don't open your eyes [unlimited]

[Identity confirmation, the channel has been opened. 】

[You have selected the emergency mission mode. 】

[It is detected that there are already other taskers in the dream realm, and the task is being merged. The number of team members: 5 people. 】

[Difficulty estimate: A level. 】

[The teleportation point has been determined, start importing, please get ready...]

Probably because the falling asleep process was skipped this time, and when importing, the surrounding scenes were not covered in darkness like before.

Accompanied by the mechanical notification sound of "Cocoon", Zhuang Die and Ling Su were already standing in a dense forest when they regained their mobility.

Song Huaimin was right in front of the two of them.He was in good condition, and he was not injured, but his brows were tightly frowned, and his face was slightly ugly.

It seems that "Cocoon" has already searched for Song Huaimin's location, and for the convenience of the task, they were directly teleported to the same location when importing.

Ling Su and Song Huaimin nodded, and looked not far away.

When importing the dream realm, the mechanical voice gave a reminder, this time the team has a total of five people.

When Ling Su and Zhuang Die were teleported in, they saw the other two taskers standing aside.

Neither was a member of the Special Incident Squad.They wore the same black uniforms, carried at least two types of guns and other weapons, professional goggles and dream communicators.

Ling Su was not surprised, but curious: "Old Song, who are these two?"

Before Song Huaimin could answer, one of the two men had already walked towards Ling Su: "Are you Ling Su?"

Ling Su nodded, and stretched out his hand kindly: "You——"

The man interrupted him directly: "Let's take your people back."

Ling Su slightly raised his eyebrows.

He withdrew his hand, swallowed the rest of the words, and smiled noncommittally.

"This is a task with A-level difficulty, not a trivial matter."

The man glanced at Zhuang Die not far away, and his eyes stopped for a few seconds beside Zhuang Die, as if he was reading Zhuang Die's information through the goggles: "A newcomer has only performed three missions, how dare you Take him into a place like this?"

"He is very strong." Ling Su corrected.

The man seemed to have heard some particularly funny joke, looked Zhuang Die up and down, waved his hand indifferently, and turned back to his companion.

He had already seen that Ling Su was not someone who would leave obediently, so he stopped talking and walked deep into the dense forest with his companions.

"As you please, don't trouble us."

The man said casually: "Anyway, Cocoon has protective measures, and when your lives are in danger, you will also be forcibly withdrawn."

Song Huaimin's face darkened, and he couldn't help but speak, but Ling Su held his arm.

Those two people moved very fast. They obviously had received extremely professional training, and they disappeared into the depths of the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

"Their equipment is quite professional. Even if they can't help, they shouldn't cause us any trouble."

Ling Su looked away. He obviously didn't listen to what the other party said later, and raised his hand to pull Song Huaimin: "Old Song, are you not injured?"

"No." Song Huaimin frowned tightly, and asked in a low voice, "It's you, this is an A-level mission, why did you bring Zhuang Die in?"

Although I dislike the attitude of those two people, the risk of A-level missions is extremely high, Song Huaimin really can't let it go: "How many missions has he been in? There are so many people in the team, don't make it seem like there are only three of us in the whole team." ..."

"Vice-captain." Zhuang Die had just been praised by Ling Su, and he was very confident in himself, "The captain said that I am very strong, and my luck should be very good now."

Song Huaimin didn't understand: "Huh?"

"Me too." Ling Su nodded, "Now is not the time to talk about that."

Ling Su has just penetrated the mystery of character, but now the task is important, so he can only discuss it with the deputy captain after returning to the team.

"Zhuang Die has been writing the report with me, we just rushed over."

Ling Su made a special explanation. He took out two small benches and sat down with Zhuang Die: "Lao Song, you may have to tell us more about the current situation."

……

There were three hostage-takers.

During the surprise arrest, these people and the hostages they held had already entered the dreamland called "Paradise Island".

