Barbara thought for a while, and finally readily agreed to Baker's proposal. After the matter was completed, she paid 10 million to Dom Cobb's professional team.
Ten million U.S. dollars is not much. As the commander of New York SHIELD, Barbara is a wealthy woman with a budget of 200 million dollars per year.
nature.
With Baker's promise of immortality and Barbara's temptation of ten million U.S. dollars, several members of Dom Cobb's team looked at each other and communicated.
Not long after.
Dry!
The members of the professional team nodded to each other. Dom Cobb received the signals from the members and looked directly at Baker: "We have taken this order."
Beck nodded.
The next second.
With a buzz, Dom Cobra was directly transported into the mirror world. Who knows if anything will happen if he invades Jinx's memory world.
As we all know, Baker hates changes the most. Moreover, this is apartment building No. 820. If something bad happens, Baker will become the public enemy of 30% of Manhattan's upper class.
Again.
The estate on Wards Island is still under construction, and is under the full responsibility of his secretary. It is expected that he will be able to move in by the end of next year. It is just in time to move out of Manhattan, the future hardest-hit area, when the curtain rises. Although Wards Island It also belongs to Manhattan, but there are single-family houses there and there are no high-rise buildings.
soon.
Baker and Barbara watched the movements of Dom Cobb's professional team. They saw Dom Cobb bend down and walk to Jinx who was sleeping on the sofa. He squatted down and muttered words with his hands, as if he was performing. Like some kind of evil magic.
but……
The effect is remarkable.
I saw that under Dom Cobb's professional methods, Jinx, who was originally sleeping on the sofa with frowning eyebrows, gradually relaxed his eyebrows. After a while, Jinx, who was helpless, turned into a sleeping person. Beauty Jinx.
"pretty."
"You haven't seen it before?"
Baker glanced at Barbara: "Dom Cobb's team is one of the top ten mysterious beings in the dark world, let alone the criminal world."
Under normal circumstances, Dom Cobb and others will not directly perform tasks in front of their employers.
but……
These are not ordinary circumstances.
After Dom Cobb knew Baker's true ability, naturally, Dom thought that Baker looked down upon some of his little tricks, so he didn't avoid them.
Of course Baker didn't care.
If he had a choice, Baker would rather choose the ability of [Eternal Nightmare Nocturne]. For someone like Dom Cobb, Baker felt that he probably wouldn't need it anymore.
soon.
With the help of the team members, Arthur, the outpost in charge of the outpost, lay down directly to the side, then swallowed a pill wrapped in Jinx's hair and closed his eyes.
Five seconds later.
Baker raised his eyebrows.
He could not feel the breath of soul on the Sentinel Arthur lying on the ground. In fact, Baker could clearly feel that the weight of the Sentinel Arthur had become lighter.
Twenty-one grams.
Although Baker didn't know the original weight of Sentinel Arthur, he could clearly sense it. Similarly, Jinx had an extra 21 grams of weight.
Twenty-one grams is the weight of the soul.
Arthur's soul ran inside?
Baker looked at Dom Cobb who came over after talking to his teammates: "What's wrong?"
Dom Cobb was a little worried: "When I was just hypnotized, I felt a hint of darkness."
Baker said: "Jinx once encountered an inhuman experiment."
Although he didn't know what Alchemist did to Jinx, he could tell just by looking at the Zaun Angry Beast that Alchemist was not a good person.
Daum shook his head: "No, that kind of pure black nightmare is different from what I felt in previous missions."
Baker thought for a while and found nothing.
A pure black nightmare.
what is that?
Daum then said: "In short, the risk factor of this mission is very high. I hope you can abide by the agreement."
Baker stretched out his right hand: "Of course!"
He is a qualified employer, and he is by no means the kind of person who wants to do nothing but kill the donkey after hiring him. After all, no one likes to deal with someone who does nothing but kill the donkey.
