Seizing Dreams [B2]

Chapter 158.2

In the investigation office's conference room.

"That's it." Yu Hao said, "I don't know if he'll be trapped in a dream. This plan is easy to discuss, but it's not really that simple..."

Chen Yekai said, "Zhou Sheng wants you to get a part of his totem, to let you obtain the rights to activate the Golden Crow Wheel."

Yu Hao nodded. Fu Liqun said, "Should have woken Zhou Sheng up immediately at that time."

Chen Yekai answered, "With a gun pointed at my head, I couldn't move. Do you think someone like Ren Chong wouldn't dare do it? I considered it before, if I were to just struggle and escape regardless of everything else, if Zhou Sheng would be startled awake when a shot is fired. But it would've been useless even if he did wake up, since the Golden Crow Wheel would still be taken away by Ren Chong."

Ou Qihang said, "That's not important anymore. But I do think your assumption is promising."

Chen Yekai said, "It's too dangerous."

Fu Liqun said, "Have you tried it before?"

Yu Hao, "No. Which is why I need everyone's help."

Ou Qihang said, "How will you transmit messages to everyone?"

"I can't," Yu Hao, "We can only rely on rapport."

Chen Yekai said, "Could we design a way to transmit signals to the outside world in dreams? For example, some sort of sensory stimulation, to let us notice that you're in a bind. It doesn't need to be too complicated."

Yu Hao thought for a bit, then said, "It may be possible. It's like when we dream of running in our dreams, our legs would twitch unconsciously when we sleep at night...un, pay attention to my fingers ba."

Fu Liqun said, "Give it a try, but it's best to have a doctor nearby. Just in case it doesn't work, they can wake you up at any time."

Yu Hao said, "If I fail, would I even need to wake up?"

"Don't say that!" Fu Liqun and Ou Qihang said in unison.

Yet Yu Hao looked at Chen Yekai and said, "If Zhou Sheng can't be rescued, I'll definitely shuttle around in the subconscious world until I find him. What use is there in waking up alone for me?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Yekai didn't speak. Yu Hao said seriously, "Chen Laoshi, I know you can understand me."

"You..." Ou Qihang said, "Yu Hao, don't think that way."

"The worst case scenario is Zhou Sheng's totem getting seized, him losing his self, and getting banished to the subconscious." Yu Hao said, "Then Ren Chong would obtain all rights over the Golden Crow Wheel, return me a Zhou Sheng in deep sleep, and he would never be able to wake up again. For me, how meaningful would it be to continue staying awake?"

No one spoke. Yu Hao said, "In any case, I've already thought it through. From the moment the plan begins, no one needs to come to wake me up again."

It was dead quiet in the conference room. Xiao Jian knocked on the door from the outside, then pushed the door and came in. In the face of this silence, she didn't seem too surprised.

"Boss asks how long more you guys need." Xiao Jian looked at the watch on her hand, "It's already 11 o'clock."

Chen Yekai said, "Good luck, Yu Hao."

"Good luck." Fu Liqun said, "Bring Young Master back."

Ou Qihang said, "Good luck. Don't forget the words you used to persuade me with in the beginning, Yu Hao."
