The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

Riding on the secret underground track, Dennis felt a little heavy-hearted. He glanced out the dark window with flickering eyes and pursed his cracked lips, not knowing what he was thinking.

Half an hour later, the track stopped. Dennis was asked to put on protective clothing and the armed soldiers handcuffed him, on the one hand to ensure their safety, and on the other hand to prevent Dennis from escaping. They walked through a long corridor with various warning signs hanging on the walls on both sides, reminding them to pay attention to the dangers in the laboratory.

After walking for about ten minutes, the group arrived at the entrance of the laboratory. Standing at the door was a scientist in a white coat. He looked at Dennis expressionlessly and then nodded. The armed soldier uncuffed Dennis and led him into the laboratory. The interior of the laboratory was spacious and bright, with a variety of advanced equipment that was dazzling.

Dennis followed the white coats and walked in. The researchers in the laboratory were wearing white coats and had serious expressions, focusing on their own experiments. When they saw Dennis being escorted in, their eyes showed surprise and confusion.

In the center of the laboratory, a huge device caught Dennis's attention. It was a complex system composed of countless metal pipes and instruments, exuding a faint chill.

At this time, the head of the laboratory, Channing, came over, expressionless, and looked at Dennis with cold eyes:
"You're pretty hard to find, Dennis!"

Scanning the surroundings and taking in the environment of the laboratory, Dennis said calmly: "I didn't intend to hide. You could be more polite!"

Channing raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "I have to make sure if you are as powerful as the legend says."

Dennis frowned: "So, you knew I would kill Carl?"

Looking at Channing's expressionless face, Dennis shook his head: "I don't like you, Channing! You won't believe me, and I won't believe you even more!"

"Look at you, still a mess, struggling to survive, all alone with your gun! No one to turn to, no future! We're all the same, you and me, and... all of us!"

Looking at Channing, Dennis said expressionlessly: "We are different. What do you want?"

Channing said, "I want you to help someone sneak across the border!"

Dennis shook his head. "I don't do this anymore. Why don't you use your own boat? You have the final say in this area anyway."

"That's only on this side of the ocean," Channing sighed, "They...are monitoring me too closely. If I move, I'll be discovered!"

Dennis frowned: "You want to sneak across the ocean?"

Channing nodded, "Yes, a girl, to Hong Kong in six days."

"Are you trying to play a trick on me?" Dennis said expressionlessly, "You know I already have a bad record. If I'm caught again, there's only one outcome. Besides, a United Nations passport can no longer be forged."

“No need to fake it!”

Channing pulled a needle out of his pocket and handed it to Dennis: "Just give it an injection above your neck when you go through customs. This is your new life."

Dennis took the needle and was silent for a while. He stared at Channing and said, "Give me $50 and I'll do it!"

Leaning forward a little, Channing smiled and said, "Can I ask you for free service?"

Glancing at Channing, Dennis raised his lips slightly:
"You can't do that, Channing! But you can get everything ready for me, right?"

"Hahaha~,"

But accepting Dennis's statement, Channing smiled and said:

"There will be a car outside to pick you up and take you to the designated location. If you dare to play tricks on me, you will have nowhere to hide. Dennis!"

"Ok!"

Dennis nodded, "Same to you, Channing!"

"Hahaha!"

Channing laughed and waved his hand. Dennis felt a pain in the back of his head and lost consciousness instantly.

…………

When Dennis woke up again, he touched the aching back of his head, slowly sat up, looked around, and found himself in a valley.

Unlike the usual gloomy sky in California, the sun was shining brightly here. The lake was like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains and blue sky and white clouds. There were also a few birds playing happily on the lake, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.

Looking up, an ancient suspension bridge hangs over the lake, covered with vines swaying in the wind, which looks simple and wild. At the other end of the suspension bridge, there is a cave fortress made of huge stones, which looks very solid, as if it is a fortress defended by ancient warriors.

In front of the cave, an Asian woman was standing quietly. She was tall and graceful. Her face was like a bright moon, with delicate and three-dimensional features, and her eyes were as bright as stars in the lake. Her long black hair fell to her waist like a waterfall, dancing in the wind, adding a bit of mystery.

The woman's temperament is elegant and fresh, as if she is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, like a lotus in the valley, pure and flawless. She is wearing a simple white long skirt, the hem of which flutters in the wind, like a goddess descending to earth, with a calm and indifferent look in her eyes, as if she has insight into everything in the world, but keeps a proper distance.

Dennis was deeply attracted by the beauty and temperament of this woman. He felt as if he was in a beautiful painting. His heartbeat accelerated and he couldn't take his eyes away. He secretly admired that this woman was so beautiful that it was breathtaking, as if she was a gift from nature to the world.

The woman walked slowly towards Dennis, her clear eyes swept over Dennis, the corners of her mouth raised, she smiled slightly, her voice as clear and sweet as an oriole: "Are you Dennis? You can call me Rebecca. Before we set off, we have to make three rules."

"…Ah? Oh…us?"

Dennis came back to his senses and looked at Rebecca in confusion: "Are you that girl?"

"I have to follow her wherever she goes. That's the first rule." Rebecca shook her head and continued, "The second rule is that the less contact she has with the outside world, the better. You have to protect her from the outside world, including not letting her see, hear, or feel anything."

"This... You know, the world out there is a cruel one, Ms. Rebecca!"

Dennis was slightly startled, but not angry.

"I know, that's why we live here!"

Rebecca nodded.

Dennis sighed and smiled. "Okay, damn! What's the third one?"

"Don't say bad words..."

Rebecca frowned and looked at Dennis and asked, "Can you do it?"

"Hahaha~,"

Dennis burst out laughing, then said, "Then you should also listen to my only rule."

