Lin Shuang: Let Me See What's Going On.

That guy clearly had a slightly excessive protective instinct towards the Firefly.

Of course, given their limited contact, Lin Shuang couldn't make very accurate judgments.

"..."

The Firefly her Brother's personality all too well, and she also knew why he had acted that way on Sunday.

"Lin Shuang, what are your plans?"

"Let's try contacting Gallagher first. Since we already know he has problems, we might as well be more open and make direct contact."

Chapter 282 Lin Shuang: Let me see what's going on?

Lin Shuang's confidence stems from her own strength.

The fact that the Family has been able to occupy Penacony for so long suggests that they likely have Emanator backers.

But no matter what, Gallagher shouldn't have gone to that level.

Emanator isn't a cabbage.

As long as she's not facing an opponent at the level of Emanator, Lin Shuang can still escape even if she can't win.

The Firefly was somewhat worried by Lin Shuang's directness.

But to be honest, there's not much of a good solution right now.

After Lin Shuang's repeated assurances, the Firefly finally agreed to Lin Shuang's risky plan.

However, one condition was made: the two must maintain regular contact in case something happens to one of them.

They exchanged information briefly.

After Lin Shuang learned about Gallagher's approximate daily activity range from the Firefly,

The two then parted ways.

Only...

I watched the Firefly return to its workplace.

Lin Shuang turned around, her gaze slightly raised.

I caught a glimpse of a pitch-black Crow perched high on a streetlamp, almost disappearing into the night.

The [Mystic Seal of True Sight] appeared in the pupils.

It was still that strange feeling of something being triggered, yet nothing actually happened.

Lin Shuang was worried that activating this Mystic Markings would wake her up directly from her dream.

However, it seems that the Mystic Markings, due to Lin Shuang's own will, has not been able to dispel the Dreamscape of the Reverie.

Although Lin Shuang could sense that if she wanted to...

It is possible to force oneself to regain consciousness using the [Mystic Seal of True Sight].

From this perspective, this skill is quite intelligent.

But compared to this...

As Lin Shuang examined her closely, she immediately realized...

This Crow is not an animal landscape created to simulate an urban ecosystem.

The Crow's head bobbed, but its dark eyes remained fixed on Lin Shuang's direction.

The moment their eyes met.

Lin Shuang sensed something was amiss.

The Crow had probably been observing Lin Shuang and the Firefly's meeting in the vicinity ever since it first saw the Firefly.

Is someone monitoring me?

Who is it?

Lin Shuang was genuinely unsure.

Was it Sunday, or did Gallagher sense something was wrong?

Lin Shuang believed that her actions had no conflict with her Family.

At most, it would be on Sunday, because of the Firefly incident, that they might attract the other party's attention.

As for Gallagher, he may have noticed the Firefly's gaze and thus turned the tables to investigate.

Both of them are possibilities.

But Lin Shuang felt that Sunday was more suspicious.

This is, after all, Family territory.

Furthermore, images associated with birds are more easily associated with Sunday.

Lin Shuang didn't pay much attention to the Crow.

Penacony has too many secrets, and what Lin Shuang needs are those who are hiding, preferably those who can take action.

Only when they take action will Lin Shuang have a chance to grasp the clues.

This Crow was a pleasant surprise, but it wasn't as important as Gallagher.

Now that someone has chosen to monitor me.

Let's wait and see.

Let's see which side the people behind this bird are on.

In short, Lin Shuang still planned to meet with Gallagher first.

Let's see for ourselves what kind of person this Security Officer is.

According to the Firefly, Gallagher tends to linger in lively places.

For example, Golden Hour, Grand Theater, and Dreamflux Reef.

Lin Shuang decided to browse around the Golden Hour area first.

However, just as Lin Shuang was about to leave, a well-dressed woman from the Family, wearing a suit and sunglasses, came up to Lin Shuang.

"Miss Lin Shuang."

Looking at the Family members bowing to her, Lin Shuang recognized the insignia of the Oak Family.

Is it Sunday?

Lin Shuang raised an eyebrow. Could it be that she's spying on me because she's a sister-obsessed sister?

"You're a member of the Oak Family, right? What can I do for you?"

"I apologize for disturbing you. The Head of the Family of the Oak Family wishes to meet with you privately. I wonder when Miss Lin Shuang is available?"

Did they say what was going on on Sunday?

"Uh, I'm sorry, the Head of the Family didn't tell me what it was about."

The woman in black apologized, somewhat embarrassed.

She knew the woman in front of her was a guest invited back by the Firefly, and Sunday treated her with great care.

Although she didn't know Lin Shuang personally, she at least knew that Lin Shuang either had influence or power.

Therefore, he treated Lin Shuang with great politeness.

"It's okay, let's go now, there's nothing else to do anyway."

Thinking of this, Lin Shuang glanced up again, but the Crow from before had already flown away.

"Thank you for your understanding. Um, is there anything you're interested in, sir?"

"Sorry, it's nothing, let's go."

Lin Shuang turned around and smiled at the members of the Oak Family.

"Okay, please follow me."

The members of the Oak Family didn't dwell on these issues; instead, they took it upon themselves to responsibly to guide the way.

The two of them went there.

It was the Morning Dew Mansion that was built on Sunday.

This place is quite famous, as it served as the residence of the Head of the Family of the Oak Family.

Although ordinary people can't even get in here.

Lin Shuang had only heard of it before; this was her first time visiting.

They were led into the mansion by family members.

A rather large mansion, with what appeared to be some complex mechanisms, came into view before Lin Shuang.

Of course, because someone was leading the way, Lin Shuang only noticed the traps.

But the journey was smooth sailing.

As I passed by a large hall, I also saw a miniature model of the Golden Hour.

"... You even have this hobby on Sunday? Like creating a miniature model or something in your Dreamscape."

Lin Shuang looked at the model with some curiosity.

Dreamscape are constructed by people, so it's normal for them to have a complete model.

But who would put something like this in their home, especially with a bunch of idiot NPC inside?

What kind of mentality is this?

"..."

The person leading the way kept his eyes down and had no intention of joining Lin Shuang in gossiping about their Head of the Family.

"... Head of the Family is just ahead."

The woman gestured towards the steps directly in front of her.

Lin Shuang glanced at it sideways.

In the shadow of this mansion.

Lin Shuang keenly sensed the feeling of being watched, almost exactly the same as before.

And they caught a glimpse of that dark figure.

It's Crow again.

It was indeed done on Sunday.

Was he in such a hurry to call me over because I discovered his surveillance methods?

Meanwhile--

On Sunday, he sat in his office, his face ashen.

"In that instant... she shattered that Dreamscape the moment she noticed me?! How is that possible... What does she mean? Is she warning me, or showing off against me?"

He only wanted to keep an eye on his younger sister, to see what dangerous things she was doing.

Who would have thought that they would discover Lin Shuang's secret?

The Dreamscape was so easily shattered that Sunday almost lost his composure.

So he quickly ordered his men to invite Lin Shuang to the Morning Dew Mansion.

We must probe Lin Shuang's intentions!
