Chapter 666: Stealing

Nighttime.

Chen Yan returned to the dormitory and organized the patrol teacher trajectories compiled from the Great Xia Creation Realm and the Five Clans Creation Realm.

Chen Yan sat cross-legged, a model of the entire dormitory building appearing in his mind.

Within the model of the dormitory building, the trajectories of the patrol teachers' movements began to appear.

Chen Yan performed a simple deduction.

He then discovered where the problem lay.

Throughout the entire dormitory building, there was not just one patrol teacher, but three.

Because the dormitory building had three floors in total, and Chen Yan was on the second floor.

The time for checking each floor was exactly the same, which could only mean that three patrol teachers were conducting a unified inspection during the same time period.

Midnight, 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM, and 6:00 AM—these three teachers would conduct inspections at the prescribed times.

Each inspection lasted for twenty minutes.

And throughout the entire night, the old man in the school security office would begin a full school patrol at 12:15 AM; the rest of the time, the old man remained inside the school security office, scanning the entire school.

In other words, Chen Yan had to act after 12:20 AM and leave the school after the old man had patrolled to the dormitory building.

Furthermore, if Chen Yan did not find an opportunity to generate more Breath of Life and Death after leaving the school.

Chen Yan would have no chance at all to return to the school.

Because the security old man would only patrol once, and the rest of the time he would be in the security office checking the entire school.

Today was already the third day that Lu Xunyang had spoken of.

Chen Yan had no choice; he could not continue to delay any longer.

Succeed or perish.

Chen Yan took out the sheet of white paper that Lu Xunyang had given him.

He looked at the entire school from outside the window.

The real school was once again revealed within Chen Yan's line of sight.

The entire school was like a sealed prison.

The surface of the surrounding walls peeled away into a texture like rotting flesh, resembling skinned biological tissue, covered in sticky, dark red blood vessels and blue-purple tumors.

These tumors were living things; once touched, the entire school would notice.

Climbing the walls was simply not an option.

The only way was to climb over the school gate.

Chen Yan looked at the school gate; those iron bars had turned into twisted, bone-white joints, as if forcibly spliced together from human spines.

But within these twisted joints, there were gaps that one could use to leave.

This was the loophole in the rules.

Time passed slowly.

Until the time of midnight.

Tap, tap, tap...

The eerie sound of footsteps echoed throughout the entire corridor.

Click, click, click...

Someone began to twist the dormitory door handle; this sound vibrated, as if it could stir up the deepest fear in a person's heart.

Chen Yan kept his eyes tightly shut; a faint, fishy stench wafted over.

Accompanied by sobbing and a series of increasingly noisy, delirious mutterings.

That existence which could not be looked upon directly appeared once again before Chen Yan, its low breathing sound extremely close to him.

Soft strands of hair fell onto Chen Yan's cheek as he slept on his side, and gradually, the hair began to stroke Chen Yan like tentacles.

Chen Yan's breathing was calm, his sleeping posture serene; he did not make a single movement.

Soon, the patrol teacher left once again.

Tap, tap, tap...

Her footsteps echoed throughout the corridor; Chen Yan listened quietly, listening until the other party had checked the very last dormitory, and then walked back from the end of the corridor.

Chen Yan sat up and looked out the window.

The old man from the security office had already stepped out of the security office, carrying a flashlight to patrol the entire school.

In a moment, the other party would patrol behind the dormitory building.

At this time.

The space from the front of the dormitory building to the school gate would have a window of less than three minutes.

This was also Chen Yan's only chance to leave the school.

Chen Yan got up lightly, stepped softly on the floor, and arrived behind the door.

Outside the door, the patrol teacher was already walking from the end of the corridor toward Chen Yan's side.

The other party was going to walk to the other end of the corridor and then go downstairs.

And the patrol teachers on the other two floors would also go downstairs at the same time.

Tap, tap, tap!

The patrol teacher's footsteps resounded throughout the entire corridor.

She walked all the way to the door where Chen Yan was, then suddenly stopped.

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes, holding his breath at this moment.

Tap, tap, tap!

The sound of footsteps started up again.

The dorm inspection teacher left, then went downstairs.

Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, having thought the other party was going to do a second round of room inspections.

A dozen seconds later.

A click sound.

Chen Yan opened the room door.

Appearing in the corridor, he did not move immediately, but instead walked to the end of the corridor, his body pressed against the wall; one more step forward would be the stairwell.

