"It's so strange, are you hitting a ghost?" Zheng Wei, who was sitting on the chair the next morning, said in surprise after listening to Liao Yu's description.

"That's why I brought it to you today, your skills are better than mine, in case I didn't find out anywhere."

Liao Yu responded tiredly, he had not been able to rest well recently, and he couldn't sleep last night. He walked to his seat and sat down, and took Zheng Wei's snacks in his hand.

"It should ...... I didn't lose any confidential things, although some of the data I copied on my computer, but it was some basic data, and more technical core code was not brought back in the hospital, and no one wanted those investment materials. ”

Zheng Wei glanced up at Liao Yu and said, "That's not necessarily, what we lost is not a small amount." If it weren't for Lu Wenlong's sudden and mysterious death, the property would not have disappeared, and we would not have ....... ”

Zheng Wei paused for a moment, he stared at Liao Yu's bloodshot eyes, pursed his lips, and finally patted Liao Yu on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now." I'll show you when I have time, take it easy, maybe you're really wrong. ”

"I hope so, the debt over there is tight, and I sometimes think that if I sell the house, I will pay off the recent debt first, so as to free up funds to buy medicine."

"Don't do it, just buy it and sell it soon, you don't lose money, are you still going to ask for the permission attached to the house."

Zheng Wei glanced at Liao Yu coldly, and now in the twenty-second century, the government has launched a complete set of systems that bind individuals around permission values. The determination of authority value is related to various information such as property, social contribution, and integrity value, which is related to all aspects of people's lives, and the precious medicine that Liao Yu has a headache for is one of them.

As soon as he thought of the permission value, Liao Yu immediately remembered the sentence in his message that he had already been familiar with.

"Based on your current status, there are 6 years, 4 months, and 21 days left until your next elevation."

Liao Yu sighed, and said quietly: "It's not forced, there is no way, who knows that this time it is really a disaster, otherwise even if the investment fails, it is just a little tighter, how can it be as sad as now." I just feel a little disappointed by my family's expectations now, and I have broken my good hand. ”

"Do your best, the medicine for organ aging is not in a hurry, the doctor didn't say that it will be the same in a few years, I have to buy it for my parents." Now it is not a problem for normal people to live to 100 years, don't worry, take care of yourself first. ”

Liao Yu sighed again and said, "The sooner you use this medicine, the better, and the original plan was to buy it for my parents around this year......

Zheng Wei glared at Liao Yu, and his tone improved slightly: "So what, you have a problem with your immune system now." If your mother dies someday, will your family be happy? We still barely have enough permission to get that medicine easily, but many people on the ground don't even have a chance. You are selling now, when will you be able to buy a suitable house again, improve the authority. ”

Zheng Wei and Liao Yu have been friends for many years, and their words are much more straightforward.

Regarding the authority value, Liao Yu, who has long been married, is much more familiar with it than Zheng Wei, who is alone. The cause of his own illness has never been found, but his immunity has been declining. Without knowing the cause, Liao Yu had to choose extremely expensive limited drugs. However, due to the extremely low yield of this drug, the allocation has to be based on the permission value.

Once one's authority is reduced, not only will the opportunity to get medicine be greatly reduced, but also the medical subsidy will be reduced. Whether you buy this medicine or buy a medicine for your parents to delay organ aging, the price will rise sharply.

It's just that......

At this moment, Liao Yu's mobile phone happened to receive a short message.

"Mr. Liao Yu, we have no intention of disturbing your rest time, but kindly remind you that your last repayment has been overdue for three days, for the sake of your credit and authority value, we hope that you will prepare the repayment amount in advance before the arrival of this repayment date."

Liao Yu's heart was nameless, and he subconsciously wanted to delete this information.

However, in the end, Liao Yu was silent for only two seconds, and then put away his phone without changing his face.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's work."

Even in the year 2200, the work of the hospital is still very busy, although with the help of intelligent machinery, but due to the impact of the population explosion, Liao Yu and Zheng Wei did not have the opportunity to meet in the office until before leaving work.

