Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

"Were all those who went missing absorbed into the graffiti and became part of it, existing in the form of graffiti?" Zhao Hao muttered to himself.

As soon as he spoke, the aimless graffiti suddenly seemed to have a target, instantly gathering and tightening, trembling like a moving, semi-transparent piece of cloth, and rushing towards Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao formed a hand seal and flung out a fireball the size of a large bowl.

But the fireball disappeared as soon as the graffiti touched it, and instead, an orange-red fireball graffiti appeared on its body.

Zhao Hao quickly jumped back several meters and carefully hung on the wall without making a sound.

Sure enough, the graffiti lost its target again.

It seems to be searching for its target by the sound of voices. Is it blind?

This thing has an ethereal appearance, like a transparent cloth with constantly changing graffiti in the air. Just from its appearance, you can basically be sure that it is not susceptible to physical attacks.

Zhao Hao had just tried using psionic magic, but it didn't work either, at least not the regular kind.

This thing is, in some ways, a special kind of bronze. Moreover, it has strange abilities; ordinary methods are completely ineffective.

Zhao Hao then tried various methods: wind, fire, thunder, lightning, extreme cold, extreme heat, acid, lightning...

Currently, only shadow-related abilities and mental abilities can have some effect, but they only suppress them.

The barrier can trap it, but it can't harm it.

Zhao Hao performed an extreme compression, reducing it to the size of a sesame seed, yet the graffiti remained undamaged. It was as if volume was meaningless; it could be large or small.

He tried to shatter the barrier again, but it was no use; the spatial rift couldn't even scratch the graffiti.

This thing's existence is too bizarre. It might have originally been just a low-level monster, but after devouring too many people, it got a bit out of control.

This is probably going to be a headache for the Bureau of Mysteries' Storage Department.

However, Zhao Hao didn't want to hand it over to the sealing department because he felt its abilities were very peculiar.

Those swallowed by it did not die, but were transformed into another form, achieving a kind of rebirth. Living in graffiti!

During the time Zhao Hao was conducting the experiment, he saw more than once a group of large and small male and female graffiti on the graffiti, gathered together, scattered, truly existing in another form!

And they seem to be having a great time; the graffiti artists all have smiling faces.

Perhaps, after freeing themselves from the difficult and painful material world, their spirituality has found a carefree life in graffiti?

Heaven? A graffiti paradise?!

This reminded Zhao Hao of his dream. Ever since he bound a group of spiritually damaged children to his dream, some children with high spiritual potential began to appear in his dream.

They often appeared in Zhao Hao's dreams, and although they couldn't remember anything after waking up, this made their connection with Zhao Hao grow stronger.

If they were to die one day, their souls wouldn't be drawn to the underworld, but would instead come into Zhao Hao's dreams according to their connection, becoming an eternal part of his dreams, just like the Minions.

However, the Minions do have physical forms; Zhao Hao simply prevented them from appearing in the surface world, fearing they might cause trouble.

And the graffiti in front of us has a similar meaning to some extent.

Although the methods and principles may differ, the final effect is the same.

However, this thing has no mind at all; it simply devours things instinctively based on certain rules.

Because it was born in this neglected slum, it swallowed up most of the population in a short period of time. Only a few residents remained on the outskirts.

Those people probably already realized that there was a problem inside the poor people's shares, so they kept their doors tightly shut and didn't make a sound.

Even though they suspected something terrible might happen in the slums, these poor people didn't leave.

It is clear that poverty is more terrifying than the possibility of death.

It was precisely these people's silent survival instincts that prevented the graffiti from spreading to the outside world, instead keeping it lingering within the deserted slums. Otherwise, they would have had to eat their way to the edge of the slums and then enter the city.

This thing is so destructive; it's not unusual for it to wipe out tens of thousands of people overnight. It's already at the Bronze level; if it were to swallow tens of thousands more, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhao Hao trapped the graffiti within the barrier, watching it cling to the barrier and display its graffiti content, pondering how to deal with it.

There's really no good way to fight back, but letting go is definitely not an option either.

If you keep being trapped like this, are you trapping the thing or trapping yourself?

I'm reluctant to hand it over to the Bureau of Mysteries. This thing looks extremely valuable.

Finally, he made up his mind: "Let's take a risk and try suppressing and sealing it..."

Chapter 341 The Graffiti Wall in My Dream, The Spiritual Game Console

Zhao Hao had prepared some defensive measures in his dream beforehand.

Some of them are used to defend against possible intrusions in the dream world, while others are used to suppress dangerous entities within the dream world.

In his dream, he created a place to suppress evil spirits, monsters, and supernatural objects.

Not only can it subdue harmful monsters, but it can also use their power as energy for dreams.

It is used both to defend against external enemies and as the power source for movement within dreams.

This dream floats on the surface of the psionic sea, mostly anchored nearby, and even when it moves, it drifts with the current.

Controlling movement requires a massive amount of spiritual energy, which even Zhao Hao can't fully handle. However, with these suppressed monsters, he can use their power to move.

Last time, Zhao Hao managed to enter the Candle Bay Ocean Dreamland and even invaded and devoured it.

