Extraordinary pedigree

Xia Xiu squinted his eyes and looked forward. Standing in front of him was a middle-aged man. The man's hair and eyebrows were light-colored, his eyes were a little swollen, and his face was yellow and thin.

He wears an all-black uniform. The top is made of sharkskin texture material, which looks very tough, similar to leather armor. The sleeves are lined with red stripes, and the bottoms are loose black trousers with red stripes on the trouser legs. stripe.

Wearing a black round hat, there is a small metal badge on the front of the hat with special syllabic characters engraved on it.

Xia Xiu could understand the words on it. These words were like the Mimu characters unique to dreams. As long as he saw them, he could know the meaning of the characters.

【truth】

That's what it says on a middle-aged man's hat.

What's even more interesting is that there is a special character under the icon marked 101 in front. Under the character is an unusually majestic eye. There is no emotion in the gaze of this eye, only ruthless scrutiny and control, as if under It conveys a warning: You can't escape my surveillance, I know everything about you.

There are also words engraved around this eye - [The truth is watching you! 】

Xia Xiu tried to clasp his hands and found that the EVE particles on his body were in severe low-frequency activity. If he wanted to use [entry] now, it would probably take him half a minute to read the entry.

Is this a dream? What a unique opening ceremony.

Just as Xia Xiu was muttering to himself, a middle-aged man's dissatisfied cry and a rapid whistling sound came from the front.

"201, now that you're awake, can you tell me what this is?"

Peng——

Xia Xiu felt a pain in his forehead. The middle-aged man in uniform across from him smashed a book into his face. The corner of the spine of the book directly broke his forehead. Blood immediately poured out from the wound and flowed along his face. His eyebrows flowed down, moistening his eyes and nose.

The blood dripped from his cheeks and fell to the ground to form a pool of red stains, like a bright red flower blooming slowly, while blood was still flowing continuously on his forehead, like a Red streams flowed down from his head.

From a physical point of view, it is difficult to say that this is a dream, because no dream is as real as now.

The blond young man licked his slightly dry lips slightly, and blood was still dripping from his forehead. He was not angry at the middle-aged man's rough behavior. His eyes were aimed at the black book, and the cover of the book It says - "The Wasteland".

Looking at the book, the blond young man raised his blood-stained face and replied calmly to the middle-aged man:

"This is Eliot's book."

Looking at the calm Xia Xiu, the middle-aged man frowned slightly.

It seems like this new guy needs to be sorted out. Hilde said secretly in his heart.

Hilde does not dislike taming new people, conquering these new people can satisfy her morbid psychological needs.

"Yes, Eliot's book. "The Wasteland", this book is very bad, and it is very, very bad for new people who have just moved into [The Institute of Truth]. You know, the head nurse does not want Patients hold books like this, which will only make your sick minds more confused."

Hilde held the black baton and vigorously poked Xia Xiu's collarbone, which was sitting on the cell chair. In the depression of the collarbone, the black baton rubbed hard, and the cold-textured baton stung him like a needle. skin.

The blond young man stared at Hilde with narrowed eyes, his golden eyes flashed with a deep light, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he said to Hilde with an embarrassed look:

"This is my first time coming in, so I don't know much about the rules here."

Hilde pressed the baton in his hand hard, and his rough big palm suddenly grasped the young man's blond hair, tightly grasped the other man's hair, and jerked his head upward.

The slender neck of the blond young man was suddenly exposed to the air, and Hilde put the cold baton on his handsome face.

"Boy, don't give me that playful smile. The more I look at your face, the angrier it becomes. This is not the outside, and your face cannot be used as a tool to replace sympathy. Now I will tell you [the truth] Court] rules.”

"Here, obedience is a virtue."

"And this is the only truth. There is only one thing you need to do, and that is - obey!"

At this moment, Hilde's yellow face revealed a strange madness, and her eyes that stared at Xia Xiu looked as if they were going to eat him alive.

"...Yes, I obey."

The blond young man only frowned slightly after being pulled up by his hair, and reacted quickly.

"very good."

