When Arthur saw the next data jump to zero, he put the tube into his suitcase.
And in the dream hotel, there was another bang on the door - Li Teng now regained his confidence, and he walked towards Cobb. Nash was behind Li Teng.
Li Teng said: "But in my dream, you have to play according to my rules..."
Nash was stunned for a moment: "Ah, yes, but you know, Mr. Li Teng..."
Li Teng turned to Nash, and Cobb said again: "We are not in your dream!"
Li Teng turned back to Cobb, but Cobb had disappeared!
Nash said: "We are in my dream."
Li Teng turned to Nash again, and the door was knocked over from the door leaf. The rioters surged into the house, and the crowd engulfed Nash... But Nash also disappeared. The music stopped, and Li Teng stood there with the rioters,
Silence and silence. The light gradually dimmed...
In the bullet train carriage, Nash's eyes opened and he woke up.
Arthur's voice comes from off-screen: "Damn it!"
Nash blinked his eyes. Arthur stood in front of him, looking extremely angry.
Arthur asked: "How could you get the carpet wrong?"
Nash looked innocent: "That's not my fault!"
Arthur said angrily: "You are the designer!"
Nash shrugged: "I never thought he would rub his cheek against that carpet!"
Cobb pulled Arthur away from Nash: "Let's go."
Arthur: "And you - what the hell is going on?"
Cobb said confidently: "I have ways to control it."
Arthur: "I hate to see the loss of control!"
Cobb said: "We don't have time to do this anymore, I want to get off the bus in Beijing."
Arthur asked: "Why? He doesn't check every car."
"I can't stand trains," Cobb said.
Arthur walked over to the suitcase and turned the dial: "I can let him stay down there for one more minute!"
Arthur pressed a button and a piston deflated. Cobb pulled off the tape on Li Teng's wrist and rolled up his tube. Arthur quickly closed the silver suitcase. Chen Tian opened the compartment door.
Cobb glanced at everyone: "Let's each take care of ourselves."
Arthur and Nash walked out of the carriage door and ran in different directions along the corridor. Cobb threw a thick roll of cash to Chen Tian, and then looked at Li Teng, who was about to wake up. Cobb left.
The bullet high-speed train was speeding through the lush countryside. In the carriage, Li Teng slowly woke up. He looked around the carriage. Chen Tian was the only one reading a comic. Li Teng looked down at his wrist and saw a small
Small mark.
He rubbed it with his hands and smiled.
At dusk, the camera swept over the vast city, and then zoomed to a higher altitude. A helicopter appeared and was flying to a landing pad on the roof of the building.
In the apartment, Cobb sat there waiting for someone. He checked his watch and without resting for a moment, he took out a gun, checked the loaded bullets, and then put the gun on the table in front. He took out a tin lead
The alloy top was spinning on the table... He carefully examined the spinning top. As he stared, the sound of the freight truck became stronger and stronger, and the top began to swing unstable, and then fell to the side.
, the sound of the train also stopped. The phone rang, Cobb grabbed the phone!
The children's voices came from the phone: "Hi, Dad! Hi, Dad."
Cobb couldn't help but smile on his face: "Hey, little guys. How are you?"
The children's voices came from the phone: "Okay. It's okay, I think."
Cobb closed his eyes and tried his best to imagine what the children looked like. The scene flashed back, showing a blond and white-skinned little boy crouching in the garden, looking at something in the grass...
Cobb asked: "Who said it was okay? Was it you, James?"
James's voice came over the phone: "It's me. When will you go home?"
Cobb was silent for a moment: "I can't, not yet."
He thought again of a blond and fair-skinned little girl, also faceless, with James, squatting next to him...
James' voice came over the phone with confusion: "Why?"
Cobb thought for a while and thought: "How to put it, James, like I told you - I left home because I have to work!"
The little girl's voice came from the phone: "Grandma said you will never come back."
Cobb paused and took a breath. He thought of his two children again. Their faces were invisible. They raised their heads from the grass and heard someone calling them. They ran across the garden and disappeared from the screen.
!
Cobb: "Philippa, can you put Grandma on the phone?"
