"Hey, I don't know if you can hear it now, but listen, I'm going to go to the base later, if you don't want me to be caught and dissected, just stay in the shadows and don't show up, you know?"

Lin Sheng took out the two pieces of equipment that had been brought to upgrade by Gu Yuehu before—the feedback ring and the weapon module.

After this upgrade, the appearance of the feedback ring has not changed, it is still a black matte neck ring device, which is a device used by people like them to monitor their own status, and it is also a "mental remote control" for opening and regulating their abilities.

But his "black brick" has turned into a slightly special-looking black trench coat, with some metallic materials embedded in some parts of it.

Obviously, it was the Shrike Bird's upgrade this time, with reference to his daily information collected over the years, and then the weapon module was redesigned.

Bringing a black ring and putting on a windbreaker, Lin Sheng walked to the full-length mirror in the room and looked at his appearance in the mirror.

Fortunately, it's not very conspicuous.

The design concept of the feedback loop is similar to the smart wearable devices used by many people in this era.

It's just that the fabric of this black trench coat is somewhat special, but it is not so conspicuous that walking on the street will attract many people's attention.

After roughly cleaning up, Lin Sheng walked out of the house and got on the bus, planning to go to the Bailu branch of the shrike bird.

Just like the ghost said, the price of turning on the final overclocking did not appear at all, and he was still alive and well.

However, although the price of overclocking is gone, the withdrawal syndrome has always been with him, and he has temporarily stabilized his state by relying on the drugs that Nan Ming is willing to give.

Anyone who escapes from a dream event produced by Morpheus suffers from a condition known as "withdrawal disorder".

This condition is also called "curse" by their group.

If they do not inject drugs for a period of time, they will soon enter a state of trance with irregular episodes, which usually occurs around the time of sleep at night.

At the first onset of the illness, they will feel a sense of detachment from their consciousness, as if an invisible hand is pulling their consciousness away from their bodies and moving towards another place.

With the passage of time, after the disease gradually worsens, this sense of detachment will come from time to time and constantly at various times, and produce various visual and auditory hallucinations, until the patient finally loses consciousness completely.

The first group soon died from the symptoms.

Soon, the death of a test subject forced the team of researchers to work around the clock to study the countermeasures, and thus the STABILITY potion was born.

This potion can maintain the stability of the consciousness of the escapees, so that their consciousness can continue to maintain a binding relationship with the physical body for a long time, and they will no longer suffer from the pain caused by the withdrawal, and naturally they will not fall into dreams again.

But...... The steps of making this agent are extremely cumbersome and the yield rate is very low, and under the combined influence of the two situations, the production efficiency of the drug is already extremely low.

Realizing that with the current level of technology and production capacity, it is impossible to supply this medicine in large quantities, and immediately introduced a rule of "no idlers".

That is, valuable people can obtain such rare resources, which is the origin of "points".

Later dreamers were able to obtain the number of points of various levels by executing events, and according to different levels of event difficulty and different execution results, they could exchange them for various resources including ST potions and money.

While pondering, the bus had arrived in the city, Lin Sheng immediately got off the bus, hailed a taxi and continued to drive to the place where the Shrike Bird Building was located.

"Hey, little brother, are you from that company?"

The driver in the front row raised his eyebrows while waiting for the red light, looked at Lin Sheng in the rearview mirror, and asked with some curiosity.

"Not really."

Lin Sheng replied noncommittally.

"Tsk, I just sent a guest last night, I guess it's a boss, put the car stopped at the KTV entrance, and vomited all over the ground in a few minutes, and then took out the pills that couldn't see what it was, and fed a few to the boss, not that I said it was an exaggeration, I was surprised to see the speed of the boss's face recovering......"

Seeing that Lin Sheng had no intention of responding, the taxi driver didn't care, and continued to talk to himself.

"Later, I listened to them chatting and learned that the jelly bean-like thing was produced by the company called the Shrike Bird, listening to what they said, that box had to be half a month's salary for most of my salary, and I didn't see a few grains in it, this year I have money and really do whatever I want, you see that we ordinary people drink too much, it is called an uncomfortable ......."

While listening to the driver's chatter, Lin Sheng also looked sideways at the window.

The tallest building in the city is easily visible in most open areas of the city.

At the top of the building is a very striking statue of light, the eagle-billed bird looks up at the sky day and night, and is held high by the surrounding buildings that are gradually deformed in height like a hundred birds and phoenixes.

"Usually careful, there are not necessarily no side effects, but the price is higher, and it is more sought after by the upper class."

Lin Sheng saw that the building was already close in front of him, so he said that he planned to end the topic.

"But isn't it, that company has been in full swing for so many years, and those little pills, tsk, all say that robbing banks is not as fast as robbing their logistics warehouses."

The master in the front row smiled emotionally, and then slowly stopped the car.

After paying the fee, Lin Sheng went straight to the special elevator in the depths of the building, and lit the button on the OMEGA floor after the identification was passed.

About an hour later, Lin Sheng completed the redemption and reinstatement process, and then walked to the special archives room with a special small suitcase.

[Biometric authentication passed, please enter, and end the review before 22 o'clock at night.] 】

Pusie's voice sounded, and Lin Sheng immediately entered the interior of the archives.

It was a completely new place to him, as the special floor had only been completed after he had left.

Lin Sheng glanced at it, and the materials in the entire archive room were not conventional paper materials placed on various cabinets, but hundreds of soundproof single rooms were arranged in this space layer by layer, and when one of them was pushed open, a touch table was presented in front of Lin Sheng.

Sitting down in front of the stage, Lin Sheng immediately opened the access interface.

[Permission level 3, please use.] 】

The information displayed on the screen is dense, but can be roughly divided into three sections, with "publicly available research information from Morpheus, archival materials of various events that have ended or not ended, and information about the dreamer itself".

Lin Sheng's goal is very clear, and he needs to figure out what has changed in the current situation in the years he has been away.

And......

After learning that Xiaoqian is likely to be alive, he needs to know about the "door".

While thinking and flipping through the pages, one piece of information jumped into Lin Sheng's eyes.

[The Mirror Society, first discovered in 2042 and has been active in the Second National Region since then, and according to the latest investigation, it is presumed that some of its bases are located in Fenshan City, and its core members have not been captured so far.] ]

Further information is lacking.

Fenshan City......

Lin Sheng then looked at another piece of information.

[The OMEGA department of the Shrike Dreamer Project has been divided by a resolution of the high-level meeting, and a new "Ω" department will be added in addition to the original "ω" department.] ]

I searched for information related to "Ω".

[Ω Division, a special unit established in 2044 at the suggestion of the State Councillor of the Shrike Bird No. 2, is mainly used to deal with real-life events and medium-to-high-rated dream events that are becoming more frequent. ]

Lin Sheng wanted to inquire about his details but was told that the permissions were insufficient, and in desperation, he could only retreat to the original interface and began to search for things related to the "door".

But what you see above doesn't have much nutrition.

Most of them are saying that "since most dreamers or mothers are in an extremely urgent situation when they find the 'door' during the event, they simply have no time to carefully probe one or two and hurriedly step into the door."

Most of the information in the remaining materials is an inference formed by the laboratory after comprehensive consideration from various aspects, but there are very few conclusions that are supported by facts.

Lin Sheng frowned slightly.

An organization that has successfully taken over the invasion of alien creatures is definitely not as simple as it seems at the moment.

What's more, the information of the so-called "Ω" department is still being veiled up.

Apparently...... There's a lot of greasy in it.
