Chapter 20: Anomalies
Mo Yuan recounted his encounter in the history of the dream, especially the experience of meeting and talking with Wu Tian, to Wu Xin in detail, but he did not tell Wu Xin about the special "one minute" and the experience of meeting the slate again in the fountain pool of the park.
"How long will the effect of the short-term memory-enhancing medicine I took last long?" asked Mo Yuan.
"It varies from person to person, and the effect of the drug generally lasts for an hour. You took the medicine at 4:20 p.m., it's 5:05 p.m., and it should be fifteen minutes before it expires. Why, are you reluctant to give up this wonderful feeling of having your head overcharged?"
"It's just curious, you know I've always had a lot of questions. Mo Yuan replied.
"Well, yes, since Mr. Writer came into contact with me as a friend of my father, he has asked me a lot of questions, but fortunately these questions are not stupid, and I am happy to answer them. Wu Xin looked at Mo Yuan with a smile.
"Mr. Writer regrets very much that he contacted you as your father's friend in the first place, knowing that you were so clever, why did Mr. Writer pretend to be your identity and end up being made fun of and unknowing, and acting like a clown. Mo Yuan laughed at himself.
"Clowns, usually show their stupidity and burlesque to get the audience to laugh and get money. Mr. Writer is different, although I was recognized from the beginning, but from beginning to end, it shows his rigorous thinking and reasoning, watching you play your role there seriously, completely unaware that your identity has already been exposed, it is really a very interesting thing, this is why I have been cooperating with you to act, I don't want to let your performance curtain call too early, there is not much fun in life, this rare fun, of course I want to enjoy it. Wu Xin's words changed, "However, it is not that you have made any obvious mistakes in your thinking and reasoning because you have been recognized by me, if you want to blame my father, I will blame my father for being extraordinary, 'he has no friends', you never expected it, and it should be said that you will not consider it at all." Everyone has friends, and pretending to be someone else's friend is a relatively safe strategy, and you can do your best. After speaking, Wu Xin got up," After you woke up, you have been telling me about the experience in the history of the dream, and you haven't had time to rest and adjust, ordinary customers are going to go to Area C to do a psychological assessment after returning to the real world, although, we are more special this time, you don't have to do a psychological assessment, but, you still need a little rest, what about me, there is still some data to process, so I will lose my company first, you will continue to rest on the sofa bed for a while, later, when I am done, I will come to you, let's go to have dinner together, although it is a working meal in the canteen of Area A, but the taste is still good。 ”
"Okay, you can do whatever you want, you get busy first. Mo Yuan replied.
After Wu Xin left, Mo Yuan took out his mobile phone, and while the medicine was still working, he entered the strange words on the slate in his memory into the mobile phone. His intuition told him that the biggest gain of this trip was the content of this stone tablet in addition to the encounter with Wu Tian, although he had not yet had the ability to read it.
The words "content has been encrypted and stored" gradually disappeared from the phone screen, and Mo Yuan closed his eyes reassuringly, "It's time to take a break." ”

"Before, did anything unusual happen in the process of accessing the experience system to enter the designated dream history?" Wu Xin asked his researcher as he operated the computer.
"No anomalies were found, and the participant entered the designated 'Dream History' at the café at 225 Downtown Avenue in City A, at 1:45 p.m. on Saturday. The researcher replied, "Do you have any findings to confirm?"
"This is the first time we've used the blocker in secret, and it may cause anomalies in the empirical system, so we'll recheck the data in between, so we don't miss anything before. Wu Xin emphasized.
"Okay, that's going to start rechecking. The staff member replied, "It is estimated to take one hour." ”
"Good. ”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What are the results of the re-examination, and whether any abnormalities have been found. Wu Xin asked.
"No anomalies were found, and although the interception system ultimately failed to do its job: it captured and rendered the dream history replayed by the experience system, but it did not cause the experience system to be abnormal. The researcher replied.
"Confirmed?"
"Confirmed!" replied the researcher affirmatively.
Wu Xin was still skeptical, "Is it really that I'm too worried? Mo Yuan really just asked me 'Is there anything abnormal going on' just because 'after waking up, I feel a little dizzy in my head'?" I always feel that the expression on his face when he asked me was like he had indeed encountered something strange and was confirming it to me. And when I told him that there was nothing abnormal in the system and asked him 'what's wrong', he found a temporary reason to prevaricate. ”
"Is there anything else you need me to do?" the researcher waited.
Wu Xin returned to reality from his thoughts, "Oh, no, you can go about your own business." ”
"There is no definite evidence, but Mr. Writer must have something to hide from me. Oh, how could I invite you to dinner for no reason?" Wu Xin turned off the computer, and the smile reflected on the screen faded, "It's time to visit Mr. Writer to see how he is resting." ”
