Chapter 452: Contractor in the Dream
As Mengtong was activated, the scene of the dream changed silently, the surrounding environment became blurred, and the light became dim.
Then a huge hall appeared, and a series of long steps. At the highest point of the steps was a cold chair. The person sitting on the chair was Xia Xiaoyu. Su Ming recognized her at the first sight.
Xia Xiaoyu in the dream looked very young. She sat upright with her hands on her thighs, and her expression seemed slightly distressed and serious.
Standing next to her was a handsome blond man, looking down at the people standing below with a smile on his face.
Just as Su Ming expected, the members of the Mysterious Eye really appeared in Xia Xiaoyu's dream. Now all he had to do was record the faces of these people one by one. These were top-secret information that the outside world could not possibly grasp!
Su Ming saw the blond man slowly lean over and whisper in Xia Xiaoyu's ear. Su Ming floated closer and heard those words - "You can start to sign a contract with them. They will be your new companions."
After the blond man said this, Xia Xiaoyu frowned slightly and her hands on her legs clenched involuntarily. It was obvious that she did not like doing this.
The blond man raised his hand and waved towards the crowd below. Two people appeared in the crowd. They were flattered. They half bent their bodies and ran up the stairs in small steps. Their faces in the dream were blurry and completely unclear, which meant that they were not the protagonists in the dream. Xia Xiaoyu had no impression of them at all.
Then, those people with clearer faces at the bottom of the stairs should be the ones who left a deeper impression on Xia Xiaoyu’s mind. They are most likely the high-level officials of the Mysterious Eye.
Su Ming's eyes quickly swept across those people's faces, imprinting their appearances firmly in his mind.
"Those who share power must not hurt or betray each other. I will give you a power that is unknown to others. Are you willing to accept it?" Xia Xiaoyu's childish voice rang out in the empty palace. The two men kneeling in front of him showed ecstasy on their faces after hearing Xia Xiaoyu's voice.
Of course, they did not really show expressions of ecstasy, and their expressions could not be seen clearly in the dream, but their blurry faces did reveal this emotion. Perhaps Xia Xiaoyu was deeply impressed by the two people's intuitive feelings when they accepted the contract.
"I do!"
"I, I do!"
The two said in unison.
Then, nothing changed on the surface, but the voices of both men showed extremely intense emotions, and they were both very excited.
Xia Xiaoyu jumped down from the cold chair. The followers in the shadows beside her respectfully separated to both sides. A long corridor with gloomy light appeared in front of them. Xia Xiaoyu walked into the corridor with a serious expression, and Gabriel followed closely beside her.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a door finally appeared in front of Xia Xiaoyu. She raised her hand to open the door, and a gorgeous and luxurious room appeared in front of Su Ming.
This was the bedroom where she lived in Mysterious Eye. The floor was covered with a snow-white soft wool carpet, and there were many cute dolls on a huge bed. Opposite the bed was a high-tech TV. On the side of the room near the window was a short desk, and the height of the desk was obviously tailor-made for Xia Xiaoyu.
On the other side of the desk, there is a bookcase on the inner wall and a wardrobe on the other side.
Xia Xiaoyu sat down on a chair beside the bed, and the blond man also sat down on another chair next to Xia Xiaoyu.
Su Ming did not forget that this was Xia Xiaoyu's nightmare. Although Xia Xiaoyu had only shown an unhappy expression so far, she should have begun to feel fear in her heart. What frightened her was either what was about to happen or the golden-haired man next to her.
"You seem unhappy?" the blond man asked gently.
Xia Xiaoyu looked up and glanced at him, then shook her head silently: "No."
The blond man gave Xia Xiaoyu a disdainful smile and said slowly: "You don't want to escape?"
…
Su Ming opened his eyes and woke up from the dream.
The first thing he did after waking up was to turn his head to see how Xia Xiaoyu was doing. Xia Xiaoyu was slightly frowning in her sleep, her pink lips slightly opening and closing, as if she was whispering something. Her body was curled up like a baby, which was a posture she would show when she was very insecure.
