Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

Shang Muchen tried hard to reinforce a certain understanding in his mind—

This is a dream!

It was all an illusion!

All the information received by our senses is false!

Although "rationality" was still lingering in the corners of my mind, trying to whisper some terms: gravity, sense of direction, objectivity...

Shang Muchen deliberately ignored the voice that was having an internal dialogue with him, completely shutting down all signals in his mind, and ran wildly without regard for anything else, relying only on the direction he had set in advance.

Behind Shang Muchen, Xiao Jie and the others followed him without a care in the world, running sideways.

At this point, reason is no longer important to most people. After all, the dog is chasing too closely, and the ferocious dog with its drooling cheeks is far more convincing than reason.

The dogs and security guards that had been chasing them also came sideways, as if the entire universe had turned around and flipped 90 degrees.

Since they can run sideways, it's not unreasonable for them to run headfirst and upside down.

Shang Muchen led everyone from a mad dash to running on the ceiling of the corridor, and they ran along the corridor all the way to the artificial landscape river.

A high-arched stone bridge spans the river. The cement structure is already built, but the antique-style carvings are not yet finished. It stands there with white slag, like a white ox with its back arched.

Shang Muchen suddenly turned, twisted at a pretzel angle, and rushed out from the ceiling of the corridor, running towards the bottom of the stone bridge arch.

In just a few seconds, Shang Muchen led a group of people, along with the dogs and security guards chasing him, across the stone bridge headfirst and feet first, circling around like ants, and then running back the way they came.

The group following Shang Muchen had a lot of questions in their minds, but being chased by the dog, they couldn't utter a single word.

Within his "Mind's Eye," Shang Muchen detached himself from subjective perception and, from a godlike perspective, observed that they had successfully guided this energy vortex through the Möbius strip, achieving a change in direction.

The energy vortex changed from rotating clockwise to rotating counterclockwise.

The people running frantically at the scene naturally couldn't see any of this; they could only desperately chase after Shang Muchen's retreating figure, trying their best to run as fast as they could.

Shang Muchen led this energy vortex straight towards the energy vortex due east of Ashiya Renzaburo.

To his companions, Shang Muchen had already run back to the ground and was heading deeper into the complex of buildings.

"Are we going the right way?" Wu Biao shouted as he ran, limping.

"Don't ask! Follow me!" Shang Muchen shouted.

After running for a few more minutes, Shang Muchen heard the sounds of metal clanging and shouts.

Soon, the lights ahead came on. Under the illumination of the headlights of construction machinery, in an open field, Ashiya Ninzaburo was wielding his two samurai swords and fighting against a group of ninjas with black veils covering their faces.

He was indeed highly skilled in martial arts and had an outstanding swordsmanship, but every time he cut down a ninja, two more would spring up from a cloud of smoke.

Judging from his disheveled hair, blood-soaked body, and staggering steps, he had been fighting here for a long time and was about to give up.

"Master!"

Fujiwara Eikichi shouted and charged forward like a madman, kicking a ninja in the lower back and knocking him down. Then, he swiftly snatched the ninja sword from the ninja's hand and joined the battle.

"Idiot! Don't go! Come with me!" Shang Muchen shouted.

"Teacher! Escape! The enemy is the enemy!"

Fujiwara Eikichi, pulling Ashiya Renzaburo along, stumbled out of the battle and caught up with Shang Muchen, running wildly towards the northeast.

The pack of wolves had already caught up to this place, and upon seeing the ninja, they rushed at him and began to tear him apart without any regard for his safety.

The ninjas and the wolves fought fiercely, but Shang Muchen ignored them and led the group on a run for a while.

A moment later, the surroundings fell silent.

When they looked back, the wolfhound was gone, and so was the ninja.

Within his "mind's eye," Shang Muchen saw that he had successfully neutralized the two rotating energy vortices.

"Huh? Your leg doesn't hurt anymore?" Wu Biao looked down and touched his calf. The wound from the dog bite had disappeared, and even his pants weren't torn.

Ashiya Ninzaburo's katana had also disappeared, and the blood and mud on his body were gone, but his hair was still disheveled and he was panting heavily.

"Alright, you asked me to save your master, and I did." Shang Muchen raised his chin, held out his hand, and said, "Pay up."

"Minami-chan! Minami-chan still needs to be saved! Where did she go?" Fujiwara Eikichi shouted excitedly.

After catching his breath, Ashiya Renzaburo finally spoke, "Reflecting Spiritual Platform Formation!"

"What?" Fujiwara Eikichi asked, puzzled. "What are you talking about?"

"I mean, this is a formation called the Reflection of the Spirit Platform Formation." Ashiya Renzaburo turned to look at Shang Muchen, nodded approvingly, and said,

"As expected of a disciple of a feng shui master, he is so proficient in Qimen Dunjia that he was able to easily break the Reflection Platform Formation."

Although I knew about this formation, I couldn't escape; I was completely trapped.

"Master! Stop talking about that! Where's Nan-chan? Where is she?"

"You don't need to worry about her. She got caught in another trap in the formation while trying to get you out."

However, her willpower is even stronger than mine; she should be able to hold out for these few hours.

"Hey, Ashiya-san, where is Shikamaru now?" Xiao Jie asked.

Ashiya Renzaburo glanced at Xiao Jie and retorted, "Aren't you his subordinate? You don't know that yourself, yet you're asking me?"

"What do you mean by 'subordinate'? I'm just his friend!" Xiao Jie said unhappily.

"I can't contact him right now, and I'm very worried."

If you have any news about him, you'd better let me know as soon as possible!

"I don't know his exact location, but he should be with Hidetoshi Kurosaki right now. The two of them are plotting to open a spatial rift and bring some treasures, weapons, or even people from another dimension."

"Another dimension? What's going on? What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Biao's eyes widened in disbelief.

Fang Xuan smiled calmly and advised, "Shorty, haven't you seen enough strange things tonight?"

Use your brain, which is made of muscles, to think about this. Since illusions and arrays are possible, things like time travel to other worlds might not be impossible either.

"Intentionally triggering an otherworldly travel event is a serious violation of the 'Supernatural Disaster Prevention, Management and Control Law.' Lu Mingdi isn't that stupid; he wouldn't do something so foolish!" Xiao Jie cried out, clenching his fist in frustration.

"Furthermore, the Supernatural Disaster Management Bureau's satellites scan the globe in real time. If any location experiences a collapse in reality stability, the Bureau will intervene immediately. They simply won't have time to open the portal to another world!"

"That's why Kurosaki Hideyoshi set up this 'Reflection Spirit Platform Formation' here," Ashiya Ninzaburo said.

"This formation is less a protective array to prevent outsiders from entering, and more a formation designed to create illusions, form shadows, and evade surveillance."

You may not know that the so-called "Reflection of the Spirit Platform Array" is an array that can directly reflect the fears deep in your heart, thereby releasing illusions.

The formation itself is almost like a mirror; whatever you fear, the mirror will reflect it.

Therefore, this large array also acted like a mirror, reflecting the real-time scans of the Supernatural Disaster Management Bureau's detection satellites, buying Hidetoshi Kurosaki time to get things done.

I think he's close to succeeding. We must stop him as soon as possible before he causes even more trouble!
