Chapter 263: The Old Dream Thief
In the last battle of the world, Saito and Yusuf both died in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, and only four people were left in the Inception team - Cobb, Arthur, Ames and Andrey.
Between them, there is obviously a set of emergency contacts, which can get them together very quickly.
But He Xie didn't master this method, so he used a method that everyone could think of - publishing in the newspaper.
When Cobb and the others saw the word "Meng Yi", they knew very well that it must be He Xie looking for them.
However, when they met again, their appearance surprised He Xie!
These four people look so much older!
The three men looked fine, except for wrinkles at the corners of their eyes and a little gray hair, except that Ames was limping and obviously lame.
But Andre has become an old lady with a ravine-faceted face and an old age!
"How did you end up like this?"
"He, why haven't you aged at all?"
Both exclaimed almost simultaneously.
He Xie couldn't hide the horror in his heart, he looked back at Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang who were looking at this side not far away, turned around, and said to the four with a solemn face: "Follow me!" β
The four of them also knew that this was not the place to speak, so they followed He Xie and walked out of the door.
Hu Bayi, who was not far away, stared at the back of He Xie and the others leaving, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "These people are not simple, looking at their walking posture, at least two of them have been soldiers." β
Shirley Yang said, "What do you care about him?" Anyway, the person he was waiting for has also arrived, so there's no reason to stay with you, right? The money was also returned to him, and we have nothing to do with him in the future. β
Hu Bayi sighed worriedly: "I'm afraid that it is easy to invite God, but it is difficult to send God......"
He Xie took the four of Cobb to a remote place on the corner of the street, and then stopped, he turned around, looked at the four of them again, and asked with a solemn face, "Why are you getting old?" Has this ever happened before? β
Cobb shook his head slowly, looking at He Xie deeply: "He, this question should be asked to you, why do we get old and you are still young?" β
"No, that's not the root of the problem!" Andre suddenly interrupted Cobb's words excitedly, staggered forward a few steps, grabbed He Xie's arm, and stared at He Xie's eyes, "He, tell me, is this a dream world?" β
Suddenly getting old, the blow to Andre is the biggest, a good flower girl inexplicably became an old woman, if this is just a dream world, because there will always be a day when you wake up from a dream, but if this world is really not a dream......
Andre didn't dare to think about it at all, she was full of fear, she couldn't accept such a reality at all, she would collapse!
He Xie was slightly silent, he didn't know what to say, he was also very suspicious that including the previous "Mythology" plane, and this plane, it was not a dream world at all, he had some vague guesses, but more of them were puzzled.
Just one point, his face is his face before his death, the face of the real evil, if it is not a dream, how can this be explained?
He Xie sighed: "Tell me about your discoveries." β
"We dream thieves will all have a unique totem to distinguish dreams from reality." The first to speak was Arthur, "But the totems of all of us show that this world is not a dream!" β
"According to the laws of the dream world, we should have fallen directly into the Lost Realm now." Cobb looked at He Xie seriously, "Because of the last disaster in the last world, it is impossible for us to survive!" But now we are in this world full of life, why? β
There is another reason why Cobb has not said it, that is, in his subconscious, there has always been an obsession, and this obsession will always bring great trouble to him in the dream, but this obsession has not appeared so far, and the only possibility is that this is not a dream at all!
"Details! Lots of details! Ames said excitedly, "If it is in the dream world, then all the people in the dream are the subconscious of the dream owner, and there will be no personality changes in a thousand ways!" And this world is so real, there is only one possibility, this is not a dream at all, right? β
Faced with the questions of the four people, He Xie still did not answer in the affirmative, but said slowly: "These evidences are enough to show that this world is not a dream at all, but you are still not sure, you still have doubts?" β
"Yes." Cobb said calmly, "The subconscious has real objects, or the subconscious mind changes the environment, these abilities we only have in dreams, and now they are weakened, but we can still use them, if the world is not a dream, how can this be explained?" Is it a superpower? β
"And our looks," Andre was still emotional, "is it a curse to grow old overnight?" Why is this happening? I can't believe it's not a dream! β
Arthur and Ames Moran.
There was a lot of evidence that this was not a dream world at all, but their looks, their abilities, bothered them, and they couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
Moreover, it is 1988, and the time is not right.
He Xie thought about it for a while, and finally decided to reveal some of the facts, as well as some of his guesses.
Compared to the evidence of the Inception team, he has more evidence that this world is a real world, not a dream at all!
"I'm sorry to tell you that this is not a dream." He Xie slowly spoke, looking around at everyone, "You can understand that we have traveled to a parallel world, or another universe. β
βJesusοΌ No......" Andre burst into tears on the spot and cried bitterly, she couldn't accept this reality.
"Why are you sure?" Cobb asked in a deep voice.
"Because your crossing, though not caused by me, is related to me." He Xie sighed and said.
"What the hell is going on?" Ames also became excited, "Can we go back?" β
"I'm sorry, I can't give you the answers to these two questions." He Xie said calmly.
In fact, He Xie could probably guess that this was a ghost made by the system, before this crossing, he didn't know that he had to fight against the rules of the heavens and all worlds when he came back from the dead, and the system never reminded him of this.
After he left the plane of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", he split into four without warning, and he also lost his self-consciousness on the plane of "Mythology".
It wasn't until he fused with Fisher and killed a white expanse that he realized that because his partial resurrection would lead to the devastating punishment of the rules, he could only deal with it in a hurry, which is why he was so miserable and embarrassed in the plane of "Mythology".
He Xie really fought against the rules from the world of "Mythology", but he had never been to the world of "Inception" at all, and his part of his real body was integrated into Fisher's body in "Inception".
Why is that?
