Chapter 109 Not Awake
The psychic who arrived late pushed open the door, walked into the room with his clothes casually thrown on and messy hair, and greeted everyone present with a cold face, which meant that the vision had finally come true.
No one cared about her inappropriate attire. They just swallowed nervously and held their hands in front of them, waiting for the next process.
Everyone formed a circle and waited quietly at a distance of half a meter. The person sleeping on the hospital bed was unaware and naturally had no idea that he had become the "mourned" protagonist in the scene, and was being stared at by several people.
Feeling an encouraging force from her back, Yun Paopao took a deep breath, clenched the bubble machine in her hand, took a few steps forward, aimed it at the woman on the bed, and began to use the "sweet dream" that made her most nervous today.
Gentle energy fluctuations emerged from her hands, rising like ripples on water and gradually condensing into a solid entity. Colorful bubbles emerged from the white body, with a texture as transparent as crystal. Under the light, it looked like a scene in a fairy tale, about to kiss the sleeping person.
The bubbles floated gently towards Xie Ning. At the same time, the psychic user raised his hand and exerted force. The same gentle energy turned into a thin stream of water, which softly seeped into his temple and came into contact with the outermost layer of the mental network, but was excluded as usual.
Just like a person holding a loudspeaker and launching a sonic attack, the psychic focused his mind and continuously instilled key words into Xie Ning's brain, affecting the activities of the mental network.
This went on for several minutes. Under the unyielding attack of the sound waves, the mental network seemed to be in sync for a moment, and then returned to its original state in an instant.
This is the initial success. The psychic withdrew his power and watched the next scene with his eyelids raised.
The bubbles melted into Xie Ning's face like water, seeping into her skin without a trace. Faint and crisp "pop" sounds were heard in the air, like the sound of bubbles bursting, making people unconsciously want to close their eyes.
This is our exciting combo!
Si Yu'an slapped his face hard to shake off the inexplicable sleepiness, and turned on the explanation mode in his mind to wake himself up.
What needs to be done has been accomplished, and once the seeds have been successfully planted, the only thing left to do is wait. The instruments beside the bed were operating calmly as usual, and no news was available at the moment.
After all, dreaming takes time, and constructing a dream after finding the sleeper's obsession is also a big project... Although the keywords have been transmitted, it is still unclear whether it will be a nightmare or a sweet dream. In short, numbers don't lie. Since the probability given by the superior is not low, just treat it as a good ending!
"What we need to do is done." Yun Paopao retracted her hand, a thin layer of sweat seeping out of the tip of her nose. She looked at President Ling Yun and said, "Then we just need to wait for the results. If it works, the equipment for detecting mental stability should react. Then please pay attention to Miss Xie Ning's expression."
The woman looked calm: "Thank you, we will keep an eye out and let you know when there is any news."
She showed no expectation and seemed to have been prepared for all the bad news before coming.
"Is there another one?" the psychic asked listlessly. She had yawned so many times that even her voice sounded sleepy. "Hurry up, I just want to go back to sleep."
"Don't worry, I'll be leaving soon." The officer replied with a smile. He nodded to President Ling Yun again, then took the initiative to open the door and made a gesture of invitation, "Come on, everyone, please come this way. I'll lead the way."
——
When we returned to Qi Heng's ward, everyone was quiet. With the experience from the first time, Yunpaopao did not hesitate this time. He stepped forward and aimed the bubble machine at the boy on the bed.
The boy breathed steadily and looked fine, as if he would wake up in the next second. Carefully tracing the other person's face, with the belief that "it will succeed", Yun Paopao bit her lip and activated her supernatural power.
A dreamy bubble appeared from the machine mouth, floated in front of the boy, and was about to penetrate into his body.
When psychic users exert their power at the right time, the energy easily enters the surface of the mental network, but is also blocked at the outermost edge and is not allowed to get closer. The mental network ignored the foreign visitor and just continued to breathe and maintain its original appearance.
The sonic attack came again, and key words that could be described as devilish sounds kept ringing in the outer layer of the mental network, trying to transmit the hint along the waves. As long as the mental network hesitated, it would win.
A minute passed. The psychic looked glum.
Three minutes passed. The psychic had a calm expression.
Five minutes passed. The psychic looked hesitant.
Ten minutes passed.
Everyone had strange looks on their faces. Bubble had already merged into the boy's body, leaving only Yun Bubble standing there in a daze, holding the bubble machine, staring blankly at the psychic who looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"No, what's wrong with this kid?"
The psychic cursed, stopped the useless energy output, and carefully observed Qi Heng's mental network that was as still as a mountain. The net still maintained an indifferent attitude, only breathing dutifully to show that it was still alive. Apart from that, it had no other reaction and did not take her, a high-level psychic, seriously at all.
