After she returned to the sanatorium room, Fei Yuhan locked the door from the inside and took out the recording device that was embedded in the decorative flap.

It was about the size of a grain that couldn’t play sound by itself. She needed to insert it into a special reader to hear its recorded content.

After transferring the data into her laptop, she found the sound file recorded at the time closest to when Valkries left the arena and pressed play.

Bzzt… Bzzt…

“We meet once more, Miss Valkries.” Roland’s voice could be heard.

Here it comes.

Fei Yuhan upturned the corner of her mouth and boiled herself a cup of hot tea.

She was going to thoroughly enjoy the results of her long planning.

…

Before the owner managed to take a sip, the steaming tea slowly cooled down until it was ice-cold once more.

Even though she had a premonition ages ago, the things that she heard still far exceeded her expectations!

When she pressed the stop button, Fei Yuhan’s discovered that even her fingertip was trembling slightly.

For a long-time famous martial artist, this could be counted as a loss of control over her body!

She finally knew why a hunter like Roland had cracked his wine glass that evening at the party—if this involved the secrets of god, it would have been unusual if he hadn’t been perturbed.

The idea that the Dream World was created, civilizations battling for their survival, the continuity and connection between the two worlds, a guardian traversing the Realm of Mind… Could there be anything more unbelievable than this?

Originally, Roland’s and Valkries’ choice to discuss in a cafe disappointed Fei Yuhan a little, but the contents of their discussion were so shocking that after she finished listening she realized that even if the things they said were stated formally and seriously, others would still view it as nonsense.

Even so, Fei Yuhan didn’t think what the two talked about was false. If Roland started putting on an act the day after she began secretly observing him, then that would have been too much of a stretch.

If this world was really manufactured by humans then she was most likely the first to discover the truth behind the scenes—

“Ha…” Fei Yuhan laughed softly.

This feeling was… so satisfying!

As for the Oracle’s question of “fiction or reality”, it did not concern her at all. Nobody knew better than herself that she was definitely a living, breathing being. Whether it was her gestures and actions, or every idea that emerged in her mind—everything came from her own will. It was the same this time, with her taking the initiative to pry into the outsiders’ secrets.

So what if Roland was one of the creators of the world? If planets were created by cosmic energy and elementary particles, it would make little difference if the former was replaced with a person.

Fei Yuhan leaned back into her chair, letting her body quiver as she enjoyed this feeling of pleasure which she had not felt for a while.

Only after a long time did her excitement slowly ease back into calmness.

In theory, she should report to the Martialist Association regarding the intel about the gods seeking to destroy the world and the nature of the Fallen Evils. However, due to the immense scope and how it could basically rewrite history, she decided to observe for a bit longer.

After all, apart from the discussion between the two, she didn’t have a single piece of solid evidence in her hands. She could also not rule out the possibility that they were both severely hysterical drug addicts. She had heard of urban legends that from the second year of junior high, people had the potential to gain telepathy and resonate with others of their kind. Even though the likelihood of such situations was very low, it wouldn’t be bad to guard against it.

It was a good thing that Valkries had already formally established a communication method with Roland, that way the chances of spying on their secrets would increase.

Currently the thing that interested Fei Yuhan the most was the world that the two originally came from.

For example, the women who referred to Roland as “His Majesty”.

If they could enter the Dream World, could she take a look at what the world was like on their side too?

…Take a look at the supposed… reality.

…

“Where did you run off to?” Garcia glared discontentedly at Roland. “What about your promise to watch the game with Zero?”

“Sorry… I had to report some things to the Association, I didn’t have a choice either.” Roland rubbed the back of his head. He was in the wrong in this matter, so he capitulated very readily. In order for him and Valkries to return at different times, he intentionally dawdled at the restaurant for a little longer and, when he left, it was already evening rush hour. This resulted in causing the two to wait at the arena’s gate for half an hour longer.

“If it wasn’t because I still have patrolling work to do, I would have ditched you ages ago,” Garcia said angrily. “Take the little girl out to a nice meal to make it up to her.”

She patted Zero’s head. Zero nodded and trotted to Roland’s side. When she reached there, she even gave Garcia a bow and said, “Thank you, Big Sister!”

“If he mistreats you, you must tell me.”

“Okay.”

This brat, pretending to be so docile in front of outsiders. Roland couldn’t help but curse her inwardly. Yet, on the surface, he said enthusiastically, “Relax, leave it all to me. Oh yeah, do you want me to bring you some as well?”

“There’s no need,” Garcia waved her hand magnanimously. “You guys go first, I’m going back to the arena now.”

“Sorry to trouble you today.” After he bade farewell to Garcia, he shrugged his shoulders at Zero. “Let’s go, there’s a shopping mall ahead; you can eat whatever you want today.”
