Abyssal Kingdom

Although Wei An often had nightmares, he rarely dreamed about things in the Qin family.

Today may be because Tao Jinlai mentioned that he had a previous dream.

The Qin family is a typical wealthy mansion. The slave era is here. It is not as bright as many new-style houses. It is old, and there are ghosts of history in every corner.

In the dream, he was sitting on the sofa, wearing a suit and leather shoes. He was the eldest brother of the family. He was already in a high position in the federal power system, and he had gained real power no matter where he was.

Qin Yi and his two cronies stood in front of him with disheveled looks, and asked him to deal with an accident in which two people died.

Wei An's face was cold and annoyed, but he still said, "I'll take care of it."

He called, found someone, took some effort, and it was handled cleanly.

He's the big brother, and that's what he's supposed to do.

The appearance of Qin Yi in the dream was imprinted in his mind, the handsome young man almost grew up by himself.

"You can't be so idle all the time," the self in the dream said to him, "Look at your life, it's a mess, can't you save people some time?"

"You will take care of it for me," Qin Yi said, "I know, you love me the most!"

The man looked at him with a smile on his face, with the flattery of a loved one, knowing that he would always get what he wanted.

Then his third brother sat next to him and hugged his shoulders intimately. Wei An didn't like others being so close to him, but after so many years of getting used to it, he let it go.

There are warm red flowers in the vase on the table. I don’t know how many times these conversations have happened. Like in many families or dramas, it seems normal for the children of big families to be absurd when they are young. Wei An hopes that he has Can grow up one day.But in fact, this kind of opportunity is not great. In many cases, they will only become more skilled and cruel when they get old.

Qin Yi smiled at the friend opposite, and said: "Brother has been raised in our house since he was a child. My dad picked him out, and he can be seen at a glance that he is a good seed. He met me in an underground experimental area of ​​the Ministry of Science. Brother, said he was so smart, he almost escaped. Those people were going to kill him, but my dad rescued him and brought him home... You know, it's old tradition, my dad is old school People, everything has to follow the rules.

"After the implant surgery, he put a lot of thought into cultivating his elder brother. The elder brother has always been a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Although he is sitting in his current position and is terribly cruel to outsiders, he is very affectionate to his family."

He's smiling like a proud family member, and of course he's showing off a great product.

There were a few times before the struggles of the upper-level big families. Wei An killed many people who hurt his family.

Qin Yi likes to talk about this matter, he is always very excited, his cheeks are flushed, and he keeps emphasizing it with others.

Wei An...Qin Wei tugged on the button of his collar, feeling out of breath.

He thought, of course he will take care of these people for the rest of his life, so that they can be safe and get enough power and respect for the rest of their lives.

He could feel the powerful, intense emotional power of being in the family, the most important thing in his life, and it was...beautiful and real.

In the deepest part of the dream, Wei An firmly grasped the gun in his hand...

Of course, he can't shoot at some people, and he can't hate the family that owns him. They own him.

He curled up in the darkness. The pain they created... To be exact, it wasn't pain. He couldn't describe the pain. It was said that it was a feeling of dying, but Wei An was on the verge of death, and it was worse than this. Far.

Wei An has experienced many things in his life, but he has never experienced anything like this time. Hell is nothing more than this.

Wei An couldn't wake up, he had a splitting headache, but the density of pain in the dream was too high, sticking together like a large swamp, a world almost real, trapped him in it.

He found himself standing in a squalid cul-de-sac where the air stank of garbage.

Large swaths of red ooze from the darkness ahead, velvet-like red petals. These things are not pure red, but mixed with some light red and pink, just like the morning glow, unfolding and being polluted in the dirt like a show off.

He could see the hem of the corpse's clothes, he could see the blood, he knew what he would see if he kept walking, but he didn't move a step, he couldn't look, he never looked where he shouldn't look.

When the night wind blows, the petals soar into the sky, with a graceful posture, the dirt on them is so dirty everywhere, attached to everything, and they can't get rid of in this life!

But his father looked at him and stroked his hair, and Wei An felt a huge and surging love for his family. The man saved his life and gave him the opportunity to show his ability. He was very grateful.

In the memory, the bright light floats above the house, so beautiful, peaceful, powerful, everyone is unique, and they love him very much.He felt sick.

In this love, something that does not belong to the original world seeps into it.

Wayne was still where he was, wearing a rumpled shirt and holding a gun stubbornly, but the dead end had changed.

