After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"Well, I don't know if it's an exception, but almost everyone I know who likes to ride motorcycles has been in an accident. It seems like this thing..."

Little Yama patted the dashboard of the motorcycle he was riding.

"It has a kind of magic that can cause people to have car accidents."

The motorcycle drove out of the city and into the suburbs.

The infrastructure of the Eastern Xia Federation has a history of over a hundred years, with very little repair during that time. Now, it has been hit by a major disaster of spiritual plague. The roads in the suburbs are covered with large areas of cracks, gravel, and potholes. Occasionally, you can see a few vehicles covered in dust parked on the road, with some mummies and skeletons inside.

Further along, military vehicles, tanks, and even skeletons dressed in military uniforms appeared on the road.

"Wait a minute... Brother Yan, look at that overturned tank on the left side of the road!"

Little Yama slowed down the car and turned his head to the left.

On the left are the skeletons of more than ten soldiers holding completely destroyed firearms, and next to the skeletons is an overturned tank.

The tank was covered in vines, and moss was seeping out from the gaps in the tracks, showing that it had been integrated with nature for a long time.

Little Yama's motorcycle stopped.

"I saw it, so what?" Search, QQ group: 29〃○驷衫?←≤;

"The omniscient one told me that half of this tank is made of wood..."

lignification?

Little Yama got out of the car and walked to the overturned tank, which was covered with moss.

Zhou Yan reminded him.

"It's the left side."

Walking to the left side of the tank, Little Yama took out his martial arts sword and cut a hole in the tank.

The Shengwu Sword might not be strong enough to defend against mythical creatures, but it could cut through ordinary metal like mud. Little Yama didn't have to exert much effort to slice a part of the tank open.

As Zhou Yan said, the cut-open part of the tank clearly showed the texture of wood, and it felt like wood to the touch.

Cut it open on the other side, and that side will be normal metal.

Little Yama asked in astonishment.

"Xiao Yan, don't tell me this mental plague can infect even inorganic matter?!"

Half of this tank has been turned into wood. This wooding is obviously not from when the tank was made. The military factory used half steel and half wood to save costs. It must have been a mutation caused by staying in the wild for a long time.

What kind of mutation could turn steel into wood?

All Little Yama could think of was the spiritual plague that was spreading throughout this world, granting mortals inexplicable abilities.

"I... I don't know either. This thing is called a pollutant in my eyes."

"Contaminants?"

Little Yama muttered to himself as he walked back to his motorcycle.

"Xiao Yan..."

Little Yama straddled the motorcycle.

"Since there are pollutants, there must be a source of pollution."

"Hmm, these things, could they be the special abilities of some mentally ill patient?"

Little Yama pressed the handlebars, and the motorcycle moved forward, facing the wind. Little Yama pondered.

"Maybe. We don't know much about this world. Sigh, I should have arrested Chen Xu. We could have just asked him directly if we didn't understand something."

After turning a corner, a dense forest began to appear in the distance along the suburban road.

It's normal for dense forests like this to be in the wild. When Xiao Yanjun drove over, he didn't think much of it. But as he got closer, he realized something was wrong.

The trees in the dense forest on both sides of the suburban road are not like normal straight trees with wrinkled bark. Instead, they have obvious hands, feet, heads, and facial features, while their bodies are covered with a layer of green bark.

These don't look like trees at all; they look more like people covered in tree bark.

Little Yama stopped in front of the grove of trees.

Zhou Yan spoke at the opportune moment.

"These... seem... to be trees that were indeed transformed from humans..."

"I know the outside world must be very strange."

Little Yama looked at the trees with incomprehension.

"But I didn't expect it to be this scary. Don't tell me that most of the people who have contracted this mental plague have turned into all sorts of weird things."

"I don't know either, Brother Yan. How about we turn back and grab Chen Xu and his buddies to ask them?"

"Why not go to a nearby city and ask some survivors? It's closer and safer."

Now that Little Yama has captured Chen Xu, the other tough girls are definitely on high alert. Besides, they are all armed, and Little Yama doesn't want to use her own body to test just how powerful firearms are.

Little Yama sensed the forest in front of him and didn't feel any danger. However, judging from the appearance of the trees, just in case, Little Yama turned the car around and drove towards the city on the side.

This place is only eight years away from the era of Little Yama and Zhou Yan. The terrain and cities have basically not changed. After figuring out which state this place is, I dare not say that I am very familiar with this state. I can remember how many cities this state has and what their geographical locations are.

Fifty kilometers east of this road, there should be a city called Baishui.

Fifty kilometers is not a long distance. It only took Xiao Yanjun half an hour to ride his motorcycle from the outskirts to an unnamed mountain outside Baishui City.

This hill used to be a place where residents of Baishui City would go on outings and have barbecues in the suburbs. When Xiao Yanjun arrived, he could still see some black charcoal buried under the dust, and various plastic bags labeled "Orleans Chicken Wings" and "Sichuan Chicken Strips".

Ten kilometers down the mountain, you'll reach Baishui City. But when Xiao Yanjun drove up the mountain and was about to go down, another scene that shouldn't have happened in reality appeared.

