catch the dream

"Order someone to notify them," Ren Chong said, "Make sure you are safe with me."

Zhou Sheng insisted: "I want to fight myself."

"No." Ren Chong said, "I don't want to think about your schemes, you people have too many tricks, and if you are not careful, you will capsize in the gutter."

Zhou Sheng suddenly laughed: "It's really not easy to give such a high evaluation."

"If I'm used to grasping the facts of the case," Ren Chong said calmly, "I'm not afraid of you, but this matter is too bizarre. In order to deal with you, I haven't entered a deep sleep for nearly a month."

"I said..." Zhou Sheng murmured, "No wonder I can't enter your dream."

Ren Chong is only in his fifties, but he looks older than Qin Guodong, who is in his early sixties, or Qin Guodong is better maintained than him.His gray hair was neatly brushed back, he didn't wear glasses, his eyebrows were straight, his nose was straight, and his nasolabial folds were deep. When he looked at people, his eyes always had a hint of mysterious suspicion.

"Get up and follow me." Ren Chong said, "Don't move things around, and don't try to sneak attack me. My self-defense combat is no worse than yours."

"Don't dare, dare not." Zhou Sheng got out of bed, Ren Chong's subordinates put rubber handcuffs on him, Zhou Sheng was handcuffed in front of his body, and followed Ren Chong to leave the infirmary and out of the corridor.

Zhou Sheng had seen the surrounding environment in Huang Ting's memory in his dream. This is Zhao Liang's underground laboratory, so he is currently in Yanqing.With strong and firm steps, Ren Chong led Zhou Sheng and two of his subordinates through the corridor to the main hall, and quickly walked down the steps along the long corridor of iron plates. Zhou Sheng glanced at the computer in the center of the research room.

"This used to be a basement dug for anti-aircraft and anti-nuclear bombs." Ren Chong said, "Once the big steel door falls, no one can get in."

"What's the big one?" Zhou Sheng was still in the mood to joke until this moment.

"Don't talk about it, let's avoid the topic." Ren Chong said, "Even if you have a hundred ways, if you meet me, you won't be able to escape."

Zhou Sheng said, "I really have no sense of humor."

Ren Chong and Zhou Sheng came to this huge research instrument, Zhou Sheng frowned deeply, and looked at the computer group in front of him, as well as a small groove in the center, which was obviously used to place the Golden Crow Wheel.

"It's well prepared." Zhou Sheng murmured, "Have you known about the Golden Crow Wheel for a long time?"

"Zhao Liang was modified by someone." Ren Chong took the folder handed over by a researcher, flipped through it casually, and said, "This set of equipment used to be an important equipment used in Germany to analyze brain waves, judge and study epilepsy. Later, it was modified, involving the cutting-edge field of 'brain wave interference', and many theories were spoken out, but almost no one believed it."

"I don't understand," Zhou Sheng said, "There's no need to explain the theory, what are we going to do now?"

"You..." Zhou Sheng choked on Ren Chong's words, which he rarely encountered after he became a leader.He stared at Zhou Sheng for a long time, Zhou Sheng went to a chair, sat down leisurely, patted the armrest, crossed his legs and said, "Is that so? Take the initiative to cooperate with you?"

Ren Chong: "..."

Zhou Sheng said again: "Why do you have such a strange expression?" Seeing a leather tie on the armrest, he fastened one side of it himself, signaling the researcher at the side to come and help.

Ren Chong said: "You come down first!"

Ren Chong had nothing to do with Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng looked sideways at the large number of wires connected to the helmet. He really couldn't do anything, so he had to turn around and get down again. Ren Chong spread his hands and said, "Give me the Golden Crow Wheel."

Zhou Sheng had no choice but to untie the Golden Crow wheel and hand it over to him. The researcher at the side stepped forward and opened a device between the two chairs.

"This is an analyzer specially customized by Zhao Liang for the integrator." Ren Chong took the Jin Wulun and said, "Look at it clearly, the real function of what you have been holding is like this."

