Chapter: Chapter 296
Speaking of serious matters, Bai Ling immediately straightened her attitude, tucking away her previous flippancy. “We’ve found someone. Here’s her photo and detailed information. Take a look.”
Bai Ling transferred a file to Leticia’s computer. As Leticia opened it, her eyes widened. She recognized this plump, big sister!
The owner of the coffee shop she saw in her dream was this fat woman!
After quickly reviewing the information Bai Ling sent, Leticia had an expression as if she had won the lottery. “If I told you that I dreamt of this person without knowing her at all, and that she coincidentally owns a coffee shop that’s doing unbelievably well, would you believe me?”
Bai Ling and Kira both shook their heads. Such an event was too fantastical for them to believe.
However, this was indeed reality.
“Now I can confirm it. My dream is no longer an ordinary dream. It seems that I’ve unconsciously connected with the consciousness of those who are asleep and entered their dreams,” Leticia said in a low voice. “But this information says that this woman’s coffee shop is poorly managed and on the verge of closing, while in the dream, her coffee shop was doing very well.”
“People always dream of good things, right? If you had nightmares every day, would anyone like to dream?” Kira found this easy to understand. It was precisely because the dream was a good one that this fat woman was unwilling to wake up.
“That makes sense. In the dream, I also met that blonde guy. In the dream, he was an SSS-class hero in the Hero Association. This is probably his wish?” Leticia recounted another, more vaguely remembered dream. All she remembered about this dream was the blonde guy and the SSS-class hero.
Bai Ling’s expression turned strange. So this was what her junior thought about?
Should she praise him for being ambitious?
However, SSS-class was a bit exaggerated.
“Ahem, you’ll have plenty of time to chat with that blonde guy later. What we should be concerned about now is why I’m connecting to their consciousness and entering their dreams,” Leticia said, tapping her computer and bringing the topic back from its strange detour. “I suspect that the god who invaded my dream last time gave me some strange ability, which is why I can enter the dreams of those she has captured.”
“It’s possible. But do we really need to know the specific principles? Isn’t it enough to know that Leticia has a way to contact those in the dreams? That way, we can also figure out what scheme that god is plotting,” Bai Ling spoke up.
“Do you think those daydreamers can provide me with any useful clues?” Leticia unconventionally took a bite of a steamed bun, speaking vaguely. “Don’t expect those guys to be of any use. To use a divine analogy for these people… what was it…”
Leticia racked her brain but couldn’t recall how the colorful god referred to those dream worlds, but she could guess most of it.
“Perhaps they’re like power banks. Dream worlds are likely sources of energy for the god of dreams. The number of people falling asleep is increasing every day, which means this god is accumulating power. As for what she plans to do with that power, there doesn’t seem to be any other option for us,” Leticia shrugged. The gods who caused trouble that she encountered were all for one reason: to break free from their constraints.
And those gods who didn’t cause trouble, in their hearts, also wished for a freer life. However, their personalities prevented them from doing anything too drastic. They were more inclined to cooperate with mortals in the current era to gain a certain amount of freedom.
“To break free from the seal, isn’t that like saying nothing?” Kira scratched her head. Everyone knew this; surely no one was unaware of this fact?
No way, right?
“I see!” Bai Ling slapped her palm, looking enlightened.
Kira’s expression immediately became a lot stranger. So there really was someone who didn’t know. Had she overestimated Sister Bai’s brain?
“Alright, although we can guess her objective, we still need to continue speculating about the specific methods,” Leticia said, tapping her sister’s forehead. Didn’t this silly girl know to play along?
Look how cooperative Bai Ling was. Such a performance made Leticia feel very comfortable and full of motivation.
“And this problem is something that Bai Ling needs to solve. I can only go into the dream worlds and cause some disruption, so that her plan doesn’t proceed so smoothly,” Leticia explained her plan. She intended to spend the next few days immersed in dreams, disrupting the god. Bai Ling would find solutions in the real world, and she would stall the god in the dream world. This division of labor was quite good, wasn’t it?
“Isn’t that too dangerous?” Bai Ling asked worriedly. This was trouble that involved direct dealings with a god. Wasn’t it a bit reckless for Leticia to go alone?
“Yes, Sister, this is too dangerous. I say, why don’t you just not sleep for these few days?” Kira had the same idea. In dreams, Leticia would be directly confronting the god. Her sister definitely couldn’t defeat that god.
What if Sister was caught by the god?
Regarding their concerns, Leticia stated that there was no problem at all. She was an experienced driver. The god had confronted her twice, and hadn’t she gained any advantage? If anything, she thought the god’s strength might not be that great.
“Moreover, I can figure out some things by sneaking into dreams. Bai Ling, from now on, you need to closely monitor all sleeping people. While I’m asleep, you must keep a close eye on Zi Meng. If there are any signs of her falling asleep, you must inform me immediately,” Leticia said very seriously to Bai Ling. “If Zi Meng has no connection to that god, then I will encounter the god in my dreams when she is awake.”
“Conversely, if I never encounter that god, it means our previous speculation is correct, and Zi Meng is indeed connected to the god. It is highly likely that she is possessed by the god, and the current Zi Meng is the god.”
“Okay, I’ll personally go and watch Zi Meng, and I’ll make sure she doesn’t get to sleep.” Bai Ling seemed inspired by Leticia’s emotions and became much more serious.
