My vampire princess wants to repay a debt of gratitude.

Xiaoju's mood suddenly improved. If it was just passive laziness, she felt she could still be saved.

"Yes."

Lin Mo put his talent as a human observer to use and began to recall when Xiao Ju started going to bed early and waking up late.

Recent images of Xiaoju flashed through my mind. She was normal most of the time, but recently she has started to show signs of excessive sleepiness.

When Lin Mo and Ye Zimo were forcibly pulled into the dream by her, she felt nothing at all, and didn't even know that she was dreaming, which is strange in itself.

Xiaoju's changes all occurred after she investigated Chen Tie's matter.

After determining the approximate time, Lin Mo looked at Xiao Ju and asked, "When you were investigating Chen Tie's information, did you encounter any people or things?"

Hearing Lin Mo ask this, Ye Zimo remembered that she had previously asked Xiao Ju to go to the mental hospital where Chen Tie was to conduct an investigation.

Furthermore, why did Chen Tie suddenly decide to create a website? And why did he commit suicide to revive the website? These are questions they had previously overlooked.

Looking back now, it might have something to do with that mental hospital.

Xiaoju seemed to suddenly remember something and said seriously, "Most of the information can be collected online, except for Chen Tie's original home and the mental hospital where he was treated, which I have investigated in person."

"Perhaps the problem lies in these two areas."

Lin Mo stroked his chin, took out the leaf-shaped time-travel talisman, and looked at Ye Zimo.

Ye Zimo knew he wanted to make some more copies, so she shook her head.

"Just use it. I saw that this stuff was good last time, so I already asked Jiang Chatu to buy some."

Ye Zimo took a box out of the room, and inside the box were 12 time-reversal talismans.

Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

How much did these cost?

Ye Zimo held up five fingers.

"500?"

Lin Mo thought it was too expensive.

Ye Zimo shook her head.

"5000?"

Lin Mo already felt that poverty had limited his imagination.

Ye Zimo didn't let him guess any further, and said directly, "As long as it works."

Lin Mo swallowed hard, feeling like the Bloodsucker had been ripped off by Jiang Chatu.

If only I could learn how to use the Rewind Talisman, I could use these talismans to make a fortune in the future.

These talismans are particularly useful for police investigations, but it seems that items with supernatural powers can only be sold to the Demon Alliance.

Lin Mo had never officially contacted the Demon Alliance before; he only knew about it through the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Three-Tailed Fox. He thought he could find an opportunity to ask them if they needed talisman masters.

He had already begun to calculate another way to make money, but his thoughts quickly returned to the main topic.

The most important thing right now is to figure out what exactly happened to Xiaoju.

Will Xiaoju's ability to pull others into their dreams cause any real harm?

Will Xiaoju's dreams cause her any harm?

Ye Zimo was also thinking about these three questions at this moment.

The answer to the first question will be found quickly.

Only after Ye Ziming's prompting did Xiaoju accurately state the time and location of her trip to Chen Tie's house and the hospital.

After obtaining this information, Lin Mo used the power of the time-reversal talisman to successfully rewind to the time when Xiao Ju went to Chen Tie's house.

In the old town of the main city, Xiaoju walked into an old pigeon house with light steps.

The stairwell was covered with graffiti and illegal advertisements for locksmiths and sewer cleaners. There was also occasional trash and dog poop on the ground. Xiaoju skillfully avoided the filth and continued upstairs.

I could clearly hear dogs barking on the second floor, cats meowing on the third floor, and a couple arguing on the fourth floor. I went up to the fifth floor, where there were three doors.

Xiaoju knocked on the door of room 503. A slightly plump woman opened the door, muttering, "Stop chasing me for the water and electricity bills, it's never going to end."

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it wasn't the landlord chasing her for water bills and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Chen Tie's home?"

Xiaoju asked politely.

The woman looked bewildered and said, "The landlord's surname is Chen, but I don't think his name is Chen Tie. You've got the wrong person."

Xiaoju then asked, "How long have you been living here?"

"Six months ago."

Is the landlord named Chen Wanggui?

"Yes, you'll have to call the landlord if you want to find him."

After saying that, the woman closed the door, not intending to continue arguing with Xiaoju.