Zhou Sheng couldn't help frowning, looking at the surrounding environment out of the corner of his eye, a man with a gun was guarding every corner, always paying attention to the movements in the field.

Ren Chong lowered his head to check the Golden Crow Wheel. Its color was dull, and it was still a little different from the fake Zhou Sheng bought and made old. It was also tied with the red bracelet that Yu Hao wove for him.

There is a circular groove in the analyzer, Ren Chong murmured: "It has been waiting for more than two years..."

Ren Chong put the Jinwu wheel on the groove of the analyzer, and covered it with a transparent cover.At this time, Zhou Sheng found that all the researchers became tense, as if they were waiting for a historic moment to be born.

"You are its original owner," Ren Chong said, "I invite you to witness this moment together."

Zhou Sheng was silent, frowning deeply. After the transparent cover was covered, the Golden Crow Wheel was embedded in the groove and slowly stood up.Then, Ren Chong ordered: "Let's get started."

A researcher pressed a button on the computer group, and a silver-white solution that seemed to be alive fell from the cover box, and began to corrode and melt the golden black wheel!

Zhou Sheng: "!!!"

"Don't worry," Ren Chong glanced at Zhou Sheng and explained, "Just let it return to its original appearance."

The solution quickly corroded the entire Golden Crow wheel and the red tether, revealing the ring-shaped lines inside and several unevenly distributed crystals like water droplets!As the solution receded, the outer shell of the Golden Crow Wheel completely disintegrated, and it was displayed in front of them like a bare circuit board!

Ren Chong: "You have seen its internal structure."

For a moment, Zhou Sheng forgot that he and Ren Chong were enemies and not friends. He walked forward and stared at the neatly arranged and ingenious miniature circuit boards inside the golden black wheel in the cover box, and was completely shocked.

"It's a catalyst that connects people's brain waves." Ren Chong said seriously, "But I think that when it was first created, the energy injected into it was almost exhausted."

"I've always had a question, where did it come from?" Zhou Sheng looked at the complicated circuit, which was thinner than silk, like an optical fiber, connecting hundreds of small and large shining crystals, Just like countless rays of light connecting the stars in the night sky, a small universe appears in the casing!

"It's a beautiful creation." Ren Chong said, "It comes from outside the earth and the sky, which is the only explanation for it. Fortunately, it was discovered in the era of technological development, so that human beings will not be left behind. Come, take your place. , start the next step, Zhou Sheng, what do you think it looks like?"

"Like the Milky Way." Zhou Sheng said.

After the shell of the Golden Crow Wheel was dissolved, another researcher entered an instruction, the transparent shell was filled with magnetic force, the base made a "buzzing" sound, and the exposed lines and connecting crystals were all suspended.Slightly spread out inside the housing, rotating slowly.It has a blurred and even soul-stirring light, which makes everyone immersed in it involuntarily.

"Next, you will see a more beautiful scene." Ren Chong said, "We will inject enough energy into it."

Zhou Sheng's heart beat violently!

"Charge the integrator, check the power and reserve power..."

"Three, two, one..."

After the countdown was completed on the computer screen, Ren Chong pushed a switch, obviously a little nervous. When the switch was pushed to the end, there was a "buzz", and all the lights in the underground research room went out together!This was originally a good opportunity for Zhou Sheng to try to escape, but his thirst for knowledge had surpassed his desire to escape, so he decided to take a serious look at what would happen.

Electric energy is emitted from the magnetic levitation base, filled with dazzling blue light, which becomes more and more dazzling in the dark underground research room. All the crystals light up almost at the same time, only the largest crystal remains dim.But in just a few minutes, the electric arc on the base fell silent, and the surroundings returned to darkness.

"What's wrong?" Ren Chong asked.

"The power is not enough," said the researcher. "The energy consumption is greater than we thought."

Ren Chong took the report and read it. Zhou Sheng saw that it was the detailed analysis content when Chen Yekai sent the Golden Crow Wheel to STA. Since then, they have been preparing for the Golden Crow Wheel?

