Time: 10 a.m., White House, USA.

Ning Yuan casually put down his wand pointing at the US Secretary of Defense, and before the poor Secretary of Defense, the other White House officials in the White House conference room, including the President of the United States, were controlled.

The United Dream Technology, a magical technology unique to this world, first originated from the secret laboratory of the U.S. military, and was developed to allow soldiers to conduct actual combat training in the dream world. Later, the technology spread and was used by commercial spies, giving rise to the dream thief profession of stealing trade secrets through dreams. In the movie, the protagonist Cobb, played by Leonardo, is a group of professional dream thieves. Because the technology comes from the U.S. government, Ning Yuan didn't directly contact the protagonists, but directly found the U.S. government, which has complete technology, which is why there was this scene just now.

However, just now when he cast the Soul Snatching Spell, Ning Yuan could feel that the other party was very resistant to his magic, which was something that was hard to believe. But after searching in the head of the Minister of Defense, Ning Yuan knew. Since the discovery of this technology and the existence of Dream Thief, all important officials in the White House have undergone subliminal training. Through this kind of training, you can effectively resist the invasion of dream thieves, in case someone steals state secrets in your dreams.

Although this kind of training can be regarded as a Muggle version of brain defense in terms of effect alone, according to Ning Yuan's estimate, although it is very powerless against magic, ordinary hypnosis has the ability to resist.

After ordering several new "servants" to collect the information of all the dream connection techniques, and leaving a magic prop for contact, Ning Yuan left the White House directly. finally came to the United States, and after staying in the backward world of "Perfume" for so long, Ning Yuan naturally planned to relax and relax himself, anyway, the matter of collecting information was assisted by the President of the United States and other American dignitaries, so he didn't need to worry about it.

Speaking of which, Ning Yuan has set foot on American soil for the second time, but compared with the ice and snow in "The Day After Tomorrow", the current America in this world is very much in line with the image that Ning Yuan learned through the media before.

After camouflaging the shape of the flying car to make it look like a silver sports car that was not exaggerated and fit the background of the times, Ning Yuan drove the car around the streets of Washington.

It wasn't until the evening that Ning Yuan, who had been playing for a day, came to the Vermont Avenue Hotel, which was very close to Capitol Square. With a casual use of magic, Ning Yuan stayed in the presidential suite of this five-star hotel.

Even if he used to have a good net worth, and even after getting the Heart of Truth, money was nothing to him, but staying in a five-star luxury hotel, Ning Yuan was still the first time. However, after the initial curiosity, Ning Yuan calmly threw the restraint aside. After taking a hot bath, wearing a bath towel and ordering a bottle of red wine, I sat in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking out the window at the bright lights of Washington at night, and slowly enjoying a rare leisure time.

After a few days, Ning Yuan visited all the major tourist attractions in Washington, and by the way, he also met a few beautiful American girls. Although I don't want to have anything to do with them, it's better to have a beautiful woman with me than to be alone, so Ning Yuan has been having a lot of fun these days.

On this day, Ning Yuan and a beautiful blonde girl were visiting the Lincoln Memorial, looking at the statue of Lincoln carved in white marble, and after remembering a certain movie, Ning Yuan burst out laughing.

"Claude, is there anything funny about the statue of Lincoln?" The blonde girl is a waitress in a roadside coffee shop, and because Ning Yuan is now using the Transformation Ring to become the Claude of Final Fantasy, her handsome face naturally attracts the enthusiastic and open Lily to come up and talk, and the two have a very good conversation.

Today, Lily took a leave of absence and came over to be a tour guide for the Englishman "Claude" who came to the United States for tourism.

Seeing Claude laughing at the Lincoln statue, Lily shook Ning Yuan's arm in confusion and asked curiously.

Ning Yuan looked at the statue and recalled the statue of Caesar, the ape who replaced the statue of Lincoln in "The Battle of the Ape Star on the Planet of the Apes", and laughed again, "Sorry, Lily, I just remembered a movie where the statue of Lincoln was replaced by a monkey named Caesar." And Lincoln himself looked very much like a monkey, Ning Yuan didn't say this sentence.

"You're talking about the "Battle of the Apes" from the "Planet of the Apes" series?" I didn't expect this series of movies to exist in this world, and Lily had also seen it, and immediately thought of that classic scene after getting Ning Yuan's prompt.

