If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 387 Crossroads

The Black Hawk helicopter landed, and Lin Nian jumped out of the cabin. The weeds on the lawn were blown by the propellers and spread out in ripples. He faced the strong wind and walked towards the temporary base with tents and lights on the huge open space in the distance. , walk firmly.

The instructor who also jumped off the helicopter behind him bent down and quickly followed him, and shouted loudly behind him:
"According to the characteristics of the word spirit of 'Crossroad', the stronger the bloodline, the more resistant the mixed-race, so at the beginning we sent in from the commissioner of the 'C' bloodline, and after entering the area covering the small town, it was almost He lost his resistance within tens of seconds, was dragged into the spirit of words, and passed out on the ground."

"I believe you must have made preparations."

"Yes, we tied a seat belt on the water test commissioner in advance. After he lost consciousness, we recovered him as soon as possible. He was awakened by medical means, but the result was not satisfactory. After leaving the field, he still remained in a deep sleep. , so we urgently sent him to Chicago, where the medical conditions are better, and an accident happened during the rescue helicopter transportation."

"He's dead?" Lin Nian looked back at the instructor.

"No one woke up, his physical characteristics were normal, and he didn't feel any discomfort. So we hurriedly brought him back to the temporary base, and Minister Schneider was going to personally ask him what he had seen in the field. But it's a pity that the The commissioner has no memories of the field, and his only reliable description is: I feel like I've had a dream, but I can't remember what I dreamed, but I actually know that I've had a dream."

"Dream?"

"Yes. This is very consistent with the characteristics of the word spirit 'Forked Road', which drags the user into a dream and kills the opponent, so we have reason to suspect that this giant field is related to that dangerous hybrid .”

The instructor followed Lin Nian into the temporary base, and the military tents were lined up in an orderly manner on the open space beside the road in the outskirts of the small town of Carmel.All kinds of cutting-edge scientific research equipment can be seen everywhere here, and the small radar-like metal plate is aimed at the direction far away from the temporary base.

People holding electromagnetic radiation detectors trot past from time to time. Cables as thick as a baby's arms are intertwined on the ground. Many researchers in white coats are sitting on the ground, holding laptops full of formulas, The faces full of dark circles illuminated by the cold light are thoughtful, and the Coke they hold in their hands all the time also reveals their actual identities.

"Has the equipment department not given up on setting up and thinking about a rescue plan?" Lin Nian glanced at these people. Under the cover of night, not many people noticed his arrival. He also slightly pulled the neckline to cover his side face.

"They are trying to further decipher the electromagnetic field in the field. If there is a breakthrough, they are going to apply to the school board to transfer the military EMP that is still in the US OAC laboratory and is still in the process of testing. In theory, if this language Most of the domain is composed of electromagnetic fields, so they can rely on equipment to create a high-frequency electromagnetic pulse to hedge against the domain, so maybe they can physically destroy the entire framework of the domain covering the town, When the frame is upside down, the Lingling will be released naturally. It's like throwing a rockery into a pool that already has circles of ripples, and directly knocking off the table."

"There is a high probability that this plan will not be approved. Sometimes the consequence of the collapse of the words is not the release, but another form of destruction, such as the famous Rhine and Candle Dragon." Lin Nian was not interested in the thoughts of these lunatics, but I also have to mention a word to express my opinion, lest they really go to death. After all, this group of lunatics have both ideas and action, and they come up with ideas. These people who were born a few years ago still want to tinker with Gundam Come with Zaku.

"Where's the group of 'A' students who are freshmen and sophomores? Why didn't I see them?" Lin Nian walked half of the temporary military base and stood in the middle of countless tents. He turned his head and glanced around, and all he could see was To the commissioner wearing the trench coat of the executive department and some scientific researchers, "You won't be crazy enough to really let them rush into the field in a suicidal manner, right?"

"Of course not. Although the executive department pursues high efficiency and decisiveness, it is never reckless or reckless."

"Does your conscience really not hurt when you say this?" Lin Nian complained blankly. But he only complained because of his mood problems.

The style of the executive department has always been rough and direct, but it has never caused much trouble.Under the rough and direct surface, all the actions of the executive department are under control. Behind the seemingly chaotic situation, there is always a group of top personnel in their pockets, who can pull out backup plans A, B, C, and D at any time. Manage the situation.

But now that Lin Nian didn't see the group of freshman and sophomore students, it only means that they have found their place here, and Schneider has already made proper arrangements for this group of people.

"Before telling the current situation of the 'A' students, I have to continue to explain to you the follow-up development after the first water test failed." The instructor led Lin Nian to continue walking, and said as he walked, "You remember what I said about the awakening of the Class 'C' Commissioner after we took him away from the far reaches of the realm?"