Tap, tap, tap!

A set of footsteps rang out from the stairs between the third and second floors.

This was the teacher who had inspected the third floor, now heading downstairs.

Soon, the third-floor teacher also went downstairs.

Only then did Chen Yan step onto the landing, walking up the stairs with extremely light footsteps, slowly heading down.

Arriving at the corner of the stairs between the second and first floors, Chen Yan crouched down and looked into the first-floor lobby through the gaps in the stairs.

He saw three distorted, massive shadows swaying on the ground.

Soon, these three distorted, massive shadows walked into the corridor on the left side of the first floor.

A click sound.

The sound of a door opening rang out.

Click!

The sound of a door closing rang out once again.

Those three dorm inspection teachers must have walked into a bedroom to rest.

Chen Yan calculated the time.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

He crouched at the corner of the stairs, counting the time silently.

According to his calculations, the security guard should have reached the back of the dormitory building by now.

Chen Yan stood up and walked downstairs with light footsteps.

He arrived at the first-floor lobby, walked to the front of the dormitory building, and was just about to run toward the playground.

It was at this very moment.

A blinding light flashed across the entire playground.

This light came from the walkway on the left side of the dormitory building; it was clearly the security guard habitually looking back just as he was about to enter the rear of the dormitory building.

Soon, the light moved and disappeared.

Only then did Chen Yan walk onto the playground.

His speed was extremely fast, his footsteps swift as he ran toward the school gate.

Soon, he arrived in front of the school gate.

Chen Yan took out the white paper and held it before his eyes.

In an instant, the two-person-high iron art school gate turned into rows of ghastly white bone joints.

Soon, Chen Yan crawled through a gap in the white bones.

He had left the school.

Chen Yan's heartbeat slowed slightly.

But now, Chen Yan could truly be said to have stepped onto a dead end.

If Chen Yan could not resolve the problem outside the school, then Chen Yan would never be able to return to the school.

He would also be wanted by the entire illusion world, a dead end.

Chen Yan looked around.

The twilight faded, and the small town sank into the night.

Streetlights cast warm yellow halos, the surrounding houses were quiet, the old stone slab road glowed with a grayish-blue hue, tranquil and cozy.

But if Chen Yan placed the white paper before his eyes.

The ground was like biological tissue stripped of its skin and flesh, dark red blood vessels and greenish-purple tumors wriggled on the surface, and when stepped upon, they would ooze foul-smelling, sticky fluid.

The two rows of streetlights had turned into two rows of gaunt human bodies standing silently, five meters tall.

They wore pitch-black tattered clothes fluttering in the wind, their heads hanging low, their faces completely rotted and overflowing with scarlet light.

As for the houses on both sides of the street, they were actually massive, tightly coiled tumor hills.

Chen Yan scanned the ground; on the meat-wall-like land, winding, blood-vessel-shaped vines bulged, with black-red plasma flowing inside—this was the source of the "Pitch-Black Banana" energy supply within the school.

Chen Yan followed this blood vessel and searched forward; as he walked, pale arms would occasionally reach out from cracks in the ground, wanting to drag Chen Yan into the earth.

Chen Yan dodged continuously while accelerating.

Until the very end.

A hospital appeared at the edge of his vision.

The blood vessel providing the "Pitch-Black Banana" energy supply grew out from this very hospital.

Chen Yan placed the white paper before his eyes.

The entire hospital turned into a massive monster, crouching on the ground.

Its large mouth was wide open, waiting for Chen Yan to enter.

Chen Yan took the white paper away from his eyes.

The hospital was clean and tidy.

The lobby lights were clear and bright, quiet and empty.

Chen Yan closed his eyes, his mind spinning rapidly deep within his brain.

Following that, he walked into the hospital with quiet steps.

The entire hospital was empty, and Chen Yan followed the blood vessels toward the stairs.

The second floor, the third floor, the fourth floor.

He encountered no problems at all.

Yet the more this was the case, the more Chen Yan felt something was wrong.

It was as if, faintly, a pair of eyes had been staring at him the entire time.

The blood vessels under his feet continued along the stairs upward, and within them seemed to flow some kind of evil life force.

Everything had become incomparably eerie.

This was the truth of the world, and also the other side of the world.

It had been a long time since Chen Yan had felt this sense of weakness inherent to being human.

Was he terrified?

He was not terrified.

