Chapter 276: Chapter 276: An Unforgettable Dream

Translator: 549690339

Mijoe was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.

She got up, put on her clothes, and walked onto the balcony for a breath of chilly fresh air, hoping to clear her head.

Having a dream featuring Guo Tianxiang was not so surprising; she had often thought about where he might be lately.

There had been three turning points in her life, each corresponding to a particular person.

One was her uncle who took her out of the country and taught her many things after her parents passed away. He led her down a gray path;

One was Guo Tianxiang. After discovering his secret and learning that vampires truly existed, she once believed she had found hope in combating death;

And one was “Mr. Liang”. He pulled her out of a “quagmire” and introduced her to a completely different field and a mysterious new world. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he had given her a new lease on life.

In her dream just now, not only did Guo Tianxiang appear, but also “Mr. Liang”, warning her to “Beware of Mr. Liang”. This was unusual and did not align with her feelings.

She thought back to last night when she heard descriptions about rabbit woodcarvings and incidents happening in Qinling Uninhabited Area from Dr. Fang while learning about the odd occurrences at the D2 research center in An Tie Town.

Could her dream have been influenced by these external factors?

But that didn’t fit. According to Dr. Fang, one would only be affected by the rabbit woodcarving if in close proximity to it, and the dreams induced by its influence would inevitably involve rabbit meat as an eerie factor.

The rabbit woodcarving was not here and no peculiar element such as rabbit meat appeared in her dream.

So, this dream should have been just a normal dream of hers.

Could it be…that she, subconsciously, was doubtful about “Mr. Liang”?

Once she asked herself this question, Mijoe realized that she indeed felt a slight wavering.

Admittedly, after being accepted by “Mr. Liang” and welcomed into the secret department of “Divine Technology”, though she had learned a lot of information, she had even more questions.

Some of these mysteries were solved through various “internships” in the secretive division of “Divine Technology” and by communicating with “Mr. Liang”. However, it only made her more puzzled. It was clear that those simple questions could have been answered directly by “Mr. Liang”. So why did he take the time and resources to let her discover them on her own?

Why did “Mr. Liang” help her change her identity and integrate into “Divine Technology”?

Her expertise, her hacking skills, were trivial and useless in the face of a corporation like “Divine Technology”.

What made her special to “Mr. Liang”?

She wasn’t one of those naive girls who still fantasized about Mary Sue novels. Neither did she believe her looks could make someone fall in love at first sight.

And most importantly, she hadn’t actually met “Mr. Liang” face to face yet. All her interactions with “Mr. Liang” had been through voice communication. According to the inadvertently revealed information from Dr. Fang and other high-security-level personnel in the secret division of “Divine Technology”, it seemed they hadn’t met “Mr. Liang” either?

Forget about face-to-face encounters, they probably hadn’t even seen him on video.

And what about “Mr. Liang’s” voice? Why did it have this peculiar tone?

Did he have some special secret?

Could he be a vampire just like Guo Tianxiang?

Mijoe wouldn’t know that, right now, in the shadow next to a deserted villa dozens of meters away, a bald man was watching her expressionlessly.

From such a distance, in the dead of the night, most people would only see a vague figure of a woman standing on the balcony, at most discerning that she was a woman with short hair.

However, with Xiang Kun’s enhanced vision in night vision mode, he could clearly see the changes in her facial expressions just by utilizing the dim moonlight and the light from her back, even from this distance.

He could tell Mijoe was going through obvious waves of confliction, worry, confusion, and bewilderment.

He also knew why Mijoe was feeling this way because he was the one who caused it.

After guiding Mijoe’s dream with the “black circle graffiti”, Xiang Kun saw the “researcher” who told her about the strange occurrences at the An Tie Town research center and in the Qinling Uninhabited Area. He confirmed that it was Dr. Fang Pingfang, who Alice had identified for him. Moreover, he tried to “modify” and “edit” her dream by entering a “super-sensory-like state” in the dream.

Last time, when he tried to modify Mijoe’s dream, he simply stretched the screen of her laptop in the dream, which was very simple.

But this time, what he tried to do was much more complicated.

He substituted Guo Tianxiang’s image for Fang Pingfang.

In Xiang Kun’s opinion, both he and Mijoe had seen Guo Tianxiang, so it should not be too difficult for his image to appear in Mijoe’s dream.
