Chapter 899： Interleaved mapping (2/2)

"Of course, it is another situation that they are angry ... Since I have already written the relevant details before, I will not say more here.

"All in all, the Shadow Residents feel to me as if they are ... sleepwalking, they seem to be immersed in a half-dream half-awakening dream, and therefore wandering, but they are shallower than human" sleepwalking ", they can be with me Communication, as long as I take the initiative to contact and repeatedly ask some questions, there will be interpretation by the Shadow Residents. Although their interpretation is often muddled, at least I can be sure that they are communicating with me.

"I can't help but wonder, is the Shadow Sleeper's" sleepwalking "the normal feature of this race? It was like this when they were sane? Or ......... I met really a shadow sleeper who was half asleep, and they still There is a state of complete 'waking up' ... I'm not sure about this, or whether it's a good idea to 'wake them up', so no further attempts are made.

"After many exchanges, I learned some interesting knowledge from these shadow creatures, based on their worldview knowledge. They obviously know the material world, but they make our material world a" shallow world ", a weird Salutation, it took me a long time to understand what it means ... shallow world? Interesting.

"... After many inquiries, Shadow Residents told me a vocabulary called" Deep Realm ". This vocabulary seemed to correspond to" Shallow Realm ". When I asked about this vocabulary in depth, I got incredible The Shadow Residents said that they were all born from the "Deep Realm", but when I subconsciously asked whether the "Deep Realm" was "this world" (Shadow Realm), they told me not !!

"They were not born in the shadow world. Although they wandered and survived in this space, the place where they were really born was a world called" Deep World "that anthropologists had never known!

"I considered the difference between the vocabulary of the shadow dwellers and the vocabulary of the present world. They called the material world" shallow realm ", so their" deep realm "may also correspond to a place known to humans, but the saying is different. After many inquiries, I found no evidence in this regard ... There is no evidence to prove what the "deep realm" mentioned by Shadow Residents is, which became a mystery ...

"I think I need to stay here longer.

"There is a Shadow Resident who has maintained a good relationship with me. I started to try to get more" knowledge "from him. Unfortunately, I can't write down the name of this new friend. Shadow Resident has no name, although I I tried to call him something, but he didn't seem to like it ... I would call him 'Brian' in private.

"Brian also failed to help me solve the mystery of the" deep boundary ". In this respect, the information he revealed was similar to other Shadow Residents, but in more conversations, Brian told me something outside the deep boundary. Things ... He mentioned the group of Shadow Residents, he does not care how the mere mortal race of the "shallow realm" calls himself this group, he just said, "We are walking on the edge of a dream, wandering along the border of the sober world" , This is his original words ...

"A very mysterious and seemingly metaphorical sentence, I tried to interpret it, but suffered from a lack of key clues. What is this" dream "? Brian did not answer ...

"After many attempts, I can only sum up this point: all the Shadow Residents are wanderers walking on the edge of the dream. This seems to be a dream from the deep realm. This dream has been maintained for many years, while the Shadow Residents … They seem to be part of this dream in a sense, at least they think so. They wander along the borders of the dream and walk around over and over again, seeming to outline the dream and the lucid world in this way The dividing line ...

"I think of my" feeling "of them before. They are a half-dream half-wake race, as if sleepwalking. It's muddled. I think I found the empirical evidence of this feeling. They really are" sleepwalking "...

"It makes me a little bit creepy, and further feels that ..." Wake up "these shadow dwellers may not really be a good idea.

"In addition to the progress made on that treacherous" Deep Realm Dream "," Brian "also helped me learn more about the shadow realm, deep realm, and shallow realm ...

"They said that there is a certain relationship between the" deep boundary "and the" shallow boundary ", and the two are actually overlapping. However, the deep boundary and the shallow boundary cannot directly establish a connection. Only a few talented people have noticed The moment they stagger, but those lucky people can't understand it, it's beyond human intelligence ...

"They also talked about the" hometown ", that is, the mysterious" deep realm ". They said that the deep realm was not set in stone. When the shadow dwellers were born, there was a stable and beautiful place. I'm not sure what the shadow dwellers said Whether "beauty" is the concept of "beauty" in the minds of ordinary people in the material world. The aesthetics of the two races may differ greatly, but I can feel that from "Brian" and several other familiar shadow dwellers. The deep realm of loss and frustration is gone.

"In" Brian "parlance, it is now a distorted, desolate, barren and gradual field of madness. The deep realm is moving towards the end, although it has also experienced a short period of" recovery ", but the overall decline and demise It seems to be unstoppable ... The shadow dwellers therefore left the deep realm and wandered into the shadow realm closer to the "shallow realm".

"In addition, they also mentioned one thing. This is a major event that is recorded as a major event in the overall muddled Shadow Resident Ethnic Group. Such a situation is not often seen. They mentioned that not all Shadow Residents are wandering. On the edge of the eternal 'Deep Dream', there was an individual who accidentally fell into a 'wake trap' and took the wrong step out of the sight of the ethnic group ...

"'Brian' told me that it was the only shadow dweller in history who 'woke up'.

"Of course, Shadow Residents don't have" history "," historical "is just an adjective.

"Strangely, although the Shadow Residents referred to this as a" big event ", they didn't seem to care much about it during the conversation. They didn't want to find the" missing "clan, even though it included Many Shadow Residents, including Brian, expressed regret for this, but they did not seem to care more ...

"I asked Brian about it, and his answer was intriguing, he said

"'Why not find it? In the end we all wake up'."
