Chapter 709 Life is just a dream

As we all know, the real world is based on basic logic.

Let’s put aside the issue of whether it is scientific or not for now. For a certain thing, there should at least be a context and cause-and-effect logic.

It is impossible for wild Pokémon to spawn infinitely in the grass.

It is impossible for a beautiful girl with rainbow hair to grow up in the school who is ignored by other boys and has a special liking for Asian otakus.

But Chen Laosi did it.

Just when he went out to buy some wine and food to entertain the guests, a few big bad wolves suddenly appeared at home and wanted to eat his mother and son up on the spot.

If Wang Yunxiao had not stayed at his house, his life would probably have taken a decisive turn tonight.

Where did the wolf come from?
Wang Yunxiao was very curious about this question.

With his current keen perception, as long as he calms down, he can hear clearly even the sounds from a street away.

But when he heard the wolves' footsteps and low roars, the beasts had already reached the door.

It was refreshed out of thin air, without even a trace of footprints.

In the past, there was a term in the traditional theater industry called "deus ex machina." Initially, it referred to the physical deus ex machina: halfway through a play, backstage staff would manipulate machinery to make actors pretending to be gods descend from above.

Later, it came to refer to any behavior in which the author could no longer continue writing and had to find a reason to complete the work, such as a fiery meteor falling to the ground and destroying the protagonist and the villain into ashes.

But this is only theoretically true. After all, Wang Yunxiao had encountered a white-haired weasel some time ago.

Within his knowledge, he could only think of three possibilities.

The first one is Qi Zhao’s teleportation ability.

Chen Yan had just started practicing, but he was able to use the ability of "King's Castling" to adjust the formation in time and effectively exert his own combat power.

Wang Yunxiao had even experienced the abilities of a high-level Chess edict, which could easily teleport their entire team to a precise location in the outer dimension.

I think it’s called Stargazer or something…

The second type is the plot of deus ex machina.

It may not be accurate to describe it as "plot", but if Chen Laosi accidentally obtains a secret manual of magical skills and starts practicing, and then his family is unexpectedly broken up, causing his personality to change drastically and he becomes obsessed - Wang Yunxiao has seen enough of this kind of plot when watching movies and reading novels in the past.

If there really is someone plotting in secret and has the ability to interfere with Chen Laosi's fate, it is not surprising that he would want to do such a thing.

It's just that the work was done too roughly.

Unexpected factors, namely the intervention of official forces, were not taken into account.

The third type may not be understandable to ordinary people when explained, but it makes sense logically.

That's Chen Laosi sleepwalking.

He accidentally obtained a secret book of magical skills. He saw words in the book that no one else could see, or it was more like filling in the logical loopholes and trying to explain it in his own mind.

And the wild wolf that suddenly appeared outside the door.

It sounds like a dream.

The real world and the outer dimensions intersect twice a month.

But some special dimensions are not within this range, such as dreams and the underworld.

After all, people dream every day and can die at any time.

But it doesn’t mean that interaction can occur, it’s all one-way.

This again involves basic epistemological concepts.

This is indeed not knowledge that junior high school students should be exposed to. Normal junior high school students don’t even understand how their parents make money to support the family, and they have no psychological burden at all when spending money.

If you ask him to study Olympiad mathematics, he must have the brains for it.

Fortunately, Wang Yunxiao had a good teacher who was serious and responsible.

"To put it simply, it was just his own dream." Wang Yunxiao explained to Youtiao: "It's just that this dream has a wide range and is a collective dream. There are obvious signs of human manipulation behind it."

Humans are creatures that easily dream, and once immersed in a dream, they are reluctant to wake up.

For example, everyone is making a lot of money by investing in stocks, and the Chinese national football team is entering the World Cup...

"How to solve it?"

"It can't be solved."

This is where Wang Yunxiao finds the problem tricky.

He didn't understand how dreams worked, which involved his blind spot in knowledge.

You can fight monsters with health bars, but how do you deal with dreams without health bars? You can control everything, but can you prevent people from dreaming?

"What about taking medicine?"

Youtiao rolled his eyes and came up with a bad idea: "Will taking sleeping pills work?"

"Wouldn't it be better to sleep more if you took sleeping pills?"

"But think about it the other way around, brother. If he gets enough sleep at night, has good sleep quality, and is alert during the day, wouldn't he not have this kind of daydream?"

"..."

It seems reasonable?

Wang Yunxiao thought for a long time but couldn't find any reason to refute.

"We can't let him take medicine all the time."

"You don't have to take medicine all the time. This is a special time. After this period of time is over, we can ask the professionals from the Secret Service to handle it!"

Hiss... makes sense!

Just when Wang Yunxiao made up his mind to give it a try, the sound of a car engine outside came closer and closer, and Chen Yuguang walked in quickly.

"Chief! There's an incident in Maoer Alley!"

Cat Ear Alley?
Wang Yunxiao recalled the relevant information in his mind: "Is it the address of another cultivator?"

"Yes, he was an old beggar, a bachelor, who had practiced the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and always claimed to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect. When the neighbors next door were getting married, he rushed in and slapped the groom to death, snatched the bride and locked her in the house, while he held his elbow in one hand and a wine pot in the other, and sat there feasting..."

"Didn't you invite him?"

"I heard that... but they are not related at all. Who would invite a beggar to a wedding or funeral..."

"To lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"what?"

Looking at Chen Yuguang, who looked anxious but helpless, Wang Yunxiao didn't say much, but just waved his hand.

He had complained at the beginning about why the Secret Service was nominally responsible for handling special matters, but in reality was as cold and heartless as a dead person and didn't care about anything.

Now that I have reached this position, I gradually understand everything.

The enemies are not fools. On the contrary, those who have survived until now are all cunning and cruel opponents.

Faced with the official power that occupies an absolutely dominant position, they will not rush up foolishly like the monsters in the dungeon to give away experience and equipment.

They will resort to all kinds of intrigue and cruelty.

Now Wang Yunxiao and his team had just dealt with Chen Laosi's problem, and Wang Laowu was furious. When they rushed over, maybe Song Laoliu would show up again to cause trouble.

This is the strategy of tiring out the enemy by luring the tiger away from the mountain.

If you don't solve the root cause of the problem, then these problems will be endless and will continue to drag you down and tire you out.

But even if you know this, will you still do it?
