The arms of the boy lying on the bed were dark red, and the whole room was filled with a rotten musty smell and a strange aroma, which made people feel nauseous and drowsy.

"rigor mortis usually appears within one to three hours after death, and spreads throughout the body within four to six hours." Li Yan frowned and analyzed, "If rigor mortis is relieved like this, it means the time of death It’s been more than twenty-four hours.”

But they had seen Xiao Jing a few hours ago. He could move and talk, so there was no way he was a corpse.

Chu Yao's attention was entirely focused on a small incense burner, which was placed on the top shelf of Xiao Jing's bookcase. The incense burner was made of enamel and had gaudy decorations.

There is a strange animal carved on the body of the furnace. Its body is like a horse, its nose is as long as an elephant, and it has an ox tail.

This animal is called "tapir", and among the legends about tapirs, the most famous one is that it can eat people's dreams, so this kind of tapir is also called "dream-eating tapir".

There was a thin layer of incense ash accumulated in the incense burner. When Chu Yao took off the lid, the incense burner no longer emitted fragrance. When he put the lid back on, he could vaguely smell a subtle fragrance.

Chu Yao used his spiritual power to draw a heart-clearing spell on himself to prevent him from falling asleep after smelling the fragrance.

Li Yan was more unlucky. Within a few minutes of Chu Yao's experiment, he fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, it was already three o'clock in the morning. He remembered what happened yesterday and hurriedly climbed out of bed, only to find that he was sleeping in the guest room prepared by the Zou family.

The servants of the Zou family were shocked when they saw him. He asked a few tentative questions, but everyone lost their memory of yesterday.

The Feng Shui masters invited by Mrs. Zou and Mr. Zou were also missing. As for Xiao Jing, the servants had a secretive expression on their faces.

"Oh, our sixth young master passed away yesterday. Please don't mention him in front of your wife or husband, so as not to make them sad," the servant said.

On the other hand, Mrs. Zou and Mr. Zou called the police at the same time early in the morning. When they arrived at the police station, they forgot why they came to call the police.

The police thought it was a quarrel between the two of them and enlightened them.

Both of them felt very baffled. At night, after falling asleep, Mrs. Zou found that she was tied up in the basement again.

The screen in front of her, the hot gold water, and the skull tied to both sides of her head, everything was so familiar and realistic.

She and Mr. Zou were tortured every night, but could not remember anything when they woke up. However, they later became more and more afraid of falling asleep, and both suffered from insomnia.

And the Zou family gradually fell into ruin.

Chu Yao spent a few days to figure out how to use the incense burner. The incense burner has the function of automatically recognizing its owner. Whoever is in the hand will default to its owner.

Normally, when the lid is closed, the incense burner will induce sleep and then swallow up the surrounding nightmare.

Every time a nightmare is devoured, the ash in the incense burner will increase a little.

When the lid is opened, the person holding the incense burner can enter other dreams after falling asleep, and can modify other people's dreams. Each modification will consume the incense ashes in the burner.

After school started, Chu Yao brought the incense burner to school. In just a few days, there was so much ashes in the incense burner that it almost overflowed.

The more incense ash, the more nightmares. It seems that the sleep quality of contemporary college students is worrying.

She used the incense burner to sneak into nearby dreams. Bai Ningle rarely had nightmares. Her dreams were usually about tasting delicious food or in several game worlds she liked to play.

Mu Yiting had slightly more nightmares. Whenever her cousin appeared in her dreams, it meant that she was going to have nightmares.

Later, during a chat, Chu Yao learned that Mu Yiting's cousin could be called her psychological shadow.

Ever since she was little, her cousin has always pushed her in everything, from musical instrument grading to high school and college entrance exams. Mu Yiting thought she would be able to beat her cousin once after she was admitted to Tiandu University. Who knew her cousin was married to a rich man? Rich people show off in front of her every day.

"What's the use of studying well? You can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month after graduation at most, but I can pay hundreds of thousands for a bag."

This is what her cousin said the most. It's hard to say whether Mu Yiting formed her current character because of her cousin.

However, after Chu Yao sneaked into other people's dreams several times, he lost interest in the incense burner, closed the lid and threw it in the corner.

After a while, the students at Teito University were surprised to find that they almost no longer had nightmares.

This incident also sparked a wave of discussion on Teito University's confession wall. Everyone thought that Teito University's feng shui was good, so the quality of sleep was greatly improved.

Another student said that he often had nightmares when he went home, but it got better after he came to school. He didn't even want to go home during the holidays.

Until one day, Chu Yao dreamed of a pure white tapir beast with a round body, like a pig with a long nose.

It meekly lay on Chu Yao's lap, expressed its gratitude to her, and said: "There have been several ghosts at night recently, and they seem to be here to find you. I was afraid that they would disturb your rest, so I drove them away. gone."

Chu Yao thought to himself, no wonder he hadn't encountered ghosts at night recently, otherwise he would have to go out to help in the middle of the night.

"Great job!" Chu Yao touched the tapir beast's furry back and asked, "I want you to help me find out a person's current situation. Can you do it?"

The tapir beast nodded and said: "As long as this person is in his dream, I can read his memory. Just imagine what this person looks like in your mind."

Chu Yao followed its words and imagined Chu Boting's appearance. The tapir beast disappeared for a moment and then came back quickly.

"This man has been having a miserable life recently. I could have shown his memory to you in the form of a picture, but I'm worried that you won't be able to sleep after watching it." The tapir beast said tactfully.

For a tapir, nothing is more important than letting its master sleep peacefully.

If others knew that the owner had a nightmare because of the scene he showed, it would die of shame and anger.

"It doesn't matter, you can describe it to me in words." Chu Yao said.
