Light Barrier - Chapter 36: Miracle

On the rainy night, the black car drifted to a stop at a street corner.

Nan Jin glanced at her phone and said, “Senior Brother has obtained information from the assessment team. Gu Shen, your assessment topic has been decided. It’s Dream Decipher.”

“Dream Decipher?” Gu Shen was puzzled. “What is that?”

“There are many dreams similar to Jingzhe stored in the Adjudication Bureau,” Nan Jin explained. “Humans condense their mental power and engrave it onto certain items, and then these items possess the ability of Dream Induction. Once someone touches them, they will fall into a dream. Dream Decipher refers to freeing yourself from the dream on your own, just like how you comprehended Jingzhe. It took you four hours and thirty-nine minutes to complete the Dream Decipher of Jingzhe.”

“Is that so...” Gu Shen nodded in understanding and asked curiously, “Then, are those objects... transcendental sealed objects?”

“... Not really. It depends on the strength of the dream carried by the object. Some weaker ones can only make ordinary people yawn, while the remnants of strong dreams can easily crush a person’s mind, and even mental-type transcendents will find it difficult to resist them,” Nan Jin explained while narrowing her eyes and carefully observing the surroundings for any suspicious people. The parking spot was not far from Gu Shen’s apartment.

Han Dang had arrived in Oto City faster than them.

However, this man was extremely cautious and wouldn’t take action directly. Most likely, he was observing the surrounding environment.@@@@

“It seems the assessment team came prepared. Based on your performance in comprehending Jingzhe, the assessment the day after tomorrow doesn’t look optimistic,” she said softly. “Teacher has already arrived at Oto. He’s coming to see you later.”

Nan Jin opened the car door, took out a key, and led Gu Shen into the elevator across the street from his apartment with familiarity. After reaching the top floor, she swiped a card to open a door. Gu Shen was surprised. “Senior Sister... is this your place? We live so close?”

“Yes,” Nan Jin replied casually, not bothering to elaborate. After entering the apartment, she went straight to the bathroom. Due to the rain, her clothes were wet, and her shirt was clinging tightly to her body, revealing her curves.

Clang!

After closing the door, through the dim yellow light in the bathroom, Gu Shen saw a blurry and graceful figure. Nan Jin was taking off her shirt. He noticed earlier that this white shirt was really tight, so it seemed a bit difficult to take it off...

“Meow!” The orange cat in his arms scratched Gu Shen discontentedly. He immediately woke up and turned his head away.

See no evil, see no evil. Gu Shen silently chanted in his mind. Then he asked awkwardly, “Senior Sister... isn’t this inappropriate?”

“What’s inappropriate?”

The sound of dripping water stopped. Nan Jin said calmly, “Before the assessment results are confirmed, your safety can’t be guaranteed. I have to be in a position to monitor you at all times. If you accidentally lose control, I need to be ready to take action immediately and leave your corpse intact.”

Gu Shen: “???”

He accidentally uncovered something incredible.

Chu Ling had already disconnected.

The orange cat let out a low purring sound from its throat.

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 Decipher, my results may be quite good.”

He was very honest about it. “I think I should be able to pass.”

But Nan Jin couldn’t understand where Gu Shen’s confidence came from. “As the assessment, Dream Decipher should be considered a blessing amidst misfortune.”

She glanced at the sleeping orange cat, lowered her voice, and said with a hint of headache, “Compared to other aspects, your mental power is indeed your strong point. But you have no idea how difficult it is to achieve an S-grade evaluation in Dream Decipher. Based on the nearly five hours you spent in Jingzhe, it’s almost impossible to deal with the challenge posed by the assessment team.”

She glanced at her watch.

It was already past midnight.

Just one more day until the assessment.

“Especially since there’s less than a day left... Unless a miracle happens...” Nan Jin sighed anxiously for someone. She looked at Gu Shen and saw his calm expression. She felt frustrated by his failure to meet her expectations.

How could he be so worry-free?

She didn’t understand.

Actually, it only took me fifteen minutes to decipher the Jingzhe Dream, Gu Shen murmured inwardly.

“But Teacher is a very magical person. He always manages to create miracles.” Nan Jin comforted Gu Shen. “Once he arrives, he will surely have a solution.”

Just as she finished speaking...

Outside the window, at the end of their sight, a speeding car appeared. It raced through the rainy night, splashing countless droplets of water along the way. Then it drifted, swerved its tail, and stopped neatly downstairs.

The old man in a tunic suit got out of the car and immediately looked up, locking his gaze on the apartment where Gu Shen was.

Mr. Tree revealed a warm and gentle smile.

And for some reason, the moment Gu Shen saw him... he could unmistakably feel something settling in his heart.

This feeling was called reassurance.