Compared with conventional kidnapping cases, the circumstances of this case are almost bizarre—the criminal has clearly been arrested, but at the same time he is running wildly at large.They took the consciousness of hostages in order to redeem their bodies.

As for the release of the hostages, the conditions given by these people are also very clear.

The police must withdraw and immediately release their arrested accomplices.

Only after their accomplices take their bodies away and confirm that they are completely safe, will they release the consciousness of the hostages trapped in the dream realm.

If the police still do not respond within 6 hours in the real world, they will randomly "wake up" a hostage.

Once forced to wake up from other people's dreams, in the long reality from now on, the victim will not be able to regain self-awareness, and can only be a puppet with only the ability to act.

"We searched their archives."

Song Huaimin took out a booklet and opened one of the pages: "I found an introduction to the dream realm of 'Paradise Island'."

【Paradise Island】

[This is not heaven, but a prison. 】

[Those who are about to step into this place, give up all hope. 】

[Crying like thunder, the vast cemetery is burning with flames, the valley is full of strong winds, and everywhere is muddy. 】

[There have always been two suns, illuminating two paths respectively. 】

【Remember tonight, because forever starts from tonight. 】

……

"Should have shown this to the parents."

Song Huaimin rubbed his forehead vigorously: "How can this be behavior modification? I read these every day. Is it strange that you don't like horror stories?"

Ling Su seemed to be very interested in this page introduction, read it over and over several times, and handed it to Zhuang Die.

He adjusted his watch: "Old Song, what is the time flow rate between here and outside?"

"4:1." Song Huaimin said, "In terms of conversion, the six hours they require in the real world is one day in the dream."

"By the way, according to their information, this dream is used to exercise the ability to survive. Therefore, the environment on the island is full of dangers, and it is not suitable for survival."

Song Huaimin called up his panel and checked it again: "You better be careful, this island will speed up the consumption of mental power, be careful not to turn around too much."

This is why "Cocoon" will estimate this mission as A-level.

Or use the game as an example:

Entering the ordinary dream realm, the blood bar will only decrease when being attacked, and normal actions will hardly cause any impact.

And in this dream realm they are in, apart from the normal wounded residual blood, from the moment they enter, no matter what they do, the blood bar will drop at a fixed speed.

The reason why the two of them didn't waste much time, and left immediately when they found that Ling Su couldn't make sense, was also to save time as much as possible.

"The two of them are members of the department directly under 'Cocoon'. This mission involves hostages, and the impact is relatively bad, so they are sent to deal with it."

Song Huaimin held back his anger: "Even if you are a professional, what is your attitude?"

He's just the vice captain, so it's okay to ignore those two.But in the face of Ling Su, who is the captain, the other party still showed a disapproving and arrogant attitude, which made Song Huaimin very angry.

Ling Su himself didn't take it seriously, shrugging his shoulders: "Since I'm a 'cocoon' person, it's normal to treat me like this..."

Song Huaimin frowned. For some reason, Ling Su's expression suddenly made him a little confused: "What do you mean?"

"Old Song, do you believe it?" Ling Su looked around, and lowered his voice mysteriously, "I suspect that Yu and I have a personal enmity."

Song Huaimin: "..."

Ling Su was still very serious: "It's true."

He listed a lot of evidence, and counted to Deputy Captain Song with his fingers: "Do you remember the singing ear pick I drew last time? And my room of rainbow bricks, and my ten pieces of modern art Big pants..."

After working with Ling Su for so long, Song Huaimin still couldn't figure out when this person was serious and when he was sick.He looked at Ling Su who was babbling solemnly, and was so angry that his head ached.

Song Huaimin raised his leg and kicked over: "Obviously it's your own problem! You used to say that the office's feng shui is not good, and then you said that my forehead sucked your good luck away. Now it's the 'cocoon' that's to blame? ?!"

Ling Su had long been used to being kicked by him, so he dodged skillfully and quickly, and slipped to Zhuang Die's side, his demeanor instantly softened and calmed down: "What did you find?"

