Chapter 262: Taking Medicine to Sleep
Chapter 262: Taking Medicine to Sleep
"What are you looking at?" Xia Yubing approached Ning Zhe curiously and tilted her head to look at the information in his hand.
The tablet in Ning Zhe's hand displayed the academic information of a blonde, blue-eyed, baby-faced female student, and the expression on her ID photo looked a little restrained.
【Name: Katya Nabal】
【Gender: Female】
【age:…】
Turning the page again, the next page showed the academic information of a haggard-looking blond young man. He had the same last name as the petite girl on the previous page, named: Spencer Nabar.
"Investigating a missing person case." Ning Zhe lowered his head to read Spencer's identity information, and said without raising his head: "I met this brother and sister recently."
Although it was in a dream, as 'Cynthia'.
Ning Zhe entrusted Joshua to investigate not only Vanessa Castle, but also the people he met in the castle. In his dream, Ning Zhe wrote down the registered residences and the last digits of their ID numbers of several people, including Cynthia. With these key information, it was not difficult to find out the specific identities of these people through the Dyke family's channels.
The results found can be said to be both expected and unexpected.
As expected, the information Ning Zhe obtained through Cynthia's memory was basically true. A group of college students who went out for a trip on the Apennine Peninsula had indeed disappeared mysteriously, and the identity information of the missing students matched that of Spencer, Kaqiuya and others.
Surprisingly, this group of college students disappeared in 1991.
What is even more surprising is that as early as the millennium, the once mysterious Vanessa Castle had been opened to the public, and Catholic believers often went there to listen to sermons and worship. If Ning Zhe went there now, he might be able to get a couple of eggs.
"What's going on..." Ning Zhe rubbed his temple and looked down at the academic records of those college students who disappeared that year.
Spencer, Katya and Cynthia were the last group of people to disappear in Vanessa Castle. Before them, foreign tourists, local hunters, lumberjacks and the like would disappear in the mountains every now and then. This bizarre phenomenon continued until the castle was opened to the public as a church.
"So were the strange incidents in Vanessa Castle finally resolved? How was it resolved?" Ning Zhe was a little confused.
Xia Yubing blinked, realizing that he was thinking about dealing with something weird again, but she was just an ordinary person and couldn't help, so she asked, "Are you going to sleep later?"
"Yeah." Ning Zhe nodded.
"Here, this is for you." Xia Yubing handed a small white plastic bottle to Ning Zhe: "You have slept for almost ten hours today. It will be difficult to fall asleep when you get to bed later."
Ning Zhe looked down and saw that it was a bottle of sleeping pills, which he really needed: "Thanks."
He didn't ask Xia Yubing why she carried this thing with her, and went back to his room with the tablet.
Ning Zhe poured a glass of warm water and swallowed a few pills, then lay on the bed and covered himself with a small quilt. Xia Yubing sat beside him and held the tablet for him so that Ning Zhe could repeatedly browse the two pictures on the screen before falling asleep to deepen his memory.
The pictures showed the old and new structural drawings of Vanessa Castle, which recorded the castle before it was washed down the mountain by floods and after major repairs and reconstruction. The two structural drawings were generally similar, with some minor changes such as road planning, terrace relocation, and additional entrances and exits. The sleeping pills Xia Yubing gave him were really effective. Even though he had slept a lot today, Ning Zhe still felt tired quickly, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.
Ning Zhe had a good sleeping posture. He was not like Bai Zhi who liked to roll around in bed and then fall to the floor. He also did not make annoying snoring noises. He just lay peacefully in bed and fell asleep quietly. The curved eyelashes between his eyebrows were so beautiful that they looked like they were painted on.
Xia Yubing sat on the edge of the bed and stared at him blankly for a while, then poked his cheek with her finger. There was no sign of him waking up, he was sleeping very soundly.
"Hmph... She's so pretty, but her personality is so cold." Xia Yubing muttered as if complaining.
She quietly placed the tablet on the bedside table, sat on the edge of the bed, took off her boots and coat, and sneaked into the bed like a snake, carefully lifting Ning Zhe's head so that he could rest his head on her arms.
Xia Yubing lay on her side on the bed, looking down at the adorable sleeping face of the boy in her arms. She recalled the way he beat her to her knees without a word when they first met. Finally, she thought of the scene in his bedroom that day, and it felt like a fire was burning in her heart.
"It would be so nice if you were as well behaved as you are now. You would be so cute." She murmured, lowered her head and pecked Ning Zhe lightly on the lips. She suppressed the fire in her heart, hugged him and closed her eyes.
……
"Um……"
Ning Zhe opened his eyes. The bright light made his eyeballs hurt slightly. After squinting for a few seconds, he raised his head and looked around. He found that he was standing by a window. He could see the ancient city wall below through the glass. It seemed that he was on a building.
Between the two windows, a heavy bookshelf was pressed against the wall. Ning Zhe turned around and saw rows and rows of dusty, quaint bookshelves neatly arranged in the hall behind him. It seemed that this was a private library that had been neglected for a long time.
"Yes, in order to keep the books dry, book lovers always like to stack their books in the attic which is far from the ground."
Ning Zhe was not in a hurry to confirm his current identity. He found the desk and chair used by the owner of the library among the rows of bookshelves as quickly as possible. He swiftly picked up the antique fountain pen on the table, filled it with ink, spread out a piece of white paper, used the spine of the book as a ruler, and drew clear lines on the paper with the tip of the pen.
Soon, Ning Zhe roughly drew out the two castle structure diagrams he had memorized before going to bed on paper.
Ning Zhe has a good memory, but the human brain with limited cache is not a machine after all. The structural diagram he hand-painted can only be regarded as a simple draft. The two maps emphasize the differences between the old and new castles, while other places are kept simple as long as they can be used.
After repeatedly confirming the map, Ning Zhe hung the pen back to its original place and quickly searched his body.
The third time he came into the dream, Ning Zhe's identity this time was a young man of Celtic descent with short burgundy hair, named 'Gezha Ogu'.
Geza has a medium build, neither fat nor thin, which is good enough, at least he is not as delicate as Cynthia. Ning Zhe found a flat iron pot in his pocket, which was filled with wine, and a pack of cigarettes, but no lighter. This guy must be in pain.
Ning Zhe looked around but couldn't find the corpse oil lamp that every "player" should carry with them.