Hilde let go of his rough hands, and then picked up "The Wasteland" that fell on the ground. He spread out the books casually, and then scanned the books like an ugly thief, looking for anything that he found interesting. paragraphs, and soon he found one of them, so he started reading aloud with a sneer.

“April is the season of recovery for all things, and the land is full of green shoots.

The wind blows, and the sound of blowing through the green leaves is like the sound of water flowing.

Summer is coming, butterflies are dancing in the air, wild animals are running in the woods, and people are laughing and talking in the streets and alleys.

There is a deep despair and loneliness under these appearances. The rebirth of this season is both revival and ending. Everyone is silently bearing their own life and destiny. "

After Hilde finished reading, the sarcasm on his lips became more and more obvious.

"It's really a heretical existence. You have to know that in [The Institute of Truth], the only thing with beauty is the radio frequency room surrounded by it."

While he was talking, he took out a lighter from his arms.

Poof——

"And these are heretics!"

The flame of the lighter burned, igniting the corner of the page, igniting "The Waste Land", and then Hilde dropped it casually on the ground.

The fire gradually spread, and the pages of the book were devoured bit by bit. The smoke gradually became denser as the flames rose, filling the air. A corner of the page was ignited by the fire and burned quickly, like an open mouth, swallowing the entire book.

The firelight illuminated the surrounding space, reflecting the sick look on Hilde's face and the silent calm of the blond young man.

The flames jumped, as if they had a consciousness of their own, dancing among the pages of the book.

The papers that once stored knowledge, thoughts, and stories were reduced to ashes in the flames without a trace. The sound of burning and the smell of smoke filled the whole room, making people shudder.

Looking at the blond young man who lowered his head and remained silent, Hilde looked like a victorious general. He held his head high and judged the opponent:

"As punishment for your collection of books, you will be locked up here for three days."

After saying that, Hilde planned to turn around and leave.

"You are a fireman from the Daevite Empire. You burn books just like they do when they burn books. Hold it between your fingers, pinch a corner of it, and then light it."

A gentle voice called Hilde. When he heard the firemen of the Daeva Empire, his body couldn't help but tremble. He felt that his brain was itchy and something was about to grow out of it.

Hilde knelt on the ground in pain and covered her head.

Damn it!

Don't come out!

Don't come out!

Dong dong dong dong——

A rhythmic tapping sound sounded, and Hilde turned back to look at the source of the sound.

On the prison chair, the handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes did not hide the disgust in his eyes. He looked at Hilde who was kneeling on the ground like a king. There was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and the index finger of his right hand was pointing. He kept tapping the handle of the prison chair.

"In "Ocean of the Ether: Detailed Rules of Dreams", the [forbidden rules] of Memu Catalyst and Dream Phase Space were mentioned.

Ordinary individuals must accept the connection of the dream Meme catalyst when entering the dream, which will limit the relevant conventional phase space thinking in the dreamer's thinking process. In other words, for non-thaumaturges, there are untouchable [forbidden laws] in dreams.

If these [forbidden laws] are destroyed without removing the Meme catalyst and probability field, the uncontrolled "release" of cognitive phase space will cause neural activity to go out of control. Rapid and erratic neural activity generally results in severe epileptic seizures. Later, comprehensive lung failure and cardiac arrhythmias may occur due to memory erosion of the Memu catalyst, which interferes with subconscious neural activity. "

Xia Xiu looked at the pale Hilde and said with a smile:

"[Prohibition 1]: Do not expose real-life addresses, identities, names and other relevant details."

"Because this will allow the dreamer to quickly break through the blockade of thinking and perceive his or her position in the conventional phase space."

"It is actually very simple to circumvent [Prohibition 1], that is, to enter [Dream Double Thought] early, that is, to believe two or more contradictory things at the same time without feeling contradictory. For those who can observe [Ocean of Ether] For thaumaturges, of course they can imagine what the dream space looks like and can naturally avoid it quickly, but for ordinary people, the [Ether Ocean] is too far away."

The blond young man explained like a good teacher to Hilde who was holding her head and crying in front of her.

