a folding fan and looked at the bloody battlefield in front of her with a flushed face. Her restless palm slowly moved down. On the ground where she was, several grotesque tentacles rose up from the ground and interacted with each other.
The entanglement covered her body.
I began to enjoy this enjoyable game wholeheartedly.
