"Teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts!" Fei Yi took over and said, "I talked with him some time ago. He taught at a not-so-famous Academy of Fine Arts, but the city where the academy is located happens to be the city where I live. At the time, I thought it was fate between the two of us, and I also opened a gallery, so I had a very good conversation with Teacher Zhou. Looking back now, Xue Teng was also in that academy of fine arts."

"We are all in the same school, so the possibility of knowing each other is really high!" Huang Xiaoque said.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Wu Zhonggui looked a little frightened.

Huang Xiaoque said: "Why do all of us who survived know Xue Teng? Don't you think this is weird?"

Kong Qian had already understood the content of the conversation upstairs and asked: "You mentioned the 'subjective world' before. Is it related to Xue Teng?"

"We have discovered before that this is not the real world." Huang Xiaoque said: "The subjective world is just a vague concept, maybe an illusion, maybe a dream. I actually thought about it, maybe this is just a nightmare, You are all the characters in my dream. Freud said that dreams are the 'fulfilment of wishes'. The encounter between Kong Qian and I was indeed what I dreamed of. Kong Qian and I broke up due to past events, and Xue Teng was It is a character related to the past. All these factors constitute the reason why I suspect that I am in a dream. But soon I realized that the problem is that even the so-called wishes are composed of things we already know. Hallucinations or Dreams are actually the same, that is, there is only one subject! As long as I know that I really exist, I should be the subject of this subjective world. Even if everything that happens here is bizarre, it is the reorganization and transformation of things that I already am. of."

"However, a lot of the information I got was beyond my scope of knowledge." Huang Xiaoque sighed and said, "For example, the astrology mentioned by Mr. Fei, Chen Qian's understanding of the island and the palm trees The result time, etc. This gives me the feeling that you actually exist, rather than being a product of my subjective world."

Chen Qian took a breath and said, "This idea is indeed weird, but it makes people find no reason to refute it."

Wang Long scratched his head, "Although I don't know what you are talking about, my foot injury tells me that this must not be a dream! This damn thing is too painful. If it were a dream, I would have woken up long ago."

Wang Long's useless words made Kong Qian shake her head, and she asked: "I can indeed feel that you are real. Does that mean this is a dream shared by everyone?"

Fei Yi was surprised: "Why do you have such an idea?"

"We are no longer in the real world. It's hard to overthink it, right?" Huang Yimei said.

"Impossible! Everything exists in accordance with laws." Wu Zhonggui said: "Huang Xiaoque's speculation about the 'subjective world' is bizarre, but it is still within the acceptable category. From the perspective of psychology... Even from common sense, there can only be one person who dreams, and he becomes the creator of the dream. Everything else is illusory, including the creator himself, because the subject of the dreamer is the dream, not the dream state The characters in the dream. But if the characters in the dream are real, it means... "

Huang Xiaoque said: "We were pulled into someone's dream! Based on the similarities between us, the dreamer is probably Xue Teng! And everything here is Xue Teng's conscious world. "

"This kind of thing... I seem to remember that there is a precedent." Wu Zhonggui said: "The 1976 Ally incident in California, USA!"

"Ai Li incident?" Huang Xiaoque asked.

Wu Zhonggui said with some embarrassment: "Although I am a psychiatrist, I am very concerned about some research in the field of parapsychology. I saw this in a science fiction magazine, and it was about what happened in California in 1967. A bizarre incident.”

"A man named Garriott returned home and found his daughter Ally fainted on the ground, but his wife was missing. He sent his daughter to the hospital and called the police to find his missing wife. However, two days later, There was still no sign of his wife. When Ellie woke up on the third day, she said she had had a strange dream, in which her stepmother was tortured by herself. That day, Garriott's wife actually came back. She told Garriott Special, she was trapped in a strange place for several years and was tortured by a monster with the face of her daughter. It was not until she sincerely repented and promised to treat her daughter well that she returned to the real world. The parapsychologist Eberron at the time After a series of studies, it was discovered that there was a mutation in the pineal gland in Ellie's brain. From time to time, supernatural events such as the sudden breakage of water glasses and strange noises in the middle of the night would occur in Ellie's home. Eberron believed that the mutated pineal gland caused Ellie's The mental power is beyond ordinary people and will interfere with the real world. Because Ellie was often abused by her stepmother, her mental power exploded under extreme circumstances, which resulted in pulling people into the subconscious world."

When Wu Zhonggui said this, Chen Qian couldn't help but not believe it. He shook his head and said slowly: "Such a thing really happens!"

"But..." Chen Qian said: "Why do we, the people who know Xue Teng, happen to meet together?"

"This is another question I want to talk about." Huang Xiaoque said, "Do you still remember how you got the boat ticket?"

"It was a gift from the lottery," Chen Qian said matter-of-factly. "At that time, I received a letter saying that it was a gift for participating in the lottery with credit card points. I didn't believe it at first, but there was a ferry ticket in the envelope."

"It's strange. My ferry ticket also said that it was given to me for a certain event. Because I verified that the ticket was genuine, I didn't think much about it." Fei Yi said, "There are two tickets in total. I originally wanted to bring my wife here, but She's in trouble at the moment and can't be saved."

Wang Long also said: "This one is even weirder. It was sent from a supermarket! I thought it was a luxury cruise ship with food and accommodation included, so I wanted to try my luck. I didn't expect it to be real! I only have one ticket."

Huang Xiaoque confirmed one by one and found that none of the tickets were bought by him. Now that I think about it, with the living standards of Xiao Lili, Pang Cheng and Zhou Zhimao, they don't look like people who can afford luxury cruises.

"Then the matter is very clear. Almost everyone here has had conflicts with Xue Teng, and this person has an extreme personality and is very vindictive." Huang Xiaoque said: "It is very likely that our tickets were given to us by Xue Teng. He wants to bring us together to exact his revenge!”

"Retaliation? I didn't look for him to provoke him, why did you look for me!" Chen Qian shouted.

Huang Xiaoque said: "You are the rich second generation, and his family is in decline. Of course you are the most jealous person!"

"Is it wrong for MD's family to have money?" Chen Gan couldn't help but cursed.
