Behind the wisps of steam rising from the teacup, Mister Bai continued at an unhurried pace. "Old Mister Luo is doing much better than he was a few months ago. That is certainly cause for celebration. As for Master Xiu, he is still the same as ever. But this time, I spoke with him in greater depth. He took the initiative to tell me about 'dream entry'..."
At this point, Mister Bai looked up at Ronan. "It seems there is a similar research project centered around him, concerning the deep excavation of personal memories through the Dream Entry Method?"
This was somewhat different from the direction Ronan had expected, but prompted by Mister Bai, he remembered.
"Yes, there is such a thing."
As he spoke, Ronan was also rapidly choosing his words.
In truth, the project had been devised some time ago, after Master Xiu had developed a death wish and wanted to arrange an "organ donation." After Ronan notified He Yueyin, they came up with this tactic. The so-called project had only one purpose—to stall for time.
But that was not something he could say. He could only use the same line they had used on Master Xiu.
"Well, this project is mainly aimed at Li Wei and the Deep Blue World. As you know, the Deep Blue World has released many people over the years, just like Master Xiu. But due to methods such as memory alteration and erasure, it is still very difficult to understand what went on inside. So we thought of doing some work excavating their memories."
Ronan could now weave lies without blushing or missing a breath. He even had the leisure to "correct" certain details. "You just said 'personal memories,' but that is not quite right. A single person's memories have limited value.
