Chapter 1434

NO. 50: Researchers Need Common Sense

In a spliced dream, no dream master can gain control of the world.

Of course, that is what is said, but in fact Mengcheng Chazuo already holds the greatest advantage—she is lucid.

For someone without professional education, having a lucid dream and finding oneself in the dream is purely the probability of drawing a card in a secondary game.

Among hundreds of dreams over several years, perhaps there will be one or two chances to have a dream in which one becomes aware that they are dreaming.

Such an opportunity also depends entirely on timing, location, and harmony; many people may even go several years without experiencing it once.

And even if one fortuitously gets such an opportunity, the lucidity is also extremely limited.

Often, when one has a plan in mind, they instead suddenly wake up, making it difficult to do as they please.

Conversely, for someone like Mengcheng Chazuo who has received professional education, the dream realm is another free expanse, even more free and comfortable than reality.

Even setting aside the power to make wishes come true.

The ability to freely roam a realm separate from reality is itself charming, but unfortunately, here and now an 'invasion' has arrived.

The integrity of the seamless dream was shattered, the dream master's authority temporarily lost, and for a moment Chazuo's advantage remained only her lucidity.

Under normal circumstances, she could still try to control part of her dream, gradually regaining her original permissions in an inefficient way.

But since we speak of normal times, we must note the present difference—amid Karamira's rampant destruction, external consciousness is also expanding recklessly.

Whether intentional or not, reality resembles a losing side in a coloring-game territory seizure, showing her side's decline.

This is quite contrary to common sense.

Because anyone can see that Jiantan Jiee would steadily defeat Karamira.

Even if it's about seizing territory and competing in ability—being able to devour all light, carrying special ionized particles, and even scorching the opponent's shadowy black mist—is undoubtedly a super advantage.

Like Carmila, which at most relies on teleportation to be human‑powered, it's not even worthy of trying to pull a scam.

However, occupying territory on the consciousness level is indeed not calculated by the ability of monster cards.

Even the reverse— the manifestation of a monster card's ability depends on the clash of consciousnesses to determine what bonus can be gained.

This rule is not absolute; just as Aomo would lament that these two cards are unsuitable for the dream stage, there actually exist cards that can shine brightly on the dream stage, twisting the rules so that monsters are honored.

Precisely speaking, it is a monster.

Like Xi's room always having a backup model of the imaginary‑real monster Bajak, like He keeping the sorrow‑and‑joy monster Gninix on standby, or like Aizhi holding the monster‑card form of Loveghost.

And Aomo's hand‑held Eye Q.

These monsters already involve a part of the mental level in their power; even a pure‑real‑destruction resentful monster like Loveghost can stretch its limbs in the dream, overturning the heavens and suppressing the decline on the consciousness level.

But right now this place is very 'fair'.

Everyone follows the rules under normal conditions, no one directly uses a special‑attack monster card, even though Aomo Lindun has a rich deck; at this moment what is liberated is not Eye Q but Hei'an Teliiga, which can suddenly shift Carmila's card's field of vision.

Because he realized the moment he set foot here—

Unlike normal dreams, which are built in a light‑sleep state, rather than saying it is the deep layer of consciousness it is more like the extremely fragile surface layer of consciousness; the foundation of this dream seems exceptionally deep.

So deep that such a clear dream scene ought not to exist.

Just as the most active region of data flow often constructs in the digital world an unstable domain filled with vehicles.

Dreams constructed from consciousness in deep sleep ought to be bizarre and rapidly shifting, not this stable.

He can somewhat sense that this abnormality is related to monster cards, but given his own understanding from talking with Gui She, Shijia, and others about this matter, monster cards alone would not cause such an anomaly.

He had only heard of similar circumstances from Huo'erhaiya, but that was just him joking with himself, and the claim wasn't very reliable; Aomo once dismissed it and tossed it out of his mind.

Whether he remembers it or not is secondary; what matters is that this dream, with its stable underlying consciousness, can essentially be regarded as the underlying consciousness.

