don't open your eyes [unlimited]

Z1 and his teammates turned their heads in astonishment.

Of all of them, the most incredible is the Z1.

He had already realized what this code name meant before the other three, and confirmed his suspicion in an instant.

It's not that he doesn't recognize Ling Su's strength... After all the experiences in this dream, if Z1 can't guess that Ling Su must have served as a pioneer, he should be completely expelled from the first-level task force Team up.

However, the code name given by the cocoon breaker was too unbelievable. Even though he was mentally prepared, Z1 and several teammates still stood there dumbfounded.

"You didn't tell him that?"

The cocoon breaker was also stunned, and looked back at Z1: "I'm sorry, I thought that level [-] taskers are usually more... arrogant, and won't cooperate with your actions so easily."

The near-death dream realm is very closed. Due to the shielding interference in the dream realm and the fact that non-key memories will not be uploaded, he also has no way of knowing what Ling Su said to Z1 during those times.

In fact, except for the case where Ling Su revealed the code name and identity at the showdown... the cocoon breaker really can't figure out why Z1 is willing to use that shape to drag the sled, chasing the banana tied on the rope. 45 minutes on the rails.

"Actually, it's okay to tell him. Your identity doesn't have to be kept secret."

The Cocoon Breaker said, "After all you—"

In the middle of speaking, his mouth under the mask suddenly closed together as if being zipped shut.

Before he had time to react, the cocoon breaker had already stood at attention involuntarily, and closed his mouth firmly: "..."

There was a ding-dong in the background of Z1, and an internal communication with a hidden special mark popped up.

[Did he not tell Mr. Zhuang? 】

Z1 hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and after a few seconds of reaction, he looked at the cocoon breaker and shook his head hesitantly.

……

Ling Su sat up with one hand propped up.

There was nothing unusual about his expression, but his shoulders and back were unconsciously tensed, looking at the little curly with rounded eyes.

This development was somewhat beyond his expectation, Ling Su looked away, looked around anxiously, raised his hand and rubbed his neck vigorously twice.

Strictly speaking...it's not a big deal.

He just selectively kept some of the facts and didn't tell them. Just like what the cocoon breaker said, these things don't have to be kept secret, and there's no need to cover them up.

The reason why I didn't tell anyone, including Zhuang Die, was because Ling Su didn't want to mention it.

This feeling is actually a bit strange to him, but fortunately their memories from the last dream are still there, and a young and promising professional liar can also be used as the words-"Because they are indeed seriously planning to share a relationship with you." Your life and future, when I look at you, any concealment or secret that I forget to confess will make me feel uneasy as if I have committed a crime."

Ling Su felt that it was necessary for him to get out an excerpt and write down all the useful content while his memory was still vivid enough.

He closed his eyes and shook his head, wondering if it was due to the adrenaline, the aftereffect of dizziness from excessive use of the brain seemed to have eased a little.

"I've been retired... a long time ago, they have a short career life in this line of work."

Ling Su specifically emphasized: "I have not been in touch with them for a long time, and all my internal communication friends have been deleted."

The cocoon breaker standing at attention with his mouth closed: "..."

What Ling Su said was true—if it wasn’t for the fact that none of the high-level executives at the headquarters could contact S0, there was no need to ask him to come and send these two invitations in this primitive way under the current level of technology. .

Ling Su sat up straight without any trace, he concealed his nervousness by adjusting his breathing well, and raised his hand to rub Zhuang Die's hair.

"Little Curly?" Ling Su tentatively said softly, "Don't worry about them. If you want to go back, we'll just—"

Zhuang Die punched his palm: "Captain, that's how you got your name!"

Ling Su paused.

He held Zhuang Die's arm, opened his mouth in a daze, and suddenly rubbed his hair and laughed dumbly: "...Yes."

Ling Su was completely relieved, and pulled the little curly hair back into his arms, shaking it back and forth gently.

"That's how it came about... I was in a hurry to retire, so I asked 'cocoon' to help me get one."

He patiently explained in a low voice: "As long as the code name can be replaced, it sounds like a personal name. I thought this name was quite common at the time..."

The tradition of "cocoon" transliterating notes with code names has a long history, but it was only after this large-scale replacement of the numbering system that it was widely applied to every person directly under the task.

When he first got this new name, Ling Su didn't know how to cherish it. He thought it was just a good name for ordinary people, as long as it could be used.

