Light Barrier Novel Chapter 36

Light Barrier - Chapter 36: Miracle

On the rainy night, the black car drifted to a stop at a street corner.

Nan Jin glanced at her phone and said, “Senior Brother has obtained information from the assessnt team. Gu Shen, your assessnt topic has been decided. It’s Dream Decipher.”

“Dream Decipher?” Gu Shen was puzzled. “What is that?”

“There are many dreams similar to Jingzhe stored in the Adjudication Bureau,” Nan Jin explained. “Humans condense their ntal power and engrave it onto certain items, and then these items possess the ability of Dream Induction. Once soone touches them, they will fall into a dream. Dream Decipher refers to freeing yourself from the dream on your own, just like how you comprehended Jingzhe. It took you four hours and thirty-nine minutes to complete the Dream Decipher of Jingzhe.”

“Is that so…” Gu Shen nodded in understanding and asked curiously, “Then, are those objects… transcendental sealed objects?”

“… Not really. It depends on the strength of the dream carried by the object. So weaker ones can only make ordinary people yawn, while the remnants of strong dreams can easily crush a person’s mind, and even ntal-type transcendents will find it difficult to resist them,” Nan Jin explained while narrowing her eyes and carefully observing the surroundings for any suspicious people. The parking spot was not far from Gu Shen’s apartnt.

Han Dang had arrived in Oto City faster than them.

However, this man was extrely cautious and wouldn’t take action directly. Most likely, he was observing the surrounding environnt.

“It seems the assessnt team ca prepared. Based on your performance in comprehending Jingzhe, the assessnt the day after tomorrow doesn’t look optimistic,” she said softly. “Teacher has already arrived at Oto. He’s coming to see you later.”

Nan Jin opened the car door, took out a key, and led Gu Shen into the elevator across the street from his apartnt with familiarity. After reaching the top floor, she swiped a card to open a door. Gu Shen was surprised. “Senior Sister… is this your place? We live so close?”

“Yes,” Nan Jin replied casually, not bothering to elaborate. After entering the apartnt, she went straight to the bathroom. Due to the rain, her clothes were wet, and her shirt was clinging tightly to her body, revealing her curves.

Clang!

After closing the door, through the dim yellow light in the bathroom, Gu Shen saw a blurry and graceful figure. Nan Jin was taking off her shirt. He noticed earlier that this white shirt was really tight, so it seed a bit difficult to take it off…

“ow!” The orange cat in his arms scratched Gu Shen discontentedly. He imdiately woke up and turned his head away.

See no evil, see no evil. Gu Shen silently chanted in his mind. Then he asked awkwardly, “Senior Sister… isn’t this inappropriate?”

“What’s inappropriate?”

The sound of dripping water stopped. Nan Jin said calmly, “Before the assessnt results are confird, your safety can’t be guaranteed. I have to be in a position to monitor you at all tis. If you accidentally lose control, I need to be ready to take action imdiately and leave your corpse intact.”

Gu Shen: “???”

He accidentally uncovered sothing incredible.

Gu Shen hurriedly carried the cat to the balcony and drew back the curtains. He suffered a huge blow.

This apartnt was directly opposite his apartnt. Moreover, it was above, providing a clear view of his apartnt. With Nan Jin’s sharp eyesight, she should have a full view of his activities.

In that case, when she was sunbathing on my balcony that day, was she choosing a suitable residence?

Evidently, this apartnt had been prepared specifically to monitor him.

“Are you kidding ?” Gu Shen turned his head to look toward the bathroom, furious. “Do I still have human rights? From this angle… can’t you see

when I’m showering?”

The voice abruptly stopped.

After a quick shower, Nan Jin walked out, wrapped in a white towel. She was holding her hair in her hands and had a snow-white jade hairpin nestled between her lips. She glanced at Gu Shen calmly. “If you don’t want to be seen, rember to close the curtains next ti.”

The snow-white hairpin lifted her long red hair.

She disappeared into the dressing room, and her voice drifted out from inside. “This place has beco the best spot to monitor Han Dang. If he wants to ‘visit’ you, he will be exposed to our sight. We only need to wait here.”

Gu Shen instantly wilted. He sighed. “You’re right…”

Half an hour later, Nan Jin reerged in a different outfit. Gone was the gentle elder sister from before, replaced with the familiar trench coat and saber holster. She was like a sharp saber ready to be unsheathed at any ti. After placing her fingers on the hilt, her entire body beca sharp, making people not dare to look directly at her.

“Senior Sister, you look really…” Gu Shen saw Nan Jin’s cold glare. He quickly raised his thumb and praised earnestly. “… mighty and majestic.”

“Teacher is about to arrive.”

Nan Jin gave a rare explanation. “Besides, even when I’m not on a mission, I don’t usually have the habit of wearing casual clothes. Today’s visit to the orphanage with you was an exception.”

Perhaps because she had seen Gu Shen’s file, her heart was feeling a bit soft.

She had seen that returning to the orphanage was very important to Gu Shen.

She hadn’t wanted to ss this up.

Pretending to be Gu Shen’s school senior while wearing a combat suit and carrying a saber would have been too inappropriate.

“Thank you,” Gu Shen said sincerely.

After an entire day of bustling about, the silly cat had already curled up in his arms and fallen asleep lazily. It must have been exhausted from running around all day.

Chu Ling had already disconnected.

The orange cat let out a low purring sound from its throat.

Gu Shen gently put the cat down. He thought for a long ti and said softly, “Actually, if the assessnt the day after tomorrow is Dream Decipher, my results may be quite good.”

He was very honest about it. “I think I should be able to pass.”

But Nan Jin couldn’t understand where Gu Shen’s confidence ca from. “As the assessnt, Dream Decipher should be considered a blessing amidst misfortune.”

She glanced at the sleeping orange cat, lowered her voice, and said with a hint of headache, “Compared to other aspects, your ntal power is indeed your strong point. But you have no idea how difficult it is to achieve an S-grade evaluation in Dream Decipher. Based on the nearly five hours you spent in Jingzhe, it’s almost impossible to deal with the challenge posed by the assessnt team.”

She glanced at her watch.

It was already past midnight.

Just one more day until the assessnt.

“Especially since there’s less than a day left… Unless a miracle happens…” Nan Jin sighed anxiously for soone. She looked at Gu Shen and saw his calm expression. She felt frustrated by his failure to et her expectations.

How could he be so worry-free?

She didn’t understand.

Actually, it only took

fifteen minutes to decipher the Jingzhe Dream, Gu Shen murmured inwardly.

“But Teacher is a very magical person. He always manages to create miracles.” Nan Jin comforted Gu Shen. “Once he arrives, he will surely have a solution.”

Just as she finished speaking…

Outside the window, at the end of their sight, a speeding car appeared. It raced through the rainy night, splashing countless droplets of water along the way. Then it drifted, swerved its tail, and stopped neatly downstairs.

The old man in a tunic suit got out of the car and imdiately looked up, locking his gaze on the apartnt where Gu Shen was.

Mr. Tree revealed a warm and gentle smile.

And for so reason, the mont Gu Shen saw him… he could unmistakably feel sothing settling in his heart.

This feeling was called reassurance.
