Delusion Master

The door of the electrode hatch slowly opened, and Wei Lin heard the voice of monitor Teng Rui sighing in the confusion of waking up from a big dream: "...This mission is so difficult? It took three days and three nights to come out!"

Another female monitor said: "Speaking of it, the therapists are really harder than us. We can still hand over the liner for one round. They can't come out unless they complete the task. There is also the danger of falling consciousness... Well, I admit now that they really should. Take five times our wages."

Wei Lin crawled out of the cabin limply, feeling that he didn't even have the strength to do stretching exercises for the first time.

The electrode cabin can make the consciousness of the delusion breaker enter the "absolute domain", the body is in a state of near hibernation, and consumes very little energy, but no matter how little the energy is consumed, it will not be able to withstand the long delay of time.What's more, the body's muscles and joints have remained static for dozens of hours, and when they move all of a sudden, the soreness and numbness is really unbearable.

"...Don't patronize chatting with you, hurry up and help me." He moaned and ordered like an old man in his seventies and eighties.

As a result, before the monitors had time to come over, someone had already stepped forward to support him, one hand wrapped his arm around his shoulder, and the other hand rested on his waist.

This time not only Teng Rui, but everyone in the treatment room's eyes would drop: "——Bai Yuan!"

Bai Yuan, an industry elite who has always been cold, arrogant and solitary, would take the initiative to help his arch-rival Wei Lin, who had been fighting with him all day long?Even if they heard that their relationship had eased up a little after their partner completed the mission last time, it still wouldn't leap to the level of good friends!

If this had been placed two weeks ago in real time, Wei Lin would have thought in disbelief: This fellow Bai Yuan is insane!Oh my god, it's terrible, someone hurry up and take him to the hospital!But right now, he just drooped his eyelids, leaned against Bai Yuan naturally, and complained listlessly: "I'm hungry, my stomach is going to be starved! This task is too exhausting, I'm going to have a big meal if I don't care about it... Instead of going to the unit canteen, go out for a big meal!"

Bai Yuan originally thought that he often complained and complained, and was very noisy, but now he could hear the elements of trust and coquettishness in it, and at the same time he felt distressed, and at the same time, he was very unbelievable about his past disgust: He is so cute, he is so cute like a purring Like a cat begging for food, why did I bother him before?It's really inexplicable.

So with a compassionate and compensatory attitude, Mr. Bai replied with the utmost gentleness: "Don't eat suddenly on an empty stomach, drink a glass of milk to buffer it first, and I'll heat it up for you."

With a "crack", the coffee cup in Teng Rui's hand fell to the ground, breaking into a dozen pieces like his broken worldview.He began to suspect that his previous memories came from another distorted time and space, or that everything in front of him was an illusion. In fact, he was the patient who was addicted to the delusional world and needed to be treated.

"You, you..." He looked at the other colleagues as if asking for proof, and saw the shocked expressions on several dull faces, and then he recovered from the sudden panic—the problem was not he himself!He is not a delusional patient, but the two enemies in front of him changed their sex "after sleeping"!

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and murmured: "I was scared to death...I said you two—"

Bai Yuan didn't even bother to pay attention to the idle people in the room, Wei Lin waved his hand casually at him to show "Let's talk later", and the two went out shoulder to shoulder, shocking the world.

After drinking a cup of hot milk to pad his stomach, Wei Lin felt that he was alive again, he let out a long breath, and thought of Professor Cheng who was in another treatment room: "Mr. Cheng should wake up, shall we go and visit? "

Bai Yuan nodded and went with him.

Professor Cheng Lixin was lying on the hospital bed, and two rehabilitation workers massaged his whole body. When he saw the two people coming in, he was surprised for a moment, and then laughed: "Boys! I thought it was like a dream before, and when I woke up, I found that Those in the dream are all subconscious projections of my excessive worries, only the images of you two are extraordinarily clear and unique, so that we cannot confuse you with other fantasy characters."

Wei Lin walked to his bed, dragged a round stool to sit down, and said with a smile: "We just accept these as praises. Speaking of which, this is also a mission that impressed me deeply, and it appeared in your spiritual world Those people you met may not all be your fantasy, many of them are acquaintances whose identities have been distorted in the real world, or strangers who caught a glimpse. You know, we met at the gate of the 'Doomsday Dome' Who is the leader of the organization who came to intercept and kill?"

Without waiting for Professor Cheng to answer, he took out a copy of the newspaper news from the folder containing the patient's relevant information, and clicked on the photo on it.In the photo, Professor Cheng is surrounded by a group of security personnel and reporters, shaking hands with a Caucasian man in his 50s with gray hair and blue eyes.

Cheng Lixin came to a sudden: "Andre, the largest foreign sponsor of the ancient virus gene research project." He took the materials and sat up, asked the rehabilitation staff to avoid first, and then analyzed: "This research project was established more than half a year ago, because Its groundbreaking significance and foreseeable results, and it has the support of the state and the investment of some bio companies. Believe me, we are very careful, walking on eggshells, not as stupid, random and random as you see in my mind. Regardless of the consequences."

Wei Lin interface: "However, you still have deep concerns about this. Although you have devoted yourself to this research, deep down in your heart, you are concerned about its hidden dangers and possible vicious consequences—— Even if there is only one ten-thousandth probability—you still feel guilty and blame yourself, and you can’t sleep or eat. So in your delusion, this hidden danger is accelerated and magnified many times, and it becomes a disaster that wipes out the world.”

Professor Cheng was silent, and said after a long time: "Scientific research has always been a double-edged sword."

