Chapter 309 Dreaming into the Divine Machine
Trapped Freddy in the final lost realm of Dreamland?
Fu Qinghai recalled the plot of Inception.
This method...should be feasible in theory.
But using technological means to deal with supernatural beings... Well, unless it reaches the level of orbital bombing, planetary disintegration, black hole devouring, etc. that completely overturns the table, it is difficult to say whether it will work.
As we all know, dirty things on the supernatural side often don't make sense.
Fu Qinghai just fell into thinking.
"Ahhhh——"
A shrill scream came from a house not far away.
Everyone present turned their heads to look.
The door of the villa facing the street opened with a bang, and a man covered in blood ran out, with three bleeding holes exposed on his chest, and shouted in panic:
"Here he comes, he comes, he..."
With a "pop", he fell to the ground and made no sound.
The "police" surrounding the place suddenly panicked.
Oh haha... I really lost it.
Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning looked at each other.
"Freddy showed the ability to create dreams within dreams in the first film of 'A Nightmare on Elm Street'. Playing with deep dreams in front of Freddy is tantamount to trying to do the same thing."
Zhang Yuning said disdainfully.
“The ideas and creativity are quite good.”
Fu Qinghai smiled and said:
"And... the timing is perfect, isn't it?"
The previous batch of reincarnators who tried to seal Freddy failed, so Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning could just take the opportunity to intervene in the matter. Otherwise, trying to settle other players without killing people would be a waste of words and very embarrassing. Good operation.
Taking a step back, even if this trick really works, Fu Qinghai will destroy their plan. He and Zhang Yuning made a special trip to capture Freddy. If Freddy is sealed in the Lost Realm by this group of reincarnations, Didn't the two of them come in vain?
So he said "the timing is right."
The two were talking in a low voice, but the scene was already in chaos. People kept rushing out of the house, shouting "doctor" and "doctor" loudly. Several police officers around them had no time to maintain the blockade and turned around and ran towards the inside of the street. In the house, I want to help my companions get out of trouble.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Fu Qinghai gently pushed away the two police cars and walked towards the depths of the street.
"First of all, let's be clear, Freddy is an earthbound spirit."
Zhang Yuning followed Fu Qinghai and introduced to him as he walked:
"The scope of his ability is Elm Street, just like the scope of Chu Renmei's ability is Huangshan Village."
"Secondly, Freddy's existence itself has certain memetic properties - as long as there are still people who remember Freddy's existence, no matter how many times he dies, he will continue to be resurrected."
Freddy is virtually immortal.
Although he, like other Western evil spirits, is afraid of Bibles, holy water, crosses and other Christian-related items (he is also afraid of them in dreams), these things can hurt him, but they cannot kill him.
In the third movie, Freddy's bones were dug out and soaked in holy water, and he was still able to be resurrected in the fourth movie. Of course, all this can be attributed to the so-called high-dimensional rule of "box office is king."
"Theoretically, the only way to kill Freddy is to kill everyone who remembers Freddy."
Zhang Yuning said lightly:
"But this is obviously impossible. We cannot kill all reincarnations, nor can we kill ourselves."
Actually there is another way.
Fu Qinghai said in his heart.
What if Doctor Strange used magic to make people in the entire universe forget the existence of "Freddy Krueger", just like in "Spider-Man 3: No Home", people forgot "Spider-Man is Peter Parker" "Likewise, Freddy may disappear completely and never be resurrected.
Forgetting is the antidote to memetic contagion.
Although Freddy is immortal, his fighting ability is not that strong.
First of all, unless he obtains the "Necronomicon", an artifact of the Cthulhu universe, Freddy will not be able to appear in reality and can only kill people in dreams.
Secondly, Freddy's power comes from people's fear. If the dreamer has no fear at all, Freddy's power will be greatly weakened.
Compared with other monsters and monsters, Fu Qinghai is not very afraid of Freddy. Space warriors have an organ called ganglia, and the left and right hemispheres of the brain rest alternately. They can stay up for long periods of time without sleeping, and once they sleep, they are in deep sleep and cannot dream. Even if Freddy has the ability to "force dreams as long as he falls asleep", Fu Qinghai still Force meditation can be used as a substitute for sleep.
As long as you stay up all the time, there's nothing Freddy can do to you.
Defeating Freddy is easy, killing Freddy is hard.
——This is the conclusion of Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning.
But for this group of players, the top priority is to wake up their teammates quickly, free them from their dreams, return to reality, and get rid of Freddy's pursuit.
Reincarnators who are dream makers know that if you die in a dream, you can wake up in reality, but if you are killed by Freddy in a dream, you will also die in reality.
There is a setting contradiction here.
However, this universe is Freddy's home court after all, and he can tell whose rules work with his feet.
The player in the dream may be trying to commit suicide before being killed by Freddy. In reality, players are busy using pre-set devices to create a sense of weightlessness and falling, hoping to awaken their teammates.
Some people managed to wake up.
And some people suddenly and strangely began to have various horrific wounds on their bodies - claw marks, burns, penetrations, tears... and then they never woke up again.
At this moment, the reincarnations in the room were like a bunch of anxious and panicked headless flies - some teammates were still in a dream state, and their heaving chests, rapid breathing, and the bruises and wounds that appeared one after another on their bodies were all hints. They are being brutally tortured by Freddy, an evil spirit who loves to gain strength through torture and intimidation. Of course, he will not let the players die easily before he has had enough.
"boom--"
There was a loud bang outside the window.
Black gold armor fell from the sky.
The huge noise outside the house made everyone in the house jump into action. Before they could react, the door was pushed open. A tall and burly armored warrior leaned half in, and a low and slightly distorted voice sounded:
"Where is your pharmacist? Is he still alive?"
The players in the room looked at each other in confusion. One of the players subconsciously glanced at the teammate next to him, a young man wearing a peaked cap, with a pile of bottles, cans, pipettes, syringes and the like in front of him.
"You are a pharmacist, right?"
Fu Qinghai ordered unceremoniously:
"Give me a copy of Automata."
"Ah this..."
The pharmacist hesitated.
Fu Qinghai strode in. The swords and guns he wore clanked with his steps. He looked extremely ferocious with his teeth and claws. Faced with the full oppression brought by the armored giant, the young man in charge of preparing the dream potion did not dare to say any nonsense. He handed over a potion sincerely.
Fu Qinghai took the syringe, turned and walked towards the door. Passing by several "policemen", he said calmly:
"After the matter is over, give me a set of dream machines and automatic dream elements as a reward for leading you to win. Now I have only one request...don't cause trouble."
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Fu Qinghai walked out of the room.
It seemed like he was just giving an order, with no intention of discussing it with them.
Zhang Yuning stood quietly in front of an evacuated house, waiting for Fu Qinghai.
Fu Qinghai came to Zhang Yuning, took her right hand, lifted up the sleeve of her clothes, revealing her white arm, inserted the syringe into the vein on the inside of her elbow, pressed slowly to complete the injection, and then whispered:
"Sleep peacefully, I will watch over you."
"Um."
Zhang Yuning said softly "Hmm".
Then he closed his eyes and tilted his head, and his whole body fell limply into Fu Qinghai's arms.
Zhang Yuning always looked soft and submissive in front of Fu Qinghai. Compared with her cold and arrogant look in front of other people, she was completely different.
It seems a bit green tea, but he likes it very much.
Fu Qinghai picked up Zhang Yuning, walked into the house, placed the unconscious woman on the sofa, then pulled out the chain sword and bolt gun, and waited quietly in the living room.
