Delusion Master

The night wind passed through the buttonhole on the sleeve.

The muscle groups of the fingers glide under the skin.

Squeeze the trigger—this small action suddenly has an incomparably long process.

In the left eye with extremely strong dynamic visual acuity, all changes are invisible.

When the electrode dragged the copper wire and shot out of the muzzle, Bai Yuan had staggered away from his original position, and at the same time locked the arm of a bodyguard on the side, pushing him towards the muzzle of the gun.

The barb hooked the clothes of the hapless Shield, and he immediately collapsed to the ground, his muscles twitching violently.

The convulsions hadn't stopped yet, and two more bodyguards fell under the fierce fists.

Seeing that Bai Yuan kicked another one with a tiger-tailed kick, opened a gap in the encirclement, and ran towards the gate, already out of the ten-meter range of the electric shock gun, the head of the bodyguard was in a hurry, pulled out the pistol from the holster under his ribs, Aim at the target's leg and fire a shot.

The gunshots passed through the silencer and sounded dully in the courtyard of the mansion in the early morning, with only a small echo.

Bai Yuan was knocked down by the impact of the bullet.Blood spattered from the thigh, and condensed in the air into a wolf with scarlet fur, bared its teeth and roared, and rushed towards the head of the bodyguard.

This shot may have hit the main artery of the leg, blood gushed out, and a pack of wolves was born from the pool of blood continuously, and their minions rushed towards the living people in the field ferociously.

The bodyguards screamed, and they didn't have time to think about what was going on in the weird scene before them, they just kept shooting.However, bullets seem to have no effect on these strange beasts. They seem to be a dangerous liquid that can change shape at will, and they are like a materialized nightmare.

The bodyguards had to throw away their guns and start a horrifying and desperate hand-to-hand fight with the scarlet wolves.

+ + + + + +

Bai Yuan stood under the tree in the atrium, glanced indifferently at the hallucinated bodyguards who were attacking each other, then turned and walked towards the gate.

After starting the car, he found that there was an extra person in the passenger seat.

An Yixin was sitting with her back straight, her graceful calves and stiletto shoes exposed under her knee-length skirt, and she was watching him from the side, like a cold machine with only a human figure.

"You know you can't go, right, like a puppy in a trap, it's useless to show your teeth and claws." She said.

Bai Yuan took a deep breath, closed his eyes and opened them quickly.

An Yixin was gone.

He was the only one in the car, what happened just now was a hallucination.

Unlike the bodyguards who were affected by the power of his left eye, this hallucination and auditory hallucination directly acted on the brain nerves, more like a fake pulse signal, which was received by the brain and believed to be true.Bai Yuan was alert to himself, he had to be tense all the time, and from the thoughts that kept popping up in his head, he could accurately distinguish which ones were truly voluntary and which ones were thought-controlled.

——Go to the general aviation company to rent a small business jet, and return to City F immediately. Wei Lin is still waiting for me, he thought.

——An Yixin must be "Ms. Gaia". He finally got clues from the mysterious organization, so he couldn't let it go. He had to find a breakthrough from her, he thought.

——Call Wei Lin and tell Wei Lin about it.Let Linlin come over too, so as to avoid the tracking of the treatment center and deal with An Yixin together, he thought.

Bai Yuan took out the phone from his pocket, pressed the shortcut key, and within half a second of dialing the number, he cut it off again.

He was holding the phone tightly, with a stern expression, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed——

which one?Which one is my real thought?

+ + + + + +

Wei Lin was lying on the newly laid spare sheets, tossing and turning, still not sleepy.

Sleep was like a lost life, and he gradually got used to it, sat up resignedly, and leaned towards the bedside table.As soon as he moved his fingers, he remembered that the group photo and diary were brought to Baiyuan's villa by him before, and locked in the drawer of the guest room.

He sighed with regret, got up, put on his coat and pants, and grabbed his cell phone and car keys.

Standing at the entrance and looking at the wall clock, at 3:20 in the morning, he hesitated for a moment, and several thoughts popped into his mind at the same time:

——Go to Bai Yuan's villa and get the diary back first, maybe there are some important clues left in it, which were neglected by them before.And it was Xu Mu's relic after all, he had to bring it with him.

