Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 601 I Also Want to Have a Dream

Forbidden Continent (Part 2)

Under the surging currents, the ocean appears deep and silent.

This is an area of ​​extreme high pressure, and no life can be seen or exist nearby. Only bubbles float up from time to time, indicating that some kind of activity is taking place here.

At that moment, a pinkish-white brain intruded into this silent zone.

It slowly moved toward the trench below, where the brains of creatures attached to the seabed were scattered everywhere, as if performing some kind of eerie sacrificial ritual.

Two high-level dream demons watched all of this from afar.

Mayfly stared intently at the lone, sailing Brain Ark: "The company's evil brain, can it really modify other similar entities?"

Canghai Jun said calmly, "We'll know once we see."

Although they were old friends, Ephemeral could clearly sense that the person in front of him had changed a lot.

When Canghaijun first came to him, he was happy but also puzzled.

Since he is still alive, why doesn't he contact us, the weavers?

How did he escape? What was he doing during those years when he was out of contact?
for all this.

Canghai Jun only said, "It's a company secret, so I can't disclose it."

He joined a booming wasteland development company.

Mayfly's first reaction was that Ocean Lord had been controlled. While it's not uncommon for dream demons to be controlled, this was the first time Weaver Lord, as the top decision-maker of the dream demon clan, had witnessed such a situation.

No matter how much Mayfly Lord tried to probe, Ocean Lord remained silent.

His personality remains the same.

If he's unwilling, there's nothing you can do to change his mind.

Among the eighteen textile masters of the same era, Canghai Jun was famous for his arrogance and willful ways.

But that's not a bad thing.

In the world of weaving, there needs to be members like myself who never get angry or act impulsively, as well as those with a strong will and arrogance. Like eighteen layers of dreams, where beautiful dreams and nightmares intertwine, it is what makes the dreamer both love and fear them.

What Ephemeral Lord didn't expect was that Canghai Lord's personality would actually make him yield and submit to an outsider.

The power of the Wasteland Company is beyond doubt. Chairman Zhou Yi is incredibly strong and can even manipulate the election of the Celestials, turning Madam Mei, whom the Dream Demon Clan had worked so hard to push into power, into a prisoner in an instant.

It's understandable that Canghai Jun, who was trapped in the evil mind, was rescued by him and then repaid his debt of gratitude.

Even so, Mayfly still felt something was wrong.

Even if Canghai-jun is repaying a debt of gratitude, he shouldn't be so humble as he is now... Dream demons are immortal beings, and Zhizao-jun is one of the best among them.

The Holy Spirit is a realm that Zhou Yi cannot influence or control.

What evil has bewitched Canghai Jun?

Mayfly was filled with doubt.

He looked at his old friend, who was both familiar and unfamiliar: "What do you do at the wasteland company?"

Canghai Jun said, "He is the chief physician of the Department of Psychiatry at Maria Hospital, and also serves as the company's awareness consultant."

"What did Zhou Yi promise you that made you stand on the company's side like this?"

Mayfly didn't understand.

In this world, there is practically nothing that the Dream Demon Clan cannot obtain.

Material wealth measured in the Light Seed, the wealth of consciousness within the Great Holy Spirit, and an almost immortal ecosystem—these are things that other life forms dream of, and the Weavers are born with all of this.

What else could possibly bind Canghai Jun firmly to this new ship?

The only thing that Ephemeral could think of was...

"You know the company has a way to deal with the evil mind, so you're staying here?"

Canghai Jun adjusted his glasses: "That's one reason, but not the key one. Let's finish the task at hand first."

Mayfly noticed.

The company's evil mind made contact with other brains in this trench.

Time passed by minute by minute.

About two hours later.

One of the local brains that had been touched suddenly floated to the surface and began to slowly drift like some kind of aquatic creature.

Then came the second brain, the third brain...

These special monsters, which were attached to the trench, are now rapidly dismantling and breaking apart their once inseparable alliance.

They swam into the body of the nearby black man, where they were sucked in one by one and then taken away.

This change filled Ephemeral with both joy and surprise.

The good news is that the company does indeed have a way to deal with evil minds.

What's astonishing is how effective this method is. Such a large-scale nest of evil minds was breached from within by just one modified evil mind sent by the company...

This indicates that the Wasteland Corporation possesses the core technology in this area. If they were to manipulate the Evil Brains to fight the Nightmares, they would be far more dangerous than the current swarm of Evil Brains.

Canghai Jun, who was standing next to him, suddenly said, "Are you worried that the company will use this to deal with the Dream Demon Clan?"

Mayfly asked in return, "Aren't you worried?"

"Worrying is useless."

Canghai Jun remained calm: "The most important thing for a dream demon is to learn to adapt to the times, and this has never changed from ancient times to the present. What needs to change is the thinking of contemporary dream demons."

"If the company really wanted to take action against the Nightmare group, do you think they would show you these things?"

Mayfly frowned: "What's your stance exactly? Are you on our side, or on the company's side?"

"Of course, I'll stand with the company."

Canghai Jun's answer was without hesitation: "One should do one's job in one's position. I am no longer the Weaving Lord. According to the established practice, I am now retired. You are in charge of the matters of dream demons and dreams. I have my own mission."

"The company doesn't consider Nightmare an enemy?" Ephemeral seemed to have grasped a bit of the situation.

"of course not."

His old friend glanced at him: "Isn't that your main purpose for coming here? Are you relieved now?"

