Because of the blazing fire.

At this moment, Zhou Xin was already in a semi-hypnotic state.

Tang Qingquan changed his sitting posture, listening attentively, and glanced at Gu Shen with the corner of his eye... Hypnosis is the most basic method of spiritual manipulation.

Transcendents who can apply psychological suggestions have many judgments, but when investigating the case, this hypnotic method was of no use at all.

But why... can Gu Shen's psychological suggestion work?

This kid's ability is indeed beyond ordinary people.

"That was... a very long afternoon."

Zhou Xin fell into reminiscence, murmuring softly, "I took Dora out, but there was an accident... I lost Dora."

Speaking of this, she saw the old photo... her eyes flickered.

This time the blazing fire was very gentle.

Gu Shen did not impose a strong hypnosis.

He just slightly applied a little assistance... if Zhou Xin didn't want to say, he didn't want to force her, because of the pocket watch, and because he had personally experienced the pain of that dream.

Obviously.

The old photo on the table touched the deeply buried painful memories in her mind.

"Old Zhou said, 'Help me buy another one.'"

Zhou Xin paused for a moment, she touched the man's face in the photo, her voice hoarse, "But at that time, I was not sensible, I cried and refused to agree, I must bring Dora back..."

"The streets and alleys were full of notices, half a month passed, and there was still no trace of Dora, no news at all... at that time, I actually knew that Dora was probably not coming back."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

Reality is indeed different from dreams.

In that dream, the time span was probably just an afternoon... the man and the girl crossed several blocks, but it was also at that time that the color of the dream gradually changed.

The color of the dream represents the emotions of the person involved.

From hope, it turned into despair.

"Later, I fell seriously ill... the illness was not light, I was confused, I couldn't tell when I was asleep, when I was awake, what was real, and what was false. It was in this painful dream that I saw Dora had died, lying in a pool of blood, her body cut open."

"Father held my hand and ran a long, long way before finding Dora. I cried a lot, so my father told me to close my eyes, and Dora would come back safely."

"I closed my eyes in the dream... and when I woke up, the dream was over. Dora really came back. She was lying next to me, as if she had never left."

Zhou Xin's voice was already choked up, "But father... has left forever."

"I have always felt... it was my willfulness... that killed Old Zhou. If I hadn't gone to find Dora, he wouldn't have had an accident..."

Her voice became lower and lower.

"It's ridiculous... right... this is my dream, and also the tragedy in reality..."

"Dreams come true, who would believe it if I said it?"

She looked at the two of them, and all she got was silence. Judge Tang Qingquan sat silently on the sofa, sipping his tea in small sips, not saying a word.

Little Gu was the same, bowing his head in silence.

...No.

It's not like this!

At least... I would believe it!

Gu Shen said so in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.

After a long silence.

Gu Shen spoke softly, comforting, "Xiao Xin, it's just a dream, accept the reality, don't blame yourself..."

...

...

"How do you see this dream?"

After leaving Zhou Xin's residence, Judge Tang went straight to the point.

He brought Gu Shen to Zhou Xin's house, just to see if this S-level newcomer from the Judgment Hall could make any progress in this long-sealed old case.

And to confirm his own evaluation of Gu Shen.

Now it seems that his decision was very correct... at least on this trip, he had to change his previous opinion of Gu Shen.

"Zhou Xin is probably the person who was present at the explosion."

Gu Shen said seriously, "I suspect her memory has been altered."

"Memory altered?"

Tang Qingquan raised his eyebrows. Altering memories is not difficult, and transcendents in the spiritual field can all do it, but the difficult part is, after altering the memory, how to not be discovered by others?

Invading the spiritual sea is like climbing a vast snowy mountain, the visitor is bound to leave traces.

And the later arrivals will see the footprints of the former.

It's not easy to deceive the high-level transcendents of the Judgment Hall.

"And it's precisely because of her description of the dream... that I am even more convinced that Zhou Yu's case is not that simple."

Gu Shen said in a deep voice, "Do you remember? The group of lunatics from the Longevity Foundation, each of them had the seed of a mental explosion planted in their minds! The real person controlling these believers must be a transcendent who is proficient in the spiritual field, and of extremely high rank!"

"Mm..."

The judge lit a cigarette, indicating for Gu Shen to continue, "Go on.""Since it's a psychic powerhouse, achieving this isn't entirely impossible. The reason I believe Zhou Yexin's memory has been altered... is because she was the sole witness in that dream. Erase her memory, and the final clue vanishes."

Gu Shen explained to the Chief Justice.

He didn't mention... the biggest reason for this speculation was that in Zhou Yexin's dream, his Transcendent Blaze had resonated with the "Blood Fire" of the Compass Director. The Blaze represents the eradication of Transcendent and chaotic psychic powers, and the fact that the Blood Fire could attract it so strongly... suggests a high probability of it being a psychic force.

"A plausible reason," the Chief Justice commented. "It sounds more like an intuition."

"But the intuition of a Transcendent is often very accurate, isn't it?" Gu Shen smiled.

Tang Qingquan shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"What really puzzles me... is Dora's return."

"According to the dream, Dora was dead, her abdomen cut open. What kind of deity is Zhou Yu, to revive a dead life?" Gu Shen chuckled bitterly. "You were Zhou Yu's contemporary; do you know his Transcendent ability?"

The Chief Justice shook his head: "Zhou Yu was extremely powerful, and like you, he preferred to work alone, a reclusive fellow. A near S-class Judge, his records are strictly protected."

Gu Shen's eyes flickered for a moment.

There were some details he hadn't shared with Tang Qingquan... like Sister Xin's pocket watch, a keepsake left to her by Zhou Yu, retrieved from Dora's stomach in the dream.

Gu Shen didn't tell the Chief Justice.

In the dream, under the encouragement of the Blaze, Zhou Yexin revealed much, yet still hid some "secrets."

Everyone has secrets.

That pocket watch must be the key to Dora's resurrection... Gu Shen speculated that Zhou Yu's ability was very likely related to "time."

"I can't prove that the owner of the Blood Fire was involved in this case... As you said, the case files are as clean as snow, without a single flaw," Gu Shen said. "But likewise... no one can prove that the mysterious Compass Director didn't interfere, because the case files are too clean."

Too perfect is also a flaw.

The Chief Justice hummed in silence.

He had already believed in the existence of that mysterious Compass Director mentioned by Gu Shen...

The dream Zhou Yexin spoke of today was the evidence.

Back then, so many psychic Transcendents failed to unearth this dream, leading to the hasty closure of the Zhou Yu case, ultimately buried in dust.
