The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 474 The World Is Not Real (5k)

Zhou Dongyu and Luo Chen walked along the crowded street together, and pedestrians came and went on the street.

Luochen looked around at the streets and cafes, full of joy: "The environment is good, and there are no problems with the basic layout."

Zhou Dongyu looked at the passers-by: "Who are these people?"

Luo Chen: "They are all projections of my subconscious mind."

"yours?"

"Of course, you are the dreamer, and I am the subject of the dream.

My subconscious floods your world and it's a way for us to get our thoughts of purpose - his brain created these people, so in theory we could talk to his subconscious, it's a kind of cure for mental illness method. "

Zhou Dongyu asked again: "Have you experienced anything else?"

Luo Chen said while walking: "Some special buildings or things, build a bank vault or a prison, some safe place, a safe, etc. In this way, the subconscious mind of the target will automatically put the thing to be protected or other Special information goes inside."

Zhou Dongyu smiled and said, "Then can you break in and steal this information?"

Luo Chen defended himself: "This is also a method of mental healing."

Zhou Junpeng stared at the picture on the big screen carefully, not missing a line, while trying to digest the amount of information revealed in the dialogue.

This information also instantly dissipated some doubts he still had about the previous dream within the dream.

It turns out that the function of this instrument cannot actually be said to invade other people's dreams.

Instead, draw the target closer to the dream that you have built.

The target is the object, and at the same time, the subconscious of the target will fill the dream world of the dream host, projected to become a passer-by under certain rules based on the subconscious of the dream host aided by the instrument.

And the designer can talk to passers-by who belong to the other party's subconscious projection in the dream, extract information from the other party's subconscious mind, or treat the other party's mental illness in this way.

In essence, it is to let the target's consciousness and subconsciousness be guests in one's dreams. Of course, this is an elegant wording. It can also be said to kidnap the target's consciousness and subconsciousness into one's own dreams, so that the main consciousness and subconsciousness of the "guest" "Hands up and down", stealing, healing, or implanting ideas that are mysterious and mysterious.

In this case, in the two layers of dreams, whether it is the bodyguards in the castle or the thugs in the city, they are all the projections of Pan Yueming's subconscious mind, and their actions are just trying to protect the main consciousness.

The dreamer of the second level dream is Zhang Ruoyun, and the dreamer of the first level dream is Bai Yu.

That's why the mysterious woman played by Qin Lan said that the building has Zhang Ruoyun's style. In the dream on the first floor, when Pan Yueming discovered the truth from the carpet, Bai Yu would look apologetic.

The whole logic makes sense.

It is also a novel, hard-core and ingenious version of Chen's science fiction classics.

Zhou Junpeng's love for Chen Jingxing's sci-fi movies is largely due to this.

Some people have wild imaginations, while others have strict logic and cleanliness about rationality.

Both types of creators can produce great work.

But Chen Jingxing is the kind of creator who combines the two into one.

No matter how wild and unconstrained the creativity is, Chen Jingxing, who seems to have some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, will try his best to construct a regular and logical idea.

Whether it is "The Matrix" or "The Martian", the directions are different, but they all strive to be logically rigorous and hard-core in terms of information. No matter how bold the plot and imagination are, he always strives to make you believe that it is feasible of.

To put it vulgarly, it is nonsense and wild thinking, but it is serious.

According to the rainbow farts of many movie fans he has seen: worthy of being a top student in the mathematics department, there is a kind of romanticism of a science student, romantic but science, unconstrained but well-founded, and unique in the film and television industry dominated by liberal arts students and art students Charm.

Zhou Junpeng, who revealed a lot of doubts about the opening scene of the movie through the information revealed in a few words, put himself on the big screen again with a refreshed spirit, and soon ushered in a surprise.

Zhou Dongyu paused and stomped his feet: "I like the accurate perception of neurosimulation-it really has weight, you understand? I thought the space in dreams was only related to visual images, but now it looks more like it is related to other perceptions Also relevant.

So... what would happen if I were to violate the laws of physics..."

Zhou Dongyu cast a pleading look at Luo Chen. Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, as if he also wanted to see how far this talented girl could do, so he nodded.

She stared intently at the street.

