Chapter 29: Dream Plane?
Kevin sat in front of Raven 12345, waiting for her to give him a general knowledge. In fact, he didn't expect her to tell him everything so readily at the beginning. In his impression, Raven 12345 was a stubborn person who talked to herself from the beginning. This impression was set in stone from the day she forced people to board the pirate ship, but now it seems... this woman is not so unkind.
"This world is more complicated than you think," Raven 12345 sat directly on her desk without image, and her temperament was like a gang leader. "There are races you don't know, another society you don't know, and even another space you don't know. Most humans know nothing about it, but very few people with special talents will come into contact with it, that is, the dream plane."
Kevin swallowed subconsciously, and the serious expression on Raven 12345's face made him feel an invisible pressure.
"Of course, the name Dream Plane is something I decided on recently. I called it Virtual Space before, then Mirror World, Phantom Universe... Well, I think it was called Second World before," Raven 12345 scratched his hair, his serious temperament gone, "Anyway, it's a unique phenomenon of this universe, you can call it whatever you want, let's call it Dream Plane for now, and change it when I think of a good name in a few days."
Kevin has already slightly adapted to the erratic rhythm of this strange woman, and at this time, he asked with a smile: "What exactly is Dream Plane? Parallel space? I know this theory..."
"No, it's more complicated than that," Raven 12345 shook his head. "The dream plane is a special information structure of this universe, a bit like a parallel space, but more illusory and more unstable. The dream plane is superimposed on this universe. The latter is real, stable, and regular, while the dream plane is illusory, changeable, and irregular. When the real world operates normally according to the rules of the universe, the dream plane changes with the real world like a dream, but the mapping relationship between them is very chaotic, so this change is basically untraceable. It's good that you have heard of these theoretical things. Most humans don't understand this. In short, you just need to know one thing: the dream plane is a place superimposed on the real world. It is very unstable, but it almost never intersects with the real world. It also has mountains, rivers, plants, birds, beasts, and even intelligent life, but all of this is very chaotic. Before you have enough experience... it's best not to touch that place."
"Who wants to touch that thing!" Kevin shrank his neck immediately. "I fell in and was beaten by dozens of wolves soon after. They are at least two times bigger than the wolves on Earth! Didn't you say that the dream plane will not intersect with the real world? Then what happened to me?"
"I also said that people with special talents will be exposed to it," Raven 12345 pointed at Kevin's forehead, "It is through dreams. This world is in an information state, and everything is a manifestation of information. The information of heat, cold, size, quality, etc. is stacked up to make a thing describable and perceptible, so everything is produced. This is the simplest theory of information grand unification. Oh, this theory is actually more complicated than this, but it's enough for you to hear this. You just need to know that due to the existence of information unification, things in the dream plane can be guided to the real world, and the medium is dreams. This is why I recently named it the dream plane. In human history, there have been some people who can connect to the dream plane. Most of them are short-lived and accidentally killed by the distorted things in the dream plane, but their short lives will bring endless troubles to the real world... Black Death, floods, some... well, very troublesome things. Everyone who dies in the dream plane will bring out more or less things there, and ** 10% are harmful to the real world. "
Kevin was sweating coldly after hearing this. He never thought that the world he was so familiar with would have such a side. A few days ago, he complained that this world was too boring and daily life was too boring. Now he doesn't think so at all. On the contrary, this world is a little too exciting for a moment!
"So I am gifted?" Kevin didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he pointed at his nose with a weird look on his face, "The dream plane makes you talk nonsense, as if you will die if you are not careful... Then you should think of a way."
"Talent? You didn't have this talent originally," Raven 12345 grinned, "Don't think too much, you are just an ordinary person, but after contacting me, you were affected by the information disturbance force. This influence can gradually make you different from ordinary people. The initial change is that it becomes easier to contact those unusual things, which is also convenient for your future work. But you don't have to worry. The unlucky people who died in the dream plane have no background. None of the miserable guys in history were employees of our administration. How long can they bear it by themselves? You are different. You are a person with a certificate. This is called crossing by order. I will try my best to pull you out every time you are about to die..."
Kevin sweated on his forehead: "..." "You already know the situation in the dream plane, but I doubt how much you can understand just by words. You still need to get in touch with this abstract thing more. When the time is right, you will have plenty of opportunities to get in touch with that place." Raven 12345 jumped down from the table and patted Kevin's shoulder comfortingly, and almost nailed the latter into the ground. "As for nightmares, haven't you encountered them in the past few days? This shows that the balance between you and the dream plane has been restored. Under normal circumstances, an individual in the real world will not fall into a nightmare casually." Kevin rubbed his shoulders with a grin, and finally remembered that he had something to ask before: "By the way, do you know the demon hunter?" From Wei Lili, Kevin learned about the thousands of years of grievances and entanglements between demon hunters and aliens, as well as the historical origins between aliens and humans: weak but numerous humans, powerful but rare and loose aliens, and demon hunters of unknown origin, between humans and aliens. These three were once three equally active characters on the Earth stage, but now humans have taken control of the planet, and aliens have been extremely marginalized, even to the extent that ordinary people have no way of knowing, and demon hunters have also been dormant in human society. The former Three Kingdoms hegemony has become a monopoly of humans. In this situation, everything seems to be very calm, but Kevin knows that this calm is only superficial, and it is the demon hunters and aliens who tacitly maintain the superficial stability of the world. Demon hunters are still wandering around in this world. These powerful warriors who look no different from humans are still hunting aliens. Unfortunately, Kevin's family has two aliens among aliens. He is eager to know what attitude Raven 12345, a woman who calls herself a god, has in the face of this situation. Or in other words: How do the Xiling God System and the Space-Time Administration view the various races on Earth? Which side do they belong to?
Kevin thought a lot in his mind, but Raven 12345 just waved his hand indifferently: "I know, but I don't care. Anyway, haven't they found you yet? Let's talk about it when they find you."
Kevin thought about it and felt that he couldn't beat the white-haired witch in front of him, so he sat back in the chair obediently, folded his hands, and said sincerely: "Then there is one last question: I am such a weak earthling, and you let me deal with those supermen. Now it's okay if Wei Lili and Lili have good tempers, but if it's someone with a bad temper... You have to let me have some ability to protect myself, right? Let's make a deal, give me two hundred years of skills?"
Kevin just said this, he didn't expect Raven 12345 to really nod happily and pass him a copy of the Buddha Palm.
But Raven 12345 slapped his head and said, "Hey, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me! New employees are being trained. I always feel like something is missing... Fortunately, I remembered this before sending you to the battlefield!"
Kevin: "..."
If he dies one day, it must be because of this psychopathic boss who is a jerk but has a hole in his brain!
