don't open your eyes [unlimited]

Z1: "..."

Out of some unfounded superstition, he turned his head subconsciously and looked at Ling Su who was standing behind him.

"Impossible." Ling Su immediately denied, "I haven't evolved to the point where I cross the boundary between reality and dreams."

Indeed, there were times when his luck seemed less than satisfactory.Such as choosing a dream realm, drawing a lottery, buying instant noodles, and various unexpected little details...

...In fact, if he hadn't deliberately chosen to drive home late at night, there would be a [-]% to [-]% probability that Ling Su would encounter traffic jams or be involved in other troublesome accidents.

But even so, Captain Ling still firmly believes that this characteristic will never break through reality, and even the development in the dream realm is forcibly distorted because of his participation, and there are changes that go against common sense.

"It makes sense... If that's the case, you've probably been supervised for research."

Z1 was successfully persuaded by him, but he still rubbed his forehead that hurt from being shot, and sighed in confusion: "How could it be? This is not the same as what was agreed."

"That...excuse me."

The hypnotist looked back and forth, and couldn't help but interject: "I haven't really kept up with it since just now."

Holding the ticket, he stood by the railroad track: "Although I don't know what's going on, it seems like you skipped a lot of steps suddenly and easily..."

Z1 sighed with some headaches, turned around while covering his forehead, and tidied up his clothes that had been blown by the wind.

Although I don't know what went wrong, but in any case, the train has been missed.

According to the prompts he could see, the next trip would come in an hour, and the time became less tense...or rather, quite ample.

They had to stand here for an hour in this cold, wet, foggy late night before they could try their luck on the next train.

This is also the reason why Z1 rushed to push the plot as soon as it came up, and wanted to take these people in the car and leave as soon as possible.

"That's right, Mr. Liu."

Z1 apologized: "Although I am different from the novice stage guide you mentioned, I am indeed a 'guidance' in a certain sense."

……

The reason for this situation is actually related to Ling Su and Zhuang Die.

After D2 came back with F3 in disgrace, the headquarters finally officially confirmed and announced the existence of "Dream Realm of Dying" based on the two summaries of him and Ling Su, plus the memory video retained during the mission.

These dream domains were born at the moment when the dreamer was on the verge of death—due to the death of the dreamer, they could neither dissipate due to the release of obsession, nor could they end through the dreamer's awakening, and could only float almost still forever deep in the subconscious.

Z1 explained to this point, and Ling Su already understood what he meant: "Since the person concerned has died in a physical sense, it is naturally impossible for 'cocoon' to be worthy of the name, and it has become a dream domain without an owner."

The other party told the truth, and Ling Su also completely understood why Z1 asked himself about luck: "Since it is a dream domain without an owner, of course it will be included in this dream galaxy..."

Z1 breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's it."

After confirming the unique consciousness fluctuations in the dying dream realm, they conducted a comprehensive search of the entire galaxy, and found that there were indeed a certain number of similar dream realms here, and urgently screened and blocked them.

The fluctuations in the consciousness of Dreamland itself are strong and weak, and there will inevitably be fish that slip through the net after screening, but the number is already extremely rare.

In the vast dreamland of drifting, there is only a one-in-a-million chance that they will be "coincidentally" selected by the tasker...

"……Wait a moment."

Ling Su stopped the task record that Z1 was filling out: "Why did you put the quotation marks? I did choose it randomly with my eyes closed."

Z1 was in a somewhat complicated mood. After a moment of silence, he carefully reminded: "If this is the case... Captain Ling, you should indeed ask for a lottery or find a random belief as soon as possible. I heard that collecting a thousand crosses or plate a thousand crosses Walnuts will help too."

Ling Su: "..."

"I understand." The hypnotist said suddenly, "If someone is really unlucky and happens to choose this kind of dream domain, you will guide them to leave."

For example, in their round, Ling Su was really lucky, leading Zhuang Die to choose the unique one among thousands of galaxies.

The hypnotist, on the other hand, saw the familiar serial number and was attracted to it out of curiosity.

