Chapter 339: Dream Stealing 5
"why?"

Cobb looked at Saito who was serious and felt puzzled, so he couldn't help asking.

"Is that so-called 'master' very powerful? Can he protect little Fisher around the clock, or can he withstand long-range shooting from a sniper rifle?"

"The Lord is omniscient. He hangs high above the sky and in the void, watching everything in the world and listening to every sound..."

Saito recited these mysterious words that sounded like a prayer, which he had heard from somewhere, in a reverent tone.

However, Cobb curled his lips in disdain.

He is omniscient and omnipotent. That so-called "Lord" really thinks he is God.

He couldn't help but tease, "Since the Lord you mentioned is omniscient, then wouldn't our conspiracy here at this moment be known to him, and then told to the leader of the Adventists?"

Saito just looked at him and then uttered four words.

“Lord, I don’t care!”

Cobb successfully extracted a lot of information from Saito, and another part of the montage, through the communication between Qin Feng, Cobb and Shi Qiang, showed how difficult it is to implant an idea into someone else's mind.

If you want to implant an idea, the first thing you need is imagination.

Regarding this matter, Shi Qiang and his team had actually tried it before.

They tried putting ideas in there, but the target wasn’t fooled.

Faced with this problem, Cobb felt that his ideas were not deep enough, but Shi Qiang gave a different opinion.

He believes that this is not just a matter of depth, but that the idea must be simplified before being implanted so that it can take shape naturally in the target's brain.

Yes, it takes shape naturally, which requires a lot of intelligence support as well as precise and ingenious design.

There may be power struggles, personal desires, weighing of interests, or even a small incident that the target experienced in childhood that left a psychological trauma on him, leading to some crazy ideas.

These issues may affect whether the idea can be successfully implanted, so after explaining this part of the information, the plot of the movie continues to move forward.

Yin Xiu, played by Qin Hao, acts as a disguised person and begins to sneak into the target Fisher Jr.'s company to collect information intelligence.

Cobb is giving Qin Yanni final training, teaching her how to build a better dream maze.

Pharmacists are also preparing dream-inducing potions mixed with appropriate doses of sedatives according to their needs.

As for the tycoon Saito, he domineeringly bought the entire airline just to have enough time to complete his dream plan in the first-class cabin of the plane.

The "Dream Stealing" plan began to be improved bit by bit. During this process, Qin Yanni even tried to peek into the secrets hidden deep in Cobb's heart.

Finally, everything was ready and the dream stealing plan officially began.

But at this time Saito said that he would also follow their actions and supervise them as a client to see if they achieved their goals.

Faced with Saito's sudden request to join the operation, Cobb and others were of course unwilling to do so. They also gave the reason that Fisher Jr. might recognize Saito, which might lead to an accident.

However, Saito said that although they were in the same organization, they had never met each other. Fisher Jr. might not know of his existence, nor did he know about the alliance between his father and Saito and others.

The key point is that as the financial sponsor, Cobb and others had no way to refuse, and in the end the six of them boarded the same flight with the target.

On this flight, the stewardess who had been bribed in advance handed Fisher Jr. a glass of champagne with special seasoning, and the main film of "Inception" finally began.

[First level of dream]

The rain was falling from the sky. This was because the dreamer of the first layer of the dream, the pharmacist Xiao Heizi, drank a few more glasses of champagne before falling asleep, which caused him to have the urge to urinate.

Yes, if you hold your urine in the real world, it will rain in your dreams.

Such an absurd situation immediately made the audience burst into laughter, and it also evoked many of their memories. After all, who hasn't been woken up by the urge to pee in a dream?

On the big screen, Cobb and his crew appeared on the rainy streets of New York and quickly reunited, while also hijacking their target, Little Fisher, who was waiting for a car on the roadside.

Then, Fisher Jr.'s subconscious counterattack came. First, the vehicles on the road began to block Cobb's car, and then more armed men with guns got out of the intercepted cars and attacked them.

Of course, what is even more bizarre is an old diesel locomotive that rumbles across the crowded road, coming heavily loaded in a brutal manner.