"To be honest, you not only woke up from the coma, but also took the initiative to get rid of delusions. The clarity and determination of this kind of thinking made me and Bai Yuan a little unexpected." Wei Lin thought for a while and asked again, " Then in the future, will the research of this project continue?"

A look of embarrassment flashed across Professor Cheng's eyes, and he pondered: "It's hard to say, once a large-scale scientific research project is launched, there are too many aspects involved. It is difficult for me to use my unfounded delusions to persuade the relevant departments to give up the previous conception and investment."

Wei Lin and Bai Yuan looked at each other, feeling helpless.

But Professor Cheng suddenly showed a mischievous look like an old urchin, and beckoned them to get closer.

The two leaned over and heard him lower his voice and say, "I can't make decisions for others, but I can make decisions for myself. I'm old and sick, and I can't concentrate on work. I need to find a place to rest for a while. You guys The work report has the same professionalism and reference value as the hospital's inspection report, can you open a back door for me?"

Wei Lin smiled "puchi" and said: "If you, the backbone, withdraw from your illness and hide the core technology, this project may be temporarily shelved. When the sponsors can't stand it and withdraw their funding, it is estimated that 'for the time being' ’ becomes ‘nowhere in sight’.”

Professor Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said approvingly, "The young man is really smart."

"After all, it's a career you love. If you give it up, you don't regret it, don't you regret it?" Bai Yuan said indifferently.

Professor Cheng sighed: "How can I not regret it! But people always have to make a choice. Decades ago, I gave up a budding relationship in order to study abroad; One's disaster, give up this project that has invested countless efforts. Life is like this, full of fork roads that make you in a dilemma, but once you make a choice according to the voice deep in your heart, you should go on with perseverance and never give up. No regrets."

Bai Yuan chewed and chewed his last words in his heart, and tightened his thin lips.

Wei Lin said sincerely: "Old man, you are not only a great scientist, but also a wise man worthy of our admiration. Thank you for your advice."

Professor Cheng waved his hands with a smile: "I should thank you. I have been depressed and depressed for a long time. It is you who make me feel relaxed, whether it is in a dream or in reality. Now I have another request to you. "

"Please speak."

"When I find a recuperating place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and send you postcards, can you send me a long letter back? Especially Xiaowei, you have a good joke, write me more."

Wei Lin laughed a little embarrassedly: "Haha, no problem."

After leaving the treatment room, Wei Lin thought that Bai Yuan was going back to the office to write a work report, but he turned a corner and went to the parking lot.

"Why, you're going back, won't you write the report with me?" he asked.

Bai Yuan stopped, looked back at Wei Lin who hadn't reacted yet, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Go eat a big meal, I treat you. Are you going?"

"Go!" Wei Lin immediately nodded like chicken pecking rice, "The sun is coming out from the west, and Bai Xiansen treats you! Just ignore his work report and talk about it after eating! I don't bother to go back to see Mike Liu, just slip away like this, besides, he is not He also promised us a three-day vacation. By the way, where are we going to eat?"

Bai Yuan said, "Just follow me."

The two drove out the gate of the treatment center in tandem and sped away under the clear autumn sky at 04:30 in the afternoon.

Bai Yuan chose a cafeteria in the center of the city, with Japanese food, French food, Chinese food, special pastries, and imported cold drinks. The price per person is 998 yuan.

Wei Lin was startled when he saw the price list: "1000 yuan buffet?" He only ate 168 yuan, so he chose lunch because the same dishes cost 30 yuan more at night.

Bai Yuanhui misunderstood: "Indeed, the grade is a bit low. Because I asked you what you want to eat before, and you can eat whatever you say. I can't be sure about your taste, so I can only try the buffet first. How about another one?"

"No, no, no!" Wei Lin said as he strode in, muttering in his mouth: This is still considered low-grade, Bai Xiansen is really a local tyrant. 1000 yuan buffet!I'll have to pick something to get Ben back...

As soon as the two of them reached the cashier at the entrance, Wei Lin's cell phone rang.

He took out his mobile phone and saw the words "Li Minxing" on the screen. He couldn't help being a little surprised: Although he and Li Minxing had exchanged mobile phone numbers after the last mission, half a month had passed and they had never contacted each other. , Why did you suddenly call him right now?

"That... Wei Lin?" Li Minxing's anxious voice came out, "Are you and Bai Yuan free?"

"Well, we're outside and are about to enter the restaurant for dinner." Wei Lin said.

"That's just right, you haven't entered the store yet? Don't enter yet, I'll treat you to dinner. The seafood hot pot restaurant opened by my relatives is all freshly shipped from fishing boats by the sea. It's guaranteed to be fresh and clean. Come on Hurry up, I've already ordered a bunch of seafood, as well as drinks, and I'll wait for you to take a look and order anything you like. Be sure to come, I'll be right here waiting for you, see you soon!" Li Minxing said , reported an address, and quickly hung up the call as if they were afraid they would refuse.

Wei Lin laughed: "What's wrong with Li Minxing, he insists on treating us to dinner, and he's still flustered."

Bai Yuan's plan was disturbed, and he was a little unhappy: "Nothing to show courteousness, either adultery or robbery."

Wei Lin pinched his phone and looked at his partner innocently: "What should I do... I want to eat seafood hot pot more than buffet. You don't like seafood hot pot?"

Bai Yuan immediately changed his words and said: "Go if you want to eat, anyway, it's his kindness. Is it far away?"

"It's not far, I can bear it." Wei Lin hooked his shoulders happily and took it out, "Now is the season for eating seafood, let me tell you, the crabs in September and October are fat, red paste yellow paste Can push out from the umbilicus..."
