Officer, Please Arrest Me

1999.

The first day of the New Year.

Everyone was happy.

Adam was happy.

Although Robin was initially unhappy, she ended up being happy.

Shame, like integrity, is something that, once lost, is gone forever.

So much so that when her colleagues at the TV station called to remind Robin to get ready for the broadcast, Robin almost didn't want to go.

The land of gentle pleasures is the graveyard of heroines.

Adam prefers the song "ps·I love you".

But once Robin had sung the song enough, her mood returned to its sunny and cheerful state, and she returned to the early days of her fame. After Robin Sparkling was resurrected, Adam did not reject Robin.

This gave Robin a feeling she had never experienced before.

Looking at the special effects robot accompanying Robin Sparkling in the music video on the car's TV, and then at Adam beside her, Robin felt a moment of disorientation.

Is the director of this music video a prophet who can foresee the future?

My girlish heart is so tender!

Robin cursed inwardly, struggling with her thoughts. Just like Doctor Strange's soul was blasted out by the Ancient One, her soul also emerged from her body and floated in mid-air. Before she could understand what had happened, she was already in the music video in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, she was making a gesture of opening her arms.

She recalled that during the original filming, she only performed this one action.

The rocket effect behind her propelled her into space; that was added in post-production. At that time, she was just a young idol singer with no acting experience whatsoever.

When the director asked her to pose as if flying with outstretched arms, she couldn't bring herself to convey any emotion. Only after repeated guidance from the director did she manage to put on an exaggerated expression of boundless surprise.

But now, she suddenly realized.

What a joy it would be if humans could break free from Earth's gravity and fly into the sky.

So, she naturally revealed an expression of boundless joy.

This moment.

Although she herself cannot see her own performance.

But she knew that the Oscar owed her a Best Actress award!

Is this a superpower?

A soulful singer + a soulful actor?

Thinking of this, Robin couldn't help but feel a little elated, as if he had the soul in his hands and entertainment at his fingertips!

Just then, a colleague from the TV station called and asked her to be the host of the late-night garbage time segment. It was as if gravity had suddenly come into play again, pulling her, who was floating in space, downwards.

Therefore, she felt very disgusted with it.

Fortunately, the last thread of reason remained. Just as she was about to fall to her death from the clouds, she immediately snapped back to reality. Hearing the urging and reminders on the other end of the phone, she quickly agreed and hung up.

"Damn it!"

Robin cursed angrily, "You almost killed me!"

"It can't be that bad, can it?"

Adam laughed.

"I'm in a hurry, please get me to the TV station quickly."

Robin turned the rearview mirror and began to tidy herself up, recounting the terrifying experience of her soul falling from space and about to crash face-first to the ground.

"That's normal."

Adam comforted him, saying, "Many people have this kind of dream experience. It may be because they are in a bad mood or feeling depressed, or they are physically unwell or overly tired. I often had this kind of dream when I was a child."

Do you often have this kind of dream?

Robin paused what she was doing and looked over in surprise.

She believed Adam as soon as he told her.

Because whether it was a bad mood, depression, physical discomfort, or excessive fatigue, she just fit all of those descriptions.

But the fact that Adam also had this kind of dream, and frequently at that, piqued her curiosity.

"Um."

Adam turned the key, started the car, and gently pressed the accelerator. The car slowly drove out of the mall's underground parking lot and headed towards the TV station.

"When I was studying medicine later in life, I looked it up and found that it was a subconscious symptom of psychological anxiety or a warning sign from the body. It's very common, and as long as you don't fall to the ground in your dream, it's nothing to worry about."

This is certainly not from this life, but rather Adam's experience in his previous life.

Adam often had this kind of dream when he was a child in his previous life.

For example.

In a vast, empty field, Adam ran frantically. Then an airplane flew low overhead, and Adam reached out and grabbed the base of the plane. He was lifted into the sky and, as the plane passed over a dark, gaping cliff, his hand could no longer hold on. He let go and plummeted towards the dark cliff.

As Adam continued to fall, just as he approached the parallel line between the cliff and the ground, Adam screamed in terror, then his legs went numb, and he woke up.

When I woke up, I found that my legs were indeed numb, and it took a while for them to recover.

Emmm.

Adam's anxiety as a child wasn't psychological; it was just his body giving him warnings.

In this life, I studied medicine and discovered that this phenomenon is quite common.

But interestingly, in the United States, there are fewer physical warning signs and more subconscious psychological anxiety.

It's no joke that this place is a paradise where people are depressed and take drugs to relieve stress.

Someone even made a movie about it, where the male lead, 'Reverse-Flash' (who played Reverse-Flash in the Flash), had an accident and was lying in a hospital bed in great pain.

Then in his dream, he kept encountering all sorts of troubles, such as unexpected medical accidents during a simple surgery, his wife cheating on him with a handsome doctor, and his high and mighty self being bullied by the lower classes.

In reality, these are all things that his subconscious anxieties are imagined by his brain.

Emmm.

Of course, there were also beautiful nurses who took the initiative to make advances towards him...

After regaining consciousness for the last time and learning the truth, he returned to the dream world and jumped to his death, ending his dream world.

In reality, he also died.

Of course, this is a movie.

"What if you fall to the ground in your dream?"

Robin was startled.

"That's troublesome."

Adam shook his head and said, "Whether the dream of falling from a high school is a sign of psychological anxiety or a physical warning, it is the brain's way of issuing a warning. The fact that you automatically wake up before you hit the ground in a dream is also a form of self-protection by the brain."

As you should know, the brain's nerves process information transmitted from all parts of the body.

Without this brain self-protection, one could fall to one's death in a dream.

It's very likely that the brain has already accepted this message.

You must have heard of that prisoner experiment, right?

Blindfold the condemned prisoner, slice his wrist with the back of a knife, and then make a dripping sound...

"He was terrified!"

Robin exclaimed in shock, "You mean if you dream of falling to your death from a great height, you will actually die?"

"The death row inmate is not dead."

Adam laughed and said, "He was just scared unconscious, but various detection instruments showed that the death row inmate was in extreme fear, and a series of physical data showed that the death row inmate was in a state of blood loss."

The prisoner didn't die of fright.

But that doesn't mean others won't die.

It's not uncommon for timid people to be scared to death.

Therefore, a person who falls to their death in a dream may not necessarily die, but they could die because their brain reacts to the dream.

"OMG!"

Robin was stunned for a while until Adam drove up to the TV station and nudged her. She then came to her senses, exclaimed, and punched Adam hard in the chest, yelling, "You almost killed me just now!"

"..."

Adam smirked, unsure of what to say.

"Hurry up, or you'll miss the recording."

Adam, both amused and exasperated, could only offer this advice.

"You suspect in attempted murder!"

Robin glared at Adam resentfully, grabbed a coat from the back row, walked out, put on the coat, and strode towards the TV station.

Although he was almost killed, no one would believe him if he told them.

Others might think she's in Versailles and feel envious and jealous of her.

Therefore, she could only reluctantly give up, return to reality, and prioritize keeping her job.

Adam glanced at the time; it was only 10 p. m. After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and dialed a number. "Officer, I've just been charged with murder. Please come and arrest me."
