Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

"Pseudomoth is a creature between the dream world and the real world, so its eggs are also between dream and reality, and exist in dream and reality at the same time. The Black Dream Hunting Group uses the dream cocoon of ordinary people As nourishment for false moths, they usually preach to ordinary people and let them believe in moths, so that moths will bring them sweet dreams. The false moths created by the hunting group are connected, and after this connection, once ordinary people fall asleep, their dream cocoons in the dream world will be captured by the false moths and bound by them."

The little fox continued to speak to Greg, who was imitated by a black dog, and when Greg heard that ordinary people's dream cocoons were used as nourishment for the growth of false moths, Greg couldn't help but frowned, and stood up straight on his hind legs , and said worriedly.

Chapter 410 Dark Dream

"The dream cocoon of ordinary people is used as nourishment? Is there such a creature? After the dream cocoon is used as nourishment, what will happen to people in reality?!"

"Many creatures in the dream world are beyond the understanding and imagination of ordinary people... If dream cocoons are used as nourishment, then people in reality will definitely not have any good results. As for I will tell you what the result is, black dog, just sit down and listen to me."

Seeing Greg's reaction, the little fox said to him indifferently, after hearing what the little fox said, after a slight pause, Grego also stabilized his emotions and sat back on the ground, and continued to listen to the little fox's words, And the little fox continued to speak in a solemn tone.

"Under the capture of the false moth, ordinary people will really fall into a carefree and painless dream, and they will be unable to extricate themselves from it, while the false moth will absorb the spirituality in the dream cocoon as nourishment for its own growth. Under the circumstances, the more dream cocoons captured by false moths, the more nourishment they can absorb from dream cocoons. Therefore, the Black Dream Hunting Group will specially organize an underground church that secretly believes in moths in one place, and spread the belief of moths in private.

"The Black Dream Hunting Squad usually chooses the middle and lower class people who are frustrated in reality or oppressed by life to preach, while those who are tempted to believe in religion are usually unable to extricate themselves because they are silent in the dream given by the moth. In the dream, they can There are things that cannot be possessed in reality, and those who are more and more dependent on dreams will feel disgusted by the painful reality, thus gradually escaping from reality and indulging in dreams, which also allows the Black Dream Hunters to easily control those who are addicted to dreams Believers, let them act strictly according to the rules set by themselves. In order to continue to enjoy the sweet dreams at night, no one will choose to report. They can easily control a large group of people to provide nutrients for false moths.

"As for those believers who are addicted to beautiful dreams, their dream cocoons will be squeezed out every day and night, and their spirits will gradually collapse unknowingly, and slowly move towards nothingness. becomes an empty shell, and this utterly meaningless shell becomes a puppet of a false moth."

The little fox said to Greg very solemnly. Hearing the words of the little fox, Greg also looked solemn. He had also come into contact with many evil associations before, and among them there were all kinds of methods to control ordinary people. He is most familiar with the cup of medicine used by the Crimson Communion, which is an addictive drug that stimulates the human body's deep instinctive desires. His former colleague Brandon became Igwin because of being controlled by the cup of medicine. The inner ghost in the Te'an hidden bureau, and now there is an association that relies on dreams to control others, and I feel that this association is even more unpredictable.

"These guys... rely on the dream cocoons of ordinary people as nutrients to promote the growth of false moths... in order to make false moths mature and become their weapons?"

Greg said to the little fox with a solemn expression, and the little fox replied bluntly.

"It's not just a weapon, the false moth is the foundation of the society for the Black Dream Hunting Group. The Black Dream Hunting Group is different from ordinary Extraordinary associations. They don't have a regular Extraordinary branch inheritance, and their abilities are not It comes from the accumulation and promotion of spirituality, but directly from the cultivation of false moths."

"They don't have a branch of inheritance? The ability is obtained by cultivating the false moth? This, what does this mean?"

Hearing the little fox's words, Greg said with some puzzlement, and the little fox answered immediately.

"To put it simply, the ranks of their group of guys come from the false moths and not from themselves. If we calculate according to our usual rank ratings, their entire association is almost just the 'shadow' Extraordinary of the apprentice rank. , their main abilities and ranks come from the connection with the false moth."

"Are they also connected to the false moth?" Greg asked somewhat unexpectedly, but the little fox answered directly.

