In the last battle of the previous world, both Saito and Yusef died in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, leaving only four members of the Dream Stealing team: Cobb, Arthur, Ames and Andre.
There is obviously a method of emergency communication between them, which can bring them together quickly.
But He Xie didn't master this method, so he published it in the newspaper in a way that everyone could think of.
When Cobb and the others saw the word "Meng Yi", they knew very well that He Xie must be looking for them.
However, when they met again, He Xie was shocked by their appearance!
These four people all look much older!
The three men looked okay, except for wrinkles at the corners of their eyes and some gray hair. However, Ames walked with a limp and was obviously a cripple.
But Andre has become an old lady with a ravaged face!
"How did you become like this?"
"Hey, why haven't you aged at all?"
Both sides exclaimed almost at the same time.
He Xie couldn't hide the horror in his heart. He turned back and glanced at Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang who were looking here not far away. He turned back and said to the four of them solemnly: "Follow me!"
The four of them also knew that this was not the place to talk, so they followed He Xie and walked out the door.
Hu Bayi, who was not far away, stared at the retreating figures of He Xie and others, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "These people are not simple. Judging from their movements, at least two of them have served as soldiers."
Shirley Yang said: "What do you care about him? Anyway, the person he was waiting for has already arrived, so there is no reason to stay with you and not leave, right? The money has been returned to him, and we have nothing to do with him in the future."
Hu Bayi sighed worriedly: "I'm afraid it's easy to invite gods, but it's difficult to send them away..."
He Xie took Cobb and the four of them to a remote place on the corner of the street, and then stopped. He turned around, looked at the four of them again, and asked solemnly: "Why are you getting older? This has happened before.
?"
Cobb shook his head slowly and looked deeply at He Xie: "He, we should ask you this question, why are we getting older but you are still young?"
"No, this is not the root of the problem!" Andre suddenly interrupted Cobb's words in excitement, staggered forward a few steps, grabbed He Xie's arm, and stared into He Xie's eyes, "He, tell me
, is this a dream world?"
The sudden aging was the biggest blow to Andre. A good young girl turned into an old woman inexplicably. If this was just a dream world, that would be fine, because there will always be a day when she wakes up from the dream, but if this
The world is really not a dream...
Andre didn't dare to think about it at all. She was filled with fear. She couldn't accept this reality at all. She would collapse!
He Xie was slightly silent. He didn't know what to say. He also doubted that the previous "Myth" plane and this plane were not a dream world at all. He had some vague guesses, but he was more confused.
.
The only thing is, this face of his is the face he had before he was alive. It is the real face of He Xie. If it is not a dream, how can this be explained?
He Xie sighed: "Tell me about your findings."
"We dream stealers all have a unique totem to distinguish dreams from reality." Arthur was the first to speak, "But all of our totems show that this world is not a dream!"
"According to the laws of the dream world, we should have fallen directly into the Lost Realm now." Cobb looked at He Xie seriously, "Because of the last disaster in the previous world, it was impossible for us to survive! But here we are now.
In this world full of life, why?”
There is another reason that Cobb has not said out loud, and that is that he has always had an obsession in his subconscious. This obsession will always cause great trouble to him in dreams. However, this obsession has not appeared so far.
However, the only possibility is that this is not a dream at all!
"Details! Lots of details!" Eames said excitedly, "If it is in a dream world, then everyone in the dream is the subconscious mind of the dream owner, and there is no way there will be all kinds of personality changes! And this world is
So real, there is only one possibility, this is not a dream at all, right?"
Facing the four people's questions, He Xie still did not answer affirmatively, but slowly said: "These evidences are enough to show that this world is not a dream at all, but you are still not sure, do you still have doubts?"
"Yes." Cobb said calmly, "The subconscious mind embodies real objects, or the subconscious mind changes the environment. We only have these abilities in dreams. Although they are weakened now, we can still use them. If this world is not a dream,
How to explain this? Is it a super power?"
"And our appearance," Andre was still very emotional. "Is it a curse to grow old overnight? Why is this happening? I can't believe this is not a dream!"
Arthur and Eames remained silent.
There is a lot of evidence to prove that this is not a dream world at all, but their appearance and abilities bother them. They can't tell whether it is reality or a dream.
Also, it's 1988, so the time is wrong.
He Xie thought for a while and finally decided to reveal some of the facts and some of his speculations.
Compared to the evidence from the dream stealing team, he has more evidence that this world is the real world and not a dream at all!
"I regret to tell you that this is indeed not a dream." He Xie spoke slowly and looked around at everyone, "You can understand that we have traveled to a parallel world, or another universe."
"Jesus! No..." Andre shed tears on the spot and cried bitterly. She could not accept this reality.
"Why are you sure?" Cobb asked in a deep voice.
"Because although your time travel was not caused by me, it is related to me." He Xie sighed.
"What's going on?" Ames also became excited, "Can we still go back?"
"Sorry, I can't give you answers to these two questions." He Xie said calmly.
In fact, He Xie could probably guess that this was the fault of the system. Before this time travel, he had no idea about the rules of coming back from the dead and fighting against all the worlds. The system never reminded him of this.
After he left the "Swordsman" plane, he split into four without any warning, and also lost his self-awareness in the "Myth" plane.
Only after he fused with Fisher and killed Bai Manghuang did he realize that because his partial resurrection would lead to devastating punishment from the rules, he could only deal with it hastily, so he did it in the "Myth" plane.
It was so tragic and embarrassing.
He Xie's real fight against the rules began in the world of "Myth", but he had never been to the world of "Inception" at all, and that part of his real body was integrated into Fisher's body in "Inception".
