Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 292 Dream Demon
Gong Zheng was driving a reinforced car on Emerald Avenue.

The summer is still hot, but the car is quite cool.

Nowadays, the company's official cars are all equipped with the latest refrigeration boxes, which use special copper pipes to exhaust smoke, so that a small chimney that spits out gray smoke has been added to the roof of the car, giving it a feeling similar to that of a steam locomotive.

Zhou Yi and Yuan Xiao sat in the back seat.

The girl-like angel of death looked out the window, somewhat absent-minded.

She pinched her fingers gently. “Healers are different from us hunters. They are born with the inclination to heal other lives and can repair those damaged and broken consciousnesses.”

"Their chances of being born are extremely low. After I sensed it in the Dead Sea, I initially felt it was unreal. It wasn't until I saw him that I was sure it was real."

"The ability of a healer is a great help to those with impaired consciousness, but it is a double-edged sword for the healer himself."

"Their ability is 'consciousness puzzle', which allows them to find the missing parts of a broken consciousness and complete them. If they repair a consciousness, they will receive strong positive feedback from it, and this ability will be enhanced."

"But this ability is just like my "Death Transformation". As a force that can change life, it comes at a price."

Yuan Xiao said in a deep voice: "The price he paid is that a [Dream Demon] will be bred in his body."

"In order to repair consciousness, doctors need to immerse themselves in the world of various consciousnesses. During the repair process, they will also be continuously attached to and eroded by a large number of consciousnesses, and gradually they will form strange monsters composed of consciousness fragments, nightmares."

"With each repair, the nightmare will become stronger and stronger. It will initially piece together the fragments of consciousness into its own body. After a certain point, the fragments of consciousness can no longer satisfy it, and the nightmare will attack the healer until the healer's consciousness is eaten away and then leave."

"At that time, the nightmare demon will have entered its complete form. It will enter and exit the dreams of every life, hunting for the fragments of consciousness it needs."

Zhou Yi frowned: "Is there no way to eliminate the nightmare?"

"If the nightmare is eliminated, the doctor will also die. The nightmare is essentially the evolution of the ability of "consciousness puzzle."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel that the situation was tricky.

It's really difficult.

“So in the end, there are only two paths.”

Yuan Xiao's expression unconsciously became serious: "Most doctors will be eaten by nightmares, and only very few can tame nightmares."

“But after taming the nightmare, it will enter the other side of the world of consciousness and disappear without a trace. But this is the best ending.”

Zhou Yi pondered in his heart.

It is no wonder that there are so few angels reporting death. Although they are gifted, their life trajectories are difficult as hell.

Either you kill everyone and then die, or you practice medicine everywhere and end up dying.

Neither of them is a good ending.

"So your words, Chairman, gave me a reminder."

A gleam of light flashed in Yuan Xiao's eyes: "We can't escape this death cycle by relying on ourselves. But if we leverage other external forces or new technologies, we may have a chance."

"It's like the company has developed alien flight technology. From the discovery of the Dead Sea aliens until now, they have always been ground monsters with extremely strong land dominance. But now they can also fly! This was considered impossible in the past."

"Another thing is that aliens cannot communicate with the outside world. This has been recognized and experienced for many years, but it has also been broken now. United City has alien connections, and can even communicate with other aliens remotely. Chairman of the company, you can do the same."

"Since the ancient aliens can change their fate, we also have a chance."

She maintains a positive optimism.

Zhou Yi nodded: "Nothing is impossible."

Who could have imagined in the past when I lived that the world would be drowned by light and destroyed?

The car slowly stopped beside the mushroom forest.

Zhou Yi and Yuanxiao got off the car.

"There's iced Coke in the cooler in the trunk of the car. Take some."

He reminded, "Sun Hao likes to drink that."

"okay."

The girl simply picked up the entire refrigerator with one hand.

Fine.

Zhou Yi walked all the way inside and heard a mezzo-soprano with a slightly smoky voice from a distance.

"How many states are there in heaven? Who can tell me?"

Mechanical and electrical teacher Diamond is giving a class.

There was an open-air classroom in front of us. The giant mushrooms around it blocked the sun, so it wasn't hot.

A dozen black hand mushrooms were sitting on stone benches, each with a strengthening controller on the table in front of them. They were listening to the teacher's lecture at the podium.

Behind the mechanical and electrical teacher was a projection screen with the Chinese title "History of the Kingdom of Heaven" appearing on it, with some very vivid pictures below.

"166, you answer."

The black hand mushroom that was named stood up: "51 states!"

"That's right, so where is the capital?"

"Zhongzhou, Liming City."

"Very well, sit down."

After sitting down, Black Hand Mushroom looked around proudly.

Zhou Yi saw that Sun Hao was sitting in the last row, and there were two other human workers sitting in the same row, also listening attentively.

The class ended after waiting for twenty minutes.

Zhou Yi went to find Diamond to find out what was going on, and also to give the two angels of death some time alone.

"Chairman, the black mushrooms are smarter and more active than I expected. They are very good children and students."

