Chapter 23 Intervention in the Dream
Gudong...gudong...
It was completely dark, and the sound of a large number of bubbles floating slowly floated in consciousness, just like sleeping at the bottom of the deepest ocean.
Then, the sudden sound of broken water swept away the dead silence.
Wow—!
Suddenly, consciousness awakened from the chaos.
"Huh..." Lin Sheng took a deep breath and shook his head hard, as if he had not recovered.
"This feeling has been a long time since."
After the consciousness in my mind was completely stabilized, the surrounding environment gradually began to become clearer in Lin Sheng's vision.
Looking around, Lin Sheng found that he was on a not-so-broad street, surrounded by several groups of buildings that looked a little old, which seemed a bit crowded.
Since it was dinner time, there was not a lot of people nearby, but it could barely be called a bustling crowd.
At this moment, the pedestrians who were passing by did not feel shocked at Lin Sheng who was in the crowd, and seemed to have not noticed that the person in front of him suddenly appeared in this place at some moment.
After confirming that the current environment is still safe, Lin Sheng turned to the priority of his clothes.
At this moment, the clothes on her body have undergone great changes due to the correction power of the dream. They are no longer the extremely conspicuous airborne uniform they wore before the incident, but have become a relatively ordinary normal suit.
A thin long down jacket is paired with relatively tight winter trousers, and a pair of leather Martin boots on its feet. This is a very normal outfit in winter.
After touching my pocket, in addition to a mobile phone that looks very ordinary but can be used, I even cared about a box of cigarettes with a lighter.
Lin Sheng knew that this was the limit that Pussy could do, and the power of dream correction was undoubtedly very powerful for the consciousness of intervening in events.
In addition to passing in the information of the weapon module, there are very few things left to carry with you.
After moving on the spot for a few times and feeling the degree of restraint that clothes bring to his body, Lin Sheng returned to the "normal" look in the strange gaze that came from others.
"Fortunately, the flexibility is OK, it doesn't affect the action too much."
So I took my eyes from a shop on the roadside that was already deserted due to the Spring Festival holiday, and then turned around.
The surrounding buildings all look older, including two similar buildings located across the road, which made Lin Sheng feel a little familiar. He carefully identified that one of them was the apartment where he had landed before.
"As expected, I will be sent to a location near the place where the incident happened as before."
Lin Sheng took out his cell phone and dialed the contact information that Puxi had saved for him in the address book. It was Jiang Mian's mobile phone number in reality. In addition, this cell phone can also locate the other party's current location after answering the phone.
However, as I waited for a few seconds, a prompt voice that the other party had turned off came from the receiver.
Then Lin Sheng stopped hesitating and immediately walked towards the neighborhood across the road.
Located at the entrance of the community is a security booth guarding the smart gate. After the path naturally bypassed the direction the security booth could scan, Lin Sheng quietly approached a corner position about ten meters away from the pavilion from the side.
Here is the visual blind spot behind the security guard sitting inside the security booth.
Lin Sheng stood there and lit a cigarette, and began to wander back and forth from time to time, pretending to be a man who walked outside to let the air because of smoking. In fact, whenever he walked to the position where the security booth could see, he would look at the direction of the window with his own light.
Through the window glass of the security booth, Lin Sheng saw the scene in the pavilion at this time. A security guard who was about 40 or 50 years old was too bored. He was sitting in his seat and watching the content of the program on the portable TV seriously. The picture was an extremely boring children's education program. Several children raised their hands high and rushed to answer some questions raised by the teacher.
Lin Sheng was a little troubled. If he wanted to find the target, he obviously needed to enter the apartment where he was located, but now the community gate that required electronic access control to pass is a troublesome problem in front of him.
Although the security booth can control the opening and closing of the electronic door, this requires visiting registration and the owner's certificate to be released.
It is obviously not feasible to choose to break through forcibly. If the dream is still consistent with the situation in his memory, then the dream with the characteristics of DS (Honomous Dream Event)-R (Reality Reduction) 5 (Level 5 Reduction, which can roughly replicate and restore people and objects within the entire city) is obviously the existence of the police.
Even if he can break through from the front to the community in an overclocked state at this moment, he may face searches and pursuits from the police.
Although the identity of a member of the Shrike is extremely special, he is not only unable to prove his identity in his dream, but will instead be detained for a certain time limit because he is very suspicious.
If possible, Lin Sheng does not want to cause trouble, which may cause great hindrance to his subsequent actions.
Every event is very dangerous. Once there is a slight accident or an accident occurs in a certain link, or even loses mobility in the event, the outcome will undoubtedly be no different from death.
But waiting like this is not a solution after all. Lin Sheng immediately began to consider the possibility of "waiting for the traffic around him to decrease or even a brief period of no one passing by, he would break into the pavilion and stun the security guard in a short time, then remove the security gate, and delete all monitoring records of the security guard booth and the community gate within one hour."
If this idea could be implemented smoothly, the subsequent actions would become much easier because there was no surveillance inside the old apartment, which was the information he had confirmed before intervening.
But in the reality of the meal, he soon gave up the plan that was relatively complicated and complicated and prone to unexpected results when implemented. If he really put it into action, someone would see it and call the police soon.
Lin Sheng was a little anxious at this moment, because the target's phone could not be connected, so he could not determine the other party's condition at this moment.
Although I know that time can't be delayed too long, I can't do anything at the moment.
According to the information monitored by the Shrike, although the target's band curve value rose abnormally, it was only a few minutes after it recovered.
