Chapter 394: Confrontation (Three more updates, please subscribe)

Early the next morning, Wang Tianwu opened the tightly closed blinds a little and observed the surrounding situation.

There were not many people on the streets in the morning and few shops were open, but the Western restaurant opposite the safe house did open early.

The store's operating hours are from 7:30 am to 9 pm.

Wang Tianwu saw a thin figure eating a Western breakfast opposite him.

He was a young man of about 19 years old, with handsome features and eyes filled with nostalgia and melancholy.

“He really came—”

Wang Tianwu's thick eyebrows raised slightly, and surprise appeared in his eyes.

He had recently carefully checked the information of this young boss and learned that the small villa area nearby was where Lin Rui used to live, and this Western restaurant should be a store frequented by the boss and his family.

Especially in the past two years, the little boss's sister often works in this store.

So it is very reasonable for Lin Rui to appear here.

The problem is that their enemy is 'Linghuan'. Does this little BOSS really dare to come and meddle?

Wang Tianwu then observed the surrounding environment and sneered disdainfully.

The smell of the Security Bureau is too strong here. At least half of the people on the street have been replaced by Security Bureau people.

The waiters, chefs, salesmen, patrolmen, etc. in various stores were all replaced, but most of these people lacked acting experience, appeared clumsy, and did not act very convincingly.

The only ones who were not replaced were the mobile personnel, such as customers like Lin Rui who came to have breakfast.

The Security Bureau's action this time was huge, but it was impossible to completely replace all the people nearby.

Wang Tianwu shook his head, not understanding what Xu Mengran and the others were planning. He could only shake his head and walked back into the room, boredly watching the various videos and information he had found on the Internet.

Wang Tianwu is still studying his BOSS.

The limited time yesterday and the day before yesterday, coupled with the spiritual threat, kept him on edge all the time.

In order to avoid being found by the hackers under Ling Huan, Wang Tianwu did not dare to open quantum communication for a long time, nor did he dare to collect network information wantonly, so he only had time to get a general understanding of Lin Rui.

After arriving at this safe house last night, Wang Tianwu carved the talisman array pattern that Lin Rui had instructed him to have on his body, and only then did he have the leisure to investigate his BOSS in depth.

After this investigation, Wang Tianwu realized that he might have been too optimistic.

"Fuck, are this guy's sales figures that high? Over 40 billion in sales a month, doesn't that mean his sales revenue alone must be close to billion a month?"

"And there are these martial arts explanation videos, with over a hundred different martial arts of the three categories of light, thunder, and fire. They're all very well-presented and full of practical information! They're all at the Grandmaster level."

"Is Ruifang Pharmaceutical's sales so brisk? It's only been open for a few months, and they already have counters in major shopping malls across fourteen base cities? And they're all in prominent locations. They look incredibly popular and packed with people."

Wang Tianwu looked surprised and doubtful. These large shopping malls were not something a startup company could enter whenever it wanted. In addition to financial resources, it also had to have a certain brand appeal to bring traffic and sales to the mall.

He felt that his plan to drain all of Lin Rui's financial resources was unrealistic, as this guy probably wouldn't be short of money for decades.

In addition, Wang Tianwu discovered that Fei Yunlai had actually been Lin Rui's coach.

He had originally refused to accept Fei Yunlai's message, but now he sent another message.

Dali Ma Wang (Wang Tianwu): You've been the head coach at Mingde University for the past two months? So you must be familiar with Lin Rui from your team. What do you think of him?
At this time, Wang Tianwu felt vaguely uneasy in his heart. He thought that Lin Rui was very rich and Fei Yunlai was very short of money!
Could the boss Fei Yunlai was referring to be Lin Rui? But that wasn't right. Wang Tianwu couldn't remember when he had ever offended that little boss.

Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): Idiot, I don’t want to talk to you, get out!

After seeing Fei Yunlai's reply, Wang Tianwu couldn't help but frown. What's wrong with this guy?
It was at this moment that he received a message from Xu Mengran.

Xu Mengran: Here he comes! Be careful of his colonial war dragon.

Wang Tianwu's heart trembled. Not only was this area the surface of the base city, but the surrounding area was also very open, making it most suitable for the activities of colonial war dragons.

The magical war dragon is called 'Imperial Dream Dragon', an extremely powerful illusion dragon species. The terrifying thing is that this dragon can walk between illusion and reality, temporarily hide in the spiritual world of people, and in an instant drag all living beings within a few kilometers around it into the illusion it weaves.

He immediately put on his exoskeleton armor, which enhanced his defense while covering the talisman array on his body.

Then he suddenly rushed to the window next to him and jumped out.

Wang Tianwu had just landed when he saw the "spiritual illusion".

This man was still wearing a Taoist robe and black boots, just like the day before when he jumped out of the hotel in the lower area.

However, the moment Wang Tianwu landed, his face turned pale.

He was also a top illusionist, and from the feeling he had just felt when he landed he knew that he had fallen into the dream woven by the 'Imperial Illusion Dream Dragon'.

The illusion ability of 'Spirit Illusion' itself is very powerful, and when combined with his 'Imperial Illusion Dream Dragon', it is even a bug-level existence.

