Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 622: collective dream

Views:

Odick is still wearing that dark black thick woolen coat, which makes people wonder if he has any other clothes, but considering that it is still spring and the wind is cold, it does not seem to be a problem to wear it like this.

At this time, he was over 1.8 meters tall, and had the characteristics of the two major races of gray soil and red river. The tip of the nose is slightly red.

Jiang Baimian immediately caught Shang Jianyao, who was trying to meet his friends in the past, and told him with his mouth:

We are still wanted criminals, don't expose your identities in public!

Jiang Baimian didn't know if Shang Jianyao understood what he meant. Anyway, after seeing that he was honest, he immediately turned his attention to the huge screen hanging in the hall of the original City Hunter Guild, trying to seize the time to figure out the task that made Odick frown. What exactly is it.

The corresponding content was quickly reflected in her eyes:

"Task:

"Investigate the reasons behind a collective dream.

"Description: Recently, citizens of Qinglan District have reported to the clinic doctor that they were frightened by nightmares, insomnia, headache, nausea, fatigue, and loss of appetite for several consecutive days. The preliminary investigation confirmed that there were 161 people with similar conditions. The nightmares they described were very similar. They were all an invisible monster crawling out of the darkness, or biting and swallowing them, or forcing them to run wild for a long time, falling to the ground, and being enveloped by a cold feeling.

"Remuneration: As long as it passes the review and is confirmed to be valid, the minimum for a clue is 20 Aure, and the maximum is 800 Aure. If you can really investigate the truth, you can get a reward of 5,000 Aure, and if the problem is solved directly, 20,000 Aure.

"Task level: Finding clues is C-level, 100 credit points, investigating the truth is B, 1,000 credit points, solving problems is A, 10,000 credit points.

"Mission Personnel Requirements: None

"Posted by: 'Hand of Order' and the Primal City Chapter of the Hunter Guild."

"Wow." Shang Jianyao exclaimed sincerely, "If I can complete such a task, I can directly become a 'senior hunter', no, it's not too far."

Several hunters around couldn't help but glanced sideways at this guy.

Dare you to be an "official hunter", what A-level task are you considering

It takes 1,000 credit points to go from "official hunter" to "intermediate hunter", and 10,000 credit points to go from "intermediate hunter" to "senior hunter". Therefore, as long as an "intermediate hunter" completes this A-level task, he can directly become a "Intermediate Hunter". Senior Hunter".

But in fact, such things rarely happen, and those who can be rated as A-level tasks by the Hunter Guild often have to be "senior hunters" to be able to blend in with strength.

Of course, the level of hunters is not equal to their own strength. Some people have just become "official hunters", and they can drive out of this world those who are definitely more dangerous than A-level and S-level.

Even if Xiaobai just found a clue, he can become a "senior hunter"... Long Yuehong was moved by Shang Jianyao's words.

However, several members of the "Old Tune Team" are all wanted criminals, and their original hunter identity will definitely not be able to be used within the "First City" sphere of influence, and they will not be able to accept missions even if they want to.

- This situation does not affect the "Old Tune Team" taking missions in other forces' sites and increasing the level of hunters. After all, what is the relationship between the wanted criminals of "First City" and my "Salvation Army"

Only those who seriously violate the rules of the Hunter Guild and have no credibility will be blacklisted by local branches and become "dark hunters".

Jiang Baimian did not pay attention to the reactions of Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, and silently said to himself:

The description of this mission is very strange and terrifying...

Therefore, the Hunter Guild set the difficulty of completion as A level

What does this have to do with the powerful awakeners in the field of "Dawn"? Does Boss Hugo and the "True Self" they belong to know something

Well, what Odick awakened was the ability in the field of "Dawn", and it involved dreams. No wonder he frowned when he read the mission description just now...

With many thoughts, Jiang Baimian looked at other tasks.

That's what they came to the Hunter Guild for.

Through part of the mission, the "Old Tune Team" confirmed one thing, and that is that the originally sleeping "First City" war beast is slowly awakening.

At present, "it" is still in the stage of shaking off the dust and cleaning itself.

The goal is the "Salvation Army"? Once these two major forces go to war, the stable lives of many people will fall apart... Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze and led Shang Jianyao and others, no, followed Shang Jianyao and others, and walked out of the Hunter Guild.

At this time, Odik had gone somewhere.

"Can I go and say hello to Odick now?" Shang Jianyao asked after sitting back in the jeep.

In his heart, Odick is not only a friend, but also a good person. He once borrowed a car for them to drive, and fought side by side against the fake "priest" and the nobles of Weed City.

