"Clunk."

"Clunk."

The whole world was left with only this sound.

All the colors were gradually fading away... These colors were actually a reflection of Zhou Yexin's inner world, and the fading of the colors meant that the dream's owner's subjective consciousness had dissipated.

This dream of the broken pocket watch, regarding the past, contained effective information that probably ended here.

Gu Shen was finally able to move his "body" freely. He looked at his hands, his palms filled with blazing flames.

It was the power of the Blazing Fire that allowed him to immerse himself in this dream.

"So... I'm a little flame now?" Gu Shen scratched his head.

He looked at the villa that had been burned to ruins and murmured, "I only wanted to explore the origin of the 'pocket watch,' but I didn't expect to see such a terrifying dream..."

The scarlet fire that ignited the villa was definitely a disaster caused by extraordinary abilities... and of a very high sequence.

Red flames that incinerated everything.

Although it was also fire, it was different from his own Blazing Fire... This was an erosive fire with a strong offensive nature towards matter.

His own flame was more like a spiritual fire.

He stared at the scarlet flame for a moment and felt a tremor in his own "Blazing Fire." Across the ethereal dream, the transcendent source of the blood fire seemed to attract his own Blazing Fire?

"Rabbit doll... Father... Pocket watch..."

Gu Shen connected the useful clues in the dream.

The events in the dream may not be real. Perhaps Zhou Yexin never bought a rabbit doll in reality, but the metaphors of these objects were truly reflected in the dream. This required the dreamer to explore it himself.

"Why doesn't 'Dad' have a face?"

Gu Shen couldn't understand why the most important figure in this dream didn't even have a face.

"Is it because he was deprived of everything in the fire... All traces of his existence were erased." Gu Shen looked at the villa with some apprehension, where incomplete scarlet flames still wandered. "The father fulfilled his daughter's wish by repairing the broken doll. He did this using the 'pocket watch.' Is he also a transcendent?"

After watching this dream, Gu Shen no longer thought that this pocket watch was an insignificant sealed item.

It had withstood such a terrible firestorm.

The pocket watch was not destroyed... And in a sense, it saved the rabbit doll. Judging from the reality reflected in the dream, this pocket watch seemed to have the ability to reverse time when it was complete?

But now, the severely damaged pocket watch had its hands frozen, no longer ticking.

All that remained was a weak transcendent power, which should only be used to complete the auxiliary function of "mental hypnosis" to help ordinary people fall asleep quickly.

Gu Shen turned his head and looked at the faded, porcelain-white girl in the dream.

This dream was coming to an end.

"Her persistence all along has been to find the truth about the fire that year..." Gu Shen's eyes became complicated. Sister Xiaoxin, like himself, was an ordinary person who had experienced a transcendent event, but she was not as lucky as him. This transcendent event was accompanied by the departure of the most important loved one in her life.

Looking back at Zhou Yexin's file at this time.

Gu Shen suddenly felt a little sad. He finally understood why a girl could go to Zhongzhou at the age of eighteen and persist year after year under the gaze of everyone's incomprehension... The fire erased everything. If even she no longer insisted on pursuing the truth, then the man in the dream might truly die.

"This pocket watch contains some transcendent power, which is related to the dream." Gu Shen murmured, "This is the only relic left by her father... and the only clue about that scarlet fire..."

The surrounding light began to dim.

The scene gradually returned to reality.

At the end of the dream, Gu Shen erased the memories related to his Blazing Fire and added some hints to ensure that Zhou Yexin would not feel abnormal after waking up, so that life could return to its normal track.

He sat at the table and woke up from this dream. The mental power consumed by the Ruler of Truth had been replenished a lot, and now he could finally barely act normally.

He tidied up the cubicle, then slowly left, pretending that he had never been here.

Then he knocked on the door.

It took a while for a response.

"...Come in."

Sister Xiaoxin covered her forehead, her thoughts a little confused.

The knock woke her up.

The first thing she did after waking up was to check if the pocket watch inside her clothes was still there. This was a habit she had developed over the past ten years. The pocket watch was still there, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She tried hard to think, but her mind was still blank, so she murmured for help, "Xiao Gu... I... did I sleep for a long time?"

"Probably because you didn't sleep well last night. You said this afternoon that you wanted to rest for a while." Gu Shen said softly, "There was nothing to do this afternoon, so I didn't bother you."

Zhou Yexin smiled bitterly, "Is that so..."

She suddenly remembered the brocade banner she had come with, as well as the insomnia cases. These things that should have been surprising or amazing, for some reason, only left her with a sense of calm when they resurfaced in her mind.

This was the genius teenager that Mr. Tang Qingquan had strongly recommended, and he should be able to do these things.

"Dr. Xiao Gu, thank you for your hard work." Zhou Yexin said with guilt, "Actually, I have something to say to you. I don't quite understand why Mr. Tang arranged for you to intern here... You are so young and may be suitable for better places. There are many top universities in Dongzhou."

Gu Shen was stunned.

In fact, the suggestion he gave to Sister Xiaoxin was very gentle, probably to make her think that his treatment of the group insomnia case today was a reasonable thing.

But he didn't expect Sister Xiaoxin to say this to him after the hypnosis.

"Mr. Tang has funded me for many years... With your qualifications and talent, if you ask, he will definitely help you." Zhou Yexin said seriously, "Perhaps you should contact him."

"...Thank you."

Gu Shen smiled after being stunned, and quickly said, "This is a very good suggestion. I will contact him during this time."

Tang Qingquan... has funded Zhou Yexin for many years?

This Chief Judge of Yinghai District is indeed not simple. If he started funding Zhou Yexin when she went to Zhongzhou to study abroad, then there is reason to suspect that Tang Qingquan knew about the scarlet fire disaster.

By personally entering the dream, he felt the pain, despair, regret, and collapse of the girl in the dream.

The person who enters the dream is the person in the play.

After coming out of the dream, Gu Shen decided to help investigate as much as he could.

"If she is alone, she may not have any results even if she persists on this road for a long time..."

Gu Shen murmured in his heart, "This case is too old, and the investigation will be a very long thing. I may not be able to find out the final truth, but no matter what the result is, let's just help her along the way."

What's more, this investigation is also beneficial to him.

In the dream, when he looked at the blood fire from afar, he also had some feelings in his heart.

Gu Shen had a vague feeling in his heart.

Perhaps... if he swallowed that scarlet flame, his Light Blazing Fire would increase greatly?
