please don't believe me

The black car stopped in front of the office building of "Xi Rui Jia Pharmaceutical", and Dai Bowen and Ivan got out of the car.

Near the green belt outside the office center, several people were sitting on benches to rest.Ivan noticed that they were volunteers who had met several times, so he nodded towards them.

Those volunteers seemed to want to come and talk to Ivan, but Ivan was quickly taken away by Dai Bowen.

They step into the hall.

Different from the previous two months, there are no longer two beautiful girls sitting at the front desk, the company name and logo on the background lighting board have been removed, and the large and small screens that scroll the promotional videos are missing.Not only that, the escalator has been out of service, and the greenery, sofas, office supplies, etc. seem to have disappeared. Only a figure in ordinary clothes occasionally flashes past the second floor.

The entire office center has become empty, cold, and no longer vibrant.

Ivan was stunned the moment he entered here: "This is..."

"I'm about to tell you." Dai Bowen pulled him to the other side, "Come with me."

They walked into an elevator, and Ivan no longer hesitated.While closing the elevator door, Dai Bowen smiled and praised: "Every time I see your amazing performance, I feel that the two months of 'Siriga''s existence are worth it."

Ivan frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Dai Bowen smiled without answering, the elevator was going straight up.This is a high-rise elevator, the speed is very fast, and the door opens with a ding sound after a while.

On the top floor of the office center, the surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows provide a high-level view.Since no company has settled in yet, only basic carpets are laid here, and it looks very open and empty.

Dai Bowen brought Ivan to the window.In the huge space, there are only the two of them—if you don't count the surveillance cameras hidden in the corner.

The two stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, with the sky and the city in the background. This picture looked like a film and television scene.But Ivan was not in the mood to overlook the city. With his hands in his pockets, he frowned and said, "What do you want to tell me?"

"Before answering this question, I want to confirm one thing with you." Dai Bowen also put his pockets in his pockets, but his expression looked relaxed and confident, "Think about your performance when you came in, think about how you just got out of the elevator ...Do you think, 'Romainting' is effective?"

Ivan stared at him.This question made his expression instantly serious, as if he met Dai Bowen for the first time more than two months ago.

Dai Bowen smiled: "Then let me ask this question, if someone came to ask you whether 'Romantin' is useful and worth taking, how would you answer?"

Ivan was silent for a while: "I will say, 'Romantin' really worked for me."

Dai Bowen raised his eyebrows, as if he was waiting for his next words.

"As long as I take it, it seems that the closed space can no longer pose a threat to me, and nothing can even scare me." Ivan twitched his lips, "I have to admit that I was also stagnant in the work of the art exhibition, but' Romantin' got me up to the challenge."

"Wow, I don't know about this, it sounds amazing." Dai Bowen laughed, then glanced out of the window, and then turned his gaze back to Ivan, "I...haven't told you something yet .”

Ivan's heart skipped a beat.

"I have some 'Romantin' here." Dai Bowen took out a medicine box from his pocket.It was no different from what Ivan and other volunteers got, a row of seven small boxes with four blue capsules in each box.

Dai Bowen took out a capsule and slowly unscrewed it: "Actually, 'Romantin'...is just a placebo."

Ivan looked at him.

Dai Bowen poured the powder into his palm, rubbed a little with his fingertips and licked it: "It's just some sugar."

He stretched out his palm to Ivan, and Ivan unconsciously touched it and licked it.

The sweetness of glucose spreads in the mouth.

"Professor Gray is just cooperating with the show. 'Sirriga Pharmaceuticals' is a lie." Dai Bowen shook the pill box, "It's all fake."

"'Romainting' has no ability to overcome any emotion or thought.

"It is not it that overcomes everything, but yourself."

Dai Bowen took out a wet tissue and wiped off the powdered sugar on his hands.

Ivan looked at his movements, unexpectedly calm: "You mean, all this is a lie to me?"

"Yes." Dai Bowen smiled, "The reason you did all this is because you thought you were ready and persisted, and then you overcame your fear. You don't need 'Romanting', you It's all on your own."

Ivan was silent for a few seconds, and replied in a low voice: "If possible, I really hope that what you said was a joke."

"No, this is not a joke. You understand, don't you?" Dai Bowen looked out the window, "I know that the art exhibition is a huge challenge for you, but you have overcome your fear, so what else is there to be afraid of?"

Ivan also looked out the window, and after a while, he smiled: "Well, I have another question.

"What is your real identity?"

The elevator stopped on the second floor, and Dai Bowen and Ivan walked out.

Dai Bowen smiled at Ivan: "How do you feel?"

Ivan raised his eyebrows, wiped his face and said, "I'm still a little dizzy, all of this..."

The scientific researchers who came and went disappeared, the papers were scattered on the ground, and some cardboard boxes that had not been removed were placed randomly.People went to the empty office center, which made Ivan have to believe Dai Bowen's words.