No, making her unable to sleep was a bit too much. Leticia covered her face helplessly. “You just need to watch her. If she wants to sleep, tell Kira, and then have Kira wake me up.”
If her disruption was effective, and if Zi Meng truly had a problem as she suspected, then Zi Meng would definitely show abnormalities at that time, such as trying to sleep by any means necessary.
As soon as she did something like that, her suspicion would be completely confirmed. Then, it would be a matter of figuring out how to set a trap for her.
After listening to Leticia’s idea, Miss Bai nodded. This method did sound very good, but what if Zi Meng was not the god?
Leticia’s guarantee of her own safety was entirely based on the premise that Zi Meng was the god. If Zi Meng was not the god, wouldn’t Leticia going over like this be akin to sending herself to the god as food?
“I’ve already confronted her twice. Can she do anything to me?” To this, Leticia replied that there was no problem. She might not be as strong as the god in a direct confrontation, but it wouldn’t be easy for the god to catch her. When it came to escaping, Leticia was a professional.
Although a Demon King having such professional escape skills was itself a strange thing.
“In any case, be careful,” Bai Ling said to Leticia with great concern. She was terrified that Leticia would never wake up after lying down.
If possible, she would rather replace Leticia and venture deep into the dream world herself, but she couldn’t.
Among the people present, only Leticia could do this.
After deciding on the course of action, Leticia didn’t delay for a moment and directly got into bed, preparing to sleep.
“Kira, close the curtains. I’m going to sleep!”
…
“Sigh, I’m still a bit uneasy.” After hanging up the video call, Bai Ling let out a soft sigh.
“Your relationship with her seems to be quite good.” Before Bai Ling could finish sighing, a clear, cold voice from behind her made her stiffen.
When?!
She turned around and saw the woman that Leticia had introduced just last night floating behind her. This person had no fluctuation of aura at all. In Bai Ling’s perception, this person was as if she didn’t exist at all.
If this woman spoke, she might never discover her existence.
“Do all people from your God Seat like to eavesdrop?” Bai Ling questioned in a displeased tone. She was quite annoyed that her relationship with Leticia had been overheard.
In her eyes, this woman was just an ordinary woman except for her white hair, and not as beautiful as Leticia had described.
What she saw was different from what Leticia saw, which indicated that this woman possessed an extremely advanced disguise spell, so advanced that even she couldn’t see through it.
In other words, this woman’s disguise spell was superior to Kira’s.
Compared to Leticia, it was unknown whose was more formidable, as Leticia had a high probability of making Bai Ling unable to recognize her if she disguised herself seriously.
“Rest assured, I won’t reveal this matter. After all, no one would believe it if it were revealed,” the woman replied without any obvious reaction to Bai Ling’s hostility. “I’m here to tell you that I roughly know what that god intends to do.”
“So soon?!” Hearing the woman’s words, Bai Ling’s eyes widened immediately. It had only been one night. Were people from the God Seat this powerful?
The woman gave a profound smile. “It’s not difficult. You have a shallow understanding of gods, so it’s normal for you to find their actions hard to comprehend. We from the God Seat have been walking alongside gods since birth; you could say we understand them best.”
“And I am considered among the best.”
In that case, this woman was indeed a high-ranking official of the God Seat? Looking at the woman’s confident smile, Bai Ling believed her words by more than half. “Then can you elaborate? For example, how should we deal with this god?”
“You can’t deal with her,” the woman said faintly.
“Huh?” Bai Ling tilted her head. What did she mean by “can’t deal with her”? Shouldn’t it be easy to deal with her after knowing what she was going to do?
The woman shook her head and explained, “Unless you never sleep and have no desires in your heart, that god will always find an opportunity to make you lose yourself in a beautiful dream.”
It was somewhat difficult to deal with a god whose本体 was nowhere to be found in the real world. This was the first time the woman had encountered a god in such a form.
Without an exposed divine artifact, the possibility of directly entering the divine artifact space and beating the god into understanding who ruled this era was lost. The most convenient old method could not be used.
And scheming was not the woman’s forte. What she excelled at was crushing her enemies with sheer strength.
As long as she had the strength to ignore all schemes, she didn’t need to care about any hidden surveillance.
“Her main body exists in another world, a world parallel to ours. To defeat her, one must enter that world, but it is very, very difficult. That world is too vast, and finding her is already a troublesome matter,” the woman continued. This time, she didn’t intend to take action but rather to play a supporting role. “However, as long as she wants to borrow the power of the real world, she must approach the real world at that time. That will be our opportunity.”
The woman clenched her fist. “The opportunity to eliminate her.”
Eliminate? Bai Ling felt that this woman overestimated their combat power a bit. She and Leticia, with the cooperation of people from the God Seat, had even failed when fighting a not-so-godly giant sea monster. Now, facing a real god with intelligence, could they really eliminate her?
Having dealt with so many god-level enemies recently, Bai Ling had a rough understanding of her own strength. She was truly unrivaled among mortals, but when facing gods, she had no chance of winning. Only by cooperating with Leticia was there a chance of victory.
Seeing Bai Ling’s expression, the woman chuckled. “Although it’s a bit impolite, I must say that even you, with your current strength, are far from being able to contend with a god, especially when dealing with an enemy in the spiritual world. Your weak spiritual power is completely a hindrance.”
“Then what should I do?”
“Special training.” The woman’s lips curved slightly. “Improve your spiritual power in a short period, at least so you don’t hold them back.”
