Transcript
00:00I'm Serena, a dreamweaver who can tell truth from illusion.
00:04In my past life, the long-lost true daughter of the Carter family returned,
00:09claiming she'd seen an apocalyptic ice age and begging the family to sell everything to hoard
00:14supplies. I could see her mind was twisted by nightmares. Her so-called future was broken
00:20and full of mistakes. I tried my best to stop them, but my parents called me cruel,
00:26saying I couldn't stand my long-lost sister. They sent me to the Antarctic without even
00:31packing extra clothes. If you won't agree with Chloe, just go away and calm down for a while.
00:37When I opened my eyes, I was back to the moment right before she arrived.
00:42This time, I stayed quiet in the corner and watched her fool the family with her
00:47ridiculous dream story again. Her adoptive father, Arthur, was thrilled. She laid out her so-called
00:55doomsday blueprint, how to use her foreknowledge, perfume for Morton, to protect their home.
01:01We do exactly what Chloe says.
01:04The true daughter, Chloe, counted her money happily and went on a wild shopping spree.
01:11I lifted my teacup, hiding a cold smile. Go ahead and hoard. I can't wait to see their faces when
01:19all
01:19the supplies they wasted everything on rot away in peacetime.
01:24Serena,
01:25Chloe is our birth daughter.
01:28But we've loved you as our own for 18 years.
01:31You've never suffered.
01:33We can't let you be alone.
01:34Stay home,
01:35and we'll take care of you.
01:37If I hadn't been reborn,
01:39I would have fallen for this fake kindness
01:41all over again.
01:42They don't care about me.
01:43They just need to keep up appearances for their business partners and show the world how loyal
01:49and loving the Carter family is.
01:51In my past life,
01:53I fell for their sweet words and thought 18 years of care meant something real.
01:58But, in the end,
01:59just because I told the truth,
02:01they abandoned me in the Antarctic.
02:03If I stay,
02:05how will your precious birth daughter Chloe feel?
02:08Arthur and Diana froze and exchanged nervous looks.
02:13Chloe suffered outside for years.
02:16We owe her so much.
02:17Please be nicer to her for us, okay?
02:21Be nicer?
02:22How?
02:23Should I even give up my right to breathe?
02:25Arthur Hermari'd explain.
02:27That's not what I mean.
02:29Was sneered.
02:30Now what do you mean?
02:31Did I make her live outside?
02:34Wie wei how should I make for it?
02:36Chloe is sweet.
02:37You two will get along.
02:38Please.
02:39Who doesn't love their own blood?
02:41Blood ties can't be broken.
02:42What am I if I stay?
02:44A replacement you'll always hate next to your real daughter?
02:47Seening them a guilty faces.
02:48What's nad?
02:50I'd rather leave than stay here and embarrass myself.
02:55Sir.
02:56Ma'am.
02:56It's the eldest miss.
02:58Something's wrong.
02:59What happened?
03:00What's wrong with Chloe?
03:02Butler Wallace panted.
03:03Scared.
03:04She won't get out unless you two pick her up.
03:06She thinks the family doesn't want her.
03:08We can't calm her down.
03:09She's very upset and has some protective items with her.
03:12Arthur turned pale and Diana nearly fainted.
03:14Serena, Chloe is throwing a fit.
03:16We have to go get her.
03:18Come with us and calm her down.
03:19I watched this selfish couple and smeared inside, but put on a sad, understanding face.
03:24If I go, she'll never come in.
03:27Just give me some money and I'll move out for a few days.
03:30They hated to admit it, but they knew I was right.
03:34In my past life, because I stayed, Chloe felt threatened and used the same trick.
03:39She cried in the closed car until she passed out from loxygen.
03:45They blamed me, who did nothing, for trapping the real daughter with a huge false charge.
03:53From that moment on, they stopped talking to me until they kicked me out.
03:57Diana threw me a card.
03:59Stay away from Chloe.
04:02Take this.
04:03Take care of yourself.
04:04We'll come get you after Chloe calms down.
04:07I held the bank card and smiled silently.
04:10The pocket saved.
04:11Plus, they just gave me totaled $532,370.
04:16She's just a child.
04:17A very clever child.
04:20I'm Selina Vale, the Dreamweaver who can see the future.
04:23I immediately invested all the money in purchasing, running around to major suppliers throughout
04:27the city and buying up all the long shelf life she pre-cooked meals on the market.
04:31She'd rented a warehouse.
04:33Canned goods, white rice, beef jerky, dried pasta, peanut butter, and all sorts of other
04:40dishes filled the newly rented warehouse.
04:42Soon, the Carter family will be frantically buying up everything they consider emergency
04:46supplies in their so-called apocalyptic dream.
04:49When the time comes, I'll make them beg me to sell to them, offering 10 or even 100
04:53times the price.
04:54During childbirth at the hospital, the adoptive mother, overwhelmed by excruciating pain, lost
04:59control and lashed out at the nurse.
05:01In a moment of resentment and impulsivity, the nurse switched the two newborn baby girls
05:06under the cover of night.
