Chapter 121
At the last moment when the dream was shattered, the high-level nightmare used up its remaining strength to hold Wen Zheng tightly, not giving him a chance to return to the real world. The void after the dream was shattered is where the nightmare really lives, and no human soul has ever been able to come here.
Wen Zheng didn't know the consequences of being out of the body for a long time, but now he knew whether the human soul could survive in the cracks of the void.
Being forcibly drawn into the void by the nightmare, all kinds of manic energy turbulence hit Wen Zheng's soul. The condensed soul body became much looser after the first wave of impact. Wen Zheng had no time to think about the intense pain he was enduring. The thought of wanting to survive the impact made him pull back the nightmare that was still wrapping around him, and madly absorbed the power of the nightmare.
Since the soul can't withstand the strong impact of the void turbulence, and can't escape from this place for the time being, then find a way to increase the strength of the soul. The high-level nightmare next to you is the best choice. Facing the crisis of death, humans often break through their own limits. Wen Zheng's willpower and potential increase the possibility of this phenomenon.
The advanced nightmare was severely injured by Wen Zheng in the dream world. Not only did the plan to devour Wen Zheng's soul in the void fail, but the power was absorbed by Wen Zheng who was forced into a desperate situation. The power in the body was swept into Wen Zheng's soul like a strong wind, and the advanced nightmare did not have time to roar in grief and anger before it completely dissipated.
[Hidden task-solving advanced nightmare has been completed, and 30,000 points are rewarded. ]
No matter what kind of environment it is in, the system panel will not be affected in any way, and it appears in front of Wen Zheng with a reminder of the completion of the task.
Wen Zheng, who was tortured by severe pain, did not open his eyes at all, and did not see the prompt of the system panel. The absorbed energy kept running in the soul according to the trajectory of the cultivation method, and the part that was dispersed by the turbulent flow of the void was condensed again.
The whole process was repeated continuously, but the turbulence in the void was always generated, and the power in Wen Zheng's soul always had a moment of exhaustion.
The power absorbed from the high-level nightmares was about to be consumed, but there was always a way out. Without the energy suppression of the high-level nightmares, Wen Zheng was still a human soul. For nightmares, it was a fragrant and rich delicacy. Countless nightmares of high or low levels came to smell the smell.
These nightmares did not know that the identities of prey and hunter could often be switched. By the time they realized this, it was over.
Wen Zheng, who was lacking energy, did not care what energy he absorbed. Any nightmare that approached was absorbed before it could attack Wen Zheng.
The intelligence of low-level nightmares was not high. The nightmares floating around in the void did not notice the crisis and took the initiative to send food to Wen Zheng's position. The nightmares with a slightly higher level of intelligence could barely feel that something was wrong and avoided it from a distance, but they could not stop the low-level nightmares from floating over.
Wen Zheng, who had lost his self-awareness, relied on his instinct to survive and absorbed all the nightmares no matter how many came. The power of nightmare is repairing Wen Zheng's soul while transforming his soul. When the power from nightmare in Wen Zheng's soul reaches a certain value, the attraction to nightmare is gradually disappearing.
Not enough, still not enough.
The absorbed power gradually decreases. Wen Zheng, who acts on instinct, changes from passive to active. He was originally waiting for nightmare to come to him, but now he begins to float in the void to find nightmare to devour.
The way Wen Zheng moves in the void is more and more similar to nightmare. From being fixed in one place and bearing attacks from the surroundings, to now floating everywhere looking for nightmare, from being regarded as delicious food by nightmare at the beginning, to avoiding nightmare before approaching it, the power of Wen Zheng's soul keeps growing in this process.
Wen Zheng, who has lost consciousness, cannot perceive this change. While madly absorbing the power of nightmare, he has no time to expel the dark energy. When he first absorbed it, there was still stored warm energy to dissolve it, but that little warm power was too little. The accumulated dark power transmitted those negative emotions, and Wen Zheng had no choice but to accept it.
In this strange void, Wen Zheng, who received a lot of negative emotions, completely lost his self-awareness and kept experiencing various nightmares. His only thought was to try to survive in these nightmares.
The nightmare seemed to have no end. Just after experiencing one, he would face the next one. Wen Zheng mechanically dealt with these nightmares, and the fatigue in his consciousness gradually accumulated. After a long time, he almost forgot who he was, or he was also a nightmare existing in the void.
In fact, the power of nightmare can not only assimilate the existence form of Wen Zheng's soul, but also assimilate Wen Zheng's consciousness. If it continues like this, Wen Zheng will lose his self-awareness and turn into a real nightmare.
At that time, it will no longer be Wen Zheng.
The mission issued by the disaster survival game has failed.
