After hearing Chen Lu's request, the proprietress immediately turned cold, as if she wanted to refuse.
But Chen Lu's left eye emanated a ghostly aura, and even Kayako couldn't resist the coercive agreement of the ghost's eyes, so these two little ghosts were not qualified.
"Okay, I said..."
After a while, it was still the proprietress who let go first, and the beggar still sat on the chair dully, ignoring him.
"At twelve o'clock in the night, a big clock will appear somewhere. The location is unknown. After the clock appears, the bell will ring. The closer you are to the bell, the more you will be affected by the bell."
"That's all I can say.... the deal is closed."
Right in front of Chen Lu, the proprietress and the beggar disappeared out of thin air, leaving only Chen Lu and Zhang Meng'er.
They would not tell Chen Lu any more information, and chose to disappear in place.
However, Chen Lu also got the information she wanted. She has confirmed that a big clock will appear at twelve o'clock at night.
That clock must be inextricably linked to this dream world, Chen Lu had to find that big clock, maybe destroy the big clock, and the dream would disappear.
"let's go."
Chen Lu said to Zhang Menger, then turned and left.
"Hmm... huh?"
Zhang Menger came back to her senses, quickly caught up with Chen Lu's back, and asked:
"So where do we go now?"
"Go see some other people in chains, and find out where Wang Ren is."
"What, the person in charge Wang also came in?"
"What's wrong, can't he be cursed by ghosts?"
"No... I just feel that everyone is quite together... "
...
evening.
Although Chen Lu and Zhang Meng'er didn't feel hungry in the dream, they still found a Haidilao to sit down and enjoy a good meal.
"Brother Chen, do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment... It feels so good to be able to relax and eat in the dream without worrying about getting fat!"
Zhang Meng'er picked up a large stack of fat cows and poured them into his mouth.
"No, no, no... I really can't eat anymore, Chen Lu, you should eat more too."
"Really?"
Chen Lu looked at Zhang Meng'er suspiciously, doubting:
"You said the same thing before Five Plates of Fat Cow... how many more times are you going to say it?"
"Hahaha Brother Chen, you are so humorous, you are worthy of the September Myth."
"... "
Chen Lu was speechless, what's so humorous about this!
Chen Lu looked out the window. He chose to eat here, not randomly, because he could see the most trafficked intersection here and observe everyone passing by.
"Look... there's another victim."
Chen Lu pointed out the window. A timid man with a red chain was wandering on the street.
They have been sitting here all day, and they have already seen more than a dozen people wearing red chains. These people should all be sluts who have fallen into a dream.
Now that there are so many hackers, the Security Bureau should have protected them all...
It's just that Chen Lu didn't see Wang Xiaoxiao and A Qiang at all, which was a pity.
Zhang Meng'er ordered another plate of fat beef, and then expressed her confusion:
"Brother Chen... We have already watched a dozen people coming and going, why don't we go down and look for them? Just watch? Hurry up and protect them, lest they do those things Terrible task."
Listening to what Zhang Menger said, Chen Lu picked up his chopsticks and poked it on the table, then got into the hot pot, grabbed a piece of hairy belly, and said:
"If they want to do the task, they just do it... After all, this is a dreamland. Could it be that we can even manage the crimes in the dreamland?"
"They didn't really kill people... And with so many people, don't you worry about being framed again?"
"Who dares to frame people from the Security Bureau?! They heard that you are Chen Lu, and they wished you could protect them."
Zhang Meng'er obviously holds a different view, and what she said is indeed reasonable. Most people will not do those things that violate morality after hearing the name of the Security Bureau.
"Let's have a look at it tonight...there are too many of them, maybe there are undercover agents who got into the dream."
"And our task is to completely solve this dream, so let's ignore these side details."
"OK."
Zhang Meng'er continued to immerse herself in her hot pot, while Chen Lu was also lost in thought.
After observing for so long, he discovered a problem, that is, these people only have one red chain.
That is to say, here, it seems that there are only two chains and people with only one chain.
But Wang Dong obviously appeared with four chains and then died, which means the upper limit of chains is four.
Is it possible that people with more than two chains are hiding
Or... is this a double-deck dream
This is a commonly used method in dreams, and Inception has been played badly.
So what are the ways to enter the next level of space
As long as you have more than two chains, you will automatically enter, so can you go down through other channels
That clock... there is a possibility that it is the passage.
Chen Lu made many conjectures, but he didn't know the result.
Real knowledge comes from practice, and Chen Lu has to try to get the answer.
Night is coming.
And at night, the test will also come.
...
"Eh, don't eat it."
Chen Lu pushed Zhang Menger, Zhang Menger put down her chopsticks, and patted her stomach contentedly.
"OK OK."
Zhang Meng'er looked out of the window, her originally satisfied expression suddenly turned serious.
"Why... everyone disappeared?"
Chen Lu looked around, all the crowds disappeared at a certain moment, and they reacted belatedly.
"catch me."
Chen Lu stretched out his big hand and took Zhang Menger's small hand.
Because he was worried that the dreams at night would separate people, he planned to use the ghost to resist directly.
"snort."
A cold snort suddenly appeared behind Chen Lu. Although Chen Lu didn't want to react on the surface, he was actually in a cold sweat from fright.
They wouldn't even eat the little girl's vinegar, would they
"Brother Chen, why are your palms so sweaty? Are you nervous?"
"without."
Chen Lu shook his head, turned his attention to the police, and was on guard against possible crises.
"Follow me."
Chen Lu urged again, walked to the elevator, and prepared to go downstairs.
Although it was only eight o'clock, Chen Lu always felt that the dream would not make them wait for four hours until twelve o'clock, and it was very likely that the clock tower would appear in the next quarter.
And there's a chance that monsters like last night's will appear tonight, too.
"Chen Lu..."
Zhang Menger let out a cry, Chen Lu suddenly turned around, and found that Zhang Menger's eyelids were clenched and she was drowsy.
"Zhang Menger, Zhang Menger!"
Chen Lu shook Zhang Menger's body. Although Zhang Menger tried her best to resist, it was obvious that she was going to be dragged into the dream.
Once Zhang Meng'er left, and she couldn't escape the pursuit of Dreamland tonight, then if she had two chains, Chen Lu would not be able to find Zhang Meng'er.
Can't disperse...
Chen Lu's eyes brightened.
Since I want to take Zhang Meng'er away... then I will go with her!
