There was indeed a pale corpse lying there. Its face was swollen, and its eyes were bulging.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, Shang Jianyao stood up in disappointment. “What a lack of creativity.”
He sat by the bed and nudged the female figure wrapped in a blanket. “Wake up, wake up!”
The female figure woke up in a daze and was shocked by the figure by the bed. “Ah!”
Amidst her screams, she suddenly sat up, hugged the blanket, and shrunk to the bedhead. “Who are you?”
Shang Jianyao energetically pointed at the corpse on the chandelier and said, “Have you forgotten? I’m the exorcist you hired.”
“Ghost!” The blurry female figure shouted for a while before asking in fear, ‘Il-is he still alive? Can he still move?”
Shang Jianyao smiled. “I’ve already suppressed him. We’ve known each other for many years and have become good friends. I won’t lie to you…”
The female figure clearly heaved a sigh of relief. In the dream, she couldn’t think clearly and couldn’t remember if she really knew such a person.
Shang Jianyao chatted with her until he was almost mentally exhausted before leaving the room.
Upon seeing him open his eyes and sit up as if in thought, Jiang Baimian asked in concern, “Any results?”
“No, I forgot to ask,” Shang Jianyao replied very frankly. “I suspect that I was hit by the room owner’s ability in the dream.”
“Why do you say that?” Jiang Baimian sat up as well.
Shang Jianyao recalled and said, “She should’ve activated her abilities when she let out the first ‘ah.’ I felt like I had become rather arrogant. I clearly had the chance to use Thought Guidance, but I had to weave a story and try to persuade her normally. In the end, I couldn’t dispel her vigilance.”
“It’s very normal to be affected in other people’s dreams,” Jiang Baimian evaluated truthfully, “However, this shouldn’t be a big problem because she’s almost unconscious in a dream. You can think, plan, and be sufficiently clear-headed.”
If this couldn’t settle the room owner, Jiang Baimian would suggest Shang Jianyao go to the Sea of Origins to see if he had split out a personality with lower intelligence than the rash Shang Jianyao.
“That makes sense!” Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and punched his left palm. He then stroked his chin and said, “Actually, being unconscious is even more dangerous. Perhaps she will simulate the dangerous things she had encountered in the past due to her agitation. Due to this, anything can happen in her dream. I’m really afraid of facing the Kalendarium.”
Jiang Baimian nodded. “My suggestion is to make a preemptive strike.
“Get some sleep to replenish your energy. Try again at dawn. She hasn’t slept for so long, so she definitely won’t wake up in less than half a day.”
Shang Jianyao followed suit.
After dawn, he went to Room 506 every 30 minutes, for a total of three times. Finally, he encountered the person dreaming again.
This time, the blurry female figure was standing in the Fourth Research Institute’s residential area, taking in the fresh morning air. There was nobody around.
Shang Jianyao immediately greeted, “Long time no see.”
“Long time no see.” The female figure was a little confused.
As Shang Jianyao approached, he smiled. “We’ve met many times…”
In the dream.
“We can be considered to have sufficient friendship…”
A unilateral relationship.
“I didn’t expect to meet you here again. Are you also from the Fourth Research Institute?”
At this point, Shang Jianyao completed Thought Guidance.
“That’s right…” The woman’s voice sounded a little ethereal.
Shang Jianyao looked around and took the initiative to say, “They seem to be dead.”
“Sigh.” The woman let out a long sigh.
Shang Jianyao then asked, “What do you think of the Kalendarium?”
The female figure was stunned. She looked around and suppressed her voice.
“Don’t tell anyone. ‘They’ are secretly eating people!”
