Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 13 Wild Dreams
How did evil come into being?

Duan Mingyuan had thought about this question more than once, but unfortunately he did not find the answer to this question until he gave up this industry.

There were many objective factors involved. For example, he only had about two hours of activity time every day, and school was over at 5:30 p.m., and he had to make sure he got home before 8 p.m., buy some food on the way, and then complete the homework assigned by the teacher.

As he said, there are many things in this world that are much more terrifying than the existence of evil spirits, and not being able to hand in homework is one of them.

The strict class teacher restricted his performance.

And now, Fuling's arrival provides him with another perspective.

Assuming that the coma of the sanitation worker and the band drummer are directly related to the dissipation of the evil spirit, it means that the birth of the evil spirit is not an independent individual, but an abnormal creature bred by humans.

If I understand it in a simpler way...

“The sanitation workers and drummers are actually stand-ins.”

The death of the "stand-in" caused their original body to fall into a coma and become a vegetable.

As soon as these words were spoken, the living room fell into deathly silence. Everyone looked at Duan Mingyuan with shocked eyes, especially Jiu Yue. She really didn't expect that someone as serious as Mr. Mingyuan would suddenly tell a joke in such an occasion.

How do you describe it?

Deadpan comedian!

The type of person who appears serious on the surface but can suddenly tell a joke!

Seeing this, Duan Mingyuan explained to them considerately, "This is a concept proposed in a comic book that I really liked in high school. It assumes that evil spirits are an extension of human spiritual energy, and their existence is closely related to humans themselves. So once one disappears, it will inevitably have a great impact on the other."

"An abnormal thing born from the negative energy of the human spirit..."

Fuling wrote down the important information she extracted from this cold joke, and decided to ask her assistant to send her the complete set of comic resources of the work mentioned by Duan Mingyuan after returning home tonight.

If we put aside the concept of a substitute, Duan Mingyuan's view on this matter is highly consistent with hers. The difference in their identities makes them use different names for the same thing.

She secretly thanked her lucky stars that she had made the right trip.

According to the company's information, the mourning bird is a monster that foretells death and brings disaster to people, but this time it brought her good luck.

"One of the research topics of the Life Science Department is the life energy of humans... no, it should be said that it is the life energy of living things."

Different from the imaginative settings in fictional works, the company's research has achieved phased results. So far, the research has proved the existence of life energy, of which Duan Mingyuan and monsters are the best proof. "According to the company's records, some individuals who are different from ordinary people have appeared in Yunlong City. They can see things that ordinary people cannot see with their naked eyes, and some can even perceive the abnormal world outside of reality. Mr. Duan Mingyuan, you are one of them.

“I noticed this phenomenon when I was transferred to this city. However, compared to illusory talents and bloodlines, the company believes more in tangible data. Therefore, I have conducted in-depth research on this group of people over the past few years and came to a conclusion - the reason why they can connect with the world outside of reality is because their genetic structure is different from that of ordinary people.

"However, we have not yet discovered the genetic pattern of this sequence. The company has always advocated pragmatism, and 'being able to see abnormal things' is not attractive enough."

With the technology currently mastered by the company, they can detect the existence of evil spirits and monsters without the help of this kind of special people.

The fact that one can see evil spirits has no substantial benefits other than bringing unnecessary burdens to life. Those individuals who have been recorded do not have the ability to fight against evil spirits. In the event of an evil spirit attack, the only difference between them and ordinary people is probably that they know how they died.

The company's research on evil spirits itself has not been going smoothly. The lack of attention for the project means that the company will not allocate more resources to them. Experiments have shown that the equipment currently equipped by the company has little effect on this kind of existence beyond the physical level.

However, the appearance of Duan Mingyuan brought a turning point to the entire research project.

Among these special groups of people, there will also be individuals like him who can control this energy. "Assuming this theory is true, evil spirits are an extension of human spiritual energy. Is it possible for us to help them control this energy through some means?"

There was a dazzling gleam in Fuling's eyes. She stared at Duan Mingyuan's eyes, eager to get constructive advice from this industry insider.

The sudden excitement made the bird of mourning in his arms shiver, making him realize that this meeting did not seem to be just a simple greeting as Fuling said.

The topic suddenly became extremely dangerous, and it quietly changed from what he imagined as "how to unite together to fight against evil spirits" to "how to create evil spirits."

"I do not know."

This undoubtedly touched upon Duan Mingyuan's blind spot in knowledge. He got this answer when he asked this question online in high school.

Perhaps sanitation workers or drummers need to be shot by an arrow marked with an insect in order to fully master this power. Otherwise, the evil spirit will be like an absurd dream full of blood and destruction to them, allowing them to indulge in their evil thoughts in their dreams.

The above is the conclusion he drew from the two reports that Fuling placed on the table.

In addition to personal information and interpersonal relationships, the two stacks of information also listed in detail everything the two had done in the past month. In front of the company, they seemed to have no privacy at all. Even their private hobbies and craftsmanship were under the company's surveillance.

The above also mentioned several disappearance cases that occurred in the past month, and the victims disappeared forever in their "dreams".

The sanitation worker had no idea what was happening to him, but the drummer was vaguely aware of the changes in himself.

He called it a "wild dream" in his diary. He became the master of these dreams and used cruel means to get rid of some people he disliked. At the end of the diary, he mentioned that he found a dirty partner in that cruel world.

In "Wild Dreams", the drummer draws inspiration from dreams and intends to incorporate these bloody and sinful elements into the creation of the band's next album.

"Is it?"

Fuling did not hide her disappointment. "I thought an expert like you would know."

She didn't ask any further questions, and she never hoped that one visit would solve all the problems.

For corporate people, a friendly meeting is the beginning of cooperation.

She took out the gift she had prepared from the inside pocket of her clothes - a pair of blue-framed monocular glasses with a metallic texture and the "Made in the World" mark engraved on the frame.

"This is an energy tester developed by the Life Science Department. It is used to detect normal energy fluctuations. It is a special gift I prepared for you."

After saying that, he took out a business card and put it under his glasses.

"The company needs people like you. If you are interested, feel free to call this number."

Half an hour passes in a flash, and punctuality is a basic quality for company employees.

Fuling stood up and walked to the door, glancing at Jiuyue's furry tail reluctantly, "I look forward to our next meeting, Mr. Duan Mingyuan."

She lowered her eyes, thoughtful.

The name may be wrong, but the nickname will never be wrong.

The common saying she heard in Yunlong City did make some sense.