Directly interfering with such a place using external monster force easily leaves an impression that lingers after waking, possibly becoming a long‑term psychological shadow.

Therefore Aomo not only set aside Eye Q, but also sealed the cards of the Hei'an Lugi El stream.

However, with You Ling's help, he indeed had no need to use those forces with an overly obvious negative tendency.

Especially given that Chazuo is awake, what he truly needs to deal with is only Suzi, whose heart is already somewhat out of control and then filled by monster cards.

But saying "deal with" really just means waking her up.

Merely leaving her be, merely being angry—still far from the point where she needs to be dealt with.

Right now Chazuo already appears as if he has found where Suzi is, taking a small action with a clear purpose; thus what he truly needs to deal with is the Carmila that carries a hint of Suzi's true nature.

As for her strength, Aomo sees it clearly.

Suzi, relying on her fury and destructive urge, can easily overwhelm Chazuo in the consciousness realm—Chazuo, who made a mistake yesterday and, even without being scolded by Aomo, is already somewhat listless.

One is overly aggressive, the other overly lacking in aggression; now this waxing and waning also shows up in the monster showdown, actually giving the Hei'an giant a chance to single‑handedly suppress the evil god—truly a remarkable sight.

But this remarkable sight ends here.

Even if one borrows Suzi's will for a 'rebirth', the solid‑state information of monster cards cannot restore her true nature.

She is not the true Carmila; instead, she will be swayed by the information contained within the Carmila monster card.

For example, the first black‑gang miss of Ren and Aopeng, her overly obsessive little boyfriend.

Before turning into the golden‑haired sunshine big dog Teliiga, he was still the aloof black wolf Hei'an Teliiga, easily pulling Carmila's field of vision; almost as soon as he stood up, he was already greeted by that lash of light‑band.

However, it did not show effective damage.

Compared to the relatively lightweight Carmila, whose appearance evokes a bare‑shouldered flowing sash like a courtesan performer, Hei'an Teliiga is purely an armored warrior.

The high‑coverage armor easily blocked the dark‑blue light band, then in the next second seized the band itself and dragged it; meanwhile, the Gatanjee that Carmila had once cut off several tentacles of also did not just hang back.

Just as people's stereotype of most tentacled creatures goes, its tentacles are not only backed up but also slowly regenerating.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two Hei'an giants strained against each other with light whips, their tentacles all extended, and in that instant they hid a dark‑purple linear light beam.

【PetrificationRay/Petrification Ray】

It also possesses a piercing effect and is thus called a piercing ray.

It can pierce the opponent's body, seize their light, turn it into a stone statue whose consciousness remains, and subject it to eternal torment.

Never mind whether the Hei'an giant's energy is also light; in the tens of seconds when they formed a mutual check, the giants' essential contradiction already came to an end.

A certain little girl who was still conducting dark research in a small room stared in astonishment at the four people who had burst in, her gaze especially fixed on the one among the four who looked so alike, differing only in a bit of height, on the double tea seat.

The same expression and the tuft of hair on her head were nothing like the Zhouri Ningjing from her restored memory.

"I… am I hallucinating?"

"Normally speaking, you're dreaming." Aomo said seriously.

"What nonsense! Tunshu Jun, you think it's abnormal to be dreaming! How could I dream of you breaking in and disturbing my experiment?! And such a logical conversation! By the way, why is that woman also here?"

Pointing at the one who silently lifted the gourd and took another sip, Ling, Suzi frowned.

Then, belatedly feeling the earth shake and mountains sway, she instinctively steadied the test bench beside her, turned her head, and saw outside the window a gigantic leg slowly turning to stone.

"……" She remained silent.

She didn't know whether it was due to the shock of the gigantic stone leg outside the window, or because she couldn't recall her previous development memories.

"Because you're dreaming."

And the trainer merely reiterated.

"Because you're dreaming, so she's here too, so we're all here."