She tried again for a minute, not believing it.
After being secretly threatened and increasing the intensity to no avail, the psychic finally believed the truth - the unknown boy in front of him had a mental network as strong as steel that did not allow any hints to enter.
Doesn’t this kid ever dream? ? ?
The psychic whose defense was broken put away his supernatural power and felt that he would probably not sleep well tonight. She turned around expressionlessly and looked at the silent crowd: "I can't give any hints. This kid has added anti-theft nets. He is very determined. He is a rare and good seedling."
"I'm sorry, but I can't do this job."
The officer's gaze lingered on Qi Heng thoughtfully.
The atmosphere in the room froze because of the conclusion drawn by the psychic, like a shaky rock finally rolling down the hillside and landing heavily on the ground with the heart.
Should I say that the superior's reminder reduced my psychological expectations? After hearing the result, I didn't feel much disappointment, but I just felt a heaviness in my chest.
And I felt like laughing for some strange reason.
Perhaps it was because the reason for the failure was too ridiculous. In a trance, I seemed to see that stubborn young man refusing the help with an expression that seemed calm but was actually stubborn. This inexplicable sense of familiarity and the frustration of failure combined together to form a strange bubble of emotions that made several people laugh and cry.
The psychic sensed the strange atmosphere in the room and was at a loss for what to do for a moment. She grabbed her hair in annoyance and said, "Don't be sad. I think this kid is a talented person. He will never stay in this bed for a long time. Who knows, if you are not paying attention one day, he might open his eyes and start to mumble."
"I think so." Lin Muyu suddenly laughed. He glanced at the silent officer and took over the responsibility of creating the atmosphere. "We have made all the preparations from the beginning. This is the result of our best efforts. Thank you for your hard work."
Someone answered, and the psychic heaved a sigh of relief. She waved her hand casually, ending the boring social conversation and going back to sleep: "It's not hard. What's so hard about it? After all, this is my responsibility. It's an eye-opener for me to see this mental network."
"Okay, now that I'm done, I'll leave. I'll contact you tomorrow if you have anything else."
After saying that, he immediately turned and walked out the door.
Suddenly, she heard a second sound of footsteps behind her. She turned around and found that her superior was following her very naturally, as if he wanted to leave with her.
It has nothing to do with her. The psychic didn't bother asking any more questions, so he turned around and continued walking.
The ward felt much emptier with two people missing.
Yun Paopao returned to the center of the team with his head down, and was patted on the shoulder by Ji Linfeng and Karint in a comforting manner. Qin You frowned and said nothing, crossing his arms and pursing his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.
On the contrary, the three main characters who were Zhen Qiheng's teammates felt inexplicably relaxed. They did not react much to the news of failure, but just smiled helplessly.
At this point, he also comforted the four people beside him: "It seems that Xiao Heng also does not agree with the cheating behavior of passing quickly. In this case, let him wake up and see us by himself."
"It's quite funny." Ye Yunhe pressed the corner of his lips, his eyes speechless, "This ending... is like hearing a hell joke told by Xiao Heng, very dark and cold."
"Anyway, don't worry about it, Paopao. You've done your best. Judging from Xiaoheng's sensitivity, he has probably sensed our wishes even in his sleep." Si Yu'an gently patted Yun Paopao's head.
"We've been exhausted all day, and we have to get up early to catch the bus tomorrow." Lin Muyu glanced at the clock and said to the four of them in a gentle voice, "It's time to go back to the dormitory and rest. If you have some free time, we can get together later."
"We'll get you to the car tomorrow morning."
…
The room was empty with only three people and one patient left.
After saying goodbye to Calint and the others temporarily, the protagonists sat quietly on both sides of the bed. The boy was sleeping obediently on the bed. Si Yu'an and Ye Yunhe each grabbed one of his hands and played with it. After a while, they held it tightly in their palms at the same time to transfer their body temperature.
They do this once a day.
The medical building has good sound insulation. When the door is closed, you can hardly hear any sound from outside. However, the windows are usually opened a crack for ventilation. The sounds of birds and cicadas can be heard clearly throughout the day and night.
The evening breeze is a bit cool now. Lin Muyu stood up and walked over, gently closed the window, then raised his head following the reflection on the window and saw the bright full moon.
It’s almost half a month. He calculated the date.
In two days we will be heading to the dungeon, and it will probably take two or three days to finish cleaning it up.
If the boy happened to wake up during that time, would he be disappointed not to see them? Inexplicably, the three of them thought of this at the same time.
…
"Wake up soon."
Someone said with a sigh.