Su Ming reached out and hugged the other person. After a while, Xia Xiaoyu slowly calmed down. She didn't know if it was because her body felt safe, which affected the emotions in her dream, or if it was for some other reason, but her tightly knitted brows finally relaxed.
In the dream, time passed quickly, just a short experience of more than ten minutes, but in reality, the gray morning sunlight was already reflected on the window glass.
Su Ming used his dream pupils to observe Xia Xiaoyu's dreams all night, which consumed a lot of his mental energy and made his brain a little tired.
But he had no time to sleep in. He had to draw the appearances of the people in his dream immediately while his memory was still clear.
He got out of bed, dressed and put on his shoes, tiptoed to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a pencil and a piece of white paper, and began to describe the appearances of those people in his memory. Only four people appeared clearly in this dream.
One was the blond man whom Xia Xiaoyu called Gabriel in her dream, and the other two were the only two people in the hall whose faces were relatively clear. They should be the high-level officials of the Mysterious Eye.
As for the last person, he was the person Gabriel introduced to Xia Xiaoyu alone at the end of the dream. That person's situation was very special. He signed a contract with Xia Xiaoyu in Xia Xiaoyu's bedroom, and he did not kneel to Xia Xiaoyu when signing the contract. He did not have the respect for Xia Xiaoyu that other contractors had.
After the contract was completed, the moment that person saw Xia Xiaoyu, Su Ming also saw some curiosity and contempt on the other person's face.
The look was very subtle. Su Ming felt that it was not like the look of someone who gave him power. It was more like the look of someone who was looking at a precious prop that could be used.
He knew that dreams were a projection of Xia Xiaoyu's memories and emotions, so the expressions of those people in the dream could not be fully trusted. The expressions and attitudes of all the people in the dream had been distorted by Xia Xiaoyu's impression.
In other words, what is shown in the dream may not necessarily be their true appearance. If Xia Xiaoyu has some misunderstanding about those people, a good person may become a bad person, and a bad person may become a good person.
Therefore, the most valuable information for reference at present is the conversation content and physical characteristics of the people in the dream.
Of course, Xia Xiaoyu’s impression of them is also very important, but compared with the other two types of information, its priority is slightly lower.
Su Ming's sketching skills are very advanced. He had been practicing in order to prepare a gift for Xia Xiaoyu, and he didn't expect that it would come in handy this time.
The tip of the pencil made a rustling sound as it rubbed against the paper. He kept recalling his impressions of those people and modifying .
The gray sunlight outside the window gradually brightened, the clear chirping of birds and the sound of flapping wings came in, and it was daybreak.
Su Ming often sighed, looked at the four sets of words in front of him, checked them once, and nodded with satisfaction.
Although it is not a 100% restoration, it looks pretty realistic and can be used as data for collecting intelligence.
He took photos of the four paintings and sent them to Sylvie and Liu Lingshan, telling them that these people should be the internal members of the Mysterious Eye.
The first person to reply was Sylvie. Judging from the time period, Su Ming guessed that the other party must have been working overtime all night.
[I will investigate. Have you sent this to the deputy director? ]
[Sent.] Su Ming replied.
[Very good, don't send this kind of thing to her in the future. You can just tell me directly except for reporting the results. She never does this kind of thing that requires effort by herself.]
【knew.】
Su Ming replied .
The minister is really miserable. He is treated like a tool by his master and ordered around everywhere.
But this is the class structure of society. Isn't the captain just a pure tool in the hands of the minister? So the minister is not particularly pitiful.
…
Perhaps because of the nightmare, Xia Xiaoyu slept until noon and woke up with disheveled hair and a confused look on her face. After , she sat there for a long time until Su Ming returned to the room with lunch. Only then did she come to her senses.
"I feel like I had a dream." Xia Xiaoyu said, pulling her messy hair.
"It's time to eat." Su Ming put lunch on the bedside.
When Xia Xiaoyu saw Su Ming bringing her lunch, she was deeply touched and felt extremely happy. Before she met Su Ming, she had never dared to even think about someone bringing her lunch. It was a special service that could not be bought even if she emptied a bank's vault.
Although Xia Xiaoyu lived a life of luxury when she was in Mysterious Eye, she has completely forgotten those unhappy days after hanging out with Su Ming for these days.