"Minister Schneider put forward an idea about the phenomenon that happened to the 'C' level commissioner who tested the water. He thinks that the area covering the town is actually larger than we imagined, like a strong magnetic field, without absolute fixation Iron products within the 'red line' of a strong magnetic field will automatically fly over, but if they are outside the red line, will they not be affected by the strong magnetic field?"

"It will still be affected, but not so much." Lin Nian replied decisively.

"Yes. That's why the 'C' level commissioner couldn't get rid of Ling Ling's control after entering the field, because even though he left the red line at that time, he was still under the influence of the temporary base. Affected by the domain, the Class 'C' Commissioner is like entering a spider web, we pulled him out, but there are still invisible filaments stuck to his body!"

"It's a very vivid metaphor." Lin Nian nodded to express his understanding, "Did you get any inspiration from it?"

"After the 'C' level commissioner entered the field and successfully exited, we successively sent 'B' level commissioner and 'A' level commissioner to test, 'B' level commissioner persisted in the field for 25 seconds, 'A' level After persisting for 2 minutes, we took them out of the field according to the previous example after being unconscious. The 'B' level commissioner woke up 500 meters away from the field, and the 'A' level commissioner was in the base, which is 500 meters away. The place awakens."

"They wake up claiming they don't remember what happened?"

"There is one exception."

"The commissioner of the 'A' bloodline?"

"Yes. Didn't I say before that the 'C' level commissioner claimed to have a strange dream after waking up? That's not a lie and dream talk. This matter is more serious for the 'A' level commissioner. To stand out!"

"He claimed that he entered another Carmel town within a short period of time after entering the field, where he had a new identity and a new life, it was like entering a movie role-playing but He didn't realize that there was anything wrong when he fell into the field, and he slowly remembered these details until we took him out of the field and awakened him."

"Movie? Role-playing?" Lin Nian frowned, glanced at the shadow formed by the dark town far away from the military base and the late night sky, and said, "You mean, the group of comatose people are... Activities in another town that doesn't exist? A... dream town?"

"Specifically, it is a small town of Carmel in 1984. This is a fragment left in the memory of the 'A' commissioner. In that town, it is full of the atmosphere of the 80s, and public drinking fountains are everywhere. Aerobics, bomber jackets, Elvis Presley vinyl records. It’s all retro.”

"Why 1984?" Lin Nian didn't quite understand.

"Many people are also thinking about this question. The only answer now is that 1984 is a very special era, an era that is very popular with playwrights. Many movies and novels love to use this special time of 1984. In that year Many major events happened in the United States, such as the first space walk, the birth of the Apple Macintosh, and the Bhopal gas leak in India that shocked the world. But I prefer another answer, which was proposed by a horror film lover in the equipment department. He said that the special period of 1984 was also the period with the most serial murders.” The instructor said quietly.

Lin Nian couldn't help snorting, as if he heard something interesting, "In short, something bad is probably happening in that fake town."

"No one can say for sure, because at that time we couldn't understand the specific situation inside, only a general environment."

Lin Nian and the instructor have now come close to the end of the temporary military base, and the road between the military tents has gradually opened up without too many people and cable equipment. Not far away, there is a small red house that is particularly eye-catching. Even Lin Nian subconsciously took another look, but was immediately attracted by the instructor's next words.

"Any hybrid species will be lost when entering the field, but the stronger the bloodline, the stronger the resistance. In view of this nature, someone in the executive department proposed an idea-if we can access the field outside the field, can we Enter the field while staying relatively awake, and connect to that fake town." The instructor said, "We have reason to believe that the consciousness of all people affected by the field is still living in the small town of Carmel in 1984 including its creator."

"Killing the initiator of the domain can directly stop the entire speech spirit." Lin Nian said.

"That's it. But we have to find a way to find him inside." The instructor stood still, and Lin Nian also stopped beside him. They had already left the military base and stood on the side of the road.

Not far in front of the two is a crossroads. The farthest road extends to the dark town of Carmel. Both are deserted suburbs. Looking along the road, the town can be seen from a distance. The outline of the group of buildings is magnificent and simple, with a considerable sense of age but still retains the elegance of the prosperous time.

"Did you see that warning line?" The instructor pointed to the road leading to the town at the intersection in the distance, where a dazzling yellow and black line was blocked, "The place five meters behind that is the 'red line' If you step inside, you will be lost, and you will return to 1984 in a dream.”

"I'd like to ask one more question. You mentioned the possibility of being able to access the domain outside the domain, so you really didn't throw those 'A' grade guys into the red line, did you?"

"Yes and no."

Lin Nian raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the instructor, who continued, "In a sense, the latest round of rescue started as early as yesterday, and the rescuers were those eighteen students. They are now looking for the real murderer who created this field in that dream town."

"Where are they?" Lin Nian asked.

"There." The instructor turned and pointed to the red house in the distance, "They are all there."

　ps: It is said that Mandy’s murderer’s character design collapsed. My mentality collapsed before the character design collapsed. Why can the same trick deceive people twice?