Later, while discussing the content of the movie, the two continued to visit the Lincoln Memorial, and the atmosphere between the two was even better. However, because Ning Yuan has always shown the attitude of just making friends, even Lili, who was impressed by Ning Yuan's current appearance at the beginning, did not want to develop the relationship between the two into lovers.

“…… You're right, although "Rise of the Apes" is also good, it is never as good as the old version! After leaving the memorial, the two found a cold drink shop, and Lily said as she ate ice cream.

"Nowadays, movies are still more commercial, you look at the big-budget commercial films in Hollywood every year, in addition to letting people watch special effects, the plot or something is completely empty like a primary school student's article." Ning Yuan said.

As an otaku, he naturally also likes movies, novels, anime and games, which are essential things for squatting at home, and "Inception" is now 2014, the same as his original world era. In addition, Lily is also a 24-year-old college student at this time, so there is no generation gap between the two, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

"Claude, you know that men like you have always been my type?" Lily looked at Ning Yuan with some regret.

I would rather drink the iced coffee in my hand and look at Lily who was doing a deep shape with a smile, "I can see that I have always believed in my own charm." ”

"That's just my initial thoughts, though!" Lily rolled her eyes at Ning Yuan's narcissism, "How can I say yes, through contact, you are a person who meets my requirements for a partner, gentle, cheerful, and handsome." ”

"Wanting to be handsome is not the main reason." Ning Yuan quipped, in exchange for Lily's glare, "Okay, I'll keep up, you continue." ”

"But I found that under your appearance, there is always a kind of alienation and estrangement that I can't see through, you know, it feels like you and I are not the same species! Obviously, every action and every look you look is very considerate and gentle, which can make all girls sink, but it will always give me a sense of distance. Lily spread her hands and said helplessly.

"Come on, you're too sensitive!" Ning Yuan took a sip of iced coffee and said with a smile.

"Perhaps." Lily shrugged her shoulders and said. "You're too mysterious to me, so I can only carefully control my curiosity to prevent falling into this trap completely! Are you sure this isn't a trap for you to pursue girls, Claude? Because there is a saying that when a woman is curious about a man, it is the beginning of liking. ”

"Of course not!" Ning Yuan pursed his lips and said helplessly.

Lily blinked her blue eyes, "Well, if you say so!" ”

When the day's trip was over and the two had dinner at a restaurant, Ning Yuan drove Lily back to the apartment she shared with her companions. Looking at the background where Lily left, Ning Yuan, who had a slight curvature at the corner of his lips, squinted his eyes slightly, and at some point the wand in his hand was gently touched on the back that was gradually moving away...... Looking at the other party's footsteps and stopping for a while, as if he didn't notice anything, Ning Yuan sighed slightly.

Closing the car window, Ning Yuan just closed his eyes and pondered quietly, in his sea of consciousness, seventeen consciousness thoughts quietly exuded brilliance, shining on the sea of knowledge, wisps of invisible power shuttled between them, rippling invisible waves. In the two years in the world of "Perfume", Ning Yuan, who had absorbed the divine soul again, once again condensed nine thoughts, in addition to stripping off a heart of production power, now a total of seventeen have been successfully condensed, which is not a small achievement.

However, as the soul will continues to condense and unify to form the crystallization of thoughts, his mentality has inadvertently changed greatly. With the massive increase in strength, the sequelae of absorbing the divine soul seem to have emerged unconsciously!

In the world of "Perfume", he studied magic alone, and precipitated that he had little contact with people, so he didn't find out, and when he came to the world of "Inception", he came into contact with more people, and naturally found that his mentality was very wrong. It seems that because everything is smooth, his previous self-confidence has slowly turned into conceit.

When facing the people of this world, he always has an inexplicable rejection and superiority mentality, as if anyone is not even as good as an ant in his eyes, and he is not worthy of standing with him at all. This is obviously beyond the realm of self-confidence, he believes that he can become a god and control all beings in heaven and earth. But he hasn't succeeded yet, not even a legend, and even he is just a relatively large one of the ants, and this mentality is a little too impetuous. People know that if they lose even the minimum reverence for all beings in heaven and earth, then they are not far from failure! At least, in the face of a nuclear bomb, he does not feel that he is capable of resisting.