Wen Zheng's soul has changed from a little warm color to the black of nightmare. The power connected to the real world is gradually weakening. Now it is almost completely broken, until the stars of light float in from the real world along this weak connection and merge into Wen Zheng's soul.
At first, there were only a few tiny dots of light, and then the number of these dots of light increased and condensed into rays of light, thickening the connection between Wen Zheng and the real world, and then helping Wen Zheng dissipate those dark energies. These warm rays of light contained the most sincere blessings for Wen Zheng, crossing the barriers of the two spaces and coming to Wen Zheng's side.
Wen Zheng initially felt that it made him more painful. When the light eliminated the darkness in his soul, each time it was eliminated, it was like rubbing the festering wounds on his body. He could only grit his teeth and endure it. It was more painful than the energy turbulence he was used to.
This process lasted for a long time, and Wen Zheng's muddled consciousness slowly woke up. Seeing in the soul state does not require eyes. Wen Zheng did not even open his eyes, and the 360-degree scene around him appeared in his mind.
He saw his entire soul and the void he was in now.
It was really a fresh and wonderful experience.
The appearance of the soul was not based on the body used by Wen Zheng. The condensed appearance was based on Wen Zheng's deepest consciousness, using Wen Zheng's own appearance. It should have been a transparent energy body, but most of its parts were eroded by nightmares and turned into a dark patch. The light spots that did not come from the real world were diligently helping to remove the black from Wen Zheng's soul.
Endless turbulence was floating in the void, similar to the energy composition of nightmares, and could pass through nightmares without causing harm. This was more like the case for Wen Zheng, who was now almost a nightmare physique. If Wen Zheng were to describe it, the feeling of turbulence passing through the soul is like a cool breeze, blowing from the surface of the body into the body and then out again, always feeling cool.
Looking into the farther void, there are countless floating translucent dark light balls generated in the void, and many nightmares are surrounding them. Occasionally, images of humans appearing flash on them.
Wen Zheng wanted to control his soul to fly over, but he had just woken up and had not mastered the skills. He tried several times before slowly moving to the side. While trying to move, Wen Zheng found that wherever he went, the nightmares living in the void would quickly avoid him. Recalling the many experiences of dealing with nightmares, he felt a kind of happiness of relieving hatred.
After the distance was shortened, Wen Zheng was more certain that these light balls were actually nightmares formed by humans and the staple food of nightmares in the void.
Then how do these nightmares pull human souls into nightmares and devour them?
The answer to this question must be found in the void. Wen Zheng first chased the nightmares in the void for a few times. After venting some of his dissatisfaction, he found that some nightmares were moving in one direction, and the void in that place broke a huge crack. The part of the crack was the real world.
When Wen Zheng rushed to the crack, a nightmare had already grabbed a human soul from the crack and entered the dream. After feeling the breath coming from Wen Zheng, he immediately left in fear and contributed the delicacy he had just captured to a more powerful existence.
After thinking seriously for two seconds, Wen Zheng did not send the soul of this person directly back to reality, but entered the nightmare world constructed by the nightmare. The human being who was pulled into the dream did not regain consciousness. Wen Zheng had control over the dream and directly transformed this nightmare into a beautiful dream. The sleeper continuously emitted warm light spots in the dream.
It seems that this method is feasible.
After letting the sleeper play happily in the dream for two days, Wen Zheng sent the person out of the dream and tried to follow him out of the void. However, as soon as he reached the barrier between the two spaces, he felt the rejection from the real world.
He could send the person who was pulled into the dream back to sleep, but he himself could not return to the real world for the time being.
Thinking about it, it can also be explained that the power of nightmares is suppressed in the real world, and the high-level nightmares appear in the real world by borrowing Xi Yuanfan's body. Wen Zheng absorbed many nightmares. Even if there is no clear criterion for judgment, Wen Zheng can be sure that his current power is much stronger than that high-level nightmare, so it is natural to be rejected. This is the protection mechanism of the real world. If there is no such obstacle, all nightmares in the void will appear in reality without hindrance, then humans may not last until today.
Wen Zheng began to look for cracks in the void. At first, he stayed in the dream until he sent the sleeper back. Later, he found that he would keep contact with the transformed dream, so Wen Zheng changed his method. After a nightmare is transformed into a beautiful dream, Wen Zheng will leave the dream to find the next crack. When the time is almost up, he will close the previous beautiful dream according to the connection and automatically return to the real world.

Life in the void is not boring. Wen Zheng can come into contact with various dreams, whether it is a nightmare or a beautiful dream. By chance, Wen Zheng would even meet people he had known before, as well as people he didn't know but who were praying for him. Just like the emotions conveyed in the blessing paper that Wen Zheng distributed, when Wen Zheng was about to get lost, he received the warm light from them, which helped him out of that dangerous situation.
