Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 128 Mental Change
"So you had two dreams last night?" William held the steering wheel with one hand, only part of his sight was on the Yellow River in front of him, and most of it was wandering on the hills along the coast, always controlling the course in the middle of the river.

Since returning to the ship, freed of that mistrust of the rocky ground beneath his feet, his mental state had improved with the voyage, and would have been better if it hadn't been for someone's repeated night startles.

The river is calm and does not require much energy to turn the rudder frequently, so the captain can still chat with the visitors.

"If dreaming of waking up is also considered waking up, there are two." Probably no one has invented a standard definition method, and Kraft doesn't know whether to distinguish it from coherence or content, so he can only describe it in general, "Two Nested, connected dreams."

"Dreams within dreams are not uncommon."

"But the content is very special, so I want to know if you have dreamed about those things recently." Based on the principle of parallel comparison, only a control sample can reveal the difference. After experiencing these things, who can guarantee that it is not What's wrong with being scared?

Since you want to compare, you have to ensure that the conditions are similar.The only people here who have had a deep experience together are Cooper and William.

The former did not sleep well, but most of it was related to the first hands-on.This squire made good use of the results of his special training, was able to swing the weapon correctly, and delivered the hammer to every enemy at an appropriate speed without hurting himself.

After breaking away from the tense battle, the death numbness caused by intense emotions ebbs faster than the half-life of short-acting drugs.

When the sun came out the next day, I could clearly see the achievements I had made, and the excitement of being recognized for the first time as an intern last night was completely gone, followed by a kind of confusion and fear-people can So fragile.

I can see myself in the body of the dead.Since life can be quickly drained from those human or non-human wounds, when the same fate finds himself, life will not stay for him for a second.

Content related to violence and death has plagued Coop for some time.He also turned to Kraft for guidance, but Kraft had no direct experience of why people inflict such horrific violence on their own kind, and how to reconcile themselves.

The indirect experience from the elders said that the veterans he knew rarely had similar situations, and even if they did, they passed quickly.Now that I think about it, it's probably survivor bias.

As a result, content related to broken bones, collapsed chest cavity, and unfettered blood frequented dreams, and Mr. Sui must rely on himself to pass this level and truly obtain the "certificate of qualification".

And Kraft also confirmed that Kupp's situation was completely different from his own, and boarded the deck to find William who seemed to be suffering from "terraphobia".

Apparently, the latter didn't want to talk about hills and caves, especially those related to the deep.He turned his head away, stroked his drier beard, and coughed twice, probably indicating that he heard it.

Then there was no text.The two stood in the crosswind with the smell of earth in the valley, watching the sailors adjust the angle of the mainsail.Stepping on the beat of the rhythmic and friendly northern accent boat song, the transom is pulled to the correct position step by step to ensure that the boat will not be blown to a certain side of the river.

Of course, this is also William's request.Even though the occasional blue and yellow vegetation spots on the short hills by the bank show that they are approaching the edge of the southern hills, when you pay attention, the lingering black hollows still appear everywhere on the mountain from time to time, each of which shows that terrible thing The existence of the larger ones is still clearly visible across the wide river.

He would imagine that in the distant ages, they dominated the surface of the earth like whales dominated the sea, jumping out frequently, throwing rocks, waves and rain.The devastated South Downs bear witness to that dreadful time.

The distance of tens of meters from the shore does not make him feel safe when he sees those holes, and he often has to watch them disappear completely from sight and enter the next twist of the river.

Perhaps only when he enters the familiar ocean and can't see half of the land, can he really feel at ease.

Fortunately, this goal is not far away. When it reaches the confluence with the Tem River, the mouth of the sea is far away, and then it is the sea trip back to the Port of Consolation.

"In two days, we can enter the Tume River and say goodbye to these things forever." William turned his head back, his eyes always made people feel that he was always on guard against the hills along the coast, and he rarely stopped for a moment, "I can't let you How many days is Ansheng?"

There was some resentment in his tone, like a ghost who hadn't slept for days.It's understandable that he wouldn't be at peace if someone occupied his exclusive space for days on end, making constant nighttime noises, drawing swords into the air, and talking about horrific real-life dreams that debilitated him.Even if that person just took his life out of hell.

Half of the transformation of William's beard from the oily and high-grade fur to the unkempt grass in the southern hills is deep, and the bad air environment accounts for [-]%. The rest is all due to Kraft.

"Just a simple question, I promise I won't describe those things to you, okay?" Kraft raised his hands to indicate that he was absolutely harmless, and gave up telling William about the series of encounters in the deep depths of Wendeng Port, so as not to give him The already unstable mental state and hair quality were even worse.

In the two successive contact experiences, Kraft unexpectedly discovered that he might be a little different by observing the reactions of others.

Taking William and Kupp as examples, the huge impact has somewhat changed their three views.The crawling thing in the deep tide destroyed the influence of the Church in half his life at one time, and changed Kupu's outlook on life to a certain extent.William was more significantly affected by this experience, directly reversing his perception of water and land.

Kraft, on the other hand, displayed a kind of uncanny stability.He didn't know if he should describe it like this, even if everything else was put aside, the near-death experience alone was enough impact; the conflict between the merger of new senses, layer transfer and normal senses was not harmonious, not to mention the whole mental illness. A little functional impairment is nothing more than normal.

In fact, before this, he had never experienced any abnormalities that would affect his normal life.So after days of nightmares, in addition to reflecting on my mental state, consideration of other possibilities is also on the agenda.

"Alright alright."

It seems that if you don't answer this question today, you won't be able to drive Kraft away. William reluctantly recalled his sleeping conditions in recent days.Truth be told, the closest thing to a nightmare is Kraft's narration.There seems to be a kind of magic in that description, and the words are filled with an atmosphere beyond words, pouring those deep and unreasonable experiences into the mind.

The narrator himself is not aware of this, while the listener tosses and turns with the feeling of being on the scene again and cannot fall asleep, and finally falls asleep when he is physically unable to support himself. This exhaustion of being forced to stay up all night makes him sleep better. Very fragrant, not even the energy to dream.

"No, I don't have such symptoms at all. I hope to hear something more pleasant next time I come, such as how we can turn this secret into a pile of gold coins." Now only the original intention of this journey— — Westminster coins to soothe his soul.As for Kraft, it's better to disappear from the deck earlier.