The red petals on the ground are still there, there is no corpse, it is so beautiful everywhere, it is a well-dressed and stylish wound.

But Wei An raised his head and found that the opposite was... "the wall".

This time it is a high wall like a military base, more than ten meters high, as if it is made of steel, and you can see layers of power grids when you look up.

It is different from what he saw before, and there is no crack, but Wei An knows that they are the same thing, but it takes a different form in his mind.

Either way, it's an incomprehensibly gigantic wall.

Wei An recalled that in the city of ashes, the system summoned by Guiling, he called it "Great Wall of Illusion".

Surrounded by scenes of dilapidated urban areas, he often dreams of this place, but he knows that he is not standing anywhere in the human world at this time.

The sky is low, the sky is dark, and the clouds are as motionless as dead objects. There is something in this dream world, a very dark force, he can feel it.

There was a dull pain in Wei An's skull, and the twitching of the mutilated flesh became more and more intense.

He felt a distant longing in this extremely mutilated organ, left only vicious and mad.

The fragment left over from the ancient civilization in my mind has long lost its form, it is just a deformed shadow in the corner of the former glory, a trace of incomplete blood vessels, I can't imagine the past, I can't understand it, it's a completely different thing...

But he felt the longing, not even knowing what it wanted, like a dead embryo that would never be a bird, vaguely longing for an indescribable, unimaginable flight, which had no capacity even to imagine it in dreams, only There is a deceptive sweetness...it wants to wake up...

In the next moment, this longing turned into a severe pain that destroyed everything——

Wei An suddenly opened his eyes, fully awake.

Someone injected him with basic stabilizing injections, and the "golden coupon" was full of vitality, and stable power poured in like sunlight, the restlessness calmed down, the damage was once again pacified, crystallized, and the chaotic structure stabilized and calmed down.

Wei An just lay there, not knowing where he was for a while.

There was a disgusting smell of burnt plastic in the air, and the first sight of it scared him half to death.

On the zenith is a strange dense crowd of heads of people with big fists piled up there, accumulating into an upside-down posture.There are countless plastic doll heads, half-melted, sticky, some eyes are intact, some have been gouged out with only holes, some have been scratched by knives, or melted into one piece due to high temperature, they all stare straight at he.

Lying on the floor of his own bedroom, bumpy under his palms, he realized that those were the same little heads, tangled limbs, smoldering with the lingering heat of a high-intensity flame gun.

In a messy world of half-melted plastic toy products, Gui Ling knelt in front of him on one knee, holding in his hand the syringe gun he brought back from Ash City, which contained seven expensive "gold coupons".

Wei An struggled to sit up, his body felt a severe exhaustion, but he didn't know what was overdrawn.

His bedroom became a small part of his nightmare, the bed was gone, the bedside tables, lamps and random decorations all disappeared, and directly in front of him, there were hundreds of doll heads piled up into a fucking cone, There are also traces of blood.

In the Great Dark Age, some ancient societies piled up human heads like this, which was a way of demonstrating to their opponents.

Wei An knew what this was, it happened when his father died.

He didn't even remember dreaming, though he did dream of him, perhaps thinking of the event for a brief moment.

It was an...accident and tragedy. The location of the scene was very special. The Science Department spent a lot of effort to control it so that people could enter.The scene at that time was almost the same as it is now. It is really a culmination of human beings' fantasies about the frenzied nightmare of ancient civilizations...

The floor was bumpy, and Wei An unconsciously stroked it with his fingertips. Then he lowered his head and saw something completely different from his dream...

In the horrific plastic doll, the floor has left some kind of mark, like the erosion of countless deformed and slender fingers-almost undeveloped tentacles-stretched out of nightmares and touched real things.

The same is true on the ceiling, forming a vortex, as if a weird hand is crawling out from the most corrosive center, crawling around this area, each time getting bigger and bigger.

Some of them are very clear, very human-like, but definitely not, the fingers are too long, and they are palm-like tentacles, because they came out of the dream and pretended to be like this.

Wei An was stunned for a few seconds, then stood up in embarrassment, keeping a distance from the large nightmare scene.

Gui Ling also stood up, and put the injection gun on the table beside him.

"What the hell is this?!" Wei An said, "Is it something from that... that city?"

Gui Ling looked at him for a while, his eyes were scrutinizing, and there was another set of standards that Wei Anan didn't understand.

Then the man said: "This is the deep domain system."

Wei An took a shower again and changed his clothes.

He went to the kitchen to make a pot of tea. He didn't use the robot butler. He made it himself, which is said to calm the mind.

