Chapter 793: Concerning the Pillars of the World
Another interesting term - the Great Dream Possession Method.

Xia Shou thought that the notes referred to the effect of wearing the mask. Van Cleef was a person in the book. He put on the mask and traveled from the book to reality.

Xia Shou himself had done something similar before. From the diary he kept during his illness in the book, combined with the experience of the nameless person in the recollection of "Reaching the Pinnacle in No One", we can roughly infer the effect of this spell.

Using a special mask as a medium, when a person falls asleep, he can transfer his consciousness to the wearer of the mask, just like taking over another person's body. The scope of consciousness transfer is so large that it can even cross narrative levels. It can be seen as a very powerful spell.

But according to the Death Note, using this spell seems to require certain prerequisites, which Van Cleef does not seem to meet.

Although Xia Shou was very curious, he did not intend to dig deeper. Just like what the rote notes said, the words that could be produced in a fixed time were limited, and every word produced must be able to play a direct role in improving the current situation.

Let's just write the ascension ceremony in the notes first, and put aside some doubts that cannot be discussed to a conclusion.

Although the current situation is still a mess, the path to take is clear.

Just as Jin Fenglong said, become as strong as possible. The stronger you are, the more say you will have in button politics. If you can really sit at the negotiating table in the end, perhaps you will know everything that happened to him.

"Oh, right, the pillar of the world." Xia Shou remembered this nickname.

The man who seemed to be a member of the choir club met at Mrs. Duer's house claimed to be a human pillar of the Scepter Council.

Xia Shou knew that the Scepter Council was the highest decision-making body of the Control Bureau, but what was the Pillar of the World? It sounded like a more senior leader.

"Since it is the nickname of the Control Bureau, if there really is such a level, it should be possible to find it directly." Xia Shou turned on the computer and typed these four words into the search bar of the official website.

【Scepter Council-Pillar of the World】

[Introduction: An urban legend that emerged in 2000 and subsequently swept across the entire supernatural world. Although the Control Bureau refuted this rumor, the subsequent rumors became increasingly intense, making the Control Bureau's refutation insignificant.

After the first few years, the control bureau carried out intensive public rumor-refuting campaigns. After failing to achieve good results, it announced its last rumor-refuting campaign in 2005.

However, each subsequent incident caused by the rumor had a strong impact, so when a new rumor related to the Pillars of the World arises, the Control Bureau will still come forward to refute it. 】

"No way, is it a rumor?" Xia Shou didn't quite believe it.

He continued reading and found that the archive contained a large number of rumor-mongering articles, and also sorted out the origins of the rumors and arranged the development history of this urban rumor in chronological order.

[In 2000, an urban article about the Control Bureau [Pillars of the World] appeared on DreamNet. The uploader of the article was a very famous intelligence dealer on DreamNet, "My shit is mixed with intelligence scraps." (The nickname will be shortened to "I La" in the following.)
"Wo La" posted on the Internet that he had discovered the top secret of the Control Bureau. In the decision-making body composed of all the Control Bureaus, there are thirteen most powerful people who are called the pillars of the world.

The Scepter Council is the highest administrative body of the Control Bureau and has the highest decision-making power. Its members are the directors of all branches and some important core members who are specially authorized to participate.

On the surface, the parliament votes unanimously, but behind the Scepter Parliament, there are several most special managers. Each of them has a veto power, and if they pass a resolution unanimously, the Control Bureau can enforce it, no matter how outrageous the decision is.

As soon as this article was published, it attracted ridicule from all netizens. Although the Control Bureau is often ridiculed by netizens on the Internet, everyone knows how powerful the Control Bureau is in reality. No one would take it seriously that such a huge organization that can influence the fate of the world is ruled by a few people.

However, as "Wo La" continued to release his analytical articles, this highly entertaining article began to slowly shift towards serious entertainment.

In other words, the originally one-sided ridicule turned into a large group of people adding fuel to the fire. Netizens began to spontaneously fabricate various facts to enrich the content of the rumor, which turned the rumor into a huge text with bloated settings in just a few days.

While "Wolah" continued to throw out a lot of serious and evidence-free false information, he also began to fabricate the strength levels of the pillars of the human world.

In the original setting of the Pillars of the World, the Pillars of the World were described as having an abnormal level of each being above level six, which is EX level.

They possess a variety of extraordinary abilities, some innate and some acquired, which allow them to fully cope with physical and mental attacks. In addition to these two, each of them has the ability to defend against certain conceptual attacks.

They can adapt to extremely complex battles. The number of extraordinary people below level six is ​​meaningless in their eyes. They are literally like ants. Extraordinary people above this level must have the ability to defend against physical and mental attacks 24 hours a day to be qualified to stand in front of them.

Note: (That is to say, even if a Level 6 Transcendent has the ability to maintain absolute mental and physical defense, if he cannot use this defense passively, he is not qualified to fight against the Pillars of the World)

The following is part of the original post from 2000:
“That is to say, if there were no abnormal bodies and phenomena in this world, then a human pillar would be like a superman in a world without supernatural powers. One person could sweep the entire world.

And the Control Bureau now has thirteen such supermen!
When I heard the news, I was glad that I lived in such a dangerous world. Although there are all kinds of horrible anomalies and madness that invade us, at least a certain balance is maintained. Otherwise, we would be like an NPC in a single-player game played by a cheater. "

Immediately afterwards, "Wo La" began to reveal more specific content, such as battle records.

He said he knew exactly what the Pillars of the Human World had done, and as far as he knew, one of the Pillars, codenamed "13", single-handedly killed a human form of the Splitting Shear.

Note: (This human body may have existed, because a Level 5 supernatural being later said that he had met another mysterious person who could not be affected by his supernatural power. A few months later, this mysterious person was found drowned in a river.

Assuming that what this extraordinary person said is true, then the level of this mysterious person is above level five. If it was this mysterious person himself who drowned in the river, then the local control bureau did not find any signs of the escape of cursed power.

This feature is consistent with the characteristics of the human body, that is, the death of the human body will not cause the dissipation of cursed power. ■■■■[DATA EXPUNGED])

This information, which was disclosed ahead of the Bureau's intelligence, was confirmed by the Tower of Babel and the Library of Humanity in the following days. This greatly increased the credibility of "Ira" and the rumors about the Pillar of the World further fermented.

The Control Bureau publicly refuted the rumor, offered a reward for "Wo La", and issued a notice that the reward would be lifted as long as "Wo La" was willing to withdraw the rumor.

However, this request was rejected by Wo La. During the same period, Wo La fled with the cooperation of some forces and began to make more statements without evidence.

The article that led to the rumor being completely accepted by the public was "The Pillar of the World Seals the Sea Urchin Octopus" published by another newly registered "Anonymous User 900521"...】
