Chapter: Chapter 299
Letizia opened her eyes and gave her sister, who was sitting beside her, a super brazen smile, “Qira, I succeeded!”
Seeing her sister wake up, Qira breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed nothing had gone wrong. It was good that nothing had gone wrong.
“How was it? Did the operation go smoothly?” Qira asked curiously.
“I used my brain a little, and overall it went very smoothly. I also figured out some things, so I made a big profit,” Letizia said with a smile. “By the way, how long did it take?”
“It’s already afternoon. You slept for about four or five hours, sister,” Qira glanced at her watch and said to Letizia.
“The efficiency is a bit low, and I felt like only a little time passed in the dream. Is the time flow different between these two worlds?” Letizia rubbed her temples and murmured, “Tell Bai Ling that I’ve got it. Have her keep an eye on Zimeng and see if that little girl gives herself away.”
“Okay.”
…
“Mhm, I understand.” After hanging up the phone, the boulder in Bai Ling’s heart finally landed. She no longer felt so much pressure. At least this time Letizia was successful.
Next, she had to keep an eye on Zimeng and see if she made any moves.
This was not difficult for Bai Ling. She was already doing just that, concealing all her aura. No ordinary person could detect that there was a person standing so close to them.
Yes, Bai Ling could now be described as a personal surveillance. The direct distance between her and Zimeng was less than five meters.
Zimeng acted like an ordinary girl, completely unaware of Bai Ling’s presence. She was now awkwardly performing some actions that she should have been extremely familiar with, under Xiaoya’s guidance.
“Xiao Meng, didn’t you do these moves very well before? Why are you making so many mistakes now?” Xiaoya asked with a puzzled tone as she told Zimeng what she should be doing.
She felt like Xiao Meng had suddenly become a different person. The previous Xiao Meng was very experienced in acting and could bring her characters to life. But the current Xiao Meng seemed very unfamiliar, even forgetting her lines. This was not normal.
“I haven’t been resting well lately, so…” When asked by Xiaoya, ‘Zimeng’ could only use a very far-fetched excuse. Her abilities were completely ineffective against Xiaoya, and she couldn’t make any small moves.
However, after experimenting all night, she discovered that the bracelet on her hand did not restrict her at all. No matter what she did, the bracelet did not show any alarm. It was probably because the way she used her abilities was different from how ordinary superpowered individuals used their abilities.
But even though the bracelet was ineffective, there was still a human-shaped bracelet watching her. This girl named Xiaoya was incredibly annoying. The deity was really wondering why Zimeng was so close to this girl.
If it were her, she would have shown her displeasure long ago.
Unfortunately, not only could she not show her displeasure now, but she also had to coax this little girl to make her happy. Otherwise, if this girl shared her suspicions with that blond-haired woman, she would probably be locked up again.
Although this could not pose any threat to her main body, it meant that her entire plan would be ruined, and everything she had done so far would be in vain.
She could not complete the ritual in that heavily guarded place. She needed to perform the ritual at the right time and in the right place.
“En?” A piece of information suddenly came into her mind. The deity’s brow furrowed slightly. In her perception, a dream she had captured had shattered.
This was not an ordinary dream. For her, the energy provided by this dream was among the best of all dreams. Therefore, when this dream shattered, she sensed it.
Who did it? Without external interference, her controlled dreams could absolutely not shatter on their own. This was a certain fact, so someone must be interfering.
Then, who could it be?
Who else could it be?
Other than that black-haired girl, the deity could not think of anyone else who could be suspected of committing the crime.
Besides her, only that girl could enter that dream space.
“Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng!” Xiaoya waved her hand in front of the deity’s eyes. She was still asking a question, and now Xiao Meng was daydreaming?
This was too strange.
“Sorry, Xiaoya.” The deity quickly shook her head. She could not act too obviously now. The girl’s destruction of the dream she controlled at this time was definitely not for fun.
She might be trying to do something…
From her dream, she could infer that she definitely knew Xiaoya’s sister, so there was a possibility of cooperation between them. Perhaps this destruction was a trap laid by them together. If she showed any signs of abnormality immediately after sensing something, she would definitely fall into their trap.
They might be waiting for her mistake.
Therefore, she could not appear too obvious and had to act according to her normal daily routine. She could repair that dream tonight. It was only shattered for an afternoon, which was not a big problem.
Thinking this, the deity exhaled a breath of relief, found an excuse about thinking about the plot, and smoothed things over.
Then, she resumed rehearsing her scenes with Xiaoya as if nothing had happened.
Looking at all this, Bai Ling crossed her arms, her eyes flashing with a scrutinizing light. Zimeng’s performance was really interesting. It was a bit strange, yet it gave a very normal feeling. It was hard to say whether it was wrong or right.
She was clearly thinking about other things just now, which could be correlated with the time Letizia destroyed the dream. However, she did nothing afterwards, as if nothing had happened.
Quietly walking out of the classroom where only Xiaoya and Zimeng were present, Bai Ling called Letizia and told her what she had just seen.
“It’s possible she realized this was an attempt to lure her into doing something irrational,” Letizia said after listening to Bai Ling’s account. “Anyway, her initial performance was unusual, and her suspicion is very high now. The next step is even stricter surveillance… By the way, did that woman from Shenzuo find any clues?”
“She said that if we want to defeat that deity, we need to have the ability to fight in the spiritual world.” Speaking of this, Bai Ling immediately became excited. “She also said she would give me special training so I could help too.”