Philippa's voice came from the phone: "She's shaking her head."
Cobb was a little anxious and seemed to want to smash the phone.
Cobb calmed down: "Well, we have to hope that grandma is wrong, okay?"
James: "Dad?"
Cobb: "Tell me?"
James: "Is mom with you?"
Cobb looked like he had been punched, and he fell into memory again. His wife, Mal, appeared, the wind blowing her hair, smiling calmly...
She is still so beautiful, but...
"No, no. We talked about it, James. Mom's gone."
"Where have you gone?"
At this time, grandma's voice came from the phone: "It's time to go, kids. Say goodbye!"
Cobb said: "I will bring the gift to grandpa, okay? You have to be good."
Cobb stared at the hung up phone. Then he drank the drink, and there was a knock on the door. Cobb grabbed the top and gun, walked to the door, and opened the door: he saw Arthur in the crack of the door.
Arthur said: "Our transport is on the roof."
Cobb nodded and walked back to get his bag while Arthur watched.
Arthur asked worriedly: "Cobb, are you okay?"
Cobb raised his head: "It's okay, what?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Arthur sighed: "In the dream, Mal appeared like that."
Cobb nodded: "Yeah, I'm sorry about your leg."
Arthur looked at him: "Things will get worse in the future, right?"
Cobb: "All you want is an apology, Arthur. Now, where is Nash?"
Arthur: "He hasn't shown up yet. Do you want to wait for him?"
Cobb shook his head: "We should have handed over Li Teng's expansion plan to Cobo Engineering Company two hours ago. Now they know that we have failed. It's better for us to disappear immediately."
The scene switched again, and in the corridor, Cobb and Arthur walked towards the elevator.
Arthur asked: "Where are you going?"
Cobb said: "Buenos Aires. I can get away from the limelight there. When things calm down, maybe I'll see what work is available. What about you?"
Arthur said: "Go back to the United States."
Cobb nodded: "Of course, say hello to me."
Arthur looked at Cobb and nodded with sympathy on his face.
It was night on the helicopter landing pad on the roof of the building. The helicopter was parked there, and the propellers were spinning. When Cobb and Arthur walked towards the cabin door, the cabin door opened. Cobb stepped into the leather-padded cabin,
He was stunned.
Because he saw that Nash was beaten until he looked like a bloody man. He was sitting a little further away, looking depressed as if he had drunk too much. Sitting next to him was Li Teng. He nodded politely to Cobb.
.
Li Teng said: "He betrayed you, he wanted to take refuge with me, and bargained with his own life..."
Li Teng's bodyguard handed Cobb a gun: "So I can satisfy you."
Cobb refused: "That's not the way I do things."
Li Teng didn't understand: "Do you still want to work with him?"
Cobb shook his head. Li Teng's bodyguard dragged Nash out of the helicopter. Li Teng motioned for Cobb and Arthur to sit down. The helicopter took off. Cobb watched Nash being dragged from the landing platform.
Cobb couldn't help but ask: "What will you do to him?"
Li Teng shook his head and watched the city outside slowly passing by: "Not very good. But I can't represent your friends from "Cobol Engineering Company"."
Cobb continued: "What do you want from us?"
Li Teng finally stated his purpose: "Implantation of thoughts."
Arthur frowned, and Cobb looked expressionless.
Li Teng continued to ask: "Is this possible?"
Obviously he was not sure, but Arthur immediately said: "Of course it's impossible!"
Li Teng was unwilling to accept it and said, "Since you can steal ideas from other people's heads, why can't you in turn implant ideas into them?"
Arthur said: "Okay, now I'm going to implant an idea: I say to you, "Don't think about the elephant." What are you thinking about now?"
Li Teng said: "Elephant."
Arthur spread his hands: "Yes, but this is not your own idea, because you know this is what I gave you."
Li Teng said: "You can implant your thoughts into your subconscious mind!"
But Arthur soon interrupted him: "The subject's mind can always trace the source of the idea. Real inspiration cannot be forged."
Cobb, who was suddenly thinking and silent, said: "No, that's not the case."