05:07That's how I became the Carter's daughter and grew up there for 18 years.
05:12In the end, I collapsed in the cold for refusing their ridiculous plan and died without ever
05:17knowing who my real parents were.
05:19In the warehouse, the delivery boss looked at the mountain of goods and asked curiously,
05:24Little lady, you bought so much, can you sell it all?
05:28When will you finish?
05:30I want to move it.
05:30She smiled confidently and said, I have big clients.
05:34I'll sell it all.
05:35It's money to baffeting and.
05:36Let's jun, with year.
05:38And have your chapter about take hours.
05:40The boss nodded and skedited with her about the business.
05:42It's weird, but lately a lot of people are buying in bulk just like you.
05:45Wives a few we others, sorry.
05:46They say they're scared after reading apocalypse novels and want to stock up early.
05:50You to deal.
05:50I might found, if he temptates smorver and estraining.
05:53I want to stock up early.
05:54He went on.
05:55It's weird, but lately a lot of people are buying in bulk you.
05:58He went on.
05:59He went in your problem ooze that was sets to marry do.
06:01They say they're scared after reading apocalypse novels and want to stock up early.
06:07Our factory orders have tripled and workers can't keep up even with overtime.
06:10Where prepper vittiesmere center and an omni-sickling overtime?
06:12Right.
06:13Experts say this winter will be extremely cold.
06:15Preppers will go even crazier.
06:17Make hay while the sun shines.
06:19Boss, if you can, increase production and make more money while you can.
06:22In seven days, I'll take every single unit you can make.
06:25I can do that.
06:26Let's do it.
06:26Really?
06:27Great.
06:27I have friends in this business.
06:29I'll call them right now to produce at full speed.
06:32And Yomundi on gummy.
06:32Hello.
06:33Didn't end.
06:34This nature-upper by speed lucky spy is another.
06:36You're my lucky star.
06:37Boss, if hard times really come, money won't be worth much.
06:41Aren't you worried?
06:41Make hay while the sun shines.
06:43Give your family a good life.
06:44Living in the moment is what matters.
06:45Let the future take care of itself.
06:47See?
06:47Even a regular boss understands this.
06:48Live in the moment.
06:49Apocalypse talk is mostly nonsense.
06:50Even if things change, survival is never that simple.
06:53But my adoptive parents were blinded by that ridiculous lie.
06:57In my last life, I told them their so-called prophecy made no sense.
07:03Cold weather wouldn't lead to a total collapse.
07:05I was sitting in my small rented apartment, calculating my profit from the Carters when there
07:10was a loud knock.
07:16I looked through the peephole and raised an eyebrow.
07:19Arthur and Diana came in person, with teary-eyed Chloe beside them.
07:28When I opened the door, all three were shocked by my situation.
07:33This tiny, shabby apartment was nothing like my bedroom in the Carter mansion.
07:38To raise money, I'd sold all luxury bags and jewelry, wearing only cheap, ordinary clothes.
07:41Serena!
07:42How can you live in a place like this?
07:44And look at yourself!
07:47I'm Tukamit.
07:51Arthur frowned, looking around the small room.
07:55Why are you here?
07:58She broke free from her mother and tried to grab me, but I stepped aside.
08:02She didn't feel-
08:03Mr. Serena, are you mad at me?
08:05For coming back and taking Mom and Dad and everything that was yours?
08:09But I'm innocent!
08:11I suffered outside for years and finally found my home.
08:14Mom and Dad raised you for 18 years and loved you like their own.
08:17How could you be so cruel to leave and hurt yourself to punish them?
08:21Don't you know how much pain you've caused them?
08:24Everything that was mine?
08:26It was never mine to begin with.
08:28How could you take it?
08:29Go back?
08:30That's not my home.
08:31Why would I go back?
08:32Do you want me to be in your way?
08:33I don't want to go back with you.
08:35I'll just be plagued by debt disputes.
08:37Serena!
08:38Don't be ungrateful.
08:40We're letting you come back out of old kindness.
08:44Don't push it!
08:45Don't talk nonsense.
08:47Come back with us.
08:48What's so good about staying in this wretched place?
08:50Are you out of your minds?
08:52Can't you understand?
08:53I'm not blood-related.
08:55Why force me to go back?
08:5618 years of raising you makes us family.
08:58We can't let you be alone.
09:00Enough.
09:01You chose to make me leave, so don't say this now.
09:04Please go.
09:05This Serena.
09:06If you're hell mad, I'll kneel to you.
09:09Aishi Shedj actually began kneel to.
09:11But foster mama's Herkley lad her wait.
09:13And her purns to the blust about for Mexit.
09:16What are you doing?
09:17Do you have to make things so awkward?
09:19Sister Serena, come home with us.
09:21If you insist on living outside, then we'll stay here with you.
09:25We're family.
09:26We'll share the hardships.
09:27I stared at them in disbelief.
09:29Their desperate apocalypse stockpile was at a critical stage, yet they had time to put
09:34on a sad show for me.