Since there was an extra serious invitee, the hypnotist, in the queue, Z1 couldn't directly inform them to force them to quit, so he had to come over and guide a few people to quickly pass the level and leave, and then sealed the dream domain.

The hypnotist finally cleared his mind: "That's why I took you as a novice guide just now, and when I asked you if you were the guide, you suddenly froze for a moment?"

"I thought you saw through me at the time, but after watching your backstage, I realized it was a misunderstanding." Z1 nodded.

"In order to reduce the number of insiders as much as possible, every time this happens, we will send a first-level quester to guide you through the customs as soon as possible... If it is our internal quester, just tell them to quit and change to another dream realm."

Z1 put away the task record: "This is also the first time I have encountered this situation."

The clues they can check are actually the most direct answers given by "Cocoon" after the pre-detection.

Let’s use an analogy—if this dreamland is a ridiculously large maze, there are four routes A, B, C, and D that can lead to the exit, but some will take a long detour; some may lead to false endings; Some can connect all the truths and completely unravel the obsessions left in this dream...Then the answer given by "Cocoon" is to jump on the wall of the maze and walk directly there.

This is the gap between the calculation of the computer and the human brain, which cannot be bridged by any program for the time being.

Computers can't understand why they don't take shortcuts, why they go back and forth in those circles, and why some seemingly insignificant things are so important to humans.

Therefore, the answer given by "cocoon" can only help people trapped in the dreamland to escape, but it can never really solve the dreamland itself.

……

"But no matter what, the escape plan given by 'Cocoon' is not a problem."

Z1 frowned and said: "There will be a train coming here every hour, and people who stray into the Dream Realm can be sent to the pier. After completing some tasks there, you can find the exit of the Dream Realm... The last time I came here During the investigation of Mengyu, we went out according to this clue."

Z1 subconsciously glanced at Ling Su: "Is it possible—"

"No." Zhuang Die shook his head.

Z1 paused and swallowed the words: "Oh."

Ling Su smiled softly, and rubbed the little curly hair in front of him.

He turned sideways and patiently helped the hypnotist translate: "Z1 would like to ask, could it be because I revealed his identity that the dream domain has undergone abnormal changes... It is a normal suspicion, but it is indeed impossible."

"When our conversation took place, the car hadn't come close - I've been watching for vibrations on the rails and can confirm that."

Ling Su explained to Z1: "If it was because of some changes caused by our conversation, this car would not drive over at all, nor would it open the door."

Z1 pondered for a moment, then nodded: "It makes sense... I was thinking too simply."

"Okay, okay, it's nothing serious."

The hypnotist smiled and smoothed things over: "It's just freezing here for an extra hour at most."

Up to now, the hypnotist has seen the situation clearly.

It is true that he is not good at reasoning, but he has a specialization in surgery, and he has dealt with Ling Su and Zhuang Die once, so it is easy to guess the undercurrents in the world.

In fact, Z1 did bad things with good intentions - with Ling Su and Zhuang Die's evidence-searching and reasoning abilities, even if there is no prompt, they can quickly find the ticket and the railroad tracks on the ground, and then combine their understanding of dreams and subconsciousness to deduce how to get on and off the train. location.

If everything went well, they would probably be sitting in the warm and bright compartment by now.

However, the series of reminders from Z1 also aroused a bit of arrogance that Ling Su himself hadn't noticed.

Here, the hypnotist is actually a little surprised.

It's normal for Ling Su not to be aware of this matter.The hypnotist can see that Ling Su's subconscious is likely to suppress some aspects that are completely opposite to his current performance—perhaps it is these factors that caused Ling Su to fail the assessment of the personality model.

But before he as a "professional" noticed it, Zhuang Die had already sensed it keenly and quickly... and almost without any thinking or choice, he had already determined his position.

That's why before the train arrived, Zhuang Die immediately caught up with Ling Su's topic, blocking Z1 with a series of irrefutable evidence.

As for the situation just now, it is even more obvious.

Before Z1 could express his doubts about Ling Su, he was directly denied by the young man.And Ling Su's explanation and proof for Zhuang Die is completely out of instinct, so as to avoid Z1's unnecessary misunderstanding of Zhuang Die...

