Although it is said to be a false existence restored from Cobb's memory, since Cobb and Mel spent their entire lives in the Lost Domain, they knew all the secrets of each other clearly.

Therefore, this fake Mel is almost no different from a real person. No wonder Cobb is often confused because of her existence, and has been in crisis many times during missions because of the fake Mel's trick.

In order to go home and meet the children again, Cobb finally made up his mind to abandon the psychological shadow of the past and say goodbye to the guilt that had been entangled with him for several years.

To this end, he must personally solve the guardian of the fourth level of dreams and complete this belated redemption for the future of the children.

As we penetrated into the city, Xin Sheng was amazed by the buildings that Cobb and Mel had created.

"You made these?"

“Most of it.”

Cobb recalls more details every step forward.

"This block is restored from memory. Many buildings exist in the real world, and we just did some artistic processing on it."

Everything in the dream world is unreal.

But precisely because of this unreality, people can make many designs that cannot be completed in their dreams that are impossible to complete in the real world.

Cobb and Mel like the openness of the villa, and also like the good view of high-rise buildings.

In the real world, it is difficult to both.

But in dreams, they can realize this idea.

Under Cobb's leadership, the two came to a luxurious building to take the elevator up.

“Ad Anne has always been curious about why I know so much about the concept of implantation.”

Cobb whispered in a low voice as if he was talking to himself: "Actually the answer is very simple."

"Click!"

After the elevator arrived at the station, Cobb loaded the pistol and pulled the safety out of the elevator carefully and walked out of the elevator and entered a long corridor.

“Because I’ve done concept implantation…to my wife.”

"Concept implantation is like a stubborn virus that can never be eliminated. Even if you leave the dream world, it will still echo in your mind, even if it is just a simple idea..."

"Your world is not real."

This sentence was not said by Cobb, but a middle-aged beauty who looked familiar in the villa.

Not long ago, Xin Sheng saw her in the third floor of the Snow Mountain Fortress... in the form of a corpse.

Xin Sheng was not interested in the love-hate entanglement between Cobb and his wife. When the two seemed to be peaceful and discussed in a low voice, Xin Sheng still held the hunting bow tightly in his hand, ready to attack at any time.

In fact, in Xin Sheng's opinion, Cobb is trying to convince himself rather than talking to his wife.

Because the Mel in front of him was reflected through his subconscious mind, a fake created by his indelible guilt and self-blame.

The reason why Cobb implanted Mel's concept is because Mel's real loss in the Lost Realm. She regards dreams as a real world and is unwilling to return to reality to meet the children.

Cobb and Mel have lived in the Lost Realm for decades, but he has never forgotten the children in the real world and always wants to convince Mel to return to reality.

After repeated persuasions failed, Cobb began to think of implanting the concept.

And this concept is what Fake Mel said before.

Your world is not real.

After returning to the real world, this idea still echoed in Mel's mind, causing her to always want to commit suicide and return to the "real" reality and meet their "real" children.

Mel hopes Cobb to "return" with her. She cut off all the way back and tells her lawyer that Cobb wants to murder her.

On her wedding anniversary with Mel, Cobb came to the hotel they would celebrate in previous years as usual.

Mel took this opportunity to jump from the high-rise hotel in front of Cobb.

This is the cause of Cobb being involved in the murder case. Due to the testimony of lawyer Meyer, police believe he is seriously suspected of killing his wife.

As a last resort, Cobb had to escape and had been drifting between multiple countries since then, and could only contact the children by phone.

The process of persuading fake Mel was actually Cobb trying to persuade himself to let go.

But people's ideas are so stubborn. Mel, created by Cobb, has never been willing to admit that he is a fake. He was so angry that he raised his kitchen knife and wanted to stab Cobb.

"bite!"

Xin Sheng, who was prepared, immediately shot out an arrow, bounced the kitchen knife in Meier's hand away, and at the same time moved his feet behind her, and used a bowstring to hold Meier's neck.

"Don't move around unless you don't want your head."

Mel's snow-white neck was struck by a red mark by the sharp bowstring. If Xin Sheng continued to use force, the amazing bowstring could even cut off her trachea and carotid artery.

Cobb looked at Mel with a complicated expression and finally sighed, picked up the pistol and pointed it at her head.

"Sorry, although I restored it as much as possible, you are not my wife after all. For our children... goodbye forever."

"Bang!"

He was cruel to kill the fake Mel, and Cobb's frowns all year round slightly relaxed.

He turned his gun and pointed it at his head: "Xin, your situation is quite special. Even if you kill yourself, you are unlikely to enter the Lost Realm. Someone must help you guide you."

"I'll confirm it last before departure."

Cobb was still a little puzzled by Xin Sheng's company at this point: "Are you sure you want to follow me into the real lost realm? I promise you that it is definitely not a good place."

Xin Sheng smiled and nodded: "I will no longer hide it from you."

"Cobb, I'm not dead."

"Because of some unexpected situations, I was temporarily in a state of out-of-body out of my body, and it was purely a coincidence that I appeared in the dream world."

"I need to enter the Lost Realm and find an outlet to leave this subconscious world."

Cobb was stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"I don't know exactly what you're talking about, but I believe you know what you're doing."

"Come on, I'll set out first."

"Bang!"

Cobb shot his head without hesitation, but no corpse was left behind. His consciousness turned into a stream of light and dissipated in place, escaping into a lower level of lost territory.

Following Cobb's fragments of consciousness, Xin Sheng teared open the passage to the lost domain and stepped in without hesitation.

“…It’s the sea again?”

I don’t know if it comes from the concept of the sea of ​​consciousness. Whether it is the lost domain transformed by Cobb and Mel, or the real lost domain located on the edge of the subconscious mind, the first thing I come into contact with is the boundless sea.

Unlike the city built by Cobb and Mel, the scenery in the real Lost Land is very primitive, with almost no man-made traces around it. Only an ancient Japanese castle stands strangely on the reefs by the sea.

“…Tianshou Pavilion?”

"Hey! Who are you guys! (Japanese)"

There were dozens of bodyguards in suits and ties surrounding the castle inspecting. The appearance of Xin Sheng and Cobb aroused their alertness and they pointed the gun at the two of them.

If necessary, Xin Sheng could destroy all these dozens of bodyguards in just a few breaths, but that would have no meaning.

These bodyguards are dummies reflected by the subconscious mind. Even if they are killed, they will appear again in the castle and become more aggressive.

Xin Sheng raised his hands and signaled that he had no malice. At the same time, he kicked Cobb, who was sleeping in the beach.

"Don't be nervous, we are here to find Mr. Saito."
