Chapter 319
Shen Ge was still maintaining his triple-threat state of “invisible + silent + traceless.” Even if he landed in a busy downtown area, he wouldn’t have to worry about causing a commotion. Still, to be on the safe side—in case the hidden Monster Organization had any other detection methods he didn’t know about—he used the Invisible Barrier’s “sealing” ability to drop himself onto the rooftop of a commercial building.
Standing at the edge of the rooftop, Shen Ge looked toward the quarantined zone in the distance. Over the past two years, paranormal incidents had become increasingly frequent, and Dajing was no stranger to lockdowns. The citizens had gradually grown accustomed to it.
What was different this time, however, was that because of Asia’s importance to the Paranormal Research Association, they had deployed paranormal-response mechanized units to enforce the blockade. This had stirred up a fair amount of panic among the public, and a large crowd of reporters had gathered just outside the quarantined zone.
“Beep-beep-beep—”
Just then, the paranormal-energy communicator in Shen Ge’s pocket let out a series of urgent alerts. A flood of messages popped up all at once, nearly overwhelming the device.
When Shen Ge opened the communicator, he saw that most of the messages were from Deng Yuqi, followed by Fang Mingyue, Li Xiang, and a few others. Deng Yuqi and Fang Mingyue were both checking in on him while also filling him in on the current situation—after all, Shen Ge had once again gone off the grid without a word.
Li Xiang’s messages, on the other hand, were updates on Cheng Shengnan and the Red Mist Battle Armor. Based on the timestamps of the messages, about eight hours had passed in the “real world” since Shen Ge had entered the Dream World.
In other words, the eight days Shen Ge had spent in the Dream World amounted to just eight hours back in reality. The banquet was long over, and not only had Dajing failed to capture the Monster Organization members lurking in the shadows, but several representatives from other countries’ paranormal-response delegations had also run into trouble. Now, all parties were locked in a heated dispute over the matter.
Shen Ge didn’t understand politics, nor did he care to get involved. Now that he had confirmed the “feasibility” of traveling through the Dream World, the top priority was, of course, to relocate Cheng Shengnan.
