Twisted Dreams

South Sea City, Half-Mountain Villa.

Three o’clock in the afternoon, the sky outside was a bit dim and it was about to rain.

An autumn rain brings a chill, the weather was getting cooler.

Generally, in this weather, people would usually keep their windows closed, but the windows of the villa were wide open.

The damp scent mixed with soil and fallen leaves blew in from outside.

Li Yang liked the flavors of every season.

The shy wind of spring, the exuberant grass of summer, the desolate rain of autumn, the fierce snow of winter.

Since becoming an Extraordinary, he no longer gets sick, and he’s deeply addicted to the various seasonal scents like an addict.

In fact, this could be considered a kind of love for life.

Li Yang nestled on the sofa reading a book.

He loved this feeling of quiet too much.

However, his peace didn’t last long.

The villa’s door was flung open with a bang, Suzu and Meng Yu returned.

No one knew when Suzu and Meng Yu became such good friends; Meng Yu went to buy some clothes and Suzu just had to tag along.

After entering, Suzu furrowed her little brows and surveyed the surroundings, shouting loudly:

"Li Yang! Why didn’t you close the windows on a rainy day? It’s so damp!"

Cats probably don’t like damp weather.

Suzu ran to the windows and closed each of them.

Meng Yu sat softly beside Li Yang, saying sweetly:

"Sister is so fierce, her mind is so made up!

Unlike me, who only listens to brother, I like whatever brother likes."

Meng Yu started her coquettish act again.

Suzu immediately got annoyed, ran to face Meng Yu, hands on hips, cheeks puffed.

Li Yang was already accustomed to their bickering.

He shook his head and continued reading.

Suzu snorted, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

Meng Yu especially loved to fight with Suzu over things, and now they’re arguing over what type of show to watch.

The TV ended up staying on the news channel.

"Today, unusual weather has appeared across the country..."

As soon as the host’s words fell, Li Yang furrowed his brows and looked out the window.

Outside, the rain had somehow turned into snowflake.

The snowflakes fell into the rain and quickly darkened.

The abnormal scene made Suzu’s mouth drop open.

Suzu was actually quite young this year; she hadn’t experienced many springs, summers, autumns, and winters.

Meng Yu stopped her playful fight with Suzu, her face gradually turning grim.

She always remembered, when the Celestial Race first descended on Blue Star, the weather was just this abnormal.

At this moment, Meng Yu couldn’t help but consider the worst.

Meng Yu slowly turned to Li Yang, her expression serious.

Li Yang looked at the snow outside the window and murmured:

"Such a pity for a thrilling rainy day."

Beidang Mountain, Security Administration.

Inside the meeting room, all the safety administrators sat solemnly; recently, a big matter had occurred.

Cao Yi was late, he walked into the meeting room, and all the safety administrators got up to salute.

Cao Yi pressed his hand downward, indicating everyone to sit down.

He looked at his secretary, Zhou Ziyi:

"Ziyi, you can start now."

Zhou Ziyi nodded, opened the meeting projection, and began playing several case files:

"These are recent anomaly events, mainly occurring in the Northeast.

These anomaly events differ from the usual; this time the scale is large and the goals are concentrated."

Zhou Ziyi opened several pictures.

The images were of various crime scenes.

The scene was like a Hell on earth, with human body remnants everywhere.

If those present hadn’t once been soldiers who experienced life and death, or handled homicide cases as sheriffs, they would likely have had a physical reaction and vomited on the spot after seeing these photos.

Zhou Ziyi then clicked on a photo:

"This is a photo of the perpetrator captured in the surveillance area."

In the photo were monsters with pig heads and human bodies, or bear bodies and human faces.

Zhou Ziyi continued:

"These two photos were captured accidentally; there are actually more than these perpetrators.

According to the investigation by the forensic department, behind every anomaly event, there are several different monsters.

So, this time our enemies are numerous."

A safety administrator, codenamed Bai Ge, suddenly shouted:

"Aren’t these the Demon Race?!"

All the safety administrators fell silent.

Their first reaction was the same as this safety administrator.

Monsters with both animal and human features, aren’t they the Demon Race?

This safety administrator, codenamed Bai Ge, was previously responsible for the Safety Management Station in Bai Mountain City and had dealt with the Demon Race many times.

Originally, he was a loyal supporter of Zheng Qian, but after Zheng Qian’s death, he was completely subdued by Cao Yi.

Cao Yi had Bai Ge’s criminal evidence and could take Bai Ge’s life at any time. Under Cao Yi’s methods, it could be said Bai Ge had become a death warrior for Cao Yi.

Bai Ge continued:

"I’m the one here who’s dealt with the Demon Race the most, it’s definitely the Demon Race.

The Demon Race signed a peace treaty with us, are they openly violating it now?

I think we should talk to Ye Fan of the Ye Demon Department!"

Cao Yi didn’t contradict Bai Ge’s words and looked at the other administrators:

"What are your opinions?"

A safety administrator frowned:

"In my view, this is also the Demon Race causing trouble.

It’s possible this isn’t the doing of the Changbai Mountain Demon Race, but other Demon Race groups."

Another safety administrator agreed:

"Yeah, the incidents occurred in the Northeast; everyone knows the Northeast is full of old forests.

With the Spiritual Energy Revival so long, it might just be other areas in the Northeast where Demon Race appeared."

Senior Administrator Whale Bird nodded:

"I also think so.

During the nationwide hunt for Jin, I also discovered many Demons not belonging to the Changbai Mountain.

Perhaps those who committed these slaughters are those guys.

Besides, the Changbai Mountain Demon Race doesn’t have any reason to attack humans.

As everyone knows, the talk about the Demon Race speeding up their cultivation by devouring humans are legends and rumors.

The Changbai Mountain Demon Race is affluent thanks to the abundant resources of Changbai Mountain, even more than the Security Administration, why seek this thrill?"

Bai Ge said:

"After all, this concerns the Demon Race, it’s best to call Ye Fan of the Ye Demon Department back for a talk.

No matter what, he is still a Senior Administrator of the Security Administration."

Bai Ge said this entirely for Cao Yi’s sake.

Cao Yi was increasingly unable to command Ye Fan, so Bai Ge wanted to help Cao Yi suppress Ye Fan’s influence.

The meeting went on for quite a while, Cao Yi hardly spoke.

Everyone’s opinion was quite unified, they all thought this was the Demon Race causing trouble and needed Ye Fan to be called back for discussion.

After the meeting adjourned, Cao Yi sat in his chair and didn’t leave for a long time.

Zhou Ziyi brought over a cup of coffee:

"Leader, although the meeting’s outcome is to recall Ye Fan, you didn’t say anything.

What’s your opinion, I think you have an idea."

Cao Yi picked up the coffee and started:

"I believe it’s not the Demon Race causing trouble, but something else entirely."

Zhou Ziyi looked at Cao Yi in surprise:

"Not the Demon Race causing trouble? Then what is it?"

Cao Yi cast a glance at Zhou Ziyi:

"How would I know."

Zhou Ziyi became curious:

"Then why do you think it’s not the Demon Race causing trouble? The video clearly shows the Demon Race."