Fighting in the spiritual world? Letizia blinked her eyes. She didn’t have much experience in this area either.
“Then good luck. You’re the main DPS this time.”
“Your spiritual power is clearly higher than mine. Even with special training, I can’t compare to you.” Bai Ling could not accept Letizia’s flattery, which was not entirely flattering. In a real fight, Letizia would be the main DPS.
But Letizia wasn’t lying this time. It was a bit complicated for her to gain strong combat power in that dream space. If Bai Ling could find a way to bypass the restrictions of the dream’s owner, then Bai Ling would indeed be the undisputed DPS.
“I can’t exert much power there, unless the dream’s owner thinks I’m capable, but it’s really difficult to make them think I’m capable,” Letizia told Bai Ling her findings, intending to let Bai Ling know the difference between the dream world and reality.
Bai Ling was clearly unaware of this. After listening to Letizia, she said with some surprise, “That woman didn’t tell me about this.”
“She’s just an ordinary person. She can’t know everything. Besides, it’s my first time entering someone’s dream, and I’m borrowing the power of that deity.” Letizia was not surprised by this outcome at all. She might be the only one in this world who knew this secret.
Dreams had always been a mysterious domain. Even a magic master like Letizia couldn’t peek into someone’s dreams.
As for humans, it was hard to say. After all, human superpowers were not very logical, so perhaps superpower abilities like entering someone’s dream might really appear.
“In short, we need to be prepared. Also, even if you want to help me in the spiritual world, you can’t enter that space, right?” Letizia found a loophole. She could enter that space because of her strange relationship with that deity, but Bai Ling could not. How could she enter?
Perhaps she would have to fight that deity alone later.
Tsk, it’s tough.
“The woman from Shenzuo said she has a way. Besides trusting her, there seems to be no better option,” Bai Ling replied. She had considered this problem, and the woman from Shenzuo had indeed given her a guarantee.
“Oh, the person I found is quite skilled. In that case, I’ll trust you this time. I hope you can really lend a hand when the fight starts.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be there,” Bai Ling promised solemnly.
…
“The space-time has some slight distortions. If my guess is correct, that place should be where she descended,” the white-haired woman stood on top of a tall building, overlooking the land below. Her eyes were covered with a faint starlight. In her vision, the entire spiritual world of Central City had undergone extreme distortion.
And the distorted place was where the deity was about to descend.
“An artifact without a physical form, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a deity. It wasn’t a wasted trip this time.” The starlight in her eyes faded, and the woman exhaled a light breath, leaving that vast starry sky. She was still a little unaccustomed to it.
Fortunately, as a substitute, she had a piece of starry sky beside her.
“I don’t know what to say about her growth over the years,” the white-haired woman shook her head, thinking of the white-haired girl. “I hope everything goes smoothly.”
…
“I say, isn’t the strength of our Shenzuo far superior to that so-and-so cult?” In a small tent, Youyou, with a grim expression, looked at the faction map that had not changed for a long time and asked coldly, “Then, can someone give me an explanation as to why we can’t capture their headquarters?”
The people in red standing in the tent all lowered their heads, not daring to provoke Youyou while she was angry.
But they had really tried their best. On the正面 battlefield, they had completely suppressed the opposing team. Now, the only remaining territory belonging to that cult was the city protected by a barrier.
If they were given more time, that turtle shell would definitely be broken. Their Shenzuo possessed multiple offensive artifacts. As long as these artifacts attacked, that barrier definitely wouldn’t hold.
“Miss Xi, what do you think?” Youyou took a deep breath and looked at the blue trident held by a girl in the corner of the tent.
The other artifact holders were scattered across various front lines. Only Xi was still at the headquarters. That barrier was clearly a method of the enemy’s artifact. At this time, it was better to ask for the advice of their own artifact.
“That barrier contains very complex spatial rules, and it cannot be broken by ordinary means. They may be relying on this to act so fearlessly,” a blue light flashed in the girl’s eyes, and she spoke, “But I remember I saw that guy Po before. She’s most experienced in dealing with these turtle shells.”
Xi had no intention of making a move. The full power output of an artifact had extremely high requirements for the holder’s physique. She was currently acting with Anxi, and Anxi’s talent was not as good as her sister’s. Even if she went to the battlefield, she wouldn’t be able to perform very well.
As for Anxin, that young lady was still recuperating peacefully at the Shenzuo headquarters. It would take at least a year or two to fully recover her health. Unless Shenzuo could find a divine envoy who was highly compatible with Xi on the spot, Xi could only offer suggestions.
After all, not everyone was like Letizia, who could wield an artifact as soon as she got it. Artifact users needed to undergo extensive assessments and selections, and they couldn’t just be used by anyone.
“Miss Po? if it’s not a last resort, I really don’t want her to make a move,” Youyou sighed, covering her face. Sometimes, having too powerful cards in hand was also a problem. “By the way, have the reports sent to headquarters replied yet?”
She asked a person in red responsible for communications. The person asked scratched his head and replied, “No, the master has been in seclusion these days. Perhaps he is in closed-door cultivation.”
“Really, must he choose to cultivate at this time?” Youyou gritted her teeth. The master was sometimes really infuriating. “Continue the persuasion. If there is no reply from the master in two days, and the other side is unwilling to surrender, then let Miss Po begin her performance.”
Upon hearing this, the people in red exchanged glances, and they saw a sense of relief in each other’s eyes. The battle of smashing the turtle shell was finally about to end.
If Miss Po made a move, even a deity’s barrier would not be able to block her attack. They firmly believed this.
