Chapter 167 A Dream Unlike Any Other

Wu You only needed to pay close attention for a short while to understand the entire dream.

Because memory dreams are different from ordinary fantasy dreams, they are actually a dream replay of a memory, except that the parts of the memory that are blurry are filled in by the mind.

While Li Liwen was in a dream, this memory had already been "warmed up" deep within his mind, and at this moment, the dream tapir was able to magically peek into this memory.

Although the dream had only just begun, Wu You already knew the whole story.

Wu You actually had a grand idea in his mind, although it was probably still in the early stages of planning and the concept was not yet fully developed.

But upon seeing this dream, I immediately realized that it could be a good foreshadowing.

It only requires a few simple changes.

Thus, Li Liwen's dream, this profound memory, unfolded in a way unlike any before.

...

Li Liwen was reading in his dormitory when a large hand slapped him on the shoulder.

"Liwen, how are the preparations for tomorrow's mission going?"

The young Li Liwen had just suppressed the urge to grab and attack a second before.

Turning my head around, I saw it was Liu Dong, the team leader who would be leading the team tomorrow.

"Captain Liu, to be honest, I'm quite nervous. It's my first time being asked to do close protection work, and I'm afraid I won't do it well."

Liu Dong punched Li Liwen hard in the chest.

He laughed and said, "You little rascal, you're the best fighter among us, and your marksmanship is accurate too. If you don't have any information, what are the others supposed to do?"

"Who says I lack confidence! I'm just nervous, nervous, you understand, Captain Liu!"

"Hahaha... He's even gotten all worked up..."

...

In the next dream, Li Liwen and his comrades had already gone abroad with the "big leader's" team.

They have arrived in Russia for an important exchange visit.

As the most elite security force, Li Liwen and his comrades strive to do their best in every aspect.

Moscow International Airport.

Amidst a welcoming crowd, the group disembarked from the private jet.

As the bodyguard, Li Liwen carried a black suitcase and followed the "big leader" closely.

Aside from glancing at the leader out of the corner of his eye, he spent most of his attention observing his surroundings.

Although Russia has taken absolutely thorough security and defense measures.

But Li Liwen and his comrades have always adhered to the principle of prioritizing their own protection of key targets, regardless of other security measures.

As my gaze swept back and forth, I noticed the diverse groups of people with different auras.

The patrol was conducted by Russian security forces, with armed police present outside.

Ahead is the honor guard formation of the three armed forces.

Li Liwen paid attention to everyone he could see.

Yes, the large group waving small red flags further ahead are overseas Chinese and international student groups.

In a foreign land, the faces of fellow countrymen always make one feel warm and fuzzy.

As the delegation members disembarked from the plane one after another, the group moved forward gradually.

The procession, with its ceremonial guards and handshakes between leaders, soon reached the group of overseas Chinese.

Li Liwen's outstanding military skills are not only due to his physical talent, but also to his keen intuition.

The former is common knowledge, but he never told anyone about the latter.

At this moment, Li Liwen noticed that several people in the overseas Chinese group were acting strangely.

Their expressions and movements were normal, but Li Liwen just felt that these people were somewhat different from others.

Of course, he didn't sense any malicious intent or killing intent, but he did quietly keep an eye on them.

These people were scattered among the overseas Chinese group, and there were about seven or eight of them standing at the back.

Li Liwen felt he was in good condition, able to distinguish things so clearly under such circumstances.

The visiting team quickly boarded the special vehicle.

Li Liwen and his superiors were in the same car.

In the car, the leader was having a brief chat with the trip secretary about the details. Seeing that Li Liwen was tense, he smiled and said to him, "Young comrade, don't be so tense. You need to find a balance."

Li Liwen was somewhat reserved as this was the first time he had spoken with such a high-ranking leader.

"Sir, this is my job. This is a bowstring, not a musical instrument string. It can't be loose."

"You're quite bold to speak like that, young comrade!"

The secretary next to him laughed and cursed.

Li Liwen scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Haha, good, good, young comrade, you're cultured. I won't disturb your work."

The high-ranking leader laughed nonchalantly and then closed his eyes to rest.

...

The trip was packed, but overall it went smoothly.

The three-day trip culminated in a visit to a Russian memorial on the last day. The Russian leader was scheduled to give a friendly speech in front of the memorial and answer questions from some reporters.

