"Gu Shen, as you can see, there are three 'Dream Sealed Objects' placed before you. The final audit of the review team is simple… touch the three dream sealed objects in sequence, enter the dream, and complete the dream deciphering."

A long table separated the classroom, with Gu Shen at one end and the review team sitting upright at the other.

"The time it takes to decipher the three sealed objects will be your final audit score."

It was Tang Qingquan, the Grand Judge of Yinghai District, who introduced the rules. When he spoke, the expressions of the other review team members changed slightly, but none of them said anything.

The Grand Judge was expressionless, leaning forward slowly, sizing up the unremarkable teenager before him.

He had seen countless people, but he couldn't detect any astonishing mental fluctuations in this young man.

Being selected as an authoritative "S" level personnel for auditing is no easy task.

Each member of the review team who landed in Dateng City this time was a powerhouse with a certain amount of extraordinary strength.

They were all sizing up the boy in front of them.

And on the table, there were three items placed... namely, an old lantern, a hourglass with all the sand run out, and a restored Rubik's cube.

"You should be clear about the rules of dream deciphering, right?"

The Grand Judge asked routinely. He had read Gu Shen's file. This newcomer had performed outstandingly in the fire case. Zhou Jiren even fought for a special pardon for him. Presumably, he had done enough homework to cope with the audit during this period.

"Rules…" Gu Shen was a little dazed. "What rules?"

Tang Qingquan frowned.

He didn't understand. Zhou Jiren had found out the dream deciphering test questions on the plane, but hadn't he explained them to this newcomer?

"Is this your first time entering a dream?"

The auditor next to the Grand Judge was quite patient. He looked at Gu Shen and said seriously, "Dreams are worlds woven by mental power, so everything in dreams is illusory… no matter how powerful the sealed object is, it's no exception."

"Once you touch the sealed object, there is no possibility of you withdrawing."

He pointed to the three items on the table and said, "As for how to decipher the dream, it's not complicated. You just need to first realize that you are in a dream, and then you need to find the unique features in the dream. Finally, you need to use the unique features to complete the 'unveiling,' which is the so-called 'dream deciphering'!"

Gu Shen listened carefully, while using *Jingzhe* to verify what they said about dream deciphering.

He woke up from the grassland, first realizing that he was in a dream.

Then he discovered the "unique feature"... the unique feature in *Jingzhe* was probably the heavy rain cloud.

The dream deciphering of *Jingzhe* was very simple.

Not long after waking up, the cloud on the grassland rained, and he sat down according to his heart, and immediately realized that the grassland was in harmony with the breathing technique of the rain... and he completed the unveiling and dream deciphering so simply.

"The three sealed objects brought this time have quite intense characteristics." This review team member solemnly handed out a small copper piece, saying, "This copper piece is called 'Heart-Peering Piece.' If you cannot bear their dreams, we will forcibly take you away… The price is that you will suffer slight mental damage and need to rest for ten and a half days."

"Of course… if you leave the dream in this way, your audit will be over."

He paused, and sat back, "Understood?"

Gu Shen took the Heart-Peering Piece.

He weighed it. It had a good texture. It looked like copper, but it seemed to have other mysteries. It felt cool to the touch.

"Understood."

Gu Shen held the Heart-Peering Piece and took a deep breath.

Sister Luo said that the Tribunal has thousands of dream sealed objects... These sealed objects have different characteristics and can be used to hone mental power. Some transcendent beings who perfectly control the rules of dreams can use sealed objects as their weapons.

If the sealed objects are specially prepared for my audit… would they be selected from the sealed objects carried by the auditors themselves in order to avoid "leaking the questions"?

He came to the table and carefully examined the three dream sealed objects.

The hourglass sat quietly on the table, with all the sand in the lamp at the bottom. It looked no different from ordinary objects, but after looking at it a few more times, Gu Shen was immediately entangled in a sense of decay and death.

This is probably a dream sealed object related to "time."

Hmm… a very dangerous thing.

Gu Shen looked at the dice again, but couldn't see anything unusual. It was just a simple dice.

Unable to predict, unable to evaluate.

Finally, he looked at the lantern.

The most eye-catching thing on the table was the old lantern in front of the Grand Judge.

It was obviously as old as an antique from hundreds of years ago, but the core was burning with vigorous fire, reflecting the dilapidated paintings depicted on the outer skin of the lantern's oiled paper. There were countless chasing flames, and ghosts, flickering with the flames, breathing as if they had life.

It looked like the hand-painted style of the Yinghai area a long time ago. He looked at the Grand Judge. Gu Shen had done his homework on the identities of all the members of the review team. Only this one was from the Yinghai District. Perhaps this was his sealed object?

The Grand Judge stared at himself expressionlessly, propping his elbow.

"Choose quickly." Tang Qingquan knocked on the table and urged, "There is no difference between these three."

"…Okay."

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Shen stretched out a hand and touched the Rubik's cube.

After observing for a while, the Rubik's cube was the most gentle and harmless sealed object he felt.

After touching it, according to the prompt from the review team, Gu Shen held the Rubik's cube in front of him.

After waiting for a second, nothing had happened yet.

And in the next second, Gu Shen realized that he was completely wrong…

"Crack!"

A crisp bang!

It seemed that something in his mind had cracked, and his whole soul was struck by lightning!

Severe pain struck.

Gu Shen looked down and was shocked.

He saw the restored Rubik's cube rotating rapidly in his palm, scrambling itself, making a crackling sound--

Because his mental power was too weak.

Gu Shen struggled to resist the Rubik's cube's mental pull…

He tried hard to watch the last twisting trajectory of the Rubik's cube.

A few seconds later.

"Crack."

When the Rubik's cube stopped, the Gu Shen in reality had solidified like a stone statue.

…

…

A breeze blew.

The bright light shone into the classroom with the wind, landing on the faces of every member of the review team behind the long table.

At the moment when the Grand Judge spoke earlier.

Their expressions changed subtly for a moment.

"Tang Qingquan, you have changed the rules without authorization… Doing so violates our original intention." The presiding judge of the Red Cedar District Prison, said in a low voice, "The original rule was that he only needs to choose one thing, complete the dream deciphering, and he can complete the audit."

"What's the difference?" The Grand Judge said lightly, "If Gu Shen can complete the first dream deciphering… we can just tell him later. This is what Old Zhao meant."

The presiding judge of the Red Cedar District frowned.

How could there be no difference?

This audit is of great importance. After Gu Shen learns that the rule is to touch three sealed objects… he will definitely reserve his strength in the first dream deciphering.

The most important thing is that it will lead to misjudgment.

With only one dream deciphering, he will definitely go all out…

And with three dream decipherings waiting for him, this young man is probably misunderstanding the difficulty of this audit.

Each of these three sealed objects is engraved with a nightmare difficulty dream!

"It's a bit of a pity that he didn't choose my 'Ghost Cage', otherwise this audit could have ended early."

The Grand Judge smiled and said, "Maybe he thought your 'Green Dice' looked simpler?"

"…I have already prepared to enter the dream and take him away." The presiding judge sighed softly, "The dream of the Green Dice is very torturous. If you can't bear it, giving up early may be a good choice."
