Dream Guide

Hou Biao couldn't help but jumped into the river and swam towards Jiang Deguan. But when they swam to the middle of the river, Jiang Deguan disappeared.

He plunged into the water and groped for a long time at the bottom of the river. He came up to take a breath and went down to grope again. It went up and down many times like this, and I searched the bottom of the river but couldn't find Jiang Deguan.

He landed dejectedly and sat on the rocks on the embankment, all wet, without saying a word.

Qingmu came over and said, "Let's go back to Wuzhong."

"What are you going to do? Be a bodyguard for you?" Hou Biao laughed self-deprecatingly. Besides being a bodyguard for a rich man, what else can he do in his life?

Aoki said: "I am not a rich man."

Hou Biao said: "Then what are you going to do?"

Aoki said: "Go back and change your life."

Hou Biao said: "Let me think about it."

Aoki said: "Okay, come to me anytime you decide."

Qingmu left, and Hou Biao thought for a long time by the river. It was not until dawn that he sighed at the calm river, stood up helplessly, and said: "Master Jiang, I tried my best."

Hou Biao walked onto the stone bridge and pushed the tricycle down. The car was an eyesore blocking the bridge, and he wanted to push it into the mulberry field next to it.

As soon as he pushed the tricycle out of the car, he suddenly heard a gunshot.

The sound of the gunshot came from nowhere. It seemed to come from far away, yet it wanted to come from close by, echoing endlessly in his ears.

He was startled by the gunfire, suddenly thought of something, and then the world started to spin.

Hou Biao steadied his body, raised his eyes and looked around, seeing numerous shadows in the darkness filled with cars, stacked one on top of another, like crawling with dead steel bodies.

Isn't this the same scrap car parking lot where he hid his car and exchanged it for a three-wheeler?

Hou Biao looked at the three-wheel pusher in his hand and suddenly realized that everything he had just experienced was just a dream. He had been hypnotized since he was looking for a three-wheeler in the parking lot. At this moment, he had just found Sanwa, and Jiang Deguan should still be in the van when he came.

After the gunshots echoed, the parking lot fell silent.

Hou Biao cursed, "Fuck!" He pushed Miwa down and ran towards the van.

Jiang Deguan was lying in the van with a gun in his hand, and the bullet penetrated his temple. Judging from the scene, he committed suicide with a pistol.

Hou Biao looked around blankly and saw Qingmu standing behind him, with his hands in his trouser pockets and his body leaning lazily on a scrapped old car.

"Come back to Wuzhong with me." Qingmu said.

Hou Biao said: "I could have saved him, but you hypnotized me."

Aoki said: "You just walked a little longer to save him, and you have already seen the result in your dream. Rather than letting his body float in the river and die in front of the elders in his hometown, it is better to die here. Why do you work in vain?"

Hou Biao sat down on the ground slumped.

He raised the gun and pointed it at his temple.

Aoki said: "You said yourself that you have tried your best. You no longer owe him anything, so why bother?"

Hou Biao said: "I have no love in my life, what should I do with my life? Go back to work as a mercenary, or should I continue to be a bodyguard for the old man?"

Aoki said: "Maybe there are some more meaningful things that can be done, such as..."

"Like what?"

"Like saving all humanity."

"Save all mankind?" Hou Biao laughed, thinking it was good to hear such a joke at this time.

"Of course you can't save humanity, but some people can," Aoki said.

Hou Biao raised his head: "So? What do you want to say?"

"I mean you can use your skills to protect those who need protection more."

"President of the United States?" Hou Biao suddenly felt that this joke was not funny at all. "Is there any difference between being a dog for a rich man and being a dog for an official?"

Qingmu said: "It seems that although Jiang Deguan saved your life, he didn't treat you well. Otherwise, why would you think that being a bodyguard is like being a dog?"

Hou Biao stopped talking, carefully weighing Qingmu's words in his heart, and finally shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Jiang did not treat me like a dog, it was me who thought too much."

Aoki said: "Your subconscious mind doesn't lie."

Hou Biao was silent for a long time and asked: "Who do you want me to protect?"

Aoki said: "Scientists who can save humanity and good people who may be harmed. By protecting them, you can also become a respected person, not just a jerk who is not easy to mess with."

Hou Biao said: "Let me think about it."

"Okay, think about it slowly and come to me anytime when you think about it." Aoki said.

Hou Biao stood up tiredly and walked numbly in the steel world made of scrap cars. After walking a few steps, he remembered that Jiang Deguan's body was still in the car, and it would not be appropriate to expose it here after all.

He wanted to go back and drag the body out and find a place to bury it, but when he turned around, he suddenly found that the scenery had changed. There were parking lots and scrapped cars, and there were no bodies.

There are trees everywhere, and the wind blowing from the trees, mixed with the calls of night owls, sounds extremely scary.

Hou Biao saw the shadow of the hazy village and scattered lights in the distance, and suddenly remembered that this was the mountain they entered after abandoning the car and walking. He was now going to get food and then a van. But those were obviously not real, and it was impossible to turn back time. It was a dream he had after being hypnotized.

At this moment, Jiang Deguan should be hiding in the rock crevice on the mountain, waiting for him.

Hou Biao thought that if he was hypnotized at this time, then things like Huang Ziqiang's men chasing him into the mountains and Jiang Deguan being injured would not be true.

Thinking about it now, Huang Ziqiang could only keep an eye on his car. It was impossible for him to chase him into the mountains after he abandoned the car. If it was Li Wei, he would still believe that the other party had such ability.

He hurriedly turned back and ran back, and saw Jiang Deguan sitting there blankly looking up at the sky. There was no cloud in the sky during the dark night, and the low-hanging stars seemed about to fall.

"Master Jiang!" he shouted.

Jiang Deguan slowly turned around, looked at him and said, "Monkey, you did your best, don't worry about me anymore, you can go."

Hou Biao began to wonder if he was dreaming now, so he did not answer the call, but looked around him warily.

Jiang Deguan said: "When you walked away just now, I kept looking back and reflecting on my life. This quiet wild forest is very suitable for thinking. Now I have figured it out. I have lived this life. Although I have lived It's not what I want, but glory and wealth are things that ordinary people can't enjoy in their lifetimes. What's there to complain about? There's no point in living anymore. It's better to die early and be reborn early. In the next life, you can be a good person. The same people.”

Hou Biao felt more and more that he was still dreaming at this moment, and what Jiang Deguan said was not like his usual behavior at all.

"Do you know my ideal when I was a child?" Jiang Deguan continued, "I wanted to be a scientist when I was a child. My favorite cartoon at that time was "Doraemon", and now it's called Doraemon, but ours I always call him Ding Dong. I like his magical pocket, which is full of visions for the future. I want to be a scientist who can change the world. I even often imagine that if aliens invade the earth one day, I will be the one who saves the earth. Humanity’s hero!”

Hou Biao was suddenly stunned: "Save mankind?"

Jiang Deguan smiled and nodded: "Yes, which boy hasn't had such a dream!"
