"Begin the execution!"

At the command of the figure in red, a raging fire began to burn beneath the cross.

The crimson flames, like venomous snakes, slowly climbed up the wooden cross, eventually devouring the figure bound to it bit by bit.

The grayish-blue figure let out a agonizing wail amidst the flames—a sound that no human could possibly make…

Just standing there listening, Tang Yu felt a chill run from his tailbone straight up to the top of his head...

For some reason, Tang Yu felt that the figure in the flames was staring intently at him with a pair of majestic golden eyes.

The next second, Tang Yu's body stiffened.

A deep anger and despair suddenly welled up in his heart, a terrifying emotion that seemed to burn the whole world to ashes.

Physically, a burning pain spread throughout his body, as if he himself were being roasted in a raging fire.

"what!!!!"

This kind of pain is far beyond what ordinary people can bear, and Tang Yu is clearly not among those abnormal people.

Like the figure on the cross, he let out a heart-wrenching roar.

……

inside the room.

Lying on the bed, Tang Yu was clearly in a rather unpleasant dream.

His eyelids trembled rapidly, and his body shifted restlessly.

At the moment when the pain in the dream reached its peak, Tang Yu finally woke up, ending that feeling that felt like being in hell.

He sat up in bed, his face covered in sweat, his eyes filled with lingering fear.

"Huff... Huff... Damn it, what kind of nightmare is this? It's too real!" As he spoke, Tang Yu raised his hand to wipe the water stains on his face, which he couldn't tell were sweat or tears.

"Oh, is it really a dream? If it is a dream... then why are you crying?"

These words were originally just Tang Yu talking to himself, but to his surprise, someone actually answered him.

A clear female voice came from the shadow of the clothes rack by the door.

Upon hearing the sound, Tang Yu was startled, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

"Could it be a thief broke into my house?! This little thief is too bold, daring to steal from my house. My name, Tang Sandao, isn't just for show!"

"Don't worry, I'm not a thief, just a stranger passing by."

The owner of the voice seemed to have read Tang Yu's thoughts and spoke up to explain.

"Are all thieves this arrogant these days? Do I look like an idiot? Save that kind of talk for fooling ghosts!"

Tang Yu used a sarcastic tone to provoke the owner of the voice, trying to make her reveal a weakness and expose her position so that he could deliver a thunderous blow.

However, the so-called "petty thief" on the other side was clearly professionally trained, and Tang Yu's clumsy attempt to provoke her did not have much effect on her.

The stranger remained like a skilled assassin, lurking in the darkness, silent and stealthy, like a venomous snake...

On the bed, Tang Yu cautiously scanned the darkness around him while his brain worked at a rapid pace.

"This guy doesn't look like an ordinary petty thief, so there are only a few possibilities left."

"Kassel College, the mysterious Hunter's Guild, the Kassel Neon Branch, or Lu Mingfei's devilish brother—Lu Mingze's subordinate."

Tang Yu rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. "The first ones we can rule out are the Hunter Guild and the Japanese branch."

Tang Yu had no interaction with these guys who roamed the shadows, and recently no Japanese or gangsters had appeared around him.

"Both of the remaining possibilities are possible..."

After all, Tang Yu had been hanging around Lu Mingfei, who possessed S-level bloodline, for so long that it was hard not to attract the attention of these two major organizations.

He had long been prepared to face these organizations, and the only thing he couldn't be sure of now was which side this lurking figure in the shadows belonged to.

"Which side are they on?" Tang Yu wondered to himself.

Just then, a faint blue light suddenly pierced through the darkness, the pale blue rays swirling and intertwining in the air, eventually forming a lifelike image of a young girl.

The girl was wearing a white silk nightgown and fluffy bunny slippers. Her large eyes had a slightly mechanical quality, and her voice was hollow, yet very light and airy.

Upon seeing this, Tang Yu's pupils contracted.

He had already guessed the identity of the person who came through the projection.

The projection was none other than Norma, the chief secretary of the Kassel College and an artificial intelligence.

Now that we've confirmed they're from Kassel College, things are much easier.

After all, these guys still have to follow the rules on the surface.

"Tang Yu, born in 1993, is an orphan who was adopted by Tang Tai and Zhu Lin in Binhai City."

"In 2004, Mr. and Mrs. Tang were involved in a car accident while traveling and both died, leaving you a house, which is the one you live in now."

"In 2006, you registered a pen name on a website and started uploading novels. The novels subsequently became hugely popular, and you earned a considerable sum of money..."

Norma's emotionless, mechanical voice echoed in Tang Yu's small house.

------------

5. Little Devil Norma

The voice meticulously recounted the people Tang Yu had known and the things they had done, detailing everything in detail.

