Dream General

The shock in my heart gradually subsided.

Qin Yiguan felt it was necessary to confirm one thing.

He turned on his communicator and sent a call request.

"Dr. House, how have you been lately?"

"Yiguan? I've been overwhelmed lately. Ever since the Gemini Superbrain opened up the Nutrient Pod, all sorts of normal people have been discovering they're sick. My little clinic is practically worn out by people coming and going."

Qin Yiguan paused for a moment, then said, "In other words, you haven't seen me or contacted me recently at all."

"Yiguan, have you developed some new ailment? If you feel it's necessary, please come over."

Qin Yiguan frowned. "This time, even I'm not sure if this is an illness."

Immediately.

Qin Yiguan then asked, "Dr. House, have you ever worn gold-rimmed glasses?"

"Weared..."

Dr. House sighed, "That was four years ago, but as soon as I put them on, You Minglan said I looked like a refined beast, which aroused her inner desires, and then she tried to pounce on me. I smashed those gold-rimmed glasses to pieces right then and there, and I haven't touched those things since."

Qin Yiguan pursed his lips. "Doctor, please continue with your work. I'll visit you when I have time."

Hang up the call.

Qin Yiguan was still pondering.

Dr. House, working at the Ring Research Institute, inexplicably started wearing a pair of mismatched gold-rimmed glasses.

Thinking this, Qin Yiguan shook his head and muttered to himself, "There's no need to think about it anymore. Everything before was undoubtedly a dream. When people dream, familiar things always appear, but upon closer inspection, they will find that these things are slightly different from reality. This is a kind of 'dream hint'."

Can.

Were the Lu brothers in the dream real or fake?

now.

Qin Yiguan looked out the window.

A state-of-the-art aircraft slowly landed.

This is a high-speed aircraft that he summoned through the ' Breath of the Mute ' network.

He then went downstairs and boarded the aircraft, whose destination was a tropical rainforest 6,000 kilometers to the south.

That is, the location of the Ring Research Institute in the dream.

Lush primeval forest swept past beneath our feet.

This scene was exactly the same as the one in my dream.

The aircraft slowly descended, and the dilapidated, empty white spherical building before them was exactly the same as in their dreams.

At the main entrance, the broken circular sign and the words ' Ring Research Institute ' below it were exactly the same as in my dream.

Push open the door.

The furnishings inside were exactly the same, and they were also filled with the smell of decay and dampness.

On a workstation in the lobby, the first skeleton appeared. Qin Yiguan flipped through its name tag—'Logistics Team Level 2 Staff Member—0255'.

This time, however, a name appeared on the back of the nameplate: Zhao Huaxu.

Hua Xu does exist, and he is indeed a member of the Ring Research Institute; however, his name contains the very common character 'Xu'!

Shocked.

Qin Yiguan exhaled slowly, "That makes sense; the employee's name should appear on the name tag! As for that one character, perhaps it was some kind of error?"

He went up to the second floor, to the Group A office from his dream.

'His dark prison is my blue sky!'

Large, scarlet characters came into view.

The slogans on both sides of the walls were the same.

Dreams are a release of repression!

'Dreams are the reality of parallel universes!'

Dreams are a loophole in the virtual world!

Qin Yiguan quietly surveyed his surroundings. The remains of the Group A members were all there, just like in the dream, except for Lu Zhoulang, who was missing.

Qin Yiguan tilted his head, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the basement of the Ring Research Institute.

At the end of the dark underground corridor, there is a small room with the words 'Equipment Management Room' written on it.

Push open the door.

What comes into view is a small space covered in dust, mold, and cobwebs, less than 4 square meters in area.

On the walls, there were also all sorts of big-character posters.

'You will be punished for your actions!'

You can't treat that child like that!

'I will definitely find a chance to stop you!'

Even if I'm all alone, I will never give up!

Qin Yiguan slowly flipped through the table and found an old mechanical watch, its model name being ' Submarine Guardian '.

This cramped equipment room in front of us is Lu Zhoulang's 'office', but of course, there is no body of Lu Zhoulang here.

Qin Yiguan's gaze was fixed on the control panel, where there was a worn and faded red copper switch with a line of Chinese characters marked on one side.

'Power Control System - The Dream Wave '

Click.

Click.

Qin Yiguan raised his hand and moved the brass button up and down, the crisp sound echoing throughout the room.

Of course, the entire former site of the Ring Research Institute had long been without power, and no matter how many buttons were pressed, no equipment would start.

Dream.

Everyone dreams. During an 8-hour night's sleep, everyone will have at least 4-6 dreams, and this happens every day.

But when people wake up, they don't remember anything, and may even think they slept very well.

That's because people can't recall the content of their dreams, so they are unaware of their existence.

There are clues to this.

When people fall asleep, many functional areas of the brain begin to rest, but the hippocampus is the only one that works diligently. It is responsible for helping humans organize memories, but as people enter the later stages of sleep, the hippocampus also begins to rest. It goes to sleep late and wakes up late.

In the early morning, when people are awake, the hippocampus is still asleep, and the human brain cannot function properly, so they cannot remember the dreams from the previous night, and these dreams gradually fade away as time goes by.

This also creates another probability.

That is, when the hippocampus finally Awakening, humans may recall fragments of their dreams.

For example, Qin Yiguan had been awake for an hour at this moment.

Suddenly, I recalled a long dream that happened last night.

He dreamed of it.

I have lived in a research institute since I can remember.

A group of scientists wearing white coats inject themselves with drugs every day, causing them to sleep for more than 20 hours a day.

But strangely, whenever the body falls asleep, 'itself' wakes up.

You can even see your own body, lying quietly on that hospital bed.

It was at this moment that ' Qin Yiguan ' suddenly realized a truth: he was not human, but a product of a dream.

Moreover, one can control dreams, whether they are one's own or others', like a general who can command a vast army through dreams.