09:38Fine.
09:38I'll go back with you tomorrow.
09:40I went back to the Carters as promised.
09:42As soon as I walked in, Chloe wrapped in a thick blanket and trembled.
09:46Sister Serena, isn't it extra cold this year?
09:49Do you think hard times are really coming?
09:51It's like this every winter.
09:53I'd secretly had someone turn up the AC in the mansion to blow 16 Cessius cold air while
09:57showing 26 Cessius.
09:59In the following days, I acted extremely gentle.
10:02I was respectful to Chloe as if I truly accepted her and caring to my adoptive parents.
10:07I even offered to move my household registration out of the Carters to put Chloe's mind at Reist
10:11and show I wouldn't covet their wealth.
10:14This noble move got me another large sum of compensation.
10:18I immediately used that money to buy exactly the top emergency supplies on Chloe's list.
10:24When I got back to the Carters, I found Arthur, Diana, and Chloe sitting stiffly with serious
10:29faces.
10:30Chloe suddenly grabbed my arm.
10:32Sister!
10:33Where were you?
10:34What took you so long?
10:35Something huge happened!
10:37I pretended to be confused.
10:40What?
10:41Is the family short of money?
10:42She squeezed my wrist tightly, her eyes wide with excitement.
10:46The extreme cold crisis is coming.
10:49It's here!
10:50Finally!
10:51My heart raced and I could barely hold back my smile.
10:55The extreme cold crisis is coming.
10:57She squeezed my wrist tightly, her eyes wide with excitement.
11:00It's here!
11:01Finally!
11:02My heart raced and I could barely hold back my smile.
11:06The mountains of ready-to-eat meals in my warehouse.
11:09The massive industrial fuel I bought.
11:11All my plans and investments were finally going to pay off.
11:15But I knew I had to keep acting.
11:17I forced down my joy and said hesitantly,
11:19Sister, did you have a nightmare?
11:21A crisis?
11:23That's...
11:23That's ridiculous.
11:25I even reached to touch her forehead, playing a worried sister.
11:28No!
11:28This isn't an illusion!
11:30Chloe fanatically believed her prophecy.
11:32She begged earnestly to say,
11:35You have to believe me.
11:37Everything in my dream was so real.
11:39The bitter cold, the terrible feeling.
11:42We have to act.
11:44This is a warning from heaven and a chance for us.
11:46Watching her dramatic performance, I sneered deeply inside.
11:50She just had a twisted, overblown nightmare full of logical holes.
11:54In my last life, I took it too seriously and tried too hard to pull them out of this ridiculous
11:59fantasy.
12:00No matter how I showed data and reasoning.
12:03Pointing out the messy timeline,
12:05contradictory physics,
12:06and unrealistic weather signs in her dream.
12:09I begged them to stay calm and not let things get worse for our family.
12:12But what did I get in return?
12:16Serena, how could you do this to us?
12:18We've devoted 18 years to raising you and this is how you treat us?
12:22In the end, they sent me away.
12:26If you don't believe Chloe, go away and calm down for a while.
12:30The bitter cold rose from my bones again and the pain felt so real.
12:34I clenched my fist unconsciously to stay calm.
12:36The time for revenge had finally come.
12:39I knew Chloe's nightmares made her oppose me subconsciously.
12:42The more I argued against something, the more she'd insist on it.
12:46Selene Vavel's prophecy.
12:47It's not just a warning.
12:48I took a deep breath, looked at Arthur and Diana.
12:51Dad, Mom, you don't really believe this, do you?
12:53It's too risky.
12:54Selling assets?
12:55Hoarding supplies?
12:56If it's fake, our family will be ruined financially.
12:58I took a deep breath, looked at Arthur and Diana as if asking for support.
13:02Dad, Mom, you don't really believe this, do you?
13:04It's too risky.
13:06Selling assets?
13:07Hoarding supplies?
13:08If it's fake, our family will be ruined financially.
13:11The company is your life's work.
13:13The old house is our root.
13:15How can you risk everything on a dream?
13:18It's so irrational.
13:22Sure is Ednant.
13:23Soon I show off, Chloe exploded.
13:25Fake?
13:26How could it be fake?
13:29Mom, look at her.
13:31She doesn't see me as her sister or care about this family.
13:35She only cares about money and cold assets.
13:39When hard times come, money will be useless waste paper.
13:42The company and house will be gone.
13:46Only supplies.
13:47Enough food, medicine, and energy can keep us alive.
13:51She turned to her father.
13:53Dad, we can't hesitate anymore.
13:56We have to sell everything we can for real supplies before anyone else.
14:01We have to most resources to live safely.
14:04This is the Carter family's chance for security.
14:07Arthur had decades of business experience, and Diana came from a noble family.
14:12I was afraid they'd see the huge risks and illogical flaws.
14:16But I once again underestimated their guilt and love for their lost and found birth daughter,
14:21and the huge temptation of the fake apocalypse and safe life plan.
14:25Chloe's right.
14:26We must take extreme measures.
