"Director, about this incident, ......" Qiao Sen sorted out his thoughts for a while, and said slowly: "First of all, what we need most at the moment is intelligence. The true identity of the so-called 'Dream Lord' is still unknown, and we must first find out what the other party's identity is, what is its strength, and what is the purpose' of the other party!"

"yes!"

As Jossen said. ”

The officers of the various sections of the garrison all nodded in agreement.

"So what?" there was a bang, and the chief of the garrison slapped the desk hard to make the office quiet all of a sudden, and then asked with a gloomy face: "Of course these old men know, the question is how to get information now?!

"Ahem, about this......" Qiao Sen sighed and continued to take the initiative, "Actually, we are not completely without clues. ”

The chief of the garrison's gloomy face softened slightly, and looked at Qiao Sen expectantly and motioned for him to explain quickly.

"Director, take a look at this first. Jossen pulled out a roll of newspaper, placed it on the desk of the chief of security, and pointed to the eye-catching headline on it.

"This is a small newspaper called "Good Mood", which was sold in the last issue of the weekly publication. ”

The chief of the garrison picked up the newspaper and read it, and his face suddenly changed.

The content of the news in that issue of the newspaper was obviously about the large number of citizens who had caused turmoil among the people of the empire in the past week, and who had fallen into a crisis of covering up the number one of the garrisons, who were suspected of being bewitched by the so-called "master of dreams" into joining the evil cult in the name of "dreaming".

Moreover, it seems that this is a reporter's personal experience of the dream world written from his perspective as a 'dreamer'!

"How did this come about?" the chief of the garrison asked Qiao Sen after reading the newspaper.

"This past week, similar newspapers have been available at roadside newsstands. Jossen shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've investigated, many small newspapers throughout the empire have sold newspapers similar to this kind of news six or seven days ago, although the content of the articles is a little different in detail, but the overall theme is almost exactly the same, they are all about the experience of this so-called 'Dream Lord' and that 'Dream World'! ”

"Damn!" the chief of the garrison suddenly slammed the table in anger and asked, "These newspapers, if I read them correctly, are they all a few days ago?

"Director, you misunderstood, these newspapers are only from some private tabloids, and their sales are very unsatisfactory, and not many people pay too much attention to them on weekdays, and the empire is also very light on the censorship process of such small newspapers that have little influence......"

"Huh...... After listening to Qiao Sen's explanation, the chief of the garrison sneered contemptuously and said, "It's really ridiculous! The person in charge of censorship actually let it go and let it be published, and you told me that it was just because the censorship process was relatively light?"

"Ahem......" Qiao Sen looked a little embarrassed and did not answer the words.

He also understood the sarcasm in the Chief of Police's words, and it was clear that the reason for this was nothing more than that the person in charge of the censorship had been bribed to allow such an obviously problematic newspaper to be published.

However, that is no longer an issue that he should meddle in and belongs to other areas of authority, and naturally there will be someone in charge of internal supervision to deal with it, and he does not need to worry about it as a police officer of the garrison bureau in charge of urban security.

"In fact, these newspapers can only be regarded as an inducement at best, and it is actually this kind of thing that really caused the 'dream cult' incident to worsen and spread widely. Jossen raised his hand and took out a few crumpled balls of paper from the pocket of his uniform and placed them on the table in front of the director.

The chief of the garrison picked up these paper balls, spread them out and examined them in turn, and then frowned and said, "Is this kind of text propaganda that demagogues the people?"

"These are the ones we picked up from the corners of the streets, and many of the houses can be found in similar things, and when we asked the residents in the vicinity, we found that these leaflets are often glued directly to the gates, windows, walls and other places that tend to attract the attention of the residents. After contacting the garrison substations in the towns, we also found that the spread of this propaganda note actually spread to all the cities and towns in the entire empire!" Qiao Sen said with a serious face: "Attention, it's all! There is no exception for any towns! Even some remote villages on the border with a population of just three digits have similar things!"

Hearing Qiao Sen's serious accent, everyone present, including the chief of the garrison, realized the seriousness of the situation.

If even the small villages on the border are no exception, this time it is tentatively called the mastermind behind the 'Dream Cult', not to mention anything else, the scope of its influence alone is really chilling.

"Do you know who dared to post these notes?" asked the chief of the garrison, "since the spread is so wide, there should always be one or two actors, or at least witnesses?"

"It's a pity. Qiao Sen looked helpless, shook his head and said, "At first, the residents who found these notes thought it was just a simple prank. Others thought their home had been hacked into. But whatever they thought, they didn't find the main messenger behind the scenes. Even a suspect to suspect...... I can't find it!"

The chief of the garrison frowned: "Really, there is no one?"

"Yes, at least there are no 'people'......" Qiao Sen said helplessly: "This kind of propaganda note only appeared once, and the time was concentrated in the dead of night, when most of the people were already asleep, and the few people who stayed up late and woke did not notice anything abnormal, and our night patrol officers also did not notice anything that night. ”

Qiao Sen said, took out a notepad from his pocket and flipped through it, looked at the investigation record on it, and said: "When I found out that something was wrong afterwards, I sent someone to do a detailed examination of the place where the note appeared many times, and the results were ...... In all the scenes investigated, no trace of even half of the suspicious footprints or anything was found. ”

"There is nothing special about the handwriting of the slip of paper, the pen and ink used to write it, and the paper material that makes up the note, but it is just the most ordinary printing paper and ink that can be made in any small factory. ”

"We tried to collect the data and analyze it by the number and density of the sticks, but we didn't find anything special. At present, it is only known how this propaganda method of the mastermind behind the scenes was perfectly avoided by everyone's eyes and ears is still unknown, and the time of the crime is limited to that specific night, covering every city, town, village, and other places where groups of people live throughout the empire! However, in the territory of other countries outside the empire, we have not found anything similar happening for the time being, and it seems that the scope of the activities of this mastermind behind the scenes is temporarily limited to the territory of our empire. ”

Listening to Qiao Sen's investigation and analysis, the head of the garrison frowned even harder.