When the Shenzhao Society split up in the past, the Earth Federation gathered ten ninth-level cultivators to attack Linghuan, but they were still unable to defeat him and were instead seriously injured by three of them.

It wasn't until the Federation brought out the latest technological Type 9 combat robots and invited the East Asian illusion master Xu Mengran to force the "Spirit Illusion" back. However, in the past 200 years, the "Spirit Illusion" has remained a major concern for the Federation.

So if Ling Huan's mortal enemy Xu Mengran hadn't spoken up this time, Wang Tianwu would never have believed such a ridiculous thing.

Wang Tianwu bit his tongue hard, trying to wake himself up, but it was no use. He found himself still in a dream.

Through some details around him, Wang Tianwu can distinguish between illusion and reality.

His face looked extremely ugly, and he turned around and ran at full speed to the other side of the street.

It was over! After not seeing him for a few years, his teacher's illusion ability had actually increased to this extent! He was actually able to forcibly pull an illusionist like him, who possessed the eighth level of super-emperor mental power, into the illusion, unable to escape.

As Wang Tianwu fled, he glanced in both directions with the corner of his eye.

The people around me looked normal. They were shopping, jogging in the morning, walking their dogs, receiving guests, selling, bargaining, everything was normal.

Those were real people, and they had no idea that they were already in a dream.

——Including Lin Rui, who had finished breakfast and was talking to the waiter in the store with a smile, apparently paying the bill.

His little boss also didn't notice anything unusual around him.

"Are you still going to run? What on earth are you expecting?"

'Linghuan', dressed in Taoist robes and with an immortal look, suddenly appeared in front of Wang Tianwu, looking at Wang Tianwu with curiosity.

"Is it Xu Mengran, or the Federal Security Bureau?"

Wang Tianwu immediately turned around and ran in the other direction.

Ling Huan smiled and followed behind Wang Tianwu. He walked as usual, but Wang Tianwu, who was running madly, couldn't get rid of him no matter what.

"The First and Third Commanders of the Security Bureau have arrived at the Ninth Base City and are currently 600 kilometers away. They thought I hadn't noticed them, but I actually sensed their presence a long time ago. Incidentally, my sensing range has increased."

"And Xu Mengran. He seemed to want to fight me again just now, but before the battle, he got scared again and took the initiative to retreat 200 kilometers away. He was right. He is old and a whole realm lower than me. He is no match for me now."

"The FSB has even deployed hundreds of 320mm antimatter annihilation cannons pointed at this place, remotely controlled by combat robots. But what good does that do me? You should have noticed, right? My illusions are no longer limited to carbon-based life forms; they can also influence the minds of machines!"

Wang Tianwu's face turned pale. He had discovered this a long time ago.

The exoskeleton armor outside Wang Tianwu's dream has completely gone out of control.

Otherwise, the preset awakening system in his 8SSS-level 'Emperor' armor should be able to wake him up.

"But I'll give them their blessing. 'Federal Security Service blunders, shelling a commercial center and nearby residential areas, resulting in over tens of thousands of casualties.' What do you think of this headline?"

"I'm just a little confused. Why do they have so many security officers stationed around here? What's their purpose?"

Linghuan's eyes were full of confusion.

Since Xu Mengran had seen through the relationship between him and Wang Tianwu, he should have known that he would come. Even if all the people nearby were evacuated, he would still show up.

Ling Xuan will never allow his parasitic soul to fall into the hands of the Earth Federation. Even if it costs a huge price, he must get his parasitic soul back!

What's more, the people from the Security Bureau made such a big fuss beforehand and imitated him so poorly. Do they think he is a fool?
Ling Xuan then shook his head slightly, thinking that it didn't matter. He had enough confidence that even if the FSB brought out the powerful lineup it had 200 years ago, he would still be able to handle it with ease.

Moreover, the people of the Federation are now divided and cannot do this at all—

He raised his hand and suddenly grabbed Wang Tianwu's neck. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp white teeth. "I've never understood why you betrayed me in the first place. You have my psychic clues deep within your souls, and I haven't revealed any flaws that would alert you. How did you discover the abnormality in your bodies? Is there another expert helping you? Who is he?"

Wang Tianwu struggled hard like a snake being strangled by someone.

But he found that his soul and his body could not move at all.

Wang Tianwu could only open his eyes wide and glare at Ling Huan with his bloodshot eyes.

"You don't want to say it?" Linghuan smiled casually, and his head, which originally had gaunt features, suddenly became bigger, expanding nearly 20 times in an instant, and then he swallowed Wang Tianwu into his bloody mouth with a sudden bite.

Wang Tianwu was completely unable to resist. In the last moment, he looked towards Lin Rui with helplessness and despair.

He felt that he had been badly betrayed by Xu Mengran and Lin Rui this time.

At this moment, Wang Tianwu was stunned again.

He noticed that after Lin Rui paid the bill, he actually looked at him with an expressionless face.

Wang Tianwu's pupils then widened and his eyes looked incredulous.

At this moment, all the people in the whole street who were trapped in the dream did not notice his and Linghuan's existence, but his little boss did!

Although this person fell into an illusion, he clearly maintained a clear consciousness. The question is, how is this possible?