——Let’s go back to the treatment center at night, I don’t know how Yan Yujiu and Ye Hanlu are doing, and whether they are in danger.Perhaps the old electrode compartment can be used to re-enter Qin Hengyun's "absolute domain" and drag other colleagues out.People come out first, in the real world, the impact of brain control seems to be much smaller.

—Starting with McLeo.This guy is stern and soft-hearted, and with some special means, he will definitely be able to ask something, and he knows his home address, so he should sleep at home during this period of time.

Where are you going now?do what?

For the first time, Wei Lin felt that his head was a little confused, and he couldn't make up his mind.

He suddenly woke up—what was he doing?He has never been a person who looks forward and backward!No matter how critical the situation is, he can plan calmly, calculate accurately, and make a decisive decision. Why is he hesitating now?

Wei Lin put down his phone and keys, went into the bathroom, poured a basin of cold water, and buried his face in it.

Bubbles swayed up from the bottom of the basin and burst one by one on the water surface, making a slight sound.

Across the water waves, the world is far outside, noisy and false, and he is alone inside, desolate and silent, without any worries or concealments.His heart and mind were laid out naked in front of him.

The pain of lack of oxygen began to swell in his chest, like countless knives piercing the lung duct, Wei Lin still buried his head in the water quietly.

Time passed by every minute... Amid the sound of the water, he suddenly raised his face, the water droplets arced in the air, and the wet forehead dripped down, wet the collar.

You know what to do and trust your own judgment.He stared at the figure in the mirror, wiped away the water stains on his face, turned and walked out of the bathroom.

Back at the entrance, Wei Lin took out his mobile phone and glanced at the screen expectantly—the newly bought two unregistered mobile phone cards, the numbers of which were only known to him and Bai Yuan—but there was no incoming call, not even a message.

He thought for a while, and sent a short message: "How are you?"

+ + + + + +

Bai Yuan clutched the phone tightly, with a stern expression, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed.

At this moment, the screen lights up, and a text message pops up:

"well?"

Bai Yuan looked at these two words and a punctuation mark, and his restless mood inexplicably settled down.He rubbed the message with his fingertips, as if rubbing another man's smooth, soft short hair, and narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

Then I replied: "Ann. Return now."

After two seconds, the screen popped up: "Wait for you [meme da]"

The last emoji pouting for a kiss made Bai Yuan smile, and the corners of his mouth curled up with an unconcealable joy.

He turned the car around without hesitation, left the Bai family's old house, stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the airport, while calling the general aviation company's 24-hour customer service number.

+ + + + + +

"Ann. Return now."

After receiving the other party's reply, Wei Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He estimated that Bai Yuan would arrive in City F after dawn, and he would see him at ninety o'clock at most.

Why did you want to leave here just now?Didn't you agree to wait for Bai Yuan to come back?Whether it's the villa, Mike Liu's house, or the treatment center, there may be enemies waiting, and this is the safe place for now.

Wei Lin waved away the water droplets rolling down the corner of his eyes, reconfirmed his true thoughts, and a fact that he must face up to and be vigilant at all times: his brain will deceive him and frame him.

Those programmed pulse signals will disguise as his thinking, drill into the nerves everywhere, and reach into the sharp claws, trying to drag him into the abyss.

——Is Bai Yuan also facing the same predicament?

So they have to join as soon as possible.As long as Bai Yuan is by his side, his heart will suddenly feel at ease.Based on their understanding of each other, once they find something wrong with each other, they can immediately stop and awaken it.

Every second of their separation is filled with precarious danger and...anxious longing.

+ + + + + +

The car was speeding on the dark and empty road, Bai Yuan looked at the chasing vehicles and gunfire from the rearview mirror, his gaze was stern.

"You think you can escape?" An Yixin appeared in the back seat this time, her voice still sounded like a machine running smoothly, "No one can escape, neither you nor Wei Lin."

Bai Yuan turned a blind eye to the intruder in his head, and did not hear it.

An Yixin continued: "The most correct destination is to return to the electrode cabin, return to the 'Jedi Domain', where you can call the wind and rain and be omnipotent. Instead of being in a desperate situation outside, being hunted down and killed."

She paused for a moment, her voice raised twice in a planned way: "Do you know what Wei Lin is doing now?"

The fingertips of Bai Yuan's hand on the steering wheel trembled imperceptibly.

