Chapter 116

Wen Zheng was not aware of the subsequent situation in the institute. He recuperated in the safe house for half a month before going out to inquire about the situation outside.

The most concerned news at present is that an unknown force is against Wen Zheng, the leading awakener in the country. Not only did they launch an attack on the institute, but they also hired someone to have plastic surgery to look like Wen Zheng to commit fraud outside.

This news was specially announced. Now Wen Zheng has been escorted to several secret institutes to continue to perform awakening characters. I hope that the general public will not be easily deceived. If you encounter someone who looks similar to Wen Zheng, report it in time.

Once such a measure comes out, even if Wen Zheng himself is not crowned as a wanted criminal, his face will obviously enjoy the treatment of a wanted criminal. If he could not really change his face with the system store, he would have to run to a deserted place to spend this year.

Wen Zheng could not be found, and the measures to conduct investigations every time caused dissatisfaction among many people. So after half a month, the control was no longer so strict. Relying on years of survival experience, Wen Zheng was not only able to live a good life, but also made up a suitable identity for himself, moved into the safe house openly, and got along well with his neighbors.

Nowadays, with too many people sleeping and dying, the population has decreased significantly, and gradually evolved into the current situation where resources far exceed the population. More people are willing to enjoy their current lives before they are likely to die. Even if the productivity decreases due to the decrease in population, the various resources are sufficient before the disaster. The consequences of the series of impacts brought about by this disaster may not be discovered until a few years later.

After Wen Zheng got familiar with the neighbors, he followed them to experience the life of ordinary people in today's society, which was completely different from the days in the institute before.

Although dreams themselves are an unscientific existence, the institute is more willing to explain and solve this problem with scientific means. But when it comes to ordinary people, in addition to obeying the arrangements of the country, when the number of awakeners is far less than the number of sleepers, they are also willing to try some unscientific methods.

So Wen Zheng, a young man in his twenties whose parents died in their sleep, left his hometown, a sad place, and wanted to go out before they died. He was taken to various Taoist temples and temples nearby by his uncles and aunts next door.

These are buildings that existed legally before the disaster, and after the disaster, there was no propaganda everywhere to believe that they could wake up safely from sleep. People spontaneously wanted to seek psychological comfort, so they were not banned.

Never underestimate the elderly people around who love to chat. They often know some news that is only secretly circulated among the elderly.

Because of their limitations in thinking, they will not completely obey the content released by the government like young people. Occasionally, they will do some actions that they think are harmless, which may sometimes bring quite serious consequences, but they will be the safest channel for Wen Zheng to inquire about the news.

Wen Zheng followed his uncles and aunts to these places several times, and helped him with his image when he had nothing to do. Gradually, the relationship improved, and Wen Zheng saw several secret magic weapons that were not casually promoted.

When he saw the red paper with familiar fonts, Wen Zheng actually rejected it in his heart. When he saw the familiar face appearing in the photo, he had to use his greatest strength to suppress the twitching corners of his mouth, and only showed a shocked look on his face.

"Isn't this a portrait of Wen Zheng?" Wen Zheng suppressed many words he wanted to complain, and finally uttered the most normal question.

Those pieces of red paper with fonts were the ones that Wen Zheng had written and were taken away by others to get some blessings. The one that Aunt Wang took out was not the original. Wen Zheng really didn't expect that those papers were not only not thrown away casually, but also copied and circulated everywhere.

"Yes, it's Wen Zheng who awakened many sleepers. I heard that the words on this paper are what he wrote to others after he woke up for the first time. There is also his photo. Put it under the pillow, so that you can have fewer nightmares. This is a good person. I heard that someone wanted to harm him some time ago. We all guessed that it was those bad foreigners who did it. Now he is protected by the country, but we still hope that he can survive well. With him, we can save more people. I also heard that someone set up a long-life tablet for him. This is not good. There is no need to do these things when a person is fine." Aunt Wang pulled Wen Zheng into the house and whispered.

Wen Zheng really didn't expect that he even had a tablet. In fact, he didn't do much. After listening, he now felt that the red paper and photos were nothing big. He could hear the concern in Aunt Wang's words. Although some people would arrest him for reasons such as exploring his secrets, more people still hoped for his safety.

Just based on these, Wen Zheng felt that the previous year was not wasted.

"Come here, Auntie Wang has extra copies of red paper. I'll give you one to keep at home, but there's only one photo, and it's not easy to print. I'll bring it to your store in the evening, and you can look for photos in advance. The ones published in the news two days ago are good." Aunt Wang said as she put the copied red paper in her hand into Wen Zheng's hand.

"Thank you so much, Aunt Wang." Wen Zheng came back to his senses and quickly caught it, but as soon as his hand came into contact with the red paper in his hand, he felt something was wrong. He paused for a moment, and then quickly continued, "I will definitely Keep it well."

Under Aunt Wang's guidance, Wen Zheng did not fold it, but placed it flatly inside the book and took it home. After he returned home, he took out the red paper inside with complicated eyes and gently placed his palm on it to feel it. After a few seconds, Wen Zheng let go of his hand. His feeling just now was not wrong. When he touched the red paper, the familiar yet unfamiliar energy flowed happily in the writing.

When Wen Zheng wrote those blessing words on the red letter, he tried to put pure energy into it, but it was difficult to feel the energy after it was far away. Wen Zheng later thought that even if the energy could be exerted in some subtle ways, The effect should have been exhausted long ago.

As a result, I encountered this familiar yet unfamiliar energy today. I was familiar because this energy was born out of Wen Zheng himself, but unfamiliar because there were many powers in it that did not come from Wen Zheng. What's more, Wen Zheng has confirmed that this red paper is of a different type from the paper he used at that time. It is indeed not the batch he sent out originally, but some of the energy has been transferred to it.