14:29Better safe than sorry.
14:30We can't risk the whole family on a maybe.
14:34Serena, I know you're careful, but this time you must listen to Chloe.
14:39Honey, I support you.
14:41No matter what, we'll fight for the best future for the Carter family.
14:46Sure enough, human greed never changes.
14:49But Dad...
14:50No buts!
14:53I'll contact brokers and banks right now.
14:56To sell all stocks and bonds, get an appraisal company for the house, and start consolidating
15:03all assets.
15:05We can sell off our equity in the company's overseas project to cash out.
15:11Liquidate all the gold.
15:13Chloe, make a full list of what you need.
15:18Don't worry about money.
15:20Time and supplies are all that matter.
15:22Chloe's eyes lit up with excitement.
15:24I know, Dad.
15:26I'm ready.
15:27Food, water, medicine, fuel, generators, cold gear, all of it.
15:32And...
15:32And protective gear.
15:34Yes, protective gear is important too.
15:36I watched the three of them plan excitedly to restructure assets and buy wildly.
15:42And the heavy, cold stone in my heart about my past life finally lifted completely.
15:48The time was right to cash in.
15:50I acted at once.
15:51Using shell companies and fake identities I'd prepared.
15:55I steadily released messages on supply forums and prepper groups.
16:00Similar messages are flying around.
16:02Urgent purchase request.
16:04Long-term buyer of all kinds of long shelf life prepared meals.
16:07Cannon goods.
16:08Beef jerky.
16:09Dried pasta.
16:10And white rice prefavored.
16:11Price initiatual.
16:12Cash ready.
16:13Need large amounts of industrial fuel.
16:24These urgent buying posts, tupped with fake insider news and purchase request, long-term buyer of all kinds of panic,
16:32that supplies were running out.
16:34I hired many trolls to post on Chloe's favorite prepper forums, bragging they'd luckily but bought the last key supplies,
16:41making others jealous and desperate.
16:45Meanwhile, through a random middleman, I contacted Chloe, who was in charge of all buying, as a manager of a
16:52large food wholesale company.
16:55Miss Chloe, I do have a stock of goods left by a defaulting client.
17:01Quality guaranteed.
17:03But, you know the market right now.
17:07These urgent buying posts, paired with fake insider news and expert forecasts, quickly created a panic that supplies were running
17:15out.
17:19Miss Chloe, I do have a stock of goods left by a defaulting client.
17:25Quality guaranteed.
17:27But, you know the market right now.
17:32Lots of buyers are after this stock, so the price isn't cheap.
17:35She already fully believed her dream, had failed to buy elsewhere, I'd bought most channels out, and was panicked by
17:40online supply shortages.
17:41She didn't doubt me at all, and asked eagerly,
17:43How much? How many?
17:45And, I'll take everything.
17:47I quoted a price tens higher than the market.
17:50There was a short silence on the line.
17:52Besides, she was desperate to prove her ability and foresight to her parents.
17:57Okay, but I need to inspect the goods, and fast.
18:00Of course.
18:01Is there enough?
18:02No problem.
18:03The inspection was a carefully staged show.
18:05In my huge rented warehouse, mountains of ready meals were stacked neatly, well packaged and impressive under the lights.
18:12But I wasn't worried.
18:13Chloe believed these supplies would be worth 100 or 1,000 times more in a crisis.
18:18So this, this investment, meant nothing to her.
18:22My fake workers busily counted and moved goods to look like a busy business.
18:26Chloe stared at the huge stock, her eyes shining, and all doubt vanished.
18:30Perfect.
18:31These are exactly what we need.
18:32She jumped with excitement, as if already enjoying the food safely.
18:35She didn't even bargain and bought every single ready meal in my warehouse, at ten times the price.
18:39Looking at the huge number in my bank account, I forced back a loud laugh.
18:44This was only the beginning.
18:45Take everything.
18:46She didn't doubt me at all, and asked eagerly.
18:48I coded a price ten times higher dress hires on the line.
18:52There was a short silence.
18:53But I wasn't worried.
18:55Chloe believed these supplies would be worth 100 or 1,000 times more in a crisis.
18:58So, this investment meant nothing to her.
19:02That's the idea.
19:04Right after, I released news that I had industrial fuel to sell.
19:09I heard you have fuel to sell.
19:11We'll take everything.
19:13Name your price.
19:14Several buyers are already negotiating.
19:17We'll pay five times the price.
19:20Ten times.
19:21Just sell everything to us.
19:23Since you're so sincere, Mr. Carter, we'll go with your price.
19:27Money poured into my account like a flood.
19:30Meanwhile, the Carter family was overjoyed with their successful purchases.
19:35Chloe was arrogant.
19:37Thinking she'd done a great service to the family with her dream guidance and bold decisions.
19:44Arthur and Diana stared at the warehouses full of emergency supplies.
19:48Smiling with satisfaction and pride.
19:51As if they already held the key to safe living.
19:54They'd completely forgotten about me, the fake daughter.
