Chapter 43 – We

"If the trajectory of the dice's rotation is correct... then it should be restored now."

In the dream of the green dice.

Gu Shen looked at himself in the mirror... according to the trajectory in his memory, he had already restored the dice, but what was displayed in the mirror at this moment was an incomplete body with broken legs and hands.

He couldn't understand the current situation.

After restoring the Rubik's Cube, the dream should be completed.

But now...

Obviously, something went wrong.

Gu Shen was not affected by the continuous tearing pain in the dream, his thoughts were unusually clear.

He replayed the puzzle and searched for the mistake.

The splashing image of the Rubik's Cube's rotation was slowed down in his memory, slowed down again--

"No... I didn't make a mistake... there's no problem with the restoration trajectory."

Gu Shen suddenly understood the reason.

"I was misled by the scrambling phenomenon of the Rubik's Cube..."

"This dice looks restored on the surface, but the internal space has long been scrambled."

The appearance deceived himself.

After realizing this, the next dream would not be too difficult. The only difficulty was enduring the pain during the rotation with mental power.

"To truly restore this dice... it requires a lot of work. I need to find the correct base first."

The real base is his own body.

The mirror that was just restored according to the trajectory was not wasted... Gu Shen recalled in his mind and put each piece of his original body back in place... he began to rotate the Rubik's Cube again.

...

...

"Click."

After five minutes of silence, the green dice spun in the palm of the young man's hand again.

At this point, everyone in the review team had strange expressions.

The deconstruction speed of the dream of the green dice was too fast, making this dream seem... very simple.

The Rubik's Cube kept rotating, occasionally pausing for a while, and quickly continued on the correct restoration trajectory.

But in fact... each rotation required the consumption of mental power, and it was easy for the dreamer to lose direction. One mistake would lead to even greater mistakes...

But Gu Shen's dream was different.

Fast! Accurate! Fierce!

Pleasing to the eye, astonishing.

Seeing this, Chief Judge Hongshan had no suspense in his eyes. He knew what it meant for the Rubik's Cube to rotate again at this moment...

Gu Shen had found the correct solution to the dream of the "green dice".

The next dream was only a matter of time.

This boy's speed in deciphering puzzles was really too fast. He originally thought that Gu Shen might need to spend one to two hours, or even longer, to deconstruct the essence of the dice.

But unexpectedly... it only took a short five minutes.

In the past, there were spiritual geniuses who were proud and wanted to try to deconstruct the dream of the "green dice", but most dreamers, even just awakening their mental consciousness, took several hours.

No one had ever been as quick to wake up as Gu Shen... and as calm in making decisions.

This boy's talent in the spiritual field was definitely one in a million! At least in terms of talent displayed in the field of "dream deciphering", it was far beyond the reach of ordinary geniuses!

His mental power was weak, but his willpower was strong, and his observation was sharp enough, and his thinking was calm enough.

"S-level, definitely S-level."

Chief Judge Hongshan couldn't wait to give his evaluation.

He looked at Gu Shen, the more he looked, the more he liked him, and his eyes were full of undisguised admiration. No wonder Zhou JiRen, the old guy, had the audacity to ask the council for a pardon, it was a guaranteed deal!

If this kid was born in the Hongshan District, he would definitely make a move to snatch him and try to bring Gu Shen into his own faction.

"If the 'green dice' can be solved within four hours, it would be enough to get an S-level evaluation. From the beginning until now, only 35 minutes have passed..." he laughed loudly, "It's two hours ahead of the fastest record. Look at this monster of a newcomer... we have witnessed an incredible miracle!"

Judge Tang Qingquan crossed his hands and stared at Gu Shen seriously, as if he was lost in thought.

Suddenly someone asked, "When Gu Shen completes the dream, will the review be considered complete?"

The review team suddenly fell silent.

Yes... according to the original rules, it should be like this... sealing any one of the three nightmare-level dream seals would be considered passing the review.

"I hope the review can continue."

The Chief Judge spoke softly.

All eyes were on him... in this review team, his position was vaguely higher than the others, and most importantly, he represented the opinion of Zhao Xilai, the head of the Dafeng District.

"No... this is my opinion."Tang Qingquan said slowly, "Since Gu Shen has shown such high talent... we might as well see his limits. Compared to solving your Green Dice in an hour, consecutively solving three Nightmare Seals is even more of a miracle, isn't it? We need to know his limits and confirm that... he is not just lucky in dream-solving."

"I object!" The Chief Judge's face showed displeasure as he said, "Continuously solving three nightmares consumes a lot of mental power. Even if he is not our disciple, he should not be treated like this!"

