Chapter 223

Cobb's conversation with Fisher lasted only ten minutes and was interrupted by the pavilion leader who came in a hurry.

The pavilion leader also brought 50 soldiers to surround the courtyard where Cobb and others were located.

The dream stealing team and Fisher were soon gathered together. Saito, as the "Japanese ambassador", communicated and negotiated with the pavilion leader on behalf of Prince Fisher.

Saito made up a tragic story about a Japanese mission on a pilgrimage to his Majesty the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. When he met a robber, he was seriously killed and injured, and his credentials and property were robbed.

In the story, Fisher is their prince, he is the Minister of foreign affairs of Japan, Cobb is the chief bodyguard, Yusuf, Ames and Arthur are bodyguards, and Andrey is the prince's maid.

Fisher knew that this was a good situation, so he agreed with Saito in half cooked Chinese.

The pavilion leader would never believe their one-sided words. However, when it comes to the pilgrimage to foreign countries, he dare not neglect it. So he left 50 County soldiers in the small courtyard, named escort, which is actually under house arrest. He hurried to report to the sheriff.

Fisher was considered the most important of them, isolated from the crowd.

After the dream stealing team gathered in the house again, the villagers brought some food.

They are soup pots and thick bowls made of pottery paper, containing rice and vegetable soup made by the villagers themselves.

Ames came up to smell it. He couldn't smell it at all. He frowned and said, "it doesn't look like it's for people to eat."

Cobb waved and motioned for everyone to get together. In a serious tone, he repeated Fisher's previous conversation with himself. Finally, he said: "he said that a Chinese man named Meng Yi plotted all this behind his back, and he was a victim like us. He didn't know what this man named Meng Yi wanted to do and what purpose he had, and Mr. Fisher gave his suggestions, Let's cooperate with him, find Meng Yi in our dream and find out the truth. "

"Cooperation?" Ames sneered. "How do we know if he's lying? Maybe he saw through us long ago, and now he's just playing with us. "

"Our tipper is really not simple." Arthur thought thoughtfully, "I don't know if you noticed. When he clashed with the villagers, he was besieged by dozens of people for at least five minutes! And he can speak Chinese, which is information I have never known before. "

"It's really strange," Saito frowned. "I once commissioned professionals to conduct an in-depth investigation on little Fisher. All the evidence shows that he is a weak and cowardly guy, but this is quite the opposite of Fisher we saw with our own eyes."

"Maybe he's not Fisher at all!" Andrey suddenly raised her hand. "Since Ames can pretend to be anyone in her dream, is it possible that the Fisher we see is someone else's disguise?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's face changed greatly!

Andrey is just a whim, but Cobb and other experienced dream thieves think more and more that this is likely to be the truth.

If this Fisher is false, it can explain a lot of things.

"If this is the case, where is the real fisher?" Saito said slowly, "and this fake Fisher, why should we help him find the man named Meng Yi?"

Everyone frowned. Too many mysteries seemed to block layers of fog, so that they could not touch and see clearly.

“Fine！” Yusuf suddenly raised his hand: "I changed my mind. I'm sorry, Cobb. I don't want your share. I quit!"

Ames said, "good. Now it's four to two."

The previous vote on whether to withdraw from the mission was once again put in front of everyone.

Cobb frowned, as if thinking hard.

Saito suddenly took a long breath and said, "there is a Chinese proverb that a gentleman does not build a dangerous wall. I agree to cancel this mission."

After a pause, Saito looked around for a week: "although the task failed, I appreciate your professionalism. I will pay half of the remuneration for this mission as a token of respect. "

Ames whistled and said happily, "your generosity has won my respect."

Bang bang!

Cobb knocked on the table and attracted everyone's attention. He looked around and said in a deep voice, "I think you all made a mistake. Now, it's not a matter of whether we should cancel the task."

"What's the problem?" Arthur said.

"It's a conspirator hiding behind us. It's a question of whether to let us leave!" Cobb said seriously, "one thing we can be sure of now is that we are really calculated! We were caught in a trap! "

"Everybody!" Cobb suddenly raised his voice. "This guy hiding behind us worked hard to trap us in a dream. Why do you think we can just go?"

Ames couldn't help saying, "no matter what he wants, we just have to find a way to get out of here and hide in a place where there is no one for a week. As soon as the medicine is over, we will wake up immediately."

"That's right!" Yusuf said, "I don't think the guy behind this can do anything to us! Cobb, we're not vegetarian! If we are not the best in the world, why do you bring us together? "

When he said this, everyone looked proud.

Everyone here is extremely confident in their profession.

Cobb slowly put forward a possibility: "if the conspirator doesn't get what he wants from us, he is likely to keep us awake forever! Even if we can escape in a dream, he can always inject us with tranquilizers in reality! "

Everyone's face changed again.

Cobb continued, "this is by no means a threat, everyone! This conspirator can pull us into his dream, and we didn't see any sign in advance. I believe he must be able to do so! "

"Shit!" Ames sneered and waved, "we can't die. When we die, we fall into the border of dreams and become fools with a thick brain. Now we can't even wake ourselves up. Now I want to know who is playing us like fools?"

Arthur sighed with worry: "it seems that there is really only one way to go."

"We must have a complete plan." Arthur also reluctantly accepted the fact and said, "first of all, we must find out what Fisher knows."

The opinions of the members of the dream stealing team reached an agreement again, but they lost their high spirits when they first dreamed.

Things are completely out of control, which makes each of them feel very heavy.

One day later, the sheriff led a thousand soldiers to escort the "Japanese mission" all the way to Xianyang to meet the first emperor.
