Light Fortress-Chapter 38 - 36 Miracle

38: Chapter 36: Miracle

38 -36: Miracle

The black sedan drifted through the rainy night and came to a stop at a street corner.

Nan Jin glanced at her cellphone and said, “The auditing group has informed us about the situation…

Gu Shen, your audit content has been confirmed as ‘Dream Interpretation.'”

“Dream Interpretation?”

Gu Shen was puzzled.

“What is that?”

“In the Judgement Institute, there are a large number of dream realms stored, similar to ‘Startling Hibernation.'”

Nan Jin explained, “Humans condense their spiritual power and imprint it in an embodied form onto an object, granting that object the ability to cast dreams.

Once someone reads it, they will fall into a dream realm.

Dream interpretation, therefore, refers to the act of detaching oneself from the dream realm on their own.

Just like the four hours and thirty-nine minutes it took for you to interpret ‘Startling Hibernation.'”

“Oh, oh, oh…”

Gu Shen suddenly understood and asked curiously, “Then, are these items…

considered Extraordinary Sealed Objects?”

“They are and they aren’t, it depends on the strength of the dream carried by the object.

Some are so weak they can only make a person yawn; however, a strong dream remnant can easily destroy a person’s spirit, and even a Spiritual Transcendent would struggle to resist.” As Nan Jin explained, she squinted her eyes and carefully observed the street outside.

The parking spot was not far from Gu Shen’s apartment, and she was watching for any suspicious individuals.

Han Dang had arrived in Da Teng City even faster and earlier than herself.

Perhaps, he had already reached the surrounding area.

“It looks like the auditing group has come prepared.

Based on your performance in understanding ‘Startling Hibernation,’ the situation for the day after tomorrow’s audit does not look optimistic.” She whispered, “The teacher has already arrived in Da Teng; he will come to see you later.”

She opened the car door.

Nan Jin took out a key and expertly led Gu Shen to the elevator across from his apartment, taking it directly to the top floor.

After that, she used a card to open a room.

Gu Shen was surprised, “Ah…

is this your place?

We live so close to each other?”

“Mhm.”

Nan Jin couldn’t be bothered to engage and gave a nonchalant response.

After entering the room, she headed straight for the washroom.

Her clothes, soaked from the rain, clung tightly to her body, revealing her curves.

Bang!

After closing the door, Gu Shen saw a vague, graceful silhouette projected by the dim light in the washroom.

His senior sister was taking off her shirt, which he had noticed was quite tight earlier, so it seemed a bit difficult for her to remove…

“Meow!”

The orange cat in his arms scratched him, and Gu Shen suddenly snapped back to reality, quickly turning his head away.

Do not view what you shouldn’t, do not view what you shouldn’t.

Gu Shen chanted to himself awkwardly and asked, “Senior sister…

isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”

“What’s inappropriate about it?”

The sound of water stopped, and Nan Jin said indifferently, “Until the audit results are certain, I can’t guarantee your safety.

I must be in a position to monitor you at all times.

If you lose control by accident, I can act immediately to ensure your corpse remains intact.”

Gu Shen: “???”

He had unintentionally touched upon a serious topic.

Holding the cat, Gu Shen hurriedly walked to the balcony, pulled back the curtains, and was taken aback.

The room was situated directly opposite his apartment and had a high vantage point, allowing a clear view into his own room.

With Nan Jin’s sharp vision, she probably had an unobstructed view.

So that meant…

when he was sunbathing on his balcony that day, was Nan Jin selecting an appropriate residence?

Clearly.

This room was prepared for surveillance.

“Are you kidding me?” Gu Shen turned his head towards the washroom, angrily saying, “What about my human rights?

From this angle…

wouldn’t you see everything even when I take a shower?”

His voice cut off.

After a quick rinse, Nan Jin came out wrapped in a white towel, her hands holding her hair, with a white jade hairpin in her mouth.

She glanced at Gu Shen and said, “If you don’t want to be seen, remember to draw the curtains next time.”

The white jade hairpin lifted her red hair.

She went into the wardrobe room on her own, her voice drifting out intermittently.

“This place now serves as the best location for surveilling Han Dang.

