Jiang Shaoxu grabbed Mu Ningxue, who was about to get up.
"Brother...I've found the dragon, you don't need to go..."
Two streams of tears welled up in Jiang Shaoxu's eyes and dripped onto the pillow.
“What is she doing…” Nan Rongni walked in cautiously.
Mu Ningxue shook her head; it was the first time she had ever seen Jiang Shaoxu like this.
Optimistic, carefree, almost as carefree as Mo Fan—that's how Jiang Shaoxu is in front of everyone. It's hard to imagine that such a sad expression would appear on her face now.
"you're awake?"
Unable to find any clues, Mu Tingying returned to the temple and looked at Mu Ningxue, who had fully recovered, with a somewhat unnatural expression.
How wonderful it would be if this little bitch just stayed asleep and never woke up!
"She was also bewitched?" Mu Tingying looked at Jiang Shaoxu, who was lying silently crying beside her.
“The captain said she was drunk,” Nan Rongni said.
"Where is the captain?" Mu Tingying asked.
"It seems they went to the back mountain with Nan Jue," Nan Rongni said.
"They said they were going to clean up a mess..."
"No! No! You bastard! I don't want it anymore!"
Jiang Shaoxu, who had been crying silently just a second ago, suddenly shouted, interrupting Nan Rongni and the others' conversation.
"What kind of dream is she having?" Mu Tingying asked with a strange expression.
Why is she crying one minute and cursing the next? Now she's crying and cursing at the same time.
“It must be a mixture of many dreams,” Nan Rongni said.
"Her mental strength is very strong, so the dreams she forms in her mind are more realistic and complex. However, under normal circumstances, mental mages don't dream..."
In normal cultivation, the stronger a mage's spiritual power, the more stable their spiritual world becomes. Dreams, on the other hand, are a negative effect resulting from an instability in one's spiritual will.
When a monk is breaking through a barrier, the obstacles ahead are too great, and his complex thoughts are mixed together. He will recall his own memories and look for a way to solve the problem he encountered back then. This is what people often call "a revolving lantern".
A mage with strong mental power also has a stronger soul, so they almost never experience a dream revolving around a time capsule, and dreams that can be called a "mini revolving lantern" are even less likely to occur.
For psychic mages, dreaming can be very dangerous, because the dreams constructed by their powerful mental energy are so realistic that they may mistake the dream for reality and be unable to wake up. Some people may even develop a dependence on their dreams.
"Should we wake her up?" Mu Ningxue asked.
"I'm not quite sure either." Nan Rongni looked at Jiang Shaoxu, whose emotions were shifting back and forth.
"Her spiritual realm is quite high, and she can construct dreams in her mind very quickly. In the few seconds we talk, her consciousness may have already spent two or three days in her dream. Her body's reaction cannot keep up with her brain, which is why this happens."
"But I don't know what kind of dream she's having now. Some dreams formed from sensitive memories cannot be interrupted, otherwise it will cause confusion in her memory."
Spiritual healing is extremely difficult because it involves the soul; one wrong move and you could turn someone into an idiot!

……
"Let's wait for the captain to come back," Nan Rongni said.
"He should have a way."
"I'm going to find him." Mu Ningxue tried to stand up, but Nan Rongni quickly stopped her.
“You were just possessed, and your soul and body are still unstable. You cannot move around for the time being,” Nan Rongni said.
"..."
"Okay, okay, I'll go."
Feeling uneasy under scrutiny, Mu Tingying turned and walked away towards the back of the mountain.
Before long, Ai Jiangtu and his group, who had gone to gather information, returned to the temple.
Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mu Ningxue wake up. Luckily, nothing bad had happened, otherwise even his status as her brother-in-law wouldn't have been enough to protect her!
"We need to leave here quickly," Ai Jiangtu said.
"What's wrong?" Mu Ningxue asked, puzzled.
Everyone looks very nervous.
"Something's happened," Mo Fan said.
"All the monks in this temple are dead."
"And he died a horrible death," Jiang Yu said.
"When we found those monks, they had already been discovered by the locals. It won't be long before the Magic Association comes to the temple to investigate."
"We need to leave quickly, or we'll be in trouble."
“That’s true, but we’re unregistered right now, so how do we get there?” Li Kaifeng said.
"We can't just walk all the way there, can we?"
“We don’t speak Japanese either. They can tell we’re foreigners as soon as we open our mouths. If we walk a few steps and run into someone checking our ID, we’re done for in no time,” Zhou Xu said.
"What should we do then?" When faced with anything other than fighting, Mo Fan could only stare blankly at each other.
“I think…” Nan Rongni said weakly.
"Shall we wait for the captain?"
……
After packing their bags, the group boarded the train to Osaka.
After being comforted by Lü Cheng, Jiang Shaoxu fell into a deep sleep.
Zhao Manyan didn't get such good treatment. He was slapped twice across the face by Mo Fan and, looking completely bewildered, boarded the train.
"How...how did you buy the tickets?" Zhao Manyan finally came to his senses.
“Of course it’s the all-powerful captain,” Mo Fan said.
"You forgot, he can hypnotize."
"Hypnosis?" Zhao Manyan looked puzzled.
"Then what about before him..."
Why should they be asked to stay overnight in that dilapidated temple?
"Don't think of hypnosis as something so simple," Jiang Yu said.
"The duration, effects, and information implanted during hypnosis are all very complex. For example, back at the port, he dismissed those policemen with just one glance. You could interpret that as him short-circuiting their brains and making them forget about it."
"But if instructions are added during hypnosis, it becomes a huge undertaking, which not only increases the difficulty infinitely, but also makes the effect worse and worse."
"If it involves manipulating the other person's body to carry out specific activities, the difficulty is on another level. Moreover, ordinary people's minds are very fragile, and they can easily break down if they are not careful."
"So complicated?" Mo Fan looked puzzled.
"You don't actually think hypnosis is like in those adult movies, where you snap your fingers and someone will obediently listen to you, do you?" Jiang Yu said.
"Have some common sense, okay? First of all, hypnosis is extremely difficult. Even the professional mind mages supported by the military and the magic association can only do some simple hypnosis."
"Secondly, have you forgotten the rules of the Magic Association?"
"It is forbidden to use magic on ordinary people." Mo Fan's eye twitched slightly.
"Then let's..."
"So keep your mouth shut," Nan Jue said.
"If the Magic Association finds out about this, we will be disqualified from the competition. Moreover, mind mages with hypnotic abilities will be under close scrutiny by the Magic Association and the Hunter's Alliance."
Hypnosis requires an extremely high level of control from a mind-based mage. Even professional mind-based high-level mages in the military need time to prepare before they can cast complex hypnotic spells. Moreover, hypnosis is a high-level spell that requires connection to constellations and involves a lot of noise!
Lu Cheng hadn't shown any signs of using magic at the station, yet the other party had already prepared the tickets for them...
“That wasn’t hypnosis.” Lü Cheng opened his eyes.
Mo Fan looked puzzled, "Then how come you..."
"Playing with magic too much has atrophied your brain? Who told you that everything can only be solved with magic?" Lu Cheng said.
Zhao Manyan thought for a moment and asked, "Then the ticket seller should be a woman, right?"
Mo Fan turned around. "How did you know?"
This guy was still a bit dazed when he went through security.
"Around thirty years old?" Zhao Manyan asked again.
"How did you know?" Mo Fan asked, completely bewildered.
“A woman, in her thirties.” Zhao Manyan’s expression was subtle.
