The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 267

As we all know, many editors of American comics have the same idea. When they don't know how to express an abstract concept, they will concretize it into the image of a character and let them appear in human form. In the comics, and give it a human character.

On the contrary, if they don't know how to make an ordinary person motivated to participate in something, they will add divinity to his character, which is the so-called "savior consciousness".

"Human God" and "Divine Man" are two eternal themes in American comics, and "Sandman" Murphys happens to be one of the former.

To talk about his origin, we have to start from the endless family.

The endless family is a character created after the illusory concept is endowed with human form and human personality traits are added.

There are seven members in this family, representing dreams, death, destiny, despair, desire, madness, and destruction.

These concepts are invisible and intangible in real life, but they have a fixed image in comics, and even have their own responsibilities and personalities.

And the Sandman, or Oneiroi, is the Murphys who is now appearing in front of Schiller.

It is also well known that any conceptual existence is generally very strong. Unlike superheroes who need a positive record to judge their strength, these conceptual characters are strong enough just by their attributes.

Sandman Murphys masters all dreams. When the first creature in the universe fell into a dream, Murphys was born. He can create a dream of a thousand cats to make dreams replace reality, or make people's lives peaceful. Just like in my own dream.

Unlike Marvel, which always emphasizes the strength of conceptual existence or the difference in functional areas, DC Comics prefers to emphasize their unique personalities. For example, Morpheus the Sandman is actually one of the seven members of the Endless Family. One of the most dedicated.

It was mentioned in the comics that he is the most cautious in performing his duties. Although he has great power, he has never let this power cause trouble. At the same time, he has a relatively withdrawn personality, few friends, and always I like to get into some philosophical thinking.

Also because the domain he serves has little to do with the domains of other endless family members, he has always been mysterious. He has had countless externalized images, but he always only showed one or two of them. In this case, he was a pale, thin man with dark blue hair and a cloak made of night.

The same is true for the person who appeared in front of Schiller. Of course, it is more likely that everyone sees the Sandman Morpheus differently. Everyone who sees him thinks he is what he is. The same, and Schiller's memory is still the image of Murphys in the comics, so he also showed such an appearance.

The original book also mentioned that the first generation of Sandman Murphys was moody, but obviously, now he has gone beyond the range of moodiness, and he seems a little frustrated.

He stared at Schiller with those twinkling eyes, and then said to him in a hoarse voice: "Why did you connect your dream to my dream kingdom, and then put a..."

His expression at this time is difficult to describe, which is actually very strange, because even if this concept exists, even if there is a human personality, it will not really express emotions as clearly as ordinary humans, not to mention that Murphys has always been relatively autistic. Yes, but now you can see on his face the disgust, disgust, bewilderment after being woken up, and the anger that his home was messed up at the same time.

When it comes to the Kingdom of Dreams, it is not difficult to understand. Everyone in the Endless Family has their own domain. In this domain, they are almost omniscient and omnipotent. The domain of Sleeping God is called the Kingdom of Dreams, which is exactly what it sounds like. There are some dreamy names, but at this moment, it is hard to say whether the situation of the dream country that has been splashed with shit can still conform to this dreamy style.

"Before you ask me this question, I have a lot of questions I want to ask you." Schiller looked at Murphys and said, "I think you should be ready to answer my questions, right?"

"Don't tell me, you don't know anything about me."

"You let that lunatic leave my house first." Murphys emphasized again: "Do you know what he did in the kingdom of dreams???"

"I can imagine that I'm deeply sorry and have deep sympathy."

Murphys looked at Schiller, and Schiller also looked at Murphys. Neither of them would give in, but fortunately, they are now in a dream, and the most important thing in a dream is time.

Maybe the clown really did some outrageous things, maybe Murphys himself was also a little interested in Schiller, but in the end he gave in first, and he said, "What do you want to ask?"

"I must first tell you that many things I know cannot be described to you humans. The world in our eyes is different."

"Of course, of course, I know very well..." Schiller stretched out his hand and made a soothing gesture, and then let Morpheus sit on the sofa opposite him.

