catch the dream

Zhou Sheng said, "Want to go out?"

"No." Yu Hao said, "I want to find a door, a door leading to the next level of consciousness."

Zhou Sheng didn't interrupt, but just looked at Yu Hao quietly.

Yu Hao suddenly turned his head and looked at the charcoal stove in the center of the room.At this moment, the consciousness exchange of Jinwulun appeared!Yu Hao once again felt the reminder from the Golden Crow Wheel!

"I understand! I still need a crucial key!" Yu Hao immediately said, "A lighter! Do you have it?"

Zhou Sheng motioned Yu Hao to spread his hands, and a point in the middle of his palm revealed a lighter in Yu Hao's hand. He stepped forward, bowed, and lit the charcoal stove.

The charcoal stove glowed red, and the room began to transform!At this moment Yu Hao knew that he might have touched the truth...

The red light turned into a mist, and Zhou Sheng looked at the charcoal stove vigilantly. The next moment, the charcoal stove suddenly went out, and the surroundings began to twist, the room deformed, and a monster-like mouth appeared on the wall. Zhou Sheng said: "Be careful!"

Yu Hao: "Wait!"

He walked forward slowly, raised his hand, and a silver light burst out from his hand. Under the silver light, the changes in the wall gradually subsided, and a door appeared.

Zhou Sheng: "Damn, what does this mean?"

Yu Hao turned around, interlocked fingers with Zhou Sheng, and wanted to go forward to push the door, but Zhou Sheng was ahead of him and pressed on the doorknob.

"Open it and have a look?" Zhou Sheng said.

Yu Hao's breathing was about to stop, he nodded slowly.

Zhou Sheng pressed the doorknob and gently pushed it out.

A strange light came in, and then, a strange and distorted space appeared outside the door!Broken planes, colorful colors, and distorted cities, the door opened in mid-air, and the two stood at the door, looking around, no matter which direction, it seemed endless!

Yu Hao: "The collective subconscious really exists!"

Zhou Sheng closed the door, and Yu Hao said, "Wait, let me take another look! I saw something... the deepest part! Where the light comes from!"

"Farewell." Zhou Sheng said, "I don't feel safe, Jin Wulun reminded me not to step out."

Yu Hao: "But Jinwulun didn't tell me."

"Don't take any risks." Zhou Sheng seemed a little annoyed, "It's not that you are not allowed to come, but come after thinking about it. What does this mean to you?"

"Okay." Yu Hao said, "Let's stop here for today and keep this room."

Zhou Sheng reminded: "You will have nightmares."

"No." Yu Hao insisted, "If you destroy it again, I'm afraid you'll forget everything here... Wait, have you already destroyed it once?"

Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao were silent for an instant, they stared at each other, Yu Hao said in a deep voice, "You erased this room from my memory?"

"Yes." Zhou Sheng said calmly.

Yu Hao said, "Did I ask for it?"

"Because you were having nightmares." Zhou Sheng asked inappropriately.

"When?" Yu Hao asked again.

Zhou Sheng: "It's the first time to come to my house to celebrate the New Year."

Yu Hao nodded, Zhou Sheng was a little uneasy, and asked, "Are you angry?"

"No." Yu Hao shook his head. At this moment, he found a door appeared again in the cement room, but it opened in another direction, at its original position.

Yu Hao pushed open the door, the sun shone in, and they returned to the surface world of memories.

"It's amazing." Yu Hao exclaimed.

"This memory has recovered," Zhou Sheng said to Yu Hao when he walked into the sunlight, "so it appeared in the surface world, right where it was originally."

This is a ginkgo forest, right in the back garden of the palace. There are no NPCs nearby, and the whole scene looks quiet and eerie. Yu Hao said, "So close to my totem?"

"There is such a place in the palace that is too out of harmony." Zhou Sheng explained, "It's not that I don't respect you."

"Indeed." Yu Hao said, "It's me, I also want to remove this thing. That's it, I have to think again, later..."

Suddenly, there was a violent shaking, and the dream world began to turmoil. Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng woke up one after the other.

"Yu Hao?" Fu Liqun's face appeared in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I don't think you are doing anything important." Chen Yekai said outside the door, "But it happened suddenly, I don't think it can be delayed any longer."