19:57When they mentioned me at dinner, it was only with a patronizing tone.
20:02Serena's been quiet lately.
20:04She must have come to her senses.
20:06When hard times come, we'll give her a meal out of old kindness.
20:12Eat, laugh, and keep dreaming.
20:15Every hope you hoard now will become the final straw that crushes you.
20:20Every penny you spend now is building my new life.
20:24Soon came the day Chloe claimed the crisis would arrive.
20:27Arthur turned pale, refreshing the weather and news again and again.
20:31The screen clearly showed eight degrees Celsius.
20:35He slammed his tablet on the sofa.
20:37Chloe, what is this?
20:39You swore the crisis would start today.
20:42Ice and death.
20:44Look outside.
20:45The sun is shining bright.
20:47Diana paced anxiously.
20:50Chloe, did you get the date wrong or misread the dream?
20:53Think again carefully.
20:55Chloe looked very nervous.
20:57Dad, Mom, don't worry.
20:59The dream was real.
21:01Maybe it's just delayed.
21:04Yes, it must be delayed.
21:06Chloe looked very nervous.
21:09Dad, Mom, don't worry.
21:10The dream was real.
21:12Maybe it's just delayed.
21:15Yes, it must be delayed.
21:18Weather changes aren't always on time.
21:20It's a little longer.
21:22Maybe tomorrow or the day after, the cold will come.
21:26Besides, it was only a little cold at first in the dream.
21:29The real extreme cold comes slowly.
21:32Join.
21:33Gry to tell you, tear.
21:34She was starting to doubt but pretended to be sure.
21:37I sat in the corner of the dining room, pouring myself hot water.
21:40The steam hid my cold smile.
21:42Delayed?
21:43What a pathetic excuse.
21:45One day, two days, three days, a week passed.
21:47The sun still shone brightly, the temperature stayed mild, and even spring buds appeared
21:50on the street.
21:51The so-called extreme cold apocalypse never showed up.
21:54But debt negotiators arrived at the Carter's door long before it.
22:01Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter, long time no see.
22:05The payment date was days ago.
22:07Our patience is running out.
22:09Do you have the money?
22:10Sir, sir, give us a few more days.
22:12We're having cash flow issues.
22:14More time?
22:15The man scoffed and kicked the coffee table, making cups rattle.
22:20I give you time.
22:21Who gives me time?
22:23No money today, and we proceed with legal recovery.
22:26Just then, Chloe rushed forward and screamed.
22:29Money?
22:30You still care about money?
22:31Hard times are coming soon!
22:33The whole room went silent when she spoke.
22:36The man and his staff froze for a few seconds, then burst into loud laughter.
22:40Hard times?
22:42Supplies?
22:43Mr. Carter, I see clearly now.
22:45No wonder your daughter holds such strong views.
22:48Your whole family is acting unreasonably.
22:50Do you really take me for someone you can easily deceive?
22:53His face turned dark.
22:55Cut the crap!
22:56Pay up with interest today, or we'll follow procedures.
22:59We have the most popular emergency supplies.
23:02We'll give you 10%.
23:03Better than money.
23:04The man in black got angry.
23:07You think I'm fooled by this?
23:08I want real money, not useless supplies.
23:11The deal fell through.
23:12Arthur stared at the staff, then at the daughter who'd ruined him.
23:15A struggle flashed in his eyes, then turned cold and resentful.
23:18He said and did nothing.
23:20Diana tried to step forward, but Arthur held her tight.
23:23She looked at her daughter's desperate eyes, then at her husband's dark face,
23:26and finally turned away in tears.
23:28Chloe stared at her parents in disbelief and screamed.
23:31It's you!
23:32You two are the villains!
23:33If you hadn't brought me back, I wouldn't have nightmares!
23:35Nothing has gone right since I came home!
23:38You're useless!
23:39You couldn't even keep your own child, making me suffer outside for years!
23:42Now that the family's ruined, you blame me?
23:45You're the one who destroyed the Carter family!
23:47Shut up!
23:47If you hadn't made up that apocalypse dream and tricked us into restructuring assets,
23:51the Carter family wouldn't be like this.
23:53I was blind to believe you.
23:55Chloe, mom loved you and gave you everything.
23:58How could you say that?
23:59You ruined this family!
24:00For a moment, cries, curses, and pleas mingled together inside the villa.
24:04When illusions shattered and self-interest revailed, the so-called bloodlines and kinship proved to be so fragile.
24:10Before leaving, the man took Chloe away to work off the debt.
24:13Later rumors said she was sent for psychological counseling because she kept muttering,
24:18hard times are coming.
24:20The once-glorious Carter villa was sealed shut.
24:22Arthur and Diana shivered in the cold wind.
24:25Besides their thin clothes, they only grabbed a few boxes of ready meals they thought were life-saving.
24:30The once-glamorous Mr. and Mrs. Carter couldn't even afford the cheapest apartment and had to huddle under a suburban
24:37bridge.
24:38Diana tried washing dishes at a restaurant, but she broke dozens in 30 minutes and got fired on the spot.