According to the reality-restored dream, basically the ratio of "reality one hour corresponds to dream twenty-four hours", his intervention time is very timely. The target should have just encountered the "ghost" not long ago, and meeting him as soon as possible can take the maximum defense.
After all, in Lin Sheng's memory, the horror and difficulty of this incident were unprecedented. The last time he almost died in this incident. If it weren't for Xiao Qian's life to be exchanged for his life, he wouldn't have been standing here now. Therefore, he rejected Nan Mingyuan's request for execution in just a few words.
In a single dream, a "protagonist" can only provide the consciousness capacity of a dreamer, so that the other party can intervene in this incident.
If the result this time must be that there will be no return, then dying in this place with Xiao Qian would not seem very difficult to accept.
Lin Sheng smiled like a little self-deprecatingly, then withdrew his thoughts, retreated to the hidden corner, and began to observe whether there were other ways to enter quietly.
Then he noticed a little further away, a woman who looked like she had just returned from the doorstep of the community, and was slowly walking towards the direction where the entrance to the community was.
The woman was wearing a casual winter outfit and a knitted hat for warmth on her head. She looked very young, her face was filled with collagen, and one hand was awkwardly carrying a shopping basket full of various meat and vegetables ingredients. It was like she had just become a full-time housewife shortly after her wedding and was not familiar with these daily life yet. At this moment, her other hand was looking for something in her shoulder bag.
Seeing this, Lin Sheng, who was located in the corner, immediately decisively stepped on the cigarettes. Then when the woman was about to approach the entrance of the community, she walked out from the corner at a relatively natural angle. While getting closer, she began to snatch her pockets and kept muttering something in her mouth.
"Where is the key? I remembered it with me when I came out..."
It seemed that Lin Sheng felt the difference in his acting skills, and he couldn't help but want to complain.
But the woman did not look in the direction he was in. She just found the access card and keys of the community entrance and apartment, and walked towards the slightly old smart door. Seeing this, Lin Sheng no longer thought about it, and immediately pretended to be "Fortunately, a neighbor could take me for a ride" look and walked quickly to the woman.
"Cruff, woo--"
The already old smart door slowly opened after sensing the electronic access control, and the woman carrying the vegetable basket and Lin Sheng walked in one after another.
When passing by the security booth, Lin Sheng looked at the situation inside the security booth with his eyes.
A circular clock hung on the wall inside the pavilion. The style looks like a very traditional mechanical clock. The hour and minute hands on it are now staying at 6:22.
There were all kinds of items in the storage cabinet not far away. I don’t know if it was the security guard’s own items or the owner’s entrusted them here.
A list of owners with photos is placed on the table at the front desk, which is also marked with the "2045 Community Collective Culture Memorial".
The security guard still sat in the sitting position he saw before. Although the door had opened and closed for a while, the latter never raised his head to pay attention to them.
Instead, he kept watching the cheap portable TV, as if the content on it was extremely interesting to him, so he had no concern about their in and out behavior at all.
Sitting upright, but not very conscientious.
After entering the community, Lin Sheng slowed down slightly and walked behind the woman, silently praying that the other party's home was the apartment B where he was targeting.
It seemed as if he had heard the sound of praying in his heart at this moment. The woman in front of him decisively walked towards the branch on the right at an intersection on the road that came towards him. Lin Sheng then felt a little bit of gratitude secretly.
The whole process looks very smooth, and the next step is to find the target and meet with it.
When entering the apartment, the woman who opened the door gently pressed the door and smiled and signaled the neighbor in front of her to enter together.
Looking at the bright hall in the apartment, Lin Sheng immediately smiled slightly at the kind female neighbor. After saying "Thank you", he followed the woman into the apartment gate.
Following the woman through the first floor lobby of Building B apartment, then passing through a corridor that looked like it was still being renovated, so that various materials were placed in a slightly messy way, the two gradually walked to the place where the elevator was.
Lin Sheng, who was walking behind the woman, had already put away his smile along the way and turned back to his expressionless face.
"bite--"
The elevator opened, and the woman walked into it with a full basket of vegetables, then turned around in the elevator and looked at Lin Sheng who was still outside the door.
After a long time, Lin Sheng did not follow into the elevator.
"Aren't you coming in?" The woman pressed the door key and then made a sound for the first time. The voice was soft and pleasant, but the emotional fluctuations between the lines were not very large.
Lin Sheng did not step in after a long time. He just looked at the wall above the elevator at this moment, and then let time pass by, one after another...
The elevator room with several lights just been renovated and the elevator was very bright at this time, as if it was part of the day at night. The two of them used the elevator door as the divider, and the inside and the outside were silent.
"The property of this apartment is very responsible." After a few seconds, Lin Sheng spoke slowly.
The woman in the elevator car did not reply, but just looked at Lin Sheng dumbly.
"The last time I came, most of the light sources in the corridor were broken."
"I didn't expect it to be renovated so soon."
"So I won't go home today."
The other party still looked at Lin Sheng's position without opening, as if it was because Lin Sheng's words did not have clear logical connections, and she fell into a long-term doubt. Then, she released the button to keep the elevator open, and the elevator entered the countdown that was about to close.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
The woman in the elevator car kept staring at Lin Sheng, and Lin Sheng also looked at the other person with a normal expression.
Inside and outside the elevator, the positions of the two people have never changed at all.
The short-term door opening time passed quickly. With a "buzzing" sound, the mechanical module started to operate, and the doors on both sides began to slowly move closer to the middle position.
a little.
a little.
In Lin Sheng's eyes, it seemed to be extremely long.
Then in the woman's sight that had never moved.
There was a "bang".
Chapter completed!
