Zhao Yang and Wang Peng exchanged a glance, then breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally resolved." Zhao Yang remarked, "This hypnotist is indeed powerful, but we must not underestimate him."

Wang Peng nodded in agreement. "Exactly, we should leave here quickly." Thus, Zhao Yang and Wang Peng left that great hall and returned to the previous small dark room, finding the young man still locked in the cage.

Zhao Yang walked over, opened the cage, and asked, "Are you alright?"

The young man looked up at Zhao Yang, tears of gratitude shimmering in his eyes. "Thank you for saving me. If you had not arrived in time, I would likely have been in grave danger."

Zhao Yang gently patted the young man's shoulder. "No need to thank me; as long as you are safe." Then, Zhao Yang took a slip of paper from his pocket and handed it to the young man.

The young man took the slip of paper, puzzled. "What is this?"

Zhao Yang smiled and said, "This is my contact information. If you encounter any difficulties again, you can come find me anytime."

The young man looked at Zhao Yang with gratitude, clutching the slip of paper tightly, tears of gratitude filling his eyes. "Thank you, I will."

Zhao Yang and Wang Peng left the small dark room and returned to the hotel.

They did not leave the city immediately, because they knew that although this hypnotist had been resolved by them, there were still many potential dangers.

They rested in the hotel for a few days, during which they also maintained contact with the local police station to learn about the hypnotist's affairs.

The police station was also very troubled by this hypnotist, as he had caused quite a bit of trouble in society, and many people had suffered greatly from him.

The police station was very grateful that Zhao Yang and Wang Peng had resolved this hypnotist and stated they would fully cooperate with their work.

A few days later, Zhao Yang and Wang Peng received good news: the young man was leaving the city. He stated he would go to stay with relatives, change his environment, and start life anew.

Zhao Yang and Wang Peng also expressed great happiness, because they had helped someone in need.

Finally, Zhao Yang and Wang Peng left the city and continued their journey.

They did not stop, because more unknowns awaited them ahead.

However, they knew that as long as they worked together, they could overcome any difficulties they encountered.

Zhao Yang turned to look at Wang Peng, smiled, and said, "Where is our next stop?"

Wang Peng thought for a moment and said, "I want to go to a mysterious place; I heard there are many unknown secrets there."

Zhao Yang was stunned. "Sounds interesting. Where exactly is it?"

Wang Peng smiled mysteriously. "You'll know when we get there."

The two exchanged a smile; their journey continued. "I will." The young man nodded heavily, his eyes full of gratitude. "Thank you, Zhao Yang."

Zhao Yang smiled slightly. "Remember, you must learn to protect yourself in the future."

The young man nodded gratefully again. "I will."

Afterwards, Zhao Yang and Wang Peng left the small dark room, walked onto the street, and both sighed deeply.

Although this incident had ended, they also realized they could not continue like this; they must quickly find more clues and locate the whereabouts of the Extra-Dimensional Heavenly Demon.

Otherwise, more and more troubles would appear in this world.

In the following days, Zhao Yang and Wang Peng conducted investigations locally, trying to find clues to the Extra-Dimensional Heavenly Demon.

Although they discovered some suspicious people and events, they still had not found the real clue.

This made both Zhao Yang and Wang Peng feel very frustrated.

One night, Zhao Yang and Wang Peng arrived at a bar, preparing to have a drink to relax their mood.

As soon as they entered the bar, Zhao Yang felt a very strange aura rush towards him.

He looked around the environment and found that many people inside were very strange.

Some were sitting in corners whispering something, some were staring at computer screens, and some were looking at everything around them with strange eyes.

Zhao Yang knew these people must have problems.

He sat down beside Wang Peng without showing any emotion, pretending to know nothing.

After a while, suddenly a group of people walked out of a room inside the bar; among them, one person held a key in his hand, looking very mysterious.

Zhao Yang recalled what had happened earlier in the hotel and immediately understood that this key must also have been given to these people by the hypnotist.

He immediately rushed over, preparing to snatch the key.

But before he could get close, suddenly everyone inside the bar turned into fierce thugs, rushing towards Zhao Yang and Wang Peng.

Although Zhao Yang and Wang Peng were very surprised, they were not afraid and immediately began fighting.

Although these thugs were very strong, Zhao Yang and Wang Peng's strength was not weak either; with a few swift moves, they defeated all the thugs.