Now that the dream world has grown many times larger, it's become inconvenient to move around, and it needs more power sources.

Of course, Zhao Hao values ​​even more the special ability of the graffiti to contain spirituality.

Zhao Hao has an item called the Shadow Shrine, which is produced in the DOTA world and is commonly known as an urn.

This thing can store souls, but it stores them in a way that is like suppression.

However, these graffiti-covered eerie objects allow a vast number of spiritual entities to "continue to exist" within the body.

This ability is truly amazing. It's also why Zhao Hao was reluctant to hand it over to the Mysterious Bureau for the sake of convenience.

He was a little envious!

I am capable of using alchemy to create a physical body; the only thing that restricts me from creating "life" is spirituality.

If one can thoroughly understand the abilities of this graffiti, then one will have room to maneuver.

In fact, Zhao Hao had conducted numerous trials and experiments in this area, even engaging in some experiments with Winston on creating spirit-mechanical bodies. He and Sylvia also attempted to create spiritual forms through drawing spiritual paintings.

Both sides gained something, but the gains were not significant.

We can only say that we are accumulating technology little by little, mainly because we don't have any particularly clear research direction.

So far, Zhao Hao still has quite a few good things in his possession.

Detroit android technology, Inception, Sword Art Online code, Oasis game helmet, source code lab report...

While these things offered no benefit in terms of combat capability, they were invaluable in terms of technological advancement. Zhao Hao alone benefited greatly from reverse engineering and imitation techniques.

In the second half of this year, Zhao Hao's Pipi Shrimp Company also set up an electronics department, aiming to enter the field of electronic communications.

In late 1982, the first commercial mobile phone appeared on the market, also known as the "Big Brother" mobile phone!

Zhao Hao originally didn't want to get involved, but as the company grew, it became like a large ship leaving port; wind direction and ocean currents would affect the ship's course and speed. One couldn't just rely on the captain's opinion.

Some of the company's executives, as well as the Duke family, who were considered partners, believed that the electronics industry would become the mainstream industry in the future, the forefront of high technology, and a promising field for making money.

Zhao Hao can't stop his subordinates from enthusiastically creating value just because he's lazy!

Not to mention that Zhao Hao already had mature technology, although at that time he used a psionic communicator.

Let's do it! Making money is nothing to be ashamed of.

Companies are going bankrupt in droves, and you're making a fortune but you're still not happy? That's just being pretentious.

Zhao Hao could never say, "I'm not interested in money." He's not just interested, he's very interested.

In fact, if Zhao Hao wanted to, he could even develop civilian versions of mechanical prosthetics for ordinary people. It's even possible he could create a technologically advanced mechanical exoskeleton. All of these technologies are derived from seemingly insignificant tools.

Although many technologies may not be useful or have a significant impact at first, their effects accumulate gradually and eventually become much greater, eventually leading to a completely different picture.

……

Zhao Hao entered the dream with the strange graffiti. The Minions were fully armed, holding various inventions, especially those related to mental abilities, and stood guard on the outer circle.

Zhao Hao, on the other hand, personally oversaw the alchemy, intending to use a large amount of spiritual materials and psychic machinery to create a wall. He would then seal the graffiti onto the wall, making it an energy source for the dream and enriching it.

After working for more than 30 hours, we finally managed to seal the graffiti onto the wall.

It looks like there's nothing wrong.

The graffiti remained steadfastly on the wall, constantly displaying scenes of the graffiti artists' lives. Several thousand people lived in a world unconstrained by material desires; calling it paradise wouldn't be an exaggeration.

After successfully sealing the graffiti, Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief and also felt the benefits of sealing the graffiti.

This is a bronze-level artifact, and its effects are excellent.

A large amount of psychic energy diffused from the pre-embedded spiritual metal pipes, becoming the energy source for various facilities in the vast dream world.

Moreover, the dream gained an ability.

Sometimes, sealing away strange creatures in a dream can grant the dream some of the creature's abilities.

As the dream's owner, Zhao Hao immediately understood the effect of this ability.

It is the ability to transfer one's consciousness into a dream without loss.

Human consciousness cannot be transferred from the body without loss. Even when it is transferred from the body into one's dreams, that is, when dreaming, there will be some loss. Very little.

The old saying goes that daydreaming wastes energy, and that's probably what it means.

If a person were to enter someone else's dream from their own, the energy expenditure would be enormous, and they might even fall asleep forever.

A significant portion of the spirituality of the children in the Candle Bay incident was generated by being forcibly brought into their dreams.

Furthermore, the pirate ship nourished the nightmares by feeding on the souls of those children, resulting in excessive depletion of both their spirit and soul.

Now, Zhao Hao has mastered the ability to introduce other people's consciousness into his own dreams without harming them.

Zhao Hao was previously able to enter other people's dreams because his cultivation technique had mutated and become quite unique. It was considered a special ability.

Now he can pull other people into his dreams!

It doesn't seem to be of much use.

Those children also bound their dreams to Zhao Hao, so that they could enter Zhao Hao's dreams, right?

However, those children were permanently bound together; the bond couldn't be broken. It was Zhao Hao who used his own dreams to repair their lost spirituality.
