In the following days, Fang Zheng and Cui Xingshi lived in peace. Cui Xingshi did not dare to cause trouble for Fang Zheng, but she would still occasionally secretly watch him from a distance. Obviously, entering Fang Zheng's dream that night brought Cui Xingshi great fear and shock, so much so that she was a little afraid of Fang Zheng now.

To Fang Zheng, these Rose Maidens were like pets. Hinami was a lively and active puppy, Shinku was like an elegant and steady house cat, and Turquoise was more like a stray cat just picked up from the street, curious but timid.

Fang Zheng didn't care about this. The summer vacation in the third year of junior high school was the most enjoyable. There was no summer homework and the time was long. He could play however he wanted all day long... Of course, in a person's life, only the vacations in the third year of junior high school and the third year of high school were so enjoyable. The latter's fate would even be determined by your college entrance examination results.

If you do well in the exam, the entire summer vacation will be in heaven.

If it's not good, it's hell.

Even the vacation after work is not so pleasant. After all, no one can be sure whether you will be called back to reality by your boss while you are enjoying your vacation.

Fang Zheng often does this kind of thing.

He basically has no vacations anyway, so why should anyone else have any?

As the saying goes, what is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of distribution of wealth. If we are to die, let us die together.

What's wrong with being a corporate slave? Putting your limited life into endless work is also serving the people.

But now that he is back in the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, Fang Zheng can finally relive the lawless and wild days.

While Fang Zheng was drinking the fat house happy water and reading the fat house happy book, Cui Xingshi sneaked in again. She looked at Fang Zheng, and then approached him cautiously like a stray kitten. When Fang Zheng noticed Cui Xingshi's presence, he turned his head and glanced at her. When he saw Fang Zheng raise his head, Cui Xingshi was frightened and hid again.

“…”

Fang Zheng shook his head and focused his attention on the book in front of him again, while Cui Xingshi approached him carefully again, then found a place convenient for escape and stared at him.

"Human, human... I want to ask you a question..."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Actually, it's like this. I encountered a little problem..."

Then Fang Zheng also heard the whole story from Cui Xingshi. Like Zhenhong, she and her sister were also awakened. However, there was a big problem with the family. It was an old man whose son died in a car accident when he was very young, and his wife had been in a deep sleep since then. Under such circumstances, the old man's mind gradually collapsed, and he even mistook Cui Xingshi's sister Cang Xingshi for his own son.

And Cang Xingshi did not object to this, which made Cui Xingshi very dissatisfied. Originally, they wanted to enter the dream world and repair the old lady's heart tree to wake her up. In this way, the old lady who lost her son would change and would no longer regard Cang Xingshi as her own son.

But when the two entered the old lady's dream, they were surprised to find that there was nothing there, it was completely blank. So they had no idea where to start, let alone trim the branches.

Under such circumstances, the ideas of Cui Xingshi and Cang Xingshi changed. Cui Xingshi thought that since the old lady could not be awakened, it would be a waste of time to stay here, so she might as well go find a new owner. But Cang Xingshi wanted to stay here and accompany the old grandfather. After all, the old grandfather only had her to rely on now. If she left again, she didn't know what would happen to him.

So the two had a big fight, and then Cui Xingshi left home and came to Zhenhong.

After that, Cui Xingshi finally had a peaceful life for a while, but she was still worried about her sister, so she secretly went back to check on her. As a result, Cui Xingshi found that Cang Xingshi's condition not only did not improve, but even worsened.

In order to prevent her from escaping, the old man even tied her up with ropes. Not only that, he did not allow her to sleep in the box and could only sleep outside.

This really pissed off Turquoise. You know, for Rose Maiden, sleeping in a box has a special meaning. They will fall asleep in the box and return to their dream world to rest. If they don't go back, their power will gradually decrease and eventually become an empty shell.

So Cui Xingshi found Cang Xingshi again and tried to take her away. The two even had a fight, but in the end Cang Xingshi did not change her mind, which made Cui Xingshi helpless and had to come back alone, and then... she thought of asking Fang Zheng for help.

"So you want me to help convince Cang Xingshi?"

