nChapter 80: Into the Dream Again

nTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

nIt was getting late and Hao Ren was making the final preparations for his journey to The Plane of Dreams.

nWell, to be honest... it did not really need any preparation! Hao Ren would enter The Plane of Dreams by lying on the bed and falling asleep. Any other preparation outside the dream was not going to help inside the dream!

nLily had been quite exhausted from the past two days. She needed to be well-prepared for her evolution during the full moon in the next few days. As such, she went to bed before nine o’clock that night. Vivian and Y’zaks were in the living room prepping for Hao Ren. Vivian had extracted a pot of medicinal herbs for Hao Ren to boost his energy. She supervised Hao Ren as he drank two big bowls of medication. She then looked at him with a concerned face and asked,

"How is it? Do you feel better?

"

nHao Ren smacked his lips; the strange taste of medicinal herbs numbed his tongue. However, when he looked at Vivian’s concerned expression, he felt bad saying no. He just nodded and said,

"Well, it works. Now I feel quite energetic like I just woke up…

"

n

"One more then!

" Vivian was very happy when Hao Ren said so. She grabbed the bowl from Hao Ren and filled it with black, greasy gruel.

"I tell you, no one knows about herbs in medicine these days. Not even veteran doctors. This prescription was created by Li Shizhen back when he passed by a small village. It helps to refresh and calm your mind. Entering The Plane of Dreams is actually a nightmare. As long as you keep your mind strong and clear, then there’s nothing to worry about.

"

nHao Ren hurriedly refused the offer and let her take the bowl away.

"That’s enough. If I keep drinking, I'm not going to be able to sleep anymore. Don't be so nervous, all right? I’m just taking a nap…

"

n

"How can we not be nervous!

" Vivian put the m

nedication on the table and said,

"I’ve heard about The Plane of Dreams. That place is not just an ordinary dream world. Many people have actually died in it. Raven 12345 just promised that you wouldn’t die in it because half-dead is not considered dead!

"

nEven Vivian said so thus, one could imagine the wide spread of Raven 12345’s bad character.

n

"If only my blood magic works for you.

" Vivian suddenly sighed.

"Lots of the spells within the Blood Clan are devoted to the mind, which is definitely better than letting you drink this medication. Why doesn’t the blood magic work on you?

"

nEven Raven 12345 could not explain it, let alone Hao Ren. He just gave her a halfhearted smile. Y’zaks took the opportunity to ask,

"Or maybe I could try creating a protection for you using our magic?

"

nHao Ren waved his hands and said,

"Don't bother. My body is immune to magic. I can’t even use the buff given by my teammates. This unfortunate physique…

"

n

"How will you know if you don't try it?

" Y’zaks was stubborn. Whatever that was on his mind, he had to give it a try. He did not care what Hao Ren said. Right away, he wrote a dark green rune in the air and patted Hao Ren on the back.

"… Is it working?

" he asked.

nHao Ren was totally stunned. When he realized that the big demon’s magic had worked in an instant, his mind was refreshed. His consciousness of his surroundings was elevated to a state he had never experienced before. He did not know what mental force it was. However, he was sure that the rune on his body had absolutely stimulated his mental strength!

n

"Aren’t I immune to magic…

" Hao Ren was particularly puzzled by his momentary elevation of mind. However, what was even more surprising was his susceptibility to Y’zaks’s runes. A few seconds later, he remembered what Raven 12345 said.

"Partial immunization… I remember the psycho telling me that I was only immune to certain kinds of magic!

"

n

"So you're not immune to demonic power?

" Vivian looked at Hao Ren with surprise. Suddenly, she frowned and said,

"Then you better be careful next time. Don't think you are really immune to all kinds magic anymore. Don’t let other demons hurt you. Not every demon is as friendly as this big guy.

"

nHao Ren nodded. After which he stood up and said,

"This is it. I feel like I’m in a really good state. I’m going to sleep now. Vivian, you sleep late at night, right? Please help me to keep guard around here. Raven 12345 said that when I’m connecting to The Plane of Dreams, something strange may occur. Help me observe and record any unusual scenarios. I’ll report to Raven 12345 later.

