Chapter 19 – Dream induction

Nanjin led Gu Shen to the underground second floor of a building in the city center.

This is a detention center of the Judgement Bureau.

In the prison cell, the lights were blinding.

Several muscular men wearing vests were tied up and struggling fiercely. Since they were subdued until now, they have been persistently struggling, and their strength is astonishing. The sound of their banging against the walls can be heard.

Gu Shen immediately recognized the identities of these people... From their physique, they were the "fake researchers" from last night!

He asked, "Are these the suspects caught last night?"

"Yes, and no..." Nanjin shook her head. "They are actually amateur rugby players."

Rugby... players?

No wonder!

Gu Shen recalled the scene from yesterday. The behavior of these people when they broke through the police cordon was like that of wild beasts!

Nanjin turned off the holographic screen.

The information files of these people appeared one by one.

She sighed, "These people are all amateur rugby players in Da Teng City. They have always been good citizens with no criminal records... But because they were hypnotized by a psychic transcendent, they have cognitive disorders..."

"A psychic transcendent?" Gu Shen frowned. "Cognitive disorders?"

"They believe they are angry bulls."

A strange female voice echoed.

Gu Shen's spirit was lifted, and he looked towards the direction of the voice. There was still one transcendent who didn't show up last night. This person should be the "senior sister" that Nanjin mentioned.

A girl in a gray hoodie and short skirt slowly walked out of the corner. She was not tall, with a young and tender face, chubby cheeks, and looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

"That person hiding in the shadows is very clever." The girl with the baby face leisurely chewed her gum. "The interrogation over there just ended. Unfortunately, the people you and Zhong Wei caught are just hypnotized pawns."

The girl in the gray hoodie blew a big bubble with her gum. She looked interested as she observed Gu Shen. Standing behind her in the shadows was a melancholic and handsome young man, who also looked at Gu Shen with a kind and scrutinizing gaze.

The girl smiled, "Is this the S-rank rookie saved by the 'pardon order'?"

"Yes." Nanjin nodded and introduced Gu Shen to Luo Er, the senior sister, and Zhong Wei, the senior brother, with great respect.

"Is she really the senior sister..." Gu Shen compared their heights with his hand and muttered in disbelief, "She looks even younger than me. Is she not yet an adult?"

Snap.

The bubble blown by the gum burst.

Luo Er's forehead twitched with annoyance at being looked down upon.

Zhong Wei gently held Luo Er's shoulder with both hands and smiled softly, "Alright, alright. With your appearance, it's no wonder the rookie would misunderstand..."

Zhong Wei smiled at Gu Shen.

At the moment their gazes met, a voice suddenly appeared in Gu Shen's mind.

It was Zhong Wei's voice—

"Many years ago, due to a certain 'transcendent incident,' Luo Senior Sister's body became what it is now. Her bone age is forever stuck at fifteen years old. In fact, she has studied and practiced with Mr. Shu for the longest time and has the strongest ability. She is recognized and respected by everyone as the true senior sister."

Was this another use of transcendent power?

Surprised, Gu Shen noticed that this handsome young man was completely different from the fierce appearance he had seen last night.

Zhong Wei's performance when chasing the magician was extremely fierce and decisive, like a cheetah, fast, accurate, and ruthless, making people fearful.

He was a ruthless character who showed no mercy to his enemies!

But towards Gu Shen, the rookie accepted by Mr. Shu, he was extremely gentle.

"Due to the influence of transcendent power, Luo Senior Sister's temper sometimes gets out of control. Please be careful in the future." Zhong Wei's transmitted voice was unusually serious. "...But if you make her angry, the solution is simple."

The transmission of thoughts ended.

"Senior sister, here, have some candy!"

Zhong Wei smiled and took out a lollipop from his pocket.

Three seconds later.

Luo Er, with the lollipop in her mouth, became obedient and docile like a little animal, although her voice was unclear. Her originally fierce face was filled with disdain. "Who would have the same level of experience as a rookie... Besides, this kid hasn't passed the review yet. Whether he can become a rookie is still uncertain."