There were many people and reporters surrounding the area.

In such situations, those in charge of security are always the most tense. Although Russian military and police have controlled all key locations, no one dares to relax their vigilance.

What bothered Li Liwen the most was that he saw those same people he had noticed at the airport again. Although they were compatriots, he didn't think of them in a positive light at this time.

There were many people from all walks of life at the scene, and the reporters' flashes went off non-stop.

Smartphones weren't common then, and phone functions were limited, so people took photos using cameras.

When the Russian leader first took the stage to deliver his speech.

"Boom!"

A loud noise came from afar, sounding like something had collapsed.

Li Liwen and his comrades tensed up immediately as they saw several Russian police officers rushing towards the direction from which the sound came.

Unlike his comrades who were on high alert, Li Liwen immediately searched for the few figures he cared about in the somewhat chaotic crowd.

He found a few of them, and they followed the flow of people, but they seemed much more composed.

There was definitely a problem!

However, contrary to Li Liwen's expectations, although those people did pay attention to him and his leader, it seemed that most of their attention was on the outside world.

By the way, where did the rest go?

This brief observation and reflection took only a few seconds at the time, before Li Liwen could even sort out his thoughts.

"Bang bang bang..."

Three shots rang out, and the Russian leader's position was attacked.

Chaos erupted among the crowd and reporters. Some Russian military and police rushed to their leaders, while others charged toward the Russian youth who was fleeing after firing the shot.

Both leaders, under the protection of their respective security personnel, first entered the memorial hall.

Although it was the Russians who were attacked, Li Liwen still immediately searched for the individuals in the midst of the tension.

He crouched down and searched the doorway for a few seconds, but he couldn't see a single one; they had all vanished!

"Liwen! Is there something wrong?"

When Captain Liu noticed Li Liwen's unusual behavior, he took a few steps forward and asked him what was wrong.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it..."

Li Liwen tilted his head to answer Liu Dong's question, but the sight of him glancing at him made him immediately stop talking.

He saw a figure rapidly approaching from a blind spot in the distance of the memorial hall.

Without anyone around noticing, it moved more than ten meters in an instant.

Li Liwen's pupils contracted; it was one of those people!

What speed!

Li Liwen immediately pulled out his gun from his pocket, and Liu Dong behind him also instinctively drew his gun as a precaution.

There wasn't even time to make a further reaction.

In the distance, the figure suddenly threw a punch into the air.

Li Liwen noticed that the air visibly trembled under the heavy blow of the fist, and some liquid substances were splashed out around it.

Then, in the distance, the person who had just been moving at an insane speed was now wandering around the corner of the memorial hall in a panic, just like the frightened crowd.

Several Russian policemen walked up to him, exchanged a few words, and then the man carefully followed the Russian policemen to the crowd.

Li Liwen's mind was filled with the scene from just now, and his attention was constantly focused on the male compatriot whose reaction was completely different before and after.

As the man approached the crowd, he glanced almost imperceptibly at Li Liwen.

Yes, Li Liwen was certain that the man was frowning.

...

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Li Liwen sat up abruptly from the bed.

He looked up and around. This was his room in his old home in Qiantang, and his wife was still sleeping peacefully beside him.

He got out of bed and put on a rather thick coat.

He picked up a cigarette and a lighter from the bedside table, then opened the balcony door of the master bedroom and quietly went to the balcony.

He wanted to let the cold wind blow on him so that he could clear his head.

He just had a dream, the same dream he's had many times before.

"Smack."

As the lighter clicked, Li Liwen lit a cigarette.

In my memory, I was very young then, and it was my first time participating in that level of security mission as a bodyguard.

During that mission, Russian youths did shoot Russian leaders, but there were no casualties.

It is said that before the shooting, there was a major car accident on the outskirts, which caused a wall to collapse.

Because of excessive tension, I later drew my gun due to a misunderstanding, which caused my comrades to subconsciously follow suit.

The profound impression of his first shooting experience and the embarrassment of his own blunder sometimes cause Li Liwen to have this dream.

But what was that dream about? Why did it include experiences I didn't have in my memory?

Is it because of dreams that some absurd ideas arise?

Li Liwen looked up at the night sky.

No! That's not right!
