Chapter Twenty-Three: Chaos in Dreams

Kerr held Thea in his arms, feeling her fear, and comforted, "It's just a dream, it's all fake." Okay, okay, don't worry. While Kerr comforted Thea, Daum woke up very badly, went to another room, spun a spinning top on the table, and was relieved when the top stopped spinning. After Daum left, Arthur followed.

"Well, it doesn't look very smooth." Arthur inquired about the situation.

Daum frowned and said, "What do you say?" This girl is very talented and learns quickly, but her mind is so detached from reality that I don't know if she can create a real dream. ”

"What about Kerr?" Arthur asked, seeing that Daum didn't mention Kel.

Daum was silent for a moment before replying, "I can't see through this person, I don't feel like he's the first person to experience this kind of thing, he's acting too calm." ”

"So what do we do next?" Arthur asked.

"From tomorrow onwards, you start teaching the two of them to build labyrinths in dreams, and I'm going to find Mombasa to find Eames, who is the best pretender. Also, the two of them need a totem. I'll go first. "The Dream Maker's problem is basically solved, and he is going to find the Pretender and the Apothecary.

After Daum left, Arthur came to the side of the two Kerr, and Thea's mood had recovered. Arthur said to the two Kerr, "From tomorrow onwards, I will teach you how to build a real dream, rest assured, there will be no danger, and you will not be frightened in any way." Also, you need a totem. ”

"What is a totem?" Kerr asked.

Arthur explained: "The totem is a relatively heavy small object, you carry it with you, something that others don't know, it has to be a special thing, as long as you look at your totem you know if you are in someone else's dream." After Arthur finished speaking, he showed his totem to the two Kerr, and the two Kerr understood.

"Arthur, do you know who Mel is?" Kerr asked.

Arthur stopped what he was doing and asked, "How do you know this name, you saw her in your dream?" ”

"She was the one who killed me in my dreams." Kerr said.

Arthur's expression suddenly became unnatural, "Mel is Daum's wife, who committed suicide a few years ago. Because Daum is very self-remorseful, Ms. Mel will often appear in his dreams and sabotage Daum's actions. ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that." Kerr said apologetically.

"No need to say sorry to me. Actually, Mel hit me with a pistol in a dream. It's Daum's business, so let him handle it. Arthur said.

"By the way, why did I fall off a cliff and wake up before I fell to my death?" Thea asked suddenly. "At this time, because of the feeling of falling, people will also wake up, and in the process of stealing dreams, we often use music and falling to make people wake up from dreams."

In the evening, when he returned to the hotel, Kerr thought about what happened in the dream during the day, in which he did not expect that the knife of the woman in red could stab him in the body, you must know that he has defensive equipment on his body, and he can't even penetrate bullets, and it is said to be an ordinary knife. "It seems that in the dream, the equipment in the paradise is unusable." Kerr said to himself, the setting of dreams in this world is really special, and there are totems, does it really work?

Thea, who was lying on the bed, was also thinking about what happened in the dream during the day, but Thea was thinking about the thing that Kerr helped him block the knife in the dream. That scene was replayed in Thea's mind over and over again, and Thea had been very entangled in a question, so Thea came to Kerr's room and climbed onto Kerr's bed.

"What's wrong, Thea? What's uncomfortable? When Kerr saw Thea climb into his bed, he hurriedly moved with lightning and moved on the bed to distance himself from Thea. But Thea didn't give Kerr a chance at all, and rolled over, hugged Kerr's waist directly, and stuck it in Kerr's arms.

Wen Yu fell into his arms, although it was very cool, but Kerr didn't dare to move at all, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, my good sister." ”

"Kerr, if someone in Paradise stabbed me like he did in my dream today, would you help me stop it like you did today?"

"Of course you will, you can't stab someone to death with a knife in Paradise, you know, I have three layers of armor." Kerr smiled and said half-jokingly.

Thea asked for such an answer, and the angry Thea directly grabbed the tender meat on Kerr's waist, "What kind of armor, did you mean it!" There is no such mess! Kerr, who was called out, hurriedly called out the wrong one, "Don't pull it, don't pull it, auntie, I was wrong!" ”

Thea, who was merciful to his subordinates, said, "Don't say it yet." ”

Kerr became serious and said, "Even if you know that I will die, I will help you with this knife." ”

Hearing this answer, Thea's eyes immediately moistened, and he hugged Kerr tightly with both hands, and the doubts in his heart immediately disappeared. "You are my dearest person in that world, and I will always protect you and raise you." Kerr also hugged Thea and whispered in Thea's ear.

Xiya, who was moved, sobbed and said intermittently: "Thank you, brother, it's good to have you by my side all the time!" Slowly, Thea fell asleep in Kerr's arms, this time Kerr did not carry Thea back to her room, but kept this position, Kerr looked at Thea who fell asleep in his arms and whispered: "Thea, it's good to have you by my side!" ”

The next day, Thea woke up first, saw that she was sleeping in Kerr's arms, remembered what she had said in Kerr's arms yesterday, immediately blushed, broke away from Kerr's arms, covered Kerr with the quilt, and returned to her room. Kerr opened his eyes and smiled after Thea left.

After washing up, Kerr and Thea went to Arthur's place to start training, with knowledge beyond the world, and superb talent, Kerr and Thea's training went smoothly, and they were able to build a completely flawless dream. Arthur also called this the fastest person he had ever met, and at the same time Kerr and Thea had also made a totem, they were all a key, although they looked the same, but they were different, and only they knew the details.

Three days later, Daum returned, bringing back Imes, the pretender, a man of great humor, as well as a fat pharmacist named Yusuf and their employer, Saito. Their ability to perform in dream-making was recognized by everyone, so the two quickly mingled with these people, and at the same time learned from Saito the goal and purpose of this operation.

Kerr didn't expect them to want to implant an idea in their dreams, which seemed impossible to him even in Paradise. The target of this operation is Fisher, the heir to Fisher Merro Energy Group, and they need to implant the idea of breaking up the group in Fisher's brain. This group is about to form a monopoly on the energy market, and they will soon control half of the world's energy supply, becoming a new superpower, which will be a very terrifying thing, and Saito's energy company is the last company that can stop it. Although Kerr is not interested in the struggles of this world, he has to understand these things in order to create a good dream.

When it came to the pay, Kerr offered that he and Thea would not want money, but two Inception devices as payment, and Saito, although a little confused, agreed to Kerr's request. Things are all in order, with Eames, the pretender, in charge of observing Fisher and the people around him, and gathering information. Kerr, Thea, and Arthur are responsible for creating three different layers of dreams, Yusuf is responsible for stabilizing the three layers of dreams, and Daum is responsible for the entire planning.

"In the first dream, we kidnapped Fisher, gave him some hints, discussed their father-son relationship, and made him think that 'my father didn't want me to inherit his clothes'. Then it is taken to the lower dreams, which reinforces the idea that 'I have built my own career'. Finally, in the final layer of dreams, Fisher formed the idea that 'my father didn't want me to be like him'. Daum explained the plan to the others in a dream that was built on the streets of a city, not far from the building of the group founded by Fisher's father.