Norma even told Tang Yu that he had secretly climbed over the wall to watch the pornographic videos a few times.

This feeling is terrifying to think about.

It's like having a pair of eyes watching you from the shadows 24/7...

"Enough! Who are you people? Is it fun to spy on other people's privacy like this?" Tang Yu shouted angrily, showing extreme anger.

He tried his best to behave like a normal person, so as not to go too far.

Tang Yu dared not reveal that he already knew about Kassel College; that would be dangerous and an act of utter suicidal behavior.

Kassel College, though it's more accurate to call it by its former name, "Secret Party," rather than "College."

The fact that they dare to call themselves a "party" shows that almost everyone in the secret party is a ruthless scoundrel!

If Tang Yu dares to act too abnormally at this time, then the lightest fate awaiting him will be imprisonment or exile by the Secret Party's elders... oh no, the board of directors.

Looking at the furious Tang Yu, Norma's expression remained calm. She spoke in a flat voice devoid of any emotion.

"Mr. Tang Yu, based on our speculation, you have awakened your bloodline. Did you see something surreal or unusual in your dream just now? You only need to answer yes or no."

Seemingly sensing Tang Yu's wariness, Norma added, "Please rest assured, we mean no harm. If we wanted to hurt you, we wouldn't need to go to such lengths."

Norma's voice remained hollow. In the darkness, the Kassel College student hiding in the shadows made a move.

Clang...

A streak of silver light shot out from the darkness, grazed Tang Yu's arm, and landed precisely near the pillow, producing a soft metallic clang.

Now Tang Yu was even more certain that the opponent's combat strength far exceeded his own!

The flying knife is the best proof.

Under Tang Yu's pillow, there was always a dagger for self-defense.

Since the other party clearly knew where his weapon was, it meant that in their eyes, Tang Yu posed no threat whatsoever.

Thinking of this, Tang Yu retreated tactically and said warily, "Since you don't want my life, then just say it! Who are you and what do you want to do?"

"If you want money, I can give it to you, but only if you guarantee my safety!"

"No, Mr. Tang Yu, your money is your private property and is protected by law! We are an academy and do not engage in robbery or plunder."

Norma spoke again, but this time, her voice was no longer hollow; there seemed to be a hint of a little girl's emotion in her tone.

This is Norma's personality pattern, although in essence, she is still a computer.

But at least emotionally, Norma can be considered a complete human being.

"I reiterate, our presence here is purely accidental."

"Regarding your identity... you are not on our academy's admission list, but since you activated your spiritual vision in your dream, you must have awakened your bloodline, and its purity is not too low."

"Therefore, you will have another path in your life from now on."

"What road?" Tang Yu asked, feigning curiosity.

“Open the gates of Kassel, join Kassel College, and come with us… to see the real world!” Norma said.

"The real world? Ha..." Tang Yu scoffed, "You guys think you're writing a novel? So childish."

"If Mr. Tang Yu doesn't believe it, please take a look at these."

Norma calmly waved her hand, and blue light gathered in front of Tang Yu's eyes. The three-dimensional projection images flashed past Tang Yu's eyes one by one, as if time was slowly flowing.

Various dragons, dragon-blooded aliens, alchemical weapons, and wondrous alchemical creations are displayed here.

Some secrets and information that could be considered top secret by outsiders were revealed to Tang Yu without reservation, just like free cabbages.

Although Tang Yu already knew that Kassel College possessed many secrets, he still couldn't help but be shocked when he actually saw it.

The earliest recorded dynasty is the Xia Dynasty, but in the records of the Kassel College, this time point is pushed back several thousand years.

It was a dynasty built by dragons, in which humans lived only as food and servants.

"Are these... real?" Tang Yu asked tentatively.

"Whether it's true or not, you've already made your own judgment, haven't you? I don't need to say anything more, do I?" Norma gave a very playful smile.

“There’s another problem.” Tang Yu pulled out a document from the screen. “This document says that after activating Spirit Vision, one will gain a strange ability called ‘Word Power,’ but why don’t I feel anything at all right now?”

“This is normal.” Norma’s fluorescent fingers touched the headboard of Tang Yu’s bed, where there was a family photo. Tang Yu was grinning from ear to ear in the photo, laughing carefree.

Norma explained softly, "If you compare the dragon bloodline in your body to a lock, then the Spirit Vision is like the key. Activating the Spirit Vision is like inserting the key into the lock."

"You need to twist it a bit to unlock this lock and release the power of words deep within your body."

Well, another riddle teller!

Tang Yu secretly grumbled to himself.

The foreplay is over; now it's time to talk about the most important thing.