24:44This is not gonna work. You're gonna have to leave.
24:48Arthur tried to ask his old friends for help, but they either refused him or had security guards kick him
24:54out.
24:55Hunger was the cruelest punishment.
24:57They dug through trash for food and fought homeless people for half a moldy bun.
25:00Still, they refused to touch the ready-to-eat meals.
25:03Don't eat them! These are Chloe's hope for us!
25:06Diana clung to the boxes, like they were her last lifeline.
25:10When the special read comes, these will be precious supplies.
25:14Arthur's stomach problems worsened, and he often felt unwell.
25:18Once, he found half a bag of expired cookies, but she snatched them and threw them into the river.
25:25Don't eat dirty food! Save your appetite for good meals when hard times come!
25:30One rainy late autumn night, Arthur ran a high fever and curled up in a ball under the bridge.
25:35Diana held his cold body and laughed crazily.
25:41Soon, very soon, I dreamed of Chloe. She said hard times come tomorrow.
25:48The next morning, sanitation workers found they had both passed away unexpectedly.
25:52Arthur clutched a half-pack of spoiled sandwiches he'd snatched from a stray cat.
25:57Diana died in a protective pose, and the boxes under her still held perfectly packaged ready meals.
26:03The apocalypse they had waited for so long never came, but their own world ended first.
26:08If only they'd listened to me. It never would have come to this.
26:11Now, I've got my own things to take care of.
26:1440,000 years later, I stood at the observation platform of the new energy lab,
26:19watching the latest geothermal fusion device ignite successfully.
26:22Bright blue plasma ran steadily in the circular device, and the screen read,
26:27Energy output meets city-level supply standards.
26:30Mrs. Vail, this system can support basic energy needs for 50 million people, even in extreme weather.
26:37I nodded and stared at the man-made sun through the observation window.
26:41When I founded the Future Technology Research Institute three years ago,
26:45many people laughed at me for overthinking.
26:48But now, we not only mastered clean energy tech,
26:51but also built the first full ecological cycle city in the Arctic Circle.
26:55Would an apocalypse come?
26:57That question no longer bothered me.
26:59Instead of passively waiting for unknown tests,
27:02I'd actively create more possibilities for humanity.
27:08We grew drought-resistant crops in deserts,
27:11built ecological bases in deep seas,
27:13and even planned near-Earth orbit stations.
27:16When I left the lab,
27:17my assistant handed me the Charity Foundation's annual report.
27:22The ecological farms we built worldwide last year
27:25lifted 3 million people in dry regions out of famine.
27:29At the evening celebration banquet,
27:31celebrities from all fields raised their glasses.
27:35I stood by the floorling window,
27:37staring at the brightly lighted city in the distance.
27:40Once I thought hoarding supplies was the best way to face crisis.
27:44But now I know,
27:45real security comes from tech that advances civilization,
27:49kindness that improves lives,
27:50and living each day with a clear conscience.
27:53There are at least 17 similar cases in history.
27:56The earliest was the 3rd century B.C.
28:00The latest was 8 years ago.
28:028 years ago.
28:05I looked up and repeated.
28:08The banquet ended late at night.
28:10My assistant opened my car door,
28:12hesitating to speak.
28:16Mrs. Vail,
28:17there's something I don't know if I should say.
28:19Say it.
28:20Chloe was released today and regained her freedom.
28:23I didn't pause while fixing my cuffs.
28:25When she was sent to work,
28:26she soon became unstable,
28:28yelling,
28:29the apocalypse is coming at everyone.
28:31So she was sent to a psychological recovery center.
28:34The hospital says she was stable and harmless at the end of last year,
28:38so they released her.
28:39I nodded.
28:41Streetlights flew past like fireflies outside the window.
28:448 years.
28:46I'd almost forgotten the name.
28:48The car drove through the busiest downtown intersection.
28:52A huge screen played a public Furvis ad from my institute,
28:56a live feed of the Arctic Ecological City.
29:00Beneath the snow-white dome was lush greenery,
29:03and kids played soccer on the indoor lawn.
29:06I told my assistant to turn to the suburban warehouse.
29:10The warehouse looked the same as before.
29:12The lock had been replaced three times.
29:15Now it used face and iris recognition.
29:18Two-thirds of the space was empty.
29:21Only the eight-year-old ready meals left in the corner.
29:24The canned goods inside the box had a shelf life of five years,
29:28but they had already been expired for three.
29:31I casually picked up one of the cans.
29:34Its seal was slightly bulging.
29:36I had no idea what irreversible chemical changes had happened inside.
29:40I only knew the Carter couple had guarded them until death.
29:44They thought it was safety.
29:46It was just three-year expired junk.
29:51I put the box back where I found it and turned to leave.
29:55The next morning, Jake Braw knew news.
29:58The deep space detection department of my institute
30:01found abnormal data while sampling near-Earth asteroids.
30:07The spectral signature doesn't match any known mineral.
30:11What is this?
30:12Another human civilization?
