Chapter 172 Three-Step Strategy
Old horror rumors, continuous nightmares.
The strange monster codenamed "ghost messenger" may be born from the purest fear of children?
Yu Ke forgot about the matter of the alien world.
He told Wu Huai the news as soon as possible and asked him to bring people over immediately.
Since the advent of the era of catastrophe, the Disaster Prevention Bureau has accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with various supernatural events.
Facts have proved that the occurrence and subsequent evolution of supernatural events are not without traces.
As long as you can grasp the key in the complicated clues, you will most likely find the root cause of all this.
Wu Huai, who received the news, rushed to the scene half an hour later. At the same time, the district head of the city where Qingyaling is located and a group of government officials also rushed to the scene. Obviously, they received the information from the Disaster Prevention Bureau and must cooperate with the actions of Yu Ke and others.
Everyone gathered in the shopping mall management room in the Qingyaling scenic spot, including the mother and son who were temporarily left by Yu Ke.
With the help of government officials, Yang Chunxiao asked for information about the mother and son, trying to further understand what happened in the community before and after the appearance of the strange monster. He would have to go to the community to investigate later.
"It's almost six hours before dark. Before the strange monster appears again, we should find out the cause of the children's nightmares as soon as possible, and where the dirty things in the dream come from. We should check the communities around Qingyaling. Maybe there are similar situations. Other areas where strange monsters have appeared should also conduct relevant investigations. I want to know whether this is a common phenomenon or a special phenomenon that occurred at the beginning of the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade!"
Concerning his own strange collection, Yu Ke didn't waste words. As soon as Wu Huai arrived, he told him all his judgments and ideas.
There is no doubt that the workload is huge if you want to complete the investigation task mentioned by Yu Ke.
To complete such a large-scale screening in a short period of time, a large number of people must be mobilized. It is impossible to rely on Yu Ke alone or several teams of extraordinary people from the special service department.
No, it can only rely on Wu Huai. It should be said that Shanqing City officials mobilized grassroots forces.
"Understood. I will report the situation here immediately."
Last night at the crossroads, Yu Ke had already proved his ability. With Fang Xuanhe's approval, Wu Huai had no doubts about the former's request. He immediately took out his mobile phone to contact the senior management of the Disaster Prevention Bureau, and then they contacted the Shanqing Municipal Government.
The Disaster Prevention Bureau and the Shanqing Municipal Government took quick action.
Wu Huai found Yu Ke on the top viewing platform again and talked about the latest situation of the Hundred Demons Night Parade.
"Last night, there were a total of 37 areas in the city where strange monsters appeared. More than half of them had strange monsters invading the world. Although the duration was not long, it still caused a considerable degree of damage and civilian casualties. The speed of the deterioration of the situation was far beyond expectations."
It has only been a few days since the first invasion of the strange monsters. It can be seen that the situation is on the verge of getting out of control. If all this cannot be stopped as soon as possible, I am afraid that the night of Shanqing City will inevitably fall into large-scale chaos.
The scope of the dream space is too wide, and the strange monsters generally have powerful abilities.
Unfortunately, the Disaster Prevention Bureau is short of manpower now. Not to mention the recent serious loss of personnel, even in its heyday, it is impossible to provide reinforcements to the whole city. If the source of all this in the dream space cannot be solved, no matter how much effort is made, it will be in vain.
Yu Ke did not respond, leaning on the railing of the observation deck and looking at the river.
He certainly knew what would happen if the Hundred Demons Night Parade incident continued to deteriorate.
Its severity and adverse effects are even far greater than the Pandora incident.
After all, the latter was infected in the Mirror Lake Forest, and the monsters descended in Shanqing City!
Only God knows how terrifying it would be for a giant city to become the "hell" of the world!
"Besides, the children had nightmares more than two months ago. Not to mention these children, how many details of the nightmares can adults remember? It is probably difficult to get valuable information if we ask them now."
There was a lively group of tourists approaching nearby, Wu Huai walked to Yu Ke's side and said in a low voice.
When ordinary people dream, they will forget 70% to 80% of it after waking up, and this is even more true for children.
They even have difficulty describing what they dreamed about, so how can they tell the content of the nightmare more than two months ago?
"Knowing the content of the nightmare is only part of the investigation. What we really need to determine is whether the continuous nightmares have only erupted in this urban area. This determines whether the owner of the fantasy space we are looking for has stayed here at first!"
Yu Ke turned around and looked at Wu Huai, paused, and then continued,
"If you want to solve this incident, there are only two options. Either wait for the guy who created the fantasy space to actively invade the real world and destroy it in the real world."
"No, we don't have that much spare time. If we just wait like this, the entire Shanqing City will fall into chaos. Absolutely not!"
Before Yu Ke finished speaking, Wu Huai denied the first option with a resolute tone.
"Then there is only one way. We enter the fantasy space and find the monster. This is the main reason why I want to confirm whether there is a special connection between the nightmares that frequently appeared in the Qingyaling area more than two months ago and this Hundred Demons Night Parade incident."
