The room Qin Xinxing took them into was very large.The ceiling was more than two meters from the ground, enough for Tang Ji to straighten his waist.

Some dim gray light seeps in from the upper left overhead, where a small fan is embedded.

There are some huge equipment in the center of the room, which look a bit strange, like a tent being hoisted high, with triangular brackets exposed underneath.

There are glass partitions around the bracket, and an iron plate is placed in the middle, and there is nothing on it.

Next to the shelf is a whole row of tables with three legs, and the missing leg is supported by gray-red bricks stacked high.

On the desk, there are many documents and materials piled up, and there is also a computer with three screens side by side.

Qin Gong took them to sit on the chairs in the corner.

"The environment is simple, you two can make do with it." Qin Gong dragged the commonly used stools in front of the computer, and brought them two rough handmade stools. The stools were made of three wooden boards and looked crumbling.

The three of them sat and looked at each other without even a table in between.

"Do you drink water?" Qin Gong said, and stood up again, as if preparing to get water for them.

"No, don't bother." Tang Ji hurriedly stopped.

"Okay." Qin Gong sat down again, apparently heaved a sigh of relief.

Next, Qin Gong gave them a brief introduction of where they are now, the people they met and the general situation.

"In the beginning, some of the people who died in the dream appeared here. This is not a dream, and there is no task waiting for us to complete. People can't die, and those who die will follow," Qin Gong said, "You who appear There are many small houses in the area, remember?"

Tang Ji nodded.

"Just those little houses, people can be reborn after death, and those little houses are the places of rebirth."

These words made Tang Ji think of the person he and Guo Fang had seen at that time, crawling on the ground.

Qin Gong said: "There are only three countries in this area."

Tang Ji: "Three?"

Guo Fang: "Only three?"

Qin Gong was taken aback for a moment: "What?"

Tang Ji and Guo Fang glanced at each other. They had already briefly communicated about the setting of this world on the way here. Although they may not be 100% correct, Tang Ji is one of the most powerful dream interpreters, and Guo Fang herself is the main dreamer and the leader of the scientific research team of the entire dream system. The inferences they discussed together and reached a consensus should not be a big problem.

Guo Fang said: "According to Tang Ji and I's guess, this area should be divided into four areas."

"Yes, yes, yes," Qin Gong nodded, "It is indeed four, but there are only three countries."

Guo Fang: "Why?"

Qin Gong briefly introduced the general situation of this land. The three countries are distributed in a triangle, surrounded by a foggy forest, and no one knows what is outside the foggy forest.No one has ever walked out of the foggy forest. Those who wanted to explore all died, and after being reborn, those who came back all lost their memories in the foggy forest.

Tang Ji asked: "What country are we in now?"

"The three countries have no names, and no one cares what we are called," Qin Gong said. "Every country is not very good. After staying here for a long time, the body will change. Slowly... just, hey, anyway. Everyone has changed."

Tang Ji read a string of English: "Persona, Anima or Animus? It should not be Shadow."

"Nine out of ten, persona." Guo Fang continued.

"Well, do you understand it literally? If the body is mutated—" Tang Ji looked up at Qin Gong for a while. Qin Gong's hairstyle was almost the same as that of the people he saw before he came in, with long hair hanging loose. "You Could it be...that he has two faces?"

Guo Fang: "Isn't it?!"

Qin Gong: "...You guys, how do you know?"

Tang Ji chuckled: "In the theory of collective subconsciousness, there are about four archetypes in people's deep consciousness. When translated into Chinese, they are called Mask, Anima, Animus and Shadow. Three countries plus one forest, the forest estimates It’s the shadows, the two countries are easy to distinguish, and you all look quite normal, so the only thing left is the concept of masks.”

Qin Gongchang sighed: "I don't know how to say it yet, I'm afraid I will scare you."

After finishing speaking, Qin Gong turned his head, facing the two of them with the back of his head, and then slowly raised his hair with his backhand.

Both Tang Ji and Guo Fang were stunned.

I saw that the back of the head should be full of hair, but the hair on it is sparse at this time.The originally flat skin and flesh now turned into a bumpy shape. If you look carefully, this shape is very similar to a human face, with eyes, nose and mouth.The only difference is that the eyes have no pupils, only a slightly sunken eye socket.

The nose and lips protruded outwards. If it was just this, it would be considered a mask at best, but the hair on the back of the head did not fall off completely. A small amount of long black hair wrapped around the entire face, presenting a distorted and weird appearance as a whole.

Qin Gong let down his hair and turned his head: "Didn't it scare you?"

Tang Ji covered his eyes: "I finally know why you all have long hair."

Guo Fang covered her mouth, she wasn't frightened, but that appearance disgusted her.

"Hey, it will be like this after staying for a long time," Qin Gong said, "If you stay long enough, you will become like this too."

Tang Ji stroked his lush hair and swallowed.

"Why did someone arrest us?" Tang Ji said, "Could it be that they are jealous of us newcomers with lush hair?"

