Vol 4 Chapter 346: Face fear

　　 Looking at Xia Libing who was sleeping on the bed, Xiang Kun had to pull over the quilt and cover her to prevent her from catching a cold.
　　 then untied the elastic bands in her hair and spread it out.
　　 Then he took out the eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving from the cabinet and put it on the bedside, next to the box containing the chopsticks.
In Xia Libing's usual style, since she made it clear that her goal was to try Xiang Kun's dreams inspired by the eight-arm and eight-eyed woodcarving, she also brought another emotion-infused item, chopsticks, and placed it beside her head. , Obviously has a purpose.
　　 Sitting on the computer chair in the room, looking at the eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving placed on the bedside, Xiang Kun did not immediately sense, but first deduced the situation in his dreams for a while.
Judging from many previous dream perception experiences, the dreams and emotions caused by the eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving have a relatively strong negative effect and subsequent influence. This is why he asked for this wood carving from Tang Baona’s grandfather. The reason why it has been "sealed" in the cabinet.
So regardless of whether the eight-armed eight-eyed woodcarving can successfully arouse Lao Xia’s dream, how to judge Lao Xia’s state and limits after motivating, how to provide help and support to her in the dream, when to end the dream, and in what way, All need to make a plan first.
　　 These questions should have been discussed and settled by Lao Xia before the induction and before falling asleep.
　　 As a result, Lao Xia is too sleepy now, and she just went to sleep in seconds. It is difficult to pull Lao Xia to wake up and let her fall asleep after discussion. Then I can only grasp and decide by Xiang Kun.
　　 Five minutes later, after considering various possibilities, and thinking about multiple plans, Xiang Kun began to sense the eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving, and then a large amount of sensory information poured in, and it really succeeded in arousing Lao Xia's dream.
　　 It seems that this emotion also has an effect on Lao Xia.
　　 In the dream, Xiang Kun observed the surroundings through Lao Xia's perception.
　　 This is a dim and unclear world, and I can't see the surrounding situation clearly, as if it is in space, boundless, but there is an invisible field under her feet, making her stand firmly on the ground.
　　 A strong sense of hunger drives her, constantly searching around, trying to find something to eat, but there is nothing, it seems that there is nothing.
　　 Hungry, so hungry.
　　 My body is getting weaker and weaker, and I can even feel the passing of life, my stomach is constantly shrinking, my internal organs are failing, and my muscles are constantly breaking down.
　　 Xiangkun felt that in Xia Libing's dream perception, she was like a candle, constantly "melting", little by little, feeling that she was "melted" by hunger and heading towards death.
　　 is the same as hunger, this is the body's most instinctive reaction, the most primitive feedback.
　　 Xiangkun can clearly perceive the source of Xia Libing's fear. This should also be a sequelae caused by the doctor Li who was treating her as a child.
　　 Or in other words, the death threat and fear caused by this extreme hunger is the main way of "treatment". Only with this method can the little Lao Xia integrate into the lifestyle of a normal person and understand what can be done and what must not be done.
　　 In a dream, after being horrified by hunger and death, Xia Libing was not as panic, hysterical and panic as ordinary people.
　　 shared the perceptions and emotions in Lao Xia's dream from the first point of view. Xiang Kun knew that she was constantly observing her surroundings, even if she could tell at a glance, there was nothing around her.
It seems that even if she has not yet "waked up" in her dream, Lao Xia's instinct is still dominated by reason. Even if she perceives the strongest fear, she is not simply thinking about running away or avoiding, but how to "solve"— —Although normally speaking, this is an endless loop and an unsolvable problem.
　　 Then, Lao Xia saw a white door in the distance. There was a window on the door and a fuzzy face on the window.
　　 Lao Xia ran over quickly, and as the distance drew closer, when she saw the face on the window clearly, she couldn't help but slow down.
　　 It was a face with two rows of eight eyes, it was a monster.
In an instant, the entire door merged with the monster, not only the head with eight eyes, but also the huge and weird body with eight arms, giving people a strong feeling-the only door is also It's impossible to go out.
　　 She is going to be starved to death in this void. This is the instinctive feeling of Lao Xia in her dream.
　　 In the next instant, extreme sanity came, and Xia Libing "waked up" from the dream.
　　 Xiangkun’s perspective of perceiving dreams can be shifted, and the support of the dreams has been transferred from him to ten
super-connected things
that have established a special connection with Xia Libing.
　　 Compared with the previous few times that she used chopsticks to trigger Xia Libing's dreams, this time she "waked up" a bit slower in her dreams.
　　 And in the previous dream, the emotions brought by the chopsticks triggered the dream, after Xia Libing "wakes up", it will be quickly suppressed by her reason. But this time, Xiang Kun could clearly feel that the emotions brought by the eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving, the fear of death caused by extreme hunger, were still there, only slightly weakened.
　　 Although the self-made chopsticks and the eight-arm wood carving trigger the emotions of dreams, there are some similarities, and they are all related to eating and hunger.
　　 But the former's emotions are mainly focused on "eating", the satisfaction of eating, and the urge to possess food. The latter is more about the fear of hunger, the harm to the body, and the threat of death.
Undoubtedly, the intensity and negative level of the latter's emotions are much higher than those of the former. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Lao Xia has no way to completely suppress the negative feelings brought about by emotions even if she is already "awake" in her dream. .
In the dream, Xia Libing observed the surroundings again, and the void space was immediately "filled up". Except that the door was still firmly blocked by an eight-armed eight-eyed monster, other places had actually appeared-right It was the first time Xiang Kun used chopsticks to trigger a dream, in that closed room with nothing.
