Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chen Yan entered the dream world belonging to Titanius through synesthesia, and used lucid dreaming to keep himself awake in the dream world.

Chen Yan once thought about it, what is a dream?

According to his former world view, dreams are disordered brain wave pulses generated by the brain during sleep and semi-sleep. When these brain wave pulses pass through somewhere in the brain and recall some disordered memories, these scattered and fragmented memory fragments constitutes the dream itself.

With the update of the world view and the expansion of his horizons, Chen Yan gained a new understanding of the dream world——

'I live in an idealistic world born from [Eternal Death]. Everything in this world is itself a product based on biological brain waves.

The so-called "Deeper World" is actually not accurate. A more accurate term should be "Worlds of Other Dimensions" - based on everything that happened in my lucid dream world, the worlds of other dimensions are obviously located in the same in the level.

[Worlds in other dimensions] are generated by the strong brain waves of [Eternal Death] - it can even be said to be [passive waking consciousness]. Everything is clear and it is a complete world.

[Dreams] are generated by the weak brain waves of creatures in [Worlds of Other Dimensions]. Everything is blurry. Only by reconstructing it through [Lucid Dreaming] can the truth of [Dreams] be seen. '

Chen Yan tries to reason through his accumulated knowledge to obtain the truth about certain properties of the world.

'If we regard countless [worlds in other dimensions] as the first level of [eternal death] biological brainwave creation.

Then, the world composed of the weak brain waves generated by the creatures in these worlds - [Dreamland] is the second level of the world.

Whether it is the biological brain wave product of [Eternal Death] (everything in Chen Yan’s current world), or the [Dreams] produced by the creatures in my current world, they are actually dreams——

The former is the dream of [Eternal Death], because [Eternal Death] has fallen into a long sleep, and its mental activities can be completely defined as [Dream];

The latter is the mental activity of the biological brainwave products of "Eternal Death", which is the "dream" of me and others.

——In any case, any form of [dream] is the biological brainwave creation of [eternal death].

Then, the problem arises.

As a creature of [Eternal Death] bio-waves, I can descend into the real world through lucid dreams.

However, the desire to have an entity in the real world cannot come to the biowave world of [eternal death] through lucid dreaming.

This shows that the two worlds are not each other's dreams - more accurately, the desire to have an entity in the real world can no longer actively use the biological brain waves of "Eternal Death" through "Lucid Dreaming".

It also shows that the bio-waves of [immortal death] will have strong interference in the real world, so strong that the bio-wave creation - me, can descend into the real world in the form of [projection].

In the same way, as [Eternal Death] with 'strong brainwaves', I can use the means of 'lucid dreaming' to descend into the dreamland of Tidanios with 'weak brainwaves' in the form of [projection].

——There is a difference in brain wave intensity between the former and the latter processes. This [difference] may form the energy that supports my arrival [projection].

Just like the difference in atmospheric pressure creates a temperature difference, which creates a flow of energy...'

In front of Chen Yan was the opportunity to verify his conjecture——

'If I just project, theoretically I can throw myself anywhere - as long as there are coordinates - just like I used lucid dreaming to throw myself next to my wish. '

Thinking of this, Chen Yan began to try to strengthen his thoughts through lucid dreams——

'I want to go to the starting point of the mutation. '

After a while.

Nothing happened.

'Hmm...the coordinates are wrong. '

He thought again:

'Perhaps it's not that the coordinates are wrong, but that what I exist now is Tidanius' dream, which is a reconstruction of his memory. There may not necessarily be the starting point of the mutation in his memory. '

Chen Yan was not upset at all and kept thinking calmly.

'That's not right either.

One of the advantages of lucid dreaming is that it can construct a complete dream world. Both I and Miao Shuisheng have verified this.

Judging from all the phenomena I have encountered so far, what lucid dreams recall is not the memory of the [dreamer] itself, but the memory stored in the [eternal death] memory reserve material carrier by the [dreamer].

So, what went wrong?

Maybe there's something wrong with my goals...

I guess so. The simple [starting point of the mutation] is too general to be used as a coordinate. '

In order to verify his conjecture, Chen Yan continued to try:

'I want to go to the beginning time of the mutation in Tidanios, in a certain generation and a certain land. '

Nothing happened.

'I want to go to the three-dimensional location of the person who caused the mutation in Tidanius. '

Nothing happened.

'I want to go to the time when Tidanius became a monster, the moment when the first cell in the body mutated, and the place where the cause of the first cell mutation occurred. '

Still nothing happened.

Chen Yan looked at the little white tiger that fell on the ground after eating too much mutated wolf meat, and fell into deep thought.

'What went wrong... It shouldn't have gone wrong...'

Chen Yan decided to stay with Titanius for a while and observe.

Tidanius, who had fainted due to eating too much bad meat, woke up before nightfall. It was only evening, and a layer of white frost had already condensed on the ground. Although there was no snowfall, the air was already extremely cold.

