Chapter 68 Change of Mindset
At 10 a.m., the location is the White House in the United States.
Ning Yuan casually put down the wand pointing at the US Secretary of Defense, and before the poor Secretary of Defense, other White House officials in the White House conference room, including the US President, were under control.
Joint Dream Technology, a magical technology unique to this world, first came from the secret laboratory of the US military. The purpose of development was to allow soldiers to conduct actual combat training in dreams. Later, Joint Dream Technology was spread and used by commercial spies, resulting in the dream inception profession that steals commercial secrets by entering dreams. Cobb, the protagonist played by Leonardo Little Little Lion and his friends in the movie are a group of professional dream inceptions. Because the technology comes from the US government, Ning Yuan did not directly contact the protagonists, but directly contacted the US government with complete technology, which led to the scene just now.
However, just when the Soul-Snatching Curse was cast, Ning Yuan could feel that the other party was very resistant to his magic, which was hard to believe. However, after searching the Minister of Defense, Ning Yuan knew. Since this technology was discovered and the existence of Dream Infernalists, all important White House officials have undergone subconscious training. Through this training, it can effectively resist the invasion of Dream Infernalists in order to prevent state secrets from being stolen in the dream.
Although this kind of training can be regarded as the Muggle version of the brain defense technique in terms of effects alone. According to Ning Yuan's estimate, although it is powerless against magic, ordinary hypnosis has the ability to resist.
After placing information on collecting all the dream technology to several new "servants" and leaving a magic prop for contact, Ning Yuan left the White House directly. He finally came to the United States and stayed in the backward world of "Perfume" for so long, Ning Yuan naturally planned to relax and relax himself. Anyway, the information collection was assisted by the US president and other American politicians, so he didn't need to worry about it.
Speaking of which, this is Ning Yuan’s second time to set foot on the land of the United States, but compared with the ice and snow in "The Day Afternoon", the United States in this world is very consistent with the images Ning Yuan learned through the media before.
After disguising the appearance of Feitian Auto, it turned into a silver sports car that was not exaggerated and very consistent with the background of the times, Ning Yuan drove the car and caught the wind on the streets of Washington.
It was not until the evening that Ning Yuan had been playing for a day before he came to the Vermont Avenue Hotel, which was very close to Capitol Plaza. After randomly using magic, Ning Yuan moved into the presidential suite of this five-star hotel.
Even though he had a good fortune in the past, even after he got the heart of truth, money was nothing to him, but Ning Yuan was the first to live in a five-star luxury hotel. However, after his initial curiosity, Ning Yuan calmly threw the restraint aside. After taking a hot bath, he wrapped his bath towel and called a bottle of red wine, sat in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking at Washington, which was brightly lit under the night window, and slowly enjoying a rare leisure time.
In the following days, Ningyuan visited all the major tourist attractions in Washington and met several beautiful American girls. Although he didn't want to happen to them, it would be better to have a beauty with him than to be alone, so Ningyuan has had a good time these days.
On that day, Ning Yuan and a beautiful blond girl were visiting the Lincoln Memorial Hall. Looking at the white marble-carved Lincoln statue, Ning Yuan burst into laughter after thinking of a movie.
"Claude, is there anything funny about the Lincoln statue?" The blonde girl is a waiter at a roadside coffee shop. Because Ning Yuan now uses a transformed ring to become the Final Fantasy Claude, her handsome face naturally attracted the enthusiastic and open Lily to come up and talk. After a while, the two of them had a great time talking.
Lily took a leave today and came here to serve as a tour guide for the British man "Claude" who came to the United States.
Seeing Claude laughing at Lincoln statue, Lily shook Ning Yuan's arm in confusion and asked curiously.
Ning Yuan looked at the statue and recalled the statue of Caesar, the ape that replaced the statue of Lincoln in "The Planet of the Apes", and laughed again, "Sorry, Lily, I just remembered a movie, where the statue of Lincoln was replaced by a monkey named Caesar." Moreover, Lincoln himself looked very much like a monkey, and Ning Yuan did not say this sentence.
