From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 270 The Psychologist at Kassel College
Chu Zihang woke up from his dream and stared calmly at the ceiling.

Outside the window, the sound of rain pattering could be heard, and the raindrops slid down the clear glass, blurring the outside world.

This wasn't the first time he'd dreamt of the same scene.

Since the 'accident' four years ago, the scenes in his dreams have been replaying every time he falls asleep, as if reminding him never to forget.

But how could he forget?

Because in this world, perhaps he is the only one who still remembers that man.

It has been said that a person's true death is not the demise of their body, but the cessation of all human memory of them.

On that stormy night, on that overpass, the man, carrying the god-slaying sword, glanced at him one last time before charging headlong towards Odin, the supreme god-king of Norse mythology. Gungnir, forged from the World Tree, rose up, its tip bursting with countless meteor-like rays.

But just then, the gray-white dragon appeared, abruptly entering this clash between gods and humans.

The grayish-white scales were engraved with countless mysterious runes, seemingly extending into flesh and void, while the pair of pale golden vertical pupils, like giant lamps, stared straight at him, as if revealing some unspeakable emotions and perceptions.

However, at this crucial moment, a sharp, stabbing pain forced Chu Zihang to stop reminiscing.

"Here we go again. As expected, I still can't remember any more details." Pinching his furrowed brows with his index and middle fingers, Chu Zihang sighed softly, a hint of bitterness and helplessness showing on his usually indifferent face: "Whether it's a dream or a memory, it always ends here."

He seemed to have lost many memories of what happened that day.

According to the police who later found him on the overpass, he was in the Maybach worth nine million dollars, gripping the steering wheel, but he was unconscious. No one knew why he was there, and no one knew what had happened.

When Chu Zihang later woke up in the hospital, he tried hard to recall what happened after the 'dragon' appeared.

Unfortunately, every time he tried to recall, it was accompanied by a sharp, stabbing pain, as if some unknown force was preventing him from remembering anything more.

"The Gray Dragon"

All Chu Zihang knew was that gray dragon.

Before he came into contact with the 'truth', he always thought it was some kind of illusion, or some other creature.

But after joining the 'Kassel' Academy, he learned that the 'gray dragon' that appeared on that rainy night was absolutely real.

Dragons, creatures existing only in mythology, are actually real beings that ruled the Earth long before humans existed. They were absolute rulers, possessing powerful physiques and numerous 'words of power,' and are now humanity's greatest enemy!

Kassel College, on the other hand, is an institution that cultivates outstanding talents with the ultimate goal of slaying dragons.

It can be said that the students in this academy have the goal of slaying the dragon at all costs and by any means and power!
Dragon slayers are no ordinary people; they possess dragon blood to varying degrees, making them superhuman beings known as 'hybrids,' a product between humans and dragons.

Later, Chu Zihang consulted some materials in an attempt to find the 'gray dragon' that suddenly appeared on that rainy night, but the result was very disappointing. He could not find any information about it, whether it was the secret records of the dragon clan or the database that was known as the strongest artificial intelligence.

Not even the slightest trace could be found of the gray dragon's existence.

A message from 'Norma' interrupted Chu Zihang's memories, pulling him back to the real world.

The message came from the Executive Department: a suspected high-risk 'mixed-race' individual is suspected of having committed several horrific crimes in Brooklyn, New York. He was instructed to prepare himself and, as soon as possible, accompany the Executive Department to Brooklyn, New York to resolve the incident.

It is worth mentioning that the Executive Department of Kassel College is an elite department that specifically targets crimes committed by hybrids and the slaughter of dragons.

Generally, only exceptionally outstanding students are given the opportunity to intern in the Executive Department ahead of time, and he was one of them, having carried out numerous missions.

After a quick wash, Chu Zihang put on his clothes, opened an umbrella, and walked out of the dormitory.

The sky was still misty, with a light drizzle falling.

Chu Zihang strolled in the rain, holding a black umbrella. He wasn't walking very fast, and his expression was indifferent as he walked along the cobblestone path.

He paused for half a second before stepping into the Executive Department.

Hello, Chu Zihang.

A young man opposite him, dressed in a white coat like a doctor, with light blond curly hair and a gentle smile, extended his hand: "I've long heard of a genius with S-rank bloodline in the Execution Department, but I've never had the chance to meet him here today." "You are..."

Chu Zihang remained expressionless; this was his habitual indifference, not a deliberate attempt to distance himself or be harsh.

"Hehe, I almost forgot to introduce myself."

The young man smiled slightly and handed over a gold-embossed business card from his pocket: "My name is Adam, and I work as a psychologist at Kassel College. It's a pleasure to meet you, Chu Zihang."

"Psychological Alchemy Society?" Chu Zihang took the business card, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He knew about the student council and the Lionheart Society at Kassel College, as well as many other dabbling organizations, but this 'Psychological Alchemy Society' was the only one that left him somewhat baffled.

"Actually, it's a gathering used to treat psychological trauma."

Adam's expression was gentle, and his tone was unhurried, as if he could soothe a restless heart and possessed some kind of inexplicable power.

Looking at the gold-embossed business card, Chu Zihang didn't know why, but a different thought came to him. He put the card into his pocket and then nodded politely: "Okay, I'll go and take a look when I have time."

Then, after thinking for a moment, he looked at Adam and asked, "What are you doing in the Executive Department?"

"What else can I do but be forced into hard labor?"

Adam shrugged, spread his hands, and deliberately feigned helplessness, chuckling, "For this mission, I was a specially invited 'guest.' It seems they needed me as an analyst, so I was called over as well."

"Oh."

After giving a brief response, Chu Zihang fell silent.

Fortunately, Raymond from the executive department happened to come by and, seeing that the two of them were outside, asked them to come in together.

Inside the operations conference room of the executive department, the executive department specialists who had already arrived were gathered around a round table, their eyes fixed on the projection screen, and they did not turn around when they entered.

As soon as they entered, Chu Zihang and Adam's attention was drawn to the bloody and cruel images projected onto the screen.

Judging from the surrounding furnishings, it was a hospital room. The pure white room was splattered with a lot of blood, which looked very eerie. The corpse on the hospital bed was a pregnant woman, but her abdomen had been cut open, and the unborn child inside had been cruelly dismembered, exposing the bloody flesh and organs.

The corpse's eyes were wide open, staring blankly at the ceiling, as if harboring endless pain and resentment.

"The case of infanticide is the mission we're handling this time."

The specialist in front of the projection screen had a grim and solemn face. He said in a deep voice, "There is a high probability that it was done by a high-risk hybrid. But this guy is very cunning and rarely leaves any traces. So we need a psychologist to analyze his thoughts as much as possible and find his trail."

"Bloodline class?"

Chu Zihang asked.

"The initial estimate was Grade B, but..."

The commissioner paused, then a bitter look appeared on his face. He said, "Given the death of the commissioner who was in charge of the investigation, the level has been adjusted to 'A', so this mission is very dangerous."

"I understand."

Chu Zihang's expression seemed unchanged from beginning to end.

It's as if, whether it's Grade B or Grade A, it makes no difference to him.

"Then I'll leave it to you to protect me, Chu Zihang."

Adam chuckled and said gently, "After all, my bloodline is only B-grade, and I'm not good at combat with Word of Power."

"it is good."

Chu Zihang's answer was as concise and powerful as ever.
