THE DREAM
CHAPTER 13
“Well for firsts, check your phone if you are still able to see that call on your logs.” Jessica said. But something about her face said she already knew the answer.
I checked my call logs and it wasn’t there.
“What! No it isn’t there on the logs. But neither of us touched the phone or deleted the log or wait! Did I? I don’t know anymore.”
“No, you didn’t. This was most probably done remotely by someone who knew their way around this stuff.”
“Alright I am all ears. What are you suggesting?”
“I am suggesting that whoever the culprit is, he or she is very smart. They’ve managed to loop you in cleanly into this crime, negated all your efforts to find the truth, and then deleted all the records of their involvement. Either by killing them, by injuring them, by not allowing us to collect data or as simple as deleting the call logs.
They think they have outsmarted us……”
“Do I sense a but coming there?” I was curious now“But, they didn’t know our full potential. We had a real time back up, so atleast before you went all beserk we have all the data, and even after that, I had a microbot planted in you which they didn’t know so we do have some more data too.”
Okay I was pretty impressed by this. Jessica was wayyy smarter than she came across in your first glance. She was pretty good at what she did.
“So what is our next move now?”
“To confirm some of my theories I need to conduct one more test on you. I need to conduct a deep dive test.”
“What is that? I have to go deep sea diving? What are you measuring even? I didn’t get it.”
“No idiot not deep sea diving. It is a tool we use. The deep dive engine. This helps you to dream lucidly. So you will be aware what you are dreaming and at the same time the engine is built in such a way that you will be awake and can answer my questions real-time, so we can know what exactly is going on.” I was stunned. Did such a technology even exist. I was really excited to see this in action.
So we got all the stuff ready. Jessica started explaining me the procedure.
“So according to my theory, the reminder on your phone is your trigger to start dreaming. And the call that you received that was your trigger to go into sort of an awakened state, where you don’t know what is going on, but you act on certain instructions that your culprit has directed. Obviously these are all hypnotic techniques and I may be wrong in my hypothesis and that is exactly why I want to test it.”
All of that was sounding meaningless to me. How was all that even possible? How could someone hypnotize me? I mean when did that even happen? But since Jessica was suggesting the theory and since there was no harm in testing it, I thought let’s try this one last time.
So again I was on bed and found myself entangled with wires, this time with even more than before. I was given a weird looking headgear which was apparently the deep dive gear. I was strapped to the bed this...
