Chapter 14 The Dream Creature
Indeed, dreams are connected.
He found Li Luo in this world.
They arrived in the same dream.
Thinking of this, Mo Ling approached Li Luo and typed two words on the electronic screen.
“Wake up.”
He knew that Li Luo must have realized by now that this was a dream and could wake up at any time.
But the girl shook her head.
“I can’t wake up now, the investigation mission is not over yet.”
Then she started to explain to Mo Ling.
The Vibrata beasts controlled by the red rope worms didn’t want to fight for the black horn, they all wanted to enter this world through the black horn.
But for some reason, they couldn’t get here.
Maybe the dream didn’t accept them, or maybe they couldn’t pay the price.
In previous records, there were no cases of other creatures entering dream relics.
As for why Mo Ling and Li Luo could enter the dream without paying the price, it might be because they triggered a mechanism that bypassed the payment.
Mo Ling suddenly realized that not only did he not pay the price, but he also stole the pickled vegetables that were supposed to be the price.
He had a strange idea.
“I brought the pickled vegetables from that strange space to the dream city of dawn, isn’t that still in the dream?”
Is it considered stealing to transfer from one hand to the other?
Mo Ling couldn’t come up with an answer, so he had to empty his brain and listen to Li Luo’s explanation.
“The red rope worms can only parasitize living beings, and the only creature that can live in the dream realm is one.”
Li Luo took out an electronic screen and entered a term on it – Dream Kirin.
Then handed the electronic screen to Mo Ling.
It was a creature found on the Abyss on the seventh floor.
When people first entered the Abyss, they didn’t see this kind of creature.
It had no physical form, or maybe people hadn’t discovered the physical form of this creature yet.
It was a time when hunters had just entered the Abyss to begin exploring.
Because the hunters faced all kinds of strange creatures every day, even if they dreamed of this kind of creature, they wouldn’t find it strange.
They just thought it was a dream.
And no one would discuss this with others.
At most, when chatting with colleagues, they suddenly found out that they both dreamed of the same creature that they had never seen in reality.
But at that time, it did not attract people’s attention.
Until one day, a hunter went to the hospital at the first monitoring station and hesitantly told the doctor about his injuries.
When the doctor asked him how he got injured, he told the doctor about the strange creature he encountered in his dream.
That night, the hunter drank a lot of water.
So in the middle of the night, he dreamed that he was driving and suddenly needed to urinate.
He parked the car on the side of the road and found a secluded bush without anyone around.
As soon as he took off his pants, he saw a colorful creature in the bush on the side of the road.
The creature looked like a horse, but much smaller than a horse, only about a meter tall, with a single horn on its head.
The creature was hiding in a bush on the side of the road, emitting dazzling light, colorful like a rainbow.
It was very dazzling in the dark, like a blurry colored texture, making the hunter’s head spin.
He didn’t know why his brain suddenly short-circuited.
He urinated towards the rainbow creature.
Then he was kicked and woke up in pain.
Not only was his bed wet, but the pain from the dream was reflected in his real body.
And the injured part matched exactly in both the dream and reality, which is why the wound was in such a strange place.
The doctor looked at the swollen injury, holding back a laugh as he applied medicine.
Because the hunter’s story was so interesting, it spread widely, even from the monitoring station to Dawn City.
This was also the first time people discovered the traces of the Dream Kirin.
Subsequently, people became curious about this creature.
Being able to live in the dream realm was truly fascinating.
Many researchers eagerly studied this creature.
But since the Dream Kirin only appeared in dreams and couldn’t provide a physical form, the research quickly hit a dead end.
Fortunately, people began to gradually understand the habits of the Dream Kirin, making it one of the more well-known Abyss creatures.
Later, other hunters also discovered the Dream Kirin in their dreams.
It doesn’t pose any harm, as long as you don’t provoke it, the Dream Kirin will ignore you.
But if you provoke it, it will attack you directly.
Most people will wake up in pain immediately.
Then they’ll find that the place they were attacked by the Dream Kirin is also injured in reality.
Some people even died in their dreams, skewered by the horns.
When their companions found them, they were clutching their necks, with a large hole pierced through.
Mo Ling was puzzled.
Why would someone be stabbed by such a short creature in the neck?
There were many records of the Dream Kirin, as it was very prominent.
The colorful panel-like appearance was hard to miss.
Although it could harm people in a strange way, the authorities eventually classified it as a harmless creature.
After reading the records, Mo Ling wrote down his own question on the electronic screen.
“Can this kind of creature also be parasitized by the red rope worms?”
Li Luo nodded and said, “Yes, as long as it’s a living being.”
Mo Ling was still wondering how to find the Dream Kirin in Dawn City, such a small creature.
But Li Luo had already made a phone call, and shortly after, she received a reply.
After exchanging a few words, she turned to Mo Ling and said, “Found it, let’s wait for a while, it’s on its way now.”
Mo Ling marveled again at how money really could do anything.
So efficient.
In no time, a group of people in black brought the Dream Kirin in a cage to Li Luo’s house.
Mo Ling went to the cage and looked at the Dream Kirin.
Indeed, it looked like a rainbow-colored small horse, with panels on its body like spilled paint.
The paint was emitting light, constantly rolling on the surface of the panel.
All of its parts were covered with surging colors, blurry and indistinct, only the external outline was visible, and no details like eyes could be seen.
The appearance was completely different from the surrounding environment, as if a texture error occurred in a game.
The Dream Kirin didn’t resist either, but stayed in the cage, eating food docilely.
Looking at the bowl, it was the pickled vegetables familiar to Mo Ling.
Yes, the favorite food of the Dream Kirin was pickled vegetables.
As soon as the researchers found out that the Dream Kirin liked to eat pickled vegetables, they spontaneously connected it with the dream relics.
Some even said that there was no dream relic in the first place.
It was the pickled vegetables that attracted the Dream Kirin and brought people into the dream.
But such claims were not tenable because they couldn’t explain the glass jar and weight restrictions.
Not to mention that the Dream Kirin would also run into human dreams.
In the end, people could only regard it as a coincidence.
Perhaps pickled vegetables and dreams had a strange connection?
