The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

what you mean?

This dream.

Merkel looked around with her eyes. This is a clean and tidy doctor's office. The reason why she can tell that it is a doctor's office is not only because Schiller in front of her is wearing a white coat, but also because it is by Schiller's hand. There are many medical records, anatomical diagrams on the wall and a consultation bed next to the room.

It is really very real here, exactly like the offices used by most doctors that Merkel has seen. The images and text on the anatomical maps are clearly visible. All the details are real and impeccable, not like a dream at all.

Just now, Merkel witnessed the absurd scene in the banquet hall, and saw the terrifying black tide and dazzling light. Merkel is a firm materialist, and his common sense tells him that this kind of thing will not happen. Happened in reality, then there may only be one that is a dream.

The only question is, how did Schiller create such a real but absurd dream, and how did he pull people into this dream?

Merkel feels that figuring out this issue now is much more important than his original mission goal, because as far as he knows, human beings' research on dreams of brain consciousness is still very simple, and this will be a very important piece of information.

Haven't you already experienced it?

You mean the bottle of wine?

Schiller nodded, and then went on: Of course, that's the problem.

He fingered his head, and then said to Merkel: You should understand that consciousness and dreams are the products of the human brain, and you must have a brain that is smart enough to have enough capacity to run a huge brain. And real dreams.

...brain development? Merkel obviously thought of something.

It seems that you are not just a low-level agent who unilaterally provided intelligence to the Soviet Union. You should also know some Soviet intelligence.

Merkel immediately shut up, and at the same time, he was a little annoyed in his heart, as if he had been tricked by Schiller.

Schiller shook his head and said, You don't have to be nervous. I know better than you how far this topic has been researched and how far it can be researched in the future.

...to what extent?

To the point of no progress.

Merkel moved his lips as if to refute, but he was worried that he would give away more information, so he said to Schiller: You don't seem to be answering my question.

I answered, and the answer was the bottle plus my brain, nothing else.

I know you're thinking about how to take that bottle of wine, or how to take my brain...

But I advise you not to do that. Either of these two things studied alone may be a disaster.

We are not afraid of any disaster.

Schiller opened his mouth, and he found that he really couldn't answer Merkel's answer, so he could only say:

Now it's my turn to ask the second question, what is your mission objective?

Merkel frowned, as if she didn't expect Schiller to be so straight to the point. He thought that the two would have at least two more rounds of testing.

But this made him feel more at ease. It seems that he felt that Schiller's personality had changed before, but it was just his illusion.

I'm after an agent.

who is he?

It's our internal business.

Why are you after him?

Because for a long time, he lost contact.

Schiller flipped the pen in his hand, looked at Merkel and said: You are telling the truth, but only part of the truth.

You want to find the man who might have taken Philby's list, don't you?

Merkel's pupils shrank suddenly, and he frowned deeply, trying to keep calm. He wanted to deny it, but his rationality told him that since Schiller had said the name Philby List, it proved that He knows a lot.

Where did you know the name?

Is this your next question?

……yes.

Right now, my body is in the mansion of the mayor of the metropolis. There was an accident here just now. I won't say much about what it was, but in short, a group of agents sealed off the place.

Just now, the leader among them announced something in the banquet hall. He claimed that among the participants of the banquet, a Soviet spy took away Philby's list, and after finding out the name Agents won't let us go until we're spies.

Merkel's face darkened immediately, he could hardly control his facial expressions, and the anxiety in his heart was already written on his face.

Who is he? Where is he now?

I don't know. After Schiller gave the answer, Merkel still stared at him, Schiller tapped the table with the tip of his pen and said, How can I know something that even the CIA agents are not sure about?

Okay, I will ask one last question and answer your last doubt, and then I will put your consciousness back into your body.

Schiller looked into Merkel's eyes and asked:

Why is the Philby List so important?

Merkel pursed his lips. He was hesitating whether he should tell Schiller about this issue. If he was really an enemy, after he understood the importance of the list, he might help CIA agents kill the Soviet Union who had the list. agent.

He recalled some details of getting along with Schiller in his mind. He had to admit that Schiller was a very strange person. He was very different from ordinary Americans, even British and even Europeans. Not a normal person, thinking is beyond the comprehension of normal people.

Facing such a person, it is difficult for you to judge his ideology, or even what he believes in.

