Even at the critical moment when the "disappearance" of [Chastity] left a vacancy on the board of trustees of St. George's University.
Chris also used her enormous wealth to place one of her own people into the board of directors.
This will allow us to learn more about the Thorn Cult's influence on St. George's University and its arrangements.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe, having finished his "remote inspection work," simply turned off the "screen" projected in front of him.
He recalled that when he was in the Star River Church, he had used the [Key] to enter the Dreamland.
I saw the Star River Church in the dream world, which looked different from reality.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe was also interested in what the Rose Manor, where he had lived for so long, looked like in the dream world.
Even a "holy church" with a "positive image," like the Galaxy Church, can be drastically altered.
If we look at it from the perspective of the dreamlike world, it transforms into a cold and eerie church, a stark contrast.
So it wouldn't be surprising if Rose Manor became an abandoned manor surrounded by thorns and overgrown with weeds in the dream world.
In addition, Gu Xinghe planned to enter the Dreamland at this time to see what the Rose Manor looked like.
I also wanted to use this as an opportunity to conduct a small experiment—
Because dreams are a combination of human imagination and subconsciousness in reality.
Therefore, inanimate objects in reality often have corresponding counterparts in dreams—
Such as buildings, topography, and certain other items.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe sensed Eiffel still busy inside the castle.
This time, he wanted to see what Eiffel, who had now vaguely developed a sense of self and emotions, looked like in the dream world.
Or, to put it another way, will the current Eiffel Tower still be reflected in the dream world?
With this curiosity in mind, Gu Xinghe, holding the [key], once again entered the Dreamland.
But at this moment, the Rose Manor appeared before Gu Xinghe.
It was not the abandoned manor or cozy home he had guessed it would be.
Because at this moment, Gu Xinghe saw that not only did Eiffel not exist in the dream world.
Even the entire Rose Manor itself doesn't exist in the Dreamland.
The scenery around the manor in reality still appeared in the dream world.
But its center seemed to have been hollowed out, and the entire Rose Manor disappeared along with it.
Gu Xinghe was no stranger to the situation where scenes that appeared in reality were not mapped onto the dream world.
For example, the ghoul fire he created next to the cemetery in the far north snow country.
Similarly, it was not "manifested" in the dream world in a timely manner.
This is because the components of a dream world originate from the collective unconscious of humankind.
When people in the real world have not yet formed a collective public understanding of a certain thing.
This can lead to a situation where an object that already exists in reality appears in the dream world with a delay.
Conversely, it is also influenced by human imagination and subconsciousness.
If humans still hold a consistent, enduring understanding of a vanished object, without it dissipating.
Even if it has been completely destroyed and no longer exists in reality.
However, as long as people in reality maintain a "public awareness" of this item or its existence.
Then it will continue to exist in the dream world, thus achieving "eternity" in another sense.
Perhaps this is the true reflection of the idea that "as long as someone remembers that something exists, it will not truly die."
But the situation Gu Xinghe is currently facing is the complete opposite—
Although Rose Manor has not been forgotten in reality, it has been completely "dead" in the dream world.
Is it because the concept of "collective" in the collective's understanding of Rose Manor is not broad enough?
Rose Manor was built by Chris in this remote place specifically to avoid the Thorn Cult's search.
Although people occasionally come to the manor to attend banquets, or players come to participate in game instances.
However, it is clear that the resulting "cognition" is still insufficient.
In addition, aside from some places that are open to the public.
Others knew even less about the true state of the rest of the manor.
Therefore, it lacks the support of collective understanding.
It's not surprising that the Rose Manor couldn't be "manifested" in the dream world.
But looking at the center of the surrounding scenery, it seemed as if a blank area had been forcibly carved out.
Gu Xinghe felt that the current state of the vanished Rose Manor in the dream world was particularly strange.
The boundary between the area where Rose Manor should have been and the surrounding scenery was so clear.
Is the Rose Manor unseen in the Dreamland truly because too few people know of its existence?
At this moment, Gu Xinghe remembered the little-known wheat field town he had visited during the [Crop Circle] instance.
It was a poor town that wasn't marked on the map, located in a remote area, and where people even had to pay with food.
When it was in that town, the red spider left its mark there and turned the whole town into its nest.
So, after returning to reality, Gu Xinghe patted the red spider in his arms.
Let it take you to the wheat field town among its countless "homes" to "separate".
When Gu Xinghe repeated the same operation and entered the dreamlike space corresponding to Wheat Field Town...
What appeared before him was an abandoned town with countless white maggots crawling on the ground.
The dense swarms of white maggots left no place to step.
But what Gu Xinghe cared about most was the "edge of the map" in Wheat Field Town.
The pixels that appeared looked like they were floating in the air.
These "pixels" that make up the town of Wheat Field are slowly disappearing, as if gradually eroding the entire town.
Undoubtedly, this was because the residents of Wheatfield had all died overnight, and the outside world knew very little about the town.
The shared understanding of Wheatfield Town among real people is gradually disappearing.
Having lost its means of survival in the real world, Wheat Field Town also struggles to survive in the dream world.
At this moment, what appeared before Gu Xinghe was a state of disappearance, going from existence to non-existence.
But looking at the wheat field town, it seems to be getting closer and closer to the state of the rose manor in the dream world.
Gu Xinghe still felt that there were differences between the two.
Putting aside these thoughts for the time being, Gu Xinghe left the dream world and returned to the Rose Manor in reality to begin his rest.
