Twisted Dreams

Li Yang’s mind was racing.

There were two different notes on the Hunter’s Manual.

The first kind came from the owner of the Hunter’s Manual, while the last line of small characters came from someone else.

Could it be that this Hunter’s Manual is a letter left for me?

Is someone trapped in the Lost City, asking me to rescue them?

But how did that person know I would be here?

Did that person send this letter here many years in advance, waiting for me to take it?

Li Yang carefully scrutinized that line of small characters, the handwriting became more and more familiar. He looked at Suzu beside him, frowning:

"This is Suzu’s handwriting."

But Suzu was right beside him, and Li Yang was sure Suzu didn’t know what the Lost City was.

What exactly is going on?

Could it be a letter from the future?

Li Yang couldn’t figure it out.

He checked the booklet again and discovered another line on the back:

"My love, if you see this sentence, you must come to save me, or I will die! This place is terrifying!!"

A peculiar expression appeared on Li Yang’s face.

My love?

When did I become Suzu’s love?

"Is it a trap?"

Li Yang thought to himself.

"What are you looking at?"

Suzu suddenly asked, her small head curiously leaning towards the booklet.

Li Yang instinctively tucked the booklet into his chest:

"Nothing."

Suzu pouted:

"So stingy!"

Li Yang did not reply, his gaze distant.

This Lost City, he was becoming more and more intrigued.

Meng Xing once said, don’t go to the Lost City unless you’re Tier Seven.

He was just a step away from Tier Seven, and with the help of the Celestial Ghost, even if he encountered a Tier Seven, it wouldn’t necessarily be a losing battle.

Maybe, go take a look at the Lost City?

He’s always been looking for news about the Wandering Ones, and he’s been quite eager to visit the Lost City.

Now with this booklet, he’s even more inclined to go.

The unknown parties have already made a move, so why not respond?

After all, he is indestructible.

Even if trapped in the Lost City, he could have the Celestial Ghost escape through the Undead Alternate Space, and he could be reborn using the Celestial Ghost.

After making his decision, Li Yang took Suzu’s hand and walked towards the door.

...

Undersea Dragon Palace.

A few humans sat in the guest seats.

The leader was the Whale Bird.

Besides a few administrators, there were two other people.

An old man and a woman.

The old man was dressed in hip-hop clothing; he was Li Tufang, the dean of the Guardian Dao Academy at the Imperial Capital Foreign Language University.

The woman had a great figure, curvy and attractive, with a beautiful face, dressed in a black suit of a security administrator.

Her name was Liu Lingwei, formerly a flight attendant for South Sea Airlines, now a tutor at the Guardian Dao Academy and a nominal administrator of the Security Administration.

Li Yang also knew this woman.

When he was in the Imperial Capital, Li Yang and Liu Lingwei were neighbors of sorts.

Liu Lingwei had asked for Li Yang’s WeChat several times, but Li Yang had always refused.

After leaving the Imperial Capital, Liu Lingwei never saw Li Yang again.

The Turtle Prime Minister stood beside the Crystal Dragon Throne and, smiling, cupped his hands toward several people:

"I’m sorry, His Majesty the Dragon King has an important guest to entertain.

He’ll be here shortly, please enjoy the food and wait a moment."

Whale Bird quickly responded:

"It’s no problem, the Security Administration and the Dragon Palace are like family, no need for formalities."

Meanwhile, Whale Bird’s mind was also pondering.

Could the Dragon King’s guests be human?

Have other forces already established contact with the Dragon Palace?

At this moment, the Dragon King walked out from the back of the Crystal Dragon Throne, accompanied by two people.

Whale Bird was certain these two were human; they bore no traits of the Demon Race.

The Turtle Prime Minister walked quickly to the Dragon King’s side, with a complex expression, and whispered:

"Your Majesty, didn’t I have Xiaoyue inform you that the Security Administration people were coming?

How could you bring your esteemed guests to the hall?"

The Dragon King paused:

"So what?"

The Turtle Prime Minister felt a headache coming on:

"Your Majesty, you need to protect the privacy of the guests.

The relationship between the Security Administration and other Extraordinaries in the human world is...quite delicate."

The Dragon King blinked, puzzled:

"Delicate? How delicate?"

The Turtle Prime Minister sighed.

This Dragon King was great in every way, except his emotional intelligence was too low, lacking the complexities of humans.

The Turtle Prime Minister looked apologetically at Li Yang:

"Apologies, esteemed guest, our Dragon King, our Dragon King is truly...."

Li Yang shook his head:

"It’s okay."

With that, he took Suzu’s hand and started to leave.

The Turtle Prime Minister exclaimed anxiously:

"Esteemed guest, let me see you off!"

After speaking, he hurriedly followed behind Li Yang, walking behind him respectfully, with a bent waist.

The Whale Bird and the group of security administrators fixed their eyes on Li Yang.

They wanted to etch Li Yang’s image into their minds.

Someone whom the Dragon King regards as an esteemed guest is surely no ordinary person.

Li Yang paused and glanced at Whale Bird and the others.

When he saw Li Tufang, his eyes grew deep.

This old man’s soul was a bit strange.

Whale Bird made a friendly gesture of cupping his hands.

Li Yang nodded, pulled down the brim of his hat, and walked out of the Dragon Palace.

Li Tufang glanced at the shocked Liu Lingwei beside him and whispered in her ear:

"You recognize him?"

Liu Lingwei instinctively nodded, then quickly shook her head.

Li Tufang smiled:

"You really do know him."

Liu Lingwei lowered her head and nodded slightly again.

Li Tufang pondered for a moment, then whispered a few words to Liu Lingwei.

Liu Lingwei looked incredulously at Li Tufang:

"Ah? Are you serious?"

Li Tufang nodded with a smile.

Liu Lingwei pondered for a moment:

"Then I’ll give it a try."

Liu Lingwei stood up and walked towards the outside of the Dragon Palace.

Whale Bird asked suspiciously:

"Teacher Liu is...?"

Li Tufang chuckled:

"Don’t worry, she’s just bored and going out for a stroll."

Whale Bird smiled insincerely.

In the undersea world, bored, going out for a stroll.

Look at what you’re saying, do you believe it yourself?

...

At the edge of the Undersea City, Li Yang summoned the Undead Whale, preparing to leave.

At this moment, a woman’s voice called out from the Undersea City:

"Mr. Li, please wait a moment!"

Li Yang turned to see Liu Lingwei catching up.

Suzu discontentedly crinkled her nose, eyeing Liu Lingwei. Why another big-chested girl?

Liu Lingwei, panting heavily, after catching her breath, beamed brightly:

"Mr. Li, long time no see."

Li Yang gave her a gentle smile:

"Indeed, long time no see."

Liu Lingwei, hands behind her back, playfully said:

"Mr. Li, you hid so well, I thought you were just an ordinary businessman."

Li Yang replied:

"I also thought you were just an ordinary flight attendant."

Liu Lingwei laughed and took out her phone:

"So can we add each other on WeChat now?"

Li Yang pointed to Liu Lingwei’s phone:

"This is the undersea; even if this space is magical, your phone will still get waterlogged."

Liu Lingwei was startled, quickly checking her phone.

Sure enough, it wouldn’t turn on.

"Oh no!"

Suzu exclaimed and quickly pulled out a tablet from her bear backpack, but it wouldn’t turn on either.
