"Dr. Shen, I want to ask you a question."

In the base of the Tianji Bureau in the desert of Mobei, in the ESP laboratory that was not yet busy, Gu Jun was knocking on the side of Dr. Shen, this morning Tongye went to pick up the assessment team, so he was not there, and he finally found an opportunity to set Dr. Shen's words.

"What? Excuse me. "Dr. Shen is still so kind.

"I know that there has been research on 'lucid dreaming' in the ESP community." Gu Jun asked, and Wu Shiyu next to him was also listening, "I want to ask if there are any experiments and training related to dreams that can improve our mental power and extrasensory sense?" ”

Dr. Shen pushed the glasses on his nose and replied seriously, "Lucid dreaming is a big field. But I didn't arrange this kind of program for you in this special training, because after your mental training, you need real sleep to let the cerebral cortex rest well. Otherwise, it is harmful. If our research can continue, we will gradually allow you to try lucid dreaming. ”

"That ......" Gu Jun pondered how to ask, whenever he thought of that poster this month, he always had a strange and uneasy feeling.

"Listen attentively to the sound of dreams", the phrase stuck in his throat like a fishbone.

Wu Shiyu looked at him, grinning helplessly, really cowardly, she asked directly, "Dr. Shen, is it possible to receive any information from the dream?" It doesn't have to be transmitted by people, like a cosmic signal or something? ”

Gu Jun glanced at her, and said to her silently in his heart: You are very bad, can you hear it? Can you hear me?

Obviously, Wu Shiyu didn't hear it, and if he heard it, he probably pretended not to hear it.

"Shi Yu, Ah Jun." Dr. Shen smiled and sighed, "I understand that you guys are trying your best to improve your mental power and figure out ESP, but what. The current medical understanding of the human brain is very limited, and psychiatry and neurology are weak. Not to mention dreams and extrasensory perceptions, we don't even know the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. ”

Although his current work is to be studied, Gu Jun is also studying medicine, so he couldn't help but nod when he listened.

Alzheimer's disease is commonly known as Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disease that is the most common type of dementia in old age. However, since the first case was reported in the early 20th century, the global medical community has been studying this disease for hundreds of years, and countless large pharmaceutical companies and large laboratories have done countless studies.

The pathogenesis of the disease is still uncertain, ranging from genetics, parasites, prions, abnormal metabolism, ...... β-Amyloid Waterfall Hypothesis, Tau Protein Theory...... Low education, high blood pressure, high blood sugar...... I've tried everything, but I can't figure out the cause.

Gu Jun felt a little chill when he thought about it, because this was actually a very terrifying thing.

Is Alzheimer's disease contagious? This is still an unknown, and there are also research hypotheses in this area, and there is a certain possibility.

Even if it does, Alzheimer's disease is not explosively contagious, for the time being......

Otherwise, it could be a kind of coughing up blood for humans on Earth.

"So Tongye and I also crossed the river by feeling the stones." Dr. Shen said again, encouraging the two of them: "Don't be anxious, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, with your current mental strength, you should be able to cope with this assessment." ”

"No, Dr. Shen, you don't understand at all." Wu Shiyu said softly.

Gu Jun shrugged at her, don't ask yet, it seems that Dr. Shen doesn't know.

The two of them did not train this morning, but spent the morning in quiet meditation, with Dr. Shen letting them recharge.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the assessment team came to the base.

Dr. Shen led the problem team of three and a group of experimenters at the entrance of the medical building to greet Tongye and the other party.

Gu Jun saw a group of people striding towards him, and at a glance, he noticed that there were more than thirty people wearing the same uniform.

That's their opponent this time, the "Inspector Squad".

According to Dr. Shen's previous introduction and the internal information of the Tianji Bureau, this is a veteran mobile task force belonging to the headquarters, with about 30 regular members, all of whom are highly gnostic and proficient in psychology, mainly drawn from the Department of Medicine and the Evaluation Department.

This is because the Inspector Team is positioned to provide technical support in psychology, S-value testing, psychoanalysis, etc. When there is a large mission that requires the simultaneous deployment of several Mobile Task Forces and hundreds or thousands of Operations Department colleagues, the Inspector Team will join as an auxiliary team.

But this time, according to Tongye, these inspectors are here to kick the field.

Gu Jun glanced at them a few times, there were more than 30 people with men and women, all over 30 years old, and they were very bright and handsome in a uniform unique to the team. - In order to improve cohesion, some Mobile Task Forces can have their own uniforms, but problem squads cannot.

Everyone's eyes were calm and confident, and when they saw him looking, they all nodded their heads.

Tongye and several leaders of the assessment team stopped and pointed and talked about something, but from the entourage on the periphery, Gu Jun saw two old acquaintances.

One is Professor Qin, and the other is Yao Shinian, the former commander-in-chief of the emergency team of Gurong Village, whom he knew before entering the Banyan Cave.

"Professor Qin, Commander Yao." Gu Jun didn't care so much about it, and walked up to greet the two acquaintances.

"Ah Jun, after the last mission, I haven't had a chance to talk to you." Yao Shinian was full of white hair, and his slightly haggard old face was much older than the Yao Commander in Gu Jun's memory, "You just completed the task, and I sent you here for special training, it's hard work." ”

"Nothing." How dare Gu Jun say hard work in front of these two old men.

He had already seen that Professor Qin had also aged a lot, and his eyebrows were a little wrinkled, and he didn't have the calmness he had when he said goodbye to him a month ago.

"Professor Qin, is it okay over there in Dongzhou?" His heart sank, and he had a bad feeling.

"It's not good." Professor Qin suddenly sighed, full of tiredness, "Ah Jun, in the past week, the number of people who have committed suicide by jumping off a building in Dongzhou has increased fivefold, and the psychiatry and neurology departments of the hospital are crowded with patients who see a doctor. A new type of neurodegenerative disease has emerged, for which no effective treatment has been found, and the pathogenesis is not yet clear, and appears to be related to a contagious nightmare. ”

Gu Jun was cold, his eyes were slightly round, and the Alzheimer's disease that he had only feared in the morning came to his heart......

Contagious nightmares? What is the pathogenesis?

For some reason, he remembered the phrase on the poster, "Listen to the sound of dreams."
