Chapter 11: Identity Exposed
After Wei Youqi and Shen Xiao separated, the two returned to their respective homes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Xiao was sitting in front of the computer checking the information while drinking coffee, and suddenly a video window popped up.
She took a deep breath and clicked with her mouse to agree. In the video, a middle-aged man from abroad sits at the table and speaks to Shen Xiao in fluent American English: "Miss Shen Xiao, how is your matter going?" ”
Shen Xiao also replied in standard English: "Mr. Filip, please give me a little time, the situation here is more complicated than I imagined." Just after I found Professor Lui, he passed away, and the cause of death is still unknown. ”
The man on the other end of the picture was surprised: "What? He actually died? Could it be that he used some means to escape you? How could he die so easily? ”
"Probably not, I saw with my own eyes that his body had been cremated, and his family had completed his funeral." Shen Xiao reported to him.
The man on the other end asked, "Is there a whereabouts of that thing?" ”
"Not for the time being, I have searched his home and laboratory, but unfortunately I haven't found it."
As if afraid that the man would be unhappy, Shen Xiao immediately continued: "However, I found his assistant, and he had an excellent relationship with Professor Lu during his lifetime. If it's still there, it must be in his hands. ”
Hearing the second half of the sentence, the expression of the man in the picture softened, "You have to find out as soon as possible, there is not much time left for us!" ”
"Yes!" Shen Xiao watched the other party turn off the video, and her mood couldn't calm down for a long time.
At this time, Wei Youqi was still sitting at the desk, looking through the teacher's notes. Looking at the date of this page changed to March 2007, he thought that it should be the teacher's notes on some important events. So, full of curiosity, he continued to watch:
This is my second year as a member of International Psychology, and I am back in the United States to attend a psychology forum.
At the meeting, I was shocked by what I said. After the meeting, a member of International Psychology invited me to her home. It was this visit that made me completely reveal my true identity.
I was invited by a Chinese-American, Lisa, the youngest of all the attendees and the only woman, in her early twenties, but her scientific research is very famous.
I thought she would discuss psychology research with me, but I didn't expect to be knocked unconscious by her as soon as I entered her house.
When I woke up in a daze, I found myself tied to a chair and sitting on the bed across from me with an American man who smiled and said, "Awake? I'm really sorry that my subordinates are not doing well, and they invited you in such a rude way. ”
I watched Lisa stand respectfully to the side, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, and immediately understood that Lisa was nothing more than a subordinate of the American man in front of me.
"I wonder what advice you asked me to come to?" I calmed down and asked.
The man smiled and said, "I don't dare to give advice, I just want to ask you to do an experiment!" Looking at his smiling face, I just felt that behind that smile was full of calculation and danger.
But now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, I can only obediently obey. The man sitting on the bed gestured to Lisa with his eyes, only to see that she had taken a small delicate bottle, which seemed to be the size of her thumb. But I know it's definitely not going to be a good thing.
"Professor Lu, take it easy! To be honest, you are one of the Chinese I admire the most! If the experiment is successful, you will be my right-hand man! The man said as he put on gloves and a mask.
I had a bad premonition, but unfortunately my hands and feet were tied, and I couldn't struggle at all. I could only watch him stand up and walk towards me.
"Professor Lu, don't be afraid! I'm not going to hurt you. As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the vial and placed it under my nose.
The choking smell came to my face, and I just felt that this thing seemed to get into my brain, and I was dizzy and dizzy. Finally, I couldn't hold back any longer, and with a bite of "wow", I spit out all the things in my stomach.
The man took the bottle away, and at the same time Lisa took a basin of water and poured it over my head, and I shook my head vigorously, finally feeling as if I had regained a little of my spirit.
"What the hell have you done to me?" I yelled at him. The moment I opened the bottle, I felt only fear and worry that I had never felt before, my brain completely lost its mind at that moment, and the helplessness and loneliness seemed to bring me back to the world of my dreams without freedom of movement.
