Light Fortress-Chapter 68 - 66 Immersion

68 -66: Immersion
According to Deep Sea’s data survey, the most beneficial sleep duration for human health is about eight hours per day.
If one does not rest or sleep for a long time…
They will quickly become unable to concentrate, their thoughts will be jumbled, followed by heart failure, and eventually sudden death, with the physical limit for most people being approximately three days.
Of course, these data only apply to ordinary people; all scientific data cannot be applied to Transcendents.
Clearly.
This lady had reached her own limit of collapse.
After three days and nights without sleep, she could no longer even articulate a complete sentence…
It was only with Gu Shen’s support that she reached the chair and closed her eyes.
But that was just closing her eyes.
Closing her eyes did not mean she fell asleep.
“I…
can’t sleep…”
After the lady closed her eyes, her voice trembled and she struggled to say, “It started three days ago…
No matter what…
I can’t sleep…”
Who would have thought that the greatest nightmare is being unable to dream?
“Mm…
don’t worry, I’m here.”
“Close your eyes, clear your mind.”
The voice of Gu Shen was gentle, he squatted beside the chair, tenderly calming her emotions, and gradually a small but fiery flame burst through the center of his forehead.
This appearance of Fiery Fire Power was starkly different from before.
This strand of flame silently began to tremble violently.
“There’s a trace of Extraordinary Aura…”
Gu Shen narrowed his eyes, his expression growing solemn.
He tried to project his spiritual power through the Fiery Fire Power.
“Ssssss~~~”
The Fiery Fire Power emitted a faint sound.
Gu Shen felt that his current state was somewhat strange…
It was as if he had opened a third eye.
He saw a bigger and more vast world.
Or rather…
this was the real world!
When spiritual power was projected through the Fiery Fire Power, all things and people that came into view were dissected and separated—
Is this the unique “eye power” of the Spiritual Extraordinary?
Yet, this method was consuming his spiritual power, Gu Shen speculated that as the Fiery Fire Power grew stronger, the world he could see would become larger, and the spiritual power consumed would also increase.
Currently, this consumption was nothing.
Thanks to the continuous cultivation of the Jingzhe Breathing Technique these past few days, Gu Shen’s spiritual power was well-refined and plentiful.
He carefully inspected the lady from head to toe.
She was an ordinary person, and unlike Sister Xiao Xin, she didn’t carry any sealing item…
The current insomnia was probably not caused by incorrectly wearing a sealed item.
“Affected by Extraordinary Power…
leading to loss of sleep…
If a cause cannot be found on a physical level…
perhaps an answer can be found in the ‘dream’,” Gu Shen pondered for a moment and silently concluded, “I need to hypnotize her, force her into a dream, and look for the truth there.”
In fact, from the first glance at her.
Gu Shen had already considered things more important than hypnosis; this type of insomnia patient wasn’t hard to treat, he had already awakened Extraordinary, and with Fiery Fire Power backing him, it would only take a second to let her sleep peacefully.
But the really important thing…
was to find the source.
This could be confirmed as an Extraordinary event.
Perhaps this was also part of Cui Zhongcheng’s assessment of him?
During this minute of contemplation, the compartment was silent.
Respecting his instructions, the lady kept her eyes closed, but after waiting for a minute, she finally couldn’t help but say weakly and trembling, “Dr.
Xiao Gu…
I still can’t sleep…”
“You may open your eyes now.”
Gu Shen’s thoughts returned to the present.
Hearing this voice, desperation surfaced on the lady’s brow.
She had thought she had met the right person…
but now it seemed that Dr.
Xiao Gu probably also had no solution…
She slowly opened her eyes, the incandescent light on the ceiling was dazzling, and after dozens of hours without sleep, the whole world seemed to be spinning.
And it was at that moment.
The lady felt she was having a severe hallucination.
She seemed to see a strand of Fiery Fire Power appearing on the brow of Dr.
Xiao Gu.
