Welcome to the Dream WorldCh115 - The invaders are called the ‘Dream World.’ From today on, we must begin to fight.

In the research institute’s meeting room, only four people remained: Mo Yang, Wan Mei, Chi Shu, and one of his security guards.

Wan Mei sat at a nearby table with a computer, tapping on the keyboard, seemingly listing some plans. Mo Yang and Chi Shu sat facing each other across a long table, with neither of them initiating the conversation.

After a moment, Chi Shu suddenly spoke, “Mr. Mo, are you satisfied with how the country handled your father’s matter?”

  jBtHfG

Mo Yang raised an eyebrow and chuckled, “The later handling was relatively fair. As for satisfaction or not, the occurrence of this matter itself is unsatisfactory. Corruption is a tumor in the system of those in power for thousands of years, and we can’t blame the entire country for it. However, the lack of regulation is always a part of the responsibility.”

Chi Shu nodded, “I understand. The country will give you a better explanation. So, let me continue to ask, it seems you’ve recently joined a scientific research company. What are your thoughts on that company?”

Mo Yang narrowed his eyes, trying to disconnect the company from his thoughts and make his brain go blank, even though he had the “leaf” developed by Wan Mei to shield his thoughts. But on non-critical issues, he could attempt to block his own thoughts.

His face gradually lost any extra expression, and his demeanor became somewhat indifferent.

Wan Mei glanced up slightly, a hint of affection in his eyes. He liked when this person constantly strived for himself. Well, he was also quite vigorous in bed, always full of surprises.

“It’s a powerful company with many employees, and it has great potential,” Mo Yang finally spoke. “I believe it won’t be long before it outshines the Fortune Global 500 companies. Soon, it will expand its operations worldwide and become a groundbreaking company.”

Chi Shu’s pupils contracted, “Is it that remarkable of a company? Is there a way for me to join? Honestly, even though the treatment in the military is good, there are too many restrictions. I feel like my nature is being restrained. I want to see the world.”

“If this promising company has fewer restrictions, I’m willing to start from the bottom. By the way, I’m in the military; can I apply? I also have a brother who risked his life for the country but ended up in prison because of excessive defense causing someone’s death. Can he apply as well?”

Mo Yang curled his lips and hit the nail on the head with Chi Shu’s every question.

“Oh, our company is indeed outstanding. Of course, you’re welcome to join. Moreover, our company offers excellent benefits and welfare that you can’t imagine. Additionally, our company adheres to a rule of equality for all, as long as you’re a person, regardless of your past record, be it murder or poverty. Of course, as long as you don’t enter with ill intentions toward the company. The company has its own way of detecting that.”

Chi Shu quickly analyzed every word Mo Yang said, and behind him, ten experts in psychology, linguistics, and behavioral sciences carefully listened to their conversation, recording everything they could deduce.

At that moment, Mo Yang suddenly heard 006’s voice.

006: [Oh, such a grand gesture. Are you two discussing something about the Dream World that I don’t know about? Host, you’re not being honest. You must not have forgotten my words, have you? The first rule of the Dream World is ‘no disclosure of Dream World in language or behavior.’ If you continue like this, I might have to give you a mental punishment, at least a level three.]

  SzwZbo

Mo Yang’s heart skipped a beat, but he didn’t back down. “I haven’t disclosed any Dream World information. I’m just talking about a company.”

006 chuckled, [Do you think I’m a fool? Isn’t that company the Dream World?]

  f Ew7l

Mo Yang’s expression remained unchanged. “That’s your perception, not mine. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at my thoughts.”

006: [Hehehe, Host, oh Host~ Well, even though you didn’t disclose the Dream World, there’s still suspicion, so I’ll have to give you a little punishment. Don’t reason with me. You must understand that whether it’s me or the Dream World, reasoning is just an illusion. We never reason with humans! Just like humans never reason with pigs!!]

As soon as 006 said this, Mo Yang felt intense pain in his brain. In that instant, his face turned pale, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. However, he quickly reached out and placed the green metal “leaf” that could block mental powers on his forehead. The intense pain was immediately shielded, and at the same time, the patterns on the green metal leaf began to emit a faint light.

Without waiting for Chi Shu and the security guard behind him to react, Mo Yang suddenly slammed his hands on the table and stood up. He spoke rapidly.

“Because we are on alert and have started to resist, their leaders have awakened early. Dream World players are gradually being mentally invaded, and a successful invasion will turn them into slaves with behavior no longer under their control. The awakening of their leaders will undoubtedly lead to chaos in the world.”

“I estimate a 90% chance of ‘mutual slaughter’! Humans cannot wait any longer! Higher civilizations have perished due to discovering the threat too late. Spread the word about the existence and danger of the Dream World as soon as possible! Absolutely do not be tempted to enter the Dream World! Also, do not trust anyone around you too much; they could become enemies at any moment!”

