Chapter 22: The Dream Journey
Two minutes later, Kerr drew a three-dimensional maze and gave it to Daum, who still hadn't solved it, so Kerr was given the job.
In a café on a street somewhere in Paris, Daum and Thea were talking. "In this world, there is a device that allows people to enter other people's dreams, and people are very awake in their dreams, whether they have sight, they can hear, they can feel pain, in short, everything they do can be remembered clearly. Some people can even steal other people's secrets in their dreams. Daum explained.
"Are you a dream thief?" Kerr asked. Although he already knew.
"Yes." Daum admitted it calmly.
At this time, Thea asked, "Then why did you come to us for, this architecture doesn't seem to have anything to do with it?" ”
"We don't know how the dream came about, but you must be able to see the picture in the dream, there may be a house, a road, a car in the dream. Since we can enter the dream, we can change the buildings in the dream, or create a dream in between. That's why I'm looking for you. ”
"So you need us to make dreams?" Kerr asked.
"That's right, the more realistic the dream, the better it is for us. Just like now, you don't feel like you're in a dream, do you? Daum asked.
After Daum finished speaking, Thea suddenly realized something, "We are in a dream? ”
"A good way to tell if you're in a dream is to think about how we got here." Daum said to Thea.
"When we left school, we just..." Thea replied, but she couldn't remember how she got here, and Thea became nervous. Suddenly, the surroundings were shaking, the cup on the table fell to the ground and shattered, and then the floor tiles, glass, everything around it began to explode, and in the explosion Daum and Kerr did not panic, knowing that the explosion would not hurt themselves.
The dream shattered, and the three woke up. The three of them are now in an empty factory, and as soon as Thea woke up, she ran to the bathroom, and Kerr didn't react much, and after seeing Thea running to the bathroom, she also walked over because she was worried.
Daum looked at Kerr, who did not react, and was very shocked, Kerr seemed to know that he was in a dream just now, without any panic, which made Daum wonder if Kerr had experienced such a thing.
Kerr went to the bathroom and saw Thea really flustered washing her face with water to sober herself. Kerr took out a tissue and handed it to Thea, who took the tissue and began to wipe her face.
"Kerr, it's so real, it's even more than Le..." Thea didn't say anything, looked around, and then whispered, "It's more real than paradise." Kerr gave Thea a haircut and said, "It is true, if I hadn't known in advance that it was a dream, I would have thought it was true." And I found that only five minutes passed between the time we entered the dream and the time we woke up, and at least two hours passed in the dream. Kerr looked at the watch.
"You already knew it was a dream? What's going on? Thea asked, confused.
Kerr replied, "I investigated this Daum while you were doing the test, and learned his identity and intentions. ”
"That's why you're taking this job?" Thea asked.
"That's right, this world is not so simple, I won't just give up on such a device, this is a very good pioneer." "But didn't you say that you can't influence the world too much?" Thea asked. "It's not too much of an impact, and even if we don't accept the job, Daum will still find the Dream Maker. It's better for us to accept and find a way to get that quilt. "Then why not just steal the device?" Isn't it better? Thea asked, "That's the real impact, and if we steal the equipment, their actions will be greatly affected." Kerr explained, and Kerr looked at the time and said, "Okay, let's get over there, they might be suspicious." ”
Kerr and Thea walked back, while Daum and Arthur were talking, and when they saw Kerr and Thea coming, they stopped talking. Daum said to Kerr and Thea, "Are you feeling okay?" ”
"It's not bad, it's much better after washing your face." Thea replied.
Seeing that Thea was fine, Daum continued: "It's like this the first time, why don't we do it again, this time you can experience what it's like to create a world." ”
Kerr and Thea gladly accepted and lay down on the bed, Arthur pulled a needle from the device and plunged it into the veins of the three of them, and then the three of them came back to the familiar street of Paris.
"Theoretically, in a dream can change any scene, even subvert the laws of physics, as long as you can imagine, you can try to imagine what you want to change this street." Daum explained that now he was going to teach Kerr and Thea how to change their dreams.
Under Thea's command, the street shook suddenly, widening continuously, and the whole street doubled. "I'll just say, the streets here are narrower, wouldn't it be much better if they were widened?" Thea looked at the widening street and said excitedly. Thea thought this was too much fun.
Thea continued to change the dream, only to see his hand suddenly go up, and all the houses were brushed up in unison, rising wildly, and branching out like plants. Thea had a lot of fun, directing the buildings with her hands to constantly change, and finally formed an intricate space.
"Why are all these people looking at Thea?" Kerr noted the problem.
Daum explained, "These people are my subconscious, because Thea has changed her dreams so much that she has become hostile to her, and they will kill you if they decide that you are an intruder who is dangerous to me." ”
"Kill it, kill it, it's not really death anyway." Thea said detachedly.
Daum continued, "It's not really dead, but it's still painful, and I'm sure you don't want to try it. ”
Thea didn't listen to Daum and continued to transform the world. Thea lifted her hands up, and the ground beneath their feet suddenly rose, leading them to the upper disorganized space.
On top of this, some of the buildings are horizontal, a little oblique, and the people in the buildings are also crooked, completely out of gravity. The dream was changed more and more chaotically, Thea suddenly raised her hands flat, parted to the sides, and then the ground split into two halves with the sound of cracking, and as the earth continued to separate, the earth was separated.
"Thea, stop, this dream is going to be shattered!" Daum shouted at Thea. Everything seems to be shaking.
At this time, Kerr saw countless people rushing towards them, and it seemed that the subconscious thought that Thea was an intruder, so Kerr immediately pulled Thea to escape, and he couldn't run far. So they ran to the edge of the cliff. Suddenly, a woman in a long red dress approached Kerr and Thea at non-human speed, and was about to stab Thea in the body with the knife in her hand.
Seeing this scene, Daum exclaimed, "Mel, don't! The woman in red didn't pay any attention to it. At this time, Thea was already stupid, and when the danger really came, Thea felt very frightened.
Just as the knife was about to stab Thea in the chest, Kerr pulled Thea behind him, and the knife stabbed Kerr in the chest, causing Kerr to lose consciousness and wake up. Thea was stunned when she saw the knife stabbed into Kerr's chest, and then screamed, although Thea's subconscious knew that Kerr was not really dead, but it was still very heartbroken.
When the woman in red drew her knife and was about to stab Thea, Daum pushed Thea off the cliff, and then jumped off the cliff himself, and Thea and Daum woke up as the feeling of falling came.
Kerr, who woke up first, saw the frightened Thea wake up, gasped for breath, and immediately came to Thea's side to check if she was okay. Thea woke up and sat up from the bed, saw Kerr sitting on the edge of her bed, and immediately threw herself into Kerr's arms, the scene just now really scared her to death.