Baker didn't like it either, so he naturally understood Dom Cobb's concerns. Therefore, in order to relieve Dom Cobb from his worries, Baker even said: "If there is any problem during the mission, I will take action immediately. This is my promise to my friends."
He can also enter Jinx's memory world, but as I said before, modifying memories is not Baker's expertise. Professional matters still require professionals to do it. What Baker has to do is to watch from the side and ensure that this As long as things don't go wrong in any way.
Dom Cobb said, "I believe you."
Baker smiled: "Thank you."
What?
Hasn't it been once or twice that Baker has been true to his word?
Don't make trouble.
There is a reason why there is such slander against Baker in the world. There are two kinds of promises made by Baker, one is for enemies, one is for ordinary people, and the other is for friends.
Baker has always said what he promised to his enemies.
As for the promises made by ordinary people, Baker would hide his treasures and wait until the time comes.
To his friends, Baker has made a huge promise, and there will never be any change. Even if the mountains are flat and the heaven and the earth are united, this promise will not change.
Dom Cobb nodded, and then walked aside. The remaining three members of the professional team each found a seat on the sofa, sat down in a posture that they felt comfortable, and then, hand in hand, took the medicine they had just taken. The pill wrapped in a lock of Jinx's hair that Sentinel Arthur took.
moment.
Another sixty-three grams were lost, and not long after, Jinx gained an additional sixty-three grams.
In the mirror world.
After Barbara waited until Dom Cobb and others left for the mission, she looked at Baker curiously: "I thought you accepted the mission from Valoran to capture Jinx."
Baker smiled and said, "Didn't I catch her?"
Barbara shook her head: "No, what if Valoran asks about Jinx?"
Baker's expression was indifferent: "What should I do if I ask? Let's not say whether they will ask. Even if they ask, there is no extradition treaty between Valoran and Earth. Moreover, Barbara, you seem to have forgotten my profession."
"What?"
"I am an assassin, but the dark world and the criminal world call me a killer. I am a criminal. So naturally, a criminal, isn't it a natural thing to protect another criminal?"
"Yeah?"
"Isn't it?"
Barbara smiled, leaned into Baker's ear, and spoke in a soft, sweet and seductive voice: "You are a criminal in their eyes, but you are my Hero!"
Baker: "..."
Hero?
I like this name.
but……
Am I your Hero?
Baker thought for a moment, and it was okay. This was a compliment, nothing else, so the corners of Baker's mouth curved up slightly.
Jinx Memory World.
Boom!
A deafening explosion sounded instantly, and at the same time as the violent explosion sounded, Dom Cobb and his team also opened their eyes on a strange-looking aircraft.
Where is this place?
What about the Sentinels?
soon.
Adrian, the architect, uses his powers to pinpoint their current location: "We're on a plane."
There was a pause.
Adrian seemed to reorganize his words: "And it's on a plane that's about to crash."
"What?"
Dom Cobb and others were stunned for a moment. At this moment, the voice of Arthur, the outpost who had come in one step ahead of them, sounded urgently: "I put a parachute on your plane, jump out quickly."
On a skyscraper with a shape and style that is different from any civilized building on earth, Arthur squatted behind a water tank, covering the right side of his neck: "There are dark demons down there, don't be caught by them." , I’m on the roof of Building 3 in Area A, don’t jump by mistake.”
As a professional team, entering the memory world is like going home. Everyone's memory world is different, but no matter how different it is, the professional team will not get lost.
The world is different, but the space is only that big. It is divided into nine areas starting with A and ending with I. It is simple and crude. No matter which world you are in, you can instantly understand it.
Architect Adrian took a picture on his right hand, and a large aerial map of the city wrapped in countless dark lights instantly appeared in front of everyone.
What a beautiful city.
...if not destroyed.
Zuan.
In the central capital of a planet in the Valoran universe, all kinds of smoke and dust leak out from the criss-crossed, corroded and aging exhaust pipe network, filtering the light coming from above into strange colors, intersecting between the colored glasses of Zaun's workshop reflection.
