Indescribable cyberpunk

A glass of water, two pills.

"What's this?"

Weighing the pills, Zhu Jue sat on the chair and looked at Su Zi and asked.

When the latter asked him to help with dream consultation, he did not refuse.

On the one hand, Zhu Jue wants to know the difference between ordinary people's dreams and fantasy dreams. On the other hand, because if nothing unexpected happens in this dream inquiry, he will get very important information, and Zhu Jue, who does not have a computer installed, doesn't want to We can only understand the situation through Suzi's narration. After all, it is a description with a certain degree of subjective consciousness. Even if Suzi tells everything he knows, there will inevitably be bias.

"This is medicine to ensure that you will not wake up suddenly in the dream. Dro will help us prepare the external conditions for dreaming. Now I have to tell you some precautions during dream consultation and our arrangements later. "

Suzi is obviously a veteran in this field, not that she has conducted many dream consultations, but that she knows this technique very well.

As for personal experience, there is no such thing. Although Mozi has retained her brain and can dream as a full-body prosthetic person, her fully mechanized body cannot accept the connection of dream consultation equipment. Forcing dream consultation will only make things troublesome. .

It is precisely because of this that Suzi thought of asking Zhu Jue as a helper, otherwise she would have done it herself.

"First, our dreamer will set up a scene in her subconscious, and then set up a very safe place in this scene. Her subconscious will think it is safe, and then hide the secrets we want to know there. , and then you need to take the two of them in."

Suzi pointed at the people Zhu Jue was sitting on the other two lounge chairs, and then introduced,

"Scout Zhao Qilin, he will help you solve some unexpected situations in the dream. Since this is your first time doing dream consultation, if there is any improper operation, he will remind you and stop you as soon as possible."

"Just call me Scout or Xiao Zhao. I've heard of you. You were the man who turned the tide and killed the Taoist Master of the Holy Spirit Cult at the Spring Festival in Rong Xia City five years ago. The clip of you flying in the sky riding a Sky Ghost was shown in our Yi League It’s been rumored internally for a long time.”

Zhao Qilin looked at Zhu Jue excitedly. To a certain extent, the man in front of him was his idol. After all, if he had not stood up for the disaster that year, the entire Rongxia City would probably have become a victim of the cult.

"If Qian Sanwen is careful, he will help you hold back the subconscious mind of the main body in the dream and buy you time. After entering the dream, you can take care of your own actions and don't affect him, and he will not affect you."

"I will give you a time reminder through the watch. After entering, it will appear on your right wrist, and the pointer points to zero. Then it will start. You must exit before the minute hand completes one revolution. The circle here is not an hour. But I am adjusting. If her subconscious senses a problem, I will adjust the pointer to 15 minutes, and adjust it in 15-minute intervals according to her reaction level. This is very important. If I find that the pointer is heading towards 0:45 , please retreat to the predetermined awakening point immediately, and the scouts will help you escape from the dream."

Compared with Zhao Qilin, Qian Sanwen is obviously much more prudent when dealing directly with his subconscious mind.

"The setting of the dream this time is based on the Balia slum. This is one of the few pieces of information we obtained during her previous interrogation. That is her birthplace. In a place she is familiar with, her vigilance will drop a lot. , the place where the secret is hidden is the safe in Room 603 of a residential building. All you have to do is open the safe and take out the things. As for the weapons that may be used in the dream, I put them in that residential building. In the mailbox at the door. I will start the dream setting now. If you are ready, take medicine and lie down. The machine has been connected."

After speaking, the woman on Suzi's right took the pill and lay down on the bed. After only a minute or so, her breathing began to become even and she snored slightly.

"When you get in, please stand where you are and I will come find you."

After Zhao Qilin finished speaking, he took the medicine and fell asleep. Qian Sanwen lay down next to him, leaving Zhu Jue alone sitting opposite Suzi.

"I have a question. If we are discovered by her subconscious, will we die in her consciousness?"

Not in a hurry to take the medicine, Zhu Jue pinched the pill and asked.

"Once discovered and killed by her subconscious, your consciousness will be exiled to a special area in her mind, where you will gradually lose your own memories, and the condition for return is that you commit suicide, so if you have no choice but to When you are in danger, killing yourself is the best choice. Compared with retreating according to the predetermined method, this behavior will cause you some mental damage, but at least it can ensure safety."

"Will I be weak after entering her consciousness?"

"Normally speaking, because it is her subjective dream, and anyone can do whatever they want in their own dream, so I arranged for Qian Sanwen to attract her attention. The purpose is to prevent her from discovering you too quickly, but your The situation is very special, so I don’t know what will happen to you in her dream. If you feel that it is dangerous, it is not too late to refuse now, and I can call them back again."

