Regarding the accident that happened during hypnosis a few days ago, Su Yuan didn't deliberately ask her why, but just said very plainly: Jacky said, your hallucinations come from something you encountered in your childhood.

Zhong Ning held her forehead, and to be honest, even she herself didn't know the whole story, "...But, I can't remember," the only thing she confirmed was that she was very scared at that time, and her whole body was shaking with fear.

But that fear doesn't stem from not being able to get out, it's from not being able to get out.

Su Yuan didn't mention it again, but softly told her to concentrate on the exam and stop thinking about it.

But Zhong Ning didn't put her mind on this at all. Ever since hypnosis was put on the agenda, she only wanted a pass in her heart, and she never thought about merit or anything like that.

The exam didn't feel great, but it wasn't too bad either.

The examination room for financial mathematics was at the same place as Zhong Ning. There were at least a hundred tables and chairs in Nuo University’s stadium. Ning somewhat felt relieved.

Finally, the torment that lasted about a week was over.

……

The day after their exams, they went to King's College London.

Because the medical school was some distance away from the doctoral study room, Alex obviously hadn't arrived yet, but as soon as Zhong Ning and Su Yuan opened the door, they saw Carl sitting alone at the table with his back to them.

Getting closer, Carl doesn't seem to be studying, but is watching a video with headphones plugged in. It seems to be the BBC program about superpowers?

"Carl, Alex said he'll be there in 10 minutes,"

Su Yuan walked to his side, and took off his earphones very naturally, "You are quite fast."

Although Su Yuan was familiar with him, Zhong Ning hadn't gotten used to the cold gaze, so when Carl looked over, she subconsciously leaned into Su Yuan's arms, "Long time no see..."

Carl glanced at Zhong Ning blankly, then turned around again, "You should take a good rest."

Is he caring about himself?

Zhong Ning was slightly taken aback, feeling inexplicably apprehensive, "Thank you..."

"Carl, you are very strange today." Su Yuan pulled Zhong Ning to sit beside him, and suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why are you interested in TV, don't you never watch it?"

"..."

"I thought it was fun,"

Carl slowly took off the other earphone, and asked lightly, "Don't you think so?"

Su Yuan shook his head at him, and smiled softly, "Sorry, you know I don't watch TV much either."

"Well, actually this show... I watch every episode,"

Zhong Ning thought that she and Carl had finally found a common topic, although she was a little surprised, she asked cautiously, "Which issue do you like?"

"..."

Unexpectedly, Carl glanced at her, and replied very coldly, "I don't like any issue."

"..."

It was the first time seeing such a person who couldn't chat, Zhong Ning was frightened by his reaction, and she didn't dare to answer any more, "Oh..." She could only turn around resentfully.

Just when she thought the topic had changed, Carl silently turned on the external sound channel, put the ipad on the table, and leaned towards the two of them, "Do you think there is something strange about this host?"

Carl looked at Zhong Ning fixedly, as if he was only asking her, "Don't you think he is strange?"

Zhong Ning was slightly taken aback. Could it be that Carl saw something again? She carefully looked at the male host with a deep silhouette on the screen, but she didn't know what Carl was talking about, and she didn't have dynamic vision...

Carl frowned at her, seemingly dissatisfied with her reaction.

"never mind,"

He turned around and said to himself, "I'll see sooner or later, there must be something wrong."

Carl's actions completely baffled Zhong Ning, she tugged Su Yuan worriedly, Su Yuan smiled at her knowingly, leaned over and kissed her cheek, "Don't worry about it."

……

At this time, Alex finally opened the door and came in.

"Oh, how is it? I heard that your hypnosis is going well?" He asked as he unfastened his backpack.

"Well, I went to see hcraft, and then I went to the bar to meet the waiter named Shaw. The matter of the waiter is still under investigation, and he looks like an ordinary person."

Su Yuan crossed his arms, leaned against the table and replied, "Then, I just got the information of the other two people."

"Just two people at once?" Alex was a little surprised.

"Well, because it's a Japanese couple,"

Talking to Alex is much smoother. Zhong Ning thought for a while and continued to describe, "Age is around 50-60 years old. We only know that they may open an antique shop in Passage, but we don't know the specific address."

She paused for a moment, but didn't say anything about the accident that followed.

"no problem,"

He didn't know if Carl was listening carefully, but he suddenly interrupted and said, "Let me check it out." He took the initiative to turn off the video, and then began to browse the web at an astonishing speed.

"..."

