Twisted Dreams-Chapter 94 - 66: Strengthening the Soul
The school canteen was also very simple, just two residential houses.
One house was for cooking, and the other was for eating.
Most students took their meals back to the classrooms to eat.
The canteen only had four tables.
The elderly who helped with chores sat at one table, women at another, and a few children at another table.
Zhang Shi’ai, Wei Ming, Liang Yu, along with the village chief and a few rural teachers, sat together at one table.
Wei Ming sat on Zhang Shi’ai’s left and right.
The alluring beauty sat beside them, making them feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles, afraid to let even a ripple of emotion show.
They knew this woman was a dangerous Extraordinary, one who could easily take their lives.
Liang Yu secretly cursed his own misjudgment.
If Zhang Shi’ai was doing something shady today, he could use his official status to threaten her and then ensure his own safe departure.
But since Zhang Shi’ai was doing charity, it was wrong of them to follow her, and they might have annoyed her.
The current situation was even more dangerous than sitting among a group of criminals.
An old lady said with a smile to Zhang Shi’ai:
"These two faces are new, isn’t Teacher Zhang going to introduce them?"
Zhang Shi’ai glanced at the two of them, and said coldly:
"Aren’t you two going to introduce yourselves?"
Wei Ming stared at his nose, and his nose at his heart.
He was frantically thinking of a strategy.
When going out, your identity is self-given.
The question was, what identity could he give himself now that would resolve the awkwardness cleverly?
There must be a way!
While Wei Ming was thinking of a strategy, Liang Yu put down his chopsticks and said unhurriedly:
"We work for the government."
Wei Ming looked incredulously at Liang Yu, did he just admit it so openly?
He secretly observed Zhang Shi’ai and saw that her eyes were clearly brewing a dangerous murderous intent.
The village chief’s expression turned serious:
"Oh, so the leaders have come. May I ask what instructions there are from above?"
Don’t underestimate a village officer; the village chief also holds an official position.
Liang Yu continued:
"Teacher Zhang invited us here. Before coming, she spoke of the difficulties faced by Yu Lu Village.
Seeing it today, it’s indeed the case.
Is our village still without electricity?"
The room became quiet, and even the children’s table made no sound with their dishes and chopsticks. They looked at Liang Yu expectantly.
Even Zhang Shi’ai turned slightly to the side.
Liang Yu let out a breath of relief:
"I’ll solve the electricity issue!
I swear on my official hat, I will make sure Yu Lu Village gets electricity as soon as I return!
If not, let me meet a violent death!"
Everyone in the room let out a gasp.
Every face was filled with surprise and delight.
The murderous intent in Zhang Shi’ai’s eyes diminished a little.
The village chief excitedly shook Liang Yu’s hand:
"Leader, your words are too serious! Too serious! It’s good that the higher-ups still remember Yu Lu Village!"
Liang Yu glanced at Zhang Shi’ai.
Too serious?
This was said for Zhang Shi’ai to hear.
If he didn’t keep his promise, he’d accept being crushed by Zhang Shi’ai.
Ensuring electricity for Yu Lu Village, could this win him a chance at survival?
Zhang Shi’ai stood up:
"I’m full, you two should be full too. Let me show you to the dormitory."
Liang Yu and Wei Ming put down their dishes like obedient children:
"Alright."
Outside the door.
Zhang Shi’ai glanced back, people in the canteen discussed happily, imagining the village with electricity.
Walking all the way to the dormitory door, Zhang Shi’ai stopped and asked:
"Who exactly are you two?"
Liang Yu took out his credentials:
"Security Administration, Liang Yu."
Zhang Shi’ai frowned:
"Security Administration?"
Liang Yu nodded:
"A special department dealing with abnormal events."
Zhang Shi’ai was greatly shaken.
So the official side always had such a department?
It turns out, there was so much she didn’t know about the world.
Until reaching a certain level, you couldn’t see the unseen side of the world.
If in the past, she was still that small anchor relying on tricks to get by, how could she have imagined the world to be so magical?
Of course, she couldn’t have imagined that the world wasn’t always filled with so much magic.
The world suddenly became interesting simply because her master wanted it to be interesting.
Zhang Shi’ai said:
"So why are you two following me?"
Liang Yu said:
"Suspected you were an abnormal person, conducting a special investigation."
Zhang Shi’ai chuckled, a pink flame appearing at her white fingertips:
"And then? What can you do about it?"
A trace of unnoticeable fear flashed in Liang Yu’s eyes.
Did she just admit it so openly?
Knowing he was from the special government agency, yet remaining so calm?
Her tone even carried a hint of disdain!
Could it be that Zhang Shi’ai’s background was strong enough to challenge the authorities?
Liang Yu pondered for a moment and said:
"The authorities highly respect the Extraordinary and hope you can convey goodwill on behalf of the authorities to whoever’s behind you."
Liang Yu was certain, Zhang Shi’ai definitely had someone powerful behind her.
Powerful enough to disdain any involvement with the authorities.
Stronger than Shu Mountain.
Zhang Shi’ai walked towards the dormitory:
"Leave tomorrow, don’t observe me too much, this is for your good.
And do not attempt to investigate what’s behind me, it’s for the good of the authorities.
This is my goodwill to you, also considering your promise to provide electricity to Yu Lu Village."
Zhang Shi’ai’s words struck like thunder, leaving Liang Yu and Wei Ming frozen as if struck by lightning.
From her tone, did the Xia Country’s official power mean nothing in the eyes of the one behind Zhang Shi’ai?
Could it be a force composed of the Extraordinary?
Have they been living in such a world all along?
...
Late at night, South Sea, Half-Mountain Villa.
A red sports car stopped in front of the villa.
A beauty with wavy hair got out of the car.
Wearing a bodycon skirt, lettered black stockings, high heels, she exuded a stepmother vibe all over.
Chen Yuqi entered the villa gates and saw Xiaohai sitting in the courtyard.
[Apostle: Three-headed Hellhound]!
She nodded towards Xiaohai, who did not respond, staring blankly at a daffodil, drooling.
Chen Yuqi looked over suspiciously, her pretty face showing shock.
In the master’s courtyard, even a single flower exuded a strong Extraordinary Power?
She could even sense the soul’s fluctuation within that daffodil!
Suppressing the shock in her heart, Chen Yuqi headed towards the main hall.
She came here to strengthen the master’s soul with the Power of Faith.
During this time, the master would be particularly weak and must stay in the safest place.
Now it seemed, the master’s villa was indeed the safest place.
Li Yang saw Chen Yuqi arrive, put down his book, got up from the sofa, and headed to the bedroom.
Chen Yuqi quickly followed him.
Suzu waited in the bedroom for a long time.
Chen Yuqi respectfully said:
"Master, strengthening your soul will cause you to fall asleep.
You must ensure that nothing unexpected happens during this night."
Chen Yuqi thought for a moment, then added:
"During the process of the soul becoming stronger, you will have a nightmare.
You will dream of the things you fear the most, that is the deepest darkness in your heart.
Do not sink into the nightmare, or the sleep time will become very long.
Once you wake up, your soul power will become very strong.
In the future, the Power of Faith from the Seven Commandments Association will automatically transform into your soul power."
After she finished speaking, she observed Li Yang’s expression and found him indifferent.
Of course, the master, being the King of Hell, would be aware of these details.
Li Yang looked at Suzu to the side:
"You go into the dream with me in a while."
[Black Witch]’s witchcraft had the ability to enter dreams.
About the taboos of strengthening the soul, as a Death God, he was more aware than anyone.
Suzu could aid him in the dream.