If he wants to ‘visit’ you, he will expose himself in our line of sight.

All we need to do is wait here.”

Gu Shen deflated on the spot.

He sighed and said, “You’re right…”

Half a quarter of an hour later, Nan Jin had changed into a different outfit, no longer the intellectual and gentle big sister from before, but the familiar trench coat and sword ensemble exuding a sharp presence.

She seemed like a blade ready to unsheathe at any moment, and when her fingers rested on the hilt of the sword, her entire aura became fierce and intimidating, rendering others unable to look directly at her.

“Sister, you look…,” Gu Shen began to say but hesitated, only to meet Nan Jin’s chilly gaze and quickly give a thumbs up as he earnestly praised, “truly majestic and impressive.”

“The teacher will be here soon.”

Nan Jin unusually offered an explanation, “Besides…

Even if there’s no mission, I usually don’t wear casual clothes.

Today’s visit to the welfare institute with you was an exception.”

Perhaps it was because she had seen Gu Shen’s file that she felt a bit softer.

For her, this return to the welfare institute was extremely important to Gu Shen.

She didn’t want to mess it up.

And dressing up as Gu Shen’s senior in combat gear and carrying a sword would have been too inappropriate.

“Alright, alright, I get it…

The elder brother has been kind to me, and I will surely repay him greatly in the future!”

Recalling the day’s events, Gu Shen still felt as if it had all been a dream.

Not only had he been given a hefty sum of money, but he had also brought back such a beautiful girl to see his grandma.

Even though she was his senior, it gave him quite a bit of face!

It was just a bit of a pity.

Chu Ling was nowhere to be found.

If next time, he brought Chu Ling to meet his grandma, what would her reaction be?

As Gu Shen pondered this, his cheek was brushed by the tail of the orange cat.

He thought his thoughts had been seen through again, but when he looked down, he noticed the goofy cat had already laid down in his arms, lazily asleep, probably exhausted from the entire day’s hustle.

Chu Ling had already disconnected the link.

The orange cat emitted deep purring sounds from its throat.

Gu Shen gently set the cat down and, after thinking for a long time, said softly, “Actually…

if the day after tomorrow’s evaluation involves ‘Dream Interpretation,’ I think I might do quite well.”

He confessed seriously.

“I believe I can pass.”

But Nan Jin couldn’t understand where Gu Shen’s confidence was coming from.

“Having ‘Dream Interpretation’ as an assessment…

should be considered a stroke of luck among misfortunes.”

She glanced at the sleeping orange cat, spoke in a hushed tone, and with a hint of a headache, she expressed her concern, “Compared to other areas…

your spiritual power indeed is a strong point.

But you have no idea how difficult it is to achieve an ‘S’ rating in ‘Dream Interpretation.’ Based on your last ‘Awakening of Insects’ Dream Interpretation that nearly took five hours… fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

facing the evaluation panel’s challenge is almost impossible.”

She glanced at her watch again.

It was past midnight.

Only one day was left before the evaluation.

“Especially since…

there’s less than a day left now, unless a miracle occurs,” Nan Jin sighed anxiously for someone, looking at Gu Shen, whose calm demeanor had a trace of naivety, feeling somewhat frustrated at his lack of concern.

How could he be so utterly unconcerned?

She didn’t understand.

“For the ‘Awakening of Insects’ Dream Interpretation, I actually only took fifteen minutes…”

Gu Shen murmured quietly to himself.

This secret could not be spoken aloud and had to be kept deep in his heart.

“But the teacher is a very miraculous person; he always manages to create various miracles,” Nan Jin consoled Gu Shen, “When he arrives, there will surely be a way.”

No sooner had she finished speaking,

when a sedan came speeding through the view outside the window, hurtling through the rainy night and spraying countless droplets of water, then made a clean drift and parked neatly downstairs.

The elderly man in a mandarin jacket got out of the car and looked up immediately, his gaze locking directly onto the room where Gu Shen was.

Mr.

Shu showed a smile warm as a spring breeze.

And for some reason, the moment Gu Shen saw him…

something in his heart genuinely fell into place.

That feeling was named reassurance.