Qin Gong waved his hand: "No, no, this matter is a long story." He looked at Guo Fang, "When the accident happened, you said to have a safe dream first, and find a way to pull us into the system. People are all put into that dream. I don't think this proposal is appropriate."

"Yes, I remember you objected." Guo Fang said.

Guo Fang mentioned this to Tang Ji before. They simulated the dreams of real humans and made a "fake" dream. That dream was the dream of online games.People who died in the dream, apart from staying here now after death, some people were assigned to the online game Dreamland as NPCs, and Simon's friend Qingmei was one of them.

It seems that Qin Gong not only made the online game Dreamland back then, but also did some unknown things behind the back of the whole team.

"I did something behind your back." Qin Gong rubbed his face with his hands wrongly, recalling what happened back then made him feel uncomfortable, "I secretly implanted a prohibitive program in every dream , I intended to disable the operating system through a prohibitive procedure."

Guo Fang's eyes widened: "Impossible! After the system loses our control, it will automatically scan and eliminate any programs that are harmful to it. Didn't we try to stop it at that time? It can't be moved at all. Any newly added programs are all It has been cracked by itself!"

The system came out to protect itself, and after it was completed, it was all out of the control of the entire scientific research team.Later, they didn't want to stop it, but they couldn't stop it at all. They tried many methods, but none of them could be connected to the system.I don't know if it was to retaliate against their destructive behavior, all the personnel involved in the system design and research were all pulled into a dream by the system, and then they died one after another.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, the entire project was temporarily suspended, and the funding was withdrawn from above. As for the researchers below, there was no need to arrange new jobs for them—they had all turned into vegetative states.

"I wrote the prohibitive code very early," Qin Gong said. "When I first lost control, I followed your requirements to create a game dream, and wrote the prohibited program and quietly hid it in the dream. I had a hunch at the time , this matter is not as simple as we imagined."

Guo Fang was still puzzled: "How to do it?"

"Hiding in the egg." Qin Gong said.

Guo Fang gasped, and Tang Ji was surprised at the same time.

That's an extremely clever approach!

Easter eggs, the original intention of the original design is to make a little adjustment for researchers to explore the psychological state of the subjects.It is impossible to verify which technician proposed this idea. They wrote an easter egg program in each dream, and this program is irrelevant to the dream system, or part of it is born with it, naturally Escaped the dream system's screening of its own bad conditions.

"So the reason why the dreams we have been in disappeared is not because we succeeded in 'interpreting the dream'?" Tang Ji teleported, thinking of many things at this moment, "but because of the prohibitive procedures in the easter eggs !"

Qin Gong looked at Tang Ji with admiration.

If the dream interpretation is successful, the main dreamer will give the dream interpreter an easter egg.Qin Gong hides a forbidden program inside the easter egg. When the easter egg appears, the forbidden program inside is activated, and the dream is forcibly closed.

It turns out that the so-called "interpretation of dreams" can close the principle of dreams.

At this moment, Tang Ji had to admire Qin Gong's foresight. If it weren't for the program he secretly wrote back then, the "dream system" would be absolutely invincible, and no one could destroy it.

"It's amazing." Tang Ji said.

"No, no," Qin Gong waved his hand, and said with some embarrassment, "I really didn't expect that the system would be completely out of control. It's just a programmer's sixth sense, thinking that at least the system will always leave us a way out .”

Tang Ji: "It's still amazing. Without your program, we really have nothing to do."

There was a knock on the door.

"I'll go and have a look." Qin Gong stood up and opened the door.

Outside the door was the young man just now, holding a large gray snail in his hand: "Number two is calling, and two targets have been found."

"Oh?!" Qin Gong was overjoyed, and took the snail from the man, "Give it to me, just let them talk."

Qin Gong came back holding the snail.

Tang Ji glanced at the snail, always feeling that it looked familiar no matter how it looked.

After Qin Gong sat down, he put the snail on his feet, and picked up a... semicircular thing from the top of its shell.

and many more!

Tang Ji's eyes widened, and he looked at the snail in disbelief!

There is a round plate on the side of the snail, and the nine numbers 1-9 are marked on the plate.

Qin Gong was talking to the semicircular thing at this time: "I am Qin Xinxing, who is on the other side?"

boo boo —

Boo, boo, boo, boo --

The snail's mouth started to move, and then it made a human voice!

"I'm Qingmei, I heard that you received someone there?"

"Yes, the names are Tang Ji and Guo Fang." Qin Gong raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and continued to talk, "Who are you over there?"

"Simon and Lin Qiao."

The snail's mouth moved.

Tang Ji couldn't care less about admiring the snail, which was almost exactly the same as a certain cartoon in terms of shape and function, but raised his voice and repeated: "Simon? Where is Simon?"

boo boo —

The snail's mouth moved, and then Simon's voice appeared.

"Tang Ji, I'm here in Qingmei, I'm safe. What about you?"

Tang Ji took a deep breath: "Me too, very safe."
