Chapter 18: Sleepwalking Hall(1/2)
The story is curious because of its mystery.
It is said by word of mouth that teachers and students in Yuanzheng all know the origin of the Public Administration River, but there are many people saying the reasons for falling from the water, but there is no unified answer yet.
What is more common is that those girls are unable to think about it because of their love, and nostalgia for the real world. Some people say they are in trouble, especially in March when the spring rain is smooth. In addition, there are conspiracy, grades, victims, depression, etc.
However, all the speculations failed to explain: Where did the girl's body go?
When Chen Mu and the others arrived by the river, the bridge railings became full of people. The police pulled out a cordon, and a salvage boat was dashing in the river.
"Chen Mu, you can."
Chen Mu looked at him and saw a slightly fat boy pulling out of the wall. He was his classmate and class monitor, Lin Kun.
"Are you still in school?"
"I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination."
Lin Kun responded casually, and hugged his eyes to Chen Mu's ears: "Where is the rich daughter who I found? How could I get astronomical numbers if I change my body like this? How can you get married after graduation?"
Although Lin Kun was very quiet, he did not mean to prevent being eavesdropped, and Li Luo could hear it clearly. She wanted to explain that she was born with a body, but she smiled and gave up.
The girl's indifference Chen Mu had long been knowledgeable and didn't want to delve into these boring things. He changed the subject after speaking.
"You came early, tell me what's going on?"
"I've just arrived not long ago, but the situation is similar to before. A girl from the public administration was cheated of money and sex, and jumped into the river in anger."
"The body has not been found yet?"
"At that time, two boys went to the water to rescue, and it seemed that they could not be found."
Chen Mu also had this idea, but Li Luo, who had encountered such a thing for the first time, was full of doubts and unconsciously approached the bridge railing to observe.
"Did you see something?"
"It feels strange, and I have an inexplicable palpitations."
Chen Mu was stunned and subconsciously used his mental power to check, then closed his eyes and a white light exploded in his mind.
“Sure enough, there is a problem.”
Chen Mu was shocked and quickly retracted his mental power, opened his eyes and looked at the water surface, which was different from what he had seen before.
The rippling river surface reflects the rays of the sky, and there is clearly a beautiful fairy palace hidden in it. Chen Mu looked carefully. A fairy covered in colorful clouds was flying towards him, stopping under the river surface and smiling at him affectionately.
Chen Mu was surprised that the fairy's face was exactly the same as Li Luo's. The difference was that her face was full of charm and her eyes were full of charm. She had an extremely holy figure, but every move was fascinating.
"don't want!"
A clear shout pulled Chen Musixu back. He turned to look, and his heart suddenly became sank: Li Luo closed his eyes and frown, his cheeks were tight and painful, like a little girl having a nightmare, looking very pitiful.
Knowing that the situation was wrong, Chen Mu didn't think much and used his mental power to investigate, and his mood was even heavier at the moment.
Li Luo's mental power was several times stronger than him, but at this moment, all the riots were in the sea of consciousness, and it was obvious that this was a sign of mental disorder.
Dream interpreters rarely have this kind of problem. If they appear, they must find a higher level dream interpreter to cure it. But now the situation is urgent, and every second delay will deepen the danger. Gripping their teeth, Chen Mu planned to try treatment on the spot.
In order not to see the abnormality, he stretched out his hand around Li Luo's waist, and Yingying Rouru almost made him lose his spirit. Others seemed to him, just a couple who were snuggling each other and enjoying the scenery romantically.
The mentally out of control of the sea of consciousness was not prepared at all. Chen Mu easily entered and suddenly felt a familiar breath deep in the sea of consciousness. He was alert and prepared to approach. He sneaked away, and his mind suddenly stinged, and his mental power was forced to withdraw.
"I'm fine, you can let it go."
The whispering sound in his ear made Chen Mu, who was instinctively let go of his arms surrounding Li Luo. After a long time, he finally woke up and hurriedly looked at the girl beside him. He saw a timid shy hiding in a light layer of blemish, so he became conscious again.
Li Luo bit her lips and said nothing, secretly annoyed Chen Mu's rude behavior: What is the difference between breaking into a girl's sea of consciousness and stripping naked people's clothes? And the secret she had hidden for many years, and was almost known by the second person.
However, she also knew that the other party was out of kindness, so she had to endure the unhappiness.
"It's really strange. There seems to be a constant dream world in this river, and the level is very high, and the mechanism is the same weather conditions. The students who jumped into the river before should be disturbed by the dream force that was opened for a moment, and entered the dream world without the control of the consciousness."
"Ah? Is that?"
Chen Mu calmed down at this time. He didn't hear the other party's words clearly, and he said in confusion: "It can actually make dream interpreters have hallucinations. I have never heard of this dream world. Dream power and mental power should not be incompatible."
"This is exactly what makes me strange, unless this dream master is a legendary fellow practitioner of Yuanjie."