Chen Yan had always believed that when he established his mental realm, he had ascended the Seeking Sun Pagoda by dying.

That time, he had already severed every weakness of being human.

He could be weak, but he would never be cowardly.

He could be ignorant, but he would never be arrogant.

Compared to Chen Yan groping his way here, Lu Xunyang, who was currently in a great battle with the Shi Meng Mo, was the one bearing even greater pressure.

And so, just like that.

Chen Yan walked to the top floor.

A large ward.

The door was half-ajar, and inside were two rows, totaling twelve hospital beds.

On ten of those beds, patients were lying.

And the blood vessel supplying energy to the 'Pitch-Black Banana' led all the way into a large door at the very back of this ward.

Chen Yan took out the white paper and stared at it once more.

The next moment, the color of Chen Yan's eyes shifted slightly.

For he saw.

The so-called ward was actually a massive cavern.

All around the cavern were fissures filled with sharp teeth, and tentacle-like blood vessels floated within the cavern, slowly contracting and expanding.

And those two rows of ten quietly sleeping patients.

Were twisted monsters embedded into the sides of the cavern.

They were plunged into deep slumber, their faces serene, their chests rising and falling rhythmically.

Waves of incomparably powerful pressure radiated from their bodies.

Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beasts!

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

These were ten Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beasts standing and sleeping.

Or perhaps, it could not be called sleeping, but rather gestating.

Because on their feet, there was a pipe connected to the blood vessels.

This blood vessel was not only supplying energy to the 'Pitch-Black Banana' in the school infirmary, but also constantly supplying energy to them.

And the aura of these Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beasts was also becoming stronger and deeper.

The source of the blood vessels was behind that tightly shut metal door; if Chen Yan wanted to go down, he had to walk between these two rows of Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beasts.

The problem was, as long as Chen Yan woke them up, the only thing left for Chen Yan would be a dead end.

Chen Yan pursed his lips and walked into the ward—or to be precise, into the cavern.

Whoosh...

A breeze carrying a foul stench brushed past.

A 'click' sound suddenly rang out!

Behind Chen Yan, the door that had been half-ajar suddenly closed.

Chen Yan paused in the middle of the two rows of hospital beds, holding his breath.

Sshhh-la-la.

On one of the hospital beds, a patient slowly shifted their body.

Chen Yan took out the white paper to observe.

That Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beast was still embedded in the rock wall, pitch-black slime flowing from the corner of its mouth, sleeping very serenely.

Chen Yan continued to walk forward.

He was certainly no match for an Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beast right now.

Not to mention ten, even one could directly kill Chen Yan; a single breath would be enough.

The illusion world suppressed the combat power of all humans.

But how could it possibly suppress Ancient God Beasts?

Chen Yan's expression was calm, but his heart was extremely heavy.

In the world, there were unexpectedly so many Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beasts.

But looking at it, these Ancient God Beasts were at most on the same level as the Dark-Devouring Mother Nest, all at the early Eighth-Rank.

But if released, it would also be a disaster for the human race.

Chen Yan could not walk too quickly.

His breathing was synchronized with his steps; with every exhalation, he lifted his foot, and with every inhalation, he set his foot down.

He could be certain that the source of the blood vessels was right behind the final metal door of the ward.

As long as Chen Yan found enough blood-Qi energy to refine more blood-Qi into his own universe.

As long as he achieved the cycle of his own universe, he would obtain a new aura of life and death.

No matter how powerful the Shi Meng Mo was, this illusion world was definitely not invincible.

Because, there was the involvement of Lu Xunyang.

Lu Xunyang dealt with the Shi Meng Mo from the outside, while Chen Yan dealt with the Shi Meng Mo from the inside.

If they could kill the Shi Meng Mo, the benefits the two could obtain would be unimaginable.

Perhaps, Lu Xunyang could even leave the Ancient God Forbidden Land.

"Did you think I didn't see you?"

A childish voice suddenly rang out; Chen Yan's pupils shrank abruptly, and he stood frozen in place.

Chen Yan slowly turned his head.

He saw an Ancient God Beast composed of countless tentacles embedded within the rock wall.

It was three meters tall, shaped overall like a giant octopus, with countless tentacles dripping with mucus like asphalt.

"Did you think I didn't notice you?"

The childish girl's voice rang out again.

"Stealing things is not good."

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes, the power of will within his body already prepared to erupt.

Even knowing he was surely going to die, he was not prepared to give up the fight before the very last moment.

