The car seemed to have stopped after a violent skid.
Yu Zhesen opened the car door, and the cross-sea bridge was brightly lit at night. Looking south, he could see the lighthouse at the Hong Kong Island pier.
The driver was lying on the steering wheel and was unconscious. I don’t know how he stopped the car.
Yu Zhesen turned off the engine, carefully took out the tape recorder from under the seat, and found the thing that pricked his finger - a short stick filled with spikes.
After turning off the tape recorder, he felt better, but there was still a faint grinding sound lingering in his mind.
Chu Yuexi got out of the car and walked towards the guardrail next to the bridge without saying a word. Yu Zhesen was suddenly startled, dropped the tape recorder and chased after her.
He grabbed Chu Yuexi's wrist: "Intern? Please calm down, we still don't know if we have entered a nightmare."
Chu Yuexi lay on the guardrail with a pale face: "I don't want to commit suicide, you don't need to be nervous... I'm just dizzy... I feel like vomiting..."
Yu Zhesen was also a little dizzy, which was caused by the sudden jerk when he stopped the car. However, he had experienced dizziness caused by the sequelae of using his powers too many times, so he was relatively adaptable to this feeling.
"Do you feel better now?"
"Well..." Chu Yuexi responded softly, "I'm fine. You can report it to the Security Bureau first..."
Yu Zhesen looked at the road on the bridge and said, "It doesn't feel right. It's been so long and there are no cars passing by on the bridge."
"Do you think we are already in a dream?"
"You can't make such a simple judgment." Yu Zhesen shook his head.
But there is no good way to test it right now.
Triggering the death prediction requires him to have a method that can ensure death, just like Yu Qingxue did before and sincerely wanted to kill him.
"Do we have a chance to fall asleep?" Chu Yuexi recovered a little, turned around and leaned against the guardrail and asked.
They only drank light drinks with negligible alcohol content at Hongyu Bar. The drinks were taken directly from Ma Yingjie at the bar, so it was unlikely that they would be tampered with.
It's fine to listen to "The Dream Flower That Never Dies" after getting in the car, but can music alone hypnotize people?
Maybe some psychiatrists can do it under special circumstances, but it's definitely not that easy.
Yu Zhesen took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Claire, but soon found that his mobile phone had no signal reception and showed "out of service area".
The same goes for Chu Yuexi's mobile phone. Their electronic devices have lost signal reception, including the electronic bracelets on their wrists.
"How could this happen?" Chu Yuexi panicked, "This area has become an electronic signal desert?"
Is it a coincidence? In the information age, they suddenly lost their communication network, and their audio-visual functions seemed to be deprived.
All kinds of "unreasonable" signs indicated that this was a dream, but Yu Zhesen always remained skeptical.
"Let's go back." Yu Zhesen pulled Chu Yuexi, "This section should be closer to the old city. If we go back, we can get back to the city."
"What about the driver?"
"He passed out. Let's ignore it for now. At least we have to return to the area with signal to contact the security bureau." Yu Zhesen said.
During their discussion, there was still no traffic on the bridge.
Chu Yuexi followed him back and asked anxiously: "If we are in a dream, can we return to reality only by death?"
"No, Sun Minghang told me a concept theory about dream masters today. Dream masters cannot use death to escape from their dreams."
"Then how do we wake up?"
"Sun Minghang said that the dreamer can only find the exit of the dream by himself. In my opinion, it is like sleeping until he wakes up naturally." Yu Zhesen said, "But what if the nightmare prolongs the dream? Maybe in reality the dreamer's
The body only sleeps for a few hours, but it takes a long time to dream."
"So this is a mental injury?" Chu Yuexi reacted.
"Yes, only when the soul and body are compatible can the correct self-perception be formed." Yu Zhesen said solemnly, "In the movie that Sun Minghang watched at his home, the protagonist mentioned that the old soul overwhelms the young body.
”
Although the nightmare may not be able to affect the dreamer's dreams on a large scale, even if it just allows the dreamer to spend his entire life peacefully in his dream, it may directly drive him crazy when he wakes up from the dream in reality. p>
The gap between dreams and reality, like the sense of distance from another life, may cause huge trauma to the human spirit.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally saw the approach section of the cross-sea bridge, with warning lights flashing in the distance and bright yellow electronic roadblocks tightly blocking the road.