The next moment, the rumble sounded!
Buildings in the distance begin to lift slowly, and streets and buildings begin to fold in half—each side of the building is folding inwards to form an inner urban cube.

The city that rises high and folds down even obscures the sky.

Even the light seems to be refracted. In the city where the sky is reversed, there are also sunlight and pedestrians. The gravity of the earth works on its own plane.

The octagonal houses in Barcelona are arranged like a chessboard around the courtyard, so when the city is folded at this time, all the buildings are like nails to nails, and they fit together perfectly.

Above, below, left, right.

Zhou Dongyu seemed to turn the whole city into a regular hexahedron.

With the music, most of the audience in the theater were dazzled by this slow, even slow, transformation of the city.

Who said that audio-visual spectacle can only be fought and killed?
It is not necessarily only the boundless space and the huge planet that can make people amazing.

This scene of deforming and folding the buildings and streets of the entire city can also have a visual and auditory impact on the audience.

There is also the impact of imagination and cognition.

In this kind of city folded into a hexahedron, vehicles on all planes are running normally, and the scene of buildings joining like mirror images will make people dizzy and even temporarily confused.

The huge amount of visual information that breaks through common sense makes people confused and amazed.

Zhou Dongyu was very excited about his successful realization of playing with dreams: "How is it?"

Luo Chen regained his composure after being amazed: "Very good, you are very talented."

As they continued walking, Zhou Dongyu noticed more and more passers-by on the street staring at her.

"Why are they staring at me?"

"Because you are changing the world, you are creating anomalies. My subconscious mind perceives that others are building this world. The more anomalies you create, the faster these "projections" will gather toward you."

"Gathering?"

Luo Chen looked at Zhou Dongyu who was walking fast ahead, looking around excitedly like a little girl seeing a beloved toy: "They sensed the strange nature of the dream owner, and began to be wary of whether this was my dream, like aggressive white blood cells Same as fighting an infection."

Zhou Dongyu was not afraid: "They will attack us?"

"Actually... just attacking you."

They go on down the street, and then they come to another level where gravity works, they go up another level, and they go on, and they come to a river.

As Zhou Dongyu walked over, there was the sound of footsteps on the stone slab, leading Luo Chen onto a small breakwater.

She concentrated on her thoughts, and the pillars rose out of nowhere on the river, and then a bridge began to rise from the breakwater, and began to stretch to the opposite bank, and they walked on the bridge, and the bridge began to extend.

"I also want to have such a dream..." His girlfriend Qin Yanan murmured as if seeing a favorite toy.

Zhou Junpeng looked at Zhou Dongyu's "omnipotent" in the picture with enjoyment, and sighed: "Who doesn't like it, but it seems that someone can practice lucid dreaming?"

"I had a lucid dream before, but it was short, but you can get what you want." On the other side, Zheng Wei joined the discussion, with an expression of envy and excitement.

Just like watching "The Matrix" once made him doubt whether the real world is real, the movie "Inception" also made him yearn for dreams, of course not nightmares, but dreams that he can control .

On the screen, Luo Chen could no longer maintain his former ease, because he suddenly discovered that this bridge was not imagined by Zhou Dongyu himself, but a replica of a bridge in Paris.

Qin Lan suddenly appeared in the picture, her hair was blowing in the wind, she turned to Luo Chen, smiled, then laughed.

Dreamy.

Luo Chen warned Zhou Dongyu sternly and urgently: "Don't use memory to create places, imagine new places every time."

Zhou Dongyu was a little puzzled: "However, any design is not rootless, it is impossible for you not to extract from what you know—"

Luo Chen became even more nervous: "Just use small things, such as street lamps, signboards, bricks and tiles—not the entire environment."

Pedestrians on the bridge echoed Luo Chen's attitude and turned to stare at Zhou Dongyu.

The screen is a little blurry.

"Because you use memory to build dreams, you will definitely get lost easily, so you can't tell what is reality and what is a dream."

Zhou Dongyu turned around and looked at Luo Chen: "Have you ever encountered such an experience?"

Luo Chen didn't say a word, he stood there, staring at Zhou Dongyu.

The pedestrians around stared at her, full of hostility.