Li Teng immediately turned his head to look at him and asked, "Can you do it?"
Cobb said with a painful look on his face: "I don't want to do it."
But Li Teng was very confident: "In exchange, I can provide you with information that others paid you to steal."
Cobb looked at him: "Are you giving me a chance? I can find a way to settle things with "Cobb Company" on my own."
Li Teng smiled: "So, you can indeed make a choice."
Cobb: "Then I choose to leave."
The helicopter parked next to a private jet, and Li Teng pointed at the plane: "Tell the crew where you want to go, and they will make arrangements and plan your itinerary on the way."
Cobb and Arthur looked at each other, and then they walked towards the cabin door.
Li Teng said from behind: "Mr. Cobb, I can provide you with something else."
Cobb stopped when he heard this!
He only heard Li Teng continue behind him: "Do you want to go home? Go back to the United States and be with your children."
Cobb turned to Li Teng, shook his head and said, "You can't do this, no one can do it."
Li Teng looked at him and asked, "It's like implanting a thought?"
Cobb thought for a moment, and Arthur patted his arm: "Cobb, let's go!"
Cobb suddenly asked: "How complicated is that idea?"
It was obvious that Li Teng had grasped his lifeline. He wanted to go home. He wanted to go home and see his children so much that he had to compromise.
Li Teng said: "Simple enough."
Cobb shook his head and said: "There is no such thing as a "simple idea", if you want to implant it into someone else's mind."
Li Teng said: "My main competitor is an old man whose health is deteriorating. His son will soon inherit and take control of his company. I need him to make a decision to split up his father's industrial empire, which is a huge blow to himself.
Confrontations and challenges of interests.”
After Arthur heard this, he immediately persuaded him: "Cobb, we should avoid this kind of thing."
Cobb ignored Arthur: "Assuming I am willing to do it, assuming I can do it...how do I know you can deliver?"
Li Teng said: "You don't know, but I can, how should I put it, do you want to take a leap of faith, or do you want to wait for death in loneliness when you grow old, full of regrets in your heart?"
Cobb looked at Li Teng and nodded slightly.
Li Teng smiled: "Gather your troops, Mr. Cobb, and be smarter when choosing your troops this time."
On the jet, Arthur was very angry. He thought Cobb was simply looking for death.
Because in his opinion, implanting thoughts is simply impossible, but Cobb suddenly told him that he had done it!
Arthur pressed him: "Who did you do this to?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Cobb looked at Arthur and remained silent, and Arthur shrugged.
He and Arthur went to Paris to find his father-in-law, Miles, who was also his first teacher in stealing dreams.
Of course Cobb also needs to find a new dream builder!
The new dream builder’s name is Lin Ni!
He is Miles' most promising student.
In a Paris cafe, Cobb and Linnie were sitting at a table outside.
"Some say we only use a portion of our brain's true potential... but that's when we're awake," Cobb said. "While we're asleep, the brain is capable of extraordinary functions."
Lin Ni was confused: "For example?"
Cobb follows suit: "How do you imagine a building? You consciously create every aspect of it... At some stage, you're a little confused... But sometimes, when your imagination takes flight.
....."
"I'm discovering it," Linnie said.
Cobb nodded: "That's right. Real inspiration."
Cobb leaned forward and began to draw on the paper tablecloth: "In a dream, your brain keeps doing this!"
He drew a circle with two arrows.
“We create and perceive our world at the same time, and our minds do it so well that we don’t even know our brains are doing it. That’s why we can shorten the entire process!”
Lin Ni was curious: "How to do it?"
Cobb: "Create this part by being directly involved."
He drew a straight line between the two arrows.
"This is where you come in, you create the dream world, we bring the subject into the dream, and then let him use his subconscious to enrich the entire dream."
Linnie asked: "Does this mean you want to fool him into thinking the dream is real life?"
Cobb nodded with appreciation: "But we are here, and we don't want him to realize that he is dreaming."
Lin Ni was a little disbelieving: "How can I get enough details to make him believe it is true?"
Cobb looked at her: "When we are dreaming, it all feels real. It's only when we wake up that we realize how strange things are."
