catch the dream

"You..." Yu Hao looked at Chen Yekai in disbelief. Chen Yekai's handsome face was full of anxiety, and his figure was dragged for a long time, but at this moment, Yu Hao suddenly noticed something——

—Has the sun not set yet?Almost three hours have passed!

"Try shooting?" Zhou Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, with a mischievous smile, and said, "I bet there is no bullet in the gun."

Sooner or later, the whole world suddenly collapsed, and towering rainforests rose up all around. Zhao Liang's expression changed in a daze.

"Here...is it still a dream?!" Zhao Liang murmured with horror on his face.

"Answer, yes, yes!" Chen Yekai and Zhou Sheng shouted angrily at the same time, each drawing their weapons, Zhou Sheng swept away with one stick, and immediately swept Zhao Liang's car flying across the road.Yu Hao was dumbfounded in an instant, he was in another dream!But not long ago, they were still fighting in Huang Ting's dream, why...

"Catch him!" Zhou Sheng shouted, "Don't let him escape this time! It's up to you! Kaikai!"

Chen Yekai shot the flying knife, Zhao Liang dodged it sideways, and when he was about to escape, the surrounding vines swept over, wrapping Zhao Liang tightly, Yu Hao flew forward, grabbed Zhao Liang by the collar, and took He flew into the air.

Yu Hao: "This reversal is too fast!"

Chen Yekai and Zhou Sheng each whistled, the black dragon passed through the sun of the world of Chichen Itza, Zhou Sheng turned over and rode on the dragon's back, Chen Yekai's Feathered Serpent flew from afar, and took him off .Yu Hao threw Zhao Liang to Chen Yekai, and Chen Yekai threw it to Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng's dragon claws caught Zhao Liang and flew towards the top of the pyramid.

"Your dreams are so realistic!" Yu Hao shouted.

Chen Yekai replied: "I designed an area in my dream that is almost the same as the real environment, and I just had a perfect opportunity. The two of us plus this guy, went directly from Huang Ting's dream to mine."

Zhou Sheng said, "After I wake up Huang Ting..."

Yu Hao: "You just came out of the labyrinth world!"

Zhou Sheng: "Yes—then I continued to sleep, returned to Kaikai's dream, and cooperated with him in this play. I pretended to be unconscious and asked Kaikai to inform Zhao Liang of my location, but he took me away...fortunately , Huang Ting's memory contains the specific situation of the laboratory, otherwise your environment will not be established in the end."

"That's why I said that we have to meet him at least once," Chen Yekai said, "to get detailed details. Yu Hao also helped a lot."

Yu Hao said: "Why didn't you make it clear in advance? You have kept it from me for a long time!"

"I'm afraid you realize you're dreaming." Zhou Sheng said, "Once I'm not by your side, your dreams will start to become unstable, and when you realize you're in someone else's dream, it's too easy to wake up. As long as you wake up, you will disappear from Kaikai's dream, so Zhao Liang will also become suspicious."

Chen Yekai said: "Before entering the maze, the last dream we stayed in was the world of Chichen Itza. I tried to hint to myself and constructed a dream where you were waiting for Zhou Sheng to come back at home, so..."

Yu Hao: "That's right! I'm still a little surprised, why did I wake up after passing through the moon, and I should go back to Teacher Chen's dream. You two really..."

Yu Hao finally roughly understood the trap set by Zhou Sheng and Chen Yekai... It's so powerful that it's intertwined!

Chen Yekai said: "This requires your cooperation, so that you are always swaying in the suspicion that I may betray you, but you finally believe in me. Otherwise, you would not leave home with me in your dream."

"But even if I believe in you without the slightest doubt, I will follow you, won't I?"

Zhou Sheng said again: "If you don't have this suspicion, and you trust Kaikai, then you can easily notice that something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Yu Hao asked.

"It should be Zhou Sheng who came to pick you up, not me." Chen Yekai said, "When your subconscious convinces you to believe that Zhou Sheng has been betrayed by me, at this time, the person who comes to your house is Me." As he spoke, Chen Yekai stood on the Feathered Serpent God, gestured towards Yu Hao, and explained: "Although this idea has not surfaced in the superficial consciousness, as long as your subconscious logic cannot be self-consistent, you Then you get a strong sense that it doesn’t make sense, you question yourself further, and you wake up suddenly.”

