4.Dreamer

The contract has the jargon that is unique to contracts, and the clauses are well-regulated. At first glance, there is no problem. But there are several clauses that Jiang Yanche cannot understand, such as:

The "dream-entering" position must comply with the principle of absolute confidentiality, and the staff of the position are referred to as "dream-enterers". The only responsibility is to help Company X explore dreams, obtain ways to control dreams, and open up new business channels for Company X.

This clause seems to have been added later. Whether it is the language logic or the tone, it is completely different from other clauses and is more colloquial.

When reading this clause, Jiang Yanche just felt that he was reading a fantasy novel.

What does it mean? Dreams can still be explored and controlled?

Jiang Yanche suddenly felt that he might be a normal person, and the real mental problem seemed to be this entire company.

It is obvious that Company X is a two-faced company. On the surface, it is a normal pharmaceutical company, but in secret, it is still carrying out other projects, just like this dream exploration.

After reading the two contracts, there are his own handwritten signatures at the end. Whether it is the pen strokes or the degree of neatness, there is no difference from his own handwriting. But he still firmly believed in his memory - he had no impression of this contract!

Even if he did a handwriting identification, it would most likely be identified as the person who signed it. Jiang Yanche frowned slightly. Whether it was a forged signature or his memory was changed by drugs, what Company X did could be classified as illegal.

What on earth do these crazy people want to do?

There was nothing good about the contract. Jiang Yanche studied literature and didn't know much about the law. He turned his attention to the medical examination form, and the first thing that caught his eye was Jiang Yanche's personal information:

Name, gender, home address...

Blood routine test and other data were all normal, but in the diagnosis column, the neatly printed font was very eye-catching.

[Preliminary diagnosis: mild bipolar disorder. It is recommended to stay in hospital for observation]

Stay in hospital for observation? What hospital?

Just as he was about to continue paying attention to the medical examination report, Luo Wuyou suddenly exclaimed: "How could I have moderate bipolar disorder? You must be mistaken, I don't have any mental problems!" In a trance, Jiang Yanche's confused thoughts seemed to have found an exit - a path to the truth! Suddenly, he understood why the eight of them had reasons to appeal to Company X, but the director was not nervous at all. This is a pharmaceutical company. It is normal for a pharmaceutical company to support the establishment of a mental sanatorium, right? If Jiang Yanche guessed correctly, each of the eight of them had a medical examination report, signed and stamped by a doctor... the procedures were 100% perfect. And each of them was diagnosed with at least one mental illness. It is normal for patients with mental illness to be kept in a mental sanatorium for recuperation. As for their own protests and rebuttals, Company X may never have worried about this issue.

He smiled, feeling helpless.

Mental patients usually say they are not sick. Even if they appeal, the public is unlikely to believe Jiang Yanche and his one-sided words compared to a possible mental patient and a professional psychiatrist.

It can be said that this is an almost unsolvable way of detention. At least now, Jiang Yanche is already in a state of resignation.

Company X is well prepared. There must be a team behind the "Entering Dreams" project. The eight of them cannot compete with a whole professional team.

"What evidence does your company have that dreams can be controlled?"

Before the others burst into anger, Jiang Yanche spoke first and stared at the director.

The director glanced at Jiang Yanche and pointed at the "capsule" under everyone:

"It has been three years since the "Entering Dreams" project was decided. A month ago, our company made a major technological breakthrough.

"Our company has discovered that everyone in the world dreams after falling asleep. These dreams seem chaotic, but in fact they can all be connected. After these dreams are integrated, a complete dream world can be constructed, which our company calls "Dream World". "

Dream world? When everyone dreams, is he actually in another virtual world, or the same one?

In just three or four sentences, everyone's three views were overturned.

Director: "You may not be able to accept it, but our company can give relevant examples. Human beings are currently at a very shallow stage of brain development. Have you ever thought about why people sometimes have the same dream for several consecutive days? Why did people have the same dream in different beds in history?

"And all of this can be explained by our company's new discovery. It is precisely because everyone's dreams can be connected, so you will appear in other people's dreams under certain circumstances, other acquaintances—even some people you have never met."

Jiang Yanche listened and was fascinated. Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed. The director, the white room…all disappeared, and the beautiful world of mountains and clear waters appeared before his eyes again.

Unlike before, this time the change of sight had a flashback feeling. In just a moment, the director's voice came into his ears again.

But being interrupted like this, Jiang Yanche became much more awake. After realizing it, his back was covered with cold sweat.

The director's words have an inexplicable appeal, which can make people unconsciously believe and immerse in his words. Thanks to the flashback of the scene just now, Jiang Yanche pulled himself out of this state of madness.

This is not surprising. What the director said is still somewhat desirable. Things like sleeping in different beds and dreaming together really exist. In such half-true and half-false words, listeners are more likely to get lost.

Look, the director is still there praising the efforts made by the research team, and Jiang Yanche's mind has drifted to another direction:

Why did he see that beautiful world? Did he arrive there in person, or was it just within his sight?

Is that world the dream world that the director said? Or does he really have bipolar disorder, and it's all his own imagination.

Director: "That's it. Of course, we won't treat you unfairly. The company provides food and accommodation. Your monthly salary of 30,000 will be directly transferred to your family's bank card.

"Si Qin, I appoint you as the captain of the first batch of dreamers. Starting tomorrow, you will officially carry out the exploration mission!"

The director spoke for nearly half an hour, and Jiang Yanche was distracted for half an hour. But he still listened to the general content. After praising the research team, the director emphasized the precautions about "dream entry".

The "capsule" machine under them is a tool that allows people to stay in dreams for a long time. All people in the "dream entry" position are collectively referred to as "dream enterers"!

The primary goal of dream enterers is to find a way to control human dreams. The purpose of X Company is also very clear-control dreams, study dreams, and make profits from them!

It has to be said that dreams have a great impact on people. What dreams you had the night before may affect your mood for the whole day. Some artists are also used to looking for inspiration in dreams.

If X Company can master dreams, it can weave beautiful dreams for the depressed and nightmares for criminals. This kind of dream is very addictive, so the benefits come.

Of course, staying in the dream world for a long time is extremely harmful to the human body. Therefore, the time limit for dreamers to enter the dream world each time is fifteen days. Once fifteen days are up, they will be forcibly awakened by the "capsule". After three days of rest in the real world, they will dream again.

According to the director, the overall shape of this dream world is similar to an inverted pyramid, with a total of twelve layers - it is not clear how Company X got this information - the core of the dream is most likely on the bottom twelfth layer.

The director repeatedly emphasized that what people who enter the dream have to do is to break through layer by layer and try to get the core of the dream.

Before, everyone had experienced a desperate dream similar to Jiang Yanche's. This was Company X's assessment of "applicants". Those who survived before the final death were considered to have passed the interview.

"Yes!"

After being brainwashed by the director, the eyes of the others were already full of enthusiasm and yearning. After all, just now it was equivalent to the boss holding a meeting with employees, and there were many big cakes.

Si Qin, who was just pointed out by the director, had only Luo Wuyou between his "capsule" and Jiang Yanche.

Struggling to raise his head slightly, Jiang Yanche could see the appearance of the captain - unshaven, with obvious crow's feet, about thirty or forty years old.

He was able to become the captain probably because of his age. The director believed that among the eight people, Si Qin had sufficient experience.

"Get ready, we'll be sleeping tomorrow!"

After talking about this and that, and pua everyone, the director kept a fake smile on his face, turned around and led the others out of the room.

"Wow, this is clearly an unfair clause, there is no good person in this company!"
