5.The remaining

As soon as the director left, the whole room fell silent. To Jiang Yanche's surprise, the first person to start scolding was actually the captain Si Qin!

He was not brainwashed by the director, nor was he tempted by the big cake. He still retained his own opinions and thinking ability.

In addition to Si Qin and Jiang Yanche, the only one who was not blinded by the interests was Luo Wuyou.

Si Qin was not brainwashed because he was old and experienced; Jiang Yanche was interrupted by the inexplicable flashback; and Luo Wuyou...

Ahem... It was just that he was too young and had no great demand or concept for money, interests, etc.

After being yelled at by Si Qin, the rest of the people regained their rationality, and their eyes were full of fear.

"Everyone, although we didn't know each other before, in the case of X Company, we have a great chance of success in the lawsuit."

The dreamer in the "capsule" on the far right seemed to have a good understanding of legal knowledge and had been talking about legal issues from the beginning.

But it was not only Jiang Yanche who realized the conspiracy of X Company. Si Qin sighed and patiently explained the ineffectiveness of legal aid.

Now, the eight people in this room are equivalent to patients in a mental hospital, and no one will listen to them. From a sociological perspective, the eight of them have been separated from society and become "residuals".

"Okay, let's take it one step at a time. From another perspective, I am actually quite curious about dream exploration."

Jiang Yanche spoke up to break the deadlock.

The eight of them can be said to be grasshoppers on the same rope. Instead of complaining madly here, it is better to discuss some practical matters.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Jiang Yanche, a graduate student in literature, 25 years old, preparing for a doctorate. After having nightmares for more than ten days, I came here inexplicably."

Someone took the lead, and others followed one after another. No matter what the current situation is, self-introduction is a must.

While listening to the self-introductions of others, Jiang Yanche silently made notes in his mind. Liberal arts students have outstanding memory.

Among the eight people who entered the dream, there are six men and two women.

The oldest is Si Qin, 36 years old. He is a veteran and seems to still work in relevant departments. Si Qin is very skilled, which is one of the reasons why the director chose him as the team leader.

The youngest is Luo Wuyou, 18 years old, a medical undergraduate.

As for the others, as Jiang Yanche guessed, the one near the wall on the other side of the room is a lawyer, 30 years old, male, and seems to be called Zhang Xiaowei.

For the convenience of calling, the others discussed and simply called him Zhang Wei.

In addition to Jiang Yanche and Luo Wuyou, there is another student named Yong Li, female, 20 years old, a French undergraduate at the Foreign Languages ​​School.

Yes, she is the one who just questioned the director.

The other three have already entered society and belong to different industries. No matter how you look at it, the eight people seem to have nothing in common.

That night, under the organization of the director, X Company held a commendation meeting for the eight dreamers. At the meeting, the big screen played the clips of the eight people escaping from nightmares one by one.

The screen reflected the faces of the eight people, each of them expressionless, and embarrassment spread in their hearts.

It is said to be a commendation meeting, but in Jiang Yanche's view, it is more like a benefit for other employees of X Company. And the eight of them are like clowns, performing for them on the screen. Other employees look at them as if they are watching eight jokes.

This nightmare assessment prepared by X Company for dreamers also shows from the side that they can indeed keep people in dreams for a long time.

Huh?

Because Jiang Yanche finally escaped from the nightmare, in the end, the screen was frozen at the part where he escaped from the dream.

Others didn't care much, but Jiang Yanche was attracted by the starlight under him on the screen.

He was sure that this starlight was real. After falling to the height of one floor, he inexplicably entered the world of beautiful mountains and clear waters. Before that, he had already felt the fall stop. But strangely, although the fall stopped, the feeling of weightlessness still existed at that time.

Similarly, it was because he suddenly stopped falling from the high-speed state. The transition between stillness and movement was too abrupt, and coupled with the stimulation of weightlessness, he woke up from the nightmare and completed the nightmare screening of X Company.

Starlight... Stars...

Jiang Yanche's pupils shrank, and he touched his shirt inconspicuously.

Because his clothes were changed into special clothes made by X Company, there were no pockets, let alone the main card of the tarot card [Star].

Thinking of [Star], Jiang Yanche thought of the old woman who told fortunes for others.

He was absolutely sure that the old woman was not set up by X Company, but another existence that he could not understand for the time being.

Tsk, so messy...

Many puzzles have been solved, but more puzzles are emerging like a tide.

Jiang Yanche shook his head, and he found that he had already accepted the existence of the dream world in a subtle way.

And it seemed that these doubts in his heart could only be answered in the dream world...

Buzz!

Without any signs, Jiang Yanche only felt a tinnitus.

His originally chaotic thoughts were interrupted, and the dim screening room disappeared in front of him, and he came to the fairyland again.

Jiang Yanche couldn't help but close his eyes slightly when the strong light entered his eyes.

"Who... are you?"

Timidly, just when Jiang Yanche was at a loss because of the scene change, a female voice fell into his ears.

Being messed up by X Company, Jiang Yanche's nerves were tense and his vigilance reached the peak.

"My name is Jiang Yanche, where is this..."

"Hello, my name is Xilan Ningshang, that Jiang..."

"Jiang Yanche, Jiang in the Yangtze River, with clear words."

"Jiang Yanche, were you originally in a weak light?"

Jiang Yanche took this opportunity to look around and see more of the scenes of this strange world. But the feeling of powerlessness reappeared, and he wanted to turn his head, but he couldn't do it.

He turned his head when he focused, but the scene in front of him completely disappeared, and he returned to the dimly lit screening room of X Company.

"It seems that there is a visual exchange between us."

"Visual exchange?"

"Yes." Xilan Ningchang's initial timidity disappeared, and at this moment, she revealed a calmness that surprised Jiang Yanche, "Have you heard of soul exchange? It's probably this."

"No..."

Jiang Yanche was confused.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down:

"Why do we have a visual exchange... or sharing?"

"I don't know, maybe there is something between us that resonates and connects."

Jiang Yanche: "Are you in the dream world?"

"...Dream world...Dream world? How do you know this?"

...

Silence, Jiang Yanche didn't know what to say. After signing the confidentiality agreement, he couldn't reveal more.

Similarly, Xilan Ningchang was thoughtful and stopped talking. The result of the first conversation between the two people was that they were all embarrassed.

"...Um, sorry, I may need to slow down."

It was still Jiang Yanche who spoke first. He focused his attention, took the initiative to end the visual sharing, and looked around. It was amazing that the communication just now seemed to be completely carried out with consciousness. He didn't speak, and no one around paid attention to him. After saying something to others, Jiang Yanche went to the bathroom.

It was eight o'clock in the evening. It had been nearly half a day since he woke up from the nightmare, and the paralysis of his limbs gradually eased.

And Jiang Yanche didn't want to think about anything now. He just wanted to take a cold shower to calm down.

...

On the other side, an unknown place.

On the small island between the mountains and rivers, Xilan Ningchang patted the hem of her skirt and stood up from the grass. Turning around, he walked into a one-story white cottage.

The furnishings in the hut were simple.

A bed, a desk, and a chair.

On the desk, a card slowly flashed white light, as if sensing something. On the back of the card was a yellow star on a dark blue background that Jiang Yanche was familiar with.

Tarot card!

Xilan Ningchang picked it up. On the front, there was a white tower struck by lightning. Two or three people with hideous faces fell from the tower.

Sensing the flashing frequency of the tarot card, Xilan Ningchang's eyes slowly narrowed:

"Jiang Yanche... [Stars]... "

...
