Volume 1: The World of Dreams Chapter 1: The Strange Woman
Bang –
Bang –
Bang –
In the dead darkness of the night, a strange and regular sound came from the sky.
"Where's the voice?"
In Thames Water Town, in an apartment facing the street, Chen Mu suddenly woke up. When he heard this voice, he was immediately confused, and his heart was even more inexplicably anxious: one part was dull, two points depressed, three points irritable, and four points throbbing...... In short, it's chaos!
Listening closely, he felt more and more that something was wrong.
The sound was like the breath of a demon, the slightest bit of anger made people panic, it was like the pace of death, the sound made people tremble, and it was more like the heart drum of the earth, and the rhythm of the landslide was terrifying.
This voice came from afar and went back and forth.
He had a premonition that something big was about to happen, but unfortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, he still had no clue.
Suddenly, a white light flashed outside the house, and it must be raining. He subconsciously glanced at it, then turned his head sharply to look again, and then threw himself directly to the floor-to-ceiling window.
The glitter illuminates the whole outside: in the middle of the enclosed Gothic building is a soft meadow with cedars and green banyans growing on the ground. At this time, a fairy in white was running across the grass towards the apartment.
It's not a dream!
It is impossible for a dream interpreter to dream, this is a well-known theorem of the Azure Star. As a dream interpreter, Chen Mu is very aware that the vision in front of him is absolutely real.
But, how can there be such a desperate person in the world?
It was obviously night, but the night could not hide her beauty: faint eyebrows and delicate paintings, gentle eyes, long hair carved by the breeze, and a face carved by snow jade......
Her posture was curling, her clothes were fluttering, and she was obviously not in a hurry to prepare, and she hurriedly went down to the mortal dust.
She runs, running like she is dancing, dancing under the starlight and moonlight, among the spring breeze and flowers.
Yes, she must have run out of a dream!
I don't know which genius can depict such an unbelievable fairy in his dreams!
Knock Knock –
I don't know when, a knock on the door on the first floor pulled Chen Mu back. Secretly saying evil, he went downstairs in his pajamas.
It is not the scene outside the house that is evil, but his own physical reactions: shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, these are the changes that ordinary people can only have when they encounter true beauty, and they should not appear in a dream interpreter.
However, it is the one who knocks at the door that is even more wicked.
"Sorry to interrupt!"
The light opened the door, and the girl's apologetic voice sounded. Chen Mu glanced at it, it was the gentle fairy, leaning on the edge of the darkness to make people feel pity. He retracted his gaze and frowned slightly: why did that kind of heart throb appear again?
"You're looking for me?"
"Are you a dream interpreter?"
"Ma'am, with all due respect, you should be looking for the Bureau of Unnatural Phenomena or the Bureau of Civil Reconstruction to register your identity, and I can't help you. ”
"You may be mistaken, I'm from the Azure Star, it's going to rain, I want to take shelter from the rain here, is it okay?"
The girl smiles, which makes people feel comfortable like a spring breeze.
Chen Mu's brows furrowed even tighter: the other party's identity is suspicious, his behavior is suspicious, and his reasons are even more suspicious, how can there be such a beautiful woman who finds a single man to spend the night in the middle of the night?
Looking around, there was no sign of being pursued, and the girl did not seem to be in a panic when she was being pursued. For a while, Chen Mu was in a dilemma, how to reject the other party without affecting the image of his store?
Yes, this is where Chen Mu works. He was supposed to graduate as an intern, but instead of looking for another job, he used his talent to continue to run the dream house he had opened for two years.
As a professional dream interpreter, refusing a guest who comes to your door for help for no reason is not only a violation of professional ethics, but also not allowed by national law.
Boom –
Chen Mu was still hesitating, and suddenly a thunderclap ran through the dark sky, and a heavy rain poured down. The girl was obviously frightened, but still kept smiling and waited for Chen Mu's answer.
"I'm sorry, but we don't offer accommodation. ”
The girl's smile froze, and she quickly showed her face again: "Then if I want to interpret dreams, can I come in?"
"Of course you can, please inside!"
The rain was too heavy, and it would be too rude to drive people away, so Chen Mu had to put on a smiling face and welcome the girl in.
The girl entered the door and looked around, the room was very simple, with a total of two bedrooms and a living room, and a roundabout staircase leading to the top. Needless to say, she also knew that the living room was the place where Chen Mu was mainly active, one room was used to place items related to his work, and the other was used to interpret dreams for guests.
After pouring a cup of hot water for the girl, Chen Mu sat on the opposite side of the coffee table and stopped talking, he knew that the girl had no need to interpret dreams, and just wanted to wait for the rain to stop and see if he could persuade the other party to leave.
- His natural vigilance tells him that this girl is unusual and that he will definitely have trouble approaching her.
"Giggles, is that how you usually greet guests?"
After not seeing Chen Mu make a sound for a long time, the girl couldn't help but laugh and joke. seemed to feel that Chen Mu was not in danger, so he sat directly beside him with a water cup in his hand and approached to speak.
"You can't do this, shouldn't all dream interpreters be able to speak?"
The fragrant wind around him and the soft whispers in his ears led to a tremor in Chen Mu's heart that he had never felt before. This feeling is very bad for a dream interpreter, and it is even a catastrophe!
"Seeing the smile, I'm a relatively silent person, and I only work according to the dream interpretation process for the guests. ”
"How can there be a dream interpreter like you, and the guests are not scared away by you? You are a service industry, and you must have the least service attitude. ”
Chen Mu smiled without explanation, and sat away inadvertently. Seeing this, the girl was not happy, put down the water cup and pulled Chen Mu's arm, and said angrily: "Wood pimple, I'll teach you a few tricks, it's your reward for taking me in!"
