Twisted Dreams

Meng Yu stared at the skeleton Death God in front of the fence and said seriously:

"You are a Wanderer."

Li Yang said:

"Wanderers have no family."

Meng Yu asked:

"Have you seen your parents?"

Li Yang was silent for a while.

Grandma said that his parents died in an accident when he was very young.

After his parents passed away, he had a serious illness and forgot many things.

This is the brain’s way of determining that some things are unbearable, so it deletes them on its own.

There are too many such cases in the hospital.

In fact, Li Yang believed he did suffer from amnesia.

After grandma passed away, he had another serious illness and forgot many things.

For example, he was bullied at school.

That memory was discovered when the Fallen Angel first strengthened his soul.

After that memory appeared, Li Yang developed his own Desire Power.

The Desire Potion made with that Desire Power was given to the Heartless Little Monkey by Bodhi.

Meng Yu continued:

"Meng Xing used the magic of Time Travel to take the world back to a long time ago.

Time is like a long river, and Time Travel makes the river flow backward.

When the river flows backward, it stirs up the mud and sand at the bottom to the upstream.

Some of the mud and sand were deeply embedded in that era, which made it impossible for Time Travel to go back completely, and those sediments were called Wanderers.

Some Wanderers lost their power in the Time Travel, some lost their memories.

And some... not only lost their power and memories, but their bodies also changed."

Meng Yu looked at Li Yang:

"For example, your body returned to the state of childhood."

In Li Yang’s mind, waves of shock surged, but fortunately, he was now in a skeleton form, expressionless.

He said:

"Continue."

Meng Yu said:

"Later, your grandma found you and took you home to raise.

At that time, your grandma’s son and daughter-in-law died in an accident, and you conveniently had no memory.

So, your grandma deceived you into believing she was indeed your grandma."

Li Yang was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke:

"You say grandma was murdered? Explain clearly."

Even if what Meng Yu said was true, grandma was still grandma.

Even without a blood relationship, she was still grandma, the person who gave me a home.

Deception?

This cannot be considered deception.

Meng Yu said:

"Your grandma was killed by Meng Xing!"

The Soul Fire in Li Yang’s eye socket leaped suddenly:

"Meng Xing? Heh, you’re indeed trying to deceive me."

Is Meng Yu trying to tell a melodramatic story and then stir up my hatred for Meng Xing?

Such a lowly tactic.

Tears of sorrow appeared on Meng Yu’s face:

"Meng Xing has been observing you all along.

When grandma was seriously ill, Meng Xing could have saved her!

I begged Meng Xing, asking him to save that poor old lady.

You suffered too much in another era, and I don’t want you to live that miserable life again.

But Meng Xing refused!

He had the ability to save her but chose not to; doesn’t this count as harming grandma?!"

Li Yang understood.

Li Yang didn’t consider not saving someone to be harming them.

Why should people save you?

There are many pitiful people in the hospital, and countless people could be saved with just a few hundred thousand.

To the rich, a few hundred thousand is just a drop in the bucket.

But why should the rich have to save anyone?

Li Yang didn’t care about this matter; he asked:

"Why is Meng Xing observing me?

How do you know about these things?"

Meng Yu looked at Li Yang with sadness:

"You really don’t remember anything.

In another era, you were Meng Xing’s sharpest blade.

Meng Xing is observing you because he wants to use you again."

Li Yang began to think.

What Meng Yu said was very detailed and didn’t sound like a lie.

Meng Xing gave him the Desire Magic Jar to resist the impending invasion of the Celestial Race.

According to Meng Yu’s words, it indeed counted as using him.

Li Yang looked at Meng Yu quietly.

Saying grandma deceived him, saying Meng Xing used him.

Objectively, it was true.

But from a subjective viewpoint, the words ’deception’ and ’use’ were truly not good terms.

From her words, it was clear that this woman’s mind was dark enough, much like Suzu, another antagonist.

Tears streaked Meng Yu’s face, her eyes full of sorrow as she reached out to touch Li Yang’s cheek:

"Why do I observe you?

Because I love you, I love you too much.

Although I can’t leave here, my talent allows me to occasionally watch over you.

We fell in love in Meng Xing’s manor, and even Meng Xing didn’t know about this secret romance.

However, we truly are lovers.

I miss you so much. In order to accompany you through the painful days, I endured the soul-tearing pain and attached my longing to a cat.

Do you know?

The one who has always been with you is me!"

Li Yang stared intently at Meng Yu, letting Meng Yu’s soft hands stroke his skeleton.

He fell into memories.

After his grandmother passed away, one afternoon, a little black cat jumped into his arms from the trash can.

The cat’s eyes were very bright and shiny.

It was as if a confused little sprite had entered his world.

The call of the little black cat was very pleasant, like a bell.

So Li Yang named the little black cat Suzu.