Zhou Sheng got up, Yu Hao glanced at his phone, Chen Yekai called him several times in the middle of the night, but he didn't answer all of them under mute.

Ou Qihang said: "Are you in a dream? Why didn't you call us?"

Yu Hao said, "A little thing... what's wrong?"

Chen Yekai showed Yu Hao his phone, and it showed the message he sent in the middle of the night last night - [Huang Ting is missing].

Yu Hao woke up immediately. At 05:30 in the morning, Chen Yekai obviously came in a hurry and didn't sleep all night.

"Before Huang Ting disappeared, you were the last person I saw." Chen Yekai asked, "Did he say where he was going?"

Yu Hao was still not quite sober, so he tried to shake his head. Zhou Sheng heated a few cups of milk in the microwave, put them on the table, and said, "I was looking for you, but I just came back last night, so I didn't take care of it for a while. Now that everyone is here, Let’s exchange information by the way.”

Yu Hao reluctantly drank some milk, and said quickly: "The inside story of this matter is very complicated... But I never thought why he disappeared, and why he was arrested?"

"Speak slowly," Ou Qihang said, "don't worry."

Yu Hao started to recall from the afternoon when he met Huang Ting. Fu Liqun had just heard the inside story. Everyone was silent for a while when they heard about Huang Ting's illness.

"He asked me to contact the doctor for him." Chen Yekai said, "Is he so sick? Have you seen the medicine he took?"

Yu Hao spread out his hands and recounted almost everything about Huang Ting and Jin Wulun. Everyone was silent for a moment. Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yekai and said, "It's not far from what we guessed."

Chen Yekai looked solemn, and Fu Liqun said, "Ask that doctor, what's wrong with him."

Chen Yekai nodded, lowered his hair, and Ou Qihang said: "He will not be locked up by his boss, nor will he be Brother Sheng's boss..."

"Qin Guodong is very familiar with him." Zhou Sheng said, "He didn't even detain me, let alone arrest him."

"The only possibility is the one surnamed Zhao." Ou Qihang said, "I met him not long after our incident."

Fu Liqun said: "I think something is wrong."

Ou Qihang said, "I think so too."

Yu Hao raised his hand and said, "Add one."

"You still add one more?" Chen Yekai asked anxiously.

Yu Hao: "From the very beginning, I felt that there was a problem. It's so strange. After leaving Nanlu, no one came to my door. Ren Chong, Zhao Liang, and Qin Guodong clearly knew about this matter. , but no party preemptively came to find Zhou Sheng, there must be something wrong inside."

Ou Qihang said: "Is there any special conspiracy that might alarm us?"

Zhou Sheng: "Maybe, Kaikai, have the medical records been sent?"

"How to say?" Fu Liqun asked.

"Aplastic anemia." Chen Yekai said, "Damn it, that guy told me it was pneumonia!"

"Don't you have medical insurance?" Yu Hao said, "You should be able to afford it."

Chen Yekai chatted with the doctor for a few words, without raising his head, he said: "After seeing it for the first time, I'm waiting for a hospital bed. It is recommended that the bone marrow be matched, and I don't care for it..." While speaking, the phone call came, Chen Yekai I answered the phone, chatted for a few words, and said, "Yes, yes, I will find a way to find someone."

After hanging up the phone, everyone stared at Chen Yekai, and Chen Yekai said, "Ren Chong."

Zhou Sheng: "Has Zhao Liang looked for you?"

Chen Yekai was startled, and said, "How do you know?"

The corner of Zhou Sheng's mouth was slightly raised, and he looked at Chen Yekai. Chen Yekai replied, "He came to our school in person yesterday during the day."

Everyone was shocked, Yu Hao said, "What did you say?"

Chen Yekai replied: "Please invite me to have a cup of coffee. I was busy with class and didn't have time to talk to him, so I declined."

Yu Hao thought to himself that he had escaped a catastrophe, and if Chen Yekai agreed to follow him, he might be locked up just like Huang Ting.But this just shows that Zhao Liang has lost some of his energy and connections within the system, and he dare not take people away and detain them in broad daylight.

"To find Huang Ting in my dream?" Chen Yekai asked Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng leaned on the chair, swayed it, and fell silent.

Ou Qihang said: "It's easy to know where he is. From the fact that he didn't dare to take Uncle Kai away, there shouldn't be any private use of public power."