Full of punk style.
But at this moment, the city is filled with green and strange colors and the constant roar of war, accompanied by crazy and epileptic laughter.
Come to think of it, this did not affect the speed at which Dom Cobb and others quickly put on their parachute bags and stumbled towards the leaky cabin exit.
For those of them who often wander in other people's memory worlds, once they die or lose consciousness in other people's memory worlds, they are very likely to sink permanently.
fortunately.
Dom Cobb's team is a professional team with a tacit understanding. Naturally, they often participate in some team-building activities, such as picnics, hunting, and... skydiving.
ten minutes later.
boom!
A plane painted to look like a grinning wolf head plunged directly into a building like a bird with broken wings. It was accompanied by an orange-red fireball and suddenly jumped to the top of the building that was about to collapse. , a crazy girl with two ponytails tied around her waist and a rocket launcher on one shoulder: "Welcome to Zaun!"
While talking.
There was a bang.
A huge ultimate death missile that was also painted into a grinning wolf head was instantly launched while the girl's figure recoiled slightly.
"This is how the Zaunians say hello."
"boom!"
Dom Cobb, who had just landed less than ten seconds ago, and the other four yelled "Shate" when they saw this.
"Adrian!"
"Go this way!"
Dom Cobb turned around and let out a loud roar. The architect Adrian understood instantly, opened his hands directly, built a spiral slide in front of them, and then jumped on it first.
The other three followed closely behind.
The next second.
"boom!"
Dom Cobb looked up and saw that under the ultimate death missile, the roof of the building they had just landed on instantly turned into a pile of powdery dregs.
"Walter Jafark."
Dom Cobb had already felt that the memory world here was very dangerous before he came in, but he never expected that it didn't matter that this memory world was terrifying, the key was that the real owner was still there.
Shouldn't she already be under control?
soon.
Dom Cobb looked at Sentinel Arthur: "What's going on?"
Arthur also looked confused and speechless. Logically speaking, as an outpost, he could directly locate the target when entering the memory world.
In fact this time is no exception.
Arthur sighed and pointed at Jinx, who had a double-flowered ponytail next to Dom Cobb. He didn't look crazy at all, in fact, he was a bit cute, and said: "I doubt it. Our target this time is split personality.”
If he did not control the target mission, then the actor Eames would never be able to directly role-play the target mission the moment he came in.
But here comes the problem.
Why is there still a target here?
Schizophrenia.
Only this reason can explain everything.
But……
When the architect Adrian constructed a building to block them, he also said, "It's not like we haven't been to the world of schizophrenics. Such things have never happened before."
"Then who do you think he is?"
"how could I know."
"..."
Dom Cobb looked at the two people who were quarreling and said solemnly: "Okay, no need to argue. It should be the memory demon. This time the target generated automatic defense after sensing the invasion."
Memory demon, or nightmare would be more accurate.
After all, not everyone will willingly accept their invasion. Some high-level people, even if they are hypnotized into sleep, will still find ways to stop them by their instinctive will.
only……
Eames, the actor, looked around at the city that was in chaos, as if it had been massacred by someone, and said, "Boss, I don't think it looks like a memory demon."
The memory demon is targeted at foreign invaders.
And this one?
Look at the mess in front of you, look at the ruins of this city.
Compared with Dom Cobb and others, the imposter pretending to be Jinx who was chasing them with missiles and bombing them not far away was a serious intruder.
The world of memory is the most precious thing for everyone.
Baker's memory world is a large electronic information library.
And Jinx's memory world is her hometown of Zaun. If this memory demon was formed by Jinx's instinct, then she would never carry out indiscriminate bombing without any care.
This simply destroys the memory rather than chasing away the intruder.
at this time.
It seems that when Dom Cobb and others revealed that this impostor was not a protector but an invader.
sky……
Suddenly it got dark.