The Grand Judge nodded lightly, but it was just a polite agreement.

He calmly spoke, "Since someone has objected... let's vote on it. The other three, please raise your hands if you support ending the review early."

The Chief Judge in the red robe frowned and looked around.

No one raised their hand, no one agreed.

"Four to one." The Grand Judge looked at the Chief Judge in the red robe and said lightly, "Minority obeys the majority, so... it's decided, the review will continue."

...

...

Only one step left.

Gu Shen's body had already fully recovered, except his head was turned 180 degrees. He only needed to twist his head one last time to complete the final dream-solving.

He wasn't in a hurry to complete the last step.

Instead, he softly spoke, uttering the name in his heart.

"Chu Ling."

In the dark dream world of the dice, the mirror reflected and could not tolerate a second person. After speaking his thoughts, Gu Shen calmly waited for a while.

Silence filled the dice dream.

No response.

He laughed at himself. The reason he called out Chu Ling's name was actually due to a sense of luck.

She had said... as long as he needed, they could always have a "Mental Link"!

It seemed that this time, Chu Ling didn't hear.

Just as Gu Shen was about to twist his head and leave the dream...

Ripples suddenly appeared in the dark mirror in front of him, followed by a series of black chaotic codes that covered the mirror. Finally, a flawless white girl appeared in the mirror world.

"I've always been here."

Chu Ling had her hands behind her back and smiled softly, "This was your test... so I thought it would be better not to disturb you. When you were just one step away, I wanted to appear, but you never called me."

Seeing Chu Ling's face, Gu Shen felt a weight lifted off his heart.

He smiled in relief, "You've always been here..."

The dream-solving in the dice space was about to be completed. Looking back at the whole process, it was indeed a nightmare, but the thought that Chu Ling had silently accompanied him... this nightmare didn't seem so difficult to endure.

"Your dream-solving speed is very fast." Chu Ling smiled and said, "Even I am surprised. I didn't expect you to have such high talent in this area. Those guys outside are already dumbfounded."

"Ahaha..."

Gu Shen also laughed. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch his head, but his whole body was reversed, making it feel strange to touch.

He took a deep breath and focused his mind, "There are still two more reviews..."

Two more nightmares.

He had a premonition that the biggest challenge would be his current mental power.

Dream-solving required a large amount of mental power.

In the dice space, every twist of the mirror was a consumption.

He didn't know if he could hold on for the next two dream-solvings with his current mental power.

The girl in the mirror saw Gu Shen's tired face and her eyes showed a hint of pity.

Gu Shen could tell that she seemed to have something to say.

"Actually... you have already completed this review." Chu Ling softly said, "The original review only required solving one dream seal."

"The original... review?" Gu Shen was stunned.

"Someone changed the rules." Chu Ling's voice was low, "Because you solved the dreams too quickly... they wanted to see if you could complete three dreams in a row."

"With your mental power, completing three should not be a problem... but after it's over, your mental power will inevitably be overdrawn."

Hearing this, Gu Shen understood.

Since the urging of the Grand Judge, he had vaguely sensed that something was wrong... Although he was mentally prepared for the difficulty of the seals, he didn't expect it to consume so much mental power.

If he was kept in the dark, continuously solving three dreams, he estimated that he would need to lie in bed for ten days or half a month to recover.

"So... I have already met the review criteria?" Gu Shen furrowed his brows and asked, "Someone in the review committee intentionally changed the rules to prolong the process?"

"Yes."

Chu Ling said softly, "That person is Tang Qingquan, the Grand Judge of the Yinghai District. It seems that he has some opinions about you. We can't resist the modification of the review rules, we can only accept it."

Even without Chu Ling's explanation, Gu Shen could probably guess.The Chief Justice's attitude towards him was indeed different from the other members of the review committee, he felt it as soon as he entered the venue.

"If you give up now, it might not be a bad idea. Zhou JiRen knows the rules, he will fight for your rights," Chu Ling suggested, "However... the process of fighting for rights will be quite bumpy."

"Give up..."

Gu Shen shook his head.

He looked at the girl in the mirror, his tone firm, "I've come this far, how can I give up?"

He had suffered and sweated for this day.

"So you plan to... continue?" A hint of worry surfaced in Chu Ling's clear eyes.

"Exactly. Of course, I will continue."

Gu Shen suddenly laughed, "I originally thought this review was conducted according to the rules... but since someone is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust."

The girl in the mirror reacted.

Then, she covered her lips and giggled.

Chu Ling was really happy.

Because what Gu Shen just said was not "I".

But "we".