30:14We asked Rhodes of astrophysics,
30:16and he said this shouldn't exist naturally.
30:20Rhodes said,
30:21Either this is his man-made,
30:24or our entire physics framework needs rewriting.
30:28We need to find a way to fix this.
30:29Go back and call a meeting first.
30:31We have to await it and see the through.
30:33And then have to talk this has ever und.
30:35I'm Selina Vale.
30:37The dream weaker who the fit future.
30:39We have to talk this through.
30:40Nothing like this has ever happened before.
30:42The room went quiet for a few seconds.
30:44Did you test the isotope age?
30:47We did.
30:48Jake pulled up another set of data.
30:50It formed about 40,000 years ago.
30:53No one spoke.
30:5440,000 years ago,
30:56Homo sapiens just left Africa and painted bison in caves.
31:00Keep this top secret for now.
31:02The project name is Flint.
31:03It'll be run independently by deep space detection,
31:06not connected to the group network.
31:08Jake nodded.
31:08I stayed alone in the meeting room.
31:11The hologram was off.
31:12And the city outside was still busy.
31:1440,000 years.
31:15I suddenly thought of Chloe's broken dreams.
31:20She said an apocalypse would come.
31:23Ice.
31:24Collapse.
31:24End of civilization.
31:26Was she wrong about the time?
31:28Or the truth?
31:29Or were her dreams not prophecies,
31:32but echoes?
31:34Faint echoes of a lost civilization
31:36buried deep in human subconscious.
31:39Her mind was too weak to handle the message,
31:41so she twisted it into fantasies of ice,
31:43snow, and safe living.
31:45The ones who should prepare
31:46weren't the Carter family hoarding supplies.
31:48It was people who could read the echoes
31:50and find answers.
31:51A week later,
31:52a small accident happened at the institute.
31:54A new assistant researcher suddenly fainted
31:56while filing documents.
31:57She woke up in the hospital
31:58and said she'd had a dream.
32:00I had a dream.
32:02The sky was full of fire.
32:04The ground cracked.
32:05And huge white fog rose from the sea.
32:09She said it wasn't a dream.
32:11It was a memory.
32:13I was reviewing the Flint project budget
32:15when I got the report.
32:16My finger stopped on the touchscreen.
32:19Bring her to my office.
32:22The researcher was Moore, 26, astrophysics major,
32:26just back from Princeton last year.
32:28She sat across from me, still pale.
32:30Mrs. Vail, I've checked the literature,
32:33were her first words.
32:34There are at least 17 similar cases in history.
32:38The earliest was the 3rd century BC.
32:41The latest was 8 years ago.
32:448 years ago.
32:46I looked up and repeated.
32:48Yes.
32:49She opened her tablet
32:50and pulled up an old news screenshot.
32:53The person was surnamed Carter,
32:56diagnosed with stress-related emotional disorder
32:59and extreme thoughts.
33:02Chloe's face was blurred on the screen.
33:04The headline read,
33:05Rich heiress believes crisis is coming,
33:08sells family property to hoard goods,
33:09becomes a joke.
33:11I pushed the tablet back.
33:13You don't think those are extreme thoughts?
33:15Moore bit her lip.
33:17The scenes in my dream are too specific.
33:19The direction of ground cracks,
33:21eruption frequency,
33:22special clouds from vaporized seawater,
33:24no amateur could make this up.
33:26My PhD topic at Princeton
33:28was planetary geological evolution.
33:31Mrs. Vail,
33:32I know what I learned and what I didn't.
33:34She looked at me with fear
33:36and almost religious curiosity.
33:38If these are extreme thoughts,
33:40why are they so accurate?
33:41Go back and rest.
33:43Temporarily transferred
33:44from the deep space exploration department
33:46to the theoretical physics group.
33:50Then I called Academis or Lord.
33:56You said the object from 40,000 years ago
33:59shouldn't exist naturally.
34:00I now want to know
34:01if it could be a relic of some civilization.
34:04Serena.
34:06Rhodes said my name,
34:07voice old and tired.
34:08If you're right,
34:11then the place we stand
34:13has never been just Earth.
34:15Three days later,
34:16the Flint project expanded.
34:18I allocated 3 billion yuan
34:20from the group's budget
34:21to assemble an interest in early team.
34:25Astrophysics,
34:25geology,
34:27geology,
34:27paleoanthropology,
34:29paleoanthropology,
34:29cognitive NUAC science.
34:30We needed to answer two questions.
34:33What happened 40,000 years ago?
34:36And will it happen again?
34:37If Chloe really received signals from the past,
34:41what about me?
34:43I began to suffer from frequent insomnia,
34:46not from fear,
34:48but a question hanging over me.
34:52My ability is to tell real dreams
34:54from illusions and subconscious ramblings.
34:58But what if some dreams aren't ramblings?
35:01They're fragments,
35:03echoes,
35:04last words from beings older than humanity.
35:07Then what exactly am I seeing through?
35:12A month later,
35:14Moore made a breakthrough.