The hypnotist didn't know much about the so-called "near-death dreamland" and didn't know what threats there were, so he still had the mood to cross his arms here and think about it leisurely, and even couldn't help but observe the two beings for a while. The person who strictly observes in the notebook.

"The two of you... are really good partners."

The hypnotist looked at the two of them, couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "Yan Xun actually wanted to poach one of them, it's because his thinking is too simple."

Ling Su unbuttoned his coat, wrapped the little curly hair in his arms to block the damp and cold mist, and looked at the hypnotist upon hearing this.

He was bored biting a small wooden branch that fell from a tree to relieve his boredom. After a while, he lowered his gaze silently, smiled slightly, and folded his arms.

It seems that he is not used to being seen his true thoughts, even though it is clear that the hypnotist has no malicious intentions at all, the sharpness on Ling Su's body is still withdrawn as soon as it appears, like cold mercury, it disappears in a flash.

When the hypnotist looked over again, the other party had returned to that lazy state, as if he was not that interested in everything around him except the person in his arms.

"...if you only have to wait another hour, that's certainly the best case scenario."

Z1 suddenly raised his head from his contemplation, looked at Ling Su and Zhuang Die: "I'm worried about two things."

He has also noticed his mistakes, but reflection is something after the task is completed, not to mention, their current situation is not caused by previous mistakes.

Z1 was thinking of something else.

What Ling Su said was right—it didn't seem to be any action they took that caused the dream to change.

In other words, no matter what was done before the train came, the train would probably close the doors before they got on.

Z1's eyes dimmed slightly: "First, if the next train is affected by this one—as you said just now, is it possible that the next train simply won't come, or won't open the door?"

"If that were the case, we'd be in trouble."

Z1 said: "The distance from here to the pier is very long. It takes at least 45 minutes by car. The speed of this train is [-] to [-] kilometers per hour. It is impossible for you to walk across it."

The reason why he didn't say "we" is because in his eyes, the fog here will not cause any trouble at all-and running at a high speed of 80-100km/h for 45 minutes is actually very simple for a first-level tasker .

Even the lowest-strength first-level tasker has a mental power level above Lv15.

If it is not an extremely fierce battle or a violent fluctuation of the SAN value, the first-level taskers will hardly be troubled by the exhaustion of mental power, and they can safely turn on the buff mode.

As for the most basic skills such as speed and durability, they even have several people... Don't say that they ran over by themselves, even if it was like a real-life program that challenges the limits of the human body, it would not be a problem to drag a van to run.

"In addition to this, I am more worried about another point."

Z1 frowned, and finally said after a while, "I suspect...it's actually my fault that we can't get in the car."

The hypnotist was surprised and asked: "Why?"

After asking this sentence, the hypnotist suddenly realized that he seemed to be alone, and when he turned his head, he found that Ling Su and Zhuang Die were not surprised at all.

"I just kept replaying it in the background, watching the few seconds when the train closed."

Z1 said: "Although the situation in the driver's cab cannot be seen... But it is obvious that the train has opened the door and stopped. This shows that it will stop next."

"The opportunity for the mutation was the moment I raised my leg to get on the train. In other words, the train probably refused me to get on as a passenger."

"If I hadn't come, you would have probably already arrived at the pier." Z1 said, "It was because of me that you were rejected by the train together, and you are still stuck here."

Z1 looked at Ling Su: "Actually, you have already discovered it, right? The reason why I didn't point it out is because I realized it myself."

It was only then that he figured out that the reason why Zhuang Die was so quick was definitely not Ling Su who caused the change in the Dreamland, and it was probably because he had noticed these details at that time.

And one of these two people kept silent when he gave the answer, while the other casually found other reasons, just to avoid causing too much pressure on him.

"It's not a big problem. We didn't expect to leave so soon."

Ling Su threw away the branch casually, smiled and took up the conversation: "Based on your two guesses...we have two plans."

"The first one." He put his arms around the little curly hair in his arms, and stretched out two fingers, "When the next bus comes, we'll take the bus and you run outside."