"It doesn't matter if you get sick from the elevator." Dai Bowen led him through the empty corridor, then stood still in front of a door, and pushed it away, "Come on."

This is a small meeting room. When Ivan came to this office center for the first time, he watched the commentary video about "Romantin" here.Now, the tables and chairs in this meeting room have been basically emptied, and several groups of volunteers are standing in the open space.Professor Gray stood at the front, facing everyone, and a huge "Romantin" was projected on the big screen behind him.

"'Romaintine' is just a placebo."

Professor Gray is also explaining the truth of the experiment: "It's just a powdered sugar, it doesn't have any effect.

"It works because you believe it will work, that it will solve your problems. And then you take it, and you stick with it, and make it look okay. Then you end up thinking, it does. Very effective.

"But in fact, it is you who have the effect."

There was a small commotion among the volunteers, and disbelief was written all over their faces, plus a little bit of faint joy.Ivan stood beside the volunteers, and on the other side was Dai Bowen.

Professor Gray's words are not over: "We have been emphasizing the role of 'Romantin', and now you know why. You have broadened your thinking and understood how to overcome difficulties, and you no longer need these red and blue capsules .

"'Romainting' doesn't exist."

Following the professor's speech, the "RUMYODIN" subtitles on the screen spread out and changed positions back and forth, forming a phrase again.

"'Roman Erding (RUMYODIN)' means 'your heart (YOURMIND)'."

As long as you have courage in your heart and persistence in your heart, you can overcome all fears.

The volunteers couldn't help applauding, and Ivan, infected, also clapped.He glanced at Dai Bowen who was standing beside him, and finally showed a real smile.

【The main quest of "Universal Medicine" is completed! 】

Weiss House, Stuttgart Study.

"The main mission is completed?"

Shen Xiuyuan lit a cigar and threw the lighter on the table: "Romandin (RUMYODIN)" is "your heart (YOURMIND)" in reverse order, and "ESPNOWVIP" is "diamonds three (DIAMONDS3)" , it’s all word games, huh?”

Dai Bowen laughed and said, "It's just 'visual image persuasion', big boss."

Shen Xiuyuan smoked a cigar and looked up at him: "No wonder you dare to come to me so grandly."

Dai Bowen shrugged: "Don't exaggerate, Ivan isn't home either."

Shen Xiuyuan smiled: "He knows your real identity, so he didn't lose his temper?"

Dai Bowen said helplessly: "Don't mention this, okay?"

As soon as I heard that he was a director, Ivan immediately wanted to look for his films to watch with great interest, and he persuaded him by trying to talk.But this young man doesn't mention it on the surface now, who knows if he read it in private.

Anyway, it's just some small-budget movies, for a living, and the task is done, so let him go.

"Okay." Shen Xiuyuan took a puff of smoke slowly, "Then tell me, you've already completed the task, so what are you still doing?"

"I stayed here for you." Dai Bowen leaned against the back of the chair, showing no image, "Your dinner party will be held the night after tomorrow, how can I not watch it for you?"

He would say such words, but he had to say that he was influenced by his assistant Mortis, and he opened his mouth with ambiguous sentences.

"You're gone, I can let go of my hands and feet." Shen Xiuyuan will not inexplicably bear a debt of favor, "Now that you don't leave, I have to take care of protecting you."

"Don't make it seem like I'm going to die, okay?" Dai Bowen replied, "And I've already completed the task. Director Bandele will die if he dies. Are you still trying to protect me?"

Shen Xiuyuan glanced at him, as if asking "what nonsense are you talking about".

Dai Bowen coughed lightly: "Okay, I admit, I haven't completed the side mission, and I want to rub it a little longer."

"This seems to be the truth." Shen Xiuyuan flicked on the cigar, "How long can I stay?"

Dai Bowen replied: "Up to 72 hours..."

"Enough." Shen Xiuyuan said, "You can also come to the dinner party the day after tomorrow."

Dai Bowen said helplessly: "Although I'm not afraid of death, I don't want to feel the feeling of being killed. I just want to complete the side mission..."

Shen Xiuyuan glanced at him: "Shen Yuyao shot me, it's still fresh in my memory..."

Dai Bowen was choked immediately.Although Shen Xiuyuan doesn't care much about the past, he really likes to mention it.

Shen Xiuyuan said again: "Or, are you just in a hurry to be your branch line that night?"

Dai Bowen said helplessly: "It's not..."

"Then it's settled, you come to the dinner." Shen Xiuyuan paused, and then added, "It really doesn't feel good to be attacked, and I will try my best to keep you safe."

——Inexplicable little theater——

Dai Bowen: The main line is complete!Specialize in branches!

Shen Xiuyuan: Your main story line is finished, it's time to concentrate on helping me.