After feeling Wen Zheng's breath, the energy contained in the paper was very active, and he was even eager to get into Wen Zheng's body on his own.

Wen Zheng stretched out his hand and felt it carefully again. There was no bad feeling, and there wasn't much energy contained in it. He decided to take a risk and no longer resist the temptation of this energy to return. As soon as he opened a crack in the door, the energy penetrated directly into Wen Zheng's body.

Apart from the pure energy itself, the excess energy also has color. But that color was different from the colored energy absorbed from nightmares. It was warm, filled with worries, expectations, and blessings, all of which contained positive emotions.

After these energies entered Wen Zheng's body, a subtle warmth flowed in his mind. The dark energy that had come from nightmares and was difficult to remove, a very small part of it was destroyed by the impact of these new warm energies. Slowly melting, it's just that the amount of these warm energy is too small, and it is a drop in the bucket in the face of so much dark energy.

Slowly opening his eyes, Wen Zheng looked at the paper in his hand with a hint of surprise. He suspected that there would always be negative emotions that were difficult to suppress when using energy, and it was because of the limbs caused by these dark energies that he had not yet found a way to remove them. He escaped from the research institute and hid here, but found an unexpected surprise.

However, the characteristics of this energy need to be studied more carefully, and it cannot be absorbed too casually.

Recalling the feeling in his mind just now, Wen Zheng guessed that the emotion transmitted to it changed the energy. However, because the energy itself came from Wen Zheng, and the emotion was related to Wen Zheng himself, he had no idea about Wen Zheng at all. any resistance.

Based on this speculation, Wen Zheng has been thinking about whether the nightmare pretending to be a sleeper is related to the Night God Cult in that dream, and how the Night God Cult developed so rapidly. Now he finally has it. A guess.

He was able to accidentally absorb the positive energy that people fed back to him, so did the so-called leader of the Night God Cult accidentally discover this situation and use human emotions to strengthen his own power. However, the Yeshen Cult is a rapidly developing sect, and just by accepting anyone as a follower, it is more like absorbing negative feedback.

Just the dark energy absorbed from nightmares made it difficult for Wen Zheng to suppress negative emotions occasionally. The possibility that the so-called leader of the Night God Cult could bear it without turning into a madman was extremely low.

In other words, the beings who absorb those negative emotions in the Night God Cult are not human beings who exist in this world?

Various possible conjectures flashed through Wen Zheng's mind. Since the game system issued a mission to find the secrets of the Night God Sect after the last dream, then the Night God Sect is definitely related to the last dream. Many conjectures require actual evidence to be verified.

There are more and more questions, but Wen Zheng still needs to search among the crowd to find traces of the Ye Shen Cult. Yunting City, as the birthplace of the Ye Shen Cult, has been experiencing the strongest crackdowns from the government. Wen Zheng quite agrees with this measure, but the Ye Shen Cult has also been hidden deeper, making it very difficult for Wen Zheng to find it. .

According to Aunt Wang, Wen Zheng injected another energy into the red paper, and then placed it flatly under the pillow for safekeeping.

During dinner, Aunt Wang came over again. While asking Wen Zheng to go out for a walk together, she also asked Wen Zheng in a low voice if he had selected the photos. Wen Zheng now knew that Aunt Wang wanted to take him to print. photo.

It's normal to run and print a photo of yourself, but it's a bit embarrassing to use it to pray for safety. But no one knew that Wen Zheng was the person in the photo under his mask, so as long as he wasn't embarrassed, he naturally followed Aunt Wang to a nearby supermarket secretly.

Now, thanks to the efforts of the government, the probability of waking up from a dream for the first time is quite high. According to Aunt Wang, the supermarket owner’s family of four were very lucky to wake up from their first sleep, and so far they are still sleeping. Did not encounter a second sleep.

After the introduction, Wen Zheng saw Aunt Wang and the boss communicating secretly like in a TV series, and asked Wen Zheng to send the selected photos to the boss. The boss took one look, called his wife to come out and gave a warning, and then the wife walked to the room inside the supermarket. The door of the room was only opened a crack, and it was closed immediately after people entered. It was dark inside with no lights on, and it was almost impossible to see. Not sure what.

While waiting, Wen Zheng strolled around the supermarket and bought some daily necessities that were consumed quickly. When I passed the counter selling food, I saw two children standing there choosing. Just by their appearance, you could tell that they were the boss's children.

But what caught Wen Zheng's attention was not the appearance of the two children, but the necklaces they wore around their necks.

The temperature at the end of summer is still so hot, but both children are wearing collared tops that can hide the pendants around their necks in the clothes. Only a part of the red rope is exposed, which looks quite ordinary. But after accidentally dropping the snacks on the shelf, the younger child's necklace slipped from his neck when he lowered his head to pick it up, allowing Wen Zheng to see the pendant.

It feels familiar.

Just when Wen Zheng wanted to continue to identify, the boss who noticed the movement came over quickly, put his body between Wen Zheng and the two children, reached out and stuffed the fallen necklace back into the children's clothes. He pushed his hands on his back: "I know how to eat snacks every day. If you still want to eat at night, go back to the house and do your homework."

The two children didn't dare to say anything and ran to another room in a hurry.

Wen Zheng's expression remained unchanged since he came in, and he said to the boss with an envious expression: "The boss is so lucky to have his wife and children by his side. If it were me, I would definitely not be willing to blame the children."

The boss's serious expression softened, but the doubts in his eyes were not yet eliminated.

Just at this time, the landlady walked out of the room with a bag with photos in her hand. Aunt Wang was waiting in front of the counter and immediately asked Wen Zheng if he had finished his purchase. Wen Zheng walked over with the things in his hand and settled the bill naturally. Follow Aunt Wang and leave.