With the help of the chaos caused by the appearance of this train, Cobb and others finally got rid of the blockade of the subconscious defenders and came to a pre-designed abandoned warehouse.

They originally wanted to quickly transfer Fisher Jr. to another van with larger space. However, as soon as they got out of the car, they found that their employer Saito had unfortunately been hit in the chest by a stray bullet in the previous gunfight.

The bullet caused fatal injuries to Saito. Looking at the client with blood flowing from his chest, Yin Zheng, as a disguised person, was ready to shoot him so that Saito would wake up from the dream with the help of death.

However, this action was stopped by Cobb. It turned out that in order to build a multi-layered dream, they added a more powerful sedative to the dream potion they used this time.

This also means that after the dreamer dies in a dream, he or she will not be able to wake up in reality, but will instead fall into a lost zone.

The so-called Lost Zone is the edge of the subconscious, also known as the dream layer. It is a world composed of the most chaotic and disordered dream fragments, with only primitive and infinite subconsciousness.

Especially now that they are in a mixed dream formed by several people, the lost area formed by this is even more bizarre.

Once they fall into it, according to the rule that the deeper the dream level, the greater the difference in the speed of time flow, ten hours in the real world may very likely be ten years or even hundreds of years in the Lost Domain.

By that time, the dreamer's consciousness will have dissipated, and it will be impossible for them to wake up in the real world.

Faced with such a dangerous operation, even though they had already prepared themselves mentally, everyone couldn't help but blame Cobb for concealing the news.

But no matter whether they complain or are angry, everyone who has entered the dream has no choice.

So Cobb and others continued to seize the time. On the one hand, they intensified Saito's conservative treatment, encouraged him to persevere, stimulated his desire to survive, so as to prolong his life in the dream and buy time for the next dream.

On the other hand, Cobb and others came to Fisher Jr. and asked Yin Xiu, a pretender, to pretend to be his godfather, instilling and strengthening his subconscious that his father had a secret safe in the office. In the process, Cobb finally confided in Qin Yanni and explained his past experience with his wife Li Li.

It turns out that Li Li was the daughter of Dr. Ma Zhao, and Cobb was Dr. Ma Zhao's student.

Together they conducted in-depth research and developed a subconscious therapy device. In the early days, Cobb and Li Li also boldly tried it themselves and experienced "dreaming", an act that originally only existed in scientific fantasy.

From then on, they couldn't stop, often immersed in dreams, studying the various possibilities of dreaming and experiencing all kinds of different feelings.

In this way, they kept researching and exploring, and eventually, without understanding the dangers of dreams, they fell deeper and deeper.

By the time they reach the edge of their subconscious, they can no longer tell what is real and what is a dream.

In this way, the Cobbs created a world for themselves in the Lost Territory, a world that belonged to them, and they were trapped there for 50 years until the potion wore off and they woke up.

However, after staying in the dream for so long, when she woke up decades later, her old soul was knocked back into her young body, and Cobb's wife's psychology also underwent bad changes.

She felt like she was still dreaming, and she said she had to wake up and return to the real world.

And if they wanted to go back, they would both have to commit suicide.

Cobb certainly wanted to try to convince his wife, but no matter what, she refused to change her mind.

Li Li wanted to go back, but she didn't want to go back alone because she loved Cobb too much.

So on their wedding anniversary, she came up with an idea.

She invited Cobb to the hotel, and then jumped from the window of the room more than ten floors high in front of him without any hesitation.

Because of this incident, and the fact that there was no way to prove that Li Li had mental problems, as well as the suicide note she left behind, Cobb became the biggest suspect in his wife's murder. He had to flee in a hurry, and even his children were unable to see him for the last time.

Therefore, Cobb urgently wanted to return to China and be with his children, so he had to take on this dangerous mission.

After the secret was revealed, Cobb felt much more relaxed.

At the same time, Fisher Jr.'s subconscious defender finally passed through the maze and found the abandoned warehouse.

Cobb and others had to get on a van and let the pharmacist drive and act as a guardian, taking them and the chasing subconscious defenders around in circles in this dream city.