"Yes, just like those ordinary people who were captured in their dream cocoons, their dream cocoons are also connected to the pseudo-moth, and even deeper. It can be said that they directly grow on the body of the pseudo-moth. The connection method is different from that of ordinary people. The dream cocoon he is connected with the false moth is not only not absorbed by the false moth, but can even obtain abilities from the false moth. This series of abilities is very similar to the dream-eating journey I am in. Similar, they are all related to dreams, through this special link, they can even control the behavior of false moths."

The little fox continued to patiently explain to Greg and listened to the little fox's explanation,

"This means...the extraordinary abilities of these guys actually come from false moths...not their own?"

"That's right, a false moth can make such special links with many Black Dream Hunters. According to the growth progress of the linked false moths, the number of special connections that can be made and the upper limit of the strongest ability after the connection will also increase. That is to say, the more mature the false moth develops, the stronger the group of black dream members connected to the false moth will be.

"Some of these guys can get different levels of abilities from the false moths, which are similar to the dream-eating path. When they are eggs, they can get apprentices at most, when they are insects, they can get black soil, and when they are chrysalis, they can get chalk at most. Only mature and complete Pseudo-moths can provide a member of the Black Dream Hunting Group who is connected to it with a place of Chicheng rank. As long as it is supplemented by a ceremony, a member can be deeply connected with the Pseudo-moth and become a member of the group. A Extraordinary whose name is almost Chicheng rank."

The little fox said to Greg like this, and after hearing the little fox say a lot of extraordinary knowledge beyond his comprehension, Greg paused in place for a long time, and then spoke silently after a long while.

"It's unbelievable, in this world...is there actually such a way to improve extraordinary abilities? It's completely different from the extraordinary path we've taken..."

"Of course it's different. According to Grandpa...Well, it is said that there were various ways to embark on the extraordinary road in the past world, including this method of co-existing with extraordinary creatures to obtain extraordinary abilities. Now what we have The spiritual accumulation promotion method used is only a very perfect and stable one, and it has been adopted by most Extraordinary organizations. The Black Dream Hunting Group used this ancient promotion method because of some specific reasons. Symbiosis."

"A specific reason? What is it?"

Greg asked curiously, and the little fox answered with a shake of his head.

"I don't know about this for the time being, because I need to dispel poison, and I don't know everything about the Black Dream Hunters, but I think I have told you enough.

"The small town that the detective encountered should be chosen by the Black Dream Hunting Group as a breeding ground for false moths. It is very dangerous there. You can tell the detective that if you don't want to be in danger, then leave as soon as possible."

The little fox seriously instructed Greg, and Greg nodded understandingly after hearing her words.

The matter of the Black Dream Hunters has already been inquired about, and after waking up, it is time to report the information to that detective.

Chapter 410 Five Metamorphosis

Conquer the North Shore of the Sea, Navaja.

In the middle of the night in Navaha, people returned to their homes one after another. Most of the streets have fallen into silence, and another quiet night is coming.

In a high-end hotel in Navaha, Dorothy was sitting at the desk in her room, looking seriously at the "Wen Hai Hang Zhi" in front of her. At this time, on the page that Dorothy opened, almost It was full of handwriting, and this handwriting was very familiar to Dorothy, and it belonged to her elder brother Greg.

Not long ago, Dorothy contacted Greg via "Wen Hai Hang Zhi", and asked him to ask the little fox about the abnormal signs of Pan Moth and Navaha. Just now, Greg finally gave After replying by herself, Dorothy couldn't help being surprised in her heart after carefully reading the information.

"Butterflies and moths... I never thought that the group of guys who were causing trouble in Navaha were members of the Black Dream Hunters. The moth god they believed in... and the butterfly god who opposed the moth god, This time I really got a lot of valuable information..."

Looking at Greg's handwriting on the page in front of her, Dorothy couldn't help murmuring that the amount of information she got from the little fox this time was beyond her expectations, because the Black Dream Hunting Group and Because the little fox was hostile, she told Dorothy a lot of information about the Black Dream Hunters without any hesitation, and did not ask for any price, which made Dorothy feel overjoyed for a while.

