"If my memory of the dice's rotation trajectory is correct... it should be restored now."

In the Azure Dice dreamscape.

Gu Shen looked at himself in the mirror… Following the trajectory in his memory, he had completed the restoration of the dice, but what was reflected in the mirror at this moment was an incomplete body, with broken legs and arms.

He couldn't quite understand the situation.

After restoring the Rubik's Cube, the dream interpretation should have been completed.

But now…

Clearly, something had gone wrong.

Gu Shen wasn't affected by the tearing pain in the dreamscape, his thoughts were unusually clear.

He replayed the process, searching for the error.

The images of the Rubik's Cube dice twisting and splashing were slowed down in his memory, and slowed down again—

"No… I didn't make a mistake… the restoration trajectory is correct."

Gu Shen suddenly understood the reason.

"I was misled by the scrambling of the Rubik's Cube…"

"This dice, although appearing to be restored, has had its internal space scrambled long ago."

The appearance had deceived him.

Once he understood this, the rest of the dream interpretation wasn't too difficult, the only difficulty was bearing the pain of twisting with his mental strength.

"To truly restore this dice… requires a lot of work. I need to first find the basic plane."

The real basic plane was with his torso as a cube.

The twisting mirror, restored according to the trajectory, wasn't a complete waste… Gu Shen recalled in his mind, returning the original torso piece by piece… He began to piece together the Rubik's Cube dice once again.

…

…

"Ka-cha."

After five minutes of silence, the azure dice rotated once more in the young man's palm.

At this point, the expressions of everyone in the review team became strange.

The dismantling speed of the Azure Dice dreamscape was too fast, making this dream interpretation seem… simple.

The Rubik's Cube dice continued to rotate, occasionally stopping for a moment, but quickly continuing towards the correct restoration trajectory.

But in fact… each rotation required the consumption of mental strength, and dream entrants could easily lose their way, and one mistake would lead to even bigger and more mistakes…

But Gu Shen's dream interpretation was different.

Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!

Pleasing to the eye, and astonishing.

Seeing this, Chief Judge Hong Shan no longer had any doubts in his eyes, he knew what the Rubik's Cube's rotation meant at this moment…

Gu Shen had found the correct solution to the "Azure Dice" dreamscape.

The rest of the dream interpretation was just a matter of time.

This young man's speed in solving puzzles was too fast. He had originally thought that Gu Shen might need one to two hours, or even longer, to dismantle the essence of the dice.

But he didn't expect… it only took five short minutes.

In the past, there had been many proud and arrogant mental ability geniuses who wanted to try to dismantle the "Azure Dice" dreamscape, but most dream entrants needed several hours just to awaken their mental consciousness.

No one had ever been able to wake up so quickly… to make decisions so calmly, like Gu Shen.

This young man's mental ability talent could definitely be called one in ten thousand! At least the talent he showed in "dream interpretation" was far beyond that of ordinary geniuses!

His mental strength was weak, but his willpower was strong, and his observation was sharp enough, and his mind was calm enough.

"S-grade, definitely S-grade."

Chief Judge Hong Shan couldn't wait to give his evaluation.

The more he looked at Gu Shen, the more he liked him, his eyes were full of unconcealable appreciation. No wonder the old fellow Zhou Jiren shamelessly begged the council for a special pardon; this was a guaranteed profit!

If this little guy had been born in the Hongshan District, he would have had to fight to bring Gu Shen under his wing.

"If the 'Azure Dice' can be solved within 4 hours, it's enough to get an S-grade rating. Only 35 minutes have passed from the beginning to now…" He laughed loudly, "It's two hours ahead of the fastest record. What a monstrous newcomer… we have witnessed an incredible miracle!"

Grand Justice Tang Qingquan crossed his hands, staring intently at Gu Shen, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly someone asked, "Once Gu Shen completes the dream interpretation, will this review be considered complete?"

The review team fell silent at once.

Yes… according to the original rules, it should be… Three nightmare-level dream seal items, completing any one of them, would be considered passing the review.

"I hope the review can continue."

The Grand Justice spoke softly.

All eyes converged on him… In this review team, his status was slightly higher than the others, and most importantly, he directly conveyed the opinions of Zhao Xilai from the Dadu District.

"Is this also what Old Zhao meant?" Chief Judge Hong Shan frowned.

"No… this is what I mean."

Tang Qingquan said leisurely, "Since Gu Shen has demonstrated such high talent… we might as well see his limit. Compared to solving your Azure Dice in an hour, continuously solving three nightmare seal items is even more of a miracle, isn't it? We always need to know his upper limit, and we also need to confirm… that dream interpretation isn't just luck for him."

"I object!" The Chief Judge looked displeased and said, "Continuously dismantling three nightmares consumes a lot of mental strength, and even if this isn't our disciple, we shouldn't treat him like this!"

