I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

"I remember you have a talent for the Bloodthirsty race, right? Why didn't Moon Spirit, who loves managing the Bloodthirsty race, come?"

Evan scratched the back of his head and laughed, "Maybe Yue Ling is just busy today. I don't know the specific reason."

Of course, he couldn't say that the reason Yue Ling didn't come today was because he had burned off Yue Ling's hair with poisonous blood last time.

Immediately afterward, Ivan noticed some intriguing information and quickly changed the subject: "Doctor, what do you mean by the Moon Spirit, who loves managing the Bloodthirsty Race the most, not coming?"

Armitage explained, "The Moon side manages all the Bloodthirsty species very carefully and strictly."

"After all, the moon seems to really like the Bloodthirsty race."

"Therefore, when each Bloodthirsty trait is activated, a Moon Spirit will descend and bind to the target with her hair."

"This process is somewhat similar to registering a newborn's household registration in the country where they live."

"This process means that you have become a child of the moon, and you will be able to receive the protection of the moon spirit in critical moments in the future."

Only then did Evan understand what he had experienced that day.

It turned out that Yue Ling had no ill intentions; she just came to register her household registration.

But to his surprise, as soon as he reached into the house, his hair was burned by his enemy who was hiding inside.

"Oh, I'm so bad!" Evan sighed inwardly.

Armitage looked at Ivan with some surprise: "Haven't you had this experience?"

Evan nodded: "Yes, some doctors, some."

"When it was fully activated that day, I did see the moon falling down, and then a few strands of hair made contact with my fingertips."

Armitage visibly relaxed upon hearing this and nodded, saying, "That's good."

"This means that you possess at least one extraordinary characteristic that aligns with my knowledge system."

Armitage then got up, and Ivan followed suit, stretching comfortably.

Armitage observed Ivan's current state.

There was no sign of any spiritual shock; her complexion was not only not pale but also quite rosy.

Her eyes showed no flicker or tension, only a clear and innocent glint.

"Didn't you experience a spiritual shock?"

Evan nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes! Doctor, didn't you see how scared I was just now?"

Armitage said somewhat strangely, "Then you look completely different from the other experts who have just been promoted."

Evan scratched his chin with his fingers, looked up at the upper left for a few seconds, and then grinned.

"Maybe it's because I'm optimistic and cheerful."

Fog-induced encephalopathy is definitely Ivan's biggest trump card.

Based on his speculation, this thing is likely to be something that only he can control in this world, just like the copper plague.

After all, this characteristic was not obtained through conventional channels, but rather by consuming the Y virus parasite.

Under normal circumstances, no one would eat that thing.

P.S.: Requesting monthly votes at the end of the month!

Chapter 177: The Superior! The Terrifying Armitage

It's not that Ivan doesn't trust Dr. Armitage.

There are just some things that are not suitable to be said outright.

Just as Richard said before, even those from the same sect should keep some secrets.

To prevent being discovered and wiped out in one fell swoop.

Armitage didn't ask any further questions, and led Ivan out of the meditation room and into the room next door.

Unlike the meditation room, the room next door has all sorts of strange structures on the floor and walls.

These structures are pieced together from stones of different regions and with different structures.

This creates a unique space where the entire floor, ceiling, and surrounding walls appear to be compressed by various stones.

These stones are also inlaid with various gemstones and engraved with various complex runes.

In the center of the uneven ground was a small altar.

A strange statue is enshrined above.

It is about the size of a human head, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, long ears and short hair, and looks quite distorted and ugly.

"Doctor, this is..." Evan asked with some curiosity.

Armitage stepped forward, bowed, and then spoke.

“Spiritual shocks recover more slowly in the material world.”

"But recovery is faster in the dream world."

"Because that is the source of all the extraordinary, the barrier separating the material from the extraordinary, and the wall protecting the people."

"Now that you've just become an expert, you need to recover quickly from the state of spiritual shock."

"I'll take you on a tour of the Dreamland and explain some more in-depth things to you."

As he said this, Armitage's lips curled up slightly, his aged and kind face carrying a hint of pride and bravery from his youthful past.