The man across from me took off his mask, slowly took off his gloves, and said to me, "What did I do to you?" Now you have to think about it, what did you do to Mr. Lu Song? ”
I didn't understand what he was saying at first, so I asked, "What the hell do you mean?" ”
He stared at me with amusement, as if he had noticed something interesting, and seeing my anxious and puzzled face, he said faintly, "What? Have you forgotten all about the past? Is it too long for you to think of yourself as a human being? ”
After hearing this, my hairs stood on end, and I roared at him, "Who are you?" What exactly are you going to do? ”
"Mr. Lu, I don't care how you came to this world, I just remind you to remember your identity! Don't think that just because you look like a human and you can really think of yourself as a human, you're just a life in a dream! ”
After listening to what he said, I was completely sure that the man in front of me knew all my secrets, and I looked at him in fear.
"How did he know my true identity? Why did he trick me into coming here? What exactly is his purpose? "My brain was spinning.
"Mr. Lu, don't panic! We don't mean it very well! Lisa walked over.
"No malice?" I sneered and asked disdainfully, "There is no malice in your efforts to force me to do experiments in this way?" What did you just smell me? ”
"Mr. Lu, I'll untie you, but please don't try to escape, it's easy for us to find you!" The man gestured for Lisa to untie me.
I sat down in a chair and said, "Say it! What the hell are you going to do? "I understood that they didn't want my life, but seemed to have something to ask me for.
Sure enough, the man sitting on the edge of the bed spoke, and asked me jerkily in Chinese, which was not fluent: "Mr. Lu, do you know what 'Shadow Dream Man' is?" ”
"Shadow Dreamer?" I shook my head, "Never heard of it." ”
Lisa then opened her mouth and explained to me, "The Shadow Dream Man is the one who came from the dream. Like you, they came to the human world through other people's bodies and are collectively known as 'Shadow Dreamers'. ”
"Who are you?" Being able to know so much about our group made me curious about who they were.
Lisa looked at the man, as if asking for his opinion, and seeing that he nodded, Lisa continued to answer, "We're all Shadow Dreamers just like you!" ”
I knew it might be the answer, but I was shocked when I actually heard her say it.
"All of my kind?" Seeing the success story I was looking for right in front of me, I couldn't be happier.
Then a question came to my mind: "How do you know I'm a dreamer?" ”
The man smiled and replied, "What you just smelled has a special effect on the Shadow Dreamer, it can penetrate deep into the soul. The Shadow Dreamer reacts strongly when he smells it, and if he accidentally sticks to his skin......" He paused, his expression becoming indifferent, as if he was thinking of something.
"What happens if you get it?" I started to panic.
He came back to his senses and said, "Stick it!" will cease to exist! Instead of returning to the world of dreams, it disappears. ”
"How so? And this kind of thing? "I was shocked. For a dreamer who has finally won his freedom, such a blow is undoubtedly huge.
The man smiled bitterly and said, "That's right! There is a saying in China that all things in heaven and earth are mutually reinforcing. Maybe that's the nemesis of our Shadow Dreamers! ”
"What the hell is this?"
Listening to my question, Lisa replied, "This was stolen from Montnets, discovered by one of their scientists, but he's dead." Now no one knows what it really is. ”
"Montnets? What is that? "I found myself in a cycle of doubt, and I didn't understand everything they said.
"Montnets is an organization specially established by various countries to deal with our Shadow Dreamers." The man explained to me.
"Against our organization? They know us? Why deal with us? ”
"Not only do they know we exist, but they are trying to capture us. Because they think that our arrival has broken the rules of this world. ”
After listening to his explanation, I knew in my heart: because of our arrival, many people have mental problems, and even die or are directly replaced by us. And our superpowers should make them feel more stressed! No one wants to see a companion who is higher than themselves appear in front of them.
"But how did you find out that I was a Shadowdreamer? It's not like you've got a lot of people to do this test, right? "I have a key question in mind. They could tell who I was from the experiment, but how did they suspect me before the experiment?
At this time, Lisa raised the corners of her mouth slightly, as if with a mocking look, and said, "Do you remember where the original owner of this body went?" ”
Listening to her words, I remembered: he should have been pushed into a dream by me. But what does this have to do with me being suspected?
Lisa looked at me puzzled and continued: "The real Lu Song was pushed into that dream world without freedom by you, have you ever felt a trace of guilt? ”
I was shocked and stared at her carefully: "How do you know that I pushed him into a dream?" ”
Lisa smiled bitterly, slowed down her speech, and said word by word, "Because I am him." ”