"The battery in the central processing area cannot be charged." Another researcher said, "The external input part needs to consume a huge amount of energy, but you can try it."

Zhou Sheng also found out, and asked Ren Chong, "Why?"

Ren Chong didn't know any more, so he had to ask the researcher the same way, and a researcher replied: "Maybe it's because the energy input method is wrong, Mr. Ren, do we need to continue? This is just the preparation stage. If the experiment is carried out while charging the energy, Maybe stronger, more stable power delivery is needed."

"How much energy is needed?" Ren Chong turned his head and ordered one of his subordinates, "Go and prepare, mobilize enough energy, and make sufficient preparations before starting the experiment."

Zhou Sheng approached the Golden Crow Wheel and stared at the largest crystal, and the other small crystals surrounded it like stars. After a round of charging, the small crystals became a little brighter than the naked eye could discern.

"What experiment do you want to do?" Zhou Sheng looked at Ren Chong suspiciously.

Ren Chong said: "Go and meet in your dream, it doesn't need to consume so much energy, it is possible now."

Zhou Sheng became vigilant. Ren Chong's purpose seemed to be more than that simple. What did he want to do? To mobilize the power supply of the entire region to activate all the functions of the Golden Crow Wheel?

"Come on," Ren Chong said, "Strike while the iron is hot, let's start now."

Zhou Sheng: "May I suggest or wait?"

However, subordinates came over immediately, supported Zhou Sheng, and pushed him onto the chair. Ren Chong moved his wrists, loosened his cuff buttons, rolled up his sleeves, and sat on another chair.Zhou Sheng knew that struggling was futile, so he chuckled and saw the medical staff coming over to inject them with sedatives.

Zhou Sheng said to Ren Chong: "Teacher Ren, people in their fifties, taking drugs is not good for their health."

Ren Chong said confidently: "Of course I don't take drugs like Zhao Liang. If you want to take drugs, you will take them. Could it be that you can't think of adding some neuron inhibitors to you? You underestimate me too."

Zhou Sheng took a deep breath, and Ren Chong said: "Too arrogant, too arrogant, and a life that has never failed, has shaped your character that is not afraid of anything. As a human being, you must know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people..."

Zhou Sheng closed his eyes, the medical staff flicked the needle tube, injected Zhou Sheng and Ren Chong respectively, and injected sedatives.

"Monitor brain wave activity." The researcher said, "It is estimated that you will enter a deep sleep period within 10 minutes..."

Investigative office meeting room.

"That's it." Yu Hao said, "I didn't know he would be trapped in a dream. This plan is simple to say, but it is not simple..."

Chen Yekai said: "Zhou Sheng wants you to get a part of his totem so that you can gain the authority to open the Golden Crow Wheel."

Yu Hao nodded, and Fu Liqun said, "We should wake up Zhou Sheng immediately."

Chen Yekai replied: "The gun is on my head, I can't move, do you think someone like Ren Chong would not dare to strike? I also thought that if Zhou Sheng was desperate to escape, Zhou Sheng would be shocked when he shot. He will be awakened, but even if he wakes up, it's useless, Jin Wulun will still be taken away by Ren Chong."

Ou Qihang said: "It's not important anymore, I think your idea has something to do with it."

Chen Yekai said, "It's too dangerous."

Fu Liqun asked, "Have you tried it?"

Yu Hao: "No. So, I need everyone's help."

Ou Qihang: "How do you pass on the news to everyone?"

"It can't be passed on," Yu Hao said, "It can only rely on tacit understanding."

Chen Yekai said: "Can you design a way to transmit signals to the outside world in the dream, for example, sensory stimulation, so that we can notice that you have a condition, without being too complicated."

Yu Hao thought for a while, and said, "Maybe it's possible. It's like running in a dream. When you sleep at night, your legs will twitch unconsciously... Well, please pay attention to my fingers."

Fu Liqun said: "Try, but it is best to have a doctor by your side. If it doesn't work, you can wake you up at any time."