Brighter than the bright lights.
But not dazzling; instead, it was very gentle.
“Buzz.”
All the noisy sounds of this world disappeared, leaving only Gu Shen’s gentle and deep voice.
“Sleep peacefully…
you will have a good dream.”
The woman on the recliner closed her eyes again.
Her depleted spirit finally found rest, and she slept deeply, accompanied by soft murmurs in her dreams.
The young man sitting quietly by the side, stood motionless beside the chair, like a statue.
…
…
In the boundless darkness, Gu Shen opened his eyes.
He stood amidst ultimate darkness, with cold, howling wind blades coming from all directions, seemingly about to shred him completely.
“Successfully entered the dream.”
Gu Shen’s expression remained calm; it was his first time using hypnosis and the first time he used Fiery Fire Power to enter someone else’s dream.
It was different from that time with Han Dang.
The Fiery Fire Power had just begun to take shape; he had not yet unearthed abilities like domains…
in other words, Gu Shen had not yet completed the construction of his dream territory.
That time at the orphanage, he was forcibly pulled into Han Dang’s Truth Domain.
This time, however, it was more of a voluntary “immersion.”
“A common person’s dream, so cold and dark…
This must be a terribly bad nightmare.”
The dreadful state of this dream indicated that her spirit was on the verge of collapse.
If she hadn’t met him, or someone with special hypnosis abilities.
This noblewoman, I’m afraid…
had slim chances of good fortune.
Gu Shen stretched out his fingers, slowly clenching his hand, and a string of flames tore through the darkness, roared as they danced, and finally transformed into a floating lantern, illuminating the dark dreamscape.
Frost and wind blades were driven away from the circle of light and fire beneath Gu Shen’s feet.
“In the dream…
the power of Fiery Fire is stronger than I had imagined.”
Gu Shen clenched his fist, feeling the fluctuating spiritual power, “Indeed…
my Extraordinary Traits tend to lean more toward the Spiritual type.”
He breathed out slowly.
The Fiery Fire swirled and spread, and the ring of light gradually enlarged.
Gu Shen spoke softly; he wanted to spread his light as much as possible…
to see this dreamscape more clearly.
“Spread.”
At his command, as if decreed by a deity.
The intense fire light surged like a tide, turning into a sea, and completely tore apart the pitch-black night, burning it to ashes.
At this moment, the woman lying in the recliner had a flush of rosy redness appearing on her face, and her cold body gradually began to warm.
In the midst of the towering inferno, the nightmare was torn open to reveal the truth.
Gu Shen looked up, his expression darkening.
Amidst the numerous flames, at the top of this nightmarish world, clouds were dense, tinted blood-red by the fire tide…
vaguely showing a nose, eyes, and sharp teeth.
It was a human face.
Or rather, the face of an evil ghost.
The clouds above the nightmare world hung extremely low, blood-colored and fierce, with the evil ghost’s face opening its lips as if it wanted to swallow the heavens and the earth alike.
If he wasn’t mistaken…
with the arrival of this evil ghost’s face, the dreamscape would eventually be completely overturned and devoured, at which point the host’s spirit would also collapse.
If this was some remnant spiritual imprint left by a sealed item…
Then the nature of this sealed item was too malevolent; how could an ordinary person withstand it?
He took a deep breath.
Gu Shen recalled the scene of slaying ghosts in the Ghost Cage that day.
At that time, it was thousands of evil ghosts, and he had slain them all.
Having seen the true Hell, he would not fear evil ghosts.
He stretched out two fingers, aimed at the giant ghostly face in the sky.
In his mind, he silently recited a word.
“Slay—”
His two fingers slowly traced a line.
The dreamscape violently trembled, the night fragile as paper and instantly torn apart into pieces.
In the final moment, the face of the evil ghost seemed to reveal shock, astonishment, and a mix of complex emotions, but it was just a moment before, along with the dark clouds, it was split in half.
