Fortunately, nightmares are not a series, and there are no episodes. Hao Ren just appeared in the same place he was when he left the dream plane last time, but the wolves that attacked him at that time were no longer there. The village was surrounded by a group of wild monsters reincarnated at the birth point of the bitter scene.

But waves of howling wolves still came from all directions. Although they didn't sound nearby, it was enough to make Hao Ren, a guy who hadn't seen enough of the world, tremble with fear. He and the ranger were in another world, where neither the wolf nor he had any protection, and frankly—this was wolf territory, he was an outsider.

As the only outsider on the wolves-occupied grassland, Hao Ren tightened his clothes to resist the coldness that permeated his body and heart at the same time. He walked forward, wondering if his brain had deteriorated from being with Lily for too long: why did he have to put on his pajamas shiveringly when he went back to sleep? !

According to the experience of entering the dream plane last time, a person's physical condition in the dream plane is exactly the same as that in the outside world, including the clothes he wears and his own physical fitness, but Hao Ren was stunned. Forgot, he, Vivienne and Y'zaks messed up a lot of preparations in the living room, and the final result was that he almost couldn't sleep, and he was still wearing pajamas!

Walking on the prairie with one deep foot and one shallow foot, Hao Ren looked down at his feet, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Damn it, and I haven't put on shoes yet... If that crazy woman knows about this, it might be wrong." What is it like to be complained about?"

A voice suddenly sounded from the side: "She will laugh at you for a while, and then post it on the message board of the local universe channel, but it's hard to say if she can get a few likes in the end, she is a well-known character in this universe. The water post is so crazy that she has to post it several times to send a divine revelation to her followers—because no one reads it.”

Hao Ren was startled by the sudden appearance of the voice, and when he took a closer look, he found a small metal block the size of a palm was floating silently beside him, and he was shocked: "Terminal?! Why did you follow me in too? gone?"

"Why can't you come in?" The data terminal said lazily, "Didn't you hear what the chief said, this machine is also responsible for providing guidance when you can't enter the dream plane, even the guidance work can be done, why can't this machine Come in?"

"But don't you need to dream when you come here..." Hao Ren looked at this small device that has become so sophisticated, "Could it be that the artificial intelligence is advanced enough to dream?"

"Dreams are an inefficient and boring way to maintain the system. This machine doesn't need this kind of thing," the data terminal said in a tense tone. "Who told you that you have to dream to enter the dream plane? It's just that you have to dream to get in." , if you control your mental power to a certain level, you will have the opportunity to touch the dream plane, but it’s too early for you to think about it now.”

Hao Ren knew that this data terminal would find an opportunity to quarrel with its master whenever it opened its mouth, so the smartest way to deal with it was to pretend to be farting. He took a look at the vast prairie, and felt that it would be nice to have a talking partner beside him, and maybe this terminal could have an unexpected effect here, so he tentatively asked: "Can you conjure me a suit of clothes?" Come?"

The data terminal was silent for a moment: "What do you think?"

"Isn't this a virtual world? Aren't you a supercomputer? That's what I see in sci-fi movies. Use data to organize a..."

Before Hao Ren finished speaking, the data terminal interrupted him roughly: "Who told you this misunderstanding? The dream plane is a virtual world? Then why can you bring things out from here, and someone died in the dream plane?" In the plane?"

Hao Ren opened his mouth, admitting that he had accidentally put something he took for granted in this unknown area. In fact, Raven 12345 had told him about the "authenticity" of the Dream Plane before, but Hao Ren's insights were limited at the time, and he still didn't quite understand this issue. Now...well, he still doesn't understand it, but he has already Learn to ignore this problem.

"I don't even have a pair of shoes..." Hao Ren sighed as he walked, "I can't bear to keep going. Is there anything else I can replace?"

"Yes," the data terminal said in a calm tone, and it only spit out the second half of the sentence when Hao Ren regained his energy, "A tenacious spirit."

"… hehe."

One person and one machine (is this combination strange?) Walking in the dark, Hao Ren didn't want to stop casually. Even though his condition is really not very good now, he decided to go on like this. After all, he entered the dream plane to temper himself. I came here by myself, so what's the point of coming in and waiting until I wake up naturally. Anyway, when he encounters a fatal threat, he will forcibly leave here (thanks to Raven 12345 for the little pill), and he is not worried about really dying. Now he is just curious about what kind of place this is.

He turned his gaze to the distance. When he left last time, he saw something that looked like a house in the distance. Now that those things are still there, it means that it is not an illusion, so let's target the "house" in the distance.

One person and one computer (is this combination strange?) They were driving silently in the dark. When Hao Ren felt a little bored, the data terminal suddenly said, "This computer needs to remind you of three things."

Hao Ren casually agreed: "Say."

"First, resolutely abandon the idea that this is a 'virtual space'. Although the dream plane is not the real world, it has a huge impact on the real world. If you die here, you will die in the real world, and you will also die in the real world." To be able to take things here out, you have to figure out the specific mechanism of 'bringing out'. Of course, you should already know this."

"Second, no matter what you see here, don't be surprised, just accept it directly, and then analyze the cause and effect slowly after returning to the real world. If you have too much confusion here, your connection with the dream plane will quickly weaken , It’s not a good thing that the training journey ends early.”

"Third, don't you think it's a very stupid thing to let your own data terminal float next to you? I've seen people who walk cats and dogs but not people who walk PDAs! Put this device in your pocket quickly, do you hear it! ?”

Hao Ren: "..."

"Hey wait, don't go away! This machine is talking to you, do you hear me! Put this machine in your pocket quickly, this machine is a mobile device, but it's not a mobile device, you know what a mobile device means... don't you Let's go! At least tie a rope to this machine and drag it, the suspension function of this machine is for emergency use, not for rushing... "

Hao Ren didn't pay attention to this data terminal that was as neurotic as the Raven 12345. He just kept his head down and walked forward, so the annoying noise of the data terminal rang in his ears for a full half an hour. , Hao Ren found that his body strengthening was really effective. He ran such a long distance in the wilderness without wearing shoes, and he didn't feel out of breath. At least the soles of his feet were much stronger than usual. In this way, he walked for a long time, and the small houses in the distance seemed to have entered a lot, but just before he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, something hair-raising happened.

He clearly heard a rustling sound from the nearby grass, and then a vague smell drifted into his nostrils along the night wind. It was the breath of a beast.

There are wolves, and they are the unique, incredibly huge black strange wolves of the Dream Plane!

The wolves haven't come to the vicinity yet, but they have clearly noticed the scent of prey here. Now these beasts are carefully setting up an encirclement, using their usual ambush tactics to prepare for a feast, but this time Hao Ren noticed it early There was a dangerous atmosphere around him—he was completely surrounded when the wolves appeared last time, and there were faint gazes in the surrounding grass, but this time he noticed the wolves as soon as they made a move.

Hao Ren deeply lamented that the adjustment warehouse is really a great thing, and then silently thought that his progress would be of no use: When he realized it, he would still be surrounded!

"This machine recommends that you don't run," the voice of the data terminal sounded in his head, it seems that this thing also knows that it needs to be concealed at the moment, "You can't run away from wolves, even with your current level of enhancement, you can only get rid of them." Part of it can't get out of the encirclement."

"Tough and tough?" Hao Ren tried to calm his heartbeat. He knew that the wolf didn't know that he knew that the wolf was approaching—you can understand this sentence, "I feel a little guilty."

"Would it be worthwhile to have hundreds of undead knights chasing you in the underground palace?" The data terminal snorted, "Don't worry, I will pull you out when you are about to die. Now... get ready!"