Zhou Dongyu was a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down. These pedestrians did not take any action.

In her excitement, she continued to make imaginative changes to the dream.

They stopped in the middle of the bridge.

Under Zhou Dongyu's idea, the two pillars on the bridge deck railings in front of and behind them began to rise, and soon exceeded three or four meters.

And a tall mirror was born along the pillar.

Under Luo Chen's surprised gaze, Zhou Dongyu moved forward and back, unfolding the front and rear mirrors like a huge door, spanning the entire bridge deck, blocking traffic.

Two mirror doors, one in front and one in the back, shut the two of them in a closed space, and at the same time isolated all pedestrians staring at her from the space.

The two mirrors reflect each other, Luo Chen and Zhou Dongyu in the mirror, and the mirror images are like infinite nesting dolls, presenting a visual spectacle that is even more dizzying than the previous city folding on the IMAX big screen.

Created an infinite number of Luo Chen and Zhou Dongyu, and extended the bridge deck to infinity.

There was a burst of exclamation in the theater, and it became noisy.

Some people even felt dizzy and closed their eyes involuntarily.

When Zhou Junpeng was fascinated by it, he also remembered the tablet computer that can monitor and share children's perspectives in the second episode of the first season of "Black Mirror".

When she was finally snatched by her daughter, because the daughter's perspective overlapped with the screen displayed on the tablet computer, the scene of infinite nesting dolls was also born, which made the daughter lose control of her emotions and knocked down her mother.

Zhou Dongyu came to the mirror and stroked the mirror lightly.

A loud bang.

The mirror cracked and disintegrated like rain.

The figures of Luo Chen and Zhou Dongyu were shattered, but a bridge extending to infinity appeared on the big screen.

"Come on, never mind."

"So creative..."

"handsome!"

However, the amazement of the audience did not last long, because the isolation and shattering of the mirror emptied the passers-by on the bridge and extended the bridge deck to infinity, but one passer-by was not emptied.

Qin Lan.

Qin Lan went straight to Zhou Dongyu, and rushed towards Zhou Dongyu in a moment of astonishment.

Amidst Luo Chen's exclamation, Qin Lan stabbed Zhou Dongyu's body with a knife.

screaming—

In the studio, Zhou Dongyu woke up with shortness of breath.

Under the comfort of Zhang Ruoyun who came over, Zhou Dongyu asked with some fear: "Why can't I wake up by myself?"

"The only way to wake up from a dream is to die in it."

Luo Chen sat on the deck chair opposite, pulled off the tube on his hand, ignored Zhou Dongyu who was staring at him angrily, and said, "She needs a totem."

"what?"

Bai Yu on the side interjected: "A totem is a small thing that can always be with you, allowing you to distinguish between dreams and reality."

Zhou Dongyu didn't let Luo Chen go, and complained a little angrily: "Your subconscious is really powerful."

Bai Yu raised his eyebrows: "It sounds like you met his lover?"

"Is she his wife?"

Bai Yu nodded and pulled off Zhou Dongyu's tube.

Zhang Ruoyun took out a coin.

Zhou Dongyu looked at Zhang Ruoyun, a little surprised and confused: "Is the totem a coin?"

Zhang Ruoyun: "This is my totem. Don't let others touch your totem at will, and your totem should have weight and movement that only you know."

Zhou Dongyu learned from Zhang Ruoyun and Bai Yu that everyone has different shapes and types of totems, which they and other colleagues in the laboratory explored after countless dreams.

Zhang Ruoyun's is a coin, Bai Yu's is a dice, and Zhou Dongyu also needs to have his own totem.

And the woman who stabbed Zhou Dongyu in the dream was Luo Chen's wife, but she was no longer alive. It was actually Luo Chen's own subconsciousness, a subconsciousness that split out of his dead wife, or a certain personality.

"He may be a mentally ill patient with MPD! We are going to perform tasks in the dream under his leadership?!"

"...That's why I need you."

"..."

On the other side, on the marble table, Luochen took out his tin-lead alloy spinning top, put it on a marble table, and started spinning it...

He kept staring at the spinning top, which began to spin slower and slower, and was about to stop, and his expression began to become more and more weird...

