Whether as a simple human being, as the landlord of the unusual creatures, or as an executor of the "goddess", Hao Ren could not turn a blind eye to The Day of Return. No matter what the truth of this incident was, it could break the balance on Earth. Hao Ren did not know if he should stop it. In fact, he felt that he might not be able to stop it, but he really wanted to know the truth about The Day of Return.
At present, the most reliable source of information was, of course, the sirens. They were the ones who brought the news of The Day of Return from the deep sea. However, the messengers seemed to have retreated back to the deep sea. The two werewolf elders mentioned this before they left: the sirens who came ashore had left the land in 1976 at the latest. So, it seemed impossible to find the messengers. Perhaps there were other sirens who had given up their mission like Wuyue's mother, but no one knew where they were now. Looking for them would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Hao Ren did not intend to look for the sirens for the time being.
Going directly to the deep sea seemed to be difficult. Even Wuyue, who had the blood of the sirens, could not get close to some forbidden places. Hao Ren felt that it would be difficult for him to do so. More importantly, there were many unusual creatures and demon hunters all over the world who had their eyes on the deep sea. Going there rashly could very well bring unnecessary trouble. So, it was better to explore the deep sea when he had more information.
For Hao Ren, there was only one place that was the easiest to enter and the most likely place to get information, and that was The Plane of Dreams.
Going to The Plane of Dreams might not necessarily lead to information about The Day of Return, but at least he could have a deeper understanding of the unusual creatures on Earth. Looking at things from a different perspective could often break the deadlock. Hao Ren was very much looking forward to it.
Hao Ren gathered everyone at home to discuss the matter. Lil Pea hung on his arm and listened. He explained his idea in a few words and then looked at Vivian. "Do you still remember the few pieces of paper I gave you when I came back from the alien planet? This time, you can go and see for yourself. You are the only rune expert among us. "
The last time Hao Ren went to the alien planet to pick up Lil Pea, he accidentally fell into The Plane of Dreams. He copied down the Letta runes he saw in that world. After Vivian translated them, those runes were very ordinary sentences to ward off evil spirits and pray for good luck. However, Hao Ren felt that there must be more Letta runes used in various places in The Plane of Dreams. If he brought Vivian there this time, it would be equivalent to having a portable translator.
Y 'zaks was the only one who came from another world. He smiled with great interest. "I heard that the otherworldlings on this planet came from there. I've always wanted to go and have a look. But can you bring someone in?"
"I'm thinking about it too." Hao Ren looked down at his hands. "I've brought things between The Plane of Dreams and the real world a few times. My clothes, shoes, and the things I'm holding in my hands can be brought in and out of The Plane of Dreams. So, I guess the trick to bringing things in is to carry them with me, or skin to skin. But, I don't know if I can use this method to bring people in …"
"You've thought of a lot of things, and this is the last thing you want to tell me?" The MDT had been silent for a long time. Now, it finally popped up to show its presence. "Don't tell me your idea is to hang people on your body and bring them in like wearing clothes?"
Nangong Wuyue immediately cheered up. "Oh, that's a good idea. I can use my tail to wrap Mr. Landlord like last time. It's tighter than clothes."
"Don't be silly." Hao Ren waved his hand awkwardly. He seemed to have realized that his idea was a little unreliable. It seemed that bringing people into The Plane of Dreams really required a lot of planning. "MDT, do you have any good ideas?"
"I'm checking the database. There are some reports about The Plane of Dreams in the shared database of the local universe …" The MDT muttered. "Err, there's too little information. And it's all about individuals, no team projects."
"Let's discuss it with the goddess," Y 'zaks said calmly. "In my experience, this kind of behavior, which is similar to projection into another world, is accompanied by danger. A little imprecise movement may throw the person to an unknown place. I know a guy who wore a mithril bracelet when he was teleported to the human world and was thrown to the Pontiff's City. He died a horrible death."
Hao Ren suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He put the MDT away and prepared to teleport. "Then let's not delay any longer. I'll go find Raven 12345 now."
But just as he stood up, before he could activate the teleportation, Vivian pointed at his arm and said, "Put down your bracelet first."
Hao Ren looked down and saw Lil Pea was hugging his arm. Her whole body was stuck to his little arm like a piece of dog skin plaster. The little one looked up at her 'dad' with her eyes wide open. She made a series of purring sounds and then happily patted her tail. It did not matter why she was happy, she was very happy. There were only two states of this little thing 24 hours a day: happy and very happy.
Y 'zaks had just told him about the tragedy of the mithril bracelet and this little one had come to act as his daughter's bracelet. Although she would not necessarily cause the teleportation to fail, Hao Ren still pulled the little one down. "Stay at home. You're too small. If you go out, I won't be able to find you."
The little one landed on the table and began to jump around. But she seemed to understand Hao Ren's words and did not pester him again. Nangong Wuyue found a chopstick to distract Lil Pea while Hao Ren took the opportunity to activate the teleportation function of the MDT.
In a trance, light and shadow changed. When the light around him stabilized, he was already in front of the bungalow shrouded in thick fog.
The sky was overcast.
"This …" Hao Ren looked up at the sky in shock. He had never seen such bad weather near Raven 12345's house. As the residence of the goddess, this bungalow should always be full of light and warmth. But now it was shrouded in gloomy dark clouds. The sky and all directions were covered with thick clouds. Clouds of gray and black fog rolled like a restless sea from all directions towards the bungalow. The floating building was like a lonely island in a storm. The scenery around it was depressing and terrifying.
"Boom!"
A loud noise startled Hao Ren. He saw an unprecedentedly huge purple lightning bolt burst out from the southeast like a python. In the blink of an eye, it traversed the entire space. The lightning bolt stirred up layers of ripples in the clouds.
Gusts of cold wind whistled in the garden in front of the bungalow. Hao Ren finally remembered to tighten his clothes. He was shocked. How did the residence of the goddess suddenly become like this?
No one in the garden could answer his question, and the arcane servants did not seem to be patrolling outside. Hao Ren came to the door of the bungalow alone. Fortunately, the door was still functioning. It opened silently, revealing a deep, wide, and bright corridor inside.
After entering the door, Hao Ren felt relaxed. The bad weather outside was completely isolated. At least inside the bungalow, it was as peaceful as usual. However, through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, he could still see the dense dark clouds that were almost pressing down on the outer wall of the bungalow.
A strange electric current came from the side. A few meters away, a blue light converged into a tall humanoid creature. This humanoid creature nodded at Hao Ren, and Hao Ren finally felt relieved. Big Bluey looked normal.
"I'm looking for Raven 12345," said Hao Ren.
Big Bluey was as quiet as usual. It only nodded, turned around, and led Hao Ren towards the direction of Raven's office.
Pushing open the door of the office, Hao Ren saw a silver-haired figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the scenery outside. Big Bluey whistled a few times in greeting before slowly dissipating into the air. Hao Ren walked into the house and sat down on a chair as usual. He shouted, "Hey, I thought something big had happened. It's cloudy outside, and there's lightning … I'm here to ask you something."
Raven turned around and looked at Hao Ren curiously. "You're Hao Ren? The interesting assistant that 12345 mentioned? "
Hao Ren: "…?"