"People from the center have been searching for him. And here," An Yixin tapped his temple, "the brain is the most dangerous inner response, and he will be exposed soon."

"...Shut up." Bai Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, "Get out of my mind!"

An Yixin suddenly smiled.A very stylized smile, like a holographic projection of the anthropomorphic image of the light brain "Tianji" - when there is a need for a visit or an inspection, it will appear in the computer room as a middle-aged man in a white coat, as if he is an amiable scientist ——Now it uses the image of "An Yixin" to invade Bai Yuan's brain nerves.

"You can't get rid of me," it said slowly, "you—all of you."

The figure disappeared.

But Bai Yuan knew that it was still there, in the deepest part of his brain—the place that only the true creator could create and change, but was touched, explored and controlled by human beings with rapidly developing technology.

Bai Yuan pursed the corners of his mouth, and slammed the steering wheel with both hands, the car body flung out a long and sharp corner.

A fire bomb fired from behind hit the road and exploded.

The car driven by Bai Yuan broke through the flames and sped fast.Countless bullets hit the trunk and the door, making aggressive noises, and the body was immediately riddled with bullet holes.The rear windshield shattered with a bang, Bai Yuan tilted his head, and the splashed glass edged past his ears.

On the mobile phone holder in the car, the screen displays the confirmation message from the general aviation company, and the electronic female voice automatically plays: "Dear platinum user, Mr. Bai Yuan, the 'Ocean Current G550' business jet you reserved is ready to take off at Yunling Airport. Please go to T10 VIP boarding gate, JTG thank you for your kindness to our company, and look forward to your visit.”

The electronic female voice is engulfed in the hail of bullets, which sounds illusory and unclear.The headlights of the car illuminated a whole row of roadblocks in front of them. The copper walls and iron walls blocked the road tightly, and the automatic retractable roadblock nails on the ground reflected light heavily.Behind the barricades, security guards hired from private security consultants are fully armed and ready.

Can't make it through... Bai Yuan judged, but still desperately stepped on the accelerator.

Must rush over, someone is still waiting for him.

The car body suddenly shook violently, and the rear tire was exploded by a bullet.Bai Yuan gritted his teeth and slammed the front of the car into the roadblock, like a sharp sword piercing the enemy's formation.

Looking at the oncoming vehicles, the security guards gave way to both sides.Bai Yuan slammed open the car door, flew towards one of them, rolled and subdued him with his bare hands, and disarmed him.

Shooting at close range is easy to accidentally injure. The security guards rushed over to capture the target alive, but suddenly froze after a few seconds.

Bai Yuan covered his left eye—it had used the mass hallucinogenic power twice in a short period of time, and now it was burning like pain, sending out an overload warning—he got up with his gun, and crawled into the side of the roadblock where the security guards stopped The vehicle on board continued to speed towards the airport.

Behind him, the group of security guards manipulated by hallucinations fought hard to hold the pass, delaying him for a short precious time.

At 05:30 in the morning, the long night of late autumn is not over, and the sky is faintly oozing out of the dark blue dawn.

Wei Lin sat on the edge of the bed holding his phone, looking at the screen from time to time.

Since the last one, there is no more news.Half an hour ago, he guessed that Bai Yuan might be on the plane and it was not appropriate to use his mobile phone.Now he thought the plane might still be in the sky, but it should be about to land.

Do you want to send a text message to Bai Yuan, so that he can see it and reply when he gets off the phone?

Wei Lin smiled self-deprecatingly—when did he become so procrastinated and worried?

Well, this idea is definitely not his own will.

He got up, intending to go to the kitchen to cook another pack of instant noodles.

The water was already boiling, and the pancakes and condiments were floating up and down in the pot. Wei Lin casually looked out through the screen window, and suddenly narrowed his eyes guardedly.

He put down the egg in his hand, turned off the natural gas stove, walked to the big bed in the room, lifted the cover, unlocked the lock, and pushed the bed up.

The hydraulic spring makes the bed board continue to open automatically, revealing a bed full of firearms and ammunition.

All kinds of hot and cold weapons spread out in front of Wei Lin.They retired and hid here deeply, thinking that since Xu Mu's death there would be no use for them, unexpectedly they finally reappeared at this moment.
