Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

Shang Muchen was incredibly unlucky, like the last broad bean left in a can, being rocked around in the van for a full hour.

The moment the car stopped, Shang Muchen felt a sense of despair. He was terrified that the car was only stopped at the intersection because of a red light and had not yet reached its destination.

At this moment, Shang Muchen deeply understood what it felt like to be a dog packed in a pet carrier, stuffed into the cargo hold of an airplane, and transported there.

The moment the carriage door opened, a summer midnight fragrance wafted out, and the fresh air instantly revived Shang Muchen's withered lungs.

"Sister! Next time, tie it to the roof of the car for me! I'd rather be Superman Barat than stay in a container!" Shang Muchen pleaded, his voice trembling with tears.

Liu Qingyang laughed and said, "I'll drive slowly on the way back, it's okay, don't be scared, be good—"

As soon as Shang Muchen jumped out of the car, he bumped into Li Weiqiang.

The moment he saw him smile at him, Shang Muchen's head swelled up to twice its normal size.

That afternoon, I made up my mind never to see him again in this lifetime, but who knew that I would see him again in less than five hours.

It's truly the Murphy effect; what you fear most is what happens.

"Uncle Li..." Shang Muchen greeted him timidly.

Li Weiqiang was very enthusiastic, slapping Shang Muchen hard on the shoulder and saying loudly, "Little Shang! It's great to see you again! We really are destined to meet!"

I didn't expect Professor Ai to invite you as well.

"This was purely an accident..." Shang Muchen said helplessly.

Eileen hurriedly asked Liu Qingyang and Xu Lele to help her set up the equipment. When Shang Muchen had a moment, he asked Li Weiqiang what had happened.

Li Weiqiang pointed to the lit courtyard ahead and asked Shang Muchen, "Look where this is?"

"Where?" Shang Muchen looked at the familiar face but couldn't answer for a moment.

"This is the backyard of the Shanbei Detention Center. Look, that's the cell you used to live in."

Upon hearing the words "the cell you lived in," Xu Lele glanced at Shang Muchen in shock.

Shang Muchen pouted, not bothering to explain, and continued to ask Li Weiqiang, "Uncle Li, what happened this time?"

"Wasn't it as you said, to tear down the wall of the small warehouse with the ouroboros painted on it?"

This morning I sent two workers to the cell to do some work, thinking we could just scrape off the old paint and repaint the walls.

Just as you said, simply scraping off the paint wasn't enough; the ouroboros graffiti had penetrated deep into the wall.

When the worker asked what to do, I didn't think it through and just said, "Let's break down the wall, since it's not a load-bearing wall anyway."

So the workers started smashing down the wall, trying to completely remove the graffiti, but something unexpected happened.

"What happened?"

"The workers did manage to break through the wall, but they ended up creating a 'back room'."

The hole in the small warehouse wall should have been an exterior wall, but after the wall was knocked down, an unusual interior space appeared inside, and the two workers were sucked in.

"A back room? My god!" Shang Muchen grinned.

"It's not a 'back room,' it's different from what's described online," Professor Eileen interjected.

What happened here is much simpler than the so-called "back room" situation online; it's just an abnormal unfolding of a higher-dimensional space.

This is similar to an animal's intestines, which should be curled up and folded to perform normal physiological functions and not take up much space.

Suddenly, some strange bugs occurred. The high-dimensional space, which should have been compressed and folded, suddenly unfolded, like origami that had been straightened and ironed flat.

It not only occupied a huge amount of real space, but also produced a series of abnormal phenomena.

"Xiao Shang, Liu Qingyang told me that you stayed here one night and dreamed of the ouroboros?"

Shang Muchen was somewhat dissatisfied that Liu Qingyang had told their mentor, Eileen, the secret he had told her;

But considering that he was indeed involved in this matter, he couldn't blame Liu Qingyang. After all, if he were in her shoes, he probably would have said something too.

"Yes, I did see—no, I dreamed—an ouroboros, and it even retreated back into an egg."

"Then that's it." Eileen said while assembling the equipment, "Shang Muchen, Shang Muchen, your luck is off the charts!"

You have encountered an extremely rare high-dimensional source field information being!

I've searched for them my whole life, and I've only ever seen two.

You're so young, and you actually managed to encounter one, and even escape unscathed! You're incredibly lucky!

"Really?" Shang Muchen scratched his head, not finding it particularly remarkable. "That ouroboros, is it really alive?"

"Well, that depends on how you define 'living thing'," Eileen explained. "If we use a simple definition—that it has metabolism—then it is undoubtedly a living thing."

However, what makes up the body of the ouroboros is not matter, but information.

Its metabolic process, the food it eats, and the feces it excretes are not matter, not even energy, but information.

"Huh? You mean it's a creature that 'eats information and excretes information'?"

"That's right, that's what I mean," Eileen said firmly.

Shang Muchen couldn't understand.

"Anyway, let's get moving and rescue those two workers first," Professor Eileen said with a serious expression. "That ouroboros has probably been nesting here for many years, and it has never been disturbed."

Maybe it was you, or maybe it was the workers who were breaking down the wall, who disturbed it and made it afraid.

It expanded its own dimension, which is why it swallowed the workers who were smashing the wall, creating an effect similar to the "back room" and causing enormous damage to the stability of reality.

Our task is simple: rescue the workers, capture the ouroboros, and restore stability to reality.

As she spoke, Professor Eileen directed Xu Lele to help Liu Qingyang put on a heavy protective suit.

Afterwards, she and Xu Lele put on specially made protective suits.

Shang Muchen observed with curiosity that this protective suit was completely different from ordinary biochemical protective suits.

Although it is also a soft-shell, sealed full-body protective suit, this one is not white or yellow with warning stripes.

On the contrary, the protective suits were regularly covered with all sorts of runes, talismans, graffiti, spells and other incomprehensible symbols.

Shang Muchen saw Bagua diagrams, runes, crosses, Taoist talismans, and many other completely unfamiliar symbols on the protective suit.

Not understanding and too embarrassed to ask in detail, all Shang Muchen could do was help them push the equipment.

Li Weiqiang directed the police officers to clear the area, removing all irrelevant personnel from the surrounding area. He personally drove over an engineering lift truck and lifted Eileen and the other two from the outer wall, raising them to the hole in the wall outside the small warehouse that had already been smashed open.

The three were attached to a long, thick tow rope with oxygen tubes and wires attached to it, which led to the huge equipment that had just been assembled on the ground.

"Ready—Power on!"

Eileen's voice came through the radio.

Following her instructions, Shang Muchen pressed the switch forcefully. The large machine beside him buzzed, and a tremendous amount of energy, perceptible enough to be felt, instantly traveled along the traction rope and touched the three people wearing protective suits.

In an instant, all the runes drawn on the three people's protective suits emitted a bright golden light.

The platform of the elevator car was placed against the outer wall. The three people filed in and "merged" into the wall one by one, disappearing inside.

Shang Muchen watched with longing as the three of them went inside, feeling a little expectant and wanting to see what it was like inside.
