22. A letter
What is the most plastic parasite? It's the human mind.
A seed can grow into a towering tree, an idea can make a city, and an idea can change the rules of a game.
That's why many people are willing to abandon reality and sink into dreams – a world where He is God, the All-Knowing and All-Powerful God.
For these people, entering a dream is not a kind of awakening.
Therefore, there are always some people who can't tell which world is real and which world is illusory.
After Li Yue had done all the work, he withdrew from the dream layer by layer, and when the picture in the plane appeared in front of him again, he stood up, rubbed his slightly sore thighs, and pushed Phil Coulson's shoulder.
Phil Coulson's body subconsciously supported the weight backwards, and he also withdrew from the dream.
"Do you want a towel? There is also an entry registration form. The flight attendant lady came over and said, "We'll be at Los Angeles International Airport in ten minutes." ”
"Thank you." Li Yue took the two towels and said to Phil Coulson, "Haven't reacted yet?" ”
Phil Coulson stared blankly at the moving clouds outside the window for a moment, then turned his head and said, "There's a feeling of unreality...... It's a lot better now, though. ”
"That's good." Li Yue smiled and said, "I don't want a dream to make you a fool. ”
"Not really." Phil Coulson stood up, moved his hands and feet, and said, "Let's go to the ordinary cabin, don't make the other passengers suspicious." ”
Li Yue shrugged his shoulders and said, "The play is going to be performed completely, I still know." ”
……
It wasn't until the two of them returned to the cabin that the members of the Dream Stealer team woke up.
Everyone had a dark expression on their faces. In the memories of the members of the Dream Thief Squad, this time it was not only their profitable mission, but also the task assigned to them by the boss Li Yue and S.H.I.E.L.D.
For the tycoon Saito, his stubbornness caused the complete failure of this inception, and he fell into a deep self-blame.
And for the target Fisher, taking his own path is something worth considering. However, giving up the inheritance was a denial of his previous existence, so he chose to keep the inheritance and leave it to a professional manager to take care of.
In general, Li Yue's setting has completely changed the direction of the movie "Inception".
The members of the squad were given the status of S.H.I.E.L.D. employees by him, and the target Fisher obtained his own benefits and dreams, and the only miserable one was Saito.
He will face the dilemma of the collapse of the company, the questioning of his family, and even the dilemma of dying alone.
Time passed with a sigh and the plane finally landed at Los Angeles International Airport.
After getting off the ticket gate, the security personnel who had been waiting at the ticket gate carefully checked Daum Cobb's ticket, and said to him with a smile, "Welcome back, Mr. Cobb." ”
"Thank you." Daum Cobb responded with a smile, and for some reason he still felt a little happy and awkward in his heart, as if he had forgotten something important.
The other members of the Inception Team also packed up their equipment and waited at the airport to 'receive' their cars to their new work environment.
In the office inside the checkgate, Maria Hill looked at several people on surveillance and asked, "So, your mission has been successful this time?" ”
"Yes, Commander." Li Yue stood behind her and said, "I shaped the memories of attending S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy in their consciousness, and after graduation, I fell directly into my department and became a member. Because of the needs of the mission, they have their current identity.
In order to meet the news that the studio was not ready yet, I joined the department and would be relocating from Los Angeles to New York. ”
"Nice design." Commander Hill said with a rare smile, "I'll have someone forge a few copies of S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy information to fill your hole." ”
"Thank you."
"So, what about these two people? What settings did you add to them? Maria Hill tapped on the figures of Saito and Fischer in the surveillance and said. Don't say anything didn't join, I don't believe it. ”
Li Yue nodded at Saito's figure and said, "His company is about to disappear under the crushing of the Fisher Enterprise, at most he is a rich man, and hypnotizing him is not worth the loss for me." So, nothing has been added. ”
"What about him? Fisher, heir to the energy group. ”
"According to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s doctrine of concealment, I can't inform him of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s existence, so in his memory, Phil and I are his best friends." Li Yue explained, "This is a side-hitting, and it is in line with any rules and regulations you have for S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
Maria Hill nodded in agreement with Li Yue's words, and then said, "Since you have all arranged, we will go back to New York immediately." If you have enough people, you can also start working on virtual reinvention technology. ”
"I can't wait."
……
A month later, a warehouse on the border between New York City and Washington, D.C.
The superstructure here is a simple garage and remodeling plant that stores employees' cars, and below it is a small base that resembles a bomb shelter.
In addition to the staff rest area, there is also an entertainment area, a dining area, a combat training area, an experimental area, a command room, a conference room, a storage area for experimental materials and two escape routes.
In addition to the Dream Thief Squad, Li Yue, and thirty security personnel, there are many 'helpers' here.
Fishmen and kobolds from the game World of Warcraft, dwarves from the movie The Lord of the Rings.
These little guys are all the results of Li Yue's use of virtual reshaping reality technology for more than a month.
Just like An Xiaowei said at the beginning, according to the law of conservation of energy, the energy that is shaped does not necessarily come from itself, but can be replaced by other energy sources - the energy source chosen by Li Yue is the common electricity.
However, the consumption of energy outside the body made Li Yue staggered, creating a virtual image the size of an ordinary person with only a physical body requires a 220V voltage to continuously charge for five hours, and a virtual image with a 'talent' (such as dwarf's iron-fighting) skills requires two days of charging.
What gave Li Yue the most headache was that the high-level officials of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the goal he most wanted to reshape, the virtual image with energy (magic), could not be achieved for the time being.
The tipping point reached at that moment would cause the entire city to lose power, and the experiment would fail.
The solution to the lack of high-end energy made Li Yue think of Iron Man's energy circle, Thor's hammer, Infinity Stones, and so on.
It's a pity that these things are out of reach for Li Yue, who was in 2007, so that the research progress has been zero for several days.
And the buildings on the surface have become a market for small animal subjects: want a loyal wolf cub pet? Please come to the Prophet's Hut.
Want a windy bear as a patrol companion? Please come to the Prophet's Hut.
This quiet life lasted until a letter arrived by courier from San Francisco.
