"Rabbit doll?"

Tang Qingquan frowned, not understanding why Gu Shen suddenly asked about this.

"I saw a very important piece of information in Zhou Ye's new dream, there is a rabbit doll named 'Dora'... If I'm not mistaken, Zhou Yu died in search of Dora." Gu Shen said slowly, "Was this rabbit doll found at the scene?"

"No."

"In fact, the power of the explosion was very strong, and there were no clues left at the scene... That's why the ruling department's verdict concluded that this accident had nothing to do with the Transcendents. As for the rabbit doll... You should also know that dreams are just a reflection of the subconscious, and the items that appear in dreams may not necessarily exist in reality."

The chief justice shook his head.

"In the case file, there is no mention of Dora or the rabbit doll."

He was puzzled, "And you said this was seen in Zhou Ye's new dream? After Zhou Yu's death, we immediately sent a specialist to hypnotize Zhou Ye and read her dreams... but the final result was that her dreams were empty. We had hoped to find some information from her, but we got nothing."

It happened again.

Hypnosis again...

The mental Transcendents of the ruling department did not gain anything.

But he saw something different in Zhou Ye's new dream.

Gu Shen fell into thought, was it because of his special fiery nature? Or was it that Zhou Ye's pocket watch had sealed secrets from others, but had opened up to him?

According to Tang Qingquan's description, young Zhou Ye was not at the scene of the explosion at all, and the scene he saw in the dream was of a girl holding a rabbit doll standing alone at the edge of the burning villa, watching people come and go.

He was not sure what Dora and the rabbit doll meant.

But what he could be sure of was that every item in the dream... could not have appeared out of thin air. Everything has a cause and effect, and if Zhou Ye had no knowledge of the clues to this case, how could she have been so determined to embark on the path of exploring dreams?

"Alright, let's talk about the fog incident on Yuan Dan Street..."

Cui Zhongcheng tapped the table.

"After testing the fog samples in the old city area, it was confirmed that the fog contained Transcendent elements that erode the mind... If this fog were to spread, half of the old city area would be affected. Judging by the level of danger, this is enough to be classified as a high-risk B-level task."

Cui Zhongcheng smiled at Gu Shen and said, "Truly worthy of the 'S-level' of the ruling department, the hope of the East Continents... Awakening your Transcendent abilities just a month ago, and already completing a B-level task on your own."

Gu Shen shook his head slowly and said seriously, "This task was not completed by me alone... Hu Danian also made a significant contribution."

He was very clear.

The danger level of a B-level task is determined based on the degree of harm... This fog is extremely harmful to ordinary people, but for Transcendents, especially for someone like himself with a "mental" ability, the harm comes too slowly, and is just eerie.

As for the only resistance in the task.

Shi Li.

It was most likely a bait thrown out by the owner of the compass, arranged as a pawn to present the compass to himself... If he couldn't even pass the test of Shi Li and died on Yuan Dan Street, then he naturally wouldn't deserve to continue in the game of that blood and fire master.

"Regardless... you saved a lot of people."

"The only regret is that before the awakening decree was issued, the survivors in the old city area will not know that there was a fog that was snuffed out in its cradle, and you are the hero who saved them."

After listening to Gu Shen's description of the compass owner, Cui Zhongcheng unconsciously used words like "hero" and "saved."

As he said this, a faint smile hung on his face, "Congratulations, Gu Shen, you have truly passed the S-level assessment of the ruling department."

Gu Shen was stunned.

"We have decided to grant you the title of 'Arbiter.'"

Cui Zhongcheng adjusted his monocle and said softly, "There are a total of three chief justices and eighteen arbiters in the ruling department, but due to your special status... we will follow Zhou JiRen's proposal, and you will not be called upon to participate in the tasks of the special operations group."

If he remembered correctly, after joining the ruling department and passing the probation period, he would become a probationary arbiter.

Senior Sister Luo had told him that the task of a probationary arbiter was probably... to patrol and deal with very few Transcendent events. If it wasn't for very bad luck, he would basically not encounter any Transcendent events above the D-level.

These kinds of Transcendent events could be handled by those with power below the third level of the Deep Sea.

The term of office varies from person to person, and if there are no major mistakes, probationary arbiters can be promoted.

Did he... skip the probationary period altogether?

"Wait a minute... what is the special operations group?" Gu Shen asked."The three pillars of the East Continents Council's judicial system are the 'Court', 'Prison', and 'Command'... Deep Sea assigns daily patrol tasks to the transcendent individuals of each of the three institutions. However, in the event of certain special emergencies, a 'Special Operations Team' will be specially formed."

