Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 120 Hypothesis about the Outer Dimension

"Real Dreamland" hypothesis had answered many of Wang Yunxiao’s doubts about the Outer Dimensions.

First, it wasn’t that Nurse Liu liked to talk in riddles, but that they lacked the mental capacity to accept the truth. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The more ignorant a person is, the more fearless they become.

Normal people know that cars on the street are owned and that stealing them is against the law.

However, not everyone on the street is normal; some might think your car is unwanted and could simply drag it away to sell as scrap metal on the spot.

Second, to bring back items or other things from the Outer Dimension to the Real World, specific conditions needed to be met.

Chen Yan hadn’t described it accurately—it wasn’t contamination, Wang Yunxiao felt it was more apt to describe it as "legendary presence."

Everyone knew that Nurse Liu had a handgun and had even fired it in school. Therefore, in everyone’s consciousness, the gun "existed."

Existence justifies itself.

On the contrary, the Springfield Rifle that Little Gourd found later was unknown to others, apart from Wang Yunxiao. And those medicines— even Wang Yunxiao didn’t know their specific uses.

They couldn’t be brought back.

Everyone’s "thoughts" are a part of shaping reality; the thoughts of the majority can suppress those of the minority. The thoughts of the minority, in turn, can affect the stability of what "exists."

But this wasn’t the absolute answer.

It was also necessary to consider the impact caused by the discrepancy in individual strength.

Third, pollutants brought back from the Outer Dimension are, as the name implies, contaminative and extremely dangerous.

The specific dangers remain a secret to Wang Yunxiao for now.

The resources exchanged by Nurse Liu show that the military hadn’t intentionally shortchanged them.

Missing a pound or two of Meat Coupons isn’t shortchanging; taking all the supplies and then shoving a couple of Meat Coupons at you and telling you to scram, that’s shortchanging.

Wang Yunxiao had turned in all weapons and ammunition, which were returned in full—that was an act of conscience.

As for why it wasn’t the original gun, there was actually no need to delve too deeply into that.

As long as one understands the rules of the game in the Outer Dimension, there will be plenty of opportunities to upgrade equipment later on.

Besides, Wang Yunxiao had also handed over that notebook and has yet to receive a response.

Regarding the death of that demon, Wang Yunxiao actually harbored some doubts.

It was certain that it had died completely, reduced to ashes under the blazing sun.

But to say that this demon was the mastermind behind the series of unfortunate events and the planner, something didn’t quite add up to Wang Yunxiao.

Its identity didn’t match.

How could a poor youth who relied solely on his widowed mother, even if by chance he had encountered the Outer Dimension and cultivated into such a terrifying demon... could he truly possess the ability to slaughter so many lives and create the human-faced curse?

How did he meet Third Master Ding, and how did he meet Xiao Baili?

It’s not likely he just closed his eyes and ended up in some bizarre place to play tarot cards with people.

Then there’s Third Master Ding—since that time he went in, no one knows whether he died inside or gained some benefits, but he has vanished without a trace these past days, not even a fart heard.

Wang Yunxiao wasn’t rushing to find him.

Filling the stomach was the most important thing; everything else was relatively unimportant. He and his brothers were after all students studying in school, burdened with heavy coursework every day, and now also needing to train physically, they could be described as exhausted in mind and body. As long as Third Master Ding didn’t stir up trouble, he wasn’t inclined to bother with it.

But there’s one thing— the Outer Dimension isn’t opening just this once; if you dare to come near next full moon night, don’t blame Brother Yuanxiao for coming to you for an explanation.

Over at the police station, Qin Xiangdong promised to get him some good stuff, but so far, there’s been no word, and Wang Yunxiao has been waiting.

As the saying goes, to do a good job, one must first sharpen one’s tools.

In the past, they said it was okay to go barefoot because there were no shoes, but that was a reluctant choice—anyone who has shoes and doesn’t wear them is a fool.

If there’s a dungeon right outside my doorstep, why would I go out to fight the wild monsters? That would be crazy, wouldn’t it?

After eating his fill, Wang Yunxiao wasn’t in a hurry at all and was determined to max out a book of technology before proceeding.

Moreover, the school wasn’t that calm on the inside, either.

Ever since the last time the door was opened, many students had started to experience insomnia and anxiety, and all kinds of rumors began to circulate among them. Some said they saw ghosts at night, while others claimed their souls were hooked away in their dreams.

The school library also acquired a batch of not-so-serious books, including traditional market storytelling, the Four Great Classical Novels, rural anecdotes, and various translations of foreign literature.

In the words of parents, these were the kind of "miscellaneous books" that distract from studying.

Originally, hardly anyone went to the library, but with this new collection of books, the number of students borrowing them started to increase.

Compared to these seemingly minor but concrete changes, the real headache was the ticking time bomb in the third-floor girls’ dormitory restroom.

It was a bona fide fierce ghost, and what’s more, it was man-made.

After coming back from the Outer Dimension, Wang Yunxiao had reported the situation to Nurse Liu in time.

But Nurse Liu told him not to worry and narrated the origin of this fierce ghost to him.

Turns out, this fierce ghost had a bit of a connection with Wang Yunxiao.

She was Zhou Qing, also known as "Little Yuxiu," the courtesan who was rumored in the newspapers to be involved with Wang Yunxiao and was rescued.

Wang Yunxiao, a rough man, didn’t care about these baseless rumors at all.

But she, a frail and helpless girl, couldn’t withstand the pressure of public opinion. Even though her classmates didn’t say much, it was easy for her to overthink.

That same night, Zhou Qing hanged herself with her trouser belt on the restroom door.

When Chen Yan found her, she had already suffocated to death, but her soul had not left her body yet.

Since she had never encountered such a thing before, she didn’t know how to deal with it, so she woke Little Gourd up.

Little Gourd was just an Advisor, not a real doctor—what could she possibly do? She could only try whatever means she had, hoping for the best.

By the time Nurse Liu arrived, she did manage to preserve Zhou Qing’s soul, but at the cost of subjecting it to contamination.

"As an Advisor, one will inevitably encounter such situations. She needs to face various complex conditions, and most of the time, there’s no best choice, only the least bad one," Nurse Liu said.

When faced with the trolley problem of saving five people versus one, the choice to save isn’t the primary concern for an Advisor.

What she needs to consider is whether the onrushing train might suddenly transform into a Decepticon.

This was a meaningful lesson for Little Gourd.

And as for the deceased herself—

"After asking the girl’s opinion, I decided to keep her around to add a bit of tension to the school atmosphere," Nurse Liu decided.