"Noon, hmm, I'll give it to you, hmm, take a look." Zheng Wei chewed on high-calorie strawberry bread while pointing to the computer and explaining to Liao Yu. "I didn't have time to eat lunch, don't panic, wait for me to drink saliva."

Liao Yu didn't respond, and pulled over the chair and sat aside.

Zheng Wei finished stuffing the bread with five times and dividing it by two, then turned his head and stared at Liao Yu's eyes seriously and said, "Are you sure that all the scenes you told me last night were not overlooked?" ”

"Huh?" Liao Yu heard the meaning of Zheng Wei's words.

"I haven't been able to find out the abnormal data record, and the conclusion is the same as yours, but it's ......" Zheng Wei paused for a second, and then said slowly, "Your computer has no record of booting up at all during the time period you mentioned." ”

"What?" Liao Yu was stunned by this news, and he had a preconceived idea that there was a hacker attack, so he didn't pay attention to this record at all.

"Although it is possible that the other party is higher than both of us, and the record has been deleted, but ...... You haven't been connected lately, so it's a bit unreasonable to plan months in advance for a prank. ”

Zheng Wei pondered the words, and after he finished speaking, the room fell silent for a while.

"Maybe it's really my hallucination." After a long time, Liao Yu closed his eyes and said tiredly.

"That's it, you leave the computer here for me, and I'll take a look at how you're doing lately." Zheng Wei changed the subject.

"Body...... Okay, a little dizzy occasionally. Recently, I've been taking time out to practice martial arts, so let's have some peace of mind. Liao Yu couldn't help but think of the nightmare that he had often dreamed of recently.

As soon as the words fell, Liao Yu suddenly remembered something, and immediately said: "By the way, just now A Luo informed me that I will go to Longjiang Province to participate in some academic seminar in the next few days, and you will be alone again."

"Okay, then you go back early, don't let your wife say that I detained you."

"Hmm." Liao Yu answered, sat in the chair for a few more seconds, and then walked straight to the door with his head in his hands.

"Be careful on the way to work, don't go and don't come back." Zheng Wei sat in a chair staring at the code on the screen and shouted with his back to Liao Yu.

"Got it."

Back home.

"I'm back." Luo Ying walked out of the kitchen and glanced at Liao Yu, who had just entered the door. "Nothing happened at home yesterday."

"Hmm...... It's okay, what can happen. Liao Yu hesitated, but still planned not to tell Luo Ying about yesterday's strange things, so as not to worry her. The hospital is still the same? ”

"Well, it's just some routine check-ups, my parents have gone back, let's eat." Luo Ying began to serve food outside.

"Hmm."

A few days later, Liao Yu, who had just gotten off the plane, hurriedly walked into the pick-up vehicle, his face was pale and difficult to hide.

"Are you alright?" The colleagues who came with him naturally noticed Liao Yu's abnormality.

"It's okay, maybe I ate something this time and ended up a little airsick. Rest assured, it will definitely not affect my participation in the meeting. Liao Yuqiang responded with a smile, secretly praying in his heart not to get sick, if it affects the quarterly bonus, it will really make it worse.

However, it backfired, along the way, Liao Yu's discomfort not only did not weaken, but became more and more serious, his whole body began to heat up, and double images began to flash in front of his eyes.

Liao Yu, who was in a daze, arrived at the hotel and forcibly sent a video to the person in charge here, saying that he had arrived at the hotel safely and would definitely attend the meeting on time. Then he immediately took the general antipyretic medicine with the necessary medical system of the hotel, set up the bathing program, dragged his body into the bathroom, and lay down in the bathtub groggy.

……

"Oh no, I won't sleep, don't delay...... Wrong! As soon as Liao Yu, who slowly woke up, his heart jumped and he realized that something was wrong, he didn't seem to be in the bathtub, and there was a warm and slightly elastic touch coming from under him.

