Chapter 194 Cutting the Dream (Part 2)

Yuecheng University provided temporary accommodation for the police's decoding team, allowing them to rest and work nearby. As a result, the experts began arriving at the decoding operations room shortly afterward.

Once Zheng Han and the others arrived, they introduced Wei Hongsi to everyone.

These experts had all heard of Wei Hongsi and knew he was one of the core technical figures in the first phase of dream interpretation, leading the establishment of the foundation for this work. But upon meeting him in person, their feelings were still somewhat complex.

Given Wei Hongsi's age, he is definitely considered a junior to them, yet they still rely on his guidance to continue their work. This comparison makes many experts sigh, realizing that they seem to have only grown older without gaining more skill over the years.

Wei Hongsi greeted the experts and then took his leave after a short while. He was no longer a member of the decoding team, and the team didn't need him. His presence here, watching everyone work after offering his suggestions, was more like supervision.

Seeing the complex expressions on the faces of some experts, he felt that continuing to stand there might be an eyesore.

It's not that I'm worried that the experts will have a problem with him, but it will still make them feel uncomfortable and affect their work efficiency.

Guo Weiran also came out with Wei Hongsi. The experts would naturally tell him when they received new leads; there was no need to wait there. His investigation was progressing poorly, mainly because it lacked a clear direction, though it wasn't completely stalled.

Once outside the supercomputing center, Wei Hongsi asked, "Guo Da, is there any hope of finding Chen Xuemin's family?"

"It's quite difficult. Even if we can find her, it will probably take a long time." Guo Weiran shook his head. "When she was abducted and rescued, our DNA testing technology was already quite widespread. We had taken samples back then."

"With the advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of the DNA database in recent years, the system has been automatically comparing cases like this. As long as someone matches her, the platform will pop up an alert, and the case will be recorded in the system, so it's impossible to miss it."

Wei Hongsi nodded silently. After being brainwashed by the Guiding Light Society, Chen Xuemin certainly wouldn't actively seek out her family. The police system hadn't matched her in so many years; finding her parents would indeed be very difficult.

Guo Weiran asked, "Teacher Wei, are you planning to try this same method on Mu Jie as you did on Chen Xuemin?"

"Yes. It might not be effective, but I'd still like to try if the opportunity arises."

"Then I'll try to find as much information as possible about her childhood. Oh, and Zhou Huai, could we give that a shot?"

"Is his case easy to investigate?"

"Relatively speaking, it should be relatively easy to investigate. He comes from a normal family and went to school and worked in an orderly manner. On the surface, there is nothing special about him."

Were he a good student when he was young?

Guo Weiran thought about it carefully but couldn't recall it. This wasn't a focus of his investigation; after all, what could childhood grades prove? He said, "I'll verify this again. Does Teacher Wei mean this is one of the criteria they use to choose their targets?"

Wei Hongsi nodded and said, "At least from the current perspective, it can be considered a common feature."

Guo Weiran's eyes lit up, and he said, "Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Wei."

He was worried about the lack of a well-founded investigation plan, and Wei Hongsi's suggestion was very timely and important.

Chenxi Kang Le Welfare Home has taken in many children, and a casual search would not only be time-consuming and laborious, but also not necessarily effective.

If Wei Hongsi's speculation is correct, then checking the transcripts from that year would allow for a more targeted approach.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before driving away separately.

Wei Hongsi went back to the company first. By the time he arrived, Xia Shiyu and the others were almost finished with their work for the night. Xia told him that two more people had been confirmed to be cured that night, and the progress was going smoothly.

Of the 17 patients sent by the police for treatment of "mental pollution" who have not yet fully recovered, all are in relatively severe cases. However, their treatment is not difficult; it just requires several rounds of treatment and will take a relatively long time.

Patients who met the current criteria for "emotional reshaping therapy" were treated using this method, accumulating experience and data for further validation and improvement of the music-based treatment plan. Xia Shiyu's statement about smooth progress mainly refers to this aspect of the work.

This was certainly a good thing, but Wei Hongsi's rate of gaining contribution points became extremely slow. By the end of the day, the "system" contribution value had only increased to 44 points.

That night, the decoding team's experts completed the creation of a new neurosemantic stimulation package containing a large number of elements from Mujie's childhood before he entered the orphanage.

Meanwhile, the experts at the monitoring center had also made preparations, keeping Mu Jie's brain activity within a relatively ideal range, thus meeting the conditions for implementing stimulation.

Experts from both sides collaborated and obtained Mu Jie's independent dream narrative of his "id" around 3 a.m.

This AI-generated narrative reconstruction consists of five segments, which together form a fairly complete narrative. Combined with Guo Weiran's investigation results, the experts unexpectedly pieced together the truth behind Mu Jie's parents' deaths.

Mu Jie's parents ran a home improvement business and owned a modified light van. One rainy night when Mu Jie was seven years old, his parents were driving when a dump truck struck them from the side, killing them instantly.

According to Mu Jie's dream narrative from his "id," his parents went out that night to buy him a birthday present. His parents had promised him a remote-controlled toy car for his birthday if he got the top score in his class.

His parents were probably busy with work that day and forgot about it. That night, Mu Jie cried and made a fuss. There were no online shopping or delivery services back then, so his parents had to go out in the rain to find a place to buy it, and that's when the accident happened.

In Mu Jie's dream narratives, he expresses strong feelings of remorse, feeling that he is responsible for his parents' deaths.

Although these narratives are unrelated to the current cases of the Light Guide Society, the fact that these narratives were derived is already the most ideal result.

The experts even found it strange that Mu Jie's "protagonist personality" never appeared in such a long narrative. Besides the effectiveness of the control methods used by the experts at the monitoring center, there are probably other reasons as well.

But they had more important things to do at the moment and couldn't investigate further.

After obtaining Mu Jie's dream narrative of his "id," Zheng Han immediately assigned everyone a new task: to analyze and extract the brainwave signal characteristics belonging to the "id" consciousness.