The little Titanius was hungry again. He walked around in front of the corrupted wolf meat, and finally decided not to take a bite.

It returned to its nest, which was an ice cave sealed deep in the mountains. It was at least two kilometers away from the surface. It was surrounded by granite on all sides. There was a faint smell of anxiety from the rock crevices below. It was obviously some kind of living thing. volcano.

The ice cave has existed for a long time, and the traces were only broken open recently. It obviously woke up from the ice again after the whole world warmed up.

'This may also be a way for creatures like Tidanios to survive the end. '

Chen Yan couldn't tell for sure.

Perhaps because he wanted to resist the side effects of corrupted wolf meat, Tidanios slept for a whole day before waking up dizzy under the attack of hunger.

It was very thin and very hungry. It staggered away from the mountains and wandered around in the forest. It was too hungry to catch even a gopher.

It fainted from hunger in the forest.

Chen Yan stood beside it, waiting silently.

'Since the memory has been passed down, it should not become extinct at this time. '

Another day and night passed, and suddenly there was a sound outside the woodland - a man dressed as a hunter carried two wolves into the edge of the woodland, and found Tidanios after a short search.

When the hunter approached, Chen Yan's eyes became slightly stiff.

This hunter is the Chen Yan of this generation.

When hunter Chen Yan saw Tidanios, his eyes suddenly became alert. Chen Yan learned his inner thoughts through synaesthesia:

'What's going on with this tiger? Could it be that he was infected and turned into a monster...'

Infect? What? Virus? still?

'Anyway, it will sell for a good price. '

Hunter Chen Yan hesitated for a long time before tying Tidanius's limbs, muzzling him, carrying him on his shoulders, and went down the mountain.

Chen Yan followed closely behind.

Hunter Chen Yan lives in a large wooden house on the edge of the village. The wooden house is obviously old because it has been expanded many times and has now reached a considerable size.

Hunter Chen Yan came to the stable next to the big wooden house, found some wires, and used the wires to hang Tidanius and the two wolves in the stable before going inside.

He knocked on the door, and a familiar face opened the door.

It's a white snake.

Chen Yan, who was transformed into a white snake, had black hair and black eyes in this life, and her appearance was slightly rough. The outline was very similar to that of the later generations, but her appearance was very different from that of the later generations. The moment she opened the door, Chen Yan obviously saw Chen Yan behind the hunter Chen Yan - her eyes stiffened for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.

"The rice is cooked." She said this simply.

Hunter Chen Yan was talking about today's harvest while wondering why she was so silent today.

When the food was served, his overwhelming hunger eliminated all his words and doubts.

Chen Yan and hunter Chen Yan sat on both sides of the table. Chen Yan sat opposite her, staring at her eyes all the time, trying to read something from her eyes.

'In the brain wave world of [Eternal Death], she obviously has very high authority - at this moment, even if she only exists in a dream, she can also see the brain waves coming to this [lucid dream world] in me.

In fact, from the perspective of "all things are formed by the brain wave pulses of eternal death", this "lucid dream world" is actually not entirely the attribute of "dream", but is equivalent to some kind of "my current world" parallel world.

If you understand it this way, it's not too outrageous for her to see me. '

Chen Yan suddenly thought of a possibility.

'Thinking about it this way, did I come not just to the [Lucid Dream World], but also to the [Real Dimension] where all this happened - because, for [Eternal Death], any dimension, and what happened in this dimension The boundaries of dreams are actually very blurry - they are essentially brain waves of [eternal death], the difference is only in their strength. '

Hunter Chen Yan finished a meal high in sugar, fat, protein and carbohydrates, and soon chose to sleep due to insufficient blood supply to the brain.

Only White Snake and Chen Yan were left in the living room of the big wooden house.

They sat opposite each other in front of the heavy wooden dining table that had been patinated but cleaned very well. The heavy snow that fell after nightfall added a bit of warmth and tranquility to the dim light in the wooden house. The fragrance of the old wood in the wooden house seemed to make time pass. Also slowed down.

The water on the charcoal stove was boiling. Chen Yan stood up and grabbed the handle of the kettle wrapped with flat vines. She picked up the iron kettle that was already a little bumpy. She took the upside-down bamboo cup on the homemade wooden tea tray on the table and poured it for Chen Yan. Got a glass of water.

She did not hand it to Chen Yan, but placed it directly in front of Chen Yan - she obviously knew that the Chen Yan who came here was a projection, not an entity.

She also poured herself a glass, held it in her hands, and sat down opposite Chen Yan.

"How are you doing now?" She finally couldn't help but break the silence.

Chen Yan did not answer her question directly, but wanted to confirm one of his past speculations: "When did the White Snake ask me?"