As for the dream stealer Cobb, the dream builder Qin Yanni, the client Saito, the disguiser Yin Xiu, the vanguard Arthur and the target Little Fisher, they need to enter the next level of dreams in this van.

[First level of dream]

When little Fisher woke up, he found himself at the bar in the hotel lounge. Next to him, was a blonde girl played by Daddario, wearing a dress and looking at him with a sweet smile, as if she was chatting with him.

At this time, Cobb began to use the same trick he used to deceive Saito at the beginning of the movie, using the alias Mr. Charles, and then through a series of words, he made Fisher believe that he was in a dream, and mistakenly believed that the memory of being kidnapped in the first dream was reality.

Because Fisher Jr. had received special training to prevent his dreams from being invaded, he quickly believed what Cobb said and thought that Cobb was the person who came to help him in his dream.

After that, Cobb began to induce Fisher Jr. to suspect his godfather, Melt, and thought that the mastermind behind his kidnapping was actually this godfather, and that the other party's purpose was to get the password to the safe in his father's office.

At this time, the dream stealing team has captured the real godfather imagined by Fisher Jr. in his dream, who is unwilling to tell the real instructions of Fisher Sr. to his son before his death.

In order to find out the truth, the dream stealing team persuaded Fisher Jr. to return the favor and enter his godfather's dream to find out the truth.

However, in reality, they first tricked Fisher Jr. into falling asleep, and after leaving the sentinel Arthur to guard him, the remaining members of the dream-stealing team entered Fisher Jr.'s third level dream.

[First level of dream]

Cobb woke up wearing a snow gillie suit, and together with Qin Yanni and others, they monitored the heavily guarded fortress in the distance in the white snow-capped mountains.

And now, in the second level of the dream, the actual footage of the zero-gravity battle in the corridor that Wang Hao and his team had filmed by building a special universal ring finally appeared in front of the audience.

In the original version of "Inception", since Nolan is not very good at action scenes, the fighting and gun battles are very boring and tedious, far less exciting than the plots of his movies, which greatly lowered the score of the entire movie.

Now it is Wang Hao who is shooting this scene, and he has the guidance and assistance of the action team of China Xiangjiang, so the visual effect of the fighting action in the entire rotating corridor can be said to have been greatly improved.

When the van on the first floor fell down the slope and kept rolling due to the pursuit of the guardians, the direction of gravity in the hotel corridor on the second floor also kept changing due to the rolling of the car on the upper floor.

Arthur was so agile that he stepped on the walls and ceiling of the corridor like parkour, rushing towards the subconscious guardian who was unstable, falling and rolling in the corridor, and then he took care of the opponent with three punches and two kicks in a quick and sharp move.

However, no matter how powerful your fists and kicks are, or how advanced your driving skills are, it is difficult to deal with the endless and fearless subconscious guardians.

At this time, the pharmacist who remained in the first level of the dream was being chased by the subconscious defender and had nowhere to escape. Finally, he could only drive the car onto the bridge and try to stimulate the dream stealing team to wake up in the first level of the dream by falling off the bridge.

At this moment, time entered the countdown. There were 30 seconds left before they fell into the river, and Arthur, the sentinel in the second level of the dream, only had 2 minutes left.

And this time is magnified by the third level of dreams, which means it is 60 minutes for Cobb and his team.

During this time, they must fight the guardians in the dream and then cover Fisher Jr.'s entry into the base where his father's true will is hidden.

So another big battle ensued.

Cobb and his companions first used skis to rush down the snow-capped mountains in an extreme sports mode, and then passionately engaged in a shooting match with the guardians.

During this process, because it was a dream, Cobb and others were even able to take out various weapons from some unexpected places.

This strange situation, coupled with the background music, even reminded many movie fans who have watched enough movies of the scene in "A Better Tomorrow" where Mark took out a gun from the vase in a cool manner.

Although the two pictures are different, the chic and light-hearted feeling is extremely similar.

After a difficult ski chase and gun battle, with the help of an avalanche, Cobb and his crew finally managed to protect Fisher Jr. and reach the door of the secret room in the base.
