Chapter 1036: Mouse Trap
More? What more is Qilin up to?!
Zhang Wei didn’t have the faintest idea. He turned to Qilin. “Would you give me a hint?”
Qilin walked up to Zhang Wei. He knew Zhang Wei was trying to buy time. He wasn’t mad. He simply grabbed Zhang Wei’s elbow and took flight slowly.
While flying to the northern entrance of the park, Qilin hinted, “If that’s all I want to achieve, I should be able to do it with level 8 Eidos alone. I wouldn’t need all twelve of the Rune Circuits.”
“Right.” Zhang Wei agreed. “There must be a reason you’re so obsessed with collecting all twelve of the Rune Circuits.”
“I’ll give you another hint.” Qilin smiled. “The Mist will one day devour the world. Nothing will exist then, but one thing will be spared.”
Zhang Wei started. The night wind wasn’t the only thing sending a shudder down his spine. He said in a trembling voice, “The twelve Rune Circuits?”
Qilin smiled with silent agreement.
“The immortal ones aren’t the humans, but the twelve Rune Circuits!” Zhang Wei stiffened.
Qilin was still smiling.
“The Spinning Top...spinning top...” Zhang Wei felt like he had connected all the dots. He shouted, “I get it now!”
“Speak.”
“Sir Jiang and you try to collect all twelve Rune Circuits to create a never-stopping, never-vanishing spinning top! That’s your plan!”
Qilin adjusted his glasses. “Good, you’re getting close to the truth.”
They landed at the northern entrance of the park. The personnel at the construction site were all unconscious, lying in puddles of water.
A car was parked by the road, empty with the doors open; the driver and all passengers had gotten out and lost consciousness.
Adept Horse lay on the ground a little farther from the car, more than ten meters away. He was all drenched. Nainai lay somewhere between Adept Horse and the car. Chen Ying was just getting out of the door, and she slumped on her knees by the wheel, head drooping in sleep.
Their eyes were all widened with glowing green light, each trapped in their respective dream.
Gao Yang stood out. He had already walked to the entrance to the park and remained standing.
Zhang Wei started. Has Gao Yang resisted it?
It all happened so suddenly that Zhang Wei was left stunned, unmoving. It took quite a while for him to realize that the tide...had suddenly turned!
“*** **** ****!” Zhang Wei cursed. “So that’s how the mouse trap works! You’re the GOAT, Brother Yang! You too, Dr. Jia!”
Zhang Wei was so elated he could cry. He twisted around to flip Qilin off. Then he ran up to Gao Yang and shook his shoulder hard. “Wake up, Brother Yang! Stop dreaming!”
“It’s fake... All a dream... A dream...” Gao Yang remained staring into nothing and muttering. He couldn’t hear Zhang Wei at all.
Zhang Wei was so anxious he considered slapping Gao Yang, but he knew it wouldn’t work. A dream created with Eidos wouldn’t be broken by simple pain.
Suddenly, Zhang Wei remembered his success with Wang Zikai.
Right, if my Confidence worked on Wang Zikai, it must work on Gao Yang too!
“Gao Yang!” Zhang Wei shouted. “You can wake up. Trust yourself. You will wake up!”
Hearing his name, Gao Yang’s brows twitched. It seemed that he had heard Zhang Wei in his dream.
It’s working!
Hope sparked in Zhang Wei. A name was what anyone would be most familiar with. It would arouse a reaction. But it wasn’t enough. He needed greater stimulus. I’m sorry, Brother Yang!
“Gao Yang!” Zhang Wei hollered into his ears. “Your granny’s dead! Your parents are too! Officer Huang died! Ronnie died! Gray Bear died! Lithe Snake died! Can died! The whole fifth team fucking died! Vermilion Bird’s dying too...”
...
“Gao Yang, wake up! If you don’t wake up now, everyone’s gonna die! Qing Ling will die! Gao Xinxin too! Everyone you love will die!”
...
“Gao Yang! You’re a fucking piece of trash! You can’t protect anyone! How can you keep sleeping?!”
...
“Gao Yang! Dead, everyone’s dead! Wang Zikai’s dead! Fresh Snow is dead! They are all dead! You hear me?!”
...
“Gao Yang, wake up! Wake the fuck up!!”