Jiang Baimian glanced at this guy:

"Remember your identity:

"A wanted criminal with a high reward.

"Even if you don't respect the 'Hand of Order' as a law enforcement agency, consider whether it will implicate Odick."

"Okay." Although Shang Jianyao, who is very emotional, understands, he is still unhappy.

Bai Chen, who was driving, asked another thing:

"Which district do we live in tonight?"

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"Look for a rental house near the Ugo Hotel."

As a result, the "Old Tunes Group" returned to the Green Olive Area and found a rental house where the Ugo Hotel could be seen from a distance.

Now there is no citizen parade in the original city, Jiang Baimian and others tasted a dinner consisting of pork sausage, beetroot soup, oatmeal bread and baked potato skins.

During this process, they did not forget to bring boiled water to soak the sun-dried mushrooms to increase the richness of the dishes.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Baimian generously allowed all members to play on the laptop for two hours after returning to the rental house.

When the entertainment was over, Genova took turns to watch the night, and the others went back to their houses to prepare to rest.

However, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao still have things to do before they go to bed.

In the "Sea of Origins", Jiang Baimian once again climbed the island of fear.

After several explorations, she has confirmed that what is presented here is the abandoned "Pangu creatures" underground building, which probably corresponds to her fear of losing relatives, friends, colleagues and familiar life.

There is no enemy here for Jiang Baimian to deal with, and there is no special state that she needs to break. Every time she can only wander in the empty company, getting lost, sitting, staring, like a ghost that doesn't want to disappear.

As time went by and the spirit was exhausted, Jiang Baimian finally had to leave here and return to reality.

During this time, she had tried three different schemes, but none of them had any effect.

In this regard, she was very envious of Shang Jianyao, and felt that if it were him to face this situation, she would definitely separate herself and play different roles, making the underground building more lively and less lonely.

But thinking about it carefully, Jiang Baimian felt that this was a deeper loneliness, with an indescribable sadness.

Huh, today I will go through the "underground building" from beginning to end to see if there is anything missing, and if there is any place that can bring inspiration... After that, put down your face, discuss with them, and hope they can give advice from different perspectives … Jiang Baimian looked at the entrance of the underground building and pondered for a while.

Then, she discreetly identified the direction, confirmed the path, and stepped into the elevator step by step.

Corridor of the mind, room "912", on that cruise ship.

Shang Jianyao found himself back at the time when he just climbed to the deck.

At this time, the sea breeze was blowing, the sky was bright, and people around the cruise ship gathered in groups of three and five to communicate.

Near the entrance of the cabin, a man with a mole on his eyebrows and his companion, who was holding a crumpled cigarette, were standing there, just like when Shang Jianyao first met.

"Sure enough, every time you enter, you will jump for a while, and when you jump to the end, you will return to the beginning." Shang Jianyao raised his hand and rubbed his chin.

After this period of experimentation, they have initially mastered the laws of this psychological shadow:

One, under normal circumstances, where you are when you leave, you are in the nearest room when you enter.

Second, if you leave on the last day of this "world", re-entering will return to the first day of arrival on the deck, appearing where you originally stayed.

Third, each time you enter, the time of forward flow is not fixed, but follows a rule: day and night strictly take turns. That is to say, this time it is daytime, the next time it comes in must be night, and vice versa.

Fourth, during the day, everyone on the cruise ship is in a normal state and has food to enjoy. At night, most people will enter a state of confusion and madness. Once Shang Jianyao uses his abilities, he will be assimilated quickly, and if he is attacked, Died here, the result is likely to be a vegetative state.

Fifth, this psychological shadow contains a total of four days and three nights.

Six, the period before boarding the cruise seems to be very special, and it will not be repeated after that.

"The sixth point is worth exploring..." The cowardly and timid Shang Jianyao is the only one who can keep up with the calm and rational Shang Jianyao when it comes to thinking.

"It's a pity we can't go back." Shang Jianyao, who was seeking novelty and wonder, was greatly disappointed.

The cowardly and timid Shang Jianyao sneered:

"We can't, it doesn't mean others can't.

"If you can catch an Awakener at the level of 'Spiritual Corridor' and force him to enter this room, he should be able to appear on the dock.

"It might bring some change."

Clap clap clap, honest businessmen will definitely applaud when they should.

Jiang Baimian walked to the end of an aisle and saw the darkness behind the half-closed door without the slightest light.

This reminded her of "You Gu", and suddenly felt a little fear in her heart.

At this moment, she felt the floor and walls shake slightly.

Has something changed? Jiang Baimian just flashed such a thought when he saw a bloody pale palm sticking out of the darkness against the ground.