Little Suzu, who accompanied him through the darkest days.

Meng Yu had a sweet smile on her face:

"I’ve told you everything I should tell you.

If you don’t want to let me out, it’s okay.

I know you’re very suspicious and trust no one.

But I can wait."

Li Yang slowly took two steps back:

"Then wait."

Meng Yu was stunned.

Li Yang stepped forward and headed towards the third floor.

...

PS: As I mentioned to the readers of the old book, this book is a continuation of the previous one.

Of course, you don’t need to have read the previous book to understand this one.

Recently, many old readers mentioned they forgot the plot of the previous book, saying that the Wandering Ones feel very familiar, but they forgot what they do.

Let me explain to both new and old readers.

The protagonist of the previous book, Meng Xing, established the Hunter Guild and ultimately rallied the world’s Extraordinary Influence to launch a counterattack against the Celestial Race (Demons).

The Hunter Guild led by Meng Xing was the main force in the decisive battle against the Celestial Race at Changbai Mountain.

In that battle, Meng Xing devoured the Divine Tree Fruit, becoming the only god.

He couldn’t completely kill the Lord of the Celestial Race (Our Emperor Long Live), because when the Lord of the Celestial Race died, a new Lord of the Celestial Race would be born.

So, Meng Xing polluted the Lord of the Celestial Race, turning him into a zombie, and banished the zombified Lord of the Celestial Race back to the Celestial world.

The zombified Lord of the Celestial Race would not die, but he would devour the remaining Celestial Race until the Celestial world was destroyed.

...

Li Yang was the most popular character in the old book, second only to the protagonist, so the protagonist of this book is Li Yang.

Li Yang in the old book was an even more insane guy than Yang Xiao in this book, nicknamed the Starving Ghost.

The Starving Ghost was a violent, crazy, vicious, and fastidious ogre.

Li Yang was also the most loyal follower of Meng Xing.

Li Yang was always a part of Meng Xing’s plan, nurturing the most enigmatic power of Meng Xing within himself.

When Meng Xing died, he reclaimed the power within Li Yang and was reborn.

As a result, Li Yang died, consumed alive by the Celestial Race.

...

Su Manman was Meng Xing’s second subordinate, and her hacking skills dominated the entire era.

Thanks to Su Manman’s existence, Li Yang’s online Hunter Guild was able to operate smoothly.

In the early stages, Su Manman was Meng Xing’s most important subordinate, without a doubt.

Originally, Su Manman was a fat and ugly woman, but Meng Xing granted her power, turning her into the most beautiful woman in the world.

...

The Elder Monk in this book is the Master Buddha from the previous book.

Originally, the previous book had a framework where the benevolent Master Buddha and the insidious, wicked Mu Bowen were the same person.

The Daoist Ancestor separated into the Three Pristine Ones, and Master Buddha tried this divine power, finally separating good and evil.

One was the ghostly Mu Bowen, and the other was Master Buddha.

The framework of the Elder Monk in this book is essentially a revisitation of the original outline setting.

At the end of the previous book, Master Buddha went insane.

He witnessed the Director of the Security Administration, Elder Zhang, killing the Celestial Race friend he had reformed.

He had a hard time getting Meng Xing to resurrect that Celestial, only for the Celestial to become a Buddha not long before the Lord of the Celestial Race erased its consciousness, causing Master Buddha’s Dao Heart to collapse.

...

Tie Lin was the head of the Security Bureau in the previous book.

He went to great lengths for the order of the human world.

He was a genius at solving cases and a responsible sheriff.

He even confronted Meng Xing, who had become his master, for the sake of public security.

He was caught awkwardly between the Hunter Guild and the Security Administration.

But because that era was collapsing, with a sharp divide between the rich and the poor, it was practically a dictatorship of those in power.

He was continuously persecuted by his superiors and pressured by Meng Xing.

This character was heavily criticized by the old readers, practically called a Holy Mother.

At the end, he was turned into a city by the protagonist.

The protagonist knew his Holy Mother nature, believing Tie Lin would sacrifice himself for world peace to trap the Celestial Race’s Disguiser force.

Because Tie Lin turned into the Lost City, which housed a large number of Celestial Race, his karma was immense.

Thus, he was like a nail in that era, allowing the protagonist to retain all power and memory after time travel.

...

As for Meng Yu, she was the first demon that the protagonist subdued.

Meng Yu was a complete villain, a subordinate of the Enchanting Demon, one of the Seven Evil Disciples.

She didn’t stir up much trouble, thanks to the protagonist’s suppression.

Many readers at the time suggested giving Li Yang a wife, and I thought Meng Yu would be the most suitable.

But plans couldn’t keep up with changes, and that book ended hastily due to some special reasons.

However, the outline remained.

So Meng Yu’s identity as Li Yang’s wife continues to this day.