But the next moment.

"Did you think I didn't notice you?"

"Stealing things is not good."

The childish voice rang out again.

Chen Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and put away the white paper in front of him.

That tentacled Ancient God Beast had turned into a little girl lying on a hospital bed, her eyes closed, muttering to herself.

So, she was talking in her sleep.

Chen Yan breathed slowly.

Do Ancient God Beasts talk in their sleep too?

Or was it that he had actually touched the rules of the illusion world, and now the illusion world had only vaguely sensed Chen Yan's anomaly?

Chen Yan held the white paper before his eyes and looked up.

Those strands of hair binding him had already changed from transparent to pure black.

This ink-fication was happening extremely fast.

Ever since Chen Yan left the school, the ink-fication of the hair had become faster and faster.

Right up until now.

Perhaps, in less than thirty minutes, these strands of hair would turn completely pure black.

Chen Yan's heart sank slightly.

These strands of hair represented the constraints of the rules.

Once they turned pure black, he would be completely discovered by the illusion world.

Therefore...

What that Ancient God Beast said just now was not sleep-talking.

It was that the illusion world had already gained some awareness.

Once the hair became completely ink-fied, what would be left for Chen Yan was perhaps a dead end.

An increasingly intense danger was arriving.

At least for now.

That Ancient God Beast had not yet awakened.

But Chen Yan did not move.

"Did you think I didn't notice you?"

"Stealing things is not good."

The childish voice rang out again.

Immediately following, a rustling sound arose.

Within the entire ward, the expressions on the faces of five patients began to change.

Some even began to toss and turn.

Clearly, the sleep-talking of one Ancient God Beast was causing the other Ancient God Beasts to not sleep very well.

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes, still not moving.

"Did you think I didn't notice you?"

"Stealing things is... not good."

The childish voice continued to ring out, only it was becoming increasingly slurred and unclear.

Until a certain moment.

"You think... I..."

On the hospital bed, the little girl spoke indistinctly, saliva flowing from the corner of her mouth.

She finally did not speak again.

Chen Yan's brows eased slightly as he walked toward the final metal door.

His pace became slower and slower.

Just now, his movements had not been slow enough, nor light enough, which was why he had triggered the sleep-talking of that Ancient Divine Beast.

Chen Yan's greatest strength was his calmness.

Since others could kill him at will.

Then why should he continue to harm himself?

Calm.

If an ordinary person were here, they would likely be unable to move at all.

The sleeping posture of that Ancient Divine Beast gradually became peaceful.

Very serene.

Chen Yan's guess was indeed correct.

At this moment, his speed could be described as crawling, but it was far safer than before.

And he was getting closer and closer to the metal door.

Twenty meters.

Nineteen meters.

Fifteen meters.

Fourteen meters.

Ten meters.

Tap-tap!

The sound of footsteps suddenly rang out outside the hospital room.

Chen Yan's pace stopped once again, and he slowly turned his head to look.

With the help of the moonlight.

Chen Yan could see the hospital room door gleaming with a cold, hard metallic luster, the frosted glass emitting a faint white light.

Two figures appeared on the other side of the door.

They were walking up from downstairs, getting closer and closer to the hospital room.

Chen Yan did not act rashly; he glanced beside him, where two patients were sleeping peacefully.

But one patient's sleeping posture was clearly poor, with one foot exposed outside the bed, touching Chen Yan's trouser leg.

And the two people outside the door were now slowly walking into the hospital room door.

Their shadows on the frosted glass grew larger, more distinct, and deeper.

Until a certain moment.

With a snap.

A hand was already resting on the door handle.

Click!

Click!

The sound of the handle turning rang out.

The entire keyhole emitted a low, dry hum that echoed throughout the hospital room, becoming increasingly noisy.

Everything became restless and uneasy.

Click!

Click!

The door was slowly pushed open.

The gap in the door grew wider.

Chen Yan, standing in the middle of the hospital beds, had already seen the white coat of a doctor at the door gap.

"What's the rush to go in? Let's have a cigarette first."

An impatient woman's voice whispered.

"That's true, let's have a cigarette first."

Click.

The sound of a lighter being pressed rang out.

The hospital room door, which had been opened, was left slightly ajar just like that.

Two silhouettes of women smoking appeared on the frosted glass.

Two wisps of blue smoke were exhaled from their mouths, drifting slowly upward.