After listening to Cui Xingshi's explanation of the whole story, Fang Zheng frowned.

"If even your persuasion as a sister doesn't work, then I think it won't matter whether I go or Shinku goes."

Don't even count on Hinamei.

"But……!"

"But if it's that old lady, then there's something we can do about it."

Having said this, Fang Zheng sat up from his bed.

"Anyway, take me there first."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Cui Xingshi's originally disappointed face suddenly showed a smile, and then nodded vigorously.

"Um!"

Guided by the Emerald Star Stone, Fang Zheng once again passed through the mirror and appeared in a strange room. There was nothing in the room and it looked empty. There was only an old lady lying in bed with her eyes closed. A short-haired doll with a hat sat beside her, looking at the old lady silently without saying a word.

Noticing someone appearing in the mirror, the other person quickly turned his head and showed a surprised expression when he saw the Green Star Stone.

"Emerald Star Stone!"

Seeing Cui Xingshi appear again, Cang Xingshi was also surprised, and soon she turned her gaze to Fang Zheng again.

"Who is he? Is he your master?"

"No, well...he is not my master yet..."

Hearing Cang Xingshi's question, Cui Xingshi's face turned red, and she spoke a little embarrassedly, but she quickly changed the subject.

"Don't say that, this human can help you!"

"help me?"

Cang Xingshi looked at Cui Xingshi, then at Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and walked to the old lady.

"Okay, I already have a general understanding of your situation with the Emerald Star Stone. I need to investigate the details first and then make a decision."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng walked over to the old lady, then opened his personal terminal and scanned her.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Fang Zheng take out a strange object from his hand and scan the old lady, Cang Xingshi suddenly became nervous, and Fang Zheng glanced at her.

"I heard from Cui Xingshi that when you entered her dream world before, was it completely blank?"

"Yes, that's right."

“So I’m going to investigate.”

"……investigation?"

"Yes."

Fang Zheng nodded.

"I have also experienced the dream power of the Verdurous Star Stone. Simply put, dreams are a projection of human consciousness... well, most humans."

Having said this, Fang Zheng glanced at the Green Star Stone and added another sentence.

"In this case, if there is nothing in the dream, then there are only two possibilities."

"What are the two possibilities?"

At this moment, Green Star Stone and Blue Star Stone became curious. Although they were gardeners of human dreams, they didn't know much about this aspect.

"One is physical damage."

Fang Zheng looked at the old lady's face.

"To put it simply, it is brain death. This situation is very common in clinical medicine. Although the patient is still alive, able to breathe and metabolize on her own, her brain is dead. After the brain dies, humans naturally have no consciousness. After all, she is already dead, and you can't expect a dead person to dream."

“…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Cui Xingshi and Cang Xingshi swallowed their saliva, and then Cang Xingshi opened his mouth to ask.

"What about the other one?"

"That means she has been extremely stimulated and has closed her mind. In this case, you are also powerless. I am not sure which one this old lady is. If it is the latter, then we still have a way."

"Then...what if it's the former?"

In response to Cang Xingshi's uneasy questioning, Fang Zheng glanced at her.

"At least I think the final resting place for the dead should be the cemetery, not here."

“…”

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the two puppet girls looked even more solemn. For a moment, the whole room was silent. After a while, a "beep" sound broke the suffocating atmosphere. Then, Fang Zheng took back his personal terminal and glanced at the information on it.

Seeing this scene, the two puppet girls became more and more uneasy. They didn't know whether they should ask, but if it was really the worst case scenario as Fang Zheng said, then what should they do? The Green Star Stone had no answer to this question, and the Blue Star Stone also had no answer.

"What did the higher-ups say?"

Cui Xingshi was also feeling a little uneasy at this moment, but Fang Zheng did not answer her question immediately. Instead, he stared intently at the screen in front of him, checking the data on it.

"Well, judging from the data, the brain waves are normal, and there is no sudden pathological damage..."

"What does that mean?"

This time, in response to Cang Xingshi's words, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and stood up.

"Okay, everything is normal on the physical level of the brain, so next...heart disease must be treated with the heart."

Having said this, Fang Zheng stared at the two puppet girls in front of him.

"Open the door."