As he spoke, his face was tense and he said sternly, "If you dare to play tricks on me, I will throw you into the wasteland and don't even think about coming back here... Come back to your perfect world, do you agree?"

"Now that we have reached an agreement, you wait here for a moment, I'll go get the bag!"

Rebecca smiled noncommittally, then turned and walked towards the cave wall across the suspension bridge. After taking a deep look at Rebecca's back, Dennis turned and walked to the car nearby, opened the trunk, and took out a password box. He entered the password skillfully, and the box opened.

Dennis took out the electronic map and checked his location. Only then did he realize that he had arrived in San Diego.

“Knock-knock~”

Dennis, who was studying the route to take, suddenly heard footsteps approaching. He turned around and saw Rebecca walking over with a little girl of about fifteen or sixteen.

The girl had blonde hair and was dressed in black, and she seemed to be shrouded in darkness. Her head was tightly wrapped in a large black hat, so her face could not be seen. Although her steps were brisk, her brows revealed a calmness and determination that was inconsistent with her age.

Dennis couldn't help but be attracted by her temperament, and Rebecca introduced her to him: "Alice."

"What's your name?"

Alice nodded to Dennis, then walked silently beside Rebecca, her blue eyes sizing him up curiously:
"You haven't introduced yourself yet."

Looking into the girl's eyes, his heart tightened, as if he was being stared at by a wild beast. A sense of absurdity suddenly surged in Dennis's heart. Facing Alice's question, it took him a while to come back to his senses: "My name is Dennis."

Alice nodded and whispered, "Are you going to take us to Hong Kong?"

Dennis nodded: "Yes, please get in the car!"

…………

"Your Highness, your child has left the monastery."

In a spacious and bright room, Channing bowed slightly to the middle-aged woman lying in an instrument.

The woman opened her eyes slightly, with a hint of fanaticism in her eyes: "It's finally here. We only have six days left to show our miracle to the world."

There was a tremor in her voice, but the woman tried to remain calm. Channing looked at her with respect.

This woman is Channing's mentor and the chief designer of this underground base.

The organs in the woman's body have been completely replaced by metal structures. These are artificial organs developed by them. These artificial organs completely simulate the functions of real organs, and are even better.

The success of this technology was not smooth sailing. They experienced countless failures and made countless efforts. But they never gave up, because they believed that as long as they persisted, miracles would always appear.

"Your Highness, the press conference will begin soon!"

Channing bowed, turned and left the room.

Forty years, forty years! Finally, their efforts will finally be rewarded. Six days later, he will let the people of the world know what a miracle is. By then, everything lost will be taken back!
...............

Five days later.

When Dennis, Rebecca and Alice set foot on the land of Hong Kong, they were all fascinated by the bustling streets and the beautiful urban scenery that perfectly combined technology and modernity.

As night falls, the city's nightscape is dazzling, like a starry sky. The former high-rise buildings have been replaced by more modern and more stylish buildings, and the driverless cars shuttling through the streets have added a touch of future technology charm to the city.

The driverless car they were sitting in moved at a constant speed on the street, and they felt like they were in another world, a world completely different from California. Smart devices were everywhere in the streets and alleys, providing people with more convenient life services.

With the rhythm of the music, those huge flowers made with high technology bloom in the night sky, changing into various charming colors.

"We're here, girls."

Dennis' voice broke the silence, and he, Rebecca, and Alice stepped down from a driverless car. The car looked like a prop from a sci-fi movie, with a smooth mirror-like shell without a scratch, and the door slid out automatically the moment it opened, smoothly and quietly.

Several people walked into a hotel. Although the appearance of this hotel is simple, the interior decoration is full of modern technology. A virtual intelligent waiter with a gentle voice and gentle guidance helped several people check in, then led them through the smooth corridor to a suite with a wide view.

The interior design of the suite is simple and elegant. The paintings on the wall seem to change patterns as people approach, which is the latest interactive projection technology. The curtains automatically open, revealing the amazing night view outside the window - the city lights bloom in the night, like a shining ocean.

Dennis, Rebecca and Alice, following the instructions of the smart waiter, each chose a comfortable sofa to sit on. The smart system in the suite had already prepared welcome drinks for them, and gently brought in fragrant coffee and fresh fruit.

Looking at the dozens of constantly changing news projections on the projection wall, Alice frowned and turned to look at Dennis: "Can we turn it off?"

Dennis looked at the night view outside the window without turning his head: "You can't turn it off, but you can change the channel."

"Clang~"

Dennis and Rebecca turned around and saw Alice standing in front of the projection in a daze. She didn't even seem to notice that the cup had fallen from her hands.

"what happened?"

Rebecca hurried over and looked at Alice with concern.

Alice pointed at a projection and said:

“They are all dead!!”

"What?" Rebecca hurriedly turned on the projected news and enlarged the screen.

"According to reports, a 1000-year-old women's monastery in California, one of the oldest monasteries still in use in Central Asia, is now managed by the Order of the Holy Light. It was destroyed by a missile last night and no survivors were found. The following is a statement from the Order of the Holy Light..."

"Dididi, Dididi~"

The Bluetooth on the coffee table suddenly rang, and Dennis picked it up and put it in his ear. A familiar voice came:

"Congratulations, old friend, you have arrived safely!"

Dennis gritted his teeth and said, "Chanin, did you blow up the monastery?"

"Haha~, I'm not a militant, Dennis, I'm a mercenary."

Dennis gritted his teeth and said:

"What the hell is going on? What happened there? You didn't leave me a gun!"

"You have completed your mission. If there are no further questions, you may return home. The tracking device in your passport will also be removed."
