In a hazy state, it felt as though one had fallen into the deepest dream.
Countless images began to flash in Wen Yu's mind until Gul's voice resonated from the edge of consciousness.
"Aunt, what have you seen?"
Hearing this voice, Qin Shiyuan momentarily woke from her daze, focusing intently on the images flashing before her.
"Layered Battlefield Zone Three, the 021 plate of the continent, in the military camp, a soldier named Yang Hai..."
Murmuring these words, Qin Shiyuan provided the information, prompting Arthur to quickly operate the communicator in his hand, relaying the intel to the support staff in a short period.
...
In Zone Three, within the 021 plate of the continent military camp.
Several military police members appeared, their forms materializing as light. They landed precisely at the dormitory building where Yang Hai was located. One member was responsible for notifying the main commander of the military camp, while the others immediately executed the arrest task.
The mission proceeded smoothly; for professional soldiers, all it took was saying "secret mission," completing the necessary paperwork, and they could directly take the person away.
By the thirteenth minute after Arthur transmitted the information, the arrest of Yang Hai was already completed.
Subsequently, the action team detained Yang Hai at a designated location, successfully executing a containment operation.
In just those brief minutes, Qin Shiyuan had also relayed dozens of scenes.
...
"Zone Three, the 0521 plate of the continent, a porcupine, specific scene is..."
"Zone Five, the 011 plate of the continent, a soldier."
"Beijing, Central Square, an African tourist."
"The Pacific Ocean, the deep sea, a level three mutated octopus."
Qin Shiyuan's speed of speech increased rapidly. Outside, the colossal city of Beijing immediately sprang into action. Whenever a piece of information appeared, there was someone responsible for wrapping it up. The entire process was swift, efficient, and orderly.
Until another new image emerged in Qin Shiyuan's mind.
"This is..."
In the blurred light and shadow, Qin Shiyuan seemed unable to recognize the specific location in the image. She focused her gaze, scrutinizing it closely.
"A palace, surrounded by high walls, with several large trees..."
Upon hearing Qin Shiyuan's murmured words, Gul was taken aback, then slowly furrowed his brows.
"Wait, this perspective is off, omg, it’s so big, these trees, and this palace, all so enormous."
Qin Shiyuan gradually adjusted the perspective of the image until it reflected into the sky.
"Here... the sky is gray, and there are cracks..."
"The Demon Realm, that is the Demon Realm!"
Gul's eyes widened as he spoke, looking at Qin Shiyuan, who was still murmuring. He quickly formed hand seals, attempting to terminate the link.
However, this time, for some reason, no matter how many methods Gul employed, the secret technique remained unresponsive!
"Go find the lord commander, quickly!"
Seeing the interruption failing, Gul decisively spoke to Qin Tian, who instantly vanished from sight. He then focused intently on Qin Shiyuan, slowly asking,
"What else do you see?"
"There’s a person. No, not a person; it’s a humanoid creature, shrouded in black mist... He stands under the tree."
"He places his hand on the tree, he turns his head..."
"He saw me!"
"I..."
Qin Shiyuan's voice grew softer, lower, until finally, she murmured but couldn't say another word.
"Concentrate! Concentrate!"
Gul's loud shout rang out, but the sound drifted further away in Qin Shiyuan's mind. At that moment, all her attention was focused on the figure in the image that was looking at her.
Two pitch-black dots of light flickered gently on the figure's face, resembling two bright stars.
Though she couldn't see the figure's face clearly, for some reason, at that moment, Qin Shiyuan felt that this figure was grinning at her.
In the next second, the shadows of the trees swayed, and rustling sounds arose. Qin Shiyuan felt the towering trees around the figure, like demons, pouncing toward her.