The mechanical and electrical teacher's voice was light and cheerful: "Thank you very much for equipping us with complete equipment. This is of great significance for them to understand the knowledge intuitively."

Zhou Yi asked: "Don't we have a special classroom?"

He had just used Emerald City to build a row of houses specifically for use as a school in the Mushroom Forest.

“Those classrooms are great, it’s just that the kids here don’t like them.”

Diamond said: "They are life forms born from nature and prefer to be in an external natural environment. So I usually give lectures outside. The open classroom itself makes them more relaxed. Anyone who wants to come and listen to the lecture can join at any time." "I see."

Zhou Yi asked, "How are the students progressing in their studies?"

"I have 23 students who regularly participate in my open classes. They have fully participated in all the courses so far and their learning progress is the fastest. In addition, some company employees also come to listen to my classes and learn."

The mechanical and electrical teacher said: "History is the easiest subject for students to learn, because history is made up of events, which itself has the appeal of ups and downs. Many students have excellent grades in history in exams."

“Language courses are much more difficult.”

"Because I teach the traditional language of electromechanical programming, it is more difficult for non-electromechanical life to understand. However, there are also a few very good students who have completely kept up with the progress. Black Mushroom 102, Chen Ji, and Beta are the best learners."

"I recommended the three of them to the head of 703. They are now studying with me while working as assistants in the Program Department, helping out in the field and applying their knowledge."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Diamond said: "The greatest achievement for a teacher is to see students learn and grow well, and make their own contributions to the progress of this society and the world. I like my current working environment and these students very much."

Zhou Yi then asked formally: "Um...how is Sun Hao doing in his studies?"

“He is studying hard.”

Diamond paused. "Sun Hao is very interested in history, but his performance in programming languages is not very good. In general, he seems to be insensitive to numbers and calculations, and it can even be said that he has difficulty with them."

"In the most recent test, Sun Hao's history score was 65 out of 5, and his electromechanical language score was out of ."

Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat.

In terms of studying, it is exactly the same as Yuanxiao.

I can only say that they are truly a family.

"However, different students have different interests. Sun Hao is interested in medical treatment. At Maria Hospital, he learns very quickly and has gradually helped some patients with consciousness treatment."

Diamond said: "Although he has difficulty learning in some areas, Sun Hao has been working hard to understand a lot of knowledge. With this kind of persistence and self-discipline, I believe he will definitely be a good doctor."

Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he has some understanding of how parents feel when they go to teachers to find out about their children's situation.

At first I was nervous, then I was in a state of panic, and then I thought to myself, it’s all over... I ended up getting a little comfort from my teacher.

Zhou Yi looked back and was stunned.

Yuanxiao and Sun Hao sat in silence, looking like complete strangers, keeping their distance from each other.

It looks like it's been quiet for a long time.

Zhou Yi went over to break the deadlock: "Sun Hao, how are you feeling recently? I heard from the teacher that you are learning very quickly in the hospital."

Facing Zhou Yi, the black-robed boy seemed much more relaxed: "Father, I don't have a talent for programming languages. At the hospital, I got the consent of Dean Da Vinci and now I am the assistant of Doctor Feng Ying."

"Doctor Feng will perform rehabilitation therapy on some patients, and I will also examine and repair their consciousness bodies."

"Treating those patients, whether they are skeletons or ordinary humans, makes me feel very confident."

"nice! You love it."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Yuan Xiao told me about the nightmares that will be bred in your body... How do you feel now?"

"Is that what you're talking about?"

Sun Hao stretched out his hand, and a small shadow monster about the size of a tennis ball slowly emerged in his hand.

It has a horn on each side of its head and a pair of hollow white eyes, somewhat like an owl with its wings folded.

"It doesn't do me any harm at the moment."

The boy said, "It will eat the harmful fragments of consciousness, usually the parts of pain and despair. This will allow the consciousness to mend itself and avoid continued tearing and breaking."

The shadow monster looked around in his hand, looking like a little pet.

Zhou Yi's [Alertness] could not see any white light on it, indicating that it was indeed not an independent life.

"You have to learn to control it, or it will eat you."

Yuanxiao next to him finally spoke.

Sun Hao said: "Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful."

A very polite reply.

The attitude is very clear, that is, they are not familiar with each other.

Finally, Yuanxiao handed him the Coke in the refrigerator, and then Sun Hao distributed it to other Black Hand Mushroom classmates.

……

On the way back by car.

Yuanxiao looked out the window and whispered, "Sun is much better than Nian Gao. He is more patient and polite, not impatient. Fortunately, he met you."

"Chairman, thank you, thank you."

"I will do a good job for the company."

She looked serious.

Zhou Yi was very satisfied. Sincerity was indeed the most powerful killer move.

"that."

Yuan Xiao suddenly said: "I have an idea, Chairman, doesn't Sun Hao recognize you as his father now? If we get married in the human way, will he immediately call me mother? This is the fastest way! Can you please just marry me..."

Zhou Yi’s smile froze.

"Don't do those crooked things! Where did you learn that?"

"There is such a story in the history of the Age of Gods, where a stepmother becomes a biological mother or something..."

“Don’t learn this part!”

"Oh."
