Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

Shang Muchen was unaware that he was trembling. He even completely lost his sense of body for a time, leaving only a fleeting, dreamlike visual perception.

Coming to my senses, I looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window with the naked eye and couldn't see the underground passage of the Y-shaped viewing platform on the other side of the Xiaoqing River, or even the small streets on the ground.

J Cafe is located on the 35th floor. From this height, the cars look about the same size as the boxed toy cars sold in supermarkets, let alone people. It's impossible to see their faces clearly.

Rubbing his eyes, Shang Muchen asked Liu Qingyang, "Was I shivering just now?"

"Absolutely!" Liu Qingyang said seriously, "At first I saw you standing by the window in a daze, and not long after, you started shaking. I thought you were having an epileptic seizure, it scared me to death!"

Are you alright?

"It's nothing, I don't have epilepsy, I'm probably just tired from standing..."

"Nonsense. Would you shake like that if you were tired from standing? It looks like you've been electrocuted."

Liu Qingyang helped Shang Muchen sit back on the sofa. Shang Muchen stretched his arms and legs to show that he was fine.

"I want to go down and take a look," Shang Muchen said, gesturing towards the window. "I just saw some graffiti in the underpass, a black dragon drawn on it, which I find very strange."

Liu Qingyang craned his neck, looked out the window, and laughed, "Are you using a telescope? How could you possibly see something so far away?"

"It's alright, since you want to go, let's take a stroll. Anyway, Boss Ai is out today, so I have plenty of time to spend with you."

The two left the Zhedao Building and strolled slowly along the banks of the Xiaoqing River, browsing some small shops. With a relaxed mindset comparable to that of lifeguards in an Olympic swimming competition, they walked along the riverbank all the way to the underground pedestrian passage.

Passing through this underground passage will take you to the Y-shaped viewing area.

The underground passage was spotless, the floor tiles were polished to a shine, a few vendors were lazily scrolling through their phones, and a group of foreign tourists, seemingly unsophisticated, were snapping photos of the GG robot that was wandering around aimlessly.

Shang Muchen and Liu Qingyang strolled hand in hand until they reached the vicinity of the exit, where they indeed saw a large graffiti wall.

Shang Muchen was indeed a little surprised, because the scene before him was exactly the same as what he had seen in the illusion just now.

"Wow, there really is a black dragon!" Liu Qingyang pointed at the graffiti and said to Shang Muchen, "Look, it runs from beginning to end, across the entire graffiti wall!"

Shang Muchen nodded, walked to the wall, and gently scratched it with his fingernail. He discovered that the paint used to paint the black dragon was not the common acrylic paint or spray paint. Its penetration rate was much deeper than that of acrylic paint.

He tried to pry it off, and sure enough, just like the black dog he had seen before, the paint had seeped deep into the wall.

Shang Muchen took out his phone, took a picture of the black dragon graffiti, sent it to his fourth uncle, and then made a phone call to explain his discovery.

"Xiao Chen! Wait for me a moment, I'm coming right now, I want to see it for myself!"

My fourth uncle sounded very excited on the phone.

After waiting for about half an hour, Uncle Four, Shang Guoning, appeared at the entrance of the underground passage, looking like a sleazy, poor old man.

"Fourth Uncle!" Shang Muchen greeted him, "Look, it's right here!"

Before even acknowledging Shang Muchen, Fourth Uncle greeted Liu Qingyang, "Eldest daughter of the Liu family, you're here too?"

Liu Qingyang smiled and said, "Master Shang, I'm now assisting Shang Muchen with his research as a scientist!"

"Haha! Great! Science is the best! In this day and age, you have to be scientific in everything you do! I'm a Feng Shui master, and Feng Shui is the most scientific thing!"

Uncle Si exchanged a few polite words, walked to the graffiti wall, looked at the skull-headed black dragon from beginning to end, frowned, and muttered to himself, "A dead dragon?"

After the Shadow Dog, now there's the Dead Dragon! That's so weird!

"Fourth Uncle, this isn't the second monster, it's the third."

Shang Muchen briefly recounted the story of the Rat King to his fourth uncle.

Uncle Si frowned repeatedly upon hearing this, pondered for a long time, then pulled a water cup from his tattered bag, took a sip of water, and said quietly, "Dogs come out of houses, rats come out of burrows, dragons come out of river mouths... There's a bigger picture behind all this!"

"This skull and dead dragon drawing is too blatant. It's hidden among these messy graffiti, so it's so conspicuous that no one would suspect a thing."

Liu Qingyang commented.

"That's right, the person who drew this dragon intends to completely curse the feng shui arrangement of the dragon head in this area," Uncle Si said. "I suspect there are other arrangements in this area, not just this skull-shaped dead dragon."

The black dog pattern gave birth to a shikigami monster, the black rat pattern gave birth to a rat king monster, and this black dragon pattern might also give birth to some kind of monster. We can't let our guard down.

Shang Muchen looked up and saw several security cameras installed at the entrances and in the passageway of the underground tunnel. An idea came to him: "Fourth Uncle, how about we investigate who left this black dragon graffiti?"

"Great idea, I'll call Mr. Fang right now."

A dozen minutes later, Shang Muchen and Liu Qingyang followed their fourth uncle to the security room of the "Tingyun Pavilion" clubhouse located above the underground passage.

The security captain said with a troubled look, "Master Shang, the surveillance videos we keep are only three months old. For data older than that, we'll have to ask the police's cloud data center for help."

"Let's take a quick look first. Maybe we can find some clues in the footage from the last three months," Shang Muchen said.

Upon opening the video, Shang Muchen was somewhat disappointed. The graffiti of the black dragon had already appeared three months ago, indicating that the person who created it had clearly started working on it long ago.

After watching for a while, there was nothing noteworthy. Suddenly, in a nighttime surveillance video played at double speed, Shang Muchen caught a detail that no one else had noticed.

"Pause! Rewind a bit, look!" Shang Muchen pointed at the screen and said to the others.

The footage shows a drunk man staggering through an underpass late at night, heading towards the exit.

When he reached the graffiti wall, he lost his balance and reached out to steady himself against the wall.

In the next frame, the man disappears.

The security captain initially thought the video recording was skipping frames, so he dragged the progress bar back and forth several times, but it still showed that the person had simply vanished into thin air.

The surveillance camera, viewed from a different angle, provided a clearer view. In one frame, a dark shadow instantly enveloped the drunk man as he leaned against the wall, and then disappeared in the next frame.

The security captain looked shocked and troubled. His fourth uncle patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I understand how you feel."

This situation is too outrageous; calling the police is pointless.

I understand what happened; I'll handle it.

Liu Qingyang interjected, "Make me a copy of all the recordings. I'll use AI to enhance the footage and also check for any other anomalies."

The security captain copied all the surveillance footage for Liu Qingyang. As he saw the three of them out, he awkwardly said to Uncle Si, "Master Shang, we working folks have it tough too. Please be lenient and avoid trouble..."

"I understand your predicament. Don't worry, brother. I'm old enough to understand everything. I won't cause you any trouble. Don't worry."
