In a splendid hotel, there is a card table.

The dealer had a cold face and was expressionless when he spoke: "Mr. Wang speaks." ”

Wang Youquan twisted his neck slightly, and the beautiful waiter next to him immediately handed over his cigar.

Wang Youquan took a slight puff, held the smoke in his mouth for two seconds, and then sprayed it out of his nasal cavity. The mist obscured his cards, as well as the dense, mountain-like chips, he took out a handful and threw it in front of the other party: "Five hundred thousand." ”

The dealer's face turned to the other side of the table: "Mr. Xu......"

"Search and rescue team, from today onwards, don't call me Mr. Xu, call me Brother Yan," Xu Yan took off the crystal glasses decorated with gold wire, gently wiped them twice with a silk handkerchief, and put them on again, the faint light reflected from the glasses lenses, just right to cover his sharp gaze, "I'll follow, add another million." ”

The dealer starts dealing the cards, and the turn card is an ace of diamonds. Xu Yan quietly looked at the long cigarette ash of the cigar, waiting for it to break, and Xu Yan tapped the table with his fingers, one after another, not very strong, but extremely clear.

As a representative of the onlookers, Wu Xiaoqing spoke: "In the past 12 hours, between the gambling god Wang Youquan and the richest man Xu Yan, the cumulative gambling amount has exceeded 300 million ......."

"We've done an average of two million bets for every card dealt at the table......"

"What a gamble of the century. So far, the gambling god king Youquan still maintains a winning record......"

Wang Youquan snorted coldly: "Gambling with me is the biggest mistake you have made in your life." ”

Xu Yan didn't care: "I'm different from you, you are the king of gambling, and your gambling is work." I gamble, but it's just a pastime. In that sense, you're a service person, you know? What about 300 million? Lao Tzu makes ten times more money every day! ”

King Elise spoke from the sidelines: "What Mr. Xu said really has a kingly style. ”

A figure flew past the gambling table, and no one could see it, leaving only a voice: "A little bit of a blockage is just a passing cloud, but as long as you can win, it is a dollar, and it is also comfortable." ”

Wang Youquan raised his head and clenched his fists: "Thank you, Brother Dao, for your support!" See you again in Qianyangmen another day. ”

The referee coldly raised an arm and dealt a draw card, which was a square King: "Mr. Wang speaks." ”

Wang Youquan gently raised two fingers and said in his mouth: "200 million, since you have a lot of money, then give you some excitement." ”

"Brother Yan speaks."

Xu Yan nodded with satisfaction: "I like this dealer, give him a reward!" ”

Xu Yan next to a few boats of strong men in suits, each carrying two huge suitcases, put them behind the dealer, and then opened them in front of everyone - densely packed with money, red is RMB, green is US dollars, and the scene is full of exclamations.

……

Wu Xiaoqing looked at his lines: "Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang, and me......"

He finished reading it patiently, and with a dedicated mood, even if he had ten thousand thoughts in his heart that he wanted to complain, he forcibly held back. Then he couldn't help but look at the search and rescue team - since he promised to participate in the operation to see a new thing, then he had to do things according to the rules. Don't talk about him, even the collection team is also faithfully playing his role - his cold face also bloomed with a smile, and he flattered Xu Yan with a smile on his face: "Brother Qiang's shot is not ordinary!" Atmosphere! ”

"That's a lot of nonsense, let's open the cards!" Wang Youquan stood up, his face flushed, and he slammed the slap in his hand on the tabletop - like a slap in Xu Yan's face - a straight flush!

Xu Yan didn't raise his eyelids, and threw the card directly into the trash: "Isn't it just millions, it's like I've never seen money, and I'll give it to you." ”

Win domineering, lose chic...... If this is really arranged into a movie, it will definitely look better than Wu Xiaoqing's rescue of the primitive.

It's a pity.

Such a good script is destined to only be addicted in this illusory world.

This scene was probably over, Wu Xiaoqing knew the rules, and immediately walked out of these areas with physical scenery and came to some vague areas around. These zones feel like scenes in the Nine Heavens Fantasy Realm, full of scenes that appear at any time, without gravity......

It is normal to be similar, because the Nine Heavens Illusion itself is to visualize the world of human consciousness. And here, it is precisely the real world of consciousness.

Compared with the Nine Heavens Illusion, the "picture" here is more impressive, and the colleagues who see the picture can almost feel all the emotions that the owner of the consciousness has. For example, the picture that Wu Xiaoqing just flew over was the day Wang Youquan's wife gave birth to a child - Wu Xiaoqing was just passing by this picture, but he really felt this nervousness and excitement.

