"That means there is a crack or passage deep in the Mushroom Paradise that leads to the depths of the dream world? The monsters inside, those dream monsters, can come out through the passage at any time?" Bai Ye was a little strange.
"That's not true. You definitely can't come out at any time, otherwise this planet won't be so peaceful. Those dream monsters are making a lot of noise." The Lord of Nightmares said. "It should be just a temporary or intermittent passage that can only be opened under certain conditions or time.
Open the channel."
Dream monsters are not good. They are very simple, as simple as pure beasts. They only act based on instinct, seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.
Human beings are very attractive food to them.
Therefore, if dream monsters come to the human world, in most cases they will conflict with humans and then a war will break out.
Bai Ye found some of the whole story of what happened in Mushroom Paradise on the Internet.
So far, sixty years have passed since this incident.
Some details and secrets that were tightly sealed by the Obsidian Federation back then have now been revealed.
Sixty years ago, Base City No. 21 in the West District, a city with a population of over 10 million, was reduced to death overnight.
Countless people fell, and only a part of the city guards patrolling the city wall and some people at the city gate managed to escape.
It was a sunny day, but the sky suddenly became dark.
The sky is obscured by countless fine spores.
Spores fall on people one by one, and then quickly grow into orange mushrooms.
People were sucked into mummies.
Only flame can temporarily disperse the spores.
However, the spores burned by the flame will turn into ashes. After the dust is inhaled into the lungs, it will revive again, turn into new mushrooms, absorb nutrients from the human body, and grow faster in the internal organs.
"Is there this spore in the dream world?" Bai Ye asked.
"This is not the method of the dream world." The Nightmare Lord shook his head.
"Although there are dream monsters in the dream world that have the ability to infect, mushroom spores should not exist. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they are new descendants who came out during the period when I was sealed. However, this ability of physical infection is highly likely to be different from the dream world.
It doesn't matter."
"Can you tell me what infection in the dream world is like?" Bai Ye was very interested in the dream world.
The surface of the dream world is the reflection of the real world. Bai Ye prefers to call it the gray world.
"Infection in the dream world... let me give you an example." The Nightmare Lord fell into memories.
"I once met a monster in the deep space of the dream world. Its shape is a pig face and a human body. There is a maniacally laughing human face on its chest. Wherever the human face is looked at, all intelligent life will be infected with a strange disease.
He would laugh maniacally and run around while dancing.
As long as there are other weak-willed intelligent beings within ten meters of the existence of Laughter, they will contract this disease and run with the Laughter. After one day, the head of a person infected with Laughter will turn into a hydrogen balloon and then separate from the body.
Take to the sky…and boom!”
"The exploded balloon will secrete a special smell that spreads to a radius of one thousand meters, and all intelligent life within the radius of one thousand meters will continue to be infected with the laughter syndrome."
"This is much more powerful than the spores. These infection abilities can actually spread the infection a second time," Bai Ye said.
"It's different from spores. This laughter disease plants a seed deep in the soul and spreads through spiritual infection. Even walls and mountains cannot block the spreading breath."
"What's the name of the dream monster?"
"I don't know, who can remember the name of a food, it has been eaten by me a long time ago." The Lord of Nightmares smiled strangely.
Bang bang~
Bai Ye clapped his hands.
"Good guy, I said all this just to pave the way for this last pretentious sentence."
This damn crow is getting more and more naughty.
When he was first summoned, he was not very familiar with the human world and seemed a little confused, so he was always cautious.
He is missing most of the day, running around and messing around in secret.
Most of the time I went to other people's computers to steal study materials.
I don’t know how many secrets I’ve seen through dreams in the past six months.
Becoming more and more like a person.
"Why do you want me to buy this sickle?"
"It's the Scythe of Souls." The Lord of Nightmares emphasized.
"It is also a monster deep in the dream world. It has the ability to penetrate the body and directly attack the soul. Now I have some people under my command. Maybe I can try to resurrect it."
"You can actually resurrect the dead." Why didn't Bai Ye know that the Lord of Nightmares had this ability?
"It's not a resurrection. What I resurrected is not the original Soul Reaper." The Lord of Nightmares said. "I have said before that the dream monsters in the depths of dreams are a combination of imagination from countless dreams. As long as there are still dreams.
As long as it exists in the world, the dream world will never disappear."
"The same is true for these dream monsters. Their origins are often related to certain thoughts and legends in the real world."
"As long as someone dreams of them and thinks about them in a dream, when the dream disappears, the last remnants of the dream will blend into the depths of the dream, enhancing their power."
"Believer?" Bai Ye found that this method of becoming stronger is very similar to the church, which is the way to promote believers.
But the dream monster is different, it does not require people to believe in it.
Just need people to remember it.
Whether it's fear, hatred, fear, obsession, reverence, or love.
As long as there are people and intelligent life remember them, they will always exist and continue to grow.
There are no certain churches that have anything to do with them.
Bai Ye suddenly had a horrifying thought.
"After the dream monster is killed, it will indeed disappear. But as long as its legends and names are still spread in the world, and there are still people who remember them, maybe one day in the future, over time, they will revive again."
"This world is too big, and there are countless legends or thoughts that have been passed down over the years." The Lord of Nightmares said.
"As long as there is a legend about the Soul Reaper somewhere, I can seize the deep power of the dream world to resurrect it."
Bai Ye felt that the Lord of Nightmares might have other deeper meanings in doing this.
He seemed to have guessed Bai Ye's thoughts.
The Lord of Nightmares smiled strangely: "I am the Lord of Eternal Nightmares. What kind of Nightmare Lord can I be if I only rule the shallow dream world? When word spread, others thought that I, the Lord of Nightmares, was not worthy of my virtue. As long as I put the Soul Seizing Scythe in the shallow dream world,
If the upper dream world is resurrected successfully, I can successfully plunder the origin of the deep dream world! As long as I wield the hoe well, I will be full every day!"
"When one day all the origins of the deep dream world are integrated with the shallow dream world, I will be the real Lord of Nightmares."
"Awesome, you have ideals. But aren't you afraid of being beaten to death if you dig into the deep dream world like this?" Bai Ye gave a thumbs up.
"..." The corners of the Nightmare Lord's mouth twitched.
