Chapter 143: Cobb's Dream
It's unclear if Josh and Avella are the best Dream Thieves Cobb, but they definitely have the ability.
Think about it, he just looked at him, and he was dragged directly into the dream, even if the other party had reminded him!
But what a terrible fact? Assuming that the other party is dragged in without any defense, then what secret is there?
That's not the most powerful dream thief, so who else can be counted?
Of course, although he and the two guys can't be considered human at all, in his professional field, Cobb doesn't care what kind of person the other party is, or even whether it is a human or not, he just knows that the other party is very powerful.
Seeing Cobb's eyes so serious, Saito didn't say anything.
Although he had the heart to find out the identities of Josh and the others, even the most annoying thing in the Claire industry was that their identities were discovered, which meant that they would be in big trouble in everything they did in the future, and he could only give up this idea.
After many discussions, they also slowly decided on the plan to be made.
Of course, the method is similar to the original book, but because Josh and Avella have made some small adjustments, Cobb also came to discuss it with Josh.
"We decided to do it on the plane, and Mr. Saito was able to buy an airplane company for that."
"Uh-huh, this guy is kind of like a friend I know, go on."
"We're going to transplant the idea that his father doesn't want Philip to be the next him."
"Not a bad idea."
Josh nodded, of course he knew these things, and Cobb told them that they were just hoping to help out at a critical moment.
This is not really important, that is, Cobb is worried that his subconscious wife will come out to sabotage the whole operation.
In order to go home, in order to resurrect his wife, Cobb has completely stopped caring about so many things.
That's why he didn't hesitate to tell Josh all this, to make sure that there would be no problems with the right actions this time.
"That Mr. Josh, I hope you can help us, in case we run into some irresistible factors"
"Do you mean your wife? Oh no, it's your subconscious wife. ”
"Yes, I can't stop her."
"Then why don't you take me into your dreams? What about your deepest dreams? You're going to have to face it all. ”
Cobb looked at Josh with some silence, this was not the first time Josh had brought up a similar topic.
Although he also understands how serious his problems are, he even made a prison in his dreams in order to overcome them, hoping to control his subconscious.
But the result was very unsatisfactory, and instead of locking her up, he made her the biggest trouble in every mission.
At the moment, this task is very important, and it is completely related to whether he can go home or not, and Cobb himself is a little unsure of how to do it.
"Actually, I know that there is something in her dreams that I don't enter into your dreams. Don't forget that I can enter anyone's dreams at will, but I don't go into it in order to respect your privacy, if you want to go with you to see it, and by the way, I will take me to your deepest memories to see. ”
"You want to go to that abyss? But there"
"Actually, when I first built my dream, I had already dragged you into that abyss.
It's just that it's unreal because it's unstable. I need to look at your dreams, the stable dreams, and of course it would be nice if I could go deeper. ”
Cobb was even more silent when he heard Josh's words, and it took him a long time before he nodded.
Although the dream was almost in ruins, it was a world that he and his wife had spent an unknown number of years building, and it was an incomparably real and complete world.
Cobb could guess what Josh's purpose was, as Josh had been emphasizing the stability of the dream formation, and the stability of the world he and Mel had built should be the best and strongest. Then it's normal for Josh to have thoughts about that world.
And below this dream, there is this more terrifying and chaotic layer, that is, the fifth layer of dreams.
Cobb had been in this dream, and he had almost gotten lost in it, so he was also worried about the dream, which was a world that had reached an immeasurable scale with reality.
"I see, I'll take you in."
"Very good Daum, by the way, let you solve the problem of the phantom in your consciousness."
"Why?"
"Do you suppose that your wife came back to life and found out in your mind that there was such a woman?"
When Cobb heard Josh's explanation, he could only nod helplessly.
Although he really didn't believe that Josh could resurrect his wife, Josh's sworn appearance made him have to believe it, so he did have to make some preparations in order to welcome his wife who might return, even if it was just to go home and face his children.
