As Su Mo was thinking, her eyes suddenly lit up. She nodded in realization, clenched one fist and punched it in the other, and said with certainty, "It was that dream! When Long Tao was fighting with others, there were many people watching, and this person was also in it! Tsk tsk, the difference between inside and outside the dream is quite big, I almost didn't recognize it."

"Hmm... I heard them talking about gambling. Yes! This guy bet on Long Tao's opponent to win. Well, I wonder how much he won!?"

Small tower "..."

"Huh?" After carefully sensing the mental power of these two people, Su Mo was confused again.

Just now, she chose to go this way first because the mental power fluctuations here were the greatest. Now that she was closer, she sensed carefully and found that among the two people, the one who looked fat and bloated had stronger mental power?

"Eh? No, no, there's something wrong with his spiritual power core... Xiaota, can you check it out?"

After a while, the small tower had a clear understanding of the mental state of the two people.

The result made Xiaota and Su Mo sigh in admiration.

“This is what we call a gifted person.”

Thinking about how Dean Zhao always said she was talented, Su Mo felt a little embarrassed. She thought she was just lucky and worked hard.

Xiaota agreed, "Indeed, the one next to it is just ordinary in comparison."

Su Mo knew that the spiritual power cores condensed by the awakened ones varied in size, but she didn't expect to see such a big difference today.

The mental power core she initially condensed was already considered large, but it was not as large as this person's. His mental power core was more than twice as large as Su Mo's.

Of course, Su Mo can practice "Yunlan Jue" to transform, grow and expand his spiritual power core again and again.

But other people don't have this way of cultivation. Their spiritual power core is only as big as it is when it is condensed. If they want to expand it, they may have to hope to find some rare treasures.

Su Mo once thought that the training method released by the association had the same function. Later, she joined the association herself and studied the training method for a period of time before she realized that the training method could only attract spiritual energy and stimulate the generation of mental power, but it was completely incapable of fundamental changes such as expansion.

However, the issue of expanding the capacity of the mental power core is not urgent. Now the awakened people on Blue Star are still in the starting stage, and it is not easy to fill up their mental power cores.

"He should have just condensed his spiritual power core, and the accumulated amount is not much. Fortunately, there is enough spiritual energy in this secret realm and he has a good talent. Otherwise, if he had spent so much energy in the dream, I'm afraid his spiritual power would have been used up long ago."

Su Mo observed the two men carefully for a while.

"I have to give some advice to the dean when I go back during this vacation. When optimizing the testing equipment of the association, we have to pay attention to the problem of mental cores. Otherwise, it is easy to miss out on talents."

The current association's testing equipment is not good enough. Su Mo also used updated products in his previous life, but they were not comprehensive either, at least not in the aspect of testing mental power cores.

'Aren't you going to go into the dream and wake them up now?'

Su Mo shook his head slowly.

"Even if they wake up, I can't stop them from falling asleep again. The best way now is to find the root cause and solve the problem completely."

She had checked when she was observing the mental power of the two people just now. The two people were not injured and were fine. They must be peaceful residents in the dream and there would be no problem in the short term.

The little tower gave an opinion, "The source of the energy may be in the City Lord's Mansion. The closer we get to the City Lord's Mansion, the denser the energy will be."

Su Mo raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Didn't you find it during the previous investigation?"

'Before, when the energy was still small, I couldn't see the source. During the time you were wandering around the city, the energy was increasing. Now I can clearly see that it is all spreading from the City Lord's Mansion.'

"That energy can't be because it absorbs the mental power of these dreamers..."

'That's how it should be.'

Su Mo took a deep breath, turned around and went downstairs.

"Okay, since we know the problem lies with the City Lord's Mansion, let's go take a look. If we can solve it, then we'll solve it. If we can't, then... we'll wake them up."

Su Mo moved quickly, but Xiaota kept muttering.

'I don't know what the source of this energy is.'

"Eh? Where are you going? Isn't that the City Lord's Mansion?"

She did not go towards the City Lord's Mansion.

"I'll go check out the other two places, and then go to the City Lord's Mansion."

In another shop a few streets away, there was a foreign man with curly hair lying there. Su Mo couldn't tell which country he was from just by looking at his appearance.

But this person was still alive, and Su Mo didn't want to look through her ID. He just took a look at her and left for the next place.

"It seems that only Jiang Li and his group are brandishing swords and guns. They are injured and vomiting blood, which makes them look a bit ferocious. These few people seem to be quite peaceful."

Su Mo was slapped in the face just after he finished saying this.

In the third place, in an ordinary house, two foreigners were lying, one dead and one alive.

The living one looked fine and there was nothing wrong with him. The dead one was not that serious either, just bleeding from all seven orifices. Based on his appearance, Su Mo couldn't tell what the real cause of his death was.

"Looking at the hair color, appearance, equipment and unconsciousness of these two people, they should be teammates and there is no internal conflict. So this person should have died in a dream..."

Shaking her head, she left the residential area and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

The man was already dead, and the cause of his death was not important to Su Mo.

When she arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, she had already filled in the map of Sand City. The overall map of Sand City also showed how prosperous the city was in the past.

Sand City may not be the only city in this desert, but it is probably one of the best cities of this size.

After entering the Shachen City Lord's Mansion, Su Mo began to explore it carefully.

How can a city lord's mansion without any protection hide any secrets?

Su Mo easily found the five secret rooms hidden in it, one of which was suspected to be the source of energy.

This is the most important thing. The entrance to this secret room is located in the pond in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion. Now the entire pond is dry. Su Mo walked to the entrance and violently blew up the mechanism.

"Click" a beam of light came out, illuminating the way ahead.

Su Mo held a strong flashlight in her hand and walked down the stairs. She went down two or three floors before reaching the bottom. After passing through a corridor, she came to a dome-shaped hall.

'See that stone platform in front? The small box on it, that small box is the source!'

Of course Su Mo saw it. As soon as she entered the hall, she scanned the area with the high-intensity flashlight in her hand. The stone platform was right in the middle.

There were originally many cabinets, shelves, and boxes piled up in the hall. It was very messy. Those with lids opened were all empty, which made the stone platform with the small box very conspicuous.
