Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 828 Truman
"This is my last job, so I want to finish it beautifully, a proper beginning and end." Jiang Cheng's melancholy face showed some sadness.
In Sister Wen's eyes, this meant the young man with a bright future was willing to give up his dreams for her.
"I understand, Chengcheng." Sister Wen said without hesitation, "This time, Sister Wen will definitely help you do things perfectly, so you won't have any regrets."
"Then thank you, Sister Wen," Jiang Cheng replied, "I need to know some basic information about the client, so it will be easier for me to make a judgment."
...
This time, the group didn't take the elevator, but walked up the stairs. Jiang Cheng and Sister Wen walked in the front, almost glued together, their overly intimate actions making the people behind them visibly embarrassed.
"Is he... is he always so... so indecent in his life?" Zhou Tong asked Fatty. Because of what happened before, her impression of Jiang Cheng was very poor.
Fatty glanced at Zhou Tong, "Please watch your words, Doctor Jiang isn't indecent, this is his job."
"Job?" Zhou Tong was slightly stunned. She had also participated in the operation against Jiang Cheng, so she knew that Jiang Cheng's real identity was a psychologist, but no matter how she looked at it, the way he behaved didn't fit the image of a doctor.
"He's using himself to nourish Sister Wen's barren heart. This is a great spirit of dedication, and I can be sure that he's going to use all his skills to extract useful information, not for himself, but for all of us to survive." Fatty looked at Jiang Cheng's back and couldn't help but sigh, "Doctor Jiang is a candle, burning himself to illuminate us."
Looking at Fatty's admiring eyes, and then at Jiang Cheng's extremely dishonest hands on Sister Wen, Zhou Tong felt a little overwhelmed.
However, she was now certain that Jiang Cheng was a psychologist, and this identity should be correct, otherwise, he wouldn't have brainwashed this Fatty so thoroughly.
Arriving on the 9th floor, in front of an office-like room, there was a chair on one side of the corridor, and a woman dressed as a white-collar worker was sitting on it.
It was indeed the "Wang Jie" they had seen before!
She was still in the same state as before, panicked, distracted, and trembling constantly, as if she might collapse at any moment.
What followed unfolded according to the familiar plot. Sister Wen left, and Wang Jie was invited into the office.
Before leaving, Sister Wen repeated that they should not forget to wear their name tags, it was very important.
Walking into the office, there was a name tag on each desk.
But this time, there were only 9 name tags left.
The one belonging to Li Mengyao was missing.
Her name tag had been secretly taken away by Jiang Cheng before, but when he woke up today, his clothes pockets were empty, and the name tag was gone.
No one made a sound. Everyone acted as if nothing had happened, and each person put on their own name tag.
Then everything proceeded in an orderly manner, sitting down and discussing with "Wang Jie" what she had encountered.
Sure enough, the development of the story was exactly the same as before. Just as Jiang Cheng said, they were trapped in a twisted and strange space-time.
If they wanted to escape, they could only break some kind of balance in this space-time, that is, find out the truth about what "Wang Jie" had encountered.
Jiang Cheng had seen a movie a long time ago called *The Truman Show*.
The feeling here gave Jiang Cheng a lot of similarities to the movie.
Except for a few of them, everyone around them was trying to play their roles well, and there was an invisible hand behind them, controlling everything.
Those of them who had strayed into this place were Truman.
Thinking of the last mission, and what Lin Wan'er had said to him.
The old lady who gave them the mission last time should be a member of the resistance, the high-level disciple nicknamed "Ni Po." Xia Tan was their leader.
And this time, the task was assigned by a delicate-looking boy who looked like a junior high school student.
The boy looked harmless, but he should also be a high-level disciple. They are now in the boy's door.
And the pressure that this door brought to a few people was no less than the previous door.
A sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in Jiang Cheng's heart. These high-level disciples were all exceptionally talented people during their lifetimes. From the doors in their bodies, one could fully feel their power.
But it was this group of people who were almost wiped out by the old chairman alone.
The only one who escaped, Xia Tan, did so at the cost of being completely eroded by the door, and only then did he tear a hole in the old chairman's domain, which was the bus.
Such an old chairman... is he really defeatable?
Even if he is not human, but something brought back from the abyss, the meaning of crimson in Lin Wan'er's mouth, the "zero" from nothing...
But what is the point of all this? He simply doesn't have the ability to confront the old chairman head-on.
Wu, his greatest reliance, was suppressed to death as soon as he entered the bus. Unless it was an extremely urgent situation, he would be asleep, no matter how he summoned him, he would not come out.
Speaking of Wu, Jiang Cheng suddenly thought of the scroll that Lin Wan'er had given him.
The scroll should also be a door, and judging from Wu's performance, that door must be very special, and its attraction to him is not ordinary.
What kind of door is that?
What kind of abilities will Wu gain after devouring that door?
Jiang Cheng was faintly looking forward to it.
His thoughts ran far away, but in terms of time, it was only a short moment.
And Li Mengyao's death...
Seeing the face of the corpse caught everyone off guard, but through the investigation of the scene and the introduction of Team Leader Wu Bin and Zhang, everyone could conclude that Li Mengyao was killed the night before.
Moreover, in this world, Li Mengyao's name became Wang Jie.
Jiang Cheng didn't think the word "change" was appropriate, it should be "bestowed."
Because it was after Li Mengyao's death that she got this name. Before that, her name was still Li Mengyao.
Jiang Cheng clearly remembered that when they first arrived at the mission and woke up for the first time, Sister Wen inadvertently mentioned the three words Li Mengyao when she was complaining. At that time, her name was still Li Mengyao, there was no mistake!
It was a very strange logic, but Jiang Cheng discovered something from it.
The name "Wang Jie" is more like a role-playing game. Everyone who is killed by a ghost, no matter what their name was before or what their identity was, is automatically given the name "Wang Jie" after death.
In short, someone died last night, and whoever that person was, they were "Wang Jie".
In addition to this, there is a very important point, and that is the clues provided by "Wang Jie".
