Chapter 30 Rabbit Doll

"Rabbit doll?"

Tang Qingquan frowned. He didn't understand why Gu Shen would suddenly ask about this.

"I saw a very important piece of information in Zhou Yexin's dream. There was a rabbit doll named 'Dora'... if I'm not mistaken, Zhou Yu died looking for Dora." Gu Shen said slowly, "Was this rabbit doll found at the scene?"

"No."

"In fact, the power of that explosion was enormous, and no clues were left at the scene… That's why the Tribunal's judgment concluded that the accident was not related to transcendents. As for the rabbit doll… you should also know that dreams are just reflections of the subconscious. Items that appear in dreams may not actually exist in reality."

The Grand Judge shook his head.

"Dora doesn't exist in the case files for this case, and neither does a rabbit doll."

He was a little confused. "And you said you saw this in Zhou Yexin's dream? After Zhou Yu died, we immediately dispatched specialists to hypnotize Zhou Yexin and read her dreams… but the end result was that her dreams were empty. We had hoped to get some information from her, but we gained nothing."

There it was again.

Hypnosis again...

The Tribunal's psychic-type transcendents had no results.

But he saw something different in Zhou Yexin's dream.

Gu Shen fell into thought. Was it because of the special nature of his Blazing Fire? Or was it that Zhou Yexin's pocket watch had blocked the secret from others, but opened its heart to him?

According to Tang Qingquan's description, when the explosion happened, the young Zhou Yexin was not even at the scene. But in the dream, he saw a girl holding a rabbit doll, standing alone at the edge of the burning villa, watching the people coming and going.

He wasn't sure what Dora and the rabbit doll meant.

But he was certain that every item in the dream… couldn't appear out of thin air. Everything has a cause and effect. If Zhou Yexin didn't know anything about the clues in this case, how could she have so firmly embarked on the path of seeking knowledge of dreams?

"Alright, let's get back to the Yandan Street fog incident…"

Cui Zhongcheng tapped the table.

"The fog samples from the old district have been tested and confirmed to contain transcendent elements that erode the mind… if this fog spreads, half of the old district will be affected. Based on the level of danger, this is enough to be classified as a B-level high-risk mission."

Cui Zhongcheng smiled at Gu Shen and said, "As expected of the Tribunal's 'S-level,' the hope of Eastern Continent… only a month after awakening his transcendent ability, he independently completed a B-level mission."

Gu Shen slowly shook his head and said seriously, "This mission was not completed by me alone… Hu Danian also contributed a lot."

He was very clear about it.

The so-called B-level mission danger level is only determined by the degree of harm… This fog is extremely lethal to ordinary people, but for transcendents, especially the "psychic-type" like himself, the damage is too slow and only weird.

As for the only obstacle in the mission.

Shi Li.

Most likely, he was also a bait thrown out by the owner of the compass, a chess piece arranged to give him the compass… If he couldn't even pass Shi Li's test and died on Yandan Street, he wouldn't be worthy to continue in the game of the Lord of Blood and Fire.

"Regardless… you saved many people."

"The only regret is that before the enactment of the Awakening Decree, those survivors in the old district will not know that there was a fog that was nipped in the bud, and that you were the hero who saved them."

After listening to Gu Shen's description of the owner of the compass, Cui Zhongcheng subconsciously used words like "hero" and "saved."

When he said this, he had a faint smile on his face. "Congratulations, Gu Shen, you have truly passed the Tribunal's S-level review mission."

Gu Shen was stunned.

"We have decided to grant you the title of 'Adjudicator'."

Cui Zhongcheng adjusted his monocle and said softly, "There are a total of three Adjudicators and eighteen Adjudicator Envoys in the capital. Given your special status… we will follow Zhou Jiren's suggestion and will not mobilize you to participate in missions that are not part of the Special Operations Team."

If he remembered correctly, after joining the Tribunal and passing the probationary period, he would become a Probationary Adjudicator Envoy.

Sister Luo told him that the tasks of a Probationary Adjudicator Envoy were probably… patrolling and dealing with a very small number of transcendent events. Unless he was extremely unlucky, he would basically not encounter transcendent events above D-level.

These transcendent events could be solved with the strength of the third layer of the Deep Sea.

The term of office varied from person to person, and Probationary Adjudicator Envoys could be promoted to full Adjudicator Envoys if there were no mistakes in principle.

He… was skipping the probationary period directly?

"Wait a minute… what is the Special Operations Team?" Gu Shen asked.

"The three pillars of the Eastern Continent Council's judicial system are the 'Tribunal,' the 'Prison,' and the 'Command Post'… Daily patrol tasks are assigned by the Deep Sea to the transcendents of each of the three institutions. But in the event of certain special emergencies, a 'Special Operations Team' will be established."

