Twisted Dreams

Above the protruding rock at the auction.

Li Yang, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked intently at that large box.

Smoke drifted up from his lips, causing Li Yang to squint slightly.

The box in Ye Fan’s hand was actually what Li Yang truly desired.

The corpse of a Celestial Race member.

The corpse of a Celestial Race member contained endless secrets and was a necessary material to create powerful undead.

With that corpse, Li Yang could explore the body’s secrets through Six Paths Technology and even create the mightiest undead.

As for why the Security Administration brought this Celestial Race person to the auction?

Such an important item, even Zhang Xiaoyi didn’t know of this treasure, shouldn’t the Security Administration have stored it securely?

Naturally, Li Yang had arranged it in advance with Cao Yi.

Don’t forget, Cao Yi is the director of the Security Administration and a member of the Demon Club.

He couldn’t directly deliver the Celestial corpse to Li Yang, so he had to go through this auction, officially trading the corpse to Li Yang.

Cao Yi also didn’t want to just hand out the Celestial corpse, so after some discussion, he asked for a Desire Potion from Li Yang.

The Security Administration lacked perfect control and powerful Senior Administrators.

Trading a Celestial corpse for a Desire Potion was also considered a way to enhance the combat power of the Security Administration’s upper ranks.

With the Hellfire and Desire Potion, the Security Administration might soon be able to create one or even multiple ’loyal versions of Zhang Xiaoyi’.

Li Yang murmured:

"The over a hundred billion gained today from the auction can’t compare to this one corpse."

Of course, this huge sum of money also has its uses.

In this world, even a hero could be defeated by a single penny, and money can move mountains.

The Demon Club also cannot distance itself from worldly equivalent transactions.

...

The host received news and knew that the final item was to trade for the Security Administration’s mysterious item.

He pretended to briefly inspect the box, then declared:

"Demon Puzzle, obtained by the Security Administration!"

The audience was in uproar.

No one knew what treasure the Security Administration provided!

Some began to secretly marvel.

The Security Administration truly deserves its status, being able to present a treasure coveted by the Demon Club!

Its foundation is indeed deep!

...

"Hehe, seems like we’re all in the same boat this time, no one got any good stuff."

A mature woman’s voice reached Jin’s ears.

Jin glanced towards another area at Su Yutang and sneered lightly.

Indeed, no one got anything good today.

Except for the first item, the Little Spirit Persimmon Tree, all other treasures ended up in Xia Country’s official pockets.

Imperial Capital Foreign Language University—Guardian Dao Academy, Shu Mountain, Security Administration.

It seemed Xia Country had no intention of letting these treasures enter private hands or go overseas.

Jin sat up straight, his expression indifferent.

Who said he came here to snatch treasures?

He never intended to genuinely participate in the auction.

The reason he came to Xia Country was for one person, someone not belonging to this era.

He was referred to as the Wandering One.

Jin had two adventures in his life.

The first, he met a Scavenging Elder who implanted some knowledge in his mind.

That profound knowledge covered immunology, biology, virology, bacteriology.

With such knowledge, Jin founded the God Creation Group.

If not for the arrival of the Spiritual Energy Revival, Jin’s God Creation Group and those Evolvers might have become planetary overlords in a few more years.

The second, he often met a mysterious person claiming to be the Wandering One.

He often dreamed of the pitch-black seabed, of an eerie city underwater, and even saw the ruined seabed Public Security Bureau.

That Wandering One claimed to be Tie Lin.

This time attending the Demon Club auction was guided by the Wandering One.

Jin slowly turned the gold ring on his thumb.

A greenish glow suddenly appeared in the venue.

Keen Extraordinary sensed a strange power appearing and immediately looked towards its source.

Only to see the greenish glow, like ghost fire, descending upon the large box on the stone platform.

That large box was what Ye Fan had just delivered.

After the greenish glow fell onto the large box, it suddenly ignited with green flames.

In mere moments, the large box turned to ashes, revealing the headless corpse of a Celestial Race member inside.

The crowd stared wide-eyed in shock.

Unexpectedly, the treasure used by the Security Administration to trade for the Demon Puzzle was actually a corpse!

That corpse was curled up in the box, and if it stood upright, it would be a three-meter-tall small giant!

Suddenly.

Green flames sparked on the corpse!

Green flames etched runes upon the corpse’s body.

A menacing ghost face appeared on the corpse’s abdomen!

The corpse, actually stood up!

The Celestial corpse, resurrected!

This form resembled the mythical headless War God, Xing Tian!

In that instant, a terrifying pressure swept through the auction venue.

Everyone’s soul trembled, their legs quivered!

Ye Fan, Zhang Xiaoyi, and other powerful Extraordinary, even here bore solemn expressions, as a long-lost terror wrapped around their hearts!

Electric sparks surged from Zhang Xiaoyi, instantly vanishing from his seat, appearing beside Ye Fan.

He stared intently at Ye Fan:

"Ye Fan, what the hell is that!"

Ye Fan was bewildered at this moment, dazedly said:

"It’s, it’s a corpse brought out by a Whale Bird from the seabed.

But, it’s a corpse! How did it come alive?"

The Celestial corpse shook its shoulders, as if testing its new body, from the ghost face on its abdomen, the mouth opened:

"Haven’t left the seabed in a very long time, can’t remember how many years it’s been."

In contrast to the panic among the Extraordinary present, Jin was much more composed, even had a smile on his lips.

The Celestial corpse’s voice, Jin was all too familiar with, it was the voice of the Wandering One Tie Lin.

It seemed Tie Lin had completely taken over that body.

As agreed, Tie Lin would kill everyone here and deliver the corpse to Jin for research.

The eyes in the ghost face on the Celestial corpse’s abdomen rotated, like real eyes.

It glanced around, the expression on the ghost face turned ferocious.

The Celestial corpse’s eerie voice echoed through the cave:

"Clearly, clearly the president has ended the Extraordinary Era!

Why, why do the later generations restart this era!

This filth, lawless, life-disregarding... sorrowful era!"

Two undead creatures attempted to seize the Celestial corpse, but with just one encounter, they were scattered by the corpse.

The Celestial’s voice grew colder, the ghost face’s expression increasingly angry.

The momentum of the Celestial corpse kept rising, reaching its peak, it clenched its fist:

"Since you all like cultivation, then let you cultivate to your heart’s content in the Yellow Springs!"

Its voice, as if crawling out from the Nine Netherworld Hell, made everyone shiver.

Ye Fan, the Iron Head boy, stepped forward, clasped his fists and asked:

"Senior, who exactly are you?!"

The ghost face on the Celestial corpse turned confused, it murmured:

"Me? Who am I? Who am I really?"

The Celestial corpse suddenly realized something, opened its Ghost Eye wide:

"South Sea City, Public Security Bureau, Director, Tie Lin!"

........

PS:

At the end of the previous book, the author mentioned that this book is related to the previous one.

Many good buddies thought this book was a sequel to the previous one.

But upon reading here, old readers should know, this book’s timeline precedes the previous book.

Those Wandering Ones all hail from the future.

The old monk is the Elder Buddha from the previous book.

Tie Lin was the devoted Security Bureau director from the previous one.

He despised the Extraordinary Era, as Tie Lin was born in the wrong era.

If not for the Extraordinary Era, Tie Lin would certainly have been a good sheriff.

Unfortunately, Tie Lin was born in chaos, ambitious yet unable to achieve.

At that time, Tie Lin was the most scorned.

In the previous book’s ending, Tie Lin willingly became the Lost City to entrap numerous Celestials (Demon Race) for the victory at Changbai Mountain.

Of course, new readers can enjoy the story without any effect.