Then Zhao Yang and Wang Peng rushed into that room and found a huge screen inside, on which a video was playing.

And the person in the video was the Extra-Dimensional Heavenly Demon!

After seeing the Extra-Dimensional Heavenly Demon, Zhao Yang and Wang Peng were both very excited. "We finally found him!"

But before they could take further action, suddenly everyone inside the bar turned into normal people, as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Yang and Wang Peng were both very surprised. "What on earth is going on?"

They looked around and found that the person who had been holding the key earlier was also gone.

Zhao Yang and Wang Peng immediately understood everything. "This Extra-Dimensional Heavenly Demon is indeed cunning; he deliberately set a trap to lure us!"

Wang Peng frowned. "But what should we do now? There are no clues left here."

Zhao Yang smiled slightly. "I know what he wants to do."

Wang Peng was slightly stunned. "What?"

Zhao Yang sighed lightly. "The reason this Extra-Dimensional Heavenly Demon did this must be to attract our attention." "Exactly." Wang Peng took a deep breath. "He wants to draw our gaze to the people he controls, then escape in the opportunity."

Zhao Yang nodded. "Exactly, we must now quickly find his tracks."

The two quickly left the bar and searched everywhere for the tracks of the Extra-Dimensional Heavenly Demon.

A few hours later, Zhao Yang and Wang Peng discovered a suspicious vehicle; inside sat a very suspicious figure who looked very similar to the Extra-Dimensional Heavenly Demon.

Zhao Yang and Wang Peng immediately chased after it and started the car.

As the vehicle sped along, they became increasingly certain that the person inside the vehicle was the Extra-Dimensional Heavenly Demon.

But they also knew the Extra-Dimensional Heavenly Demon would definitely not stop easily; they must think of a way.

Zhao Yang frowned slightly. "I have thought of a plan. Wang Peng, follow me."

Speaking thus, Zhao Yang swiftly turned the steering wheel, and the car veered into a narrow alley.

It was very quiet here, with not a single person in sight.

Zhao Yang and Wang Peng quickly got out of the car, preparing to manually set up some obstacles to force the Otherworldly Heavenly Demon to stop.

But before they could act, a burst of intense white light suddenly flashed, followed immediately by a loud explosion.

Zhao Yang and Wang Peng felt their bodies blasted away by a powerful shockwave, and then they lost consciousness.

After an unknown duration, Zhao Yang slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a bed, while Wang Peng sat by the bedside caring for him.

A warmth rose in Zhao Yang's heart. "Wang Peng, where are we?"

Wang Peng smiled slightly. "We are in a hospital. Don't worry; you only suffered minor injuries."

Zhao Yang nodded slightly. "What about the Otherworldly Heavenly Demon?"

A look of disappointment flashed across Wang Peng's face. "He still managed to escape us."

Zhao Yang sighed deeply. "What a pity."

Although they ultimately failed to capture the Otherworldly Heavenly Demon, they did not lose heart.

Because they knew that many unknowns in this world still awaited their exploration.

They must continue to strive constantly to find more clues and stop the Otherworldly Heavenly Demon's conspiracy.

Thus, Zhao Yang and Wang Peng continued their journey, heading toward the next city.

During their travels, they also discovered many interesting things, such as some peculiar buildings and customs.

These experiences also broadened their horizons.

One night, Zhao Yang and Wang Peng arrived inside an ancient castle. This castle displayed many ancient artifacts and treasures.

But these were not the most important things.

When they entered the castle, they sensed a very strange aura. This aura made them feel somewhat uneasy.

"Do you feel something is wrong?" Zhao Yang turned and asked.

Wang Peng nodded. "Indeed, it is strange. There seems to be a gloomy feeling here."

Zhao Yang frowned slightly. "We had better be careful." They cautiously crossed the castle's hall and discovered that a huge secret seemed hidden within the castle.

They found that the murals and inscriptions on the walls were exceptionally peculiar, seemingly recounting an ancient history.

While observing these murals and inscriptions, Zhao Yang and Wang Peng searched for the treasures inside the castle.

But before they could take further action, several stone slabs suddenly fell from the wall, followed immediately by a burst of intense white light.

Zhao Yang and Wang Peng felt their bodies sucked in by a powerful force, and then they appeared inside a huge secret chamber.

This secret chamber was filled with treasures, shining with dazzling light.

But Zhao Yang and Wang Peng were not overly excited, because they knew there must be something even more important here.