"Now it seems... the little fox is a follower of the so-called Butterfly God lineage, and judging from the titles of 'Fantasy Knight' and 'Moon Envoy' held by that Butterfly God, he should be one of the Four Knights of Moon Shadow The Dream Knight, like the Wind Knight Arthur, is a subordinate god under the Mirror Moon Goddess.

'What Dorothy heard when she was a child was that in the fairy tale about the fairy in the lake, the fairy in the lake also used the goblin as her messenger, and this butterfly god is also called the goblin queen, which can also correspond to the goblin in the fairy tale, so this The Butterfly God should be the Goddess of the Mirror Moon Goddess of the Third Epoch, but I don’t know why a moth suddenly came out to oppose him.

'According to the Black Dream Hunting Group, the moth is a further transformation of the butterfly, and the moth god is the existence of the butterfly god after changing the form, but the little fox does not agree with this statement, and calls the moth god the god of hypocrisy. What it is like, I don't know at all.'

Looking at the description of the Butterfly God in "Wen Hai Hang Zhi", Dorothy thought in her heart that she already knew about three of the Four Knights of the Moon Shadow, and Arthur the Wind Knight was the national hero and founding king of Preet , and now it is suspected that it has fallen and the god seat is vacant. There is an unclear relationship between the blood knight, the monster Aglo, and the spider queen. It is the eight-pointed spider queen. The dream knight can be sure that it is the butterfly god. Now it seems to be caught in a dispute with the moth god, and the situation is not clear. It is not clear what the relationship between him and the moth god is.

Among the Gods of "Shadow", Dorothy's information is the least clear about the Spirit Knight and the Mirror Moon Goddess as the main god. Among them, the status of the Mirror Moon Goddess is the most important, and I don't know what happened to her. Only then did such a major change happen to the gods of his line.

After thinking about the Butterfly God, Dorothy turned her attention to more realistic information, that is, the information about the so-called "false moth" in the "Wen Hai Hang Zhi".

'False moth...the extraordinary creature bred by the Black Dream Hunting Group praying for the power of the moth, is between the reality and the dream world, and needs to absorb the nutrients in the dream cocoon of mortals to grow. Among them, the source of the abnormal influence is this thing.

In order to provide nourishment for the growth of false moths, the Black Dream Hunting Group uses beautiful dreams as bait to secretly spread the heresy of moth beliefs everywhere. Those who believe in moths will be captured, and if the dream cocoons are absorbed for a long time, they will experience mental breakdown and become a mental hospital. For those patients in the book, this should be the essence of insomnia.

'According to the little fox, the method of obtaining the extraordinary ability of the guys from the Black Dream Hunting Group is different from that of the mainstream hidden world. They obtained extraordinary power from the false moth. Strong. This kind of alternative method of obtaining extraordinary abilities may be the reason why the Black Dream Hunting Group cannot use the "enlightenment" spirituality normally even though they have the ability to eat dreams. He is just an apprentice of 'Shadow', and he does not have any extra 'enlightenment' spirituality for divination.

'They directly obtain abilities rather than spirituality from the false moth, and the spirituality of the false moth itself is not so easy to use. In essence, they are not normal auxiliary 'enlightenment' Extraordinary."

Dorothy thought about it so much, the little fox's information solved her doubts about why a bunch of supplementary "enlightened" Extraordinary gathered together, but did not change the pattern of the hidden world, because these guys were not normal Extraordinary at all.

'I don't know how far this false moth here in Navaha has grown. According to the results of the investigation in the past few days, the insomnia has lasted in this city for more than ten years. I don't know how many patients are affected, and the number of patients in the whole city is now three to four hundred. The total number of victims over the past ten years must be several thousand...'

Frowning, Dorothy thought so grimly in her heart that the total population of Navaja is about 15, and the cumulative number of victims of insomnia over the past ten years is several thousand. This ratio is already exaggerated. If it wasn't for the Black Dream Hunting Squad's high degree of penetration into Navaja, and if it wasn't for the powerful control of the Moth Cult's Sweet Dreams, this proportion of mental illness rates would never be concealed.

And since this Navaja moth has devoured the dream cocoons of thousands of people, its growth level cannot be low, and it is very likely that it has reached the stage of pseudo-chrysalis.

Thinking about the current form of Navaja, Dorothy's expression became more and more serious. She turned the dreams of thousands of people into food and fed them to Extraordinary creatures. As far as Pointy Nest is concerned, it is even worse.

