"Senior..."

Gu Shen smiled helplessly and said, "Please don't make fun of me."

He knew very well that he was still far, far away from being a titled powerhouse.

Deep-sea link, extraordinary trial... In the Cage of Specters, Gu Shen didn't even have time to communicate much with Chu Ling before the dream ended.

He was now eager to link with Chu Ling to inquire about matters related to the deep-sea area.

"Xiao Gu, Han Dang's matter has been resolved." Senior Sister Luo suddenly said, "You don't have to worry about him targeting you in the future... I hypnotized him."

Gu Shen was stunned.

This scene seemed familiar... Han Dang probably never thought that he would be hypnotized one day, right?

No wonder his review went so smoothly. The review team called him out in the middle, seemingly to discuss a secret matter. It was very likely that Han Dang had submitted a report against him.

It's just that, according to rumors, these two are evenly matched opponents... Senior Sister's mental hypnosis of Han Dang, wouldn't it have come at a great cost?

Gu Shen looked intently. He felt that Senior Sister Luo's mental strength was as stable and profound as ever.

It was like a towering mountain that couldn't be seen to the top.

It didn't look like she had paid any price.

Gu Shen stopped guessing. This was not something he could figure out.

He earnestly said, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

"Why say these things? Since you call me Senior Sister, I will naturally protect you." Senior Sister Luo waved her hand. "What happened between you and Han Dang before is not important. I don't want to explore or know what 'trump cards' you have. But in the future, when you are alone outside, you may encounter many 'Han Dangs'. There are very few extraordinary individuals stronger than Han Dang, but there are many with vicious minds."

Luo Er paused and asked meaningfully, "Do you understand what I mean by these words?"

Gu Shen's expression became serious.

These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly sobering him up.

Of course he understood!

His confrontation with Han Dang in the orphanage... the reason why it was thrilling but not dangerous was because Han Dang did not intend to kill him.

If Han Dang was a madman, willing to pay any price to eliminate him in the dream... then he would already be a corpse.

He was now somewhat grateful.

Fortunately, Han Dang believed that he was just an ordinary person without extraordinary abilities.

"I... will remember it firmly."

Gu Shen kept his senior sister's advice in his heart.

"Most mental-type transcendents can use the art of 'hypnosis'. I can't guarantee that my hypnosis will be effective on Han Dang for a lifetime. Perhaps in the future, he will realize that his subconscious has been affected." Senior Sister Luo said lightly, "Of course, judging from Han Dang's talent, this process will take at least three to five years... Just treat it as me giving you a preventive shot in advance."

Hearing the first part, Gu Shen wiped his sweat.

Hearing the latter part, he smiled bitterly.

So, these two being evenly matched was just what he thought... Listening to Senior Sister's tone, they were far more than just a little bit apart.

"I will be leaving Qinghe tomorrow."

Senior Sister Luo said, "Not just me, Zhong Wei, Nan Jin... will all be leaving. Of course, you are no exception. Where is your next mission?"

"Mr. Cui hasn't said yet."

Gu Shen scratched his head. "He just said that a special plane will pick me up tomorrow and asked me to wait for news. It seems that someone has already arranged my mission, and I heard that it's quite simple... It shouldn't be a high-risk mission like containing out-of-control transcendents or searching for sealed objects."

"Hmm..."

Senior Sister Luo looked at the teacher with a profound gaze.

Zhou Jiren leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep with clumsy acting.

"It doesn't matter where you go." Luo Er said lightly, "People like us, after awakening transcendence, are destined to have more partings than gatherings... Xiao Gu, the important thing is to live."

"Living is the simplest, but also the most complex state. It's not just as simple as breathing and being able to open your eyes."

Gu Shen saw the clear pupils in his senior sister's eyes.

Every word seemed to become incredibly slow.

"Out-of-control transcendents are no different from the dead. In these past few years, I have seen many tragedies... Those who pursue power, lose their way in the journey of life, and can never return." Her voice was very soft, sounding somewhat sad, "So... for the sake of our next reunion, live well."

These words were somewhat familiar.

Gu Shen's thoughts became very slow at this moment.

["Living..."]

These were the words that Chu Ling had said to him.

He had never thought that such a simple word as living actually had a deeper, more complex interpretation...

Another voice pulled his thoughts back to reality.

"Ahem, Xiao Gu, come on! Let's have one!"

Zhong Wei opened a bottle of wine, tapped it heavily, and winked at Gu Shen: "Senior Sister's intentions are actually good... She just habitually thinks of things in the worst way. We are all very good and hardworking people, so of course we will live well, won't we?"

At the same moment.

He used his extraordinary ability to convey a few words to Gu Shen alone.

"Remember... I told you about the extraordinary event that caused Senior Sister's physical changes?"

"When entering the Tribunal... there was a guy with a similar personality to you. We were close friends, fought side by side, and talked about everything, but in an extraordinary event, he burned everything, and in the end, he couldn't suppress his transcendence, leading to his own loss of control. It was Luo Er who carried out the execution herself."

Gu Shen's heart skipped a beat when he heard these two sentences.

He suddenly understood... why Senior Sister would say such things to him.

After learning about this past event, thinking back to the past ten days of getting along.

The first time Senior Sister saw him, she warned him about the dangers of "transcendental loss of control" and taught him the best breathing technique to stabilize mental strength, "Jingzhe"... When his dream interpretation score of four hours had just appeared, she was also the first to comfort him, saying that the road was still long and he should take it slowly.

Gu Shen knew that these words were her sincere comfort.

But perhaps... there was also a shadow of her guilt about the past.

"Today is a day worth celebrating, why be so sad?"

Mr. Shu was no longer acting.

He yawned and slowly opened his eyes, "The deceased comrades who died in battle will not return, and it is their sacrifice that has brought us to this day... The Qing Tomb in Nagano has steles for them, we should always remember the pain and move forward, but don't stop in yesterday, the dead cannot be resurrected. Qi Ye would be proud of your achievements today, and I think he wouldn't want to see you immersed in sadness."

"Sorry..."

Senior Sister Luo covered her forehead with one hand, she chuckled softly, "I drank a little too much, so I inevitably thought of him... I just hope... he's still alive..."

"Alright."

Mr. Shu smiled and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "When parting, drink more wine, remember to laugh, and forget your worries. You have to believe... we will meet again, we will gather again."