And as his emotions fluctuated, his body muscles instinctively stiffened, and Liao Yu knew that it was pointless to continue pretending to be asleep, so he simply opened his eyes slowly, trying to distinguish the current situation.

"This!" When Liao Yu recognized the environment he was in, his face immediately changed, and he slowly got up from the ground with a solemn expression.

What appeared in front of Liao Yu was a completely closed room, without any furniture, doors and windows, and only pink walls of different shades on all sides, such a strange color made Liao Yu instinctively resist. As he stared at the walls, he could even visibly feel the tumbling inside his stomach.

"What do you want?"

Liao Yu asked in a deep voice, everything at the moment was beyond the scope of pranks. In the twenty-second century, where human rights are valued, trespassing on private space and forcibly abducting citizens has become a serious offence. Liao Yu felt that since the other party had taken such a risk, it must not be untargeted.

It's a pity that there is a dead silence in the room, and the other party doesn't seem to want to communicate with him after he wakes up.

For some reason, Liao Yu's intuition always reminded him that everything in front of him seemed to be related to the mysterious dreams he had often dreamed about recently, even though on the surface, the dim and endless dreams were far from the bright and closed room under him.

Liao Yu slowly looked at the surrounding environment, and the posture of his hands changed from holding his chest at first to hanging to his sides, so as to secretly use his fingers to check whether there were wounds on his arms and chest.

Thinking back to the feeling he had just woken up, Liao Yu felt more and more that he did not wake up naturally, but more like something directly stimulated his brain, causing his brain to send specific nerve signals to force him to wake up. So he suspected that he had been implanted with a chip to control himself.

However, after a while, Liao Yu did not find any wounds on his body, he pondered for a few seconds and quickly made a decision, and walked towards the wall, perhaps everything in front of him was just a special effect made with the help of projection technology, and the other party wanted to disturb his mind. Today's special effects have reached the point where they are so fake that specific laws have been introduced to restrict the use of special effects technology.

Liao Yu stared at the strange pink wall closely, slowly looking at the room from top to bottom, and even squatted down to observe the ground. Whether it is the junction between the wall and the ceiling, or the joint with the ground, Liao Yu has not found any traces of splicing.

Liao Yu stood up little by little, and seeing that the other party still hadn't responded, he gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk of trying to touch the wall, which was extremely uncomfortable for him.

At the moment when his palm pressed against the wall, there was a tough and heavy touch coming from his palm, and even Liao Yu vaguely felt a trace of heat from it. As his fingertips slowly swiped across the small half of the wall, he couldn't find any skin-like vents in the lab, or any gaps in the opening of secret doors, from the slightly undulating walls.

"The building is integral, the materials are self-luminous, and there is gas exchange, and there is no access to the house......"

Liao Yu listed the information that he could get in front of him in his heart, and within the scope of his cognition, he was afraid that at this stage, there was no technology that could achieve the degree of closure of the room in front of him. Even he had an unrealistic idea in his heart, this wall, even this room...... It seems to be alive.

He closed his eyes and began to reminisce about this time, trying to find some clues from it.

At this moment, the room, which had not moved for a long time, finally responded. Flames began to appear out of thin air in the middle of the room, and the flickering flames in the air formed a strange and chilling passage:

"Congratulations on being chosen into Hantang, a place where dreams and desires are realized, where body and soul are intertwined and separated. It is only in the adventures of space and time that living beings can recognize their true selves. Whatever you ask for will be your reward in the future. Do you choose to accept entry? ”

As the handwriting appeared one by one, Liao Yu's mood fluctuated like a roller coaster. Liao Yu looked up and down the position of the handwriting for the first time, and there was no projection equipment or any ignition device.

"Why me."

However, as before, Liao Yu still did not get an answer from the other party.

After waiting for a long time, Liao Yu saw that there was no other movement, so he simply took a step, walked carefully around these lines of text, and even got a little closer to observe, and sniffed the smell with a fan.

