"If it were anyone else, I would consider this as some kind of longing, some psychological activity, but since you, Xiaotong, say so, I have to consider it as some kind of reality."
"I will write down the tracking spell. If he still carries something I gave him, the talisman will guide us to find him."
Morioka Hitomi nodded.
The reason a single dream could make the two so serious is because the Lian King’s Reincarnation series is too powerful. Over the years, Morioka Hitomi’s dreams have been as accurate as ’next episode previews.’

Hujiang, Unknown Area, Underground Laboratory.
Guided by the Compass, Wen Xishu continued to infiltrate the laboratory.
His location was already not far from the detention area, which also meant Wen Xishu didn’t have to go far to enter the prison area from the experiment area.
Before long, Wen Xishu had already sensed the target’s presence.
"Little Ant, don’t fall asleep! Hold on until tomorrow night, I’ll get you out, and we can find the Demon Cleansing Monk!"
"Stay awake! Stay awake! Xiu, think back! Think back to those moments that made you feel happy!"
The boy’s voice appeared.
Wen Xishu could hear it clearly, then he heard another weak voice:
"Brother Yuan... I don’t think I can make it..."
"I really can’t remember any happy experiences. Am I going to turn into a monster? Am I very ugly right now?"
The girl’s voice had a slight sob, obviously already in the depths of despair. She seemed on the brink of death.
"No, Little Ant, no, you’re very beautiful right now! Those radiation agents can’t harm you at all!"
"Brother Yuan will take you away, I promised all of you, I will take you all away! We will join the Demon Cleansing Monk! We will all survive as humans!"
"Don’t fall asleep! Little Ant! We survived round after round of inhumane experiments... never, never fall asleep here!"
The boy’s voice gradually became mournful.
Wen Xishu suddenly felt uncomfortable; he could already see from afar, the scene in the prison—it was a normal, completely human-formed boy... holding a "girl" who had completely distorted beyond recognition.
The girl’s face was covered with dense tendrils, and her eyeballs showed a split state.
Obviously, these two children were bidding their final farewell.
Wen Xishu roughly understood.
The target he was supposed to kill was the boy called Yuan.
This group planned to escape, and it seemed they had made a plan, but the experimented girl, due to various factors, had already mutated and was about to die.
She didn’t have time to feel happiness, in her entire life, she couldn’t even see a glimpse of happiness in her final moments.
Xiaoyuan tried to bring hope to the girl, but it was all destined to be in vain.
Wen Xishu did not immediately make a move to kill this boy.
This boy was the Obsessed, presumably would achieve quite a bit in the future.
For such a person, was the Three Towers Company’s mission really to kill him?
He had some doubts. Wen Xishu had killed before, but actually... he didn’t enjoy killing those struggling with hope in the apocalypse.
Moreover, although the mission specified the target’s characteristics, the mission... never stated to kill the target.
In fact, the notion of killing was always suggested by the Qilin.
Thinking of this, Wen Xishu furrowed his brows, feeling that... perhaps he was caught up in some conspiracy.
"I can’t communicate with the target. Killing the target is indeed one way to complete the mission..."
"But there must be other ways. This Qilin... is not very honest."
