Lu Ning walked in the fog for two thousand years. When he emerged, he found the world seemed to be sick.
The sun grew tentacles, the planets were covered in flesh and blood, the moon grew num...
It is foreseeable that Colin will be quite busy in the next few days.
Lu Ning originally thought that her matter was over, but unexpectedly, the next day Colin insisted on dragging Lu Ning to look up literature together.
Besides Lu Ning, Ke Qing was also dragged along.
Of the high-level Awakened Ones, only Li Mu remained. In addition, Qiu Yuelin and Wang Qiwen, two senior Awakened Ones, were stationed at the branch.
When I arrived at headquarters, Yan Feng came to greet me.
When Yan Feng saw Lu Ning, he was also a little surprised: "Lu Ning? You're here to read too? I thought you weren't the kind of person who liked reading."
Lu Ning: "?"
He said with a serious expression, "I had good grades before entering the fog, and I attended a top university."
"Oh, I don't understand." Yan Feng yawned, then led the group into the headquarters.
The archive of documents about cults is located on the third basement floor of the headquarters.
According to Colin, the headquarters of the small base city only involves specific information about the cult, and there are actually not many records about the evil god.
Even some extremely dangerous cults only have a few fragmentary records.
When the group arrived at the third basement level, Yan Feng led them through the guards' inspection, through a bronze door, and into an underground library.
The library is filled with bookshelves displaying all kinds of books.
According to Colin, texts involving evil gods and cults will only be backed up on the hard drive and will not be placed directly in computer files to prevent leaks and text pollution on the network.
The librarian at headquarters was an elderly man with gray hair.
He quickly found the files about the Mind Cult and handed them to Lu Ning and his group.
There were several thick volumes of files.
Lu Ning picked up a book and quickly flipped through it. It was full of stories about the evil deeds committed by the Mind Cult in the base city, as well as an introduction to the Mind Cult's structure and doctrines.
The evil god worshipped by the Mind Cult is the master of dreams, and all members of the Mind Cult usually believe that this evil god is the ruler of the dream dimension.
In addition, the Mind Cult has secondary objects of worship, including the Dream Weaver Spider Mother and the Mirage Eye. The former is the embodiment of collective dreams, while the latter is a representative of dreams distorting reality.
There is no accurate record of the origins of these two secondary objects of worship.
Some say that both the Dream Weaver Spider Mother and the Mirage Eye are incarnations of the Dream Ruler, while others say they are two evil gods under the Dream Ruler.
What exactly it is, probably only the higher-ups of the spiritual sect know.
The core doctrine of the Mind Sect is that 'reality is a prison, only dreams are eternal.'
Followers of the Mind Cult hope to ascend their own consciousness to the dream dimension by absorbing the dream energy of others.
In the view of these spiritual sect members, the dream dimension is the 'real world' they recognize.
On the contrary, the current dimension of reality is the illusion.
Besides that, it's about the members of the Mind Cult.
The highest level is called the Silver Mist Apostles, but their specific strength, number, and identities are not mentioned in the documents.
Below the Silver Mist Apostles are the Dream Weavers, mid-level leaders of the Mind Cult.
Believers are called dream eaters.
In addition, the Mind Cult seems to have special institutions such as the Mirage Council.
There is very little documentation about the members and internal structure of the Mind Cult.
However, the document contained specific information about several captured dream eaters and dream weavers.
Lu Ning took a look and found that most of these people were engaged in work similar to that of psychologists, and were hiding in the base city as cult members.
Some dream weavers even use the pretext of psychotherapy to develop followers through dream suggestions.
Of course, in addition to these jobs, there are other ordinary staff members.
Furthermore, not all psychologists are members of spiritual sects; they can't possibly arrest all of them.
In addition, because members of the Mind Cult are skilled in psychological suggestion and mental abilities, they usually set up cognitive filters, which can make many ordinary people and low-level awakened individuals ignore abnormalities.
Furthermore, dreams are elusive and difficult to capture.
Therefore, in the document, the Mind Sect is defined as a cult with a very high degree of danger.
Although nothing about the Dream Master is mentioned here, Lu Ning guesses that one of the reasons it is defined as a highly dangerous cult is that the Dream Master was even able to kill a demigod in a dream!
Lu Ning and his companions spent a day in the underground library, and when they left, they still looked worried.
Colin sighed softly, "This Mind Cult is too cunning; it will probably be difficult to catch the person behind it."
Ke Qing nodded slightly: "I also think that we can only catch them if they reveal their own weakness."
"No matter what, we can't let these cult members who committed such heinous acts get away with it! Let's start the investigation with the psychologist first, and find out if the victim has recently been in contact with anyone who does similar work," Colin said, adjusting his glasses.
Just then, Colin's phone rang.
He opened the call and found it was from Li Mu.
After the call connected, Li Mu's anxious voice came from Colin's phone: "Colin, Xiao Ran has suddenly fainted!"
