Chapter 400 Memory
Conquer the northern shore of the sea, Navaha.
When the moon sets, time turns back, and in the blink of an eye, a night has passed quickly. As usual, Navaha welcomes another morning.
In Navaha in the early morning, people woke up from a deep sleep. For most of them, last night was just an ordinary night. After waking up in the morning, everyone did what they were supposed to do. The only difference was that they seemed to have slept more soundly, deeply and soundly last night.
Just as the citizens of Navaha finished washing and went out to work as usual, some unusual situations on the street made them realize that something seemed wrong last night.
First of all, all the major restaurants and roadside stalls that were supposed to be open for business and selling breakfast were almost all closed. People who were used to eating breakfast outside found after searching for a long time that they couldn't even buy a breakfast. After asking, they were surprised to find that the reason why these stores were not open was surprisingly the same: everyone overslept and had no time to come to the store to open the stalls and prepare.
Not only breakfast, the citizens of Navaha also found some other problems this morning, such as the police who were supposed to be on patrol were found sleeping on the street, there was no newsboy on the street because there was no time to prepare newspapers, and there was a thief who was found sleeping on the roof by the owner, etc.
Among this series of events, the most bizarre one was the cases of sleeping sickness patients. Those sleeping sickness patients who were originally admitted to mental hospitals were found to have almost all escaped from the mental hospitals early this morning and were sleeping on the streets.
What is even more surprising is that a large number of these patients who were originally thought to be incurable have miraculously regained consciousness after being awakened! Although they are still a little dazed and confused, they are no longer as empty and stupid as before, like a pair of empty shells. They can speak normally and vaguely, and can even recognize relatives and friends on the street. Although their minds do not seem to be completely clear, their overall condition is much better than before.
Although the scale of sleep deprivation has never been too large and has not affected the city's functions and the lives of most citizens, the high prevalence of mental illness compared to other cities has always been a cloud over the hearts of Navaha citizens. The three mental hospitals on the edge of the city and various rumors that have been secretly circulating for more than a decade have made sleep deprivation a dark cloud over Navaha.
Most Navaha residents know about the existence of this strange disease and are afraid of it. They worry all the time whether this disease will befall them. In recent years, due to the increasing incidence of sleeping sickness, people's fear of this disease has gradually increased. Some young people have gradually chosen to leave this city shrouded in strange diseases. Many residents in the city of Navaha have been overshadowed by sleeping sickness. If this strange disease continues to develop like this, the fear will surge in the undercurrent.
The sudden improvement of the symptoms of some patients with sleeping sickness made many people who were afraid of sleeping sickness feel happy. Seeing hope, they couldn't help but feel happy and praised the grace of the Three Saints.
All in all, after Navaha experienced a rather chaotic morning, the overall situation finally slowly returned to normal and the basic order of the city was restored.
After a busy night, Dorothy, who returned to the hotel late at night, slept until noon. Even the noisy seabirds outside the window did not wake her up for a while. When she got up and stretched, the sun was already high in the sky.
After getting up, Dorothy first drew back the curtains, opened the window and looked at the vast ocean and the bustling coastal city. After taking a breath of the air brought by the sea breeze, she returned to the house contentedly and began to wash up.
After washing up, Dorothy changed out of her pajamas, found a brown plaid skirt from her suitcase and put it on. She combed her hair in front of the mirror, put on her hat, put on her own leather shoes, and then walked down the stairs with brisk steps.
After leaving the hotel, Dorothy found a restaurant that she had eaten at before and thought was pretty good. She ordered a potato pancake, a bowl of cold vegetable soup, a fried meat roll, and a glass of milk as her breakfast and lunch.
While dining leisurely, Dorothy began to pay special attention to the conversations of other guests in the restaurant in order to confirm the impact of last night's incident.
'It seems that almost all the people who were hypnotized in the city woke up in the morning... After being hypnotized by the moth, normal people will only sleep for one night at most as long as the hypnotic effect does not continue... Although many people encountered strange situations in the morning, almost no one knew what happened at night. Except for those people in the church, no one had seen the moth.
"Moreover... many of the sleeping sickness patients whose dream cocoons were originally drained have actually begun to recover slowly. When I saw those spirits restored to dream cocoons in the forest yesterday, I wondered if those sleeping sickness patients would be able to recover a little... I didn't expect that they actually recovered. It seems that even if the dream cocoons are drained, if the spirits that were squeezed out are not deeply digested, there is still a chance for recovery. However, for some other spirits that have been deeply digested, it seems impossible to restore to dream cocoons..."
Dorothy thought so in her mind. During the investigation, she also noticed that those patients who were able to recover from the disease had a relatively short history of illness and had not been a patient for too long. However, many patients who had been a patient for a long time still maintained their previous symptoms and showed no signs of recovery.
'After I killed the moth... part of the spiritual energy that exploded on my body returned to the original dream cocoon, while the other part of the spiritual energy slowly dissipated. It is very likely that the dissipated spiritual energy was absorbed by the moth for too long and could not return to the original dream cocoon... It's a bit of a pity, but not everyone can recover in the end. The damage left by the Black Dream Hunters to this city is too deep and too long, and it is impossible to fully recover...'
Dorothy said with a sigh in her heart. After confirming Navaha's current situation, she began to do her own thing and began to carefully read the memory bubbles she had harvested last night. According to Dorothy's judgment, these should be the products of the Black Dream Hunters' spirits being severely damaged along with the moths.
Some of the ordinary memory bubbles shattered quickly, but some memory bubbles containing poison remained and were absorbed by Dorothy through mimicry. She had seen this special memory bubble that carried forbidden knowledge when she first entered the dream world.
While eating lunch, Dorothy began to read the information in the memory bubbles. Soon she discovered that the contents of these memory bubbles mainly consisted of three parts, equivalent to three tons of biographies.
The content of the first part records a new method of spiritual accumulation, called Dream Hunting. Based on the content in the memory bubble, this method of spiritual accumulation can obtain "shadow" spirituality by hunting dream creatures and even other dream mimicry. In addition to breeding pseudo-moths to extract the spirituality in the dream cocoons of ordinary people, the Black Dream Hunting Group also seems to use this method to accumulate spirituality. This seems to be a fairly common method of spiritual accumulation.
"Dream hunting... As expected, this is a method of accumulating spiritual power in dreams. Greg often uses mimicry to go to the dream world. I guess he mainly uses dream hunting to hunt dream creatures... But unfortunately, my dragon mimicry seems to scare away all dream creatures. It will be very difficult to use this dream hunting method to hunt dream creatures..."