"Are you talking about "The Battle of the Apes" in the "Planet of the Apes" series?" I didn't expect that there are also this series of movies in this world, and Lily has also seen them. After getting Ning Yuan's prompt, she immediately thought of that classic scene.
Then the two discussed the contents of the movie while continuing to visit the Lincoln Memorial Hall. The atmosphere between the two was better. However, because Ning Yuan had always shown that he was just making friends, even Lily, who had a good impression of Ning Yuan's current appearance at the beginning, did not want to develop the relationship between the two into a lover.
"...You are right. Although "Rise of the Apes" is also good, it is not as good as the old version!" After leaving the memorial hall, the two found a cold drink shop, and Lily said while eating ice cream.
"The current movies are always more commercial. Look at the big Hollywood commercial films every year. In addition to the special effects, the plot is completely empty like the articles of elementary school students." Ning Yuan said.
As an otaku, he naturally likes movies, novels, animations and games, which are essential things at home. It is quite evident. Inception is now in 2014, the same as his original world era. In addition, Lily was also a 24-year-old college student at this time, so there is no generation gap between the two, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
"Claude, do you know that a man like you has always been the type I like?" Lily looked at Ning Yuan with some regret.
I would rather drink the iced coffee in my hand and look at Lily who is in a deep state with amused look, "It can be seen that I have always believed in my charm."
"But this is just my initial thought!" Lily rolled her eyes at Ning Yuan's narcissism, "How can you say that, through contact, you are a person who meets my requirements for your partner, gentle, cheerful and handsome."
"I hope you're handsome is not the main reason." Ning Yuan joked, in return for Lily's stare, "Okay, I'll stop, you continue."
"But I found that under your appearance, there is always a kind of alienation and barrier that I can't see through. Do you know that it feels like you and I are not the same species! Obviously, every move and every look of your eyes are considerate and gentle, which can make all girls sink, but it will always give me a sense of distance." Lily spread her hands and said helplessly.
"Come on, you're too sensitive!" Ning Yuan took a sip of iced coffee and said with a smile.
"Maybe." Lily shrugged and said. "To me, you are too mysterious, so I can only carefully keep my curiosity to prevent completely falling into this trap! Claude, are you sure this is not your trap for pursuing girls? Because there is a saying that when a woman becomes curious about a man, it is the beginning of her love."
"Of course not!" Ning Yuan curled his lips and said helplessly.
Lily blinked her blue eyes, "Okay, if you say that!"
When the day's itinerary was over, the two of them had dinner in a restaurant. Ning Yuan drove Lily back to the apartment she rented with her companions. Looking at the background of Lily leaving, Ning Yuan, with a few curves on his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly, and at some point the magic wand held in his hand gently pointed to the gradually fading back... Looking at the other party's footsteps for a while, as if he had not noticed anything, Ning Yuan sighed slightly.
After closing the car window, Ning Yuan closed his eyes and pondered quietly. In his sea of consciousness, seventeen conscious thoughts quietly exuded light, shining on the sea of consciousness. Strands of invisible power shuttled through it, rippling invisible waves. In the two years of the world of "Perfume", Ning Yuan, who absorbed the soul once again, condensed nine thoughts again. In addition to stripping out a heart of making power, he has successfully condensed seventeen of them in total, which is a considerable achievement.
However, as the soul will continue to condense and unify, it forms the crystallization of thoughts, his mentality has changed greatly. With the rapid increase of power, the sequelae of absorbing the soul seem to emerge unknowingly!
In the "Perfume" world, he stayed alone and studied magic and settled himself in contact with others. This made him not realize that when he came to the "Inception" world, he had contacted more people and naturally found that his mentality was very wrong. It seemed that because everything went smoothly, his previous self-supporting confidence gradually turned into conceit.