Wei An is familiar with tea making, walking, gardening, food and other things that are said to calm the mood and make people feel happy. Those things work in many cases and make you feel more human.

He poured a cup of tea for himself and Gui Ling, and sat on the sofa in the living room, the light was warm, the tea was hot, and he looked like the disaster had passed.

"Go eat something." Gui Ling said to him.

Wei An wanted to say that he was not hungry, but when Dang Guiling said so, he found that he was indeed hungry.

He walked to the refrigerator and took out the cake packed from the restaurant. He planned to eat it with the two of them, but he ate it up in two or three bites.

"You will be very hungry." Gui Ling said.

Something in his tone made Wei An shudder, and he realized the eerie emptiness in his body.

So Wei An stood up, took out a large box of family-sized desserts, and ate them with a spoon.

Gui Ling looked at him, as if all this was very normal.

Wei An ate half of the box in one go, and when he slowed down a bit, Gui Ling said, "You must be having a nightmare."

"...Well." Wei An said.

"Nightmare emotions are too strong, which will touch the power of the deep domain system," Guiling said. "When this system is disabled, it is very aggressive. The initial activation of emotions is related to hunger, which will cause a lot of consumption on the human body."

Wei An nodded.

"Experiments like ours... all die in a bad way." He said, "Is it so exhausted?"

"Yes." Gui Ling said.

Wei An looked up at him. The man was sitting opposite him, without contact lenses, and his hair was a little messy.

The light shone on the pair of dim pupils behind. It was a cold and heavy color, and it appeared extraordinarily dead under the warm light.

He doesn't really know what kind of person Gui Ling is, Gui Ling is a servant, a weapon, a friend and a lover, who will be there when you are in trouble, and his private parts are too vague to matter.

Wei An also never asked him about the secrets of ancient civilizations, because Guiling had a confidentiality agreement, and he did not talk about or participate in any actions that let humans discover more about ancient technologies—for example, science cannot allow him to do things for them, such as Escort for exploration in "Small World" - Guiling belongs to rules and shackles, and is a shadow from another world.

But now, the creature in the darkness spoke to him.

"The deep domain system was originally developed as an intelligence system, but then it got too close to 'over there' and began to confuse the boundaries of matter, turning into a chaotic system." Gui Ling said, "This technology can't be said to be very Mature, but large systems above level seven are like this, it is difficult to really figure out where the boundaries are."

Wei An nodded while eating sweets.

He knew what he was talking about, he just saw in the dent in the floor... a puppet's hand slowly emerged, at the junction of the two substances, the texture of the wood mutated into plastic, and the shape of the strange palm stretched forward .

The nature of matter is transformed, and power spills out of the nightmare, turning the bed, floor, and ceiling in the bedroom into part of the dream.

"When it becomes agitated to a certain extent, it cannot be solved by eating. It is a very deep consumption." Gui Ling said.

"Then how do I control..." Wei An said, "This?"

"Emotionally stable, no nightmares." Gui Ling said.

Wei An looked at him for a few seconds and laughed.

This smile did not have his gentle and refined appearance at all, it was full of morbid nervousness, and it was hollow and cold in his bones.

Gui Ling calmly watched him go crazy.

Wei An was wearing a large white T-shirt, and the monster was wearing the same style of black. Sitting opposite him were lovers' pajamas.Wayne asked.

The scene is really homey with lights and dessert and lovers in pajamas sitting on the couch like he's really got happiness and has a family and someone who loves him and he's just a normal guy who's having no big deal nightmares, It will get better soon.

Wei An laughed madly enough, stopped, and said, "What are those disgusting things that look like deformed hands? They seem to crawl out of blood."

"The deep-domain system leans too far towards 'there', and things with chaotic attributes are not always in a regular form," Guiling said, "Many of them resemble snakes, tentacles, and insects. They are more primitive. and the power of the brink of madness."

Wei An thought about the traces of the strange creature he brought from his dream, and said, "It matches me quite well."

He pulled his hair, even though he just took a shower, he still had to tidy it up.

"My power is like a villain," he said.

"Well," Gui Ling said, "I also think you are a villain."

Wei An smiled again, this time gently.

He leaned back comfortably, the sofa was very soft, he ate a bunch of sweets, he was no longer hungry, the lights in the house were bright, there were hot tea and couple cake plates in front of him, his "boyfriend" was sitting opposite, where all good.

He bit the dessert spoon and smiled at Guiling.

"Yes," he said, "we're both villains."