"There is no trace of combustibles, there is no smell of combustion, not even the temperature has changed, this is ...... Illusion? ”

Liao Yu hesitated and moved his hand closer, trying to feel the temperature of the flames more closely. However, something that made his heart skip a beat, and the flame that formed the words suddenly branched out and wrapped the threads around his fingers, and in an instant wrapped his entire left hand.

Liao Yu didn't have time to be surprised at how such a realistic illusion was done, and something that made him even more creepy followed. The left hand wrapped in the flames began to reveal the blood vessels and meridians under the skin little by little, and Liao Yu seemed to be observing his right hand through an orange X-ray.

Liao Yu controlled his involuntarily stiff body and pulled his left hand back little by little. As he withdrew his left hand, the flames writhed and reverted to their original form.

He looked up cautiously at the words of the flame that had calmed down again before carefully examining his left hand. However, no matter how he looked at it, it was as if everything that had just happened did not exist.

And at this moment, just as he was staring at this line of flame writing, a list suddenly appeared in front of him. Liao Yu was startled, and subconsciously reached out to wave away the words, only to realize that this image was directly projected on his retina.

"Necromancy, Martial Arts Training, Genetic Modification, Star Wars Nuclear-Powered Cruisers, Sword of Apophis......"

Liao Yu swept these words one by one, and his heart was suspicious. When Liao Yu was stunned, those words gradually disappeared as if they had never appeared.

Looking at the blood-red hook at the bottom of the flame text, Liao Yu's heart sank.

"Can't refuse?"

"If you don't want to accept it, just silently recite the thought of rejection three times in your mind, and all your corresponding memories will be erased, and you will be sent back to the original world."

Liao Yu had just mentioned this idea, and a piece of information suddenly surged into his mind.

"Erase memory...... Based on current technological theories, this should be damaging to the brain. ”

Liao Yu thought about it while he had already silently recited it twice in his heart, but just as he was about to recite it for the third time, he vaguely remembered the list that had just emerged in his mind, in which the words "organ repair medicine" and "genetic improvement engineering" were unusually abruptly occupying the middle position of his consciousness.

After a moment of dead silence, Liao Yu pointed his finger at the flame text.

With the touch of his fingertips, Liao Yu lost consciousness again.

When Liao Yu regained consciousness, he was already lying in a dilapidated hotel room.

Liao Yu struggled to sit up from the bed, reaching out and kneading his forehead and chest, and there was a completely different feeling in the two places. The nauseous dizziness of his head and the heat in his chest made him feel as if he had just stepped out of the virtual pod and was immediately thrust into the furnace.

"What was stuffed in your chest, the surgery you performed in the room just now?" Before Liao Yu could carefully feel the changes in his body, he was attracted by the old wall clock on the wall.

"Such an old wall clock is probably almost extinct in today's society."

Liao Yu looked around at the small poor room, the walls and bedding had accumulated a thick layer of dust, and the yellowed and damp sheets showed that the owner of the inn obviously did not care much about the guest experience. The traces of random attachment on the wall made Liao Yu feel a little sick, and he couldn't stop thinking of how those guests spilled these liquids on the wall, and when he looked down, he found that there were still many aborigines in the room crawling busily on the ground.

Although he had accepted the reality that Hantang was higher than his own world's technology, but in the blink of an eye, he was teleported to a strange world that might not even be on Earth, and Liao Yu was still shocked beyond words.

Suddenly, a cold, mechanical voice sounded in his heart.

"Time: 2004."

"Location: New York, United States."

"Mission background: The presidents of the United States were resurrected by a paranoid citizen with black magic, and they vowed to destroy the country they had built single-handedly. Now the people's faith has begun to be confused, the number of casualties is skyrocketing, and superheroes such as Iron Man Tony Stark and Captain Rogers cannot intervene to stop it. In order to reduce casualties, solve the disaster of the zombie president early. ”

"Mission: Exorcise the necromancy of at least four of the eight presidents of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Howard Taft, Lincoln, Reagan, and Hua Shengton in seven days, and wipe them out if they fail!"
