Embers Ad Infinitum

"Enemy attack." Jiang Baimian did not have time to explain the situation in detail to "Garibaldi" Giuseppe, and simply gave the most basic explanation.

At this time, Shang Jianyao had turned his attention to the side window.

The contrast between the night outside and the lights inside was like a mirror, reflecting Shang Jianyao's appearance.

He faced himself and said in a deep voice:

"look:

“This world is probably just a dream and doesn’t need to be taken so seriously;

“We can’t tell now when we are awake and when we are dreaming;

"so……"

After a brief pause, Shang Jianyao came to his own conclusion.

He raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile:

"So, we are actually always dreaming, always dreaming."

Long Yuehong was confused after hearing this, and couldn't help but ask:

"Can't you exert influence over yourself without using a mirror?"

At most, the relevant conditions of "reasoning clown" need to be stated.

"If I don't do this, how can I show you an example?" Shang Jianyao replied confidently.

Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, nodded thoughtfully:

"Do you want to classify all encounters as dreams, regardless of reality and dreams? In this way, as long as you keep this in mind, you will not die in reality due to fatal injuries in dreams..."

If you subconsciously have the understanding that "it's a dream", no matter how real the dream is, it will at most frighten you, but will not trigger corresponding physiological changes and lead to sudden death.

"How can there be reality? Everything is a dream!" Shang Jianyao emphasized firmly.

He then opened his arms, raised his body slightly, looked into the air and said:

"Everything is a fantasy, why take it seriously?"

The "reasoning clown" he just used was based on the teachings of the "Dragon Cult".

This is the basis for "inference" to be established smoothly and with good results.

"Do you want us to accept this concept?" Jiang Baimian considered the words to adapt to Shang Jianyao's meaning and not break his current state. After all, the "reasoning clown" can easily be exposed by contrary facts or certain remarks. of.

Obviously, using "idea" rather than "reasoning" at this time is more in line with Shang Jianyao's cognition.

Shang Jianyao laughed:

"Yes, no matter what happens in the dream, it is still a dream and will not have any real impact. If we understand and master this fact, there will be no problem."

He indirectly answered Jiang Baimian's question in the affirmative.

Hearing this, Long Yuehong had to admit that Shang Jianyao's method made some sense, but he felt that there seemed to be something wrong or omitted in it.

He thought for a while and said:

"If we don't distinguish between reality and dreams, and treat everything as a dream, we can indeed avoid the influence of 'real dreams'. But in this case, what if we are really in reality? Face the attack of reality with the attitude of facing dreams, It doesn’t seem very stable…”

Will be careless, paralyzed, and contemptuous.

A realistic attack can directly bring death.

Shang Jianyao smiled:

"The whole dust itself is a dream. Unless you enter a new world, you will always be in a dream and there will be no real reality."

It's a bit strong words... Long Yuehong knew that Shang Jianyao's theory was wrong, but he couldn't find anything wrong for the moment.

Shang Jianyao continued:

"Moreover, even in a dream, we cannot just surrender and let others slaughter us.

"When you play a game, do you allow the characters you control to die, lose experience, and lose equipment just because it's a game?"

"No." In this regard, Long Yuehong still has the determination to win.

Shang Jianyao smiled again:

"so……"

As soon as this "so" came out, Long Yuehong's heart trembled. He always suspected that he had fallen into the "reasoning clown" without knowing it.

"So, whether in reality or in dreams, we must try our best to avoid things that can hurt ourselves. And if it is really impossible to avoid, in dreams, you still have a chance to survive. In reality, it is really a game. It's over." Shang Jianyao further explained, "It's better to treat it as a dream."

That's right, what is unavoidable in dreams is probably unavoidable in reality... Long Yuehong initially agreed with Shang Jianyao's theory.

"Hurry up." Jiang Baimian urged Shang Jianyao, "While everyone can still 'communicate', well, whether this is reality or a dream of networking, it is better than a single dream without communication."

