Start with the Soul Forge

Chapter 314: There is a warehouse in Infinite City that contains a three-digit dirty bomb, and the fuse has already been lit.

"Xiyue is the only explorer who has come out alive from the Taixu Realm codenamed [Nightmare]. However, when she escaped from [Nightmare], she was also infected with the power of [Nightmare]."

"【Nightmare】, tentatively defined as an abnormal realm of the void, anyone who enters will fall into a dream in which they cannot tell whether it is real or fake."

Su Wenxing sighed, "Precognitive dreams, dreams of death, dreams within dreams, countless bizarre dreams. According to the incomplete statistical information currently available, any damage sustained in a dream will be reflected back to the body."

At this time, Xiyue also added, "That Taixu Realm itself might be a dream."

The girl in the white dress twisted her hair with her fingers and squinted her eyes to recall her past experiences. "Once you enter the Great Void Realm, the explorer will be eroded by the power of the Great Void Realm and become a part of the entire dream."

"In a dream, you will become another person and live a normal life until you die. But if that's the case, you will really die at the moment of your death."

"Explorers with lower perception abilities are basically unable to sense the problem, and may even forget their own existence."

"Those with high perception abilities will find some clues in the daily life in the dream, but that is the most dangerous moment."

As if recalling some painful experience, Xiyue clenched her fists suddenly, and her knuckles turned white.

"Ahem, Xiyue, please stop for a while."

Su Wenxing's gentle voice interrupted Xiyue's memories and intentionally or unintentionally stopped her from continuing.

At the same time, he explained to Mo Hao, "The Taixu Realm that Xiyue escaped from was extremely polluting and contagious, so much so that she was diagnosed as needing to be admitted to the [Deep Mental Sanatorium] for treatment as soon as she escaped."

On the way to the office, Su Wenxing briefly introduced the function of the [Deep Mental Sanatorium] to Mo Hao.

It was a different dimension attached to the Infinite City, and also a kind of seal.

For the Infinite City, that place has only one function, which is to seal.

Although some explorers escaped from the Taixu Realm, they still had the marks and pollution of the Taixu Realm on their bodies.

The existence of marks and pollution will constantly erode the explorer's mind, and once completely eroded, they will become the external tentacles of the Taixu Realm.

At the same time, once the explorer undertakes the Taixu Realm exploration mission again, he will return to the Taixu Realm he escaped from because of the existence of the mark.

For the explorers, this is no less than a life-or-death situation.

It would be fine if the pollution on the body could be cleaned, but once it cannot be cleaned and the explorer realizes that he may not be able to stay awake, he will go to the [Deep Mental Sanatorium].

[Deep Mental Sanatorium] has an extremely strong sealing ability for any life that enters. Even if the infected explorer dies inside, the pollution will not leak to the outside world.

Moreover, only members of the school board are qualified to open this place and give the people inside permission to go out temporarily.

If you want to leave that place completely, you must convene a board of directors meeting to vote.

Su Wenxing's explanation was not very detailed. After all, few people knew about the [Deep Mental Sanatorium], and this was also a kind of intelligence control method.

But Mo Hao had already figured out what the so-called [Deep Mental Sanatorium] was. It was a trash can full of dirty bombs that were about to explode.

After realizing this, Mo Hao's expression became very strange.

He didn't expect that the school directors of Infinite City were so fierce that they dared to throw so many explorers whose spirits had been polluted into the same place.

"Well, although I don't really want to get any information about that place, I still want to ask how many people you threw in there?"

Su Wenxing was silent for a while, then stretched out three fingers.

"Three people?" "It's a three-digit number, and I don't know the specific situation inside."

As he spoke, Su Wenxing glanced at Mo Hao meaningfully, "After those explorers bring out the relevant information about the Grand Void Realm, they will take the initiative to apply to enter the [Deep Mental Sanatorium]. When they step in, we will basically assume that they are dead."

"There are records of people going in, and there are three figures of people going in, but not a single person has ever been able to come out."

"If you want to leave the [Deep Mental Sanatorium], in addition to a vote by the school board, you also need the judgment of the [Deep Mental Sanatorium]. Only when it is determined that the person leaving has sufficient self-thinking will they be allowed to leave."

"And Xiyue originally had no chance of leaving."

Having said this, Mo Hao also understood what it meant.

In other words, as a resident of the [Deep Mental Sanatorium], Xiyue herself cannot leave that area. Even if the school director agrees, that damn place will not let anyone go directly.

But this time, the [Deep Mental Sanatorium] released him.

After thinking it over, both Su Wenxing and Xiyue turned their gazes towards Mo Hao. The only variable that was different from usual was the sudden appearance of Mo Hao himself.

"After I came out of Taixu Realm, I saw that street, and then Director Su called me and asked me where I was."

Realizing what the two wanted to ask, Mo Hao consciously explained the situation in detail. "While I was on the phone, something like a plastic doll attacked me. I broke it apart, and then it seemed to cause a chain reaction, and a lot of plastic dolls appeared."

"Plastic dolls...are nightmares incarnate." Xiyue seemed to realize what Mo Hao was saying. She suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief. "You can hurt them?"

Mo Hao tilted his head slightly and asked back in confusion, "Well, can't you?"

Apart from the fact that those plastic dolls looked too human and gave him the uncanny valley effect, they were not that difficult to deal with in terms of actual combat power.

Even in terms of appearance, it is not as good as the bunch of curious things that appeared after Xiyue appeared.

In a horror movie, those puppets wouldn't even be considered the main supporting characters.

"School Director, I need a mental pollution check immediately, and I need the movements of the code-name [Nightmare] Taixu Realm."

The girl in the white dress said seriously, "[Nightmare] may have suffered some trauma, and this classmate Mo Hao has the ability to clean up the power pollution of the Grand Void Realm."

No matter which one it is, it is no small matter for Infinite City.

If it is the former, the Taixu Realm codenamed "Nightmare" might have been injured and caused Xiyue to regain consciousness. In that case, humans would have another chance to destroy a very dangerous Taixu Realm.

As for the latter, it is even more shocking.

So far, no one or any means can treat the pollution of the power of Taixu Realm. The best result is to be thrown into the [Deep Mental Sanatorium] for euthanasia like the Infinite City.

This is still the best outcome, because other forces do not even have other dimensions like the [Deep Mental Sanatorium], and can only take the initiative to [clean up] the contaminated explorers.

If it is really as Xiyue thought, Mo Hao has the ability to clean up the power pollution of the Taixu Realm...

In this way, some Taixu realms with extremely strong pollution capabilities will no longer be a problem, and the difficulty of conquering them will be greatly reduced.

School Director Su Wenxing looked at Mo Hao with a fiery look in his eyes.
