So, under the watchful eyes of Jiang Lin and Hei Ta, Xing began searching the room for any traces of Chadwick's stay.

Xingye didn't seem to find anything wrong with it at all. She simply picked up a suitcase next to the sofa.

After weighing it in my hand, only a little dust settled on it, indicating that it was empty.

It may have been here for hundreds of years.

Next, Xing investigated the fireplace for warmth. It was still working, but the whole room was as cold as an icebox.

Xing found it hard to imagine how a normal person could live in such a low room temperature for an extended period of time.

At this moment, Screwgoom interrupted Star's exploration.

“Ms. Xing, I think there’s no need to go to such lengths. I roughly know where Dr. Chadwick is.”

Jiang Lin and Heita also turned their attention back to Screw Gum.

"If my assumption is correct..."

"Could it be that the family is trying to fool us?"

Xing guessed in advance.

Do you think they're that stupid?

Black Tower was somewhat speechless.

Screw Gum also denied it:

"No, the hound wasn't lying. The secret is right before our eyes."

Screw Gum slowly dipped his mechanical right hand into the Dream Pool...

Carefully, I scooped a crystal-clear bubble out of the liquid.

The moment it leaves the liquid surface, the bubble begins to rise slowly... until it hovers in mid-air.

"It's good to see you again, Dr. Chadwick."

Hearing this, Xing was stunned and couldn't understand.

Jiang Lin, Hei Ta, and Ruan Mei remained silent.

After all, none of them had ever met Chadwick.

"This bubble...is it Chadwick?"

Xing asked his question.

Just as Screw Gum was about to explain, Black Tower interrupted him.

"Alright, I guess you're the only one here who doesn't understand. Let Jiang Lin explain it to you privately after we're done. Let's get down to business first."

Nguyen Mai nodded slightly and spoke as well:

"However, those hunting dogs have very sharp hearing, so isn't it a bit inappropriate to talk here?"

Screw Gum nodded and said:

“I have a request for you—I would like to ask you to pass on something to Dr. Chadwick, who remains in my dream.”

As he spoke, Screw Gum took out a small bottle.

“I believe this thing can help him come to his senses.”

Xing took the medicine bottle from ScrewGumm's hand and looked at ScrewGumm's mechanical face.

"You usually carry this with you?"

Screw Gum shook his head and explained:

"No, but please believe me, I just happen to have the ability to retrieve what I need."

"Then why don't you go by yourself?"

Xing voiced her doubts.

"I will try to negotiate with the family's higher-ups to try and get Dr. Chadwick's dream bubble out of Pinocone."

Xing glanced at Luo Sigumu, then at the three geniuses beside him, including Jiang Lin, and hesitated before saying:

"The family probably wouldn't dare to stop us, would they?"

Screw Gum nodded, but still spoke:

"Admittedly, the outcome may have already been decided, but it is necessary to explain the reason to the host here."

Xing thought for a moment and then said:

"Why are you the one going?"

"Which of the three of us do you think will negotiate?"

Jiang Lin thought for a moment, then said to Xing with a hint of exasperation.

Xing paused for a moment, then looked at Jiang Lin. Well, in this situation, he figured he would only show his strength to the two opposing big rockets.

Xing glanced at Ruan Mei again and silently shook his head.

Finally, looking at the Black Tower... well, as expected, it's better for Screwgoom to handle this.

"I'll go into your dream with you."

Jiang Lin calmly spoke to Xing.

"Count me in."

Black Tower then chimed in.

"Then... I'll go too."

After careful consideration, Nguyen Mai also decided to enter the dream.

Xing had no choice but to agree, unable to refute the argument.

But then, as if remembering something, he asked:

"How do you plan to enter the dream? Will you use the Dream Pool?"

"You don't need to worry about that, we have our own way of handling it."

Chapter 126 Negotiation

A moment later, Xing had entered the dream world.

Looking around, they couldn't find the other three people.

Just as she was about to contact them, a calm voice came from behind her.

"Look there! We're right here."

Hei Ta's calm tone startled Xing. He turned around and saw the three of them.

"It's almost time, let's go."

Jiang Lin then spoke up and made a suggestion.

Xing nodded and skillfully led them to Chadwick.

Hei Ta looked at the old man sitting on the bench with a weathered face, somewhat incredulous.

"This...you're not kidding?"

Jiang Lin and Ruan Mei remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hello, and this one... um, a lively child."

At that moment, Chadwick suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention.

"Dr. Chadwick?"

Xing tentatively opened her mouth.

"I'm glad I still recognize you, but... who are these people next to you...?"

Black Tower couldn't help but ask at this moment:

"Doctor... how much do you remember?"

Chadwick paused, then asked with some confusion:

"You know me? But unfortunately, my memory... is not very good."

Xing watched from the side, and for some reason, she felt a pang of heartache.

Because she remembered that before she parted ways with this old man last time, there was a faint light in his eyes, but now... it seemed to have been extinguished.

Chadwick seemed to notice Xing's change in mood, and so he spoke gently:

“Young man, whether it’s this time or last time, I’m always glad you can talk to me.”

Chadwick then changed his tune.

"However, the hounds won't be happy to see you, so you'd better leave as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, the hounds guarding Chadwick pretended not to see the four of them, all in good agreement.

They simply stood quietly by, preventing other people from being disturbed by other tourists.

"Don't worry, this problem has been solved."

Xing comforted the old man in front of her with a confident expression.

"You mean..."

Chadwick seemed to realize something and instinctively wanted to ask something, but he changed his mind before he could say it.

"Never mind, I probably... I probably don't need to know some of the details. I've heard some stories about the Nameless Guest, and I guess you must be just as incredibly skilled as those people in the rumors."

Xing felt a little embarrassed when she heard Chadwick's praise.

"You're actually quite impressive. When you said you were a member of the Genius Club, I didn't believe you at first. If my partner hadn't run into some problems at the time, I would have definitely checked with my friends in the club."

Just as Xing and Chadwick were having a lively conversation, they suddenly felt three eerie gazes.

Xing turned her head and was surprised to find herself facing the eyes of Jiang Lin, Hei Ta, and Ruan Mei.