　　 There is no doubt that this is where Lao Xia’s fear was born.
Xia Libing went directly to the eight-armed eight-eyed monster. The closer she got, the stronger her fear. Even in the dream, Xiang Kun could clearly see her trembling slightly-if not in the dream, he could I directly felt Lao Xia's emotions. From an objective point of view, her performance was more like holding back excitement and excitement, rather than suppressing fear and fear.
　　 But this didn't make her stop. She knew very well that she was in a dream now, and she knew exactly what this eight-armed eight-eyed monster represented.
　　 But no matter how close she approaches, she is always so close to the eight-armed eight-eyed monster, it seems that she will never be able to touch it.
　　 Xia Libing thought for a while, no more futile operations, nine coins and a tungsten steel ball appeared in front of her, the next moment, they all disappeared and turned into a crispy pork elbow.
　　 She ate the pork knuckle gluttonously, and after eating, another piece appeared, and she kept eating.
　　 But after eating a few pieces, she found that neither the process of eating nor the process of swallowing it alleviated hunger and the fear of hunger.
　　 She frowned and thought, raised her head, looked at the empty ceiling, and said, "Chopsticks."
　　 was observing Lao Xia’s Xiang Kun from the perspective of an eight-armed eight-eyed monster, and immediately knew that she was talking to herself, and immediately understood what she meant—she made Xiang Kun feel the chopsticks now.
　　 Normally, in the process of perceiving other people's dreams through the "love objects", he cannot perceive other "love objects" at the same time. But Lao Xia’s dreams are different. When she
wakes up
in her dreams and transfers the support of the dreams to the dream projection of the
super-connected objects
, Xiang Kun’s has the ability to sense other
love objects
Ability, like "freeing up".
　　 Last time, he tried to sense Liu Shiling's chopsticks in his dream, so he successfully merged the dreams of the little fat girl and Lao Xia. The two of them even met in their dreams and "dinner" together.
　　 This time, Lao Xia's "chopsticks" obviously did not refer to Liu Shiling's pair, but the pair that Xiang Kun gave her and is now also placed on the bed.
　　 Xiangkun immediately sensed the pair of chopsticks. After a while, there was a change in the dream. A figure appeared next to Lao Xia. It was the projection of the dream mood of the chopsticks, which was the image of the little fat girl.
　　 The little fat girl who represents appetite and the eight-armed and eight-eyed monster who represents fear, these two "love objects", projections of two different emotions, unexpectedly appeared in the same dream at the same time.
　　 Xiang Kun knows that the underlying structure of Lao Xia’s dream has also undergone great changes. Now this "system" is both windows and linux.
The emotional projection of the chopsticks, the little fat girl, raised her head to look at the eight-armed eight-eyed monster who was not far away, and approached Xia Libing, took a chicken wing to her, and then hugged her thigh, looking at it timidly. monster.
　　 Xia Libing ate the chicken wings, and finally felt that his appetite was satisfied. As a result, his hunger was alleviated, and his fear was also reduced. The eight-armed and eight-eyed monster also seemed to be less ferocious and smaller in size.
Xia Libing dragged a chubby girl holding her thigh, while eating chicken wings, he leaned close to the eight-armed eight-eyed monster and watched carefully. From time to time, she used a scalpel to draw a scalpel on the monster. A few clicks, a few pokes.
Xiang Kun suddenly realized that Xia Libing had such a great interest in the eight-armed eight-eyed woodcarving, perhaps because he heard the group illusion made by Little Apple before, and he saw that he had made it to three car thieves in the abandoned factory. I also want to try to have a more direct connection with the "love object" outside of the dream, and try to use the projection of the "love object" for its use.
　　 Xiangkun couldn’t help but look forward to it. Will Lao Xia find a way to
appear
the eight-armed and eight-eyed monster in reality through the
fantasy presenting
method?
Although the ability "developed" by the Little Apple ~EbookFREE.me~ can also create "illusions" for others, allowing them to "see" monsters with eight arms and eight eyes, but the objects that "fantasy" come out are not like illusions. There is a fundamental difference.
　　 Xiangkun didn’t even think about what
Juxian
was going to do. He just had a simple feeling that
this function seems to be difficult to implement and difficult to achieve. If it is done, it must be very interesting
.
　　 But judging from the situation of "appearing" other dream objects several times before, it may not be so easy to do it.
　　……
After the dream was over, Xiang Kun opened his eyes, but found that Lao Xia on the bed did not wake up, but was lying on her side curled up, like a baby, sucking on her thumb joint, with a "wine" expression on her face. Satisfaction after a full meal.
　　 It seems that the sleepiness was too intense tonight, or the consumption in the dream was too great, so after the dream ended, she did not wake up, but continued to sleep and rest.
Naturally, Xiang Kun will not wake her up. There will be a lot of things during the day tomorrow, and next, he will fall asleep after drinking blood. Lao Xia is likely to "watch the night", so I have a good rest and enough sleep tonight. important.
　　 He turned away from the computer chair and moved his body from facing the bed to facing the computer.
　　 Because he was afraid of waking Lao Xia, he did not call Alice by voice, but through the keyboard. .
　　 After asking Alice to reply to herself via text, Xiang Kun started to summarize the improvement direction of today's game and re-released the task for Alice.
　　 But unexpectedly, after Alice routinely reported the progress of some tasks she had arranged before, Xiang Kun discovered a situation that made him somewhat unexpected.
