Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Wild Dream
How are monsters born?
Duan Mingyuan had pondered this question more than once, yet regrettably, until he gave up the industry, he had not found an answer to this question.
There were many objective factors involved. For instance, when he was in school, his daily available ti was only about two hours. School ended at half-past five in the afternoon, and he had to ensure that he was ho by eight o'clock, buying so food on the way, and then completing the howork assigned by his teachers.
As he said himself, there were many things in this world far more terrifying than the existence of monsters, not turning in howork being one of them.
The strict headteacher limited his performance.
But now, the arrival of Fu Ling offered him a new perspective.
If, the sanitation workers and the band's drumr's comas were directly related to the dissipation of the monsters, it would an that the birth of monsters was not an independent entity but rather an anomaly bred by humans.
If we were to understand it in simpler terms...
"The sanitation worker and the drumr were actually proxy ssengers."
The death of the "proxy" caused their real bodies to fall into comas, turning them into vegetative states.
Once said, the living room fell into complete silence. Everyone looked at Duan Mingyuan with eyes full of shock, especially Jiuyue, who really hadn't expected soone as serious and earnest as Mr. Mingyuan to suddenly make a bad joke in such a situation.
How to describe it?
A straight-faced joker!
The kind of person who seems serious on the surface but would suddenly make a bad joke out of the blue!
Seeing this, Duan Mingyuan patiently explained, "This is a concept from a comic book I was very fond of in high school. Suppose monsters are an extension of human spiritual energy, their existence is closely related to humans themselves. Then, if one side perishes, it will inevitably have a profound impact on the other."
"An anomaly bred from the negative spiritual energy of humans... "
Fu Ling made a note of the important information she had extracted from the bad joke and decided to have her assistant send her the entire comic book series Duan Mingyuan ntioned when she got ho tonight.
If the concept of the proxy ssenger is disregarded, Duan Mingyuan's view on the matter aligns highly with hers. Their difference in identity led them to refer to the sa phenonon with different terms.
She secretly rejoiced, feeling truly vindicated by her visit.
The company's materials had described the death on as a monster that predicts death and brings disaster to people, yet this ti it had brought her good fortune.
"One of the research topics of the Life Science Departnt is the life energy of humans... no, it should be said, of all living beings."
Unlike the fanciful settings in fictional works, the company's research has achieved phase results, the studies conducted thus far have proven the existence of Life Energy, and both Duan Mingyuan and monsters serve as the best proof. "According to the company's records, individuals in Yunlong City have erged who are different from ordinary people. They can see things invisible to the normal eye and even sense anomalies beyond our reality. Mr. Mingyuan, you are one of them.
"When I was transferred to this city, I noticed this phenonon. However, in contrast to ambiguous gifts or bloodlines, the company places more trust in tangible data. Therefore, over the past few years, I have conducted in-depth research on this group and have concluded that their ability to connect with worlds outside our reality is due to their genetic structure being different from ordinary people's.
"However, we have yet to discover the hereditary patterns of such sequences, and the company has always advocated pragmatism. 'Seeing anomalies' is not yet compelling enough."
With the technology that the company currently holds, there is no need for them to rely on such special individuals to detect the presence of monsters and monsters.
Being able to see monsters, aside from bringing unnecessary burdens to one's life, offers no tangible benefits. Those individuals who have been docunted do not possess the ability to contend with monsters. In incidents of monster attacks, the only difference between them and normal people might be that they know how they died.
The company hasn't made smooth progress in researching monsters either. A lack of focus on the project ans the company won't allocate more resources to them, and experints have proven that the equipnt currently provided by the company is of little effect against these physically intangible entities.
However, the ergence of Duan Mingyuan has brought a turnaround for the entire research project.
Among these special populations, there would also be individuals born who could control this kind of energy like him.
"Assuming this theory is valid, that a monster is an extension of human spiritual energy, is there a possibility that we could help them control this energy through so ans?"
Fu Ling's eyes sparkled with a dazzling brilliance, as she fixed her gaze on Duan Mingyuan's eyes, eager for constructive advice from this industry insider.
The sudden excitent made the death's-head hawkmoth in her arms tremble, making her realize that this eting was not as simple as she had described, rely a casual greeting.
The topic had suddenly beco extrely dangerous, shifting quietly from "how to unite to fight against the monsters" to "how to create monsters."
"I don't know."
This undoubtedly touched Duan Mingyuan's blind spot in knowledge, he had received such an answer when he posed this question online during high school.
Perhaps sanitation workers or drumrs needed to be struck by an arrow marked with an insect sign in order to completely master this strength, otherwise monsters would be like a wild and blood-filled dream to them, allowing them to fully indulge their evil thoughts within this dreamland.
The above was the conclusion he drew from two reports Fu Ling had placed on the table.
Besides personal information and interpersonal relationships, these two stacks of docunts also detailed everything that the two of them had done in the past month, leaving no privacy before the company, even their private habits and craftsmanship were under the company's surveillance.
The reports also ntioned several disappearances that had occurred over the past month, the victims forever lost in their "dreamlands."
The sanitation worker had no idea what was happening to him, while the drumr was vaguely aware of the changes happening to his body.
In his diary, he referred to it as a "Wild Dream," where he beca the master of these dreamlands, removing so people he disliked using brutal thods. In the end, he ntioned finding a dirty companion in that cruel world.
"Wild Dream," the drumr drew inspiration from the dream, intending to integrate these bloody, sinful elents into the creation of the band's next album.
"Really?"
Fu Ling did not hide her disappointnt, "I thought an expert like you would definitely know."
She did not continue to press the issue, she had never expected to solve all problems with just one visit.
For the company's people, a friendly eting was the beginning of cooperation.
She took out a prepared gift from the inside pocket of her garnt—a tallic looking, blue-frad monocle with "Universe Manufacture" inscribed on the fra.
"This is an Energy Detector developed by the Life Science Departnt, it's capable of detecting general levels of energy fluctuations. It's a eting gift I prepared specially for you."
With that said, she took out a business card and placed it under the monocle.
"The company needs people like you, feel free to call this number if you're interested."
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and adhering to ti was a basic virtue of company employees.
Fu Ling stood up and walked to the door, reluctantly glancing at Jiuyue's fluffy tail, "Looking forward to our next eting, Mr. Mingyuan."
She lowered her eyelids, lost in thought.
Nas might be mistaken, but nicknas never are.
The proverb she heard in Yunlong City did make so sense.
