If you ask Wu Jian, he wasnt actually that interested in joining the conspiracists.
Hes quite passive in personality. So about all that truth behind the scenes stuff, or the real culprit of their suffering, whatever, like, its good to know;
But even if he cant, life still goes on. Hes happy to just scrape by.
Even when hes inducted, his rather brusque and careless personality would show up in the organisation quite often.
It was really dumb luck in the beginning that he was inducted at all.
In a past Nightmare, he happened to et the founder of that organisation Or rather, it was more because of that Nightmare, that the Missiontaker chose to found an organisation, to look for information related to the truth.
So all the other Missiontakers inside that Nightmare, for the sake of maintaining secrecy, were half forced into the newborn organisation at the coercion of the founding Missiontaker.
This ans Wu Jian is actually a founding mber of the organisation because of that.
Not that hes that interested in his role, especially when all he wants to do is to go along with everything. Hes joined simply because it would have been troubleso to refuse.
In the organisation, hed often feel subtly excluded. He sees the other fellow mbers as rather unusually serious and stubborn, utilising their overly imaginative minds to conjure up all sorts of ludicrous theories.
While he Well, hes not incapable, and being in the organisation does an he has beco rather receptive to their ideas, but this also ans he ended up viewing the Tower through rather fearful, disgusted and hopeless eyes.
If anything, it didnt actually make him want to know the truth any more than he once had been.
There is anxiety, there is fear, so in turn, there cos a pushback against wanting to know the truth.
In fact, he would largely share the sa sentint as the Missiontakers outside of the organisation
that those conspiracies, really are just that. He doesnt want to accept that reality could be as grim as they make it out to be.
But nowadays, when he thinks back to that very Nightmare that got him inducted, when he thinks about how casually he went about it, it felt like fate, having already arranged everything for him, in ti.
He followed Fei and went back down to the bottom floor only for a simple, investigative mission. He and Fei were assigned, and Wu Jian was happy to deal with sothing simple.
He definitely wasnt expecting, to be involved in such convoluted affairs.
They actually stumbled upon the truth all by accident, and now, theyre even here to try and save all of humanity from the predicant.
Theyre going to be the ssiahs!
The grandeur of the whole achievent contrasts starkly against his minute, insignificant form. It makes him positively rapt with fascination both before entering this Nightmare, and now, after having recovered his mories.
He cant help but think,wish, that soone is pushing all this along;
NE, X Beijin, whoever, but to shoulder the deep burden of this ultimate quest, he would need a helping hand.
Because, what if he failed?
Can mankind really continue to endure the endless solitary confinent? Will all hopes of leaving the Tower successfully be dashed?
Its beendozensof years since they have entered the Tower in the first place.
Just thinking about that length of ti is enough to dampen Wu Jians spirits down to hell.
Hed still try to cheer himself up. He tells himself, they wont fail. They will not. They cannot.
He has companions with him, so many of them, working hard alongside him one day there will co a day when dawn breaks, wont there?
He really wants out of the Tower.
Cangcheng. Maybe it was his hotown. He thinks it is, because in that Nightmare, he felt an ungodly amount of inexplicable familiarity with the whole place.
He knows thedj vus are likely coming from what he has forgotten; from the mories of Earth that he has lost.
Forgetting. This is also what happens in X Beijins Nightmare.
Thinking about it makes Wu Jian worried and even anxious.
No one could have imagined his Nightmare to be like this. X Beijin never told them about it
Or maybe he couldnt. Anything that was too direct was likely to be stopped by NE;
Just giving them vague, incomprehensible words would have been less than helpful when it inevitably leads to them drawing the wrong conclusions.
Since X Beijins Nightmare, is truly, principally, different from all the Nightmares in the Tower!
His Nightmare is like a gargantuan, majestic platform, where they can travel into other Nightmares.
Its a common speculation that X Beijin has a unique status as a Tower resident. Theyre all curious about what his role in the Tower could be.
Even so, nobody could have expected his Nightmare to be so utterly unique, completely distinct and even directly contravening of what Missiontakers have taken for granted as the basic constitution of a Nightmare.
They are entirely unprepared.
It is really fortunate that NE seems to be on their side.
Wu Jian, feeling extrely conflicted inside, looks at the scene in front of him with a deep, piercing gaze.
This Nightmare that changed his fate, that took his future path on a wild rollercoaster ride It was in a stadium.
A large, all-purpose stadium, probably known officially as so Olympic centre or sothing like that. It was likely a landmark structure in whatever place it stood.
Though at the ti of the Nightmare, it seems to be functioning as more of a community exercise centre for the residents of the city. Every night, many people would gather here to jog or train.
The incident in this Nightmare takes place on the greenery of the grounds.
A group of people plays football there, but half of the grounds is also used for another group to performTaijithere. Its actually not that big of a deal, because the football players are actually playingfutsal, so they dont actually need the entire area of the football field.
The older aunts and uncles, here to participate in Taiji, already negotiated with the footballers in the past, and they split the grounds without a problem.
There are at most a dozen or so people who want to play football in the community anyway, and with not everyone present, the arrangent suited both groups.
So half of the field played futsal, the other half had people doing Taiji. The arrangent went on for so ti until the accident happened When was it?
Scouring his mories, Wu Jian is finding it rather difficult to recall the details of a Nightmare in the long past.
Then he rembers it.
