Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

"What are you so happy about!" Shang Muchen retorted. "It's less like we've transmigrated and more like we've been thrown into chaos!"

We were all experiencing the same hallucination, a collective hysteria…

"Or rather, it's an encounter with 'reality mirror phase transition'..." Liu Qingyang suddenly uttered a professional term that Shang Muchen couldn't understand.

Xu Lele was taken aback, then immediately became serious.

"Yangyang, what do you mean...?"

"Yes, that's what I mean." She turned to look at Wang Ruolin and said, "Linlin, repeat the story of how you and Li Qing ran here together."

"That's how it is!" Wang Ruolin said, pointing to the door as she left the restroom. "She said she was going to use the restroom, so I waited for her here. But she didn't show up, and suddenly the security guard came from the other side of the hallway, and I got caught..."

"Wait, why didn't I know you broke into the school at night and got caught by the security guards?" Fang Xuan asked.

"How would I know? I got caught, why would you need to know?"

"Of course! I'm in charge of school security! If they catch a thief or something, they'll definitely notify me immediately."

"Besides, there aren't any security guards on night patrol at the school," Fang Xuan said. "Wait a minute, I'll call the security captain and ask."

On what day were you arrested?

"Let me think... about a month ago... the 19th? The 20th?" Joanna Wang was a little vague.

Fang Xuan made a phone call, but couldn't get the answer.

"Joanna Wang, which security guard caught you? Which security room were you taken to?"

"It's on the first floor... that... I don't really remember, it's somewhere near the entrance."

As they were talking, Shang Muchen suddenly noticed that the door to the outermost stall in the women's restroom was smaller than that of the inner stalls.

Opening the door to this cubicle revealed it to be a place where miscellaneous items were stored.

Shang Muchen ignored everything else and brought out the buckets and mops. He saw a small wooden partition door, about one meter square, on the wall inside.

Shang Muchen opened the partition door and shone his phone light inside. It seemed to be a pipe room, with a dense array of pipes.

Without thinking twice, Shang Muchen shrank back and crawled inside.

"Hey, where are you going? You're going down the rabbit hole again! Who knows what kind of trouble you'll cause if you keep going down there!" Fang Xuan complained.

As soon as I came in, I turned on my flashlight. The light shone on the wall, and the first thing I saw was a black rabbit doodle.

Shang Muchen took two steps forward. The dark pipe room was surprisingly deep, with a faint exit ahead.

The others followed suit and crawled in one after another.

Xu Lele complained, "Today was terrible. I'm so fat, I had to crawl through the rabbit hole twice. I don't even need my clothes anymore, they're so dirty I can't wash them."

"You've already said that once today," Shang Muchen retorted.

"Really? I don't remember."

After walking a few steps, the view suddenly opened up, and sure enough, it was another narrow passage that was exactly the same, only allowing one person to pass at a time.

Shang Muchen waved his phone's light and said to the others, "Look, it's still the same road."

"Stop talking about this, let's get out of here quickly. I have claustrophobia, I'm scared in narrow places!" Curly-haired man shoved Shang Muchen and hurried forward.

Shang Muchen took the lead and quickly reached the end of the alley. The stairs reappeared, this time the upward steps were embedded in the wall, leaving only the downward passage.

Shang Muchen crouched down and crawled down. After a few steps, he came to a small, half-open wooden door.

Shang Muchen gave a gentle push, and the small wooden door opened.

The small wooden door was about one meter square. Shang Muchen crouched down and crawled out of the door.

Curly-haired Fang Xuan, Liu Qingyang, and Xu Lele emerged one after another.

Shang Muchen looked around and found that the group had returned to the women's restroom.

"Huh? Is this the same road we're going back to?" Shang Muchen scratched his head, realizing something was wrong; it wasn't the same road we were going back to.

This time, I came out of the innermost stall in the women's restroom.

In other words, we've gone full circle and ended up back where we started?

After calming himself down, Shang Muchen looked back at the wall of the cubicle and was shocked to find that the small wooden door was gone and the wall was intact.

Shang Muchen stepped forward and punched the wall hard. The wall made a hollow sound, but he couldn't knock it down. It was obviously sealed with a thin layer of cement.

Xu Lele laughed, patted Fang Xuan on the shoulder, and said, "Dude, your toilet is too high! From your office to your toilet, the walls are made of Xirang (a type of mythical creature), and they even have self-healing capabilities!"

"Hey, Lele, Sister Yang, Shang Muchen, let me check with you guys, I haven't remembered it wrong this time, have I?"

We crawled out through a very dark alley, right?

"That's right," Liu Qingyang said firmly. "We've encountered a very rare 'reality mirror phase transition,' which is described in Professor Zhou's 'Introduction to Spiritual Energy Quantum Mechanics.' I'll go back and look up some information to study it carefully."

"Wait a minute!" Shang Muchen suddenly became agitated and asked, "Don't you guys feel like something's missing?"

"What's missing?" Fang Xuan frantically rummaged around, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nothing's missing!"

Where's Joanna Wang?

"Joanna Wang?" Liu Qingyang asked, "What is Joanna Wang?"

"Qingyang, don't you remember?" Shang Muchen's eyes widened in surprise. "Wasn't it you and Lele who brought Wang Ruolin, or maybe Li Qing, to see me so I could help resolve her confusion?"

That's why we're here!

"We came here because I said I'd show you the elementary school I went to," Liu Qingyang said, tilting her head in confusion and gently stroking Shang Muchen's face.

"Mu Chen, what's wrong? Your face is burning hot. Are you alright?"

"Don't you all remember Joanna Wang? What about Li Qing?"

"Are you talking about two people?" Liu Qingyang asked seriously.

"One person...maybe two...holy crap, this is a mess! What do you guys remember? We went through the toilet hole twice..."

"A hole? What hole?" Fang Xuan scratched his head, looking completely bewildered, and suddenly asked, "Why are we in the women's restroom?"

"You said you'd take us to see the women's restroom!" Xu Lele grabbed Fang Xuan and said, "You pervert!"

"Wait! Do you guys remember the two times we went through the holes in the wall?"

"A hole in the wall? Where's a hole in the wall?" Xu Lele adjusted her glasses, patted her snow-white dress, and said, "Wearing such a beautiful white dress, I would never crawl through a rabbit hole with you!"

"Reality is returning to stability..." Liu Qingyang said softly, "Lele, haven't you noticed? Our memories are returning to a 'normal state,' it seems only Mu Chen's memories are different from ours."

"Yangyang, you mean..." Xu Lele stared at Liu Qingyang for a full second, then suddenly laughed and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Haha, impossible!"

I've read *Introduction to Psionic Quantum Mechanics*. I generally don't believe the kind of science fiction premises that Professor Zhou, that kind of eccentric scientist, writes, haha.

"Mu Chen, you must remember what we've been through!" Liu Qingyang grabbed Shang Muchen's hand and said earnestly, "I will soon forget everything that just happened. I can't take it anymore. The images in my mind are starting to return to normal."

You must tell me what happened between us afterwards!

My memory is starting to fade...

"Qingyang, what's wrong?" Shang Muchen asked, puzzled, as he pulled Liu Qingyang's hand.

Suddenly, Liu Qingyang looked up again, her eyes clear, and asked Shang Muchen with a smile, "Muchen, what's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"