Yu Hao probably understood, and said, "How did you know that he would follow me back to Teacher Chen's dream?"

"We both designed the same scene in our dreams." Zhou Sheng said, "I guess he has the ability to interfere with invading dreams. I discussed it with Kai Kai several times. I just wanted to trick him into my dream to clean up. Kai insisted on a double insurance..."

"Look, it's okay to listen to me, right?" Chen Yekai said to Zhou Sheng.

"Hmm." Zhou Sheng said, "At first, I thought, or I would agree to bring him into my dream, but..."

Zhou Sheng explained to Yu Hao for a long time, only then did Yu Hao realize that Zhou Sheng and Chen Yekai had targeted Zhao Liang before that and set up a complicated trap to deal with the "dream invasion".After all, as long as the Golden Crow Wheel is in Zhou Sheng's hands, he is almost invincible.Chen Yekai proposed to set up a scene in the dream that is almost exactly the same as the reality, no matter who makes the move, they will all be tricked to solve the problem.

It's just that Huang Ting's dream exceeded their expectations, and Zhao Liang's strength increased greatly due to the injection of stimulants. In the end, Zhou Sheng thought for a long time and managed to throw him into Chen Yekai's dream. Beam counters.

"Okay, dear Teacher Zhao."

The black dragon and Feathered Serpent stopped on the platform, and Zhao Liang was thrown in the middle, bound by vines, with an apple stuffed in his mouth, so unable to speak, he could only whine.

"You don't seem to understand it," Zhou Sheng frowned at him, and casually said, "Is the stimulant still effective?"

Speaking of Zhou Sheng stepped forward and kicked Zhao Liang hard, Yu Hao only felt that this scene was really ridiculous. A moment ago, Zhao Liang beat them so vigorously that they didn't even have the strength to fight back, but now the situation is like this Forcibly reversed and tied up into rice dumplings?

Chen Yekai said: "Don't ask for cheap things, beware that he still has back hands, and hurry up to get down to business."

"It's cheaper for you." Zhou Sheng replied, "Eat the apple, eat, eat, eat it for me."

Yu Hao: "..."

Without knowing it, Yu Hao completed the perfect cooperation with them this time, and now he just feels weak all over, saying: "I want to go out to take a shower, I don't want to play any more."

"Okay." Zhou Sheng said to Yu Hao, Chen Yekai raised his hand, the vines took root in the ground, and lifted Zhao Liang up, Zhao Liang still whined, with a pleading look in his eyes, beckoning him to explain.

Zhou Sheng ignored him, raised his hand, and forcibly pressed it on Zhao Liang's forehead.

Zhao Liang suddenly opened his eyes wide, watching the flashback of the memory almost in despair, Yu Hao was stunned, and the scene flashed, Chen Yekai said: "Mr. Zhao is a very upright person."

From childhood to college, Zhao Liang had a girlfriend, fell in love and started a family, his wife and son went abroad, all of these experiences can be seen at a glance.In this short moment, Yu Hao saw most of the life of this middle-aged man who was nearly 50 years old. He was misunderstood, criticized, and demoted. He was originally a martial arts instructor, but he was transferred because he made a mistake, but was asked by Qin Guodong to investigate. Group.

Zhao Liang had solved several major cases with his own hands, was promoted by Qin Guodong himself, and was targeted by Ren Chong. Zhou Sheng frowned deeply, and the three of them read Zhao Liang's life in this way.

Until he came into contact with STA and captured the person in charge of the studio under STA, Chen Yekai said in a deep voice, "Sure enough, he was arrested."

Zhou Sheng said: "When we rescued Huang Ting, we rescued people together."

Yu Hao said, "Shall I read this passage?"

Zhou Sheng flicked his finger to show Yu Hao a group meeting between Qin Guodong, Ren Chong and Zhao Liang. There was no one else in the meeting. Zhao Liang and Ren Chong got into an argument, very excited, blushing, and Qin Guodong remained silent. , and finally Qin Guodong got up and left first.

