“Ting Yu, wake up.”
“What should we do? It’s been over four hours, and he still hasn’t woken up.”
“Step aside, let me handle this.”
As dawn approached, at the entrance of No. 46 Xing Yu Alley.
Yanhua's right thumb was pressing firmly on Yan Qing's acupoint, and just by looking at her tense and powerful fingers, one could tell how much strength she was using.
Soon, a red mark appeared on Yan Qing's skin from the pressure.
“Cough, cough, cough.”
Three blurry figures appeared before Yan Qing. As she squinted through her slightly opened eyelids, they gradually came into focus—Yanhua, Cai Dai, and He Zi.
Yan Qing straightened her upper body and said in a hoarse voice, “What are you doing here? Didn’t that Ability User already launch an attack? Quickly isolate this area and report to headquarters.”
Suddenly, Yan Qing turned her head to notice Yanhua standing nearby unharmed. “Are you okay?”
Yanhua felt a surge of emotion and touched her ponytail.
In such a situation, Ting Yu still remembered to check on her safety.
“I’m fine. Ting Yu, why have you been in the dream for so long? What do you mean by isolation zone? Did you encounter the Ability User in the illusion? Did he attack?”
He Zi crouched down politely in front of Yan Qing and asked, “You’ve been unconscious for over four hours. If you don’t wake up soon, we were ready to carry you to the hospital. Do you feel any better now? If you’re feeling better, could you tell us what you saw in the illusion?”
Yan Qing shifted her body against the tightly closed door of the Tao Family Mansion and opened the disc in her hand, slowly beginning to upload information onto it. “When I entered the illusion, I was holding a new wedding invitation and happened to stumble upon the wedding of Tao Yiran from the Tao Family’s ancestors and a woman named Jiang Wenyu.”
Cai Dai furrowed her brows and asked, “Invitation? We didn’t receive any Invitation in the dream. How did you get it?”
“Yeah, little brother, as soon as we entered, we were running around in the Tao Residence, finding nothing at all. We didn’t even see a single person and were forced to navigate a maze inside,” she added.
“It took Box and me a whole hour to find the fireworks, and only then did we start looking for you. But when we tried to find you, no matter what, we couldn’t. After that, we mysteriously woke up at the entrance of the Tao Residence,” she continued.
Box chimed in, “That’s right. When the three of us woke up, you were the only one still asleep. We thought you might have entered the Mindset, so we planned to wait for you to wake up. But now, with just half an hour left until dawn, we hurried to wake you.”
Yan Qing brushed off the dust from his pants, stood up, and adjusted his attire.
“Mindset?”
Box helped Yan Qing up and stood beside him, explaining calmly, “Generally, those who can create dreams are referred to as Ability Users, and their ability is called an illusion. When they create deceptive dreams for their enemies, their own weaknesses are also exposed; this is what we call Mindset. The Mindset usually appears alongside illusions but requires special conditions for outsiders to enter.”
“In the Mindset, it often contains what Ability Users like or fear the most. So once they discover outsiders have entered their Mindset, they will attack. However, if the intruder destroys this dream, it can severely injure the Dream Weaver and break the Mindset.”
Yan Qing nodded thoughtfully and said, “I see.”
No wonder that Ability User attacked him without even greeting him; she wanted him dead because he had peered into her innermost secrets. Who could tolerate that?
“As soon as I entered the Mindset, I was attacked by her. It seems that’s the reason. But from what you just said, it seems only I entered this Mindset. Why is that?”
The fireworks shook her twin ponytails and mumbled with her mouth full of candy, “Who knows? Maybe you’re just more likable.”
Cai Dai crossed her arms and scanned Yan Qing from head to toe: “Is it because of the Invitation in your hand?”
“Invitation? I’m not sure. When I entered the Mindset, I already had this thing,” he replied.
Box shook his head and said, “It must be because of the Invitation. Do you remember if you touched anything unusual when you entered the Tao Residence? You probably triggered a formation set by the Ability User, which allowed you to enter the Mindset.”
"Could it be something else? I think that's impossible."
Yan Qing denied, "I didn't touch any formation. When I entered to look for the fireworks, as soon as I stepped through the door, the mist obscured my vision. By the time I opened my eyes again, I was already inside the Mindset."
"What... what is going on?"
As everyone was still listening to Yan Qing's analysis, they suddenly heard a sound from the box.
Fireworks bit down on the candy in her mouth, crunching loudly. "What now?"
The box gestured for everyone to look ahead.
The narrow alley that Yan Qing had passed through was now completely sealed off.
The ancient walls showed no signs of any gaps, proving that the mysterious and dim path had never existed here.
Everyone was instantly astonished.
At that time, the box, the ribbons, and the fireworks had thought that Yan Qing had taken a shortcut and suddenly appeared from there, without giving much thought to that place.
Now that they thought about it, it seemed that there had indeed been no sign of that alley on their way here.
