Chapter 197
Yu Leng looked at her briefly, watching her pupils slowly focus from completely dilated, like a puppet that had just been injected with a soul, and then slowly moved. But she still looked a little dazed, as if she didn't know where she was.
Yu Leng didn’t know what she belonged to, but she was undoubtedly the leader of this dream.
If she really was like Batty, then she would become some powerful ghost the moment she was awakened and realized that something was wrong with the world. By then, the entire base would be destroyed, and even he and Lu Jiamu might not be spared.
Yu Leng stared at the bewildered girl, hesitated for a moment, and finally made some kind of decision.
Everything is unknown now, and there is not much they can do. Perhaps waking her up and disrupting the situation is the best scenario. This way, the containment object will no longer be bound by any person or ghost, and it will be difficult for them to collude with them.
Moreover, after the Wheel of Time threw them into this world, there has been no movement until now. Perhaps it is also because of the influence of this containment object which is also known for its spatial ability.
It is impossible to do nothing. Now we can only take one step at a time.
"You..." Yu Leng tried to organize his words, but found that he knew nothing about her. In the end, he decided to make it short and straightforward, "Do you know that you are actually dead?"
The girl with glasses blinked in confusion and quickly responded: "Are you sick?"
It was a bit surprising that she exploded without being prodded.
Yu Leng looked around, trying to find some unusual sight to support his words.
But everything in this mall was the same as Yu Leng remembered, there was nothing unusual.
It was obvious that in her dream, her understanding of her life before death was very clear, which was different from Batty's dream, which was chaotic and full of flaws due to long-term lack of maintenance.
If you want to find the flaw and shatter this dream, you have to start from other places.
Yu Leng decided to talk about this scene first and take the opportunity to get to know her.
So he considerately pulled the girl with glasses up from the ground, dusted her off, and asked with a friendly smile: "Little sister, why are you sitting here alone? Did I accidentally knock you down just now?"
Yu Leng himself is the kind of person who looks very sunny and bright. When he takes the initiative to show his kindness, he always makes people feel very friendly and not too threatening.
So even though he had just said something strange like "You're already dead", the girl with glasses didn't have a very bad first impression of him.
"I..." But the girl still looked confused. She was very slow to respond and evaded Yu Leng's question. "I work here."
Yu Leng asked again with concern: "Were those people your friends just now?"
This time the girl didn't respond, as if she had no idea what he was saying.
Yu Leng then asked: "Just now I heard you keep saying you wanted to go home, did anyone bully you?"
"I don't know what the hell you're talking about...I didn't say anything like that. This is my home."
Yu Leng observed her reaction carefully and felt that although her knowledge of her life was complete, there were many gaps in her memory, which were flaws.
In the time it took to finish a few sentences, other twisted whirlpools appeared in the mall.
The corners of white coats were faintly visible, indicating that there were other people trying to enter this spiritual world belonging to the inmates.
The girl with glasses also noticed it, but she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong. She explained to Yu Leng: "The cleaners are here."
It was obvious that Yu Leng was not the only psychic present.
She seemed very familiar with them. Perhaps this dream seemed so normal because these people often came in to maintain it.
It makes perfect sense that the cleaners come in every day to brainwash the inmates.
But if he was caught by them, he would be in trouble.
However, there was more than one psychic in the venue. Yu Lengleng was the first to come into contact with the girl with glasses, so he still had a certain degree of initiative.
But Yu Leng couldn't think of a way to break the impasse. After all, this dream world was currently impeccable, and the hostess of the dream didn't seem to have any doubts about the dream.
Yu Leng felt a little anxious. In his anxiety, he thought of Lu Jiamu, who had always been good at handling interpersonal relationships and was now outside and his life or death was unknown.
It would be great if it was him who came in.
If Lu Jiamu were here at this time, what would he do?
He must have started making up stories to deceive people a long time ago.
Lu Jiamu seldom thinks in the conventional way that others do. He usually jumps out of the thinking framework given by others and forms his own logic which is obviously crooked but reasonable. He then starts to persuade others and manipulate others to follow his own ideas.
Lu Jiamu had said before that when you know that a person has many blind spots in cognition, you can tell him anything outrageous as true. Anyway, the other party has no way to disprove it, so even if you are wrong and are seen through, it won't cost you much.
Whether the information is true or not depends entirely on the acting skills.
Yu Leng had been with Lu Jiamu for some time, and had been exposed to his usual tricks of deceiving people. Now was a good time to put it into practice and make up a story to practice.