——It wasn’t until after countless beatings in lottery draws and seeing D2 that was transliterated as a double egg that Ling Su vaguely realized that he might have so easily ignored the moment when his luck exploded for the second time in his entire life...

"Very nice." Zhuang Die gave a very serious evaluation, "Captain, I like this name."

Ling Su's breathing paused, and his palm was pressed against the back of Zhuang Die's head, and those naughty little wool rolls slid back and forth between his fingers.

With Little Curly's brain power and thinking speed, it was impossible to just figure out such a simple question during the period of silence.

Zhuang Die obviously thought about many things, and ruled out the need for them to be brought up and asked one by one.Ling Su didn't know what criteria Zhuang Die used to screen and exclude them, but there was no doubt that the question the other party finally chose to ask was his favorite one.

"I like the name too."

Ling Su closed his eyes, lowered his head and gently touched those soft hairs with his lips: "I found you with this name and brought you home."

Zhuang Die hugged him back, and slowly stroked Ling Su's back one after another.

He learned everything quickly, and the strength in his hands was a bit jerky at first, but later became proficient and gentle.

Zhuang Die supported Ling Su's head with both hands, let him lean on his shoulders, and rubbed his temples for him.

The blood vessels below were pulsating slightly against Zhuang Die's fingertips. Ling Su should be suffering from a severe headache now, but he didn't notice it at all.

Ling Su leaned against him motionless, his unconsciously tense body gradually relaxed, and the warm air gently hit Zhuang Die's neck.

He no longer forcibly controlled his overflowing mental power, the flame that was always burning in his palm was constantly changing its shape, turning into a leaf for a while, a star for a while, and a rose in full bloom... …

……

Several people not far away unanimously opened the backstage.

They were completely cut off from sight - as long as you try to look in the direction of those two people, a loading buffer circle will appear in your field of vision without warning, and sometimes even a few extremely realistic pop-up advertisements will pop up .

Except for the mission video, Z1's teammates haven't dealt with Ling Su seriously yet.It wasn't until this time that they finally intuitively realized Ling Su's ability in cognitive adjustment.

The three of them were shocked, and quickly sent messages in the temporary chat group, discussing how high a score this level of visual barrier could get in the assessment.

As the topic got further and further away, it returned to Ling Su himself.

"Speaking of which, why did Captain Ling change his name? Does anyone know what his original name was?"

Z1's teammates had wanted to ask this question for a long time, and when they found that the screen was empty, they immediately typed into the dialog box and sent it out.

They just transliterated the code name, so naturally it should be called whatever it should be in reality.But Ling Su seems to have directly used this as his real name.

Even the person in charge of the special incident handling team registered with this name.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, and even the cocoon breaker shook his head.

He also only knows that Ling Su's code name is S-0, which is different from other code names and will never be replaced by a second person.

It will always belong to the original and most capable pioneer, and the issuance of the code name can be traced back to the time when the initial prototype of the "cocoon" was just established.

At that time, everything was very primitive, and most of the functions they were familiar with had not been developed.

No companions, no back office, no headquarters, no one to provide liaison and rescue.

"Excuse me... I have a question."

The hypnotist hesitated for a long time before calling out the dialog box in the background and typing a line.

"May I ask that the real development time of 'Cocoon' is only three months?"

Seeing this question, those direct taskers of different levels stopped and exchanged glances, and then the cocoon breaker sorted out a relatively official answer.

"It's normal to have questions like this."

Obviously, this is not the first time to answer this kind of question. The cocoon breaker copied and pasted the reply quickly and proficiently, and a large paragraph of text jumped out on the screen.

"We must admit that if we start our research purely from scratch, even if we exhaust all of our strength and adjust with the flow of time, it is impossible to build such a comprehensive and complete behemoth within three months."

"The points we can announce and confirm are: Cocoon's current program and hardware system are third-generation, which is stable and reliable enough. It has nothing to do with any conspiracy theory or speculation about premonition or time travel."

"In fact, when the cocoon was originally developed and designed, it was not to deal with the changes in dreams, but had a more practical task in reality."

The hypnotist was stunned for a moment: "What practical task?"

"It's not easy for us to explain to the outside world... But you should be able to guess, Mr. Liu, you should be more familiar with it than us."

The cocoon breaker could see all the contents of the backstage of the hypnotist, and at the first sight of the meeting, he recognized that this was an invitee from the Psychology Association, and he confirmed it even more when the other party took out the crystal ball.

