Bulwark of Light

Chapter 70

"Jingle Bell--"

The third round of alarms sounded at 12:30, and Zhou Yexin barely woke up from her dream. She yawned and struggled to snuff out the piercing ringing that vibrated many times under the pillow.

The sun poured in from the window, it was already noon.

What the hell?

I actually slept twelve hours in one sleep... and I am still tired.

Zhou Yexin tried her best to cheer up, washed up and set off, and it was close to two o'clock when she arrived at Sleep Whisperer... When she went upstairs, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, and the upstairs seemed to be extremely lively today.

"Little Doctor Gu, thank you...thank you..."

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a grateful expression, firmly held Gu Shen's hand, "You are really incredible... I haven't closed my eyes for several days... I transferred a thank you fee of 1 yuan, just a little thank you Gift, if you don't like it, please accept it."

Besides this man, there are several...customers in the compartment on the second floor.

Three or four were lying on their stomachs without any movement, and one or two were sleeping in a sturdy posture, snoring on their backs, and there were bursts of thunder.

Zhou Yexin was stunned, and even suspected that he had come to the wrong place.

What's happening here?
"Leave one, let one."

There was a voice of urging behind him. A lady with a bag and an upskirt, wearing a pair of high heels, hurried up the narrow stairs to the second floor. The moment she saw Gu Shen, she immediately smiled like a flower.

She took out a glowing red scroll from her bag... and unfolded it with a clatter.

"Doctor Gu, this is the pennant I ordered last night...and it will be delivered today." Jiang Wan smiled and said, "How is it? Do you think it's okay to hang it here?"

Zhou Yexin was dumbfounded.

When everyone had dispersed, Gu Shen took Miss Xiaoxin and found a relatively quiet environment to be alone, and he explained concisely.

"After you left last night, the clinic had customers...and then several more came this morning...I didn't expect you to oversleep today, so I took care of it first...It's probably like this..."

After listening, Zhou Yexin was completely sluggish for a minute.

It took her a long time to digest Gu Shen's words... Then she looked at him with a complicated expression.

"You mean, suddenly several insomniacs came here..." Miss Xiaoxin said strangely: "They haven't rested for several days...but you cured them all...you know hypnotism?"

"Well... it should be considered possible..."

Gu Shen whispered in his heart: "It's just that my hypnosis is not the same thing as the psychological hypnosis you understand."

"All in all...it's settled."

He didn't tell Miss Xiaoxin about the group insomnia.

Gu Shen didn't know... Now in Zhou Yexin's eyes, he was already a monster-level rookie.

Zhou Yexin couldn't help but support his forehead, and complained silently.

Where is this intern?
If a psychological clinic is opened next to it, isn't this just to spoil the situation?

Just one night later, all the pennant presenters came.

"Very good... very good..."

Zhou Yexin smiled and said, "I have found a treasure."

Although the mood is a bit complicated, it is quite gratifying overall.

She came to the main hall, looked at the pennant, proofread one or two, adjusted the position, tsk tsk: "Little Doctor Gu, you have rejuvenated your hands. This pennant is concise and concise, but under careful inspection, it seems to have a deep meaning..."

Only then did Gu Shen notice the pennant slogan Jiang Wan sent.

He was startled, and his expression became strange.

I helped Jiang Wan find the lost dream... If this is the rejuvenation of a wonderful hand...

"what."

Gu Shen frowned suddenly, he watched Miss Xiaoxin's back, his eyes became serious little by little.

Mental power has just shown signs of tremor.

Miss Xiaoxin had the same extraordinary aura as those insomniacs...

"Sister," Gu Shen asked, "Did you go back with Qu Shui last night?"

"Yes..." Zhou Yexin was startled, and said, "She lives near Lipu, and I gave her a ride."

"Did you meet any strange people on your way?" Gu Shen gestured, "All in black, wearing a hat, tall, thin, and hunchbacked."

"Hiss..." Zhou Yexin rubbed the center of his brows, and said with a wry smile: "You said that, it seems that you have met before, and you have a feeling of deja vu, but there are so many people, so there should be a lot of them. I didn’t sleep well, so I don’t know if my memory is accurate.”

Hear this answer.

Gu Shen already had a rough guess in his heart.

Miss Xiaoxin didn't suffer from insomnia last night, but she didn't sleep well... It was probably the result of the pocket watch she was carrying, fighting against the solemn stone carving.

But she is an ordinary person after all, and she has been branded after encountering a sealed item.

"Why are you asking this?" Zhou Yexin looked back at Gu Shen, and complained in a low voice, "It's scary to be asked like this..."

The moment you look back.

She saw Gu Shen's eyebrows, and a blazing shadow appeared.

"This is……"

Zhou Yexin's eyes were a little dazed, and the pocket watch jumped, and the daze in her eyes was about to dissipate.

After treating several insomniacs in succession, it was the first time that Gu Shen felt resistance during the hypnosis stage... Miss Xiaoxin's mental strength was obviously stronger than theirs, and this sealed item seemed to be protecting her.

"Relax and sleep. I'm not a bad person."

Gu Shen spoke softly, this time the voice contained his own spiritual power, which had a hypnotic effect.

This sentence, rather than saying it to Miss Xiaoxin, is more like saying it to that pocket watch.

hum.

Pocket watches no longer fight.

Zhou Yexin closed his eyes slowly, sat on the chair with Gu Shen's support, and fell into a deep sleep.

Unplug the nightmare, clear the brand.

By the way, it absorbs... a ray of extraordinary source quality from the sealed item.

This series of operations, Gu Shen has done well. After absorbing several strands of extraordinary source quality separated by the Sumu stone carving, Gu Shen felt that his blazing power had increased by nearly one-tenth in total.

Although it is only as thick as a strand of hair, it is a welcome progress.

Miss Xiaoxin should sleep for a while.

After finishing all this work, Gu Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief, just as he was about to take a rest... There was a knock on the door.

"Another insomniac patient came to the door..."

Gu Shen opened the door, but was startled.

A frail little girl, pitiful, pale, but with black eyes.

"Curved water?"

He didn't expect Qu Shui to come back so soon.

"Doctor Gu...I... am here for retreatment..."

Qu Shui's voice was full of tears, "After the last treatment, the situation didn't improve...Last night all night...I couldn't sleep...Can you help me see?"

Gu Shen stared at the girl for three to five seconds, then he sighed, "Come in."

The girl was like a small beast that was afraid of being abandoned by others, upon hearing Gu Shen's words, she came in cautiously as if she had been ordered.

When Gu Shen was about to close the door.

A thin and strong hand suddenly stretched out from the crack in the door, grasping the crack.

A hoarse voice came.

"Can you help me... take a look?"

Qu Shui hid behind Gu Shen, pinching the corner of Gu Shen's clothes carefully, looking at the door, his small face suddenly turned pale.

At some point, a thin, hunchbacked man stood outside the door.

He was dressed in pitch black, with the brim of his hat extremely low, and he couldn't see a single bit of his face clearly.

But the voice was dry and dry, squeezed out of his chest little by little.

"I also...can't sleep..."
