Volume 1: I Have A Dream Chapter 33: Close Your Eyes When It's Dark

  Night, Guro Mountain.

  The sky has entered autumn, and the late evening forest is filled with a chill. The ground is covered with fallen dry leaves that rustle underfoot.

  "Can you just watch your friend in trouble and not go to help? Is this what you call being a friend?"

  When I made a big show of my friendship, Lin Muxian didn't object for long and compromised. However, she also demanded that after rescuing Gao Baozi, I had to immediately follow her back to headquarters and couldn't have any delaying excuses.

  I naturally agreed with alacrity.

  To prevent me from taking the opportunity to escape, those two people from Peter's dojo also followed. Adding Kaka, a total of five people, quietly hiding on the small hillside of an abandoned factory.

  The same small factory building was still holding Gao Shengping and the three others, but compared to last time, this small factory building seemed more like a giant beast with its bloody mouth wide open, waiting for prey to be delivered into its mouth.

  I admit, I'm a bit nervous now. It's not that I'm worried about my own safety, I just fear that I won't be able to take care of Lin Muxian.

  She's going to die, and as a soul servant, I naturally won't be able to live either.

  Earlier, I suggested that we should prepare first and get some equipment such as guns and bombs. However, those two from Peter's school looked at me with disdain and seemed to imply that 'when the time comes, we won't need you to take action, we can handle it in a minute'.

  Lin Mouxian, a three-legged cat kung fu master, also nodded in agreement.

  At that time, I was depressed. Pietro wasn't bad, according to Lin Muxian, he was one of the few fifth-level Soul Masters in this generation. But in the end, he was still easily solved by me. I really can't understand where their inexplicable confidence comes from.

  It was Kaka Bu, who had originally followed with a light expression, but seeing the scene in front of her, a few worried looks appeared on her innocent little face, and her eyes scanned around.

  "What did they want you to come over at eight o'clock for?" asked Lin Muxian.

  "I don't know," I shook my head, "I didn't plan on going to the appointment, and just talking won't save anyone."

  "Come on, kid, what are we waiting for? Let's just go grab it."

  A sturdy man from Peter's school urged impatiently, now it was five minutes past eight, and the agreed time had passed.

  I waved my hand and said, "Don't rush, they've been prepared for a long time and are waiting attentively for 8 o'clock. Let's drag it out a bit, divert their attention, and then make our move."

  That person wanted to say more, but Lin Muxian said: "Young Master, let's slow down for now."

  Lin Muxian's beauty was among the top in the realm of lost souls. When she said that, the man didn't say anything more. Moreover, being able to lie side by side with Lin Muxian on the mountain slope was a rare and wonderful thing.

  Time slowly passed eight thirty, seeing that neither side was impatient first, these two people were about to lose their patience.

  I waved my hand and said in a low voice: "Let's go!"

  The two disciples of Peter stood up first, proudly and openly walking down the slope towards the factory.

  "I'm not going, I'll wait for you here." Kakabu said with a smile on his face.

  I glanced at her deeply and smiled: "Okay, anyway you're just a little girl, it's useless to go."

  Kakabu was completely unimpressed and smiled with a smirk: "Come on, Brother Fang Cheng, Kakabu is looking forward to your triumphant return."

  She smiled faintly and looked at her, but didn't respond. I turned to Lin Mu Xian and said, "Why don't you stay too?" Unfortunately, the response was a cold gaze and a distant back view.

  The forest was dark and dimly lit, those two sturdy men from the Lin family led the way, I pulled Lin Mouxian far behind. With them walking in like this, it's strange if they don't encounter any misfortune.

  Seeing me suddenly coldly smile, Lin Muxian's eyebrows furrowed and he asked: "What's wrong?"

  "Shh!" I put my index finger to my lips and hissed at the surrounding mountains, then turned to say in a different tone: "I'm worried about an ambush."