Chen Yan did not answer his question, but looked down at the water in the bamboo cup and whispered: "You already know my identity, which means everything has been carried out to the last minute."

She didn't answer directly, but her identity was indirectly revealed between the lines - she was the White Snake in a certain dimension.

Chen Yan had been looking forward to a positive conversation with Chen Yan, who "no longer pretends to be confused" - the real White Snake. Now that he suddenly had such an opportunity, he suddenly felt that his thinking was disordered and there were too many things to ask. I didn't know how to speak for a moment.

He decided to follow his own heart.

"It's pretty bad over there."

Chen Yan's smile was slightly bitter, because he really regarded everything he had experienced in this life as his real life.

"The apocalypse is coming, and no one can withstand it. A tsunami almost completely destroyed human civilization. I reluctantly let the remaining humans settle down. Everyone sat together and tried to find a way out."

The White Snake across the table listened to these words and opened his eyes wide as if he thought it was incredible:

"you?"

Just you?

Chen Yan did not accumulate anger because of this seemingly sarcastic question, because he knew that White Snake obviously had other intentions.

He tried:

"Have I never done this before?"

White Snake nodded calmly this time:

"Yes, as far as this world is concerned, you are just a passerby, and it is difficult to truly participate in the process of the world."

Chen Yan asked:

"Why am I a passer-by? Because I am incomplete? What does your god want to do? Did he ever know me? Who did he once know me?"

Facing his barrage of questions, White Snake already maintained a very calm attitude and said:

"I do not know."

She actually said she didn't know? !

In shock, Synaesthesia told Chen Yan that White Snake really didn't know.

Chen Yan felt a little suffocated. Even White Snake didn't know the truth of this matter, which meant that the only one who knew the truth might really be the damn "Creation God"!

Synaesthesia and everything he learned in the past also told Chen Yan that White Snake did not lie, because in a sense, White Snake and his interests were consistent - only he, a disabled person, was "completed", and White Snake was Only "guides", "monitors" and "companions" can achieve liberation.

White Snake held the bamboo cup and spoke vaguely. She seemed to be unable to speak clearly because she was following some special rules:

"You have to walk your own way. I can only guide and adjust the variables of this world. In fact, I am also one of the variables. The variables I represent are closest to you. The basic functions of this world connect you and me. Generations have been entangled together, even if the variables in this world have reached the order of magnitude of the real world, I will eventually come to you because of my entanglement with you - a function of deep correlation."

Chen Yan understood, so he was even more confused:

"What the hell are you?"

White Snake stared at him for a moment before deciding to tell the truth:

"I am the representative symbol of a specific thing you own in the spiritual world."

Such an abstract concept again.

Abstract concepts usually represent multiple concrete understandings, and multiple concrete understandings mean that questions remain unanswered. Chen Yan was simply fed up with this statement.

Unlike before, Chen Yan now no longer suffers from emotional disorder due to such a predicament.

He even remained calm:

"What happened to your generation?"

White Snake actually knew everything this time:

"A thorn has invaded the peripheral embedded server of [Eternal Death] and entered a certain program into the server... It is not yet known whether it is a virus, but [Eternal Death] is very compatible, even if it is a virus, It can also be compatible as part of this world.”

Chen Yan's tone was questioning:

"At the expense of Tidanius."

White Snake frowned:

"Your inexplicable sense of justice is really incomprehensible. What does the life and death of an animal have to do with you?"

She was still unclear:

"Perhaps it was because of Zhong's inexplicable sense of justice that what happened later happened... In any case, the world will change because of you."

She simply said to Chen Yan:

"The thorny head forcibly uploaded himself to the server, which caused some unknown effects on the server. He became a variable in this world... He didn't do anything to him. There was one more variable in this world, and for him it was Good things make the world more real."

"It is also because of this variable that some changes have occurred in this world, mainly reflected in the animals - he seems to want to inject something into the animals' programs to make them become what he wants... maybe There is a deeper purpose, I don’t know..."

Chen Yan thought about the causes and consequences and blurted out:

"That prickly guy's name is William Mast?"

White Snake really looked at him:

"It seems you have gone further than I thought. What else do you know?"

Chen Yan also imitated her way of speaking:

"You'll find out later."

White Snake snorted:

“Looking like [childishness] is not your variable, it’s one of your constants.”

Chen Yan finally understood everything:

What caused the change in Tidanios was the incident of "The Director was uploaded to this world". After this incident, many strange beings appeared in the world, which may be the origin of demi-humans...

White Snake said again:

"You can stay and see what happens tomorrow. According to function calculations, tomorrow may be a very important node. Tidanios will transform because of you... mainly because of you."

When Chen Yan heard this, his head clicked——

No wonder I can't go to [the three-dimensional location of the person who caused the mutation in Titanius] through fresh dreams. It turns out that the person who caused the mutation in Titanius was myself - I'm already here!
