The night was deep, and Su Mu was sitting cross-legged, practicing the Heavenly Mechanism Needle. Suddenly, a sharp ring from the phone shattered the tranquility of the evening.
Su Mu picked up the phone and heard Doctor Wang's anxious voice on the other end: "Doctor Su, I’m really sorry to disturb you at this late hour, but… I have a tricky case here, and I hope you can take a look."
Upon hearing Doctor Wang's tone, Su Mu knew that something serious was at hand. "Doctor Wang, don’t panic. Take your time and tell me what happened."
Doctor Wang furrowed his brow, a hint of panic in his eyes. He stammered slightly as he spoke: "It’s like this—there’s a student at our school who has encountered a problem. This student has recently been diagnosed with an extremely severe case of somnambulism! And it’s not just ordinary somnambulism; the situation is bizarre and extraordinary! To be honest, based on my experience and judgment, I highly suspect… that this condition cannot be explained by normal somnambulism..."
Hearing this, Su Mu's heart sank, and he quickly pressed for more details. "What exactly is so strange about it? Please tell me everything!"
Doctor Wang took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress his inner fear and insecurity. After calming himself slightly, he began to recount the details.
"This student, every time she sleepwalks, exhibits extraordinary strength. Her power is simply beyond what an ordinary girl should possess; even several strong men combined would likely struggle to match her. What’s even more terrifying is that she seems completely unaware of her actions. Sometimes, she inexplicably climbs to the rooftop of the teaching building and walks along the narrow edge as if it were solid ground;
Other times, she can climb vertical walls like Spider-Man, leaving onlookers terrified;
Most chilling of all is when she suddenly attacks those around her—regardless of who they are, she strikes mercilessly.
The security guards at our school initially tried to stop her, but what happened? They couldn’t handle her at all and could only watch helplessly as she continued her rampage.
To be honest, I’m starting to suspect… whether she might be under some kind of evil curse or possession..." By the end of his explanation, Doctor Wang's voice had dropped to a whisper, as if afraid that some nameless horror might overhear him. The deep unease on his face was unmistakable.
Su Mu immediately thought of the previous situation with the Woodcutter's Wife and felt a vague suspicion arise in his heart. "When she sleepwalks, does she have a fixed route or behavior pattern?"
Doctor Wang pondered for a moment before slowly raising his head. His gaze wavered slightly as he seemed to search his mind for relevant memories and information.
He gently pressed his lips together and then spoke, "As for that question... to be honest, I haven't really observed it closely." He paused slightly, as if suddenly recalling something, and added, "However, a few days ago, a student mentioned casually during a chat that the girl seems to always head towards the back mountain of the school. What she does specifically, the child didn't clarify; it was just a passing comment." After saying this, Doctor Wang shook his head lightly, indicating that his knowledge was limited.
The back mountain? Su Mu remembered that his master had once said that the back mountain of the school was a place where spiritual energy gathered, but it also easily gave rise to some malevolent entities. "Doctor Wang, please tell me the details about the patient. I'll go to the school tomorrow morning."
Doctor Wang was overjoyed at this response. "That's great! Doctor Su, thank you so much! I'll wait for you at the school tomorrow morning!"
After hanging up the phone, Su Mu's previously relaxed brows tightened into a frown, as if twisted by an invisible force. He slowly raised his head and gazed into the distance, pondering the matters mentioned in the call.
The back mountain of the school had always been a mysterious and unknown place. According to rumors, it often gathered spiritual energy, forming a unique aura.
However, as the saying goes, extremes lead to opposites; such dense spiritual energy also attracted some unknown malevolent entities to lurk there.
Thinking of this, Su Mu couldn't help but shake his head, a hint of worry crossing his face.
This situation seemed far from simple; a student had developed somnambulism, and based on the information currently available, it was clearly not an ordinary illness.
It was likely intertwined with the supernatural events hidden in the shadows of the back mountain.
"It seems that tomorrow morning I must personally investigate the back mountain thoroughly," Su Mu murmured to himself, his tone firm and resolute.
He understood that this matter was serious; if he couldn't uncover the truth in time and take appropriate measures, the consequences would be dire. Thus, he decided to set aside other tasks for now and devote himself entirely to investigating this bizarre incident.
He rose and walked to the window, gazing at the deep night sky outside, his mind swirling with thoughts. His master had once said that medicine is not just about healing but also about saving people and driving away evil.
Although Su Mu had made some progress in his medical skills, he had only just stepped into the realm of cultivation, and there was still a long road ahead.
With this thought in mind, he took a deep breath and returned to his bedside to continue his meditation and training. He needed to improve his cultivation level as quickly as possible to better face the various challenges that might arise in the future. He understood that tomorrow could bring yet another test for him.
