Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 2 Dr. Solans

Du, du du.

A knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Hearing the voice, Jinghe was somewhat surprised, but still responded.

With a click, a middle-aged man wearing a light brown archaeological coat and round-framed glasses, who looked somewhat listless, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Dr. Solans."

Upon seeing the person, Jinghe quickly called out the person's name from her memory.

Dr. Solance, whose full name is Solance Takao, is a doctor who studies meteorites and rocks. He is also a history professor at Kanaz Pokémon University. His office is next to Jinghe's Pokémon Psychology Counseling Room.

Similar to Jinghe, Dr. Solans's history class is also a course that few people pay attention to, and his focus on meteorites and rocks is an even rarer topic than Pokémon psychology.

The difference is that Dr. Solans is a genuine doctor.

"Jinghe," Dr. Solans forced a smile, "Could I have a cup of coffee?"

Watching Dr. Solans slowly walk to the table, pull out a chair, and sit down, especially noticing the dark circles under his eyes behind his glasses, Jing He asked with some surprise, "Don't you dislike coffee?"

Despite saying that, Jinghe still got up and started fiddling with the coffee machine.

"Stop talking." Dr. Solans shook his head weakly. "I haven't had a good night's sleep in the last two days."

Soon, Jinghe skillfully brewed a cup of coffee and placed it in front of him.

A rich aroma wafts out.

"I can tell." Jing He gestured to his thick dark circles under his eyes.

Dr. Solans gave a wry smile, picked up his coffee, hesitated for a moment, and then took a big gulp.

next moment.

His entire face scrunched up like a piece of old newspaper.

"Ugh, this is so bitter." He put down his coffee cup, his brows furrowed, and said, "I don't understand why you guys like to drink this stuff."

His brows quickly relaxed, and he seemed to look a little more energetic.

"Its energizing effect comes entirely from its bitterness, right?"

"But it does have some effect."

Jing He was speechless.

"You'll definitely like it after drinking too much. You can apply to the academic affairs office for a coffee machine then."

Solans shook his head.

"Forget it, I'm not in the office most of the time, so let's not waste public resources."

Jing He simply shrugged at this, then changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, what new discovery did you make this time? You haven't slept for two days straight."

Speaking of his discovery, Dr. Solans immediately perked up, adjusted his glasses, and said:

"We did find a nice stone this time, which is of great research value. It was found by one of my students, but that's not why I didn't sleep."

After briefly describing the stone he had discovered, Dr. Solans became dejected once again.

He scratched his hair, which was now like a bird's nest, and said with distress:

"I don't know what's wrong, but I've been having nightmares for the past two days since I got back. One nightmare after another, I can't sleep at all."

Nightmare?

Jing He was taken aback.

After looking Dr. Solans up and down, his expression turned slightly serious as he said, "You haven't messed with something you shouldn't have, have you?"

"Something we shouldn't have messed with?"

Dr. Solans's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he stammered, "You...you mean...a ghost?"

As a PhD who "digs the ground" like him, he has indeed heard many similar legends of "unearthing ghosts and monsters", but he has never actually encountered one himself.

In the world of Pokémon, "ghosts" are not exactly rare.

Jing He smiled slightly, "Don't be nervous. It's probably just that some situation during the exploration caused you anxiety or unease, or you were frightened and your subconscious self-protective mechanism is interpreting that fright."

He continued to reassure her, "If there really were ghosts, it wouldn't just be that you dream about 'it,' right?"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to a corner of the consultation room, where there was an extremely comfortable single sofa.

It's where he usually takes his afternoon nap.

He patted the back of the chair. "Want me to help you get some rest?"

Dr. Solans hesitated for a moment, but then quickly patted his cheeks and downed the rest of his coffee. "Later, I've finally recovered a bit. I need to finish my lesson plan as soon as possible; school starts soon." Hearing this, Jing He let him be and lay down on the sofa.

"Then you'd better hurry."

His lesson plan was already finished.

Because there weren't many to begin with.

Dr. Solans patted his cheeks again, thanked Jing He, and strode out of the consultation room.

Judging from his posture, it seems to be another classic case of "a pen, a person, a night, and a miracle".

The pattering rain tapped against the window, leaving tiny, speckled watermarks.

"Well"

Jinghe opened her sleepy eyes.

I realized that I had slept until evening, when it was already getting dark.

The once bright afternoon had turned into a gray haze, and the raindrops splashing up created a thin veil over the entire city, adding a touch of mystery.

"Jinghe."

Suddenly, a low, hoarse, and somewhat ethereal voice came from behind.

Hearing the weak, feeble voice, Jing He instinctively jolted awake, sat bolt upright, and shouted, "Who?!"

"It's me, Solans."

Only then could they see the figure standing in the dim light.

Jing He let out a breath, rubbing the goosebumps on her arms as she slowly stood up, and said irritably, "Dr. Solans, are you still not off work?"

Solans said helplessly, "I just finished get off work, and I don't think I'll dare to sleep after I get off work. I saw that you haven't gotten off work yet, so I thought I'd help you out."

"Now?" Jing He glanced out the window. "Not going home?"

"got used to."

As soon as Jing He got up, Solans lay down on the sofa.

Anyway, he's single, and to save time for his research, he sometimes sleeps at school.

"Ok."

Jinghe rubbed her dry eyes and yawned.

He pulled up a chair and sat down.

Dr. Solans seemed to have been prepared all along, placing his hands on his chest and closing his eyes.

"Slowly, take a deep breath, hold it and exhale. Now, you are very relaxed. You are on the lawn, bathed in warm sunshine." Jing He's gentle and calm voice was like a spring breeze that brushed against your heart, and her magnetic voice made people unconsciously relax.

Hypnosis.

With Solans's active cooperation, it was relatively easy for Jinghe to receive simple hypnotic sleep aids.

In fact, in the original owner's memory, this was not the first time he had helped Solans fall asleep.

Not a moment.

Even breathing sounds came from Solans.

"have a good rest."

Seeing the peacefully sleeping Solance, Jinghe got up and carefully closed the door.

get off work.

What he didn't know was that after he left, a faint red halo suddenly appeared on Solans's chest.

Immediately afterwards, strands of black silk threads began to swirl up.

It slowly coalesced into a ball.

A pair of eyes appeared.

Looking at Solance lying on the sofa, displeasure flashed in his eyes.

It was quickly replaced by curiosity.

He immediately turned to look at the closed door, his curiosity growing stronger.

"Kou Jie?"

How could that person be allowed to do it?
After a brief hesitation, it slipped through the door and followed easily, like a gas.
