Ding Qiaoyun, Yang Jiayue and Song Zhixian did not experience the strange hallucinations. Only Xie Xuan was affected.
This is exactly what the parasite said in the hallucination, he came here specifically to find her.
After being woken up, the others were not in a hurry to continue sleeping. Instead, they began to ask Xie Xuan what she saw in her hallucination.
Although it is half past midnight, it does not prevent them from having a midnight tea party.
Ding Qiaoyun and Yang Jiayue lay on the upper bunk and looked down, while Song Zhixian got out of bed and sat on Xiao Yao's bed with him.
Chongming and Xie Xuan stood nearby, half leaning against the wall. Xie Xuan recalled, "I had a similar dream last night. I dreamed I was standing in an open space similar to our current camp. It was dark all around, but above my head was a bright crescent moon. Then it began to fill, and just as it was about to become full, it shattered and fell towards me."
The others seemed lost in thought. Xie Xuan continued, "The first time, I was about to be hit when Chongming woke me up. Today, I had the same dream again. When the moon fragments were falling towards me, I tried to use my supernatural powers to absorb them. Strangely, the energy I gained from consuming these fragments in the dream seemed to exist in reality as well."
"Then this shouldn't be a simple dream," Ding Qiaoyun said. "The hallucinations probably began from here. Hallucinations are essentially an invisible spiritual realm constructed by the fungus using its vitality. It's theoretically possible to obtain energy from this realm."
Xie Xuan suddenly realized something and continued, "After I devoured all the fragments, the surrounding mushroom forest suddenly spun and ate me. Then I woke up and found myself in a car. Xiao Yao and Chongming were gone. When I was about to look for them, Xiao Yao returned. I sensed something was wrong and ended up killing Yang Jiayue by mistake. Then Xiao Yao killed me."
Yang Jiayue and Xiao Yao, who were caught in the crossfire, said innocently, "Huh?"
"This is a very common thing," Song Zhixian said. "There are quite a few cases of people accidentally killing teammates outside the wall. Before you left the wall, someone should have specifically warned you not to trust your teammates too much."
Xie Xuan nodded. "After being killed, I woke up again. This time, Xiao Yao was still gone, but Chongming was there. However, this Chongming was the parasite that dragged me into the hallucination and impersonated me."
"The parasite?" Ding Qiaoyun asked in surprise. "The parasite outside the wall... is it a person with special abilities?"
"I don't know." Xie Xuan said, "At least his tone doesn't sound like someone from the Ecological Bureau."
Xiao Yao asked: "Did he talk to you? What did he say?"
Xie Xuan did not hide it, "He said he came to see me."
If you are here to find Xie Xuan, it will be troublesome. Now several well-known organizations in District 6 have planted people in this team.
There was no need for the Sixth District Ecological Bureau, the Ecological Organization, and Noah Technology to go through the trouble of bypassing them and sending someone to approach Xie Xuan in such a roundabout way.
But if it weren't for these organizations, not to mention whether other small organizations have channels to get out of the wall, just the fact that this psychic was able to drag Xie Xuan, an A-level psychic, into an illusion when there were so many people in their car, and even two perception-type psychics, would not be something that could be accommodated by a small temple.
Aside from Xie Xuan, everyone else had their own thoughts. Ding Qiaoyun spoke first, "Didn't he say anything else?"
"He didn't say anything special." Xie Xuan said, "But he looked a little... neurotic?"
Although most people with special abilities are more or less abnormal, they behave relatively normally most of the time.
And she didn't know whether the people she saw in the field acted a little neurotic towards her or if that was just their personality.
"Over a hundred years ago, when the Wall and the Human Confederation were established, there were actually people in every place who were unwilling to leave their homes and move inside the Wall," Song Zhixian suddenly said. "Plus, due to the lack of space inside the Wall, eligibility for entry was determined by drawing lots. The same is true for District Six now."
This was the first time Xie Xuan heard about this matter. In the history books of District Six and the Human Confederation currently circulating on the Internet, the part about the construction of the high wall was only mentioned briefly.
"Those who initially disagreed to enter the wall, didn't win the lottery, and have no other channels to enter, have always lived outside the wall."
Except for Xie Xuan, the other four people all knew about this matter, it was just a matter of how much they knew.
"You mean, the person who pulled me into the hallucination might be a native of outside the wall?" Xie Xuan asked.
Song Zhixian nodded and said, "Yes."
But Ding Qiaoyun disagreed, saying, "If they were from outside the wall, how could they have come specifically to find Xie Xuan? It's like they knew her for a long time."
Chongming stood on Song Zhixian's side this time, "People outside the wall have always been connected with those inside the wall."
He looked at Song Zhixian and said, "The outpost outside the wall is also a communication station for official organizations inside the wall and the indigenous people outside the wall. Am I right, Captain Song?"
Song Zhixian did not deny it. "We generally don't call them the indigenous people outside the wall. They call themselves the new humans."
New Humans. This arrogant and presumptuous term easily brings to mind the plan for the evolution of all mankind that the ecological organization is currently trying to promote.
"But they've almost stopped appearing in recent years. At least, the C7 communication station hasn't seen any new humans appear in six years."
Xie Xuan couldn't help but ask curiously, "If they don't show up, don't you have any way to contact them?"
Song Zhixian nodded. "The new humans are also divided into two factions. One is those who voluntarily stayed outside the wall, and the other is those who didn't win the lottery and were forced to stay outside. The former are quite friendly to those inside the wall, while the latter are extremely hostile to those inside the wall."
Xie Xuan felt that this was a very normal thing.
"The problem is that the number of the former is decreasing year by year, while the number of the latter is increasing year by year. Now people inside the wall are not only facing the risk of infection from outside the wall."
Yang Jiayue asked: "With the infection outside the wall so serious, how did they manage to survive for so long and reproduce for several generations without protective measures such as protective clothing and shields?"
"Survival of the fittest," Chongming said. "When District 6 was first established, the probability of winning the lottery to enter the wall was 40%. Although the number of people who actually entered the wall was slightly higher, more than half of them were still left outside."
Song Zhixian nodded. "The lottery ratio and fairness in District 6 are still the highest among the thirteen districts of the Human Confederation. The number of people entering the wall in the district with the lowest ratio is less than 20% of the original country's population."
