Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

This time, Shang Muchen was dumbfounded.

"Please, you're Joanna Wang, who's Li Qing?!" Shang Muchen jumped up and down excitedly, as if he'd eaten something disgusting. "Qingyang, Lele, you two, say something!"

"Shang Xiaobai, are you drunk?" Xu Lele adjusted her glasses and complained, "From the very beginning, she was Wang Ruolin!"

"What exactly happened? You've put on this show for me, you should at least give me an explanation!" Curly-haired Fang Xuan was fed up.

Shang Muchen and Xu Lele recounted the whole story to Fang Xuan, their accounts largely consistent, except for one point of contention: was the slender, bespectacled girl in front of them Li Qing or Wang Ruolin?

"Shang Muchen, your version is that Sister Yang and Lele brought this girl to you, saying her name is Li Qing," Fang Xuan asked.

"Yes!" Shang Muchen asserted immediately, his resolute attitude comparable to plugging in a phone that was about to run out of battery to charge it.

"Lele, in your version, this girl's name is Joanna Wang?"

"What do you mean by 'my version'? Her real name is Joanna Wang."

"Linlin, do you have any identification? Show it to Juanmao and Shang Xiaobai!" Xu Lele's confident attitude made Shang Muchen feel like he had shoved an Apple charger into an Android phone.

Wang Ruolin took out her ID card, which indeed had the three characters "Wang Ruolin" written on it.

Shang Muchen felt a chill in his heart; he had completely plugged in the wrong charger, which had broken his phone.

"You three are playing me..."

Shang Muchen wanted to say that, but seeing Liu Qingyang's serious expression, he swallowed his words.

"Mu Chen, did you time travel?" Liu Qingyang gently stroked Shang Muchen's cheek, trying to comfort him.

Okay, it's more likely that the three of you are teaming up to mess with me than that I've traveled through time.

But Shang Muchen didn't want to appear harsh; he preferred to believe it was a meticulously planned prank.

Shrugging, he gave up on arguing. Shang Muchen shook his head, gestured towards the overturned office, and said, "Curly Hair, you wanted me to do your feng shui?"

"Feng shui? When did I ask you to do feng shui for me?" Fang Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't believe in that stuff."

As he spoke, he casually tried to stand the wardrobe up again.

"I heard you say that you asked Shang Xiaobai to check the feng shui of your office," Xu Lele interjected.

"What I heard was that Mu Chen was asked to do a feng shui check on the school, Linlin, don't you think so?"

"What I heard was, 'Looking at the feng shui of the office,'" Wang Ruolin said softly.

"Huh? You must have misheard?" Fang Xuan shook his head and said, "I've never believed in this stuff..."

He was speaking when he was suddenly paused and stunned.

"Hey... I have a question for you guys..." Fang Xuan's voice trembled.

"What's wrong?"

"How did we get into my office?"

"They came through a secret passage from the women's restroom stalls, that must be right, right?" Shang Muchen turned to look at the others, and Liu Qingyang, Xu Lele, and "Wang Ruolin" all nodded.

"I'm not the only one who has memories of passing through secret passages and crawling out of walls, am I?"

"Of course! What's wrong?"

"Come and see for yourself..." Fang Xuan reached out and pointed to the wall behind the wardrobe.

Shang Muchen turned around the wardrobe, looked at the wall, and was instantly stunned.

The wall is as good as new.

"Something's not right!" He pushed open the wardrobe, squeezed against the wall, and pounded on the wall, which made a hard, thumping sound.

"Curly hair! Your walls heal faster than my mouth ulcers!" Shang Muchen complained.

"We always talk about being trapped in a maze by ghosts, but this is the first time I've ever seen a wall built by ghosts!"

"Wait a moment, I'll go find an electric drill and break through the wall!"

"No, wait a minute!" Fang Xuan grabbed Shang Muchen and said excitedly, "Screw your head! There's a main street right outside this wall! Don't believe me? Look at your window!"

Shang Muchen turned his head and looked along the wall in the direction Fang Xuan was pointing. Sure enough, he found that the wall extended to a large window facing the street.

Shang Muchen quickly ran to the window, leaned out, and saw the building's exterior wall.

This completely confused them, and it wasn't just Shang Muchen; the others also sensed something was wrong.

The group sat down on the office sofa and compared their memories. Most of them matched, but each person had some details that didn't match.

Shang Muchen suddenly noticed that Wang Ruolin's backpack charm was no longer a 3D-printed skull and black dragon, but a rabbit figurine.

"Li Qing... oh no, okay, Wang Ruolin, when you were telling me about your experience at dinner tonight, did you tell me that your friend was kidnapped by the Rabbit God?"

"No," Wang Ruolin shook her head and said, "I've had this dream for several days in a row. In the dream, Li Qing said that she was taken away by a black skeletal dragon."

You and Yangyang even said that you had seen a similar skeletal black dragon in the underground passage of the Xiaoqing River.

"Did we say that?" Shang Muchen asked Liu Qingyang.

"I did tell her! We even told her about the toy stall owner disappearing when we bought the toys." Liu Qingyang tilted her head, recalling earnestly.

"Is that so?" Shang Muchen scratched his head.

"May I see this rabbit figurine on your bag?"

"Give."

Wang Ruolin took off the pendant and handed it to Shang Muchen.

Shang Muchen examined it carefully in his hand. It was a beautifully crafted toy pendant made of hard plastic, molded in one piece and then painted. The rabbit figurine had a friendly smile, was lifelike, and had a kind face.

Suddenly, Shang Muchen's mind went blank, as if struck by lightning. He recalled a short dream he had while waiting for them in the restaurant's private room: a rabbit figurine entered the room and slapped him.

That rabbit figurine is the one right in front of us!

Shang Muchen took a picture of the Rabbit God and gave it to Wang Ruolin.

Liu Qingyang said, "It's no use sitting here chatting. Let's go back to the women's restroom and see if there's any secret passage entrance there."

"Yes, let's go."

After leaving Fang Xuan's office, the group took the elevator down to the fifth floor and arrived at the campus of Fuze Middle School. They walked through the playground, parking lot, and another teaching building, and then past a gymnasium. It took them a full twenty minutes to reach the campus of Wangfusi Primary School.

Although the middle school and primary school have now been combined, there is still a wall between them. Fang Xuan asked the security guard to open the door and led the others back to Wangfusi Primary School. After going upstairs, a full half hour had passed by the time they returned to the girls' restroom on the third floor.

"Look at this!" Fang Xuan said, his hands trembling as he looked at the watch. "It's a ghost! It's absolutely a ghost!"

I distinctly remember that we just walked straight from the women's restroom to my office!

"Don't panic, we all remember this." Shang Muchen patted Fang Xuan's shoulder to comfort him, and at the same time turned on the light in the women's restroom.

Entering the women's restroom again, the layout was exactly the same as the first time, except that the restroom was very clean, with no mops, buckets or other clutter that Shang Muchen had just brought out.

Shang Muchen walked straight in, opened the last cubicle, and found that it was a toilet, not a storage room.

Shang Muchen knocked on the wall, which made a dull thud, clearly indicating that it was solid.

"Wow! We've traveled through time! Yay!" Xu Lele suddenly became happy.
