"You're finally awake." When his consciousness returned to reality, the first thing Lan Tian saw was Zhou Yuqing, who was taking off her device and looking at her. Her face was full of exhaustion and worry.

"How long have I been missing?" From Zhou Yuqing's expression, Lan Tian realized that things might be worse than he imagined.

"Your prosthetic body record is one hundred and twenty-five hours. As for the specific length of time, you can only check it yourself." Zhou Yuqing replied.

"One hundred and twenty-five hours... five days?!" Lan Tian suddenly realized that something was wrong. Even if the time she passed in Li Yin's mind was synchronized with reality, her somatosensory time was only a few hours.

That's all, not to mention that the police have studied the brains of dreamer victims and have scientifically confirmed that time flows faster in the virtual world than in reality.

"What happened to you? It looks like you've seen a ghost." Lan Tian showed such a terrifying expression that made Zhou Yuqing even more worried.

"Have you traced where my consciousness was taken?" Lan Tian asked directly.

"If I were tracked, wouldn't I save you?" Zhou Yuqing spread his hands, "Except for the fact that your consciousness is still online, I can't find out anything else. I don't dare to mess with your brain casually. Even the technical department can't find out anything else.

I don’t understand the principle of your consciousness not giving feedback, you are really a bunch of rubbish.”

"It's not their fault. You would never guess where I have been these past five days." Lan Tian shook her head with a complicated expression. Her mind was a little confused now.

"I want to know, you should tell me." Zhou Yuqing was extremely anxious.

"I am in the mind of another person. You know this person, his name is Li Yin." Lan Tian then announced the correct answer.

"The journalist sister who disappeared in Li Yang?" Zhou Yuqing did not expect to hear this name here, "What on earth are you..."

"I set up a trap on the Internet to trick the dreamer into taking the bait. The guy showed up in order to erase the evidence. Several hackers and I broke into his data flow. No, I don't know if it is still a data flow.

, it was more like a super biological computer composed of the brains of countless victims of the dreamer, and then my consciousness was swallowed into the virtual world composed of Li Yin's brain." Lan Tian continued to explain.

"...It's a shame you were able to get out." Tan Zhou Yuqing, the adventurer of Lantian, was frightened when he heard this. You must know that directly entering other people's brains is extremely dangerous even for hackers, because although humans can use it, it has no influence on the brain.

The operating principle is still unclear, and no one dares to say what the consequences of wantonly invading other people's consciousness will be.

"Don't say it, even I feel that it was too reckless at that time." Lan Tian himself is not afraid, "I only have a few hours of memory saved. As for where the other more than a hundred hours of memory went, I

I guess I have failed several times in Li Yin's brain, but the corresponding memories will be erased after each failure. The hackers who were also involved like me claimed that they don't remember anything. I guess they also agree with me.

After experiencing many failures, each of them seemed very tired, but I didn’t feel anything at all.”

"Not everyone has excellent talents like you. The adaptability of prosthetic bodies is not limited to prosthetic bodies. The degree of mental consumption of wandering consciousness must also be included." Zhou Yuqing attributed this difference to Lan Tian's unique talents.

Report on.

"Maybe." Lan Tian ignored it casually, "Fortunately, although the process was thrilling, the result was pretty good. I got some information from Li Yin's mind."

"For example?" Zhou Yuqing stepped forward curiously.

"For example, Li Yin was framed by Zhao Jin and turned into a brain in a vat like other victims. This proves that Zhao Jin had a cooperative relationship with the dream maker a long time ago. I basically experienced it in her brain.

The whole process of Li Yin's disappearance and the several people involved are very interesting. One of them is Ah Hong, one of the victims who died at the hands of Liu Jie. This person ostensibly works for Yu Wanzhi, but secretly colludes with Zhao Jin.

Hooked up also helped him deal with outside investigators. Another example is that the manager of Zhao Jin's smuggling market may not be as opposed to Zhao Jin as he seems. At least he was still loyal to Zhao Jin at the time of Li Yin's disappearance."

Lan Tian compiled some of the information he had obtained and told Zhou Yuqing.

"If Zhao Jin was still alive, this information would be very useful, but now..." Zhou Yuqing was not sure whether these outdated information still had investigative value.

"It should still be useful. Zhao Jin's death does not mean that everything he created has collapsed. The reason why Li Yin was 'disappeared' was because she investigated that Zhao Jin was hiring some unnoticed people in District 9 in the name of hired workers.

disappear, I seriously doubt that these people will eventually become the same brains in a vat as the victims of the Dream Maker. If there are really so many victims, the Dream Maker needs a safe space to store these heads. The underground controlled by Zhao Jin

It should be most suitable for complicated networks." Lan Tian gave more information.

"What does the dreamer want with so many heads?" Zhou Yuqing asked puzzledly.

"I can't say for sure. He is connecting the brains of these victims in parallel to operate as a biological supercomputer. Although the absolute computing speed is definitely not as fast as a regular quantum supercomputer, at some levels this computer is made of brains.

Supercomputing has more powerful advantages than quantum supercomputing, such as when simulating human-made environmental factors." Lan Tian guessed.

"Yes, after all, it is most efficient to use people to simulate people." Zhou Yuqing frowned and nodded, "I can't explain why, but I always feel that the motivation of the dreamer is not that simple."

"That's for sure. If he didn't have a bigger plot and was just harvesting the heads of people on the margins of society, we might not have discovered him until now." Lan Tian also agrees with the idea that the Dream Maker is planning some big conspiracy.

"Alas, this case is getting more and more confusing." Zhou Yuqing sighed deeply, feeling mentally exhausted as never before.

"Did you also gain something in Japan?" Feeling that Zhou Yuqing's sigh was not just referring to his own discovery, Lan Tian asked.

"Well, the identity of the guy who died in front of Officer Ling has been found out. He is most likely Liu Jie himself." Zhou Yuqing gave Lan Tian a piece of bombshell news.

"Ah?!" Lan Tian was stunned. Is the resurrection of the dead popular these days?

"We interrogated Liu Jie's cousin. He claimed in his testimony that he met Liu Jie again two years after receiving Liu Jie's death pension. Officer Chen and I investigated the location where he provided his testimony. Sure enough,

Traces consistent with the testimony were found. Liu Jie, who was marked by the military as killed in action, was indeed still alive at that time, but he changed his name and entered the country with a false identity. For unknown reasons, he contacted the cousin who had received his pension, but he did not

To carry out any act of blackmail or retaliation, he just showed up suddenly and frightened the cousin into immigrating to Japan." In the past few days when Lan Tian disappeared, others were not waiting. For example, Aaron commented on Liu Gui's testimony.

A false identity used by Liu Jie was confirmed and traced.

"Maybe we should ask the military to find out who issued Liu Jie's death certificate for him?" Lan Tian felt that if we could figure out the ins and outs of Liu Jie's fake death, things might become clearer.

"I wonder who within the military would dare to help us investigate this?" Zhou Yuqing smiled bitterly.

"Well, that's right, no one will poach themselves to help us." Lan Tian understands Zhou Yuqing's distress. The military was originally hostile to the investigation team because it exposed the theft of the arsenal, let alone the investigation team now.

And getting involved with the military's old enemy, the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Even if someone is willing to help the investigation team, they have to consider whether they will be regarded as a traitor by the military's top brass and angered if they reveal the truth.

"Officer Chen has tried every possible means, and even he, who has a past with the military, can't come up with a solution. We can only let go of this line for now." Departmental barriers are probably the beginning of social division of labor in human beings.

It has existed since then, but even now, tens of millions of years later, there is still no suitable solution.