Song Huaimin pressed his forehead hard: "..."

He was dizzy with anger, turned off the personal panel and was about to find something to start with. He accidentally glanced at it, but suddenly noticed the change in the value on it.

Being teased by Ling Su, his attention was unconsciously shifted, he was not fully focused on the task and the hostages as before, and the reduction in mental power was even imperceptibly slowed down by a tiny bit.

Although there is only a tiny trace, it is already very rare good news on this small island that will continue to lose blood.

Song Huaimin looked at Ling Su not far away.

Just by looking at the latter's behavior, it is impossible to judge whether he did it intentionally or not—at this moment, Ling Su has changed into a different person in an instant, and he is squatting beside Zhuang Die, studying the booklet together.

Ling Su looked very serious, with one hand on Zhuang Die's shoulder in a semi-protective gesture.He communicated with Zhuang Die in a low voice, his slightly sharp brows became serious, and it was clearly the standard captain's posture again.

——For some reason, Song Huaimin suddenly had a strong sense of foreboding.

If this goes on for a long time, the first person in the team to suffer from schizophrenia is probably not the leader Ling Su who is recognized by everyone, but Song Huaimin himself...

Zhuang Die finally finished studying the booklet, closed it and returned it to Ling Su: "Those two people went the wrong way."

Song Huaimin was about to have a good talk with Ling Su, when he just came over, he was a little stunned when he heard this sentence: "What?"

"These sentences are all from Dante's "Divine Comedy." Zhuang Die looked up, "This is a very important reminder - you have made a mistake."

Song Huaimin's heart was suspended, and he was serious for a moment, and squatted down together: "What's the matter?"

"Did your original plan be to sneak into the forest, find the bandits who took the hostages, and try to rescue the hostages?" Zhuang Die asked.

Song Huaimin nodded: "It's almost like this."

The island is densely forested, and in their view, the most likely place for the hijackers to hide is in these dark forests.

Zhuang Die set the panel to public: "But blood will be lost here."

The first part of "Divine Comedy" is the forest, and the last few sentences have even clearly stated "I have abandoned the right path, and I don't know where to go."

Song Huaimin was taken aback.

"Do bandits also lose blood?" Song Huaimin frowned, "This is a dream field created by their center, can't they distinguish between their own people and intruders?"

"Having searched for this pamphlet, it means that there is no need to worry that Mengyu actually belongs to a certain victim."

Zhuang Die asked: "Why didn't 'Cocoon' just destroy this dream realm and forcefully liberate everyone in it?"

Song Huaimin was reminded by him, and suddenly realized this, his face changed slightly.

"I speculate that the dream realm has actually undergone another mutation, and a new type has emerged." Zhuang Die said, "This type of dream realm has no owner, so the cocoon cannot be destroyed, so it can only be sent to 'professionals'." Come in for emergency treatment."

This is the truth of the sudden appearance of those two people.

They were sent by "Cocoon" to deal with this new mutant dreamland urgently, not for any "bad influence".

Song Huaimin's chest couldn't stop heaving: "What should we do now?"

"If this line of thinking is correct, it is necessary to re-analyze the gangster's psychology."

Zhuang Die slowly broke his fingers: "First of all, their appeal is to redeem their bodies, and hostages are the only means they use to threaten the police, so they will never choose an environment where they will lose blood even if they do nothing .Secondly, they are far more familiar with this dream realm than us. In this case, there is no need for them to conflict with us, as long as they hide."

"Three conclusions can be drawn from these two considerations."

Zhuang Die put two stones in front of him: "First, they will never hide in the forest. Second, there must be a place on this small island that can survive for a long time."

Song Huaimin asked: "What about the third one?"

Zhuang Die held the last stone in his palm, he weighed it lightly twice, and looked towards the dark and terrifying forest shrouded in darkness.

"Third, the captain is a professional."

Zhuang Die was very serious, and put three stones neatly in front of him: "He is super powerful, and he can also snap his fingers to make sparks."
