Chapter 164 Reality and Dreams

The first ray of sunlight in the morning sprinkled warmly.

Gu Jia opened her eyes drowsily, and felt that her whole body was falling apart, and she couldn't muster any strength.

After sitting up with difficulty, she slowly looked around, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

She jumped up from the ground.

The hotel around her was not the hotel in Gu Jia's memory, but a deserted mountain.

The sunlight penetrated the sparse canopy and sprinkled on her face. Occasionally, a few unknown birds chirped in the woods, as if they came from a very far place.

Gu Jia took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Where is this?

Is my memory missing again?

Did that guy do it?

How long have I been sleeping?

She subconsciously reached for the necklace in front of her, but grabbed nothing.

Gu Jia panicked all of a sudden, fell to the ground, and kept pushing away the leaves on the ground, trying to find the silver necklace.

She searched from early morning to noon, and all the surrounding land was turned over, but she couldn't find it.

Gu Jia's fingernails were full of dirt. She collapsed and grabbed the fallen leaves on the ground, threw them into the air, and shouted angrily, "Did you do it?"

"Why?"

"What do you want?"

Gu Jia's voice echoed in the empty forest, but no one could tell her the answer she wanted.

......

Yaoguang City.

In the chief's office at the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Division.

"Drink this, and your body will get better quickly." Xia Lin got the chicken soup from somewhere and stuffed it in front of Lin Yuan's desk.

"Sister, my body is fine now. If you have anything to ask, just ask directly." Lin Yuan smiled and took the chicken soup stewed by the sister and tasted it.

Sure enough, the sister's cooking skills have not changed at all, and there is no taste at all.

This chicken died in vain.

Seeing that her little tricks were seen through by her junior brother, Xia Lin stopped pretending and asked directly, "Tell me, what is your relationship with [Long]?"

"Don't tell me that it's just an ordinary customer relationship!"

"I have joined Guizhai for decades, and I have never seen [Long] assign tasks to everyone without voting."

"And..." Xia Lin's tone suddenly paused, almost gritting her teeth and said, "You don't even want to give me the permission to enter the 'Sky'."

"Why...why...would you...give...Long???"

"Give me a reasonable explanation!!!"

Xia Lin almost screamed out the last sentence.

When she thought that her most trusted junior brother, the person he trusted the most, was not herself, she was furious.

It's not me who gave him the permission, the entire Sky belongs to him...

Lin Yuan complained in his heart, but he had already thought of an excuse in his mind.

"The deal with Guizhai was negotiated a long time ago."

"As for the permission to enter the 'Sky Dome', if I didn't give it to [Long], your junior brother would be dead now."

Lin Yuan said it very concisely. He knew that his senior sister seemed careless, but in fact she was very careful. The more she talked, the easier it would be to reveal her flaws. He simply gave her more room to think and let her think for herself.

"Senior sister, there is one more thing..." Lin Yuan continued, "About the guy in the abyss, he seems to be getting stronger and stronger."

He told the details of what happened after Xia Lin and others left.

"In addition to descending on the Lord of the Abyss, can that guy also directly affect this world?"

"To forcefully teleport six Lords of the Abyss, and do it at the same time, how much powerful energy is needed to do it..."

Xia Lin's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and a small "Chuan" character squeezed out on her forehead.

"And not only that, as the demon tide approaches, its power will continue to increase."

"Three years later, we..."

"What should we do..."

Xia Lin habitually grabbed her ponytail again, looking at a loss.

Lin Yuan's heart was also heavy, but he still forced himself to look calmer.

In the entire Demon Slaying Division, anyone can panic, anyone can be cowardly.

Only he can never be.

"Don't worry, senior sister, we didn't gain nothing in this battle of the sky."

"We not only killed a Lord of the Abyss, but also obtained crucial intelligence. There are still three years, enough for us to plan."

Lin Yuan comforted.

"You dare to say that!"

"This time you can survive, all thanks to my master, if it weren't for my master..."

Xia Lin was suddenly stunned, and her hands holding the ponytail also subconsciously loosened.

"Yes!"

"And my master is here!"

"My master is invincible!"

"As long as he is here, that bullshit [Infinite True God] is nothing!"

Xia Lin grabbed Lin Yuan's shoulders and shook him vigorously. The more she talked, the more excited she became, like a little fangirl.

Lin Yuan let his senior sister shake him around, and couldn't help but think of the weird red and black mask in his mind.

Ghost snake...

If it was him...

Before Lin Yuan could think about it, the door of the office was pushed open by his secretary.

The secretary was stunned when she saw Xia Lin shaking the chief's shoulders like a spoiled little girl. She didn't know where to look.

The Demon Slayer Division was privately saying that Xia Lin and Lin Yuan had a complicated relationship, but that was limited to private discussions.

Now that the secretary saw it with her own eyes, she was really worried that she would be fired tomorrow because she stepped into the Demon Slayer Division with her left foot first.

"What's the matter?" Lin Yuan didn't think too much. The secretary had been with him for many years and was not someone who didn't know the rules.

Since she came in without even knocking on the door, she must have something very important to report.

"Report to the chief, you have said before that all information about Lu Changsheng should be reported as the highest priority."

"Lu Changsheng has been shuttling between the major cities these days, sometimes crossing several cities in one day, as if he is looking for something."

"Just now, I confirmed the information with Shadow Moon Pavilion. His apprentice seems to be missing."

"Shadow Moon Pavilion is doing its best to find him."

After listening, Lin Yuan ordered without any hesitation, "Let all the law enforcement teams in the main cities and the branches of the Demon Slayer Division mobilize all their personnel to search for Lu Changsheng's apprentice."

"The priority of this matter has been raised to the first level."

"If his apprentice dies in any main city, all the staff in the relevant jurisdiction will be dismissed and imprisoned for investigation!"

A piece of order floated out from the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Division.

Like a huge rock falling into the calm water, it set off a storm.

The law enforcement teams and branches of the Demon Slayer Division in various places all acted like crazy...

Gu Jia suddenly became the focus of attention of the entire human world.

But at this moment, she was standing in front of an old building in a daze.

Childhood memories and the scenes in her eyes gradually overlapped.

Crazy mumblings sounded in her mind from time to time, making Gu Jia unable to tell whether she was in reality or a false dream.

Until a somewhat unfamiliar female voice came abruptly.

"Are you...Gu Jia?"

...