  She didn't seem to understand, so I made a circle with my hand the size of an egg and said: "A bullet of this size is spinning at high speed towards you. With just a light touch, it's lucky if you lose an arm or leg."

  Seeing her still carefree appearance, I let out a light sigh and said: "Even if it didn't hit you directly, the bullets hitting the ground would cause stones to fly everywhere, and if one grazed your face, even the best plastic surgeon wouldn't be able to fix it."

  As he said this, Lin Miao Xian furrowed his brow and gazed out at the dark forest surroundings, his body involuntarily leaning in close to me.

  "What should I do?" she whispered.

  "It's okay, I'll take care of it." I whispered in her ear, feigning nonchalance.

  With such an intimate expression, Lin Miao Xian just shifted back a bit and didn't say anything.

  At this time, the two men from Pide's school had already walked to the front of the abandoned factory, and were about to enter in a big way. I thought for a moment, then called out to them in a low voice: "Hey, you two brothers, don't force your way in, let's go around."

  The two of them exchanged a rough smile, turned their heads and gave me a disdainful look, then strode towards the door. The solitary lamp in the factory cast a dim light on the two figures, casting a murky black shadow.

  Before long, a low shout was heard from inside: "Who's there? Halt!"

  "Let him go, and I'll spare your lives."

  I was hiding far away, but my earpiece was very sensitive and I heard this, my heart suddenly filled with black lines. How can these leftover soul masters all be so arrogant, are they treating others as fools or did their own enlightenment education not go well?

  Tap tap tap!

  With a three-round burst from an M16A2 rifle, the old glass in the factory windows shattered all over the floor.

  "A low and menacing voice rose: 'Take one more step, and it won't be the glass that shatters. Was it Fang Cheng who sent you? Where is he?!'"

  As the gunshot rang out, the two men from the Biede Sect were shocked and let out a loud roar: "A group of mortals who don't know death, humph!" After that, the two immediately sprang into action.

  Now I am extremely sensitive to spiritual energy, and instantly see a white aura that seems substantial, swirling rapidly around his fingertips. Another person has both hands on the edge of their mouth, making a shouting gesture, with two clusters of white aura surging from their palms.

  I know this is the gathering of spiritual energy, they are going to deploy their soul device.

  The people inside didn't understand, but the low voice sounded again, "Call Fang Cheng over, I have some questions to ask him."

  Lin Miao Xian suddenly covered his ears and whispered: "They're going to be unlucky!" His eyes still had a hint of envy.

  I glanced at her lightly, was she looking for those two people's soul devices?

  Just then, with the gathering of spiritual energy, the concentration had almost reached a visible level to the naked eye. The opponent suddenly realized it and shouted in alarm: "Monkey, hit his hand... Ah!"

  Before he could finish speaking, a piercingly sharp and ear-piercing voice rang out in the night sky, with that person from Peter's school as its center, an invisible sound wave spread out in all directions.

  Even I, who was far away, couldn't help but cover my ears. At that moment, it seemed like a million pieces of glass were being scraped by sharp rocks at the same time, making my scalp tingle and my chest filled with a surge of bad air that wouldn't subside.

  At the same time, another person from the same school as Bi De also made a move.

  A bright blue light burst out from the ring on his finger and shot into the room with a loud crack.

  "Monkey!" A mournful cry echoed from within.

  I'm a bit stunned, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. One of them uses sound waves to disrupt the opponent, while the other uses lightning to kill the enemy. The two of them work together seamlessly, and they're indeed quite formidable.

  Their confidence is not blindly obtained, and they have the capital to be proud of. Now that I think about it, my initial swift and decisive victory over Peter was truly wise.

  It can go on like this and rescue Gao Pangzi smoothly, but it's not the result I want!

  Just as I was thinking of how to drag the two men's legs, the low and hoarse voice inside the house rang out again, but this time it sounded extremely urgent: "Fourth brother, take action!"

  The words had barely fallen when...

  P.S: There is still one more chapter in the afternoon. Also, vote for it...
