A Walk Outside Had Shown Him Just How Many Talented People There Were
After reading these books about the anomalies of this world, Feng Xue could almost conclude that the super Weird Tale of this world were completely different from Infinite City and the Mysterious Game Company.
Because this thing is just too heavily designed!
He was almost certain that this was a backup plan left by some supernatural Weird Tale had already amassed a full set of divine equipment.
It doesn't need to be very strong, nor does it need to be widely known, but it must be extremely resilient. In some ways, even the ultimate Weird Tale that Feng Xue pursues, the "Martial Ancestor," cannot compare to the "Fate" of this world.
Because it is a supernatural Weird Tale has been actively passed down.
Judging from the sense of mission shown by the Dream Guardian, even if the organization perishes, they will definitely pass on this information to others. And those who receive this information, whether they want to use it for profit, for justice, or for the continuation of their race, will definitely take the initiative to pass it on.
That has transcended culture and become a survival instinct, almost ingrained in our DNA, much like how people are afraid of snakes.
"This idea is good, but it's quite difficult to implement. After all, proactively passing on knowledge means that one's reputation can't be too high. If everyone knows about it, there's no need to proactively pass it on. It's really hard to strike the right balance. You can't achieve this level of completion without trying and failing in more than a dozen worlds."
Feng Xue pondered the system of "corruptors" and "Dream Guardian." If he was not mistaken, both the crime frenzy that swept through the Dream World back then and the vaguely mentioned Dream Guardian pioneers in this book were probably tricks orchestrated by this Weird Tale itself.
It's simply too much of a coincidence.
After all, given Feng Xue's shallow understanding of human nature, if such a massive wave of crime had truly swept the world, it would be impossible to suppress it with just the awakening of a small number of people, let alone the possibility of resurrection after death.
When a person who has lost a piece of memory wakes up, he finds that the whole world is burning, killing, and looting. Even if he doesn't commit crimes, he has to fight back. And as long as he kills others, the number of corrupted people will increase. Unless the Dream Guardian Pioneer of that time was a Hanma Alien who could fight against a superpower by himself, Feng Xue would find it hard to understand how one person, or a small group of people, could fight against the whole world and the frantically breeding tide of corrupted beasts.
"If I'm not mistaken, these so-called Great Existence are probably just pseudonyms or underlings... well, they could also be part of Weird Tale cultivation system similar to [Nothingness] and [Player]."
"Although actively instilled memories cannot increase [knowledge], for these Dream Guardian, all mythological knowledge is valuable and must be passed down. This active inheritance, like the roles in textbooks, will strengthen cognition and can also refine powers..."
"However, this approach requires a large number of Phantom Object and Phantom Object delivery mechanism..."
Thinking about this, Feng Xue couldn't help but feel a little Heart Moving, because it seemed that he could do the same thing.
He even suspected that the so-called Fated Death was a complete hoax. Like he said, since you can't see the Book of Life and Death, all those who didn't die could be considered not to Fated Death, while all deaths could be considered Fated Death, right?
Feng Xue even suspected that the idea that the Corrupted Creatures would be replaced by something else after hatching was just a hoax, and that it might actually be the creature itself.
But ultimately, no one dares to gamble on this kind of thing, and it's impossible to disprove it.
"That fire-breathing dragon trick in the garage was brilliant! You never know what kind of amazing skills these veterans can pull off unless you come out and see for yourself. That was truly impressive!"
Feng Xue was impressed by her senior's ingenious ideas, but at the same time, she wondered if she could create something special in this world.
After all, it's not easy to travel back in time like this. If you go back without buying some local specialties, what's the difference between that and traveling without taking photos?
"Careful!"
Just as Feng Xue was lost in thought, a sudden exclamation interrupted his thoughts. Almost instinctively, he reached out and, relying solely on intuition, effortlessly deflected the silent sneak attack from the ghost hand.
After snatching the fruit knife from Ghost Hand's hand, Feng Xue took out a steel ruler from her pocket and hit Ghost Hand's palm twice as punishment, then patted the back of her hand to signal it to go play somewhere else.
He walked out, his veins bulging and his face twitching, having watched the whole thing. He'd completely forgotten what he wanted to say, and after stammering for a long time, he finally managed to utter a single sentence—
"You Obsession Item..."
"You'll get used to it. Don't be fooled by its constant attempts to kill me; it's actually given me powerful close-combat abilities. It's quite interesting, actually. Without these abilities, I wouldn't be able to defend against its attacks." Feng Xue shrugged, explaining casually. Qing Jin nodded slightly, seemingly nonchalantly saying:
"From which being does this Obsession Item originate?"
"It seems to be called 'Xuanjun'." Feng Xue gave an ambiguous reply. He had originally wanted to say Hastur or the King in Yellow, but considering that it might overlap with the existing legends of this world, he gave this name, which seemed a bit out of place.
Qing Jin had no doubts, and simply stroked his chin gently, saying:
"It sounds like the naming convention in Yan Country. Most of the Great Existence in the past had Western-style names. However, considering that the current beings are all related to mythology, even the Feathered Serpent God can be called Ruijin, it doesn't seem strange that there are similar individuals in Yan Country. Do you have any more detailed information? I need to register it."
"Not much. The knowledge I gained is a fragment of a scripture called the 'Seven Chapters of the Mysterious Monarch's Secret Scripture,' which only contains the part about Medical Arts, called the 'Mandrake Longevity Method.' If needed, I can make a copy."
Seeing that Feng Xue's words didn't seem fake, Qing Jin immediately nodded in agreement. Those who could be Dream Guardian generally had some knowledge of occultism. Even if they weren't very proficient, they still had a good eye. Even if it was fake, it didn't matter. At worst, it could just be shelved. But if it was real, it might be able to help future generations.
The two chatted briefly with Xuanjun about the so-called "Mandrake Longevity Method," after which Qing Jin seemed to remember something he had wanted to ask earlier and spoke up:
"By the way, which branch were you affiliated with before? Why is there no record of you at headquarters?"
"Because the Dream Guardian Association doesn't even remember me!" Feng Xue said matter-of-factly. In that instant, Qing Jin almost instinctively took a defensive stance, but then Feng Xue suddenly touched the ring on her finger and became completely unremarkable. In that instant, Qing Jin even forgot Feng Xue's existence, and even forgot why he had taken a defensive stance in the first place.
However, the next moment, Feng Xue reappeared, with an expression that said, "It's all thanks to the ring's power," and casually stated:
"I offended some corruptors before, so I have to carry this Obsession Item with them for a long time to make them forget my existence. However, this thing is not very precise. When I used it, I used too much force and deleted all my information."
P. S.: The reason the Ghost Hand isn't sealed is because it "can do anything." Its ability is a high-end ability that doesn't count towards a chain. Once activated, it will definitely succeed unless the activation conditions are not met.
As long as the prerequisite of "killing the streamer" is met, it can do anything. It was put into the space bag, but since there was no streamer in the space bag, the activation conditions were not met.
Once it's extracted, it enters streamer-killing mode. At this point, it can do anything to help kill the streamer, not just tear apart space, but even overturn the timeline.
Ultimately, you don't need to know so much about comedic things.