"The more detailed you describe your position in this world, the greater the [forbidden law] you will touch. Well, let me continue to help you recall the customs of your motherland and explain to you why I am so fast. Just make sure you are a firefighter from the Daevite Empire.”

"Please...no...please don't say it, don't..." Hilde stretched out her right hand and begged Xia Xiu for mercy with a look of grief on her face.

"It's so shameless if you ask me not to say anything." The blond young man replied with a bright smile.

Looking at the miserable Hilde, Xia Xiu continued to speak unhurriedly:

"The Daevite Empire, the most powerful anomalous country, has become highly supernaturalized internally. Within the empire, all Daevite people have a timer. The timer shows their remaining lives, and all currencies are based on The unit of time is time. The upper echelons of the empire are responsible for managing and controlling the lifespan and time of the people within the empire. The lower echelons of the empire need to constantly work to earn time to survive, while the upper echelons can live forever.

In order to maintain governance and the possible emergence of a second Ion, the empire promulgated the "Book Burning Order", the "Bokanovsky Process", and the "Ethnographic Planning Regulations". "

"ah!!!!!"

Hilde covered his head and hit the floor crazily. Memories related to him in this world had already appeared in his mind.

In his memory, he was wearing the special clothing of the Daevite Empire firefighters, all black with flame patterns printed on them and "451" written on the back. Their hats were also black with flame patterns on them.

"Please... stop talking..." Hilde knelt on the floor and begged Xia Xiu with tears in her eyes.

"Tsk, seeing how pitiful you are, I won't say anything. However, I can't agree to your request in vain. We are all adults and we all understand." Xia Xiu looked at Hilde with pretense of compassion. said.

"You... what do you want... me to do?" Hilde asked Xia Xiufa on the cell chair, covering her head with a splitting headache.

"Look, I'm still tied up, but you didn't even think of coming over to help me unshackle me." Xia Xiu gestured with his hands.

"Yes, yes, it was my negligence. I will go over and help you untie it right away." Hilde nodded and replied with a humble look. His headache was about to burst. If it were the blond young man in the prison chair, Say a few more words suddenly, and he will really burst into tears.

Just when he was about to endure the pain and get up to untie the shackles, he saw the index finger of the blond young man sitting on the prison chair shaking his right hand from side to side like a needle. The other person's golden eyes looked at him with a gentle smile. Said himself:

"No, no, no, I don't want you to come over and unshackle me."

Hilde asked with a forced smile:

"what do you mean····"

When he said these words, he saw the bleeding head of the blond young man raised slightly, with a joking smile on his lips, and his index finger moved back and forth like a dog walking, using a dog-like movement. He said to him in a tone of voice:

"Climb over here."

Hilde's face looked as ugly as eating shit at this time. He stared at the blond young man in front of him with wide eyes. As if he could see his dissatisfaction, the blond young man opened his mouth and whispered:

"The temperature at which paper burns is 451 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the most famous saying among Dewar firefighters."

Fahrenheit···451····

Severe pain emerged again, and Hilde felt as if his head had been hit by a fire ax.

"Deva firemen are generally planned as..."

"I crawl! I crawl! I crawl!"

Hilde abruptly interrupted Xia Xiu's words. He shook his limbs back and forth vigorously and came to Xia Xiu in a panic. Then he took out the key tremblingly and unlocked the shackles on the other person's hands.

When the shackles were opened, Xia Xiu slowly stood up while moving the joints of his hands.

"You were very skillful in that blow just now. It seems that you have hit many people." The blond young man covered his bleeding forehead and looked at Hilde who was still kneeling on the ground.

Hilde planned to speak tremblingly:

"I······"

bump--

At the same time as Hilde spoke, the blond young man's right leg hit the opponent's right cheek like a football.

Peng——

Hilde was directly volleyed into the corner, and several broken teeth fell to the ground along with the blood on the way. At this time, the blond young man came to Hilde in a hurry, and on the right The boots on his legs stepped directly on his forehead, with a bright smile on his face.

"You had a great time just now, didn't you?"

"Woooooo~"
