709: Chapter 131: Life is But a Dream in Nanke 709: Chapter 131: Life is But a Dream in Nanke It is well-known that the Real World requires basic logic.
Setting aside whether it is scientific or not, focusing purely on a particular matter, there should at least be so cause and effect, logical sequences.
It’s not possible for wild Pokémon to perpetually spawn in a bush.
Nor could a school suddenly grow a rainbow-haired beautiful girl who is invisible to other boys but has a crush only on Yasashi Otaku.
But Old Four Chen did just that.
In the ti it took to buy so drinks and food to entertain guests, several large wolves suddenly appeared in his ho, ready to devour his elderly mother and son.
If Wang Yunxiao hadn’t been at his house, his life would likely have taken a decisive turn tonight.
Where did the wolves co from?
Wang Yunxiao was very curious about this.
With his current keen perception, if he calms down, he could even hear sounds from a street away clearly.
However, by the ti he heard the footsteps and low growls of the wolf pack, the beasts were already at the door.
Appearing out of nowhere, without even leaving footprints.
In the traditional theater industry in the past, there was a term called “chanical deity descent.” Originally, it referred to the physical sense of chanical deity descent—halfway through the play, backstage personnel manipulate machines to allow actors disguised as deities to descend from above.
Lately, it was broadly used to indicate scenario when an author can’t continue writing and forcibly finds a reason to end the story, such as a teor falling from the sky and annihilating both the protagonist and antagonist.
Having undergone three stringent crackdowns, Tiann City theoretically shouldn’t have such mythical creatures anymore, but that’s just theoretically speaking, as Wang Yunxiao had recently encountered a White Hair weasel.
In his realm of understanding, he could only think of three possibilities.
The first one is the teleportation ability of Chess Herald.
Chen Yan, who had just started Cultivation, was able to use the ability of “Rook Swap” to tily adjust the formation and effectively enhance their combat power.
Wang Yunxiao had even experienced the prowess of a high-level Chess Herald, able to transfer their entire team effortlessly to a precise location in the Outer Dinsion.
It seems to be called Astrologer or sothing…
The second possibility is the plot of chanical deity descent.
Using the word “plot” might not be entirely accurate, but if it is said that Old Four Chen accidentally obtained the Divine Skill Secret Manuals and started Cultivation, leading to an accidental destruction of his ho and a radical change in personality, causing Qi Deviation- this kind of cliched plot Wang Yunxiao had seen enough in movies and novels in the past.
If soone is secretly scheming and has the power to intervene in Old Four Chen’s fate, it wouldn’t be strange for them to pull off such a thing.
It’s just that the job was done too sloppily.
He didn’t take unexpected factors into account, naly official forces’ intervention.
The third possibility, which common people might not understand, but is logically plausible:
That is Old Four Chen sleepwalking.
He acquired the Divine Skill Secret Manuals by chance, he saw words on the book that others couldn’t see, or it seed more like filling the logical gaps, and he ca up with explanations himself.
As well as the wolves abruptly appearing at the door.
It sounds like a hallucinatory dream.
The eting tis between the Real World and the Outer Dinsion are twice a month.
But so special dinsions don’t fall into this category, such as Dreamland and Netherworld.
After all, people dream every day and can die at any ti.
But that doesn’t an interactions can occur; it is all one-sided.
This touches upon the basic concepts of cognitive theory.
Indeed, it’s not knowledge that junior high students should be exposed to; normal junior high students can’t even understand how their parents make money to support the family, let alone feel any psychological burden when spending money.
If you tell them to study advanced mathematics, they need to have the aptitude for it.
Luckily, Wang Yunxiao was ntored by a conscientious and responsible teacher.
“To put it simply, it’s his own Nanke dream.”
Wang Yunxiao explained to Youtiao: “However, this dreamland has a wide range of influence, and it’s a collective dream with clear signs of human manipulation behind it.”
Humans are creatures that easily dream, and once they indulge in the dreamland, they seldom want to wake up.
For example, everyone dreams of making a fortune from stocks, or the national football team entering the World Cup…
“So how do we solve it?”
“We can’t solve it.”
This is where Wang Yunxiao feels the situation is thorny.
He doesn’t understand the operational principles of the dreamland, which involves his area of ignorance.
You can fight monsters with health bars, but how do you deal with a dream without one?
You can manage the heavens and the earth, but can you stop people from dreaming?
“What about dicine?”
Youtiao ca up with a poor idea, his eyes shifting: “Does taking sleeping pills help?”
“Wouldn’t taking sleeping pills make them sleep even more?”
“But think about it the other way, big brother.
If he gets enough sleep at night and good sleep quality, he’ll be awake during the day and won’t have these dayti dreams, right?”
“…”
Seems reasonable?
Wang Yunxiao thought for a long ti and surprisingly couldn’t find any reason to refute.
“But we can’t just let him keep taking dication.”
“He doesn’t need to keep taking dication.
Isn’t it just a special period right now?
Once we drag through this period, we can ask the professionals from the Special Service Bureau for help!”
Sss…
Makes sense!
Just as Wang Yunxiao decided to give it a try, the sound of a car engine approached from afar, and Chen Yuguang hurried in.
“Chief!
Sothing happened at Cat Ear Alley!”
Cat Ear Alley?
Wang Yunxiao recalled the related information in his mind: “Is it another cultivator’s residence?”
“Yes, an old beggar nad Wang Old Five, who practiced the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and always claid he wanted to beco the leader of the Beggars Sect.
A neighbor was having a wedding next door, he barged in and slapped the groom to death, kidnapped the bride and locked her in the house, then sat there holding a pork hock in one hand and a liquor pot in the other…”
“Wasn’t he invited?”
“It seems he wasn’t…
but who invites a beggar to their family affairs either black or white?”
“A diversion.”
“What?”
Looking at Chen Yuguang, anxious yet helpless, Wang Yunxiao didn’t say much, just waved his hand.
He had once complained why the Special Service Bureau, nominally in charge of handling special affairs, actually behaved indifferently and heartlessly, ignoring everything.
Now, having reached this position himself, he gradually understood everything.
The enemy is not foolish; on the contrary, those who have survived to this day are all cunning and cruel opponents.
When facing the absolutely superior authority, they won’t rush up stupidly like the demons in the Underground City, ready to give away experience and loot.
They will unscrupulously use various conspiracies and brutal acts.
Now just as Wang Yunxiao and his team had just managed the issue with Chen Old Four, Wang Old Five went berserk.
By the ti they get there, who knows if another issue with Song Old Six might erge sowhere else.
This is the strategy of exhausting the enemy by creating diversions.
If you do not address the root of the problem, those problems will be endless, constantly dragging you down until you collapse.
But even knowing so, do you intervene or not?
