Hallucination World Lost Path

Linsey naturally didn't want to disturb Wala Wala's advancement.

Upon hearing Yao Xing's question, he carefully opened the door and walked into the corridor on the basement floor.

Yao Xing was right at the door.

She seemed to have arrived in a hurry, and hadn't even had time to change out of her costume.

Linsey's opening and closing of the door, as a fellow Fifth Stage superstar, naturally alerted the power brewing within the room.

Yao Xing Pupil Earthquake:

"That's... Wala Wala?"

"She's about to advance!"

Linsey nodded in agreement:

"Today we tried playing some new styles of music in the theater, and it seems that Wala Wala was inspired by the music and his skills improved as a result."

Upon hearing the answer, Yao Xing's eyes suddenly became confused:

"Sixth Stage, Sixth Stage..."

In the City of a Thousand Sails.

Take the Fimbul Theater as an example.

For example, Fimbul, the owner of the theater, Seth, a leading figure among playwrights, were both absolute powerhouses at the Seventh Stage.

Further down the hierarchy, the theater's other management, as well as some renowned figures who can decide on performances according to their own preferences, are the awakened ones in the Sixth Stage.

Like Yao Xing or the previous Wala Wala.

Although they are also from City of a Thousand Sails, they are stars in the absolute sense.

But ultimately, it only limits them to the level of actors, and many performers are stuck at the Fifth Stage for their entire lives, separated from the upper levels by an invisible wall.

And now, with Wala Wala, they have indeed crossed that high wall.

This is not just an increase in lifespan and skill, but also signifies that the other party has completely broken away from the social class of the past.

Thinking about this, Yao Xing couldn't help but feel lost. "Teacher, how... how should I learn this?"

After spending a few days together, Linsey had already come to regard Yao Xing as a friend.

Seeing the girl's confused expression, he changed the subject, asking about something that wouldn't cause her anxiety:

"Yao Xing, how was your street performance today?"

Yao Xing snapped out of her daze and quickly put on a smile, "It went fairly smoothly."

"With Mr. Fimbul leading the performance, everything went very smoothly, and the town was extremely lively."

Linsey nodded slightly, and then inquired about the information:

"I heard that the original plan for the Art Festival was for the artists in the Eighth Stage to perform today."

"Did you see them perform during your street parade today?"

Yao Xing shook her head slightly, also somewhat puzzled. "Now that you mention it, I really didn't see it."

"And from what I understand, the opening performance featured appearances by some very important people, such as the esteemed person who came to the theater yesterday."

Why aren't they here?

"..."

Hearing Yao Xing's reply.

Linsey's face was furrowed with worry, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

The Eighth Stage artist, who was originally scheduled to appear but suddenly disappeared, and the Underwater Studio that was handed over yesterday.

Could putting all these things together cause some kind of butterfly effect?

brush--

As if responding to Linsey's idea.

On his Attribute Panel's Task Bar, a string of unsettling text began to slowly emerge.

[Hallucination World Lost Path]

[The Hallucination Dream of the City of a Thousand Sails erupts simultaneously, dragging its residents into different worlds. Is this performance art prepared by artists, or a conspiracy by treacherous individuals under the guise of a festival? Unravel the truth and return to the Real World.]

[Quest Rewards: Nautilus, Dream Paint (Blue), Large Amount of Attribute/ Skill Experience Points]

"..."

"Ah?"

Linsey's expression changed.

Yao Xing, still unaware of what was happening, asked with a somewhat surprised expression:

"Linsey, what's wrong?"

Linsey didn't have time to answer the other person.

Just then, the Sky Compass also started vibrating, warning him of impending danger!

Linsey realized something was wrong.

He turned and reached out towards the door, intending to protect Wala Wala.

The moment he grasped the doorknob, the space warped so fast it enveloped the entire city.

Linsey, in the theater, was no exception.

The scene around him changed rapidly; in just two or three breaths, everything in front of him had undergone a dramatic transformation.

He is no longer on the basement floor of the Fimbul Theater.

Instead, they found themselves in a wide-open field.

Because the movement was too forceful, and they were unwilling to let go.

He yanked the door off with a loud Wala Wala, and it now stood upright in front of him.

call--

A gentle breeze blew in from the east.

Linsey smelled the distant scent of wheat and the dampness of the morning dew in the air.

"Hallucination Dream..."

Linsey murmured softly.

Needless to say, I was definitely chosen by the Hallucination Dream and dragged into a world created by an artist.

"Linsey, where are we?"

Just then, a voice rang out from behind Linsey.

He turned his head and saw that Yao Xing was standing behind him.

Perhaps because the two were very close, after being swallowed by the Hallucination Dream, they were transported to a certain place.

Yao Xing simply doesn't understand the current situation:

"Spatial skills?"

"I clearly didn't sense any similar Essence energy, so how did I suddenly end up here?"

"Or is this some kind of illusion or a delusion-like ability affecting you..."

Linsey interrupted Yao Xing and tentatively asked:

"Yao Xing, don't you know where this is?"

Yao Xing immediately shook his head, feeling utterly bewildered:

"I don't know. I've almost never left the City of a Thousand Sails."

"I've only ever seen similar scenes in the world of paintings by some artists."

"..."

This is really bad.

Locals don't have the Task Bar prompts, so they don't have as much information as you do.

Linsey sighed inwardly and quickly explained to Yao Xing:

"When the environment changed just now, I sensed a power fluctuation similar to Hallucination Dream. If I'm not mistaken, we should have been dragged into Hallucination Dream."

"Huh?" Yao Xing's eyes widened, unable to believe this reality.

The Hallucination Dream is usually strictly controlled.

Not to mention, on days like Art Festival, this extends to key venues like the Fimbul Theater!

"How is this possible?"

"The guardian of the entrance to the Hallucination Gate..."

"Didn't something happen last time?" Linsey interrupted Yao Xing's astonishment, then immediately confirmed the current situation, "Anyway, that's the truth."

"Yao Xing, the Fimbul Theater is in the Blue District. Do you have any information about the Hallucination Dream here?"

Years of adventure have given Linsey a decisive and swift style.

Overwhelmed by this aura, Yao Xing immediately replied, "The Blue District naturally has an entrance to the Hallucination Gate."

"But I know of two. One is a fictional world created by a playwright where a hero challenges villains and ultimately defeats Demon God that threatens the world; the other..."

Boom! Yao Xing's explanation came to an abrupt end.

Because she didn't need to say anything more.

In just a short while, a huge red and black figure suddenly flew past from the sky.

This monster resembles a demon.

Its body is covered in rough black scales, it has horns on its head, and red flames flow in the center of its pupils.

With each step he took, the earth seemed to tremble in fear.

This dangerous creature positioned itself in front of Linsey and Yao Xing, staring at them with menacing eyes:

"How dare a weak human escape from the animal pen?"

"You pathetic and laughable creatures, as slaves and livestock, you should die here wailing!"