If it was in the past, Merkel would feel that he was not good at work and did not collect enough information, but now, it gave him a little illusion of self-deception. Maybe Schiller would not completely fall to the CIA, and maybe there was still a little bit of fighting for it. possibility of help.

Finally, he still opened his mouth and said:

Perhaps, you should have heard on the radio that before Philby left the UK, that is, between 1962 and 1963, he had undergone a lot of investigations. That period was extremely dangerous, even though Philby had lived in Even if you are in a high position, you will not be able to get out completely.

Philby used to be an important staff member of MI6's Fifth Division and the chief of the Ninth Division's intelligence work on the Soviet Union. I think you should also know what this means.

The Ninth Section is responsible for intelligence work on the Soviet Union, and their section chief is ours.

During this career, Philby obtained a lot of intelligence. At the same time, he was also responsible for tracking down the spies that the Soviet Union might have buried in other countries. Taking advantage of his position, he defended many of our comrades and guaranteed their work can be carried out smoothly.”

At the same time, he also knows the secret agents and spies buried in the Soviet Union by many countries. If you know about espionage work, you should know that sending spies is mutual. There is no such thing as what Western countries say, only the Soviet Union is engaged in espionage work.

Come to Philby's position, the information he has is very scary, and the most important information is the identity of the Soviet spies and spies of other countries.

When facing an important investigation, Philby is not sure that he can return to the Soviet Union safely. Even so, he hopes that the information he has can be passed back to the Soviet Union.

But at that time, his every move was closely monitored. The person in charge of investigating him wanted to find evidence of his crimes from his behavior. Philby knew that he could not contact Moscow directly. He A more tactful approach has to be taken.

Thus, there is the Philby List.

Merkel sighed, put his hands on the table, clasped them together, and said, It records, as far as Philby can get, all the secrets of Soviet spies and spies of other countries. Identity Information.

I think you should know how important this is.

That's why the CIA wants to get this list, because it probably also records the list of spies they planted. Although decades have passed, as long as some people can be identified, they can Follow the vine.

All intelligence agencies think this way. They don't want any of their opponents or even teammates to get this list. This may cause a devastating blow to their intelligence network in a certain area.

What do you mean, a more tactful way to transfer this list?

The words have already been said, and there is no need for Merkel to hide any more. He said: It is the oldest way, find a trusted person, give it to him, and then that person will take it back to Moscow.

But in the end it didn't work out.

No, it actually succeeded. In other words, although the plan did not succeed, Philby got rid of the investigation and returned to Moscow successfully. Those materials are all in his mind.

So the Soviet Union already has the information?

Merkel sighed and said: That's why other countries want to find this list even more, because they are already in a weak position. During the years when Philby returned to Moscow until his death, the Western countries were in intelligence. At work, it can be said that there are repeated battles and failures, and this is also the influence of Philby.

They want to point to this list to make a comeback?

Merkel shook her head and said: Actually not, they just need something to do business.

He stretched out a hand, made a gesture, and said, The information in Kim Philby's mind should be pretty much the same as what's recorded on Philby's list.

As long as they can get the Philby list and prove that the information on it is very detailed and can cause great damage, then they can push the failure of intelligence work over the years to Philby and the failure to try Phil than the person.

Schiller immediately understood that what Merkel meant was that this group of people worked so hard to find this list, in fact, to show that the opponent was too strong, not that they were too weak.

As long as this list is found, and there are very detailed spy information recorded on the list, they can reason that we are playing a bright card, how could we beat the opponent? In this way, the failure of intelligence work over the years can be A write-off.

But why this time? Schiller asked again.

Merkel shook her head, indicating that he didn't know either, but Schiller could understand that if the CIA wanted to take the blame, did it have to pick a time? In other words, dumping the pot is their main business.

Okay, you can ask me one last question, and then you can end this dream.

Merkel was silent for a while, just when Schiller wanted to remind him, he looked into Schiller's eyes, and said in a hoarse voice:

Have you read the Communist Manifesto?

Schiller was silent for a long time, then he stood up, walked to the window, looked at the nothingness outside the window, and said in a low voice:

Did you know? The CIA agent is right outside my door, and I just need to wake up right away and tell him you're not going to survive this winter after you asked me that.

I know……

Schiller looked back, and he saw that there was a light in Merkel's eyes, brighter than the sun that descended on the top of the tower before.

But I don't care.