Quickly come up with a setting that won’t be easily exposed to scare her… Quickly come up with a setting to scare her…
After Yu Leng anxiously turned around twice, he suddenly became dramatic and showed a look of regret. He grabbed the glasses girl's arm, slightly bent over and approached the glasses girl, stared at her anxiously but sincerely, and said in a low voice:
"Listen to me, you have to believe me now no matter what. This world is fake! I came in to save you, but you have lost too much memory. You couldn't answer the questions I asked you just now. Don't you think it's weird? Do you still have any memory before you came here?"
He suddenly acted as if he had something else to hide, and the girl with glasses was really confused: "Huh?"
"These cleaners you mentioned are actually monsters! You must not be caught by them, otherwise you will even forget that you met me today! It's hard to explain it in a few words now, let's run, and I will explain it to you later."
After saying that, he pulled the girl with glasses and ran downstairs.
His expression and words began to become a little scary.
The girl with glasses was infected by his emotions, and even though she didn't understand what was going on, she still started running after him.
Seeing that the first step of persuasion was successful, Yu Leng breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you know The Truman Show?"
"Um... I don't know?"
"It's about a person who has been imprisoned in a fake movie city since he was a child. He is constantly being live-streamed. Everyone else is an actor, but he himself doesn't know that his life is fake."
Yu Leng continued to make up stories while running downstairs: "You are the prisoner. They are all staff members. I am the only soft-hearted actor. I decided to stand up and tell you the truth. But it doesn't matter. I will help you escape. Just follow me closely."
The trick used by Yu Leng was undoubtedly very successful and directly frightened the girl with glasses.
Even if you are a normal person walking on the street, if someone suddenly swears that you have been living in a false world and that there are pursuers behind you, you will doubt your life for a while.
What's more, the girl with glasses is a character who has just woken up and her memory is almost blank.
Before someone pointed it out, she could still think she was working here step by step. Once someone pointed it out, she fell into deeper confusion.
Those people in white coats who tried to intrude into the dream had also successfully passed through the barrier of reality. As they looked around at the bright and beautiful modern shopping malls, their faces gradually became ugly.
In the past, this containment object had always been in a chaotic deep sleep, and its dreams were a vague stream of consciousness, not so clear.
They were all born after the catastrophe, and they were born at the wrong time. They had never lived in such a good environment, so they didn't know whether such a dazzling shopping mall was normal or abnormal. Moreover, when they came in, the girl with glasses had been taken away by Yu Leng, which made them even more confused.
Some people began to report: "The core seal has initially awakened and formed a dream world. It is possible that it has developed a certain degree of self-awareness, but the subject of consciousness has not yet been found."
After the report, several people gathered together and explored the surroundings carefully.
Their words vaguely fell into the ears of the girl with glasses, making them look a bit like the "monsters" or "staff" mentioned by Yu Leng, and further confirmed that the lies made up by Yu Leng might be true. The girl with glasses became a little psychologically dependent on Yu Leng, the only good man.
But just taking her away would definitely not break this dream. If I want to completely overturn her cognition, I have to find another way.
As the master of dreams, whatever she believes should appear in this world.
Yu Leng began to prepare to take advantage of the opportunity to do something weird to scare her and see if something beyond her cognition would suddenly appear.
Outside the spiritual world, the diary couldn't help but listen for a while longer to Lu Jiamu's unprecedented heartfelt and nostalgic speech, telling stories of the past one after another, recalling the past years and persuading it to spare his life.
Although he knew it was all a routine and there was no sincerity in it, and the man and the ghost had already torn their faces apart and it was impossible for them to reconcile, but if he had to talk like this, it still made Diary feel very happy.
It had been trapped in the broken notebook for too long, living in fear every day, and enduring Lu Jiamu's indiscriminate reading of the diary and asking questions. Now that its position had finally been reversed, it couldn't help but want to hear what sweet words he could come up with in order to survive.
But as several psychics had already started to take action, the Diary realized that it had more important things to do, so it focused its attention and stopped listening to Lu Jiamu.
The diary didn't make any special movements, but the ghost holding the diary stepped back.
Noticing this body language information, Lu Jiamu realized that it was tired of listening and was about to take action, so he ended his chatter, smiled helplessly at the diary, and turned and ran away.
The dozen or so ghosts around the diary immediately chased after it and began to attack it continuously, but they couldn't hit it at all.
Diary hadn't expected to catch him now.
Although Lu Jiamu is very difficult to kill because of his ability, his physical strength and energy are always limited, and his skills cannot be used infinitely. As long as you use the ghost sea tactics to walk him around, he will inevitably be exhausted to death.
When he was led to exhaustion and could no longer use any abilities, and could no longer run, Diary stabbed him for the final time. He was still considered dead at the hands of Diary.
Their friendship will become perfect.