Before Zhong Ning could react to Carl's proposal, she was frightened by the words flying across the pages quickly. Before she could see clearly, Carl had already turned over dozens of pages with a blank expression.This is no longer checking things, this is simply...

Zhong Ning covered her mouth in surprise, but found that the two people beside her were not surprised at all.

Su Yuan frowned at Carl, noticed Zhong Ning's gaze and smiled at her, "Just get used to it."

"It's too hard...get used to it"

Before Zhong Ning could digest the picture, Carl stopped suddenly, and then tapped the ipad screen, "There are seven Japanese shopkeepers in the passage, and only two of them fit the description you just described."

Zhong Ning opened her mouth, and just wanted to say to compare the photos.

Carl asked, "Huh?" in confusion. He opened the comments and pointed to a line of words, "Here is an anonymous message, saying that the male store owner is a wizard by profession?! It's so scary, it makes people's skin crawl."

Zhong Ning couldn't keep up with the reaction in her head now, "...what do you mean?"

Carl handed them the iPad casually, and said flatly, "It means that you should focus on this one."

……

Passage is located in the north of London. It looks very ordinary on the outside, but the shops on both sides of the street are mainly antique collections. Zhong Ning came here for the first time, and she had only heard about it before.

“Most of the shops here have a history of hundreds of years,”

Su Yuan dragged her along the street slowly, it was still early in the sunset, so don't be too impatient, "Look at the name of the shop over there, do you see it?"

She raised her finger and pointed to the black and gold-inlaid signboard of a nearby store, "Many of the collections are items from the royal family, which is quite interesting."

Zhong Ning nodded, feeling curious about this completely different new world.

"By the way, let me show you a store I like,"

Before Zhong Ning could react, she was dragged into a well-decorated shop by the people around her, "..." She was slightly taken aback, completely shocked by the style of the shop.

Propellers, gears, pistons, bearings, knobs, each collection is full of the mechanical sense of the Victorian industrial age, and an unknown strong feeling hits the face.

"steampunk? God, this..."

Zhong Ning looked around in surprise, and couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes. She had never seen such an orthodox steampunk style. For her who had been infatuated with LS before, the attraction was not just a little bit so simple.

"I know you'll like it,"

Seeing her surprised look, Su Yuan couldn't help laughing, "I used to come here often, and it feels very charming."

a long time.

Zhong Ning finally had enough time, she took Su Yuan's hand, "I didn't expect this place to be so interesting." After thinking about it, she said coquettishly, "Then let's go to a shop selling vintage goods later, shall we?"

Su Yuan nodded and smiled, "It's fine, let's finish the business first."

Speaking of this, Zhong Ning finally remembered their original mission, as if they hadn't been able to find it since the beginning, and they were about to go to the end of the street.

"I'll check it out,"

Su Yuan opened Google Maps, looked at it carefully for a while, and finally raised his hand and pointed to the side, "It seems that the alley over there should be in the past."

……

"Alley..."

This word sounded very much in line with Zhong Ning's imagination, and she felt a little nervous. What did the message about the male shopkeeper look like a wizard mean?

With this in mind, she walked through the straight alley with Su Yuan, and finally found a small shop on the left.

Perhaps because the owner is Japanese, the whole store is decorated in a traditional Japanese style, and even the door is hung with exquisite wind chimes, which flutter gently as they open the door.

Zhong Ning saw the Japanese woman standing there at a glance, but because there were other guests, she and Su Yuan exchanged glances, and planned to take a light look at it for a while.

The furnishings of the whole store are very simple, with wooden cabinets placed on both sides, on which are displayed traditional Japanese utensils such as lacquerware food boxes, tea ceremony cups, ampoules for drinking sake, frosted glass bowls for eating ice cream, and small incense burners. , and at the east corner of the store, there is obviously a staircase with a gentle slope leading to Lushang.

In view of the previous investigation, Zhong Ning guessed that the lower part should be original handicrafts, while the upstairs is a serious collection.

Finally, the last few guests were about to leave, and they politely said goodbye to the kind and kind female shopkeeper, shoko, 行ってきます, the woman smiled and bowed, どうぞお気をつけて

Zhong Ning can probably understand some Japanese, and the tone of these people is obviously a regular customer. Shoko should be the name of this woman, and it must be Xiangzi in Chinese characters.

Because I had just been hypnotized a few days ago, it is impossible for my memory to be too biased.

Zhong Ning peeked at her from time to time, so this Xiangzi was the woman in the dream, but what about her husband?

"Su Yuan," she asked in a low voice, pulling the sleeve of the person next to her, "what should I do, should I just go forward and talk?"
