The painting titled "Dream" is still hanging on the wall of the study room.

While Mei Yiqiu and Xia Wenyuan were discussing investment issues, Aoki stepped up to the painting and once again carefully appreciated Picasso's original works.

For some reason, when he saw the girl in the painting, he immediately thought of Xia Wenyuan's daughter Xia Xiaoxiao, and then the little girl named Meimei and her mother appeared before him.

"Professor, do you think it is possible for the artist's mental remnants to be parasitized by the consciousness?" Aoki suddenly asked when he looked at the painting.

Mei Yiqiu was chatting with Xia Wenyuan in a low voice, only then did he notice the painting on the wall: "I am not sure about this. Theoretically speaking, the spiritual residue in the painting is not a complete consciousness. Maybe it is in the two-dimensional world of the painting. It is complete. If the consciousness intruder wants to parasitize, it is also parasitic in a two-dimensional world."

"But we can feel the painter’s thoughts on the work. Does it mean that the two-dimensional world created by the painter is related to our three-dimensional world? The consciousness or human spirit can be Way to move around in two worlds?"

"There is such a possibility, but it is beyond the current scientific knowledge." Mei Yiqiu stood up and walked to the painting, carefully placing the hand holding the pipe behind her back, so as not to let the smoke get into the picture, and appreciate it carefully. Then, "It's really a good picture!"

"Um..." Qing Mu groaned for a while and turned to ask Xia Wenyuan, "Who did Mr. Xia say that this painting was sold to you last time?"

"Ronald Cohen." Xia Wenyuan said.

"Is that Ronald Cohen from the Dream Foundation?" Mei Yi asked, "I know that man is an art collector madman."

"Yes." Xia Wenyuan nodded.

Aoki reminded May Yiqiu: "I remember Mr. Lester's last words mentioned that he was invited by this Ronald to visit an exhibition, and Xia Lao also met with Ronald at the auction before the accident. And bought this "Dream"."

Xia Wenyuan said in surprise: "You mean Cohen is..."

Aoki said: "Now it's just speculation, but I think it's suspicious. What does this dream foundation do?"

"Speaking of this, the Dream Foundation is indeed a bit mysterious. It is a fund management platform with more than one hundred mutual funds under it." Xia Wenyuan explained the composition of the Dream Foundation. "It is different from a fund company like BlackRock. Yes, the management of the Dream Foundation is relatively loose. It is not an independent company. It is more like a guild organization spontaneously established by many fund managers. Moreover, the Dream Foundation not only absorbs funds, but also absorbs dream members. It is said that the requirements for members are very high. High, you can't get in with money."

"Did they invite you to join?"

"No."

"It looks suspicious!" Mei Yiqiu smoked his pipe, lost in thought.

Aoki also took out a cigarette and began to vomit. The study was suddenly plunged into smoke and silence.

Although the study has a good ventilation and purification system, Hu Xing still can't stand it. He reminded: "My grandpa is not in good health, can you take less."

Xia Wenyuan said: "It's okay. I used to smoke before, but I quit because I was spared my life. Now that my life is not long, why bother about the smell of cigarettes!"

Hu Xing groaned: "Grandpa, what are you talking about? You live a long life! Aoki must have a way to completely get rid of the shadow in your dream." She said and looked at Aoki, "Is that right, Master?"

Aoki breathed out a long smoke and said, "This parasitic consciousness is accompanied by your grandfather's ontological consciousness, disguised as his shadow. It is impossible for a person to be without a shadow. This is the rule of the real world. Old Xia is here. When dreaming, I copied this rule into the dream, and because of the existence of the shadow, this rule was strengthened by Xia Lao’s own consciousness intentionally or unintentionally. There are only two ways to make the shadow disappear..."

"Which two?"

"Let the light source disappear, or the object that blocks the light source to create a shadow disappears."

"It's impossible! What you mean is to make my grandfather's dream become eternal darkness, or to eliminate the ontological consciousness of my grandfather together..." Hu Xing covered his mouth and closed the last word that was about to blurt out. return.

"Actually, the first method doesn't work. Even in the dark, but you can't see the shadow, the invading consciousness still exists, and at that time it doesn't even need to disguise." Aoki said, "In fact, it is still There is another way."..

"what?"

"Change the rules of dreams."

"how to change?"

"Shadow under the light is the physical rule of our world. And the rules of dreams are constructed subconsciously. Think about it, do you sometimes fly in dreams?" Aoki asked and replied, "That's because you changed the dreams yourself. Of course, it is very difficult to change consciously. It requires a lot of mental power. Therefore, I once suggested a workaround for Xia Lao."

Xia Wenyuan suddenly said, "That is what you said last time to make light everywhere?"

Aoki said: "Yes. There is light but no shadow, which is very different from the rules of the real world. A change in a rule means that a series of rules related to it will change, which will consume a lot of mental power. But to make light everywhere, you only need to increase the number of light sources, just like the shadowless lamp on the operating table, to prevent the shadow from appearing. This conforms to the rules of the real world. It is relatively easy to create such a dream world."

"But my grandfather doesn't know how to have lucid dreams. How do you let him control the content of dreams?" Hu Xing reminded ~lightnovelpub.net~ Aoki said: "Yes, so I just prompted and not forced. But , Now I seem to have found another solution to that parasitic consciousness."

"any solution?"

"I encountered a lot of strange people and wonders when I went to southern Yunnan this time. One of them was in a situation that was very similar to that of Xia Lao."

"Oh, you can just finish it in one breath, don't make me appetite!" Hu Xing said anxiously.

With a smile, Aoki gave a brief account of Yao's mother in Cuanzhou, and then said: "After her bone marrow transplantation is completed and her health is better, I will study how her invader was driven out. Go."

Hu Xing immediately said: "Leukemia can come to Wuzhong. The blood research center of Wu University Affiliated Hospital is the best in the country."

Mei Yiqiu said, "I have already greeted the hospital, but there are some things you can do more efficiently for the rich."

Xia Wenyuan understood what Mei Yiqiu meant, and immediately said, "Xing'er, tell your Aunt Xia later, let her send someone to arrange it."

Hu Xing agreed, then squeezed her eyes at Aoki and snorted, "You will see that beautiful flight attendant again soon!"

Aoki let out a puff of smoke, showing a smile that was not a smile, and then turned to talk to Mei Yiqiu.

Hu Xing wrinkled her nose and muttered softly, "It's still groaning!"