What they were discussing was whether to continue to track down Jinwulun, and how to deal with Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao.In the end, Qin Guodong decided to resign, and Ren Chong verbally agreed that he would not attack Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng also pointed out one of the scenes, which was the most secret thought in Zhao Liang's heart.

As long as he gets the Golden Crow Wheel and the ability to ride dreams, Zhao Liang thinks that he can change anyone's mind from now on, and equalize in one fell swoop. He is really fed up with the reality in the investigation team. factor, nothing can be done.Jinwulun can put the whole system under its own control, no longer need to spend all its energy to persuade others to accept its point of view, and no longer need to care about the constraints of what it does.

"It's quite ideal," Chen Yekai commented, "I want to change the world in this way."

"It's a bit crazy." Zhou Sheng also commented, "You are a beautiful woman, how can you be a thief? Life and death are all in your hands. It should be very scary for a person like you to let himself go after getting the Golden Crow Wheel. thing."

Zhao Liang stared at Zhou Sheng with unwillingness in his eyes.

"Even if you sit in that position, you can't do whatever you want." Chen Yekai commented.

Yu Hao said: "But according to his logic, as long as he gets the Golden Crow Wheel, he can indeed do whatever he wants."

"En." Zhou Sheng replied nonchalantly, and began to read the research report on the Golden Crow Wheel in Zhao Liang's memory again. Suddenly, a large number of reports came through the scene screen, and all of them came out in an instant.

Yu Hao saw Zhao Liang's imagined future - Zhou Sheng was sitting on a chair, Zhao Liang was sitting on another chair, and in the middle was an electrified Golden Crow Wheel, which was shining with blue arc light.

"This is your 'cooperation'?" Zhou Sheng replied, "It doesn't seem so comfortable, you look at this."

Zhou Sheng brought up another memory, and presented it in front of Chen Yekai and Yu Hao. It was a discussion meeting about the Golden Crow Wheel. The researchers began to speculate and analyze the operation mechanism of the Golden Crow Wheel, and gave it a This one is called "Brainwave Integrated Repeater". Their research basis is very limited, and most of them revolve around the copy of the analysis report that Chen Yekai got when he handed the Golden Crow Wheel to STA last time.One of the conjectures is that the Golden Crow Wheel lacks enough energy to support its operation. Once it has enough energy, it will be able to connect human dreams through the collective subconscious.

The meeting also confirmed Yu Hao's other conjecture. In fact, even if the Golden Crow Wheel does not exist, people will still enter the dream state, but the influence of dreams without the Golden Crow Wheel is very unstable, and the "self-awareness" felt in the dream is relatively weak. more blurred.The Golden Crow Wheel enhances the signal of the brain waves that produce dreams and keeps them stable, which allows human beings to gain the ability to control the self and the conscious world in dreams.

In the end, the meeting unanimously agreed that further research could only be carried out after obtaining the Golden Crow Wheel, and it would be best to bring Zhou Sheng along for his cooperation.But in order to gain Zhou Sheng's control over the Golden Crow Wheel, it is necessary to constantly debug - first connect Zhao Liang and Zhou Sheng's consciousness to each other, and then try to make Zhao Liang "swallow" Zhou Sheng's totem.Assimilate their conscious world...

When Yu Hao saw this, his back immediately felt cold.

"How did you come up with this engulfing method?" Yu Hao himself had never thought about it.

"Take away my totem?" Zhou Sheng murmured, "No wonder... there is still such a way."

What followed was a lengthy discussion and analysis on the "totem", each hypothesis was put forward and refuted, and constantly overthrown. Yu Hao was very confused when he heard it, but Zhou Sheng watched it quite seriously.

There was a passage in the memory scene at the end, which was said by a researcher.

"First of all, this 'totem' symbolizes the self. From the part of Ou Qihang's missing memory, what Zhou Sheng explained to him, we all agree that it is one of the roots of the recognizable existence of 'I'. Why does getting a totem symbolize regaining None of us have a problem with our own mastery, right?"

Everyone at the meeting replied: "Yes."

"Then let's think about it from another angle. The brain wave integrator may be in direct contact with Zhou Sheng's totem. It indirectly empowers Zhou Sheng by acting on Zhou Sheng's 'self' and exerts its effect."