"Honey, you are so good to me." Xia Xiaoyu said in a coquettish voice.
Su Ming's expression froze, and he didn't know what to say.
Xia Xiaoyu noticed this subtle change. She raised her eyebrows and smiled slyly, "Are you not used to me calling you that? You should get used to it sooner rather than later. I think it feels good to call you that, so I plan to call you that from now on!"
"Whatever you want, hurry up and put on your clothes and eat."
"What are you afraid of? No one can see me anyway, so what if I go out on the street like this?"
"Put down your lunch box, put it on and eat, or I will ignore you."
"Oh~ You're throwing a tantrum again, so cute." Xia Xiaoyu teased while putting on clothes obediently.
Su understood the other party and said, "Xiaoyu, you should also have a sense of crisis. Now you know that there are many people in this world who can see you, so you should have a sense of crisis. Although those people will not hurt you, they are not good people. You have to be careful of them."
"I know, I know! I will be obedient! Okay~ Let me see what you brought me. I don't think you saved the money, did you?"
"They are all the most expensive signature dishes bought from the most distinctive local places. Don't worry, I know you are used to eating good food and don't like ordinary things." Su Ming said casually.
Xia Xiaoyu opened the lunch boxes one by one, and a rich aroma hit her face. The taste of delicious food and the care of her lover made her instantly forget the unpleasantness when she just woke up. She opened her chopsticks and began to wolf down the food without any restraint.
Su Ming looked at Xia Xiaoyu who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and eating heartily. He thought this guy was so cute. He didn't look like a girl at all, but he was a real girl.
Because no one can see her, this girl's thoughts and actions are sometimes as naive as a newborn baby, but her brain is so flexible and smart, and she is very reliable when helping others, and never falls behind. Such Xia Xiaoyu has a wonderful appeal.
"Are you fascinated by me?" Xia Xiaoyu glanced at Su Ming with a wicked smile, licked the sauce on her fingers, and said with a smile, "Only you are allowed to see me. Isn't it romantic?"
Su Ming was just thinking about saying something flirty when the phone in his hand dinged and a new message came in.
Liu Lingshan: [Where did you get this? ]
There was also a photo attached, which was one of the photos Su Ming sent. It was a photo of the person who appeared last and made a contract with Xia Xiaoyu.
【Any clues?】
[He used to be an S-class psychic, but later died. He is now an S-class specialist. 】
Seeing Liu Lingshan's reply, Su Ming frowned, realizing that the matter was not simple. The content of this text message contained a lot of information!
He used to be an S-class psychic, but later died. However, after his death, he is now an S-class specialist. Does this mean that he was posthumously awarded the title?
Who was this person, and what did he do, to be posthumously named an S-Class Specialist?
There are only thirteen super-powerful people in the four major alliances who have this special honorary title of S-level Specialist. They are at the same level as Liu Lingshan.
Even people like this are in the mysterious eye, so the situation is indeed very tricky.
The depth to which the mysterious eye has eroded this world may be much deeper than he had initially imagined, and Su Ming felt even more depressed.
“Ding Dong!”
Liu Lingshan immediately sent another text message: [It’s quite troublesome to explain. I’ll give you two copies of the information first. You’ll know after you read them.]
Then, within a few seconds, two attachments appeared in Su Ming's mailbox, which were the resumes of two people.
The names of the two documents are "S-Class Wanted Criminal: Chen Yi Jue" and "S-Class Specialist: Alfred".
The names of the people in the two documents are different, and their titles and status are also very different. One is a wanted criminal who is being hunted, and the other is a widely respected S-level commissioner.
In the dream, the man's appearance had Asian features. According to the rules, his name should have Chinese characteristics, but the title at the beginning of the document proved that the latter document was the file of the mysterious man, and the former was a completely unrelated person.
Is there any relationship between Chen Yijue and Alfred? Why did the master send the documents of unrelated people?
With such curiosity, Su Ming clicked on the first file: "S-level wanted criminal: Chen Yi Jue".
After half a second of loading, the document expands.
At the top of the resume is a photo of this S-level wanted criminal.
The man in the photo looked exactly like the contractor Su Ming saw in his dream!
