"The Pseudo-Moth is an important force of the Black Dream Hunters. If the Black Dream Hunters want to breed a Pseudo-Moth, they will choose a suitable place and hold a complex and lengthy ceremony to create an egg.
"The false moth is a creature between the dream world and the real world, so its eggs are also between dreams and reality, and exist temporarily in dreams and reality. The Black Dream Hunters use the dream cocoons of ordinary people as nutrients for the false moths. They usually preach to ordinary people and let them believe in moths, so that moths will bring them beautiful dreams. If ordinary people really believe in moths and hold ceremonies to pray to moths, they will be able to establish a connection with the false moths created by the Black Dream Hunters. After having this connection, once ordinary people fall asleep, their dream cocoons in the dream world will be captured by the false moths and bound to their side."
The little fox continued to speak to Gregor, who was mimicking the black dog. When Gregor heard that ordinary people's dream cocoons were used as nutrients for the growth of pseudo-moths, he couldn't help but frowned, stood up on his hind legs, and then said worriedly.
"Ordinary people's dream cocoons are used as nutrients? Are there any creatures like this? What will happen to people in reality if dream cocoons are used as nutrients?!"
"Many creatures in the dream world are beyond the understanding and imagination of ordinary people... If the dream cocoon is used as food, then people in reality will definitely not have any results. As for the results, I will tell you, Black Dog, just sit down and listen to me."
Looking at Gregor's reaction, the little fox spoke to him indifferently. After listening to the little fox's words, Gregor paused slightly, then calmed down and sat back on the ground, continuing to listen to the little fox's words, while the little fox continued to speak in a solemn tone.
"When captured by a false moth, ordinary people will really fall into a carefree and beautiful dream, and be unable to extricate themselves from it. The false moth will absorb the spirituality in the dream cocoon as nourishment for its own growth. Usually, the more dream cocoons the false moth captures, the more nourishment it will absorb from the dream cocoons. Therefore, the Black Dream Hunter Group will specially organize an underground church that secretly believes in the moth in a certain place and spread the belief in the moth privately.
"The Black Dream Hunters usually choose to preach to the lower-middle class people who are indifferent to reality or oppressed by life. Those believers who are lured into religion usually cannot extricate themselves because they are immersed in the beautiful dreams given by the moth. In the beautiful dreams, they can have things that they cannot have in reality. They will become more and more dependent on the beautiful dreams and feel disgusted with the painful reality, so they gradually escape from reality and indulge in dreams. This also allows the Black Dream Hunters to easily control those believers who are addicted to beautiful dreams and make them act strictly according to the rules they set. In order to continue to enjoy beautiful dreams at night, no one will choose to report them. They can easily control a large group of people to provide nutrients for the false moth.
"As for those believers who are addicted to beautiful dreams, their dream cocoons will be exploited day and night, and their spirits will gradually collapse without them noticing, slowly heading towards nothingness, and eventually their real bodies will become empty shells, and this completely meaningless shell will become a puppet of the Pseudo-Moth."
The little fox spoke to Gregor very solemnly. Hearing the little fox's words, Gregor also looked solemn. He had come into contact with many evil societies before. They had various means of controlling ordinary people. Of course, the one he was most familiar with was the cup drug used by the Red Sacrament Society. It was an addictive drug that stimulated the deep desires of the human body. His former colleague Brandon became a ghost in the Igwinter Security Bureau because he was controlled by the cup drug. Now there is another society that relies on dreams to control others, and it feels that this society is even more difficult to guard against.
"These guys... rely on ordinary people's dream cocoons as nutrients to promote the growth of pseudo-moths... so that after the pseudo-moths are mature, they can be used as their weapons?"
Gregor spoke to the little fox with a serious look, and the little fox responded bluntly.
"It's not just a weapon. The Pseudo-Moth is the foundation of the Black Dream Hunters. The Black Dream Hunters are different from other extraordinary people. They don't have a conventional extraordinary branch inheritance. Their abilities do not come from the accumulation and promotion of spirituality, but directly from the cultivation of Pseudo-Moth."
"They don't have a way to inherit the legacy? They acquire abilities through training pseudo-moths? What does this mean?"
Gregor spoke in confusion as he listened to the little fox's words, and the little fox immediately responded.
"To put it simply, the rank of that group of guys comes from the Pseudo-Moth, not from themselves. If we calculate according to our usual rank rating, their entire association is almost just an apprentice-level 'Shadow' Beyonders. Their main abilities and ranks come from the connection with the Pseudo-Moth."
"Are they also connected to the Pseudomoth?" Greg asked somewhat unexpectedly, and the little fox answered directly.
"Yes, just like those ordinary people who were captured in dream cocoons, their dream cocoons are also connected to the pseudo-moths, and even more deeply, it can be said that they are directly parasitic on the pseudo-moths. The way they connect with the pseudo-moths is different from that of ordinary people. Not only are the spirituality of their dream cocoons connected to the pseudo-moths not absorbed by the pseudo-moths, but they can even obtain abilities from the pseudo-moths. This series of abilities is very similar to the dream-eating path I mentioned, which is related to dreams. Through this special connection, they can even control the behavior of the pseudo-moths."
The little fox continued to patiently explain to Greg and listened to the little fox's explanation.
"This means...these guys' extraordinary abilities actually come from the pseudo-moth...and are not their own?"
"That's right. A pseudo-moth can establish such a special link with many Black Dream Hunters. Depending on the growth progress of the linked pseudo-moth, the number of special links that can be established and the upper limit of the strongest ability after the connection will also increase. In other words, the more mature the pseudo-moth develops, the stronger the group of Black Dream members connected to the pseudo-moth will be.
"Some of these guys can obtain abilities of different levels from the Pseudo-moth, similar to the Path of Dream Eaters. When they are eggs, they can reach the level of Apprentice at most, when they are insects, they can reach the level of Black Soil at most, and when they are pupae, they can reach the level of Chalk at most. It is said that a fully developed Pseudo-moth can provide a member of the Black Dream Hunter Group that is linked to it with a Red Soul rank quota. With the help of a ritual, a member can have a deep connection with the Pseudo-moth and become a Beyonder who is almost at the Red Soul rank."
The little fox said this to Gregor, and after listening to the little fox's extraordinary knowledge that was beyond his understanding, Gregor paused for a long time, and then spoke again silently after a while.
"It's incredible. In this world... is there such a method to enhance extraordinary abilities? It's completely different from the extraordinary path we are on..."
"Of course not, according to my grandfather... well, it is said that in the past, there were various ways to embark on the extraordinary path in the world, including this method of symbiosis with extraordinary creatures to obtain extraordinary abilities. The spiritual accumulation promotion method we use now is just a very complete and stable one, adopted by the vast majority of extraordinary organizations. The Black Dream Hunter Group cannot use the normal promotion method due to some specific reasons, so they use this ancient symbiosis method."
"A specific reason? What is it?"
Gregor asked curiously, and the little fox shook his head in response.
“I don’t know about this for now, because I have to eliminate the poison recognition, so I don’t know all the knowledge about the Black Dream Hunter Group, but I think I have told you enough.
"The small town that the detective encountered should be the one chosen by the Black Dream Hunters as a breeding ground for pseudo-moths. It is very dangerous there. You can tell the detective that if he doesn't want to be in danger, he should leave as soon as possible."
The little fox spoke to Gregor seriously, and after hearing her words, Gregor nodded in understanding.
I have almost found out everything about the Black Dream Hunters. After I wake up, I will report this information to the detective.
