Arthur explained again: "A totem is some kind of personal worship. It is a small thing that can always follow you, and no one else knows about it."

Cobb stood up, Linnie stared at him, a little angry, and he walked to the bathroom.

Lin Ni asked: "Your subconscious is really powerful, Cobb. She is really a beauty!"

Arthur was a little surprised: "It sounds like you met Mrs. Cobb."

Lin Ni asked in surprise: "She is his wife?"

Arthur nodded and pulled off Linni's tube: "Look, totem. You need a small object, which actually has some weight!"

In the bathroom of the studio, Cobb took out his tin-lead alloy spinning top and put it on a marble table to spin...

In the office, Lin Ni looked at Arthur with some surprise and confusion: "Like a coin?"

Arthur shook his head and said: "It's too ordinary. Your totem should have weight and movement that only you know."

In the bathroom, Cobb kept staring at the top as it began to spin slower and slower, almost stopping, and his expression began to become more and more weird!

Arthur continued to introduce Lin Ni about the totem,

Lin Ni asked: "What is yours?"

Arthur replied: "A die filled with lead."

Lin Ni reached out to pick it up, and Arthur stepped aside and sat aside: "I can't let you touch it. This is a very important point. Others have no way of knowing its weight and balance."

She was puzzled: "Why?"

Arthur said: "When you test your own totem, you know that in this way, you have no doubt that you are not in someone else's dream."

His words seemed to confirm something. In the bathroom, Cobb's spinning top began to shake and then stopped.

Cobb grabbed the top like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

In the studio, Lin Ni was thinking about what she just said.

"It's not a problem for me," she said after a while.

Arthur wondered: "Why not?"

Lin Ni asked back: "Arthur, maybe you can't see what's happening there? Or maybe you don't want to see it. But Cobb's problem is that he wants to bury all his problems there. I have no intention of telling him

People like him open my mind."

After Lin Ni finished speaking, she stood up and walked away.

Cobb's voice came: "She'll be back."

Arthur turned around, and Cobb was standing at the door of the bathroom: "I have never met anyone who learns so fast before, and now reality can no longer satisfy her. When she comes back, she will be asked to build a maze.

.”

Arthur asked: "Where are you going?"

Cobb: "I'm going to talk to Ames."

Arthur was a little surprised: "Eames? But he is in Mombasa, Kenya. That is the base of Cobol Company."

Cobb said with certainty: "This risk is worth taking."

Arthur tried to persuade: "There are many other thieves."

Cobb shook his head and said: "We don't just need a thief, we need a pretender."

They quickly came to a casino, which was crowded with people, smoky and crowded. A Westerner, wearing a shabby suit, was concentrating on the dice game. He was Eames. He fiddled with his last

of two chips.

Cobb's voice came: "No matter how hard you rub it, you can't become famous."

Ames looked up and saw Cobb: "You never know."

Ames tossed out his last chip and the dice rolled...

Cobb asked him: "What would you like to drink?"

Ames lost.

He said: "Your treat."

Cobb followed Eames, who magically produced two stacks of chips and placed them in front of the cash desk. Cobb took one off and squinted at the embossed name.

Cobb said: "Your spelling hasn't improved much."

Ames grabbed the chip and handed it to the cashier.

Ames said angrily: "Get out of here."

Cobb was unimpressed: "How is your handwriting?"

Ames took his money and looked at Cobb with a smile: "Can do anything."

Ames led Cobb down the quiet street.

Ames said: "Word is that you are not welcome in this place."

Cobb was noncommittal: "Really?"

Ames said: "Cobble Engineering offered a really big price for your skull."

Cobb looked at him: "You won't betray me, will you?"

Ames looked at Cobb, feeling a little offended: "Of course I will."

Cobb smiled: "If you knew what I was selling, you wouldn't."

They arrived at a coffee shop with a rickety balcony overlooking a shabby street, and Eames drank from his glass.
