The one who entered the room was Qu Shui.

The girl rubbed her eyes and asked cautiously, "Dr. Xiao Gu, were you also sleeping?"

The room was dark, with only a desk lamp, and Gu Shen was in a sleeping position, looking like he was dozing off.

His legs were still a little sore and unresponsive... Gu Shen tried to stand up, but immediately gave up after a try. He continued to maintain his current posture and smiled, "I was organizing files and forgot about the time... Can you turn on the light for me, Xiao Xin?"

"She's still resting."

Qu Shui turned on the light, and the light fell, revealing a slightly rosy complexion on her pale skin. She sat on the chair nervously and whispered, "This is the best sleep I've had in the past few days... Dr. Xiao Gu, I think you're even more amazing than Xiao Xin!"

Gu Shen smiled, "It's just a psychological effect, don't take it too seriously."

"Um..."

The girl lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, as if brewing something. After a few seconds, she gathered her courage and said, "Dr. Xiao Gu... Do you have time tonight?"

Gu Shen was taken aback.

"Last time... Actually..." Qu Shui's voice became smaller and her face turned redder.

Gu Shen finally remembered.

Last time, Qu Shui said it was getting late and she didn't dare to walk alone at night.

Xiao Xin said she lived near Lipu Street, not far away... Not daring to walk alone at night was probably just an excuse.

She wanted to be alone with him.

Gu Shen wasn't a fool. At this point, he probably guessed Qu Shui's intention.

Sure enough.

"I don't know... If you have time tonight?" Qu Shui's fingers intertwined, her cheeks blushing, "I want to invite you to dinner as a way to express my gratitude."

"Sorry..." Gu Shen pondered for a moment and politely declined, "I might be busy."

In fact, he was about to finish work, and there were no special appointments today.

But there were too many things happening, and Gu Shen wanted some time alone to sort out his thoughts.

"It's okay, I can wait for you." Qu Shui raised her small face and said seriously, "I can wait no matter how late it is."

Gu Shen felt a headache coming.

"By the way... What about that strange uncle from this afternoon?" Qu Shui suddenly asked.

Hearing this question, Gu Shen silently thought to himself.

Actually, that uncle... is right in front of you, but he's invisible to the naked eye.

Qu Shui rubbed her little head and said, "I just remembered that I've seen this strange uncle more than once... I saw him before at the riverside."

"Oh?" Gu Shen's eyes lit up, becoming serious, "Do you remember when you saw him last time?"

Perhaps this could become an important clue for him to investigate the Longevity Foundation.

Qu Shui made an effort to recall, and after a while, she looked at Gu Shen with a serious expression and said apologetically, "I can't remember some parts... Is it very important to Dr. Xiao Gu?"

Gu Shen felt a little disappointed. He thought for a moment and said, "What about the specific location of the meeting?"

If he could determine the approximate range, he could use "Side View" to capture some clues.

"Well..." Qu Shui tilted her head and smiled cunningly, "I may need to think about it carefully. If Dr. Xiao Gu accompanies me for a walk by the riverside... maybe I can remember."

So she was waiting for him here?

Gu Shen found it somewhat amusing and helpless at the same time.

This girl was scheming, not as simple as he imagined.

"Alright, I'll accompany you to the riverside... But I have something to do tonight, so you might have to wait for a while." Gu Shen looked at his watch and said in a deep voice, "If you mind, we can postpone it to tomorrow."

"Of course I don't mind!"

Upon hearing this response, Qu Shui's face lit up with joy, and she immediately agreed.

Then her voice became smaller again, "I... I... I'll go back first and change my clothes... Dr. Xiao Gu, I'll wait for you downstairs!"

...

...

When Zhou Yexin woke up, the wall clock hanging on the wall was striking the hour.

She sat up and rubbed her forehead, looking at her pocket watch, feeling a headache.

"Five o'clock... Damn it... Work's over..."

What happened to her today... She slept until twelve noon, returned to the clinic, and continued sleeping until five in the afternoon... And even now, she still felt drowsy. She estimated that she could sleep through the whole night when she got home.

Was she being haunted by a sleep demon?

However, what was incredible was that after she woke up from the afternoon nap, she felt much more relaxed.

But the sleep last night was terrible, as if her body was overdrawn.

Zhou Yexin rubbed her temples. Her body now felt comfortable, and the feeling of being overdrawn had completely disappeared, but she was a little tired.

She turned her head to look at the next room. The light in the adjacent compartment was still on.

Gu Shen hadn't left yet.

...

...When Zhou Yexin pushed open the door, Gu Shen was listing the common features of the insomnia cases on Lipu Street and the Qinghe fire incident on a piece of paper. He was trying to find some characteristics of the Longevity Foundation in these two cases... In the corner of the paper, there was a large circle enclosing the words "Jiangtan serial murder case".

Gu Shen slowly drew a question mark.

After doing these, he looked up and smiled, saying, "Miss Zhou... You finally woke up?"

Gu Shen had been waiting for her to wake up.

Because he had just awakened his Transcendent abilities, his mental hypnosis was not yet proficient.

It was more than enough to deal with ordinary people.

But for someone like Miss Zhou who possessed a "pocket watch", it might not be possible to completely erase her memory. If Zhou Yexin still retained memories similar to the blazing fire after waking up, according to the rules of the Tribunal, he should hypnotize her again to ensure she forgets the relevant details and avoid subsequent troubles.

He had probably figured out how to handle the situation.

If she still retained related memories, he would use the blazing fire again to turn this day into an ordinary one in Miss Zhou's memory.

This was a good opportunity to figure out the details of the pocket watch, which was a Transcendent item after all.

But what happened next was beyond Gu Shen's expectation.

Zhou Yexin sat directly in the guest seat and took out the pocket watch with Transcendent aura from her bosom.

"Little Gu..."

"There are some things I really want to tell you, I don't know if you will think I'm crazy."

She thought for a long time, then slowly said, "Do you know? In this world, there are some things... that cannot be explained by science."

Gu Shen could only remain silent.

In his silence, he didn't even pretend to show surprise or astonishment. He just silently stared at her, thinking that it was necessary to hypnotize Zhou Yexin for the second time after today's conversation and erase all related memories.

"I'm glad you didn't think I was crazy..."

Seeing Gu Shen's serious listening response, Zhou Yexin laughed at herself. "Perhaps this is why Mr. Tang sent you to help me... You and him are both inscrutable."

"Seeing the scene on the second floor today, I suddenly realized that I had underestimated you. The experiment reports these days were all organized by you. If it were anyone else, they would think my experiments are absurd and ridiculous. But you were too calm, which is not the calmness someone your age should have."

"Little Gu."

At this point, Zhou Yexin lowered her head.

"This afternoon, I saw... the fire in your brow."

Her gaze rested on the dial of the pocket watch, where a pointer was jumping back and forth, ticking and tocking at a scale.

"Can you tell me... what that is?"
