Cyberpunk: 2075

Thomas Kress opened his eyes. He immediately turned over his fat body and looked at the crystal desk lamp beside the bed. However, he found that there was no one next to the desk lamp.

"Is it an illusion?" he thought to himself.

The vigilance raised in his eyes from hearing the sound in his sleep subsided slightly. After Thomas Kress quickly confirmed that there was nothing abnormal in the place where he stored his belongings, he supported his fat body with both hands and sat up.

His hand touched the light switch next to the bed and pressed it, and soon the entire suite was filled with brightness.

Thomas Kress looked around the suite, but did not see any suspicious figures, which made him rub his temples involuntarily.

Is it the recent excessive stress that causes you to have dreams and dreams while sleeping?

Although I heard health doctors talk about this, I didn't expect that I was really stressed to this extent.

"call."

After letting out a slight breath, Thomas Kress, who had just fallen asleep not long ago, felt that his sleepiness had dissipated a lot, so he simply got up and got out of bed.

Thomas Kress walked towards the bathroom in the suite, but he didn't notice that when he passed by a sofa,

Someone behind the sofa was watching him secretly through the gap.

At this time, several people in the KK team's channel were talking very fiercely.

Oliver: What should we do? The target seems to be awake. What should we do?

V: Do you want to knock him out? Anyway, judging from his behavior when he woke up, the things should be in that lampshade. How about we knock him out and take the things and leave?

Jack: If you want to do something, hurry up. The curtain cloth where I'm hiding now is half of my body exposed. I just hid somewhere casually in desperation. It's not like Oliver and V who hid behind the sofa for a short time. It will be exposed, and if he is discovered and screams, he will be in trouble.

The three people on the team were asking Karl for his opinion, and Karl slowly sat up on the other side of the bed where Thomas Kress got out of bed.

"There's no rush yet."

Karl said this in the team, remaining seated and staring at the back of Thomas Kress.

The small triangular area formed by the edge of the bed and the ground is a blind spot for the person lying on the bed. When Thomas Kress woke up, Karl judged that he would definitely look at the desk lamp on the left immediately and get down. He also subconsciously walked under the secret location when he was in bed, so he chose to hide on the right side, and the result was just as he expected.

"We have been hiding in a dangerous way, but the moment of exposure has not yet come. If we are really exposed, we should not act in a hurry. The best case scenario is that we have to go safely. If a person is knocked unconscious and wakes up, he will be the first to do it. The reaction must be to check his own secrets, but when he wakes up, he will not immediately think of checking his own secrets. The behavior of Thomas Kress when he got up just now confirmed this to me, and let him sleep peacefully. You can buy us more time.”

"What kind of psychology is this?"

Oliver asked in confusion: "If it were me and I felt there was something wrong with something, I would definitely check it as soon as possible."

"A sign of excessive stress."

Karl continued: "I remember seeing in Mewtwo analysis that when a person hides an extremely important secret in his heart, this secret is so important that he even thinks in his heart that it may affect his life, he will always Use some self-deceptive approach to small-scale attempts at concealment:

And so does his fear of that secret, which grows heavier and heavier in his heart as time goes by, until he can barely breathe and doesn't want to think about it anymore:

Therefore, he will subconsciously resist this secret and be unwilling to face reality until reality is inevitably placed in front of him. "

"I didn't quite understand."

"People say that if a child steals money from his parents and is worried that his parents will find out, he will become more and more afraid until he can no longer hide it. During the few days when he steals the money, he will be very well-behaved and even dare not When it comes to raising money, even if his parents get even a little closer to where they put the money, his heart starts to beat fast and he doesn't want to face it. "

"Why does it sound like you have a deep understanding of it?"

Oliver asked strangely: "Have you experienced it?"

"No, because when I was a child, I didn't know where my parents kept their money."

Karl said: "It can be seen from the behavior of Thomas Kress when he got up just now. His heartbeat was very fast, and his eyes were full of panic when he looked at the lampshade where the secret was stored, but after confirming that nothing was wrong, At least nothing happened on the surface. He immediately relaxed and even stopped shaking. However, he didn't even dare to get out of bed and check the lampshade. Don't you think this is really like what I saw in Mewtwo? That psychological analysis?”

"Does the Mewtwo you're watching have a proper noun for this thing?"

V asked.

"I don't know, but it's enough to know his psychology."

Karl stared at Thomas Kress who was staring blankly in the mirror in the bathroom without even closing the door, waiting quietly.

"Sparse....

,

In the bathroom, he took some water and wiped his face. Thomas Kress, who felt more conscious, looked at his unmodified eyes in the mirror. There were no bloodshot eyes, and there were no dark circles on his face, but His appearance was full of haggardness.

‘Four days. ’

Thomas Kress encouraged himself in his heart.

In four days, he will be able to complete his inspection of the front line of military technology as a new political figure in the new United States and return to his loyal Washington.

If it weren't for the fact that the people in his family who supported him thought that he should come to the front line to face Arasaka, he would not have come to Los Angeles, the test site of military technology.

"It will be over soon.

After washing his face, he was much more awake, but he still decided to end the day early. To avoid restlessness in his sleep, Thomas Kress turned his head and looked at the position of the bed.

The direction of the bed was empty, but for some reason, Thomas Kress always had a strange feeling, as if there was someone there a moment ago.

The strange feeling caused by stress is getting worse and worse. I have to take good care of myself when I return to Washington.

Walking back to the bed, Thomas Kress turned off the light switch and closed his eyes.

After washing his face, the quality of sleep was very good, and there was no dream all night.

"Mr. Kress, your breakfast is ready. ”

During the day, Thomas Kress opened his eyes when the waiter rang the bell.

“Three more days...”

He muttered, subconsciously looking at the table lamp on the left.

No abnormality.

No abnormality...

Thomas Kress suddenly had a strange feeling.

He ignored the waiter's voice, quickly turned over and walked to the side of the table lamp.

Press the secret compartment that will pop out automatically, and the inside will pop out.

Inside, there is nothing.

Thomas Kress was stunned.