The globe on the table behind him kept spinning, but this time, he didn't have a globe head on his head, but a normal human image just like in real life.

"Before I ask questions, I think you should also have some doubts, such as why I want to find you and how I found you."

Schiller, relaxed as if facing not a powerful enemy but an old friend, explained to Morpheus: "You can control all dreams, which means you can read Take all my memories, including the surface consciousness space and the deep consciousness space, then I don’t think I need to introduce too much about my origin.”

"Actually, as early as the first time when I had some changes in my sleep, I had doubts, because I knew that this world is completely different from the world I used to live in. All the concepts here are created by you, some concepts, or Said that the gods control, "

"It sounds unbelievable, but it actually makes it easier for me to reason, because if there is a problem in a certain field, the person responsible for it must be found."

"For example, if something always happens when I'm asleep, who else can I turn to besides the Sandman?"

"Of course, I know that these fields you control are very critical to this universe, so you are too busy to explain certain details to me, which is understandable, but it doesn't matter, since you don't come to talk to me, then I will You can also go to your door and ring the doorbell..."

Murphys' face was very ugly. Although he had always been pale, anyone could see that his expression was very unnatural now. He said, "That's how you knock on the door? Put a person who is not controlled by dreams, or Said, a lunatic who can't even understand him in his dreams, put him in my house???"

Morpheus's voice had some wonderful rhythms, a bit like an aria singer, and he said: "You have no idea what a dangerous thing you have done, he almost made a big hole in the dreamland , Fortunately, I woke up in time to stop him, once he succeeds, the creatures in the dreamland ran out..."

Murphys shook his head and said: "My work for ten thousand years will be in vain, and it is likely to take another tens of thousands of years to make up for this accident."

"This is just an attempt by me." Schiller did not shirk responsibility, but continued: "You have to know, I am just an ordinary human being, I don't know how much the doorbell should ring to bring your conceptual existence to the world. wake up..."

"So you just put on the loudest one??"

"That's right, when something happens frequently in my sleep, I know who I'm looking for, and the next step is how I can find you."

"I think that since you are the Dream God, you must control the dreams of everyone in this world, including mine. The only question is, how do you control the dreams of these people?"

"I am very clear that there is absolutely no shadow of you in my superficial consciousness space. I have a strong ability to control my superficial consciousness space, including building a thinking hall with more than 330 layers here, and have evolved countless personalities. Residents have built many domains with special rules, and I have meticulous control over this place, and I am sure that no outsiders live here."

"So, I guess, you must be in a deeper consciousness space."

"However, in order to build a temple of thinking, I laid a very solid foundation for my superficial consciousness, which led to a very embarrassing situation. I couldn't pry open this layer of foundation by myself. It was like asking a person to It's just as difficult in the real world as it is to go up to the sky with your left foot on your right."

"So, when I discovered a wonderful drug that can affect human dreams, I had this idea. I asked a friend of mine to mix some liquids together to create a drug that can The wine that connects human dreams..."

"Then I invited my friends into this consciousness space, and with the help of another psychologist, I dug through the foundation of the surface consciousness, allowing Jack to jump into my deep consciousness, and then dig all the way down..."

"Actually, before you appeared, I wasn't sure if digging to the bottom would be your dream kingdom, but now it seems that my guess is correct..."

"Reality and dreams are two sides of one body. If the highest point of my thinking hall is 'reality', then the bottom of my deep consciousness should be your dream kingdom."

"And the reason why I wake you up with a doorbell is because I hope you can answer me..."

Schiller looked at Murphys and said, "What happened to that thing that kept happening in my sleep?"

"Are you going to keep that annoying doorbell ringing if I don't answer?"

"Don't say that." Schiller waved his hand and said, "Just like you can't control him, I can't control him. Although I made a trivial deal with him, I can't control him wherever he wants to play." Unable to control."

"Then let me ask another question..." Morpheus's tone was always indifferent, or it was the kind of resistance to communication that is unique to autistic and withdrawn people.

"If I answered your question, you'd have a way of getting him out, right?"

"exactly."