After analyzing all the information, Dorothy hid the handwriting on the "Wen Hai Hang Zhi" and closed it, then she closed her eyes slightly, and began to extract the drug knowledge information from the information, and finally got 3 Point "Shadow" and 2 points "Enlightenment" spirituality.

After obtaining the information about the little fox, Dorothy has roughly grasped the situation of Navaja. Facing the powerful and extraordinary creature like the false moth, she has no intention of retreating. Vaha's determination to eradicate the Black Dream Hunters here.

"Heimeng's stronghold in Navaha...has been in business for more than ten years, and it has harmed many people, but at the same time it must have a lot of background. Whether it is public or private, I have to get rid of it It is necessary, and now there is the power of the church here, this is an opportunity for me, I need to take this opportunity to find out the false moth.'

Dorothy thought of this, and then she planned to start working overnight to find the stronghold of the black dream and the location of the false moth. If it wasn't for the people from the church, she would not easily provoke these guys. But it happens that there is such a booster at the side, so it’s not in vain.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Dorothy controlled her small corpse doll to fly out in the dark, spread out towards every corner of Navaha, sneaked into every corner of Night City, and began to monitor different groups of people.

Chapter 410 Five Metamorphosis

These people are the key observation objects that Dorothy spent time selecting. Among them are devout believers who believe in Pan Mo, the dean of the mental hospital, and the executive mayor of the Navaha City Hall. These people are all possible. As long as you keep an eye on the people who have secret contact with the Black Dream Hunting Group, Dorothy will not worry about not being able to catch the Black Dream Hunting Group's tail.

Now is the middle of the night, which is very conducive to the "shadow" association activities of the Black Dream Hunting Group, so it is also a good time for Dorothy to carry out this kind of all-round surveillance. As long as she can catch the tail of the Black Dream Hunting Group tonight, Then tomorrow their specific information will be sent to the church fleet at the port for very normal and reasonable reasons.

'Although there are people from the church, the church may not be very familiar with things in the dream world. If they can't deal with this group of guys, it will be troublesome, so I have to prepare some backup just do it."

While being monitored, Dorothy continued to think about it in her heart, and then she had some other thoughts in her mind, so she manipulated the small corpse puppets in the believers' homes to start a careful search. The target is mainly things like Pan Mo's scriptures. Dorothy looked through these scriptures carefully, and at the same time asked the small corpse dolls to seriously see how these believers usually worship Pan Mo.

"Moth...Please flap your wings with my skull...Bring me a carefree dream tonight..."

Under the observation of the small corpse doll, Dorothy saw that in a private house somewhere in the city, there was a thin and weak old couple in pajamas who were talking to the Holy Moth hidden in the compartment. Worshiping at the altar, after completing the simple ceremony, they staggered out of the compartment, and after closing the door, the two entered their bedroom, and soon turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Seeing the two fell asleep, Dorothy immediately asked her small corpse to go to their home to search for more information about Pan Mo's beliefs, and just as Dorothy started searching, an unexpected situation happened.

In the dark room, the old couple who had not fallen asleep for a long time, suddenly trembled unnaturally all over their bodies, and did not start to moan in pain. Amidst the painful sound, the two of them The person's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and the whites of the eyes turned up.

"Uhhhhh..."

As if having epilepsy, the two old couples were shaking more and more violently, and the whole bed seemed to be shaken apart by them. Seeing this scene, Dorothy couldn't help being startled.

"What's going on here? Why did this situation suddenly appear? Could it be that this is the state when you are being given a dream by the false moth? But this doesn't look like a dream at all?"

Seeing such a change in the room, Dorothy couldn't help but frowned and thought that her corpse puppets in other believers' homes also started to make changes.

In all the believers' homes that Dorothy observed, including some city hall officials, one after another, they all made strange trembling and painful noises in their sleep, and the symptoms of each were surprisingly consistent, as if they were doing the same thing. From their expressions, such a dream is definitely not a good dream but a nightmare.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Dorothy knew right away that this was definitely not how they usually slept, because the movement was too loud, and it had already started to affect the neighbors. an unexpected situation.

In the psychiatric hospital, Dorothy also saw that those patients who had been sluggish all of a sudden got up from the bed one after another. They knelt silently on the ground, facing the same direction, and stretched out their hands in worship.

