Chapter 108 Dream Interpretation

A black sedan drifted through the rainy night, stopping at a street corner.

Nan Jin glanced at her phone and said, "Shixiong and the others have obtained information about the assessment team... Gu Shen, the content of your assessment has been finalized. It's 'dream interpretation.'"

"Dream interpretation?"

Gu Shen was puzzled. "What's that?"

"Within the Tribunal, a large number of dreamscapes similar to [Jingzhe] are stored."

Nan Jin said, "Humans condense their mental power and concretize it, imprinting it on an object. Thus, that object gains the ability to cast dreams. Once someone reads it, they will fall into the dream. Dream interpretation refers to freeing yourself from the dream. Like how you comprehended Jingzhe, it took you four hours and thirty-nine minutes to complete the 'dream interpretation' of Jingzhe."

"Oh, oh, oh..."

Gu Shen suddenly understood and curiously asked, "Then these items... are they considered extraordinary sealed objects?"

"They are... and they aren't. It depends on the strength of the dream carried by the item. Some weaker ones only make ordinary people yawn, while stronger dream remnants can easily destroy a person's mind. Even mental-type transcendent beings find it difficult to resist." As Nan Jin explained, she narrowed her eyes, carefully observing the street outside. The parking spot was not far from Gu Shen's apartment. She was watching for suspicious individuals.

Han Dang had arrived in Dateng City sooner and earlier than she had.

Perhaps, he had already arrived in the vicinity.

"It seems the assessment team came prepared. Judging from your performance in comprehending Jingzhe, the assessment situation the day after tomorrow is not optimistic." She said softly, "Teacher has arrived in Dateng. He will come to see you later."

She opened the car door.

Nan Jin took out a key and skillfully led Gu Shen into the elevator across from the apartment. After going straight to the top floor, she swiped a card to open a room. Gu Shen was a little surprised, "Ah... This is your place? We live so close?"

"Mm."

Nan Jin was too lazy to pay attention, just casually responding. After entering the house, she went straight to the washroom. Because of the rain, her original clothes were wet, and her shirt was tightly clinging to her body, revealing her curves.

Bang!

After closing the door, Gu Shen saw a blurry and graceful figure projected through the dim light of the washroom. Shijie was taking off her shirt. He had noticed earlier that this white shirt was very tight, so taking it off seemed a bit difficult...

"Meow!"

The orange cat in his arms scratched him unhappily, and Gu Shen suddenly woke up, quickly turning his head away.

See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil.

Gu Shen kept chanting in his heart, awkwardly asking, "Shijie... Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate?"

The sound of rushing water stopped, and Nan Jin said faintly, "Before the assessment results are confirmed, your safety cannot be guaranteed. I must be in a position to monitor you at all times. If you accidentally lose control, I can take action immediately and at least leave you with a complete corpse."

Gu Shen: "???"

He accidentally asked something he shouldn't have.

Gu Shen carried the cat and quickly came to the balcony, opening the curtains, feeling greatly shocked.

It turned out that the location of this room was directly opposite his apartment, and it was also higher up, so the view could easily capture the movements of his room. With Nan Jin's keen eyesight, his room should be completely exposed.

So... when he was sunbathing on his balcony that day, Nan Jin was selecting a suitable residence?

Obviously.

This room was prepared to monitor him.

"Are you kidding me?" Gu Shen turned his head to look in the direction of the washroom, angrily saying, "Is there no human rights? From this angle... wouldn't I be seen completely naked when I shower?"

His voice stopped abruptly.

Nan Jin, who had finished washing up, came out. She was wrapped in a snow-white bath towel, holding her hair with both hands, a snow-white jade hairpin in her mouth. She glanced at Gu Shen faintly, "If you don't want to be seen, remember to draw the curtains next time."

The snow-white hairpin lifted up her red hair.

She went into the cloakroom on her own, her voice floating out from inside.

"Now this has become the best place to monitor Han Dang. If he wants to 'visit' you, he will be exposed in our sight. We just need to wait here."

Gu Shen immediately wilted.

He sighed and said, "You're right..."

Half an hour later, Nan Jin changed into a new outfit. She was no longer the intellectual and gentle older sister from before, but the familiar set of windbreaker and saber, full of imposingness. She was like a sharp blade ready to be drawn at any moment. After her fingers rested on the hilt, her entire being became sharp, making people afraid to look directly at her.

"Shijie, you look really..." Gu Shen thought for a moment, saw Nan Jin's cold glare, and quickly gave a thumbs up, seriously praising, "Really majestic and valiant."

"Teacher is coming soon."

Nan Jin gave a rare explanation, "Besides... Even without a mission, I don't usually wear casual clothes. Going to the orphanage with you today was an exception."

Perhaps it was because she had seen Gu Shen's file and felt a little soft-hearted.

In her opinion, this trip back to the orphanage was very important to Gu Shen.

She didn't want to mess things up.

And it wouldn't be appropriate to dress as Gu Shen's senior schoolmate in a battle suit with a saber.

"Okay, okay, I got it... Big Brother treats me well, Little Brother will definitely repay you handsomely in the future!"

Thinking of his experience during the day, Gu Shen still felt like he was dreaming. He not only brought a large sum of money, but also brought such a beautiful girl back to see his grandmother. Although she was his senior schoolmate, it was still very impressive!

It was just a little regrettable.

He didn't know where Chu Ling was.

If he took Chu Ling to see his grandmother next time, what would her reaction be?

As Gu Shen thought this, the orange cat's tail swept across his cheek.

He thought his thoughts had been detected again. He lowered his head and realized that the cat was lying lazily asleep in his arms. It must have been exhausted after running around all day.

Chu Ling had already disconnected.

The orange cat's throat emitted a low purring sound.

Gu Shen gently put the cat down. He thought for a long time and said softly, "Actually... if the assessment the day after tomorrow is 'dream interpretation,' perhaps my results will be good."

He confessed very seriously.

"I think I should be able to pass."

But Nan Jin couldn't understand where Gu Shen's confidence came from.

"Dream interpretation as an assessment... should be considered a blessing in disguise."

She glanced at the sleeping orange cat, lowered her voice, and said with a slightly troubled expression, "Compared to other aspects... your mental strength is indeed your forte. But you have no idea how difficult it is to achieve an 'S' rating in 'dream interpretation.' Judging from your previous dream interpretation time of nearly five hours for Jingzhe... it's almost impossible to deal with the assessment team's difficulties."

She glanced at her watch again.

It was past midnight.

In just one more day, it would be the assessment.

"Especially... since there is less than a day left, unless a miracle happens." Nan Jin sighed worriedly for someone. She looked at Gu Shen, watching the latter's calm and peaceful expression, feeling a bit disappointed that he was not more ambitious.

How could he not be worried at all?

She didn't understand.

"Actually, I only spent fifteen minutes interpreting Jingzhe..."

Gu Shen muttered softly in his heart.

This secret couldn't be spoken; it could only be hidden in his heart.

"But Teacher is a very magical person. He can always create all kinds of miracles." Nan Jin comforted Gu Shen, saying, "When he comes, he will definitely have a solution."

As soon as she finished speaking, a speeding car appeared at the end of the view outside the window, rushing through the rainy night, splashing countless droplets of water along the way. Then, with another clean drift and fishtail, it stopped neatly downstairs.

After getting out of the car, the old man in the Zhongshan suit immediately looked up, his eyes directly locking onto the room where Gu Shen was.

Mr. Shu revealed a spring breeze-like smile.

And for some reason, at the moment he saw him... Gu Shen could indeed feel something falling in his heart.

This feeling was called peace of mind.