Ah... So the solution is that simple.

Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief and silently cast a grateful look at Zhong Wei.

...

...

In a corner of the underground second floor, there were two tightly guarded detention cells of high specifications.

The "magician" and the "intruder" from last night were both locked up here.

"Although these two are transcendent, their abilities are quite ordinary, and they haven't undergone systematic training." Luo Er said slowly, "The psychic transcendent who was hiding in the shadows should have a similar ability to 'dream induction.' He has cast several layers of dreams on these people, distorting reality and illusion, and then added subconscious guidance. Until now, these two transcendent individuals still don't know what they have done..."

"Dream induction?"

"Yes... It is a method of pulling the opponent's consciousness into the illusion. It is called dream induction. Generally, only psychic transcendent individuals can perform it. As time goes by, the dreams will gradually shatter. The fact that they haven't awakened yet indicates a large gap in strength between the two sides."

Seeing Gu Shen's confused expression, Luo Er frowned and asked, "Nanjin, why doesn't he know anything?"

"It happened suddenly, and there was no time to teach him." Nanjin said, "Before the fire case, he was just an ordinary person."

He still is now... Gu Shen silently thought to himself.

"We only have fifteen days left, and after fifteen days, Gu Shen will face the 'review' of the Judgement Bureau. If the review result is not satisfactory, the pardon order may be revoked. This means that Gu Shen may face imprisonment, and the efforts of Mr. Shu will be in vain."

"The pardon order has already been used, so if the review result is not good, we must at least protect Gu Shen." Zhong Wei frowned. "And the genetic evidence extraction and identification of the fire case will take at least twenty days according to the procedure... From the perspective of solving the case, it's already too late.""This setup has already stirred the snake in the grass," Luo Er said. "After the opponent's failure, they knew they couldn't prevent us from extracting the scene information. They probably won't risk getting involved again... As for the interrogation of these 'suspects' we caught last night, it's all meaningless unless we catch the mastermind, the psychic Transcendent."

Gu Shen watched as each person spoke... The conversation seemed to be directed in a certain direction.

There was no time to solve the case.

They could only start with the audit in fifteen days.

"Everyone, don't be so pessimistic."

Nanjin tried to cheer up her senior brothers and sisters, "This is the newcomer that the teacher has saved with a special pardon. He is the future hope with an S-level potential assessment... Although he looks a bit silly, do we really have no confidence in him?"

"I agree, he just looks a bit silly."

Luo Er pressed a switch and said lightly, "There happens to be a training field on the second underground floor. Let me see how strong this so-called S-level is."

The wall at the end flipped.

A heavy metal secret door opened.

Then the view in front of them suddenly widened. It was hard to imagine that such a spacious space like a football field could be moved out from under this building. This was a training field specially prepared for the Transcendents by the Judgment Office. The view was filled with a gray tone, and the room echoed with a solemn atmosphere.

Basic firearms, targets, close combat weapons like swords and daggers, were all placed on the shelves.

"I've seen that case file."

Luo Er smiled and said, "Indeed... the scene was shocking. Two Transcendents were slaughtered without the power to fight back. But what's confusing is that one was chopped up by a blade, and the other was burned to ashes by fire."

"Because the Transcendent powers around the world are still awakening... The Transcendent spectrum we created is updated and perfected every year, so the Judgment Office can't determine at the first time whether your awakened power belongs to the known Transcendents."

"But no matter what the specific power is, it can't escape the three major categories... the psychic type that controls the mind, the nature type that manipulates elements, and the assault type that evolves the body."

"From the scene, you clearly showed two completely different Transcendent powers... There are not many people in the East Continents who can do this. It's truly an astonishing miracle. If it's a dual-system awakening, it's indeed worthy of the 'S' level assessment."

"Now... let me see your depth."

Luo Er looked at Gu Shen, "Use your awakened power to attack me, don't hold back."