Fu Liqun: "Just in case, he doesn't know where he is?"

"Why arrest him," Zhou Sheng said, "you have to think about this first."

"The reason for arresting him is probably to extract what I said from him." Yu Hao said, "But since you want to know, why don't you just ask me? Do you have to go through a lot of trouble to find a third party?"

Zhou Sheng said: "It's full of all kinds of ridiculous doubts." He raised his eyes again and looked at Chen Yekai. Chen Yekai narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe it's because besides the news about Yu Hao, I also want to get information about Ren Chong's side." inside story?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment, Zhou Sheng pondered for a moment, Yu Hao seemed to have a sympathetic heart, and subtly understood Zhou Sheng's thoughts.

Yu Hao: "Are you afraid that there might be some kind of trap trying to lure us over? But what kind of trap could there be? I don't understand, if you want to trouble us, why not just arrest people? We don't have any power, How can I resist?" He said spreading his hands.

Zhou Sheng was holding the Golden Crow Wheel, but he didn't make a decision for a long time, and everyone was waiting.Then, Zhou Sheng put away the Golden Crow Wheel and said, "Not yet."

Zhou Sheng glanced at Chen Yekai and said, "Let's investigate separately first."

"Okay." Chen Yekai was very worried about Huang Ting, but he didn't disobey Zhou Sheng's decision.

"You are in charge of Zhao Liang." Zhou Sheng said, "I asked our boss, Yu Hao, and you asked Lin Ze. Didn't you already ask the question last time?"

"There is no definite news." Yu Hao frowned, "I'll go and urge Aze down."

"You two just..." Zhou Sheng thought for a while, but Ou Qihang said, "I'll go to the doctor last time to ask. I think that hypnotherapist is very familiar with Brother Ting. Maybe he can find some key clues."

"Then I'll go to another hospital." Fu Liqun said, "Inquire about his condition."

Zhou Sheng said: "Okay, let's all go, everyone wait for my notice."

The crowd dispersed, Yu Hao carried his bag and went to work, Situ Ye accompanied Jin Weicheng to interview, Lin Ze sat in the office, and when he saw Yu Hao, he asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Yu Hao: "Is it very obvious?"

"You look so ugly." Lin Ze said, "Didn't you read the report this morning?"

Yu Hao remembered that he forgot to read the news today, Lin Ze handed him a newspaper.

"In the newspaper?!" Yu Hao exclaimed in surprise, "So fast!"

The newspaper was about the topic of MLM interviewed by Yu Hao. Lin Ze said, "The scale of reposting and social topics this time is even bigger than last time. You should do your own popularity analysis."

Right now Yu Hao didn't care about his topic at all, and simply replied "Yes", but he was always worried about Huang Ting's safety in his heart.Lin Ze didn't ask too many questions, and the two sat quietly in the office, only listening to the sound of typing on the keyboard.Yu Hao wanted to ask about the last time he was asked to inquire about Zhao Liang, but was also worried that asking so hastily would be too direct.

"The editor-in-charge will report on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month," Lin Ze said, "You can relax then."

"That's great." Yu Hao forced a smile, and the two of them fell into a period of silence again. Yu Hao has worked with Lin Ze for nearly half a year and knows his style very well. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to ask for help, Lin Ze is always very happy Be patient and leave the opportunity to solve the problem to everyone, but once Yu Hao opens his mouth, Lin Ze will handle this matter to the end.

He didn't want to drag Lin Ze into the water, and he didn't want him to be exposed to such incredible cases.

"I need to give you a day off, do you want to rest?" Lin Ze asked again.

"I've just had a rest, so it's fine." Yu Hao began to analyze the hotness of the topic. The reporter group was all looking for him to inquire about Nanlu's news. Every time the news came out, people would swarm to expose the old truth.Sometimes Yu Hao thinks that China doesn't have good journalists, it just lacks a few front-runners, and if they successfully rush into the public opinion position, the army behind them will drive over mightily, no matter what melamine or MLM jumps off a building, once the army of reporters arrives, they will Grind you into nothingness in minutes.

"The Zhao Liang I inquired about last time," Yu Hao said, "Any news?"

While replying to WeChat, Lin Ze replied without raising his head, "What's your next issue?"

