"What did he dream about?"
"They were just some nightmare monsters. He was fighting with them in his dreams. Captain, let me tell you, this guy is quite perverted. He chopped up many nightmare monsters. That scene was... "
Mu Lingxi fell into thought. Did she dream of nightmare monsters? That was normal. Nightmare Apostles often dreamed of nightmare monsters. This kind of people entered the nightmare world through dreaming, so they naturally resisted sleeping, and nightmares were common.
"Did you guide him in your dream?"
Zhuang Qing nodded naturally. "Of course I guided him. I implanted a lot of information about the Seven Deadly Sins and Pride in his dream. His reaction was also normal. In my opinion, the theft of the Golden Eye and the murder of Qian Zihao were probably coincidences. An evil organization like the Seven Deadly Sins cannot be cultivated in a small place like Star City."
Mu Lingxi was slightly distracted. Was my feeling wrong? Maybe Pride had no connection with Star City and was just passing by?
"Captain, you've been busy all night, do you want to have some midnight snack?" Zhuang Qing came over with a playful smile.
"Go back to bed, enter Murong Mengli's dream, and check all the suspects first."
"Ah?" Zhuang Qing said reluctantly: "Captain, I just woke up, how can I sleep now? Otherwise, you can give me a photo..."
Snap!
That was the sound of a bullet being loaded.
Looking at the black muzzle of the gun in front of him, Zhuang Qing fell asleep: "I suddenly feel very sleepy, Captain, I'll go to sleep first."
Mu Lingxi took back the pistol, turned around and left.
As she left, Zhuang Qing, who had been smiling and joking, suddenly became expressionless. He lay flat on the bed like a robot and slowly closed his eyes.

Three days later.
In the newly built headquarters of the Viper Gang in the Lower City District, Su Mu was quietly listening to a record titled "I'm Looking Forward to It".
The wooden base of the record player has natural texture and warm color, and the slender tonearm is like a flexible baton, transforming the texture on the record into a beautiful female voice.
The female voice was clean and ethereal, like a young girl in love, slowly narrating her beautiful expectations for the future and love.
"The breeze blows gently over the sea of flowers, the sun shines on the hem of the skirt, the dream of the flower season is like a colorful painting, filled with expectations for the future..."
“I look forward to a wonderful future, my dreams are shining in the distance, I look forward to the arrival of love, like the stars lighting up my heart…”
"I expect it will always be like the first time I saw you."
"I look forward to the green holly reflecting the light of time"
"I look forward to your expectations..."
"Did you hear it? My name!" Yang Dongqing shouted excitedly, "This is the song Jasmine wrote for me!"
The ethereal female voice in the record had not yet ended when Yang Dongqing's scream instantly broke the beautiful expectations in the music.
"Let me tell you, this song is very popular now. Jasmine is going to be a big star!" He was very happy, even happier than if he were a star himself.
Su Mu looked at Yang Dongqing, who was yelling and screaming like a gorilla, and suddenly felt a headache: "You came here just to give me this record? To show off that Jasmine wrote a song for you?"
"How is that possible? I'm not that bored. I came here mainly to tell you that I feel the next nightmare world is approaching. I've been a little uneasy these past few days." When mentioning the nightmare world, Yang Dongqing's excited expression cooled down a little.
Now Sumu became interested. Is it finally coming? He has been bored for three days.
Because of the arrival of the golden strongman, the entire Star City became unprecedentedly depressing, and all undercurrents stopped. No one wanted to cause unnecessary trouble at this sensitive time.
This also made Sumu very bored, and the call of the nightmare world aroused his interest.
In fact, if possible, he would not want to take advantage of other people's nightmare recruitment, mainly because he himself had never felt the call of the nightmare world, perhaps because he went there too frequently.
Every time, he would take the initiative to join in before waiting for the call.
"You should rest in the Viper Gang these few nights and wait for the arrival of the Nightmare World."
Yang Dongqing nodded. This was exactly the purpose of his coming. To be honest, no one wants to face the nightmare world alone. In Tingting’s last nightmare, if Su Mu hadn’t been there, he would definitely not have been able to come out alive.
"I got it. I'll stay with Jasmine during the day and go back to the Viper Gang at night." After saying that, Yang Dongqing got up and ran to find Jasmine.
Su Mu shook his head helplessly. How could a superhuman being like him end up having a love-brain?

........
Star City Law Enforcement Bureau, in the conference room.
Mu Lingxi looked serious, her brows furrowed, and she kept thinking about the clues she had at hand.
"Captain, I have invaded the dreams of all these main suspects. They have nothing to do with the seven deadly sins. What should we do next?" Zhuang Qing yawned with huge dark circles under his eyes.
Mu Lingxi did not respond. Her frown deepened. Now things were in trouble. She could not find any clues in Star City. How could she report to the Empire? There had been no serious incidents of killing nobles for decades. Now there was one but there was no clue. The Imperial Capital was already very dissatisfied.
At this time, Sikong Zhen, who was sitting nearby drinking tea, suddenly said, "Since conventional means cannot find any clues, we can only rely on unconventional means."
"What do you mean?"
"Predict the future." Sikong Zhen uttered these four words lightly.
Mu Lingxi was stunned: "Bronze Law Sequence 241 [Predicting the Future] has not appeared for more than ten years. Could it be that Lord Sikong knows where there is a transcendent who can predict the future?"
Sikong Zhen shook his head slowly: "Although I don't know where the extraordinary person who can predict the future is, I know there are other means to achieve similar effects, such as fortune-telling."
"Fortune telling?" Mu Lingxi looked thoughtful. She seemed to have thought of something and blurted out, "Changsheng Taoist Temple, Taoist Priest Xuanqing!"
"Yes, it is Taoist Priest Xuanqing."
"But Taoist Xuanqing travels around the world and has no fixed place to stay. He only stays in one place for a year at a time. If we want to find him now, I'm afraid..."
Sikong Zhen smiled slightly: "No need to look for him deliberately, Taoist Xuanqing happened to be traveling to Xingcheng this time."
A hint of joy appeared on Mu Lingxi's face. "Is it in Xingcheng? That's perfect. I've heard that Taoist Xuanqing is a strange man who is proficient in fortune-telling and his effect is comparable to [predicting the future]. When he traveled to the imperial capital, he was even summoned by the royal family. If he can help, it won't be difficult to find clues to the seven deadly sins."
"Let's go and meet Taoist Xuanqing." Sikong Zhen stood up and strode out of the meeting room.