Yu Zhesen was stunned: "Is this a traffic accident?"
"No wonder there isn't a passing car on the bridge. The opposite passage at the other end of the bridge should also be blocked, right?"
Yu Zhesen and her walked quickly along the guardrail.
A police car from the Security Bureau was parked behind the electronic roadblock, and a commissioner in a black windbreaker uniform was talking with a walkie-talkie.
The infrared aiming line shines from behind the roadblock and wanders over Yu Zhesen and Chu Yuexi.
"What's going on?"
Only then did Yu Zhesen clearly see that there was a special operations team of the National Defense Forces behind him, which was armed with live ammunition. He slowly raised his hands to show that he had no intention of resisting.
Two SADF soldiers wearing military exoskeletons crossed the electronic roadblock and took them out. After identification, they were handed over to the security bureau personnel at the scene.
From the mouths of the Security Bureau personnel, Yu Zhesen and Chu Yuexi learned about the situation at hand.
Half an hour ago, someone anonymously provoked that his gang would blow up the bridge. At first, the security bureau thought it was a prank and only sent part of the police force to investigate.
But then there was widespread communication interference in Hong Kong Island and the old city. The situation was similar to when the Returned Sect rescued Fu Zhaohai.
"No wonder we felt strange on the bridge..." Chu Yuexi glanced at Yu Zhesen and asked in a low voice: "Yu Zhesen, do you think this is deliberately misleading us?"
Yu Zhesen's expression looked a little heavy, and he was also thinking about Nightmare's intentions.
He took them to the cross-sea bridge in a taxi, lied to the security bureau about bombing the bridge, and launched a large-scale network information attack. What was the purpose behind it?
Do you want to use this method to make him and Chu Yuexi mistakenly think that they are in a dream, and then resort to stupid suicide to escape from the dream in reality?
Although it seems reasonable to think so, there is always a feeling of "making a pot of dumplings just to make some vinegar".
"The communication signal here has been restored." He glanced at his mobile phone, "You can call home first."
"Ah? Then... what should I say?"
"Just say that we are together and you go back later."
Yu Zhesen looked towards the bridge. The intelligent explosive disposal robot had begun to cooperate with the drone. As long as it can be confirmed that this was a false alarm, the road blockade should be over soon.
Chu Yuexi pressed the dial button and put the phone to her ear: "Hey, Mom, Yu Zhesen and I..."
The next second, an exploding fireball was reflected in her dark pupils, and a loud sound spread out along with the scorching air waves.
Yu Zhesen turned his back and opened his arms to protect her. The strong hot wind blew the pungent smell.
A drone flying over the bridge captured a picture of the explosion - the source of the explosion seemed to be under the fourth pier in the northern section of the bridge near the old city, and the bridge deck was blown to the point of exposing cracks in the steel bars.
Chu Yuexi was so surprised that she didn't know what to do. Yu Zhesen took the phone from her hand and said to Chu Yuexi's mother who kept asking: "Auntie, we had an accident here... But don't worry, Chu Yuexi and I are both fine. I will be there soon."
Send her back."
After comforting Chu Yuexi’s mother, Yu Zhesen ended the call.
Chu Yuexi pulled his sleeve and said worriedly: "The taxi that took us... the driver is still in the car!"
"Even if we need rescue, we have to wait until the EOD is over to prevent casualties from secondary explosions." Yu Zhesen said calmly.
Of course, he also hopes that the driver is okay.
Because the driver himself was too suspicious, he changed the route after picking up passengers and put strange audio tapes in the car, as well as spiked short sticks hidden under the seats...
It is not even ruled out that the driver himself is the suspect who caused the explosion.
The thing that Yu Zhesen regrets most now is that he left the tape recorder in the car. Now that he thinks about it, it may be of great investigative value.
He walked towards the security bureau commissioner responsible for on-site command, hoping to observe the situation of the taxi through the drone.