She seemed to be a woman who had no patience for children.

Xiaoju nodded. Since the tenant had been living there for half a year, they probably didn't have what she was looking for. She crossed that place off in her notebook.

The scene ends here.

It seems that Chen Tie's home was not the place where Xiao Ju was infected. The woman also looked very ordinary and had not even had any contact with Xiao Ju. Their conversation was also very ordinary.

Lin Mo used another spell to return to the scene where Xiao Ju went to the mental hospital.

Beishan Mental Hospital.

This is a small mental hospital, consisting of a single, eight-story building.

Located in the suburbs, it is only accessible by one national highway and one village road.

Transportation is inconvenient, but it's nestled against a mountain, though the scenery is quite nice.

Some of the bricks and tiles at the base of the building have peeled off and are covered with moss, and no one has taken care of it.

Xiaoju took out some eye drops, put some in her eyes, and walked into the mental hospital with her usual light steps.

She went to the information desk on the first floor.

A young nurse was idly watching Korean dramas, seemingly unconcerned about the patients she usually treated.

"Hello, sister."

Xiaoju stepped forward and greeted them politely.

The nurse looked up and saw Xiaoju. She instinctively turned off her phone and asked, "Little sister, what's wrong?"

“A year ago, my cousin Chen Tie was hospitalized here. I was out of town at the time, so I didn’t have time to visit him. After he passed away, he told me that he left some important documents at the hospital. Could you help me check if my cousin’s things are still at the hospital?”

Xiaoju asked earnestly, her eyes slightly moist, her acting was superb.

The nurse nodded immediately: "Wait for me to check. Is it Chen Tie?"

"Uh-huh."

Chapter 170 A Gift for Xiaoju

The nurse searched on the computer, and a relaxed expression gradually appeared on her face. It was as if someone who had been idle for a long time finally had something to do, and was actually more relaxed than when they were idle.

She found Chen Tie's hospitalization record from a year ago, looked up, and smiled:

“Your cousin did stay in the hospital. Usually, discharged patients take all their belongings with them when they leave, but there are some exceptions. Come with me to the storage room, and I'll show you how to find it.”

The nurse warmly led Xiaoju out of the lobby on the first floor and took the elevator up to the storage room on the third floor.

The elevator made a creaking sound due to its age and disrepair, and the lights inside flickered suddenly, seemingly due to unstable voltage.

The young nurse showed no worry on her face; she was used to the elevator's malfunctions due to its age, and her expression was completely natural.

"arrive."

After getting off the elevator, she led Xiaoju to the first storage room at the corner of the three-way intersection.

Pushing open the door, you'll find various storage shelves inside, with rows of white plastic boxes neatly arranged on them.

The serial number and name are also written on it for easy searching.

However, both the storage shelves and the plastic boxes were covered in dust, as if no one had cleaned them for a long time.

The nurse followed the number to the iron shelf against the inner wall, tiptoed to lift a plastic box, and said with a smile, "You're so lucky, you actually found it."

Then she took the contents of the box out. It was Chen Tie's diary. Because the diary was written in a regular notebook provided by the hospital, Chen Tie's family did not take this one.

From Lin Mo's perspective, there was nothing particularly special about this diary.

Everything seemed normal, and the conversation between the nurse and Xiaoju didn't reveal anything wrong.

Just as Xiaoju was about to leave, the nurse suddenly called out to her, "Wait."

Xiaoju turned around, and the nurse handed her a sewn-up doll.

"There's this in the box too."

Xiaoju took the puppet doll with a puzzled look. Lin Mo's pupils contracted slightly. This doll was the girl he had seen in his dream, only smaller in size.

Xiaoju left the hospital with her diary and the sewn-up doll. The scene ends.

Lin Mo stepped back, finally finding the reason.

He looked at Xiaoju: "Did you take a stitched-together doll from the hospital?"

Xiaoju seemed to only remember this matter after being reminded by Lin Mo, and she nodded: "Indeed."

Where did you put it?

Lin Mo asked again.

"I can't remember either. I just thought it wasn't very important, so I left it in my room."

Xiaoju scratched her head.

When she said those words, she clearly sensed that something was wrong.