After he waited for Qiao Sen to stop reporting for a while, he asked, "So, in terms of conclusion, if you want to start the investigation from the side of the notes posted everywhere, you can't find any clues for the time being?"

"Yes. Qiao Sen nodded helplessly, seeing that the director's face darkened again, he hurriedly added: "But we actually found another one, I don't know if it should be regarded as a clue to the breakthrough." ”

'Then why don't you say it quickly!!'

The chief of the garrison couldn't help but almost roar out, and urged Qiao Sen with an unkind gaze.

Qiao Sen didn't want to sell off, but he habitually reported all the findings from his investigation, and seeing that his boss was impatient, of course he didn't dare to say more, and directly pointed to the newspapers that had been placed on the table before, and then pointed to the notes.

"In chronological order, these newspapers appeared before the kind of propaganda note, so we followed this clue and found the reporters and editors who wrote them, as well as the directors of the small newspapers who dared to publish them publicly......"

The chief of the garrison asked, "And then, did you interrogate them?"

"Yes. Qiao Sen said with a somewhat disappointed face: "The interrogation process was actually very smooth, but the results obtained were not of much value. First of all, the writers of the newspaper's press releases are able to provide information that is basically the same as the travelogue they write about in the newspaper. ”

The chief of the garrison looked at him for a moment, and asked in a somewhat cold tone: "Have you confirmed the authenticity of their confessions?"

"Of course. Qiao Sen, who knew the meaning of the security chief's words, nodded directly, and said in a deep voice: "After repeated inspections, those people found that they were actually just ordinary people, and after using a little 'special' interrogation procedure on our side, we used "lie detection" and "mental hypnosis" techniques and special confession drugs, and the results can confirm the authenticity of the confession. ”

"Is there a possibility that they have falsified their memories?" the Chief of Police thought for a moment and asked again.

Jossen flipped through his notes and said, "This has also been checked in as much detail as possible, and no traces of modified memories have been found from them. It's just that...... After using a little more drastic special means, we found traces of a specific mental suggestion in their brains. ”

"Oh?" When the chief of the garrison heard this discovery, his spirit was immediately shocked: "Have you found out the content of the hint?"

"Yes. Qiao Sen nodded, seeing the expectant gaze of the security chief, but he smiled bitterly: "However, in fact, the traces of those hinting spells seem to have been left on purpose, not so much that they were discovered by us, but that the other party took the initiative to tell us." The content doesn't mean much, it just hints at the writers, editors, and directors of these newspapers, making them ignore the dangers that the contents of the newspapers can bring and the accountability that the empire may incur, and instead obediently find ways to get the newspapers out as quickly as possible at any cost. ”

After a pause, Wayne's eyes flashed, recalling the appearance of the young man named Wayne he saw in the special interrogation room who almost became an idiot after being tossed by the interrogator, and his eyes took on a touch of sympathy, and he said in a pitiful tone: "In order to obtain as much information as possible more securely, we also used the techniques of "soul reading" and "forced memory", which can basically confirm that the experiences of those people are not false, but the real 'dreams'. ”

The chief of the garrison looked at the newspaper just now and said, "So, in fact, even they don't know a little bit of valuable information about who is behind the scenes?"

"To be precise, at least we can learn from their experiences the purpose of the so-called 'Dream Lord' and the general state of the 'Dream World'. Qiao Sen pointed to the right path, then thought about it, and added: "Of course, the accuracy of this information must first be based on the premise that the 'Dream Lord' dependents they encountered in the dream world did not lie to them. ”

"That is...... Is it to preach to the 'Dream Lord' who doesn't know if it really exists and collect the beliefs of believers?" The chief of the garrison rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed with irritability: "What the hell, it's uncomfortable enough for the empire to have a Holy Light Church eyeing it outside, and it is only by uniting the forces of the entire Western Continent that the other party is openly and secretly excluded from the outside, and now another different religion has emerged?"

Moreover, the chief of the garrison believes that it seems that this newly emerged "Dream Lord" is even more difficult to deal with than the Holy Light Church, and directly established a certain base of believers in every town and village in the country's civil society before it reacted, and until now they have not been able to catch the flaws of these official forces.

The most odious thing is that they can't even find each other's base camp!

"Is that all you know so far?" the chief of the garrison scratched his hair in annoyance, stared at the subordinates in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "That's all, we can't talk to the head at all, bastards!"

"Well, there's actually another discovery. After flipping through the notes, Qiao Sen patted his forehead and said.

The chief of the garrison resisted the urge to beat this guy and said in a deep voice: "...... Say!"

"In fact, those newspaper reporters who helped the 'Dream Cult' to publicize it have more or less received rewards from the family members of the so-called 'Dream Lord', and these rewards are not false dream things, but involve real existence! And these rewards have given me a preliminary object of suspicion...... "I want to talk about "The Almighty Supreme of All Worlds" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
