90. New Experiences
When Jin Xiaohua spent about the same amount of time as Yan Yingxue in the unicorn pulp and collapsed on the bed after struggling to wrap her clothes, it had been nearly 12 hours since Yan Yingxue entered the Jade Dream. Everyone's dream is a secret, even for Wulin, who helped Yan Yingxue enter the dream, he has lost complete control at this moment.
To enter the Emerald Dream, in addition to a lengthy and complex spell, a medicine is required. It was this medicine that made it impossible for the Emerald Dream to be carried out at any time, if it were not for the continuous operation like Sun Lao tried on Zuo Lin, then there would be at least a year between any two Emerald Dreams. There is no other reason than that the drug has the same property as many of the things that are hated: "dependence".
In fact, any drug with hallucinogenic effects will inevitably have some dependence, physiological, and psychological effects. This drug, which only has the name of the spell druid, is about 100 words long if translated into a human-readable name according to the overlapping meaning of the spell druid, so all druids call this thing a secret medicine. The secret medicine is not very complicated to prepare, especially for the druids of the plant line of Zuolin, and a few special plants can be cultivated a little. If you don't use spells to enter the emerald dream, then this secret medicine just allows people to enter the deep dream realm and face their own secret **. Due to the relatively long duration of the effect, it is long enough to wait for the person who enters the dream to wake up naturally, and it is long enough to take the world in the dream as real. There are few physiological reasons for the dependence of secret drugs, and most of them are psychological. Psychologically, the exploration of one's inner world and the longing for another world of one's dreams can only be forgotten through time. The effect of the secret medicine is completely different for different people, people with simple hearts have simple dreams, and people with strong ** will be particularly strongly tempted. This is the reason why the Emerald Dream is carried out on a one-year interval, although it may not be safe for some people, but this is what it looks like.
Zuo Lin sat on the sofa, reading the newspaper while thinking back to the scene when he entered the Emerald Dream. In the two emerald dreams, only the mountains and forests and everything in the mountains and forests appeared in his dreams. Fight with the behemoths that may appear in your dreams in your dreams, talk to every living being, participate in the great chain of creatures in this world, and try to stand on a higher level...... At that time, he was so simple, and now, if he entered the Emerald Dream again, what would he see? Life in the city has undoubtedly changed Zuo Lin greatly, making Zuo Lin less sure about his heart.
"Zuo Lin, are you hungry?" Zhang Ling walked out of the bedroom with a yawn, and was a little surprised to see that it was already more than 3 o'clock in the morning and Zuo Lin was still sitting reading the newspaper. She was hungry and was struggling whether to be hungry or risk getting fat to get out of the fridge to make something out of the fridge to eat, but Zuo Lin seemed to help her make a choice.
"Can't sleep?" Zuo Lin asked.
“…… I woke up. With that, Zhang Ling walked towards the kitchen. Zuo Lin didn't lie down beside him, Zhang Lingdi's sleep suddenly became very shallow, and he was no longer the kind of heavy sleep that could ignore anything. But in any case, in front of Zuo Lin, Zhang Ling would not admit this.
A few minutes later, a hastily made sandwich and coffee were placed on the coffee table, and the two of them ate as they struggled with bacon and pickles that could fall out of the slices of bread at any moment. But with Zhang Ling's company, Zuo Lin's heart was also much more stable, and he no longer worried about Yan Yingxue who was in the trial.
"What's wrong with Xuexue?" Zhang Ling asked with a little eagerness as his mouth was still stuffed with something. I can also think of it with my nose, and now Zuo Lin is not sleeping because he is worried about Yan Yingxue.
"It's a trial to be a druid. She had to accomplish a series of things in her dreams, and then she would wake up on her own. When the time comes, she'll be a druid just like me. Moreover, now the position of the druid in the parliament is very vacant. The Council recommended that I take up other positions before I let Yan Yingxue succeed me. And as long as Jin Xiaohua works hard enough, he will definitely occupy a position when he passes the trial in the future. Cats, foxes, hedgehogs, magpies...... There are a lot of positions that are vacant, and they are all from my operations department. ”
Zhang Ling smiled wryly and said, "That's right, to deal with the Tang Group, maybe you can bring a few more horses to be majestic?"
Zuo Lin was stunned for a moment, isn't it too much to describe the druids under his command as a horse boy, but he immediately realized a question: "You mean, the Tang clan also has super troops in their hands?"
"I've been checking Tang's dark accounts and doing financial analysis for the past few days. There was a group of people whose payslips were very abnormal, and there were other times when these people had their tickets prepared by Tong. I searched the news based on airline tickets and dates, and then looked at the catalogue of the classified footage, and I saw the name. I don't know what kind of people they are, but these people can do a lot of amazing things, and now that I know that there are druids like you, I think it's normal to suspect that those people also have some special abilities, right?" Zhang Ling said, "I'll sort out a little bit of information and show it to you." However, if you're not going to do it right away, I'll put aside the analysis and sorting out of this part of the data a little bit, and I've already delayed a lot of my usual work. ”
Zhang Ling's daily work is closely related to how much money Zuo Lin has, and Zuo Lin can't say anything. However, Zhang Ling continued: "The meaning of that PI may be the abbreviation of Paradise Island. The island is the smallest geographical unit that can be isolated from the outside world and has a lot of operability, and you see how many things related to the island have you encountered recently?"