Yu Hao said: "If I fail, is there any need for me to wake up?"

"Don't say that!" Fu Liqun and Ou Qihang said in unison.

But Yu Hao looked at Chen Yekai, and said, "If Zhou Sheng is not rescued, I will travel through the subconscious world until I find him. What is the use of waking up alone? ?”

Chen Yekai unexpectedly did not speak, Yu Hao said seriously: "Mr. Chen, I know you can understand me."

"You..." Ou Qihang said, "Yu Hao, don't think so."

"The worst case is that Zhou Sheng will be deprived of his totem, lose himself, and be exiled to his subconscious mind." Yu Hao said, "Then Ren Chong will obtain all the authority of the Golden Crow Wheel, and give me a sleeping Zhou Sheng. Can't wake up again. What does it mean to me to be awake?"

Everyone fell silent, Yu Hao said: "Anyway, I've made up my mind, from the moment the plan starts, no one will have to wake me up again."

There was a moment of silence in the conference room, Xiao Jian knocked on the door outside, pushed the door in, and was not too surprised to face the silence.

"The boss asked you how long it will take." Xiao Jian glanced at the watch in her hand and said, "It's already eleven o'clock."

Chen Yekai said, "I wish you success, Yu Hao."

"I wish you success," Fu Liqun said, "Bring the young master back."

Ou Qihang said: "I wish you success, don't forget how you persuaded me back then, Yu Hao."

Yu Hao nodded, laughed, and said, "Wait for me to call you."

When a few people went out, Qin Guodong's motorcade was ready, Chen Yekai drove his own car, and everyone got into the car one by one. When Ou Qihang got up at the end, he handed Yu Hao a bottle of medicine.Xiao Jian said to them from outside the driver's seat: "Follow our car later, Yu Hao, what do you want to do?"

Chen Yekai: "We have our own way, let's go, hope it goes well."

Yu Hao counted the sleeping pills in the car and grabbed a handful, Ou Qihang said, "Four to five are enough for you to sleep for a long time, don't take more."

Fu Liqun unscrewed the mineral water and handed it to Yu Hao. Yu Hao swallowed nearly seven or eight pills at a time, and took the water down. Ou Qihang laid the seat flat, and Fu Liqun held Yu Hao's hand.

"I want to retrieve the memory of that day long, long ago." Yu Hao replied, then closed his eyes and fell into a dream.

"Entering the deep sleep period... the integrator is starting to work, look!"

The researcher was surprised.

Everyone gathered around, the optical fiber-like golden black wheel circuit was transmitting a magnificent luster, all the crystals were shining, and the largest crystal in the middle projected a ripple-like light.

"Use the refraction program to project it out."

The monitor was projected onto the large central screen, and the screen showed a magnificent image, the vast sea of ​​clouds, golden lights, Zhou Sheng's dream, on the zenith platform, he was holding a golden cudgel, facing Ren Chong who was walking towards him.

"No sound..."

The sea of ​​clouds rolled, Ren Chong came to the center of the platform, and looked up at the Golden Crow Wheel.

"The majestic scene is really a masterpiece bestowed by the gods..." Ren Chong murmured, staring at the Golden Crow Wheel intently, "This is the so-called 'totem' that is fused with your 'self-awareness', Zhou Li. At this point, do you decide to hand over your self-awareness to me honestly, or do you plan to struggle one last time?"

"Hey." Zhou Sheng sneered, "What a big tone, did you forget that this was in my dream?"

"Theoretically, as long as everyone controls self-awareness in the dream, they are omnipotent." Ren Chong looked around and said in a deep voice, "Dreams are your territory, and everything that exists happens because of your free will Change. It’s just that under the power of the brain wave integrator, it is the right direction for individuals with strong will to intervene on individuals with weak will.”

As soon as Zhou Sheng was playing with the golden cudgel, he obviously felt powerless, and watched Ren Chong vigilantly, his hands shimmering.

"How strong is your will? As long as I kill you here," Zhou Sheng said with a smile, "You in reality will never be able to wake up again. Teacher Ren, let's see if you have the ability."