As Zhang Ruoyun introduced the totem design concept in the voiceover, the spinning top began to shake and then stopped.

"...that way, you'll know you're not in someone else's dream."

Luo Chen grabbed the falling top, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Good guy, it turned out to be another schizophrenic." Zhou Junpeng's full sense of sight reminded him of the scene in "Fatal Identity" where 11 personalities of men, women and children were fighting in consciousness.

And in the subsequent dream training scene, the movie also gradually revealed the origin of Luochen's suspected "multiple personality disorder".

Qin Lan is Luo Chen's wife. The two of them are not only like-minded colleagues, but also close lovers.

Both of them were the first group of senior dreamers to operate the equipment.

In an experiment where they entered the instrument together for dream exploration, they began to explore dreams within dreams.

But they didn't know at the time that a human mind could turn hours into years, and they didn't expect to be deeply involved in it.

Luo Chen and Qin Lan fell so deep that they finally washed up to the edge of the subconscious coast...

There is a lost domain.

It's a dream with no structure, just the raw infinite subconscious, and nothing else.

It is the deepest and bottommost place of all dreams.

Since the invention of the instrument, no one has explored such a deep place.

In the realm of disorientation, they lose their vision of what is real.

Didn't realize it was a dream and not reality.

They have been trapped for 50 years, they have even grown old, and they almost built a city.

Luochen realized one day that he could no longer live like that.

But his wife Qin Lan didn't realize it, or wanted to forget the real world on purpose, and even locked her totem in the safe for this reason.

The spinning top is not Luo Chen's totem, but his wife Qin Lan's totem.

It wasn't until Luochen persuaded his wife to commit suicide by lying on the train together and left the Lost Realm.

Waking up from decades of experience like an old soul stuffed back into a young body is very difficult.

At first his wife Qin Lan seemed to be fine, but Luo Chenken soon realized that something was wrong.

He was surprised to find that his wife had been firmly controlled by an idea.

One very simple idea changed everything...

That is: the world is not real.

The real world is not real.

She can no longer distinguish between reality and dreams, and insists that the world they live in is a dream, which is false, and that the child is also a projection of their subconscious minds, which is false, and that the real child is waiting for them somewhere above. .

Qin Lan thinks that they need to wake up and return to reality from what she thought was a dream.

Of course, there is one and only one way to return to reality from the dream—suicide.

Qin Lan begged her husband: "They are projections, in your dreams! I am their mother—do you think I can't tell if my child is real or not?"

In the memory of the dream, Luo Chen looked at his wife in front of him, only tears of pain remained in his eyes.

"If this is my dream, why can't I control it? Why can't I stop it?"

"That's because you don't think you're dreaming, why don't you believe me!"

Qin Lan is sure that the reality of their lives is a dream, but she loves Luochen too much, and she doesn't want to leave Luochen alone, so she made a plan...

When Luo Chen walked into the bedroom, Qin Lan was sitting on the window sill of the bedroom window, her hair fluttering, one of her feet was hanging outside the window, there was a dizzying abyss.

Then after Luochen refused to jump off the building together, he jumped down without hesitation.

Later, because of deep remorse in Luochen's heart, the role of his wife Qin Lan was subconsciously formed. From then on, he also lost the ability to dream, because no matter where he went, Qin Lan would make trouble, blame him, and ask him to commit suicide together.

For this reason, Luochen even created a memory prison in an attempt to lock up "Qin Lan", but oftentimes it didn't help.

If Zhou Junpeng and his girlfriend were still yearning and longing for being able to do whatever they wanted in their dreams before, then the past stories of Luo Chen and Qin Lan shocked them.

Not being able to tell the difference between dreams and reality can have such dire consequences.

They were both inexplicably moved by the hero and heroine living together in Lost Realm, and also felt sad about the final ending.

There was even a hint of doubt.

Is the reality where Luochen lives in the movie really a reality?
Qin Lan's reaction and Qin Lan's persistence really made him feel a little confused.

Zhou Junpeng shook his head and smiled wryly. Although this was just a movie and he had never experienced it, he actually felt a bit of fear and sadness.

So this is a love movie?

　There will be another one in the morning
