Chapter 336: Dream Stealing 2
"He betrayed you in order to save his own life."

Saito smiled and pointed to the frustrated caregiver next to him, then said to Cobb and his assistant:

"Well, you guys should handle it yourselves."

Saito's bodyguard handed over a pistol at the right time, but Cobb shook his head, indicating that he was not a killer.

Saito didn't care about this. After asking the bodyguards to drag away the irrelevant people, he forced Cobb and his assistant to board the helicopter, and disappeared into the white sky in the early morning.

"What do you want us to do?" Cobb, sitting in the helicopter, finally couldn't help but ask.

Saito didn't keep it a secret, "Is it possible to implant ideas?"

Upon hearing this, the assistant immediately replied, "That's impossible."

Saito was a little disapproving.

"If you can steal ideas from other people's heads, why can't you put another idea in there?"

The assistant gave a direct explanation: "Okay, I implant an idea in you, and I say to you 'Don't think about the elephant', what will you think about?"

Saito hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly, "Elephant?"

The assistant nodded.

"That's right, the more I tell you not to think about it, the more you will think about it.

Because this is an idea I imposed on you. People can always find the source of ideas, and the real motive cannot be faked. "

At this moment, Cobb was staring out of the plane window and suddenly uttered two words.

"wrong."

Saito narrowed his eyes when he heard this, looked at Cobb, and finally raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Can you do it?"

Cobb did not answer directly, but said: "You said you could help us escape from the client, but I can do it myself."

Saito glanced at the scenery outside the window and said, "You don't want to do this job?"

"I just want to get out of here," Cobb answered simply.

However, when the helicopter landed, Saito looked at Cobb who turned and left, and gave him an offer he could not refuse.

“Hey, Mr. Cobb, how about letting you go home?
Return to China and reunite with your children."

"This is too difficult, no one can do it." Although Cobb refused verbally, he turned around and did not take a step away.

“As hard as implanting an idea?”

Saito's question hit Cobb's heart. At this time, the assistant noticed something was wrong and immediately urged him to do it.

However, Cobb hesitated for a moment and then walked back to Saito.

“What idea do you want to implant?”

"It's very simple," Saito said.

"Any idea you want to implant in someone else's mind can't be simple."

Cobb still stared at Saito, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
“I have a partner who is very old and almost dying.

However, his son who is about to take over his company is a guy with an extremely bad personality.

Yes, it's very bad. The guy even has some self-destructive tendencies and believes that humans should not exist.

So I want to change his crazy idea, at least, to make sure that my old friend's company can continue to run stably. "

The assistant was still urging Cobb, but Cobb was in hesitation.

"Wait," he looked at Saito, "If I can do it, you have to give me a promise, otherwise why should I believe you?"

"You have no choice."

As if feeling that his words were a little stiff, Saito adjusted his tone again.

“I am the only one who can help you and have the ability to help you.

And that guy is really as bad as I said, which you can verify through the information later. This mission may even make you a hero.

So, what about it?
Are you willing to take a gamble?

Or do you want to continue to spend the rest of your life in repentance?"

Cobb finally nodded in affirmation.

This allowed Saito to completely relax and give a final piece of advice.

"Then choose your team members carefully, and don't choose the wrong people this time."

The cabin door closed and the helicopter carrying Saito left the helipad.

Cobb and his assistant boarded a business jet, and the two ate and talked on the plane.

Some information was revealed in the words. It turned out that Cobb had indeed accomplished the feat of implanting ideas, and that only required "going" deeper in the dream.

Afterwards, the scene changed, and on the busy Fudan campus, Cobb walked into a lecture hall and took a class with many Chinese students.

After the class was over and the students left, he walked up to the professor with gray hair and greeted him.

At this time, a fan of the "Galaxy Cinematic Universe" recognized the professor. He was none other than Dr. Ma Zhao, played by Ning Li.

The "subconscious therapy device" that Cobb used to enter dreams was invented by him.

"What are you doing here?"

When Dr. Ma Zhao saw Cobb, he frowned, and his tone was both surprised and dissatisfied.

Cobb shrugged. "Someone entrusted me with a task, so I came here to take a look. By the way, I also want to see the child."

Dr. Ma Zhao's attitude suddenly became worse, "Sorry, you are not welcome in our home."

"You don't have the final say on this. After all, I am their biological father and the first guardian in the legal sense." Cobb's tone was also firm.

"But you can't fulfill your duties as a father, right?" Ma Zhao's voice rose an octave.

"But that's all because of you!"

Cobb pointed at the old man in front of him.

"I never taught you to steal."

boom!
Cobb slammed the desk and shouted loudly.

"It was you who taught me how to manipulate other people's minds and play with their subconscious minds!"

The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became tense.

Finally, Dr. Ma Zhao sighed helplessly, took off his glasses, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

“That was not my original design.”

"But that was not my intention," Cobb took two steps back dejectedly. "It was just an accident, an accident that none of us wanted to happen, and an accident that often occurs in scientific exploration."

Dr. Ma Zhao did not continue to dwell on this topic, but leaned back and asked:

"Tell me, what do you want to do here?"

Cobb said thoughtfully:

"Now, there's an opportunity for me to do something for them so they can revoke the deportation order against me and allow me to go home and live with my children."

"Then go ahead." Dr. Ma Zhao spread his hands. "But I need your help, Dad!" Cobb looked at him and shouted.

Dr. Ma Zhao was not moved by his cry.

"So you're trying to rip off my best and brightest student, huh?"

"No," Cobb shook his head, "I just want to find a partner, the best and most outstanding student you have ever had."

Dr. Ma Zhao looked at him for a long time, then said quietly: "He won't want to see you, why don't you do it yourself?"