"Paradise Island, where is it, and I know the location, so I'll let Pauletta go and see it first. ”
Zhang Ling said: "The Pacific Ocean, not near the main shipping routes, seems to be a very remote place. Zuo Lin was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Is this island not in the Tang family's asset list at all?"
Zhang Ling replied, "Yes, it is not in the list." But the flow of money is very large. Moreover, there is only an inflow, almost no outflow. I looked at the records of the past 5 years, and the amount was different for each year, but the amount was 15% of Tong's total underground capital flow. If it weren't for the fact that Tang handed over this part to the people behind him as protection money or something, then PI is a super money-eating project. Basically, after deducting the money flowing to the PI, deducting the cost of money laundering, deducting some personnel, bribery, etc., which are listed in write-offs, depreciation and special drawdowns, I estimate that the annual profitability of Tong's underground in the past 5 years is only between 15 and 25. If it is a business, it is normal, it is rare to be able to maintain this kind of profitability with the scale of the Tang family, but as an underground business, it is disproportionately low. With this rate of profitability, if not otherwise, it is simply not worth putting money on this. It is normal for a criminal organization to have a gross profit rate of 50 or even 80, or even higher. ”
Zuo Lin thought about it for a moment, although he almost completely didn't understand this way of judging the other party's actions by the flow of funds, but it seemed to make sense. He thought for a moment and asked, "Can you find out who their backstage is?"
Zhang Ling said embarrassedly: "It can be, but it is super troublesome and time-consuming." The Tang Group itself is engaged in logistics. PI or Paradise Island, that part of the repatriated funds should be purchased with the help of Tang's logistics system. A way to save time and hassle. But this small part of the rebound amount has to be supported by a large amount of data to analyze what Tang bought for the people behind him. Then, based on these purchases, the possible target communities are analyzed. But the community itself is ambiguous. It may be that there are unfavorable people or groups in the public information, and I can't have as much background information as the CIA, although it's not completely impossible, but doing a lot of work is still like looking for a needle in a haystack. So, my opinion is that if you're going to deal with Tang, I'll set out to sort out the relevant things for your reference. If, you're going to pull the people behind them out together...... It's best if you have someone else to provide information. I've tried my best, but it's not something I can do. ”
Zuo Lin nodded. Zhang Ling was about to continue to tell Zuo Lin what he was going to do recently, when Zuo Lin shook his hand. Looking at Zuo Lin's sudden smile, and the footsteps that appeared so light that they seemed to be dancing, Zhang Ling knew that it should be Yan Yingxue.
Yan Yingxue cheered and rushed into the sunroom, jumped into Zuo Lin's arms, pulled Zuo Lin's collar and shook it and shouted: "Brother Zuo Lin, I succeeded, I succeeded." ”
Yan Yingxue's dreams are as cartoonish as her life, in her dreams, the city has become a forest, and the high-rise buildings have become lush ancient trees, and everywhere is covered by greenery. Some people lived at the bottom of the trees and built houses, some carved rooms into the trunks of huge trees like woodpeckers, and some built houses on the branches like birds' nests. In the city, a large river flows through it, and there are abundant fish and shrimp, as well as a variety of good and delicious aquatic products. In this city, people live in harmony with the animals of nature...... Then, when Yan Yingxue has just become familiar with the city in her dream, she has to defeat the monster that threatens the city - according to Yan Yingxue's description, it seems that the monster is made of non-degradable styrofoam. Although the content of the dream is cartoonish, the people in it still feel the most obvious crisis, and the little Yan Yingxue, with only a few spells and transformations, finally defeated the big monster.
When she told her dreams to Zuo Lin and Zhang in a colorful way, Yan Yingxue herself was also experiencing the changes. The ability of the druid does not mutate, and the Emerald Dream is just a psychological and spiritual test, allowing people to understand things in another environment, from a different perspective, and understand things that they don't usually notice. And now, Yan Yingxue began to notice that the fluctuations of everything around her were no longer something she could only feel when she needed to maintain that strange rhythm breathing method, or chant classical songs, and absorb the power of nature. When Yan Yingxue finally understood how to keep herself feeling at any time around her, everything around her seemed to be beckoning to her, living beings are simple, they don't have the complex emotions of human beings, but they can still see the different states of each living creature from the fluctuations. This kind of communication between man and nature is as if all the creatures in this world are talking. The fluctuations of the forces of nature do not lie. (Full Text)