This cigarette was being smoked very slowly.

"What is there to see in this dump? It's been so many years, it's always been like this, and I've never seen anyone get better."

A lazy woman's voice spoke up.

"The Town Mayor and the Deputy Town Mayor do come to see them often, though."

"Heh, lowly human race."

"No matter how powerful the Town Mayor is, they still have to kneel when they see us."

"It seems a human has appeared inside the school."

"Can humans even enter the school?"

"Seems like a human from the outside."

The sound of discussion arose.

It was neither loud nor soft, but very loose.

"Forget it, no more room checks, let's go back to sleep."

A nurse said this while smoking, closing the door that had just been opened.

Chen Yan's brows relaxed.

It seems the Dream Illusory World does not have absolutely strict rules.

In some aspects, the Shi Meng Mo did not do a good job.

No.

Perhaps, it is not the Shi Meng Mo's reason.

But the reason of Lu Xunyang.

Lu Xunyang perhaps influenced this patch of the Dream Illusory World.

Chen Yan thought as such.

But he could not move now.

As long as he made even the slightest movement, he could absolutely attract the attention of those two.

He just had to wait for those two to finish smoking and leave.

The problem is.

Why must they smoke outside the patient's room; do they not know it is bad for the patient's health?

Time seemed to become extremely long.

Wisps of blue smoke were continuously exhaled from the mouths of the two nurses.

Chen Yan watched quietly, waiting for these two to leave.

Until Chen Yan saw one person already throw the cigarette butt on the ground and stub it out.

The other person's cigarette was also about to be finished.

Chen Yan's expression grew colder and colder.

Until the cigarette in the other person's hand also fell to the ground.

Are these two nurses Ancient Divine Beasts, or part of the rules?

Why would they smoke?

But Chen Yan did not take out the paper to look.

He worried that the sound made just by raising his hand would attract the attention of these two.

Fortunately, these two were about to leave.

One nurse stretched, then moved away; on the window, the other's reflection also became smaller and smaller.

Suddenly.

"Did you think I didn't notice you?"

An abrupt sound of a girl's sleep-talking arose.

It echoed right within such a quiet patient room.

On the window, the reflection of the nurse who had already moved away also paused.

"Stealing things is not good."

The girl's sleep-talking was still sounding.

The girl was just lying quietly on the hospital bed, eyes tightly shut, but the words in her mouth were exceptionally clear.

Click-clack.

Outside the patient room, a nurse who had originally moved away was now advancing toward the patient room.

Her figure reflected on the glass, becoming taller, larger, and deeper.

Chen Yan pursed his lips, the power of will within his body slowly circulating, ready to bloom completely in the next instant.

It seems, there is no escaping.

Chen Yan already knew the background of the Shi Meng Mo.

An eighth-rank peak Ancient Divine Beast.

One of the five strongest Ancient Divine Beasts in the world.

This is an Ancient Divine Beast that was conceived within the corpse of the Mother God after the Mother God's soul returned to the universe.

In a certain sense.

This is the younger brother or sister of the Ancient Divine Beast Bai E and the Ancient Divine Beast Fanni, who are currently suppressed by the human race.

Powerful beyond imagination.

Chen Yan did not expect that he would actually suffer a setback here.

Click!

Click!

Click!

The sound of the handle turning arose once again.

A nurse was about to fully open this door.

"Forget it, it must be Li Li again; she is always talking in her sleep."

Another nurse who had not arrived spoke up, sounding languid:

"Ever since the Deputy Town Mayor came here last time, she has kept saying this line in her sleep."

The nurse was still explaining helplessly.

The ward door had already been opened a crack.

A nurse's head poked out from the gap in the door, scanning toward the leftmost hospital bed.

"Did you think I didn't notice you?"

The girl lying on the hospital bed was still talking in her sleep.

This nurse glanced at the girl talking in her sleep.

If her gaze had shifted just a little more to the right, she could have seen Chen Yan standing right in the middle.

But immediately after.

Click.

The ward door closed.

"It really is Li Li, talking in her sleep every single day."

The nurse said with a faint smile, then left.

"Did the Deputy Town Mayor steal something?"

Chen Yan held his breath, waiting until the two nurses had completely left before he continued to move.

His footsteps were extremely slow.

Chen Yan took a full minute to cover the distance of one bed.

It was not that Chen Yan was being overly cautious.

All the way to the very last bed.