Shang Jianyao immediately used the "reasoning clown" to spread the "doctrine", and at the same time convinced Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Giuseppe that the entire gray earth was a dream and that attacks and injuries should not be taken so seriously.

His "Mystery Clown" can now affect nine at a time, but only if the corresponding conditions can be shared.

Of course, he can't guarantee the final result. After all, everyone's experience and cognition are different, and the conclusions that can be distorted by the same conditions have their own particularities. Shang Jianyao can only say that he will try his best to guide.

Fortunately, in terms of dreams, the four people in the car all "reasoned" and came up with similar results.

"Slow down a little, then a little slower." Jiang Baimian turned his head and ordered Bai Chen.

Bai Chen said without paying too much attention:

"It's a dream anyway. Moreover, this speed is considered too slow even in the city. As long as I'm watching, there won't be an accident."

"Don't think so." Jiang Baimian said seriously, "Maybe it's a dream within a dream. If you don't slow down, you might cause the dream outside to have a car accident. Although it's okay to have a car accident in the dream, it's equivalent to a failure."

Bai Chen thought about it carefully and couldn't quite understand what the team leader meant, but it was not a big deal to slow down the car at all. She was too lazy to argue and let the jeep move like a large snail.

Buzz!

A motorcycle passed it.

Jingle Bell!

A bicycle passed it.

hehe.

Several passers-by laughed and passed it.

Beep! Beep!

The vehicles behind either urged the Jeep, which seemed to have run out of battery, or moved around it.

Bai Chen remained unmoved and drove slowly, thinking it was all a dream.

Shang Jianyao raised his hand and touched his chin, his expression turned serious:

"Now there is one more question."

"What's the problem?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

Shang Jianyao said seriously:

"What if the enemy launches a physical attack in reality while we are all in the dream?"

"This..." Long Yuehong immediately realized the seriousness of this problem.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the air around him became thicker and soon solidified into "iron plate".

His breathing immediately became less smooth, and less and less oxygen entered his lungs.

This reminded Long Yuehong of her encounter on the seventh floor of Xikaluo Temple.

He subconsciously turned his attention to Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian and other companions.

Seeing this, Long Yuehong was so frightened that she almost suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest.

Except for Bai Chen, who he couldn't see, who was directly in front, everyone else's expressions became dull and their eyes were extremely dull.

They sat there, letting their faces gradually turn red and turning purple, and letting their breathing become faster and faster, but it had no effect.

Just as Long Yuehong was about to push Shang Jianyao out of the car, her body felt cold, as if some kind of cold breath had invaded her body.

His movements quickly became stiff, his thinking became slower and slower,

He felt difficulty breathing and felt the discomfort of someone pinching his neck.

But there was nothing he could do about it, he could only watch and endure it in a daze.

Not long after, he saw in extreme pain that the faces of Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Giuseppe had all turned blue and their tongues were sticking out.

Long Yuehong's head then entered a state of confusion, and his vision suddenly turned black.

Dying? Is this a near-death experience? Fortunately it was just a dream, otherwise he would have really died... Long Yuehong's thoughts gradually drifted away.

I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly woke up and found that he was still sitting on the left side of the back seat of the jeep. Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others were also still alive, and there were no changes.

In addition, Bai Chen kept the vehicle moving slowly as before.

"Sure enough, after you know it's a dream, you won't really die when you wake up. The human body has a self-protection mechanism under extreme conditions." Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, sighed with emotion.

She immediately said to Shang Jianyao:

"One more 'reasoning clown'."

With the concept of "awakening", the previous "reasoning" has been destroyed.

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao was very proactive and enthusiastic about this.

…………

In the real world, the sapphire blue Jeep drove forward like a snail, attracting many surprised looks, honks, and curses.

In the car, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Giuseppe all leaned back on their seats and closed their eyes tightly.

Their breathing was very smooth and long, as if they were in deep sleep.

At this time, a brown off-road vehicle drove out of the diagonal thorn.

Its windows rolled down, revealing a rocket launcher loaded with anti-tank rounds.

The dark mouth of the rocket launcher was aimed at the Jeep of the "Old Tune Team".
