Bai Jingming walked outside, but stopped abruptly just as he reached the door.
He turned to look at Lu Ning and said, "You can go find Yun Rou and ask her to help me research the antidote. Also... if you want to enter the dream world, just call me."
Lu Ning looked at Bai Jingming, somewhat puzzled: "Are you going too?"
Bai Jingming nodded, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "Yes, I am a doctor, and dealing with pathogens is my specialty."
After saying that, Bai Jingming left the room.
Not long after Bai Jingming left, Colin and the others came in.
"What did Dean Bai say?" Colin asked.
Li Mu told the group what Bai Jingming had said earlier, and their expressions kept changing.
Ke Qing said in a deep voice, "Dream plague... I've seen it in documents. Several base cities have experienced this plague before, and the casualties were all very high."
Upon hearing this, Colin's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ke Qing: "Does the document say how to handle this?"
Ke Qing recalled: "The content above is not much. It just says that every time a dream plague occurs, the barrier between reality and dreams becomes weaker. Dreams can affect reality, and reality can also affect dreams. The location of the plague pathogen is crucial. Some seem to have nodes that can amplify dream pollution. If someone has a mind-based ability, they would probably be more sensitive to this."
After listening to Ke Qing's words, Colin thought for a moment and said, "I'll go find Yun Rou and ask her for help."
Li Mu nodded.
Colin then looked at Lu Ning and said, "Lu Ning, could you please keep an eye on Yu Ran tonight? If she becomes ill later... you can absorb her mental pollution."
Lu Ning nodded: "Okay."
"Thank you!" Colin nodded emphatically.
Lu Ning shook his head and said, "No need."
Yu Ran and Lu Ning had a good relationship, so Lu Ning naturally wouldn't stand by and watch her get into trouble.
Not to mention that Lu Ning had promised Lin Xiao to take good care of the people in the Seventh Division.
Li Mu said, "I'll stay too."
Colin nodded. "Okay."
He then looked at Ke Qing and said, "Ke Qing, why don't you go back to the branch? Right now, the branch only has Wang Qiwen and Linlin, two senior members. Aiha and the others are still a bit inexperienced. With just the two of them, the pressure will be immense."
Ke Qing nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and keep an eye on it."
Afterwards, everyone went their separate ways. Colin went to find Yunrou, while Keqing returned to the branch office and also took the opportunity to let the others know she was safe.
Lu Ning and Li Mu stayed in the ward to take care of Yu Ran.
Soon, only Li Mu and Lu Ning remained in the room.
Li Mu sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at Yu Ran, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.
She gently tucked Yu Ran's disheveled hair behind her ear and whispered, "When I first joined the Mist Bureau, Xiao Ran's parents were veteran members. I was timid back then, and I was very grateful for their care, especially Xiao Ran's mother..."
A look of reminiscence flashed in Li Mu's eyes: "She was a very gentle woman. If it weren't for her, I probably would have died several times over."
Lu Ning stood by the window, listening silently to Li Mu's words.
Li Mu's gentle voice continued: "Back then, Xiao Ran was only a teenager. She often came to the Misty Bureau to see her parents, and we gradually became familiar with each other. In my heart, she was like a younger sister to me."
"Later, her parents sacrificed themselves one after another. In order to take care of Xiao Ran, Lin Xiao let her join the Fog Bureau and work as a clerk. Lin Xiao had always been in charge of taking care of her. After Lin Xiao died, Colin and I took on this task... If something happens to Xiao Ran, even if Colin and I die, we probably won't dare to face her parents and Lin Xiao."
After Li Mu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the ward returned to silence.
It was already evening when they left the underground library.
As night deepens, the moon hangs in the sky, radiating silver light that shines into the ward.
Lu Ning calmly looked at the moon, counting the eyes on it.
He was also thinking about the words of advice Lin Xiao gave before his soul dissipated.
After a moment of silence, Lu Ning calmly said, "According to Dean Bai's instructions, entering her dream offers a chance to save her."
Li Mu nodded, a determined look flashing in his eyes: "That's right! I must save her!"
Lu Ning glanced at Li Mu and said, "You're useless going; you're too weak."
Li Mu's expression froze, then he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "You were clearly not as good as me before! Now that you've become stronger, you've become arrogant?!"
"I am stating the facts."
Li Mu snorted coldly, "Judging from Dean Bai's words, since it's a plague, then this is a major event involving the entire base city. As a veteran member of the Fog Bureau's action team, I definitely have to go. Even if it's dangerous, I have to go."
Lu Ning remained silent.
What Li Mu said makes sense.
Just like the mass disease caused at headquarters when the Fallen Incense Burner was first created.
Despite knowing the danger, members of the action teams from various branches, and even those who had awakened to freedom, went to headquarters to help without hesitation.
Even knowing they will die, some people will still continue to step forward, one after another.
A hint of reminiscence appeared in Lu Ning's eyes as he said, "Since ancient times, the human spirit of resistance has never ceased."
Li Mu paused for a moment, then looked at Lu Ning with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to have such a remark?"
Then Li Mu smiled and said, "Compared to when we first met, you are more like a human now."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ning replied earnestly, "I was originally human!"
Li Mu rolled her eyes and was about to speak.
Suddenly, a soft laugh came from beside the bed.