At least half of the buildings in Baishui City, ten kilometers away, are floating in mid-air at varying heights. These floating buildings are not stationary, but slowly and steadily rotate around a center, as if they are being wrapped by a giant tornado.

Little Yama was surprised again.

"What the heck? This place is way too weird!"

"Hmm, wait a minute!"

Zhou Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"A city has appeared here too!"

……

On the sea of ​​the subconscious.

Zhou Yan, who had been sitting on the flatboat watching Little Yama's bubbles, slowly stood up. The young man stared in disbelief at the city that had appeared before him.

Having drifted on the sea of ​​subconsciousness for so long, Zhou Yan had not seen anything else on the surface of the sea besides the few things on his side.

Zhou Yan assumed there wouldn't be anything else on the sea.

Reality, however, gave Zhou Yan a harsh slap in the face.

After Xiao Yanjun saw Baishui City, half of which was floating in mid-air, Zhou Yan also saw a city floating on the sea not far away.

Judging from its shape, it is exactly the same as the half of the city buildings floating in the sky above Baishui City.

……

An unnamed hilltop.

After listening to Zhou Yan's account, Little Yama said jokingly.

"I think I understand now. In this world, consciousness and matter have begun to merge."

Little Yama pointed to her temple.

“Things in the subconscious can be reflected in the material world and influence the material world.”

……

On the sea of ​​the subconscious.

Zhou Yan slowly steered the small boat toward the city not far away.

"How did you do that?"

Zhou Yan, omniscient, scanned the city before him.

How does the subconscious mind manifest in reality?

Bubble, representing Little Yama, answered.

"This should not be the effect of the sea of ​​subconsciousness, but rather the work of the great supernatural being who upholds the foundation of all beings' thoughts."

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, then laughed again.

"I think I understand."

This anomaly resulting from the fusion of the real and subconscious worlds means that it's not just that the subconscious can influence reality, but reality can also influence the subconscious.

Since reality can also influence the subconscious, can it also repair the subconscious world?

Little Yama reminded him.

"Think of the Four Divine Beasts."

Chen Xu once said that the Four Divine Beasts went to repair the subconscious world, and it seems they never returned after the repair.

With the abilities of the Four Divine Beasts, Zhou Yan could easily tell that they were much clearer than he was about the subconscious world, that reality could influence the subconscious, and that they had actually done it.

result……

The Four Divine Beasts did not return; only the Eastern Dipper Star Lord remained to maintain order.

Zhou Yan's ship sailed to the edge of Baishui City.

Two police cars were parked on the edge of the area, and two policemen were drinking soy milk. Zhou Yan's arrival made quite a bit of noise, so the policemen glanced at him and went back to drinking soy milk, muttering to themselves.

"That guy Guai Li's wife is pregnant, damn it, she's the same age as me, and I'm still single!"

Another policeman quipped.

"How about I organize a social event tonight? I can introduce you to a few pretty girls, okay?"

Zhou Yan looked inward from the police on the edge of the area.

Behind the police officer was a street bustling with people and vehicles—students, office workers, breakfast vendors, and small supermarket owners were everywhere.

It's a vibrant city.

Zhou Yan jumped off the ship and carried Little Yama's foam to the edge of the city.

……

reality.

Little Yama rode his motorcycle to the edge of Baishui City.

Just like the subconscious city where Zhou Yan was, there was also a police car parked at the edge. However, in Zhou Yan's subconscious world, the police car at the edge of the city was clean and brand new, while the police car in the real world was covered with iron filings and a thick layer of dust.

Inside the police car sat two policemen in faded uniforms. One officer was repeatedly banging his head against the steering wheel, his forehead covered in blood. The other officer lay in the passenger seat, breathing evenly, as if he had fallen asleep.

Little Yama walked around the police car and went forward.

Behind the police car was a street. The first shop on the street was a breakfast shop. Standing in front of the shop was a person who was almost a dried-up corpse. The person was kneeling on the ground, sobbing and uttering incoherent words.

Further ahead, there are shops, clothing stores, and internet cafes.

Halfway there, a man with wide, angry eyes, no teeth left but a mouthful of bloody gums ran out of the internet cafe. The man roared and pounced on Little Yama.

Little Yama casually swung his martial arts sword, cleaving the man in two. "⊙捌！『；±"

……

On the sea of ​​the subconscious, within the city of Whitewater.

Zhou Yan stood in front of a Douyu Internet Cafe. A man who looked like he had just stayed up all night walked out of the cafe. His eyes were red and he was staggering.

The man must have smelled the aroma of soy milk, fried dough sticks, and wontons from the nearby breakfast shops. He swallowed hard and headed towards the nearest shop, but halfway there, his eyes widened, he pressed one hand to his heart, convulsed a few times, and collapsed to the ground.

Several pedestrians nearby saw this and rushed to the man's side, asking him how he was doing and shouting to those around them.

"Ambulance! Ambulance!"

The people around them looked at each other, their faces showing some embarrassment.

In the Eastern United States, an ambulance costs five figures just for coming out, even if it does nothing. If you just need an IV drip or some other service, the cost will be close to six figures.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, you wouldn't dare call an ambulance even if you were saving someone, because the person you saved might resent you for making them carry a debt they can't repay for half their life after they wake up.