"It's possible," Zhao Liang replied, "it's a reasonable guess."

In the end, the researcher said: "So as long as you get Zhou Sheng's 'totem', it is equivalent to controlling part of his self-awareness, and at the same time establishes a connection with the integrated repeater. If you want to deceive the identity authentication of the repeater , we can think of a way in this regard.”

This time, the participants did not express any obvious objection. After a moment of silence, Zhao Liang said, "Yes, let's try in this direction."

Zhou Sheng snapped his fingers, the memory content disappeared, and finally the whole process of Zhao Liang's use of Huang Ting's layout appeared, just like their guess.In order to avoid alarming Zhou Sheng, Zhao Liang took Huang Ting as a trap and decided to observe Zhou Sheng's strength in his dream to understand the situation. Zhou Sheng caught him back.

Zhao Liang specially found Chen Yekai and asked Chen Yekai to cooperate. Chen Yekai proposed an exchange condition—once Zhao Liang obtained the Golden Crow Wheel, let him find out the existence of Long Sheng in his memory. If possible, Chen Yekai would like to Transformation is carried out through this method of devouring consciousness, so that the dead dragon can be reborn.

"We discussed it, and we said that to win Zhao Liang's trust." Zhou Sheng said to Yu Hao.

Yu Hao nodded, and glanced at Chen Yekai, Chen Yekai smiled and didn't explain, Yu Hao thought, maybe this is also a real wish of Chen Yekai, although it can't be fulfilled - but maybe he really thought so Pass.

"Okay." Zhou Sheng confirmed all the details, "Now we have a good understanding of your plan, so you don't have to worry about it, Mr. Zhao, as the saying goes, mental patients have broad minds, and mentally handicapped children have more fun... "

Yu Hao: "..."

Zhou Sheng: "Sometimes don't think so much, but live a simpler and happier life. Come, let me help you unload the burden."

Zhao Liang struggled violently, but Zhou Sheng ignored him and snapped his fingers again. All the memories about the Golden Crow Wheel burned together and turned into light spots, and Zhou Sheng pressed his hand on Zhao Liang's forehead again, saying: " Good night."

A gust of light and wind blew past the Chichen Itza platform, turning into countless intertwined light spots. Zhao Liang's memories of the Golden Crow Wheel disappeared completely with this "good night".

The three stood quietly, Zhou Sheng scratched his head, remained silent for a while, and said, "This time is quite dangerous."

"I thought you would take him to your world." Chen Yekai said, "Look at this plan to seize the totem, it is indeed very dangerous."

Yu Hao said: "Try to solve it in other people's dreams, I'm really terrified to see it."

Chen Yekai said: "If you get your totem, you can control your consciousness...is it feasible?"

Zhou Sheng said, "Let's go and have a look in my world."

Zhou Sheng brought the two of them back to the sky platform of the Kolosim dream world, and the three of them looked up at the Golden Crow Wheel.The huge Golden Crow Wheel exudes prominence-like flames outward.

Chen Yekai said: "I used to feel that the Golden Crow Wheel in your dream is completely different from other people's dreams."

Zhou Sheng nodded, and said: "It can also be regarded as a part of my spiritual totem, but having said that...we seem to have never tried to take away the most important things in other people's hearts. From the very beginning, no one fiddled with it. Have you ever seen another family's totem?"

"Yes, once."

As soon as Yu Hao said it, Chen Yekai and Zhou Sheng came to their senses!

"I gave you my totem, but it's only part of it." Yu Hao said.

Zhou Sheng said: "So, I took your totem away. So Jin Wulun thought that you became me..."

"No," Yu Hao said, "You became me."

Chen Yekai frowned: "Wait! Who will become who? Zhao Liang's meeting speculation is reasonable!"

Yu Hao instantly understood, and guessed along Chen Yekai's train of thought: "So, Jin Wulun believes that part of my consciousness is controlled by Zhou Sheng! It's like a small piece of Zhou Sheng's soul is in my body, So I also obtained some of the abilities bestowed by the Golden Crow Wheel!"

"Fine, no matter who gets whose totem," Zhou Sheng immediately said, "As long as this process happens directly, um, the Golden Crow Wheel will judge like this, so I also have... the ability to control your dreams."