  TEltc8

In less than half a minute, Mo Yang rapidly delivered this long speech. As he spoke, the green leaf on his forehead began to crack and emit more light. After he finished speaking, he removed the leaf. The mental punishment from 006 hadn’t ended, but at this point, he felt that his mind had become more resilient, and the pain was tolerable.

For the next full ten minutes, Mo Yang rested with his eyes closed.

Chi Shu could clearly see that he seemed to be battling some unseen enemy, and this struggle had left the somewhat frail-looking man utterly exhausted. Chi Shu thought about the several criminals they had caught in the past week who had used the powers of “extraterrestrials.” When they had tried to persuade or induce these criminals to reveal any information about that world, they had all shown nightmarish, tearful expressions. None of them had managed to reveal any information, even though they were offered various incentives.

What troubled them was that even those soldiers who had resolved to infiltrate the enemy and reveal information about the “Dream World” had been rejected from the start by the “Dream World.” This made their situation even more difficult. Seeing the increasing number of people invaded by the “Dream World” and becoming increasingly uncontrollable, they finally decided to seek communication with Mo Yang, who had successfully revealed information.

Chi Shu and the ten experts behind their earpieces were prepared for this conversation.

Chi Shu had thoroughly reviewed Mo Yang’s background before coming and believed that he wasn’t an especially patriotic person willing to sacrifice everything for his country. In fact, he considered Mo Yang to be someone who walked on the edge of rules and was inherently quite mad. Such individuals were challenging to control and persuade. Once they set a goal for themselves, they would not rest until it was achieved, just like how he had shot and killed the two men who had murdered his father.

This was a rational madman.

Watching Mo Yang now, Chi Shu felt even more convinced of his assessment. However, he genuinely appreciated Mo Yang’s choice. Mo Yang hadn’t chosen to oppose all of humanity because of his father’s situation. At the same time, he felt some admiration. Mo Yang had received no formal training, yet he had revealed so much information. It seemed that he had endured an immense amount of pain, and yet he still spoke out, providing them with a basic understanding of the danger and preparedness.

When Mo Yang opened his eyes again, Chi Shu had already stood up. He stood tall and resolute, like a determined poplar tree. Meeting Mo Yang’s somewhat surprised gaze, Chi Shu and the security guard behind him simultaneously raised their right arms and saluted him with the most standard and heroic military salute.

After that, no further words were exchanged. Once Mo Yang and Chi Shu’s gazes met, Chi Shu left directly.

Perhaps they would never have any further interactions, but they both understood that from that moment, they were comrades.

This conversation lasted only sixteen minutes and thirty-seven seconds, with only four participants. It was a conversation of the utmost importance in the human struggle against the Dream World and the invaders. It marked a turning point.  TumhQi

After this conversation, humans finally unveiled the mask that the Dream World had been attempting to hide behind and began a direct battle against the Dream World. Meanwhile, the Dream World, due to human discovery, revealed its sinister fangs. With limited numbers, they were forced to activate the “second stage” invasion known as the “meat grinder” earlier than planned.

The later generations referred to this brief conversation as the “Ninth Conversation,” but it also had a more popular and praised name among the younger people, “General Chi and President Mo’s Chaotic Life Discussion.” Many young individuals often imagined themselves as one of the negotiators, experiencing the seemingly relaxed yet profound atmosphere of the conversation. yq6S74

On that evening, at the unshakable 7:00 PM news broadcast in the Huaguo Nation, whether it was the middle-aged and elderly people watching the news, young men and women engrossed in movies or TV shows, or even the youth playing games, watching online dramas or live streams, all the images they were watching were neatly cut off. The screens of their phones and televisions displayed the solemn figure of the highest leader of the nation sitting at a lectern.

At that moment, all Chinese people knew that something significant was about to happen.

“Dear fellow countrymen, good evening. Today is the 14th of March, the 8th day of the 2nd lunar month.”

“I have something important to tell all of you, and I hope that we can work together to overcome this challenge.”

“Sensitive individuals may have already noticed that over the past two months, there has been a substantial increase in crime incidents across the nation, and some people around us have become very strange. The seriously ill suddenly recover, the impoverished become suddenly rich, and the weak become suddenly powerful. Some might call this a miracle, but I can tell you all that this is not a miracle. It’s a lure.”

“We are being invaded.”

“These invaders, with technology far beyond that of Earth, have released lures such as money, health, power, and more, enticing us into their world. At first, you may feel stronger, healthier, and wealthier, as if you’ve become the luckiest person on Earth. But eventually, all this apparent luck will turn into a nightmare. The invaders will devour our spirits, control our minds, and turn us into their mindless puppets, losing everything.”

“We cannot yet determine what actions they will take or what methods of attack they will use. But here, I want to reveal the name of these invaders. Please be vigilant against this enemy and do not fall into their seemingly beautiful trap.”

“The invaders are called the ‘Dream World.'”
