“Out of control?”
Qian Er repeated the word.
“Yes, out of control. Because the time is too long, and countries have sealed up what happened back then, I don’t know exactly what happened back then. But the result must be that those creatures lost control and became humanity's nightmare.”
As he spoke, Yu Feiyi took out a few files from his spatial backpack and placed them on the table.
“Because of the particularity of their location, so many years have passed, and there are still no photos, audio, video, or anything like that circulating. All there are, are these written records. Of course, in fact, the role of these written records is not great. You only need to remember that after you get there, you can’t trust anyone.”
Picking up the files on the table and examining them carefully, Qian Er discovered that the things recorded inside were quite limited. It only wrote a few things to pay attention to and explained why only a quasi-King level Beastmaster could enter that place, and not a True King.
Because that kind of creature becomes stronger when facing the strong. If a True King goes in, they will also face a True King. And when True Kings fight, the commotion is too great. Often, as soon as they start fighting, they easily attract other Nightmares around, and then a lot of unfavorable situations will arise.
And if the level is lower than quasi-King, the beasts don't have the ability to break free from their shackles, and in that place, they will get deeper and deeper, and eventually never come out again.
So, after countless human tests, it was finally determined that quasi-King is the most suitable strength to enter that place.
As for the things to pay attention to, this is a bit intriguing.
【Note 1: After you see this piece of paper, anyone who has left your sight cannot be trusted. The only thing you can trust is your beast, the beast that has a Beastmaster contract with you. When you finish reading this, you need to immediately make a code with your beast that only you know. Before that, make sure it is your beast.】
【Note 2: You need to keep a tight grip on the release device in your hand at all times. Once you hold it, you cannot let go. No matter what you feel in your hand, you cannot let go. They can affect your perception, but they cannot affect your body. Remember, everything you see is fake. The only creature you can trust is your beast, and the only item you can trust is your release device.】
The few files were densely filled with illogical words. Qian Er frowned and flipped through them for a long time before he saw two complete pieces of information. He looked up at Yu Feiyi, puzzled.
After reading the first note, he had been watching Yu Feiyi out of the corner of his eye, making sure Yu Feiyi would not disappear from his sight.
“Only two?”
After flipping through it carefully again and confirming that there were no other notes, Qian Er put down the file and asked, puzzled.
“Yes, only two. This is the release device. You have to make sure this thing doesn't leave your hand. After you have solved three monsters, put your finger in the groove together, and then you will wake up. At the same time, you will forget everything that happened before. From then on, you don't have to worry about things there.”
Yu Feiyi smiled tiredly. Qian Er doesn't need to care, because he won't remember those things in the future. If he doesn't come into contact with them, he won't encounter them. And he couldn't remember them in the first place, but this time, in order to send information to Qian Er, he took the initiative to come into contact with the information about that thing. In other words, he has to go there too.
“What exactly is that?”
So many vague terms completely alerted Qian Er. What kind of thing did humans create back then?
“Nightmares. Their behavior is very similar to the Nightmares that appear in dreams, so they are named as such. You will encounter them in a dream, but it is in a crack between a dream and reality. To this day, no human has ever found their traces under normal circumstances, and no beast that can enter dreams has found their traces.”
“Then how am I supposed to find them? Also, how am I supposed to confirm that I have entered that place?”
Qian Er's brow furrowed deeper and deeper. What did humans create back then?
“Don't worry, you will go there after you fall asleep, because you already know their existence. As long as you know them, you will definitely see them. This is a characteristic that humans set for these monsters in order to allow them to spread, called memetic contamination.”
“Of course, you may not remember that you have fallen asleep, so it says above that you can't let anyone leave your sight. They also have some ability to modify cognition.”
This time, Qian Er couldn't hold it in anymore.
“So you guys created such a thing to hit yourselves? By the way, how did you guys suppress this thing? I really didn't hear any news about it before.”
“Don't say it as if only our Yan Country participated in the experiment to create that thing. When that thing was created, the Human Federation was still around. All the human high-level officials agreed to the creation of that thing, but later the Human Federation was gone. The time and the creation of that thing were not much different. I feel like there might be some connection.”
“As for how humans controlled that thing, of course, it was with a stupid method, a super-large cognitive modification that covered all humans, deleting all human knowledge about that thing. No one will remember unless it is actively mentioned. In addition, every quasi-King will actively enter it to kill a Nightmare to control their numbers.”
“Only go in once? Why doesn't one person go in a few more times?”
Although he knew that other quasi-Kings only needed to kill one Nightmare, but he needed to kill three, Qian Er didn't have any dissatisfaction. After all, this was agreed upon long ago. What he was curious about was why one person was like a one-time product, and didn't need to go in again after going in once.
Hearing this, Yu Feiyi, who was lying back on the sofa, let out a dry laugh.
“Hehe... You will understand after you truly face them. No one wants to face those Nightmares a second time.”
He was the same, but there was no way.
“Okay, do you have a guest room here? Lend it to me for one night. Now I also remember the situation of those things. I have been contaminated. As long as I sleep, I will definitely meet them. So I won't go out, I'll just make do with it here for one night. In order to distinguish between reality and dreams, let's make a code. If you can't answer the code, you're fake.”
After thinking of a code that had no logic, Qian Er and Yu Feiyi returned to their respective bedrooms to sleep.
After receiving the news that Qian Er had advanced to quasi-King, Yu Feiyi traveled all the way at top speed. He was ambushed by a fleeing alien True King in the middle of the journey. He was so tired that he could barely open his eyes. However, in order to prevent himself from entering the dream world without delivering the message, he kept holding on until Qian Er came back.
Now that he had seen Qian Er, the breath he was holding on to dissipated. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep.
On the other side, Qian Er lay on the bed, feeling restless and unable to fall asleep. He could only open his eyes in frustration.
But the moment he opened his eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