Yu Hao said: "You can also transform my dream! You have my authority in the dream... And then, I also became the corrector of the Golden Crow Wheel, a second-level administrator!"

Now Yu Hao understands that although the original owner of the dreamland can "give" the totem, whether it can be forcibly taken away by "snatching" is not yet clear, but snatching Zhou Sheng's administrator rights is theoretically possible. It's doable!

Chen Yekai said: "You can't let anyone come here, Zhou Sheng. Otherwise, things will definitely get out of control."

Zhou Sheng said "hmm" and said, "It's okay, they can't beat me in my dream, and there is another one who is more difficult to deal with." Zhou Sheng gestured to the sea of ​​clouds and said, "Anyway, You have to defeat the boss before you can get my totem, right? My boss can't even defeat me."

"Okay." Yu Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he had to admit that with Zhou Sheng's temper in reality, if anyone entered a dream and wanted to snatch Zhou Sheng's totem, he might fall in front of Satan first.

"Next, there are researchers who know the facts, but we have to find them one by one slowly." Yu Hao thought for a while, and then said, "Such a large group of people, it is impossible to locate them. Although Zhao Liang lost his memory, he only needs to start from the After waking up on the machine, wouldn’t you ask the researchers what happened? Even if everything is cleaned up at once, the computer used for analysis is still there, and the data is saved, right?”

"Of course." Zhou Sheng said, "This group of people are not fools. After waking up, they must first ask the people around them about the situation, right?"

Chen Yekai replied: "It's normal for the mind to be confused for a period of time, but this kind of confusion will not last for too long. Then we will have a meeting to understand the whole thing and sort out the process..."

Yu Hao said: "So in the end he will still find ways to come to us again."

"No." With a smile in his eyes, Zhou Sheng shook his finger and explained, "He may not take the same actions as before. Next, we can go into his dream to wreak havoc at any time. He is no longer our opponent."

Chen Yekai said: "You have to stand in his position and feel it yourself. How would he think about Zhou Sheng now?"

Yu Hao was about to ask why, but it suddenly occurred to him that the sudden disappearance of Zhao Liang's memory about the Golden Crow Wheel meant that he had completely lost to Zhou Sheng. For him, this kind of blow was obviously quite fatal—he didn't They would know exactly what Zhou Sheng did to Chen Yekai in his dream, and would only form a powerful and mysterious impression of Zhou Sheng, and maybe even a little fear.

"Yes, he has completely forgotten about it," Yu Hao said, "This will make him feel a little scared."

"This is a deterrent," Chen Yekai reminded, "a warning. As long as people who are interested think clearly, they will not continue. He is not Ou Qihang. He can clearly understand the memory loss. The exact content in time, and the connection between cause and effect, is quite shocking."

Zhou Sheng: "Zhao Liang will impose a fear effect on himself. With this effect, we are almost invincible in his dreams."

Yu Hao said "Yes" and nodded, thinking that Zhao Liang should be able to interrogate his colleagues and Huang Ting now, but when will he put Huang Ting back?

"Zhao Liang's question is put on hold for the time being, and the next target is Ren Chong, or Qin Guodong?" Zhou Sheng's golden cudgel turned into a coin, and he tossed it nonchalantly in his hand, saying, "Facing Ren Chong, On the back is Qin Guodong."

"I suggest Ren Chong." Chen Yekai said, "Once Zhao Liang loses his memory, Ren Chong will soon know that the Golden Crow Wheel in his hand is a fake."

Zhou Sheng threw the coin to Chen Yekai and said, "But don't forget, Huang Ting hasn't been released yet, it's best to contact Ren Chong as soon as possible to save Huang Ting."

Yu Hao signaled Chen Yekai to throw it away, Zhou Sheng pondered for a moment, and said, "After waking up, for the sake of safety, let's live in another place first."

Yu Hao said, "Go back to Ying City?"

"Ying City is not very safe either." Zhou Sheng replied, "Everyone can guess that we will go home, or go out for a walk? As long as this time passes..."

Chen Yekai tossed the coin, and the coin rolled in the air, drawing an arc. Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao looked up and watched the coin fall, but the moment the coin fell, Chen Yekai suddenly disappeared.