"

nVivian promised Hao Ren repeatedly. Y’zaks also scratched his bald head. He then laughed and said,

"Let me help you as well. I’m quite interested in The Plane of Dreams in your world. It’s a pity that I can’t get in. I can only watch from the side.

"

nHao Ren thought finally, he was a big shot. He had a vampire and demon as his bodyguards when he walked back to his room. How powerful did one have to be in order to have such privilege? Yet, when he reached the door looking all manly, something just did not feel right. He then turned round, not really sure if he wanted laugh or cry at what he saw.

"I’m just going to sleep. Do you the two of you have to look so solemn…

"

n

"Oh!

" Vivian and Y’zaks replied. They silently bowed their heads with a solemn expression. Suddenly, the atmosphere of the living room felt like a funeral home.

nHao Ren was left speechless.

nHao Ren knew there was no way to communicate with the two of them. He could only shake his head and walk into the room. He lay in bed and did as Raven 12345 said. He adjusted his mindset and quietly underwent self hypnosis. He put the Mobile Data Terminal next to him and waited silently to enter The Plane of Dreams.

nHalf an hour later, the door opened. Hao Ren walked out in his pyjamas, swinging his arms. Vivian and Y’zaks looked at him in surprised and asked,

"Landlord, it’s over?!

"

nHao Ren scratched his face awkwardly and said,

"…I need to go to the bathroom. The two bowls of soup are too powerful.

"

nVivian had nothing to say.

nAfter using the bathroom, Hao Ren went back to his bedroom and continued to stay in bed. Half an hour later, he finally realized something was really not right. Vivian's medicinal diet and Y’zaks’ magic had indeed fortified his mental strength. However, these two things had one common effect… Both of them helped to refresh his brain!

nWhat rotten luck! He was having insomnia!

n

"I should’ve known that they couldn’t be trusted. I shouldn't have let them help me!

" Hao Ren quickly got up but in the end, he lay down again.

"What’s the use of running out now? Should I let Vivian hit and stun me? Or let Y’zaks hypnotize me with magic? Doesn’t matter whether they work or not, no one can enter The Plane of Dreams by force…

" he thought.

nHao Ren was tossing and turning in bed. He could not fall asleep. In the end, he had no choice but to touch the MDT beside his pillow and said,

"Connect Raven 12345.

"

nIt is impossible to dial the phone number, 00000012345 and reach the psychopath using regular mobile phones. The line could only be connected via internal devices like the MDT. Luckily, Raven 12345 was on duty this time and she did not seem to rest at night. Soon, her jarring voice rang in Hao Ren's mind.

"Yo, Hao Ren. You’ve already strolled around The Plane of Dreams? So fast?

"

n

"Not yet. I encountered some problems and I can't go in now…

"

nRaven 12345 was surprised and asked,

"Can’t get in? Haven’t I already told you how to adjust your mind and self-talk? The Mobile Data Terminal can also guide you.

"

n

"No. That’s not the problem. I have insomnia.

"

n

"… The heck?! Can you be a little more reliable?

" said Raven 12345.

nHao Ren really did not want to be judged by a psychopath. However, in reality he could only fake a smile and explain what had just happened. Raven 12345 was speechless after hearing Hao Ren’s explanation. Finally, she said,

"What kind of people are you surrounded by… What kind of people have I found…

"

n

"So ...

"

n

"Don't worry, I’ll find a way,

" Raven 12345 said with great vehemence. Hao Ren’s spirit was immediately lifted. He thought she was finally using the power of a goddess to do something right. Unfortunately, she continued to say,

"Let me sing you a lullaby…

"

nHao Ren could not recollect the events after that. He could only remember that everything went black the moment Raven 12345 started singing.

nWhen he opened his eyes again, all he could see was a prairie.

nThere was a small moon and a big moon hanging in the sky. A cool breeze was blowing in the prairie under the sky while a blanket of brilliant yet unfamiliar stars covered the sky. The scenery was familiar. Hao Ren realized that he had successfully entered The Plane of Dreams. And… he appeared at the same place as last time.

nA distant howl of wolves came out of nowhere.

n

"Damn it!

" Hao Ren was aghast.

"Damn, is the dream also divided into part one and part two?! Does it continue from where it last left off?

"