"The fantasy dream space is related to nightmares. Do you think the space where the monsters exist is a dream?"
Being able to become one of the captains of the special service department, Wu Huai is undoubtedly a leader among the extraordinary and extraordinary people in terms of strength and wisdom. Yu Ke only reminded him a little, and he guessed the latter's implication.
"It is very likely. The fantasy dream space is always related to dreams. If you want to solve the Hundred Demons Night Parade incident as soon as possible, it is like putting an elephant in a refrigerator. To put it bluntly, there are three steps."
Yu Ke believed that the information given by the leak-filling trait would not be false. He raised three fingers and put them down one by one, saying,
"The first step is to enter the fantasy dream space, the second step is to kill the source of the monsters, and the third step is to withdraw before the fantasy dream space collapses."
"How to enter the fantasy dream space?"
Wu Huai heard Yu Ke say it was very simple, but in fact it was extremely difficult to meet the first step.
"As long as we confirm that the fantasy dream space is connected to nightmares, then what we should do is to use this channel to enter the fantasy dream space. As for how to enter, whether it is supernatural powers, strange containment objects or other methods. This is not something you and I worry about. It depends on the ability of the Disaster Prevention Bureau!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Yu Ke said that he was powerless to enter the fantasy dream space.
Judging from the fact that the monsters can invade the real world, the barrier between the fantasy dream space and the real world is not unbreakable.
As long as we find a way, we can cross this barrier.
However, whether it is Yu Ke, Sen Ling or Wu Huai, they are not capable of doing this. They can only hope that there is a way to solve the problem within the Disaster Prevention Bureau.
To put it bluntly, Yu Ke is just a helper who came halfway. Finding various clues in succession is the limit of his ability. The Disaster Prevention Bureau is the protector of Shanqing City, so of course it has to shoulder the heaviest burden.
After learning the content of the plan, Wu Huai did not stay on the viewing platform for a long time, but immediately led the team to take action after reporting the information.
Yu Ke did not plan to participate in the investigation of nightmares. He was a forest ranger, not a neighborhood committee lady. He had no idea about the various districts in Shanqing City. Forcing himself to get involved would only be a waste of energy.
Therefore, after visiting various scenic spots in Qingyaling, Yu Ke went straight back to the hotel and continued to visualize the dragon's mind.
If his guess was correct, the Disaster Prevention Bureau could find a way to enter the fantasy dream space. In order to completely solve the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts, the Shanqing City Disaster Prevention Bureau would definitely form a team to hunt down the source of the monsters.
As long as there was a clear escape route, not a one-way ticket, Yu Ke would not mind entering the fantasy dream space to find the monster that created the fantasy dream space and many monsters.
Eliminating this level of existence would definitely gain a lot of experience for the [Investigator] profession, as well as the harvest of trophy characteristics. Yu Ke had not seen any trophies of gold quality or above.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Huai called to inform Yu Ke of the current investigation.
The safety of the entire Shanqing City is at stake, and the efficiency of government departments in executing the tasks assigned by the Disaster Prevention Bureau has been greatly improved.
The first is the location where the strangeness was first discovered.
According to the existing intelligence analysis, the "ghost messenger" found on the top viewing platform of Qingyaling is indeed the first case. Then, through the investigation of residents around the areas where strangeness has appeared in various urban areas, it can be basically determined that nightmares have only occurred in residential areas near Qingyaling, and most of them are concentrated in children aged eight to twelve.
At present, the information collection on the content of nightmares is still in progress, and the situation is not smooth.
As Wu Huai said, most of these young children do not remember the specific content of the nightmare, but only know that it is very scary. Occasionally, there are a few who have a better memory, but they cannot describe it accurately, and they are all vague sentences.
"Keep asking. Children sometimes tell their parents when they have nightmares. You can also ask the parents if they still remember it during the questioning process."
Thinking of the mother and son he met on the mountain road, Yu Ke reminded Wu Huai on the phone, and then asked about the situation at the Disaster Prevention Bureau.
"Now it can be basically confirmed that the fantasy dream space is related to dreams. Has the Disaster Prevention Bureau found a way to enter the fantasy dream space?"
"The internal meeting of the Disaster Prevention Bureau has just ended. We have contacted the General Administration, but we have not yet found a way to cross the space barrier."
"Is that so? Then there is no way."
Hearing this, Yu Ke was somewhat disappointed. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he heard Wu Huai say again,
"However, there are strange collection objects in the Disaster Prevention General Administration that can allow people to enter other people's dreams. The objects have been urgently airlifted here, escorted by three fighter jets, and will arrive in the evening if everything goes well!"
Directly crossing the space barrier is too difficult, but entering other people's dreams is another matter.
In other words, what Yu Ke and others have to consider now is how to use dreams to try to establish a connection with the fantasy dream space.
Use dreams as a springboard to enter the dream space!
