Twisted Dreams-Chapter 105 - 77: Extraordinary Ruins

The boss found it reasonable and waved his hand:

"Get rid of the old monk, I have official approval, demolish it for me!"

A few workers grabbed the old abbot and took him aside.

The old abbot couldn’t resist the shoving of several strong men, so he had to stand aside, watching the bulldozers and excavators break down the temple gates.

As the dust flew up, the old abbot sighed and said to the workers beside him:

"Destroying temples and breaking monasteries is a huge taboo that harms one’s fortune, you should leave quickly."

The worker lowered his brow:

"It’s almost New Year, our wives and children are waiting for us to bring money back.

If we don’t do this work, the boss won’t pay us.

If life wasn’t so hard, who would want to do such heartless work?"

The old abbot closed his eyes helplessly, as if unwilling to see the tragic situation that would unfold next, and recited a Buddhist blessing:

"I hope the gods have a benevolent heart!"

Just as the bulldozer smashed down the main hall and the Buddha statue collapsed, a mysterious fog suddenly arrived.

The fog was huge, enveloping the entire mountain, and it was so thick that visibility was very low.

"Roar!"

A roar of some unknown creature made the hair on everyone’s body stand on end!

The boss asked in panic:

"What’s going on?! Sir!"

The ’master’ holding a compass was also dumbfounded.

Is there really a demon?

The boss fumbled around:

"Sir, sir! Where are you?"

He jolted and suddenly felt something slimy with both his hands!

"Ah!!!!"

The master let out a heart-wrenching scream:

"Ah!!! Don’t bite me! What monster! Old monk! Master! Save me!"

The boss widened his eyes in terror, seeing a very long and tall monster, sticking out its snake-like tongue, staring at him.

The old abbot sat cross-legged:

"Amitabha."

"Qilin, may you not stray from your path from now on."

After saying this, the old abbot’s head drooped, his end had come.

.....

Imperial Capital, Security Administration Building.

The building was rebuilt from the foundation of another office building.

The Security Administration had already been divided into departments.

The core members were called Administrators.

In the security management meeting, a big screen was displaying real-time images of the Great Compassion Temple sent back by drones.

The thick fog had almost turned the place into a milky white mass, and the roars of monsters could occasionally be heard.

Elder He spoke in a deep voice:

"That thick fog is very strange, electronic devices all malfunction within it.

Many strange creatures seem to emerge from there.

The place is deserted except for the construction team lost inside, which counts as lucky in misfortune.

The local security bureau’s rescue personnel have gone there, but none have returned.

It’s rumored that the Great Compassion Temple was suppressing evil demons.

What does everyone think of this?"

The group remained silent.

Such supernatural phenomena obviously exceeded their range of understanding.

Elder He looked at Wei Ming, who seemed pensive, his eyes brightened:

"Comrade Wei Ming, what are your thoughts?"

He pinned his hopes on Wei Ming, this young man always seemed to provide crucial insights on the Spiritual Energy Revival.

Wei Ming furrowed his brows.

Electronic devices losing function?

Monsters appearing?

Why does this resemble relics from fantasy novels or the emergence of a Secret Realm?

He stood up, suspiciously:

"Has the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain, Master Zhang, arrived at the scene?"

Elder He nodded:

"He has arrived."

Wei Ming asked:

"Could we ask Daoist Zhang if the area is filled with Spiritual Qi?"

Elder He nodded and immediately contacted Zhang Xiaoyi. After receiving an answer, he looked at Wei Ming in surprise:

"Indeed, the place is filled with special energy, Master Zhang says it is the power of Spiritual Power, that is, Spiritual Qi."

Sweat appeared on Wei Ming’s palms as he continued:

"Has any structure appeared there?"

Has any structure appeared?

Confusion appeared on the faces of everyone present.

Why suddenly say something like that?

Elder He said:

"Daoist Zhang is investigating.

Because electronic devices can’t function in the fog, it will take some time to get an answer.

Comrade Wei Ming, what are you trying to say?"

Wei Ming kept silent, only saying to wait until Daoist Zhang finished his investigation.

Half an hour later, Elder He received a message from Zhang Xiaoyi and looked at Wei Ming in disbelief:

"A large hole was indeed found there, with structures inside and a strong Spiritual Power fluctuation.

Comrade Wei Ming, stop keeping us in suspense, what is going on?"

Everyone also cast curious glances at Wei Ming.

How did he know?

This young man... really has something!

Even a female researcher looked at Wei Ming with eyes full of admiration.

Wei Ming became excited, tightly clenching his hands:

"So it’s true!"

Elder He became anxious:

"Comrade Wei Ming! What information do you know? Speak up!"

Wei Ming took a deep breath and looked at Elder He solemnly:

"Elder He, this is not a natural disaster but an opportunity! It may even be our country’s fate!"

Opportunity?

National fate?

The group looked at each other; is it really so serious?

Wei Ming said:

"I have thought deeply about the great changes in heaven and earth, and the Spiritual Energy Revival.

Demons have appeared, cultivators have emerged, and even some other extraordinary beings have surfaced.

I’ve been wondering, why the great changes? Why the revival of Spiritual Qi?

Is it simply because humans destroyed the environment?

I don’t think it’s that simple!"

Wei Ming said as he glanced at the group.

These elites in various fields listened to him like elementary students, with some even taking notes. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Wei Ming’s vanity was greatly satisfied, and he continued speaking like a teacher:

"Since Spiritual Qi has revived, there must have been an Extraordinary Era!

In that era, various extraordinary civilizations thrived, with extraordinary people and demons everywhere!

I speculate that something must have happened later, causing the End of the Dharma Era to arrive."

End of the Dharma Era, it was a familiar yet unfamiliar term.

The group listened while taking notes, and pondering.

Wei Ming continued:

"I don’t know why Spiritual Qi dried up, nor can I think of why it revived.

But I know one thing!

All secrets can be found in the structures within the fog!

Because those are ruins! Extraordinary ruins!

The relics of countless opportunities and possibilities!"

These words exploded like thunder in everyone’s ears!

Elder He quickly asked:

"Extraordinary ruins?

Are you saying relics left by extraordinary civilizations?!"

A historian exclaimed excitedly:

"If these are extraordinary ruins, we can learn the stories of the extraordinary!

We can explore the secrets of the End of the Dharma Era and the Spiritual Energy Revival!

The Xia Country is the only place in the world where Spiritual Energy Revival has occurred.

And it’s also the first place where extraordinary ruins appeared!

If we master the extraordinary intelligence unknown to other countries, we can be at the forefront during the great changes in the world!"

The group delightedly began discussing it eagerly.

"Truly, heaven blesses the Xia Country!"

"There must be extraordinary items within the extraordinary ruins!"

"Exactly, not only can we unearth the secrets of the extraordinary, but we can also possess extraordinary items!"

Elder He said solemnly:

"Alright! In that case, seal off the area!

Researchers and Administrators from the Security Administration, please proceed to investigate!

Comrade Wei Ming, please also participate in this operation, but prioritize your safety first!"

Wei Ming saluted:

"Yes!"
