"Captain Dewey..."

Char looked at the middle-aged man with an old-fashioned face and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

It was as if I had met a mean, stern boss.

This does not bode well.

"Char, let's go, I'll take you to the dormitory first, and put down the salute." Team Leader Dewey glanced at Char, turned around, and walked straight towards the elevator.

Dewey stood in front of the elevator and glanced up at the camera above, and the elevator doors opened.

Seeing Char's surprise, Dewey explained lukewarmly: "All the elevators in the Oneiroi Building are equipped with iris locks. All you need to do is look at the camera, and the AI will automatically recognize your permissions. Your activity area is limited to common areas and your room, and if the camera catches you moving in other areas, it will immediately disqualify you as an employee. ”

Char nodded, followed Dewey, and entered the elevator.

The elevator sped down to the thirty floors underground.

It turns out that there is still a huge space under the Oneiroi Building.

The elevator doors opened, and a clean street appeared in front of Char's eyes.

The streets are lined with shops and restaurants, as well as sports facilities such as bowling, gyms, basketball courts, etc.

It's just that the streets are empty, there is not a single pedestrian, it looks like a ghost town.

"This is Public Area One." Dewey said, "It's also the area where you can move right now." The total area here is equivalent to one neighborhood in Hope City. All the services and amenities are included, so you can spend as much as you like here. It covers all the needs of people from birth to death. If you want, you don't even have to leave the Mansion of Hope to go out into the world. ”

"It's work time, the employees are working, and it's going to be lively when the end of the day." Dewey added and let Char into the elevator.

This time the elevator went up to the twenty-seventh basement floor.

The elevator doors open to reveal a narrow corridor with a red carpet.

The hallway is flanked by silver doors with gold numbers from 1 to 99 written on them.

This scene reminded Char of the cheap apartments in the lower cities.

Although the corridor is neat, the golden walls look luxurious, and there is no musty smell in the air, it is just as small and crowded, and it has the characteristic suffocation and oppression of underground space.

Dewey brought Char to the door of room 77 and pressed the thumb of his right hand against the fingerprint lock.

There was a soft snap.

The door opened softly.

"27th floor, room 77, this is your room. Don't go wrong. Dewey strode into the room, snapped his fingers, and the porch light turned on. At the same time, the exhaust fan emits a slight roar, replacing the slightly dirty air in the room with a fresh air with the scent of earth. ”

The room is a one-bedroom, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, with an area of only sixty or seventy square meters, which is not much larger than Char's previous residence, but the room has all kinds of household appliances.

Dewey walked to the side of the living room, and the blackout curtains automatically opened, revealing the floor-to-ceiling windows behind them.

Outside the window is a blue sea, seagulls are flying in the air, and a few pedestrians are walking along the embankment.

It's an extremely beautiful landscape.

"Am I not underground?"

Char was stunned, and after a while, he realized that the floor-to-ceiling window was a holographic screen, and he could switch different views at will.

"The luggage is right here, and I'll take you to the office to meet the other colleagues." Dewey was expressionless and closed the curtains.

Later, the two got on the elevator again.

This time, the elevator went straight to the fourteenth floor above ground.

The 14th floor is an office with a few windows.

A beautiful girl in a light blue shirt and a black pencil skirt walked over with a document in her hand and smiled at Dewey: "Team leader, there is a document here that you need to sign. ”

"Hmm."

Dewey nodded, took a marker from his jacket pocket, and signed his name on the paper.

"Team leader, he's..."

The girl's curious eyes fell on Char and asked softly.

"His name is Char, he just joined the company today, and from today on, you will be colleagues." Dewey introduced.

"My name is Ava." The girl's pale golden eyes stared at Char, and her beautiful face like an angel showed a friendly smile, and she stretched out her hand to him quite heartily.

"When we first met, my name was Char." Char reached out and shook Ava's hand.

Although it was only for a moment, Char had a feeling of being overpowered.

Ava also quickly retracted her hand, her cheeks were slightly red, and she smiled: "The two of us are quite calling." ”

"Ava, you take Char to his desk." After Dewey's order, he turned around and walked into a nearby office.

"Desk, I've cleaned it up for you."

Ava walked ahead and led Char to a desk.

There were many partitions in the big office, and twenty or thirty employees were burying their heads in their work, and when they heard the report of a newcomer, they all raised their heads and cast friendly glances at Char.

"What kind of department is this, and why are the employees all beautiful women?"

Char was slightly stunned, feeling a little incredible.

In the entire large office, Char is the only male.

Char sat in his place, facing the computer screen, his mind blank.

He didn't know what he was supposed to do.

"Why my hand..."

Char looked down at his hands and noticed that the palms had become translucent.

He raised his right hand to block it, but his eyes looked through the palm of his hand to see Ava smiling at him.

.......

in the conference room.

Dewey held a steaming cup of coffee and looked up at the big screen.

In the screen, Char is sitting in his position, looking at a loss.

Dewey slowly turned around and said to the three middle-aged men in white research coats behind him, "He is Char, the survivor of Fort William." Dr. Morpheus has specifically explained that he may be a reader and has the potential to become a dream builder. The three team leaders, you have all seen with your own eyes, this young man named Char did not show obvious characteristics. I can't take him. He had to leave my department and become an ordinary employee. ”

"Well, I agree with Team Leader Dewey."

"There is no one in ten thousand who has the talent of a dream builder. What's more, he is not a genetically optimized and trained adapter. ”

"Then let him be an ordinary employee. In short, Dr. Morpheus has told him to keep him in the Oneiroi Group as much as possible, in our hands. ”

The other three group leaders nodded their heads in agreement.

But at this moment, Char on the screen suddenly had an abnormal behavior.

I saw Char suddenly pick up the computer screen and slam it on the window, and in the frightened eyes and shouts of everyone, he jumped out of the 14th floor!

Shockingly, Char's body fell to the ground and was not shattered.

The neat street suddenly cracked, and a black crack appeared, swallowing Char inside.

Everything is back to business as usual.

Even the windows on the 14th floor that Char smashed were intact.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, employees work in front of their computers, their faces as if nothing had happened.

In the office, the four team leaders, including Dewey, looked at the scene on the screen with shocked expressions.