Speaking of this, Li Luo quietly glanced at Chen Mu, his nervous eyes as if he was afraid that Chen Mu had guessed something.
Chen Mu roughly knew the reason, after all, he was also confused by fantasy. He couldn't help but think that it was also an amazing charm to make such a girl panic. However, the other party's topic was what he paid the most attention to.
"Only your theory can explain this situation. I felt the sting of mental power before and then hallucinations appeared. It is very likely that I was suppressed by the other party's mental power and then let the dream power interfere with it."
"Hey! I'm talking about you two, why do you just say something I can't understand?"
Lin Kun, who was confused next to him, finally couldn't help interrupting and looked at Chen Mu without squinting, saying, "Chen Hao made an appointment to go to the sleepwalking hall tomorrow. Have you told you?"
"Sayed."
"Take your brother and sister with you, don't be alone every time. We three can't bear to torture you."
"We will definitely arrive tomorrow."
Chen Mu looked at Li Luo in surprise. He wanted to tell his roommate that he would have a female companion in his thirties, but Li Luo agreed casually.
"Then I'll just say that. I'll see you at the sleepwalking hall at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. I won't bother you. Brother and sister, my brother's emotional intelligence is a bit creepy. You can take it more."
Waving his hand, Lin Kun left gracefully, but turned around and immediately called his girlfriend to make an appointment at the old location.
"Aren't you afraid of misunderstandings?"
"It's okay. I won't be able to leave Mengdu soon. I don't know how many years I will come back. Before leaving, I will experience the feeling of a sleepwalking hall. I've grown up so old that I haven't been there yet."
Chen Mu shrugged, and he could hear the other party's indifferent tone. But for some reason, he felt like he was being targeted.
"We can't help with the situation here. I have to go to the library to return books, so I'll take a step first."
"See you tomorrow."
Li Luo smiled and said goodbye, with a deep meaning in his eyes.
——No one knows that when Li Luo wrote his doctoral thesis, he found that if the dream interpreter wakes up his dream power, he can be forced to fall into a dream.
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Chen Mu took a few unpopular books with satisfaction and returned to the Dream Interpretation House. He saw the lights open from afar. He walked up to push the door, but it was indeed not locked.
"Boss, you're back."
Only then did Chen Mu see that not only Jiangnan had not left, but there was another woman in black leather outfit in the living room.
"You are Chen Mu?"
Before Chen Mu spoke, the woman stood up and said something, with a sharp gaze on his head.
"I am, I don't know what can serve you?"
"I am Zhang Han from the law enforcement team of the Mengdu Branch of the Non-Natural Phenomenon Administration. You reported the Hushan Wharf trafficking. Human Resources Incident, right?"
Chen Mu looked at the ID presented by the other party and went back, reached out to invite the other party to sit down and said, "I called with my ID card, there is nothing to hide."
"Your assistant said before, there is still a video?"
Chen Mu subconsciously glanced at Jiangnan and guessed what secrets she had exposed.
"It was originally there, but I deleted it after sending it to the police station."
“No backup?”
"The police officer was joking. What did I keep the hot potatoes, so why do I keep them as a civilian?"
"Okay, if we capture Wang Nian, would you be willing to testify?"
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat. What did this unrestrained assistant tell others?
"I remember there are night watchmen near the dock, and there are surveillance monitors?"
"If there is any other evidence, I won't come to my house."
"I'm so sorry. I can't produce other evidence. I'm so careless and my words don't do much, and I'll just get into unnecessary trouble."
"I will protect you."
"The other party is obviously a big gang. I don't know anything about the background I have in secret. They are all outlaws. I dare not take such risks."
Zhang Han was slightly angry, but he didn't expect that the enthusiastic and proactive assistant would have such a boss who was indifferent to the situation. He immediately issued the law and said: "It is the responsibility of every citizen of the empire to maintain social stability."
"I understand, but I am just a law-abiding and law-abiding citizen. Each income is divided into part and handed over to the state. This is my greatest burden. Maintaining social stability should be done by those who enjoy this income."
Zhang Han is generous: "Do you know that your thinking is selfish?"
Chen Mu sneered: "Too many people enjoy the public rights and resources of the empire but do nothing, and I am one of the exploited masses. Do you want me to be a weak person who is always exploited to consider the blood-sucking ruling class? Is this possible?"
"You are simply unreasonable, your mind is extremely corrupt, and I'm too lazy to waste time with you."
Zhang Han was so angry that he slammed the door and left. Jiang Nan was stunned. It was not until Zhang Han disappeared in the dark that she turned around and found Chen Mu's expression of laughter and crying.
"Boss, you didn't mean to get angry with her?"
"Of course it was intentional, I'm very patriotic."
Jiang Nan pouted and shook his head to express his doubts. Chen Mu didn't mind, but instead taught a lesson: "Learn some lessons, how do you know if she was sent by the enemy to test the information?"
Jiang Nan's eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Yes! She must be here to ask for the video."
"I'm sure this, absolutely not."