The Chief Justice explained, "Since you are being arranged to handle special tasks, there will be no weaklings in the Special Operations Team. They are mostly young elites with both talent and strength, and their initial assessment level upon entering the institution will not be lower than B."

Gu Shen suddenly had a foreboding feeling.

The era of big data in Deep Sea.

Do I have to obey Deep Sea's arrangements and be assigned teammates when carrying out transcendent tasks?

"Do I have to... obey the arrangement?"

Gu Shen felt a headache and said, "If there is a special event, I must join... the so-called Special Operations Team?"

"You seem to like to work alone."

The Chief Justice glanced at Gu Shen and smiled, "In fact, every transcendent individual has their own style of carrying out tasks... Some outstanding geniuses prefer to work alone, but it was Zhou JiRen's suggestion to have you join the Special Operations Team for the next transcendent task."

What is this old guy up to?

He should know that I have the "Ruler of Truth" in my hands, which is not convenient to expose.

"Don't worry, you are S-level. The teammates that can match you are at least A-level. There are very few A-level individuals who can be found, and the tasks that can alarm you probably won't occur more than twice a year."

Tang Qingquan said lightly, "Didn't you see it? Zhou JiRen is finding ways to let you focus on practicing in the Court... The assessment task has ended, and from today, you don't have to go to the Oracles anymore. There is a practice ground prepared for the transcendent individuals of the three institutions in the basement of the Hua Zhi Building. After unlocking the S-level assessment, Deep Sea will gradually lift the restrictions on you."

Is this old guy's idea?

Gu Shen still had some doubts in his mind.

Based on his understanding of Zhou JiRen... this proposal is not that simple.

But for now, this proposal is in line with his own intentions.

...

...

"Little Gu, you finally came, come and help~~"

Zhou Xin was carrying a large basket of paper documents, rushing out of the narrow staircase and bumped into Gu Shen.

Gu Shen was slightly startled.

He came to the Oracles to bid farewell.

But today, the Oracles seemed to be closed. Several burly men in home clothes were coming and going, moving sofas, office supplies, and a medium-sized box truck was parked not far away.

"Is... this a relocation?" he asked unconsciously.

Zhou Xin was full of sweat, but there was a smile on her lips, "Yes, yes, our business is getting better and better... so we can move to a bigger place."

"A bigger place?"

"The new store is... over there!"

Zhou Xin put a large basket of documents into the truck, reached out, and enthusiastically pointed to the street corner of Lipu Street, "We don't have to squeeze in a small space anymore. We have an independent storefront, a main room for entertaining guests, and several soundproofed compartments with excellent sound insulation. I have also prepared a small independent office for you."

Gu Shen opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

He came to bid farewell to Little Xin, but she seemed to be unaware of it. Did Mr. Tang not tell her about his leaving the Oracles?

The whole relocation was completed in about twenty minutes.

Finally, Gu Shen carefully placed the display screen in the corner of the truck, ensuring that there were no remaining items in the small shop at 18 Lipu Street.

He finally spoke.

"Little Xin, I came today to bid farewell."

This time, it was Zhou Xin who was stunned when she handed a wet towel to Gu Shen to wipe off the sweat.

Before Gu Shen could continue speaking.

She murmured with emotion, "The internship... is over so soon. Mr. Tang told me that it would probably take about half a year."

Zhou Xin also noticed Tang Qingquan, who was waiting silently in the distance.

She was a bit slow to realize that Little Gu had come to bid farewell to her, and she must have felt very embarrassed to hear such words from him.

"Dr. Gu, don't feel like there's anything difficult to say..."

She took a deep breath and said seriously, "Congratulations, go to the next destination. You should go to a higher and farther place... I sincerely feel happy for you."

Looking back on the time Gu Shen spent at the Oracles.

Zhou Xin felt it was unbelievable... the small clinic had undergone earth-shaking changes in the short time he was there.

This is a young man with unlimited potential.

This is a young man who should stand in a higher place.

"But..."

She smiled as she said this."I'll always keep that office for you, and I've kept all those pennants. I even made you a personalized badge."

Zhou Yexin took out a badge.

Gu Shen, followed by two characters: Doctor.

When Gu Shen took the badge, a chord in his heart was gently plucked.

Tang Qingquan said to Zhou Yexin.

He was just an intern.

"In my heart, you're no longer an intern..."

Xiao Xin Jie smiled and said, "You're amazing, truly amazing."
