Bai Jingming calmly said, "That should be a kind of dream materialization crystallization. In most cases, this is due to a dream-related illness."
At this point, Bai Jingming paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "Considering that Commander Jerry had experienced this before, and now Yu Ran has experienced it again, this might be a contagious dream disease."
"Contagious?" Li Mu's eyes widened slightly.
Bai Jingming nodded, then said, "Of course, this is just my guess at the moment, since only Jerry and Yu Ran have this problem so far, and no one else has..."
“Yes!” Li Mu interrupted Bai Jingming.
She glanced at Lu Ning with a grim expression, then looked at Bai Jingming and said, "Yesterday, Lu Ning handled an unusual incident, which also involved dreams."
Bai Jingming frowned slightly, his expression as cold as ever. He calmly said, "Could you tell me the specifics?"
Lu Ning nodded and explained the situation to Bai Jingming.
Bai Jingming listened quietly, then asked, "That little boy didn't fall into a coma? Instead, his cognition was altered?"
"Um."
Bai Jingming thought for a moment and said, "It seems that it is very likely a dream-related illness."
Li Mu was somewhat confused: "The two situations are clearly different, so why is it more likely to be a dream-related illness?"
Bai Jingming glanced at Li Mu: "Everyone's dreams are different, and the manifestations of dreams are naturally different as well. I have investigated previous cases of illness and injury caused by dreams and found that the harm caused by abnormal dreams is diverse, including unconsciousness, altered cognition, direct illness, and even brain death... all kinds of situations can occur."
Upon hearing this, Li Mu frowned, then asked, "What is the treatment method?"
Bai Jingming shook his head: "I'm not sure right now either. Perhaps we'll need the cooperation of people with mental abilities to conduct some experiments."
Upon hearing this, one name simultaneously popped into the minds of both Li Mu and Lu Ning.
Yun Rou is currently the strongest person in the Mind-based system in Base City 116, and a fifth-tier Awakened individual.
“We can ask Yunrou for help!” Li Mu said immediately.
Bai Jingming nodded slightly, then had his assistant bring out the equipment and said, "Let's check the situation first."
Li Mu and Lu Ning nodded and said nothing more.
Bai Jingming arranged for his assistant to step forward and perform the test. Bai Jingming looked at the instrument panel, his brows sometimes furrowing and sometimes relaxing.
Soon, Bai Jingming sighed softly and said, "Yu Ran's brainwave waveform is the same as Jerry's before, with frequencies corresponding to the superposition of delta and beta waves. Their dreams may be related. If that's the case, then this dream-related illness has a certain probability of being contagious."
Hearing this, Li Mu frowned, still somewhat puzzled, and asked, "But that was a dream, so why would it be contagious?"
Bai Jingming calmly said, "Why is it impossible? Dreams are just a manifestation of the human subconscious. When the subconscious is connected, the pollution from dream diseases can spread through the connection, much like a cold."
Li Mu's face darkened.
A cold doesn't pose that kind of danger!
However, as a senior doctor and a fourth-level awakened one, Li Mu had no choice but to believe what Bai Jingming said.
Lu Ning's expression remained calm, and Bai Jingming's words confirmed his suspicions.
Perhaps, as he had previously suspected, those diseases had already begun to spread within the dream dimension.
Lu Ning looked at Bai Jingming and asked, "How can this disease be cured?"
Bai Jingming grinned, a hint of bloodlust in his smile, and said, "Just like with other diseases before, find the pathogen, and then kill it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ning seemed to realize something and asked, "Is the pathogen... Jerry?"
Bai Jingming had his assistant pack his briefcase and said with a smile, "I'm not sure about that either. In reality, it would be difficult to pinpoint the location of the pathogen, since all of this is a disease in a dream, belonging to the deepest spiritual issues of humankind."
"What should we do then?" Li Mu asked with some worry.
Bai Jingming smiled and said, "If we can't find it in reality, then we'll look for it in our dreams."
"In a dream?" Li Mu was somewhat taken aback.
However, Li Mu quickly realized what was happening.
"You mean let us enter Xiao Ran's dream?"
Bai Jingming said, "It's not just her dream, but the dream of all the patients... and perhaps even the dream of all humanity in the base city."
"Then how do we enter the dream?" Lu Ning asked.
Bai Jingming glanced at Lu Ning: "I don't know either. Headquarters should have the corresponding soul artifacts. Perhaps you can ask Yun Rou... However, the dream realm is the territory of the Mind Sect, especially the corrupted dream realm. It's very dangerous to go in, and you could die at any time. I don't know what will happen in reality if you die in a dream."
Li Mu and Lu Ning both fell silent.
They never imagined entering someone else's dream.