Yu Hao didn't answer, knowing that this conversation should be very cautious, Lin Ze said: "Sometimes, no news is also a kind of news."

Yu Hao suddenly understood that it took so long to get no reply, it wasn't that Lin Ze didn't investigate for him, but that after finding out the details, in order to protect his safety, he didn't want to tell him!

"Let's change another topic." Although Lin Ze didn't know what Yu Hao wanted to do, he didn't doubt Yu Hao's ability to do things.

"Is he from the Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

"No." Lin Ze replied, "They have no special relationship with the Commission for Discipline Inspection."

"Wait..." Yu Hao said, "Isn't this a special investigation team under the jurisdiction of the central government?"

"Group?" Lin Ze raised his head and stared at Yu Hao.

Yu Hao said, "The first time we met was in Ying City."

"Go down and investigate about Ou Weihong?" Lin Ze replied.

Yu Hao: "You know?"

Lin Ze: "Don't forget that I have read your resume. Are you sure you want to hear it? Yu Hao, I suggest you not to contact them."

Yu Hao: "I have a friend..."

"Did the note come that day?" Lin Ze asked again.

Yu Hao knew that he couldn't hide anything from Lin Ze. If there was anyone he knew who could see through the essence and cause and effect of things at a glance, then one was Huang Ting, and the other was definitely Lin Ze.Zhou Shengsheng was much more cautious than theirs in his thinking, and he would not make a decision without deduction.

"Yes." Yu Hao said, "I will definitely be very cautious, just tell me."

"That's your friend," Lin Ze said, "What kind of friend?"

"A person who is willing to believe in me when I am being wronged." Yu Hao replied.

"Sometimes I don't necessarily believe in you, I just believe in their professional intuition." Lin Ze said, "But since this is the case, I can give you a general overview of the information I got, and I already asked you about it years ago... ..."

Zhou Sheng was riding a shared bicycle with a flying suit jacket and a black sports bag on his back. He returned the car outside the alley, swiped the key card to enter the unit, nodded to his colleagues, knocked on the door, and entered the office of the person in charge Xiao Jian.

Xiao Jian was applying lipstick in front of the mirror, without looking at Zhou Sheng, Qin Guodong was also there, Zhou Sheng pulled the swivel chair over and said, "I want..."

"The boss has been waiting for you all morning." Xiao Jian said, "I'll go out for a while."

Zhou Sheng stared at Xiao Jian, Xiao Jian smiled meaningfully at him, and walked out past him.Qin Guodong was making tea at his desk, while Zhou Sheng picked up the glass kettle and went to the side to fetch the boiling water.

"I'm talking about getting you a full-time job." Qin Guodong said in a steady and powerful voice, "I've been at work for a while, how do you feel about the unit?"

"Like a gangster," Zhou Sheng said, "but I like it. Mr. Qin, I think, he waited for me in the office for so long today, so he shouldn't be talking to me about getting a regular job, right?"

Qin Guodong scooped out the tea from the tea pot and said, "It seems that Xiao Huang is indeed a good friend of yours. Can't wait for a few pleasantries?"

Zhou Sheng was silent, Qin Guodong made tea seriously, as if nothing had happened.

"I thought he had a good relationship with you." Zhou Sheng said, "If you don't want to worry about it, I won't waste your time."

Qin Guodong said: "Xiao Huang's safety, which is more important than your own safety?"

Zhou Sheng said: "I will look at the actual situation, am I like a reckless person?"

Qin Guodong replied, "What about Yu Hao?"

Zhou Sheng stopped talking, Qin Guodong poured tea for him, thought for a while, and said, "I remind you thousands of times, remind you ten thousand times, to keep your personal belongings safe, but I didn't expect them to be taken away by the old man. Zhou Sheng, we I feel that sometimes, you are not as smart as I imagined. I should have known..."

"It's better to lock it in your safe," Zhou Sheng said with a smile, "Isn't it?"

Qin Guodong said: "Give it to me, what's the use of it? Zhou Sheng, you haven't figured out the key to some things. You can only hold that thing in your own hands, whether it's Zhao Liang or Lao Ren, whoever I didn’t dare to touch you, and I didn’t dare to touch people who are close to you. Xiao Huang was arrested, and you have to bear the blame.”