The Grand Judge explained, "Since they are arranged to solve special tasks, there will be no weaklings in the Special Operations Team. They are basically young elites from the three institutions who possess both strength and talent. Their initial assessment level upon joining the institution will not be lower than B-level."

Gu Shen suddenly had a bad feeling.

In the age of Deep Sea big data.

When he performs transcendent missions, does he have to listen to the Deep Sea's arrangements to assign teammates?

"Do I have to… obey the arrangements?"

Gu Shen had a headache and said, "If there is a special event, do I have to join… the so-called Special Operations Team?"

"You seem to like to work alone."

The Grand Judge glanced at Gu Shen and smiled, "In fact, every transcendent has their own style of performing missions… Some maverick geniuses don't like to team up, but letting you join the Special Operations Team to perform the next transcendent mission is Zhou Jiren's suggestion."

What is this old guy… up to?

He should know that he has the 'Rod of Truth' and it's not convenient to expose it.

"Don't worry, you're an S-level, so your teammates must be at least A-level. There are very few A-levels that can be found in the capital, and you probably won't encounter more than two tasks that would alarm you in a year."

Tang Qingquan said lightly, "Can't you tell? Zhou Jiren is trying to get you to focus on cultivation in the Tribunal… The review mission is over. From today onwards, you don't have to go to Mumei Listener anymore. There are cultivation grounds prepared for the transcendents of the three institutions in the basement of the Huazhi Building. After the S-level assessment is unlocked, the Deep Sea's restrictions on you will also be gradually lifted."

Is that what the old guy is planning?

Gu Shen was still a little doubtful.

Based on his understanding of Zhou Jiren… this proposal wouldn't be so simple.

But at the moment, this proposal was in line with his wishes.

…

…

"Little Gu, you're finally here, come and help~~"

Zhou Yexin carried a large basket of paper materials and walked out of the narrow staircase in a hurry, bumping into Gu Shen.

Gu Shen was slightly stunned.

He came to Mumei Listener to say goodbye.

But today, Mumei Listener didn't seem to be open for business. Several strong men in home clothes were coming and going, carrying sofas and office supplies. A medium-sized van was parked not far away.

"Are you… moving?" he asked subconsciously.

Zhou Yexin was covered in sweat, but she had a smile on her face. "Yes, yes, our business is getting better and better… we can move to a bigger place."

"A bigger place?"

"The new store is… there!"

Zhou Yexin put a large basket of materials in the carriage, stretched out her hand, and pointed spiritedly to the street in Lipu Street. She said with a beaming expression, "We don't have to squeeze into a small crack anymore. We have an independent storefront, a main room to receive guests, and several soundproofed compartments. I have also prepared a small independent office for you."

Gu Shen opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

He came to say goodbye to Sister Xin.

He looked at Grand Judge Tang, who was silently smoking a cigarette next to the lamppost on the side of the street. Didn't Mr. Tang tell Sister Xin that he was leaving Mumei Listener?

The whole relocation took about twenty minutes.

Finally, Gu Shen carefully placed the display screen in the corner of the carriage, making sure that there was nothing left in the small shop at No. 18 Lipu Street.

He finally spoke.

"Sister Xin… I'm here today to say goodbye."

This time, it was Zhou Yexin's turn to be stunned as she handed a wet wipe to Gu Shen to wipe his sweat.

Before Gu Shen could continue speaking.

She murmured with emotion, "The internship… is so fast. Mr. Tang told me that it would take about half a year."

Zhou Yexin also noticed Tang Qingquan, who was silently waiting in the distance.

She was really a little slow to realize that Little Gu was here to say goodbye to her. It must be difficult for him to say such words.

"Doctor Gu, don't feel embarrassed…"

She took a light breath and said seriously, "Congratulations, go to the next destination. You should go to a higher and farther place… I am sincerely happy for you."

Looking back at Gu Shen's time at Mumei Listener.

Zhou Yexin only felt incredible… The small clinic had undergone earth-shattering changes in the short time he had been there.

This is a young man with unlimited potential.

This is a young man who should stand at a higher place.

"But…"

Speaking of this, she smiled.

"I will always keep that office for you, and I have kept all those pennants. I also made a special work permit for you."

Zhou Yexin took out a badge.

Gu Shen, followed by two words: Doctor.

When he took the badge, the string in Gu Shen's heart was gently strummed.

Tang Qingquan told Zhou Yexin.

He was just an intern.

"In my heart, you are no longer an intern…"

Sister Xin smiled, "You are great, really great."