35:16She used functional MRI
35:18to compare her own brain activity patterns
35:20patterns with those of 17 historical cases.
35:24She found the same area
35:26at the junction of the perinal and temporal lubes
35:29lit up identically in everyone while dreaming.
35:33That area isn't on standard human brain function maps.
35:37Rod said that brain region has no clear function
35:40in evolutionary biology.
35:42Will Moore's new academic findings prove
35:45the existence of the detected human civilization?
35:49Let's get everyone together in the office
35:51to discuss this.
35:53The long-term academic consensus.
35:55It's an evolutionary relic,
35:57like the appendix.
35:59Mrs. Vale,
36:00what does it mean if the appendix suddenly works?
36:02It means the body faces a problem
36:04the appendix was made to handle.
36:06The air in the meeting room almost froze.
36:08And deep in the human brain,
36:10we still retain the instinct to recognize it.
36:13Most people just forgot how to read it.
36:16We studied minerals from 40,000 years ago,
36:19and we examined the dreams of 17 people.
36:23All the evidence points in the same direction.
36:26Some kind of catastrophe once occurred.
36:29We're not sure what it was.
36:31Chloe read it but couldn't understand.
36:33Moore read it and was trying to decode it.
36:34What about me?
36:36I closed my eyes and tried to find strange fragments in my memory.
36:40Nothing.
36:40My dreams only had ordinary fragments.
36:43Floating classrooms.
36:44Endless hallways.
36:45Anxiety over not answering exam questions.
36:48No fire.
36:49No ice.
36:50No cracks splitting the earth.
36:52I'm a dream weaver.
36:53Not a dreamer.
36:54Maybe this is my gift.
36:56Not receiving signals,
36:57but telling truth from fake.
36:59Not listening to echoes,
37:00but understanding those who heard but understand.
37:03In mid-November,
37:04the deep space team made an even more shocking discovery.
37:07While sampling another near-Earth asteroid,
37:09they detected extremely weak abnormal radiative decay.
37:12Jake said this decay pattern could only be caused by one thing,
37:15energy irradiation.
37:16And close-range,
37:17high-dose energy irradiation.
37:18There's no energy force on the asteroid.
37:21So the irradiation happened before it entered Earth's orbit.
37:24I stared at the data report.
37:26You mean someone conducted high-energy experiments in space 40,000 years ago?
37:30Jake didn't answer.
37:32He didn't need to.
37:33In early December,
37:35Moore had another dream.
37:36She cried bitterly when she woke up.
37:39She said it was different this time.
37:42There was a voice.
37:44I asked her what the voice said.
37:46She shook her head.
37:47I can't understand it.
37:49It's not any known language.
37:52But I know it's begging for help and warning us.
37:55The help call is for its own kind.
37:58The warning is for us.
37:59She looked up with a tear-streaked face.
38:02Mrs. Vail,
38:03how much time do we have?
38:05I couldn't answer.
38:06The Flint project entered phase two.
38:09We shifted from did it happen
38:11to will it happen again.
38:14For this,
38:15I needed more data,
38:16more samples,
38:18more people who could dream those scenes.
38:20But I couldn't recruit publicly,
38:23send surveys,
38:24or leave traces online.
38:26That would cause uncontrollable panic.
38:28I found Dr. Hale,
38:30who treated Chloe.
38:31She had retired for years
38:32and lived in a suburban nursing home.
38:35After hearing why I came,
38:37she was silent for a long time.
38:39That girl was the most confusing case in my career.
38:42He finally spoke.
38:43The details in her dreams
38:45were too rich to be extreme thoughts.
38:47But she couldn't explain
38:48where the details came from.
38:50She had no higher education
38:52in related fields.
38:54Dot.
38:54In the end,
38:56I had to write stress disorder
38:58with extreme tendencies.
39:00I stared at the withered lawn outside.
39:03Did you believe her?
39:05I worked for forty years
39:06and saw thousands
39:07emotionally unstable people.
39:09Their thoughts usually
39:10center on themselves.
39:11Someone percutes me.
39:13Someone loves me.
39:14I'm a god.
39:15I'm a sinner.
39:15But Chloe was different.
39:17Her thoughts didn't center on herself.
39:19She said the world
39:20would face a test,
39:21not just her suffering.
39:23She hoarded supplies
39:24not for herself
39:25but for her family
39:26and everyone she knew.
39:28He simply pulled
39:28a yellowed notebook
39:29from a drawer,
39:30flipped to a certain page
39:32and handed it to me.
39:33This is the record I took.
39:35When I asked her
39:36about the dream details,
39:38it might help you.
39:40The notebook
39:41was filled with writing,
39:43recording every murmur
39:44from Chloe's
39:45early unstable days.
39:48The date
39:49was December,
39:50eight years ago.
39:52I read word by word.
39:54When I reached
39:54the last page,
39:55my finger stopped.
39:57There was only one line.
39:58The ink was faint,
40:00like the pen ran out halfway,
40:01or like the writer
40:02wasn't sure she heard right.
40:04She said,
40:05my sister can see.