"Li Li will stop me." Cobb looked at Dr. Ma Zhao and seemed to have made up his mind. He told his secret, "I need someone who is familiar with her to hold her back."

When Dr. Ma Zhao heard this, his expression changed immediately.

Anger, pain, sadness, pity... It's hard to imagine that a person's eyes can express so much.

"Come back to reality, please!"

"Reality? My children, your grandchildren, they are waiting for their dad to come home, this is their reality."

Cobb emphasized loudly, then lowered his voice again, almost begging:

"Teacher! Dad! I can only go home after I finish this work and this last job. The children can't live without a father!
If I hadn't been desperate, I would never have come to you. You know what I need."

Dr. Ma Zhao finally let out a long sigh.

"It's not convenient today, I have to talk to the kid first.

You know, he has always regarded Li Li as his own sister, and he has been hit hard since that incident happened."

Cobb nodded. "I know, I know. I'll wait for your news then."

After saying that, Cobb said goodbye to Dr. Ma Zhao and walked out of the classroom.

As soon as I walked out of the classroom, Shi Qiang, who had been guarding the door, came over.

"Hey, Captain Shi, I don't like a man getting so close to me. Don't worry, I won't run away."

Ke Bu pushed Shi Qiang, but Shi Qiang ignored him and glanced at him. "Get in the car. The kindergarten should be almost over by now."

Upon hearing this, Cobb became excited and immediately followed Shi Qiang's steps.

The scene changes to a kindergarten where Corbu reluctantly lets go of the child, walks out of the gate of the kindergarten, looking back every three steps, and then gets into an ordinary car.

In the car, Shi Qiang did not tell Cobb anything about the children. He knew that after what happened today, the other party would definitely carry out the mission wholeheartedly.

"We are still infiltrating Saito's side, so you don't have to worry about that. Just form a team first. This is the assistant we have arranged for you."

Shi Qiangshen pointed at Qin Yanni, who was sitting opposite him and was played by Shu Chang.

Shi Qiang's female police apprentice, now wearing casual clothes, looks particularly pretty and cute. Her smile makes people unable to help but like her.

"Hello, Mr. Cobb, I've long heard of you!" Qin Yanni took the initiative to extend her hand.

However, Cobb did not shake hands, but looked at Shi Qiang who was standing beside him.

"Let's change her, she smells too strong and isn't suitable for our line of work.

In comparison, I actually prefer you to be the dream maker, Captain Shi."

"Xiao Qin is very talented and has great potential. I believe she will complete the task successfully."

Shi Qiang did not give a direct response, but his words were full of unquestionable tone.

Cobb spread his hands.

"Okay, okay, everything is up to you. After all, you are the client.

But if I use a newcomer like her, I can't guarantee that it will be successful."

Shi Qiang smiled slightly.

"So before that, you have to teach her a good lesson. I always hear Dr. Ma mention you, saying that you are his most proud student."

Cobb sighed.

"It used to be."

The car drove out of the Fudan campus. On the other side, in a seemingly abandoned factory building, Cobb's assistant was fiddling with a recliner, a newer and more sci-fi dream helmet, and a dream link processor.

"It's been said that when we're awake, our brains hide most of their potential, but when we're asleep, our brains are capable of almost anything."

The scene switches to the busy streets of Shanghai. In a coffee shop near the corner, Cobb and Qin Yanni sit opposite each other and talk.

"for example?"

“For example, if you are designing a house, you have to consciously design every detail, but sometimes the house seems to design itself, you know?”

Qin Yanni pondered for a moment, took a sip of the coffee in the cup, and nodded.

"Hmm... I see. It's the self-proving principle in psychology. When faced with certain things, our subconscious mind will find reasons and motivations for certain things and automatically make rationalizations.

The captain told me this. This also applies to dreams, and it is even more concrete.

Well, in Chinese terms, this should be called "a natural creation, an accidental achievement." "

"Yes, this is the germ of inspiration. It's just that our brains are always working like this when we are dreaming."

Cobb nodded, then took out a pen and drew two curved arrows on the paper to form a circle.

“In dreams, we design and discover the world at the same time. Everything is so natural that the dreamer himself can’t even feel it.”

"So you can rely on the subconscious therapy device to directly cut into this process, take over other people's dreams and brain design work, and steal the information contained therein?" Qin Yanni frowned.

"Hey, little girl, it's us now, us!"

Cobb emphasized:
"We're in this together now, and don't tell me you and that boss of yours didn't do this before.

After all, it is to enter other people's minds and read secrets directly. Few people can resist the temptation of snooping into privacy, right? "

Qin Yanni was speechless because her teacher was doing the same thing as Cobb, the only difference was that one had official endorsement and the other did not.

But unsurprisingly, both of them are invading other people's minds.

So she quickly skipped this section and changed the subject:
"So what you need me to do is to create a dream and bring the target in?"

Cobb nodded. "Have you ever tried this?"

Qin Yanni shook her head.

"Didn't history teach you?" Cobb was a little surprised.

"The captain said that my willpower is not strong enough. I haven't found the core anchor point of my mind. There is no benefit in rashly entering the dream." Qin Yanni replied.

"Well, it turns out that it's still the old man's weird ideas."

Cobb muttered something, then said:

"Don't worry about that. Since Shi asked me to teach you, it proves that you are qualified.

Okay, let’s continue with the previous topic. After you have built a dream, insert it into the target’s dream to replace the other person’s dream.

Only at this time can we take the initiative and guide the other party to act according to our ideas, so as to achieve our goals.

Of course, it should be noted that this integration must be silent and reasonable, and should not be so abrupt as to alert the other party and make them realize that they are actually dreaming. "