"You wanted to know what level I'm at and what my profession is? Then come and take a look with me."

As he spoke, Armitage raised his hand and placed it on the statue.

“By touching this statue, I can take you to the Dreamland and broaden your horizons.”

Evan walked over curiously and asked, "Doctor, Senior Sister Hill said that entering the Dream Realm isn't so easy."

"You can go in by touching this thing here?"

Armitage explained with a smile, "The entire room was built using special magic array stones, and it connects to a branch of the ley lines in New Haven."

"This statue is dedicated to a deity of the gods of dreams."

"As the native species of the Dream Realm, they are not very powerful, but due to their special status, they can help us cross between reality and the Dream Realm."

As Evan listened, he stood to the side. The moment Armitage placed his palm on it, Evan immediately felt the surrounding scenery begin to distort rapidly, followed by an overwhelming fog.

During this process, Ivan asked curiously, "Are these dream gods in danger?"

Armitage remained calm: "Generally speaking, the gods of dreams are not dangerous to humans; they are the weakest gods in the entire dream realm."

"Although these guys are called the Dream Gods, they are quite diverse in quality."

“Powerful dream gods can influence half of the dream realm, while weaker dream gods can be defeated by ordinary humans who are slightly stronger.”

Ivan was taken aback: "Huh? That weak?"

Armitage nodded: "Throughout the entire Dreamland, the gods are broadly divided into four types."

"The Old Gods, the Great Old Ones, the Outer Gods, and the Dream Gods."

"To put it simply, you can distinguish these gods based on their affiliation and nature."

"First and foremost are the Old Gods."

"You can think of them as the gods who were born and have been constantly praised throughout the history of human development."

"They belong to the past mythological era, to the gods who were born in this world because of humankind."

"The Old Gods are inherently hostile to the Outer Gods and tend to remain relatively neutral in their dealings with humanity."

Evan nodded knowingly: "They are the gods that exist in the myths of various civilizations, such as Odin, Horus, and Quetzalcoatl."

Armitage nodded: "Yes, but not all of these gods in mythology are Old Gods."

"Because in the future you will find that many of the gods you are familiar with are actually the Great Old Ones."

"The Old Gods have existed for as long as human history, while the Great Old Ones have existed since ancient times."

Ivan nodded vigorously to show he understood, and Armitage continued.

"Secondly, there are the Great Old Ones."

"The origin of this group is currently unknown, but they generally tend to be hostile to humans."

"Although some individuals do show some friendliness towards humans, such as the ghoul king."

"But many of the Great Old Ones and their followers viewed humans as sacrifices and food."

Evan silently recited several titles in his mind: "King in Yellow, Lord of R'lyeh, King of the Grim Bones..."

Armitage continued: "The Outer Gods, on the other hand, come from the universe outside our planet."

"Their abilities should be the most powerful among these kinds of gods."

"However, due to some special limitations, they cannot manifest in the material world in a regular way, and can only walk in the material world through some incarnations, which may be strong or weak."

“All Outer Gods and their followers can be called enemies to all mankind, and they are also one of the sources of madness.”

“Just now, when you were breaking through, that black goat was a rather powerful Outer God.”

Evan nodded, thinking to himself, "I do know the three Outer Gods: Nash, Bubble, and Black Goat."

Armitage continued: "Today, there are numerous organizations that worship Outer Gods in both the dream world and the human world."

"These organizations are almost 95% fanatical and insane cults. You must be careful when you encounter these organizations in the future."

"They would abandon everything that makes them human in order to obtain those so-called truths, even if it means turning themselves into monsters."

Ivan nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood, and Armitage continued his explanation.

"Finally, there are the dream gods I just mentioned."

“They are born in a dream world and grow through the desires of the human subconscious.”

"The more you can access your subconscious, the stronger the deity that grants your wishes will become; the less you can access them, the weaker you will become."

"They are generally quite friendly to humans, and often intermarry with them, giving birth to some native species of the Dreamland."

Ivan's eyes widened slightly: "So wild? Are the dream gods beautiful?"