Even if the mayfly knew, it couldn't hide it from the other party.

"That's how it was originally... After all, we spent a huge amount of money to cultivate Madam Mei, and then she was gone... Apart from the Slaughtering Duke, she was the one everyone had the most faith in. Madam Mei herself was good at business, and she had industries and experience in the Forbidden Continent. We have always had difficulty intervening in the Forbidden Continent, and we originally thought we could break the ice."

He said, "The agency business was originally a monopoly of the nightmare demons, with no comparable competition. Your chairman suddenly made an agency disappear without a trace. Anyone would feel wary and uneasy about that."

"But it's good now. Everyone can speak frankly, which saves a lot of unnecessary probing and haggling."

Mayfly smiled and said, "Personally, I quite like Mr. Zhou's style. To do big things, you have to be decisive and quick. He made the negotiation process much easier for me."

"However, Mr. Zhou has accumulated enough technology to suppress nightmares, yet he has always maintained peaceful relations with us and has not made any exorbitant demands... This is truly puzzling to me."

After some build-up...

Mayfly looked at the other person: "What exactly are you doing? Or rather, what exactly is Mr. Zhou doing?"

Canghai Jun's answer remained unchanged: "Company secret, inconvenient to disclose."

"Let me guess."

"Although the company is not among the top-tier in terms of size, its actual reach, monopolistic industries, and influence have reached the top tier in the world."

Mayfly sorted out his thoughts: "Given the nature of the company, it has no direct conflict with the Kingdom of Heaven, and has already formed a de facto alliance with the Legal Front... There are no signs of further rapid expansion, nor any urgent moves to seize control."

"Even when helping the Dream Demon Clan deal with the Evil Brain Group this time, they didn't ask for the Light Seed. Instead, they were investigating the Circular Flow Outbreak, which is the records and information between the Old Human Era and the Dead Sea Era."

"They have the means to report or impeach acting on behalf of others... but they are not prepared to put forward their own candidates."

As he spoke, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and then he became horrified.

Mayfly thought of something terrible.

If a strong and powerful beast remains unmoved by prey offered to it, there are only two possibilities: either it is already too full, or it has more important prey and does not want to alert the prey.

The strength that surpasses Heaven and the legal front, the wealth that exceeds that of the Nightmare Clan, and the power that surpasses that of an agent… can only be found among the truly supreme rulers.

Mayfly swallowed.

"Pretend I never said that."

For the first time, Canghai Jun smiled: "Don't you want to guess anymore?"

"Let's change the subject. I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Mayfly hurriedly waved his hand.

Canghai Jun showed a regretful expression: "It is an objective fact, but people dare not talk about it, or even think about it... This kind of thing is abnormal."

"The people behind this incident don't care at all, but those who are under pressure are spontaneously blocking out the whole thing. Don't you find that absurd?"

"Looking back now, the proxy system is indeed powerful... Over the years, it has subtly locked up the vast majority of people in this world, including those who act as proxies themselves. The Dream Demon clan thought they could be an exception, but were they? You see, they call themselves the uncrowned kings, but they are just deceiving themselves, constantly retreating and hiding, just self-numbing within the Great Holy Spirit."

"..."

Canghai Jun's sharp words stung Fuyou Jun.

But he has his own stance.

"The ecology of the Nightmare Clan is to maintain as much stability and secrecy as possible."

Mayfly had now returned to normal: "The world needs warriors, logistics, lobbyists, farmers, and merchants... but without the food provided by farmers, there would be no dedicated warriors. This principle has been consistent throughout the history of the old humans, and the same applies to nightmares."

"That's right."

Canghai Jun nodded: "I have never thought that the Dream Demons' principle of seclusion is wrong. I just feel it is a pity that the Dream Demons are used to using dreams and money to solve all problems and have forgotten how to use the purest violence to resist and defend their fundamental interests."

“If the opponent is neither afraid of dreaming, nor cares about money, and does not even need the Great Holy Spirit, then the nightmare becomes helpless.”

"This is true when facing the Celestials, and it's no different when facing the company this time."

“The Nightmare could have done more than this.”

"I just regret that."

A trace of melancholy flashed in Canghai Jun's eyes: "It is for this reason that we are not gods, but are called demons."

"Despite having the power to influence the world, and with the Kingdom of Heaven once under our control, we have not gained the true respect and support of other life forms in this world."

“Even though we have truly helped a great number of lives, enabling them to have dreams when they were in despair, and even provided them with financial assistance, their impression of us has never changed.”

"This is truly a rather sad thing."

Mayfly remained silent.

"Feel sorry."

Canghai Jun suddenly said, "During the years I was imprisoned in the Evil Brain, because I had nothing to do, I could only review my experiences over and over again, as well as the development and fate of the Dream Demon Clan. These are just casual complaints."

"If I hadn't experienced the brainwashing, I probably wouldn't have wanted to make this change."

He smiled.

Mayfly originally wanted to subconsciously avoid this dangerous topic.

But when they saw a large number of evil minds rising from the trench like a school of fish, only to be taken away by the company's Blackthorn.

The words he was about to say to smooth things over suddenly changed on his own.

Is there really a chance?

"Yes, I have."

Canghai Jun laughed and said, "You ask me why I follow Zhou Yi. It's because I believe he's the one who can create that opportunity. The Dream Demon spent his whole life creating dreams for others, and I also want to create a dream for myself."

"In this dream."

He looked up.

"I would like to have a contest with the noble celestial beings."
