Chapter 143 Belongs to Me

Is it easy to achieve this result?

Shen Xing began to review all the information he knew so far.

According to Wu Xiaoting's precognitive dream, the copycat will find himself after being instigated by Wen Yan.

All the main roads leading out of the city are probably blocked, so it's unlikely I can escape unless I take a mountain road and run to the countryside or a small town.

But this was something Wen Yan could foresee.

Because in Wen Yan's mind, he is still alive, so his location information is very likely to be revealed in his precognitive dreams.

So here's the question.

The most crucial point is, how exactly are precognitive dreams formed?

Although Wu Xiaoting gave a complete answer, she said she would dream of an inaccurate future.

However, Wu Xiaoting did not summarize the reasons for this inaccuracy. She was too young and was only passively suffering from fear and torment in her abnormal dreams.

At this point, we need to combine this information with what Wen Yan revealed.

Knowing that he would also ask Wu Xiaoting about the reason, Wen Yan revealed without any hesitation that he could "predict the future," seemingly certain that Shen Xing had no way to deal with him.

Because Shen Xing is currently unable to contact the Ninth Detachment, even if he leaves a message through some means, it is very likely that Wen Yan will intercept it through precognitive dreams.

These were not things that Shen Xing was concerned about. What Shen Xing was thinking about now was "03—Honeycomb" that Wen Yan had mentioned.

Wen Yan said it was the official code name... but Shen Xing knew that it was not an official code name at all; it was just a temporary code name he had given himself for the third anomaly.

How Wen Yan learned this information was crucial to Shen Xing.

This concerns the essential logic of abnormal dreams... Shen Xing can only deduce it based on this little bit of information at the moment.

First of all, Wen Yan definitely knew about the chandelier celluloid. Lu Lingyun had already told Shen Xing about the chandelier celluloid, so there was no reason not to share the information with Wen Yan.

This is the information Wen Yan has already recognized—a chandelier with honeycomb-like growths and abnormal crowds on Anning Street.

In addition, the information Wen Yan could also glean was that Wang Xinran, whose body was eroded by the chandelier's honeycomb, and the Ninth Detachment was responsible for cleaning up the aftermath at this location.

Based on this information, Wen Yan could indeed dream about future events through precognitive dreams, such as the city being locked down or being unable to contact Lu Lingyun.

The chandelier celluloid had only been contained for a short time, and the authorities might not be able to assign it a number in time. However, Wen Yan's dream directly incorporated Shen Xing's number into Wen Yan's precognitive dream... and replaced the official number.

If there is any connection between myself, Wen Yan, and the chandelier cellulite, then there is only one connection between them.

That's a white worm.

Wen Yan went to Anning Street to investigate. It was a heavily infected area, and there was a high probability that Wen Yan was infected... However, at that time, Wang Xinran had not yet woken up, and the power of the "Queen Bee" had not yet recovered, so it did not affect Wen Yan.

After Wang Xinran regained her "power," Wen Yan also discovered the unusual activity at Wu Xiaoting's house...

...and that anomaly can resist the invasion of white worms and the influence of Wang Xinran.

Is it possible to obtain the information "[03—Honeycomb]" from someone simply because they were once parasitized by white worms?

This is possible...provided that Wang Xinran knows the term "[03—Honeycomb]".

If Wang Xinran knows Shen Xing's memories, and the unusual wooden house that might have devoured the white worms and resembled a clock, then she is very likely to also know about [03—the Hive].

Therefore, it will use this information to fill in the gaps in Wen Yan's incomplete dream...

Anomalies can devour each other.

【02—Doll】Not eating white worms does not mean that the wooden house clock does not eat them.

Since the wooden house bell already knows this information, why wouldn't Wen Yan know? He doesn't even know that Shen Xing himself is an anomaly.

This might involve another "rule" that could be a law.

Anomalies can affect each other.

For example, Shen Xing, while others cannot see the true form of [02—Puppet], can.

【02—Puppet】It cannot teleport in front of other people, but it can in front of Shen Xing.

Wang Lei, affected by [03—Hive], sees everyone else as abnormal, but Shen Xing and his sister appear normal to him.

Shen Xing could give many examples of such abnormalities influencing each other.

Is it possible that the person experiencing the unusual dream doesn't dream about other unusual things? Or even if they do dream about them, they might "rationalize" them using the rules of reality?

Just like when Wu Xiaoting was describing her dream, she dreamed of the future, of the changes in the streets in the future, of her mother becoming abnormal... but she had absolutely no clue what the abnormality was.

She didn't know about cellulitis, nor did she understand why Shen Xing died. Everything that appeared was within her comprehension, whether it was "magic" or science fiction.

There were no other unusual things in her dreams, just some bizarre dreams within her own understanding.

In unusual dreams, when events related to the abnormal occur, the "abnormality" is masked by what is considered "normal" within the scope of human cognition.

If that's the case, then it explains why Wen Yan knew the number "03—Honeycomb" but was unaware of Shen Xing's physical abnormalities.

Because Shen Xing is the anomaly itself, and the hanging clock in the wooden house "rationalizes" Shen Xing.

The tactics used by anomalous creatures to erode and confuse humans are ineffective against other anomalous creatures, or to simplify this statement...

If all these inferences hold true, then Shen Xing can draw two conclusions.

First, anomalies can affect each other.

Second, anomalies cannot erode or deconstruct each other; they can only devour one another.

However, if the second condition holds true, the abnormal fusion within Shen Xing's body, as well as the white worms infecting his brain, would become a paradox... For the conclusion to hold true, Shen Xing must exclude himself from the equation.

Shen Xing listed the second one as tentative, but the first one was almost a foregone conclusion.

Anomalies can influence each other; abilities that are useful to humans may become ineffective or undergo drastic changes in anomalies.

For example, [02—Puppet], its transformation ability is normal transformation in the eyes of humans, but it becomes teleportation in Shen Xing's eyes.

If it wanted to attack Shen Xing, Shen Xing would be completely unable to predict its movement trajectory and would have no way to defend against it... But ordinary humans could see the movement trajectory of [02—Puppet] in its entirety.

If we assume that our own abnormality is indeed being "rationalized" in abnormal dreams...

Then Shen Xing's plan to fake his death would be feasible.

Shen Xing fell into deep thought.

Fake death... Dying in front of everyone, making everyone, including Wen Yan, believe that "Shen Xing" is dead, thus causing Shen Xing to disappear from the strange dream of the wooden house clock.

Shen Xing could deceive everyone, including Wen Yan, but there was one person he couldn't hide from.

That's Wang Xinran.

However, Wen Yan cannot be affected by Wang Xinran's insect swarm; he will not share the memories of the insect swarm—unless Wang Xinran tells Wen Yan on her own initiative.

Those affected by the white worms would probably be "rationalized" as normal in their abnormal dreams, and Wen Yan would be unable to obtain information from the anomalies.

Unless Wang Xinran tells the Ninth Detachment all the information about Shen Xing.

It seems that my only option is to gamble that she won't say anything?

Shen Xing disliked this feeling of uncertainty, and entrusting his future to others was not his style.

Let's finish this before Wang Xinran has a chance to speak.

To orchestrate a grand, "certain" death.

Change identity.

Then—kill Wen Yan.

To reclaim what is rightfully theirs...

My [04—Untitled].
