"Ding Ling Ling -"

The third round of the alarm clock rang at half past twelve, and Zhou Yexin just woke up from her dream. She yawned and struggled to turn off the annoying ringing sound that had vibrated many times under her pillow.

Sunlight poured in from outside the window, and it was already noon.

What the hell?

She actually slept for twelve hours... and she still felt tired.

Zhou Yexin tried to wake herself up, quickly washed up, and arrived at the Sleep Whisperer clinic close to two o'clock... She had a vague feeling that something was not right when she climbed the stairs. The upper floor seemed unusually lively today.

"Dr. Xiao Gu, thank you... Thank you..."

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a grateful expression, shook Gu Shen's hand tightly. "You are truly incredible... I haven't slept for several days... I've prepared a thank-you fee of ten thousand yuan, a small token of appreciation, please accept it."

In addition to this man, there were several other customers in the second-floor compartments... Three or four of them were lying down without any movement, while one or two were sleeping in a wild manner, snoring like thunder.

Zhou Yexin was completely stunned, even suspecting that she had come to the wrong place.

What is going on?

"Excuse me, please make way."

A wealthy woman behind her urged impatiently, carrying a bag and lifting her skirt. She hurriedly climbed the narrow stairs in her high heels, and when she saw Gu Shen, her face immediately blossomed with a smile.

She took out a bright red scroll from her bag... and then unfolded it with a swish.

"Dr. Xiao Gu, this is the banner I ordered last night... It arrived today." Jiang Wan smiled and said, "What do you think? Can it be hung here?"

Zhou Yexin was dumbfounded.

After most of the people dispersed, Gu Shen pulled Zhou Yexin aside and found a relatively quiet place to be alone. He explained concisely.

"After you left last night, we had some patients come to the clinic... and this morning, several more came... I didn't expect you to oversleep today, so I received them first... That's basically what happened..."

After listening, Zhou Yexin remained stunned for a minute.

It took her a long time to digest Gu Shen's words... and then she looked at him with a complicated expression.

"You mean, several insomnia patients suddenly came... and you cured them all... Do you know hypnosis?"

"Well... I guess you can say that..."

Gu Shen whispered to himself, "But my hypnosis is not the same as the psychological hypnosis you understand."

"In short... everything has been taken care of."

He didn't tell Zhou Yexin about the group insomnia situation.

Gu Shen didn't know... that in Zhou Yexin's eyes now, he was already a monster-level rookie.

Zhou Yexin couldn't help but hold her forehead and silently complain.

How is this an intern?

If she opened a psychological clinic next to him, wouldn't it be like stealing his business?

And all the people who received banners came in just one night.

"Not bad... not bad..."

Zhou Yexin smiled and said, "I've hit the jackpot."

Although her mood was somewhat complicated, overall she was still quite pleased.

She came to the main hall, looked at the banner, checked it, adjusted its position, and sighed, "Dr. Xiao Gu, the master of healing. The slogan on this banner is concise, but upon closer inspection, it seems to have a deep meaning..."

Gu Shen finally noticed the slogan on the banner sent by Jiang Wan.

He was stunned and his expression became strange.

He helped Jiang Wan retrieve her lost dream... If this was considered healing...

"Huh."

Gu Shen suddenly frowned, staring at Zhou Yexin's back, his eyes becoming more serious.

There were signs of trembling in his spiritual power.

The same transcendent aura as the insomnia patients appeared on Zhou Yexin...

"Sis," Gu Shen asked, "Did you go back with Qu Shui last night?"

"Yes..." Zhou Yexin was taken aback and said, "She lives near Lipu, and I gave her a ride."

"On your way, did you encounter any strange person?" Gu Shen gestured, "Wearing all black, wearing a hat, tall and thin, hunched back."

"Ah..." Zhou Yexin rubbed her temples and smiled bitterly, "Now that you mention it, it seems like we did encounter someone like that. It felt familiar, but there were so many people, there should be quite a few dressed like that. I didn't sleep well last night, so I don't know if my memory is accurate."

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Shen already had a rough guess in his mind.

Zhou Yexin didn't suffer from insomnia last night, but her sleep was disturbed... most likely due to the pocket watch she carried, which resisted the gaze of the stone sculpture.

But she was still an ordinary person, encountering a seal, and had been left with a mark.

"Why are you asking this?" Zhou Yexin turned back to look at Gu Shen and complained in a low voice, "Being asked like this, it feels a bit scary..."

At that moment she turned around.

She saw a flicker of brilliance on Gu Shen's forehead.

"What is this..."

Zhou Yexin's gaze became somewhat trance-like, and the pocket watch in her possession thumped, causing her momentary confusion to dissipate.

After treating several insomnia patients in a row, Gu Shen felt resistance during the hypnosis stage for the first time... Zhou Yexin's spiritual power was obviously stronger than theirs, and coupled with this seal, it seemed to be protecting her.

"Rest assured and enter the dream. I am not a bad person."

Gu Shen softly spoke, and his voice contained his own spiritual power, with a hypnotic effect.

This sentence, rather than being spoken to Zhou Yexin, seemed more like it was spoken to the pocket watch.

Thump.

The pocket watch no longer resisted.

Zhou Yexin slowly closed her eyes, sat on the chair with Gu Shen's support, and fell into a deep sleep.

Removing nightmares, erasing the mark.

Incidentally, absorbing a strand of transcendent arche from the seal.

Gu Shen smoothly performed this series of operations. After absorbing several strands of transcendent arche separated by the stone sculpture, Gu Shen felt that his fiery power had increased by nearly ten percent.Although it was only as thin as a strand of hair, it was still a pleasing progress.

Little Miss Xin should still need to sleep a bit longer.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

After finishing all these, Gu Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to rest... there came a knock at the door.

"Another insomniac patient has come to visit..."

Gu Shen opened the door, only to be taken aback.

A delicate and weak little girl stood there, looking pitiful and pale, with dark circles under her eyes.

"Qu Shui?"

He didn't expect Qu Shui to return so soon.

"Doctor Little Gu... I... I'm here for another treatment..."

Qu Shui's voice was choked with sobs, "After the last treatment, my condition didn't improve... I couldn't sleep at all last night... Can you help me?"

Gu Shen stared at the girl. After three to five seconds, he sighed, "Come in."

The girl, like a small animal afraid of being abandoned, carefully stepped in upon hearing Gu Shen's words.

Just as Gu Shen was about to close the door.

A thin yet powerful hand suddenly reached out from the crack of the door, holding onto the gap.

A hoarse voice came through.

"Can you... take a look at me too?"

Qu Shui hid behind Gu Shen, carefully clutching the corner of his clothes, looking at the door, her face suddenly turned pale.

Unbeknownst to them, a thin, hunched man was standing outside the door.

He was dressed in all black, with a very low brimmed hat, making it impossible to see his face.

His voice was dry and hoarse, squeezed out from his chest.

"I... can't sleep either..."
