Jiang Wan opened her eyes.

She felt like she had lost all consciousness in an instant, and when she woke up, she felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation... Accompanied by the flow of blood throughout her body, she felt as if she had been reborn.

She was stunned for several minutes before memories from the past flooded her mind.

Having suffered from insomnia for too long, she came here with the last glimmer of hope.

And then... she fell asleep as she had wished.

"Ah..."

She instinctively rubbed her temples, sat up, but didn't feel the expected soreness. Her whole body felt warm and all the fatigue and exhaustion had been swept away.

Jiang Wan couldn't believe it as she murmured, "How long did I sleep?"

"One hour." A gentle and young voice sounded, "Here, water."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "Your insomnia has been cured. I wish you a good night's sleep every day from now on."

Jiang Wan gratefully took the water. She had been tormented by exhaustion for the past few days due to her inability to fall asleep. Although her mental state had improved now, her physical condition was still a bit poor, with dry lips and a pale complexion.

But these were all minor issues that would be resolved after a few days of rest.

"Dr. Gu... You are truly... incredible."

Initially, when she saw this young assistant doctor, she was a bit skeptical. After all, she had traveled all over the city and consulted several experts, but none of them could help...

Now, her eyes towards Gu Shen were completely different. It was not just gratitude, but also admiration!

So young, yet so skilled.

"By the way... I haven't paid the fee yet..."

Jiang Wan rummaged through her bag and took out her business card and a small stack of cash. She felt a bit embarrassed, "Dr. Gu, I don't know how much your fees are here... Because I haven't had enough rest for a long time, I only have about three to four thousand in cash. If it's not enough, can I transfer the rest to you online?"

Indeed, she was a wealthy woman, and she was quite generous... Gu Shen silently marveled at it in his heart. The economic strength of the people in the metropolitan area was really good.

As far as he knew, the price at the clinic where Xiaoxin worked was around eight hundred yuan per hour, which he already considered expensive. It wouldn't be as good of a business in Qinghe.

"No need for that much... This is enough."

Gu Shen smiled and only took half of the stack of cash.

Now that he was truly a Transcendent, this time he not only completed the hypnosis but also cleared the spiritual poison left by the seal... It was just symbolic to accept the payment.

In fact, after becoming a Transcendent, Gu Shen's desire for money was not as strong.

His most concerned mother-in-law and the welfare home were both guaranteed by Cui Zhongcheng and the Zhao Group.

Now, what Gu Shen valued more... was the truth behind this insomnia incident.

He looked at the business card.

"...Jiang Wan."

Gu Shen remembered this name in his mind and suddenly said, "Miss Jiang, may I ask where you live?"

"I live in the southernmost part, in the South Bay area." Jiang Wan was taken aback and asked, "Is there a problem?"

South Bay was a famous wealthy area in the city, and it was also a villa area. However, it was remote and sparsely populated, relatively quiet compared to the bustling areas.

Lipu Street, on the other hand, was located in the heart of the city and closer to the prosperous area.

"Just asking casually."

Gu Shen smiled and asked this question... Actually, it was to determine the source of this Transcendent incident.

He remembered what Cui Zhongcheng said on the plane.

If everything went as expected, his every move as a Somniloquist was under the surveillance of Mr. Cui.

If the source of this Transcendent incident was near Lipu Street, then he had to be fully prepared and take it seriously.

Gu Shen asked again, "Do you remember where you went on the first day of your insomnia?"

"I remember... but I'm not sure."

"My daily life is irregular, and the symptoms of insomnia have occurred before, but it has never been this severe."

Jiang Wan supported her forehead and thought for a long time before suddenly exclaiming, "But just the day before yesterday, I seemed to have attended a party with my best friend..."

As she said this, her cheeks turned slightly red, "It's quite a coincidence. Later, we went to the Qingtao Bar near the Jiangtan area, not far from Lipu Street. At that time, I drank quite a bit of alcohol, hoping to fall asleep well under the influence of alcohol... but after the party... I just couldn't fall asleep no matter what..."

Qingtao Bar... Gu Shen silently noted it down.

"Maybe it's just that you've been under a lot of pressure recently." He casually smiled, "Staying up late often isn't good for your health. It's getting late, Miss Jiang, go back and rest well."

"I've been... under a lot of pressure recently?" Jiang Wan's face turned red, and she quickly picked up her bag and said, "I won't disturb you anymore... Thank you, Dr. Gu!"

...

...

After returning home and feeding the cat, it was already around eleven or twelve o'clock at night.

After organizing his thoughts, Gu Shen decided to go to the Qingtao Bar.

The metropolitan area was completely different from Qinghe. It was the most prosperous city in the East Continents.

No matter where you randomly throw a dart on the map of the metropolitan area, it would be a valuable piece of land. Except for the suburban areas, any piece of land you pick would be more prosperous than the core area of Qinghe. At night, countless bars along the riverbank of the metropolitan area would open their doors to welcome guests. Neon lights flickered, and the city reflected the ups and downs of the tide, creating a dazzling and enchanting city that never sleeps.

"Hey handsome, come and play~"

"Do you want to follow each other on social media?"

Gu Shen had a clear and handsome face, with a hint of youthfulness but not weakness. This kind of appearance easily won people's favor. Coupled with his clean and youthful temperament, no matter how he dressed, it was hard to make people tired of him.

Following the principle of low-key, he wore a duckbill cap and black overalls. He just kept his head down and walked, but he still encountered several attractive and long-legged girls who tried to strike up a conversation along the way.

He politely declined.

Putting aside Chu Ling... Gu Shen's mind was now filled with the investigation.

The only clue was the Qingtao Bar. It had been three days since the incident occurred, and it wasn't easy for him to find the source.

"We're here."Gu Shen looked up at the neon sign of the Qingtao Bar.

Originally, he chose to go out at this time because he was worried that if he came too early and there were not many customers in the bar, he would stand out... Gu Shen lowered his hat in silence, looking at the crowded dance floor in front of him, thinking that he was still too young.

With so many people, it would be difficult to find any clues.

There might be a way, but his current mental power might not be enough.

He could only... give it a try.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Shen closed his eyes, and a faint flame appeared at the center of his eyebrows.

In the crowded corner.

A very soft whisper bloomed in the noise.

"...Sidewrite!"

Accompanied by this low shout, the flame suddenly jumped, drilling towards the forehead, as if to melt into the skin and become an upright eye.

All the noise around Gu Shen's ears disappeared, the entire bar was silent, at this moment, his mental power began to consume rapidly, probably dozens of times that of hypnotizing Jiang Wan.

He raised his head, men and women in the dance floor were entwined in oblivion, like a group of demons dancing, the dazzling atmosphere lights turned everything around into hell... But it was strangely quiet, without a sound. After the Sidewrite ability was activated, the whole world became like a deserted area thousands of miles under the Deep Sea.

Gu Shen forcibly traced back a strand of mental imprint from three days ago.

In the vision attached to the flame, he saw a faint shadow, like a beast smelling blood... The shadow was faint and pointed to the bar.