Ren Chong said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger cub? It's worth it. Since you don't want to hand over the 'control' honestly to me, don't blame me for doing it."

Zhou Sheng suddenly pulled out a golden fire, and shot towards Ren Chong!

Outside the investigation office, the convoy drove up the street, Chen Yekai looked at Yu Hao in the back seat from the rear-view mirror, and Fu Liqun held Yu Hao's hand all the time.

"He fell asleep, don't drive too fast."

"It's okay, the medicine is working, so I won't wake up so easily." Chen Yekai replied.

Yu Hao fell asleep lying on his back, his body was covered with Fu Liqun's coat, with one hand showing the coat, he and Fu Liqun were holding hands.

Where did our story begin?At the moment when I closed the door, was it deep down in my heart that I still longed for the door to be pushed open by him?The years kept rewinding in his thoughts, the green mountains and plains in spring, the heavy snow in winter, the golden leaves in autumn... From the moment they fled in the snow and met, countless thoughts ran through Yu Hao's mind like a revolving lantern. flashed in.

The video when the two places separated, Zhou Sheng panting, galloping on the platform, chasing after the high-speed train that had already left; the rented house in Ying City, the snow field outside Shikong Mountain during the Spring Festival and the snowballs flying around , Zhou Sheng protected him behind him, facing his furious father; the cruise ship departing on the river bank, the heart handed out by himself in class; the distant green hills on the ferris wheel and the nervous people in front of him; Just like the previous life...

Xue Xueqing stood on the stage, Yu Hao looked towards the auditorium, and saw Zhou Shengfu smiling at him in front of the railing in the last row... Days and nights in the dormitory, faded chess in the luggage, the dark Great Wall and the sudden burning... The flames lit up and shined in the world, and the ginkgo leaves were scattered, and everything was fixed at the moment when Zhou Sheng asked him for a lighter with a cigarette in his mouth.

Yu Hao walked into his dreamland. Without the power of the Golden Crow Wheel, everything seemed hazy, like a thin layer of fog. The capital city and mountains in the distance, and the Great Wall further away, looked like ink paintings.

"It's here." Yu Hao whispered.

He stood in front of the cement hut and said, "Come on."

Yu Hao pushed open the door, but unexpectedly another person appeared inside - the dark self who once controlled his totem.

At this moment, the dark Yu Hao raised his head, looking at him a little at a loss.

On the Kolosim platform, the Golden Crow wheel erupted with powerful flames. Zhou Sheng held the golden cudgel in his right hand and ignited a raging fire in his left hand, and pressed down on Ren Chong.

"Give—I—get out!" Zhou Sheng roared angrily.

Ren Chong said loudly: "Do you know where the biggest mistake you made is?"

Ren Chong dodged and rushed up the fence with one step, that explosive speed appeared again!Just like Zhao Liang turned into an afterimage, Ren Chong's speed was even faster, and he suddenly bowed to Zhou Sheng's waist. Zhou Sheng was beaten and flew out!

"You have only paid attention to the impact of dreams on reality, but you rarely think about how it will affect yourself in dreams once you suffer physical injury in reality."

Zhou Sheng stood up leaning on the golden cudgel and looked at Ren Chong. His thinking became slower under the influence of the medicine, making him unable to resist Ren Chong's normal speed.But at this moment, the sea of ​​clouds gathered and changed, and Zhou Sheng's black dragon back emerged, quietly approaching Ren Chong from behind.Zhou Sheng raised his eyes and looked at Ren Chong, with a sly smile in his eyes.

"This is just the beginning." Ren Chong said, "The Golden Crow Wheel here is your 'totem'? Don't play tricks anymore."

Zhou Sheng suddenly roared, "You're fucking courting death!"

The black dragon suddenly jumped out of the sea of ​​clouds and grabbed Ren Chong!Ren Chong was caught off guard by the black dragon and pulled away to struggle. Zhou Sheng burst out a golden fire and rushed forward again!