When people in the above two situations are pulled into nightmares, Wen Zheng tries to wake them up in the transformed beautiful dreams. In the eyes of the other party, he does not explain too much, but asks about what happened in the real world. When sending people back from the dream, quietly erase the content about Wen Zheng, and when the sleeper wakes up, he will only have vague memories and barely remember that he had a beautiful dream.
Once, he even encountered Jian Yanjun who was pulled into a nightmare. He has been worried and guilty about Wen Zheng until now. The nightmare he encountered was the scene of Wen Zheng's death. Jian Yanjun tried desperately to save him in the dream until Wen Zheng appeared and eliminated the nightmare. As the awakener, Jian Yanjun did not need Wen Zheng to wake him up, and he regained his independent consciousness, but after seeing Wen Zheng, he thought it was constructed by his subconscious.
Wen Zheng spent a lot of time to make Jian Yanjun believe, and spent a lot of effort to avoid his current state and ask more real situations that ordinary people could not understand.
This time, he finally asked the right person. Jian Yanjun was both an awakener and a member of the Yunting City Research Institute. His family members held many important positions in the government. What he knew could fully answer all of Wen Zheng's questions.
On the day when the divine messenger controlled by the high-level nightmare was solved by Wen Zheng, the members of the entire Night God Cult suffered heavy casualties in the chaos. Later, they were sent to the hospital for treatment by the army. Without the divine messenger as a backup, they faced the inquiries of the government dispatched personnel. Naturally, these people explained all the situations in detail.
The government also found the father and son of the Li family who used to live next door to Wen Zheng among the arrested members of the Night God Cult. The father and son were not seriously injured. In the process of accepting the government's inquiries, they took the initiative to report that they were the first batch of members to join the Night God Cult. According to the time, when they joined the Night God Cult, they were still neighbors of Wen Zheng, and Wen Zheng did not enter the research institute.
Chu Changcun reported all the situations except Wen Zheng's injuries through a video conference, not only keeping the credit for this time, but also keeping the subsequent interrogation of the members of the Night God Cult firmly in his hands. The people he sent out notified him immediately after they found the father and son of the Li family. Chu Changcun's faction did not believe the speculation that Wen Zheng joined the Night God Cult. At that time, they thought that the key to prove Wen Zheng's innocence was the father and son of the Li family, but they could not find the father and son hiding in the headquarters of the Night God Cult.
So after receiving the message from his subordinates, Chu Changcun directed his subordinates to conduct inquiries through remote video and simultaneously broadcast it to those who had previously suspected.
Facing the picture of the pendant taken out by the interrogator, Li Qi, who had matured a lot in the past two years, carefully identified it, and then pointed to a few not so obvious scratches on the pendant and said: "This is the pendant that my father asked for my mother at the beginning, no, it was obtained, because the Night God did not bless my mother to wake up, so I scratched it with a stone and finally threw the pendant out."
Li Qi is a child no matter what. Even if he vented his anger and destroyed it because he complained that the pendant was useless, in the end, only a few not obvious scratches were left on the pendant.
The person in charge of the inquiry continued to conduct more detailed inquiries according to Chu Changcun's initial instructions: "Where did you throw the pendant at that time?"
Li Qi's eyes revealed a little confusion. He frowned and thought for a while before speaking: "I just threw it over the wall. It should be in the yard of Uncle Wen's house next door."
Misunderstanding resolved.
Jian Yanjun felt guilty and angry when he told this story. He heard people say that Wen Zheng was a senior figure in the Night God Sect. Even if he didn't want to believe that Wen Zheng was such a person, he was still affected and had doubts. But in fact, the most direct evidence was a misunderstanding made by a child from beginning to end. Such evidence made Wen Zheng closely monitored and later chased. How could he not be angry?
Wen Zheng recalled the bits and pieces of the past. At that time, the useless gods in Li Qi's mouth should be the Night God Sect at that time. At that time, he just thought that the father and son of the Li family were praying to the gods, but who could have expected so many things to happen later.
After talking about the father and son of the Li family, Jian Yanjun began to talk about the situation of the Night God Sect.
More members of the Night God Cult were interrogated and revealed more information about the Night God Cult's bases. The government sent people to search and seal off various places. Among them, there was an extremely secret place, located in a crack in the mountain, where you can go down to an underground cave. There are unfinished statues and murals in this cave. If they are finally made into a complete version, it will be exactly the same as what Wen Zheng had seen in his dream.
It is a historical relic that the Night God Cult is in the process of forging.