Zhou Sheng remained silent, his brows furrowed.

Qin Guodong said: "I remember that there was a son of a god in ancient Greece named Antai. As long as he stood on the ground, he could get energy from the ground endlessly. Finally, Hercules managed to get him off the ground and strangled him to death. he."

Zhou Sheng was silent all the time, Qin Guodong said again: "Now they have successfully taken away the most important source of power for you, and it is only a matter of time before they take you away next."

Zhou Sheng finally said, "Even you can't stop them?"

"I can only try my best." Qin Guodong said, "I and Lao Ren are just a cooperative relationship. There is almost no room for negotiation with Zhao Liang."

"Don't you want to keep it for yourself?" Zhou Sheng said, "To be honest, boss, I didn't quite trust you at first."

Qin Guodong looked at Zhou Sheng with a smile of unknown meaning.

"If I wanted a brain wave integrator, I would have started it on the first day you came to Beijing. Would you still wait until now?" Qin Guodong replied.

Zhou Sheng replied: "That's not necessarily the case. After all, if the attack fails, I just need to find a place where no one is around and hide. You all have to sleep, right?"

Qin Guodong said: "You underestimate my professional ability, Zhou Sheng, I really want to do it. I have never failed in my life."

Zhou Sheng: "But it's useless for you to take it, only I can turn it on. The best way is to arrest me together, force me to turn it on, go to your dream, and take you to study, it's just this initiative As long as it is handed over to me, something uncontrollable will happen again."

"That's true." Qin Guodong replied, "Ren Chong and Zhao Liang have been together for a long time, and I can't think of how to solve these strange tricks of yours, but I don't have the slightest desire for your treasures. .”

"I believe it now." Zhou Sheng thought for a while and said, "Why don't you want it?"

"No reason." Qin Guodong said, "A gentleman does something and doesn't. When he sees something good in someone else's hand, he uses his own strength to grab it. How is it different from a robber?"

"This really doesn't seem like the thinking of a person who has been in the system for so long." Zhou Sheng sighed.

"So I left." Qin Guodong said.

Zhou Sheng: "..."

Yu Hao frowned and listened, Lin Ze scratched his head, apparently unable to come to a conclusion for these three people.

Yu Hao: "So initially they were an information investigation agency."

Lin Ze nodded and said: "Yes, the full name is 'Special Investigation Team'. It is a bit like a secret service agency, but it is an intelligence organization affiliated with them. They are based on a three-person team. Initially, they were responsible for monitoring some special agents. Orders, things that are inconvenient to interfere, and analyze and pass a small amount of information for other organizations. The model of the three-person team, you can guess who you learned from."

"The former Soviet Union." Yu Hao said, "So they were established very early."

Lin Ze replied: "Of course they are not the first-generation leaders, but after the departmental reform proposal, this group is about to be abolished."

Yu Hao: "When?"

Lin Ze said: "Maybe in recent years? It is normal for agencies to have redundant functions, redundancy, and various restructurings. The special investigation team has great power, but it rarely intervenes in ordinary cases. The last one was the Ou Weihong case."

Yu Hao said, "Then what do they usually do?"

"Not doing anything," Lin Ze said, "maybe doing something, but according to my news channel, I can't find it."

"Which department did you get the order from?" Yu Hao said, "That's the most important thing."

Lin Ze hesitated to speak, raised his eyebrows slightly at Yu Hao, and said, "In short, you just need to know that this so-called 'special investigation team' is also influenced by higher-ups, and that's fine."

Yu Hao: "How superior are you?"

Lin Ze answered irrelevantly and said, "So I suggest that you don't mess with Ren Chong. Even if the other two go away, unless someone from the newspaper office is willing to protect you, it will be very dangerous. But when it comes to this level, it's not just news. So easy."

Yu Hao said: "Then let me ask it another way, why did you leave?"

"I don't agree with the idea?" Lin Ze said, "I changed my vote? Or I don't want to be involved more deeply. After the Ou Weihong case, in this group, Qin Guodong is said to have gone into business and engaged in some government business. Zhao Liang, who you want to investigate, has completely disappeared. But according to my inference, he did not go abroad. He has held this kind of job before, and he will not be allowed to leave China. The rest of Ren Chong will stay in the team."