Josh didn't say anything polite, and there was no need for Cobb to inject any drugs himself, and Josh directly used magic to make him fall asleep.
It wasn't some kind of coma or magic that put him into a deep sleep and couldn't dream, and if it were, Josh's illusion would have been in vain.
Looking at Cobb, who had fallen asleep and fell into a deep sleep in an instant, Josh directly pulled Avira into Cobb's dream world.
They appear in a very old-fashioned elevator, and their destination is at the bottom of this floor.
"Your world is really good. Not to mention that it is very sturdy, and the area is large enough. ”
"In dreams, there is no room for comfort. All you have to do is build a maze, and it's up to you to decide how big or small it is. Of course, if you're strong enough, you can enter deeper dreams, where time may not be a problem. ”
Josh nodded, indeed. In the original book, Saito was unfortunate to enter the fifth layer of dreams, but in a short moment in reality, he changed from a middle-aged man to an old man, if it wasn't for Cobb to enter and fish him out, I'm afraid Saito would have been completely lost in it.
"You go about your nightmares, I'll go out with Avella. This is your world, and you can find us. ”
"Of course, hey, it's time to face all of this."
"Don't worry, Daum. I'll give you something. ”
Josh smiled, and before the elevator was about to stop, mental power and magic power were concurrent, and at the same time, a silver particle of light appeared in Josh's hand.
This particle of light is as bright as masonry, but it does not have the same mass as masonry, it is just a simple energy body.
In the dream, Josh could indeed feel that his power seemed to be somewhat limited.
But this restriction varies from person to person, and it is precisely up to the creator of the dream to determine how limited the dream is.
Cobb is just an ordinary person, although he has no magic power, but on the basis of a certain amount of mental power, his dream realm can indeed do some things that ordinary people can't do at all. That's why he can be the strongest Dream Thief, and he is really good enough.
But who is Josh?
Although such a dream is beautiful and solid, even if there is no fault in Josh's eyes, but such a dream Josh only needs a little effort, and this place will be completely shattered, and Cobb will be completely lost in it.
Josh doesn't think so, though, because he thinks talent is for recruitment, not something you get from him and kill it.
As for recruiting Cobb, the idea did pop into Josh's mind, but he didn't think to talk to them now.
As for this silver particle of light, it was a combination of Josh's spiritual power and magical power.
To put it bluntly, at this time, Cobb has not been completely guided by the belief of going home, and he is still in a period of confusion, and this thing is a gadget that can keep Cobb to himself and prevent some unexpected gadgets.
Stuffing this thing into Cobb's mind, Josh disappeared directly with Avella, and now it is still left to Cobb and the nightmare in his heart.
The city built by Cobb and Mel is very large, and although it has begun to look like a ruin, you can still find traces of its former prosperity just by looking at the ruins.
"Is all this done by an ordinary person?"
Avella watched as she walked, and to be honest, she was really surprised that an ordinary person had created a city in his dreams, and it was so real.
All of this was something that Avella couldn't imagine or believe before, and she didn't even think that she would walk freely in other people's dreams.
"It's really an ordinary person who does it, and I've always seen it as a simplified version of illusion magic. Of course, it may not be magic at all, because no one has any magic tracks, but what about once we add magic? ”
Josh smiled and nodded, pulling Avira away to look to the right. It's true that you can't force someone to do anything without magic, but once you add magic, and you, like Cobb, have already created a dream that is both true and false, then everything becomes possible.
"Can I do that too, Josh?" Avella thought for a moment and suddenly asked.
"Absolutely, it's not too difficult. But first you'll have to learn some induction magic, which I can teach you, but"
At this point, Josh stopped, and Avella also paused and looked at Josh with some confusion. Josh thought for a moment before he spoke: "But these things must be merged in the contract, because I will have no reservations about you, and I don't want this thing to appear anywhere in the Muya continent at will." ”
"No problem Josh, I promise you."