Suzi thought that Zhu Jue thought this behavior was dangerous and didn't want to continue, so she took the initiative to speak.

"No, this feels just right."

After swallowing the pill, he lay back, touched the wind chime that he had put in his arms in advance, and looked at Suzi,

"I've been strong for too long, it's not bad to try this feeling of weakness once in a while!"

Tick~

The sound of water drops falling on the water surface rang in Zhu Jue's mind.

There was an inexplicable sinking feeling in his consciousness, which made Zhu Jue kick his legs subconsciously, even though he couldn't feel it.

The scene in front of me began to turn from pitch black to white, and finally the white began to fade away, turning into a lake. Sea?

Zhu Jue looked at the water extending infinitely into the distance, and looked around at the pure white space.

"The machine operates very smoothly. I wish you don't have to worry, sir."

Zhao Qilin's voice came from the side and behind,

"You can think of what you see now as a loading interface. The dream maker is constructing the dream and it will take some time. Please look at your feet."

Subconsciously, he turned his gaze to the water. Under the originally empty water surface, a large number of dilapidated buildings crowded together began to appear, and Zhu Jue and Zhao Qilin were above them.

"Under the water is her subconscious level. There will be some special changes when we enter later, so don't be nervous."

Following Zhao Qilin's reminder, Zhu Jue soon discovered that the water had reached his ankles and was rising continuously.

"Keep a calm mind. This is a sign that the loading is about to be completed. Please follow me next."

He quietly waited on the spot for the water to cover his legs, waist and abdomen, until his head was submerged, without any discomfort, as if the water did not exist, and Zhu Jue could feel that his breathing was still smooth.

Just when the water completely covered the two of them, their figures began to fall, unhappily, as if they were in the water, and finally landed on a building at their feet that Zhu Jue had seen before.

He saw even worse housing than those in the Shenzhen-Hong Kong area. Those houses with uneven floors were built with iron sheets or similar to freight cars and were similar to children's toys. Zhu Jue even suspected that as long as these buildings were destroyed together, they would be destroyed. It will disappear like a sandcastle on the beach.

The crowds shuttled through it like an ant army, and transportation was extremely rare. They were doing their own things, which seemed to be very orderly, but there was no sign of any animation.

The two of them stood on the roof. Zhao Qilin stepped out first and did not fall. Instead, he started walking down against the other side of the wall.

Zhu Jue watched from the side, imitating his steps.

The next second, the world was spinning!

The side of the building that was supposed to be perpendicular to the ground suddenly became flat ground, and in Zhu Jue's eyes, the street at the bottom suddenly became a tall building, with people walking on it as usual.

At the same time, the water surface that was originally floating began to sink again!

"The laws of physics do not apply here. The Dream Maker will create maximum convenience for us. It seems that the loading has been completed and the target has been confirmed, right there!"

Zhao Qilin quickened his pace and raised his hand to point to a residential building in the distance. Compared with the shabby houses around it, this building was equally shabby, but at least it was decent in style.

"In her subconscious, the place to protect her secrets cannot be a house like the one below our feet, so the dreamer will deliberately build a fairly good one among a bunch of inferior houses, and it is no surprise that she I will hide my secret in room 603!"

Stop when you hit the ground, and the world returns to normal.

"Keep a normal pace and don't be impatient at this time."

Zhao Qilin tugged on the shabby clothes on his body, and even Zhu Jue took a look at his clothes, which were a work clothes full of oil stains. He looked at the glass showcase on the roadside for a few times, but his face did not change.

Turning his attention to the world in front of him, Zhu Jue frowned the next second.

Garbage is piled up scatteredly, dirty streets exude strange smells, old electrical appliances are piled in the display windows, the screen is full of "cracking" snowflakes, pedestrians in strange clothes are coming and going, some are wearing black blankets, some are holding arms A wooden box full of garbage is used as a treasure.

Zhu Jue looked up and saw that the pure white sky had become shrouded in dark clouds at some point. There was no rain, only an oppressive darkness.

Following Zhao Qilin and walking forward, Zhu Jue noticed something strange within a few steps.

Someone is watching me.

An old man in a shop window by the roadside, a beggar in the garbage pile on the corner, and even a lame old dog with toothy teeth

"Why are they staring at me?"

He leaned closer to Zhao Qilin and asked in a low voice.

"This is normal, because we are foreign consciousness, and the subconscious mind of the original body will subconsciously pay attention to us. Now we are just some of them."

Zhao Qilin has rich experience and said in a leisurely manner.

"Normal situation?"

Zhu Jue's eyes turned to a shop, which seemed to sell all kinds of sundries.

For some reason, Zhu Jue's eyes immediately locked on the center of the window.

There was a mask placed there.

yellow silk mask

Is it really normal?
