Lin Xian felt as if he had broken through the clouds and seen the light of day again.

In the dream, in the bank warehouse, the safe that CC wanted to open had...eight password tumblers.

Lin Xian had always firmly believed that this 8-digit password must be a date.

Whether it was a birthday, an anniversary, or some important day... In short, it had to be a date. He never thought there would be any other possibilities.

But, he was still too confident.

He had completely forgotten about the QQ number.

Lin Xian and his generation started using QQ on a large scale in elementary and middle school.

At that time, newly registered QQ numbers were all 9 or 10 digits. Only netizens born in the 80s might have 8-digit QQ numbers.

Very likely.

That was the correct password for the safe in the dream!

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they were both 8 digits?

...

Gao Yang quietly leaned over, waving his hand in front of Lin Xian's eyes:

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you spaced out or frozen? What are you muttering to yourself?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Lin Xian came back to his senses, picked up his wine glass again, and took a sip:

"It's nothing, sit down and continue eating."

After dinner.

The two decided to go their separate ways.

Gao Yang opened the taxi door, letting Lin Xian get in:

"We're not going the same way, so I won't see you off. You go by yourself."

Lin Xian nodded, bent down and got into the taxi.

He rolled down the window and waved goodbye to Gao Yang:

"See ya."

Gao Yang threw away his cigarette butt and grabbed Lin Xian's hand:

"Give me a shout after you finish the dream! If you really confirm that your dream is just a dream... I'll feel relieved too, and won't worry about you anymore."

"Okay, okay, see ya."

...

It was only a little after eight o'clock when he got home, and there was still time to go into the dream to verify what Dr. Liu said.

Lin Xian took a shower to clear his somewhat dazed head. He recalled everything that had happened since he met Big Face Cat CC... up to today.

He must have heard CC's voice somewhere, and he might have seen CC's appearance somewhere too. Although his conscious memory had forgotten, according to Gao Yang... his subconscious still remembered, which was why he dreamed about it.

While showering, he had already come up with a plan to remove CC's mask—

1. First, find a way to get Big Face Cat out of the way. He absolutely couldn't let this pig teammate ruin his plan. He could handle CC by himself; more people would only be counterproductive.

2. CC was very vigilant. He didn't have any bargaining chips to negotiate with her until they were inside the bank warehouse. Therefore, he couldn't reveal his identity before entering the warehouse.

3. Combining the above two points, there was only one way to achieve his goal. That was to put on Big Face Cat's mask and disguise himself as Big Face Cat! Then, using Big Face Cat's identity, take CC to rob the bank.

4. Both Big Face Cat and CC only recognized the mask, not the person. As long as he could take down Big Face Cat's henchmen fast enough, he wouldn't be exposed.

5. Once they were in the bank warehouse, he would reveal his hand to CC, and use the safe password as a bargaining chip to get CC to take off her mask.

...

The plan was flawless in terms of procedure, with no problems.

Thinking that he had previously worn the Ultraman mask to impersonate CC, and now he had to wear the Rhine Cat mask to impersonate Big Face Cat... Lin Xian felt it was quite funny. Unknowingly, he had mastered acting, Mission: Impossible, and Infernal Affairs.

"Life is impermanent, like a sausage wrapped in a larger sausage."

Actually...

The key to the implementation of this plan was that Big Face Cat and CC were not familiar with each other, they didn't even know each other's names. They were just temporarily cobbled together, mutually exploiting, and even wanting to double-cross each other.

It was precisely this information gap, where they didn't know each other's identities, that allowed Lin Xian to disguise himself with just a mask and deceive both of them.

As long as Big Face Cat didn't come to sabotage, it would be easy to persuade CC. What's more... there was the ultimate bargaining chip: the safe password.

Lin Xian stretched and went to bed:

"Tonight..."

"Let's bring all the stories to an end."

Lin Xian closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

...

...

Whoosh!

The dry summer wind blew in his face.

He was shivering from the cold after the shower, but now he was basking in the scorching sun. Lin Xian truly experienced the pleasure of being in both ice and fire.

Lin Xian looked at the time on the electronic bulletin board next to him.

[21:11]

At this time, neither Big Face Cat nor CC should have arrived at the square yet. Based on his experience, Lin Xian guessed that their agreed meeting time should be 10 p.m.

"I need to act quickly."

Lin Xian looked left and right, found a police service kiosk, with two patrolling police officers outside.

Generally, these police kiosks had police equipment, such as batons, stun guns, riot shields, etc...

Although Lin Xian didn't know the official names of these equipment, he was very familiar with their effects. He had been educated by them a lot in his dreams over the years.

"The way to take Big Face Cat offline later will depend on these police uncles."

Lin Xian walked around the east side of the square, looking towards the direction from which Big Face Cat's van would come.

The previous few times, Big Face Cat's van had come from this direction, and today would naturally be no exception.

Sure enough.

Thirty minutes later, Big Face Cat drove his rickety van over and parked in the same old spot.

Then, two minutes later, a very familiar fat figure jumped out of the car, with a Rhine Cat mask squeezed in the middle of his face covered in橫肉, looking around.

Lin Xian noticed...

The van wasn't turned off, and even the driver's door was only half-closed. This was probably the wisdom of a professional criminal, so he could get in the car and run away at any time.

Confirming that the target had appeared, Lin Xian ran directly into the police kiosk:

"Comrade police, something big has happened!"

Lin Xian looked panicked:

"The Rhine Cat mask I just bought was snatched by a fatty over there!"

The police officer smiled:

"It doesn't seem like a big deal, I'll go get it back for you."

"But he has a gun in his waist."

"Holy crap!"

The police officer jumped up, picked up the walkie-talkie and gave a series of instructions. The two patrolling officers outside immediately looked towards Big Face Cat's direction... and slowly approached—

"Don't move!!" "Hands behind your back!! Be honest!!"

Big Face Cat was pinned down in a second! Choked and cuffed, he was directly subdued!

The officer in the kiosk jogged over to Big Face Cat with Lin Xian, and reached for his waist...

"He really has a gun!"

His face was pale as he continued to search.

"Holy crap! There's also a C4 bomb! Control him! I'll contact support right away!"

He gave a series of instructions into the walkie-talkie.

Discovering guns in such a densely populated square was no small matter! Who knew if there were any accomplices? What's more, there was also the terrifying C4.

"Um..."

Lin Xian quietly stepped forward:

"Can I get my mask back?"

The police officer directly tore off Big Face Cat's mask and threw it to Lin Xian.

Big Face Cat was about to yell, but a black hood was thrown over his head, and he became quiet.

Lin Xian took the mask and slowly walked away...

He looked at the cute Rhine Cat in his hand, and smiled slightly:

"Key prop, Rhine Cat mask, get~"

He pulled open the elastic band and put the mask on his face.

The mask was small.

It just barely covered Lin Xian's face:

"Next... I am Big Face Cat!"
