Lipu Street, No. 17.
The crooked plaque is engraved with the dim characters "Sleep Talker".
Enter along the narrow passageway. After going up the stairs, your sight suddenly opens up. The office environment here is unexpectedly spacious and very clean. When you enter, you can see a huge floor-to-ceiling window. The curtains are drawn to both sides. In front of the window There is a long mahogany table, with separate booths on the left and right sides that look very soundproof.
The sun shines down at noon.
Zhou Yesin, who was sitting at the table, frowned and looked at the boy holding the cat in front of her. She already knew that the teacher would send a young intern to be her assistant, but she didn't expect that the assistant would be... so young.
"Name……?"
Familiar questions, familiar recipes.
Gu Shen quickly pulled out the chair and sat down, and announced his door in a familiar voice: "Gu Shen, seventeen, male."
"Male... of course I know." Zhou Yexin was stunned and said with a strange expression: "You are the intern recommended by the teacher. You look too young. Are you qualified for this job?"
Gu Shen sat upright, and the file of the person in charge of the Sleep Whisperer slowly emerged in his mind.
Zhou Yexin, twenty-nine years old.
An ordinary person without any extraordinary abilities.
What is admirable is that she went to Central Continent when she was eighteen years old and studied psychology alone for seven years. After returning to East Continent, she began to devote herself to the study of dreams. She traveled to many places and finally came to Dadu, with the support of Tang Qingquan. Opened such a consulting room.
What is even more admirable is that so far, this Miss Zhou is completely unaware of the existence of "extraordinary beings", but she is following her own intuition... to explore the secrets of the extraordinary realm.
She looks very young and friendly, not nearly thirty at all. When she smiles, she looks like a squirrel, showing white teeth with shallow dimples on both sides.
This kind of image is very suitable for this industry, and at least it will give people a relaxed feeling.
"Ms. Zhou... I actually don't know what I want to do yet." Gu Shen scratched his head and said with a sincere smile, "But I learn very quickly, so you can rest assured."
"Ms. Zhou calls people too old. Just call me little new sister. I heard the teacher mention you. He said you are very smart, very talented, and self-taught."
After Zhou Yexin took a few more glances at Gu Shen, he felt that this young man was handsome and handsome, and the more he looked at him, the more comfortable he became.
She poured a cup of tea for Gu Shen and said slowly: "I'm just a little worried... At your age, if you haven't experienced hardship, it's easy to think about things too well. When you actually do things, you will find that they are completely different from what you imagined. different."
"Our work is not easy. Normal business hours are from nine in the morning to five in the evening. If there are special appointments, we will work overtime."
Gu Shen held the tea and listened quietly to the new sister's words.
"In addition, you need to collect and organize experimental reports on a regular basis, but you don't have to worry about this. You only need to be responsible for organizing the reports and entering them into the library. You are not responsible for the specific experiments."
At first, Gu Shen almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Nine to five?
"No problem……"
After hearing this, he quickly took a sip of tea to calm down his shock, and then said seriously: "I can bear this pain..."
More than just edible?
It's almost a done deal.
…
…
In the following week, Gu Shen had a very fulfilling life.
He rented a one-bedroom apartment near Lipu Street and lived alone. The environment was much better than the one in the suburbs, but it was far inferior to the apartment in the city center "gifted" by Nan Jin. In fact, Gu Shen was no longer short of money. From the moment he boarded the plane and confirmed his official mission, the tribunal would pay him a living allowance of 100,000 yuan after tax every month.
Cui Zhongcheng explained the rank divisions within the adjudication office on the plane. After the newcomers pass the review, they will be trainee adjudicators. If they complete a certain number of tasks alone and pass a certain number, they will be promoted. The next stage is adjudicator.
Next is the trainee adjudicator, the adjudicator.
The last thing is...the only big ruling by this person so far.
The patrol scope of the trainee judge's jurisdiction is probably one or a few streets... Gu Shen consciously included "Lipu Street" and several nearby streets within his scope of supervision.
Cui Zhongcheng said that his internship was an inspection.
The most troublesome thing was this silent inspection. Gu Shen felt like a player sitting on the card table, but the opponent had not yet played a card.
The best way and the only way.
Stay still and wait for action.
Therefore, Gu Shen'an peacefully followed his own spiritual practice plan and completed his daily practice. Everything went smoothly. He would arrive at the consultation office on time at 8:30 in the morning, organize and summarize the experimental data half an hour in advance, and leave after get off work. All the time was spent conducting extraordinary trials in the deep water area and practicing the Jingzhe Breathing Technique.
He knew that there were no shortcuts on this road.
You can only work hard.
In addition to these trivial matters, Gu Shen also noticed something worthy of attention... This small psychological clinic is actually quite famous in Lipu Street. Perhaps it has something to do with Miss Xiaoxin's operation in the past six months. Every week There will be many customers leaving reservations.
These clients come in all shapes and sizes, but they are all normal people, including lovelorn young people, bankrupt and decadent business owners, and stressed-out salarymen... Before entering the clinic, they often look gloomy, but they are obviously much better when they leave. It can be seen that the whole person's complexion has improved significantly.
Is it hypnotism?
But... Zhou Yexin doesn't have extraordinary abilities. How did she do it?
This was the ninth day since he came to Lipu Street. While sorting out the files, Gu Shen glanced at the clock. It was eight-twenty. Well, I have a special appointment today... I should get off work in forty minutes.
In the past nine days, Xiaoxinjie has not allowed herself to sit in once.
What happened in the compartment... was quite mysterious.
"Xiao Gu, help bring a cup of hot water in."
There was a sound coming from inside.
Gu Shen knew that the "psychological consultation" was over.
He knocked on the door with hot water, and after receiving a positive reply, he slowly pushed open the compartment.
This time the guest was a young girl who looked to be about the same age as herself. When she arrived, her face was haggard and there were obvious tears, but now her expression was much more relaxed, but her eyes were hazy, as if she had just woken up.
Zhou Yexin was arranging his clothes, and this detail was captured by Gu Shen... He saw a young lady putting a pocket watch into the inner pocket of her clothes, and felt a familiar atmosphere in the room.
"It's an extraordinary sealed object... but its aura is very weak..."
Compared with the sealed artifacts brought by the five members of the review team, they were far different.
Sister Xiaoxin’s secret seems to be this pocket watch... If it is an object with extraordinary power, then my suspicions can be explained.
Gu Shen's expression did not change at all. He pretended not to notice and entered the room with two cups of hot water, one for each person.
"Thank you..." The girl's expression was gentle, but her voice was hoarse. She took a small sip of hot water, and then said softly: "Thank you, Doctor Zhou, and thank you, Doctor Xiao Gu."
Guests who come here are accustomed to calling Doctor Xiaoxinjie... There is no problem with this title. After all, Zhou Yexin is a powerful person who returned from studying abroad in Zhongzhou.
As an intern, I got some glory and was called a doctor by the way.
Gu Shen was a little uncomfortable at first, but now he's used to it.
During this period of time, he tempered his mental strength and vaguely felt that his blazing power had gradually stabilized. It shouldn't be long before I can use "mental hypnosis" on my own.
This is actually the reason why Gu Shen can accept the title of Doctor Xiao Gu with peace of mind.
Who says a practicing psychiatrist can’t be considered a doctor?