Inviting the psychological association to cooperate is indeed the reason for the need to attract more professionals.

There are many subconscious problems, which may be difficult for taskers like them, but counselors can find a gentler and more effective method.

It's just... Apart from this, there is actually a simpler and more direct reason.

The cocoon breaker smiled: "Is it completely unrecognizable? It seems that the effect of our update iteration is very obvious..."

He noticed that the power to shut himself up disappeared, and the visual barrier on the other side had also been untied, so he turned off the backstage and turned around, looking at Ling Su who was walking over.

The other party's condition was much better than before, and when he led Zhuang Die over together, he had returned to the lazy and relaxed state before.

"I'm sorry." The cocoon breaker looked at Zhuang Die, reassured after confirming that there was no misunderstanding between the two, and apologized to Ling Su, "I shouldn't have said so much."

Ling Su shook his head and twitched the corner of his mouth: "I couldn't control it well."

The cocoon breaker was dumb: "It's not easy to hear you say that."

He suddenly felt a little nostalgic, and couldn't help sighing: "I remember when you trained us, you were as cold as a devil. Every time you asked us to stand on the tip of a needle and lay a hundred eggs with mental strength. Who insists If you stay here, you will be fined to roll out of the sleeping cabin and run a hundred laps around the playground..."

Ling Su: "..."

hypnotist:"……"

The cocoon breaker stopped talking in a daze: "...Did I say the wrong thing again?"

"It's okay." Ling Su patted him on the shoulder kindly, and carried him to the corner, "Go and run a hundred laps."

The cocoon breaker nodded subconsciously: "Oh."

He turned around and took two steps, when he suddenly realized and stopped in time: "S0, I'm here to send you invitations, and I have to take you back."

When retiring from "Cocoon" back then, Ling Su saved a hand and hinted to all of them through the farewell holographic projection video, making everyone forget that there is still S0.

The rumors are not completely inaccurate. Most of the people who survived the pioneering operation have indeed become the top executives of the headquarters.

None of these pioneers, who have gone through a lot of tempering, resisted countless cognitive interferences and invasions, and are wearing cocklebur medals, have ever remembered that they also have a devil captain and instructor code-named S0.

The most troublesome thing is that this suggestion does not cause memory loss, so it is almost impossible to detect any abnormalities.

——They just subconsciously ignore a blurred strange figure every time they rummaged through their memories.

And this kind of cognition of "seemingly ignoring a vague figure" will be ignored by the hint in the subconscious again.

They forgot their captain, and then unconsciously forgot "forgetting the captain".

Even this time someone finally struggled to remember S0, it was because Zhuang Die's upgrade speed was too fast, and as a typical representative of low-level taskers, he attracted the attention of the high-level... When checking whether there is any suspicion of cheating to earn experience contribution points Suddenly, a person stopped, his eyes fixed on Zhuang Die's partner who had never changed.

"They all want me to take you back, just to see you."

The cocoon breaker said: "You give us hints... We are a little angry with you, but only a little. There is always a reason for what you do."

This is the truth, each of them is actually very clear that those cruel trainings are to enable the pioneers to survive one dream after another and return to the real world soberly.

Similarly, those corporal punishments that seem to be called devils are also to exercise their bodies in reality and ensure the fit of consciousness and body.

During the period without the assistance of "cocoon", skills and mental power, everyone can only rely on themselves, and any second of weakness may lead to permanent loss and sleep in the dream realm.

They didn't know why S0 insisted on doing such a thing, why he chose to disappear from everyone's memory, but since the captain decided to do this, there should be a reason for doing so.

The cocoon breaker seized the time and said quickly: "Although everyone complains about you and everyone is tortured to death by you, we really miss you..."

The hypnotist couldn't bear to cover his eyes, and just in time pulled Z1 who was watching the excitement to stand a little farther away.

"I'll go by myself." Ling Su nodded, "I'm not old yet, I still remember the way."

The cocoon breaker's eyes brightened: "Okay... what about me?"

Ling Su patted his shoulder kindly.

He looked back carefully, and after confirming that Xiao Curly's line of sight had been blocked by the hypnotist, he blocked the cocoon breaker's backstage with one hand.

Over the years, the wandering captain also learned new moves.

Recalling Vice Captain Song's standard demonstration, Ling Su raised his leg and kicked the opponent's consciousness out of the subconscious world.