The center of the picture is now fissioned, changing from one center to two - representing the interaction of the consciousness of the two undergoing the operation.

The picture that belongs to Wang Youquan is still gambling, but the object has changed from a luxurious big casino to a common black casino in the countryside, and the content of gambling has also changed from Texas Hold'em to fried gold. Wang Youquan, who was dressed as a big brother in a suit and leather shoes, also returned to his normal appearance. He held a few ten-dollar bills in his hand, and watched the gamblers gamble again and again, eager and hesitant.

If these pictures are seen for the first time, there will be a lot of freshness when you come to participate. But after watching too much, in fact, just like watching TV, movies and other programs, it can quickly form aesthetic inertia.

These images look a lot like real-world memory records, and at first, Wu Xiaoqing thought so. But after a few hours here, he knew it wasn't the case. The essence of these images is the memory of the conscious owner – with perspective, even imagination.

For example, the clips that Wu Xiaoqing participated in just now obviously belong to the content of the YY clips of Wang Youquan and Xu Yan - because there is only one consciousness space in the space station, the thinking content of the two converges here.

On the surface, in that clip, the two gambled for a day and a night, but in fact, Wu Xiaoqing and the search and rescue team were only involved for ten minutes.

In the space of consciousness, the flow of time itself is not uniform, and at important fragments, it often presents a slow-motion effect, and subconsciously fast-forwards on a large number of repetitive content without information.

And there is a difference between the subjective time here and the real objective time - Wu Xiaoqing has been in for a whole day, but objectively, the whole "operation" has only started for 10 minutes.

According to the explanation of the search and rescue team, the current stage is mainly the information gathering stage - constantly reproducing the memories in their brains and then extracting relevant data from them. For example, Wang Youquan, the key content of this operation is related to gambling, so all the retrieved memories are related to gambling. The memory here includes not only the gambling scenes that Wang Youquan personally experienced, but also the literary and artistic works that have a deep impression on Wang Youquan - in many cases, the latter is actually the real main reason.

The so-called therapy is to play and re-enact these clips again and again.

Figuratively speaking, it's like constantly adjusting the original memory material in a certain direction and making detailed modifications - just like doing PS on memory.

"People's memories form personalities, and what they do now is often a kind of interpretation of the accumulation of the past." This is the original words of the search and rescue team, and now Wu Xiaoqing is already somewhat understandable.

A few hours later, in Wang Youquan's memory, the style of gambling had changed unconsciously.

Wu Xiaoqing went in to feel it once, although there is no difference in the content of the whole memory, one thing is certain, that is, in the picture, Wang Youquan's mood began to become depressed.

Xu Yan is the same, although they are all scenes of making a fortune again and again, either winning the lottery, or the investor wants to invest tens of millions in his project with a thigh on the thigh...... There is even YY Wu Xiaoqing and the search and rescue team who specially asked him to save an alien who lives on the golden planet. But in the consciousness space, it can be clearly felt, and Xu Yan's emotional feelings about making a fortune have decreased accordingly.

If it is said that in general TV movies, the production of post-production special effects is to guide the plot to bizarre and emotional, then the operation of memory here is diametrically opposite. Because it is an addiction rehab operation, in essence, it is to turn a kind of thing that people were originally very interested in into not interested, from emotional to rational. Generally speaking, the overall memory screen will become darker.

But there are also opposite types of operations, such as making some negative feedback scenarios more impressive, such as Wang Youquan's scene about losing cards. In the original picture, the most blurred picture detail when losing, that is, the most important picture detail when winning - your own and the opponent's hole cards, is blurred. In some memories, there is even a blank slate—the subconscious does not want to recall these images.

But in the memory after the modification, the original blank cards have patterns and numbers on them, and there is even a special lighting. When the card is lost, when the opponent turns over the hole cards, the whole light on Wang Youquan's side is dimmed - and the opponent's side is bright, and the expression on his face is exaggerated like a haha mirror.

Objectively, the operation took about four hours. But in the subjective time of the three people, this process lasted almost a full three days or so. Wu Xiaoqing is okay, he doesn't need surgery, most of the time, he is just an outsider to see the excitement. But for Xu Yan and Wang Youquan, this experience is definitely not pleasant.

It's like going to bed and having a whole night of dreaming – dreaming itself is very mentally draining, not to mention all sorts of bizarre dreams. These dreams were beautiful at first, but when they did, they were all their worst feared nightmares.