The Grand Justice hummed softly, but only as a polite agreement.

He said calmly, "Since someone is against it… then let's have a show of hands. The other three, please raise your hands if you advocate ending the review early."

Chief Judge Hong Shan frowned and looked around.

No one raised their hand, no one agreed.

"Four to one." The Grand Justice looked at Chief Judge Hong Shan and said faintly, "The minority submits to the majority, so… it's decided, the review continues."

…

…

Only the last step remained.

Gu Shen's whole body had been restored, only his head was turned upside down 180 degrees. He only needed to twist his head to complete the final dream interpretation.

He wasn't in a hurry to complete the final step.

Instead, he spoke softly, uttering the name in his heart.

"Chu Ling."

In the dark dice dreamscape, the mirror refracted, allowing no second person. After the heartfelt words were spoken, Gu Shen waited quietly for a while.

The dice dreamscape was silent.

There was no response.

He smiled self-deprecatingly. The reason he called out to Chu Ling was actually out of a fluke.

She had said… as long as he needed it, he could establish a \[Mental Link] with her at any time!

It seemed that Chu Ling hadn't heard him this time.

Just as Gu Shen was about to twist his head and leave the dreamscape—

A ripple suddenly splashed on the dark mirror in front of him, and a series of black garbled characters covered the mirror, and finally a flawless white girl appeared in the mirror world.

"I've been here all along."

Chu Ling put her hands behind her back and said softly with a smile, "This is your test… so I thought it would be better not to disturb you. I wanted to appear just when you were one step away, but you didn't call me."

Seeing Chu Ling's face, the stone hanging in Gu Shen's heart suddenly fell to the ground.

He smiled with relief, "You've been here all along…"

The dream interpretation of the dice space was about to be completed. Looking back on the whole process, it was indeed a nightmare, but thinking that Chu Ling was actually silently accompanying him… this nightmare didn't seem so unbearable.

"Your dream interpretation speed is very fast." Chu Ling smiled and said, "Even I am surprised. I didn't expect you to have such a high talent in this area. The guys outside are already dumbfounded."

"Ah ha…"

Gu Shen also smiled. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch his head, but his whole body was reversed, and it felt very strange.

He took a deep breath and held his breath: "There are still two more reviews next…"

Two more nightmares.

He had a hunch that the biggest problem was his current mental strength.

Dream interpretation requires a lot of mental strength.

In the dice space, every twist of the mirror was a consumption.

He wondered if he could withstand the next two dream interpretations…

The girl in the mirror showed a look of heartache when she saw Gu Shen's tired face.

Gu Shen could tell that she seemed to have something to say.

"Actually… you have already completed this review." Chu Ling said softly, "The original review only required completing the dream interpretation of one dream seal item."

"The original… review?" Gu Shen was stunned.

"Someone changed the rules." Chu Ling's voice was very low, "Because you solved the dream too quickly… they want to see if you can complete three dream interpretations in a row."

"With your mental strength, it shouldn't be a problem to complete three… but after it's over, your mental strength will inevitably be overdrawn."

Hearing this, Gu Shen understood roughly.

He had vaguely sensed something was wrong since the Grand Justice's urging… Although he had some psychological preparation for the difficulty of the seal item in advance, he didn't expect it to consume so much mental strength.

If he was kept in the dark and continued for three consecutive rounds, he estimated that he would have to lie in bed for ten and a half days to recover.

"In other words… I have already met the review criteria?" Gu Shen frowned and said, "Someone in the review team deliberately changed the rules and lengthened the process?"

"Yes."

Chu Ling said softly, "That person is Tang Qingquan, the Grand Justice of Yinghai District. He seems to have some opinions about you. We can't resist the modification of the review rules… we can only accept it."

Without Chu Ling saying it, Gu Shen could probably guess.

The Grand Justice's attitude towards him was indeed different from the other review team members. He felt it as soon as he entered the venue.

"It's not necessarily impossible to give up now. Zhou Jiren knows the rules, and he will fight for the corresponding rights for you." Chu Ling gave a suggestion, "It's just… the process of fighting for rights will be more bumpy."

"Give up…"

Gu Shen shook his head.

He looked at the girl in the mirror and said firmly, "Now that I've finally reached this point, how can I give up?"

He had suffered and sweated for this day.

"Then you are prepared… to continue?" A trace of worry appeared in Chu Ling's clear eyes.

"That's right. Of course, I have to continue."

Gu Shen suddenly smiled: "I originally thought this review was according to the rules… but since some people are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust."

The girl in the mirror reacted.

Then, she covered her mouth and giggled.

Chu Ling was really happy.

Because Gu Shen didn't say "I" just now.

But "we."