Chen Mu locked his eyebrows, and was about to say something, but when he looked up, he was greeted by a picture that made his bones crisp and soulful: a bright and charming face, smooth and clean skin, warm autumn eyes in spring, red lips and delicate eyelashes...... Every inch made him powerless to resist.
"Actually, I'm not very good at it, so I can learn from each other!"
The girl's whisper was like a warm spring breeze, melting thousands of mountains and snow. In an instant, Chen Mu lost all his defenses, and the next moment, he fell into the Wen Sea......
————
"How...... Will it be?"
At the end of the night, Chen Mu woke up from the bed, and his surroundings were already empty, but there seemed to be the fragrance of a woman in the air. He checked the inside and outside of the house with a hesitant mind, and there was no sign of anyone coming except for the wind chimes on the edge of the bed that had fallen to the ground due to intense movement, and the unclosed windows of the balcony.
Everything happened too suddenly, too unexpectedly, too evil! Chen Mu's mind was so confused that he couldn't even remember the woman's face.
It is said that the willpower of a dream interpreter is only half a point inferior to that of a dream master of the same level, and it is impossible to be easily moved by any temptation, but last night...... Forget it, think it's a dream!
The rain was still falling outside, and there were signs of stopping, and a few empty thunders echoed from time to time, like the unwilling roar of an old beast.
"Could it be that grandpa's enemies sent it? But what will she gain by doing this, except for herself? Even if there is video evidence, she can't threaten anyone!"
Chen Mu looked out the window in a daze, thinking about the possible cause of the accident, and his heart was a little more worried: that girl, no, who is that woman, what is her purpose? Why couldn't she resist, did she have special means, or did her willpower disappear......
The rain is lighter, pedestrians and vehicles are busy on the streets, and the fresh world gradually hustle and bustle after the rain.
Chen Mu still didn't understand after all, it was not too early to see the time, so he had to shake his head to clear his mind and regain his spirits: Today, he still has something to go back to school.
The reason for going back to school made him lament: to retake the course!
What made him lament even more was that he still studied the subject most seriously and diligently, because he hit someone in a hurry for the exam, and he couldn't enter the exam room because he was late.
And what he lamented the most was that this discipline had been banned this semester, and he could only take other related professional courses to offset it.
So, from that day on, he no longer believed in fully automatic self-driving systems.
With a thousand thoughts in his heart, it was difficult for Chen Mu to focus on other things. In a daze, I didn't know how to enter the classroom, so I sat in the corner of the first row as always.
Until, a figure in a white dress appeared.
It turned out to be the woman who came last night, holding a book in one hand and a suitcase in the other, and stepped on the bell to enter the classroom with a look on her face.
"How did she end up here?"
Seeing the visitor, Chen Mu's mood became more complicated, trying his best to guess the other party's possible means, and secretly thinking about various countermeasures.
However, the other party didn't seem to see him and walked directly onto the podium.
"Hello students, I will be your international politics teacher for the next semester......
In fact, from the moment the teacher walked through the door, no one could hear the sound anymore, and the whole world had disappeared from their perception.
In an instant, one-third of them felt their hearts surge, and it was clear that a stream of blood surged all over their bodies and rushed to their heads. The mood was extremely high and he wanted to take the case, and then pointed to the sky and assured the teacher that he was destined to fail this course in his mission, but he would never skip class regardless of natural disasters and man-made disasters.
At the end of the whole class, the students were not distracted in the slightest, and they were completely immersed in the fairyland woven by the teacher's face and natural sound. As for what was said, no one understood, including Chen Mu.
Chen Mu was also absent-minded because of the teacher's appearance, but his attitude was diametrically opposite, he wanted to tell other students who were confused by his appearance: This person is not worthy of being a teacher.
Even, Chen Mu did not hesitate to guess with vicious thoughts that this woman must have made some kind of dirty deal when she became a university teacher at such a young age.
But what does all this have to do with him? He's just a guy who gets out of class for the sake of credits!
Adjusting his mentality, Chen Mu automatically filtered the teacher to listen attentively, and he didn't notice that the disgust in his heart was mixed with too much jealousy, and he was jealous that he was admired by others last night!
In three consecutive classes, Chen Muke carved like sitting on pins and needles, and in the midst of all kinds of suffering, the bell for the end of class finally rang in a different world.
From birth to the present, he discovered for the first time that the bell for the end of class was so beautiful and pleasant.
"Chen Mu, can you do me a small favor?"
Chen Mucai got up, and the voice that hit his soul came directly. Without hesitation, he was about to refuse fiercely, when he suddenly noticed the envious and even flattering glances of other classmates.
He knew that for himself, for others, and for the sake of the school spirit, he had to warn this teacher well!
"Teacher, you are too polite, just tell me anything!"
Chen Mu replied with a smirk, but the woman smiled sincerely.
"Help me move this box of books to the third floor of the Talent Building, can I do it alone?"
"Of course, a small problem!"
Chen Mu smiled and took the handrail of the box and walked towards the Yingcai Building under the leadership of the woman.
This classroom is not far from the Talent Building, separated only by a man-made lake, and you can also take a shortcut from the willow-shaded path by the lake. However, before he arrived at his destination, Chen Mu couldn't help but speak.
"There's no one here, so let's get straight to the point. ”
"Huh?"
The woman turned her head in shock, very puzzled by Chen Mu's sudden change of face. Because of the beauty from childhood to adulthood, some troubles are inevitable, but thanks to this, she has never been cold. Before thinking about it, she chose him to help because Chen Mu's eyes were the clearest among the students in the class.
