Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Mr. Liang’s Dream

Xiang Kun sensed Mr. Liang’s emotions of terror, sorrow, and then anger, even madness in his dream. He then witnessed a brief battle.

Clearly, Mr. Liang wanted to seize the body of Academician Shen and subdue the beautiful woman, but he failed and was beaten brutally, until he was on the brink of death.

According to ordinary human judgment, Mr. Liang should be undeniably dead—he had his heart gouged out and tossed before his face.

However, seeing as Mr. Liang was still alive, he obviously had not been killed or devoured at the time.

From Xiang Kun’s perception of the dream, the moment Mr. Liang opened the lab door, the beautiful woman must have already been drinking blood.

That might explain why she did not completely kill Mr. Liang or drink his blood—she had almost finished consuming Academician Shen and needed to leave as soon as possible to find a safe place to sleep and complete her transformation.

The scene changed again; Mr. Liang infiltrated a villa, fought with a beautiful woman, and successfully killed and drank her blood.

While the beautiful woman had slightly changed in appearance, she could easily be recognized as the one who had killed Academician Shen in the lab.

Throughout this process, Xiang Kun did not feel an intense desire for blood or impulse to drink blood from Mr. Liang. What he felt instead was anger accompanied by a touch of desolate emotion.

Xiang Kun carefully felt this emotion and felt that the sense of desolation was not just directed at the beautiful woman, but also at himself, at the deceased Academician Shen, and even at the world.

The final dream scene froze on a rabbit-shaped woodcarving.

…

Xiang Kun opened his eyes, still sitting in the chair without moving, recalling his perception of Mr. Liang’s dream.

He did not experience Mr. Liang’s or John’s dreams through Old Xia’s “Dream in A Dream”—the conditions did not permit it, as he hadn’t previously dropped the “black circle graffiti” that was connected to Old Xia underneath the Brilliant Fortune Building.

Therefore, what he perceived was essentially what Mr. Liang already thought a lot about, what he had always kept in his subconscious. These were the perceptions naturally revealed when the emotions evoked by the rabbit wood carving created the dream.

The information perceived might not necessarily be factual memories, but could be emotion-based concrete forms, like the underground buildings and various platforms in John’s previous dream.

However, based on this perception, Xiang Kun believed that the majority of these likely came from real memories.

Without understanding Mr. Liang’s information, the characteristics of “mutants,” the secrets behind “Divine Technology,” or what Academician Shen was doing, upon seeing these images and feeling these emotions, it would be impossible to understand or connect a complete context.

However, to Xiang Kun—who already knew Mr. Liang’s identity, roughly knew about Mr. Liang’s experiences and Academician Shen’s situation through the secret documents, and had an exceedingly good understanding of the characteristics of “mutants”—he could quickly grasp the key information within.

Although in the dream, Mr. Liang did not call out the beautiful woman’s name, but from the fact that she could meet Academician Shen and show up together in the lab, it was highly probable that she was the “Xiao Xue” or “Ah Xue” that appeared in the secret documents.

By synthesizing the information recorded in the secret documents, the things he heard from Mr. Zhang Hongpu, and the situations Alice helped investigate, the probable timeline should be:

Mr. Liang becomes paralyzed→Mr. Liang mutates→Mr. Liang meets Academician Shen→Mr. Liang meets a beautiful woman named Xiao Xue→Xiao Xue kills Academician Shen and feeds on him→Mr. Liang survives the trauma and changes his perception of mutation evolution, begins to try new directions of mutation, giving up on retaining human form→He finds Xiao Xue’s whereabouts, kills her and drinks her blood at the exact location of Mr. Zhang Hongpu’s friend’s son’s villa (However, from the dream, it seems that Mr. Liang actually saved Mr. Zhang Hongpu’s friend’s son)→Mr. Liang’s mutation evolution system becomes stable and more developed.

The death of Academician Shen would undoubtedly have had a significant impact on Mr. Liang; his perception of other “mutants” or “human-shaped mutated creatures” and his direction of self-mutation evolution changed drastically after this incident.

This is why he said, “Don’t easily believe any ‘blood-drinking creature'” in that video in the secret documents that seemed like a “trusteeship” or “message to successor.”

However, there are some details that Xiang Kun hasn’t fully understood. It could be because the sensory information displayed in Mr. Liang’s dream deviates from the actual facts, or because there are some hidden details that were not displayed in the dream and not recorded in the secret documents.

Xiang Kun walked out of the yard towards Chongyun Mountain; he needed Old Xia’s help in analyzing this.

Although he also has his own analytical methods and the knowledge model of Mr. Liang based on all the information he has, past experience shows that Old Xia, a double master’s degree holder in psychiatry and psychology, can always fill in the gaps in his model, offering constructive ideas.

Perhaps Old Xia’s emotional perceptual impairment is her advantage in analyzing others’ psychological cognition, as she does not prejudge or let her emotions affect her judgment.

…

It was now past four in the afternoon, and today happened to be the summer solstice; it was getting a bit hot.

However, Xia Libing and Xiao Pingguo were not at all affected by the heat in “Xiao Luobo’s” realm—the dense forest provides very comfortable shade.

Starting from the day before yesterday, during the day, Xia Libing often brought Xiao Pingguo to play with “Xiao Luobo,” because Xiao Pingguo has a very special perception of “Xiao Luobo.” Even before she actually touched or “saw” Xiao Luobo, she had already established some special connections through Gold Flash.

Of course, Alice, the intermediary “translator,” deserves credit for this. She can easily strengthen this connection.

Xiang Kun believes this is directly related to Xiao Pingguo’s way of perception and cognition. She can naturally better understand “Xiao Luobo’s” perception system. Moreover, her innate and gifted affinity for nature and other creatures is instinctive.

So Xiang Kun also agreed to let Xiao Pingguo contact “Xiao Luobo” and let her know about Xiao Luobo’s uniqueness.

Actually, with Gold Flash, Custard Pie, and Alice’s protection, Xiao Pingguo could get into the mountains alone and play with “Xiao Luobo,” but for safety reasons, Xia Libing accompanied her each time to ensure someone was with Xiao Pingguo.

Now, Xiao Pingguo was sitting on a tree-top branch that looked like a chair; the vine wrapped around it, forming armrests and a footrest—it was quite comfortable to sit on.

Previously, Xia Libing strictly forbade Xiao Pingguo from climbing trees because it was dangerous.