'In their dreams...what the hell is going on now?'

Looking at the series of abnormal situations in front of her, Dorothy couldn't help but frowned and thought in her heart that an ominous premonition arose in her heart at this moment.

......

Navaja, underground somewhere.

In our dark and vast space below, there are countless figures kneeling here at this time. Most of these figures are dressed in shabby clothes, haggard, dull-eyed, and look like corpses, just like the patients in the mental hospital.

The haggard man knelt in the dark space to form circle after circle, raised his hands in worship, and stared at the center of the circle with dull eyes, standing in a circle wearing gray and black Normal figures in robes, with spiral moth patterns tattooed on their robes, whispering silently in their mouths, and a huge thing is hanging in the circle formed by them.

It was a giant chrysalis nearly ten meters high. This chrysalis was suspended vertically in mid-air without any external force. It is transparent, seemingly virtual and real. It seems that this exists, but it seems that it is not here. Around the chrysalis, you can vaguely see the illusory forest scene flashing past.

On the huge chrysalis, there are countless equally translucent white cocoons attached to it. These cocoons almost cover the entire surface of the chrysalis, and slowly wriggle on top of it, as if they are being quickly Absorbed into the chrysalis, the whole picture makes people feel sick after seeing it.

Under the huge chrysalis, among the group of people wearing gray and black robes, Garcia was holding a wooden stick in her front hand, staring at the giant chrysalis in front of her eyes frantically, she opened her hands and shouted frantically.

"Pupus! Eat as much as you want! Eat up all the cocoons that haven't been eaten! Absorb all the dreams that haven't been absorbed! Then transform!

"Moth Scales, now is not the time for you to grow slowly, the crisis has come before us, the glow is trying to pierce our dreams, we need you! So transform now! Cover the glow with your wings Light! Let the dream remain forever!"

Garcia called out to the huge chrysalis, and immediately, the giant chrysalis accommodated all the cocoons attached to its body in one breath, and after incorporating all the cocoons, its surface became smooth .

After the giant chrysalis that swallowed all the cocoons fell silent for a while, a crack opened on its illusory surface.

At this moment, an invisible force erupted from the chrysalis, spread to the surface at a very high speed, and spread to the town of Navaha. People affected by this force fell into a deep sleep one after another.

The seabird that was flying in the sky fell asleep in the sky because of sudden sleepiness, and fell from the sky. The policeman on duty yawned and fell to the ground uncontrollably. The thief who was stealing Sleeping directly on the roof, no creature can resist this force.

This invisible force took the giant pupa as the center, and quickly swept across the entire Navaha. In the hotel, Dorothy, who was wary of the sudden abnormal appearance of the observed object, suddenly felt a wave A powerful drowsiness, a drowsiness so strong she couldn't resist it.

In this powerful randomness, she hardly had any resistance, and she was about to fall into a deep sleep. At this moment, she felt that the situation was not good.

'Oops...this is...extraordinary interference...

'I can't... just sleep through...'

At the last moment when she was about to fall asleep, Dorothy hugged herself tightly with her hands with the last of her mind, and then, without applying an galvanic posture to improve her resistance to electricity, she let her body release current.

Chapter 410

Conquer the North Shore of the Sea, Navaja.

In the middle of the night, Navaha, the chrysalis of a false dream that was originally silently growing slowly in the underground space of the city, is growing rapidly under the catalytic ritual of the city's underground, and the dream cocoon that has not yet been fully absorbed is forcibly swallowed. In the chrysalis, at the moment when the chrysalis was finally ripened, the giant chrysalis finally burst out of the gap, and then an incomparably powerful hypnotic force centered on the giant chrysalis spread to the entire Navaha, and all the waking creatures in the city were shocked. They were forced to sleep because of this power, including Dorothy who was investigating.

After Dorothy observed the strange situation of the believers of the moth and the insomnia patients in the mental hospital, she became vigilant in her heart, so at the moment when the powerful drowsiness came, Dorothy, who was prepared, had a brief Time is the time to fight, she knows that the current self must not fall into the hazy dream like this, in the hazy dream, she will only be the target of the Black Dream Hunters, and the current she wants to be in this short period of time There is only one way to resist slumber.

"Mm... Mmhhhhhh!!"