"Of course no problem." Z1 said without hesitation, "But what if the car doesn't come anymore?"

That's what worries him the most.

The reason why the train refused him to go up was probably because Z1 had already had this dream once.

When Z1 came to this dream again, he was recognized by Mengyu in a certain way, and he was refused to board the tram leading to the pier for the second time.

If because of this reason, further changes occurred in Mengyu, and they simply stopped sending cars over, it would be pointless for them to wait here for several hours.

"We'll wait for you here, and you run to the pier by yourself." The hypnotist thought for a while, "Is this feasible?"

"No way... the mission on the pier requires the cooperation of at least a few people. Besides, the exit is also there, so you have to go there."

Z1 shook his head, hesitated to speak: "And—"

The hypnotist froze for a moment: "What?"

"He is worried that if there is also a second entry into the Dream Realm, visitors will be rejected, and there will be another mutation."

Ling Su explained: "In this way, all the clues will be completely useless."

The hypnotist subconsciously looked at Z1, who nodded silently, and sat down with one hand on the ground.

Ling Su was pondering, when suddenly Zhuang Die pulled his cuffs.

He slightly raised his eyebrows, walked aside with Zhuang Die, bent his shoulders and whispered a few words to Little Curly, his eyes suddenly brightened with interest.

Ling Su met Zhuang Die's gaze, nodded confidently, and walked straight into the forest in the thick fog.

It didn't take long before the sound of tinkling Dangdang doing manual work came from the woods.

……

Z1 looked up a few times, but still couldn't help but tentatively asked Zhuang Die: "What did Captain Ling do?"

"Make transportation."

Zhuang Die is measuring the various dimensions of the rails, and sending the data to Ling Su through the background: "It may be easier...but it works."

For a moment, Z1 almost thought that Ling Su could make a steam locomotive with his bare hands, and he and the hypnotist looked at each other in astonishment for a while, then suddenly realized, and quickly got up to help.

It's just... Ling Su's efficiency undoubtedly far exceeded their expectations.

Z1 and the hypnotist were about to enter the forest, but Ling Su had already come out.There were a few thick hemp ropes that looked extremely strong on his shoulders, and the things he was dragging behind also pierced through the thick fog and stopped in front of them.

Z1 was a little dazed, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes carefully.

He saw a simple, rough, and unrestrained style, but it looked very strong and durable... a sled.

The hypnotist was puzzled: "This is...how—"

"How do you do it? It's very simple, just find the right wood."

Ling Su patted the sawdust on his body: "First break it into a suitable length, bend the head with fire, place four pieces of wood that are strong enough to fix it horizontally, and then nail a thick plank in the center..."

In order to adapt to the rails, he deliberately left a wedge at the bottom of the sled that was the same width as the rails, which happened to be very securely stuck on it.

"Captain Ling, Captain Ling." The hypnotist interrupted, "I didn't ask that."

He looked at Z1 with some hesitation, and then looked at Ling Su: "Are you planning...to let this first-level tasker pull the sled and take us across the rails?"

"It makes sense." Ling Su nodded, and looked at Z1, "Do you think there is a psychological barrier?"

Ling Su's own interest in this sport is actually very high, and he held the hemp rope: "Do you have any suitable skills? Lend me two, and I will have no problem pulling it..."

Z1 finally regained his composure, quickly shook his head and said, "No, I'm fine."

He looked at the sled and tried his best to keep up with his thoughts: "It's just...do you have a way to solve the problem of friction?"

For Z1, it is not a problem to pull a few people to run, but it is just a sled made of wood, no matter how strong it is, it may not be able to hold it: "The wood slides on the rails at this speed, even if the weather does not cause fire, it must be Worn."

"Friction is well resolved."

Zhuang Die nodded and took off his backpack: "But we need all of us to work together."

Z1 was stunned: "Huh?"

Facing the dazed eyes of Z1 and the hypnotist, Ling Su put his arm around Zhuang Die's shoulders, and took up the conversation in a timely manner: "There is something that needs to be confirmed in advance..."

Ling Su moved his wrist affectionately: "Do you like to eat bananas?"
