War Paradise

After half an hour. When Lin Chi arrived at Universe Hao's house, he was immediately taken aback.

The housekeeping robot here seems to be broken. The cylindrical body leaned against the corner of the wall and did not move. The corner was facing dozens of trash bags, emitting bursts of stench.

"No wonder there are mice in your house." Lin Chi sighed, "Doesn't the housekeeping robot fix it?"

"I don't have time..." Universe's face was gloomy: "Little Sister doesn't care about these things."

"Throw away the trash anyway?" Lin Chi clutched his nose.

"I've said that I'm running out of time. And now that garbage sorting is so annoying, I don't have time to sort the same."

Universe Hao sat on the dirty sofa and raised his head to look at Lin Chi: "You kid, why did you take me home forcibly? My Little Sister is still there?"

"It's too dangerous to go back now. There was a car accident on the street and the police were almost there," Lin Chi said.

"So just leave her there and wait to die!" Universe stood up abruptly and grabbed Lin Chi by the collar: "You'd better say it clearly, otherwise my fist—"

Snapped!

Lin Chi activated the exoskeleton and threw Universe on the sofa like trash: "I said, don't get excited, you will be fine with Little Sister."

"How can you be sure? You are in a group with those bastards?" Universe asked gritted teeth.

"The equipment in that basement is not simple, like experimental prototypes and the like. Seeing that the infusion equipment also uses an automatic infusion system, no matter what they plan to do, it should treat your Little Sister as an experiment."

Having said that, Lin Chi looked at the colorful neon lights outside the window: "Moreover, they should have made a lot of preparations for this experiment. It is impossible to give up that girl easily."

"I, thinking, asking, is: how would you know?" Universe Hao said word by word, his red eyes seemed to be bleeding soon.

Looking at the extremely angry Universe Howe, Lin Chi stood beside him and whispered: "When I was almost hypnotized just now, I was just confused and didn't see any illusions. And you... should be confused by the illusions. Bar?"

"No." Universe clenched his fists.

"If not, what's the matter with the ‘dream’ you just mentioned?" Lin Chi squinted his eyes and said meaningfully, "Do you really think it's just a dream?"

As soon as this remark came out, Universe Howe lowered his head and said nothing.

After a long silence, the man who was eager to save his sister finally spoke slowly: "Linzi, you mean...that dream is an illusion that I saw after being hypnotized?"

"Yeah." Lin Chi nodded, "I heard it at the time. You said'I'm fine, Sophia'."

Hearing Lin Chi's description, Universe Hao opened his eyes in surprise: "I did say this. When I saw Sophia sitting on the ground in a daze, she thought I was dead..."

"I was thinking, why didn't I see any illusions, but you experienced a vivid'dream'?"

Lin Chi looked at the picture frame on the wooden table in the living room with great interest. The young girl in it compared scissor hands to the camera, grinning with a happy smile.

"It may be just a coincidence." Universe coughed.

"No, I thought of another possibility."

Lin Chi sat next to Universe Hao, his heavy body wrapped in exoskeleton, and the sofa suddenly sank: "I am more concerned about whether the'Sophia' you meet is really you, Little Sister?"

"You are crazy." Howe Universe shook his head vigorously.

"I'm serious." Lin Chi stared into the other person's eyes: "Can you describe your dreams in detail?"

"It doesn't matter at all!" Universe roared loudly: "I have to save her!"

"I think this is the key to resolving the incident." Lin Chi said seriously.

—— Universe Howe doesn't seem to care about the "dream state" he sees when he is hypnotized, but Lin Chi's current focus is on the so-called dream.

Anyway, after being hypnotized on that occasion, I saw a "cute girl" immediately, which was a bit of a coincidence.

Moreover, according to Universe Howe's previous brief description, this illusion is not like a dream he would have on that occasion.

As the saying goes, "Thinking by day, dreaming by night", Universe Ho, who is always thinking of saving people, even if he is really dreaming, he will not see in his dreams a scene that resembles the rest of his life in a car accident.

Coupled with the sudden hypnosis before, it seems very suspicious what Universe Hao saw after being hypnotized.

"Lin Zi, you are afraid that you are playing games and playing silly..."

Universe Hao looked gloomy and clenched his fists tightly: "You mean, I ‘online’ with Little Sister lying in the game cabin without using the brain imaging equipment?"

"It's possible." Lin Chi nodded.

"Then they are still doing experiments in a broken place like Beicheng District?" Universe sarcastically said: "The discovery of'non-device-conscious connection' can win the Nobel Prize!"

Obviously, Howe Universe still doesn't believe in own words. But Lin Chi also knew that when someone else heard this kind of thing, he would definitely not believe it.

——In the case of not using equipment, entering the same "phantom" with other people, it sounds like a fantasy in an absurd novel.

But in Lin Chi's view, the crux of the matter may be in this dirty apartment.

"Of course it's not that simple to be'online'." Lin Chi turned his head and looked around, observing the "trash dump" next to him: "Think about it, why only you see the illusion? Don't you think it's weird?"

"Maybe the brain structure is different." Universe Howe was still mocking.

Ignoring the other party’s sarcasm, Lin Chi said that own inferred:

"Have you been hypnotized long ago, but haven't found it?"

Whether it's the abnormal behavior of Universe Howe Little Sister suddenly taking the initiative to go to the basement, or Universe Howe's weird behavior in the basement, they all seem to be brainwashed by something.

If this is the case, things that caused mental problems for the brother and sister may still remain in the apartment where the two of them lived together.

And the reason why Lin Chi brought Universe Hao back here was precisely to look for things that hypnotized the siblings.

"Nonsense, I'm going back to save people!"

Universe Hao stood up and walked away, but Lin Chi slammed the back of his neck with a sharp palm, and he passed out in darkness.

"Sorry, buddy."

Seeing Universe Howe's head was buried in a garbage bag full of toilet paper, Lin Chi sighed.

In order not to let this guy go back and "give away people's heads" again, he can only do so.

Standing in the dirty living room, Lin Chi gave new orders to Frankenstein:

"Check his home's electronic storage device, find unusual programs or chat records, report to me immediately."