In the hotel room, the girl sitting on the wooden chair was trembling with her hands folded over her chest. She couldn't help screaming amidst the tingling pain, and the eyeballs in her wide-eyed eyes rolled up, revealing large whites of her eyes.

Dorothy has never thought of roughness before. One day she will experience the feeling of her own click. Although she has controlled the voltage and current, the feeling of being electrocuted is still not so pleasant. The current electric shock is definitely her crossing The most serious injury the body has ever suffered.

After implementing the electric shocks all over her body, Dorothy slumped on her chair, her mouth wide open, she looked forward dully, and her legs and drooping hands twitched from time to time. , although she looks a bit embarrassed in this state at this time, but fortunately she did not fall asleep at this time, the intense feeling brought by the electric shock allowed her to temporarily survive the powerful hypnotic power, and did not fall into the In a hazy dream that knows nothing.

"Huh...huh...huh...I didn't expect that not long after I got the ability to use lightning, I also tasted the feeling of being electrocuted."

Panting, Dorothy sat up straight on the chair, and now she was very clear that it was not time to rest, and now she had to take advantage of this brief moment of waking up to do more important things.

"Now... take advantage of the time gained by the electric shock... we must make preparations..."

Dorothy sat down on the chair, then she closed her eyes silently, and began to perform self-suggestions in her heart, preparing for lucid dreaming.

And just a few minutes after Dorothy closed her eyes, another round of powerful hypnotic fluctuations hit the distant underground again, and soon spread to Dorothy, and Dorothy was stimulated to wake up. My mind once again felt a strong drowsiness.

But this time, Dorothy didn't use electric shocks to keep her spirit up, but let the randomness hypnotize herself. Just like that, Dorothy fell into a deep sleep while sitting on the chair in the hotel. However, the deep sleep this time was not a drowsy dead sleep.

After Dorothy fell asleep completely, her consciousness quickly condensed in the dream, and soon, Dorothy's dream entity was condensed in her own dream space, and what appeared in front of Dorothy at this time, It's No. 17, Lusha Town, the scene in my study.

Using the method of lucid dreaming, Dorothy successfully entered the dreamland while maintaining a clear state of consciousness. If she did not prepare for lucid dreaming, then she would fall into unconsciousness without knowing anything if she fell asleep like this In the state of lucid dreaming, she can think normally in the dream to deal with the current situation.

"Finally, I have time to think about it. Suddenly, this kind of extraordinary influence covering the whole city appeared, and there was more than one wave. What happened? What happened to Heimeng and the false moths they cultivated?" ?"

In the dream space, Dorothy sat on a chair in her room and muttered, she didn't expect that she was about to investigate the Black Dream Hunters, but this situation suddenly appeared.

Because Dorothy saw many sober people suddenly fall asleep on the ground during the monitoring of the city before, she understood that the drowsiness that affected her was not just for herself, but a super-large-scale hypnosis for the entire city Influence, able to create this level of extraordinary phenomenon, the source of this influence has surpassed the limit of ordinary Cretaceous Extraordinary, and according to the information of the little fox, only the Black Dream Hunting Group can do this in the entire Navaha Pseudomoths in cultivation.

According to the little fox, the egg stage of the false moth is equivalent to an apprentice, the insect stage is equivalent to black soil, the pupal stage is equivalent to chalk, and the adult stage is equivalent to red adult. This kind of hypnotic fluctuation that affects the entire small town is obviously only close to the red adult. It can only be done with the extraordinary ability of the level.

"Extraordinary ability of the Chicheng level... Could it be that the pupae of those guys have successfully emerged as false moths? It can't be such a coincidence, I just planned to target them and then they successfully emerged? This feels a bit It's unreasonable... Could it be that my idea is so memorized that I arrived in Navaha not long before these guys completed their eclosion?'

In the dream space, Dorothy clutched her forehead, thinking in her heart a little depressed, if the current situation is really that the false moth has successfully emerged, then things will really be a big deal.

"All in all, I'm in a dream and I don't know anything. I have to continue to obtain information from the real world. Let's try to wake up first."

Dorothy thought like this, although her spirit is awake in the dream, her body is still in a lethargic state in reality, unable to move and let others slaughter her. This is very dangerous, so let her body Getting moving again is the first priority.