There were no patients at all in the beds on the left and right.

In the entire ward, there were twelve hospital beds in total, yet only ten patients.

This perhaps indicated that two Ancient Divine Beasts had already awakened and left.

The final metal door was now only a stone's throw away from Chen Yan.

Chen Yan slowly reached out his hand and pressed it against the doorknob.

There was only one final step left before he completely obtained the fortuitous encounter.

Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap!!!

Suddenly.

A burst of footsteps, noisy to the extreme, arrived.

Chen Yan withdrew his hand.

This time, the people who arrived were not just two.

But four!

Furthermore, their footsteps were fast, and they were heading straight for the ward.

Chen Yan froze in place.

Those footsteps were getting closer.

Getting closer.

Getting closer.

Getting closer.

One second.

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

Four seconds!

Five seconds!

Click-click-click-click!!!

The ward door was opened directly.

The Fatty-faced Principal smiled, pulling Chen Changyuan's hand as he walked toward the final metal door.

"This child has suffered so much; having sustained such heavy injuries, the trash medicine in the school infirmary simply cannot heal him."

The Fatty-faced Principal said in a hushed voice, tears shimmering in his eyes, even though Chen Changyuan did not have a single wound on his body right now.

A nurse spoke up:

"Two bottles at most."

The Fatty-faced Principal was stunned, revealing his dissatisfaction:

"The child is already like this."

"Two bottles!" That nurse crossed her arms and lifted her head.

"What would it matter if you gave a little more?" The Fatty-faced Principal lowered his voice, his face tensed up.

"One bottle!" the female nurse said, also lowering her voice.

"You... you're going too far!" The Fatty-faced Principal was enraged.

The female nurse frowned.

"Alright," Chen Changyuan laughed:

"One bottle is enough."

The chubby-faced Principal hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Tomorrow, I will make you the student council president; from then on, you can do whatever you want."

As he spoke, he covered his mouth and wept:

"This child has truly suffered, wuwuwu..."

Chen Changyuan nodded with a faint smile.

Immediately after, he and the chubby-faced Principal walked one after the other toward the final metal door.

A look of boredom appeared in the eyes of the two nurses, and one of them took out a cigarette.

The two of them started smoking right outside the ward, not entering at all.

As for Chen Changyuan, he scanned the entire ward as he walked.

His gaze swept over the eleven patients.

In the last row, one patient was completely wrapped in a quilt.

And the hospital bed opposite him was actually empty.

Chen Changyuan narrowed his eyes.

His gaze lingered on that empty bed for a long time, but he still did not speak.

Soon, Chen Changyuan and the chubby-faced Principal opened the metal door and took two bottles of medicine from inside.

The two prepared to leave.

"Did you think I didn't notice you?"

On a hospital bed, a girl suddenly spoke in her sleep.

Chen Changyuan's body stiffened.

"Stealing things is not good."

The girl was still talking in her sleep.

A chill went through Chen Changyuan's heart.

The chubby-faced Principal wiped the sweat from his forehead:

"We are all family; taking, that is taking, not stealing..."

Inside the entire ward, patients began to toss and turn, their previously peaceful expressions changing.

They were about to wake up.

Outside the door, a nurse approached, placed one hand on the girl's face, and said softly:

"Good, good, sleep well..."

"Good, good, sleep well..."

Her voice was gentle, but her face was full of impatience.

Soon, the little girl talking in her sleep closed her mouth.

The nurse waved her hand, and Chen Changyuan and the chubby-faced Principal left one after the other.

"It's nothing, she has always had the habit of talking in her sleep."

Outside the door, the nurse explained.

"So that's how it is..." the chubby-faced Principal sighed:

"I was just saying, how could Changyuan be stealing things."

Soon, the group left.

On the hospital bed in the last row, Chen Yan slowly pushed aside the quilt covering his face.

In reality.

At this moment, Chen Yan was standing in a humanoid pit inside a stone cave.

Chen Yan slowly got out of bed.

He placed one hand on the handle and slowly opened the metal door.

The next moment.

Even Chen Yan was startled by the scene before him.

In the room, several crates of medicine were neatly stacked, the labels on the crates densely marked with names and batch numbers.

This was the source of the energy.

Moreover, it seemed there was not only blood-Qi energy.

This was the accumulation of an eighth-rank ancient divine beast.

PS: One chapter, so I won't split it.

This chapter is more complete when read in one go.