Xi Yuanfan, the god envoy chosen by the nightmare, was an artist who studied murals and sculptures before the disaster. The works in this cave are completely consistent with the style of his previous works. When Wen Zheng depicted the statues and murals he saw in the dream on paper, it looked a little awkward because some parts used modern techniques. However, Xi Yuanfan concealed it when he created it, and what Wen Zheng saw in the dream was even more old-fashioned by the nightmare, so it was even more difficult to find when depicted on paper.
"This dream was also one of the reasons why they suspected you. As a result, both the pendant and the dream can explain it clearly, and your suspicion has been completely cleared. You are also the biggest contributor to the elimination of the Night God Cult this time. After the meeting, they decided that not only should you be cleared of your grievances, but your achievements should also not be buried. Therefore, in the news broadcast about the elimination of the Night God Cult, your contributions were highlighted."
The dream world constructed the courtyard of the research institute that both of them were familiar with. Jian Yanjun sat next to Wen Zheng. When he talked about this, he also looked at Wen Zheng's expression, worried that he would be disgusted with this kind of operation.
Wen Zheng's expression changed rapidly several times, and finally stayed on his smile. Now he knew how those light spots came from when he was most dangerous, and this move accidentally saved his life.
"By the way, where am I now?" After having asked everything clearly about the situation that he originally wanted to ask, and just as he was about to send Jian Yanjun off, Wen Zheng realized that there was an important question that he had not asked.
"Aren't you trapped in a dream now?" Jian Yanjun didn't react at first. After he finished speaking, he realized that Wen Zheng was referring to his body, and quickly replied, "Just put it in your room in the research institute." , everyone takes good care of you, but your muscles will inevitably lose some weight, and they will come back after you wake up and practice.”
"Director Jiang also comes to your room to chat with you every once in a while. Now more and more people are awakening on their own. Although some dreams cannot be remembered clearly, they all have the talent of awakeners. Of course, No one can compare to you in terms of talent. It’s normal to make mistakes occasionally. This time I wake you up from your dream and you will be there forever.”
Jian Yanjun was smiling at the end. He mistakenly thought that he had found Wen Zheng who was trapped in the dream, but he didn't know that he was the only one who could go back this time.
"It's time for you to wake up." Wen Zheng smiled and pushed Jian Yanjun out of his dream, without forgetting to blur his memory.
The news obtained from Jian Yanjun's mouth confirmed that Wen Zheng's attempt was successful. When Wen Zheng transformed the dream, it strengthened the subconscious of the sleeper, so that they would wake up independently when they were pulled into a dream in the future, without the need to smell. He can escape with Zheng's help. Just like the awakeners Wen Zheng had taught before, they were even more efficient, which could be regarded as reducing Wen Zheng's workload.
But this is a method that treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. As long as the cracks in the void are still there, even if Wen Zheng runs around in the void without stopping, some sleepers will still be swallowed up by nightmares without having time to wait for Wen Zheng.
To completely solve the disaster, we need to start from the root cause.
Before the cracks appeared, the nightmares in the void were almost unable to contact human souls. They could be satisfied by feeding on nightmares. Although humans and nightmares were related, they lived peacefully in their own worlds. From this perspective, only by completely separating nightmares and humans into two worlds can this infinite nightmare disaster end.
Wen Zheng was running around in the void, waiting for the mission time to end, and studying how to block the cracks in the void.
【Welcome to the infinite disaster survival game!
The main mission - Survive in the infinite nightmare for three years has been completed, and the reward points are 15,000 points.
Did the player leave the game? 】
After Wen Zheng saw the pop-up system panel, he determined that the survival standards determined by the game were different. Now that his soul left his body and existed in the void world in a form similar to the energy properties of nightmares but opposite, he was still determined to be alive by the game. .
In this case, he should try to solve this disaster before leaving this world. During this period of time in the void, I swallowed a lot of nightmares, saved a lot of people, and earned enough points to purchase a registration item in the system store.
There is no difference between day and night in the void world. Only when Wen Zheng saw the time on the system panel did he realize that he had been here for half a year. In the past six months, the originally colorless and transparent soul was first dyed black by nightmares, and then dyed white by positive human emotions. Give these powers back to them before going back.
Wen Zheng stood in the void, and the white power contained in his soul left his body under his control. He reluctantly walked around Wen Zheng for a few times, and then at the urging of his master, he flew to the crack in the void as a backup. The gaps were sewn up to look intact.
The energy gradually left the soul to repair the cracks. The remaining reluctance and resistance could once again withstand the turbulent flow that damaged Wen Zheng's soul. Wen Zheng silently calculated the time, and the moment he said "leave the game" to the game system, he transferred his soul to the game system. All the remaining energy in the body was released.
The moment Wen Zheng left this world, his connection with the real world in the infinite nightmare was completely disconnected. The body lying in the research institute finally stopped breathing.
Countless people rushed to Wen Zheng's room after hearing the siren, silently with red eyes.
